00:00You familiar with Boomer Esiason? Yes, I am
00:04He is on our sister station played against Boomer. Oh
00:08Yeah, the last time
00:11The Bengals went to the Super Bowl down here. Hmm. He was the quarterback
00:16well, he is uh, he is the host of
00:20the morning show on WF a.m. And
00:24Boomer size to that some thoughts on where Aaron Rodgers
00:28Has brought the Jets and it's not good in boomers eyes here
00:32He was I hate to say it and it's like Aaron Rodgers has completely sucked the air out of the building
00:37And I think so many guys are deferring to who he is in
00:41Their minds and in their minds and in my mind he is a first ballot
00:45Hall of Fame player one of the great quarterbacks when he was in his prime that we have ever seen
00:50But you know since he has come here over the last two years every player on this team
00:55I feel like has deferred everything to him. And the reason I say that is because
01:00Russell Wilson said something about Mike Williams yesterday and it was being reported during the game that when Mike Williams showed up to Pittsburgh
01:08He showed up with such a big smile and he was so happy like he was so
01:13Unencumbered by playing for the Jets and with the Jets and with Aaron Rodgers
01:18Wow, there you go
01:21Boomer saying that I that Aaron although he threw him right under the bus. I mean look
01:29Sometimes you get thrown under the bus because you put yourself in that situation
01:35right and
01:37Based on how Aaron Rodgers talks and some of the things he says when he came in
01:43He just made it sound like oh, yeah, I'm here. It's go time. That's right
01:48Okay, and last year you got hurt and this year right with the same players
01:57They're not any good and so
02:01the impact that he
02:04Was gonna make the impact that they paid him to make he's not making
02:10and a coach got fired and
02:14They tried to put it on everything else
02:18when
02:19It's okay. It's okay
02:22like to
02:24understand that
02:26Maybe we shouldn't assign
02:2740 year old Aaron Rodgers
02:30Okay, because you can't take the anomaly and say our guy is gonna be that
02:36It happens with talented guys sometimes too. Well, like I think you think that they're gonna be these
02:41But
02:44Here's what happened
02:46If the Jets want to blame somebody
02:49Don't blame Aaron Rodgers sign this blame Tom Brady
02:54Because Tom Brady
02:56Tom Brady had all these people thinking that our guy could do that, too
03:02Mm-hmm. You see
03:04Yo, 40 is the new bit of a time. They're out of corn Achilles. No, but I'm just saying
03:10I mean even with that they even New England
03:15Didn't think he was gonna be what he was in
03:19Tampa because he was 40 some years old and
03:24I understand that yeah, but but age aside like I think he's also talking about like the personality thing of him, too
03:33Year-round like we all we all now can clearly see that he's washed
03:36But it's also one of these things where there's got to be athletes sometimes that don't realize that that's hit them
03:41or
03:42It is and that's just a little that's got to be a mental drain on everybody all the stuff
03:49That I have talked about
03:51Nothing. None of it
03:53was about
03:55Him and what his impact would be in the locker room. Okay, that's what boomer was hitting that
04:01Yep, and he has sucked the life out of that locker room. How does that make you feel Vlad?
04:09How do you suck the life out of that locker room I just think the team sucks that's it basically that's what it is
04:16I
04:17Still think the quarterback the team. I just think he's not
04:21The same quarterback that can put everything on his back on the on his shoulders to lead a team
04:29Listen listen
04:31Calm your calm down. Calm down bold head
04:35The talent that the Jets thought that they had
04:40Was not
04:42What was expected to show out as you as you can see?
04:45So because of that he had to do more and when he has to do more that he's not the same guy
04:51He was not expected to do that
04:53Which is supposed to just most more so game-managed just get the ball to the receivers in their talent and let them do what they
05:00Can't do that, but they can't do that. Why is that?
