I thought the Jets HC comments and actions were interesting in regards to preparing the QB for real-game pass rush pressure.

But this summer and this season are more about Wilson and his development than anything else. To that end, the Jets tailored their practices toward testing him and making sure he and the offense found a rhythm. Instead of the normal amount of 7-on-7 periods, when there are no offensive or defensive lines, the Jets did more 11-on-11 so Wilson could feel the pass rush. Saleh feels that has helped not just Wilson, but the entire offense.

“For us, when you’re looking at 7-on-7, even 1-on-1s, they run routes that take forever,” Saleh told The Post this week. “In 7-on-7, the quarterback is going to hitch a little longer because there’s no pressure. You lose touch with the timing of the play because you don’t feel pressure. Having that rush and helping him understand, ‘Hey, bud, you’ve got one hitch. The second hitch is on you.’ For him to feel that timing, I think has been very helpful.”
