Keith Carter Addresses Concerns With New York Jets Offensive Line & Coaching Style 

It’s insane that they brought Keith Carter back

I just don’t get how our Line could be nearly as bad as it’s been the last couple years with 3 new starters and a qb that knows how to run an NFL offense

I just fear with coaches like Keith Carter and Nate Hackett, you can get found out pretty quick, as was the case last year even with injuries.

This was a Jets Show Day to rehabilitate Carter. I didn’t hear anything that Carter said that would really persuade me he’s got this issue handled. Part of his explanation was he coaches hard and needs to change his message and tone. I doubt he will be able that because when a stressful situation comes he will revert back to his old style.

Tyron and Moses are old so the team will have to manage their practice reps to keep them healthy, Carter better fall in line.

We have the best roster in the division. Our coaches are mostly cheeks though

Got to give it to Saleh, he's been taking the hits for the entire team including asst coaches. Bout time they get looked at under the microscope

What does Keith Carter do well? Everything I hear or see comes across as a net negative.

You're right. It is weird that this coach gets talked about so much and it's more than poor performance. Before Quincy broke out and when Mosley was coming off injury the LB coach wasn't grilled. Same with the TEs coach, in fact he's loved. But the fact that players tweet about Keith Carter specifically is weird. He must be at a very intense level. It's almost urban Meyer like. I hope this guy has changed his approach and doesn't ruin all this great talent the line posesses this year.

This is the one glaring decision that I can’t justify when trying to defend Coach Saleh and JD. If JD left it up to coach, then I think coach dropped the ball. If it was JD‘s decision then obviously I think he did the same. You have to get rid of bad apples and that goes for players and coaches. but that being said if they have confidence in him for some reason, they’re with him every day so they know more than we do so I am in a wait-and-see mode right now. also, I must add that letting John Franklin Meyers go is a head scratcher for me🤔 go Jets

Hes gotta show something this year. If not fire him mid season idc

If this was meant as damage control to spin doctor Carter into a more acceptable light....eh...it doesn't sound great. I was always perplexed why our directionless offense would import Browning & Carter from a mostly punchless yawn-inducing Titans offense. That team was ALL Derrick Henry.

@AdamB34 I’m confused by a lot of things you say but I’m certain you encounter that a lot.

When the offense takes off there stock will go up and it will if not there stock will go down I m betting on up as long the injury bed down t bitter us agian

He's gotta be saying some messed up stuff that's flat out inappropriate at times. Either that or he does a ton of criticizing with very little praise ever. Crazy that he's an NFL coach having to figure out how to coach 🤦‍♂ Jets seem to get stuck with these guys often. What's the deal 😔

Why is this guy still here? Always the Jets

GET YOUR JOB DONE N YOULL HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH A COACH

Meanwhile Zach Wilson is QB3 in Broncos camo lmaooo. Cry truthers.

Keith Carter might have been a bastard as far as coaching style, but, under Arthur Smith the team was damn near unstoppable offensively when featuring Derek Henry. Now Smith and Carter have gone their separate ways, but we wish them well anyway.

Players are babies! As long as a coach doesn’t put their hands on you, just play! That’s how it was for he! Of course I didn’t like it. Just went out after Gabe’s and partied

Its clear Carter is incompetent. The only hope is that the newly arrived OL vets will stand up and make their opinions and complaints directly to the coach. If OL returns to last year's form expect Carter to be gone around the off week.

Saleh, Hackett, Carter = The WORST NFL coaching staff in the entire league. Lame ducks walking.....

I honestly think youre missing a key part. You referenced playing before and getting yelled at by coaches...i believe the difference is these guys are GROWN men, with families, not kids or college players. They dont respond to those types of coaches ideally....especially vets. Theres a reason so many players perfer playing for "player coaches" as opposed to disciplinarians. I think the perfect comp that you say you couldnt think of is Tom Coughlin. He changed his delivery, and coaching style in 2007 and it led to better relationships amongst his players. I think this is good for Carter and its good that Saleh stuck it out with him because clearly hes a good coach because those Titans olines ranked 2nd in yards and 4th in yards per play in his 5 years in Tennessee. If this works its gonna prove Saleh can develop staffs as well, already adding to Middleton, the DB coach, Dline coach, and Coach Brick. Saleh is gonna need his reapect when the season is over!!!!

Fact is Hack didn’t call plays in GB Matt LeFluer did! He sucks at calling plays! Carter better not scream in Moses face or Tyron! They could probably coach him

He has not had much success with his blocking schemes for the last 2 years here they have looked very unprepared Its funny that veteran players on this team have to bail out the incompetent failures of these coaches Rodgers has to bail out Hackett now smith and moses have to bail out Carter if the coaches arent doing their jobs then changes should have been made

This coaching staff will be gone next year. Sam Darnold will be a top 10 QB for the Vikings, and the Jets will have interest in him.... It's a full ⭕ circle lol.

why is he still here??????

