And then festivities will conclude Sunday, 35 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: of course, at Montlife Stadium, as the New York Jets 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: host the Buffalo Bills their annual Salute to Service game. 37 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: But let's get to the moment at hand. The Jets 38 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: now three and six with a thirteen to six defeat 39 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: to the Miami Dolphins. This is the first time all 40 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: year this team is three games under five hundred. What 41 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: did you think about the game? Overall? It was it 42 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: was a tough one, you know, it's a tough one 43 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: to watch, you know, because the defense played so well. 44 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: You know, I thought, um that they dominated this game. 45 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: They only gave up six points. Um. Offensively, you can 46 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: never they can never really get anything going, so you know, 47 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: that was that was a little bit frustrating. I'm sure 48 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: it was for the for the team as well. But 49 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: you know, I thought the Jets played good enough to 50 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: win this game, you know, but when you lose that 51 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: turn Yeah, defensively they did, but when you lose a 52 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 1: turnover battle, you know, you don't really give yourself a 53 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: chance to win the game. So you gotta take care 54 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: of the football. Defensively, you know, they played great, but 55 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: they didn't turn the ball over. They gotta get get 56 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: some turnovers, get the ball to Sam Darwin and some 57 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: great field position to give him some opportunities to capitalize inside. 58 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 1: The Jets is supported by Elective Insurance Responses Everything Eric 59 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: Allen and Eric Coleman. Here we're gonna be joined momentarily 60 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: by Jets defensive lineman Leonard Williams. The Big Cat you 61 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: have been in those post game locker rooms after you 62 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: put forth a great defensive effort. How frustrated are you 63 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: at that point, knowing that you put together a winning performance, 64 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: your side of the ball took care of business. Well, 65 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: you know, as a defender, it is very frustrating, you know, 66 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: because you know, uh that you played well enough to 67 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: win this game. But at the same time, you keep 68 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: it in perspective because there have been plenty of games 69 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: where the offense probably bailed you out. So it's a 70 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: it's a team effort. You know, you win as a team, 71 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: you loses a team. But when you play that good 72 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: on defense, you know you would like to come out 73 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: with a victory, and uh, you know, it's gotta be frustrating. 74 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: It's gotta be frustrating for the offense as well, you know, 75 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: not being able to make the plays that they want to, uh, 76 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: knowing that they was probably did a great job of 77 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: scheme in the Dolphins, had a great game plan for 78 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, but when it came to playing, the Dolphins 79 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: out executed him. What does it say about the standard 80 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: this defense has that the guys talked much like you 81 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: are Sunday in the postgame locker room where I was 82 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: there in South Florida hard Rock Stadium. The fellows were saying, 83 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: we had to come up with takeaways, and I'm thinking 84 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: to myself, you guys did everything. But yeah, I mean, 85 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: but that's what you expect of your out of your defense. 86 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: You know, when you have such a dominant group on 87 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: the on that side of the ball, they want to 88 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: win the game themselves. You know, they want to give 89 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: them you know, know know when you have a rookie quarterback 90 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: who's gonna take his lumps, he make his mistakes. As 91 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: a defense, you want to come in and and over 92 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: exceed all your expectations. You not only want to keep 93 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: them off the board, but you also want to score 94 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: on defense. You want to you know, get some turnovers 95 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: on defense and make some big plays to help win 96 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: this game. Okay, So what do you think about Jamal Adams? 97 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,559 Speaker 1: After the game, we went we went to his locker 98 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: and I actually put this on social media, and I 99 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: think a lot of people saw this as that he 100 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: said enough is enough. I'm sick or lose him. I 101 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: think he just echoed everyone else is at a to 102 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: you know, I think this is a team full of winners. 103 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: I don't think any of them are used to win. 104 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: And you know, you when you go to NFL teams, 105 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: most of the roster is built up off of winners, 106 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: Guys who won in high school, guys who won in college. 107 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: And when they get to the NFL, it's tough to win, 108 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: you know. And when you go on these losing streaks 109 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: and you lose these tough games, these games that are 110 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: just heartbreaking, it gets old. It gets old quick, and 111 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: hopefully that it echoes around the team. They take that 112 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: perspective to practice, They work harder in preparation and go 113 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: out there and execute. This week, playing against the Buffalo Bills, 114 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: all right, we're not gonna bury the lead here. What's 115 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: going on with Sam Donald? Why did he struggle so 116 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: much against the Dolphins? Four interceptions, including a backbreaking pick 117 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: six that made a two possession game, And at that 118 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: stage in the fourth quarter against the Dolphins, it didn't 119 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: feel like a ten point deficit. It felt like a 120 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: twenty four point deficit. Yeah, you know, those are the 121 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: things that are gonna happen with the young quarterback. You know, 122 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: he's gonna make his mistakes in front of the world. 