FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- For the second time in four weeks, the winless New York Jets released a player who made a critical mistake on special teams.
Isaiah Williams , who lost a fumble on the second-half kickoff in Monday night's 27-21 loss to the Miami Dolphins , was waived Saturday, a source told ESPN.
It was another loud statement by first-year coach Aaron Glenn, who is trying to create a sense of accountability. After a Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers , the Jets cut kickoff returner Xavier Gipson , whose late fumble proved costly in the two-point loss.
In Williams' case, he also made a mental error -- an ill-advised fair catch at his own 3-yard line with the Jets trailing by 11 points in the fourth quarter.
"That was a big part of the game, and I let the team down,"
