PALM BEACH, Fla. — Shhhhhhhhhh!
That could possibly be the Jets’ new motto.
New Jets coach Aaron Glenn acknowledged Monday that the workforce has tried to maintain a decrease profile this offseason.
The Jets have been accused of “profitable the offseason” previously with massive strikes and greater press conferences.
This offseason, they’ve been “transferring in silence,” in line with Glenn.
The Jets haven’t signed massive names aside from quarterback Justin Fields and so they haven’t stated a lot about these strikes.
“It’s by design,” Glenn stated on the NFL’s annual assembly. “Hear, I’m an enormous believer in simply transferring in silence and letting issues play out like they should play out.
“I believe our employees has achieved a extremely good job of that. Simply total, let’s make the strikes we have to make. Hear, this doesn’t must be a giant hoopla of what we’re doing. We simply wish to go about our enterprise and coach these gamers and attempt to create a distinct environment for the gamers that’s completely completely different most likely than what they’re used to.”
It actually is completely different than the final two years when the Jets made the splashy transfer to commerce for Aaron Rodgers after which tried to assemble a win-now workforce round him.
The Jets appeared to relish within the consideration that Rodgers introduced from “Onerous Knocks” to being a featured workforce on prime-time video games.
Glenn has introduced a distinct philosophy. He sounds just like the anti-Rex Ryan.
“I wish to transfer in silence and simply go about our enterprise, go win some video games,” Glenn stated. “You don’t win within the offseason anyway. I do know everyone has these grades, free company grades, draft grades and while you return and have a look at them they don’t actually imply crap. The one factor that makes a distinction is what you do throughout the season.”
With Glenn saying the Jets wished to be a quieter group, somebody identified that Rodgers isn’t silent and was that the rationale the Jets determined to launch the four-time MVP. Glenn dodged the query.
“I do know who I’m and I do know what I wish to do,” Glenn stated. “No matter how any particular person is, that has nothing to do with me. I do know what I wish to do. That doesn’t matter to me.”
The one transfer the Jets made this offseason that did make noise was the signing of Fields to a two-year, $40 million contract. Even so, the Jets haven’t had any press availability for Fields, a departure from how the workforce operated in previous offseasons.
Monday was the primary time Glenn had met with native reporters because the workforce signed Fields and he talked up his means to be a whole quarterback and never only a runner.
“He’s dynamic and he can run,” Glenn stated. “I don’t need that to be what all of us speak about with this participant. I need this participant to know that he’s going to go on the market and play quarterback for us. He’s going to have each alternative to try this. I wish to use his legs, sure, however I need him to go play quarterback.”
Glenn appeared to say that the Bears and Steelers, Fields’ earlier groups, didn’t get probably the most out of the quarterback.
“We wish to let him play quarterback,” Glenn stated. “That’s what he’s all the time wished to do. Hear, I’m not saying he hasn’t had the possibility to try this in different places. That’s not my challenge, however I do know what I wish to do with that participant. I clearly wish to make the most of his legs however I additionally wish to give him an opportunity to go on the market and play quarterback.”
