Jets' Garrett Wilson says sideline screaming wasn't directed at Geno Smith - ESPN

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Star wide receiver Garrett Wilson finally lost his cool, erupting on the bench during the fourth quarter of the New York Jets' 28-25 loss to the previously winless Miami Dolphins on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

The CBS cameras caught a frustrated Wilson, targeted only three times, screaming in the direction of quarterback Geno Smith. Afterward, Wilson said he wasn't directing his ire at Smith. He didn't identify the target, but it appeared to be passing-game coordinator Seth Ryan, who was seated next to Smith.

«We were collaborating,» said Wilson, who was said to be upset with the playcalls in the red zone. «I don't even think I was talking to Geno. I think we were both heated, but not at each other at all. We were just disappointed with how we were playing up to that point and wanted to be a little more aggressive. That's what that was.»

Smith echoed that version.

«He might have been yelling, but I don't think he was yelling at me,» Smith said.

The fact that Wilson was screaming at all speaks volumes about the state of the Jets (2-5), who trailed at halftime 21-7 to a team that hadn't led in any of its previous five games.

It was a crushing loss for coach Aaron Glenn, who dropped to 5-19 and 0-8 in the AFC East. If he was on the hot seat before Sunday, the temperature rose another few degrees after perhaps the most demoralizing loss of his tenure.

The Jets were booed loudly at halftime and again at the end of the game.

«I understand the fans' frustration — I really do. I promise you, I do — but the thing is, I do feel like, man, this program is going in the right direction,» Glenn said.

Wilson agreed with that assessment, though he quickly added, «At 2-5, we're not in a good spot.»
