Matt Rogers

Peter Schrager
It is the Dan Patrick show here on fox Sports Radio. LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here.
Matt Rogers
Well, wait, baby, let's go.
Peter Schrager
Now, we are normally in the time slot that precedes this. Two pros and a cup of Joe on Fox Sports Radio that you can hear Monday through Friday, 6 to 9 Eastern Time. But now it's 6 to 9 Pacific Time or 9 to noon Eastern Time.
Matt Rogers
I mean, Q's already had a whole entire day.
Peter Schrager
Oh, yeah.
Bowen Yang
Well, sort of. Oh, my day started. My day started about the day. What time your day usually starts today.
Matt Rogers
Baby boy. Man. Hey.
Bowen Yang
No, not him. Oh, another one gets sick. That was always a fun surprise. Yeah, it's like watching an old war movie where you're like, favorite characters are just getting clipped off one by one.
Matt Rogers
That's.
Bowen Yang
That's seriously what it was like. Another. You get a knock at the door. Door in the middle of the night. It's like, oh, no, not another one. Oh.
Matt Rogers
Oh, man.
Bowen Yang
Down goes slow.
Matt Rogers
No, no, slow.

No, seriously, why did I love that character? Survive the fittest around here.
Peter Schrager
I love that character.
Matt Rogers
Yeah. Why not me? All I deal with is Mr. Sticks creeping up on me while I try to sleep. Yeah, why?
Bowen Yang
It's me was letting you know if I have to hit the mute button and you don't hear from me for a minute, it's run its course through me.
Matt Rogers
Finally, we got you, brother.
Peter Schrager
Well, I know either way, we're going to be doing the show live here from the tirerack.com studios. Tirerack.com will help you get there. An unmatched selection, fast. Free shipping, free road has of protection at over 10,000 recommended installers. Tire rack.com the way tire buying should be.
Matt Rogers
Okay. Aaron Rogers needs some tires, huh?
Peter Schrager
Jeez, didn't he just redo his place in New York?
Matt Rogers
Hey, well, it'd be good for resale.
Peter Schrager
That's unfortunate.
Bowen Yang
I mean, I think when you're that rich. You can have multiple places.
Matt Rogers
I mean, why not? Right?
Bowen Yang
So it is a New Yorker Jersey. Wherever he's at, it's probably a good place to have one of those. One of those spots.
Peter Schrager
Yeah. It's official. The jets have announced that they have decided to move on from Aaron Rodgers head coach Aaron Glenn, GM Darren Mugi. They released a joint statement that they shared the intentions with Rogers when they met last week that they are moving on. Quote, it was important to have this discussion now to provide clarity and enable each of us the proper time to plan for our respective futures. We want to thank him for his leadership, passion and dedication he brought to the organization. We wish him success moving forward.
Matt Rogers
That's very nice. Yeah. Cordial and kind.
Peter Schrager
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
Amicable. Well, I'm.
Peter Schrager
I'm sure they'll. They'll have the right plan in place. They usually do in New York with the jets, so. Yeah.
Matt Rogers
Come on. Come on. Yeah. We are really, really hoping that everything works out for you, Aaron Rodgers. We really hope it works out for you, but, you know, it's just time to move on.
Peter Schrager
You want to know how bad they are at figuring out quarterback? I had almost forgot that Sam Darnold started his career there. That seems like an eternity ago.
Bowen Yang
Yeah, that wasn't that long ago.
Peter Schrager
2018, the Zach Wilson Experience, number one, Mike White mixed in there like a good ball player. Just all of it has been a disaster. So I don't have any confidence. I'll figure this out.
Bowen Yang
Let me ask you guys this. How will the Aaron Rodgers era in New York be remembered?
Peter Schrager
What's the highlight?
Bowen Yang
I think it's him getting, honestly.
Matt Rogers
Can I.
Bowen Yang
Can I give you what comes to mind when I hear that?
Peter Schrager
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
When he was running out of the tunnel with the flag.
Peter Schrager
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
That was like the highest moment at any point, I think, during this tenure for the Jets. If you think about it like, that was the moment where he was there. It was real. You had all this optimism. You were so excited. You finally had the final piece to go with this very talented roster and then ended like four plays in that game. But that was probably the height of the entire. Aaron Rodgers with the New York Jets. I don't want to call it experiment, but experience is really what it was.
Matt Rogers
I call it debacle. I just think that what. What everybody was anticipating and what everybody was expecting with the level of talent that you had on that team, I. I think that there was a high expectation. Well, we know there was a high expectation. It came from our show as well, you know, From. From certain. Certain. Very, very, you know, knowledgeable. Oh, yeah.
Bowen Yang
I'm always one of those. Go and say it. I was one of them and learn it.
