00:00San Francisco 49ers in the New York Jets. So many storylines,
00:06Terminary, entering the Monday night conclusion to the opening
00:10full week of this NFL season. Aaron Rodgers back after only
00:15four offensive snaps in his very first year with the New York
00:18Jets now at the age of 40, responding from the torn Achilles
00:23back in his home area of Northern California as well. How
00:27would he fare? Christian McCaffrey, the injury update
00:31that came down maybe half an hour before we got the kick last
00:35night on a Monday that run CMC was not going to play for San
00:39Francisco inactive, still dealing with a calf slash
00:43Achilles injury. So Jordan Mason third year running back for the
00:4749ers out of Georgia Tech would make his first career start all
00:52of that in the final game of week number one, where San
00:55Francisco was still booked as a home favorite, laying three and
00:58a half points, a total of 43 and a hook for the Monday night
01:03finale. That sky's over. But the 49ers still look like the team
01:07to beat in the NFC. And maybe the NFL 32 to 19 the victory for
01:13San Francisco over New York, the 49ers cover as a three and a
01:17half point home favorite again, that total of 43 and a half
01:22skies over 21 consecutive games Joe for San Francisco dating
01:27back to the start of last year, booked as the favorite side,
01:30they cover the number to start 2024.
01:34Yeah, and I mean, listen, it was an impressive fashion too,
01:37because I also believe the kid Mason, one of the few healthy
01:41running backs the 49ers actually have on the roster. I mean, that
01:46was one heck of a workload for a kid. In fact, I think it's the
01:50most carries a running back has gotten for the 49ers in a in a
01:55long time. So he delivered and Shanahan said, Hey, listen, if
01:59it ain't broke, don't fix it. That was vintage Shanahan and
02:0349ers. They didn't ask Brock Purdy to do anything out of the
02:07ordinary, just kind of be the game manager handed off protect
02:11the ball. But it was really two things of note for the Jets, the
02:16offensive line held up. So there are some positives here. The
02:20fact that yeah, Aaron Rodgers, you knew he was going to be
02:22rusty, Ben. So I do anticipate it will get better with him in
02:28the pocket because he did look like he was limbering around a
02:31little bit in there. But I do think that will come but the
02:34Jets better figure out what they're doing with Hassan
02:37Redick because without any pressure or the threat of
02:40pressure, that's going to be a long season for that Jets
02:43defense.
