Aaron Rodgers-led Jets offense takes it to Giants in joint practice
NY Post
Aaron Rodgers and the Jets offense certainly don’t look as if they need a final preseason tuneup to be ready for the first game of the regular season Sept. 9 against the 49ers.
Rodgers positively picked apart the Giants first-string defense in a one-sided joint practice Wednesday in Florham Park.
The 40-year-old quarterback threw four touchdown passes, including two long ones to Garrett Wilson in 11-on-11 drills, to the delight of the fans in attendance at the team’s practice facility.
“That is my favorite part of the day when we go up against other teams, to be ready for that two-minute period, and to be able to see the offense do their thing,” Pro Bowl cornerback Sauce Gardner said after practice. “It’s like, you know when Garrett’s getting the ball. Obviously I go up against him all the time, so it’s like you’re watching the other color jersey on the other side, and you’re like, ‘Garrett’s getting the ball.’ The way they were operating the two-minute drill, it looked crazy. I don’t want to get too ahead of myself, I know they’re probably gonna have big heads walking into the facility tomorrow, but it was crazy.”
Gardner went up against impressive Giants rookie receiver Malik Nabers during the session, and he waved good-bye to the Giant sideline after the rout was completed.
Gardner also called Rodgers — the four-time MVP returning after suffering a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 1 last year — “the best quarterback I’ve ever seen, and I’m not saying that just because he’s on my team.”
