Speaker 1: Sid and Friends in the morning entertaining and informative.
Speaker 2: On the Red Apple Podcast Networks.
Speaker 1: Is Craig Carton right, Well, the starting quarterbacks played this weekend.
Speaker 1: This guy Hall of Famer w a n legend and
Speaker 1: now Sid Rosenberg contributor by former Midday partner on the Fan,
Speaker 1: the Great Joe Beningo. Joe Good Tuesday morning, Buddy. How
Speaker 1: are you?
Speaker 2: What's up? Sidney at the hey doing baby?
Speaker 1: I am doing great. Lot is up Friday Night? Jets
Speaker 1: and Giants, the under the preseason, Here comes regular season football,
Speaker 1: Jets and Titans, one o'clock on the thirteenth. That night,
Speaker 1: Sunday Night, eight twenty Giants and Dallas. What Craig seems
Speaker 1: to think your teammate there at the Fan that neither
Speaker 1: starting quarterback will play this weekend? That makes no sense
Speaker 1: to me. The you know, they used to bench these
Speaker 1: guys the last preseason game, but that's when they played
Speaker 1: four not three. What do you think I.
Speaker 2: Think neither of them play. To be very honest with you,
Speaker 2: you know what, let's be honesty. Okay, preseason football, which
Speaker 2: I likened to no outcoholic beer, I've said pretty much
Speaker 2: it's pretty much the same thing. Look, there's been you
Speaker 2: mentioned it, Chad Pennington, Jason Seehorn. You know I still
Speaker 2: got scars from when Joe Namath got hurt in the
Speaker 2: first preseason game in nineteen seventy one against the Lions.
Speaker 2: That's right, So I I you know what, So you know,
Speaker 2: I I why why play him? Look anymore, with the
Speaker 2: way the preseason is now in the NFL, you know
Speaker 2: the limited contact they have in practice and all this. Now,
Speaker 2: you know, you're really the first couple of games of
Speaker 2: the now eternal seventeen game regular season, so to be eighteen.
Speaker 2: I really like preseason games. I mean, you know, I
Speaker 2: hate to say it that way because the games count,
Speaker 2: but it probably takes a few games before you know,
Speaker 2: you really start to hit your stride. So I don't
Speaker 2: think you're gonna see anybody play I mean you really,
Speaker 2: I mean that's generally what it is.
Speaker 1: No when you played four games. But I mean, at
Speaker 1: least he's quarters played a couple of games, so they
Speaker 1: don't start the first game of the year completely, even
Speaker 1: though it's a couple of weeks apart. But I think
Speaker 1: you're right. I think you know, when Jackson Dart got
Speaker 1: blasted by that Viking defensive back. And I know he
Speaker 1: finished the drive by throwing a touchy.
Speaker 2: Tracy missed the block, and then he had a big
Speaker 2: fumble last week in the Dolphin game. For what that means.
Speaker 1: But no, that means a lot. You know, when the
Speaker 1: other the other kid that got from the Bills, hears
Speaker 1: Ago Singletary is playing much better football.
Speaker 2: Than and he also signed naj Harris.
Speaker 1: Right, the former Pittsburgh Steeler in Alabama running back. But nevertheless,
Speaker 1: he throws a touchdown the end of that possession, that drive.
Speaker 1: But that one scared the hell out of me and
Speaker 1: the Giants.
Speaker 2: I'm sure, well it didn't scare Dart because he wasn't
Speaker 2: too thrilled about going into the blaze.
Speaker 1: I know he complained.
Speaker 2: And let's be honest, ok I gotta be honest about this, Okay,
Speaker 2: all right, I'm all for safety, player safety and all. Really,
Speaker 2: you know what, in a lot of ways, that blue
Speaker 2: tent is just you know, I'll call it virtue signaling
Speaker 2: SID because if they were so worried about injuries, then
Speaker 2: why are they playing seventeen games? Why they soon to
Speaker 2: be playing eighteen games? Why did they have the San
Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine ers in the RAMS two with to
Speaker 2: Markey teams in the league a right to certain suiting
Speaker 2: Super Bowl contenders. Why into freaking Australia for an NFL
Speaker 2: game on Thursday night? Why?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't like any of those. I
Speaker 1: don't like the Mexico games and London games. Oh you're right,
Speaker 1: they got their own and I got start.
Speaker 2: I know he's not on my team. We should have
Speaker 2: drafted him. I can't tell you how much I love him.
Speaker 1: If you love Jackson Dart that much, and you got
Speaker 1: the great coach in John Hawball and the deep ense
Speaker 1: should be really good. You got a bunch of first rounders.
