00:00When you have success, it's usually fun, whether it's a player, a fan, and or an owner.

00:04Like, you want to walk into that room like, yeah, I'm an Eagles fan.

00:07You see these two rings we got the past 10 years?

00:09That's how you get down to business.

00:10But when you're a Jets fan, you can't walk into the room and say, hey, man, I'm a Jets fan.

00:16Like, that's the response you get.

00:17Or, hey, that's Woody Johnson over there, the owner of the Jets.

00:20Oh, my God.

00:21Sell the team, Woody!

00:23The reason I bring this up here, Joe, let me ask you a quick question.

00:26How many wins do the Jets have this year?

00:29None.

00:30Exactly.

00:31They got no wins here.

00:32So here's Woody Johnson in front of a microphone saying, like, hey, Woody, why don't you have

00:36zero wins?

00:37What's the reasoning behind it?

00:38He'll tell you right now.

00:39What's your confidence level in Aaron to turn it around?

00:43Well, it looks like he's turning around parts of it.

00:46You know, it's hard when you have a quarterback with, you know, with a rating that we've got,

00:53you know.

00:53I mean, he has the ability, but something just is not jiving.

00:57But if you look at any head coach or the quarterback like that, you're going to see similar results

01:02if you go across the league.

01:04You have to play consistently with, you know, at that position.

01:09And that's what we're going to try to do for the remainder of the season.

01:14So what gives you hope, then?

01:17I just think defense special teams are doing better.

01:20Defense is pretty good.

01:22And if we could just complete a pass, it would look good.

01:28You know, you've got to complete some pass.

01:29You've got to convince them that you can do something.

01:32Otherwise, it's hard to have, you know, have a game that you can win.

01:38Do you still believe in the decisions that you made for putting who...

01:41I do. I think Aaron, I do believe in Aaron.

01:44He's a, I've known Aaron for, you know, since 1996.

01:48I was a fan.

01:49I've always been a fan of him.

01:50I see the way he handles the room.

01:53If I were a player, he would, I would respond to him.

01:57Because he's the real deal.

01:59He had no BS.

02:00There's no second agendas.

02:02What you're doing is the truth.

02:04And a lot of times, players don't get the truth.

02:06They get a lot of gobbledygook.

02:09Now, if Woody Johnson is backing you and that's who you picked,

02:13it's probably going to be a failed resistance.

02:14There's one thing to be said, Joe.

02:15But hey, you know what, man?

02:16I was real poor as a kid.

02:17I grew up, pulled up my bootstraps here.

02:19I'm a billionaire now.

02:20I understand how this stuff works.

02:22But when, you know, three of your great, great grandfathers or whatever,

02:26Robert Wood Johnson, James Wood Johnson, Edward Mean Johnson,

02:29founded Johnson & Johnson, and you get that in your lap and all that money,

02:32go out and buy an organization, and you've been an absolutely horrendous owner.

02:37But as I say this time and time again, Joe, it does not matter.

02:40If you're an NFL owner, you can have an 0-17,

02:42be the laughingstock of the nation in your respective sport,

02:45and still you print money and your organization gains wealth year over year over year.

02:51It's a shame for Jets fans here.

02:52But at least I hear him speaking honestly.

02:54But at the same time, he's not talking as a fan.

02:56He owns the team.

02:58He's the one who makes the decisions, whether you like it or not.

03:00Who's my head coach?

03:01Who's my general manager?

03:02Hey, by the way, we're going to spend a lot of money on this quarterback.

03:04Awesome.

03:05Justin Fields is your guy.

03:06Sign him.

03:06Now to sit back like, yeah, he stinks.

03:08No, no.

03:08You stink as an owner.

03:10How about that, Joe?

03:10Well, I don't think there's any doubt about that.

03:14I think we all know that.

03:16But, I mean, listen, they're not firing Aaron Glenn.

03:19They're not going to fire him now.

03:20They're not going to fire him at the end of the season.

03:22I mean, you've got to give him and the general manager a chance

03:25to get the kinds of guys that they envision in building that locker room up, right?

03:31And we all kind of knew, like, we all said it, Donnie, Jet fan or not,

03:35when they, you know, they were like, well, Fields is our quarterback.

03:37We were like, all right, maybe, we'll see.

03:41But I think, obviously, here we are seven weeks without a win.

03:45We haven't scored a touchdown, by the way, I don't think,

03:47since that blowout loss to the Cowboys in week five.

03:51So, we just can't seem to find the end zone here, Donnie.

03:55And we won't, whether it's Tyrod or it's Justin Fields.

03:59And quite honestly, this is all about next year with the Jets.

04:03He knows it.

04:04The owner knows it, and everybody else knows it at this point as well.
