Jets Owner Just Took A Shot At Justin Fields… | Pat McAfee Show

There’s some news coming out of the NFL world because the owners are having their meetings right now, which I don’t think we knew about. We should have been on top of that. We apologize. Woody Johnson was asked about the state of the Jets and the state of his head coach Aaron Glenn in his first year here. And obviously, as you recall, Aaron Rogers uh this past offseason, flew from Los Angeles to New Jersey to meet with the new head coach and GM. And the way he tells the story is that thing ended before it even started. Aaron Glenn said, “We’re going a different direction.” basically kicked him out of the building and Aaron said, “What the [ __ ] I fly out here for?” He could have told me this on the phone. Now, Aaron Glenn obviously after a rough start with the New York Jets is getting a lot of heat, a lot of conversation. Woody Johnson was tasked with asking some questions or answering some questions. Here’s what he had to say from Tom Rock at News Day Sports. What’s your confidence level in Aaron to turn it around? Well, he’s it looks like he’s turning around parts of it. You know, it’s hard when you have a quarterback with, you know, with a rating that uh that we’ve got, you know, I mean, he has the ability, but something just is not jing. But if you look at any any head coach with a quarterback like that, you’re going to see similar results if you across the league. You have to play consistently with, you know, at that position. And uh and that’s what we’re going to try to do for the remainder of the season. So, so what so what gives you hope then hope? I just think defense special teams are doing better. Defense is pretty good and if we can just complete a pass it would look good. You know, we got to complete some pass. You got to convince them that you can do something otherwise it’s hard to have uh you know have a a game that uh you could win. What do you say to the fans who’ve lost hope? I mean I know it’s early. So yeah, what do you want this guy to do? Our Corvette stinks. Okay, is kind of what he load of confidence there for the QB. Man, that’s tough. Paid him 20 million a year. You got to be able to just complete a a pass, you know, like that is something you got to be able to give confidence to the coaches in calling it and we appreciate that in real time being reported from the owner’s meetings. But yeah, I I appreciate the fact that Woody Johnson’s like, “You guys think Aaron Glenn’s a problem? [ __ ] look at the quarterback that I paid $20 million a year after we kicked Aaron Rogers out of here. That’s an interesting dilemma, but I think it is the truth that we’re all kind of seeing with this Jets team. But it’s tough coming from ownership is probably how Justin Fields is feeling. Yeah. I I guess what were expectations for the Jets coming into this year? Like, okay, somehow if they would have if they had won one or two games so far this year, would we be okay and people wouldn’t be questioning his job or what? Paid Garrett Wilson. Uh paid Justin Fields 20 million, paid Sauce Gardner, have a good defense. Aaron Glenn’s coming in. we assume with a brand new mindset for the entire building. They were obviously very focused on turning that place around and trying to become a contender and a winner and then it’s just same old Jets stuff I think is what Jets fans would say. But I would like to say okay even though Aaron Rodgers Tuesday was something that we were very lucky to be a part of we didn’t mind Aaron Glenn moving on from Aaron Rogers. We we didn’t mind the decision to kind of go ahead and have your own team. Uh, so I think it’s going to take a couple years. Obviously, you’d have to change a culture at a place, but I think everybody was hoping that they’d be able to do it quicker. What are your thoughts on what Woody Johnson said there about the reality of the Jets? It’s it’s going to be hard to go in that locker room right now as the owner and uh and look at your quarterback if he’s still the quarterback. I I would think they’re going with Tyrod Taylor the rest of the year. Yeah. I mean, after that after that for sure. Tyrod just about beat the Bucks a couple weeks ago down in Tampa. Last second field goal when the Bucks win. the the Jets are close. They’re they’re getting closer. And I like what what he said. Defense, special teams. They’re doing better job, but they gota let Tyrod go the rest of the year. Rap Sheet reported another quote coming from Woody. I do believe in Aaron. If I were a player, I’d respond to him. There’s no BS. There’s no agendas. Aaron Glenn’s trying to bring a whole new culture to the Jets. How do you feel about what just happened there, D? Uh, I mean, that was tough to hear to hear that from like everything BA said, it would be tough. I mean, it’s the he’s still the owner of the team, so he’s not going anywhere. But speaking on your quarterback like that, the guy you just paid, that’s rough. But to your guys’ point, the defense have given up what 13 points backtoback week. So that’s something to build on. And defense at some point that’s going to wear the bad offense is going to wear on your defense as well. So they got to figure it out offensively. And this it’s been a [ __ ] show in New York for a long long time. I don’t know who was recording this kid, but somebody caught this poor kid walking out of a Jets game and he was like, “Man, I’m I’m I was born in this [ __ ] I’ll be a Jets fan for the rest of my life.” But it it’s it’s horrible and that’s been the state of the Jets for a long long time. So it’ll take some time to figure it out. But uh at this point uh what’s today’s date? October 21st. I still believe in Aaron Glenn. Uh I’ll give him some time. Me too. Me too. AJ, you Yeah, you got the guy. You got to have at least a season and an off season to figure things out. Yeah, that was a little bit more of those sick. We need a little bit more of those, you know, but we’ve seen this team, this organization suck the soul out of somebody. Robert Solid didn’t smile for five years. Okay. And he was the guy that was all the way over the field for the San Francisco 49ers and he’s back. So, I like seeing that from Maron Glenn, but he knew what he was signing up for. He