[Music] all right guys what's going on welcome in
so obviously massive massive game right out of the gate New York Jets at San Francisco 49ers
Monday Night Football like it it doesn't get any more crazier than that in my opinion I I I feel
like whether you're a Jets fan whether you're a 49ers fan um or a fan of liter any other team in
football Lions Saints take your pick whoever like you're going to be dialed into this game right
there's so many different storylines uh two teams that you know have deep playoff uh aspiration deep
playoff push aspirations uh Super Bowl aspirations um so and in this one I'm joined by my buddy
Javin from the Gold Rush podcast what's going on bro what's going on not much not much you know
I'm just uh looking forward to this game man every day you know my skin is crawling and I'm getting
excited I'm getting more pump for it you know I got scheduled for work on it and I told him I
might have to call out guys I gave him a heads up I might have to call out to tune in to this
uh more than likely I'm not gonna lie to you yeah dude no I I totally hear you man uh I've I've been
in the same boat I bro I used I had a my first job I would call out like every single Sunday during
football season till they like caught on but in any case yo yeah actually before we dive into kind
of a you know the preview here what's good with all the Raiders stuff behind you are you you a
Niner andan so I am a Niner fan you know I I grew up um like you know I remember the the 49ers in
Raven Super Bowl that was probably like my first biggest moment as a as a Niner fan but my dad he
is a Raider fan uh through and through you know and so as a baby you know as a baby I have a lot
of baby pictures in Raiders gear very embarrassing looking back on it I don't know really I don't
know how I didn't fall under the Raiders trap with my dad with being such an influence but my mom and
her side of the family are big Niner fans and I always I was always around them so you know I just
I just fell into line and so that's why like this one right here it's It's A House Divided sign
and half of his Raiders half of it is ners cool man cool um yeah dude Oakland like I remember you
know just the black hole those games over there just such an epic kind of atmosphere you know like
the fans just flood the stadium I always remember those games you know when the Jets would go and
play the Raiders uh you know over on the west coast it would just be like insane uh but kind of
those uh like two I believe it was 2009 or could have been 2010 um always a tough place to play but
dude in in any case bro main question I I wanted to kind of get your opinion on right out of the
gate Super Bowl hangover um obviously the 49ers they've had a ton of success in the regular season
they've also had a ton of success in the playoffs as well but as far as just getting to the final
dance and then coming up short a couple times no disrespect but just calling it you know like uh
do you get the vibe whether it's from you know uh training camp reports watching all the interviews
uh reading articles and whatnot is there that post Super Bowl loss type of like lull that we see
like a lot of teams kind of stumble stumble out of the gate in that Following season are you kind
of picking up on that Vibe at all or no you know no doubt this off season you know Niners we've
had a pleth of off Seasons with with quarterback drama now we had auk drama we had Trent Williams
drama and so it does kind of feel like The Vibes are a little bit off and frankly I wouldn't be
surprised going into this game if it starts off kind of sloppy for the Niners side I I just saw
reports um Chris forer the Niners old line coach he said that Trent Williams might have to rotate
out with Jaylen Moore um because of conditioning Trent you know he sat at all offseason which is
pretty big for the Jets super hangover listen I don't know very many talented teams that start off
a season and and and don't make it back kind of to where you know a playoff push I feel like is the
floor for this Niners team uh you you expect to to make the playoffs and win a game or two um so yes
I'm I'm concerned a little bit uh thinking back in 2019 uh when we lost that Super Bowl against the
Kansas City Chiefs the season after that that's of course I believe you know that's after when we
went the 12th overall traded back up to uh pick up Tre Lance at number three that was due to just
bad luck uh ironically facing the Jets early in the season we lost you know Nick Bosa for the rest
of the year we lost uh we Lo we were banged up a lot that year so I think if the cards are in our
favor this season we should be able to dominate this Division and make it back into the playoffs
there is some concern to start off slow in my opinion with how sluggish you know again with auk
and Trent Williams but all in all I I'm not too concerned I'm I'm a little I'm I'm confident I I
feel like these guys are Juiced up especially the older folks like KD I think even Debo has that
chip on his shoulder they're tired of losing in the playoffs in the Super Bowl so I really feel
like you know this I mean the window's closing the window's closing I could admit that but I I
want to see them come out guns firing yeah dude I hear you I I think well I'll say this man even
