How The 49ers Brilliantly ‘Cheated’ Aaron Rodgers

The San Francisco 49ers and New York Jets faced off in the first Monday Night Football of the 2024 NFL season in Week 1. The high powered 49ers offense including Brock Purdy, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, & even Jordan Mason gave Aaron Rodgers & the Jets all they could handle despite missing Christian McCaffrey, along with the defense. But did New York's offense with Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson, etc. show us more than you might think at first glance?
Also, give me ideas for other NFL videos, news, and discussions I should cover in the future. I read ALL comments.
Thank you so much for the support guys.

For 49er fans who've been watching Mason over the last couple years, nothing that he did Monday was honestly surprising. Mason has always run like this; he's just been stuck behind CMC. During the pre-season, 49er fans have been vocal about Mason sharing RB duties more with CMC - mainly to ensure CMC remains healthy over such a grueling season.

[@vanmatheson9674]

Absolutely true, only thing was Mason wasnt behind CMC. He was behind Mitchell, mason was RB3, which made it worst for us niner fans who really wanted Kyle to showcase him lol

[@portee9113]

Don't forget he was also behind Mitchell (technically somehow still is, only that Mitchell is on IR) The fact he was an undrafted free agent is mind boggling. ANY team in the NFL would be lucky to have him as RB1.

[@mikemccrea1935]

Exactly. I knew plenty about him. He has closed out games for us at least 5 times in the last couple seasons. I mean like physically ended the game

[@toomuchdrivetothrive]

Mason is not a surprise to 49er fans. Williams said it best. He has been a beast in close-up time in games, getting 5 yards seemingly every time. He is money to churn out the clock.

Couldn’t agree more. Pretty much broke the rules by not letting Aaron Rodgers touch the football 😂

Yes, niners have had alot of good running backs over the years. Credit goes to the blocking

The 49ers have more then enough weapons without Pearsall . The problem is and will always be Kyle Shanahan who for some reason does stupid shit like abandoned the run in the Superbowl and call ridiculous flea-flickers on 3rd and a mile. As brilliant as he is let's all remember he blew a 28-3 lead in the Superbowl and lost two other Superbowls after leading late in the 4th Qrt. The 49ers don't need more talent . What they need is a head coach who doesn't wet his pants when the pressure is on. Don't even get me started on his NFC Championship calls with Jimmy G.

Last year the 49ers struggled to run to the right side as their OL sucked on that side, so they always ran to the left. The addition of Puni allows them to run to the right or left at will.

Mason had 147 rushing yards that game, 94 of those yards came before contact. Dude nearly had a 100 yard game before anyone touched him. The blocking was on point. That said, I think the Jets potentially have a bounce back game since they're playing a team that lost a 17 point lead to the Bears without the Bears scoring a single offensive touchdown.

[@TheFootballDigest]

At least the rest of the NFL world knows with you all now. Can’t wait to see if he keeps up this pace

[@shect1]

The 49ers defense is missing two starters. Dre and Hufanga. Hufanga was a first team all pro two seasons ago, probably would've been there again last season if he didn't get hurt. Dre is overlooked because he plays next to the best LB in the game. Add those two guys and the defense will be even better. Mason isn't the first RB to step in and have a day like that for Kyle. He's not even the first undrafted RB to do that. Mostert was undrafted as well. So you went out on a limb there and I think it broke. 49ers fans spent the last couple of seasons pleading for Kyle to give Mason more chances. It's understandably hard for Kyle to take CMC off the field because he adds so much value in other aspects of the offense. If Mason gets better with route running and catching passes (he did have one reception on a 3rd down against the Jets) Kyle will probably feel better about playing him more when CMC is back.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Yeah, there have been many 49ers fans telling me what I've been missing these past few years lol Wonder what the workload will look like between the two when McCaffrey is fully healthy and back

Amazing work - I've seen so MANY breakdowns of this offense - but the combo of your analysis and visuals made this incredibly clear & compelling. You have 100% earned a like & subscribe. This type of performance over a lauded defense (even factoring in the slow start) was impressive, especially with the rust from Aiyuk and McCafferty being out. As many mentioned, Mason wasn't a huge surprise - but we needed to see it in this type of sample size to confirm suspicions. Looking forward to your next video!

[@adamdrummond2]

​@@TheFootballDigest​ I just saw this response after watching your (equally great) breakdown of week 4. I think Purdy is doing a great job of debunking the system qb / embarrassment or riches narratives given how many plays he makes out of structure and the rotating/injury-riddled cast he's working with. While I can't wait to see them all at full strength, this time is giving us the ability to appreciate the quality/depth of the team (Jennings, Collins, Mason, etc ) while giving experience/reps to those who we're excited to see develop. Thanks again for the nuanced & honest breakdowns that we crave.