Matt Rogers
No, no, I don't need to throw any names.
Bowen Yang
I'm just saying I'll give credit credibility for it.
Matt Rogers
I'll give credit where credit is due. We have some very intelligent minds on this show, and those minds felt very, very confident, very bullish about what the New York jets would be able to do. And Aaron Rodgers being the catalyst of that happening.
Peter Schrager
Mind or minds? Because I know Brady made the claim.
Matt Rogers
Mind. Plural. Minds.
Peter Schrager
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
So I had them. I had them winning the AFC East. I also had Buffalo as a playoff team, which, by the way, Lita Lapp, our executive producer, who's standing by somewhere, he. We've never done our season review, which we typically do by now. I'm not sure why we keep kicking it down the road. It's probably because Jonas had the Bengals and the Cowboys in the Super Bowl. I mean, I could at least say this. I did have one of the teams from my preseason picks make the Super Bowl.
Matt Rogers
Well, there you go.
Bowen Yang
There's that.
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
Peter Schrager
Do we want to bang those out today? Why not just ruin ourselves at some point?
Bowen Yang
We should at some point. But I think you. You've been pushing this off for a while for some reason.
Peter Schrager
Look, I mean.
Matt Rogers
I mean, did you get one team.
Peter Schrager
Man, in the playoffs? What do you mean?
Matt Rogers
I'm at the Super Bowl. Did you get any into the playoff?
Peter Schrager
I think I had the Calgary Flames winning the super bowl this year. My picks were awful, just awful. But, you know, we will address that discussion when we get to it. I was also bullish on the New York Jets.
Matt Rogers
Thank you. I'm glad you. I'm glad you owned it. I'm glad you're owning it because you're talking about plural or singular. I'm glad you're owning it. The point is there were and. And. And rightfully so, Right? Aaron Rodgers is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, one of the greatest football players of all time. No one will argue or debate that. I just think that when you look at. And just the way the stage was set, right? Tom Brady and what he was able to do in a Covid year and the situation being what it was, and him being one of the greats to ever do it, and he goes to a team that, you know, they needed help, they were missing something. They go win a Super bowl the very first year he gets there. And I think that set the tone for how it was going to be viewed for Aaron Rodgers going to such a talented roster of a team, and it did not. I mean, like, he got hurt. I mean, let's be clear. The first season, we could say what we want to say about how it all ended this past year, because that was, that was trash too. Shouts out to Bubba Dub. But his first year, he got injured and, and okay, that derailed what we thought we were going to see. So we'll never know what he, what it was going to be. Year one, he runs out with the flag. As y'all mentioned, it's a start of a new era. How does it all play out? We'll never know because he ended up getting injured not too far into the game. But this, this year, it, it kind of. It left a bad taste. If you're asking me, it left a bad taste in my mouth because how does that, how do you fall that far? How do you get that far from the success? Because you had drama in Green Bay, but you were still able to play with, with the puffy bottom and make plays and get MVPs and make it to this, the playoffs. You still played through the drama in Green Bay and that was everything. But what happened when he was in, in New York for this past season, it was just really bad. So it's disappointing.
Peter Schrager
It's just two people that weren't meant to be together, just a bad idea. Seem great in theory. It's like, it's like matching up two drug addicts.
Bowen Yang
Well, I mean, why do you have to go there, Jonas? Don't we have a, an example that's like.
Peter Schrager
No, I didn't. I really was, I mean, just right.
Bowen Yang
In our studio, in our room. Right? Yeah.
Peter Schrager
It really wasn't like that wasn't the plan there.
Matt Rogers
Not the day for that.
Bowen Yang
Not today. I'm not sure why you say that.
Matt Rogers
What do you mean, not the day? It's a day of love. How did yesterday play out going into Valentine's Day? What was the role play yesterday, Lee? Yesterday was just clean, old fashioned fun. There's no what's clean, old fashioned fun. There's nothing clean and old fashioned about your relationship. What was clean and old fashioned? Nothing fancy.
Peter Schrager
I'm leaving all the theatrics for today. Today's Valentine' Day.
Bowen Yang
Jonas, can you update our audience on what exactly Lavar and Lee are talking about?
Matt Rogers
Wow.
Peter Schrager
So for people that are not familiar with this show, Lee Dalap, our executive producer, is in the midst of complete and total chaos in his personal life. He's in and out on good terms and then bad terms in his current relationship with himself.
Matt Rogers
Yeah, he has a toxic relationship, not only with himself, but with the loved one that he tries to bring into the toxic relationship that he already has.
Peter Schrager
It's like an F3 tornado where you see stuff flying around inside of it.
Matt Rogers
You said you've been looking for a tornado.
