VIDEO: Nathaniel Hackett reproves Andrew Peasley for RPO read vs. Commanders

New York Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers are working tediously to optimize the offensive attack before the 2024 NFL season. Yet, reserve quarterback Andrew Peasley decided to go off script on this 2nd quarter play from Week 1 of the NFL preseason.

Understanding play sequencing is crucial to understanding how efficient an offensive coordinator can be. For Hackett, he sent in the perfect play call for 3rd & 1 from his own 38 yard line. Hackett wants as many exhibition reps as possible on offense and he can only do so by continuously moving the chains.

Criticism for Hackett, head coach Robert Saleh, and Rodgers continue to surface throughout the media. However, Hackett’s offensive attack seems to mesh ideally with his new personnel.

As more All-22 NFL film emergences throughout preseason, a vivid understanding of how Hackett wants to run the Jets’ offense will materialize. For now, Hackett is focused on making sure all of his chess pieces function according to schedule.

Peasley will continue his trial with the New York Jets in competition with quarterback Tyrod Taylor, rookie Jordan Travis, and Adrian Martinez who played well in the win over the Commanders last week. With only 53 spots on the team roster, it’s understandable as to why Peasley tried for the home-run on such a basic read.
