(00:51):
They did, they did. They did so spectacularly. Yes, they
did not look good, flat out terrible.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
In certain face. This is the game, certain phases.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
And the Niners one going away. I think they scored
on what six straight possessions? I think it was eight
bar eight eight? Ah's even better? I liked I like
eight better either way.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
I mean, you did hold him to field goals. I did.
I did, I did, look I did, and.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
And so Moody, you know, gets to Ty Boswell the
league lead after week one.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah, Boswell figured I got it. No, no, somebody else.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
But he did it with more style because he had
what four from fifty I know, and one dinked off
the up run. I was talking about Boswell. But yeah,
Moody had his share of big kicks as well. There's
some there's some big takeaways from this game. And yes, okay,
Jet fan, what are you gonna tell us?

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Number one, what you saw tonight in this game, the
forty nine ers coming in and surprising me a lot
with how well they ran the football, the rushing lanes
that were open for Jordan Mason the entire night.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
To give it some specificity, the.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Way that Brock Purdy did not have to put the
ball in any tight windows, did not throw to anybody
who was being covered by Sauce Gardner. So there is
why would you, Well, no need to, I can just
throw to other guys. Well, I mean, where's he at
on the field, Identify.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Where he is. I'm not throwing there.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Well, in a couple of times they didn't line him
up on on Ayuk and very early in the audio
and certainly on television was wait what well on that
first drive of the game where they threw the pass
to Ayuk and it looked like it was gonna be
a fifteen yard first down and Gardner just puts his
fist in there and knocks it out. And that was

(02:38):
the last pass they threw at Sauce guard and they said, okay,
you know what not happening. So that was a look
that's how good he is, right, And he did have
to leave the field a short time because did get
answered and that he said he got the wind knocked
out of him and he was finding it to look
Sauce Gardner's just unbelievably good. I can't even tell you. Uh.
But the Niners win in a dominant fashion. And the

(03:00):
first thing I'm gonna say is this, this is the
difference between the two organizations. Because the forty nine ers,
as much of their it's like self inflicted drama that
they have over the last couple of years, whether did
we draft the right quarterback? Are we keeping the right quarterback?
Are we playing the right quarterback? They find a way

(03:20):
around it.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Now.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
This offseason for them, they dealt with a lot of
stuff right after the draft. Brandon Ayuk wanted out right
the messages on social media. We'll see if they want me.
Ayuke wanted out. They had to deal with his situation
all during the preseason. We have trades for you lined
up if you want No, that didn't work out, another
trade lined up if you wanted know, hey, now we're

(03:43):
gonna give you a contract.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
You're in.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
And it was funny because he eventually came back goes, yeah,
I did.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
I didn't need to do that. Now I'm good.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Trade me to the Browns man, I don't want to
catch pass Vadorian Thompson Robbinson in a few weeks forget it.
So you had that drama that hung over the team
all the way through. Trent Williams notching up till I
get paid. But but you're thirty six. But I'm the
best offensive tackle in the game, and you could say
I'm with the MVP of the league last year. But
you're thirty six and you have three years left on

(04:10):
your deal. I'll send it home till you give you
more money. Right, that was the thing week before the season.
It gets solved. Trent Williams comes in. Other than getting
an IV played off the snaps too and pushed you around.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Christian McCaffrey best running back in the game. Right before
the game.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
We find and I say allegedly right before the game
because there's a discrepancy about that, which we'll get to
in a few minutes. But right before the game, hey,
guess what the best running back in the game is
not playing? Jordan Mason is going in an untested second
year guy, and what happens The Niners blow the Jets out. Yep,
this is an organization the top to bottom knows how

(04:50):
to deal with adversity. And when the lights came on,
they were ready to play. In Week one, okay, one
hundred percent. Oh impressive effort. Four hundred and one total
yards of offense time. I'm a possession nearly thirty nine
minutes towards San Francisco. And you just watched with Mason
and a bit with Deebo Samuel. The running lanes were immense,

