Yet another bumpy flight for the Jets. Well come in
the be gaining of another night of the Benmahlers Show.
We are in the air everywhere you united as we

should be. Steven Manhattan, I got a message from from
Terry in Ingland He's like, oh, Steve's not gonna call it. No, Steve,
you don't understand the mindset of the Jet Finn. The
(01:36):
Jet Finn would rather the team be a pit of
misery than good. So I would push back on that.
This is a vintage night for the Jets franchise. Our lead,
don't bear the lead. Our lead from the Bay Area.
That's what everyone's talking about. That is where the final
chapter of Week one of the NFL storybook came to
(01:59):
an end. The Rock Purty and the Ragning runner ups
in the NFL, the forty nine Ers hosting airon Rogers,
and the j E t s Suck Suck, Suck. Now
you had the the old Fox refugees, Joe Back and
Troy Aikman who were calling the game. And I don't
if you saw it or not. Maybe you did not
watch it. You might have direct TV and you were
(02:20):
l screwed. But don't worry. We watched it so you
would not have to and you didn't miss much. You
did not miss much. Someone named Jordan Mason, we don't
even know who that is, but he ran circles around
the Jets finished with one hundred and forty seven yards
(02:40):
and touchdown, and he was the backup because Christian McCaffery
couldn't play. The forty nine Ers sullying the Aaron Rodgers
comeback story, the highly publicized comeback up Aaron Rodgers a
thirty two nineteen thumping, easily covering the points spread without
(03:01):
their top player, a win for the Niners over the
Jets on Monday night. The better story is in the
losing locker room. So that is where we begin. Let
us discuss the question what is the good, the bad,
and the ugly from this performance for Robert Sallas Jets.
(03:21):
So I've got Medello, lows, and academia, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make a pack up your bag and leave situation,
which is what the Jets did. They packed up their bag,
They got the heck out of there right after he
(03:41):
came ended. Well, I guess the good news this nobody died.
As far as we know, no one died. There were
no death reported in the Jets traveling party. To my knowledge,
no players were seriously injured in the game for the Jets.
Now the bad that would be Aaron Rogers and the offense.
More on that coming up. Up here in a bit.
(04:01):
The ugly was the defense. Now, I had been told
by the experts that the Jets they love this defense.
They had first round pick, second round picks all over
this defense. They love to pump their chest out and
bragg very braggadocious about the defense. For the Jets. Gang
(04:23):
Green played like they had Gang Green in this game.
That was the junior varsity absolutely manhandled and the forty
nine ers offso on the defensive side against the Niners.
Against the Jets rather offensive line. The Niners defense bruised
and battered the New York offensive line on both sides,
(04:47):
both sides the Island game. Everyone's watching the Island game,
living the island life. To give me an idea of
how big a manhandle this was for the Jets defense.
With all those first and second round picks. The forty
nine Ers scored eight consecutive drives. Eight times they either
got a field goal or a touchdown. The big uglies,
(05:11):
the big uglies. The Jets were kicked, they were need
they were elbowed, they were poked in the eye from
pillar to post in this particular game. And they played
gutless football. And that is the worst thing you can
say about a team watching the approach the Jets have.
(05:32):
This is a referendum on the motivational speaker, the Tony
Robbins of the NFL, Robert Sala whose pedigree is that
of a defensive guru, defensive coordinator for the forty nine
ersho the Jets happened to be playing. So this is
a measuring sticky. This is a measuring stick We know
the Jets aren't as good as the forty nine ers,
(05:53):
but how far away are they? And we have the
answer now I can say, beyond a reasonable doubt, the
Jets at this point in the NFL season blow chunks.
They blow jeez. There's a line that I love. The
late Mike Leach had it, and I apply this to
(06:13):
all coaches. I honor the memory of Mike Leach, my
favorite all time college football coach, Mike Leach, who preached
that you're either coaching it or you're allowing it to happen.
And I used that standard for Robert Salah and the Jets.
The green team lacking that modello. They should have passed
out medello before the game. They did not have the
(06:34):
fighting spirit. I didn't realize they traveled by stage coach
from New Jersey to California. Did they get the Spanish
flu somewhere in Colorado? I don't know, but they were
absolutely emasculated. They showed no real pushback at all. You
even had I love this sauce Gardener. Now, if you
believe the Jets take them at face value. All these
(06:54):
teams lie. But the Jets claimed that sauce Gardener, who
didn't play a lot in the second quarter. The Jets
were saying he wasn't heard, they said. They essentially said
he was. He was out of breath, he was out
of shape. Say what, he's not fat, he's he's a
(07:15):
little saucy, he sauce Gardener. And he missed a block
in the in the second quarter. He had to catch
his breath. It's game one. These guys don't even play
in the exhibition games during training. Get what are we doing?
