00:03 But of course, it is all around the circumstance
00:05 and the scenario of Aaron Rodgers.
00:07 The expectations all off season long.
00:10 The optimism finally for New York
00:12 and only four plays into his New York Jets tenure.
00:16 As the starting quarterback for gang green,
00:18 Aaron Rodgers is courted off the field
00:20 or walked off the field, courted into the locker room
00:23 with what appears, Nicky, by reports after the football game
00:27 to be a torn Achilles tendon,
00:28 sidelining Aaron Rodgers for the remainder of 2023.
00:33 So Nicky, with all of those circumstances at play here,
00:36 what is your reaction to last night in MetLife
00:39 between the Bills and the Jets?
00:41 - I honestly was just, when I saw him go down,
00:45 I think my initial reaction was, this has to be bad
00:48 because you could kind of see in his eyes,
00:50 he knew something was wrong, which is why he sat down.
00:53 And being someone that's coached gymnastics
00:56 and cheerleading for a long time,
00:57 when I see an Achilles injury,
00:58 I said it immediately to my family.
01:00 I was like, I think that's an Achilles
01:01 'cause you kind of saw the back of his calf bulge out
01:05 and I've seen numerous Achilles injuries.
01:07 So I was like, I think that's Achilles.
01:08 And everyone was like, no, no, no, I think it's the ankle.
01:10 And then come to find out it's probably his Achilles.
01:12 So for that, it just sucks.
01:14 I feel really bad for him and I feel bad for the team,
01:16 especially with all the hype that's been around the Jets.
01:18 Like, you just can't believe this is happening.
01:21 But then for me, I was just honestly shocked
01:23 that the Jets didn't just wave the white flag.
01:27 They're such a good team.
01:29 They have amazing offensive weapons.
01:30 Their defense is no joke.
01:32 So if they did have Aaron Rodgers
01:34 for the rest of the season, it really is,
01:36 wow, this team could win the Super Bowl.
01:38 Now it's, okay, what do they do at quarterback?
01:39 Because clearly it didn't work with Zach Wilson.
01:42 Can it work with him this time?
01:45 But the takeaway for me is this team really is no joke.
01:48 And it's kind of like what could have been
01:50 if Aaron Rodgers didn't go down.
