The New York Jets address pre-snap penalties and pass protection concerns after their loss to the Denver Broncos.

Why it matters: The Jets' five false starts and overall penalty struggles have hindered their offensive efficiency and put them at a disadvantage in games.

What's new: Jets coach Robert Saleh clarified that altering Aaron Rodgers' cadence is not a potential solution, emphasizing that they will continue to push the envelope with their own cadence.

Yes, but: Penalties have been an ongoing issue for the Jets during Saleh's tenure as head coach, indicating a need for improvement in discipline and execution.

What to watch: The Jets face the blitz-heavy Minnesota Vikings in London on Sunday, which could test their pass protection and ability to avoid penalties.

What's next: Saleh and the coaching staff will work on addressing the penalty issues through accountability and improving communication among the players.

The bottom line: The Jets must find ways to reduce pre-snap penalties and improve pass protection to maximize their offensive potential and give rookie quarterback Zach Wilson a better chance to succeed.