Wowser's all right now? Page two. Let's get now to
(07:35):
the Komodo Dragon. The Komodo Dragon. There's a fly buzzing
around here. By the way, it just landed on my
face here that said wild anyway, So let's get to
a page two. How did Aaron Rodgers look for the
Jets so this is a cover your eyes situation. The
(07:57):
Benny bright side in me, He says, well, he looked,
he looked choppy. That's the bright side part of it.
Mix and match, a drop pass here, a tip pass
over there, frustration mounting. That was the kind of performance
you expect from a Jets quarterback. That wasn't what people remember.
Rogers was becoming bad as last year in Green Bay.
(08:21):
He was starting to show signs of falling apart. But
the overall body of work, I think you'd agree with
me on this that the body of work was pretty good. Right.
And the question is, while this was a bumpy flight,
lot of a lot of issues. There a lot of
turbulence for the flight here. The oxidation can't be fixed, right,
(08:45):
Was this simply corrosion from not playing in a long
time and going out and having a lot of ayahuasca
with Joe Rogan and things like that. Because you can
fix that, oxidation can be fixed, you go down to
Low's or Home Depot, whatever your favid hardware store is,
and you buy an industrial sized container of WD forty.
(09:08):
The issue is there is a dimension where this is
not just Russ. This is Aaron Rodgers being an old
fogie that he's passed his expiration date, and that that's
the case. You're cooked. You are absolutely cooked. The Jets
will not fly out. Rogers did have the body language
(09:29):
of a guy that was starting to realize in the
late second quarter that this is not northern Wisconsin. This
is a little different. There might be one green, green
and white, but there's something else going on. Now the
last word here, We now pivot to the winning locker room,
not the better story, but the winning locker room. And
(09:50):
we asked the question what stood out to you the
most from the forty nine ers on their side of
the ledger. So I will address this to the esteem
panel here, and the first thought I have is academia.
It's like comparing different levels of education. You've got the
forty nine ers who are a master student, and then
(10:13):
you've got the Jets who are doing finger painting in kindergarten.
They're just trying to make sure they can hold their
urine to go to the bathroom. That's the Jets, right.
And now I'm not going to sit here and say
that I thought this was going to be the way
it played out. I did not. If you saw Benny
versus the Penny on television this past weekend. I was
(10:33):
optimistic that the Jets would be able to hang around here,
and I didn't see this type of domination coming. I
guess I should have, but all the drama was hovering
around the forty nine ers. You had holdouts in training camp,
lack of practice reps for the key players who were out.
You mix in. I didn't know this at the time
we did the TV show, but you got Christian McCaffrey
(10:55):
who missed the game. You had all the ingredients for
the forty nine ers to come out and have an
absolute clunker. It's early in the season these first couple
of weeks, so like glorified what used to be exhibition games.
But they don't play those anymore. The players don't. The
star players got forbid they play in these exhibition games.
So he had everything you needed in the recipe for
(11:16):
this game to be competitive, and yet even early on
I was still I was somewhat optimistic.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Girl.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Now Brandon IOC missed a opportunity to score a touchdown.
He dropped a touchdown. I guess they got to pay
more money to catch that pass. So you had that.
Yet Brock Purdy, who came out and was wobbly, was
wobbly in the first quarter of the game, and then
all of a sudden, this goose shows up that laid
the golden egg, someone named Jordan Mason. We still don't
really know who this guy was. And he steps in
(11:45):
and is the ultimate plug and play running back. This
has been the argument against paying a running back, and
the Niners paid a running back more than anyone in
Christian McCaffrey. And yet you put a guy like this
And how much of that was Jordan Mason, how much
of that was the scheme, and how much of that
was the Jets stink. Well we'll never know. But Jordan
Mason thirty three uneventful games undrafted out of the rambling
(12:08):
wreck of Georgia Tech, and he went from roster spam
to a starring role and one hundred and forty seven
yards pivoting moving around what you want. I mean, he
was able to run around through Jet defenders. He absolutely
torched the Jets. You got burned by Jordan Mason. That's
(12:36):
who beat you. That guy right there. And the lack
of ability on the offensive and defensive, I think the
Jets need to suck another twenty years and draft more
linemen and Yeah, that's the ticket.

(14:34):
More information out on the wacky story of the NFL
star who ended up in handcuffs on his way to
the stadium. Story everyone's yapping about here and if you
heard the latest, you might know where I'm going with this,
but maybe not. There was bodycam footage, a police bodycam
footage that was released by the Miami Dade Law Enforcement,
(14:56):
the officers involved in the altercation that led to the
detainment but not the arrest of Tyreek Hill. It has
been released, and when I've noticed is the people that
hate the police say that shows that was terrible. The
people that support the police say, well, something else happened,
(15:16):
so it don't really change anything. But the video does
show the events beginning with the motorcycle cop pulling over
Tyreek Hill. It later shows the officer removing Tyreek Hill
from his vehicle and forcibly bringing him to the ground
before cuffing him. The incident happened on Sunday, just before
(15:40):
the Dolphins played Jacksonville in Week one, and Tyreek played
in the game. The Dolphins issued a prepared statement saying
they were saddened by the altercation with police. Tyreek made
the rounds, wallowing in victimhood, doing every interview he could
possibly do. Now Hill was pulled over for speeding. He
(16:03):
told the reporters after the game on Sunday that he
had no idea, no idea why the situation escalated to
what ended up happening. So let us discuss how do
you assess the Tyreek Hill body cam police video which
is making the rounds. How do you assess it? So
I've got country mile, good housekeeping, and pyramid and pyramid.
