Aaron Rodgers wore a coaching headset in NFL Preseason opener

Instead of bathing in sideline glory, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers decided he’d wear a team headset in week 1 of NFL Preseason.

Instead of bathing in sideline glory, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers decided he’d wear a team headset in week 1 of NFL Preseason.

While Rodgers trains through tedious reps at training camp, he and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett are simultaneously spending time establishing signal calls. This is likely an explanation for Rodgers’ headset gesture.

Having spent the entire season sidelined in 2023, Rodgers and Hackett will be looking to familiarize the younger players with play calling and signals. Both Jets’ reserve quarterbacks played well in the win over the Washington Commanders and Rodgers was fully involved in the play-by-play.

In Hackett’s offense, rookie running back Braelon Allen may be used in the HB-stretch run frequently, especially as a play audible from pass & PA pass plays.

Rodgers will also have to get in sync with wide receiver Mike Williams who just returned to camp early last week.

Things will be a work in progress for Rodgers who is preparing to play at age 40. His leadership will be key this season for the New York Jets. For now, he’s prioritizing his reps as training camp continues.

New York Jets DB Jarrick Bernard-Converse looks impressive

New York Jets DB Jerrick Bernard-Converse had an impressive showing in NFL Preseason Week 1.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jaylen Daniels and his reserves enjoyed challenging New York Jets defensive back Jarrick Bernard Converse this past weekend.

The Commanders likely thought they would have an offensive field day with the Jets’ reserves. Instead, Washington discovered that Jets’ defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich has addition personnel to wreak havoc on opposing offenses this upcoming season.

Moreover, Bernard-Converse was actually lining up versus the Commanders No. 1 quarterback, and top wide receivers in their week 1 preseason match-up. Perhaps Bernard-Converse might occupy the No. 3 slot of the Jets’ defensive back depth chart this fall. If so, he may recieve more target throws with opposing quarterbacks fearful of Sauce Gardner and D.J Reed.

Fans should keep a close eye on Bernard-Congress throughout training camp, he may be destined to secure a spot as the slot corner in nickel personnel. Ultimately, Benrard-Converse showed a multifaceted skill set including closing-speed, open field tackling, and durability in NFL Preseason Week 1.

5 big takeaways from Patriots’ season-ending 17-3 loss to Jets

Here are 5 big takeaways from what may have been Bill Belichick’s final game with the Patriots

In what very well may have been Bill Belichick’s final game leading the team, the New England Patriots lost to the New York Jets in Foxborough on Sunday for the first time in 15 matchups between the two teams.

Snowy and windy conditions throughout led to the kind of old-school football that Belichick would likely revel in. The quarterbacks of both teams combined for just over 150 passing yards while New York fed running back Breece Hall over 30 carries to dominate the ground game.

Moreover, field goals made up the only scoring in the contest until a late-game Jets touchdown put New York two scores ahead of New England with just a few minutes remaining in the contest.

Here are five big takeaways from the 17-3 loss.
