Jets
Jets HC Aaron Glenn said that he hasn’t named a starting quarterback for this weekend’s game and reiterated that owner Woody Johnson has left that decision fully in his hands.
“Woody puts that in my hand as far as who plays,” Glenn said, via PFT. “I don’t see that changing. He trusts me to make that decision. He made a comment and he has every right to that comment. That comment was actually said by a number of guys, including our quarterback, as far as the efficiency of how we play. We’re not gonna fight that, we understand that. We have to get better, we do. I don’t think there’s anywhere in that comment where he said he doesn’t like Justin.”
