New York Jets training camp has not been the happiest place in the world since it started, with the offense looking uneven and quarterback Aaron Rodgers looking frustrated. The quarterback took time, however, to try to address some of the questions that have arisen as a result of it all.

Rodgers has had a few on-field arguments with teammates, including some with wide receiver Garrett Wilson. According to Rodgers, however, that is a sign of a healthy relationship and that the two were in an intense discussion of how to be the best on the field.

Aaron Rodgers on his conversations with Garrett Wilson: “There’s often appearance versus reality in life and on the football field … we’re just passionately talking about the details. We have a great relationship.” #Jets

Rodgers said the same about second-year center Joe Tippmann, who has struggled with snaps in camp enough that the quarterback has frequently gotten on him. According to Rodgers, that is because Tippmann can take it and has the potential to be a standout offensive lineman.

“He’s got a chance to be an All-Pro. If he’s snapping the ball a little wayward from time to time he can take me jumping on his a–,” Rodgers said.

Rodgers’ frustration boiled over on Monday, prompting a lot of speculation about whether the Jets’ offense was in good shape or not. We won’t have a good clue until we see them in action, but Rodgers is, at least publicly, not showing too much concern about the state of things.
