Jets Fall to 2-4 as Patriots O-Line Bullies Glenn’s Defense in 4th Quarter

If Aaron Glenn’s superpower is calling the defensive plays, it would appear his kryptonite is facing a team with a decent starting quarterback who may not even require an offensive line.  That was certainly the case today against the Patriots as Drake Maye threw three TD passes while his backup O-line bullied the Jets in the fourth quarter.

Key takeaways?

– With the Jets needing a stop late in the game and the Patriots missing three of their starters up front, it made no difference to the Pats.  New England ran the ball eight consecutive times for 44 yards before icing the game with a field goal.

– It was a breakout game for rookie receiver Omar Cooper Jr. who returned to the lineup.  He would finish with six catches for 103 yards and a touchdown.

– Braelon Allen had a third consecutive strong effort in carrying the ball 17 times for 78 yards, averaging 4.6 per carry.

– Olu Fashanu surrendered his sixth sack of the season.  That’s the most sacks allowed by any player so far this season.

– David Bailey didn’t register a sack after picking up three last week, but he did manage to force a pair of fumbles.  Jamien Sherwood would force one later on that was also picked up by the Jets.

– The Patriots had several key plays through the air on which Hunter Henry was left uncovered.  Asked about it after the game, Glenn said the team just needs to get on the same page on defense.

– Glenn was also critical of his offense, saying they’re not finishing the way they should.  He says it will be a point of emphasis in practice to get the situation fixed.

– Garrett Wilson was inexplicably a forgotten man once again.  He finished the game with just 4 catches and had only 2 through the first three quarters.

– And just as ridiculous as Wilson’a lack of targets was Kenyon Sadiq finishing with just one reception for 12 yards, giving him 3 catches for 15 yards since his 100 yard performance against the Lions.