123 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: And it was a combination of Sam trying to force 124 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: the ball, trying to make too many plays. Another you know, 125 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: the Dolphins did a great job of mixing up their 126 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: defenses and they just made some great plays. So you know, 127 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: there are a couple of things happen on those interceptions. Um, 128 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: you know, especially on the one with the linebacker when 129 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: he to pick six, that was just a great athletic play. Yes, 130 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: Sam probably tried to force that ball in there, but 131 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: there aren't too many linebackers that can cover a tight 132 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: end on a corner route make that catch. Face but yeah, 133 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: he was, but it was but it was a great play. 134 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: And and that's the thing that we say when you 135 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: get in the locker room. They get paid to sometimes 136 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: the other team is gonna make big plays and and 137 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: the and the Dolphins did when they needed it. Okay, 138 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: So what has Donald done when he's had success and conversely, 139 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: what happens when he starts scuffling, Well, you know, I 140 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: think you see the ball get out of his hands 141 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: a lot quicker when he when he's having success, he's 142 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: more confident in what he's doing. Uh, he understands how 143 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: the defense is attacking them. And you know, sometimes when 144 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: they mix things up, Sam gets a little uncomfortable, and 145 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: and that's it's your quarterback. You know you're gonna lock 146 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: onto your receiver. You might stare him down too much 147 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: because at practice he was open. On film, you visualize 148 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: yourself making this throw. But every once in a while 149 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: the throw wrinkle into the defense and it doesn't turn 150 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: out the way you know. That's that's what we take 151 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: pride in on defense is disguise and coverage make it 152 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: look the same. At the last second. You might rotate. 153 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: You might play inside leverage, and in the past you 154 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: played outside leverage. So that makes a world of a 155 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: difference when you're playing against a young quarterback. And those 156 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: are things that as a rookie you see on the 157 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: field you after you make the mistake, you don't get 158 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: to see those things in the film room, where you 159 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: don't get to watch anyone else make those mistakes. Now, 160 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: I talked to Chi Pennington about this. Today we take 161 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: the segment and you can watch it and Jets Flight 162 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: Plan that there's eleven thirty Sunday mornings here in New 163 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: York locally. You also can check it out New York 164 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: ches dot com. But he said, sometimes you have to 165 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: take the checkdowns when they're available. Sometimes you're gonna look 166 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: down the field at your first and second progression and 167 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: you've gotta come off that using your feet, and then 168 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: sometimes it's okay to get five or six yards with 169 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: the dump to your running back. Yeah, sometimes that checkdown 170 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: or that throwing that ball away out of bounce is 171 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: the best throw. You know. Sometimes that defense will put 172 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: together a plan where every route is covered, you know, 173 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: and there's no no one opened down the field, and 174 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: throwing the ball away, checking it down to a running 175 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: back is your best option, you know. I think back 176 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: to that third down, third and fourteen when Donald threw 177 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: that interception on the dig route. They ran the dagger 178 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: um A nun Wall was on the outside a round 179 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: a fifteen yard en route and he was staring the 180 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: receiver down and you can tell him that situation. It 181 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 1: was third down and fourteen towards the end of the game. 182 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: The Jets needed to continue to drive and Sam thought, 183 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: you know, I need to get this first down, and 184 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: sometimes the play is just not there. You need to 185 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: check it down and live to see another place. So 186 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: I think he'll learn from that and he'll continue to grow. Well, 187 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what strong comments from Sam Donald today 188 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: as he addressed the New York media as he typically 189 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: does filing a ballgame. He he said, it's just not 190 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: playing to the best of my abilities. Quite frankly, just 191 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: playing stupid. I thought I played stupid football yesterday, and 192 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: I just gotta be better. And I know that the 193 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: coaches know that, everyone knows that. I respect that from 194 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: your leader. You know, he's a rookie, and it's easy 195 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: to deflect and say, you know, we all could have 196 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 1: played better, you know, offensively are or we could have 197 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: all made some plays out there. Instead, Sam decided to 198 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: take that one on the chin. He pointed the thumb 199 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: at itself. And and that's very mature of him, especially 200 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 1: when you're talking about being in New York, because they're 201 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: gonna be very critical in the media. We're gonna be 202 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: very critical of you. And Sam just took it on 203 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: the chin, didn't say it was anyone else's fault but 204 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: his own, and he's got to learn from it if 205 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: this team is gonna get better. I definitely respect that. Yeah, 206 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 1: definitely so much to get to in regards to the 207 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: New York Jets and Sam Donald, and we'll be back 208 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: with much more.

