On one hand, Bless Austin can quickly forget a bad play. That's the mentality the Jets' second-year cornerback has always had on the football field.
But on the other hand, Austin is smart enough to realize he has to learn from the mistakes he made as a rookie. The Queens native wants to ensure his miscues are far less frequent as he prepares for Year 2 with Gang Green.
Specifically, the Rutgers product remembers one crucial play late in the first half of a Week 16 game against Pittsburgh. Austin got beat by Diontae Johnson for a 29-yard touchdown pass with four seconds left before halftime that helped the Steelers tie the score at 10. Austin was benched for the rest of the game as well as the team's season finale the following week at Buffalo.
