What happened

Aaron Glenn did his best to keep up the facade after Friday night’s preseason opener.

Why it matters

The Jets coach was fielding question after question about how rookie quarterback Cade Klubnik performed in his first game and surely Glenn could sense the excitement building around the fourth-round pick.

Common ground

“Don’t get it twisted at all, we’re still in a competition,” Glenn said.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Oversimplification: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
