This is ultimately Miami related because it's almost certain they land Trevor.

Cover zero with 13 seconds left?

Miami was accused by the media of tanking last season, how the hell can the NFL let the Jets clearly get away with tanking? No way in hell that play call is made if the Jets wanted to win. One tackle inbounds and you win. Instead you put a spy on an immobile QB and your corner on an island against a speedster?
 
I expect every media talking head to demand the Jets lose their pick like they did with Miami in Week 2 last year.

Dude the Fins called a cover 0 blitz in the exact same situation last season...
 
Doubt it but it looked pretty obvious on back to back plays they were trying to lose

No way. I expect them to ignore it after

Against the Steelers, right? That was at the end of the half and if you asked me then I'd imagine Flores was tanking... Something clicked mid season and Miami changed course.
 
Pretty hard to prove that a team which lost its first 11 games isn't bad enough to lose a 12th despite its best efforts.
 
Don't get me wrong I'm not saying they should lose the overall number but there should be a penalty of some sort
 
Easy solution. Change the draft format. Lottery for the five teams with the worst records. The perception of tanking would be no more.
 
Miami was accused early in the season last year of tanking but they were never in jeopardy of losing draft picks when others thought they were tanking for a particular player. The Colts basically tanked twice so they would be able to draft Manning and then Luck several years later.

I really don’t blame the Jets for tanking so they can draft Lawrence. Yet as bad as the team is and with Gase as their head coach their fans probably deserve the first pick in the draft after having to put up with Gase for the last two years.

It's impossible to prove unless a coach or player admit to it..

My hope is that Greg Williams gets fired after being promised a coaching role on the staff and then testifies that he was instructed to lose.

One can dream but we are talking about the Jets so you never know.

This was not that egregious. It was not like their DBs all lined up on the LOS, they were 10+ yards downfield, they just played poor man coverage.

I would think its pretty indisputable that Miami a chance to win last year. You can see that in the personnel moves we made. But that's not technically tanking. Either way, I think Miami's situation is a lot more indisputable than pointing to a defensive playcall. Especially coming from a veteran DC who has lived by bringing pressure throughout his lengthy career.
