This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
The Brady Bunch returns to television, and many people seem
annoyed by that. Well, come in the beginning of another
night of the Ben Mahler Show. In another hour. We
are in the air everywhere, face to face as we
(00:53):
are the mixing and melting spoon coast, doug coast, border
to border and beyond. On the vast and spiffy powerful
microphones of fs are ammating live from the diarrhea, the
verbal diarrhea. We've got a case. We can't stop talking
all night long. We just got to keep that VU
(01:14):
meter moving. We're broadcasting live from the tier ract dot
com studios. Tyract dot Com will help you get there
in unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection
and over ten thousand recommended installers, almost as many fun
facts as alf the Alien opiner has sent in that
I have yet to use. Bad job by me ti
(01:35):
iraq dot com the way tire buying show be. So.
I attend random NFL games here where we are based.
And I did not go to an NFL game on Sunday,
partially because it was too hot or partially because somebody
screwed up my credential, but either way, I was not there.
I was not there, and our lead this hour from
the broadcast, I was able to soak in the much
(01:59):
ballly who beginning of the almost four hundred dollars four
hundred million dollar man, big difference between four hundred dollars
and four hundred million dollars. The Fox box that rocks
there if you were watching on Sunday the Cowboys and
the Browns, Tom Brady there, he was all dalled up,
(02:22):
looking good. Tom Brady made his broadcast debut on Sunday
on Fox. He called the week one snoozefest between the
Brownies and the Cowboys. The Cowboys put up a fight,
the Browns did not. Game was a no contest here.
Cleveland stinks and boys consistently stinks. So Tom Brady in
(02:46):
the broadcast booth, and how did he look? Early reviews
say he had some jitters there at the beginning of
the game. His voice was a little shaky, he paused
quite often. Some said he was absolutely awful. All this said,
he grew steadier as the game went on. So all
over the map, all over the map on the reviews
of Tom Brady. But who cares what they think? It's
(03:09):
all about what we think, right, It's all about you
and I. So the question what did you make of
Tom Brady's debut on Fox? Cowboys and rywns. So I've
got the rich Carlton Brand, ambassador and Fomo, and we
will combine all of these things together, and we're gonna
(03:30):
make diners, drive ins, and dives is what we're gonna make,
all right. So to lead off here, tom Brady, I
didn't think he was terrible. I saw the story. Some
of you sent me emails, Oh man, you gotta kill Brady.
He was awful. He sucked. I didn't think that I
was expecting what I got. It wasn't amazing. It wasn't amazing.
(03:51):
It was kind of eh. And he'sh You know, who
cared you don't get excited about eh. It's like you
go to the ice shop. You're there and you want
some Neapolitan ice cream and then they give you a bowl,
a waffle bowl of vanilla mean ice cream. You're like, well,
I want the strawberry and I'd like the chocolate. No,
(04:13):
you only get the vanilla. You don't get the strawberry,
you don't get the chocolate. I want that. I want
the Neapolitan. You didn't give me that. You gave me
just the vanilla. And considering all of the different variables,
the fact that Tom Brady took a year off from
the NFL and was living the life of leisure and
then chose to do this and was very braggadocious to
(04:35):
people around Tom Brady and his posse, that he did
all these demo broadcasts and he kept every note from
his days with the Patriots, you certainly had the right
to expect more. He was fine. There was nothing memorable
about this. There wasn't on the Malor report card. I
give Tom Brady a C. I give him a CEA.
(04:56):
It was a C broadcast. Yeah, I had a bad grade.
It's up for you to decide a C grade is
a passing grade. Sees get degrees. But you pay three
hundred and seventy five million dollars for satisfactory, you already
had satisfactory. You want the boogie woogie. You didn't get
the boogie woogie. You didn't. Yeah, yeah, he could have
(05:17):
just kept Greg Olsen and saved a whole lot of money.
And I know he's still there, but he's on the
top team. You want a plus. A plus is the standard.
That was not it. It's a kin to the Brady
broadcast was like going to the rich Carlton and listening
to the elevator music and you don't really notice it,
(05:38):
and that's Tom Brady. He was background noise. It's like,
all right, he's there. Not elite. Those elite skills that
he had playing for the Patriots on the Buccaneers on
the football field certainly did not translate to broadcasting. It's
almost like it's a different skill set doing this than
doing that. Go figure, but the jockocracy continues now. Perfect
example of how off Tom Brady was. Brady had a
(06:04):
batting practice fastball right down the middle to show that
he's not going to be your standard ex jock that
gets on television. He had a giant meatball right there,
and he could just eat the meatball. And what did
he do? Brady had a chance to chastise Deshaun Watson,
(06:25):
who blows right. Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns had
one first down in the first half. This was set
up perfect. It was a t ball for Tom Brady
to say, Okay, I'm gonna kill this guy. Nobody likes
Sshan Watson anyway, who likes Sashaan Watson. Nobody likes the guy.
