Whereas most anticipate the New York Jets will begin quarterback Justin Fields over backup Tyrod Taylor coming off their bye, first-year Jets head coach Aaron Glenn declined to substantiate any information concerning the scenario forward of the membership’s break.

Aaron Glenn holding quarterback plans “near the vest”
“You understand I’m not going to present you that reply,” Glenn stated, as shared by Myles Simmons of Professional Soccer Speak. “I’m going to maintain that near the vest.”
Taylor seemingly was on observe to start out the Jets’ recreation on the Cincinnati Bengals on Oct. 26 earlier than he was dominated out of that contest attributable to a bone bruise in his knee. Fields then accomplished 21-of-32 passes for 244 yards and a landing versus a bad Bengals protection en path to serving to the Jets earn a 39-38 win that improved them to 1-7 on the season. Regardless of that consequence, the Jets may become sellers forward of the NFL commerce deadline, which is able to arrive at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
“It helps the quarterback’s confidence when the participant and the coach discuss they usually know who the man is,” Glenn stated about not revealing the id of his QB1 to outsiders on Monday. “It’s not that I’m telling it to you guys. That has nothing to do with the participant’s confidence.”
Do Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor know who’s beginning vs. Browns?
Shortly after Glenn spoke with reporters, ESPN BET had the Jets as 2.5-point favorites over the Browns. It feels like these contained in the Jets locker room could already know who might be within the lineup for the Week 10 matchup at MetLife Stadium.
“That might be between me and the participant,” Glenn added about who will begin towards Cleveland. “I don’t perceive why you guys hold doing it. It’s actually getting hilarious, too, since you guys hold asking the identical query and I hold giving you an identical reply.”
It appears as if reporters should get used to Glenn embracing his inner Nick Saban for at the very least the following handful of days.
