The #Jets should have a vested interest in the "Tush Push" vote: Since entering the league in 2021, Justin Fields has run 12 push sneaks, converting 11, per ESPN Research. Only two QBs have done it more often: Jalen Hurts -- 86-for-100 Josh Allen -- 50-for-55

Aaron Glenn says they had 100% attendance yesterday for OTA No. 1, and he suspects it was 100% again today. Noting these are voluntary workouts, he says it's a positive sign when the best players show up every day. Notes that Garrett Wilson has been a 100% participant. #Jets

A few observations from today's first open OTA practice: * The #Jets had perfect attendance or close to it. Let's put it this way: Every player that matters was on the field. Mind you, these are voluntary workouts. Afterward, Aaron Glenn said it's a sign of a positive culture

A defensive meltdown of epic proportions by the Knicks, who allowed 33 points in the last seven minutes (4th Q and OT). Unbelievable. #Knicks
