Jets' Aaron Glenn has another interesting back-and-forth during presser on Justin Fields
The week before Fields was benched, Glenn had a back-and-forth with a reporter during another press conference when asked if a change at QB could be made. The ensuing game, this past Sunday (just two more quarters of football), saw Fields replaced anyway.
New York Jets boss Woody Johnson maintained his support for coach Aaron Glenn despite the team's winless record. However, Johnson did express concerns about Justin Fields' performance.
The first year of New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn's tenure hasn't gone to plan in the Big Apple with zero wins on the team's ledger and a road game next against the Cincinnati Bengals. Jets owner Woody Johnson made headlines recent as he called for improved quarterback play amid a controversy between Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor.
While reports indicate that Fields is going to be replaced by backup Tyrod Taylor in the starting lineup ahead of New York's trip to face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8, Johnson specifically noted he will not be part of that final decision. Johnson said head coach Aaron Glenn will do so.
New York Jets owner Woody Johnson's faith in first-year head coach Aaron Glenn hasn't wavered despite their struggles so far this season.
