'Hard Knocks,' Week 3 - Rodgers razzes Wilson, Cobb shares news, more Jets moments - ESPN

No player on the New York Jets has been around Aaron Rodgers longer than wide receiver Randall Cobb — a total of 10 seasons in Green Bay, to be exact. So when Cobb says something about the star quarterback, it pays to listen and take notes.

In Episode 3 of «Hard Knocks,» which aired Tuesday night on HBO, Cobb took his fellow receivers inside the mind of Rodgers. He warned them Rodgers would snap if their play didn't improve.

«I was just talking to 12 — or 8 — and he was telling me we had a lot of mistakes in our room today,» Cobb told them after a practice last week, mistakenly first using Rodgers' old Green Bay Packers' number. «Just basic stuff. Little things, right? Like, we can't have that.

»It's all cool right now, but I'm telling you, one day he's going to lose his s---. It's going to happen if it continues to go the way it's going right now. If he don't trust you, he's not going to throw you the ball, I can promise you that.… He does not like throwing interceptions. If he can't trust you're going to run the right route, he's not going to throw it."

Rodgers must have gotten wind of Cobb's directive because, during a news conference earlier in the day, he issued a preemptive rebuttal.

«Cobby said some things about how you got to watch out because you know 8's going to snap at some point,» Rodgers said. «I don't feel like I'm the snapping type anymore. I mean, I'm going to raise my level of intensity, but that doesn't mean I'm going to embarrass anybody.»

Remember that horrible rookie show in Episode 2? Well, the rookies got a mulligan, and one of them — Jerome Kapp, an undrafted wide receiver from Kutztown — delivered
