The New York Jets are 1-5 and Geno Smith just made his life worse when he slammed the New York media during a conference call with Boston media types.
Smith blamed the New York media for misreporting some of his issues.
For me, it hasn’t been,” said Smith, who faces the New England Patriots Thursday night on the road. “I think, obviously with everything that goes on with the media, a lot of things are, I would say, miscommunicated, and then it just gets misprinted and then misunderstood.
“I don’t have any quarrels with anything,” he continued. “The main thing is that we just have to find a way to get a win. The hardest part about it all is losing. With the effort, the time that we put in, the preparation that we put in throughout the week, coming up with game plans — we always have a really good game plan going in — and then obviously we haven’t executed as well as we’d like. Those things are tougher than I guess what can be said and what is portrayed out there in the media.”
Smith truly believes the media has blown a lot of his situations out of proportion. It’s hard to feel bad for the embattled quarterback.
Geno blamed the time zone on being late for a Saturday meeting last week. Yet Smith was keen enough with his time to make it to the viewing of the film on schedule.
Geno Smith is not the answer for the Jets and blame the media in New York city is likely to speed up his exit.
