00:00The Jets, when the field goal went up and in from the Niners with four minutes to go,

00:10were obviously not going to win the game.

00:12It was now a three possession game.

00:15You had four minutes on the clock, 4.20 to be exact.

00:21It was going to be a Niners win.

00:25So Aaron Rodgers stays on the sideline.

00:29But the way that looked with the lack of reps that this team has, I would say, you know

00:33what, you probably should keep Rodgers and the starters out there.

00:38Well they kept the starters out there, Reese Hall, Garrett Wilson, Alan Lazard, Tyler Conklin.

00:47They're all out there.

00:50Not Rodgers.

00:52That's bad.

00:54That's the most concerning thing I think maybe I saw in this game.

00:58How could it not be?

01:00People will say, oh, come on, don't make a big deal out of it.

01:03You know, they can't risk injury.

01:06Ah!

01:07Ah!

01:08Hold on.

01:09Hold on a second now.

01:13You don't want to risk injury.

01:15Why is Brees Hall ripping off three carries on the drive?

01:18If you don't want to risk injury, why is Garrett Wilson out there getting peppered with targets?

01:25Taking over his reception prop for people who bet that.

01:27Love that for you.

01:28Anybody who bet him 60 plus yards, it was a great final drive.

01:33Somebody who had a beat Brees Hall live rushing prop.

01:36We almost got where we needed to be.

01:38Unfortunately, got tapped on the helmet.

01:40He did also at some point leave this drive and Braylon Allen got in the mix.

01:44Had a catch for nine and a rush for eight.

01:46But again, if we're so worried about injury, why are those guys not out there?

01:52Oh, well, because we're more worried about Rodgers.

01:55Not great.

01:56Not, I'm sorry, not great.

02:01In game number one, in this type of situation, you're thinking about Rodgers injury from

02:07last year because that's what it is, right?

02:13Or does Rodgers say, you know what?

02:15I don't need to be out there.

02:16I'm good.

02:17I am Rodgers.

02:18Brees Hall, maybe you need some reps.

02:19Garrett, you need some reps.

02:20I don't need reps.

02:21Who made that call?

02:22Robert Sala?

02:23Did Robert Sala say, hey, send the guys out there but Aaron?

02:28Nate Hackett?

02:29Was that Nate Hackett's decision?

02:30He said, hey, you know what?

02:31Let me see what I got in Tyrod here.

02:35That wouldn't make any sense.

02:37Who made that decision?

02:39That the starters go out but Aaron Rodgers.

02:43Rodgers make that call?

02:44Possible.

02:45It's on the board.

02:47You know it is.

02:50This defense didn't show up in this game.

02:53It happens.

02:55If it carries over a month, okay, then the Jets are in a terrible spot.

03:01They need to have an elite defense.

03:02I, preseason, would tell you they have the best defense in the National Football League.

03:07Last night was bad.

03:08Jordan Mason rumbling, bumbling, stumbling, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, all over this

03:12team.

03:13And we'll get to what that means.

03:14Brock Purdy was solid.

03:16Really clean game from Brock Purdy.

03:17No picks, no touchdowns, but eight yards per pass, 19 of 21, 231 yards in the air.

03:23Juwan Jennings stepped up.

03:24Debo did some all right things.

03:26Brandon Aiyuk, not great.

03:27It is what it is.

03:28Again, I think the Jets' defense will be fine.

03:30In fact, to some degree, the Jets' offense should be okay.

03:33The final numbers look better than what they were.

03:36But game one, final drive, Rodgers is on the sideline, everybody else is giving it a go.

03:44It's a bad look, and it lowers any confidence that I would have in the New York Jets.