You could have buried Deshaun Watson and nobody would have complained,
(06:46):
and he deserved it right. You could have gone out
there and chastise them and stigmatize him. Watson was a
dog with fleas, and what did Tom Brady do seemed
that critical to me. He was a ramsha performance by
Deshaun Watson, and instead Brady chose not to land based
the Browns quarterback, showing that he's not cut out to
(07:08):
be an elite broadcaster. Yeah he's not. You gotta get
me more, you gotta eat me more. You know, unless
you think the fans are just mores, maybe they are.
Maybe the fans are just a bunch of Neanderthals. And
they don't know what they're doing either, and they're just
fanboys and they'll lick your toes. Maybe that's it. But
for those that aren't like that, that was right there.
There was an opportunity, mister big bat Tom Brady, come
(07:31):
out and buried Deshaun Watson. He didn't do it. You
know who buried him. The Dallas Cowboys buried. Now, speaking
of that, as we expand on that furthermore here, how
did you you see Deshaun Watson's performance? Is Tom Brady
chose not to be too critical of Watson? I thought
Watson was in mid season four. He hit the ground running.
(07:53):
He didn't miss a beat from years past, consistency of
performance for Watson, the same guy always been in Cleveland.
I mean he said just days ago that he's still
considered himself an elite quarterback. My favorite Watson story was
from one of his trainers who was like the typical
(08:14):
trainer stories. Oh yeah, the NFL's on notice. Deshaun Watson, man,
he's back. Oh this guy's ready to go. And he
goes out there and it's lucky he plays for the
Browns because he really should be the brand ambassador for dynamite.
I mean, he's like he needs that dog food. He's
(08:34):
always in deep doo doo, always in deep doo doo.
He is Yeah, Mike Zimmer calling plays there, laughing on
the sidelines as Micah Parsons haunts Deshaun Watson. It's just brutal.
One first down in the first half, one numero Uno Watson,
absolute rubbish from pillar to post, two hundred and thirty
(08:57):
million dollars, fully guaranteed for a liability and at this
point in time, at this point in time, Cleveland should
just cut their losses and maybe they should have him
work as a host of a yoga studio. We know
he's very good at the Happy Baby yoga pos much
better at that than the Shotgun Formation.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
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 united as we hang
in Bennie's backyard, coast stuck coast, border to border and
(10:29):
beyond on the vast and stylishly powerful microphones of fsre

should be The Steven Manhattan I got a message from
from Terry and Ingland. He's like, oh, Steve's not gonna
call it. No, Steve, you don't understand the mindset of
the jet fan, the Jet fan would rather the team
be a pit of misery than good, so I would
(11:16):
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 an end. The brock Purty
and the reigning runner ups in the NFL, the forty
(11:36):
nine Ers hosting Airit Rogers and the j e t
s Suck sucks, suck. Now you had 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 l screwed. But don't worry. We watched
it so you would not have to and you didn't
(11:59):
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 and touchdown. And he was the backup because
Christian McCaffery couldn't play. The forty nine Ers, sullying the
(12:23):
Aaron Rodgers comeback story, the highly publicized comebackup Aaron Rogers,
a thirty two to nineteen thumping, easily covering the points
spread without 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,
(12:47):
and the ugly from this performance for Robert Sallas Jets.
So I've got Medello, Lowe's 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,
(13:09):
which is what the Jets did. They packed up their bag,
They got the heck out of there right after the
game 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.
(13:31):
More on that coming up here in a bit. 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 bragged very
(13:52):
braggadocious about the defense. For the Jets. Gang 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
(14:16):
the New York offensive line. The on both sides, both
sides the island game. Everyone's watching the island game, living
the island life. To give me an idea 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
(14:39):
field goal or a touchdown. The big uglies, 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.
(15:03):
Watching the approach to Jets have. This is a referendum
on the motivational speaker. The Tony Robbins of the NFL.
