It was a busy Saturday at the Green Gangs’ Training Camp as many fans gathered for an exciting event. This was the first preseason practice that was open to spectators, and a lot of things happened on the field. During the practice session, there were some disagreements between players, which led to multiple fights breaking out. The players from the Jets team got into heated arguments with each other, and things got a bit aggressive.
The ‘Hard Knocks’ cameras were rolling, capturing all the action. As a result of these fights, the coaching staff had to step in to separate the players and calm things down. It seems, despite Aaron Rodgers‘ personal journey towards tranquility, the rest of the team seems to be experiencing tensions.

Aaron Rodgers’ quest for inner peace seems to have backfired on his new teammates. The New York Jets’ first open practice of training camp on July 22, 2023, wasn’t the best picture of team spirit, with 25 YO Michael Clemons throwing punches at 22 YO Jeremy Ruckert, according to multiple sources. According to Dov Kleiman, the Jets are using logos from teams like the Patriots and Bills on their practice dummies.

The practice was a spectacle for the fans and the cameras, as it was filmed for the HBO series “Hard Knocks”. But instead of showing off their skills, the players showed off their tempers, as several fights broke out during the session. NFL reporter, Connor Hughes noted that the day was unusually physical, even though the players haven’t donned their pads yet. However, training camp skirmishes are nothing new.

But coach Saleh didn’t seem to mind the fights. He said, “Yeah, it’s hot, it was good, a good competitive practice. It was good to see the offense fight back a little bit.” The Jets are lucky that they don’t have to deal with the cameras all the time. But soon, their training fights will be broadcasted to the whole country.
