The pivotal moment for Allen Lazard, in the eyes of offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, materialized before any of his six catches for 89 yards and two touchdowns Monday.
Instead, it unfolded on the third offensive snap of the Jets’ eventual loss, when Lazard sprinted 5 yards upfield, pivoted to snap left out in his route and slipped. Allen Lazard celebrates with wide receiver Garrett Wilson after making a touchdown catch during the Jets’ 32-19 Week 1 loss to the 49ers.He couldn’t complete a connection with a quarterback — though this time, it was old Packers teammate Aaron Rodgers under center.
“Aaron Rodgers,” he said, and that was followed by, “Yep, it’s pretty simple,” after being asked if it was, indeed, that simple. That happened after Gang Green signed Mike Williams, who has continued to work back from a torn ACL and logged just nine snaps in the opener, to compete for reps as the No. 2 wideout, too.
“I’m going into every game, whether it be this year, last year or previous years … just doing whatever I can to help the team win,” Lazard said Thursday. “So if it means blocking, if it means catching touchdowns, if it means running out the safety to open it up, I’m all about it.”
