Todd Monken Has Hilarious Hope After Allowing Eight Sacks to Jets

I didn't want to say that Sunday in Week 5 was a must-win for the New York Jets, especially since this team has played decent football all season, but it felt like one of those games the Jets had to win. 

Whether that was fair remains to be seen, as New York still has much of the season to figure things out, but it was a positive sign that they could beat a pretty good team. The Browns entered this one at 3-1 and had played very well throughout the season, but the Jets took care of business, and there were many reasons why. 

At the top of that list was what the Jets did on defense. We have to give the Jets all the credit in the world for getting to the quarterback in this one as well, finishing with eight sacks. 

For New York, that's always going to be a recipe for success. As for Cleveland, that's something its head coach wanted to talk about after his team's loss. He admitted that eight sacks is something that just can't happen, and he hopes it doesn't happen for the rest of his time with the organization.

“Well, let’s just say this: Eight sacks is a season-high,” Todd Monken said, per Cleveland.com. “I hope like (h—) the rest of the time I’m here, we don’t have a game where we have eight sacks. OK? When you say that, it’s everything.

“It’s coaching, it’s playing, it’s getting the ball out of our hands, it’s protection, it’s all the above. It’s rarely just one person. And so we’ve all got to take a big fricking bite of this and work to get better because that’s not good enough .. you’re going to put yourself in that position when you can’t run the football.”

There are many reasons the Jets got to the quarterback eight times in a game, but whatever the reason, the defense looked better than it has for much of this year. 

When Aaron Glenn was hired, there was always hope that New York's defense would be among the best in the NFL. 

That hasn't necessarily been the case throughout much of his time here, but it was a promising sign, to say the least.
