The New York Jets' new coaching staff, including coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey, shared insights at the NFL's annual owners meeting. Their comments revealed a strategy involving multiple players and a shift in approach.
The team expressed confidence in Justin Fields as the starting quarterback. While specific details about offensive strategies weren't deeply explored, the overall tone suggested a positive outlook on Fields' potential.
Coach Glenn's comments regarding running back Breece Hall indicated a committee approach. He highlighted that Hall, along with Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, would all see significant playing time. This suggests a strategy of distributing carries among multiple players rather than relying on a single 'bell-cow' back.
The Jets’ new brain trust spoke at length at the NFL’s annual owners meeting this week, and had plenty to say about the team and some of the new acquisitions.
We wrote a lot about what coach Aaron Glenn had to say regarding his vision for the team and what general manager Darren Mougey said about new quarterback Justin Fields, but they hit on some other topics as well.
“I think mentally he’s in a good place,” Glenn said of Hall, who is going into his fourth NFL season. “But I would say that we have three running backs on this team that we’re going to utilize as much as possible. They’re all big men. They can run. They’re violent. They’re physical. I think once we get a chance to get the players in and see exactly how they operate, I think every player is going to be happy with the way that we go about this offense. And I think he’s going to be one of them.”
It was interesting to me that Glenn took a question specifically about Hall and steered it into a conversation about Hall, Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis. It sheds some light into his thinking that Hall is not going to be a bell-cow back. This is going to be a running back by committee.
