With the Jets reeling and fresh off a two-game losing streak, injured quarterback Aaron Rodgers addressed the current state of the team, and specifically the offense. While Rodgers has never been one to mince words, he was candid with his opinion of how the offense has handled the adversity and also offered some advice for his teammates.
“There’s some heated conversations on the sideline and different things. I think we need to hold our poise a little bit better—really just offensively. We need to not have some of those things happen on the sideline and to be a little better and be a little better competitors,” Rodgers said on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show.
“I think there’s been too many little side conversations and we just need to grow up a little bit on offense and lock in and do our jobs—everybody. And not point fingers, and that’s everybody,” Rodgers continued. “We don’t point fingers at the coaching staff, don’t point fingers at each other, just get back to work and get the job done. It sucks not being there, it’s tough, it’s really hard … I feel like if I was there some of those things wouldn’t be happening … it’s more of the side stuff that I don’t like, that I want to see us stick together through the tough times.”
