I can buy blisters; it's not that uncommon early in the season with new cleats and it was his right foot. But if you watch closely, he has a slight limp on his left leg, which is the one he had surgery on. I'd worry a lot more about that than the blisters on the right.

CJ trashing AR
That's interesting talk from a guy who's been in the league one year, and has one playoff win by beating a decimated Browns team with Flacco at QB. CJ probably thinks winning a Superb Owl is easy. Although, it beats me why Stroud is running his mouth when he doesn't have any rings. Not that I disagree with some of what he said, but do you really want to put yourself on the "I piss on HOF players" list this early in your career?
Win a MVP and an Owl, then come back and talk some smack.
Until then, Stroud's opinion is shit.
Well, now I hope Diggs ruins this kid. Canât wait to watch that unfold and ya know 12 will have a zinger when the time is right.
The rumored event important to AR is a golf event 
#Jets coach Robert Saleh told reporters that QB Aaron Rodgers is not at minicamp today, an unexcused absence that is subject to fines. Saleh said it was for an event "important to him."

He is actually 8 now.ð
So he's lost 4.
From Fan Rumor:
With respect to Reddick, Rodgersâ unexcused absence is of course the much bigger story.
Many fans are left rolling their eyes wondering what exactly is happening. After all, Rodgers is the one who spoke about the importance of everyone being âall-inâ and spending every waking moment focused on bettering the team.
Yet here we are with MANDATORY minicamp upon us, and Rodgers is a no-show.
Naturally, many fans are worried that Rodgers is abusing the unprecedented power that the organization giftwrapped him when they traded for him a year ago.
So when it comes to Rodgers it's, "Do as I say, not what I do!!"
Are you saying Rodgers is a hypocrite?ðą
I guess you could say that among many many other names.

To be fair, Rodgers never specified what one should be winning. Apparently he meant golf.
Certainly fair to question his commitment to football at present (a point made by Kuhn).
@ammo posted:I guess you could say that among many many other names.
Everyone who has kids
To be fair, a bunch of our vets are also missing mandatory minicamp, but LaFleur was the one who said they could take the time off because they put in the extra effort during OTA's. So it's an excused absence from the coach.
But for Saleh to say Rodgers is unexcused, well, it means either they want him there and he decided to do something else, or Saleh is too dumb to just say he was "excused for a personal matter" or something.
Aaron Rodgers is skipping all of Jets mandatory minicamp this week because he prefers to be somewhere else away from football. That's his choice.

And a pretty good one at that
Maybe this is all a ruse - Rodgers pisses off the NY media to get the "nobody believes in me" chip on his shoulder so he can then prove everyone wrong. He's actually a genius.
One thing that is pretty obvious - Rodgers has zero respect for Saleh. Can a team really win when the QB doesn't respect the head coach? Get your popcorn, it's going to be fun in NY this season.
So, when is AR announcing he's retiring?

@Pikes Peak posted:Which time? My guess is he retires a couple of times. Precedent rules.
"Something's bound to happen."
That analysis is what we've been saying for years- AR would rather play hero ball than stay within the structure of the offense.
Aaron Rodgers planned this trip when he was still rehabbing. The #Jets have known about it from the moment there was an overlap with the release of the minicamp schedule.
Rodgers is "unexcused" because you can't excuse a trip, but not a contract dispute (Haason Reddick).Semantics, but there's no unrest inside the building. The Jets don't think it's a big deal, not sure why the world is reacting differently. Rodgers missing these two days (after being at every voluntary workout the last two years) will have zero impact on what the #NYJ/Rodgers accomplish this coming season.

When I first started to see the headlines and hear the endless speculation begin, my initial thought was what if he's seeking treatment for an injury that was related to his "blisters"?
Although it would be out of the ordinary for the Jets to report that, trying to cover up news of a serious injury, related to the Achilles or not, would likewise have certain benefits.
It just doesn't have a 'f-it' or 'f-you' vibe to it.
But, what do I know?

55 TDs, nearly 8000 yds from scrimmage, $72M in earnings and a couple of truly Legendary Plays, including a hail mary reception vs Giants.
Heck of a career (so far)
Pro Football Reference has him with a total AV of 80, puts him in the top 400 players All-Time in the NFL. That's pretty cool
Here's a screenshot of the guys drafted just before and after Cobb, seems like GB got a good one. Thanks for everything 18, Heath will wear it with pride
I love the way Cobb was just a Bear killer, both in that Soldier field game to get in the playoffs and the long TD to win the Arod injury game.
Speaking of Cobb, he and his family are lucky to be alive after a Tesla charger started a fire in their garage.

