“I Feel Like It’s Overdue”: Aaron Rodgers Gets Less Than Subtle Warning From New York Giants Rookie Who Has Been Waiting To Make His Stamp On The NFL

After a glum win against the New England Patriots, the Green Bay Packers were ready to face the New York Giants in a foreign land. London saw the NFL’s reigning, back-to-back MVP award winner Aaron Rodgers. But this time a rookie edge rusher from the Giants tried to pose a threat against A-Rod.

Kayvon Thibodeaux is the 21-year-old rookie linebacker of the New York Giants. The young athletes appeared super ambitious. Because he did not have a good start to the season. He missed the first two games as a result of a sprained left MCL.

And now Thibodeaux and his team secure a win against the future Hall of Famer and the leading QB of the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers. The LB was very ambitious before the matchup. He declared, “Yeah, you know it’s time. I feel like it’s overdue and hopefully, the time comes, God willing, on Sunday.”

Is it easy to sack Aaron Rodgers?

In the NFL, it’s accepted wisdom that blitzing Aaron Rodgers puts you at risk of getting burnt. However, many think that it is fairly easy to sack the Super Bowl-winning QB. Yes, sounds strange, given the strong improvisational skills Rodgers possesses.

Cincinnati Bengals’ outside linebacker, Carl Lawson, thinks it is easier to rush Rodgers than other QBs. “He sits there, and he pats the ball.” There is evidence to back up the statement. Many films of A-Rod show he frequently holds onto the ball for much too long and looks for the big play rather than taking the opportunity the defense presents.

Will Thibodeaux be successful in his plan?

According to reports, Rodgers has been sacked 504 times since taking over as Green Bay’s primary starter in 2008, which is 44 times more than any other quarterback (Philip Rivers, 359) during that time. The 2018 season saw him sacked the fifth-most times (49).

Although the proofs may show the veteran QB as an easy target, his ability to make plays far surpasses any drawbacks that might result from taking a few additional sacks throughout a season. His career passing rate is 104.93. Unfortunately, the Giants’ LB was not able to sack Rodgers. But he had a good game as they defeated the Packers with a score of 22-27.
