According to Ian Rapoport, the Jaguars are currently considered to be “very much in play” as a landing spot for Lions DC Aaron Glenn as he is likely to become a head coach following Detroit’s playoff run.
“You mentioned a couple of potential landing spots for Aaron Glenn. Sounds like the Jaguars are very much in play as well,” Rapoport said of Glenn. “I’m not going to say he is going to have his choice of places, but he is certainly going to have options among the Saints, the Jets, and the Jaguars.”
“Here’s the one thing that I would say about myself, I’m a coach,” Glenn commented. “I just happen to be on defense. I understand the offense just as well as a number of people. So if you wanna hire me, you’re going to hire a coach, you aren’t going to hire a defensive coach. I’m going to talk to the offense just as much as I’m going to talk to the defense.”
Ravens HC John Harbaugh and QB Lamar Jackson both defended TE Mark Andrews after his miscues that were part of the team’s loss to Buffalo.
“There’s nobody that has more heart and cares more and fights more than Mark. We wouldn’t be here without Mark Andrews,” Harbaugh said, via Pro Football Talk. “Mark will handle it fantastic, like he always does, because he’s a high-character person, he’s a tough person and he’s a good person. I’m proud of him just like I am all the guys.”
Jackson was more critical of his own mistakes rather than trying to blame Andrews.
“We’re a team. First half I had two turnovers,” Jackson said when asked about Andrews. “It’s a team effort. He’s been busting his behind, making plays for us. . . . All of us played a part in this game. It’s a team effort. I’m not gonna put that on Mark because he’s been battling all season, he’s been doing great things all season.”
The Texans were unhappy with some of the calls against their defense when it came to making the stop against Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes on Saturday.
“We knew it was going to be us against the refs going into this game,” DE Will Anderson said, via NFL.com. “I talked to you guys earlier this week. I was just saying, I’m like man, we gotta go out there and we gotta do us better. In some instances we didn’t do that, in some instances we did. We just gotta keep going man. Next offseason, getting guys together, everybody just coming together and just keep building that team chemistry and getting past this hump.”
