During the off-season, NewYorkJets.com Reporters Eric Allen, Ethan Greenberg, Randy Lange, Caroline Hendershot and John Pullano answer a series of questions about this year’s Jets.

Today’s question: What do you expect from Jets QB Aaron Rodgers against the 49ers upon his return to action?

EA: San Francisco HC Kyle Shanahan hired defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen to lead a unit that features DE Nick Bosa, LB Fred Warner and CB Charvarius Ward. The Jets will counter with Aaron Rodgers, an improved offensive line and young skill position stars along with intriguing wide receiver options in Mike Williams and Malachi Corley. In nine regular season games against the ‘Niners, Rodgers, a native of Chico, CA who played in college at Butte JC and California, has completed 66.2% of his passes for 20 TDs and 2 TDs with a 107.5 QB rating. Though Rodgers is 40 and returning from a torn Achilles tendon and has not played a game in 364 days, he remains a gifted physical talent with a special football mindset. Rodgers has been great all summer and I expect him to have a good night against the ‘Niners. When he’s on the field, the Jets have a chance to win every game they play – including Monday – this season. Consider what All-Pro LB Warner said of Rodgers this week: “He’s always had the savvy, the ability to extend plays, make the big plays, control the game, make the plays in the big moments. So there’s nothing you can point to, like, ‘We’ve got to stop him from doing this.’ You’ve got to be prepared for everything, so we’ve got a big test ahead of us.”

For example: I expect an impressive performance. I won’t put a number behind it, but I think fans watching Monday night’s game will be impressed by Aaron Rodgers, who has a career passer rating of 103.9 against the 49ers after missing last season. He was certainly impressive throwing the ball in training camp and showed his mobility after an Achilles injury. The Jets have the pieces to become one of the league’s best offenses, but the biggest question is how long it will take for the unit to get going. Teams with continuity need time to find a rhythm. Nearly all of the Green & White’s starters on offense, including three new offensive linemen, did not play in preseason. Robert Saleh said the Jets increased their reps during training camp to simulate game-like situations and get started right away. While Rodgers may be considered a rookie, having yet to complete a single pass in the regular season for the Jets, he has already bonded well with third-year WR Garrett Wilson and WR Allen Lazard, who was his teammate with the Packers for five seasons.