It's like this franchise didn't learn their lesson from the Giants/49ers playoff game. Both SB's against KC, the Niners "gave" easy points away because of fluke plays. But that's the thing with high stake games...Murphy's Law will surface. Overlooking this alone cost them the game.

[@eccehomer8182]

RB1 - Mason WR1 - Jennings 🤯We Niners fans weren't surprised... those guys ball! They would be RB1 and WR1 on a lot of other teams. The play that summed up the game up for me was the long pass to Juice. Mason had been trucking downhill all day, so when Juice led him out of the back field the D bit hard on the play action, leaving Juice wide open. Also with Puni in the O-Line it looks a lot more solid on the right side. The secondary also looked much better.

Jets will continue to improve throughout the year. A healthy AR for the year is going to make some noise come playoff time. Nothing beats AR hard count free play TD 🔥

[@SleeperDarkside]

The niners has been aggressive and tough, with Kyle Shanahan as their head coach the window of a Superbowl run will never close.

[@TheFootballDigest]

The innovations he continues to make in the offense are so entertaining to watch Wonder if this is finally the year they win it all

[@jonq8714]

What is most surprising is the Saleh knows Kyle's offense and tendencies from his time coaching here... and all that knowledge didn't help a bit.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Definitely feels like he was out coached for the most part in this game. Looking to see if New York will bounce back this week against Tennessee

[@mr.perlin]

As an Sf Fan we all know they're a second half team unless its against the chiefs.

[@TheFootballDigest]

😅

[@deistmutt]

Team is okay for now... I just want our team to stay healthy through playoffs.. our biggest nemesis, health god. We beat it last year.. hope we beat that this year.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Just waiting to see what they'll look like when they add CMC, Hufanga, Greenlaw, etc..

[@broderickbrownbrown4082]

49er fans no that Mason was a good running back. He’s been there a couple years now.

[@TheFootballDigest]

The rest of the NFL knows now too at least 😂

[@MultiRastaman3]

Mason has a 5.5 yard per carry average for his career. Small sample size but still 😳

[@TheFootballDigest]

Absolutely crazy. Curious to see if he can keep this up over the next couple of weeks

[@spacemanmusic6853]

The Jets defense missed so many tackles Mason looked like Barry Sanders. Embarrassing

[@TheFootballDigest]

He’s such a physical back. Gotta love it

[@areader8303]

I think BA dropping that TD pass will light a fire up under his ass!

[@TheFootballDigest]

I would not be surprised either if it does

[@Michael-gi3dk]

Gotta score in the red zone though, field goals ain’t going to cut it.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Very true, made the score a lot closer than what it could’ve been honestly

[@tonygreen9610]

He got his chance and he showed what he can do

[@TheFootballDigest]

100%

[@shaunmaxwell2745]

Last year I honestly thought mason should have been the number two instead of Mitchell. Mitchell just runs into guys, Mason was like a cmc

[@eccehomer8182]

CMC is all about cuts and spinning out of the tackle. Jordan can also cut but delivers the boom stick in the tackle.

[@shaunmaxwell2745]

@@eccehomer8182 it’s true it’s a great combo of dudes

[@TheFootballDigest]

Mason’s one-cuts and ability to be physical is amazing. Adds a whole new dynamic alongside CMC

[@jonathanlwiggins9943]

If Kyle alternated CMC and Mason in the year and definitely in the SB, we would be SB champs. Ran CMC into the damn ground. Got 2 dawg ass RBs and ran CMC till he broke

[@TheFootballDigest]

Definitely feels like it’s gonna be a different approach from Shanahan in that regard this year once CMC is back

[@OneOfDaKine82]

Aaron is the last greats to play QB.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Enjoying every game of his while he’s still here

[@kingbryant5673]

"Jordan Mason of all people" we 49er fans knew hes capable of this. He just hasn't had opportunities because we have CMC on the roster

[@TheFootballDigest]

I’m just glad the rest of the NFL world now knows this as well with you all 😂

[@kingbryant5673]

@@TheFootballDigest I'm not now other teams are gonna want him lmao

[@TheFootballDigest]

Valid point lol

[@Murf1802]

As a Jet fan, San Fran is a better team, as they say , well, oiled machine. period. As for the jets on paper , there definitely right up there with the top 5 , but can they mesh? It is the question. Actions speak louder than words.Thank you for the breakdown and breaking my heart again, hahaha.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Hey, as said they looked good for the most part when they had the ball Just didn’t have the ball for very long 😂

[@Murf1802]

@@TheFootballDigest Thanks,

[@yugiboi209]

So for the Jets 100% going to watch the tapes look at what the weaknesses are and try to improve off of it and for the 49ers just business as usual since their team looks good atm but once CMC comes back who knows what is going to happen because two strong looking running backs there has to be certain things one does better than the other.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Very true. I’m more interested to see what their carry splits are going to look like than anything else when CMC is healthy again

[@curtthechameleon]

I feel like we have the team to win it all this year. Health depending.

