NY Jets film breakdown: Is OC Tanner Engstrand a problem?

The New York Jets dropped to 0-7 in familiar fashion: A great defensive performance being wasted by an inept offense.

Even a quarterback change wasn’t enough to spark the Jets’ offense. After Aaron Glenn finally succumbed to the pressure to bench Justin Fields, New York still couldn’t score a touchdown across two quarters with Tyrod Taylor, who tossed a pair of interceptions.

The Jets’ offense has gone six straight games without a first-half touchdown, including two straight games with no touchdowns at all. As the struggles drag on regardless of who is on the field, it’s time to wonder: Is Jets offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand in over his head?

Glenn and his press conferences are another topic; we’re here to judge coaches based on the film. From what we can see from the All-22, is Engstrand putting the Jets’ players in a good position to succeed? Or have the Jets hired another lowly offensive coordinator?

We’re here to answer those questions (and many more) in the latest Blewett’s Blitz film review.

Using the next 10 games to answer those questions will be pivotal for the Jets’ future. Whether Glenn returns or not, they must make a decision on Engstrand at the OC spot. With a rookie quarterback on his way, the Jets can’t afford to put him in the hands of the wrong offensive coach.

Meanwhile, the Jets’ defense trended up for the second straight game. Which players have sparked the turnaround? Is it sustainable? Should Steve Wilks be absolved from Jets fans’ criticism?

Whatever answer you’re looking for about the New York Jets, we can find it on the film.

Join us in breaking down the most critical takeaways from the Jets-Panthers All-22 film in the newest edition of Blewett’s Blitz.
