Now that those two key decisions have been made, attention turns to the roster and who will stay and go as Glenn and Mougey look to shape this team in their image and bring success back to the AFC East franchise.
With Glenn speaking at his introductory press conference, one thing stands out about the new Jets head coach - he's ready for the fight.
"Put your seat belts on and get ready for the ride, put your seat belts on, and get ready for the ride," Glenn said. "Listen, there are going to be some challenges, but with challenges becomes opportunity, but here's what I do know, we're the freaking New York Jets, we're built for this (expletive)."

Those are powerful words, Mr. Glenn.

Given how poorly the team fared both on and off the field last season, some don't think this will be a quick turnaround, but make no mistake, Glenn is ready to roll up his sleeves and get to work alongside Mougey.
Will there be challenges? Sure. But Glenn is determined to be all gas, no brakes as he attempts to steer this embattled ship to calmer waters.

24 degrees – the Black & Yellows looking forward to Atlanta
It was a step forward. 'With the ball, definitely,' said Julian Brandt in an interview with BVB-TV, going on to add: 'The big flaw was our finishing.' It had been very different on Saturday in the 4-3 win against Sundowns. While the chances created corresponded to 1.72 expected goals, clinical finishing resulted in four goals, a narrow 4-3 win and three important points. The opposite was true against Ulsan: Daniel Svensson's goal in the 36th minute was enough for a 1-0 win and the three points needed to win the group. The quality of the chances, resulting from 28 shots on goal to 3, should have led to 3.42 BVB goals. 'We could have put ourselves in a more comfortable position earlier,' said Brandt. 'Nevertheless, the lads did well, especially in thwarting counterattacks. We won the group and we're in the round of 16. That's all that matters.' Niko Kovac took a similar view at the press conference. 'I'm glad we managed to create significantly more chances than in the first two games,' said the head coach. 'We controlled the game and created good opportunities. In the second half, the temperatures contributed to us trying to wind the game down. All in all, we can be satisfied. We improved compared to the first two games. Now we're in first place, have an extra day to rest and then travel to Atlanta to play in a beautiful stadium.' Inline Image First place means one more day of recovery and preparation time. 'Especially when it comes to the strain of travelling,' says Brandt. 'We're always flying back and forth for a day. Another plus point is that after two matches at midday and one at 15:00, Borussia Dortmund can now avoid the intense heat. Kick-off in Atlanta is at 21:00 local time. The forecast is for 24 degrees Celsius when BVB take on CF Monterrey, who finished second in Group E, on Tuesday evening (Wednesday, 03:00 CEST). The Mexicans drew both their matches against Inter Milan (1-1) and River Plate (0-0) and won their final group match 4-0 against Urawa Reds from Japan. Three goals were scored between the 30th and 39th minutes. Advertisement On the flight back from Cincinnati to their base camp in Fort Lauderdale, the Borussia players watched the two games in the other group 'and then followed the final minutes of the game together in the hotel,' sporting director Sebastian Kehl told kicker: 'Now it's onto Monterrey on Tuesday evening in Atlanta, a team Borussia Dortmund have never played against before. We're up for it, we're taking on the challenge – and we're determined to progress to the next round.' Daniel Svensson believes the team can do it: 'We have to try to keep the tempo high throughout the game.' Given that Atlanta will have temperatures more akin to those in Europe, playing at the usual tempo shouldn't be a problem...

Regression or progression for Commanders QB Jayden Daniels in 2025?
This week, there was more talk about Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels potentially experiencing an NFL sophomore slump. But in this case, the two hosts weren't buying the talk of Daniels falling into the dreaded sophomore slump. Nope, Robert Mays and Derrick Klassen on their "The Athletic Football Show" podcast actually held firmly that they don't see Daniels falling off drastically. Advertisement For example, they discussed how NFL teams will adjust their strategies this year and employ different blitzes against Daniels. Thus, yes, a quarterback's performance against the blitz can vary from year to year. When suggesting that Daniels could fall back slightly against the blitz, a reference came to how, when being blitzed late in a game, he threw a deep touchdown. That no doubt was referring to the MNF win, when Daniels connected with Terry McLaurin down the right sideline, in the end zone, ensuring the Commanders' road win in Cincinnati over the Bengals. It was admitted that though Daniels might not maintain the rate to make a large gain against the blitz, the two ended up agreeing that they actually can easily see Daniels making enough of the plays he needs to make against blitzes in 2025. Comical is not the accurate description when listening, however, it was evident that both hosts agreed that when watching the film of the 2024 games, Daniels showed more than a few times that under duress, he already had an understanding of where to go with the football against certain blitzes. No, Daniels was not in the top ten quarterbacks in yards passing, but that's okay; he wasn't in the top ten in passing attempts either. Advertisement Maintaining a level of objectivity, Daniels did have a weakness last season of taking sacks. Being sacked 47 times, he was sacked the sixth most by an NFL quarterback in 2024. How much of that was the line? How much of that was Daniels? It's not a simplistic answer, as there were times last year when the line was inadequate; there were also instances where Daniels is clearly holding the ball and ends up being sacked. One side note, I recall numerous times when Daniels didn't throw the ball away and instead ran, only to get sacked for a loss of only a yard or two. Look for Daniels to be more consciously aware in this second NFL to taking sacks vs throwing away the ball. Who knows, having the same offensive coordinator (Kliff Kingsbury), might the learned familiarity with the same offense, result in Daniels not experiencing a slump at all?
