Jets team leaders run walk-through the day after…
The Jets held a walk-through Sunday, the day after their loss to the Giants.
There was a twist: It was run by the gamers. No coordinators or assistant coaches have been on hand, only head coach Aaron Glenn, there to oversee the one-hour workout.
The concept for it was Glenn’s. It was one thing the Lions used to do on event.
Players have been in charge of directing the drills and conditions, calling performs and instructing one another.

“[It was] an ownership thing. Also us owning the calls, owning the defense, really leaning into what it is our coaches are going to be calling and why are they calling it, and can we even step in and predict it as a defense?” free security Andre Cisco said. “It was just players-led from that standpoint. We took possession of how many reps we have been going to get, and just holding guys accountable, how we’re getting the ball, executing the calls. It was efficient.
“[Glenn] said this is something that he envisions his team being, a player-driven team. So those player-driven practices are a way to enforce it.”

The Jets added needed depth to their defensive entrance Wednesday, trading for a pair of defensive tackles: Harrison Phillips of the Vikings and Jowon Briggs of the Browns.
Of the two, the 6-foot-3, 307-pound Phillips is the more skilled, getting into his eighth season. In 17 video games last season, he had 56 tackles, two sacks and a pressured fumble.
The Jets landed him in exchange for second-round picks in 2026 and 2027.
They despatched Cleveland a 2026 sixth-round choose and also acquired a seventh-rounder in 2026 for the 6-foot-1, 313-pound Briggs. A seventh-round choose in 2024, he recorded 13 tackles in six video games for the Browns last 12 months. The Jets have been in search of depth up entrance behind star Quinnen Williams.
Wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson said in his almost twenty years working with wideouts he has only coached one receiver quicker than rookie Arian Smith: Rondale Moore.
The key is Smith, a rookie fourth-round choose, translating that blinding pace into manufacturing.
“You got to play with that speed all the time because speed kills in this league,” Jefferson said. “If you have it, it’s a luxury, and when you don’t have it, it’s a detriment. His thing is playing full speed all the time, which he does. Also, learning how to control that speed in routes.”
