Aaron Glenn: I should have used timeouts at the end of the first half
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Since Aaron Glenn became head coach, the Jets have been outscored 100-6 in the final two minutes of first halves, highlighting ongoing struggles in critical moments.
- In Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Glenn did not use any timeouts after the two-minute warning, allowing Dolphins QB Malik Willis to score a touchdown with six seconds left, extending the lead to 21-7.
- Glenn admitted postgame that the Jets should have used timeouts to stop the clock but believed they could stop the Dolphins without doing so, a strategy that has been widely questioned.
- Critics argue that using timeouts would have preserved more time for the Jets to respond before halftime, especially since they had the ball to start the third quarter, making Glenn’s decision less justifiable.
- Glenn’s clock and timeout management has repeatedly faced scrutiny, raising questions about how much longer he will retain control over in-game decisions amid the team’s poor performance.
