Halloween does not come until the end of October, but the most important time for the Jets to have a disguise in 2025 will be Sunday against Aaron Rogers. Locked-on Jets begins now.

You are Locked-on Jets, your daily New York Jets podcast, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day.

Welcome, this is the Locked-on Jets podcast, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day.

It is Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025, and I'm your host, John B from gangreneation.com. Thank you so much for making the show your first listener, first watch every day. A big shout out to you every dayers. This is a daily podcast covering the New York Jets with new episodes each day through the week, Monday, through Friday. And our episode today is to you by Mazda. Just like there's more

to every player, more dedication, more attention to detail. There's more to a Mazda vehicle.

Stay tuned later in the episode for highlights in this week's moving the game forward.

It's the same guest who comes here every year. If you're new to the show, I think you'll enjoy it.

crossover Thursday show of the season. Chris Carter of Locked-on Steelers will join me to preview week one between the Jets and Steelers. But on today show we have our weekly mailbag.

You cannot give Rogers a clean pocket even at the stage of his career. I think it will be essential for

the Jets to disguise their blitz as well against Aaron Rogers. I think as Jets fans, we have a good

And as 2024 progressed, I think we saw more and more.

His arm just is not what it used to be.

And beyond all of this, I'm not sure Rogers is truly aware of all of his limitations at this point. I think part of the

aging curve at quarterback is about understanding your newfound limitations. There might be a throw
