Jets owner Woody Johnson’s comments about quarterback Justin Fields made headlines Tuesday, but none of them made it to Fields himself.
That’s what Fields told several reporters during a press session Wednesday, that he hadn’t heard Johnson’s comments. These comments credit head coach Aaron Glenn for changing some things for the team, but “it’s tough when you have a quarterback with a note he hasand that “if we can just make a pass, that would look good.” ยป
Fields said he was not bothered by the comments when they were relayed to him by reporters and that Johnson has the right to share his opinion.
Johnson’s comments came two days after Fields was benched in favor of Tyrod Taylor at halftime of a loss to the Panthers and it appeared an announcement of a lasting quarterback change was coming as well. Head coach Aaron Glenn declined to name a starter against the Bengals on Wednesday, however, and Fields said he and Taylor both took reps with the first team during practice.
