PHILADELPHIA — The Jets only can hope that linebacker Quincy Williams got his boneheaded moment of the season out of the way early. 

Williams hit Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts out of bounds on a third-down play in the first quarter Friday night that drew a penalty flag and the ire of Eagles coach Nick Sirianni. 

On third-and-5 at the Jets’ 35-yard-line, Hurts scrambled toward the Jets’ sideline. He clearly was out of bounds when Williams drilled him. Sirianni was incensed and walked onto the field almost to the numbers, screaming in the direction of the Jets sideline and head coach Robert Saleh. Hurts was not injured and continued the drive, which ended with him throwing a 22-yard touchdown to Dallas Goedert. 

Saleh was not happy with Williams and said he spoke to Sirianni after the game, a 24-21 Jets win, about the play. 

"Egregiously awful by Quincy,” Saleh said. "He knows that. He knows better. Those are the plays Quincy has to get out of his game if he wants to become the linebacker that we all think he can be.”

Good for Saleh. That sort of forthrightness is often lacking in coachspeak. 

I thought he should have been thrown out of the game and fined heavily, if the rules allow. Must admit I don't know if that's a possibility or not.

I seriously thought that Mailata was going to become the new Schultzy (hammer).

Jalen Hurts showed how much of a leader he is and how he handles situations in a level headed manner.  He just got up and got to the huddle.  It showed his toughness but also his priorities......it's the intangibles that are so hard to teach.
