let’s get to your New York Jets now I got some breaking news from Source once again this is journalism yesterday some videos hit the internet of Aaron roders taking off his shoes and his socks oh no is the Achilles is there something wrong with the Achilles again then there was some reps was he running at full speed did he look like his Achilles was hurting a little bit more uh from the from the source says that I have uh blister prevention potential lingering effects from Co toe oh no do not know do not know if this is lingering effects from Co toe that is from a anonymous source say when you see that video and when you see anything out of the New York Jets OTAs what are your thoughts and are we back to the hype that we were last year before four plays in it all ends greeny yes we are right back there we we are as hopeful as we have ever been in a very very long time not since 1999 have I been as hopeful for what a except for last year have I been as hopeful for what a jet season could be because this team frankly is better than it was a year ago and we we even are built to survive a normal quarterback injury a kovo is one thing um torn Achilles is another thing entirely a more normal injury like a turned ankle that cost us two or three weeks which most quarterbacks are going to have the Jets actually are prepared with a legitimate backup quarterback this time in Tyrod Taylor so I am extraordinarily hopeful about the Jets I had not seen that video until your sources just shared it with me now um and it Disturbed me greatly we need Aaron wrapped in in bubble wrap I need him S I need him just kept like remember there was when I was young you guys are too young there was a movie called The Boy in the Plastic Bubble starring John Travolta where like they literally didn’t let him out he couldn’t be he couldn’t be in contact with people for fear of germs that’s where I want Rogers from now until the opener in San Francisco on Monday night see Our Generation had Bubble Boy so we it was very Seinfeld same idea yeah no the movie there there was there was a whole movie Bubble Boy I do yeah Jake dylen Hall yeah like uh obviously mom a little bit you know a little bit over yep uh we need to make I guess this seems to be generational about time for another one we need bubble movie yeah we need another bubble movie maybe aon’s greeny so I your your expectations this year compared to last year I I hope you’re actually even more excited this year but I guess what do you think of like what is the success for the New York Jets and what’s your biggest worry about this team right now heading into the season I mean the biggest worry I think honestly is the coaching um the Jets are better their roster is better than it was a year ago yikes obviously Rogers has to be healthy I mean the pieces they’ve added you don’t need me to run over all of the offensive linemen that they got and the one that they drafted in Mike Williams who they signed the defense should be absolutely outstanding I they should be by far the best defense that Aaron Rogers has ever played with so a we need Rogers to be mostly all the way back I don’t know what is a reasonable expect uh expectation for a 41 year old quarterback coming off of an Achilles but I don’t think he has to be Peak Aaron Rodgers he’s going to the second he walks out on the field he’s going to be the best quarterback the Jets have had in a long time and so long as he is standing upright I’m pretty confident he’ll be fine I do worry a little bit about the coaching I I think the the jury is very much out on the head coach on the offensive coordinator and on everybody else involved and I count on Rogers to clean up a lot of that when when he was asked I forgot what show I I I someone showed me a clip he was on us Show recently and they asked him why should fans trust Nathaniel hacket and Aaron’s answer was because I do and you should trust me and that’s a great answer I mean everything about the Jets um beyond the talent on the field has to come together because Rogers pulls it all together I I still believe it all fell art last year because it was all built around him he is like the sun and everything else is orbiting around him the hemoglobin that’s the right that’s exactly the way it should be that that’s that’s the Jet’s best chance we’ve tried handing this franchise to a lot of different people over the last 50 years no one’s been able to do it let’s give it to one of the players who’s actually proven he knows how to do it and let’s follow him so I’m 100% on board with all of that but I think that would be aside from the obvious injury concerns which every team has the Jets have some injury-prone players they brought in Tyron Smith and Mike Williams and others those every team has those to some degree but if if the Jets I the the start of the schedule is tough three games in 11 days two of them on the road to start the season I I worry a little bit about it starting badly and then some negative Vibes creeping in and hopefully that not becoming a real issue but all things considered to answer the beginning of your question AJ this is the best team the Jets have had in 20 years at least this is better than any of the teams Herman Edwards took to the play or the one that Eric manini did or any of the teams Rex Ryan took to the AFC Championship game they have just better players that’s that’s not even debatable so the AFC is loaded a realistic a successful I think the Jets have to get to the playoffs and at least win a game for it to be a success I think anything short of that would be a failure very hard for me to sit here and say if they win a playoff game and then they lose a heartbreaker to Joe burrow or Patrick Mahomes or someone like that the season that that’s hard to Richardson in Indianapolis or CJ stra in Houston or um the guy who’s going to take over the league at some point which is Justin Herbert I think for Harbaugh in La um eventually I think he’s going to be he’s got the best coach now so I have a huge um fear of him so I think anything short of that would be a major disappointment just go back to one of the things you talked about with Aaron saying I trust hacket so you guys should and obviously you haven’t really had the opportunity to watch an entire season of Aaron Rogers football and everything like that he very much views like the West Coast offense as like art and like a a painter has to be a part of it and he and hacket have grown up in that system together so like he sees like he even last year whenever the offense looked completely inept and everybody was like what the hell is hacking how does this guy even know what football is after what happened in Denver and it was happening last year you talked to Aaron I think Aaron says you look at some of those plays what was supposed to happen would have worked in those he’s not scared to check it down he’s not scared to check it to a run like not looking to throw for 500 yards every single week he is taking whatever the best option is for that particular play that he knows the offense of inside and out and so does hackit so I think that’s why he has come out in such back in in response for hackit because there I don’t know how many people know the West Coast offense as well as Aaron and Hackett do and asking Russell Wilson to be able to do it in one year I think was tall task and then Zach and everybody else for the Jets it’s like tall task I think that’s why Aaron’s so confident cuz he he sees the play differently than how other people that don’t understand what they’re trying to do and the potential offense that they’re trying to run I think that is why he’s like I trust him and I think it’s going to look different I do not that it’s going to look more explosive but like he’s going to make the right decision for the play and I think that’s a head start over other teams just to begin with so I got a lot of faith even though he is old as now he he’s the oldest guy you know what I mean but I think that helps in this situation greeny I I I think everything you just said I agree with with completely if you were to make a list of the reasons the Jets offense was awful last year Nathaniel Hackett would barely even be on it um you could have given Bill Walsh that offensive line and that quarterback and I don’t know how much better it all would have looked they have infinitely better Talent they are infinitely deeper and they have Aaron freak and Rogers now so I’m not at all worried about Nathaniel hack and I’m honestly I think if the Jets remain mostly healthy then there is every reason to think that they are one of the two or three best teams in the AFC right there alongside anyone else you want to name Houston I think is very good obviously I know you love your Colts the Bengals I think will be really good again and Kansas City is always Kansas City the Jets are right there with any of them