though you might be a little concerned about Trent Williams and Brandon auk at least dude at least
they're there at least the the hold outs ended Hassan reic is still as as far as like you know
the actual uh recording of the show uh which is Friday night here it's uh he's he's still still
not there right still has not reported you know it's it's tough man because he he was one of
the big Acquisitions that the Jets made this off season uh as you know and you know we let
Bryce Huff walk and we let jfm or we sorry we traded jfm to the Denver Broncos for Min a minimal
return a 2026 sixth round pick which you know it's tough because jfm and Bryce Hoff were even though
jfm spent time with the LA Rams uh actually could have been St Louis Rams but in any case it kind of
felt like both of those guys were homegrown they made a name for them uh for themselves with the
Jets and to see both of those guys walk out the door and to replace them with reic and then for
him to potentially start skipping regular season games it's it's a tough pill to swallow but I know
it kind of seemed from afar you know correct me if I'm wrong it kind of feels like you have Trent
Williams on the left side but there's a couple of holes oh yeah on the offensive line it's not like
a fully stacked unit like Detroit or something like that what's kind of your take on the facing
the Jets without Hassan reck assuming he doesn't play um you know do you feel like you guys are
gonna you know be able to protect pery and be able to you know create holes for maccaffrey and
whatnot or are you thinking uh I don't know about this o line yeah so this is this is one of the
things that I said that I'm really looking forward to watch how this old line saacks up against
a really really good pass rush I mean PFF has the Jets dline ranked at number one even without
Hassan reik um you've got some young guys on the edges there Germaine Johnson and Will McDonald I
think that whoever lines up on Colton mckivitz on that right side which I think the Jets should put
Germaine Johnson out there they're gonna have a big game this could be a Germaine Johnson Breakout
game I mean and of course when you're talk about the Jesse I got talk about big quiny Williams
in that middle there I would like to see it's gonna be a big test for Dominic puny who I believe
was our third or fourth round rookie he's looked really dominant in the preseason um and so that's
going to be a big test for puny going up against a really good defensive tackle um I think that
the pressure up the middle is going to be really big for the Jets and it's it was always kind of
a concern for pie being a smaller quarterback pressure up the middle is not what you want for
your small guy and that's kind of what we saw that that was tough last season especially the Niners
uh o line was ranked for PFF you know number 24 it's bad it's bad I'm very I'm very concerned um
and yeah and ironically I was thinking um Hassan reick you know he was the guy that pretty much
ended the Niner season just two years ago broke PR's elbow um and now Leonard Floyd you know he
kind of ended the Jets season yeah unfortunately so I thought that that was pretty ironic there
looking at that yeah dude that that's actually pretty insane if you think about it um I dude
I I feel like Hargrave is in for a big season with you guys like a bounceback year because he
I mean you guys paid him a ton um you know if my memory series correctly and to be honest with you
like you're looking just across that you across the landscape of that ners defense it's it's it's
insane man Ward I know Lenor has had a fantastic training camp l yeah looking forward to Lenor and
gett Wilson battling unless if they choose to have Ward follow Wilson but I I really want to see
Lenor out there so do you know if uh under Nick senson you know your guys's new DC does he let
Ward follow the one or is it just strictly left and right Corners so it it depends a lot um I know
when we played Seattle uh charvarius Ward would follow DK meta specifically but I believe Ward
said that that was Shanahan's call so I think that Shanahan has a play in kind of what goes on um
and I said I want to see uh Lenor and Wilson but I think Lenor is gonna be more of a slot guy for
us this year um so I think if if Wilson is lining out out wide then I I would like to see Ward
follow him especially because the next starting corner back is gonna be reonardo green probably a
rookie and I think that Wilson is just gonna Feast on him I'm a big fan I think reonardo green has
some potential in him but his first game going up against a talented guy like Garrett Wilson with
Aaron Rogers throwing him the ball it's it might get ugly yeah dude no doubt so uh I I guess we
kind of shift over to the offense I think this is kind of the biggest see I'm like as a fan I'm more
of a defensive guy so I'm looking forward to like our jet like the Jets defense going up against
you guys or sorry your offense perie and whatnot yeah being able to really just set the edge attack
the edge make sure mcaffrey and these guys don't bend that corner and then it's just you know North
and South style of football I just you know it uh to be honest I do feel like we have the speed on
defense to handle that but just again as a fan I'm really excited to see how this defense looks but I
