Colin Cowherd, known for his straightforward opinions, had some blunt words about the Jets’ situation in the offensive end. He expressed worry about the offensive line, saying, “Aaron lived the real Jets QB life yesterday… This franchise is a Duane Brown injury at left tackle from being a mess”.
Cowherd emphasized that Rodgers will play behind a “duct-taped offensive line”. Not only this, Cowherd pointed out that Rodgers had the privilege of strong offensive lines during his time with the Green Bay Packers. Some of them even ranked among the top 10. His exact words while taking a jibe were, “Aaron [Rodgers] Left a Really Well Run Company For a Poorly Run Company”.

People have been joking about Aaron Rodgers being ‘The Coach’ of the New York Jets, but as a die-hard Jets fan, I can tell you this is gonna be mostly true.
Rodgers likes Nathaniel Hackett because he gives him freedom & control. Robert Saleh is a DC & motivator.
