“Our guys didn’t give up,” Glenn stated.
Glenn maybe realized that calling out his gamers wouldn’t go over nicely or replicate nicely on him.
“And getting an opportunity to take a look at it final night time, and have a look at it once more this morning, I’ll say this, effort was not the difficulty with that sport,” Glenn stated. “I assumed our guys performed all the best way to the very finish. What actually confirmed up is that they did some issues schematically I assumed that was difficult offensively and defensively that we actually have to check out and attempt to hone in on and repair these issues.”
The Patriots destroyed the Jets, scoring on their first six possessions. It was the Jets’ fourth straight lack of at the least 23 factors. They’ve the worst level differential in a December in NFL historical past, in response to ESPN.
Glenn is 3-13 in his first season as Jets coach. There isn’t a indication that the Jets are contemplating a change, however this has gotten terribly ugly for him. A part of the difficulty is the Jets have quite a few gamers on the sphere who don’t belong there proper now both due to damage or tanking.
“I might say that a few of their gamers simply made performs, and I stated this yesterday, man, it is a playmakers league,” Glenn stated. “Between the quarterback, the receivers, a few of their defensive backs and their D-linemen, these guys made the performs that ought to have been made, and we didn’t. So once more, it was not complete effort.”
Glenn appeared to irk the Patriots when he known as two timeouts within the last two minutes of the primary half regardless of trailing 28-3. The Patriots wound up scoring one other landing after which Patriots coach Mike Vrabel used a timeout to power the Jets to run one final play within the half. Glenn stated he was attempting to get his offense one other possession.
“At that time and completely man I’m attempting to provide our offense one other probability as a result of I do know we’re getting the ball again popping out of halftime,” Glenn stated. “If we are able to go and rating proper and get to 10 factors then come again after halftime and rating once more 17 factors, man it’s 28-17. We’re again into this sport. That’s the one factor that I’m excited about as a coach is how do I give our guys an opportunity to get again into this sport.”
