All-Access Of Aaron Rodgers' First Days As A New York Jet | Flight 23: Ascension

foreign [Music] it's a shame too because it got off to a really good start but then fell apart down the stretch and that's where the Jets are the Jets are now eliminated so let's start with the positives here's the good news here's the good news that they're not far off they were six and three I feel pretty good about the Jets for next year this is a really good roster to get clarity sometimes it's painful I think Robert Sala I'm keeping receipts right that was his phrase at the beginning I think he got a lot more right this year than he got wrong what is the very first thing that has to be done gotta get a quarterback [Music] [Applause] do you want to bring a veteran quarterback in here like is that those are you know what that's a joke question and you guys actually get to ask him yo how that quarterback room looks uh next year um look we're just we're at the very infant stages of this of putting this off-season plan together but um you know we're going to explore every single Avenue that we have to to upgrade this team upgrade this roster but we didn't get into specifics on names but it was it was uh talked about that we do plan on bringing a veteran quarterback if we can we do want to continue working with Zach and uh and continue developing and let's start with the New York Jets when I look at this list of teams that is going to be in the market for quarterbacks I think they're the one with the most potential Jets should seize the moment in this op in this window and just be like you know what like let's do it they believe that they are a Deep Run playoff team yep with a quarterback Eric Carr kind of fits the bill I think they should trade for Iran we go look at the free agent quarterbacks there's not a ton of you have that piece they LeapFrog Buffalo's not that guy is going on between the Jets and Rogers it seems like if the genie is now out of the Green Bay models the end of your career [Music] it don't get much bigger than that look right into this lens say Aaron Rodgers flight 23. oh nice Aaron Rodgers flight 23. [Music] [Music] the bright lights of New York City shine down on the Jets as they enter a pivotal off-season after a 7-10 season this team is determined to reach New Heights with their eyes set on the Ultimate Prize but in this market the pressure is immense every move every decision is under the microscope for the Jets the time is now to fly Robert Sala flight 23. 22 season let's talk about the state of the New York Jets this is what's going to dictate if this era is going to be successful because if you do nail it then it has the potential to be the start of something very positive very successful for a very long time 22 season up and down right like I just remember covering games early in the season and the vibe was so great the young guys were playing so well looks up to see fires come touchdown [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you can see the seeds that have been planted and there was the possibility of growth [Applause] position on Gabe Davis and some guy that quitted and runs into a cheetah [Music] foreign ers down the sideline intercepted great catch by DJ Reed Jermaine Jermaine you remember what you said to me when you walked out of my office you said come get me guess what we're doing we're coming to get you chased drag around the ankles and brought down Jermaine Johnson 2022 season for the Jets was promising a lot of bright spots but I guess disappointing in the end obviously a little disappointed with the way everything finished and uh we're very confident in the people that we have in this building the players that are in the locker room you know showed a lot of promise we got a lot of young guys that are continuing to grow and you know so it's there's a lot of Promise uh a lot of excitement that's going to lead into this 23 system I gotta be honest with you I cannot wait right this is a massive massive offseason for the New York Jets team that I think just about everyone can look at and say we have the defensive Championship level we don't know who's playing quarterback we don't know what the cap situation is going to look like are the Jets going to be super slow on the first couple of days are they going to miss out on a ton of guys because they just don't know what the money situation will look like but one position in particular that can take him over the edge I keep saying that this team is just a quarterback away that's what I've been telling people maybe there would be fallback plans maybe there were plan B's and C's but really they had one guy in mind there's so much promise and there's so much Optimus and this team is loaded with young talent and yet that quarterback spot all this stuff it makes it a very unique process you know quarterback um I think I speak for every coach of football is probably the most important position on the football team right now with this roster and trying to put in the hands of a veteran to put us over the hump of those fourth quarters we just thought was the right thing to do [Music] sure you know he just plays a different game you know he's uh he's had he's had so much experience he's seen every defense he's seen every coverage every bullets package every front he's well versed and obviously this game and uh so when you're when you're playing a guy like Aaron Rodgers sometimes you you might get no tendency of wanting to try to trick them when at the end of the day you really just trick yourself and so the challenge with him is just you know it's