Jets WR Clowney said he was misunderstood by Coach Ryan

After being benched by Coach Rex Ryan for Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans, the New York Jets wide receiver David Clowney said Wednesday that there was a minor misunderstanding between him and the coach as Ryan did not see his entire comment on Twitter.

Shortly after the Jets winning over the New England Patriots in Week 2, Clowney posted a message on twitter, in response to a friend asking why he didn’t see him on the field much during the game. The message said: “1 play in the 1st Half, 4 plays in the 2nd half … A bit disappointed about my playing time but very happy and satisfied about the win.” It was followed by a subsequent tweet saying “My team always comes first so I’ma just keep grinding.” And Clowney said Ryan only saw the first half of the message.

However, Ryan said that the tweet message was just one of the reasons that caused him to make the decision of benching Clowney for last Sunday’s game. And Clowney, who has no catches this season in his No. 87 jets jersey, said he was informed by Ryan a few days before the game that he’d be inactive. He was not fined for his actions and still had no idea who sent his tweet message to Ryan.
