00:00Let's begin with the Jets. Of this four-pack of teams here, I think they had the highest

00:09expectations. They were the only division favorite in New York this year. Favor to win

00:14a very difficult AFC East. The panic meter has a number of scales, Leecey. Where did

00:20you land on it for the New York Jets?

00:22I asked the production crew before we started in regards to the show, could we put the panic

00:27meter off the charts for the New York Jets? Hot! Hot! Hot!

00:31Really?

00:32Yeah, I did. I said, I am panicking in a big way in regards to the New York Jets. That

00:38performance on Monday night was absolutely pathetic. Not just from an offensive perspective,

00:43more concerned with the defense. This was a defense that was supposed to be a top ten

00:47unit, right? All the best defense in regards to the AFC, Donnie. If all they had was a

00:51quarterback last year, they would have won the Super Bowl. Bring back Joe Namath and

00:55the 1969 New York Jets, this is it. Nine and a half win total. Favorites to potentially

01:01win the AFC East. Gutless. Gutless, gutless effort. And if that defense falls apart in

01:07somehow, some way, they lose to Will Levis in Tennessee today, that's going to be off

01:11the charts because Aaron Rodgers potentially isn't the answer.

01:14I mean, said like a true Homer Dolphins fan who doesn't like the Jets at this point.

01:19Stop!

01:20It's apparent there. We're being biased in this equation. Here's what I got. And yes,

01:24we will go back to last year with the New York Jets and say if they just got company

01:27quarterback play, they would be fine. You know what the only thing I cared about Monday

01:30night was? Is Aaron Rodgers upright? Does his arm look good? They will be just fine.

01:34The defense will come around, no doubt about it. And today is one of those games where

01:37the defense should have a walk in the park based on what we saw last week from the Titans.

01:41But for my Jets, as long as I take a look at Aaron Rodgers, still playing well here

01:45and now I'm a fan of the Jets, I feel like a true Dolphins fan, I've got to go against

01:48you here. I'm not worried about the Jets. I'm just not worried about the Jets.

01:51So I believe you checked in at concern, which then might make me feel like I'm worried due

01:57to my breakdown. But I'm calm on the Jets. I don't see it at all. They went to San Francisco.

02:05Look, I am somewhat fading the Niners this year relative to expectations. But I'm also

02:11not going to be right about everything, Miami Dolphins. There's a world the Niners are the

02:15absolute best team in football. And they pounded the rock. I think today, yes, if Tony Pollard

02:21runs for $1.50 on him, we got problems, okay? Because now, what does it matter if you have

02:26a superstar secondary if you can't stop the run? And I thought Rodgers looked fine. They

02:32didn't play well in the game. They got smashed by a great team. You're jumping off the meter

02:38one game?

02:39Yes, jumping off. They beat them down by double digits without Christian McCaffrey. Without

02:44IUK, leading that team in receptions with Debo basically lining up and carrying the

02:49football for 10 times and your gutless front seven didn't stop anybody. I mean, here's

02:54the thing. They go 0-2, right? Then it's all we heard all offseason. Easy schedule. They'll

03:00be there 4-2, 5-3 at worst after the first eight games. What if this team is under 500?

03:07Is Aaron Rodgers then going to step up and be accountable? Is he going to get in front

03:11of the podium? We know he runs the organization. And what is Robert Salah going to do?

03:16Listen, I mean, Robert Salah is going to get fired if this goes bad.

03:20But again, that is a major reason why I'm panicking right now.
