Notes/Quotes : Marcus Williams Steps Up
Jets Corner Handles Hot Corner After Antonio Cromartie's Injury; Bare Facts on Strip Sacks
Sunday's stage was hardly too big for Marcus Williamsicon-article-link.gif. After all, he started last year's final eight games and intercepted Tom Brady. Not too shabby for a rookie résumé.So it shouldn't have been surprising that Williams stepped in for the injured Antonio Cromartieicon-article-link.gif in the second quarter and supplied a third-quarter pick of Johnny Manziel to set up a touchdown and two more pass breakups, one by rocking the ball loose from Andrew Hawkins' grip early in the final frame.
Which did he like more, the pick or the blast ?
"I don't know, man. They both felt pretty good," he said. "But it's always good to get turnovers because it sets up plays and scores for the offense, it adds a lot of momentum and it gets the crowd into the game as well. So the interception felt pretty good."Head coach Todd Bowles has to feel good with the depth on his bench at the position. The medical news today was good that Cromartie is week to week with a sprained knee, but Bowles was far from ready to pencil the seemingingly indestructible Cro into the starting lineup for Andrew Luck and the Colts next Monday."They told me week-to-week, but I don't know what that means. Is it this week, next week?" the coach said at today's news conference. "I'm going to wait to see how he heals. Until I see him running, I don't have a timetable on him."
In the interim, Williams provided more positive feedback for Bowles to assess. Marcus, he said, "is a good corner. For a young player, he understands the game, he sees everything, he understands what's about to happen to him on the field, and he plays with a calmness that makes you feel good about him."The Jets coaches have flexibility should they need to give Cromartie time to rehab, because as Bowles noted, Williams and Buster Skrineicon-article-link.gif "both can do both," meaning play outside on the corner and inside in the slot.
Strip Stakes
The Jets finally zeroed in on Johnny Football, sacking Manziel three times in the fourth quarter. Two of those resulted in strip sacks, by Muhammad Wilkersonicon-article-link.gif (recovered by Darrelle Revisicon-article-link.gif), giving him 25.5 sacks for his career, and by Trevor Reillyicon-article-link.gif for his first pro sack (recovered by Quinton Coplesicon-article-link.gif).The last time the Jets recovered two strip sacks in a game was "Win and We're In," Game 16 of the 2009 season, when safeties Jim Leonhard and James Ihedigbo stripped Bengals backup J.T. O'Sullivan and Kerry Rhodes and Jamaal Westerman recovered. There were four more two-strip games between then and Sunday but none that turned the ball over twice.
