Whereas most count on 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 substantiate any information in regards to the state of affairs 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 house sport versus the Cleveland Browns (2-6) on Nov. 9.
Aaron Glenn retaining quarterback plans “near the vest”
“You already know I’m not going to offer you that reply,” Glenn stated, as shared by Myles Simmons of Professional Soccer Speak. “I’m going to maintain that near the vest.”
Taylor seemingly was on monitor to start out the Jets’ sport on the Cincinnati Bengals on Oct. 26 earlier than he was dominated out of that contest resulting from a bone bruise in his knee. Fields then accomplished 21-of-32 passes for 244 yards and a landing versus a bad 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 outcome, the Jets may become 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 speak and so they know who the man is,” Glenn stated about not revealing the id 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 will probably be within the lineup for the Week 10 matchup at MetLife Stadium.
“That will probably be between me and the participant,” Glenn added about who will begin in opposition to Cleveland. “I don’t perceive why you guys preserve doing it. It’s actually getting hilarious, too, since you guys preserve asking the identical query and I preserve giving you an identical reply.”
It appears as if reporters must get used to Glenn embracing his inner Nick Saban for not less than the subsequent handful of days.
