Clock management issues and 2-minute troubles are giving Aaron Glenn and the Jets a tough time

Coach Aaron Glenn's time with the New York Jets seems to be running out. The Jets sit at 2-5 after a 28-25 loss to the previously winless Miami Dolphins.

Early defensive struggles against an offense that was among the NFL's worst were an issue, as was poor play-calling at the goal line with a chance to tie the game. Glenn's mismanagement of the clock and his timeouts in two-minute situations have been a recurring theme in his 24-game tenure.

Glenn acknowledged the Jets' struggles, saying, "We've got to do a better job and I have to do better job." He attributed the issues to a lack of execution, stating, "I have to improve on, on both sides, how we manufacture these things."

Glenn also expressed frustration with the fans, players, and himself, but emphasized that the team will continue to work on improving. The Jets have been outscored 107-6 in the final two minutes of the first half during the last two seasons.

In the latest game, the Dolphins scored a 91-yard drive with 6 seconds left before halftime, which ended with a 2-yard touchdown run by Malik Willis. Glenn said he didn't use his timeouts because he thought his defense would stop the Dolphins, but later stated that he should have used them.

The Jets have a few bright spots, including rookie Omar Cooper Jr. , who had five catches for 115 yards and a touchdown against Miami.

Cooper said he's grateful to have played two games and feels like he and Geno Smith are connecting well. The team also needs to find ways to get No.

1 wide receiver Garrett Wilson the football more consistently. Other issues include the curious calls by offensive coordinator Frank Reich on first-and-goal at the 1 in the fourth quarter and the Jets down 21-14.

Fullback/tight end Andrew Beck had a season-high five catches for 62 yards and his first two-touchdown game. The team also needs to address the health of several players, including DT T'Vondre Sweat, who left Sunday with a knee injury.
