Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hard to talk about the Giants from the weekend because
- 0:02Speaker 1: the Giants how to protect their quarterback. One quarterback got
- 0:06Speaker 1: to play in week two. One quarterback, Well, we better
- 0:09Speaker 1: not play them. Can f Jackson Dart in the blue
- 0:12Speaker 1: tenth in week two the preseason?
- 0:14Speaker 2: And I think that's a mistake.
- 0:16Speaker 1: I think not playing Jackson Dart And I haven't heard
- 0:19Speaker 1: yet if either starter is gonna play later this week
- 0:23Speaker 1: when the Jets play the Giants.
- 0:25Speaker 2: My gut is no.
- 0:26Speaker 1: My gut tells me that the Geno Smith touchdown drive
- 0:30Speaker 1: is all we're getting out of him this preseason. And
- 0:33Speaker 1: my gut tells me that the touchdown pass in week
- 0:37Speaker 1: one of the preseason is all you're getting out of
- 0:40Speaker 1: Jackson Dart, which means we have to wait. The next
- 0:43Speaker 1: time you're gonna see Jackson Dart is Sunday night against
- 0:46Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. The next time we're gonna see Geno
- 0:49Speaker 1: Smith is at one o'clock against the Tennessee Titan.
- 0:52Speaker 3: Is quick caught and right? Will the starting quarterbacks play
- 0:55Speaker 3: this weekend? This guy Hall of Famer WN legend and
- 0:58Speaker 3: now sib Rosenberg contributor, my former midday partner on the fan,
- 1:02Speaker 3: The Great Joe Bningo.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Joe. Good Tuesday morning, buddy. How are you?
- 1:06Speaker 4: What's up? Sidney Auta? Hey doing baby?
- 1:08Speaker 3: I am doing great. Lot is up? Friday night? Jetson Giants,
- 1:12Speaker 3: the under the preseason. Here comes regular season football. Jetson Titans,
- 1:16Speaker 3: one o'clock on the thirteenth that night, Sunday Night, eight
- 1:19Speaker 3: twenty Giants and Dallas. What Craig seems to think your
- 1:22Speaker 3: teammate there at the fan that neither starting quarterback will
- 1:26Speaker 3: play this weekend. That makes no sense to me. You know,
- 1:29Speaker 3: they used to bench these guys the last preseason game,
- 1:31Speaker 3: but that's when they played four, not three.
- 1:33Speaker 2: What do you think I.
- 1:35Speaker 4: Think neither of them play. To be very honest with you,
- 1:38Speaker 4: you know what, let's be honest it. Okay, preseason football,
- 1:42Speaker 4: which I likened to non alcoholic beer. Okay, pretty much
- 1:45Speaker 4: it's pretty much the same thing. Look you mentioned it,
- 1:50Speaker 4: Chad Pennington, Jason Seahorn. You know I still got scars
- 1:54Speaker 4: from when Joe Namath got hurt in the first preseason
- 1:56Speaker 4: game in nineteen seventy one against the Lions. That's right,
- 1:59Speaker 4: So I know what, So you know, I I why
- 2:03Speaker 4: why play him? Look anymore? With the way the preseason
- 2:07Speaker 4: is now in the NFL. You know, the limited contact
- 2:11Speaker 4: they have in practice and all this. Now, you know,
- 2:14Speaker 4: you're really the first couple of games of the now
- 2:16Speaker 4: eternal seventeen game regular season. So the B eighteen are
- 2:20Speaker 4: really like preseason games. I mean, you know, I hate
- 2:23Speaker 4: to say it that way because the games count, but
- 2:26Speaker 4: it probably takes a few games before, you know, you
- 2:29Speaker 4: really start to hit your stride. So I don't think
- 2:32Speaker 4: you're gonna see anybody play. I mean you really, I
- 2:34Speaker 4: mean that's generally what it is.
- 2:37Speaker 3: No when you played four games, But I mean, at
- 2:39Speaker 3: least he's quarterbacks played a couple of games, so they
- 2:41Speaker 3: don't start the first game of the year completely rusty,
- 2:44Speaker 3: even though it's a couple of weeks apart.
