Whereas most anticipate the New York Jets will begin quarterback Justin Fields over backup Tyrod Taylor coming off their bye, first-year Jets head coach Aaron Glenn declined to verify any information in regards to the scenario forward of the membership’s break.
Understandably, Glenn was requested throughout his Monday media availability in regards to the Jets’ depth chart forward of their residence recreation versus the Cleveland Browns (2-6) on Nov. 9.
Aaron Glenn holding quarterback plans “near the vest”
“You realize I’m not going to present you that reply,” Glenn mentioned, as shared by Myles Simmons of Professional Soccer Speak. “I’m going to maintain that near the vest.”
Taylor seemingly was on monitor to begin the Jets’ recreation on the Cincinnati Bengals on Oct. 26 earlier than he was dominated out of that contest as a result of a bone bruise in his knee. Fields then accomplished 21-of-32 passes for 244 yards and a landing versus a dangerous Bengals protection en path to serving to the Jets earn a 39-38 win that improved them to 1-7 on the season. Regardless of that consequence, the Jets may develop into sellers forward of the NFL commerce deadline, which can arrive at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
“It helps the quarterback’s confidence when the participant and the coach discuss and so they know who the man is,” Glenn mentioned about not revealing the identification of his QB1 to outsiders on Monday. “It’s not that I’m telling it to you guys. That has nothing to do with the participant’s confidence.”
Do Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor know who’s beginning vs. Browns?
Shortly after Glenn spoke with reporters, ESPN BET had the Jets as 2.5-point favorites over the Browns. It seems like these contained in the Jets locker room might already know who can be within the lineup for the Week 10 matchup at MetLife Stadium.
“That can be between me and the participant,” Glenn added about who will begin in opposition to Cleveland. “I don’t perceive why you guys maintain doing it. It’s actually getting hilarious, too, since you guys maintain asking the identical query and I maintain giving you a similar reply.”
It appears as if reporters should get used to Glenn embracing his inside Nick Saban for a minimum of the following handful of days.
