First play of that scrimmage, he does a terrific job with pre-snap communication, shoots his hole, 2-yard loss. It’s just about a lifeless drive from there. I assumed the protection was very exact and made it very exhausting on them. Give credit score to them.”

After we get to video games and we get to scrimmages and we get to intersquad practices and we get to preseason video games, I feel folks will see that he’s taken a step. Dissecting each play by him, play in and play out, particularly on this market, is a really, very tough factor to dwell as much as. … I feel he’s already taken these steps. I feel he’s gotten loads higher and I feel in due time persons are actually going to see it.”

“I’ve been tremendous happy with Mekhi and on high of it, it’s one, simply good to get him again on the market. Simply to have him on the soccer area,” LaFleur stated. “I imply he's, as I’ve stated so many occasions, he’s only a huge, huge human being, and if he can simply be on the market each single day like he has been and simply battling and battling like the entire different guys to get himself ready to play within the preseason. However clearly, in the end, to get him ready to play Baltimore [in the season opener]. It’s been good and it helps the Jets for positive that he’s on the market.”