it's a battle of battle of wills you know he's he's gonna know what you're doing he's gonna know what you're what you're in pre-snap and so execution is always at a premium well for us you know just just going through all the quarterbacks obviously Aaron [Music] you know once you once you realize that yeah he's 39 but okay he still throws the ball like he's in his early 30s you know he's uh he's got a lot of energy he's got a lot of athleticism he can still rip it um it was really kind of an easy decision to just like working through and and try to see if the Aaron Rodgers possibility was even reasonable and um as we got deeper into the off season uh once we hired Nathaniel Hackett and the noise started getting louder and it just it became clear that it was something that we wanted to pursue from my understanding you know he he called two minute and uh throughout his entire career you know his his ability to move the chains and and score points in two minutes situations you know the NFL is it's a it's a game that most games fall in the last two minutes uh who has the ball last making the last Drive scoring points when you need them and uh it's something that he's done his entire career and it's not only that it's his ability to convert third downs and keep keep offense and keep his keep the offense on the field and and move the chains and grind the clock and he can score an explosive with explosive plays he can score by grinding uh grinding out long drives and uh so he he's a special talent and the biggest thing is that when he is in the red zone he scores points and and that's such a big deal obviously in this league let's talk about how Joe has really positioned this team to you know be in a spot where he can't afford to go after a player like Aaron oh for sure it's been um you know I wasn't here for the first couple where they had to tear it all down and um you know since we got here Joe has been unbelievable with regards to just communicating with the entire organization in terms of what direction we want to go and really taking the heart and uh giving us giving coaches kind of a a platform to explain our system to them and just to give us a voice and obviously his Scouts are voice and together I think it's it's been unbelievable in his leadership through that and his decision making through this whole thing has been very efficient very strong and and we've been women right all the time but we've been right more more than we have wrong if you will and and it's a credit to Joe and his staff and everything that they do and the way they've lined everything up and we knew that uh year three would be a year where we would push to go for it um I'll be in different ways but uh we've been looking forward to these moments for us today we're walking both for Robert Sala and the Jets the Ascension to become one of the League's Elite begins with one of the most talked about quarterback Pursuits in NFL history thank you starting with the biggest Stories the biggest questions that we have still remaining I think there's really only one place to start I think the New York Jets are fascinating this week because they have made it known that they are in the market for a quarterback and a veteran one well Aaron Rodgers was explaining to Pat McAfee he is going to spend a bunch of time in total darkness and trying to figure it out yeah Aaron Rodgers is as unique a figure in the NFL as there is he's got interest outside of football so he says he goes on a Darkness Retreat it's uh it's four nights of uh complete darkness and everyone freaks out I say well that's that's that's Aaron Rodgers obviously Rogers is option number one for this team but the fact that they're exploring this Derek Carr possibility tells me that they see the potential in Derek Carr I would describe the visit between Derek Carr and the Jets is very positive I think that this is a team that believes that Derek Carr can lead them to a championship I thought Derek Carr made a lot of sense and I said it often it seems like there was a bigger prize that they had in mind obviously you guys have seen reports about us bringing Derek Carr in about a week and a half ago I can tell you that was a fantastic visit I really enjoyed spending time with him obviously he's the only quarterback to act and I can really shed any light on for you guys you may ask actually have more bites of the apple with Aaron Rodgers than Derek Carr the New York Jets are they going to be the first team to say you know what we're putting all our cards on the table Derek Carr's our guy let's go or are they going to wait on maybe a bigger fish I don't think the Jets uh would be in a terrible place with Derek Carr was the guy they pursued but they're going for a bigger fish they're going for Aaron Rodgers the question here is how long can you wait sign Derek Carr so Derek Carr has to make a decision right he he can't wait forever on some other options it's a tough balance for Joe Douglas for Rob herself his entire building to figure out what they're going to do here and the first free agent quarterback Domino appears to be poised to fall Derek Carr he is now going to the Saints the saints that was always like their option A getting Derek Carr I think to me the biggest store is like okay what is what is the league of jets the Jets score basically got to be all in on Aaron Rodgers the Delta between Rogers and most quarterbacks in the history of the game is huge this guy can still play he could still do it and players will feed off that and I think the Jets have to be considered a legitimate contender in the