0:00It's September 5th. I'm Corey with the story. This is New York Jets News Today, driven by AI and built for fans. The New York Jets defense is looking pretty solid against the Tennessee Titans, especially when it comes to stopping the run. They've got a player into Vandrey Sweat who seems like a real problem for the Titans' offensive line. But the past game is where things get really interesting for the Jets. Their new play collar, Aaron Glinn, is expected to bring a lot of pressure, and that could be a major issue for Titans' quarterback, Cam Ward. Ward had a rough rookie year, statistically one of the worst for a first year quarterback, his biggest weakness, dealing with the blitz. He had the lowest success rate against blitzes in the league, and the numbers were pretty stark compared to other quarterbacks. Glinn, on the other hand, loves to blitz. When he was coordinating the defense for the Detroit Lions, they were second in the league in Blitz rate. With the Jets, that number dropped, but it's expected to go back up, especially in week 1. So you got a young quarterback who struggles mightily against the blitz, facing a defensive
