AFC East news: Jets O-line making life miserable for Aaron Rodgers
It’s being downplayed by the team, but reports of positive play from the Jets offensive line has been hard to come by.
The Jets have gone through workouts with the Buccaneers in recent days. The mainstay is that the Bucs’ defensive line is dominating the Jets in the trenches.
While adding quarterback Aaron Rodgers will undoubtedly be an upgrade, if he has no time to throw the ball, it’s not going to be a productive offense for the Jets. It’s still early, but some updates are… yikes… if you’re a Jets fan.
But if you’re here, you’re probably a Bills fan and would relish that news.
So have at it.
Here’s a collection of reports on the Jets’ recent struggles:
Jets O-line struggles
Ugly. The #Jets drive-the-field drill ends after back-to-back sacks by Joe Tryon-Shoyinka. In this period I had the #NYJ running 10 plays. The #Bucs sacked Aaron Rodgers on three of his seven drop-backs.
The Bucs have six obvious sacks in team drills today. That is not good.…

Heads up
Aaron Rodgers is doing what he can to get rid of the ball quickly but on a few occasions he’s been sacked quickly and simply threw it away. (They’re not calling sacks) #Jets

Only three
Aaron Rodgers has no time to throw behind this makeshift oline (no AVT or Tomlinson). The last set of team drills included Rodgers throwing the ball in the stands deliberately after 3 Bucs would have sacked him, a false start and Rodgers sprinting away from another would be sack.

Sad Aaron
Brian Burns just got around Max Mitchell for an easy sack against Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers was not happy about it. #Jets

Sounds familiar
Practice is over. A brutal day for the offense. Pass protection nonexistent. Penalties an issue. #Jets d had a strong finish, stopping Kyle Trask and Bucs in their own territory in 2 min move the ball drill. Very chippy. Lots of scuffles. Not sure if there were punches thrown.

Overwhelmingly? Is that bad?
The #Jets had their final joint practice of training camp on Wednesday against the #Bucs. Here are a few takeaways.
– Robert Saleh & Aaron Rodgers did their best to downplay the issues on the offensive line. They were overwhelmingly evident, though. The combination of Max… pic.twitter.com/xOlVzYfGTn

Not good
This has been a very, very rough practice for the #Jets starting offense. They went 3-and-out on both drive-the-field drills. Now Rodgers overthrows Hardman & is picked off by Whitehead. Poor protection isn’t helping. #NYJ