Robert Sala, who pedigree is that of a defensive guru,
defensive coordinator for the forty nine ers, and the Jets
happen to be playing, and so this is a measuring stick, Gyme,
this is a measuring stick. We know the Jets aren't
(15:23):
as good as the forty nine ers, 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.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Jeez.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
There's a line that I love. The late Mike Leech
had it, and I apply this to 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
use that standard for Robert South and the Jets. The
(16:01):
Green team lacking that modello. They should have passed out
medello before the game. They did not have the fighting spirit.
I didn't realize they traveled by stagecoach 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. He even had I love
(16:23):
this sauce Gardener. Now, if you believe the Jets take
them at face value, all these 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 out of breath,
(16:43):
he was out of shape. Say what, he's not fat,
he's a little saucy, he's sauce gardener. And he missed
a block in the second quarter. He had to catch
his breath. It's game one. These guys don't even play
the exhibition games during training. What are we doing? Wowser's
(17:04):
all right now page two. Let's get now to the
Komodo Dragon, the Komodo drag. There's a fly buzzing around here.
By the way, it just landed on my face here.
That's a wild anyway. So let's get to a page two.
How did Aaron Rodgers look for the Jets? So this
(17:26):
is a cover your eyes situation. The Benny bright Side
in me says, well, he looked choppy. He looked Choppy's
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
(17:47):
Jets quarterback. That wasn't what people remember. Rogers was becoming
bad as last year in Green Bay. 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, a
(18:10):
lot of issues there, a lot of turbulence for the
flight here. The oxidation can't be fixed, right? 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
(18:33):
Home Depot, whatever your favid hardware store is, and you
buy an industrial sized container of WD forty. 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.
(18:55):
You are absolutely cooked. The Jets will not fly out
Rogers did have the body language 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
(19:18):
now pivot to the winning locker room, not the better story,
but the winning locker room. And 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
(19:40):
levels of education. You've got the forty nine ers who
are a master student, and then 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. I
did not. If you saw Benny Versus the Penny on
(20:04):
television this past weekend, I was 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
(20:25):
TV show, but you got Christian McCaffrey 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
(20:45):
everything you needed in the recipe for this game to
be competitive. And yet even early on I was still
I was somewhat optimistic.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Girl.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Now Brandon IOC missed a opportunity to score a touchdown.
He dropped a touchdown. Huh. 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
(21:17):
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 Jet stink, Well we'll never know. But Jordan
Mason thirty three uneventful games undrafted out of the rambling
(21:41):
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
(22:09):
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 that's the ticket.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
The Brady Bunch returns to television, and many people seem
annoyed by that. Well, come in the beginning of another
night of the Ben Mahler Show. In another hour. We
are in the air everywhere, face to face as we
(00:53):
are the mixing and melting spoon coast, doug coast, border
to border and beyond. On the vast and spiffy powerful
microphones of fs are ammating live from the diarrhea, the
verbal diarrhea. We've got a case. We can't stop talking
all night long. We just got to keep that VU
(01:14):
meter moving. We're broadcasting live from the tier ract dot
com studios. Tyract dot Com will help you get there
in unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection
and over ten thousand recommended installers, almost as many fun
facts as alf the Alien opiner has sent in that
I have yet to use. Bad job by me ti
(01:35):
iraq dot com the way tire buying show be. So.
I attend random NFL games here where we are based.
And I did not go to an NFL game on Sunday,
partially because it was too hot or partially because somebody
screwed up my credential, but either way, I was not there.
I was not there, and our lead this hour from
the broadcast, I was able to soak in the much
(01:59):
ballly who beginning of the almost four hundred dollars four
hundred million dollar man, big difference between four hundred dollars
and four hundred million dollars. The Fox box that rocks
there if you were watching on Sunday the Cowboys and
the Browns, Tom Brady there, he was all dalled up,
(02:22):
looking good. Tom Brady made his broadcast debut on Sunday
on Fox. He called the week one snoozefest between the
Brownies and the Cowboys. The Cowboys put up a fight,
the Browns did not. Game was a no contest here.
Cleveland stinks and boys consistently stinks. So Tom Brady in
(02:46):
the broadcast booth, and how did he look? Early reviews
say he had some jitters there at the beginning of
the game. His voice was a little shaky, he paused
quite often. Some said he was absolutely awful. All this said,
he grew steadier as the game went on. So all
over the map, all over the map on the reviews
of Tom Brady. But who cares what they think? It's
(03:09):
all about what we think, right, It's all about you
and I. So the question what did you make of
Tom Brady's debut on Fox? Cowboys and rywns. So I've
got the rich Carlton Brand, ambassador and Fomo, and we
will combine all of these things together, and we're gonna
(03:30):
make diners, drive ins, and dives is what we're gonna make,
all right. So to lead off here, tom Brady, I
didn't think he was terrible. I saw the story. Some
of you sent me emails, Oh man, you gotta kill Brady.
