New York Jets coach explains why he\u2019s using running backs \u201clike Pokemon\u201d New York Jets\/NintendoAn NFL coach for the New York Jets explained why he\u2019s rotating his running backs on the team as if they were Pokemon and he was their trainer. The NFL season is just around the corner and with it comes the chance for all 32 teams to make it to the playoffs, and ultimately, win a Superbowl championship. With preseason just kicking off, and Madden 23\u2018s release fast approaching, the New York Jets have begun their offseason which has commenced the battle for the starting running back spot. With so many players fighting for carries, the Jets\u2019 running backs coached compared rotating the backs in and out like being a Pokemon trainer. NY Jets coach claims he\u2019s just like a Pokemon trainer On August 17, Jets RB coach Taylor Embree had a perfect metaphor for managing the team\u2019s running back depth. The AFC team has built depth at the position, and had been looking to see who will emerge from the bunch as the strongest. He said, \u201cI was describing it to my wife: I feel like it\u2019s Pokemon and you\u2019re just sending out your next Pokemon.\u201d Embree compared the squad\u2019s halfbacks Breece Hall, Michael Carter, and Tevin Coleman to having a squad of Pokemon at his arsenal, each with different power levels and attributes. As for exactly which of the three Pokemon the Jets players parallel the most, Embree didn\u2019t clarify. One Jet fan in the replies to the tweet had their theories, \u201cHall is Charmander, Carter is Squirtle, and everyone else is Bulbasaur because no one cares.\u201d With the Jets coming off a poor performance in 2021 winning just four games, they\u2019ll need to feed Breece Hall and Micahel Carter as many rare candies as they can find in order to level up quickly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