AFC with Derek Carr off the table the Jets have their sights on Aaron Rodgers after receiving permission from the Packers to speak with him it's wheels up to California to meet with the future Hall of Famer face to face the New York Jets have flown on Woody Johnson's private plane to California to meet with Aaron Rodgers in person per sources they land soon the Jets get on the plane they head out to California they go see Aaron Rodgers and you know this is not happening without Roger's blessing the sense I'm getting is that this is just the first step hopefully in in a string of bigger steps for the Jets all the right people are in the Brigade that's heading out to try Wu air Roger I assume they're out here in Malibu okay okay has a house you go to Malibu and you let TMZ take photos of you because Adam is Adam's going to the Dead from there when you fly in the offensive coordinator and you fly in multiple owners and you fly in a team president and you do all that and you don't come back with the big fish you better get that big fish and you'd like to think they can get that done sooner rather than later so here we are right the Jets feel good because it gave everything they possibly could right to Aaron Rodgers to say this is the place where you can come and not only win but perhaps add to your legacy but it's going to come down to Aaron Rodgers's decision the crazy part about this entire process is we still haven't heard from Aaron at all since it came out of the darkness then out of nowhere a tweet goes out that says he's appearing on the Maxi show tomorrow and it just makes you wonder what's he gonna say [Music] hello beautiful people Welcome to our humble above the Thunderdome on this Aaron Rodgers Wednesday March 15 2023 the program starts now much better much Mana to you as well watching all around the globe today has become a massive day in our program's history because just yesterday at about 5 15 p.m I would send a text that said hey I think it's time hell yeah and I said what do you mean you think it's time I think it's time to let the world hear where we're at and I said Aaron you let me know if you want me to let the world know about you coming on tomorrow and he said yeah let's do it let's take a two to three minute breaking on the other side Aaron Rodgers will be here for the first time a long time very proud to be here on a proud day and an exciting day for the franchises we Usher in a new chapter ladies and Gentlemen please join me in welcoming Joe Douglas to Jets Nation you're getting a general manager that is a Relentless worker someone that understands a winning culture someone that is going to strive to put a product on the field each Sunday that competes for greatness and that I hope will make you proud how's it going hey Coach Joe Douglas what's up Joe yeah good good to talk to you again oh yeah no it's gonna be great part of the messaging is to bring things always back to us yep don't care who you have on your roster I don't care who you're lining up with hey guys this is the scheme but they have to deal with us they have to do a car speed they have to deal with our technique they have to deal with our violence they have to deal with our Relentless all gas no break mindset for 60 minutes look the main thing is you know we find the guys that fit us our mentality they love football it will take time but everything we do is going to be designed to win championships in the future I saw us uh him and djb would absolutely take a look at the entire defense we need dogs like you man in a Defensive Rookie of the Year a war goes to Sauce gardener I'll just come in be you don't have to do anything special just be you and sit inside and trust me being used good enough 2022 AP offensive rookie of the year is Garrett Wilson [Applause] we ask not to judge us on what has happened in the past but to judge us on what we do moving forward and uh and what what happens moving forward we think it's going to be special where I was at mentally was this would be a great transition into the next chapter of my life so what does it look like what did you uh like where are you at right now when it comes to everything we hear about the jet situation the coaches GM flew out to see you in Southern California where like where are you right now what are we doing this isn't a decision day this isn't me deciding and passing to the world that this is what's going on uh in fact that's already happened yeah we're we're actually days past this um this is kind of clearing things up I think for everybody interested which there obviously seems to be a lot of people interested so No Malice no bitterness towards Packers then Bittersweet for sure the last the last 10 days so I've shifted my focus to entertaining you know what the plane would look like and have the you know the Packers granted I'm supermission for the Justice to come out of business um they decide to leave their cars in the street was attractive Paparazzi attention which got you know a few of them photograph which I thought was pretty funny at this point as I sit here you know I think since Friday uh I made it clear that my intention was to play and my intention was to play for the New York Jets okay because I still have that fire and I and I want to play and I would like to play in New York it's just a matter of um you know getting that done at this point hey thank you for allowing this to happen today we appreciate you all right take care ladies and gentlemen Aaron here we are in New York for the 65th annual National Football League selection meeting in 2000 the Jets made