(16:29):
We will combine all of these things together and we'll
let her rip. We're gonna let her rip. So first
of all, putting this under the malord microscope and frame
by frame, Tyreek Hill, let's just say it was not
totally transparent and honest. When he told the media that
he was totally respectful from the start of what happened
(16:52):
on Sunday, because the cam video showed something a little different,
and so it's one of those should have could have
would have likely been a simple traffic situation with angry,
grumbling police officer Tyreek just conflicting reports about how fast
(17:14):
he was going. The one that I'm gonna go with
is it was going sixty miles an hour in a
forty mile an hour zone. Now there's other people saying
he was going much faster than that, but we'll go
with sixty and a forty mile an hour zone. Now
he'll ends up if you go and watch the video,
even are blind guys. He ends up earning an assist
(17:34):
in this story in terms of there was a spark
to the fuse. There was a spark to the fuse.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Here.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
You had a hot, hot head cop and Tyreek gets
pulled over driving a three hundred and fifty thousand dollars automobile.
The officer approaches on a warm Sunday in Miami. The
officer approaches his door and he ends up having to
tap on the wind know to have Tyreek rolled down
(18:02):
the window. So that's that's the first bad sign. That's
the first bad sign. So that's that strike one. Now
he'll responds with don't tap on my window like that,
So there's there's a little escalation. Uh, you know, it's
not the worst thing in the world, but it's not
exactly complying. It's not exactly complying. Later, he left his
(18:24):
heavily tinted window up after initially rolling it down. And
from the police that I've talked to, that is a
universal sign of bad news if you're a cop. If
they you have a heavily tinted window and the window
is up, you don't know what the person's doing behind
the glass. So that strike two. So eventually Tyreek put
the window down. He then again put it back up,
(18:48):
and so there was a back and forth there and
it was that that escalated things a bit. Then they
took him out of the car because of that. He
wouldn't sit down. So you got three. So but the
whole point this is a country mile from what he
had said in the interview. Now, Tyreek made the rounds
on the different TV stations, as we mentioned, wallowing in victimhood,
(19:13):
and one of the things Tyreek Hill said in this
media circuit that he was doing is he said, I
could have been shot if I wasn't famous, is the
way he described it. And so that really stuck with
me because if you watch the police cam video, clearly
Tyreek didn't watch it because the cop, the main instigator
(19:38):
from the cop side of things, didn't have a clue
who Tyreek Hill was. One of the other officers like,
you know who that is, and the guy, I don't
know who that is and he's a star player for
the Dolphins. Shot are you telling me not everyone knows
who the Miami Dolphins players are. Apparently not. The guy
had no idea. But yet Tyreek has the to say, well,
(20:00):
if I wasn't famous, I would have been shot. Well,
they didn't know you were famous. Maybe if you were famous,
they knew you were famous, they wouldn't have pulled you
over in the first place, or they would have just
let you go. And they didn't let them go. But
the attitudes to this or while Tyreek was not, he
was not the biggest a hole in the world, right,
he didn't comply and he escalated the situation. The cop
(20:24):
was a hothead and clearly had issues. He had some
issues there. But my basic playbook and I don't know
if I'm right or not. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I've
done things wrong. In my entire life, I've been pulled over,
and every time zone, you know that, every time zone
in the United States, I've been pulled over for a
traffic violation. I have always been. My parents yelled at me.
(20:45):
When you get pulled over, you roll your window down,
you put your hands on the steering wheel, and make
sure that the cop can see your your hands on
the steering wheel, and then you're respectful, right, respectful and
all that, and you don't talk back, and then you're
usually gonna be okay. Now, so even that will not work.
You know, that will not work. If you want to
(21:07):
fight the machine. The time to fight the machine is
not while you're in the fire. That's not the time
to fight the machine. But you had a couple of
big ego people and they were going back and forth.
Then you had one of Tyreek Hill's teammates who pulled
over and thought he was going to be the peacemaker.