Speaker 1: I can't stand up Dual Carter, but he's a first
Speaker 1: rounder obvious, right. You got Reest there who looks good
Speaker 1: in the preseason. You must have very high expectations for
Speaker 1: the Giants.
Speaker 2: I love the Giants. I would. I don't know what
Speaker 2: the over under is for them. I'm not sure what
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 1: It's I think it's eight and a half, but I'm
Speaker 1: not shift.
Speaker 2: I would clearly bet the over, and really they got it.
Speaker 2: I think they got a realistic shot to win the division.
Speaker 2: That's what I think.
Speaker 1: So you think the Giants are going well ten and seven.
Speaker 2: Are I think to win ten and so I can
Speaker 2: see him wining ten games. I think that's not so
Speaker 2: you think you think you think the health is a factor, right,
Speaker 2: Neighbors has to stay healthy, the offensive line has to
Speaker 2: play well. Obviously Dark has to stay healthy. That goes
Speaker 2: without saying. But you know, you got the two things
Speaker 2: that are to me that are the most essential things
Speaker 2: you need to win in the NFL, and that's a
Speaker 2: coach and a quarterback.
Speaker 1: You do have that. But you know, the Eagles have
Speaker 1: a quarterback that's won a Super Bowl and a coach
Speaker 1: just won a Super Bowl. They've gone to too No,
Speaker 1: I know way J. Browns with New England right now,
Speaker 1: and they've gone backwards the last couple of years, especially hurts.
Speaker 1: But are you ready to catapult the Giants ahead of
Speaker 1: a team? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think one of the reasons, Look, let's be honest
Speaker 2: about it. When the Eagles won a Super Bowl a
Speaker 2: couple of years ago, one of the big reasons is
Speaker 2: they had an all world year out of Saquon Barkley. Okay,
Speaker 2: he had an unbelievable season. He had an MVP type
Speaker 2: season that year. Random football. That's one of the reasons
Speaker 2: Hurts played as well as he did. I mean, I
Speaker 2: think the Eagles are still good. I do. I think
Speaker 2: Dallas is going to be much improved if they had defense,
Speaker 2: you know, you know, get it's better because their defense
Speaker 2: has been a disaster. We know Dallas can score points.
Speaker 2: We know offensive leader are very good. I don't know
Speaker 2: where Washington is. We'll see what happens. Daniels is coming back,
Speaker 2: but I give I give the Giants a shot, Bro,
Speaker 2: I do, I really do.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about your Jets. What have you seen this
Speaker 1: preseason to make you feel good or not so good
Speaker 1: about this upcoming season?
Speaker 2: Well? I think, look, they're going to be better by accident,
Speaker 2: you know, but I look, I love the moves that
Speaker 2: First of all, the best thing the Jets have going
Speaker 2: for them is the general manager, Darren Mougie, who I
Speaker 2: think really knows what the hell he's doing. I got
Speaker 2: to tell you that, Bro, I like the moves he's made.
Speaker 2: I love the draft. I think you know, one thing
Speaker 2: we know about Geno is you can throw a pass.
Speaker 2: I mean we know that. I mean, you know we
Speaker 2: had a quarterback last year that couldn't we know Gino
Speaker 2: can and remember one thing about Gino to it. But
Speaker 2: you know last year, bad year or raatest radist thunk
Speaker 2: and all it is. He played behind an offensive line.
Speaker 2: He got sacked fifty five times last year, Gino Smith
Speaker 2: fifty five times. The offensive line and the Jets this
Speaker 2: year should be a strength with the two first round
Speaker 2: bookend tackles, you know. Leading away, I think they're gonna
Speaker 2: be a much better football team than you think. And
Speaker 2: I think they're clearly flying under the radar. Nobody has
Speaker 2: any expectation level for them in at all. Do I
Speaker 2: think they're gonna make the playoffs? No, but I think
Speaker 2: they're least going to give us a season. You know,
Speaker 2: like my birthday is September twenty sixth, the season will
Speaker 2: not be over by my birthday.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize your birthday is a day before my
Speaker 1: beautiful wife, Danielle's birthday. She's nine twenty seven. Yeah, she's
Speaker 1: September twenty seventh, So you both virgo.
Speaker 2: Lit younger than me and obviously a lot better looking.
Speaker 1: So no, you look great. Cut that out look anyway
Speaker 1: you look at it. They're a third place team. They're
Speaker 1: not better than New England. Do a Buffalo. They're better
Speaker 1: than Miami, so the third place team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but which is fine? I mean I just want
Speaker 2: to see you know what I once said, like if
Speaker 2: we're in December and they showed the playoff breakdown, they
Speaker 2: always show that, you know who's in who's leading the division.
Speaker 2: You know, they got that column in the hunt. Could
Speaker 2: I be in the hunt in December?