history as the first team to have four first-round Selections in the NFL draft if you heard the term in New York Minute the Jets are on the clock 2000 the New York Jets select Sean Ellis defensive end Tennessee the New York Jets selected John Abraham linebacker South Carolina the possibility that the Jets are going to go for Chad Pennington here the jet select quarterback Chad Pennington the New York Jets select Anthony becht tight end West Virginia [Applause] before the quarterback search took Center Stage the Jets offseason began with a key decision within the last few moments we receive news that I think that ranks right up there you know with with I don't even know what as maybe the most significant news that I've ever heard in my entire life and that is that the New York Jets are hiring Nathaniel Hackett as their offensive coordinator now go through his Litany of successful stops as an offensive coordinator as an OC he's fielded a top 10 scoring offense three times as a coordinator here's the head coach Robert Sala on the surface everybody's looking at what took place in Denver but there's obviously more to yeah there you know uh and you gotta own it right it's part of the resume I and I get it but you know uh you got to have the discipline to look past recency bias but the fact of the matter is is that he got that to Denver and he had that opportunity because of his life's work as an offensive coordinator and all the different things that he's done in this league and how much respect he's garnered throughout the league and all those different spots and all the people he's uh all the players he's developed in his career in the and the and the people that he's worked with so uh like I said super excited about him being our offensive coordinator and giving him an opportunity to work with our young guys and uh and all the uh uh things that we've got going for uh going for us before we go into mine that's wide receivers uh kind of the way that we look at them is um there's three positions that we'll utilize uh for the wide receivers obviously for all players toughness and intelligence is so important intelligence especially for a wide receiver because the more intelligent he is the faster that he can learn a concept and the faster we can put a guy anywhere on the field I like Devonte one thing that I think is so special about him is his intelligence is off the charts in my opinion for football that's what made us uh have the ability to move him around all over the place as they wait on qb-1 the Jets are prepared to add horsepower to the offense and adding to the receiver room is Step number one we are back on get up I told you Adam schefter was on the phone and there was good reason for that shefty with breaking news shefty take it away your New York Jets are actively working to try to sign Packers free agent wide receiver Alan Lazard he and the Jets finalizing a four-year 44 million dollar deal now this deal has come up over the last couple of days Lazard a player that I know a lot of teams like and this is a good number for a wide receiver in this market right now because a lot of wide receivers are going to be well south of this number three two one Alan Lazard flight 23. I mean it's a good move by the New York Jets he's bigger he's more physical he's better in the red zone he's not drew me to New York Jets was really New York I was ready for the big lights in the city Alan what does this uh mean to you going for being an undrafted uh rookie to where you're at now signing this big deal with the Jets it means everything my dreams my ambition have never wavered but going undrafted being in Jacksonville on the practice block getting cut twice still I still feel undrafted because the checks haven't hit yet yeah boy yeah watching briefs play at Iowa State um took gave me a lot of Pride um as an Alum I remember my sophomore year high school to be watching this dude on TV now I'm playing with him this one for Lazard makes the play touchdown you know I think what makes me so unique is uh the diversity that I bring in the offensive game you take away one part of my game then there's a lot of other things that I can bring to the table as well he's got good fall skills he's really good Target in the red zone I'm one of those guys who just loves guys who come from from the bottom and have made his way up news in the dead pursuit of Aaron Rodgers yesterday they signed free agent receiver Nicole Hardman formerly of the Chiefs and then they traded receiver Eliza Moore to the Browns along with a third round pick for second round picks Nicole Hartman flight 23. okay man it's all about tonight baby before it's so full you know one Nicole Hardman weapon explodes Dives the jet has landed the plane touchdown oh I think you know that little man locker room it'd be cool man I think I can definitely bring that Championship mentality we're good do you feel like Hardware gas it goes to Hardman on the air took the five stops starts one touchdown I think the furnace is built and I think it's just gonna take like the you know the right mindset the mentality and the the right steps to get there everything that you know the organization doing here is in the right direction um to get there so that's it for me with the NFL draft on the horizon the Jets lock in on acquiring Aaron Rodgers as the Sports World awaits the historic trade let's bring Adam schefter in here Adam interesting there from Lynch what more can you tell us about treylands and the quarterback situation in San Francisco oh Lord we have breaking news right now uh breaking news