And then that escalated the situation because that cop was
(21:28):
annoyed because he stopped and he didn't move fast enough,
and so the whole thing went to next level. All right, Now,
turning the page on that, we got a couple of
things I want to discuss now we go to the
Jersey Turnpike. Or the Giants have decided they're not going
to make a change at quarterback after the first game
of the year. Yeah, the Giants will stick with Vanilla
(21:51):
Vic Daniel Jones as their starting quarterback. That comes from
the in battled head coach Brian Dable. They have no
plans to sign another quarterback for competition. They're going to
continue to rotate the backups between Drew Locke and Tommy
DeVito Tommy Cutlets. So the question is, why is Brian
(22:14):
Dable at least publicly sticking with Daniel Jones as the
Giants QB one after a el Stinko performance against the Vikings.
So I'm gonna approach this this way. I believe this
is a good housekeeping response by Brian Dable. Or go
(22:35):
the Giants have made their bed of nails. The bed
of nails is called Daniel Jones, and now they must
sleep in it. And Daniel Jones is holding the Giants
franchise hostage. He didn't play all that well a couple
years ago, but the Giants stumbled into a playoff game,
and they have to win a playoff game, and they
were hornswoggled to give Daniel Jones a new contract. He
(23:00):
didn't deserve the contract. The Giants passing game was like
fifteenth in the NFL the year they made the playoffs.
I think it was actually worse than that. It was
lower than that. Have to go back and check my notes,
but it was very good. They won. Some fluke things happen.
They won like nine games I believe it was. They
made the playoffs. But Brian Dable is tasked with turning
dirty water into wine. That's Daniel Jones dirty water. And
(23:22):
they are attached, for better or worse, they are attached
to the hip. All right, final thought, we go to Maryland.
Some fantasy football people very upset with coach Harbaugh. What
do you make of John Harbaugh not Jim John Harbaugh
saying the Ravens did not bring Derrick Henry to Baltimore
with the plan to give him thirty plus carries per game.
(23:46):
This comes after the Ravens lost to Kansas City and
the opener by a toe, and Derrick Henry for a
big stretch of that game in the second half was
an afterthought. So My position on this is that Harbaugh
is reminding those of you in the back of the
room here that it's all about Lamar, A, B, and C.
(24:08):
Is all about Lamar. He's really the featured running back
on the Ravens, and it's like the tip of the pyramid.
Everything goes through Lamar Jackson, and Derrick Henry is merely
a supporting actor. They think he's got a little left,
but not enough to be the feature back. And even
though all those years in Tennessee, the argument was Derrick
Henry was a grinded out back that got better as
(24:30):
the game went on, and when he got to around
twenty carries, his production went up, that he wore down
opposing defenders. Even with that background, the fact is that
Derrick Henry has crossed the rubicon, that he's passed the
threshold of sustain success the amount of touches, and so
Henry's going to have to take a back seat here.
(24:51):
And for Harball, it's all about that game script. It's
all about the game script. Henry is going to have
to pick up the scraps and that's the way it goes.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. It's Mallard.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
To the third degree, this is one big event. Gets Grail.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
After getting knocked around by the Diamondbacks on Sunday, fans
of the Astros took to social media to voice their
opinions that Justin Verlander should not pitch.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
In the playoffs. Yeah, Ben, is that the right move?
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Well? I think the Astros, the cheating Astro, should not
even be in the playoffs. But I hate to be
the bearer of bad news. He's going to start now.
Franbur Valdez will likely start the first game, and then
Verlander will start number two. But I would be shocked
if the cheating a holes start Verlander in game one.
And they don't really have much other than those two
(25:46):
guys in terms of name value. I know they've got
a guy from Toronto, but there's not a lot there
so in terms of playoff pedigree, so those oh, it's
like the Dodger. You know, Kershaw's going to probably get
a start and he staks next unless he's heard by then. Next.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
A Reason report claims that Lane Kiffin would be the
number one target of Florida should their head coaching spot
open up, and that Kiffen would accept the job.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
Ben, do you agree?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
All right? So the first thought I have is that
Lane Kiffin is not going to be the coach in
Mississippi long term, right, He's just passing through Oxford. That's
not his final destination. And Florida would make sense. You
could see the bull crap that Lane Kiffin serves up
working for a short period of time in Florida. So
(26:32):
it's something I can say. I also see Lane going
to the NFL. I can see Lane jumping back. He
got the opportunities a young guy with the Raiders, so
he's gonna bound somewhere else. It's not a terrible idea.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Next, former Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith's senior said on
Sunday that Justin Field should continue to start for the
Steelers because he fits better in offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's offense,
which historically has relied on mobile quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Ben, is he right? No, all they did was get
field goals against Atlanta. Russell Wilson can get field goals.
Put him out there. Who cares? Even Josh feels with it,
just feels with you that good?
Speaker 6 (27:04):
How do we Dow you pass this edition.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
That is a win. You can put it on the bar,

Speaker 6 (33:17):
Miller is who you were trying to think.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
You're so close. I think we should get like fifty
points because he said Mark and he met Mike, and
all those white guys are the same, so I think
I think we should have gotten it right. There.

Darren Sproles was who he was talking about, right the scrolls.
