Jets Struggle With Penalties, Passing In Training Camp Scrimmages

The New York Jets' first live scrimmage of the 2025 training camp highlighted ongoing struggles with penalties and offensive cohesion, continuing issues that have plagued the team for years. The Jets committed 12 penalties during the session, many pre-snap infractions, reflecting discipline problems that head coach Aaron Glenn emphasized need urgent correction. Quarterback Justin Fields showed promise with his running ability but struggled with passing accuracy, completing only two of ten attempts and taking multiple sacks, which contributed to the offense's ineffectiveness and fan frustration. Despite these challenges, Glenn praised Fields' mobility and remains optimistic about improvements as players refine their techniques to reduce penalties. Meanwhile, the offensive line faces instability due to injuries and a controversial position change, with Joe Tippmann moving from center to left guard, raising questions given his strong performance and the comparatively poor showing of his replacement, Josh Myers. Additionally, practice observations noted Nick Folk's successful kicking return and early positive signs from new offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, though the offense remains inconsistent and key players like Quinnen Williams and Braelon Allen are dealing with injuries.
