Boomer Esiason highlights brewing tension between Aaron Rodgers and Robert Saleh
There has been speculation that there may be tension between Aaron Rodgers and Robert Saleh. Former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason, who now works for WFAN Sports Radio, said on Monday that he believes there is a disconnect between the coach and QB.
He used his personal experiences and relationships that he had with his coaches during his NFL career. He went on to talk about the body language and communication that he is seeing between Saleh and Rodgers. Esiason then said he had a similar experience with coaches that he didn't have good relationships with.
"I try to watch to see if I see any interactions on the sideline or anything, nothing, not that I see a guy walking right past that other guy." Esiason said on WFAN. "I remember those days because I had those days with one two coaches in particular, and it's because I didn't trust the guy and I didn't like the guy, I didn't think he knew what he was doing, and it pissed me off."
"And when I see Aaron Rodgers on the sideline, and I see him after the after the game, in the postgame press conference, you know what? Again, I'm speculating here, but I'm only speculating because I've gone through it. there is a major issue there, and they both will deny it, I guarantee it, but there is an issue there, and it's because you have this 40-year-old Hall of Fame quarterback to be dealing with a coach that I think he doesn't respect."
Boomer Esiason made it clear that this was all just speculation and he was giving his opinion on what he saw.
The New York Jets lost 10-9 to the Denver Broncos on Sunday afternoon.
Aaron Rodgers didn't agree with Robert Saleh's comments about offense
After Sunday's loss, Saleh said that the team needs to turn down the cadence on the offense.
Aaron Rodgers has always used a hard count for most of his career in hopes of getting the defense to jump. He believes that instead of slowing the offense down, offensive linemen should be held accountable for being penalized when they commit a false start.
"That's one way to do it," Rodgers said in the postgame press conference. "The other way is to hold them accountable. We haven't had an issue. We've had one false start, Morgan (Moses) had one false start until this. It's been a weapon."
"We use it every day in practice. We rarely have a false start, and we had, I don't know, five today, it seemed like? Four or five? It seems like an outlier. I don't know if we need to make mass changes based on kind of an outlier game."
The veteran QB was clear that he doesn't believe the New York Jets offense needs to change something they have been doing just because of Sunday's game.
