Aaron Rodgers is functionally the head coach of the Jets, not Robert Saleh

I walked away from this Hard Knocks episode two, asking myself a simple question. Who's the coach of the Jets? Is it Robert Saleh... or is it Aaron Rodgers? ... Robert Saleh turned to Aaron Rodgers and he said, 'we gotta get them [the O-line] right for you, buddy.' And I said, huh, that's weird. Tail wagging the dog. That feels like Aaron Rodgers is coaching this team.

The Jets finished 7-10 and Robert Saleh was eventually fired in 2024, partly due to the inability to manage the Rodgers era effectively.

A dominant defensive line can emasculate and ruin the confidence of their own offensive line in practice

I think the fact that their defensive line is so good that they [the Jets offensive line] get their ass kicked every day by a really good defensive line. That's a little bit emasculating. You lose your confidence. ... The Jets should make their defensive line worse so that their offensive line could get better.

While a creative theory, iron sharpens iron is the standard football philosophy; however, the Jets offensive line did struggle significantly in 2023.

Ben Johnson ran the illegal play wrong on purpose

I think Ben Johnson ran it wrong on purpose to put something on tape that then he can run a variation off of it.

This is an interpretation of coaching intent that cannot be definitively verified from the game broadcast.

The Bears are good

I think the Bears are good.

Whether the 2026 Bears are 'good' is ultimately a season-level subjective assessment.

The NFL is testing its way toward Tuesday and Wednesday games

Florio basically was like the NFL is testing out putting teams three times in a row on primetime because we're going to get to a point where they start playing Tuesday and Wednesday games. And I believe it.

This can be evaluated if the NFL introduces regular Tuesday or Wednesday games as described.