Peter Schrager
I was, but you had one right in front of me and I didn't realize that he was here. And so flying Jonas.
Matt Rogers
Son of a bitch.
Peter Schrager
So finally, like flying around in the midst of this tornado is Lee's not only his relationship, but also, you know, his living arrangements. Living arrangements because his personal items now.
Matt Rogers
He'S the bums that live around him.
Peter Schrager
Staying in part time in a motel.
Matt Rogers
The. The couches that he's surfing on.
Peter Schrager
So to spice things up inside the motel, and it's, by the way, High End Motel. It's one of those ones that comes with a key with the room number on a plastic.
Matt Rogers
The logo looks like if you won at. On the slots.
Peter Schrager
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
In Vegas.
Peter Schrager
Like, if you want to know, like, what it's like to get into Lee's motel, it's like using the restroom at a gas station. They give you a squeegee with the. On the end of it. You go unlock a door that doesn't close all the way. And. And Lee decided, you know, why don't we spice things up a little bit? The Oscars are right around the corner. How about a little role play?
Matt Rogers
I'm going to role play that. I'm a John.
Peter Schrager
So the two. The two movies you do play, you do.
Matt Rogers
You do the math. I'm going to be a John.
Peter Schrager
The two movies they role played were Pretty Woman and Psycho. And we're not making that up. We are not making that up. So.
Matt Rogers
So we're trying to figure out what the movie people out there were trying to figure out what the movie was last night. So he tried to call it Driving Miss Daisy last night. Yeah, I. Don't bother.
Bowen Yang
All right, let's. Let's get it back on track. So basically, I wonder if they're going.
Matt Rogers
To go Amistad tomorrow.
Peter Schrager
7.
Bowen Yang
His significant other are the fairest comparison for maybe Aaron Rodgers and the Jets.
Matt Rogers
Oh, no.
Peter Schrager
Yeah, that's. That's fair.
Bowen Yang
I mean, think about it. I mean, look, Aaron Rodgers got hurt, had to go under the knife. Lee's clothes have gone under the knife. Taking a whacking, you know, Please face.
Matt Rogers
One under the knife, too.
Bowen Yang
Lee's been on ir. Aaron Rodgers was on ir.
Matt Rogers
Dang.
Bowen Yang
There's been a lot of hope and optimism at times that have only been squashed by despair and. And disbelief of the situation. Darkness, some would say leaks.
Matt Rogers
Yeah, this is good. This is good. Thanks to the organization.
Peter Schrager
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
You know, conversations. Conversations. Conversations and relationships taking place kind of sort of outside of the relationship, you know, happening backstabbings, the weight room debacle.
Peter Schrager
Literally. Dang. Yeah, there's a.
Matt Rogers
It happens.
Peter Schrager
Yeah. I mean, it doesn't, but, you know, in this case it does.
Matt Rogers
It doesn't, but in this case it did.
Peter Schrager
So now the, the conversation now turns to what's next? Because, I mean, who knows what the jets are going to.
Matt Rogers
What's more interesting, what's next with Aaron Rodgers or Lee.
Peter Schrager
Rogers?
Bowen Yang
I'm gonna say Rogers, just to get.
Matt Rogers
Back on real quick.
Bowen Yang
If this is your plan for the jets, and we heard the rumors or reports about the request to not do the Pat McAfee show, which I said earlier this week, technically it's illegal. You know, you can't have a coach ask you not to do something like a voluntary, you know, media session like that or even, hey, you have to be there for the off season. Well, okay, put in his contract as a workout bonus, but you can't make it mandatory that he goes to the voluntary OTA sessions. That's within the cba. That's been negotiated. Every time there's a collective bargaining agreement negotiation that comes up, that's always the opportunity for the owners to put in a contract, a workout bonus. Otherwise, it's kind of voluntary. Now, granted, as a quarterback, probably should be there, but they've got every right and they've bargained for it not to. So two things in which they asked them, a bit unfair.
Matt Rogers
Q. Can they. But it's not illegal for them to ask it. Right. It's illegal for them to exercise any type of disciplinary actions or any type of right.
Bowen Yang
Like there's nothing you can do.
Matt Rogers
Right.
Bowen Yang
You can ask them whatever you want in that regard, but there's nothing.
Matt Rogers
I'm just, I'm curious because, I mean, it's even asking, you know.
