Coach Glenn on Geno Smith's Week 1 performance: "I thought he did an outstanding job" https://t.co/Vf89QIbH3k Via @nyjets on X

What happened: Coach Glenn said Geno Smith did an outstanding job in Week 1. Smith completed 19 of 24 passes for 215 yards with no touchdowns, no interceptions and a 104.0 passer rating.

Why it matters: The early review puts the emphasis on accuracy and ball security after an opener that moved the offense without a touchdown pass. It also keeps the spotlight on Smith's low-cost move, already treated as an early quarterback judgment test last week.

By the numbers: Smith completed 79.2% of his passes in Week 1 and averaged 9.0 yards per attempt on 24 throws. His line: 215 yards, 0 touchdowns, 0 interceptions, 104.0 passer rating.

What to watch: Week 2 will show whether that efficiency starts turning into touchdown production after a clean opener.
