"I didn’t like the way we competed and challenged on the outside," Ryan said. "When we call on (Milliner), I want him to get up there. Let’s go. Let’s play." The Jets had the indignity of getting carved up by Blaine Gabbert. It's just a reminder that cornerback is one of the most difficult positions for a rookie to learn, and that Milliner's play might not light up the world early in the season.

Coach Rex Ryan benched first-round CB Dee Milliner for the second half of Thursday night's game against the Patriots.
"You can’t afford mental mistakes against [Tom] Brady," Ryan said. "This young man's gonna be a great player. But I went with the veteran." Milliner let Kenbrell Thompkins slip behind him for what would have been a long touchdown before halftime had Thompkins held onto the ball. Milliner played just 38-of-66 snaps after playing all 67 snaps in the opener. He's going to experience growing pains.

The Jets benched rookie CB Dee Milliner for the second time this season in Sunday's Week 8 loss to Cincinnati.
Miller was benched in the second quarter after giving up a ton of catches to Marvin Jones, among others. Even before Sunday's loss, Pro Football Focus had graded Milliner very negatively in pass coverage. Rookie cornerbacks often struggle, but not quite as badly as Milliner has through five appearances. The Jets have repeatedly deemed former UDFA Darrin Walls a better option. Sun, Oct 27, 2013 09:44:00 PM

Dee Milliner was again benched in Sunday's Week 13 loss to the Dolphins.
It's the third time this season that the No. 9 overall pick has been benched in favor of former UDFA Darrin Walls. This time, it came after Milliner allowed Mike Wallace to get past him for a 28-yard touchdown in the third quarter. The Jets' No. 26 secondary faces the Raiders in Week 14 and Panthers in Week 15.
