Aaron Rodgers praises leadership of Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall during Jets training camp | SNY

I feel real good about it. I think you need to have some practices where. There's some mistakes that happens. You can coach them up. I mean, it's a coach's dream that type of practice because you had a lot of things that to go back to a column like anchor points. Like we have these plays that we were a little bit off whether it's execution or adjustment or the correct response in the moment and you have these anchor points. You can go back to and say hey remember that practice in August, you know in the last preseason week we had this similar play Let's remember we Like this on that or hey, you know, maybe Brisas idea. I'm going to get if I get this again remember that play we had I'm going to break out or you know, instead of breaking in or something like that. So I think you know, it's really good to have those type of practices. We have some cultural moments. You know, I think we did some nice things and then we had some every play there was like one one person kind of off madman me might have been lime in might have been a receiver but good teachable moment. It's but that you learn that is like that. I just said yeah, those are Anchor Point moments, you know, it does it was our anchor anchor points to go back to and some of them are stuff that I feel like we should know there's plenty of excuses. We could give about, you know, 4:00 bedtime Monday morning or Sunday morning and all this and that and pads and all these different things. But the end of day that if we're good stress is camp in a way that you know, it's all guys we have been stressed in a while. It's good for us. So we need to see how we're going to respond in a unscripted periods where the entire Playbook is up good chance to see like who can handle what how much can we give certain guys and then what the emphasis needs to be moving forward. So I think those are the most valuable practices for us. Obviously, we're going against a great defense and we've got after them a number of practices is Camp. So that was a really important practice for us, I think. Taylor That's news to me. I didn't I didn't know that but I know he's been battling his injury, you know, Malik had a really nice spring and I start to Camp. It's too bad because he knows knows the system and I feel like when he's gotten opportunities last couple years, he's made a lot of place, but the most important ability is availability. Like I know full well last year, so hopefully that means he has chance to come back. Back at some point. I'm not sure if that's the case. I just heard about this just now but look at tomorrow for you for yourself. And this is starting off pants. And like how do you handle that? But mentally go into that practice against the Giants. It's like our preseason game whether or not you know, we play Saturday who knows solemn wants us to and we will I don't know what he told you guys, but we haven't been told anything yet. Okay, so we're on the same page. Yeah. But it'd be good in the most of these practices have been pretty one heavy. You know, we took a ton of reps against Washington and then gets Carolina. I was home with can be a lot of reps probably situational stuff that probably a third down period but I'd be a bunch of a red zone period some sort of, you know, too many periods of those good opportunities different defense and we saw last year in our brief to series, you know wink. Told his pregame hasn't played much Cover 3 and then 10 and like, you know half the snaps including the first play there's more of a familiarity with their coordinator and tied down him and I think Keith being on the staff together. So maybe we won't get that tomorrow, but they got two great, you know Premier pass rushers to get really good interior guys, you know, they're young and some spots but it'll be fun and I'm excited to see see Malik, you know, see what he's all about. The good opportunity for him going against some our Premier corners and anytime you get teams together. It's always interesting to see how it shakes out as far as you know, personalities and pushin and shovin and there's you know, there's a fear of somebody throwing a punch and a half to play in the game. So hopefully it's a clean practice, but you never know. Run over their preference, you know, I feel good about where I'm at with my body and what I've kind of put together. I feel like I've done different things throughout Camp as far as you know rollouts and roll out and pulling up get out of the pocket and making plays long back across my body upon fagin actually extended plays and get some yards. So I feel like I've done a lot haven't taken a hit. You know, it's kind of the main thing. Thankfully I respect and appreciate my defense for that every now and then, you know as much a some crazy guys, you might worry about accidentally drilling you from time to time. We'll see if we can get through tomorrow without getting drilled. But but now I mean I stand by what I said, I mean, even these joint practices there's a fear among all the staffs on like how much can we show what should we hold back? What are we actually going to run for this session? You know, it's a it's a who do you know coaching business? So everybody talks to each other and if somebody doesn't like somebody, you know, somebody has a friend on the diner staff, you know, maybe they're going to tell him something about something that we run. I think that's the fear and probably on their side too. I just know with Carolina wasn't like they did a whole lot, you know. So how much work do we actually get out of that? You know, I think it's good for going against somebody else but is it actually, you know making you better than practicing? Your own team win against debatable. How long have you been with the offensive line, especially oulu for this performance against upper level? Well, I gotta I gotta admit, you know when I'm watching the film I'm aware of what he's doing, but I'm really watching watching the Andrew and Adrian if you if he doesn't stand out that uses a good thing for an offensive lineman. I think he's been very steady. There's not a lot of places where he seems out of position or Lungi and I knew it a holding. Cole being biased as I am always feel like when they showed up on the Jumbotron, you know, most of them kind of questionable every now and then there's a real blatant one, but I felt like the hold on him was very questionable. But I think