Roger Craig was the running back for that.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
We got t J. Hockinson though. That's worth like a
hundred points, right.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
He's he's one of the best tight ends.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
In the league. Not really, not anymore.
Speaker 6 (35:26):
I mean he's hurt right now.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yeah, he's been hurt the last two win.

You there, I'm here, all right, you're gonna run up
the score. You already won the game, but you're gonna
run it up, all right. A piece of the action.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
These athletes all own or owned part of a sports team.
Forty five seconds of the clock begin.

We are in the air everywhere you united as we

should be. Steven Manhattan, I got a message from from
Terry in Ingland He's like, oh, Steve's not gonna call it. No, Steve,
you don't understand the mindset of the Jet Finn. The
(01:36):
Jet Finn would rather the team be a pit of
misery than good. So I would push back on that.
This is a vintage night for the Jets franchise. Our lead,
don't bear the lead. Our lead from the Bay Area.
That's what everyone's talking about. That is where the final
chapter of Week one of the NFL storybook came to
(01:59):
an end. The Rock Purty and the Ragning runner ups
in the NFL, the forty nine Ers hosting airon Rogers,
and the j E t s Suck Suck, Suck. Now
you had the the old Fox refugees, Joe Back and
Troy Aikman who were calling the game. And I don't
if you saw it or not. Maybe you did not
watch it. You might have direct TV and you were
(02:20):
l screwed. But don't worry. We watched it so you
would not have to and you didn't miss much. You
did not miss much. Someone named Jordan Mason, we don't
even know who that is, but he ran circles around
the Jets finished with one hundred and forty seven yards
(02:40):
and touchdown, and he was the backup because Christian McCaffery
couldn't play. The forty nine Ers sullying the Aaron Rodgers
comeback story, the highly publicized comeback up Aaron Rodgers a
thirty two nineteen thumping, easily covering the points spread without
(03:01):
their top player, a win for the Niners over the
Jets on Monday night. The better story is in the
losing locker room. So that is where we begin. Let
us discuss the question what is the good, the bad,
and the ugly from this performance for Robert Sallas Jets.
(03:21):
So I've got Medello, lows, and academia, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make a pack up your bag and leave situation,
which is what the Jets did. They packed up their bag,
They got the heck out of there right after he
(03:41):
came ended. Well, I guess the good news this nobody died.
As far as we know, no one died. There were
no death reported in the Jets traveling party. To my knowledge,
no players were seriously injured in the game for the Jets.
Now the bad that would be Aaron Rogers and the offense.
More on that coming up. Up here in a bit.
(04:01):
The ugly was the defense. Now, I had been told
by the experts that the Jets they love this defense.
They had first round pick, second round picks all over
this defense. They love to pump their chest out and
bragg very braggadocious about the defense. For the Jets. Gang
(04:23):
Green played like they had Gang Green in this game.
That was the junior varsity absolutely manhandled and the forty
nine ers offso on the defensive side against the Niners.
Against the Jets rather offensive line. The Niners defense bruised
and battered the New York offensive line on both sides,
(04:47):
both sides the Island game. Everyone's watching the Island game,
living the island life. To give me an idea of
how big a manhandle this was for the Jets defense.
With all those first and second round picks. The forty
nine Ers scored eight consecutive drives. Eight times they either
got a field goal or a touchdown. The big uglies,
(05:11):
the big uglies. The Jets were kicked, they were need
they were elbowed, they were poked in the eye from
pillar to post in this particular game. And they played
gutless football. And that is the worst thing you can
say about a team watching the approach the Jets have.
(05:32):
This is a referendum on the motivational speaker, the Tony
Robbins of the NFL, Robert Sala whose pedigree is that
of a defensive guru, defensive coordinator for the forty nine
ersho the Jets happened to be playing. So this is
a measuring sticky. This is a measuring stick We know
the Jets aren't as good as the forty nine ers,
(05:53):
but how far away are they? And we have the
answer now I can say, beyond a reasonable doubt, the
Jets at this point in the NFL season blow chunks.
They blow jeez. There's a line that I love. The
late Mike Leach had it, and I apply this to
(06:13):
all coaches. I honor the memory of Mike Leach, my
favorite all time college football coach, Mike Leach, who preached
that you're either coaching it or you're allowing it to happen.
And I used that standard for Robert Salah and the Jets.
The green team lacking that modello. They should have passed
out medello before the game. They did not have the
(06:34):
fighting spirit. I didn't realize they traveled by stage coach
from New Jersey to California. Did they get the Spanish
flu somewhere in Colorado? I don't know, but they were
absolutely emasculated. They showed no real pushback at all. You
even had I love this sauce Gardener. Now, if you
believe the Jets take them at face value. All these
(06:54):
teams lie. But the Jets claimed that sauce Gardener, who
didn't play a lot in the second quarter. The Jets
were saying he wasn't heard, they said. They essentially said
he was. He was out of breath, he was out
of shape. Say what, he's not fat, he's he's a
(07:15):
little saucy, he sauce Gardener. And he missed a block
in the in the second quarter. He had to catch
his breath. It's game one. These guys don't even play
in the exhibition games during training. Get what are we doing?