(05:11):
Like it wasn't an and you know, get.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
To the edges.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
It was work the interior and then push out. But
I mean, just impressive. Yeah, And I don't think this
was their plan to say we're gonna run the ball
as much as we did. But when they saw the
early success, they said, we're gonna keep doing this until
you show us you can stop us. And the Jets
couldn't stop them, so kind of like the overtime drive
for the Lions against the first couple of possessions, they
tried to get pretty out there on the Jets were
able to keep it down, but once they were hey,

(05:36):
wait we can run the ball, we don't. We don't
need to go crazy throwing the football here. We're just
gonna blow holes in this Jets defensive line. Guess what.
That's what they did. They were ready for the game.
Now you have the Jets who did so much talking
in the offseason. The defense is so good, the deed
we're talking about being a top three, want to be legendary.
We're this great, We're we're great, right, a lot of talking,

(05:58):
Aaron Rodgers, I'm thinking Super Bowl. The Jets do so
much talking because the Jets want to win every off season.
It's the games out of the worst thing for the Jets.
If there were no games, the Jets would be they'd
have so many Lombardi Trophies a year I couldn't even
count them. But they want to win the off season
so bad. We want to win, we want respect, we

(06:20):
want people to think we're really good. So we're gonna
talk talk, talk the entire offseason. And then what happens
Week one. You're not ready, You're not ready. Your guys
didn't play together in the preseason, and when you were
trying to get a quarterback incorporating to the offense to
run things when he hasn't played in a year, and
you want to get everybody on the same page, look

(06:42):
at the failure. They were not ready to play Monday night.
This was a great defense that got pushed around, and
they looked like the Panthers like, that's embarrassing. They were
not ready to play. The Jets were New York Radio
Tom Panthers Panthers to cut and print that bush. I mean,
this was at least the Saints had to run around
to make the play. Everything was wide open for then.

(07:04):
I'm just like, it's not this easy with the Jets.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
Yes it is.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
It was that easy tonight for the Jets. You know,
I'll give you the bright spot. It's only week one. No, right, well,
there's a bright you get to do this sixteen times.
There is a bright spot, and we'll get to that.
But the whole thing is that this is a team
that does so much talking and then when the games come,
the games are the worst part. They we can't navigate
the games. And look at this horrible effort they put

(07:29):
out their Week one. This was everything is pushed forward.
This we're a super Bowl team. We're ready, We're ready
to be legendary. And instead it was you know what,
we got our asses kicked and now we got to
go back to the drawing board. That's what tonight was.
So this is they are never ready. They I always
tell you the same thing for the Jets, just like
I've talked about the WNBA this year. Let's see if

(07:50):
they can handle success with Caitlin Clark, and they couldn't.
And it's a real difficult thing for all the jealousy
and all the hate she gets. The Jets, going on
forty five years now, have never been able to handle
success when.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Everything is great.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Once they start believing how great they are, that's when
they fall. All the time there they have not no
matter who the head coach, doesn't matter who the quarterback is.
For forty five years, they can't handle success, and they
believe they did so much talking, and now it's oh man,
if we don't win the next couple of weeks, this
is danger. Like they should still be three and one

(08:22):
coming off the first four games, and maybe four in
one going to the game after that, but they should
be three and one out of here, and if they're not,
it's gonna fall apart because they've done so much talking
and not enough preparation, and I could tell they weren't
ready for anything. The forty nine ers were thrown at
them tonight. And it's not like the Niners went crazy
with some kind of gimmicky playbook. And we know they

(08:43):
rolled out brock Purdy and the Jets weren't expecting he
was throwing across his body. This was we're giving the
ball to our backup running back and it's right up
the middle or off tackle or and you can't stop it.
We're gonna throw the football in the middle of the field,
and guess what, our third and fourth receivers are going
to have separation on your defensive backs. And I don't
know the Brock perty had to make one difficult throw.

