Aaron Glenn’s time as the New York Jets head coach has hit a new low.  Glenn’s Jets fell to the previously winless Miami Dolphins in 28 -25 home loss. https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/75985300/download.mp3 Ten things you need to know: 1) Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis had thrown just two touchdown passes all season.  He matched that total today against the Jets with two more. 2) The loss now makes Aaron Glenn 0-8 against the AFC East since taking over as the Jets head coach last season. 3) Prior to today’s game, the Dolphins had four sacks on the season with all of them coming in the same game.  They managed to pick up two more today against the Jets. 4) Aaron Glenn gave a baffling answer when asked why he saved all of his first half timeouts rather than stopping the clock to allow the Jets time to score.  “We thought we were going to get a stop” said Glenn.  That’s exactly why a head coach should want to stop the clock, no? 5) Garrett Wilson and tight end Kenyon Sadiq combined for 34 yards on three catches.  Since his 100 yard game against the Lions last month, Sadiq has managed just four catches for 21 yards. 6) Rookie edge rusher David Bailey was credited with another half sack, bringing his total for the year to 5.5. 7) Fellow rookie Omar Cooper Jr. had himself another great day at the office, pulling in 5 catches for 115 yards and a touchdown. 8) Braelon Allen also chipped in with another big day, carrying the ball 17 times for 104 yards; an average of 6.1 yards per carry. 9) By failing to intercept a pass, Aaron Glenn’s defenses now have just one interception in 24 games.  Unfathomable. 10) Preseason fan favorite Nate Lynn was on the field for just three defensive snaps and made his presence felt by picking up a sack.The post Aaron Glenn era Hits new Low as Jets Fall to Lowly Dolphins appeared first on JetNation.com - New York Jets Blog & Forum.

For the New York Jets and their fans, the 2026 season was really supposed to be about three things. 1: Developing their young talent to work with their QB of the future. 2: Determining whether or not Aaron Glenn was the right head coach to develop their QB of the future. 3: Be in position to draft…their QB of the future. But now three major developments could make that third, and most important goal, far more difficult than the team had envisioned just a few months ago. First and foremost, potential changes to what was supposed to be an absolutely loaded draft class at quarterback has some serious question marks.  Secondly, there may be a team or two who could be  in worse shape than the Jets who are in need of a quarterback, and a much weaker schedule than anticipated that could see the Jets picking too low to land the QB of their choice. Prior to the start of the season, it was assumed that Texas quarterback Arch Manning and Oregon’s Dante Moore would be in a dog fight to be the first quarterback selected.  Instead, Manning is being pushed by his head coach due to poor performance while Moore has missed much of the season due to a concussion.  And if we’re being honest, he wasn’t exactly setting the world on fire prior to the concussion. Now instead of Manning or Moore, Oregon State’s Drew Mestemaker is generating buzz as the likely top pick in the draft, while Trinidad Chambliss of Ole’ Miss is producing like a top pick, his height (likely around 6′) and age (24) remain concerns for some. Outside of that group there’s Miami’s Darien Mensah, Notre Dame’s CJ Carr and another new name thrown in the hat this season, Austin Simmons of Missouri. Of those seven top names, only Chambliss and Moore must come out after this season.  The other five have eligibility left and most have good reason to return to school.  Should this become a situation where only two or three QB’s worthy of a top ten pick are available, the Jets could be on the outside looking in. The Dolphins and Cardinals are both in dire need of a quarterback and both should end up picking ahead of the Jets.  Having just found out QB Jalen Hurts will miss the remainder of this season, the Eagles could also land in the top ten with a HUGE question mark in Hurts, while the Titans are another QB needy team that’s likely to be in the top five. So you do the math.  Two or three franchise quarterbacks and the likelihood of having four teams ahead of you in need of QB does not bode well for Darren Mougey and company.  And before you say the Jets can “just trade up” because they have three first round picks, who’s to say a QB needy team will be willing to move down?  And if you can’t land a guy who you believe is a legitimate franchise quarterback, is it worth parting with multiple first-round picks? Of course the Jets do own the Colts’ first round pick, is it realistic to expect them to finish with a worse record than the Dolphins, Chargers and Titans?  Not impossible, but also unikley. There’s still lots of football left to be played in college and the pros, but with the way things are trending with the Jets, that “lock” to get a franchise QB in the 2027 draft doesn’t feel quite as automatic as it did just a few weeks ago.      The post Time for Jets Fans to Have Difficult QB Conversation appeared first on JetNation.com - New York Jets Blog & Forum.

