About the Breece Hall stuff:

He is a good player. We obviously don’t have enough good players. We’re going to let him go for what, a 3rd round pick that we would probably fuck up anyways?

Don’t do it.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

I just remembered when the Jets hired that consulting firm “33rd Team” to find them a new head coach

They interviewed like a thousand people, and quite possibly came up with the worst of all time

That takes real skill 🫡

Chris Taylor @christaylornyc.bsky.social · 2d

I regret to say Aaron Glenn is just not a good coach. Out-schemed, no in-game adjustments, stubborn, poor personnel decisions, incompetent game management

Continuing to trot out Justin Fields as QB when he is having one of the worst games I’ve ever seen, when you have a chance to win, is organizational malpractice from Aaron Glenn