I think from like a national media perspective it definitely feels like it's it's the Jets offense
going up against the Niners defense you know uh the the whole well of course you know you got
Rogers coming back from injury but you know you get the the Rogers 49ers rivalry because of the
draft slip and stuff uh not taking them number one overall all all these you know small storylines
the the Garrett Wilson Ward kind of back and forth I didn't really think it was that big of a deal
but some people really kind of blew it up uh but a lot you know and of course you know the Jets have
Superstars offensively Tyron Smith and Breeze hall and then the Niners like we were talking about you
know they have superstars on defense with Bosa and Fred Warner and Ward um but uh like as as far as
like an offensive standpoint goes I really want to run the rock um you I play to play to your
strengths if I'm the New York Jets right feed the young running backs brillan Allen Isaiah Davis
get these guys involved of course along with Bree hall and then hopefully in the second half when
we're having success there and you're forcing San Francisco to come up and Tackle uh all first half
you know that's when you can really start hurting the Niners over the top or over the middle of the
field that that's kind of off of play action of course with Rogers that's kind of my mindset going
into the game as opposed to you know first game back after missing an entire season let's just
drop Rogers Back 40 times a game and have Bosa and hardgrave and all these different guys Leonard
Floyd just tee off on him so and it's not to say that you know if Rogers drops back and throws it
a lot uh you know in the first half he's going to just get sacked a ton but I I just like the
mindset of okay let's stick to the ground game what's kind of your Takeaway on the Jets offense
versus the Niners defense what are you looking forward uh forward to yeah man I mean I'm right
there with you I think I kind of want the Jets to Pound That Rock a little bit though because I
want to see how the Niners test to that they were a really bad run defense last year I mean the guys
were running all over us you know I remember Aaron Jones against the Green Packers he was slicing in
tyon um so I I do want to see a talented running back in Breece Hall uh what he can do to the sers
defense uh again you mentioned Javon Hargrave I really want to see him be able to clog that middle
uh they traded for Malik Collins from the Houston Texans just this year he's a big guy had a solid
preseason um so again I really just want to see that our big boys clog up that middle no Eric
Armstead gonna be a little bit different because he was such a big guy but I always felt like you
know he he was he did kind of get tossed around um in in in the Run game also no Javon kinlaw he's
he's over on y side there um so yeah I I want to see these new uh interior D linemen really pick
up the pace and I'm curious to see our linebackers also with no Dre Greenlaw I believe yeah so he's
gonna be out um to see how they can react to the run and stop that before it gets going see dude
even like without green law I feel like you guys are going to be fine defensively like not not
necessarily just for like this week one game but just like through the course of the Season
you know I think your linebacking core is good and I think the Niners do a really good job and
we've seen this from the Jets but Saul of course came from the ners they do a really good job
of developing linebackers yeah in my opin well really developing a lot of different positions but
specifically like with linebackers for what San FR wants to do yeah and that's what I was gonna
say you know we talked about the edge rushers with Assan reic being out I'm not too concerned
uh if if I'm a if I'm if I'm the Jets I'm not too concerned with Germaine Johnson Will McDonald
though they're young sales has such a great track record with what he can do with defenses that I I
think you know Jermaine Johnson I was a big fan of him coming out of the draft I think the Jets had
a great draft that year that with sauce and gett Wilson um and so yeah that that really put me on
watch with the with the Jets I've always been kind of uh rooting for them uh since then and then of
course the trade with Rogers which is it's gonna be it's gonna be like it's gonna be quite a game
you know we had we had a game yesterday with the Chiefs and Ravens this can very well overtake that
for for the game of the week I mean yeah dude 100% 100% I I think it's going to go right down the um
not to you know put you on the spot here but what are you thinking as far as score prediction who
do you think who who do you got winning all right yeah so you know I I I could really see it going
back and forth I'm gonna I'm I'm a Niner fan I gotta pick the ners uh the spread is four and
a half that's very tight I got ners I'm gonna say 31 to 24 maybe1 points 31 points I think it's
gonna be I think it's gonna be pretty I think this pretty pretty high scored I think both offenses
are going to get going and yeah I could see it going I want to see Brock predy you know use his
legs a little bit scramble out um I'm excited to watch uh bran auk versus S Gardner uh is does
s fall receivers or is he gonna stay on his not not really I mean the Jets have kind of talked or
