The Jets' defensive coordinator search has flown under the radar during a frenzied HC carousel, but it has taken shape Friday. The team announced eight candidates for the job. In addition to interim DC Chris Harris, seven others received interviews. Don Martindale (Michigan), Jim Leonhard (Broncos), Ephraim Banda (Browns), Jim O'Neil (Lions), DeMarcus Covington (Packers), Daronte Jones (Vikings) and Mathieu Araujo (Dolphins) interviewed for the position.
I watched the 2025 Cowboys defense, and it was like owning a jacked-up 4×4 that still gets stuck in the mud. The potential was obvious, but the execution? That's where the wheels fell off. We saw penalties in critical moments, missed tackles that made me question defenders, communication busts on seemingly every play, and the thing that bothered me most, the team didn't lack talent.