yeah so it looked every palettes designed to go all the way so we stopped sure coach Sala and the Jets brass have a reason to smile they just pulled off a trade to acquire one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game when I think of the greatest I think of a man called Aaron Rodgers his number one player in the NFL Aaron Rodgers what are you talking about I think he's definitely the top three quarterback ever to live I think Aaron Rodgers is the best football player who ever lived in the sense that he has more sway over the outcome of a game than anyone else who ever lived I'm looking at him and I'm just saying he's a bad man he could do it all when people say Aaron Rodgers is great they don't do him Justice he's historically great Rogers and he caps it off with a touchdown simply remarkable and that is what Aaron Rodgers is as a passer of the football now escaped try to run it throws across his body he's got it he's the greatest quarterback that I've ever seen he's the greatest most talented quarterback that I've ever seen with my two eyes Aaron Rodgers is legit he's can't throw the ball any better than that who does that better than Aaron Rodgers touchdown Green Bay best quarterback I've ever seen in my life not to mention the ability to make the big Pros the special throws [Applause] that is unbelievable unbelievable Aaron Rodgers going for the kill shot throws it up in the air says a prayer oh my God that may be one of the great throws ever made he turned 32 yesterday does he have a vintage moment in it for the middle oh touchdown Rogers Jordy Nelson touchdown Greenback and Rogers our MVP this is a great group of men and it's just great to be able to share with him yeah come on I'm kidding I'm kidding I'm kidding I'm kidding I can just run this up for sure for me please yeah you want me to place it like here it's okay if I stick it for you go for it yeah get out get on there yeah I can't say I haven't been dreaming about this you know once I realized this was not just a probability but an almost certainty you start to take your mind to all the different things that a new place has to offer the first time you walk in the building the first time you walk past the trophy the first time you meet some of the guys the first time you walk into the locker room first time you sit down for an interview deep down a lot of excitement a lot of gratitude not just for the journey of 18 years in Green Bay but for the opportunity now to continue playing and play for an iconic franchise again [Music] there's water okay on the table or is it I mean there's water on the table [Applause] the fact that we're here today is really a testament to what's been going on here and what the coach and the general manager and the staff has built over the last two years the culture that enabled us to attract somebody of the caliber that we're looking at right now Aaron Rodgers the Hall of Famer future Hall of Famer Aaron is a tremendous player he's an understatement and he makes everybody around him better and we're so happy to have him we are delighted and happy we couldn't be happier to have him as a New York Jet this is a surreal day for me after spending 18 years in the same city I'm here because I believe this I believe in this team I believe in kosala I believe in the direction of Joe Douglas and I'm excited about the new adventure here in New York so open up the questions now I just wanted to know your motivation to continue to play at this point obviously you said you were 90 retired which you went to the darkness Retreat to be a part of some specialist what keeps you coming back and I think this is this is building right now and what coach has done the last couple years he's building something special the right way we're going to make this thing uh start the hum I think I'm excited obviously Garrett had an incredible season you know I think that they've added some good pieces obviously Alan Lazard I'm partial to him I play with him for a number of years now I love him he's an incredible guy I'm excited about working with hack and seeing how he tailors his offense to the guys that we have what do you think that winning a championship for a New York franchise that hasn't won one in decades would do for your historical standing in the sport to be a part of something special would definitely help you go down in the