Salah has talked about you know maybe doing it a little bit more um but you know traditionally oh
traditionally in the system it it's just kind of one side okay you know since you know sa as you
know uh came from Seattle then Jacksonville in San Francisco so he's never really had I mean
even like Richard Sherman would stick on one side of the field um you know back back in those
the lobb days but uh yeah dude s hasn't really follow too much maybe that changes I don't think
we're probably going to see it a lot Monday night because the 49ers can hurt you both directions
it's not or not on both directions on either side of the offensive line and it's not like DJ Reid on
the other side is like a ailles heel where we're like okay we got to cover him and you know make
sure he always has help or make sure he's always on like the weak uh part of the opposing offense
um dude San Francisco like it it's it's I I feel like defensive coordinators will drive themselves
crazy trying to think of you know how to stop this Niners offense when it comes match it's a match
up nightmare yeah you got so many guys you take out Debo you got auk and KD and CMC to worry about
you take out another them you got the rest I mean I get it but I think if any team were to stop him
it's that talented Jets roster man I mean likewise to the ners I feel like they've got guys at each
level I I I can admit that you know I have the Jets going really far this season um yeah I mean
you got yeah we mentioned the D line linebackers I mean CJ Mosley he's nobody to to ignore he's
still great tackler and then of course Quincy Williams who hey we'll see him being tested with
with KD there and I feel like he has the speed and Zone coverage enough to at least stick with KD
potentially and then of course that secondary is maybe one of the best in the league I mean I I I
got to respect what the Jets have built out there cool man cool and then also too for everybody
listening uh his link is going to be listed right down below in the description box go check them
out on YouTube on Instagram as well um and then uh dude do you have a Twitter by the way um I do I do
uh it's just for sure at just at the Gold Rush pod at the Gold Rush pod um but what what's your
score prediction real quick just before we end it off yeah dude so I'm gonna go opposite I think
it's gonna be low scoring I I think um again just knowing how talented the Jets defense is and the
49ers defense and also to you know looking at look looking at the 49s weaknesses on the offensive
line I think we're going to have a lot of success there and then you know if you flip him I do think
it might take Rogers a little bit to get I don't think we're going to see a 300 yard 400 you know
some insane statistical day from Rogers you know if anything I think it's just going to be a lot of
ball control going up and down the field eating a lot of clock from both sides um but ultimately
red the the I think both defensive schemes do a good job in the Red Zone too like it it's just
hard to you know once once you have that back that that wall behind you you know and everything
is condensed you know the Zone coverage is just lethal from again from both sides here but yeah
I'm gonna go Jets 20 n or 17 uh but literally coming down to like a last two minute drive or
four minute drive you know in the fourth quarter something like that um I can see if the Niners do
go down um by I would say like 10 plus points it's gonna be an uph battle and it frankly I I'm gonna
I might lose hope if we go down 10 points that might be wraps because of how talented this Jets
team is and how Rogers how smart Rogers is with the ball yeah dude I'll say this man like whoever
loses you know on week one like it it's it's not the end of the world obviously you know whatever
it's week one but it's the AFC NFC so it's not like you're losing a divisional game and on top
of that man like half the league is is 0 And1 you know so it's not great way to put it yeah yeah I I
mean so it's not like you're gonna be in the whole you know you're 0 and five and six or you know
you're in this wild card race or or any like of course the game of course obviously it matters
so much but you know it's a lot different than you know the the Jets and the Niners squaring
up in week 15 week 16 then it's just like holy crap like there's so so much happening but yeah
because it's so early you know I think there might be a little bit of rust from both sides again
you know with with Trent Williams and iuk and stuff um and then from the jet side of it we did
have a lot of injured players it's not just Rogers it's it's ABT coming back and Tyran Smith missed
time last season Morgan Moses missed some time so Mike Williams obviously he's going to be on a
snap count but yeah dude we'll see but uh dude I know I said 15 minutes and we're approaching 20
so I appreciate oh yeah for sure for sure we're gonna see Rogers uh you know something is gonna I
think one of his streaks he six and seven versus the ners and I believe what he's undefeated or
something like that in Monday night games I saw some some crazy stat like that uh he does good
he does good in prime time basically so we'll see which curse it is which curse is going to be
awesome man awesome well yeah dude thanks so much for hopping on thanks so much for everybody tuning
in watching hanging out and as always go Jets
