The Jets’ offensive players have had plenty of adjustments to make for new quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Basically, they are relearning almost everything they know about football.

Even the basics — like the cadence.

Most people don’t think twice about how a quarterback calls for the ball.

But Rodgers has such a complicated cadence that it was a point of emphasis during training camp, especially for the Jets’ offensive linemen.

“I’ve never had to study a cadence before, but I feel like I have to do it now,” guard Alijah Vera-Tucker said.

Vera-Tucker said he studies the words on paper, but also watches film of practices to study the cadence and even has a video of center Connor McGovern going through the cadences to learn them.

The effect of Rodgers’ different snap counts was evident early in training camp, when the defense was constantly jumping offside during practice.

“I think last year we were always going on one, and if it wasn’t one, it was two,” Vera-Tucker said. “When you mix up the cadences, there were like five of them in rotation during camp, it definitely keeps the defense on their toes. I feel like it helps them, too, with their get off by watching the ball. We’ve seen them improve that as well. It’s helped both offense and defense.”

Rodgers tests his offensive linemen on the count.

He has spent time in the offensive line meeting room this summer, trying to teach his various cadences.

“It’s tough,” Rodgers said. “It’s a process. You just have to test them all the time.”

The various cadences have come through years of trial and error for Rodgers.

He is considered the master of the hard count, and for years he got Packers opponents to jump offside.

“It evolved from one count, two counts to one hut, two huts, three huts and quick counts and dummy stuff,” Rodgers said. “You do something long enough, you get bored and throw in a new cadence, see if it works, throw it out if it doesn’t work. It’s a lot of trial and error.”

During practice this summer, Rodgers would mix up his cadences.

Rodgers likes to say he is “intentional” in practice, meaning he thinks every snap in practice should serve a purpose. He is not one who goes through the motions.

“I just don’t like wasting reps. It’s kind of a weird psychosis,” Rodgers said. “If we’re out there doing something, let’s get something out of it. Instead of just going through the motions and you’re in a 20-play walk-through and every play is on one, why not have five plays on one, eight plays on double count, three plays on a quick count and two plays on a dummy count? Like, just test it. It shows you, can a guy play or not? Can a guy think and play? We need guys who can think quickly, listen, and then react at the same time, every single play.”

Rodgers said it is about training the mind as well as the body in practice in order to get ready for the games.

A coach in Green Bay told Rodgers and the Packers’ offense they should turn off their brains, but he does not see it that way.

“They can’t just turn their minds off,” Rodgers said. “There’s been times in the other offense and every coach has their clichés, but there was a cliché about, just turn your brain off. That’s just not how I play football. I don’t want my guys to play football like that. The smartest players are the best players, and I need my guys to be able to think in real time and react quickly and not turn their brain off. That’s just not the offense we play.”

Mastering Rodgers’ cadence is part of the process of being a smart player.

Jets offensive line coach Keith Carter said teaching the cadence has been a challenge.

“There’s more cadences than I even know,” Carter said in the middle of camp. “Half the ones, he hasn’t even told the coaches.”

Carter told the story of when the team added lineman Grant Hermanns in the middle of camp.

“Grant came and said, ‘Coach, you want to go over the cadences?’ I’m like, ‘Oh my God. I don’t know. Let’s go talk to Aaron,’” Carter said.

Head coach Robert Saleh said early in training camp he could not believe how advanced Rodgers’ cadence is.

“I’ll be honest, standing back there and just listening, I jump every play,” Saleh said. “It’s a pretty advanced cadence, and I’ve even talked to Coach [Matt] LaFleur about it in Green Bay, and he said ‘Man, it’s tough.’ … It is a pretty unique deal for [Rodgers].”
