Aaron Rodgers showed his frustration at Jets training camp on Monday after the offense struggled.
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Aaron Rodgers was downright ticked off.The New York Jets quarterback took the snap, started to drop back -- and ended up sprawled on the grass after one of his offensive linemen stepped on one of his feet.Rodgers shouted.He wasn't hurt, but he was angry.Monday was that kind of a day, the first this summer in full pads, for the Jets' offense. The temperature was hot and so was the quarterback's temper.
Tippmann, a second-round pick out of Wisconsin last year, has never snapped to Rodgers in a regular-season game. Connor McGovern, who's now a free agent, was the center in the opener when Rodgers was injured last year. Tippmann took over for McGovern after the veteran starter was hurt in Week 7.Rodgers was complimentary of Tippmann last week, saying he thinks the young center could become the leader of the Jets' revamped offensive line.'I want to empower Tippman,' Rodgers said.
