He highlighted his wish for the squad to avoid the blame game and to face adversity with greater resilience.

Jets’ Aaron Rodgers On Leaked Pregame Address: “One of the more disappointing things “

Interestingly, Rodgers returned to the Jets’ training camp last week, just a few days after his comments on McAfee’s show. On the day before their game against the Chiefs, he addressed his players, emphasizing a message that matched his earlier remarks. Rodgers, on the other hand, is a great believer in team privacy and was upset that the specifics of his address were made public.

“I will say this, you know when it comes to some of the stuff I talked about, I think that was one of the more disappointing things about the entire weekend is that, you know, part of the process of being a team that’s connected and being a team that sticks together is that there’s something things that are meant for the locker room, and conversations that should stay in the meeting room, should stay in the locker room, should stay in the hotel,” Rodgers said on Tuesday.

“… We need to learn as organizations that some things need to be kept in-house. We got to tighten the ship up a little bit.”

The comments came after a turbulent week for the Jets, which saw several players outburst at staff on the sidelines after an embarrassing Week 3 defeat to the Patriots.

Third-year quarterback Zach Wilson has also faced a barrage of criticism for his performance, including from Jets veteran Joe Namath.

However, the team’s second-round selection in 2021 delivered an excellent performance against the Chiefs, throwing two touchdowns and zero interceptions on “Sunday Night Football.”

Wilson blamed himself for the 23-20 defeat due to a costly fourth-quarter fumble, but his teammates gathered in support of the beleaguered quarterback.

Despite his worries regarding team anonymity, Rodgers noted a noticeable positive improvement in the squad’s chemistry, stating that he feels a “better energy” with the Jets. However, he was keen to point out that, while their previous performance against the Chiefs was hard-fought, it could not be viewed as a moral win for the club given the expectations.