- 2:45Speaker 2: But I think you're right.
- 2:46Speaker 3: I think you know, when Jackson Dart got blasted by
- 2:50Speaker 3: that Viking defensive back, and I know he finished the
- 2:52Speaker 3: drive by throwing.
- 2:53Speaker 4: The Tracy missed the block, and then he had a
- 2:55Speaker 4: big fumble last week in the Dolphin game. For what
- 2:58Speaker 4: that means, but.
- 2:58Speaker 3: No, that means a lot, you know. And the other
- 3:00Speaker 3: the other kid that got from the Bills years ago,
- 3:02Speaker 3: Singletary is playing much better football.
- 3:03Speaker 4: Than and he also signed naj Harris.
- 3:06Speaker 3: Right, the former Pittsburgh Steeler in Alabama running back. But nevertheless,
- 3:10Speaker 3: he throws a touchdown the end of that possession. That dry,
- 3:12Speaker 3: But that one scared the hell out of me and
- 3:15Speaker 3: the Giants.
- 3:16Speaker 4: I'm sure well it didn't scared Dart because he wasn't
- 3:18Speaker 4: too thrilled about going into the blaze. I know he
- 3:20Speaker 4: can playing, and let's be honest, ok I gotta be
- 3:23Speaker 4: honest about this, Okay, all right, I'm all for safety players,
- 3:26Speaker 4: safety and all. Really, you know what, in a lot
- 3:28Speaker 4: of ways, that blue tent is just you know, I'll
- 3:31Speaker 4: call it virtue signaling SID Because if they were so
- 3:34Speaker 4: worried about injuries, then why are they playing seventeen games?
- 3:37Speaker 4: Why they soon to be playing eighteen games? Why did
- 3:40Speaker 4: they have the San Francisco forty nine ers in the Rams,
- 3:42Speaker 4: two of the marquee teams in the league, A right
- 3:44Speaker 4: to certain suit Super Bowl contenders fly into freaking Australia
- 3:49Speaker 4: for an NFL game on Thursday night?
- 3:53Speaker 3: Why I don't know. I don't like any of those.
- 3:55Speaker 3: I don't like the Mexico games of London.
- 3:57Speaker 4: Games, right, don't get wrong about this.
- 3:59Speaker 2: Oh, you're right. They got their own and I got
- 4:01Speaker 2: shot love Art.
- 4:02Speaker 4: I know he's not on my team. We should have
- 4:03Speaker 4: drafted him. I can't tell you how much I love him.
- 4:07Speaker 3: Then if you love Jackson Dart that much, and you
- 4:09Speaker 3: got the great coach in John Hawball and the deep
- 4:12Speaker 3: manse should be really good. You got a bunch of
- 4:14Speaker 3: first rounders. I can't stand up Dual Carter, but he's
- 4:16Speaker 3: a first rounder obviously, right. You got Reest there who
- 4:20Speaker 3: looks good in the preseason. You must have very high
- 4:22Speaker 3: expectations for the Giants.
- 4:23Speaker 4: I love the Giants. I would I don't know what
- 4:26Speaker 4: the over under is for them. I'm not sure what
- 4:28Speaker 4: it is.
- 4:28Speaker 2: It's I think it's eight and a half, but I'm
- 4:30Speaker 2: not shifty.
- 4:31Speaker 4: I would clearly bet the over, and really they got it.
- 4:33Speaker 4: I think they got a realistic shot to win the division.
- 4:35Speaker 4: That's what I think.
- 4:36Speaker 2: So you think the Giants are going what ten and
- 4:38Speaker 2: seven are?
- 4:38Speaker 4: I think you win ten and se I cauld see
- 4:40Speaker 4: him wining ten games. I think that's not so you
- 4:42Speaker 4: think you think how? Health is a fact that right
- 4:45Speaker 4: neighbors neighbors has to stay healthy. The offensive line has
- 4:48Speaker 4: to play well, obviously Dark has to stay healthy. That
- 4:50Speaker 4: goes without saying, uh, but you know, you got the
- 4:54Speaker 4: two things that are to me that are the most
- 4:56Speaker 4: essential things you need to win in the NFL, and
- 4:59Speaker 4: that's a coach and a quarterback.
