Jets’ New Coach & QB Upgrade | NFL News

0:00It's September 2nd. I'm Corey with the story, and this is NFL News Today. Your AI-powered football briefing. So, the jets are looking to turn things around this season, bringing in Aaron Glenn as head coach after he had a solid run with the Detroit Lions. Last year, the team was a mess, finishing with a 3-win, 14-loss record and dead last in their division. It wasn't exactly Glenn's fault, but the pressure is on for him to show some serious improvement this year, especially with a tough schedule ahead. Glenn's been up front about his coaching style, saying he's got an edge that's not going anywhere. He wants his players to understand who he is as a coach, and a person, and he's focused on addressing any issues early on so the team can move forward. It's all about building that connection and making sure everyone's on the same page from the jump. The biggest change on offense is at quarterback. They're rolling with veteran Geno Smith, which is a definite upgrade from last year's starter. Smith's got the arm and the accuracy the jets were missing, so the passing game should be much more effective.

He's got a big contract, so the team expects big things. Adonai Mitchell is also on board, and he's got the size and speed to be a real threat. But beyond those two, the rest of the receiving group is pretty unproven, and they'll need to step up. The backup quarterback situation is a bit shaky though. They've got rookie Kade Klebnik behind Geno Smith, and he's still got a lot to learn about the NFL game. If Smith were to go down, it could put the jets in a tough spot. They might need to look for another option on the waiver wire, or through a trade, just to be safe.
