Aaron Rodgers: We have to start faster, let our defense play with a lead
Aaron Rodgers has emphasized the need for the New York Jets to start games faster, particularly as they prepare for their upcoming matchup against the New England Patriots.
After a strong finish in their Week 2 victory over the Tennessee Titans, where he led a crucial touchdown drive, Rodgers pointed out that the team has been starting slowly in their first two games.
He stated, "We've got to start faster, put something together in the first 15 [plays], give our defense a chance to play with a lead." This approach is critical for allowing the Jets' defense to operate effectively and maintain control of the game.
Despite scoring three touchdowns in each of their first two games—something they hadn't accomplished since 2004—Rodgers believes there is still room for improvement.
He remarked, "It’d be a boondoggle to keep doing the same thing over and over and expect different results," indicating that adjustments are necessary for the offense to reach its full potential
As they prepare for the Patriots, who have historically dominated this rivalry
Rodgers is focused on establishing a strong offensive presence from the outset to support his defense and enhance their chances of success.