Bowen Yang
Well, I think the thought is it's not about them asking. It's about the mandating it. It's about them saying, if you're not going to be here for the off season, if you're not going to, you know, guarantee us that you're not going to do the Pat McAfee show and this, the other media opportunities, which I guess, reportedly they didn't have an issue with Joe Rogan. They just had an issue with Pat McAfee. So take that for what it's worth. Yeah, but if that was what it ultimately was about, like those things you can't mandate in order for him to be able to come back to fit within your plans. You can ask him not to, but he's got free range to do whatever he want in those two specific areas. So I guess it begs the question, now that we know they aren't going to be moving on with Aaron Rodgers, what is the plan in New York they're going to draft? If you're going to draft someone, is that the plan you're going to have is a Sam Darnold you're going to go back to? It seems rather unlikely given that you already drafted them in the first place and maybe moved on too soon or didn't prepare him with enough around him to allow him to be successful. So that's my first question is, is what do you do with the New York Jets? Are you basically throwing the towel already on 2025, or do you actually have a plan to go get a quarterback.
Matt Rogers
Who is the Bo Nix of this draft? Because if you don't have a Bo.
Bowen Yang
Nix in this draft, that guy would be in 2026. Yeah.
Matt Rogers
If he's not in this draft, then you got to find one in free agency. Otherwise you're wasting a pick and you're wasting your time. If you haven't been able to figure it out with someone like Aaron Rodgers or the draft picks that you've had prior to him, you'd have to assume that you got to find a guy that, that has that ability that goes along with the coaching staff, by the way. I mean, you got to have the coaching and they got to have the ability to utilize him. I mean, give Sean Payton and his staff all the credit in the world being able to figure out how to use Bo Nix the way that they did. But if you're not getting a Bo Nix in this, and I say Bo Nicks because I think that like a number one pick, a move up, get the top quarterback in the draft, I don't think it really works in any singular draft. You're not going to get that hit guy. I mean, it happened with C.J. stroud. I get it. Like, I feel like that was, that's, that's, that was, that's a, not a, that's a rare occurrence. You're, you, you're not going to have the type of time you need in New York. Their media market, their media are savages. They are straight savage and how they do coverage and how they, they, they are very relentless on, on their sports teams. I just don't know that if you bring in somebody that this is who it's supposed to be and it goes top pick and this, that and other. They aren't going to make it because they aren't going to have enough time. They are going to make it.
Peter Schrager
It's the Jets. Like, like we're, we're missing like a really key ingredient this whole thing. They can't be trusted. Like, really, like, and I've said this before, they're, they've got two legendary members of the organization. One of them wore pantyhose in a commercial and the other one had a foot fetish. Like, it's the Jets. You cannot trust them to make the right decision when they're saying we're moving on. Rogers is probably going sweet, okay, I'm sure you guys will have it all figured out. I have zero confidence that they'll get this thing together and it would not shock me if they were worse next year. And then are you going to blame Rogers like, like all of this whole discussion about, well, you know, they got to get rid of Rogers. They don't need this, this much, you know, distraction and dysfunction with the organization always there. Rogers called it out himself. It was like, we gotta get rid of the leaks and already they've got leaks with this report of, of demands they made to him. I zero confidence in that organization.
Bowen Yang
I, I don't disagree. I think to answer your question though, lavar, about who's the next Bonix. To me there's not a guy that fits the Bo Knicks description. Jonas throw out Jackson Dart's name and I'm, I'm a fan of him, don't get me wrong. But I don't know that any of these quarterbacks rank up within the top five of last year's. If you're looking at a prospect rank and how you look at them, I mean they're, they're not as experienced in some cases, I would say. You know, Cam Ward Shador had the best tape of any of the quarterbacks this year. Then Jackson Dart in my opinion. But you know, again, you're kind of looking at it going, all right, how does that compare to last year's class? Last year's class had some studs. I mean, you're talking about Jaden Daniels who's the offensive rookie of the year turned out that way. Michael Penix to me had the second best film of a quarterback last year. That just so happened he ended up in a situation where they signed cousins to a $90 million guaranteed deal. So he wasn't going to see the field right away until Cousins didn't perform well enough. So now it is his team. But you look at Bo Nix, a ton of experience. He was probably number three in regards to how well he played his final year at Oregon. And then Caleb Williams, if we're being real about ourselves, I mean, Caleb played fantastic.
Matt Rogers
He did not have this year as a rookie. It's just, it's crazy.
