Jets Coach Reveals Plan for Geno Smith, Starters After Ugly Practice vs Bucs
Aaron Glenn reveals his preseason plan for Geno Smith and the Jets' offense after struggling in Tuesday's joint practice.
Geno Smith returns to the New York Jets, seeking redemption after a faltering career with the team more than a decade ago. After his breakout season with the Seattle Seahawks, Smith's tenure with the Raiders saw a disappointing end. New Jets head coach Aaron Glenn and offensive coordinator Frank Reich, however, are impressed with Smith's progress during training camp.
During Tuesday's joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Smith struggled, throwing two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown, and the offense faced issues being out of sync. Despite the underwhelming performance, Glenn plans to have Smith and the rest of the Jets' starters play in Friday's preseason opener against the Buccaneers.
Glenn's decision to utilize his starters early in the preseason, even after a joint practice, is an uncommon approach, but he believes the added repetitions will benefit the team ahead of the regular season.