Speaker 1: That's fair? Any other team, you know, Aaron Rodgers his
Speaker 1: final season in Pittsburgh. Kansas City gets Kenneth Walker who
Speaker 1: ran the ball so well for the Seahawks, who won
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl last year, you know, and the brother
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are going to be better anyway. Any other
Speaker 1: teams that you're looking at at the start of this
Speaker 1: season that the very least interest do you find uh interesting?
Speaker 2: Well? I think the Rams, I mean, or they brought
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett in. You know, they came close last year.
Speaker 2: They still got the big time quarterback in Stafford. You know,
Speaker 2: you got uh you know, uh pooh and the coop
Speaker 2: you know catching the football there. I you know, you
Speaker 2: always got to look at them. The one thing about
Speaker 2: them is that that division is brutal. You got you know,
Speaker 2: Seattle's in the division in San Francisco, So that's gonna
Speaker 2: be a tough division.
Speaker 1: Let me go to Seattle because I think the Rams
Speaker 1: are the best team in football. They've been the best
Speaker 1: team in football, I think for years. Haven't won the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl every year. But Seattle did win the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl last year with Sam Donald did do you think
Speaker 1: that was a flash in the pant for Sam or
Speaker 1: they'll be great again this year?
Speaker 2: Well, look, Sam add Let's be honest. I mean, he
Speaker 2: had a tremend this year. A couple of years ago
Speaker 2: in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: I know, but the two biggest games you needed to win,
Speaker 1: he was awful.
Speaker 2: But now he won a super Bowl, So the biggest
Speaker 2: games kind of win he's won. You know, look you
Speaker 2: look back to that season. I mean, I don't love this.
Speaker 2: Coach is Kevin O'Connell. And he thinks he knows what
Speaker 2: he's doing. You know, come on, now he's got Kyler
Speaker 2: Murray as his starting quarterback. He really got a lot
Speaker 2: of confidence in him. You know, he drafted JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 2: You let Donald go. That was a mistake. Let's be
Speaker 2: honest about it. You got to give Donald credit. I
Speaker 2: mean he's always had the ability. I don't think he
Speaker 2: was ever coach right with the Jets and ever he
Speaker 2: used right there, so good for him.
Speaker 1: I saw somebody on ESPN this week.
Speaker 2: And another in the long list of Jet and first
Speaker 2: round draft choices that won a Super Bowl somewhere.
Speaker 1: Out someplace else. Yeah, I know that. I know somebody
Speaker 1: in ESPN this weekend said that lookout where the Chargers
Speaker 1: this year.
Speaker 2: Chargers are a fake team. Give me a break. One
Speaker 2: of the most overrated teams every year, in one of
Speaker 2: the most overrated teams in football. They never win. Okay,
Speaker 2: we always talk about their quarterback, whether it's Fall Rivers
Speaker 2: or whether now it's the kid Herbert and White think
Speaker 2: it's extremely overrated. It's got a good looking wife, but
Speaker 2: extremely overrated, no doubt about that.
Speaker 1: But they got the coach.
Speaker 2: I don't buy the Charges for a second.
Speaker 1: You don't like Jim Harball coach.
Speaker 2: He's a great coach, but still win. I don't The
Speaker 2: Charges are a fake team to me, bro every year.
Speaker 1: Would you be interested next year at this time when
Speaker 1: Gino decides jeze Rabbit up because this guy did not
Speaker 1: get a new deal from Tampa Bay. Would you want
Speaker 1: to see Baker Mayfield in a Jets uniform.
Speaker 2: If you would have told me this when he first
Speaker 2: became a free agent a few years ago. If you
Speaker 2: all in, I want my own quarterbacks. Hid. I gotta
Speaker 2: be very honest with you. I don't you know, it
Speaker 2: doesn't work when we bring these guys in. It didn't
Speaker 2: work with Brett Faub, it didn't work with Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2: You know, it did work with Vinnie many years ago.
Speaker 2: But you know generally that doesn't work. We have to
Speaker 2: get our own guy. And I want to see this kid,
Speaker 2: Club Nick play. I gotta tell you right now, I
Speaker 2: want to see him at some point this year get
Speaker 2: a shot because next year my team is sitting there
Speaker 2: with three first rounds choices and I you know, with
Speaker 2: the chances are we're going to draft the quarterback. But
Speaker 2: what if we didn't have to? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So I want to see Club NC play. I know
Speaker 2: they were very high on him. Frank Reich was high
Speaker 2: on him. Moujie was high on him. Let's see what
Speaker 2: happened to play four years of Clemson started a lot
Speaker 2: of games. I do want to see what we got
Speaker 2: in him at some point this year. You know, I
Speaker 2: don't want Baker Mayfield,
