Clearly Christopher Maddog Russo, Amber Wilson looking beautiful. Great to have you. Harry Douglas. Sam Ocho is going to be here and others. UFC star Sean O'Malley fighting for the belt. He'll be here and Stephen A is on the show today. Oh, is he really is on the show? Make that decision. I'm going to get a total decision somehow. I mean at this point you might be here more.

But not quite. Yeah, he's going to go one-on-one with boxing champ Dremel Charlo. So that's going to be a lot of fun. Thanks for being here, guys. Good to be here. We ready. Harry, Amber. Yeah. We've awesome to be here right now. Let's see how this goes. There you go. So excited. Absolutely. All right. We started the city that never sleeps. So the jets acquire another playmaker for Aaron Rogers and their new prolific offense. Dalvin Cook is signing a one-year deal with New York free agent running that deal is worth up to 8.6 million. So it's turned 28 last week. Was released June 8th.

After four straight, probable seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, however, on the latest episode of Heart Knocks, Robert Salah had some strong words for his own life. It was our first opportunity to change the stink that's been in this organization for a very long time on the offensive side of the ball. You can have a Hall of Fame quarterback. You can have two 10 million dollar plus receivers. You can have a reigning offensive rookie of the year. You can have all kinds of skill in the running back room. None of it matter.

You can have a couple of hours into the big boys up front. Change who the we are. We as coaches, we as an organization can't want it more than you. And I'm watching that tape all night last night trying to find something to show that we're changing and it didn't show.

You can have a lot of power out in front of your peers or whatnot. That's not good. But also, it could light a fire in you. And it's a sense of pride thing that you gotta have. And I love some of the things that he touched on because you can have the Ferrari. You can have the Lamborghini. You can have the Bentley. But if the engine isn't in any of those cars, how's it going to be able to go? The offensive line is the engine. When I look at the green, excuse me, the New York Jets and their offense and what they want to do. That's been the Killie's Hill, the dark cloud for this team since acquiring air and Rogers.

And when you look at this group, that group has to set the tone whenever they play a game, whenever their practices, everything starts on an offensive line, everything starts on the defensive line, everything starts in the trenches. And when you look at offense and the reason why it's so much different from the defensive side of the balls, because defensively, you can have two or three guys mess up in the place still be successful. Offensively, you can have one guy mess up and 10 guys do their job in the play as derailed to understand a lot of what Robert Salah is saying right there in that

clip before this organization for this team to be able to push towards what they want to accomplish. Doesn't matter if you have air Rogers. Doesn't matter if you just signed Dalvin Cook. If you can't block up front, passing the football and pass protection and running the football, none of the new tours that they have offensively are going to matter.

100% listen to me. This is pure theater from Salah. Dwayne Brown hasn't practiced or done anything yet. A Beckham's coming back with two major knee injuries. They obviously must have not blighted and see it, but they obviously must have not blocked well against Carol on this past week. I'm not going to make a big deal. He's got the TV cameras in the house, hard knocks.

What do you mean pure theater? That's not really him. You run through a wall for that man. You know what the jet. The jets went through a wall through a mesh when they lost six straight games at the end of the year and they were four and seven. They did the defense went through a wall with them late in the Kansas City Super Bowl a couple of years ago.

When Sherman didn't pay attention and my homes made that big play down the field to Hill and achieve speed San Francisco. So it's so solid goes out there and wins a few out of the body. That but I'm a solid fan. Yeah. But this is all theatrical what better way to send a message to what is not a great offensive line to begin with. That's all banged up. Then two hard knocks on television. Yeah. The four of us are screaming and yelling. So I'm not making a big deal about it myself. And here's the problem. I'll even air Rogers needs an old line. Right.

As read as Aaron Rogers is. And this is the weakness for the New York Jets. But it doesn't matter how much solid tries to motivate his line because this isn't a motivation issue. This is a broken issue. This is an old issue. Dwayne Brown is 38 years old coming off of that surgically repaired shoulder. You just mentioned the injuries to beckton. How are you going to motivate a broken line. Right. How are you going to get guys that are past their prime to play harder because you say some cool things on hard knocks. I'm totally with you know. It's it's motivating. It's it's how can you

not say this team is motivated. They've got Aaron Rogers. Look at all the talent that they brought in. He took 35 million less to get parts around him. I mean, it feels like the resurgence of the New York Jets. No, it's not that they're not motivated. It's that you can't the motivation isn't the problem with the line. It's the breeze. It's the age. That's the problem. I don't think is the actual the. What was the actual theatrical there you go. Mad Dog. I actually this actually happens in meeting rooms and team meeting rooms where the head coach stands up there and he calls out.