The barking, authoritarian style is old & antiquated in this day and age. He best get that through his head or coaching NFL players might not be for him.

Not buying it. It's a sales pitch. They should have let Carter go

The whole league knew this was a lame duck staff so I doubt they could’ve done better. Idk if this guy is any good but to judge him off last year would be laughable. He coached multiple All Pro/Pro Bowl players in Ten but doesn’t get any credit for that? It’s like we only chose the narrative that piles on. If hurting players feelings gets them AP/PB results then sign me up lol

I am. Not a. Fan of. Keith. Carter

They’ll still suck

Even though we still have Keith Carter, they did higher. Another very good offensive line coach. So maybe they did that to soften Carter's arrogance

Keeping him was a mistake

Why didn’t we just bring in Tom Cable to be an offensive assistant/ assistant OL coach? The raiders and seahawks had solid OLines when he was there.

I would just 🔥 fire Keith Carter Ian & let the big black brotha step up & take the rings of running are O-line bro.

We have one of the best rosters in the NFL but are still stuck with very questionable coaching on the offensive side. Why? I seriously doubt that Carter is willing or able to change his approach or his personality. Can’t comprehend why is wasn’t sent packing. Hackett is a different set of problems- he is only with the Jets due to his closeness with Rodgers. I have heard people say, “ doesn’t matter if he is poor, Rodgers will run the offense.” Fine! But what happens if Roger’s is injured? Are we then throwing in the towel like last year? I didn’t understand the decisions last year and even less now. Today we have excellent talent as far as players, so why are we left with subpar coaching on one side of the ball?

I don't know why we didn't get rid of him and hire someone else, even if he was the only member of the Jets organization to be let go. Besides Rex Hogan. Players don't like him. I don't like him and other jet fans don't

To me, it sounds like Carter is an “old school” type coach ie: yelling/ insulting your players, etc. that stuff doesn’t sit well with GROWN men.

I think they should have moved on from Carter. But...Injuries played a big part in what went on with the O-line for the last 2 years. Players having to play out of position constantly will aggravate them, add to that the bad seasons, and you get what you get.

A couple of years ago, the defense was mad at a coach! Quinen went after him on the sidelines

I heard his practice system is to blame for all the OL injuries. Any truth to that?

I really wish they would have moved off of Carter! I understand coaching hard, but since he's been here we've had a far too much abundance of O-line injuries with his hard coaching! I mean: What the hell is he teaching??? Too many veteran player complaints about him! They can't all be wrong about his coaching! And most players want to be coached! As far as him changing? You can't change the spots on a leopard!!!

Hopefully, if Carter is failing, Smith and Moses will just fu*k him off and the rookies will follow their lead. Then Saleh will be forced to manage this.

What does a former tight end know about playing line?He gets no respect from guys that have played anywhere from 10-13 yrs.

winning solves a lot of these type problems.

You nailed it. This is the NFL and we should have a top flight coach that is prepared and has success delivering his message. Why is he still here?

He's definitely on thin ice he misses this up with possibly a Hall of Famer and Tyrod Smith he's definitely out of there

This dude sucks at his job…he’s actually worse than Hackett lmao

ok let's give him a chance. Hopefully the haters get humbled

They have to get rid of Carter. It's that simple.

These are grown ass men not highschoolers

WE DONT NEED WHINERS WE NEED MEN COACHES COACH N MOTIVATE

He should have yelled at those lines more last year, they were trash, play the second dolphins game back and tell me what a coach is going to do to fix those bums getting blown up in under a second

Ian you’ve covered all the points that needed addressed and my question is if you can see the problem why just why doesn’t the organization starting at the very top with Woody next in line is Joe Douglas and finally Coach Saleh-???? obviously they are the Three Blind Mince-!!! it’s pretty easy to see that yelling isn’t necessarily a quality character that makes players grow up in the game-they had their chance to upgrade and didn’t do so Surprised

So JC, the way you see it is the poor performance of the O-Line is because Keith Carter bad coaching job and not the Blood bath of O-Line Injuries. Okay. The Truth is I think a bit of both. The Talent has improved. Now year 2 here for Carter, he must learn from his mistakes last year.

A position coach should not be a cause of drama. If there is any drama due to Keith Carter this year, this will be on the head coach. I will give them the benefit of the doubt because, frankly, we have to. This year there should be no excuses, particularly from Keith Carter or Nathaniel Hackett.

Makes me wonder where the hell is Salah in all this? Isn’t he the head coach? He didn’t see the verbal abuse? He did nothing about it? He’s got a LOT to learn about being a head coach. Is he the head coach or the defensive coordinator?

I’m glad to see that he is aware of his reputation and he’s working to change it. Also good to know the problem was addressed by Saleh. I have less concerns about him now after hearing what he said.

One problem was that there were a whole bunch of O linemen showing up on the injury reports late in the week. So what happened since the previous game? Somehow the line played somewhat decently at the end of the season. What took so long?
