Nathaniel Hackett speaks highly of Aaron Rodgers ahead of Week 1 | SNY

With their jobs, their group. That's been a lot of those guys have been together for a long time. And they play with their hair on fire. I mean, they know what they're doing. They're very aggressive. Understand, all their fits, it's hard to get, get them to get out of there alignments. So it's one of those things going to be a great challenge is something we kind of go against every day. Of course, any time you have and I think we have a couple games here that are brand-new coordinators. You're never going to know 100%, but you're going to try to give it. Yeah, your best bet. Mike has done a really good job working, you know, obviously through the injury. You know, he's really done a nice job. Just get himself back in his mind, set has been great, both in the classroom and on the field, it's been great to have him out there and, you know, we're going to do it the right way. We're going to make sure that we don't give them everything early, but just know it's a long season. Can you describe the process that you gain planning process and how much input Aaron has into that? It's very elaborate, we always come together with it with a plan as coaches and then we're presented to him like we do every week or any quarterback and then just kind of clarify everything with him. See you know, he watches a ton of tape, he has a ton of ideas just like us and so we want to be sure that he's comfortable with all the things that we're going to execute out there. So as we develop the plan, When we continually get it to them and have a lot of talks and make sure we have everything that we want and go from there. So it's pretty seamless is just another pair of eyes because of his experience. It's been amazing. I mean just thinking about like last year when he was out there practicing and seeing what he could do in such a short period of time, it just shows just his mentality to competitor he is. I'm you can't speak speak highly enough about the man and his determination and his competitiveness. I mean he's the all-time mean, it doesn't matter what you do with this guy. I mean he's always going to try to do everything to not just beat you, but beat you, bad sets the standard. I mean, it's it, I mean, he's one of the greatest to ever throw a football. So when he's out there in cerebral cerebrally I think that's a work. Just to watch him how he thinks how he needs everybody to get up to how he's cognitively processing is so important. And I mean, again, he's trying to shred people. And I think that's the thing. That's so beautiful. And it just makes everybody standard go a lot higher. Everything's got to be perfect. Everybody does. I mean just watching how the Huddle operates when they when he calls the play and he speaks to everybody, that's where the whole thing starts. So just watching him, communicate that play and talk to the offensive line, talk to the wide receivers, he's having a conversation, not just calling a play and I think that's what makes the things come alive a lot and it's just fun watching all those guys won't want to be exactly in the right spot for him and him to be able to deliver it. To him. Don't you as a coach? You know, I talk a lot about the players and standard and what from your perspective as a coach, what does he do for you? He makes it so that anything that we're going to call, has to be great. And so for us every play that we find every single thought that we have every, every single Movement we have every Run play, we have. I mean, he goes even into the Run game. I mean, it's every single thing. It has to be so precise and you have to have a great reason for it. If you don't Aunt. It's probably not going to be executed or called so I think that just challenges us as coaches to make sure everything we pick is something that we really really love and we have proof for that. I have to have that answer when Harry asks always I mean it's just like whenever you put anything in new if it's something he's not familiar with or hasn't done. I mean he's done so much and they're certain plays that he's been very good at that if you're going to Introduce something new. You got to be sure you have a whole lot of evidence on why it's good and and he still going to challenge it. So a test, you as a coach that even if you have something he's going to keep pushing it and then that's where that conversation happens. And usually it's something special. Going to be calling from downstairs or Upstairs Downstairs. Last year. I think you were upstairs toward the end, right? But you started downstairs. So there must be something between you and Aaron like being able to talk. I on the sidelines, his editor, yes. I mean the minute he walks in the building. I mean everybody knows, he's one of the greatest left tackles to ever play the game. So just his demeanor, how he trains, how he takes care of his body, how he prepares? All those things. Are amazing standards that he sets. I mean, it's like every beginning of a season I mean teams are changing. So dramatically every year, I mean, looking at our team, there's a lot of new starters that are up there. You never know what's going to happen until it's a real football game. And you see how people respond, that's why it's sometimes good to be on the sidelines. So you can look at everybody in the eye and get a great feel for Or how they're going to be on game day. So for with this group I'm excited to see him go out there and operate. We've done some really good things out here in practice and now we just got to take it to the field. He's under as well as you can use. Yes. Oh, he gives us tons of ideas and thoughts and all those things. And just like, it is when you're talking with Aaron, it's about sorting through those things. And taking those nuggets that are going to help the team, I mean, he's unbelievable. I mean, he's get off his power, his strength. His, I mean, he just has an unbelievable motor. I mean, the guy is never going to stop. You can just feel his competitiveness just when he gets off the ball. Anything, anytime the NFL is going to kind of emphasize something, we always talked about it with the guys. That's something that they've talked to us before they always in the past. And it looks like this year after watching that game that they're definitely going to be looking for it. So something we always address with the guys. We always talked to him and we just got to make sure we're legal. The changes that you've seen it helpful last year to this year. It's funny you look at last year and I mean, he hadn't really done a ton of practice. So, we went into that Buffalo game last year, and it was going to be exciting to see, kind of what he had done just because, obviously what he had gone through to get to, where he was. And so now he's had all the off season, he's had all the training camp. I mean, just seeing his explosiveness, the different things that he's capable of both in the pass, game, protection and Run game. Just is really exciting. It allows you to have a true three down back. It's another guy that you know kind of showed up and worked so hard was didn't really know what was going on to start. But I mean he was just talking to me the other day about how different he feels going into this game compared to that first game last year. You know, any time you're dealing with the rookie, the speed, the competition, the amount of plays, all those things. Just so different from college that, you know, just having a whole full year with the same system under his belt. I mean he's definitely come come a long ways.
