Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich is trying to tackle the team’s biggest defensive issue — tackling. Ulbrich saw his team miss 20 tackles in Sunday’s 31-6 loss to the Cardinals. He is trying to get things fixed with some changes in practice this week.

In the wake of their 20 missed tackle performance against the Cardinals, the Jets are returning to basics this week ahead of their game against the Colts.

“Defensively, the story was tackling, 100 percent,” Ulbrich said. “An egregious, criminal amount, of missed tackles.” From a player perspective, linebacker Jamien Sherwood provided the context. While the Jets have only won one game since Ulbrich took over as interim head coach, Sherwood is not pointing fingers.

The Jets have not met their expectations in the 2024 season. Coming off a 31-6 loss in Week 10 to the Cardinals, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich is focused on keeping his team's spirit up with seven games remaining.

"We're going to keep fighting. In all honesty, the playoffs should be the last thing on our mind right now. We've just got to play better football," said Jeff Ulbrich after the 31-6 road loss that dropped the Jets' record to 3-7 overall.
