We keep hearing " Leave the HC alone". Maybe we should take that advice and just not pay so much attention to the Jets for the next year or two. They're not winning anything anytime soon so why not let them essentially go "dark" and see what the roster looks like in '27. The Pats found their next FQB. We have Justin fckn Fields. Show how much ground we have to make up before even become relevant again.
I don't understand how they could lose that game to Dallas. Aaron Glenn SAID they were going to "go back to work"!
Maye is present and accounted for in the first and second half of his games. We should definitely hope he’s not actually dealing with growing pains.
Photoshop is clearly not my forte but if someone could make a t-shirt with something to this effect on it I’d buy it and wear it every fucking Sunday until he’s gone.
I’m watching AG’s press conferences and while he says the right things, and he’s thoughtful with his answers, I come away from the last couple conferences with 2 impressions 1. I don’t know why, but I just feel like he kind of expected to suck and kind of just is ok with it…he said coming in they want to win now, and of course any coach will say that, but you just get the feeling that he’s kind of ok with it…just too many mentions back to Detroit and how they started the same way with a lot of losses, and I just feel like he’s ok with it and somehow the winning will come…much like how he says we emphasize takeaways and they will come and man when they do they come in bunches….I don’t know what kind of magic wand he has that will somehow make these turnovers come, or the wins come, but that’s just the feeling I get…which brings me to my second impression 2. I don’t think he knows HOW to coach these mistakes away…he specifically called out the four huge issues we have…he called out missed tackles, and he called out the “stuff you do to lose games” specifically talking about penalties, turning the ball over, and not taking the ball away. He knows what the problems are…he’s calling out the same shit we are all talking about. I just don’t think he knows how to fix it. He keeps saying they emphasize these things, but clearly just telling the players not to fumble or not to commit penalties doesn’t really do much. I don’t know how many punch the ball out drills they are doing on D, but they should double or triple them. I don’t know how many gauntlets they make their ball carriers run through guys trying to punch out the ball, but they need to double or triple those also. Do something… I just have nothing tangible to hang my hat on that these coaches know what to do and how to do it. I haven’t seen any semblance of that.
There probably isn’t a lot a coach can do to fix tackling during the season. It’s an off-season thing as I doubt they really hit at all during in-season practices. I’m not trying to be a smart ass but maybe they were too focused on big hard hitting contact with their whole “toughest practices in years” shit they kept leaking to the media in the summer and not fundamentals in tackling.
I think Glenn fully expected us to be good and is falling back on excuses now that we aren't. I have noticed a change in him over the past couple weeks. After the first few games, he was pretty upbeat during press conferences despite us losing. The past two weeks, he has looked defeated. He's starting to get the bewildered look Saleh had for much of his tenure, like he truly has no idea how to make things better. Not encouraging.
I really think Saleh/MILF would compete for the play-offs with this roster. Remember 2022 season. Zach Wilson at QB and a bad OL. Won 7 games that year. Imploded at the end but played meaningful games in December and even one in Jan, though lost all of them. We are really at Kotite level at this point. Much worse than Saleh and even Gase.
Definitely. Let's not move the goal posts now. Glenn at the combine said: "We are here to win now, and I am looking forward to it." Same thing he told to Q, when he said we are rebuilding. So, all this big ship turn slow and instant coffee bullshit is just that: bullshit. This similar team, but with Zach Wilson and shitty OL, has won 7 games with Bob in 2022. They had a chance to improve in the offseason, and 100% were expecting to win now. They just failed, particularly on defense with this defensive coach. 0:15
Or to take over the team. I was looking back when we were talking about coaches and found the following: https://forums.theganggreen.com/threads/your-head-coach-choices-for-2025.100428/page-43#post-4436987 "The thing is when I heard Glenn's name mentioned, I figured Detroit had a good defense as haven't really watched them play much. Otherwise why would he be a candidate? Then I watch a few games and D is just OK. I look at his record, and it is subpair overall. I mean the guy is a decent/OK DC. I don't really want any defensive guy as a coach for the reasons I stated before, but if you do get a defensive guy, he has to prove he can build great defense at the very least. Glenn hasn't. So, why is he even being mentioned? Is it because he is on a good team, hard nosed, and has Jets ties? To me, these are good auxiliary points, and he checks these boxes, but the main one for a DC is having top defense. And Glenn does not have that, and never did. He doesn't check the main box. With Glenn not only do we have to worry about offense, but also defense as well. Hard no for me." I did not want to be right on this and forgot about this post, but darn do we have to worry about the defense. And frankly looking back at it fresh maybe we should not have been surprised. Glenn in 4 years in Detroit had defenses ranked as follows in points/yards: 31/29, 28/32, 23/19, 7/20. Every single number out of 8 you see here is below average to terrible, except finishing 7th last year in points, but still 20 in total yards. If anything this looks like an aberration rather than the norm. And this year so far 31/23. It's actually very much in line with his performance in Detroit. I am VERY VERY worried about our prospects, even though it has been only 5 games.
