"I think the first thing I do is look inward at myself and go, What is it that I can do better?' There are definitely some things I can do better, Engstrand said on Thursday prior to the Jets' Week 12 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. I always want to look at myself first and see if I'm making sure I'm putting them in the right position. I have to continue to evaluate that on a daily basis."
"Engstrand followed Glenn from the Detroit Lions in hopes of revitalizing the Jets' stagnant offense, which had recently struggled through the flops of previous franchise quarterbacks, including Sam Darnold, Zach Wilson, and even the supposed temporary savior, Aaron Rodgers. The 43-year-old had helped max out the Lions' passing game while helping Jared Goff reach new heights. That did not happen with Justin Fields at the Meadowlands."
"The Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers cast-off averaged fewer than 140 yards per game in nine starts with Gang Green, including a five-game stretch that saw him held to under 120 yards four times. It forced Glenn to finally bench Fields nearly a month after owner Woody Johnson lambasted the passer during October's owners' meetings. Veteran career backup Tyrod Taylor will get the start again"
The New York Jets are 2-8 and possess one of the worst offenses in football, with the passing game statistically the worst in the league. The team benched Justin Fields after nine starts in which he averaged fewer than 140 yards per game, including a five-game stretch with under 120 yards four times. Head coach Aaron Glenn faced criticism while offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand accepted responsibility and vowed to evaluate his play-calling and positioning daily. Engstrand followed Glenn from Detroit after helping Jared Goff and the Lions' passing game. Owner Woody Johnson publicly criticized Fields in October. Tyrod Taylor will start again.
