Aaron Rodgers finally received some positive news following Monday night’s heartbreaking 20-23 loss to the Buffalo Bills. After weeks of speculation, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams will finally reunite with his former Green Bay Packers quarterback in New York.
But can Adams be the solution to the New York Jets’ offensive struggles? On Tuesday’s episode of the “Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers had this to say about Adams:
Now, with two star receivers on the roster, opposing defenses will struggle to cover both, but Rodgers might also face difficulty deciding who to target. Given his stronger chemistry with Adams, Garrett Wilson could see fewer passes coming his way.
“He infuses a lot of energy into the team right away. He’s a proven star player. I think he’s really gonna help Garrett out. I think when you can be around a guy who’s done it at a high level for a long time. There’ll be a lot of things he’ll be able to pick up.”
However, Garrett Wilson didn’t seem too concerned about Davante Adams joining the team. He shared the following message on Twitter on Tuesday:
Teammate Braelon Allen tweeted that the roster now resembled an elite Madden team and that there were no excuses for losing more games.
Aaron Rodgers responds to fans accusing him of throwing a teammate under the bus
Pat McAfee also questioned Aaron Rodgers about why he called out wide receiver Mike Williams for his game-sealing interception during the post-game media conference. Rodgers clarified that he holds himself to the highest standards and expects the same from his teammates. He emphasized that he’s not afraid to be honest about performance.
“I think if you watch my press conferences, I started with myself when I made mistakes,” he said. “You know, I got to play better. That’s the standard for everybody. I was too vertical to the right side, and Mike needed to get to the red line, which would have been a big gain. So I wasn’t calling Mike out for anything other than his responsibility and the details in that play.”
Can the Jets, led by Rodgers, finally make a deep playoff run this season? Or will all these changes still leave them looking like the “same ol’ Jets”?