(09:04):
The entire game could have been more if the Niners
were just a little bit better in the red zone
or Brandon Ayuk doesn't drop a couple of passes. Well,
you know, it was easy for the forty nine ers.
The forty nine Ers all the offseason drama, they were
ready for Week one. The Jets, all the talking, and
they clearly were not ready for week one of the season.
That's a differ between the two organizations, the way they're run,

(09:25):
the way they get ready for a season. That's what
it is. The Jets were not ready for this game,
which is stunning with all the talking, yap yap, yap, yap, yapp,
and they did well. What's funny is with the Jets,
it's basically a two year build up to this moment,
right because we only got.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
The five snaps, four snaps, four and a half snaps.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Whatever we're talking about a year ago before that season
went asunder and Rogers was done. So now it's the
build up of year two. So, I mean, you've been
talking and building this up to the great moment of
being the great savior for New York Jets football for
nearly two full years, and now you we have this

(10:00):
opportunity against the forty nine ers in a big primetime
spot week one, all eyes, non direct, TV. You know,
are on this game and excitement, and you come out
and you get punched in the mouth repeatedly. Mason with
his twenty eight carries, and that's supposed to be the
strength of your squad.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Right.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
We still had some questions even with a rebuilt offensive line,
because it's an older offensive line, how good they would be.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
But Breeze Hall coughs it up early. Right.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Fred Warner the biggest star out of the Bears forty
nine ers trade going back to twenty seventeen.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Great play, punching the ball out, huge play for him.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Right, he goes and he gets it done, and opportunity
and the scoring onslought begins, and I guess you take
some solace and that you force field goals. I'm trying
to find you some silver linings. But we had talked
about it a month ago that the first four games
were going to determine, you know, where your season could
go off the rails fast. And then we watched Week

(11:01):
one and you look at what Tennessee is. You look
at what Denver was right, not efficient in any way,
shape or form, still in the game, but not necessarily
clean in any way against Seattle, And then you've got
New England, who went and roughed up Cincinnati team that

(11:23):
on our sheet here at the Fox Sports Radio studios
and for many pundits, a team that folks think can
get back to the Super Bowl if things are right. Well,
t Higgins is on the franchise tag. How happy is he?
That doesn't seem like he is. Jamar Chase played?

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Was he in shape?

Speaker 1 (11:42):
How interested is he until he sees, you know, more
money find his bank account?

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Right? Hey, have you made that transfer yet?

Speaker 4 (11:49):
No?

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Where's Jerry Jones when he needs him? But it's a
question mark there. But New England came out, you know,
the defense was gonna be good, and then Stevenson ran
all over what was supposed to be a pretty decent
Cincinnati front. Well, now you can transfer that. So you
come three and one, Okay.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
You're feeling all right.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
You go Sam Darnold in Minnesota, I think is week five.
But if you're two and two, or you drop a
couple of those games and now you're one and three
through the first quarter, yeah, it starts to get pretty
hot there for Sala and for everybody involved, and for
Aaron Rodgers. Hills have to start deflecting all the negativity,
especially if the offense looks like it did here. I mean,

(12:32):
six of your points came out of free play when
everybody stopped playing except for him and Lazarre decided to
play catch. Look, I told you a couple of weeks on.
My biggest fear is that it got sideways early. Yeah,
this was a game. It wasn't a freebie game. But look,
the Niners were supposed to win this game, right, But
now it's gonna be okay the press. If you can't
do it against the Titans and the Broncos and the Panthers,

(12:55):
you have a very favorable early season schedulehere. You should
get out of September in October. Hey, we're feeling great.
We're the big bad Jets. We're three and one, four
and one. If that doesn't happen, it gets sideways in
a hurry. Well, what the bigger question with this game
was that they didn't look ready for the fight? No, right,
this was they walked out and they went to dap
hands and got punched in the face.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Right.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
I mean, they didn't have any of the tenacity and
punch that you would have expected, not just because of
all the tough talk, but just what the identity and
the perception of what this team was gonna be right,
that they were gonna be a strong defense and hold
their own well. They got pushed around all game long,

