Week 12 preview vs Ravens

As the New York Jets gear up to face the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday, edge rusher Jermaine Johnson is approaching the matchup with intensity — and a little self-imposed discipline. “He’s actually my first NFL career sack,” Johnson said, recalling the first time he brought down Ravens’ QB Lamar Jackson. “So it’s super cool, and I’m looking forward to getting one or two more Sunday against him.”

To sharpen his edge, Johnson revealed he’s “been doing extra running and staying off sugary drinks … getting ready for him.”

He added with a laugh, “It’s more of a personal thing … I just want to shed off any kind of weight … so that I can turn those hurries … into sacks.”

Johnson hasn’t just been working physically — he’s also studying the game. He’s looked to Myles Garrett for inspiration, calling him “very generational” after watching him dominate Jackson in recent tape.

When it comes to strategy, Johnson keeps it simple but resolute: “You’ve just got to stay active, high motor, keep going … he’s very dynamic … but … I have all the confidence … to get the job done.”