- 5:01Speaker 2: You do have that.
- 5:02Speaker 3: But you know, the Eagles have a quarterback that's won
- 5:05Speaker 3: a super Bowl and a coach won a super Bowl.
- 5:07Speaker 3: They've gone to too and I know way Jay Browns
- 5:09Speaker 3: but in New England right now, and they've gone backwards
- 5:11Speaker 3: the last couple of years, especially Hurts. But are you
- 5:13Speaker 3: ready to catapult the Giants ahead of a team?
- 5:17Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 5:17Speaker 4: I think one of the reasons that, Look, let's be
- 5:20Speaker 4: honest about it. When the Eagles won a Super Bowl
- 5:21Speaker 4: a couple of years ago, one of the big reasons
- 5:23Speaker 4: is they had an all world year out of Saquon Barkley. Okay,
- 5:27Speaker 4: he had an unbelievable season. He had an MVP type
- 5:30Speaker 4: season that year, random football. That's one of the reasons
- 5:34Speaker 4: Hurts played as well as he did. I mean, I
- 5:37Speaker 4: think the Eagles are still good. I do. I think
- 5:39Speaker 4: Dallas is going to be much improved if the defense,
- 5:42Speaker 4: you know, you know, gets better, because their defense has
- 5:44Speaker 4: been a disaster we know Dallas can score points. We
- 5:47Speaker 4: no offensive lead, They're very good. I don't know where
- 5:49Speaker 4: Washington is. We'll see what happens. Daniels is coming back,
- 5:52Speaker 4: but I give I give the Giants a shot, Bro,
- 5:55Speaker 4: I do, I really do.
- 5:57Speaker 3: Let's talk about your Jets. What if you see this
- 6:00Speaker 3: preseason to make you feel good or not so good
- 6:03Speaker 3: about this upcoming season?
- 6:05Speaker 4: Well, I think, look, they're gonna be better by accident,
- 6:07Speaker 4: you know, But I look, I love the moves that
- 6:10Speaker 4: First of all, the best thing the Jets have going
- 6:12Speaker 4: for them is the general manager, Darren Mougie, who I
- 6:15Speaker 4: think really knows what the hell he's doing. I got
- 6:17Speaker 4: to tell you that, Bro, I like the moves he's made.
- 6:20Speaker 4: I love the draft. I think you know one thing
- 6:22Speaker 4: we know about Geno is he can throw a pass.
- 6:24Speaker 4: I mean we know that. I mean you know we
- 6:26Speaker 4: had a quarterback last year that couldn't. We know Gino can.
- 6:30Speaker 4: And remember one thing about Gino too, everybody you know
- 6:32Speaker 4: last year bad year or raatest radst thunk and all
- 6:35Speaker 4: of is he played behind an offensive line. He got
- 6:38Speaker 4: sacked fifty five times last year. Gino Smith fifty five times.
- 6:42Speaker 4: The offensive line and the Jets this year should be
- 6:44Speaker 4: a strength with the two first round bookend tackles, you know,
- 6:48Speaker 4: leading the way. I think they're gonna be a much
- 6:50Speaker 4: better football team than you think. And I think they're
- 6:53Speaker 4: clearly flying under the radar. Nobody has any expectation level
- 6:57Speaker 4: for them in all. Do I think they're gonna make
- 6:59Speaker 4: the playoffs? No, but I think they're least going to
- 7:01Speaker 4: give us a season. You know, like my birthday is
- 7:04Speaker 4: September twenty sixth, the season will not be over by
- 7:07Speaker 4: my birthday.
- 7:08Speaker 3: I didn't realize your birthday is a day before my
- 7:10Speaker 3: beautiful wife, Danielle's birthday. She's nine twenty seventh. Yeah, she's
- 7:13Speaker 3: September twenty seventh. So yea, both Bergos.