Wowser's all right now? Page two. Let's get now to
(07:35):
the Komodo Dragon. The Komodo Dragon. There's a fly buzzing
around here. By the way, it just landed on my
face here that said wild anyway, So let's get to
a page two. How did Aaron Rodgers look for the
Jets so this is a cover your eyes situation. The
(07:57):
Benny bright side in me, He says, well, he looked,
he looked choppy. That's the bright side part of it.
Mix and match, a drop pass here, a tip pass
over there, frustration mounting. That was the kind of performance
you expect from a Jets quarterback. That wasn't what people remember.
Rogers was becoming bad as last year in Green Bay.
(08:21):
He was starting to show signs of falling apart. But
the overall body of work, I think you'd agree with
me on this that the body of work was pretty good. Right.
And the question is, while this was a bumpy flight,
lot of a lot of issues. There a lot of
turbulence for the flight here. The oxidation can't be fixed, right,
(08:45):
Was this simply corrosion from not playing in a long
time and going out and having a lot of ayahuasca
with Joe Rogan and things like that. Because you can
fix that, oxidation can be fixed, you go down to
Low's or Home Depot, whatever your favid hardware store is,
and you buy an industrial sized container of WD forty.
(09:08):
The issue is there is a dimension where this is
not just Russ. This is Aaron Rodgers being an old
fogie that he's passed his expiration date, and that that's
the case. You're cooked. You are absolutely cooked. The Jets
will not fly out. Rogers did have the body language
(09:29):
of a guy that was starting to realize in the
late second quarter that this is not northern Wisconsin. This
is a little different. There might be one green, green
and white, but there's something else going on. Now the
last word here, We now pivot to the winning locker room,
not the better story, but the winning locker room. And
(09:50):
we asked the question what stood out to you the
most from the forty nine ers on their side of
the ledger. So I will address this to the esteem
panel here, and the first thought I have is academia.
It's like comparing different levels of education. You've got the
forty nine ers who are a master student, and then
(10:13):
you've got the Jets who are doing finger painting in kindergarten.
They're just trying to make sure they can hold their
urine to go to the bathroom. That's the Jets, right.
And now I'm not going to sit here and say
that I thought this was going to be the way
it played out. I did not. If you saw Benny
versus the Penny on television this past weekend. I was
(10:33):
optimistic that the Jets would be able to hang around here,
and I didn't see this type of domination coming. I
guess I should have, but all the drama was hovering
around the forty nine ers. You had holdouts in training camp,
lack of practice reps for the key players who were out.
You mix in. I didn't know this at the time
we did the TV show, but you got Christian McCaffrey
(10:55):
who missed the game. You had all the ingredients for
the forty nine ers to come out and have an
absolute clunker. It's early in the season these first couple
of weeks, so like glorified what used to be exhibition games.
But they don't play those anymore. The players don't. The
star players got forbid they play in these exhibition games.
So he had everything you needed in the recipe for
(11:16):
this game to be competitive, and yet even early on
I was still I was somewhat optimistic.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Girl.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Now Brandon IOC missed a opportunity to score a touchdown.
He dropped a touchdown. I guess they got to pay
more money to catch that pass. So you had that.
Yet Brock Purdy, who came out and was wobbly, was
wobbly in the first quarter of the game, and then
all of a sudden, this goose shows up that laid
the golden egg, someone named Jordan Mason. We still don't
really know who this guy was. And he steps in
(11:45):
and is the ultimate plug and play running back. This
has been the argument against paying a running back, and
the Niners paid a running back more than anyone in
Christian McCaffrey. And yet you put a guy like this
And how much of that was Jordan Mason, how much
of that was the scheme, and how much of that
was the Jets stink. Well we'll never know. But Jordan
Mason thirty three uneventful games undrafted out of the rambling
(12:08):
wreck of Georgia Tech, and he went from roster spam
to a starring role and one hundred and forty seven
yards pivoting moving around what you want. I mean, he
was able to run around through Jet defenders. He absolutely
torched the Jets. You got burned by Jordan Mason. That's
(12:36):
who beat you. That guy right there. And the lack
of ability on the offensive and defensive, I think the
Jets need to suck another twenty years and draft more
linemen and Yeah, that's the ticket.

