After that loss, New York <a href=\"https:\/\/jetsxfactor.com\/2025\/09\/10\/ny-jets-plan-to-release-xavier-gipson-report\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">released punt returner Xavier Gipson<\/a> for fumbling twice in the contest.<\/p>\n<p>Fans want the same for edge rusher Micheal Clemons.<\/p>\n<p>The edge rusher struggled mightily throughout Sunday\u2019s loss to Buffalo, including a roughing the passer penalty that gifted the Bills a free first down on a third and 19 stop. <\/p>\n<p>Glenn has remained steadfast despite the push: Micheal Clemons is going nowhere.<\/p>\n<p>Glenn, Jets defend Micheal Clemons<\/p>\n<p>The numbers do not lie. Since arriving on the team as a fourth-round pick from the 2022 Draft, Clemons has committed nine personal foul penalties. During that same time, he has recorded just 7.5 sacks.<\/p>\n<p>Having an undisciplined player be penalized more than the basic form of production required is never a good sign. But for a coach like Glenn, he believes there is more to Clemons\u2019 game than most fans see. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMike has done a really good job from training camp going to the season, of understanding exactly what we\u2019re trying to do,\u201d Glenn said during availability on Monday. \u201cIt\u2019s so hard for a defensive lineman to make sure they don\u2019t go in and try to finish the tackle on the quarterback because of the rules. But that\u2019s not an excuse at all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know what it is, especially with that player.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether fans want Clemons gone or not, there is an underlying reason why the Jets continue to push the veteran edge rusher on the field. During their loss to the Bills, former first-round defensive end <a href=\"https:\/\/jetsxfactor.com\/team\/jermaine-johnson\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Jermaine Johnson<\/a> suffered an ankle injury.<\/p>\n<p>He did not return to the game, and there was no update from Glenn the following day. <\/p>\n<p>If Johnson can\u2019t go, the Jets have an obvious hole at edge rusher going into Week 3. If New York cut Clemons, their starting edge rusher room would consist of Will McDonald and former UDFAs Eric Watts and Braiden McGregor. <\/p>\n<p>This is certainly not a group that would strike fear into opposing quarterbacks\u2019 hearts.<\/p>\n<p>Whether fans are happy or not, it seems like Micheal Clemons is here to stay at this point with the Jets. The question will be whether the organization can finally get some production to match the \u201caggressiveness\u201d Aaron Glenn likes to see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York Jets fans who wanted to see head coach Aaron Glenn release one of the team\u2019s most&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":372077,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2051],"tags":[1585,53,30015,7,3228,226,36373,1917,255,2321,2097,6,4403,3231,3916,3234],"class_list":{"0":"post-372076","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-jets","8":"tag-aaron-glenn","9":"tag-buffalo-bills","10":"tag-faria-on-the-beat","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-free-content","13":"tag-jets","14":"tag-micheal-clemons","15":"tag-new-york","16":"tag-new-york-jets","17":"tag-newyork","18":"tag-newyorkjets","19":"tag-nfl","20":"tag-ny-jets-coaches","21":"tag-ny-jets-news","22":"tag-ny-jets-players","23":"tag-standard"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115212811388366044","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=372076"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372076\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/372077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=372076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=372076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=372076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
