Everyone will get to see the new-look Jets with Geno Smith at quarterback and some of their additions, such as rookie pass rusher David Bailey and veteran defenders Demario Davis and Minkah Fitzpatrick.<\/p>\n<p>The Buccaneers are not expected to play many, if any, starters. Quarterback Baker Mayfield definitely will not play, Bucs coach Todd Bowles announced.<\/p>\n<p>The Jets and Buccaneers had two fight-filled joint practices in Florham Park this week. That is unlikely to spill over into the preseason game, where the penalties would actually count.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>For Glenn, this is a chance to get his guys on the field. The Jets have many new players and also two new play-callers. Glenn is calling the defense this season and Frank Reich is the team\u2019s new offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have two new systems that are going in and I think it\u2019s important for our guys to play,\u201d Glenn said. \u201cNow, there was science behind this also, as far as having joint practices, and trying to get the guys, at least throughout the preseason, 25-30 reps, and I\u2019m talking about [combined in] all three games. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><button class=\"button button--modal-trigger\" aria-label=\"Open the image in a modal.\"

Just all the things of real football, not two-hand touch or thud, just to feel the game again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Running back Breece Hall said he is looking forward to getting tackled, something that is not allowed in practice. The Jets do something called \u201cthud\u201d where a tackler wraps up the ball carrier quickly and then lets go.