Players and I think it's the the ultimate thing to do as a head coach because one thing you don't want to do a sugarcoat things and not tell your players the truth. You don't want them to believe one thing and your team is one way when it really isn't. So the best way I think to send a message. Not just to your team. In that team meeting room, but you're also doing this in front of the world. And I'm not I'm not I can't sit up here and say he's just doing this for show for the cameras for hard knocks. This these are types of conversations that happen.

There's a team meeting rooms across the National Football League and I thought it was just good by Robert Salah because in the first episode of Heart Knocks We Seen. It was all how much we love air Rogers. But then sometimes reality sinks in and things get real and in episode two. It's about that off into line and what they could be. And what what they're trying to change and what everybody's mindset is of the New York Jets from the past. He's trying to move on from the old Jets and what the off into line with this offense was or wasn't I should say.

To a new regime and when I mean by a new regime a new regime under Aaron Rogers being that guy at the him. But it doesn't matter if you have that guy. If you can't protect him. Doesn't matter what kind of weapons you have. If you can't protect them. So I thought it was a great message for Robert Salah to to send towards his offensive line. Not just in front of everybody on that roster, but also in front of the entire world for them to see it as well. So with that being said, are you not buying this jet squad to go the distance because of the online. I picked them to win the division.

What? So you went into the vision. You get into the playoffs. You have a you have an opportunity. I'm concerned about them. But it's just I picked this team to win a division. They're going to have their kings. They have to iron out early. Just because it's a lot of nuances on that offense and it's a great division. When we're talking my great division. I don't know if Robert Salah is a great coach that O line has real problems. And again, I don't think that that's the coaching issue. I think that's an age issue. I think that's an injury issue on that O line and even Dalvin Cook and Aaron Rogers need an O line there. Yes, they have a ton of weapons on this jet squad.

It was a seven win team last season. And now they have super bowl expectations. I think everything about this Jets team is theatrical, by the way. I mean, Aaron Rogers, handing back $35 million. I think was a bit theatrical. Okay. He was not willing to do that in Green Bay. All of this sudden, he's super team guy. Like, where was that? When Devonte Adams wanted to stay on your team and wanted more money. Everything feels a bit calculated with this New York Jets team. The expectations are there. They are loaded on talent. I will give them that, but they are in a stack division and a stack.

One of the things too. Robert, you're a part of the culture. It's not your first year. You've been here for two years. Two years ago, they were napped. Last year, they lost their last, whatever it was, seven, six in a row. You were there when they drafted Zach Wilson. So to make it sound like that this is the old Joe Walton rich co-type Jets is a little shaky because he has been here for two years. You think he suspect as a coach? He hasn't proved anything yet. Yeah. What is he doing? He's been there two years.

Well, but he made it sound like I'm sick. You know, we're trying to change the culture of the team. I don't know. You're part of the culture. You were there for two seasons. Yeah, but he was there for two years. He's inherent a lot of those players. It's not like he didn't drafting a lot of those players. Look at the quarterback play, though. The team had incompetent quarterback. He drafted Westack Wilson with the number of things that he drafted. There's an owner and there's a GM. There's an owner. He had something to do with it. They're not going to draft the quarterback for Osala without not him passing off. I don't know. A brand new head coach.

I don't know how much the coach has input. But he was right there one year, but I will say, but I will say, the owner of the quarterback got in fourth the way that situation went. Mike White was in the

Ander Zach Wilson was in the end, but let's keep going back and forth, not giving Zach Wilson an opportunity to even try to develop. Yeah, that's all on Robert Sala. All right, before we move on, I got to ask you this quickly. Should the Jets have signed Alvin Cook? I say no. I know how good he is. He's got so much baggage. So much. Oh, you know, he was. Oh, my God.

I'm not going to go. I'm not going to get into it. There was a lot of baggage with this guy. Nobody else wanted him. And, you know, the Vikings didn't. The Vikings let him go. My hand me the inside.