- 7:15Speaker 4: Younger than me and obviously a lot better looking.
- 7:17Speaker 2: So no, you look great. Cut that out.
- 7:20Speaker 3: Look anyway you look at it. They're a third place team.
- 7:22Speaker 3: They're not better than New England or Buffalo. They're better
- 7:24Speaker 3: than Miami. So the third place team.
- 7:26Speaker 4: Yeah, but which is fine. I mean I just want
- 7:29Speaker 4: to see, you know what I want said, Like, if
- 7:31Speaker 4: we're in December and they showed a playoff breakdown, they
- 7:35Speaker 4: always showed that, you know who's in who's leading the division?
- 7:38Speaker 4: You know, they got that column in the hunt. Could
- 7:41Speaker 4: I be in the hunt in December?
- 7:42Speaker 2: That's fair?
- 7:43Speaker 3: Any other team, you know, Aaron Rodger is his final
- 7:46Speaker 3: season in Pittsburgh.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Kansas City gets Kenneth.
- 7:48Speaker 3: Walker who ran the ball so well with the Seahawks,
- 7:51Speaker 3: who won the Super Bowl last year, you know, and
- 7:54Speaker 3: the brother with the Chiefs are going to be better anyway.
- 7:56Speaker 3: Any other teams that you're looking at at the start
- 7:59Speaker 3: of this season that the very least interest do you find?
- 8:03Speaker 2: Uh interesting?
- 8:04Speaker 4: Well? I think the Rams I mean or they brought
- 8:06Speaker 4: Miles Garrett in. Uh, you know, they came close last year.
- 8:10Speaker 4: They still got the big time quarterback in Stafford. You
- 8:12Speaker 4: know he got uh you know, uh pooh and the
- 8:15Speaker 4: coop you know catching the football there. I you know,
- 8:19Speaker 4: you always got to look at them. The one thing
- 8:20Speaker 4: about them is that that division is brutal. You got
- 8:23Speaker 4: you know, Seattle's in the Division San Francisco, so that's
- 8:26Speaker 4: gonna be a tough division.
- 8:27Speaker 3: Let me go to Seattle because I think the Rams
- 8:29Speaker 3: are the best team in football. They've been the best
- 8:30Speaker 3: team in football, I think for years. Haven't won the
- 8:32Speaker 3: Super Bowl every year, but Seattle did win the Super
- 8:35Speaker 3: Bowl last year with Sam Donald did Do you think
- 8:37Speaker 3: that was a flash in the pant for Sam or
- 8:39Speaker 3: they'll be great again this year?
- 8:40Speaker 4: Well, look, Sam had Let's be honest. I mean, he
- 8:43Speaker 4: had a tremendous year a couple of years ago in Minnesota.
- 8:45Speaker 2: I know, but the two biggest games you needed to win,
- 8:47Speaker 2: he was awful.
- 8:48Speaker 4: But now he won the Super Bowl. So the biggest
- 8:50Speaker 4: games goin to win, he's won. You know, uh, look
- 8:55Speaker 4: you look back to that season. I mean, I don't
- 8:57Speaker 4: love this coach is Kevin O'Connell, and he thinks he
- 8:59Speaker 4: knows what he's doing. You know, come on, now, he's
- 9:01Speaker 4: got Kyler Murray as his starting quarterback. He really got
- 9:03Speaker 4: a lot of confidence in him. You know, he drafted
- 9:05Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy. You let Donald go. That was a mistake.
- 9:08Speaker 4: Let's be honest about it. You gotta give Donald credit.
- 9:11Speaker 4: I mean, he's always had the ability. I don't think
- 9:13Speaker 4: he was ever a coach right with the Jets and
- 9:15Speaker 4: ever he used right there, So good for him.
- 9:19Speaker 2: I saw somebody on ESPN this week.
- 9:20Speaker 4: And another in the long list of Jet and first
- 9:24Speaker 4: round draft choices that won a Super Bowl somewhere.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Out someplace else. Yeah, I know that.
