The New York Jets have some exciting things to look forward to in the future. While I understand that a lot of fans want the Jets to prove something before they give them any bit of hope, there seems to be a lot of respect for head coach Aaron Glenn.
After his first season, one in which many wanted him fired, Glenn will have to win this year. However, if he continues to get the type of respect that it sounds like he's getting from some of the veterans in the locker room, as the Jets are back and ready to go, there's a lot of promise for what this can be.
"I think AG's preaching all the right messages," Demario Davis said, per the Jets. "And it sounds like there's a locker room of guys who have bought into what he's coaching. We're just being brought in to help reinforce that. If anything, use our voices to turn up the volume because at the end of the day, ships go into daylight because you hold on and you hold steady through the storm, and that's all we need to do."
Glenn also had a lot of good things to say about what he's looking forward to in practices this year, as his changed role, now calling defensive plays, should help him put a better touch on what this team looks like moving forward.
"At practice, for example, there are things I want to do differently. I want to be able to maximize our reps as much as I can and also make sure there's recovery for the players," Glenn said. "There are certain things that we want to push forward, especially now since I'm calling the defense. There are some things like offensively that I want to make sure that we take advantage of, and that's one of the reasons why Frank [Reich, offensive coordinator] was high on the list to be able to understand exactly how is he going to create these matchups that we want to create."