Bowen Yang
No, no, no. Here's the thing is you can't, here's the problem. You can't compare where they are now as rookies to what these prospects are. You have to go back and say, what did I think of these guys when they were coming out? Yeah, and that's what I'm saying is there's none of these guys, in my opinion, that have the amount of years right when you're looking at like a Jaden Daniels, Bo Nicks, a Michael Panicks, guys who went to multiple schools, played for five plus six years, in some cases, there's no one that really fits that mold or in Caleb Williams, a guy who was a very, very rare talent. Like when he burst on the scene at Oklahoma, you said, okay, this guy's special. And you knew he would win a Heisman at some point or have the chance to win a Heisman at some point because of that. So that's where, when I look at this class, it doesn't, at least based on what I saw in college, compare in that way. And so if you're picking number seven overall, I don't know how comfortable you feel with that. And then you look at the free agent class, you're probably going to either have Rogers, Cousins, Darnold, but again, you're the Jets. You can't go with Rogers. He's one of your own. You're just, you're releasing them. So you have to look at like who's out there. And it just, unless you make a trade, unless something falls through with Matt Stafford, it just, it feels like you're almost punting on 2025 and trying to set yourself up with the cap savings, which if It's a post June one, it'll be like 14 and a half million against this year's cap and the remainder of that would be against the 2026 cap. So that's in essence what they're doing by moving on.
Peter Schrager

But we also an update when it comes to the draft coming up. We mentioned quarterback prospects that are out there. Maybe one of the most fascinating and most talented prospects in the draft, Travis Hunter.
Matt Rogers
Oh, I thought she was going to say Abdul Carter, but okay, we could go with Travis.
Peter Schrager
He will be a star at the combine and he will be a star as a defensive back at the combine. That is the. The latest that has come out on that. So we will not get to see him, you know, run any routes with the wide receiver is just going to be out there.
Bowen Yang
Do we know that for sure? I mean, have they stated that he can't just go do routes with wide receivers?
Peter Schrager
Why, why wouldn't you let him if he wants?
Bowen Yang
That's what I'm saying is I don't think that they would Prohibit him from doing that. Just saying that they're going to consider him and he's going to be with a defensive back group that's probably more for just how he's going to go about the physical and mental testing and a lot of the weigh ins and everything else. Now I would argue that he to me seems to fit everything of being a lockdown corner or a top cornerback in the league. Given what I've seen now that doesn't mean he can't be an effective wide receiver, but I think just watching him, I think he's most naturally able to impact games as a cornerback first and then sprinkle him in on offense to provide depth there. I think if you, you couldn't really do it the other way around as easily. So I think that's what makes the most sense for him, at least at the NFL level.
Matt Rogers
Yeah, he's not going to be a two way player. Like what a true way two way player represents, like what he did in college. That's just not going to happen. I mean that's, that's the reality of it. It would take a perfect storm. You know what it would take, it would take Deion Sanders coaching at the pro level for him to be a true two way player to get that opportunity. That's just not how it works. So the worst thing that could possibly happen to a Travis Hunter is he not settle into what his home position is. You can use him on the other side of the ball, but if you try to, to like muddy those waters, I just don't think that that's good for his, his opportunities and his development to have true success at the next level. Like I, I, there's been some really, really talented guys that have played both ways and, and really have had the opportunity to play both ways at times at the pro level. But that's just not ideal. It's just not, that's, you know, to me I think this is the right decision. I mean the first, first time, first thing I think about is like a guy like who was a kick returner that was amazing. Went into the Hall. There you go, right. Devin Hester could have played pretty much any position skill wise on the football field, played wide receiver and it ultimately if you ask me, he was able to get into the Hall. He was so extraordinary as a, as an athlete and as a player. He was able to get into the hall of Fame. But it, it really kind of in a way did not allow for him to have the type of impact that he really could have had if he had just had a position and, and I don't, I know people will sit there and be like, well, that's what it was meant for. Da da, da. No, it really isn't. I can put him in there at times to run ending arounds and different things like that. But if that man can't really, really settle into what, you know, mastering the art of what it is he's doing at the position he's playing, I think you do that young man a disservice by, by spreading him thin like that.
Bowen Yang
It is a great point. As far as when there are players who are hard to put into a box as far as what they are, if a team, when they draft them, doesn't have a plan on how to use that player and it could be a guy. For example, we see a lot of times we call them move tight ends, guys who are not your traditional put their hand down in the dirt who are your traditional wide tight end that's going to be blocking in the run game, maybe some pass pro2 and probably going to some in the passing game. But they're not that like dynamic mismatch type player. So you find this other guy who, yeah, he's probably on the backside of the run, you know, being cut off, or maybe he's blocking more down in the secondary, but he's split out at times as a wide receiver or he's in the backfield, maybe off the ball as more of a fullback type. Sometimes teams end up kind of losing sight of the skills of that player. And it could be the offensive system, it could be a lot of things, but they end up not really finding that role or understanding how to utilize that talent, the skill as best as possible. And I'd say the other thing for Travis Hunter and the reason why I would put him at cornerback as opposed to wide receiver is as far as his long term projection for his career, because I do think he's a supremely talented individual. I think he's, he's. His best path to a gold jacket is on defense. And this is why you have so many less variables to impact your play as a cornerback versus a wide receiver. All right, so again, let's go back to the initial comment. You've got an offensive system to deal with. You could have a crappy offensive system where you have a bad play caller or maybe a young play caller who's inexperienced. That's going to impact on how they go about getting you the football. You could have a poor offensive line that obviously plays an impact on how you go about getting the football, you could have core quarterback play that's also going to impact how you go about getting the football. So, right, there are three ways in which your play is immediately going to be impacted. And as a quarterback, if you're a man to man coverage, if you got skills like him, the speed, the, you know, the ability, the agility too, and obviously the football IQ to pattern match, understand all those things, understand splits and, and kind of the tendencies of guys. And you could be physical, the line of scrimmage, like you can lock down your guy. And that's not saying that you can't be put in a bad position from time to time by your defensive coordinator or some of the calls or, or, you know, maybe there's different zone coverage or different combo coverages where something gets messed up, but for the most part, like, if you do your job like you're on your way to being a potential hall of Fame player and that's.
