US EditionJets' Glenn Says 'the Sky's Not Falling' After 0-2 Start as They Face Undefeated Buccaneers
Head coach Aaron Glenn draws from successful NFL examples to rebuild Jets' culture and motivate players despite the challenging 0-2 start to the 2025 season.
- Despite starting the season 0-2, the Jets’ head coach expressed confidence on Friday that the team remains positive and driven as they prepare for their Week 3 matchup in Tampa Bay.
- The Jets face challenges including injured key players and a defense embarrassed by allowing 224 rushing yards last week, while historically fewer than 13% of 0-2 NFL teams make the playoffs.
- Glenn used metaphors of ships turning slow and chopping wood daily to emphasize steady improvement, reflecting a message of patience similar to Nick Sirianni's early struggles with the Eagles in 2021.
- Glenn emphasized that the situation isn’t dire, while Quinnen Williams expressed the defense’s frustration over last week’s performance and shared that the team pledged to prevent similar lapses moving forward, demonstrating their dedication to improving the season.
- The Jets must win soon to preserve playoff hopes, but Glenn and players express belief in the team’s capacity to improve despite adversity and a difficult schedule against the undefeated Buccaneers.
