The New York Jets have been one of the most discussed teams in the NFL for the past year.
After acquiring Aaron Rodgers, the Jets have been the talk of the town, despite continuing their playoff drought heading into 2024.
Rodgers was hurt for the vast majority of the 2023 season, so his potential impact on the team last year was unrealized.
As he and his teammates prepare for 2024, Rodgers is trying to ensure that everyone is on the same page and that they can put everything together that they’ve been working for.
Practice can be frustrating for any player, even for a veteran like Rodgers.
After the Jets’ latest practice, according to an ESPN article via Rich Cimini, Allen Lazard commented on Rodgers’ thoughts, saying, “Honestly, he expects the same standard that he holds himself to out of everyone else, and today just didn’t resemble that at all. I think as an offense we were just a bit sloppy.”
Sloppy is not a word that has described Rodgers throughout his career.
Quite the opposite as Rodgers has been known to be meticulous in his training and on-field regimens.
He might have some questionable things going on off the field, but on the field, Rodgers remains a stern, solid competitor.
Whether he’s working with a day-one rookie or an established veteran, he has high hopes for everyone on his team, and when they are unable to meet those hoops as a unit, bad things could happen for them moving forward.