Matt Rogers
What should matter, right? Being the best player that you can be at the position that you play, you could have the capabilities. I mean, most guys have played both ways at some point in time in their career if they were really truly gifted and talented. But I think what you just said, your last point is what to me is most relevant. You want to go into a scenario where you have the opportunity to have the type of success at the position that you play, where you impact your team, you impact your career in a way where you're remembered for the greatness that you brought to the table. And I think that that would be almost impossible to do if you were a true two way player. I just think it's impossible. Like I, I mean, anything is possible, but I think that's, that's as close, that's one of those things. It's as close to impossible as it gets to literally use him. If we were to take the, the plays, the plays that he did at Colorado, and those are the plays that, the amount that he does, that's his workload in the, in the league, he might be done in the league in two, three years.
Peter Schrager
See, when Devin Hester was at Miami, he was a DB and you know, played sparingly there, but then, you know, he was really a returner and that's where he got drafted. Then he became a star as a returner in the NFL and then the Bears, to kind of justify, you know, the contract and wanting to get the ball in his hands more, they threw him at wide receiver and he had a little bit of success. His numbers weren't terrible, but he wasn't a true wide receiver. If you're Travis Hunter, like, that's gotta be an enticing prospect, though. If you are an offensive coordinator, like, say he ends up in Cleveland, like, you mean Kevin Stefanski's not, like, I don't know, let's try him a few plays a game. Like, I don't know that they would want to pass on the opportunity to potentially get the ball in this guy's hands. If he's that talented. It wouldn't be that he would do a full split like he wouldn't in college, but it just feels like there's going to be some guys out there that look at him and go, listen, we know he's a great defensive back, but wouldn't you want to just from entertainment standpoint, like, I would love to see him get a few snaps on offense every single game. Like, and I don't know.
Matt Rogers
And I don't think that's a problem. Yeah, I don't think there's any problem with that.
Bowen Yang
Here's, here's the biggest issue with that, though, is if he's on the field, you're assuming he's going to be getting the football because you're not going to waste snaps of him or reps of him being on the field, and you're not going to target him or try to get him the ball in the reverse or a fly sweep or something like, you know, wide receiver screen, something that gets in his hands quick or take a shot downfield. So that's part of the issue is how do you go about disguising that when he is in the game, he's not going to be the intended target or it's not going to be a guaranteed touch, which is, again, when you start looking at snap count counts, how you can get a guy who's, you know, playing a bunch of snaps in college and then threw a bunch of snaps at the NFL in 17 games, potentially 18 games. You know, as we realistically have to look at that being the reality of the NFL in the future, it's gonna be really hard to try to manage that and say, this, this guy's gonna be playing over 100 and some snaps, depending on how much you play him on offense as well as defense.
Peter Schrager
Does he need to go to the combine? Does he need to be there?
Matt Rogers
Yes.
Peter Schrager
You think so?
Bowen Yang
Oh, I don't think he does.
Matt Rogers
It's a networking. It's a networking opportunity.
Peter Schrager
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
I mean, what are you saying? To perform? If you're saying, does he need to test? No, but he needs to be there to talk to people.
Peter Schrager
I, I asked the question because if he's going to the combine, it's for entertainment purposes only. Like so if that's the case, I'm sure if he's performing NFL Network, can.
Matt Rogers
You specify if he's performing at the the combine? It's purely for entertainment.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Peter Schrager
There's no need for him to be there. That's like, like talk to people.
Matt Rogers
Okay.
Bowen Yang
Okay. Yeah. Here's what you have to understand. There is a need for him to be there from a interview and medical standpoint.
Matt Rogers
Correct.
Bowen Yang
As far as if he's going to actually do drills, do testing.
