From Zach Rosenblatt—

Some takeaways from #Jets camp: - Aaron Rodgers remains unstoppable in the intermediate/short areas of the field. I’ll keep saying it but he’s a master at those quick passes right after the snap. Tyler Conklin and Mecole Hardman are frequent targets on those. Separately, he made some nice throws to Corey Davis too, who has had a sneaky good camp. - Zach Wilson had a really good day. I believe he had one bad throw in 11 on 11. Completed his first six passes in a row. Finished 9 of 12, and one was a spike during a move the ball period. - Mekhi Becton was a full go today and I thought he played pretty well on the reps I watched at LT for Wilson. - Bryce Huff played as much as he did in the Browns game because “they needed somebody to play,” Saleh said. They didn’t have enough DEs available to not play him. Said in a perfect world none of their top DEs would’ve played bc they all have important roles in this defense, including Huff. Huff has had a stellar camp. He had another sack today. - Saleh said Joe Tippmann “had a really strong” game against the Browns upon further review. Said he was a “pleasant surprise.” I think the Panthers week will be big for him pushing for the top backup center job behind McGovern. - Hardman said there’s still a lot of work to be done with him and Rodgers even as it seems like their chemistry is growing. Said they’re good in the short/intermediate area but “we gotta get the deep balls a little better.” Hardman said it can be “tricky” with Rodgers at QB sometimes because you always gotta be on alert and he’ll throw you open quickly after the snap whether you’re ready or not. Hardman also said he’s still figuring out Rodgers’ hand signals because sometimes Rodgers will show up to practice and change the signal to keep everyone paying attention. - I think Nick Bawden is going to make the 53. He was targeted three times today and has been very involved in the offense during training camp, with both Rodgers and Wilson. - Jason Brownlee had a couple of nice receptions where he boxed out the defender. Had a bumpy preseason game but still looking like the best option if they keep six WRs.

ESPN update for the day from Cimini

New York Jets: Aaron Rodgers continued to impress with his quick game, frustrating the defense with his ability to exploit blitzes and coverage with his sight adjustments and fast release. Sunday was one of his best practices. He completed his first eight passes and finished 14-of-21 unofficially (including a drop and an intentional spike). Rodgers is a "master" when it comes to the short passing game, according to coach Robert Saleh. He said Rodgers can lull a defense to sleep with short throws, then hit them with a deep ball over the top.

Rodgers' lone blemish occurred on the final play of practice, when, in an end-of-game situation, he was intercepted in the end zone by cornerback Sauce Gardner. No matter. The 3,000 fans in attendance were chanting Rodgers' name at the end of practice. -- Rich Cimini

You think Brownlee had a bumpy preseason? From everything I've heard and seen, he's established himself to make the final roster.

I think it's referring to his performance in the HOF game which was uneven. Kinda tough to evaluate when it's backups vs backups, but I agree, everything coming out of camp has been favorable for him and he seems to have cemented that last WR spot.

Jets Camp Practice Recap - 8/8/23

08 AUGUST 2023 Media was on hand for the Jets' training camp practice today. Here's what went down according to those on hand:
  • The team was not in pads with joint practices coming up tomorrow and Thursday;
  • Although the Jets were hopeful Garrett Wilson would return today, he did not practice;
  • Carl Lawson, who has a back issue, also did not practice. However, Jermaine Johnson, Quincy Williams and Laken Tomlinson were back after being banged up in the last practice. Johnson was in on the first unit with Lawson out;
  • Randall Cobb, Xavier Gipson and Alex Erickson were the only players fielding punts even though Mecole Hardman is listed as the number one punt returner;
  • Max Mitchell moved to left tackle with Billy Turner moving to the right but both remained on the first unit. Mekhi Becton remains as the second team left tackle with Wes Schweitzer as the second team center and Joe Tippmann working with the threes;
  • Allen Lazard caught a nice pass over the middle from Aaron Rodgers as he beat Sauce Gardner on a good route;
  • Zach Wilson had a nice connection to Xavier Gipson downfield;
  • Tim Boyle hit on a comebacker to a tightly-covered Jason Brownlee;
  • Corey Davis had a big play called back due to a CJ Uzomah offensive pass interference penalty;
  • Rodgers had to vacate the pocket to find Bam Knight on a dump-off;
  • Jimmy Moreland picked off a poor throw by Rodgers who was off-balance as he tried to find Uzomah. He ran it back for his third pick-six of camp;
  • New signing Pita Taumoepenu had a sack against the third string offense;
  • Defense dominated the red zone period as Quinton Jefferson blew up a run, Jordan Whitehead deflected a pass and Deuce Carter had a coverage sack;
  • Wilson rolled right and found Gipson for a touchdown in red zone work;
  • Rodgers continued to struggle as he overthrew an open Ace Carter and was then intercepted again as Zaire Barnes came down with a pass tipped by John Franklin-Myers;
  • He bounced back to thread the needle to Cobb for a score;
  • Wilson had a touchdown connection on a nice throw to Kenny Yeboah who made a falling grab; and
  • Mekhi Becton and Micheal Clemons battled hard all day in a competitive matchup where Becton seemed to get the better of the second-year player.
