Jets vs. 49ers touchscreen 🔎 How Jordan Mason replaced Christian McCaffrey in Week 1 | SC with SVP

Ryan Clark Emmy Award winning I know how much I look forward to these seconds know how busy you are on Monday but it's fun to get a chance to run these back and do it you got a tape on Jordan Mason we're going to get to in a moment I just want to get your thoughts on Rogers and what we saw because that drive when it's humming you're like here we go but did you see a man that looked comfortable at all times on the field tonight you know what he didn't when the San Francisco 49ers he mentioned the soft coverage they play When the San Francisco 49ers were making Aaron Rogers hold the football he looked a little jump in the pocket he never quite got settled as if he was trying to make sure he'd get the football out of his hands and we talked about it before the game like there's going to be some discomfort after not playing for 610 days but I do believe as Aaron roders begins to settle in and some of those new offensive linemen settle in as well he'll get more comfortable in what he's doing inside the pocket and I think once he starts to get that feel back we can see a more consistent Aaron roders the drive he talked about the protection being great we watched him deal get it out of his hands quickly we didn't see that throughout the rest of the game I tell you what though that Tennessee defense is nasty I mean Chicago didn't win that game yesterday because of their offense that's next I believe New England's next and look what they did against Cincinnati so you're going up against three really good defenses right out of the shoot for Aaron roders but I love what he said at the top about gratitude I think it's an important thing for everybody just you wake up in the morning man you're grateful for the day that you have in front of you his included a chance to get back on on the field tonight we didn't know when we woke up this morning that Jordan Mason was going to be the guy that was going to Star tonight maybe he did but at some point he found out you're the guy tonight what did he show everyone those udfas sometimes hey every now and then you get you one a little hungry now you know it it was great because what they did without Christian mcaffrey was use Jordan Mason to be the downhill Runner you heard George kdo say they simplified it and then they got on the edges with Debo Samuel let's look at the two touchdowns from the team tonight when they ran the here is going to be early with Debo Samuel and at this point Jordan Mason is running the football extremely well there was actually a 22 yard touchdown that was called back after you get this motion they're trying to see what sort of defense they're in on the other side so then you're going to get a Jet Sweep and out of the Jet Sweep Jan Jennings is going to lead up Phil and then you're going to get a kick out by George kdo okay here let's start the play here you're going to see Debo Samuel comes in motion he gets the Jet Sweep okay let's pause it here now this is where George KD is going to create a Chasm or a hole for Deo Samuel to run through and you see once George KD gets the kick out Deo Samuel now with the physical run as he runs over Chuck Clark to getting an end zone as you watch this play finish these were the type of plays that they use Debo Samuel for who I talked to and he told me he had to learn about 30 run plays that were put in once they found out Christian mcaffrey would be questionable for this game now watch this play we saw in the last play George KD and Juan Jennings were intrical in getting Debo Samuel into the end zone now Debo Samuel gets in it he's going to get a crack down here George K is going to fold back to the middle and when he folds back that's when we're going to see Jordan Mason hit here and then get the cut back to score the touchdown now as you let it play this is why the San Francisco 49ers are so successful they have skill players that get to the second level level and get blocks here you see Debo Samuel he's going to fit in right here and George KD fit in as well Jordan Mason set a tone you know every now and then it's not about what the ex's and no say it's about the physicality in which you play and his style of running though different than Christian mcaffrey may have been better tonight against the Jets who have CJ Mosley and Quincy Williams who love to go sideline the sideline and make plays this was one of those games where you had to be a tooth chipper and Jordan Mason was the greatest tooth chipper of them all and Christian mcaffrey he might just be singular Ryan in terms of his ability to impact the game from that position both in the running and the passing game they threw it to Mason once tonight yeah when he's healthy he's the guy however however when you demonstrate the ability to answer the call in the manner that Mason did against this team on this stage in the room how does that change the way people look at this player and what he's capable of being to the team well what it does is it says maybe we don't have to use Christian mcaffrey all the time maybe we can spell him it's obviously never going to be back by by committee when the best running back in the game is on your team but if you have drives or if you have different packages that allows Jordan Mason to get some of those touches to take some of those hits and some of that physicality off of Christian mcaffrey in the meat of the Season then what sort of player can he be down the stretch what sort of player can he be in the playoffs and I think we've seen this with so many different teams having two running backs who can do different things and utilizing them both now obviously Christian mcaffry can run it he can split out he can catch the ball from the back field but what we saw from Jordan Mason today is the tone setting type of running style that I think becomes huge in the goal line third and short fourth and short and also in games where you need that physicality I'm just look I mean looking at the box score when it's done and and we talked about the so much both on and off the air tonight that this this jet team was able to lean into its defense last year in spite of the fact that their o line play and quarterback play was just abysmal and their defense gave them chances well tonight their defense wasn't able to keep I they they forced a bunch of field goal attempts otherwise this is a enormous blowout but I just I'm curious if anything that you saw was concerning tonight from the Jets defense in terms of what they couldn't do it was concerning because normally the Jets defense is full of enforcers right it's it's full of guys that know a way to stop the bleeding because this team has been bleeding out for the last two years last three years they had quarterbacks who couldn't make plays an offense that couldn't move the ball and every year we sat there we said if they could just have a competent offense or a quarterback that resembles a little professionalism at the position this could be a Superbowl caliber team tonight this defense wasn't Super Bowl caliber this defense didn't play with the level of physicality you need to play with in order to be Championship caliber and so I think Robert Salah is going to have to go back and say hey we can't let up just because eight is on the field and I do think sometimes that sense of security or the sense of urgy see when you know you need every play makes you play a little differently they learned tonight that if they don't come out with their best stuff they can be dominated as well well maybe it's just the fact that the team they're playing tonight is Super Bowl caliber on offense even without CHR they look good they really did like this was this was one of those it's hard to say statement win in the first week I agree right but you talked about how do you rebound after a Super Bowl loss what do what do you learn about yourself through that process I think they learned that if we're consistent and we execute the way we're supposed to we can beat anyone at some point today I said I was going to bring it up I'm going to bring it up here Xander shle a guy that plays golf he he was close to winning majors and he didn't and he just said you know what I'm going to keep doing playing exactly the way I play because I believe eventually it'll be enough that he went won the PGA and then two majors later he won the Open Championship I believe this is a team if they just keep doing what they're doing eventually inevitably they're going to add to the Super Bowl championship pile which already includes five Ryan Clark with me on Monday nights appreciate you as always thank you brother [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