(13:36):
that offensive line for San Francisco. And again, you're matching
up against the super Bowl favorite, you know, so take
it with a grain of salt. But doesn't that mean
you normally bring your best to that fight, knowing then
that San Francisco, with all of their noise, that if
you were gonna get them, you take your shot now,
and instead you got run over on both ends. Exit

(13:59):
op out of front, Exit swollen Dome, The Jason Smith
Show with my best friend Mike Carmon. Just one organization
knows how to do it and one that's still trying
to figure things out. By saying, let's win the offseason
and then be ready to go.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
We are great in the offseason.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Hey, at least you're wearing a Syracuse shirt today. Saftory
Monday and I mean Victory Monday. And man, you get
a Heisman. We got the best quarterback in the show.
Exit ol out of Fresco, Exit swalling Dome. Jason and Mike.

dot Com Studios. We're gonna have the latest on the
Tyreekill situation coming up in a few minutes. But boy
a controversy that doesn't seem to be going away, and
just show you how how in bed with gambling the
NFL really is. So tonight, the Niners beat the Jets

(15:47):
thirty two to nineteen. Okay, we've talked about it. We
talked about the Jets.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
But you want to do it, just let it out. No,
I've done it. No, because I feel okay. I'll tell
you why in a few minutes. Well, I feel okay, okay, But.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Jordan Mason gets the surprise start at running back for
the forty nine ers. Christian McCaffrey is out surprise inactive
before the game, and he runs all over the Jets.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Now, granted, anybody could have run through those holes. I
could have, and I have no good. My first step
is terrible.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
I like, I mean, it's it's like me trying to
pick a lane at the at the at the checkout
of costco oh at like one, I could go lane two,
I could go lane five, Like wherever you.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
Want to go. We have blown holes open for you.
Jordan Mason, you can run.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
But Friday, Christian McCaffrey was okay, and Kyle Shannan said, yeah,
he's fine. He was he was going to play and
then right before the game he was an active Okay,
I get it. But after his big performance on the field,
Jordan Mason was asked, hey, dude, when did you know

(16:49):
you were going to start for the Niners? And Jordan
Mason gave an answer that wasn't well about a half
hour before game time.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
Why did you find out? Maybe Friday Friday night?

Speaker 1 (17:04):
You know I've got whoa?

Speaker 3 (17:06):
So wait, Friday night, Friday night, Friday night, WHOA.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
That's not making anybody putting out over unders for Jordan
Mason's total yardage.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Happy Friday night, you knew whoa? This is not making.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Anybody saying, Hey, you gotta be above board compliant with
the NFL with who's gonna be healthy and who's not.
We put this information out there for a reason and
you have to be compliant with it. So wait a minute,
Jordan Mason new on Friday.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Well.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Kyle Shanahan was asked the same question after the game, Hey,
Jordan says he knew on Friday he was starting. Kyle Shanahan,
head coach of the Niners, gave a bit of a
different answer.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Jordan said after the game he was told on Friday
night he was gonna start.

Speaker 5 (17:46):
When did Christian start feeling cry?

Speaker 4 (17:49):
I never told Jordan he was gonna start. Told me
he had to be ready a bunch, But I might
have been Bobby or somebody trying to pump him up.
But I knew he was gonna have to play a lot,
and told him that he was gonna have to wasn't
gonna be like usual, He's gonna be a number two
back that was splitting a lot of the time. But
now he didn't know he for sure was doing that
tull the day.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Okay, so I never told him that, But j Jordan
Mason is pretty pretty pretty convinced.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
I was told Friday night something like that.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Friday night, I was trying to get what was in
the middle of that. I'm not a blank trying to
pump him up? What was it that Bobby might have
told him? The running backs coach might have told him
to pump him up.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Hey, you're going to be starting. I thought he was.
You thought he was likebby Bobby, Bobby, I knew you
to mid pro pain, Bobby. You could be starting on
Monday against the Jets.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
But either way, Jordan Mason was convinced.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
All right, So wait, a minute. So now Jordan Mason says,
I knew Friday. Kyle Shanahan says, no, you didn't.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
All right, let's ask Jordan Mason again in the postgame
press conference. Game of his life. Let's ask Kim again. Hey,
you said you knew Friday. Coach said he didn't tell you.
We're going to ask you again, when did.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
You find out that you'd be in the starting lineup?

