Coach Saleh spoke with reporters and talked about Flacco's experience against heavy blitz defenses like Miami's and that he feels comfortable going with the 36-year-old veteran. The Jets traded a sixth round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for Joe Flacco weeks ago after rookie QB Zach Wilson suffered an injury.
