Anything that\u2019s going on, he lets us know first.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve had some incidents where players felt certain ways,\u201d Mosley continued, which can be read as a reference to when disgruntled wide receiver Elijah Moore requested a trade, \u201cand he talks to those players individually and he talks to leadership. He does a really good job of keeping everybody informed so there\u2019s no side talk going on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone knows exactly what the issue is, and everyone knows exactly what the solution to the issue is going to be. The way we handled it in the locker room, that doesn\u2019t allow it to get negative at all.

There were conversations had amongst the team. Preparation throughout the week was good. Everyone was locked in and looking forward to getting the bad taste out of our mouths from last week. It was a great week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Saleh] handled it well. The position he\u2019s in, the things he\u2019s had to face in his two years here with the ups and downs, he\u2019s handled things with class and grace.

Took care of their business. I thought our locker room did a great job and ignored all of the noise. The big thing we talk about is just focus on your individual moment. Just take care of your job. Do your job. Do your job to the best of your ability.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Saleh didn\u2019t account for any points on the scoreboard Sunday, but no one in the Jets organization did his job better than he did this week.\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.
