In a recent press conference, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn stated he will not disclose who the starting quarterback will be for the team’s upcoming game against the Patriots. This marks the third consecutive week that Glenn has avoided identifying his starting quarterback, sparking curiosity among reporters and fans.
Aaron Glenn’s Stance on Quarterback Selection
During the press conference, Glenn emphasized, “Please don’t ask me anything about the quarterbacks.” His firm stance suggests that the decision between Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor remains confidential. This approach aims to prevent distractions while preparing for Thursday night’s matchup.
Performance Recap of Justin Fields
Justin Fields, who started the last two games, helped the Jets secure their first victories of the season. In the latest win against the Browns, Fields completed 6 of 11 passes for 54 yards. Notably, 42 of those yards came from a pass to running back Breece Hall, who scored a touchdown after a significant gain.
- Completion: 6 of 11
- Total yards: 54
- Key pass: 42 yards, resulting in a touchdown
Special Teams Contribution
The Jets also benefited from strong special teams performance, scoring two touchdowns that limited the number of offensive plays and passing opportunities for Fields. Although Fields threw his first interception of the season, Glenn defended the play, stating it came during an attempt to make a significant downfield throw to Garrett Wilson.
Looking Ahead
As the Jets prepare for the Patriots, it remains imperative to monitor who will be named starting quarterback. Glenn acknowledged that despite some setbacks, he observed positive developments in Fields’ performance. However, further confirmation of who will lead the team on Thursday is still pending.
