Woody Johnson Backs Aaron Glenn, Faults QB Play as Winless Jets Weigh Change

Reports indicate Aaron Glenn is moving toward starting Tyrod Taylor with a decision expected Wednesday.

Overview

  • The Jets are 0-7, the NFL’s only winless team, and Johnson pointed to the passing game, saying, “If we can just complete a pass, it would look good.”
  • Glenn benched Justin Fields at halftime of Sunday’s 13-6 loss to the Panthers, and Tyrod Taylor threw two interceptions in relief.
  • Johnson said the quarterback choice is completely up to the coach and reaffirmed confidence in Glenn’s leadership despite the start.
  • ESPN and other outlets report Glenn is leaning toward Taylor after Fields’ recent struggles, including a minus-10 net passing-yard game in Week 6 and a multi-game touchdown drought.
  • Glenn said he will seek input from other coaches before finalizing the decision as the offense ranks last in passing and has produced seven touchdowns over the past six games.
