00:02 - First of all, the Jets' low off the pass-off

00:05 and score is more than just the quarterback.

00:07 It also has to do with their offensive line

00:10 a little bit once again.

00:11 But look, you guys know, I mean, I said in-game,

00:14 Aaron Rodgers, unfortunately, Achilles.

00:16 And I said, as soon as the news was announced

00:19 that it was true that there's a snowballs chance

00:21 that he could return.

00:22 What is that?

00:23 Don't take the cheese on this surgery, Speedbridge.

00:26 It's a sexy name.

00:27 That technique's been around for over a decade, okay?

00:30 But here's the thing.

00:31 Cam Akers returned after six months,

00:34 and people are saying,

00:35 "But how does a 40-year-old return, beat that return?"

00:37 Because he plays quarterback, you know?

00:40 I guarantee you Aaron Rodgers come playoff time

00:44 will be more mobile than let's say my guy,

00:46 Phillip Rivers, was in his career, right?

00:48 I mean, he's gonna be able to do it

00:50 and wait till mid-season when he's walking

00:52 on the sideline in a boot

00:54 and then the rumors will start again.

00:55 But here's the issue.

00:56 He won't be 100%, but you gotta thread the needle

01:00 in order for this to happen.

01:01 His recovery has to go well.

01:02 Zach Wilson has to play well and get him to the playoffs.

01:05 Now, if Zach Wilson plays well enough

01:07 and gets him to the playoffs, do you switch?

01:09 This is what I was saying last year.

01:11 I don't care if Jimmy Garoppolo's back for the Super Bowl.

01:13 How do you go away from Brock Purdy

01:15 if he got you to the Super Bowl?

01:17 And obviously, you know, he got injured, et cetera.

01:19 So maybe Zach Wilson gets him there and gets injured

01:22 and Aaron Rodgers is doing well.

01:23 So you can thread that needle and it's possible.

01:25 And I was saying that five, six days ago,

01:28 but it's not likely when you throw everything together there.

01:32 (upbeat music)

01:35 (bells chiming)
