Jets Coach Rex Ryan Wants LB Vernon Gholston To Be Aggressive
had his moments against the Houston Texans in his first NFL start on Sunday, Jets coach Rex Ryan said he wants the former sixth pick overall to develop more of a mean streak.
Gholston, starting in place of the suspended Calvin Pace, was credited with three tackles (one for a loss) and put pressure on the quarterback. He has clearly taken a quantum leap from last season.
”It was up and down,” said Ryan of Gholston’s performance. ”He played well at times.
He helped cause a number of hits on the quarterback. He took two guys with him occasionally and then was able to push the pocket a little bit.
”Again, there were other times where I would’ve liked to see him jump on a pile — not necessarily a pile, but before a guy goes down go at him. Get you a piece of him.
“That’s something that I think he’ll understand. That’s what we want. We want to have some gang tackling and just swarming piles.”