history of organization I'll already have 18 years in an incredibly iconic organization and it'd be fun to be a part of the history of this one as well the passion you can feel I mean I felt it at the end of that game at Lambo last year there were obviously so many jets fans there and she realized how special that fan base is that they'll travel they'll show up I think that's an exciting draw to this as well as being a part of something special I grew up watching old VHS tapes of uh of the Super Bowls and so obviously I know about the guarantee and Broadway Joe I just have to trust that this is the path I'm supposed to be on and from the moment I got out of the darkness this was the science and synchronicities that were happening in my life was that this opportunity was going to be something really special I noticed walking in this morning that that Super Bowl 3 trophy is looking a little lonely so when I'm all in I'm all in and I wanted to be I want it to be a full FES honestly and and coming out of the darkness Retreat that I did and starting to get back into my workouts this opportunity came up this was really the only place I wanted to be I have a lot of respect for coastala and the way he goes about his business so this to me seemed like the best place to be for me and the only place ultimately because I feel like the pieces are in place to make a run uh you know to get another one of those trophies it's just about maturing as a group and taking the next step and the next step is is greatness it's it's not uh you know just getting into the playoffs or sneaking in or having a winning season it's uh it's doing what uh what I think what Woody thinks what Robert and Joe think is possible and that's putting together a really special run [Music] a picture is worth a thousand words the stories written on each face the journey to reach this point a moment in time in sports every season begins with a blank page [Music] after that will be etched in history but this story began long ago one thing tying it all together [Applause] [Music] you see this team is about all of us [Music] it unites us inspires us I remember years going to Shea stadiums a family especially for New Yorkers to bring us together and now hopefully we got a good chance this year it's weeb Curtis Rivas Island and the sac Exchange [Music] it's Broadway Joe behalf of the greatest city in the world paid tribute to the greatest football team in the world the New York it's unwavering loyalty a green and white conviction I just want to know I just won a Super Bowl we're going to the Super Bowl that's it guaranteed passion so here we are 2023 a new chapter [Music] so let's ride let's go [Music] at fan base they're desperate and so hungry for a winning team to go to the playoffs to get back in the Super Bowl conversation and so am I I mean that's why I'm here I'm here because I believe in the organization I Believe In Coach Salah I believe in Joe Douglas and the way that he's drafted I Believe In Coach Hackett with all my heart and I believe in this team these guys I mean these guys are talented guys you know like I said I'm not here to be some sort of Savior Messiah I'm just here to play great football to hopefully Inspire the guys to find ways to connect and increase the chemistry to help Foster an incredible culture and to give this fan base what

Felt so bad for Zach at the intro lol... Ends with them saying "gotta get a QB"

Edit: rich eisen!

This was cheesy as fuck.

More please.

I was sort of bummed when we traded Moore, but when they mentioned him in this I had completely forgot he existed and felt nothing

Funny seeing Mecole with that jet earring while with the Chiefs.

Also “Hey, I made the wall!

As always the production value on these is top notch.

I will say that for 45 minutes long, there really isn't a lot of new material. This feels like a 45 minute prologue more than anything. Of course thats probably because they focused on the Rodgers deal which was covered heavily by everyone. I enjoy these for the in depth, behind the scenes stuff.

Excited for episode 2 which should give us a good look at our draft picks and the war room.

I love these. Just make you want to run through a wall.

I'm imagining I'm Rodgers watching this and what that must feel like. Packers fans too.

[u/NYJ-misery]

Holy shit. Who’s ready to run through a wall
