FLORHAM PARK Darnell Savage Jr. Jersey , N.J. (AP) — The tempo at New York Jets practice is in midseason form.So is the intensity on the field, with guys flying around from sideline to sideline. The volume of the coaches is up, too.It’s still only May, but there’s a noticeable — and audible — buzz around the new-look Jets.“That’s one thing I’ve been loving so much about this year so far is the competitiveness, and it starts with the coaches,” defensive end Leonard Williams said Wednesday. “Adam Gase is a crazy offensive coordinator and Gregg (Williams) is obviously a crazy D-coordinator. So, having those two go at it in practice, it kind of trickles down to the players, and the players go at it, too.“But it’s in a healthy way. Just a competition, getting better.”And, just to be clear http://www.packerscheapstore.com/elgton-jenkins-jersey-cheap , Leonard Williams wasn’t questioning his coaches’ sanity.“Yeah, when I say ‘crazy,'” he said, laughing, “it’s in a good way.”The combination of Gase as the head coach and mastermind of the offense, and Gregg Williams as the ‘mad scientist’ of the defense has been an intriguing storyline this offseason — particularly how the two would co-exist as they try to make their sides of the ball better than the other.“It’s fun to be out there,” Gase said. “There’s some juice in the air.”So far, the pace of practices during organized activities has been quicker than most at this time of year, when teams usually ease into their offseason programs before minicamp and then training camp.“I think it’s going to help a lot because we’re not waiting to compete,” Leonard Williams said. “We’re not waiting to get into pads, not waiting for the season to start, not waiting for like some big moment to get going. We’re trying to take it day by day — and it starts now.“I feel like that’s the mentality that’s running through the whole team and there’s a lot of fire in everybody right now.”Especially the men in charge.Gase Jace Sternberger Jersey , hired as coach of the Jets in January, had no qualms about bringing a strong-minded alpha-type leader such as Gregg Williams aboard to run the defense.Williams came with a reputation for being loud and, well, colorful with his language — and he hasn’t disappointed. The veteran defensive coordinator isn’t shy about letting his players know when they screw up. He also enjoys trying to frustrate quarterback Sam Darnold and the rest of the offense with blitzes from all angles.“I’m sure you guys have heard it from other dudes, but it’s just a lot more aggressive, like an attacking front,” defensive end Henry Anderson said. “It’s definitely a fun defense to play in.”Similarly, Gase has the offense working at a more rapid pace through the OTA practices than some players are used to. That not only has affected that side of the ball, but also the guys trying to defend against the Jets’ offense.Williams has his players focused on trying to get the ball away from the offense, whether that’s up front or way down the field on a long pass.“We’ll be flying downfield to get after the ball and we have to go right back to line up,” Leonard Williams said. “It’s helping us with conditioning and it’s helping us with everything, like when it comes down to third- or fourth-quarter and clutch situations when you have to push through when you’re tired and stuff like that. It’s great.”The whole vibe reminds Leonard Williams a lot of his college days at USC http://www.packerscheapstore.com/dexter-williams-jersey-cheap , where Ed Orgeron was his demanding defensive line coach.“He’s the best coach I’ve ever had in my life, I would say,” Williams said of Orgeron. “The reason why I say that is because he was so intense, it brought the best out of me. I’d be in meetings and hear his voice and I’d sit up straight. Or, he’d tell me something with so much intensity that I know how much passion he has behind it, and it makes me have the same type of passion and fire for it.“We’d just feed off of each other and I like that passion he has.”Just as he and the rest of the Jets are experiencing with the new coaching staff.“Me, personally, I’ve loved it because every day is a challenge,” Gase said of preparing for Gregg Williams’ defense. “You’re not really sure what you’re going to get.”NOTES: Gase said the Jets are being cautious with first-round pick DT Quinnen Williams, who has been sidelined with a calf issue. Williams participated in individual and positional drills Wednesday, but not in team drills. … Leonard Williams is entering a contract year, but said he isn’t focused on trying to get a new deal before the regular season begins. The 2015 first-rounder believes he could thrive in the Jets’ new defense for years to come. “I definitely would want to stay here Josh Allen Jersey ,” he said. “I feel like I’m a loyal type of player, like I never thought about transferring when I was in high school or college or anything like that. It’s kind of the same now. I’d like to stay on the team if I had the opportunity to.” Miami coach Brian Flores gave second-year quarterback Josh Rosen a shot against Tampa Bay‘s first defensive unit and liked what he saw.Rosen was a surprise starter and went 10 for 18 for 102 yards during the first half in the Dolphins’ 16-14 loss to the Buccaneers on Friday night.“I thought he played well, made some good decisions out there,” Flores said. “He was into the game. He was ready to go. I thought he did a good job in the huddle, getting the play calls in. I thought he played well from that standpoint.”Rosen, battling with 15-year veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick for the Dolphins’ starting job, helped Miami to a pair of field goals and a 6-3 halftime lead. He was sacked three times.“I would like to not see him take as many sacks,” Flores said. “But I thought he threw the ball well, had some drops. That didn’t help him.”Fitzpatrick, who spent the previous two seasons with Tampa Bay, entered to start the second half and completed 3 of 9 passes for 20 yards before being replaced by Jake Rudock five minutes into the fourth quarter.Fitzpatrick is expected to start next week’s game against Jacksonville.Tampa Bay rookie Matt Gay had two field goals, including a go-ahead 48-yarder with 6 seconds to play.Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston played one series for the second consecutive week http://www.jaguarscheapstore.com/jawaan-taylor-jersey-cheap , completing 2 of 4 passes for 24 yards. He is in the final year of his rookie contract at a salary of nearly $21 million.The Dolphins got within 13-12 on an 8-yard strike from Rudock to Patrick Laird with 34 seconds remaining in the fourth period. Rudock then put the Dolphins up 14-13 by hitting Trenton Irwin for the 2-point conversion.“Most teams, when you give up that touchdown and 2-point conversion, you go in the tank,” Bucs coach Bruce Arians said. “Offensive guys had a plan, they were ready to go. They went and won the game. Winning is fun in this league.”The Buccaneers had a no-pass-interference call overturned after a video review with 3:36 left in the fourth that led to a tiebreaking touchdown. After the penalty on Tyler Patmon for interfering Justin Watson put the ball on the Miami 4, Ryan Griffin connected with Tanner Hudson for a 13-6 lead on the next play.Arians opted to have his regulars play less than they might normally in a second preseason game because of the work done during joint practices with the Dolphins on Tuesday and Wednesday.Miami’s Jason Sanders made second-period field goals from 45 and 49 yards, the final one coming with 1 second remaining.Gay kicked a 32-yard field goal in the second quarter. Cairo Santos tied it at 6 with a 23-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter.GETTING THE “W”Arians got his first win with the Buccaneers. He’s back on the sideline after a year of retirement.FLAGFESTOne week after having 14 penalties for 112 yards at Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay had eight more for 81 yards Friday night. “A continuation of the dumbest penalties by our second and third group,” Arians said. “They’re lucky we don’t cut tomorrow.”The Dolphins lost 122 yards on 13 penalties.ROOKIE REPORTDolphins WR Preston Williams was targeted six times but made just one catch for 7 yards.
