00:00All right, Jets Niners tonight in California on the Monday night football game.
00:09The return of Aaron Rodgers.
00:13There's a lot of other guys that are going to try to make a name for themselves tonight,
00:17including Mike Williams with the Jets.
00:19We haven't seen him since he was with the Chargers.
00:22Yeah, in fact, William Scott got hurt week three last year at the Vikings.
00:27He was headed for a big game, suffering an ACL injury.
00:31Now talking to the Jets, their plan is for the early portion of the season, this is a
00:34medical decision, they're going to limit his snaps.
00:37They're not going to play him 100% or 90% or 80%.
00:41They're going to mix him in.
00:43Alan Lazard, who is making $10 million this season, fully guaranteed, he didn't do anything
00:47last year.
00:48He struggled mightily.
00:49He had a very good training camp.
00:51He'll see some time in place of Williams.
00:54They'll rotate some guys in there.
00:57The big thing here for the Jets, as you mentioned, it's obviously the biggest story in the National
01:00Football League, really, this week, is getting Aaron Rodgers back after he got hurt on that
01:04first series last year in week one.
01:08Talking to the Jets, Scott, they feel like their offensive line, they finally have got
01:11it right.
01:12They've got three new starters, two new tackles, mostly a veteran group.
01:15They actually have some depth.
01:17This is the best offensive line they've put together for years.
01:20If you remember, I remember you and I talking about this when Rodgers got hurt.
01:23Look at that line they had last year, comparatively to this season.
01:27It's way better now.
01:28They're more equipped to handle it.
01:29Even if someone has an injury, they have decent backups, so they feel good about that.
01:34Brees Hall, remember, he tore his ACL two years ago.
01:37He looked great coming back.
01:38Now, they limited his snaps early on last season.
01:42Mike Williams is on the same plan.
01:43Brees Hall, primed to have a big season coming back.
01:46Now, almost two years recovered from that injury.
01:49Great defense, but they're not going to have Hassan Reddick, who continues his holdout.
01:54It is really interesting, Scott.
01:56What I was told a couple of months ago was this.
01:59Reddick told them, once the contract negotiations broke down, and the Jets still went through
02:04the trade, they could have backed out.
02:07That Reddick told them, hey, I'll be at camp, I'm going to play this season, I'll ball out,
02:12and I'll get my deal on free agency.
02:14Well, obviously, that hasn't happened.
02:15He has not shown up.
02:17He's in excess of going to be over five million at this point.
02:21He's only making 14 and a half, I see, only.
02:25It's a situation that's gotten ugly.
02:27You put him on a defense, eventually, if he ever shows up, takes him to the next level.
02:32Right now, you're going to see Will McDonald and Michael Clemens fill in for Reddick.
02:36Will McDonald, a second-year defensive end, a first-round pick out of Iowa State last
02:40year.
02:41He's a speed rusher.
02:42Clemens is more of a power rusher.
02:44You know what's interesting?
02:45Both teams will get to the Niners in a minute.
02:46Both teams play the same front.
02:48They play that wide nine where the DNs, the edge rushers, are out wide.
02:52They get upfield to get to the quarterback.
02:54It's going to be a fun matchup.
02:55This one is very even.
02:56And by the way, the Niners are a four-point favorite, and the number's 43.
