On Quincy Enunwa, Jets Head Coach Adam Gase Won't Fire Back: 'We'll Handle In-House'
New York Jets brass won’t talk openly about Quincy Enunwa’s Twitter rant on Thursday night where the wide receiver lashed out about recent fines levied by the organization for his missed treatments a week ago.
Enunwa took to social media on Thursday, unleashing several tweets directed at the organization over two fines the Jets hit him with. Enunwa, out for the year with a knee injury, missed two treatments at the team’s facility and was assessed a fine of $27,900 for the skipped rehab sessions.
It was another black eye for the Jets, who have endured a series of odd and unusual circumstances this year. One of Enunwa’s posts said that he had the support of several teammates over the fines, which he thought were excessive.
On Friday during his daily press conference, head coach Adam Gase was asked about Enunwa’s lashing out at the Jets over the fines.
“We’ll handle everything – everything like that we’ll handle in-house,” Gase said.
“We have a way we do things. That’s the way it is.”
Gase said he hasn’t seen Enunwa on Friday as of his morning press conference. He didn’t elaborate on if and how they will handle the situation.
This is a team that hasn’t won much this year but sure isn’t afraid of tweeting controversy on their timelines.
Two weeks ago, Jets linebacker Daryl Roberts went on his own Twitter rant directed at Jets fans. Following the team’s loss at the Miami Dolphins, Roberts called the team’s critical fanbase “fake a—” and told them to follow another NFL team.
The response from the head coach might not be exciting and grab headlines but it is Gase and the organization taking the high road after another player went public with gripes during a difficult 2-7 season for the Jets. Enunwa’s Twitter tactics is just the latest episode in this team’s strange soap opera of a season, something that Gase reiterated will remain internal and not be blasted out on the Jets end.
“No. We handle our stuff in-house,” Gase said.
“And some people choose to use social media. There’s probably a reason they’re doing it.”
