Green Bay Packers star wide receiver Greg Jennings continues to establish himself as one of the best at his position in the NFL. And with Aaron Rodgers set to fire more passes his way in 2012, the future appears to be very bright for the speedy Pro Bowler.

As he prepares for his seventh season in the league, Jennings is primed to significantly add to his 389 career receptions that have covered 6,171 yards and resulted in 49 touchdowns.

Despite working hard to get the Packers in position for another Super Bowl run in the autumn, Jennings recently took the time to join NFL UK’s Inside the Huddle podcast and speak with hosts Darren Fletcher and Neil Reynolds.

Here are some of the issues Jennings spoke about during his Inside the Huddle appearance...

On being knocked out of last year’s playoffs by the New York Giants...

We didn’t get done what we needed to get done. It was extremely difficult and very disappointing. It was one of those years where you work so hard and put everything into it and then you come up short.

The 31 teams who don’t win it feel the same way. For us, we felt this was a year we could have taken advantage of something special with regard to the dynamic we created in our locker room and within this team. We didn’t take advantage of that and you don’t get opportunities like that every day or every year so it’s vital you take control of the situation when it’s in your hands.

On the Super Bowl always being the goal for the Green Bay Packers...

Absolutely. I have said this to several team-mates and to the media – I would rather go 10-6 and win it than 15-1 and fall short. When you’re forced to play with your backs against the wall, you can be certain everybody is going to be all in because you want something so, so bad that you cannot afford a mistake or a letdown. And that’s what we had in that playoff game – we had a huge letdown all across the board. It wasn’t just one person or one side of the ball.

We had two totally different scenarios at the end of the past two seasons. Obviously, you play to get the bye, you play to get that rest and you play for homefield advantage. We put ourselves in a position to be successful. The only negative with that is that other teams can start to build momentum, as we did the year before.

The Giants did that this year – they were a hot team, they had built a lot of momentum and they came in steam-rolling already. It carries over, no matter how you fall into the playoffs. Once you’re in, if you’re hot, you’re hot at the right time. Still, you play to put yourself in position to get the bye. We have to be more resilient than we showed on that day – they were the better team in that game.

On Aaron Rodgers...

He is one of those guys who presents so many different skill-sets and strengths that it’s hard to find a weakness. It’s more challenging to try to find a weakness than it is to define all of his strengths. He’s so smart and he’s great in the pocket. His footwork is excellent and so is his ball placement and accuracy.

I’ve never been around a quarterback who is probably more accurate outside the pocket than he is in the pocket. That’s saying a lot because he is extremely accurate in the pocket. He’s very smart and he’s one of those quarterbacks who competes every day with himself, not with the defense. He competes within himself to get better every day so when you have a guy who is doing that, he is a great leader to have on your team.

On Rodgers’ trademark back-shoulder throws to Greg Jennings...

They are very difficult to defend. It’s one of those plays where you can’t be right on the defense because you have a guy who is that accurate who can put the ball anywhere he wants on the field. That really makes it hard on the defender to make a play on the ball.

On the differences between Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre...

On the field, there are some similarities. Definitely, Aaron has the advantage when it comes to his outside the pocket accuracy and his decision making as a whole. He’s just one of those quarterbacks who is very smart and very decisive, and very rarely does he make a mistake. And when he does, you can guarantee he’s not going to make it again.

With Brett, he was more of a gunslinger and he took more chances. Aaron takes chances but he’s smart and selective with his chance-taking. Brett was one of those guys who if he saw something as he dropped back, he was going for it. Sometimes it worked out and sometimes it didn’t. They are different in that respect. But as competitors, they are very similar – they both have the kind of will to win that can lift a team up and get them over the hump.

On whether Packers fans will ever welcome Brett Favre back to Lambeau Field...

I’m sure they will. I’m positive they will because of what he did here. He turned this franchise around with his play at the quarterback position and Aaron has just taken it to another level. The fans still remember what Brett was able to do.

I never really compare them because they are two totally different quarterbacks. Brett was great when he was here and Aaron is great now. I’ve been pretty spoiled in having two great quarterbacks.

On the 2012 season...

I’m feeling really good. I missed some time in 2011 with my first real major injury but I was able to bounce back. And now my body feels great. I got some rest and recovery that was much needed and now I feel 100 per cent. I’m ready for this upcoming season.

Any time you don’t get the job done and accomplish the goals that we set out to accomplish, you have a bitter taste in your mouth and you want to avenge that defeat. We want to get that taste out of our mouth.

On that being easier said than done in a competitive NFC this season...

It’s really a strong conference and I genuinely feel we have to take it one game at a time every single week. Every week we face our next speed bump, our next hurdle, our next obstacle. You can’t be selective and say, ‘We’re not getting up for this game.’

We lost to Kansas City last year and they didn’t make the playoffs – that was not a game people would have circled as a potential hiccup for the Packers. That just goes to show you have to get up for every game, week in and week out.
