Jeff Ulbrich, the Jets' defensive coordinator, isn't pleased with his team's performance after their loss to the Bills. He admitted that the defense was off to a shaky start, and it didn't measure up to their usual standards. The Bills managed to rack up 150 rushing yards, averaging 4. 7 per carry, including four big plays. Ulbrich believes this isn't the kind of football that wins games. He pointed out that the responsibility lies with everyone: the players, the coaches, and himself. He's confident they can fix these issues. Ulbrich emphasized that the run defense specifically needs a lot of work. He mentioned communication errors, poor calls, and assignment mistakes. The team is currently at a 2-4 record, so they can't afford many more slip-ups if they want a shot at the playoffs. Ulbrich knows they need to step up their game for their upcoming match against Pittsburgh. The Jets have been known for their strong defense in the past, so these recent struggles are disappointing. However, Ulbrich is determined to get things back on track. He believes that with some adjustments and better execution, the defense can return to its former glory.
