Jets Practice Report | Robert Saleh Gearing Up for Joint Practices with Falcons

The next time the Jets take the practice field they’ll be seeing red (and black).

The Jets and the Falcons will have joint sessions Friday and Saturday at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center before their preseason game Monday night. Intensity typically rises in joint practices and although the Jets have had a number of intrasquad scuffles throughout camp, head coach Robert Saleh isn’t concerned about his team.

“It’s usually the second day, but it doesn’t change,” Saleh said. “We treat them like we treat ourselves. Protect the team, all the same rules of keeping guys off the ground, no swinging, no pulling, no holding. Play clean, play fast, maintain our style of play. You treat them like you treat your own teammate and making sure you get something out of these practices.”

For the work on the field, the practice scripts will be situation-heavy.

“We’ll hit red zone, two-minute, first down and second down, third down,” Saleh said. “We’ll have special teams. It’s very similar. It’ just going against them.”