(14:34):
More information out on the wacky story of the NFL
star who ended up in handcuffs on his way to
the stadium. Story everyone's yapping about here and if you
heard the latest, you might know where I'm going with this,
but maybe not. There was bodycam footage, a police bodycam
footage that was released by the Miami Dade Law Enforcement,
(14:56):
the officers involved in the altercation that led to the
detainment but not the arrest of Tyreek Hill. It has
been released, and when I've noticed is the people that
hate the police say that shows that was terrible. The
people that support the police say, well, something else happened,
(15:16):
so it don't really change anything. But the video does
show the events beginning with the motorcycle cop pulling over
Tyreek Hill. It later shows the officer removing Tyreek Hill
from his vehicle and forcibly bringing him to the ground
before cuffing him. The incident happened on Sunday, just before
(15:40):
the Dolphins played Jacksonville in Week one, and Tyreek played
in the game. The Dolphins issued a prepared statement saying
they were saddened by the altercation with police. Tyreek made
the rounds, wallowing in victimhood, doing every interview he could
possibly do. Now Hill was pulled over for speeding. He
(16:03):
told the reporters after the game on Sunday that he
had no idea, no idea why the situation escalated to
what ended up happening. So let us discuss how do
you assess the Tyreek Hill body cam police video which
is making the rounds. How do you assess it? So
I've got country mile, good housekeeping, and pyramid and pyramid.
(16:29):
We will combine all of these things together and we'll
let her rip. We're gonna let her rip. So first
of all, putting this under the malord microscope and frame
by frame, Tyreek Hill, let's just say it was not
totally transparent and honest. When he told the media that
he was totally respectful from the start of what happened
(16:52):
on Sunday, because the cam video showed something a little different,
and so it's one of those should have could have
would have likely been a simple traffic situation with angry,
grumbling police officer Tyreek just conflicting reports about how fast
(17:14):
he was going. The one that I'm gonna go with
is it was going sixty miles an hour in a
forty mile an hour zone. Now there's other people saying
he was going much faster than that, but we'll go
with sixty and a forty mile an hour zone. Now
he'll ends up if you go and watch the video,
even are blind guys. He ends up earning an assist
(17:34):
in this story in terms of there was a spark
to the fuse. There was a spark to the fuse.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Here.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
You had a hot, hot head cop and Tyreek gets
pulled over driving a three hundred and fifty thousand dollars automobile.
The officer approaches on a warm Sunday in Miami. The
officer approaches his door and he ends up having to
tap on the wind know to have Tyreek rolled down
(18:02):
the window. So that's that's the first bad sign. That's
the first bad sign. So that's that strike one. Now
he'll responds with don't tap on my window like that,
So there's there's a little escalation. Uh, you know, it's
not the worst thing in the world, but it's not
exactly complying. It's not exactly complying. Later, he left his
(18:24):
heavily tinted window up after initially rolling it down. And
from the police that I've talked to, that is a
universal sign of bad news if you're a cop. If
they you have a heavily tinted window and the window
is up, you don't know what the person's doing behind
the glass. So that strike two. So eventually Tyreek put
the window down. He then again put it back up,
(18:48):
and so there was a back and forth there and
it was that that escalated things a bit. Then they
took him out of the car because of that. He
wouldn't sit down. So you got three. So but the
whole point this is a country mile from what he
had said in the interview. Now, Tyreek made the rounds
on the different TV stations, as we mentioned, wallowing in victimhood,
(19:13):
and one of the things Tyreek Hill said in this
media circuit that he was doing is he said, I
could have been shot if I wasn't famous, is the
way he described it. And so that really stuck with
me because if you watch the police cam video, clearly
Tyreek didn't watch it because the cop, the main instigator
(19:38):
from the cop side of things, didn't have a clue
who Tyreek Hill was. One of the other officers like,
you know who that is, and the guy, I don't
know who that is and he's a star player for
the Dolphins. Shot are you telling me not everyone knows
who the Miami Dolphins players are. Apparently not. The guy
had no idea. But yet Tyreek has the to say, well,
(20:00):
if I wasn't famous, I would have been shot. Well,
they didn't know you were famous. Maybe if you were famous,
they knew you were famous, they wouldn't have pulled you
over in the first place, or they would have just
let you go. And they didn't let them go. But
the attitudes to this or while Tyreek was not, he
was not the biggest a hole in the world, right,
he didn't comply and he escalated the situation. The cop
(20:24):
was a hothead and clearly had issues. He had some
issues there. But my basic playbook and I don't know
if I'm right or not. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I've
done things wrong. In my entire life, I've been pulled over,
and every time zone, you know that, every time zone
in the United States, I've been pulled over for a
traffic violation. I have always been. My parents yelled at me.
(20:45):
When you get pulled over, you roll your window down,
you put your hands on the steering wheel, and make
sure that the cop can see your your hands on
the steering wheel, and then you're respectful, right, respectful and
all that, and you don't talk back, and then you're
usually gonna be okay. Now, so even that will not work.
You know, that will not work. If you want to
(21:07):
fight the machine. The time to fight the machine is
not while you're in the fire. That's not the time
to fight the machine. But you had a couple of
big ego people and they were going back and forth.
Then you had one of Tyreek Hill's teammates who pulled
over and thought he was going to be the peacemaker.