- 9:28Speaker 3: I know somebody in ESPN this weekend said that look
- 9:32Speaker 3: out where the Chargers this year.
- 9:34Speaker 4: Chargers are a fake team. Give me a break. One
- 9:36Speaker 4: of the most overrated teams every year, in one of
- 9:38Speaker 4: the most overrated teams in football. They never win. Okay,
- 9:41Speaker 4: we always talk about their quarterback, whether it's Philip Rivers
- 9:44Speaker 4: or whether now it's the kid Herbert and why I
- 9:46Speaker 4: think is extremely overrated. It's got a good looking wife,
- 9:49Speaker 4: but extremely overrated, no doubt about that.
- 9:51Speaker 2: But they got the coach.
- 9:52Speaker 4: I don't buy the Charges for a second.
- 9:54Speaker 2: You don't like Jim Harboll coach.
- 9:56Speaker 4: He's a great coach, but still win. I don't. The
- 9:58Speaker 4: Charges are a fake team to me, bro every.
- 10:01Speaker 3: Year, Would you be interested next year at this time
- 10:04Speaker 3: when Gino decides Jezo Rabbitta because this guy did not
- 10:09Speaker 3: get a new deal from Tampa Bay. Would you want
- 10:11Speaker 3: to see Baker Mayfield in a Jets uniform.
- 10:14Speaker 4: If you would have told me this when he first
- 10:16Speaker 4: became a free agent a few years ago. If you
- 10:18Speaker 4: all in, I want my own quarterbacks, sid, I gotta
- 10:20Speaker 4: be very honest with you. You know it doesn't work
- 10:23Speaker 4: when we bring these guys in. It didn't work with
- 10:24Speaker 4: Brett fab it didn't work with Aaron Rodgers. You know,
- 10:27Speaker 4: it did work with Vinnie many years ago. But you
- 10:30Speaker 4: know generally that doesn't work. We have to get our
- 10:32Speaker 4: own guy. And I want to see this kid, Club
- 10:35Speaker 4: Nick play. I gotta tell you right now. I want
- 10:36Speaker 4: to see him at some point this year get a
- 10:39Speaker 4: shot because next year my team is sitting there with
- 10:42Speaker 4: three first round draft choices, and I you know, with
- 10:45Speaker 4: the chances off, we're going to draft a quarterback. But
- 10:48Speaker 4: what if we didn't have to? You know what I'm saying.
- 10:50Speaker 4: So I want to see Clubnick play. I know they
- 10:52Speaker 4: were very high and I'm Frank Reich was high on
- 10:54Speaker 4: and Moujie was high on him. Let's see what happened
- 10:56Speaker 4: to play four years of Clemson started a lot of games.
- 10:59Speaker 4: I do want to see what we got in him
- 11:01Speaker 4: at some point this year. You know I don't want
- 11:05Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield.
- 11:05Speaker 3: Okay, one more, let you run that black and blue
- 11:08Speaker 3: NFC North. You know you mentioned the Vikings with Kyler
- 11:10Speaker 3: Murray and JJ McCarthy. They may be a last placed
- 11:13Speaker 3: team this year, They're not a bad football team because
- 11:15Speaker 3: it's so top.
- 11:16Speaker 2: Heavy that division.
- 11:17Speaker 3: I did hear Colin Toward say this weekend that the
- 11:19Speaker 3: Packers will take the biggest step backwards. They've got Michael Parsons,
- 11:23Speaker 3: by the way, and they're not going to make the playoffs.
- 11:25Speaker 3: He likes the Bears over the Lions.
- 11:27Speaker 2: What about that division?
- 11:29Speaker 4: It's a very tough division. Unfortunately, the Jets in weeks two, three,
- 11:33Speaker 4: and four have to play three of those teams everybody
- 11:35Speaker 4: not named the Vikings, which is that by which doesn't help,
- 11:38Speaker 4: by the way, But anyway, I think it's a very
- 11:42Speaker 4: good division. I don't know.
