Aaron Rodgers may be new to the New York Jets this season, but he’s no stranger to leading a formidable offense. For him, a little time and continuity could be the keys to giving “Gang Green” just that.
The 2010 Super Bowl MVP has yet to play this preseason, but he believes the struggles of his offensive line are a “work in progress,” and he has a “pretty low” level of concern when it comes to them.
This response from Rodgers comes after a week of questions surrounding the Jets following the most recent episode of HBO’s “Hard Knocks.” After a 21-16 preseason loss to the Browns and training camp woes on the offensive side, head coach Robert Saleh challenged the “big boys up front” ahead of a matchup against the Carolina Panthers using some harsh words.
“Offense, guys, it was our first f—ing opportunity to change the stink that’s been in this organization for a very long time on the offensive side of the ball. You can have a Hall of Fame quarterback, two $10 million-plus receivers, a reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year, all kinds of s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 in the running back room and none of it f—ing matters until the big boys up front change who the f— we are.”
The team went on to beat the Panthers 27-0, but reports of struggles continued on Wednesday following the team’s joint practice session with the Buccaneers, who they face on Saturday.
