We may now know the reason for Sheldon Richardson calling out Brandon Marshall after the Jets loss to the Patriots — where the defensive tackle said Marshall should be “embarrassed.”
According to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com — some Jets players — including Richardson — were angry at Marshall’s “boisterous” halftime rant vs the Patriots — in which he reportedly called out Jets defenders while trying to motivate them.
“When we’re getting blown out at halftime, there’s no reason to be fighting amongst each other,” Jets safety Calvin Pryor told ESPN.com. “I think that’s why guys were upset, because we needed to be fighting against the Patriots, instead of the Jets.”
Marshall defended himself by saying that he was trying to fire up his team.
To make matters worse, Jets defensive ends Leonard Williams and Muhammad Wilkerson suggested certain individuals didn’t give maximum effort in the loss, insinuating that Bowles has lost the locker room.
