Zach Wilson Responds To Jets Fans

by

Zach Wilson and the New York Jets have not been the match made in heaven they were hoping for. The 2021 second-overall pick has been abysmal as of late. Overall, he could be in for a rude awakening in the offseason as the Jets could easily go and get someone better.

Last night, the Jets played the Jacksonville Jaguars and they were hoping to get above .500. Instead, the Jaguars beat them by a score of 19-3. Wilson ended up getting pulled as he went 9-18, 92 yards, and one interception. Needless to say, Wilson was just awful.

Zach Wilson Reacts

With Wilson playing awful football, the Jets fanbase let him have it. There were numerous occasions in which you could hear the fans booing him. This is certainly bad news for any quarterback. However, Wilson told the media that he completely understands their frustration.

“We don’t blame them. We have a very passionate fanbase and they’re here to watch us score touchdowns and we’re not scoring touchdowns,” Wilson said. “We’re not getting first downs, we’re not moving the ball. We obviously can’t throw the ball. So, of course they’re going to be frustrated.”

Head coach Robert Saleh believes Wilson can still have a career in New York. Although it’s nice to say that for Wilson’s confidence, he appears to be another QB draft bust that just can’t play at the highest level.

Let us know what you think of Zach Wilson, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sports world.

LeSean McCoy Calls Dak Prescott “Ass” On Live TV: Watch

by

LeSean McCoy had a solid NFL career, and now, he finds himself giving analysis on TV. Like many former NFL stars, McCoy has gone into broadcasting. If you have seen his work with Speak For Yourself on FS1, then you know that he has gone to the Skip Bayless School of Hot Takes.

Consequently, some of the things that McCoy says are quite questionable. Additionally, he can be downright disrespectful with some of his analyses. Overall, this has led to some viral clips that don’t exactly paint him in the best light.

Dak Prescott Roasted By LeSean McCoy

McCoy experienced this on Tuesday as he came through with his most viral take yet. This was during a segment on Dak Prescott and his recent loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Cowboys gave up a 17-point lead in this loss, and McCoy let Prescott have it.

In fact, McCoy was so disrespectful towards Dak that he ended up shocking some of the other panelists. “Dak is ass,” McCoy said. “Can I say that on TV? ‘Cause he is ass ass.” David Helman, one of the analysts at the table, could not believe what he was hearing. Consequently, fans took to the comments of the below Twitter post to sound off on what McCoy had to say.

Below, you can find some reactions where fans explain why McCoy is objectively wrong here. Overall, he probably doesn’t care about this criticism. He is bringing eyes to his show, and that is all FS1 cares about right now.

This is what sports talk television has become, and you can think Bayless for that. Whether or not you like it, is purely subjective.
