It’s clear the New York Jets want to support Aaron Rodgers with a strong rushing attack.
They went out and added Dalvin Cook to a backfield that already features Breece Hall, they kept a fullback on their 53-man roster, and they seem poised to utilize a lot of two-tight end packages. Undoubtedly, offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett wants to create a balanced offense that doesn’t put the weight of the world on Rodgers’ 39-year-old right arm.
Running the ball effectively will be particularly important in Monday’s season opener against the Buffalo Bills.
