Jets-49ers takeaways: CMC's surprise scratch, Jordan Mason emerges | Dan Patrick Show | NBC Sports

watching the Jets last night Prime Time games it's you know we do overreact to Prime Time because we all collectively are watching a game then we all collectively have an opinion and with the Jets last night Aaron roders didn't look good never got settled in he threw for under 170 yards Bree Hall averaged less than three and a half yards per G uh carry Garrett Wilson looked good in the first half shut down in the second half and then all of a sudden a guy named Jordan Mason comes in for Christian mcaffrey and look like Christian mcaffrey it's one game yes it's Aaron Rogers coming back he's 40 years of age I expect that defense to be formidable and you have Bree Hall and Garrett Wilson who are you know they can change a game and uh do I still think that they're going to be a playoff team Yes I Do by the way the over under with wins after the loss by the Jets according to DraftKings the over under for the Jets wins is n and a half but I will say this odds to win comeback Player of the Year Aaron roders is the big winner so far followed by Joe burrow Anthony Richardson Sam darnold and Kurt Cousins what did Sam darnold come back from obscurity averess that's weird and uh Jim Harbaugh I'm sure will be thrilled to know that odds to win coach of the year he's the favorite right now followed closely by Matt Eber flu Mike McDonald of Seattle and then Gerard Mayo after the Patriots had their big win and Kevin okono after the Vikings had their big win Satan what's the poll question we're going to go with today at least the first hour you know if we started going with biggest overreaction right now Sam darnold might win because he's on his way to becoming a Hall of Famer well maybe a Pro Bowl quarterback I think Marvin said that he would be the starter in the Pro Bowl that was our hot take and I meant that yeah of course you did they the Giants going right to Canton every every week yeah yeah every week all right so what's poll question first hour uh well we could start off with one here from Todd Aaron Rogers and the Jets are dot dot dot going to be just fine it's one game on the road versus a great team or in big trouble they didn't have the ball enough but give credit to San Francisco their offensive and defensive lines were wonderful and uh you know Brock pie didn't do much didn't have to do much Jordan Mason undrafted or uh a third-year player but uh free agent so you have the highest paid running back not playing and then you have the cheapest running back in the NFL and once again you don't want to say players like Christen mcaffrey are interchangeable just saying with a really good offensive line and a few other weapons to focus on he was able to have a game now here's the here's the thing that was tricky for me last night if I'm a gambler when is Christian mcaffrey ruled out of this game so right before kickoff 30 minutes before all of a sudden Mothership comes on the air and and it was an O by the way like I was really surprised at how Joe and Troy came on the air and then it was they got around to Christian mcaffrey isn't playing that should have been the first thing we saw was Jordan Mason and you even say to your audience why are we showing you Jordan Mason he's starting for Christian mcaffrey that should have been the first thing not it's a glorious night in the bay and I don't care this is about news that was breaking now that's also the tricky part did we know should we have known Friday or maybe Saturday Christian mcaffry wasn't playing when did the ners know that Christen mcaffrey was not going to play now I know it doesn't sound like a big deal but fantasy owners also gamblers you need to know this is full transparency and that became a little tricky because Kyle Shanahan the ners head coach was asked this question Jordan said after the game that he was told on Friday night he was going to start when did Christian start feeling AR I never told Jordan he was going to start um told him he had to be ready a bunch but that might have been Bobby or somebody trying to pump him him up but uh I knew he was going to have to play a lot uh told him that he was going to have to wasn't going to be like usual um he was going to be a number two back that was split a lot of the time um but now he didn't know he for sure was doing that till today okay Jordan M Mason rushed for 147 yards in the win the most rushing yards by an undrafted player since Austin Eckler a couple years ago had 173 yards but you know you're watching this happened right in front of you and then all of a sudden we're like who's Jordan Mason and how long is Christian mcaffrey going to be out you know there were I I'd seen an update on Friday that mcaffrey was still bothered you know that calf injury uh and it' been lingering in I guess preseason and all of a sudden you're just going wait a minute what's going on here and then they eventually get into the story and then you realize okay he's going to be out of the game this guy's going to play and this is the season opener for the NFC Champs and it's the best running back one of the best players in the NFL it was treated a little too casually for me it should have that should have led the broadcast that it was that important it's that important and if I'm a gambler I want to know I don't know what that did to the betting line I don't know if people all of a sudden said you know what I'm going to take the 4 and A2 with the Jets because of that but you It's Tricky and you have to have that information available to Gamblers and fantasy now in some fantasy leagues you can replace one of your players if another player is playing on either one of those teams at least I've been told that uh so if you had somebody on uh the Jets or you had somebody on the ners you could replace Christian mcaffrey with them because they were playing in the game or their teams were playing in that game yes Paulie uh it's different at different betting sites but uh when the mcaffrey news was announced the 49ers went from fourpoint favorites to three-point favorites and the over under1 A2 uh 42 and a half to 41 A2 yeah so it did have an impact here and