Jets DT Harrison Phillips ‘I Trust the Man at the Helm’

Glenn has tabbed Chris Harris, up until now the team’s defensive backs/pass game coordinator, to replace Wilks. Harris had the same title and job with Tennessee for the past two seasons and is now in his 12th season coaching in the NFL.

“From my interactions with him, just somebody I can tell who really cares about what he does,” Phillips said. “He’s passionate about the game. He’s very smart in terms of game planning and knowing what we’re going to get. I know that his room appreciates him and speaks fairly highly of him. And I think AG always talks about the right type of people that are blue collar, bring your lunch pail to wherever. He’s here all the time, he’s working real well. And from the meeting that he ran today, I was very appreciative of how he handled it.”

HC Aaron Glenn on QBs and Garrett Wilson

UDFA QB Brady Cook got his first NFL start, and tossed his first NFL TD pass on Sunday at Jacksonville. He completed his first 6 passes, but then made what HC Aaron Glenn called “rookie mistakes,” throwing 3 interceptions.

On Monday, Glenn was asked if Cook would start at New Orleans, or if either Justin Fields (knee) or Tyrod Taylor (groin) would be ready to return to the field.

“I’m going to be consistent by the way I go about doing things, and I think you understand how I do that,” Glenn said in response to a reporter’s question. “And I’m going to make sure this thing plays out the way it needs to play out. And I’m going to evaluate this whole thing up until Wednesday and I’ll give you guys a good answer Wednesday.”

The next question was about the possible availability of WR Garrett Wilson, who was placed on injured reserve in Week 11 after he re-injured his knee, for Sunday’s game. Glenn also considered whether Wilson might be shut down for the balance of the season — 3 games.

“It’s Monday, and I’ll find a lot of that out going later today,” Glenn said. “You’ll get an answer Wednesday, but hopefully he does. I think we all hope that he plays this year, but I want to make sure you guys have a true answer when it comes to that.”