Speaker 1 (19:06):
That question right there is as while I'm at uh,
that's why I don't like really talking to media because
you say one thing wrong and Dan, you know.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
I don't know, just skip that question.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Well, first of all, not the media's fault, don't, dude,
can't You can't play the blame the evil media, though
I can't blame that. Look, something obviously was said that shouldn't.
Now the NFL is going to investigate because they have.
This is a big deal. This is a big deal
for gamblers because now gamblers saying, hey, you're either our
partner or you're not. Well something I showed you before, right,

(19:42):
and we talked about it a little bit last week.
Of the largest the size of the business that is gambling,
thirty five billion is the estimate legally being bat so
you figure it out. Whatever the shadow money is plus
off shore, et cetera. But the odds for Mason his
over under for rushing yards was thirteen and a half.

(20:07):
So people, and this is online, so I've seen this
couple of ways. I'm not gonna tell you who the
casino is the offshore book in specificity, but there's a
something going around that it was minus one ten, okay,
so implies pretty good odds that he is going to
hit that number.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
So people bet that number, and.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Then they started getting notes saying, well, we're not hottering
that the true odds were minus five thousand. Now the
difference is if you were to a bet one hundred dollars,
you would have won. I think it was like ninety
six bucks or something. So here's your payout. Instead, you
should only earn two dollars under one hundred dollars bet

(20:47):
based on the minus five thousand. So yeah, it is
a very big deal. Now in terms of his over
underd bets, I don't know that anybody would have had
massive exposure unless they didn't update it immediately after the
Christian McCaffrey news, which may be where some of this
dispute comes in. But either way, the injury reports in
theory were there for transparency and ostensibly gambling and all

(21:13):
of that stuff. But let's call about it fair play whatever.
So if you're told Friday and the coach is saying, nope,
Christian's gonna be ready to go. Yeah, the fact that
he said I was told Friday, Kyle Shanahan says no, no, no, no, no,
And then for some reason here's Jordan Mason saying, oh, no, no,
I'm not gonna So you know he was got to

(21:34):
you know, someone said something, would have just said he
would have just said the same. Yeah, they told me
on Friday. No, no, no, dude, you can't say that
we didn't tell. This is a big thing. So the
forty nine ers and they should, they should get investigated,
they should look into because it's yes, it's it's the
gambling party, but it's also this is why the injury
report is out there. There's a lot of It's bigger

(21:55):
than just Kyle Shanahan. It's bigger than you just deciding
I want a competitive advantage, right, It's bigger than just
you saying that, right. So this is something and maybe
in the end they'll give the Jets an extra fifteen
points in the game, and you get the way, take
away every you know they'll do. They'll extrapolate it because
I like that. I like that they'll extrapolate and they
take away everything Jordan Mason did in the game and

(22:15):
then recalibrate the final score and it's Jets twenty six
forty nine Ers fourteen, and the Jets win the game.
Look at you, Yeah see, I know you find that
alternate Jet point to make yourself feel better.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
Yeah, but again, with the size of the gambling.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Market, cheating forty nine ers and cheating forty nine ers,
cheating forty nine ers, cheaters and whatever line that the
league is used to talk about, you know, the transparency
and balance and fairness and all of that nonsense, it's
always been for the gamblers. And in this particular case, yeah,
I'm sure many a call was placed pretty much immediately,

(22:52):
and Kyle Shanahan as soon as he got that question,
the antenna went up and behind the scenes they mobilize quickly.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
I don't know what the the.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Time lapse is from the off coming off the field
interview when he first gave that answer for Jordan Mason,
to the time he hit the podium, but you could
see the countenance of a young man who had the
game of his life, who just got his ass chewed.

