Nothing can get by ’em, turn it on and try ’em!
Chris Russo hosted his old partner Mike Francesa on SiriusXM on Thursday for a “Mike and the Mad Dog” reunion, and bemoaned the noise around the Jets, speaking derisively about cornerback D.J. Reed comparing their defense to the ’85 Bears.
“It’s hard to like them. They never shut up,” Francesa said.
“Not only that, you watch ‘Hard Knocks’, which I have to admit I did because of [Aaron] Rodgers, and it was so rehearsed it was ridiculous.
“Plus, do I need to see Rodgers talking about UFOs?”
Francesa also has not been impressed with head coach Robert Saleh.
“But here’s the thing — I love when Saleh gets in there and says, ‘Hey you made the team you’re one of us’ What does ‘one of us’ mean?” Francesa asked.
“The Jets are 11-23 under Saleh. What does that mean? The Jets act like, ‘Wait a second, erase our past, we’re a championship team. We’re the Patriots. We’re the Chiefs.’ Wait a second! You guys have been awful. You’ve been terrible…
“Yes, you have an all-time quarterback. He’s a legendary quarterback. He’s one of the best quarterbacks ever. Yes. But the rest of the team has never won anything!”
Francesa wrapped up his rant by warning the Jets not to get off to a slow start.
“They are 11-23 under Saleh,” Francesa reiterated.
“Let’s get real here. Stop talking about defense. We’re this. We’re that. Be quiet. And now with that schedule they can’t sneak up on anybody, and everybody is out to get them. This is not good.
“I thought ‘Hard Knocks’ was a huge mistake. Evidently they couldn’t get out of it. But they need to tone it down. And if they get off to a bad start? The world is gonna pound them to death.”
Francesa acknowledged that the Jets have a great defense, but worried about the strength of the AFC East and the coaching staff with Saleh and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, opining that Hackett should get out of the way and let Rodgers call the plays.
