Nathaniel Hackett is pumped about the New York Jets offense

There is enthusiasm from New York Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett as he heads into his second season with the offense.

Hackett’s enthusiasm is likely based on the anticipation that Aaron Rodgers is back. If the future Hall of Fame quarterback can stay on the field and be healthy, then the Jets have a good chance of reversing their record from a year ago.

And a unit that was No. 31 in the NFL in total offense and third-worst in passing offense projects to be much improved with Rodgers in the pocket.

“Anytime you’re in a second-year offense, it’s a completely different feel from when you first start,” Hackett said via the team’s website (h/t Jack Bell of NYJets.com).

“You are installing plays – you are installing alignments and you are talking about guys just trying to understand what they’re doing. Now you can really detail it up. You can talk about the intricacies of the route (and) you can experiment with new plays, new motions, all kinds of different fun things.”