He was awful. He sucked. I didn't think that I
was expecting what I got. It wasn't amazing. It wasn't amazing.
(03:51):
It was kind of eh. And he'sh You know, who
cared you don't get excited about eh. It's like you
go to the ice shop. You're there and you want
some Neapolitan ice cream and then they give you a bowl,
a waffle bowl of vanilla mean ice cream. You're like, well,
I want the strawberry and I'd like the chocolate. No,
(04:13):
you only get the vanilla. You don't get the strawberry,
you don't get the chocolate. I want that. I want
the Neapolitan. You didn't give me that. You gave me
just the vanilla. And considering all of the different variables,
the fact that Tom Brady took a year off from
the NFL and was living the life of leisure and
then chose to do this and was very braggadocious to
(04:35):
people around Tom Brady and his posse, that he did
all these demo broadcasts and he kept every note from
his days with the Patriots, you certainly had the right
to expect more. He was fine. There was nothing memorable
about this. There wasn't on the Malor report card. I
give Tom Brady a C. I give him a CEA.
(04:56):
It was a C broadcast. Yeah, I had a bad grade.
It's up for you to decide a C grade is
a passing grade. Sees get degrees. But you pay three
hundred and seventy five million dollars for satisfactory, you already
had satisfactory. You want the boogie woogie. You didn't get
the boogie woogie. You didn't. Yeah, yeah, he could have
(05:17):
just kept Greg Olsen and saved a whole lot of money.
And I know he's still there, but he's on the
top team. You want a plus. A plus is the standard.
That was not it. It's a kin to the Brady
broadcast was like going to the rich Carlton and listening
to the elevator music and you don't really notice it,
(05:38):
and that's Tom Brady. He was background noise. It's like,
all right, he's there. Not elite. Those elite skills that
he had playing for the Patriots on the Buccaneers on
the football field certainly did not translate to broadcasting. It's
almost like it's a different skill set doing this than
doing that. Go figure, but the jockocracy continues now. Perfect
example of how off Tom Brady was. Brady had a
(06:04):
batting practice fastball right down the middle to show that
he's not going to be your standard ex jock that
gets on television. He had a giant meatball right there,
and he could just eat the meatball. And what did
he do? Brady had a chance to chastise Deshaun Watson,
(06:25):
who blows right. Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns had
one first down in the first half. This was set
up perfect. It was a t ball for Tom Brady
to say, Okay, I'm gonna kill this guy. Nobody likes
Sshan Watson anyway, who likes Sashaan Watson. Nobody likes the guy.
You could have buried Deshaun Watson and nobody would have complained,
(06:46):
and he deserved it right. You could have gone out
there and chastise them and stigmatize him. Watson was a
dog with fleas, and what did Tom Brady do seemed
that critical to me. He was a ramsha performance by
Deshaun Watson, and instead Brady chose not to land based
the Browns quarterback, showing that he's not cut out to
(07:08):
be an elite broadcaster. Yeah he's not. You gotta get
me more, you gotta eat me more. You know, unless
you think the fans are just mores, maybe they are.
Maybe the fans are just a bunch of Neanderthals. And
they don't know what they're doing either, and they're just
fanboys and they'll lick your toes. Maybe that's it. But
for those that aren't like that, that was right there.
There was an opportunity, mister big bat Tom Brady, come
(07:31):
out and buried Deshaun Watson. He didn't do it. You
know who buried him. The Dallas Cowboys buried. Now, speaking
of that, as we expand on that furthermore here, how
did you you see Deshaun Watson's performance? Is Tom Brady
chose not to be too critical of Watson? I thought
Watson was in mid season four. He hit the ground running.
(07:53):
He didn't miss a beat from years past, consistency of
performance for Watson, the same guy always been in Cleveland.
I mean he said just days ago that he's still
considered himself an elite quarterback. My favorite Watson story was
from one of his trainers who was like the typical
(08:14):
trainer stories. Oh yeah, the NFL's on notice. Deshaun Watson, man,
he's back. Oh this guy's ready to go. And he
goes out there and it's lucky he plays for the
Browns because he really should be the brand ambassador for dynamite.
I mean, he's like he needs that dog food. He's
(08:34):
always in deep doo doo, always in deep doo doo.