over always a nice job. He's shown now. He can play the left side and the right side which I think is very good and it's set himself up to be to be a swing tackle for us, but he's real steady. He's real quiet. But but he seems real steady about being tested more than you had in awhile. I was just curious you talking about like compared to last year's training camp this property also mentioned that he switched up reps the way he's dividing revs a lot. So I was wondering if you have different from your standpoint and Just some more information on that. I would say the camp is much harder this year and maybe the hardest in the last seven or eight of my career. I knew that I had a little inside coming into Camp. That's what Robert want to do. So I think it's been good for us, you know, there's a lot of different schools of thought and there's there's always, you know people you can scapegoat as far as injuries and different things, but I think some of the older guys enjoy the To steal a coaching word the callous part of training camp where you're kind of grinding and some people believe that that although it puts more, you know strain on you and training camp that actually gets you more ready to play When the season starts and then some people believe the opposite and you know how it goes. Whatever teams are having success people kind of look at their schedule and go let's do that. But I give Robert a lot of credit because he from the start of the offseason said This is going to be a tough training camp and I think it's been a lot of Reps for the ones. He told me the other day. We were somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 more reps. I think at this point it camped and then last year and it feels like it but it's good. I think it's going to allow us to maybe be a little more ready and we've been fortunate with injuries, you know, we have had a ton a ton of injuries so far. So I like it. It's been great. You talk to the older guys, not a lot of complaints from any of those guys. Young guys don't know any better. So it's been good. Are you mentioned you haven't taken earlier you talked about certain things that but the mental part of the game. And as far as the comeback is taken a hit in a game like one of those last hurdles for you mentally that okay, it's all good. It's a hurdle every year, you know, I think any time and I used to play in the preseason, you know limited and then ramp it up in the second and the third and then, you know, I remember playing against, Tennessee. back in You know 10 or 11 I think and it was like one possession you're going to play and I remember we had a play where it's like a you know, like double go or something and I said it was like can to a run or check to a run verse 2 and it came out Tampa to and I'm like a moment now. I'm just going to throw a pick here at touchdown and I kind of fit a whole shot in the Gregg furth touchdown. The reason I say it it's just it doesn't matter if you've played the preseason where you've later 10th year 2013 it always helps once you kind of get that. Rashad out of the way. It doesn't have to be in the preseason. You know last year. I kind of got knocked down. I think I'm one of them and then Jihad him, you know kind of pushed me after a play but you know, it's going to be first time you get kind of rocked and then it feels like okay. I'm good. You're not really going to get rock in the preseason because even if we play a series or two, it's not like there's going to be plays where I'm holding on to the football for a long time or anything. So it was probably more risky getting rocked in a practice. And I are close friends. I think it was a tough year for a lot of us last year. I give him a lot of credit for the attitude. He's kind of brought back, you know, geez, obviously our number one then we signed Mike Williams to come in and obviously take reps away from Alan but with Mike not being able to practice just yet. I just like Talons approach and I feel like he's kind of doing some of the grimy things that he did and made him really successful and Bay and that's blocking and running the you know, the shorter routes over the middle and then you've seen he's made a number of police down the field. He's he's caught the ball real. Well, I like him in the slot. You know, we had a nice adjustment yesterday's in the slot against sauce. He's just such a big body and he's just versatile. You can play inside you can play outside his ego outside X and with our desire to move Garrett as much as possible, you know gives us a couple big guys on the outside if we aunt and dingy being able to move in the slot and Gibson and conch inside. So I think he's had a really nice Camp. I'm really proud of him. I think his leadership as much as anything has been great. I think he's he's conduct himself with a lot of humility, which is always some of the pie that you eat after a season you'd like to have gone differently, but I'm really proud of the way he's responded and he's had a fantastic Camp. I think having lunch. Being unable to throw do and where you really looking forward to that step on the field for the week 1 and throwing this thing passes. You can't tell me. Well, you know, I'd like to throw to the open guy but like it was in Green Bay at times a very Skies sometimes that number one guy is open more than others. So they get the Lion's Share of the targets from time to time Garrett. I just want to see his leadership role. Continue to expand his route tree to expand and his you know his instincts to continue to further, but I'm really proud of him. I think he's something happened kind of made camp and I think there was one play in general. We had a rough practice day before defense kind of get after some pads and not many people really responded and I went to the couple guys and minute. In group because they're always kind of the most steady and I said we got to set the tone today and then I just mentioned something to briefs about how Ryan Grant used to finish runs all the time and Brees took the first one went about 80, you know, nobody got tackled, but he finished to the end zone and since that rep and that has been the standard and when he does it everybody else doesn't including Garrett and when Garrett does he does it that means a Gibson's going to do it and brownies going to do it and all those young. Guys going to do it. So I give those guys a lot of credit because the most important leadership at times is just leading by example. So I'm really proud of Garrett in that respect.
