It&#8217;s always about the details. The coach knows it. The players know it. Nothing earth-shattering. But plenty to see here.<\/p>\n<p>In last Friday night&#8217;s preseason opener against Tampa Bay at MetLife Stadium, the initial defense that HC Aaron Glenn ran out turned in a strong performance in its limited time on the field. After practice on Monday ahead of this coming Friday&#8217;s game at Pittsburgh, Glenn complimented second-year CB <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break:break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkjets.com\/team\/players-roster\/azareye-h-thomas\/\" title=\"Azareye&#039;h Thomas\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Azareye&#8217;h Thomas<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, I was very encouraged by the way he played in the game,&#8221; Glenn said after the day&#8217;s morning session at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center. &#8220;And listen, he&#8217;s a 6-1, 200-pound man with long arms [32\u215c]. And the one thing I wanted to see him do was really disrupt the routes. And he did a really good job of that in man coverage. We had a very limited menu, and man, he went out there and executed exactly how I thought he should. Now, is he where he needs to be? Not at all. But man, that improvement speaks a ton about how he&#8217;s gone about training camp.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After missing the final 5 games last season after sustaining a shoulder injury in the Week 14 game against Miami, the Florida State product who was selected by the Jets in the Round 3 (No. 73 overall) in the 2025 NFL Draft, Thomas had returned to the field with renewed intent and dedication. Though he played a limited number of snaps (8, 13%; plus 3, 11% on special teams) against the Bucs, he liked what he saw and how it felt.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel like we played pretty solid,&#8221; Thomas said on Monday. &#8220;Feel like we, of course, had some mistakes out there, which is expected to be the way to be in the first preseason game. But overall, I feel like we did pretty good.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Details. It&#8217;s always about the details. The coach knows it. The players know it.
