Jermaine Johnson, the third of the Jets’ three first-round draft picks this season, is practicing power and patience.
The Jets likely will start Carl Lawson, Quinnen Williams, Sheldon Rankins and John Franklin-Myers along the line. Franklin-Myers’ versatility allows him to move from the edge to the interior in passing situations, making room for a situational rusher. For that first call to go to Johnson as often as veteran Jacob Martin, the rookie must broaden his repertoire of moves so that offensive tackles don’t sit on his speed.
Johnson flushed Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts out of the pocket on the first drive in his preseason debut, and he would have sacked Falcons rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder during a joint practice Saturday if plays weren’t being blown dead. He figures to draw a heavy workload in the game Monday night against the Falcons.“[When] you are going against the same guys day-in day-out everyone starts to get a good feel for one another,” Johnson said when asked about the value of joint practices.
“Making sure I’m even in all aspects of my game is something I pride myself in,” Johnson said. “Like my coach says, the most common ways to sack a quarterback in the league have been power and counter rushes, so getting good at that in my game can do nothing but help me.” “Both of them came in a little bit wide-eyed — not in a negative way, just in that I think they got 3-4 days in and realized all of this stuff is brand new,” defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton said. “Both figured out they have a lot to learn, and I’m seeing two guys hungry to do it right and grow in this scheme. It’s very different from what they did in college. There are so many fine details they have to learn to become instinctive with.