it sounds like somebody knew something on Friday now Kyle Shanahan is never going to admit that he told Jordan Mason you're going to get the start Christian's not playing because then the NFL would probably be dialing up Kyle shanan to say uh Kyle we can't do that that we can't even give the perception that uh something was a little uh a wire Haywire awall something yes Eden so not to go all tin foil hat on you but it's just coincidence that then they told the kid on Friday even though nobody was supposed to know that he was starting and then ESPN completely downplayed the news that Christian mcaffrey wasn't starting well watch watching the broadcast last night right I mean that's the first thing I don't care what the weather and it's a Sunset and a beautiful night and electricity in the air it's you got breaking news Chris mcaffrey is not playing in the game I that's I mean you get a pregame show that actually has some news to it I was just shocked that they didn't treat that like it was something more important than what it was and you got this guy who's an undrafted free agent year player they have no idea who he is we found out who he was watching the game and he played an integral part in them winning this game so I was just surprised but I don't know if the NFL is going to follow up on this but if you tell me I'm starting my first game I think I'm going to remember that conversation I don't know if it was a hey get ready you're going to play a little bit now now that's not starting that's called be ready like my college coach would always say to me hey be ready as I continue to sit on the bench he didn't say you're starting I would remember that so it was a little surprising last night from a couple different angles there all right uh let me see here's Aaron Rogers on what went wrong yeah you know we were just bad uh on first and second down I think for a lot of the game and then you know we had a couple drives we converted third downs but overall you know we we uh we I feel like we didn't have any third and 10 pluses tonight so that's always a good thing we looking at the stat sheet but uh we didn't convert those third and mediums um you know we had a drop we had a couple uh penalties had a bad throw so lot to correct but overall I feel you know feel good about our guys thought the protection was really good tonight um we just were a little bit off in the in the Run game couldn't give Bree Cohen couldn't give him enough space but a lot to build on yeah it's not time to panic yet I mean this is what we want to do we want to overreact to it it's the ners the ners were supposed to win I was surprised the betting line wasn't a little more closer to six points but it was four and a half then went down to three mcaffry is not playing and uh you know Rogers had some weapons looked good early but the defense got manhandled last night that was the big surprise for me Panic not yet now I think they have the Titans next week does that sound right yes Todd at the Titans host the Patriots and then host the Broncos those are their next okay they could easily be three and one and then we're going to move on to another topic here by the way Jordan Mason salary this year $985,000 all right that's a good good uh good salary Christen McCaffrey's game check for last night $940,000 of the day of the day of the day of the day here comes that what stat of the day stat of the day brought to you by Panini America the official trading cards uh Alex Smith will join us coming up former NFL quarterback Jim Harbaugh once again top of next hour I didn't know much about Jordan Mason and was he Georgia Tech nice okay I was going to give you a hint fantastic uniforms a lot of good running backs oh yeah yeah Jordan Mason so was he there before jir Gibbs he was he overlapped with the Gibbs era lightly actually he took over after Gibbs went to Alabama he was 18 19 20 21 he started off great and had some injuries his last few years okay fritzy wants toh change the spelling I guess of Christian McCaffrey's last name is yeah it was being kicked around the room mcaffrey maybe with a name like that we should have known that he might run into some kind of problem thank you and if you play for the yellow jackets shouldn't there be some Buzz around Jordan Mason before get all righty you're all night probably would have held off on the last one your waitresses yeah $10 cover a CH two drink pretty good game by Brock wasn't it Dan mafre thank you to Mel uh okay so what's poll question we're going to go with hour one then we'll take a break I think we're going to go with Aaron Rogers and the Jets actually the uh what about can I put up something along the lines of the timing of the announcement of Christian McCaffrey's injury dot dot dot story or not a story yeah but I'm looking at this from a TV perspective of this is breaking news it should have been played up larger than what it was but you know for the league and betting and I don't know maybe I'm making too big a deal of it but it was breaking news and it wasn't treated that way it was we're going to get around to hey let's go down to Laura rutage Laura Kristen mcaffrey not playing okay yeah see but see I find it more interesting the discrepancy between the player and the coach well that the player is like yeah they told me on Friday and then all of a sudden the player has to go back up onto the bo be like well I mean I just I don't uh because he just got everybody in trouble I I felt bad for him because here he has his moment and then he's going up and saying this is why I don't like the media like wait dude you just had your moment uh it's not our fault they're just asking the right question right when did he know when did you know Friday yes Mark is that going to be awkward because in that uh postgame presser K Shanahan mentions Bobby that's Bobby Turner the running back's code for the 49ers like wait wait did you tell him that he was going to be starting on but Bobby's not interviewed you don't talk to the assistant coaches so I'm going to have to take Kyle's word for it that uh he wasn't told on Friday that he was going to be starting okay maybe nothing to see here I uh said Friday uh I did I say start no it's me uh
