New Jets coach Aaron Glenn had some enjoyable with the media on Thursday night time after the Jets made their first-round choose on this 12 months’s draft, when a reporter requested him if he needed to answer Aaron Rodgers’ criticisms.
The Jets coach smirked a bit earlier than replying.
“Completely,” Glenn mentioned earlier than a quick pause. “[Armand] Membou’s a extremely good participant, and I’m so excited that he’s a Jet.”
Membou, in fact, had been the Jets’ choose at No. 7 general earlier within the night time and Glenn gave the impression to be extra occupied with discussing his new participant than digging into the complaints of a now former one.
Rodgers had slammed the Jets and, particularly Glenn, over the way in which their divorce had performed out earlier this 12 months throughout an look on “The Pat McAfee Present” final week.
The longer term Corridor of Fame QB expressed that Glenn had not proven “ample respect” throughout a gathering in February that final quarter-hour after Rodgers had flown from California to fulfill with Jets brass on the staff’s facility in New Jersey.
“I believe we’re going to have this lengthy dialog,” he mentioned. “I’ve flown throughout the nation, and 20 seconds in, he goes and he leans to the sting of his seat and says, ‘So, you need to play soccer?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m .’ And he was like, ‘We’re moving into a distinct course at quarterback.’
“I used to be type of shocked. Not shocked as a result of I didn’t suppose it was a chance, however shocked as a result of I simply flew throughout the nation and you possibly can’ve instructed me this over the cellphone.”
As an alternative of partaking in a forwards and backwards with Rodgers, the Jets have opted to not deal with the feedback.
Darren Mougey, the Jets’ new common supervisor, declined to debate Rodgers throughout a pre-draft assembly with the media.
