Everyone who wears green and white on gamedays and has moved on to the next game has a few ideas about what ails the Jets this season. Garrett Wilson after the loss at Miami dropped his team to 3-10, suggested that this down season "is like you have a gene."
[Aaron Rodgers](/team/players-roster/aaron-rodgers/) lightheartedly said he wasn't sure about Wilson's reference to pigskin genetics, or even some opinions having to do with curses that need to be snapped.
But then the quarterback turned serious as he always does when football talk gets down to the nitty-gritty.
"We've lost some leads, we haven't taken some leads late in games," Rodgers said after the Jets' Wednesday practice to prepare for their second road trip to Florida in a week to play the Jaguars in Jacksonville on Sunday. "Whatever the case, this team, this organization is going to figure out how to get over the hump at some point. At the end, it's the players that make it come to life. At some point, people are going to have to figure out what the special sauce is to turn those games that should be wins into wins."
We don't think Rodgers was thinking specifically to Sauce Gardner, who also spoke to reporters and said he was ready to rebound from the hamstring that kept him out against the Dolphins and return to action against the Jaguars. But sauce was definitely on the 41-year-old signal-caller's menu.
"Yeah, it's on the edge of that," he said about his locker room embracing his tasty metaphor. "We just haven't quite figured out how to get that special sauce worked out and mixed up. It's close. There's a lot of great guys in the locker room, a good mix of veterans and young guys. We just haven't quite put it all together."
