‘I forget!’ — Aaron Glenn had the perfect response to being reminded about his role in an all-time moment between the Jets and Dolphins
They say the key to a successful cornerback is a short memory…
The New York Jets will get another crack at their first win of the 2025 season on Monday night, this time with an AFC East showcase against the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are also 0-3 on the season, so Monday night should provide some urgent football for two teams that are hungry for a win. Jets head coach Aaron Glenn has seen plenty of Monday Night Footballs in his time thanks in part to a 15-year playing carer with the Jets, Texans, Cowboys, Jaguars, and Saints.
His eight years in New York as a player brought him plenty of battles against the Dolphins, too. One of the most memorable games between these two teams was one of Glenn’s first — he was a rookie cornerback and first-round pick for the Jets back in 1994 when Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino infamously fake-spiked the ball for a game-winning touchdown pass at Glenn’s expense.
Glenn was asked about the play on Thursday and offered the perfect quip.
Aaron Glenn has the perfect one-liner to explain his role in all-time great Dolphins vs. Jets finish
Glenn was asked on Thursday about being a part of two legendary games in the Dolphins/Jets rivalry — both the Monday Night Miracle with the Jets staging the greatest fourth-quarter comeback in franchise history and being in coverage on Dan Marino’s fake spike.
“You have to remember this — I’m a corner, so I forget!”
A short memory, they say, is critical to any successful cornerback playing at a high level. Glenn turned out to do plenty well for himself as a player after that rookie run-in with Marino — and now looks to get his Jets team off the mat and into the win column against those same Dolphins all these years later.
One would have to think that with the Bengals playing in the other Monday night contest without QB Joe Burrow, everyone would love to see some similar fireworks at the end of this game to further raise the stakes and generate maximum interest in a slate of games that needs some help in that department. If this Week 4 matchup comes down to the wire, there’s no need to worry about Glenn having flashbacks. He’s forgotten about those bad memories a long time ago — just ask him.
