Wilks OUT! Jets' Defense Gets a Much-Needed TKO!

Description: BT reacts to the news that the Jets have fired defensive coordinator Steve Wilks following a string of "embarrassingly inept" performances, including a 48-20 blowout loss to the Jaguars where the defense looked like they "didn't even want to tackle." While not celebrating the firing, BT calls it the "right move" and criticizes Head Coach Aaron Glenn for his "awful" personnel decisions, specifically highlighting the hiring of Wilks and the catastrophic Justin Fields QB trade—both significant "Xs" on Glenn's resume. Tierney also offers a small dose of optimism, analyzing three distinct, radically different quarterback paths for the Jets next year, and offers some hope that undrafted rookie Brady Cook has shown enough moxie for the team to consider developing him.
