Since they locked arms in January, Mougey and Glenn have shared the same philosophy in team building.
"Right away, the vision and the language that we were using for both sides of the ball, establishing the run and playing fast and physical on defense was a theme," he said.
Glenn has continually set the tone for the players throughout the summer. After his team's 31-12 loss to the Giants Saturday night, Glenn said his team was "sloppy" and "undisciplined" and that they need to rise to a standard.
"His passion, you feel it every day and you said it – he's direct," Mougey said. "When he said he's going to fix it, he's going to fix it. It's awesome to work with him every day, to see him lead these guys and they respond. He challenges them every day and you see these players respond."
Mougey and Glenn and their respective staffs are entering a critical nine-day stretch. The Jets will practice on Tuesday and Wednesday before breaking camp. They'll complete the preseason Friday night against the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles at MetLife Stadium. Next Tuesday (Aug. 26), all 32 NFL clubs have to reduce their rosters to 53 players. The following day (Aug. 27), teams can begin to form their practice squads of 16 players.
"We're evaluating everything and everybody top to bottom, and evaluating the rest of the league too," Mougey said. "So, it's a busy time of year but it's a fun time of year. These next two weeks are big for a lot of guys around the league."
