Aaron Rodgers with the New York Jets, take two.
As the Jets prepare to head to San Francisco to face the 49ers in Week 1, the palpable energy surrounding the team in 2023 is renewed, if not revved up even more. Joe Douglas has built a formidable roster on both sides of the ball with legitimate Super Bowl aspirations.
What can stand in their way? How good can this team be?
Jets X-Factor’s Joe Blewett joined The Score Boord Podcast to discuss whether the excitement is legitimate and how realistic the expectations are. Blewett brings a unique perspective to the table, having broken down every snap of many of the Jets players from last season or even further back.
We talked about the elephant in the room at length — Haason Reddick’s holdout and how it will affect the Jets. Is Reddick really a luxury? Will he show up in Week 1? Who can possibly take his place? Who should take his place?
