Jets Appoint Todd Downing as New Offensive Play-Caller Amid Struggles

The New York Jets shake up their coaching staff as Todd Downing takes over play-calling duties to revitalize the team's underperforming offense.

  • Todd Downing replaces Nathaniel Hackett as the Jets' offensive play-caller following the firing of head coach Robert Saleh.
  • The Jets rank 27th in total offense and last in rushing yards, prompting the coaching change to improve performance.
  • Downing, previously the passing game coordinator, aims to bring a 'tough, ruthless' style to the offense starting against the Buffalo Bills.
  • Aaron Rodgers, despite recent struggles, supports the change and maintains a positive relationship with Downing.
  • Analysts express skepticism about the impact of the change, noting similarities between Downing's past offensive strategies and the current system.
