Jets DC Offers Overview On Aaron Rodgers. We Must Play ‘Smart Football’

At 41-years-old, the big question for Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers entering his 21st NFL season is what does he have left in the tank?

Many seem to believe he still can play winning football. That’s what the Steelers are banking on, at least, and they’ll get their first look at Rodgers Sunday inside MetLife Stadium against the New York Jets.

One of the biggest questions surrounding Rodgers is how he’ll deal with pressure — particularly blitzes — behind a young Steelers offensive line.

But Jets defensive coordinator Steve Wilks is more worried about his unit being assignment-sound, being ready to make tackles quickly with Rodgers getting the ball out fast and making sure they don’t try to do too much to try and fool a quarterback who has seen and done it all.
