For the first time in my life, I'm going to be looking for people to run into, Snell told Jets halfback Emerson Boozer, who went on to deliver key blocks in the game. I'm going to be looking to punish people.
The New York Jets are parting ways with offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday. Jets head coach Aaron Glenn and Engstrand had multiple conversations about his role moving forward and ultimately, they made the mutual decision to move on. The Jets' search for a new offensive coordinator will start immediately. The Jets are also in search of a defensive coordinator after firing Steve Wilks in December.
The Jets' defensive coordinator search has flown under the radar during a frenzied HC carousel, but it has taken shape Friday. The team announced eight candidates for the job. In addition to interim DC Chris Harris, seven others received interviews. Don Martindale (Michigan), Jim Leonhard (Broncos), Ephraim Banda (Browns), Jim O'Neil (Lions), DeMarcus Covington (Packers), Daronte Jones (Vikings) and Mathieu Araujo (Dolphins) interviewed for the position.
Dante Moore, who was the clear-cut No. 2 passer expected to come out of the Class of 2026, announced earlier this week that he will stay at Oregon for one more season, making the Jets the losers of this situation. As of now, no other young quarterback is projected to be a bona fide Day 1 draft pick until the NFL's mind-numbing pre-draft machine ultimately inflates a talent or two that will have no business being taken in the first round.
Going 16 games without a pick and having to break the streak against Josh Allen would have been tough, except he wasn't the Jets' real challenge yesterday. (The Jets have plenty of challenges; foremost is being the Jets.) The Bills let Allen take one snap to preserve his streak of consecutive starts, then replaced him with backup QB Mitchell Trubisky, who proceeded to carve up the New York defense for 259 yards and four touchdowns on 22-of-29 passing.