Matt Rogers
That's entertaining.
Bowen Yang
No, that's, that's entertaining but like the true origin of, or I guess genesis of why the combine was created was for medical and interviews.
Matt Rogers
Correct. Threat. They want to know.
Bowen Yang
That's why he needs to be there. That's why he has to go. But as far as testing and everything else, no, that's all just for TV stuff.
Matt Rogers
So they'll bring players like, they'll bring like leaders of their locker room players on the team and they'll sit in on the meetings. They're judging and, and weighing, measuring. If this guy will integrate into our locker room correctly. How does he fit in terms of our culture? That really has been honestly a major maybe underline or behind the scenes tale of the tape for a lot prospects that are high guys high on the list of guys you would want to take and you're like, how did that guy slip to this number? It's not cuz anything that had to do with him on the field and his talent.
Peter Schrager
I'm sure they would love for him to participate in the wide receiver drills as well. Like just from an enter. Just if it's about, you know, listen, the medical's clear. He, you know, he passes his test. All that's good. Yeah, we'd love to see him in that grouping.
Matt Rogers
The kid has built a very, very intriguing, strong brand. I mean from the controversies of his personal life, which I always felt was a tad bit inappropriate, but you know, these days there's nothing mercies. Well, you know what? I don't. You're not going to drag me into it. I've not gotten involved in it since it's happened. That man's personal business is his personal business. I, I would, I would ultimately say though a lot of that. The, the co. Mingling of an athlete, of a figure such as him who has accomplished at the level he's accomplished and won The Heisman Trophy. I mean, he is the most decorated or, or most. Most well known of all the players this year. Even impossible. Re recent history, the. The kid has handled things in a way where I feel like he's been everything you would want a guy to be. You know, he, he's catching heat for being a good dude to a, to a woman, to, to his girlfriend. Like, you're catching heat for that. Like they're attacking her. And he's, he's having to handle all of that and shoulder all of that. And I felt like he did a great job of it. He created his own podcast. There is a lot of equity that has been built up in his brand. So if that, you see him, of course it's going to bring more attention to what's going on. If they're saying, oh, oh, Travis Hunter decides that he's going to go over with the receivers and do wide receiver drills, of course that's going to bring more eyeballs and more attention to what's going on at the draft, at the, the combine.
Peter Schrager
Whatever's happening in his relationship, his personal life, I'm not familiar with, it ain't.
Matt Rogers
Worse than Lee, I'll tell you that.
Peter Schrager
Well, listen, I mean, I, I believe that, you know, he and she, they're both keepers. And speaking of which, Keeper's Heart is a new and unique style of whiskey that combines the best of Irish and American whiskey, creating the smooth character of Irish whiskey and the bold Flav American whiskeys. If you're a whiskey fan, you've got to try it. Drink responsibly.
Bowen Yang
Combines or combines. Yeah, I know. I noticed what you did there. Talking about the NFL combine, you got out of the combines. It was nice. Nice. He's kind of slipped it in there. Well, it worked out well.
Peter Schrager

Peter Schrager
Hey, Brady.
Matt Rogers
Good to see you, buddy. Guys, in case you missed it, you often hear about running running backs and quarterbacks gifting their offensive lineman something for Christmas.
Peter Schrager
Sometimes a trick tricked out golf cart.
Matt Rogers
Something of the sorts.
Peter Schrager
Well, after the super bowl win, Saquon Barkley's decided to gift his offensive lineman each a truckload of Bud Light.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Peter Schrager
Filled with a pallet of Bud Light ahead of their parade that's going on today.
Bowen Yang
You'll probably see all five of those trucks. I would have picked a different beer, but. No, that's awesome. That is as cool of a gift as a kids, man. It's awesome.
Peter Schrager
Man, that is something. What a what a big spender that guy is for that 13 million he gets a year. Jeez, what's next, a do?
Matt Rogers
Oh, come on, man.
Peter Schrager
What's next, a Dollar Tree gift card?
Matt Rogers
That'll be $10, man.
Bowen Yang
Are you for real?
Matt Rogers
That'll be $10, bro.
Bowen Yang
Jonas, how does that upset you? I mean, you're as cheap as it gets. A whole truckload of beer.
Peter Schrager
It's ridiculous.
Matt Rogers
Me should have been two truckloads.
Bowen Yang
I thought you were going to have an issue with it being Bud Light versus, like some IPA that like, you like. You're kind of hipster.
Matt Rogers
Which is the one that that Kid Rock didn't like.
Peter Schrager
Well, he didn't like Bud Light.
Matt Rogers
It was. But like, is that the one? Was that the one that he went outside and he shot him? Yeah.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
Okay.
