Jets coach Aaron Glenn has responded to team owner Woody Johnson, who appeared to publicly shade struggling quarterback Justin Fields in comments made Tuesday. Speaking on Wednesday, Glenn said that, as an owner, it is Johnson's right to express what he is feeling, and that his remarks are pretty much in keeping with how everyone feels right now.
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters at a Wednesday press conference that he knows who will start at quarterback against the Bengals on Sunday, but he isn't planning to share that choice with the whole world at this point.
New York Jets boss Woody Johnson maintained his support for coach Aaron Glenn despite the team's winless record. However, Johnson did express concerns about Justin Fields' performance.

Jets' Aaron Glenn has another interesting back-and-forth during presser on Justin Fields
The week before Fields was benched, Glenn had a back-and-forth with a reporter during another press conference when asked if a change at QB could be made. The ensuing game, this past Sunday (just two more quarters of football), saw Fields replaced anyway.
Jets owner Woody Johnson's comments about quarterback Justin Fields made a lot of headlines on Tuesday, but none of them made their way to Fields himself.
NEW YORK — Woody Johnson was one of the last owners to show up for the start of the NFL’s fall meetings. When he finally arrived and pushed through the revolving door at the InterContinental Hotel, a crowd of reporters swarmed him. “I don’t really have any comments,” Johnson said.
Glenn benched starting quarterback Justin Fields at halftime of Sunday’s loss to the Panthers, but has yet to make a decision on who will start this weekend when the Jets travel to face the Bengals. Tyrod Taylor threw two interceptions in relief of Fields in the second half of Sunday’s loss, but the Jets moved the ball better.
Jets coach Aaron Glenn is mulling a quarterback change. If it were up to owner Woody Johnson, the Justin Fields era likely would be over.
The Jets didn't have a lot of quarterback options. Now an injury to Tyrod Taylor only complicates that. Here's a look at the depth chart.
