The New York Jets are in total disarray and it just gets worse as quarterback Geno Smith missed a team meeting Saturday night after a mix up with the time difference in California.
According to a report by ESPN, Smith and a few teammates missed a meeting Saturday night because they went to see a movie. The group of Jets missed the meeting due to the fact that coach Rex Ryan has his team on an Eastern Standard Time clock even when they are on the west coast and the players ‘got messed up.’

“The Jets confirmed ESPN.com's reporting that said Smith was late because he got confused by the time difference. Coach Rex Ryan always keeps the team on Eastern time for West Coast trips, but Smith was thrown off because he saw the time on his cellphone, which showed Pacific time, a source said. The mix-up happens to a player on every West Coast trip, another source said.”
This was Smith’s first missed meeting of his career and it didn't impact coach Ryan’s decision to start the second-year quarterback on Sunday. Smith was removed from the game against the Chargers due to the fact that they were getting demolished at all aspects of the game. Michael Vick replaced Smith and didn't look any better as the Jets suffered the NFL’s first shutout since Week 16 last year.
