(upbeat music)
00:03
But of course, it is all around the circumstance
00:05
and the scenario of Aaron Rodgers.
00:07
The expectations all off season long.
00:10
The optimism finally for New York
00:12
and only four plays into his New York Jets tenure.
00:16
As the starting quarterback for gang green,
00:18
Aaron Rodgers is courted off the field
00:20
or walked off the field, courted into the locker room
00:23
with what appears, Nicky, by reports after the football game
00:27
to be a torn Achilles tendon,
00:28
sidelining Aaron Rodgers for the remainder of 2023.
00:33
So Nicky, with all of those circumstances at play here,
00:36
what is your reaction to last night in MetLife
00:39
between the Bills and the Jets?
00:41
- I honestly was just, when I saw him go down,
00:45
I think my initial reaction was, this has to be bad
00:48
because you could kind of see in his eyes,
00:50
he knew something was wrong, which is why he sat down.
00:53
And being someone that's coached gymnastics
00:56
and cheerleading for a long time,
00:57
when I see an Achilles injury,
00:58
I said it immediately to my family.
01:00
I was like, I think that's an Achilles
01:01
'cause you kind of saw the back of his calf bulge out
01:05
and I've seen numerous Achilles injuries.
01:07
So I was like, I think that's Achilles.
01:08
And everyone was like, no, no, no, I think it's the ankle.
01:10
And then come to find out it's probably his Achilles.
01:12
So for that, it just sucks.
01:14
I feel really bad for him and I feel bad for the team,
01:16
especially with all the hype that's been around the Jets.
01:18
Like, you just can't believe this is happening.
01:21
But then for me, I was just honestly shocked
01:23
that the Jets didn't just wave the white flag.
01:27
They're such a good team.
01:29
They have amazing offensive weapons.
01:30
Their defense is no joke.
01:32
So if they did have Aaron Rodgers
01:34
for the rest of the season, it really is,
01:36
wow, this team could win the Super Bowl.
01:38
Now it's, okay, what do they do at quarterback?
01:39
Because clearly it didn't work with Zach Wilson.
01:42
Can it work with him this time?
01:45
But the takeaway for me is this team really is no joke.
01:48
And it's kind of like what could have been
01:50
if Aaron Rodgers didn't go down.