Peter Schrager
Hey, my, my guy, Shane Gillis.
Matt Rogers
So that's, I mean, so it's a good bounce back, you know?
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
I mean, now you put Saquon out there. Saquon bought the truck. There you go. Boom.
Peter Schrager
Like truckload of Bud Light. Guarantee that's a tax write off.
Matt Rogers
Dang, Jonas. All right.
Peter Schrager
Damn pen steak, guys, man.
Matt Rogers
All right, what else you got, Lee? Moving on. Well, guys, in case you missed this, in a joint interview with people, Tyreek Hill and Noah Lyles said they have.
Peter Schrager
Agreed to race each other, though they haven't given a date, location, or distance.
Matt Rogers
For the race yet.
Bowen Yang
Oh, no.
Matt Rogers
Sweet Tyreek Jon, blow his God dang legs out.
Bowen Yang
I was just gonna say this is not good.
Matt Rogers
It's not good, not good.
Bowen Yang
I mean, think about this. Do you remember when that track athlete at Iowa ran a 40 yard dash in the stadium in Kinnick and ran like a 415 or whatever it was? It's like, dude, no disrespect to that young man. He's. He could be fantastic. Noah Lyles has been the fastest man in the world of times, I would imagine, at least in the 100 meters. Like, I would imagine no Lyles would be able to put up a very similar 4.1or gosh, like 4.0, whatever, potentially. Is that overstating that, Lavar, I couldn't.
Matt Rogers
Hear you just then say it one more time.
Bowen Yang
No, I'm saying like 4.1, maybe even under that. Is that possible for. No allows.
Matt Rogers
It's possible. It's possible that, that I. I don't know that we better. I, I recall like, didn't you saying bolt run like a crazy time and like his street clothes, he just walked in, ran a 40 yard dash and it was like something crazy, crazy, crazy low.
Bowen Yang
So four, two, two.
Matt Rogers
Okay, that. I mean, I think if they really wanted to, they could probably break the 4 second barrier. I really do think they.
Peter Schrager
That guy at Iowa is Kaylin Walker.
Matt Rogers
And he was running. Running.
Peter Schrager
I got to do a little bit of research on this. In the meantime.
Bowen Yang
Top Gun, that thing.
Peter Schrager
We're taking over the DB position with speed.
Matt Rogers
I mean, y'all had a baller in the super bowl this year. He should put six up for y'all.
Bowen Yang

Matt Rogers
As well he should. Yeah. There you go. Throw it up.

Release Date: February 14, 2025
Host/Authors: LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox
Description: In this episode, the hosts delve deep into the recent departure of Aaron Rodgers from the New York Jets, analyze the implications for the franchise, and shift focus to emerging draft prospects, particularly Travis Hunter. The discussion is enriched with expert insights, humorous takes, and thoughtful analysis.
Timestamp: [05:09]
Peter Schrager kicks off the discussion by announcing the New York Jets' decision to part ways with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, head coach Aaron Glenn, and GM Darren Mugi. He reads the Jets' joint statement:
“It was important to have this discussion now to provide clarity and enable each of us the proper time to plan for our respective futures. We want to thank him for his leadership, passion, and dedication he brought to the organization. We wish him success moving forward.”
— Peter Schrager [05:09]
Timestamp: [05:41]
Matt Rogers remarks on the professionalism of the departure:
“That's very nice. Yeah. Cordial and kind.”
— Matt Rogers [05:41]
Timestamp: [06:14]
Peter Schrager criticizes the Jets' track record in quarterback management:
“How bad they are at figuring out quarterback? I had almost forgot that Sam Darnold started his career there. That seems like an eternity ago.”
— Peter Schrager [06:14]
Timestamp: [07:19]
Bowen Yang ponders the legacy of Rodgers' tenure with a memorable moment:
“When he was running out of the tunnel with the flag. That was like the highest moment at any point, I think, during this tenure for the Jets.”
— Bowen Yang [07:19]
Timestamp: [07:53]
Matt Rogers labels the Jets' experience with Rodgers as a disappointment:
“I'll call it a debacle. I just think that what everybody was anticipating and what everybody was expecting with the level of talent that you had on that team... It did not.”
— Matt Rogers [07:53]
Timestamp: [16:40]
Bowen Yang discusses contractual nuances affecting Rodgers' departure:
“It's not about them asking. It's about mandating it. They can't mandate participation in voluntary media sessions... which they have the right not to.”
— Bowen Yang [16:40]
Timestamp: [18:06]
Matt Rogers questions the Jets' strategy moving forward without Rodgers:
“Who is the Bo Nix of this draft? Because if you don't have a Bo Nix in this draft, that guy would be in 2026.”
— Matt Rogers [18:06]
