Glenn emphasized the importance of live game reps to build chemistry and evaluate progress under new offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand. Players and coaches alike have embraced the more competitive, aggressive preseason approach. Cornerback Sauce Gardner and others welcomed the change, reflecting strong team buy-in to Glenn’s new philosophy.