Speaker 3 (23:16):

Speaker 1 (24:03):
App right around time the game started tonight the Monday
Night game. The bodycam footage of Tyreek Kill's arrest was
made public. Very surprised it got made. I thought for
sure we'd get a we can't find it, or we
didn't have it, or wasn't on it.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
But we got it.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
And if you saw the arrest yesterday, it was shocking
video and I don't think we saw anything differently than
we thought it was going to be. With his video out,
Tyreek Kill was pulled over for speeding on his way
to the game. Wouldn't roll his window down. The police
officer comes over, bangs on the window, roll your window down,
and things escalate from there. He's pulled out of his car,

(24:39):
he's cuffed, he is on the sidewalk, he is going
he is talking with the officers back and forth. An
officer goes and kicks him. Ostensibly they told him to
sit down and get down on the ground.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
He didn't do what.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
He kept saying, I had surgery on my knee, I
can't do it, and and officer comes over and kicks
him to the ground. The thing about this is that,
first of all, this was so avoidable, and that's the
most disheartening part about this is that this entire thing
was avoidable because there's the two sides to this number one.

(25:14):
Tyreek Kill, according to police, did not respond to their commands.
And I see that roll the window down. He doesn't
roll the window down, get out of the car, get
down on the ground. He doesn't do any of those things.
And when the police officer tells you to do something,
you kind of have to do it right. You may
not like it. I've been talked to by police officers

(25:36):
like that. I got pulled over one. I wasn't even
driving us in the backseat of my car, my friend
was driving really fast. Cop pulled him over and he
is screaming through the window at us, and I'm going,
oh my god, Oh my god. But this police officer
pulled you over. You did something wrong. When a police
officer tells you do something, do it right. And tyreek
Kill was a little bit combative with them, right, So
there is that side of it. But overall, understand that

(26:00):
police officers are always in a life or death situation
every time they deal with something, whether it's pulling somebody over,
whether the domestic situation, when they go into a vacated
area looking for someone, it is a life or death situation,
and so they are already keyed up on it. Because
they have to be hyper aware of all their surroundings.

(26:22):
And I understand that, and that's what makes it look.
That's what a lot of police officers I know have
told me. Look that every situation is life or death,
and you people have to understand that. But there also
needs to be a bit of hey, let's deescalate when
we can. And nothing came of the police officers screaming

(26:43):
at tyreek Kill and banging on his windshield. Okay, no
job in the country that I've ever seen deals with
people who verbally command and demand your respect like police
officers do, to the point where I can say anything
I want to you and you're just gonna tell me yes,

(27:06):
officer right like that's been away for a long time.
We've seen him, seen traffic stops ere and I see that.
And when a situation is not contained, I understand that
kind of attitude. We don't know what this is all about,
but to be able to understand the situation, all they
did was heighten that situation, heighten what was going on

(27:26):
by the yelling and the pounding on the door. Because
when people are yelling, that doesn't that that's not cool
under pressure. Now, to be fair, what's he gonna say, Hey,
come on, get out of the car?

Speaker 4 (27:37):
Right? No?

Speaker 1 (27:37):
No, no, I mean I get that, But when Hill
didn't help things when he rolled the window back up,
because you have no idea what's going on in that car.
Once he is out of that car, okay, you're still
the police officers. You still caught him doing something he
wasn't supposed to. You can arrest him, you can cite him.
What good comes of continuing to brate and yell at him? Okay,

(27:59):
because at that point, when the situation is contained, why
do you have to keep screaming at him?

Speaker 3 (28:04):
Right?

Speaker 1 (28:04):
And the whole thing the worst part is then the
worst one is the officer who just decides to kick
him to the ground when he wouldn't get to the ground.
That's a point whereas an officer, you can say, get
on the ground, sir, I can't add knee surgery.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
You have five seconds to find your way to the ground,
or we're gonna add a charge of non compliance against you.
You have five seconds to get down right that because
the situation is under control at that point, there's nobody
else in the back, there's no weapon, You're under control.
And instead it was screaming at you to get down,
and here's a police officer who comes over and kicks you.

