Weeks 1 & 2 are in the book for the 2025 New York Jets as we start off 1 and 1.
Aaron Glenn Postgame Presser – Week 1 vs Steelers
Opening Statement:
“Tough one today. We put ourselves in bad positions, and you can’t spot a team like Pittsburgh points off turnovers and expect to win. I thought our defense battled. The effort was there. But we’ve got to take care of the football and be better situationally. That’s the bottom line.”
On Justin Fields’ Performance:
“Justin had a rough day. Some of that’s on him, some of that’s on us. One pick goes off our receiver’s hands, but the other turnover was a poor throw. The fumbles — can’t happen. He knows that. He’s our starter, but he understands the leash is shorter. We expect him to respond.”
On Turning to Tyrod Taylor:
“Tyrod came in and settled us down. He did his job. That’s why we have him — to steady the group when needed. But Justin is still the starter going forward. He’ll get the chance to bounce back.”
On the Offensive Line Struggles vs. Steelers’ Pass Rush:
“Listen, Pittsburgh has one of the best front sevens in football. Watt and Highsmith made plays, that’s what they do. But we’ve got to be better protecting the quarterback. That’s coaching, that’s execution, and that’s toughness.”
On the Defense:
“I thought our guys played hard. We gave up 28, but one was a defensive score, another came off a short field. Our guys kept swinging. That’s the standard. We’ll clean up some things, but I like where we’re headed defensively.”
On Facing the Bills Next Week:
“Buffalo’s another tough test. Josh Allen’s coming off a loss and he’ll be ready. For us, it’s about how we respond. How we clean up the mistakes. I told our guys — one game doesn’t define us. We’ll be ready next Sunday.”
Aaron Glenn Postgame Presser – Week 2 vs Bills
Opening Statement:
“Proud of this team. First win for us, and it came the right way — complementary football. Offense responded, defense kept battling, and special teams did their job. That’s how we want to play. It’s one game, but it’s a step in the direction we expect.”
On Justin Fields’ Bounce-Back Performance:
“Justin answered the bell. That’s what you want to see from your quarterback after a tough outing. He pushed the ball downfield, made smart decisions with his legs, and kept our offense on schedule. He’s still got things to clean up, but I like the response. That’s growth.”
On Allen Lazard’s Big Day:
“Allen’s a pro. He was steady for us, made tough catches, and gave us a spark when we needed it. That’s what leadership looks like from a veteran in that room.”
On Sauce Gardner’s Interception and Defensive Play:
“Our defense is built on being relentless and opportunistic. Sauce played like Sauce — locked in, competitive, making plays on the ball. But it wasn’t just him. Our front kept Allen uncomfortable, and that’s what allowed those chances on the back end.”
On His First Win as a Head Coach:
“Look, I’m grateful. You work a long time for this opportunity, and to share that first win with this group of guys means something. But it’s not about me — it’s about where we’re going as a team. We’re building something, and this is just the start.”
On Carrying Momentum to Tampa Next Week:
“We’ve got to stack performances. One win doesn’t define us, just like one loss doesn’t. Tampa’s a tough environment, and we’ll need the same focus, the same energy, and better execution. We’re going to enjoy this tonight, then it’s back to work tomorrow.”
