Follow and listen to Cash the Ticket on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. We need as players to take accountability for what's happened. I think that's the thing that hits you too in the moment is if I played better on Sunday, this doesn't happen. And as somebody who takes a lot of pride in their performance, that was the main sentiment for me yesterday. That's Aaron Rodgers on the Pat McAfee show earlier today. Welcome back. Grant and Danny on the fan. I thought Rodgers said all of the right things. I've been watched that interview. You heard him there. Take some ownership on his play and not being good enough being part of the reason why Robert Sallow was fired. The Jets this weekend play the Buffalo Bills. They're two and three buffaloes three and two. If New York beats Buffalo, they're in first place by way of the tiebreaker. So they have lost too straight, but they started two and one, wins over the Titans and the Patriots. Very unimpressive two and one, but losses to Denver in the rain 10 to nine and then the Vikings 23 17 consecutive bad games for Rodgers. All they got to do as they've now installed Jeff Ulbrick, the defensive coordinators, their interim head coach, Danny, is find a way to be Buffalo in their first place. Yeah. Buffalo is not the same team they were the first couple of weeks of the season, right, where they looked really, really good a couple of times now. They've lost too straight by 25 points to the Ravens and then by a field goal to the Texan. Yeah. So the things that I thought were going to happen early this season, the offense scuffling a little bit and Josh Allen happened to play superhero have happened now, right? Whether they're all of a sudden, not the same group they were. And that's obvious when they scored 34, 31 or 47 over the course of the first three games, there's a regression happening. So again, if there's a time to play Buffalo, it's probably right now this minute. So it just shows you how razor thin the margin is, right? As, and we talked about this. Oh my God, they're two and three. This is so bad. Well, van Rogers hits Garrett Wilson, who has beaten his defender like a statue for a easy walk in touchdown. We're talking about a three and two team and everyone's got great feelings, right at this point. But of course, it's not what happened. The margin is that thin. We're now a seller's out of a job and Rogers has to give comment about it. Yeah, and I don't know that the fix is necessarily coming because the problems, the offense, and I don't know that there's a major change looming. Supposedly Nathaniel Hackett was relieved of play calling duties the morning that Robert Salah was fired by Robert Salah. But the moment Salah got fired right after that he got his duties back. Now, old brick is not commented on that. It's possible. And he and Salah kind of agreed on Hackett and maybe he names Todd down and was their passing in coordinator, the play caller, and there's a change anyway. But Rogers sounded like he was going to play nice on Mac if he said whatever old brick wants to do. I'm here to do. I'm a team guy. If he wants to make changes, he should make changes. We need to win football games. But I don't know if it's that easy behind the scenes. This is what Rogers had to say about the notion that he was involved in getting Robert Salah fired this week. As far as any of the ridiculous allegations out there, I'm not going to spend more than one sentence in response to it. And that is that I resent any of those accusations because they're patently false. And it's interesting the amount of power that people think that I have, which I don't. But I love Robert and it was, you know, one of those days yesterday. I agree with part of what he just said, which is I think that people believe that he has more power than he does. I think the perception on the outside is that everything that they do is Rogers's decision. And I think it's way less like that than people assume. That said, I think they fired Robert Salah. And I think his relationship with Salah was probably a major factor. Yeah, I don't think it's as simple as you know, phone rings. Hey, Aaron, it's Woody. What do you want to do tomorrow? You want to follow up? Want to fire Robert Salah? Okay. Thanks. See you practice. He admitted that he talked to the owner the night before Salah was fired. Do you think he advocated for the firing of Salah? Yes. I 100% do. I think his opinion was taken in. I think his viewpoints are known whether he said fire this man tomorrow or not. That's where I'm going. I don't think he verbalized that or said anything like we need to fire him. We need to go to brick. Old brick is what they call him, brick. I think it was honestly just a what do Johnson knows this guy does not like him very much. Like what's your opinion? And he gave it, you know, instead of saying we're it's getting better. We're about to turn the corner. He's like, this ain't working. This is not sustainable. And you know, probably knew what he was doing. I think Rogers is nothing but calculated when it comes to these sorts of things. So I'm sure he has possible liability or like word. Did you say Robert Salah should be fired? He gets to say no. And he's probably right. He probably never said those exact words, but he also didn't didn't go. It's you can't you can't do it. You can't get rid of him. We're going to make beautiful music together. That's my guy. You didn't you know what I mean? Like to me, he has a ton of power even if he's not the person that's like standing at the podium with the decision being made.
