"And he has become so blind and defensive regarding the reality that befell his Jets on Sunday in London - that they would have been better off and might have beaten the Broncos if they had competent quarterback play at just a few critical points, if they had avoided just one or two of the nine sacks they endured - that he can't even understand the impulse to make the necessary personnel adjustment."
""I thought about this a lot last night. I thought about the question that was asked," he said. "When you look at what Justin did in the games that he played, I didn't think he was bad at all. I actually thought he did some pretty good things in those four games. In this fifth game, he took a step back."
Aaron Glenn insists on 'not letting go of the rope' and resists recognizing when a quarterback change is necessary. He fears a switch would signal weakness or abandonment of principles and will not contemplate in-game or long-term quarterback replacements. The Jets lost 13-11 in London, produced minus-10 net passing yards, had no completion over 11 yards, and endured nine sacks. Competent quarterback play at critical moments and avoiding a sack or two might have changed the outcome. Glenn reacted defensively to questions about benching Justin Fields and rejected benching after a single bad performance.
