“#Jets not giving up hope for Chris Herndon breakthrough<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Chris Herndon is a man searching for answers right now.<\/p>\n

The Jets\u2019 third-year tight end entered this season with big expectations. Instead, he has been plagued by drops and had a critical fumble. He has 13 catches for 98 yards and has not scored a touchdown yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou think you\u2019re locked in and whatnot, and you watch film and see the simple mistakes that you made,\u201d Herndon said. \u201cA lot of it is just self-inflicted. So, for me, personally, I need to lock in some more on details. You know, every detail and every assignment, just go out there and play free.\u201d<\/p>\n

Herndon has not been able to do that yet. The Jets started Ryan Griffin over Herndon last week, but Herndon still played a lot (42 percent of the snaps) against the Cardinals. He had another bad drop, something that keeps happ<\/a>ening.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook the ball in first, tuck it and get north after that,\u201d Herndon said of the potential touchdown against Arizona. \u201cIt\u2019s just another instance of where I need to focus in and try not to make the big play before I make the play. First, I\u2019ve got to catch the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n

Head coach Adam Gase had a long sit-down with Herndon this week, trying to ease his mind and rebuild his confidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had a lot of discussions with him about playing it one play at a time, and whatever happens on the previous play \u2014 whether it\u2019s good or bad \u2014 just move on to the next one,\u201d Gase said. \u201cWe just keep trying to get him in the mode of playing as fast as he possibly can play. Not overthinking, not worrying about what the end result\u2019s going to be.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust play fast, run fast and do what you\u2019ve done and what we\u2019ve seen him do in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n
