Aaron Rodgers: ‘I’m back playing how I like to play’
But his mobility was limited late in the season by a calf injury that forced the Packers to get away from part of their playbook.
The 31-year-old QB veteran Aaron Rodgers didn’t need much of dynamic scrambles in the Week 1 of the 2015 NFL Preseason game opener to feel back to his old self, because he known that he’s 100 percent in good form since the spring.
That was the evident in the August 13th NFL Preseason opener against the New England Patriots, when the four-time Pro Bowl Aaron Rodgers rolled to his left side on a goal-line play and threw on the run. You’re already drafting Rodgers as a QB1 and, with full-health in this high-powered offense, he’s the safest thing at the position in fantasy.
Rodgers played 69 combined snaps in the second and third preseason games last season before sitting out the finale against Kansas City. “I’m back to playing the way I like to play, which is to extend plays when I can and get rid of it when I need to”.
Rodgers sees value in preseason action, especially with competitions brewing at receiver and tight end. The Packers subsequently got off to a slow start during the regular season.
“It’s up to Mike“, Rodgers said.
For Rodgers, the top goals are to stay healthy and to get into a rhythm. The preseason has been all over the place. Some years we struggle on offense and we come out and put up big numbers in the first couple games. “I have zero inhibitions out there, and I’m playing the way I want to play”. The early vibe is Seattle is down a bit over past year. “Mike maybe wants us to get a little more work in the preseason, which is fine”, Rodgers said.
It was one of the most monumental collapses in NFL history as Seattle somehow pulled out a 28-22 overtime victory in the NFC championship game. He knows how to throw on the move.
“Obviously it’s a strength of his”.