took the New York Jets coaching job. Yeah, exactly. Okay. He he knew exactly what he was signing up for. You would assume. And uh Tyrod Taylor, much like Joe Flacco, he’ll do it. And there’s a reason why he’s still in the league right now. Like everybody talks about these older players. Oh, why they have these older Because these [ __ ] are good at football. like and they also know a lot about it. So if the Jets are able to somehow maintain on the offensive side and their defense and special teams are able to do some [ __ ] Aaron Glenn steals some wins goes into the off season. Everything’s on the up and up. Let’s find our quarterback for the future. Let’s go ahead and do this. And the Jets fans will all be all the way back. Michael Cole, yeah, we got our culture back. We’re a tough team. You see Aaron Glenn? And then I I fear right. Then I fear that next year comes and then all of a sudden it’ll be some new [ __ ] that they’ll figure out. And that’s what Jets fans fear as well. There’s just always some new [ __ ] that’s gonna come down from the clouds and rain on the New York Jets success is how Jets fans feel. That’s going to be a tough culture to change, brother. That’s going to be a tough culture. It takes it takes some time. I’m wondering how’s Greenie doing? Is Greenie all right? Like have we checked on him lately with the Jet? Did he just completely just give up? I think he’s packed it in. Yeah. This is normal. This is normal jokes. Could you imagine him listening to that Woody Johnson quote there for the first time? Well, yeah. Do we have to say that? I don’t know if we have to say that. You know, like there’s some things we probably don’t have to say publicly, but I guess that’s one of them that we just need to let fly as the ownership of the New York Jets, which a lot of people have brought in the question. You know, a lot of people have said ownership is part of the problem. And we’re not going to say this particular answer is part of the problem, but we do know you’re not hearing other owners throw the quarterback under the bus in most situations. Certainly not. So, that’s uh certainly an outlier. Yeah. And that’s the thing about when they signed Fields. It wasn’t like, oh, this is stupid. like Fields won a bunch of games for the Steelers last year. So, you kind of thought that they were going to go with the running offense, drain the clock, and then, you know, turns out they’re trying to throw it and they can. And, you know, maybe this is an MCDC umbrella type thing. They any really, really poopy organization you go to, it’s going to take some time. Ben Johnson would be the outlier cuz, you know, that setup was kind of perfect for him. We also probably should have known when multiple people came on the show and they said that the Jets formula for winning every game was like, “Hey, they got to win 1310 every single week.” like they got to play from ahead. They’re if they’re down by 10 points, they’re going to be screwed because they can’t, you know, throw the ball the way that they’re going to want. It’s like the NFL is not like that. We had teams scoring 30 to 40 points every week. So, it wasn’t exactly a stroke of confidence going into the season, but it’s New York, so you know, people get excited. How’s Grainy feeling? Well, we have some tweets from him during games. For the second consecutive week, Aaron Glenn chose to let the half end without attempting a Hail Mary. With a team that didn’t score a touchdown in either game, it’s inexcusable. Hashtagjets. Seems like Greenie’s already on his way out of this whole thing and Woody Johnson’s reading his tweets. I agree, man. But what what do you want him to do? The guy can’t complete a pass. The guy can’t You think we’re gonna do a Hail Mary? Every throw is a Hail Mary. We’re running bubble screens and we’re calling them Hail Marys over there with Justin Fields. Good luck to the Jets and Justin Fields. Don’t worry about it. He’s paying you. Check with cash. When’s the last time Jets have been like good sustain? I know Rex September 11th, 2023. Yes. Mhm. First four games or four plays. Do you remember that? I do. The entrance. Mhm. Mhm. That was sweet. They were good. Mhm. Yeah. Yeah. It was Fitz Magic. Uh 2015. Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker. That was the last time I think they won 10 games or nine games and it was Todd Bulls, I think. How about you during your 47 years of coaching? 27 in the NFL. How many of those decades were the Jets like good? Two at least. Do you remember like a and then Martin had a little run? Curtis Martin, all those guys and uh Vinnie Rex Ryan Ryan took we played him in the championship game in Pittsburgh. Um yeah, we played Doug O’Brien missed that field goal. Oh yeah. Who? It was Herm Edwards. Yeah. Who who missed the field goal? Doug O’Brien. Doug Bryan. I don’t remember him. He was kicker for the Saints and it was up at the at Jets and uh it was like 10 below zero and we end up winning that game. Rex Ryan had them rolling. Yeah, pretty side. I think that was Herm. I think Herm was the head coach that year. So Herm Edwards. So you need somebody that’s pretty, you know, feels like have to take on that entire thing. You talk about Herm obviously very uh uh what would that why you play the game, baby. Extrovert. I think he he’s a good extrovert. Uh Rex Ryan obviously big time extrovert. Aaron Glenn has a lot of dog mentalities. Feels like that might be the style of coach that you need to be able to win at the Jets. That Rex Ryan run was fun. That was a fun time. That was ground and pound ground and pounding defense. They had a great defense weekend and weekend. That was the year actually as a p that was second year was 14-2. They came the can’t wait that moment. They came in New England won and then went to the AFC championship. But you know that was a few years and then you talked about the Curtis Curtis Martin and that era back then. But like as far as like sustain, you know, the Giants, you know, they had they have a run now where it’s been a [ __ ] show, but we all can remember when the Giants won a couple Super Bowls, did their things like the Jets, man, it’s been a long long time. On that note, Nick Mangled pulling for you, brother. Yeah, Nick. [Music]
