Aaron Glenn’s Quarterback Decision
During a Wednesday press conference, Glenn revealed that he is confident in his choice for Sunday’s game. He substituted Justin Fields for Tyrod Taylor in the previous game against the Carolina Panthers, citing the need for a “competitive advantage” as his reason for maintaining silence on the decision.
Woody Johnson’s Comments and Support
Glenn’s remarks came after Jets owner Woody Johnson expressed concerns over the team’s performance, specifically highlighting Fields’ struggles. Johnson noted that completing passes is crucial for improvement, indicating a potential preference for Taylor as the starting quarterback.
- Glenn emphasized that the decision ultimately rests with him.
- He stated, “Woody puts that in my hand as far as who plays.”
- Glenn defended both himself and Johnson, saying there was no indication of dislike toward Fields.