He is Yeah, Mike Zimmer calling plays there, laughing on
the sidelines as Micah Parsons haunts Deshaun Watson. It's just brutal.
One first down in the first half, one numero Uno Watson,
absolute rubbish from pillar to post, two hundred and thirty
(08:57):
million dollars, fully guaranteed for a liability and at this
point in time, at this point in time, Cleveland should
just cut their losses and maybe they should have him
work as a host of a yoga studio. We know
he's very good at the Happy Baby yoga pos much
better at that than the Shotgun Formation.

the be gaining of another night of the Benmahlers Show.

from Terry and Ingland. He's like, oh, Steve's not gonna
call it. No, Steve, you don't understand the mindset of
the jet fan, the Jet fan would rather the team
be a pit of misery than good, so I would
(11:16):
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 an end. The brock Purty
and the reigning runner ups in the NFL, the forty
(11:36):
nine Ers hosting Airit Rogers and the j e t
s Suck sucks, suck. Now you had 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 l screwed. But don't worry. We watched
it so you would not have to and you didn't
(11:59):
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 and touchdown. And he was the backup because
Christian McCaffery couldn't play. The forty nine Ers, sullying the
(12:23):
Aaron Rodgers comeback story, the highly publicized comebackup Aaron Rogers,
a thirty two to nineteen thumping, easily covering the points
spread without 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,
(12:47):
and the ugly from this performance for Robert Sallas Jets.
So I've got Medello, Lowe's 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,
(13:09):
which is what the Jets did. They packed up their bag,
They got the heck out of there right after the
game 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.
(13:31):
More on that coming up here in a bit. 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 bragged very
(13:52):
braggadocious about the defense. For the Jets. Gang 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
(14:16):
the New York offensive line. The on both sides, both
sides the island game. Everyone's watching the island game, living
the island life. To give me an idea 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
(14:39):
field goal or a touchdown. The big uglies, 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.
(15:03):
Watching the approach to Jets have. This is a referendum
on the motivational speaker. The Tony Robbins of the NFL.
Robert Sala, who pedigree is that of a defensive guru,
defensive coordinator for the forty nine ers, and the Jets
happen to be playing, and so this is a measuring stick, Gyme,
this is a measuring stick. We know the Jets aren't
(15:23):
as good as the forty nine ers, 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.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Jeez.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
There's a line that I love. The late Mike Leech
had it, and I apply this to 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
use that standard for Robert South and the Jets. The
(16:01):
Green team lacking that modello. They should have passed out
medello before the game. They did not have the fighting spirit.
I didn't realize they traveled by stagecoach 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. He even had I love
(16:23):
this sauce Gardener. Now, if you believe the Jets take
them at face value, all these 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 out of breath,
(16:43):
he was out of shape. Say what, he's not fat,
he's a little saucy, he's sauce gardener. And he missed
a block in the second quarter. He had to catch
his breath. It's game one. These guys don't even play
the exhibition games during training. What are we doing? Wowser's
(17:04):
all right now page two. Let's get now to the
Komodo Dragon, the Komodo drag. There's a fly buzzing around here.
By the way, it just landed on my face here.
That's a wild anyway. So let's get to a page two.
How did Aaron Rodgers look for the Jets? So this
(17:26):
is a cover your eyes situation. The Benny bright Side
in me says, well, he looked choppy. He looked Choppy's
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
(17:47):
Jets quarterback. That wasn't what people remember. Rogers was becoming
bad as last year in Green Bay. 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, a
(18:10):
lot of issues there, a lot of turbulence for the
flight here. The oxidation can't be fixed, right? 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
(18:33):
Home Depot, whatever your favid hardware store is, and you
buy an industrial sized container of WD forty. 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.
(18:55):
You are absolutely cooked. The Jets will not fly out
Rogers did have the body language 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
(19:18):
now pivot to the winning locker room, not the better story,
but the winning locker room. And 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
(19:40):
levels of education. You've got the forty nine ers who
are a master student, and then 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. I
did not. If you saw Benny Versus the Penny on
(20:04):
television this past weekend, I was 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
(20:25):
TV show, but you got Christian McCaffrey 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
(20:45):
everything you needed in the recipe for this game to
be competitive. And yet even early on I was still
I was somewhat optimistic.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Girl.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Now Brandon IOC missed a opportunity to score a touchdown.
He dropped a touchdown. Huh. 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
(21:17):
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 Jet stink, Well we'll never know. But Jordan
Mason thirty three uneventful games undrafted out of the rambling
(21:41):
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
(22:09):
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 that's the ticket.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
