How good can Sauce Gardner be? Jets | TakeFlight
Rather than getting fazed by the tough play to open the game, the rookie learned from it, using his new knowledge of Allen’s mentality and tendencies to create an opportunity for himself. With the Jets giving the Bills a two-high safety look in zone defense on that play, Gardner’s assignment was the flat while the safety on his side gave him help over the top.
After getting his hands on Bills receiver Gabe Davis for a quick redirect on the deep route, the rookie sat for a brief moment as if he were staying in the flat to cover running back James Cook out of the backfield. But instead of letting Allen take the deep throw as he had on the first play of the game, Gardner switched direction rapidly, in the same moment the quarterback separated his hands to throw.
That’s a fantastic play to make by itself. With the added context of what had happened earlier in the game and the in-game adjustments Gardner made as a result, it becomes even more impressive and speaks to the rookie’s tremendous talent. Not only that, but a play like that to get the ball back for his offense after a brutal turnover just moments earlier really changed the tide of the game. The Jets scored on their ensuing possession to take the lead and never gave it back.
Gardner has been showing off why he deserved to be a top-five draft pick all season long, but his game against the Bills showed us just how high his ceiling might be. Despite getting burned on the first play from scrimmage, the rookie used it as a learning opportunity rather than getting down on himself or caught up in the moment.
