It was apparent,\u201d Adams said Wednesday. \u201cI\u2019ve played on teams that have that winning culture. Basically, I took a moment to let them know. I had reservations about speaking up too early and being too vocal too early, but in my mind I said, \u2018F that\u2019 because we don\u2019t have time. I\u2019ve got to do whatever I\u2019ve got to do to help this team move forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t have been able to sleep if I didn\u2019t speak up on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers said the speech from Adams was well received by the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought it was the realest speech I\u2019ve ever heard in a locker room in 20 years,\u201d Rodgers said.<\/p>\n<p>It would be interesting to know what Jets players who have been on the team for a while thought about a player who just arrived telling them about the team\u2019s culture. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jets vs. Steelers Postgame Live Show | Reaction to Aaron Rodgers &amp; Jets getting blown out\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8kKCPQraJns?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>But Adams said he was surprised at what he saw in the game against the Steelers. <\/p>\n<p>He cited how the sideline looked dead after Breece Hall\u2019s 57-yard reception.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of these guys in here haven\u2019t been anywhere else where they\u2019ve won and have had that urgency that it takes in order to be a good team,\u201d Adams said. \u201cThis team being so talented roster-wise, it\u2019s just a waste to have everybody out there and to have a dead sideline like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adams only had three catches for 30 yards in the loss, <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/10\/20\/sports\/jets-trounced-by-steelers-in-primetime-as-season-spirals-into-disaster\/\">a disappointing start to his Jets career<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>But Adams said he does not see his role as only producing on the field for the Jets but also changing the organization.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Jets wide receiver Davante Adams (17) eludes Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. (24) on a pass during the first quarter at Acrisure Stadium. <span class=\"credit\">Barry Reeger-Imagn Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not here to be the savior,\u201d Adams said. \u201cThe whole world \u2026 [Donald] Trump was at the game. I\u2019m not sure if that was because of me or not. Everybody is sitting here expecting it to be me go out there and put up 200 yards and three [touchdowns]. That\u2019s a storybook ending. Obviously, that would have been amazing if that happened. I\u2019m here to help shift this culture more than anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adams said he received positive feedback from everyone in the locker room, including the \u201cowner,\u201d presumably that was Woody Johnson, although Christopher Johnson was also in the room.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single__inline-module inline-module inline-module--newsletter aligncenter aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-newsletter\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__inner\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__title-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__unsubmitted-title-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"inline-module__title headline headline--combo-sm-md\">\n\t\t\t\t\tGet the insider&#8217;s view on Gang Green\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n<p class=\"inline-module__cta\">\n\t\t\t\t\tSign up for Inside the Jets by Brian Costello, a weekly Sports+ exclusive.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"inline-module__title headline headline--combo-sm-md\">\n\t\t\t\t\tThank you\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The fact that Adams had to be the one to speak up could point to a leadership void on the team prior to his arrival.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could see it in everybody\u2019s eyes that it was something that they had never heard or been exposed to,\u201d Adams said. \u201cThat\u2019s part of the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Davante Adams spoke up about culture issues he saw with the Jets. <span class=\"credit\">Bill Kostroun\/New York Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Adams has played for the Packers and the Raiders, two franchises with proud histories. <\/p>\n<p>But the Raiders have not had much success in recent years either. <\/p>\n<p>Still, Adams said the Raiders players supported each other even at the end of losses, something he did not see from the Jets.<\/p>\n<p>A reporter asked Adams who is to blame for the Jets culture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s on everybody,\u201d Adams said. \u201cAnytime an organization is on a losing streak or a losing organization for the ones that are \u2026 I\u2019m not going to call any organization that I\u2019m a part of a losing organization but obviously there\u2019s been some of that in the past in recent years around here and it\u2019s a little bit of everything, obviously personnel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I\u2019d say with this team it\u2019s more just learning how to win and what it takes, the small things that necessarily don\u2019t have to come from the owner or the general manager. This is something you can solve within the team if you have the right people in here, guys that know how to win. It\u2019s not just about having good players because we have that.
