Just the same old Jets?
LB Mosley says you’ll pay if you sleep on this club
By Dennis Waszak Jr.

Jets inside linebacker C.J. Mosley looks on against the Giants during a preseason game Aug. 14
in East Rutherford, N.J. ADAM HUNGER/AP
aybe C.J. Mosley was just excited
about being back on the field.
Perhaps it was what he has seen
the past several weeks at practice.
But when the New York Jets linebacker
was asked after a 12-7 preseason-opening
victory over the Giants in quarterback Zach
Wilson’s debut Saturday night if people
might be “sleeping” on the team’s defensive
line, Mosley delivered a zinger with the pop
of one of his tackles.
“I go back to one of my quotes when I
first got here about people sleeping on the
Jets,” Mosley said. “If people come with that
same mentality, they’re going to get their
(rear ends) blown out. That’s 100 percent,
no matter if we’re at MetLife (Stadium) or
anywhere else. If they think there’s anything
old about this Jets team, it’s not going to end
well for them.
“That’s the mindset that we’re going to
bring to work every day.”
Insert wide-eyed emoji here.
It was a bold statement that led reporters to pause for a second to make sure they
heard him right.
“We’ve just got to make sure that we hold
each other accountable every day when we
go to practice, make sure we try to stay as
healthy as possible,” Mosley continued. “You
know, have the same mindset, same goal to
win every game.”
Winning has been tough to come by the
past several years, and especially since
Mosley joined the Jets in 2019 after five
seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. New
York, which has the NFL’s longest active
postseason drought at 10 seasons, went 9-23
under coach Adam Gase the last two years,
including 2-14 last season.
Mosley had little to do with any of
those wins or losses after being limited
to just two games in 2019 because of a
groin injury and opting out of last season
because of the coronavirus pandemic. But
the 29-year-old linebacker, who slimmed
down from 250 pounds to 231 to be more
mobile, is healthy again and highly motivated to show he’s the same player — or
better — as the one who made four Pro
Bowls in Baltimore.
The breath of fresh air from new coach
Robert Saleh and the scheme of defensive
coordinator Jeff Ulbrich have something to
do with Mosley’s confidence. Actually playing and making tackles again do, too, because
he certainly missed that.
“Yeah, 100 percent, man,” said Mosley,
who had a tackle and a pass defensed in his
two series. “You can never take this game for
granted, whether it’s preseason or anything
like that. Any time you step on the field, you
want to try to give it your all and you want to
try to take advantage of every opportunity
that you can get.”
