Wilson did not do anything spectacular, but he also did not fall on his face in the 12-7 Jets win. Wilson showed poise and made good decisions, completing 6-of-9 passing for 63 yards in two <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of action.<\/p>\n<p>The No. 2-overall pick out of BYU looked more self-assured and confident than he did a week earlier at MetLife when the Jets held their Green &amp; White scrimmage. He threw two interceptions in that glorified practice, and that created some angst among a segment of Jets fans who have been waiting for an answer at quarterback for most of the past four decades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have so much confidence in the young man,\u201d coach Robert Saleh said. \u201cYou want him to stack up as many good days as possible but there\u2019s still youth. He\u2019s still a rookie. There\u2019s still a lot of things that he\u2019s going to learn from. There\u2019s still a lot of opportunities for him to grow.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"738\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Zach-Wilson-3.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Zach Wilson\" class=\"wp-image-19135755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Zach-Wilson-3.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Zach-Wilson-3.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Zach-Wilson-3.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Zach Wilson<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Bill Kostroun<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThis young man\u2019s potential is through the roof but it\u2019s going to be a process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, Wilson\u2019s first drive was efficient. He completed two passes to Corey Davis for 18 yards on a 12-play, 52-yard drive that ended with a 30-yard field goal from Chris Naggar. His most impressive throw came on the next drive, a third-and-9 strike from his own 20 to Keelan Cole for 16 yards.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest takeaway from Wilson\u2019s night is the game did not look too big for him. He did not show any signs of nerves in his first game under the lights. He never looked like he was unsure of where to go with the ball or fazed by the Giants rush. It should be pointed out that the Giants played their backups on defense, so while Wilson passed this first test, it will get much tougher from here.<\/p>\n<p>But Wilson looks like he is settling in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s getting more comfortable with everything,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cThe offense is all installed at this point, to an extent. Now, it\u2019s just repetition. It\u2019s like, \u2018How much can I keep working on the same exact plays,\u2019 and now I\u2019m getting every single different look in practice, and now coming out here it\u2019s great for all of us. We\u2019re starting to settle in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was not just Wilson\u2019s debut with the Jets. Saleh was also on the sideline for the first time as a head coach. Decisions in preseason do not come with the pressure or microscope that they do when the games count, so it is hard to evaluate anything Saleh did. He went for it on fourth-and-1 early in the second quarter, always a popular decision in the preseason, but Ty Johnson was stuffed on the run for a loss of a yard. Saleh also won a challenge in the third quarter.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"743\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Robert-Saleh-4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Robert Saleh\" class=\"wp-image-19135757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Robert-Saleh-4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Robert-Saleh-4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Robert-Saleh-4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Robert Saleh<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The starting defense got off to a good start against a Giants offense that did not have starting quarterback Daniel Jones and other starting skill players, but did have starters on the offensive line. The Jets held the Giants to a three-and-out on their first series. Sheldon Rankins got nice pressure on quarterback Mike Glennon on second down and Bryce Huff sacked him on third down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are sleeping on the Jets,\u201d linebacker C.J. Mosley, who batted away a Glennon pass, said. \u201cIf people come with that same mentality, they\u2019re going to get their ass blown out. That\u2019s 100 percent, no matter if we\u2019re at MetLife or anywhere else. They think there\u2019s anything old about this Jets team, it\u2019s not going to end well for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though the focus was on Wilson when the starting offense was on the field, the running game was impressive. The starting offensive line, which was without left guard Alijah Vera-Tucker, opened up some big holes. Johnson had 33 yards on nine carries. Rookie Michael Carter had 22 yards on seven carries. Tevin Coleman did not play in the game.<\/p>\n<p>The Jets now move on to Green Bay after one more practice in Florham Park on Monday. They will have joint practices with the Packers on Wednesday and Thursday in Wisconsin before playing a preseason game next Saturday.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
