3 Apr
Summary
- Jets' defense aims for improvement after a scoreless interception season.
- Coach Aaron Glenn will now call defensive plays for the team.
- Minkah Fitzpatrick and Demario Davis join the revamped defensive unit.
The New York Jets are implementing major changes to their defensive operations after a challenging 2025 season where they recorded zero interceptions. Head coach Aaron Glenn is taking over play-calling duties for the defense.
The defensive unit has seen significant personnel additions, including safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, linebacker Demario Davis, and cornerback Nahshon Wright. Glenn expressed his intention to deploy these players in diverse roles, emphasizing adaptability in their formations.
"You will see some four-down fronts, you will see some five-down fronts and you will see a lot of movement within that," Glenn stated. He aims for a flexible defense that can adapt to various situations.
Further bolstering the defense, the Jets are expected to select Arvell Reese with the second overall pick in the upcoming draft. Reese's skills as an off-ball linebacker and edge rusher align with Glenn's vision for a multifaceted defensive scheme.