And then that escalated the situation because that cop was
(21:28):
annoyed because he stopped and he didn't move fast enough,
and so the whole thing went to next level. All right, Now,
turning the page on that, we got a couple of
things I want to discuss now we go to the
Jersey Turnpike. Or the Giants have decided they're not going
to make a change at quarterback after the first game
of the year. Yeah, the Giants will stick with Vanilla
(21:51):
Vic Daniel Jones as their starting quarterback. That comes from
the in battled head coach Brian Dable. They have no
plans to sign another quarterback for competition. They're going to
continue to rotate the backups between Drew Locke and Tommy
DeVito Tommy Cutlets. So the question is, why is Brian
(22:14):
Dable at least publicly sticking with Daniel Jones as the
Giants QB one after a el Stinko performance against the Vikings.
So I'm gonna approach this this way. I believe this
is a good housekeeping response by Brian Dable. Or go
(22:35):
the Giants have made their bed of nails. The bed
of nails is called Daniel Jones, and now they must
sleep in it. And Daniel Jones is holding the Giants
franchise hostage. He didn't play all that well a couple
years ago, but the Giants stumbled into a playoff game,
and they have to win a playoff game, and they
were hornswoggled to give Daniel Jones a new contract. He
(23:00):
didn't deserve the contract. The Giants passing game was like
fifteenth in the NFL the year they made the playoffs.
I think it was actually worse than that. It was
lower than that. Have to go back and check my notes,
but it was very good. They won. Some fluke things happen.
They won like nine games I believe it was. They
made the playoffs. But Brian Dable is tasked with turning
dirty water into wine. That's Daniel Jones dirty water. And
(23:22):
they are attached, for better or worse, they are attached
to the hip. All right, final thought, we go to Maryland.
Some fantasy football people very upset with coach Harbaugh. What
do you make of John Harbaugh not Jim John Harbaugh
saying the Ravens did not bring Derrick Henry to Baltimore
with the plan to give him thirty plus carries per game.
(23:46):
This comes after the Ravens lost to Kansas City and
the opener by a toe, and Derrick Henry for a
big stretch of that game in the second half was
an afterthought. So My position on this is that Harbaugh
is reminding those of you in the back of the
room here that it's all about Lamar, A, B, and C.
(24:08):
Is all about Lamar. He's really the featured running back
on the Ravens, and it's like the tip of the pyramid.
Everything goes through Lamar Jackson, and Derrick Henry is merely
a supporting actor. They think he's got a little left,
but not enough to be the feature back. And even
though all those years in Tennessee, the argument was Derrick
Henry was a grinded out back that got better as
(24:30):
the game went on, and when he got to around
twenty carries, his production went up, that he wore down
opposing defenders. Even with that background, the fact is that
Derrick Henry has crossed the rubicon, that he's passed the
threshold of sustain success the amount of touches, and so
Henry's going to have to take a back seat here.
(24:51):
And for Harball, it's all about that game script. It's
all about the game script. Henry is going to have
to pick up the scraps and that's the way it goes.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. It's Mallard.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
To the third degree, this is one big event. Gets Grail.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
After getting knocked around by the Diamondbacks on Sunday, fans
of the Astros took to social media to voice their
opinions that Justin Verlander should not pitch.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
In the playoffs. Yeah, Ben, is that the right move?
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Well? I think the Astros, the cheating Astro, should not
even be in the playoffs. But I hate to be
the bearer of bad news. He's going to start now.
Franbur Valdez will likely start the first game, and then
Verlander will start number two. But I would be shocked
if the cheating a holes start Verlander in game one.
And they don't really have much other than those two
(25:46):
guys in terms of name value. I know they've got
a guy from Toronto, but there's not a lot there
so in terms of playoff pedigree, so those oh, it's
like the Dodger. You know, Kershaw's going to probably get
a start and he staks next unless he's heard by then. Next.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
A Reason report claims that Lane Kiffin would be the
number one target of Florida should their head coaching spot
open up, and that Kiffen would accept the job.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
Ben, do you agree?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
All right? So the first thought I have is that
Lane Kiffin is not going to be the coach in
Mississippi long term, right, He's just passing through Oxford. That's
not his final destination. And Florida would make sense. You
could see the bull crap that Lane Kiffin serves up
working for a short period of time in Florida. So
(26:32):
it's something I can say. I also see Lane going
to the NFL. I can see Lane jumping back. He
got the opportunities a young guy with the Raiders, so
he's gonna bound somewhere else. It's not a terrible idea.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Next, former Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith's senior said on
Sunday that Justin Field should continue to start for the
Steelers because he fits better in offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's offense,
which historically has relied on mobile quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Ben, is he right? No, all they did was get
field goals against Atlanta. Russell Wilson can get field goals.
Put him out there. Who cares? Even Josh feels with it,
just feels with you that good?
Speaker 6 (27:04):
How do we Dow you pass this edition.
Speaker 1 (27:06):

Chuck Chain.
