Justin Fields said the Jets owner’s criticisms were “outside noise” and that the key focus should be on his teammates and coaches supporting him, not on public comments from Woody Johnson. He also indicated that talking with Johnson wouldn’t directly improve his performance or confidence, and he didn’t expect any conversation to clear the air.
Context and quick recap
- Woody Johnson publicly criticized Fields amid a rough start for the Jets, suggesting it would “look good” if the team could complete a pass, which drew widespread attention.
- Fields’ response consistently framed the comments as noise unrelated to on-field preparation or team chemistry, emphasizing belief from his teammates and coaches as the driving factor in improvement.
- Subsequent reporting noted Fields choosing not to engage further with Johnson on the matter, underscoring a focus on performance and internal support rather than public disputes.
