New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn found himself on the wrong side of his own words this past week. Just one week ago, Glenn mocked reporters who asked whether he would consider benching Justin Fields, dismissing the question as premature and unnecessary.
Fast forward to Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Carolina Panthers, and Glenn decided to make the very decision he scoffed at, pulling Fields midgame in favor of Tyrod Taylor after yet another dismal showing under center.
Fields' struggles became impossible to ignore — just as they should have been a week ago — and Glenn made the necessary decision to insert Taylor after halftime.
