Aaron Rodgers believes he has chanced on the fountain youth – but all his Fresh York Jets teammates want is the likelihood to let him ‘be Aaron Rodgers.’
After 5 consecutive defeats, the Jets sit at 2-6 and are on the brink of yet one other losing season, the lunge has to slay somewhere and the next slay is a return to MetLife Stadium.
But it unquestionably’s one other High Time showdown for ‘Gang Green’, who face the Houston Texans on Thursday Night time.
5 of their first 9 games were on both Thursday, Monday or Sunday Night time Soccer – as their disappointments this season play out in very visible fashion.
Any other used to be the hole sport of the NFL’s three-week jaunt for the duration of the pond in London.

It has all cranked up the stress on a franchise who beget no longer had a profitable season since 2015 and perhaps unfairly came into 2024 with the load of Keen Bowl expectation.
Head Coach Robert Saleh paid the worth by losing his job, but since his firing the Jets beget misplaced all three games below Jeff Ullbrich and offensive kind out Morgan Moses knows the avid gamers beget to rob extra accountability.
“Players produce plays and coaches coach,” Moses completely informed talkSPORT’s Will Gavin.
“Whatever it be known as, whatever we smash the huddle with, the belief is to enact to the correct of our ability and that is the reason what we now were doing all week.
“It’s been a immediate week of be aware, but a substantial week of be aware and execution and a few really heavy talks about having a look your self in the replicate and search the procedure you would possibly perhaps perhaps figure this thing out for your self, man to man.”
Moses job on the offensive line is to search after Rodgers, and allow him to produce plays.
Whereas the Jets offense hasn’t reasonably caught fire, Rodgers has 1,896 yards and 12 touchdowns but uncharacteristically seven interceptions as receivers and quarterback beget struggled to catch on the same page.
Moses believes the advent of Davante Adams helps that: “He’s a one-of-a-kind abilities and clearly I got a number of love for him as a consequence of he’s a man that got drafted in my class.
“Anytime you search a man that is 11 years in the league and is amassed doing it at a high stage, man, you rob your hat off to that as a consequence of it be keen.
“What he brings as a professional, what he’s bringing to the receiver room to educate Garrett and all these youthful receivers; operate in a fashion that they’ve to operate. It’s been an swish thing.”

Rodgers is getting back from a yr out with a torn Achilles, but it’s been the same outdated bumps and bruises that come as par for the direction as a quarterback which were limiting him in practise.
The 40-yr-outdated introduced on one other dawdle this week when he published that teammate Thomas Morstead has introduced him to a concoction designed to reduction ease the aches and effort.
“T-Mo gave me a little fountain of youth he said he’s been taking for a while,” Rodgers, who isn’t any stranger to experimental remedies, informed journalists at some level of his media availability.
“All legal, of course. He’s been taking like cayenne pepper and water, so he gave me some before the game.”
It’s all part of the Rodgers experience. An experience that also happens to be one of the best quarterbacks of all time.
The former Green Bay Packers signal-caller is not used to being in a team playing catch up, but with nine games left the Jets will have to win at least six to have even a slim hope of a playoff push.
Rodgers has argued there is plenty of football still to play, and Moses knows that giving the four-time MVP the chance to make the plays is likely to prove crucial.
“His approach is unbelievable and what he does on the field and off the field for the guys is something that you really can’t even talk about because it’s unmatched.

“We know what he brings to the table and it’s for us to take some of that pressure off his plate by trying to run the ball, staying out of that 2nd and 10, 2nd and 12 and just operating smoothly and moving these sticks.
“When we call on Aaron to be Aaron, he can play freely. He can play ball like he like he wants to – we know what we got back there at that quarterback spot.
“For us to operate in the in a fashion to ensure that we’re getting the correct out of him and no longer striking him in a hole by being in third and 13 and third and 14.”
The Jets are in a hole of their own making, but Moses is the latest player to call on the players to make it count, but time is running out.