[@TheFootballDigest]

I’m excited to see what this team actually looks like fully healthy No CMC, Pearsall, Greenlaw & Hufanga to start the year is crazy with all things considered

[@TOMMYDACOMMIE]

Idk what to think of the Jets. Rodgers just got back so he is rusty and they played the best team in the NFC week 1so i don't think anyone can tell yet honestly.

[@TheFootballDigest]

You’re 100% right. Gonna have to a wait a few weeks before we have a definitive idea on them. Will be very entertaining to see

[@vashman01]

Only injuries can stop the 49ers.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Thinking about how they don’t know even have CMC, Pearsall, Greenlaw & Hufanga yet is crazy

[@rhp_6926]

Mason is probably a better pure runner anyway. Only thing they missed is CMC's receiving.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Mason’s one-cuts were great that entire game. Such a physical back too

[@modulo3664]

Peyton Manning's Colts once beat Miami on Monday night despite having the ball for less than 1 quarter...

[@junedabarber]

He def knew what Mason could do….. we all did if you’re a real fan

[@TheFootballDigest]

Definitely grabbed my attention for the rest of this season, that’s for sure

[@williamroberts6803]

The true mvp last year, Brock Purdy.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Curious to see if he will top his numbers from last year

[@eman610]

We don't have the best 1-2 punch. CMC's has tendonitis in his achilles. That doesn't heal fast, months minimum depending on the severity of the inflammation/tear. You even heard Mason say after the game, "Idk how CMC does it." Well, he doesn't, case and point his lingering injury.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Just saw he may go to the IR. Brutal

[@spy-v-spy1848]

I love me a Silver just as much as the next guy you need to be putting respect where respect is do number #77 ( look him up & take note, can a guard be voted rookie of the year) he destroyed anyone he got his hands on in the pass game as well as the run game that includes Q.

[@TheFootballDigest]

I’ve definitely got my eyes on Puni for the remainder of this season, that’s for sure

[@johnniner8134]

Steve wilks as DC made niners defense looked average last season, but so happy they fired him. Niners defense is back in form

[@TheFootballDigest]

Curious to see what Nick Sorensen can continue to do over the next couple of weeks

[@williamroberts6803]

Only one reason besides having the best left tackle back is Brock is the best quarterback in the league. Most win to start a career,highest scoring offense, fastest split ten at the combine at quarterback, most passes over 20 yards in the air and on and on…..

[@TheFootballDigest]

Continues to impress more week by week throughout his career

[@adamquek1095]

puni is the steal of this draft

[@TheFootballDigest]

He stood out to me a lot in this game. Gonna be keeping my eye on him for the rest of this season no doubt

[@latecommer100]

Very possible that 9ers have two 1000 yrd rushers .

[@TheFootballDigest]

At this rate, I wouldn’t put it past them lol

[@Thadopeera]

When I seen all these experts pick fantasy Running Backs none of them had Jordon Mason.. None

[@TheFootballDigest]

Big time waiver wire guy if he was somehow still there 😂

[@bwalsh6992]

The difference is they kicked Steve Wilks to the Curb... He sucked ..now they have a top tier defensive coach ..

[@TheFootballDigest]

Promoting Sorensen in-house felt right for them at the time, and it couldn’t have looked much better week 1

[@jameshayden3952]

49ers, Class of the League again. Only injury or refs can stop them...again.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Can’t wait to see what this team will look like fully healthy

[@JamesLee-qy3cl]

Jets will do fine. Once they have Reddick back .. they'll probably start stringing a few wins in a row ..

[@TheFootballDigest]

Never would I have thought that contract hold out between him & their front office would still be going

[@ItsIzzyG23]

How do you run that much with a genius like Rodgers there?????

[@TheFootballDigest]

Wouldn’t be surprised Rodgers unloads week 2 in Tennessee

[@bigbutterflyhater]

I would've loved to watch the game, but I don't want to make my family watch something they don't like. I'm glad they won though.

[@willmurray1518]

A rusty, out of sync team beat the wheels off the Jets. Scary to think what the Niners will be like when they are all clicking.

[@TheFootballDigest]

Especially when they get fully healthy. Gonna be interesting as time goes on and they add pieces

[@allanronnow]

Rodgers looked really good, I mean really good. That old man has an arm. His team struggled. 49ers have too many gifted players backing each other up at every position. It was too much for the Jets

[@TheFootballDigest]

Agreed. Very curious to see how they bounce back this week
