Aaron Rodgers went on a ‘25-minute diatribe’ about Jets’ running game
NY Post
It sounds like Aaron Rodgers has some thoughts on how the Jets went from building a potent 1-2 combination in the backfield to looking punchless on the ground.
“Aaron and I had a conversation about, when he was with the Jets, how abysmal their running game was and how schematically it made no sense,” NFL on Fox analyst Mark Schlereth said recently on his “The Stinkin Truth” podcast, according to SteelersNow.com. “I started the conversation, and then Aaron went on for about a 25-minute diatribe on their run game.”
Rodgers counts Schlereth among his tight circle of friends.
The Jets drafted big back Braelon Allen in the fourth round in 2024 to pair with former second-round pick Breece Hall to create what they thought would be a dynamic duo.
Instead, the Jets ranked No. 31 in the NFL with 91.8 rushing yards per game, and Rodgers was often left disgusted and throwing his hands in the air when a short-yardage run failed.
The Jets had Rodgers’ friend Nathaniel Hackett as the offensive coordinator for the first five games under head coach Robert Saleh.
