Jets Coach Glenn's Defensive Grip Loosens?
14 Nov
Summary
- Coach Glenn may change who calls defensive plays against Buffalo.
- The Jets defense struggles, ranking seventh-worst against the run.
- The team is on a four-game losing streak, allowing 32 points per game.
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn is contemplating a shift in defensive play-calling responsibilities for the upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills. Glenn, who has called the defense all season, confirmed on Friday, November 13, that he is evaluating all options to secure a win amid a challenging four-game losing streak.
The team's defensive performance has been a major concern, highlighted by statistics that include ranking seventh-worst against the run (128.0 yards per game) and having only one interception, the lowest in the league. This defensive lapse has contributed to the team allowing an average of 32 points during their recent skid.
While Glenn expressed he is not necessarily giving up play-calling duties, he left the door open for potential changes, including a shared setup. The article notes that Brian Duker holds the defensive coordinator title but has no prior experience as a coordinator, making him an untested option should Glenn delegate play-calling duties. Sunday's game will be a critical indicator of whether adjustments are made to the coaching strategy or merely the personnel making the calls.