I think Tom Brady seems like someone who might be very comfortable exploring every pharmaceutical assistance available to extend his career. 8 seems more dedicated to the natural way of things. The hardest thing at that age is going to be the recovery. 8 is always game to take the hit to make the play. He has all the ability to play fast, but his stubbornness to show his talent at extending plays wins out more than it should. Going to be fascinating to see how much he tries to turn it up to 11. It can't work at that age.

I used to work closely with firefighters, in a previous life, and they all had concerns about working on plug-in hybrid cars. This was before today's EVs were being mass produced. The firefighters were more concerned with hybrid EV crashes, than they were with EV fires. The guys I talked to had concerns about using their jaws-of-life extricating tools on a hybrid EV crashed vehicle. Electrocution was their main concern. New technology brings new problems, with it and eventually solutions to those problems are discovered.
Oh boo hoo. Rodgers gets stepped on. Maybe he needs to be quicker moving his feet, or be at all the OTAs instead of out golfing. I have no sympathy.
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) â Aaron Rodgers was downright ticked off. The New York Jets quarterback took the snap, started to drop back and ended up sprawled on the grass after one of his offensive linemen stepped on one of his feet. Rodgers shouted. He wasnât hurt, but he was angry. Monday was the first practice in full pads and the Jets' offense was sloppy. Tight end Tyler Conklin acknowledged it was a little frustrating, but said the offense can learn from days like that. Center Joe Tippmann has been struggling with some of his shotgun snaps, something coach Robert Saleh says needs to be fixed.
Just throw $100 million at Bahk.
@Pikes Peak posted:5 snaps?
The fifth was his Achilles.
ESPN was making a big deal about this. Seems like a minor deal to me but I could also see these two going off on each other later in the year if things don't go as planned.
Enjoyed this.
Rodgers knows that this is probably the last year he'll have of anything approaching high-quality play. After the past several years, he needs to finish with the Superb Owl or all fans will recall are the darkness retreat, "interesting" girlfriends, ayahuasca, missing OTAs and preseasons, the Achilles, etc.
Looking forward to 8's inevitable press conference shade of Saleh this season.

Here the full interview
From a new book about #12âĶ..
Aaron Rodgers âcould roll out of bed and create a news cycle. Heâs unbelievable. Heâs a content machineâ. Itâs true and itâs why the bestselling sportswriter Ian OâConnor is talking to the Guardian from his home in the New York area, where Rodgers, a Green Bay Packers great, now plays quarterback for the Jets. OâConnorâs new book, Out of the Darkness, tells Rodgersâ story from childhood in California through college stardom at Berkeley to Super Bowl glory and on to something beyond fame â a sort of infamy, even.
Rodgers, OâConnor says, âwas not this polarizing figure until really about three years ago when Covid hit and he was in the middle of a press conference in August â21, and when he was asked if he was vaccinated, he said, âYeah, Iâve been immunized.â Up until that point, he was not a villain at all.
âHe was considered a socially aware athlete. He had spoken up on behalf of Colin Kaepernick and his right to protest inequities in American society. He had supported the athletesâ right to kneel during the national anthem. Right after the terrorist attacks in Paris [in 2015], a fan yelled out an anti-Muslim slur, and he rebuked that fan âĶ he was not this polarizing figure. People looked up to him.
https://www.theguardian.com/sp...-conspiracy-theories
In the old days, Rodgers was saying things the sportswriters like. Now he's saying things they don't like, which is somehow suddenly magically "polarizing".
Yes. And some people suddenly turn black.
I see what you did there.

Think that game's in London. Just saying.
Well, there's a convenient excuse for when they lose to Rodgers again.
I'm curious if he'll play within the system or just hero ball everything.
.
.
Nevermind.
I think to Rodgers, playing "within the system" would not only make him feel less in control and be less fun, it would be an implicit acknowledgement that he is older and can't play hero ball anymore. His ego won't let him do it. It would hurt too much.
There's a Vanity Fair article out about Rodgers and the book. You can look it up.
This thread is about football and here's the end of the article.
----------------
When you look at their roster, if theyâre healthy, they can compete for the Super Bowl. I think what they should focus on is just winning the division. Itâs been so long since theyâve won the AFC East. They really need to focus on that and then take it from there. But Iâll say the Jets will go 11-6. Theyâll make the playoffs and theyâll lose the AFC Championship Game at Kansas City. Howâs that?