05:04Offensive line is not good the team. It was just not good. They're talented, but they're just not good
05:09And I'm not blaming it on him. It didn't matter if they fired the coach because of Robert Sala was there
05:15It's the same BS would still be happening really was a pointless firing
05:19It didn't matter if it was fire him or not just it the same results would have happened, but they did do to think
05:25I think if we just take take the Aaron Rodgers being old aside
05:30like they did PR things for him to make it cover up like that was gonna fix it like firing the coach and
05:37like going to get Devontae Adams and
05:41Those were things that we're gonna have like
05:45Understood that he wanted to be there
05:46But you but this was acted like he has him like do the little cameo
05:50Sneaky sneaks on on Pat McAfee like it was gonna be the fix a
05:55Everybody loves narratives. Come on, man. I mean, what are you talking about? I mean, you know, the narrative is to it comes back
06:00He's gonna save the Dolphins and you know, you've never seen a game against Arizona get so much coverage like that
06:07That's that's the story Arizona's funny
06:13That's the coverage that's the story
06:16And the Jets put themselves out there and if they were succeeded, it would be great
06:20But they also left themselves to be criticized if it didn't go. Well
06:28If you average-looking
06:31You better have a great personality
06:34And I'm saying that Aaron Rodgers came in there like he was going to be the Savior
06:41With how he acted with the demands with how he was talking
06:45okay, and then he started playing and
06:52Everybody realized
06:53You ain't that guy you was that guy?
06:57But you ain't that guy
06:59Not no more. And so what has happened is is that everybody in New York?
07:08Did what they had to do to appease Aaron Rodgers and
07:12In hopes that he was gonna be anything close
07:17to
07:18what could help this team win and the fact that a matter is is
07:22he kind of
07:24snake oil salesman you
07:27Because well, that's what an ayahuasca user would do
07:33Because
07:39All right, but Leroy here's the thing
07:43Nobody was saying we want nobody was asking for
07:462011 2012 Aaron Rodgers
07:49right
07:51You know what? Even that year that last year that he had and go at Green Bay
07:56Where he wasn't that great. It's still 26 touchdowns 12 interceptions
08:02Our fan no, but they didn't make the playoffs
08:05They didn't make the playoffs that year
08:07Alliance, that's when the Lions resurgence started to come they beat them knocked him out of the playoffs
08:12but in your mind if you're that as judge fans and
08:17You're looking at I would all this talent and we've been seven and ten with some of the worst quarterback plays
08:23You've ever seen even a 26 touchdown 12 interception
08:282022 Aaron Rodgers would be better than the horrible display of quarterback that we've seen
08:34Yeah, that's it. You you're leaving all the other variables out of what other variables is that?
08:42That you're
08:47The darkness isn't that Austria?
08:49Ayahuasca, that's the ayahuasca noise. I know the darkness
08:53But Vlad, here's the other thing. I'll Tobin hundred
08:58But you're you're you're making the assumption
09:01that your offense and
09:03Your offensive weapons and your offensive line. It was compared to compare comparable to what?
09:12Right. Okay, but that's not no it wasn't your offensive line gave up more sacks to anybody
09:19But in fairness to like again like not to harp on the off-field stuff
09:24Like he also did this song and dance in his last couple days to or not even just a VP thing
09:29I'm talking about like he would do this whole thing. Was I gonna retire randomly? I'm gonna go host Jeopardy
09:35Then he's like I'll show for the last season
09:37He was mad because they drafted Jordan love even though he wasn't as much of a jerk to Jordan love as Brett Favre was to
09:42Him like it was a whole thing with him there too
09:45And so the thing that that baggage which yeah, New York media is going to echo that stuff a lot more than Green Bay does
09:53Was gonna put you it was gonna put you in a worse position because that stuff is gonna be
09:57Blasted a lot more if you're not the same guy. Here's the thing. I hate
10:02All the things that I said about Aaron Rodgers right before he got here before he got to New York
10:09Um had nothing to do what I think about his career it has to do it
10:16me thinking of what his career gonna look like when he's 40 and
10:20And that was my whole point, but it ended up being I hate Aaron Rodgers
10:26for other people
10:28to just think
10:30that Aaron Rodgers gonna be your savior and
10:33Then after Achilles still think that at 40
10:38Like yeah, I just think that was ridiculous
10:41You we could deal with all the other stuff if he's performing we dealt with crazy Aaron Rodgers for years because he was balling
10:48now
10:50He's doing that stuff and he ain't playing well, and the team's not playing well and to be honest
10:56We should nobody want to deal with it and the old get crazier