- 11:46Speaker 2: There are a lot of people.
- 11:47Speaker 4: I probably like the Bear.
- 11:49Speaker 2: Yeah, there are.
- 11:49Speaker 3: There are a lot of people saying that we like
- 11:51Speaker 3: Caleb Williams. Caleb Williams is about to make.
- 11:53Speaker 4: That Why the Lions had this shot and the coach
- 11:56Speaker 4: blew it. They should have been in the super Bowl
- 11:58Speaker 4: a couple of years ago when they lost the game
- 11:59Speaker 4: to San Francisco and.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Dan Campbell did blow that game. All right, So here
- 12:04Speaker 2: we go we got football.
- 12:06Speaker 3: Any any pawning words on on the Yankees chances, uh, I.
- 12:12Speaker 4: Love the Yankees. I mean, look at the Yankees. They
- 12:14Speaker 4: continued to win even without all the big play without Judge. Obviously,
- 12:18Speaker 4: Gene Carlos probably looks like he's done for the year.
- 12:20Speaker 4: Max Freed is out. They got Bellinger back the other day,
- 12:23Speaker 4: you know, and they've gotten a real, a real boost
- 12:25Speaker 4: from this kid Lombard. Uh, Spencer Jones now has started
- 12:28Speaker 4: to hit for them. I know he got the injury
- 12:31Speaker 4: the Weather's that is a blow and his no doubt.
- 12:34Speaker 4: I think the Yankees, you know, I don't care whether
- 12:37Speaker 4: they win the division or not. I think the Yankees
- 12:39Speaker 4: are winning the American League.
- 12:40Speaker 2: Oh you do, yeah, Yankees, Dodgers World Series?
- 12:44Speaker 4: Uh?
- 12:44Speaker 2: Probably probably What other NL team do you like?
- 12:48Speaker 4: Uh? I tell you, how about the Brewers? Man, he
- 12:50Speaker 4: got the best record in baseball right now? Mets this
- 12:53Speaker 4: week they got that kid miss erowskill though they've been
- 12:55Speaker 4: limiting his innings. It's such a joke, it really is, right,
- 13:00Speaker 4: But I mean, could the guy pitched more than four innings?
- 13:02Speaker 4: I mean, give me a break, okay, But anyway, Uh,
- 13:06Speaker 4: keep your eye on the Brews. Isn't it amazing that
- 13:08Speaker 4: the Bruis have got better since the genius David Stearns
- 13:10Speaker 4: is not By the way, I want to say this too.
- 13:15Speaker 4: By the way, I always thought the worst MET of
- 13:18Speaker 4: all time was our buddy Roberto Alomar. Right, great player,
- 13:21Speaker 4: what absolute stiff as a met. You know, we all
- 13:24Speaker 4: know to deal with his father and we did that interview.
- 13:26Speaker 4: I don't remember that. What a disaster that was. But
- 13:29Speaker 4: the new worst med ever is or Hey Polanco. He
- 13:33Speaker 4: is the worst met of all time.
- 13:34Speaker 3: Ever, Hey Polanco is the worst met of all times.
- 13:40Speaker 2: Terrible question about it, rible, terrible, terrible player, right, bro.
- 13:45Speaker 4: And they brought this in and his clown Stearns gave
- 13:48Speaker 4: him twenty million, forty million for two years. He was
- 13:52Speaker 4: supposed to replace Pete and check out what pizza in
- 13:55Speaker 4: the days, by the way, he was supposed to replace
- 13:58Speaker 4: Pete and the guy ever even played first base in
- 14:01Speaker 4: his life.
- 14:02Speaker 3: Thanks thanks, Alonzo. Alonzo another three home run season. He's
- 14:08Speaker 3: either third or fourth in the American League in home
- 14:10Speaker 3: runs right now at the Orioles having another great year.
- 14:13Speaker 2: Joe Beningo is always amazing. Job. I love you the pieces.
- 14:16Speaker 2: That was fun, buddy, Thank you so much.
