Aaron Rodgers starts a blood feud with Jihad Ward

Quote:
Oh boy. Aaron Rodgers to #Giants' Jihad Ward after he got hit late: "Show some respect. I don't even know who you are."

Rodgers then throws a TD pass and looks for Ward: "Don't poke the bear."


The Giants players are definitely going to see all this shit talk on Hard Knocks. Sauce with Hyatt, Rodgers here. HBO is understandably trying to make the Jets look good for the show.

I think the October game is going to be a little wild. Rodgers might regret making an enemy with a maniac like Ward.

I see the opposite

Future hall of fame QB out there competing in preseason like it’s the regular season. He steps on the field and he is a competitor and he’s going to complete no matter the situation because that’s what competitor do.

And good for Jihad as well.
The Jets are tweeting out the clip too.

So much for resisting Hard Knocks.
I like Rodgers...  
bw in dc : 8/29/2023 11:17 pm : link
but JFC he got pushed by Ward.

I'm starting to think the only current QB who could play in any era is Josh Allen.
Can’t wait to watch Rodgers play the part

Same here. If our guy did it there would be 5 posts about it. Good for him for being a competitive a-hole.

Your view about competitive nature is pragmatic, no doubt. However, just watch 10 minutes of Hard Knocks and try to maintain that perspective. The only team that rivals the arrogance of Philly is the NYJ this year.

Pack it in boys, jets are goin all the way. /red

in one of those Jet/Giant preseason games and didn’t act like a whiny little bitch about it. Rodgers melts down over a shove so he can play for the cameras a bit. He can fuck right off.
Rodgers hand injury last year  
Rico : 8/29/2023 11:36 pm : link
came when he got sacked by Ximines on the last play of the game. That injury led to a downward spiral for the Packers. I hope we can do something similar this year!
Again, what do you guys expect? Have you guys ever played?  
robbieballs2003 : 8/29/2023 11:37 pm : link
This is what happens. Nothing to see here. Do you guys expect them to sit down at a tiny table and share some tea while they politely discuss the nuances of the play like some sophisticated blokes?
That wouldn't have happened in the old NFL  
Optimus-NY : 8/29/2023 11:46 pm : link
QBs knew not to go there. I'm all for protecting them, but this has gotten ridiculous. For a QB to just shove an OLB like that and feel like nothing can happen is perplexing. I'm sure many of you out there remember the Charles Martin & Jim McMahon play.



The video is below. I'm not advocating something like this, but if Rodgers wants to continue to play he should be nicer to guys who can easily end his career at this point. I'd love to see Saleh try and corral his guy there, but I doubt that happens. Can you imagine A-Hole mouthing off to the 70s Raiders like that?

You’re right, the exchange is a nothingburger - it’s just the way things go viral nowadays, it’s going to be something Giants players are asked about, etc. Just gets tedious.
I kinda liked it...  
BillKo : 8/29/2023 11:59 pm : link
...but if you play sports you understand trash talk.

Anyway, I thought Ward's comeback was weak lol......but glad he didn't take AR's crap despite it just being an exhibition game. He pushed him, that's part of the game.

A better comeback, rather than Ward claiming he didn't know who Rodgers was would have been "oh, you know who I am, I'll see you soon"..........

Yeah, more the show, it didn’t bother me watching the clip, but Sauce acting like he won those battles with Hyatt irritated me watching tonight. And like you said, it’s from HBO’s lens, but now I am really pumped for the regular season matchup
No QB likes to get hit

or whether Rodgers' comment to Ward was appropriate. ANYTHING Rodgers says or does is newsworthy.

I don't understand how that perception perpetuates seemingly smart people.

Rodgers has a SB win and a SB MVP and a Post-season QB Passer Rating higher than Tom Brady (and Eli, and Big Ben, and Peyton - just comparing him to QBs with multiple SB wins).
Look on the bright side  
mfsd : 8/30/2023 8:41 am : link
at least the lowest common denominator segment of the Giants media has some new drama to root around in like pigs in shit, after Saquon robbed them of it by signing/reporting on time and taking the high road all the way through
Losing divisional round home games as a #1 seed  
bceagle05 : 8/30/2023 8:41 am : link
always sticks to a QB a little, as it did Peyton. Rodgers has lost three off the top of my head - Giants in 2011 and the two recent ones to Tampa and SF - and he didn’t play particularly well in those games. He was great in a couple of Dallas playoff games though, which is all that matters.
Didn't he also  
jestersdead : 8/30/2023 8:49 am : link
say something to Cobb about the illegal block? So it kinda goes both ways
I think some of these  
Lines of Scrimmage : 8/30/2023 8:58 am : link
"great QB's" are the result of also having the right kind of team around them in achieving those stats.

Sometimes they face the wrong type of team come playoff time and maybe not as great when most needed.

Plenty of examples of this in every decade and reinforces how important the team concept is. Doesn't mean the QB is not great.

So when they win, it's the team around them, but when they lose it's the QB?

That does seem how it lives in people's minds.

Mahomes teams have already lost two home conference championships and he is shaping up to be the best playoff QB of all time.

In some of your minds it seems like the QB would be better off if their team had a mediocre regular season and just skate into the playoffs so they could go on the road. This way you wouldn't ding them personally as coming up small in the post-season as a favored playoff team because they were so dominant in the regular season that they get top seeds and home games.
I'm normally perfectly happy with Hard Knocks  
jamison884 : 8/30/2023 9:07 am : link
Some people on here hate it. I see it as access to training camps and teams and it's more entertaining than not watching, so I've watched every season and look forward to it as an annual ritual. I'd personally love to see the NYG be on there to see more of my team, as long as the organization supported it of course.

However, two things were utter bullshit and simply low class.

1. As others have pointed out...telling Ward he has never heard of him? Scumbag shit right there. Rodgers seemed perfectly fine to me throughout the series up until that shit. Fuck off with that cocky BS.

2. Showing the NYJ first teams, mentioning it was the first team, and not mentioning the fact it was against NYG second team players. Be factual and the fans will respect your show more.
Rodgers is a douchebag

Rodgers is one of the best QBs I have ever seen. I actually think he's underrated overall vis-a-vis other great QBs.

But his recent playoff performances are a real blemish considering the home field advantages he's had. Some things have been out of his control, but a lot has been in his control. Even in the final regular season game at home last year against Detroit, with a playoff spot on the line, Rodgers couldn't find his magic.

I hope he delivers with NYJ. But it's going to be a real test watching him deal with new surroundings and an OL in flux.
He threw a TD pass against the twos. He can talk all he wants  
mikeinbloomfield : 8/30/2023 9:30 am : link
I haven't seen the episode yet, but do they show him running for his life when Simmons blitzed? LOL. His numbers were good, but my impression at the game was he didn't play great.

The bigger issue was the cheap ass shot on McCain and the talk in their huddle after. I would think Cobb would be in for some hits in October, if he made the team.

Fuck Rodgers, too.
pjacs  
Lines of Scrimmage : 8/30/2023 9:32 am : link
I never said that regarding winning and losing regarding the QB.

You have a offense led by a "great" QB who puts up 400 (or more) yards in season with 30 points (or more) all of a sudden be far below that in a playoff game or SB.

I think when you look at those situations the issue was more than just the QB in the loss. Same as with the regular season success and all those wins.

Reinforces the team concept.
