Jets players sense 'urgency' as the team prepares for second season under coach Aaron Glenn
Aaron Glenn overhauled his staff and added veteran leaders as the Jets try to end a 15-year playoff drought.
- On Tuesday, center Josh Myers noted a "real sense of urgency" during voluntary organized team activities as the New York Jets aim to improve after a 3-14 finish last season.
- To reshape the team, Glenn replaced half of his assistant coaches this offseason, hiring Frank Reich to lead the offense and adding Brian Duker as defensive coordinator to mentor young players.
- Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, a three-time All-Pro, echoed the sentiment that the team is building a successful foundation, while defensive lineman Harrison Phillips stated the locker room is now a "player-run team."
- Phillips, who previously called the roster "cancerous" during the Super Bowl, now cites a positive shift in philosophy where leaders shape the team's direction and culture.
- With the regular season three months away, the organization remains focused on applying lessons from Glenn's difficult first year, as players believe improved closeness will eventually parallel with wins.