(28:36):
That was unnecessary. It was heightened.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
And to also.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Understand the perspective you're police officers. You know at this
point you have Tyreek Hill. You know that you caught
the guy's speeding, okay, but you know that people are
walking by with cameras. His teammates have stopped by, Klais
Campbell stopped by, Hey, what's going on here?

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Smith?

Speaker 1 (28:56):
You had a bunch of teammates that had made their
way to it. Kind of get the what the overall
optica is gonna be here, and understand that, oh, this
is not gonna be good for us, because what did
you see yesterday when this happened. All you saw were
two big pieces of video him being dragged out of
the car and the cuff's going on him, and then
the video of the one car going by and the
cop leaving the bike and going over and kicking in

(29:19):
whatever it is to get him to the ground. Like,
how bad do you look? Already you're playing defense, whether
you're the plan, and now suddenly this has gotten heightened
so much because of those two pieces of video. You
have to understand people are seeing this. We're in the
age of cameras and people seeing this and people on
the street. You're yelling, Tyreek, the aggressed Tyree. You gotta
be able to evolve with that situation. Okay, where are

(29:41):
we at now? This is Tyreek kill. We got him
for this and this and this and this. Let's do
this the right way. Let's do it the right way.
By the buck, you should be doing it the right
way all the time. But this, especially where this was unnecessary.
And that's why keep coming back to this could have
really been avoided. It could have really been avoided whatever.
Since you comply with the police when they say roll
your window down, do this, had this, X, Y, and

(30:01):
Z and the police. Once you have the situation under control,
there's no reason to continue to needle it and to
make it worse and to amp up what was going on.
Because when people are yelling and screaming about stuff around you,
are you cool or are you or are you keyed
up too? I knew how this thing ended, and I
was still keyed up, like, oh my god, what's gonna happen,
What's gonna happen? Well, but that's the other part of
it right is is we've talked about with a lot

(30:23):
of stories, no matter what the final outcome was and
whatever the video was, to the build up for lack
of a better term, to the end game of the
kicking and things that we saw very early yesterday before
the game's kicked off, nothing was going to justify that,

(30:46):
or I didn't believe there was going to be anything
to justify it. And in the minds of most I
don't know how many you're gonna actually watch the full
origin story right where the police police officers driving up,
because again footage we didn't think we'd see. But how
many go all the way through because the first part
pre leaving the car, Okay, you can understand where it

(31:08):
escalated from the officer side, regardless of the type of
car being driven or who's behind the wheel, that doesn't matter.
But as soon as he's out of the car, well,
situation should start to normalize. Now, he doesn't help things
by continuing to yell at the officers, but that's also
where you turn the deaf hear or try to and

(31:29):
figure out how to process this quickly. Either way, an
ugly incident. Once again, Dolphins release their statement, but the
point being in a lot of these stories, the retraction
or corrections or adjustments or whatever. Most people never hear
those or see those. It's usually the first response and
the first images are what stay with people. And that's

(31:52):
the other part to be cognizant of. On either end
of these type of incidents. Exit at about a Fresca
X had swollen down The Jason Smith Show with Mike
Carmon Live from the Tireck dot Com Studios. Is the
fact that this was avoidable. That's the biggest shame in this. Uh, well,
the cars. The story is developing. We'll continue to have
more on this, but straight ahead, I'm gonna ziggor you

(32:13):
think I'm gonna zag about the Jets finding Niners game tonight?

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Fox.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific Fox.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon, Live Fromthetirack dot Com Studios. Let me tell you,
are iSIG When you think I'm gonna zag about the
Jets tonight, I'm just gonna call you zig hey, zig Hey.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
Ziggy was tonight good for the Jets. No, it was terrible.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
They were beaten top to bottom. Yeah, eight straight drives
and Niners scored on was terrible. But I'm fine, And
I'm not saying I'm fine. Oh you're just living then out. No,
I'm fine for three reasons.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
Three reasons.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Yes, Like during the game, I was really bad. You
can remember gourd game was really bad.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
But you weren't as bad as you could have been
because you got your ass kick. Well, yeah, I knew from.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Very early on, right, I mean, hey, we're hanging on
in the balance and then one play or one sequence
and sends you really no, you got pummeled after seven
to six. That was That was kind of what I knew.
It wasn't gonna happen for us. But here's why I'm
okay with it. Week one at San Francisco on Monday Night.
Who's supposed to win that game? San Francisco. They're the

