It was only a matter of time before Jamal Adams entered the war of words between the Jets and Seahawks.
Two days after Jets defensive coordinator Gregg Williams said Adams could ‘get bored’ with Seattle’s vanilla defense, prompting a sneaky response from Seahawks head coach Pete Caroll, Adams wrote on Saturday. on Twitter: “I just miss Gregg @PeteCarroll that’s ok … lol.
Adams has never been afraid to fan the flames, especially when it comes to his former team. The All-Pro security was traded to Seattle last month after voicing complaints that he had not received a contract extension from the Jets, although his rights were under control until 2021 for $ 9.86 million. dollars for the team. (Adams and the Seahawks have agreed to wait until 2021 to discuss a new contract.)
When he responded publicly to the hit trade for the first time this week, Williams told reporters, “Jamal may be bored out there because they don’t use their security business with all the complexities. maybe not showing what they are doing as much. like we do, ”in reference to Seattle’s Cover-3 schedule – which, while basic compared to other defenses, has been one of the most dominant defenses in the league for several years.
Williams, who guided the Jets to second-best running defense last season, also noted that “maybe [Adam’s] most productive year here [was] because of how we’ve highlighted the skill set he has.
The comments drew a retort from Carroll, who said, “We don’t make as many mistakes as [Williams] done, ”adding sarcastically,“ God, we’re so simple here and basic that we probably won’t cover any of that. It might be a good idea. Thanks for bringing it up. “
Adams, 24, said he “cried for joy” after the Jets traded him for two first-round picks (in 2021 and 2022), a third-round pick in 2021 and safety Bradley McDougald, who should replace Adams in the first row.
“The plan is to retire here,” Adams said.
The Jets are scheduled to visit Seattle in Week 14.