https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/75852304/download.mp3 If Aaron Glenn’s superpower is calling the defensive plays, it would appear his kryptonite is facing a team with a decent starting quarterback who may not even require an offensive line.  That was certainly the case today against the Patriots as Drake Maye threw three TD passes while his backup O-line bullied the Jets in the fourth quarter. Key takeaways? – With the Jets needing a stop late in the game and the Patriots missing three of their starters up front, it made no difference to the Pats.  New England ran the ball eight consecutive times for 44 yards before icing the game with a field goal. – It was a breakout game for rookie receiver Omar Cooper Jr. who returned to the lineup.  He would finish with six catches for 103 yards and a touchdown. – Braelon Allen had a third consecutive strong effort in carrying the ball 17 times for 78 yards, averaging 4.6 per carry. – Olu Fashanu surrendered his sixth sack of the season.  That’s the most sacks allowed by any player so far this season. – David Bailey didn’t register a sack after picking up three last week, but he did manage to force a pair of fumbles.  Jamien Sherwood would force one later on that was also picked up by the Jets. – The Patriots had several key plays through the air on which Hunter Henry was left uncovered.  Asked about it after the game, Glenn said the team just needs to get on the same page on defense. – Glenn was also critical of his offense, saying they’re not finishing the way they should.  He says it will be a point of emphasis in practice to get the situation fixed. – Garrett Wilson was inexplicably a forgotten man once again.  He finished the game with just 4 catches and had only 2 through the first three quarters. – And just as ridiculous as Wilson’a lack of targets was Kenyon Sadiq finishing with just one reception for 12 yards, giving him 3 catches for 15 yards since his 100 yard performance against the Lions.  The post Jets Fall to 2-4 as Patriots O-Line Bullies Glenn’s Defense in 4th Quarter appeared first on JetNation.com - New York Jets Blog & Forum.

https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/75815859/download.mp3 How quickly things can change in the NFL.  Just a couple of weeks ago fans were calling Drake Maye’s 2025 season a fluke that came as the result of playing a last place schedule.  In the two weeks since, Maye has caught fire, throwing 7 touchdowns to just one interception.  Now the Jets come to town with a defense that just logged eight sacks against the Cleveland Browns. What should we be looking for? – David Bailey finally showed what he can do in picking up three sacks in a variety of ways off the edge.  If Bailey can become a consistent force off the edge, he makes the entire defense better and makes life hard for Maye. – The Jets nickel corners will be big in this one as DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism have been major factors of late.  Douglas is far more established as a guy who can give you fits underneath, but Chism has impressed after joining the Pats as an undrafted free agent.  Expect Jarvis Brownlee and Deangelo Ponds to be busy. – Will McDonald will team with Bailey off the edge and should challenge Patriots right tackle Will Campbell.  He looks to be trending toward playing, but he’s been nursing a knee injury this week.  If he’s even a half a step slower with the bad knee, the Jets can cause problems with Bailey, McDonald and Kingsley Enagbare when he’s head up against Campbell. – Wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. is expected to make his return after missing all but a few snaps in week 1 this season.  Giving Geno Smith a second option to go along with Garrett Wilson could do wonders for the offense. – Will we get another look at Kenyon Sadiq?  Following his breakout performance against the Lions in which he went over 100 yards and scored a touchdown, tight end Kenyon Sadiq has 2 catches for 3 yards in the two games since.  This has to stop.  Get the kid the football. Prediction: It’s difficult to envision the Jets going on the road and beating a hot Patriots team.  They have a shot at a win if Cooper and Sadiq get involved in the offense, but until we see the Jets try to get them involved, we’re picking the Pats to win it 27-20.The post Jets Defense Getting Ready for Rejuvenated Drake Maye and Patriots appeared first on JetNation.com - New York Jets Blog & Forum.

https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/75703864/download.mp3 Welcome to the NFL David Bailey.  With many fans asking when the Jets number two overall pick would “arrive”, we have our answer.  It was today against the Cleveland Browns.  In a big way. The rookie led a ferocious Jets pass rush as he picked up three of Gang Green’s eight sacks to go along with six tackles, nine hurries while drawing a pair of holding calls.  After the game Bailey said that he doesn’t spend any time on social media so only focuses on what his coaches and teammates tell him. What else do you need to know? – Also picking up sacks were Will McDonald, Jowon Briggs, Darell Jackson, Dane Belton and Jamien Sherwood. – Garrett Wilson had three catches for 70 yards and a 32-yard touchdown on the opening drive, finishing the day with 104 yards. – Braelon Allen had a career-long 22-yard touchdown run and topped 100 yards for the first time in his career, carrying the ball 24 times for 116 yards. – Rookie defensive tackle picked up a pair of batted passes at the line of scrimmage along with a sack several tackles around the line of scrimmage. – A bounce back day for Jamien Sherwood who has been beaten badly in coverage of late.  Browns running backs were non-factors in the passing game. – Joe Tippmann was beaten badly in pass pro on several plays, giving up multiple sacks, but did a stellar job in the run game, contributing greatly to Allen’s big day. – Another excellent game from safety Dane Belton who led the team with eight tackles to go along with his sack. – Kenyon Sadiq was a non-factor all day, finishing with 2 catches for 3 yards.  More importantly however, is that he’s in concussion protocol following a big hit on his second catch, meaning he’s unlikely to play next week.        The post David Bailey Dominant as Jets Defense Shuts Down Browns in Win appeared first on JetNation.com - New York Jets Blog & Forum.