(33:35):
best roster in the NFL. They're coming off a season
where they played in the Super Bowl. They're supposed to
win this game. As good a roster as the Jets
supposedly have. They're supposed to win that.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Number two, the Jets defense, I know is better than this,
and they weren't ready to play, and could this be
a real big wake up call for what's a lighter
schedule coming up? One hundred percent because they're not this bad.
I've not seen a team do that to the Jets
defense in three years. Like that's how dominant the whatever

(34:06):
the forty nine ers wanted to do, they did. So
this tells me the Jets just were not ready coming
into this game. And if you're not ready, because you know,
Robert sala is not a great coach, if you're not ready,
that at least is something you can fix. The players
in the room can fix that.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
Going on. We were not ready. This was embarrassing for us.
All the talk we did.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
We thought we'd come in to be easier, and it
happens there's a lot of teams that week one they
get that, hey, we have to adjust a little bit.
We had big expectations, did a little bit too much talking.
We're not good. We got to get back and we
got to refocus and regroup. So I firmly believe that's
a thing for the Jets they can do.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
No I dig that.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
I like the positivity the mister Perry Perry positive but
the fact that you weren't ready for prime time in
Week one in a matchup that's been built up for
how many months? Yeah, Brid's like we were talking a
little bit about Brady's inaugural performance for Fox. A lot
of build up, Yeah, a lot of ads, a lot
of expectation. Aaron Rodgers, he turned to the field. Yes,

(35:01):
been a long time, you know, since Week one.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
Of last year. Oh yeah, but look, but that's.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
To that point that to rally up and actually be
ready to CounterPunch. That was the thing that was disappointing
for me. And again, you're you're facing a Super Bowl competitor.
There's gonna be softer. Yeah, you know, Tomato cans on
the schedule.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
Look, the offense wasn't great.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
But that's the third part, is that as much as
you wanted to expect Aaron Rodgers to hit the ground
running the mental hurdle getting over a season where you
didn't play, You didn't get into a game in the preseason,
so you couldn't. He gets through the entire game, and
by and large, he looked close enough to the old
Aaron Rodgers. He was escapable enough, he was able to

(35:40):
push the ball downfield. He made some good throws. You
could see the big smile on his face at the
end walking off the field. It was a hurdle that
he had to get over sure, And I didn't see
anything tonight to make me think, okay, this is not
We're gonna get a really bad Aaron Rodgers, like the
arm strength is gone, he can't get the ball he
needs to h this was Things are gonna get better.
So the fact that when I when I put all
three of those things in it, it's a game they

(36:02):
weren't supposed to win. It's a game that that can
you can use it as as a learning pier because
this is not the Jets getting beat this way. But
most importantly, Rogers seems okay, seems close enough ish to
Aaron Rodgers, I'm okay with that. You can make things
work from here on out. Now, ask me again, if
the Titans and the Panthers and the and the and

(36:23):
the Broncos and the Jets and the Patriots games don't
go well, I'll give you a different answer.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
I mean, next week you might get run over by
Tony Poulis. Stop and Remandre Stevenson's gonna have his way
with it. And then you get to Denver and Denver,
I mean, I don't know what they're gonna be yet.
What today for Bonnicks Eight touchdowns here just in the
first half a lone well, you know, a li of
Sports Bureau because we get we track everything anymore. They said,
it's the first time in forty five years, you know,
since the statistic began. Yeah, that the Jets were scored

(36:50):
on in each straight That can't be right. We've had
some really bad teams. I can't believe there's not possessions
where he short every time they had the ball. I mean,
that's futility to the heighest degree. I think that's wrong.
That's worst games in that Coming up next, my buddy
Ben Mallard. This is Fox Mets Yo.
