“I think there’s is a lot we can learn from this weekend,” Jets associate coach Danny Vanderwiel said. “Four games over three days is always a grind, but I thought (the Jets Elite) did a good job managing it. We executed a lot of details that we have been working on the last few weeks, which is part of the benefit we have had with our schedule to start. It was a team effort all weekend we had everyone chipping in.
“Excited to get back to work this week and excited to get out to Chicago the next two weeks and continue the work.”