The snap, the placement down, the kick 213 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: is on the way, it's got the distance floating right 214 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: and it's no good.

Just a tough day 221 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 1: at the office for the Jets scoring two field goals. 222 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: You're not gonna win many games in the NFL if 223 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: you come home with six points. No, you're not. And 224 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: I remember, you know, back to my Jets days when 225 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: Herm Edwards used to always say, we have to score 226 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: twenty four points, you know, And if you look at 227 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 1: the average of the other scores, have you win twenty 228 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: have you scored twenty four points. The you'll win probably 229 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: twelve of year games, and of course every week is 230 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: not gonna happen, but offensively, you've got to put a 231 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns on the board to give yourself an opportunity. 232 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: Leonard Williams will join us in our next segment and 233 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: he will be our player guest segment, which is presented 234 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: by M ANDT Bank, Official Community Bank of your New 235 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: York Jets. All right, let's get back to Donald. So 236 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: before the season, he played so well in the spring 237 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: and the summer that the Jets said, here are the keys, 238 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: we are going to ride the ups in downs with you. Well, 239 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: in Miami you experience the down and I think a 240 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: gut reaction of a fan. Some fans were saying, Hey, 241 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: what are we gonna do out here? Should you put 242 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: Josh McCown in? You have to stick with this guy 243 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: right now, do you not? I would say so, you know, 244 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: because I mean, listen, and I'm saying that's extreme, But 245 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying a lot of people are like, what's going on? 246 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: And he's regressing. I don't know if he's necessarily regressing. 247 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: He's gonna have points of the season where you're like Indianapolis, 248 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 1: complete of his passes, or he's throwing touchdowns left and right, 249 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: or the last couple of weeks he's really experienced a 250 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: couple of roll blocks. Yeah, I mean there, they're gonna 251 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 1: be a lot of ebbs and flows, you know, playing 252 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: quarterback in the the rookie position, and when you're a rookie, 253 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: you know you're you're gonna go through the ups and downs. 254 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: And as the Jets, they decided to go with Sam 255 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: Donald at the beginning of the year, and like you said, 256 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to ride those things out. And and 257 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: I don't I think listen, last Sunday, he took a 258 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: step back, but before that he had he had been 259 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: getting better every week. And I think that he will 260 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: continue to get better and grow as a quarterback. And 261 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: I think it's the right decision to stay with him. 262 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: You know, Um, Josh McCown is is a great player. 263 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: I think that if you start off with Josh, maybe 264 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: you win a couple of games and and phase into Donald. 265 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: But that's not the way that they went about it. 266 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: They went with Donald. I thought it was a great 267 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 1: decision as well. He played so well in the preseason. 268 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: He showed that he has the ability to lead this team. 269 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: And I think everyone has has confidence in him, you know, 270 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: everyone on the offense and the defense. They definitely do. 271 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying and that noise is loud right now. 272 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: My point is you heard whispers from fans just being 273 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: on social media yesterday and some people are like, when 274 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: I'm moving to football at all, you make a change 275 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: and you can't do that with the young quarterback. You 276 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: decided to go with him, and at this point in time, 277 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: it's not like he's taking a physical beating. He get 278 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: they get sacked four times against Miami Dolphins, but it's 279 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 1: not at that stage of his rookie season where you're panicking. 280 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: You cannot panic as a franchise, and that's what has 281 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 1: gotten teams in trouble. That's what has gotten organizations and 282 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: trouble in the past. Yeah, I think you have to 283 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: have that patience. And when you look at the organizations 284 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: that have traditionally had success, you know, you know, I 285 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: hate to bring him up with like the Steelers or 286 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: or or New England or someone. There's there's continuity there. 287 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: You know, they're the coaches have been there for a 288 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: long time. The quarterback you know, everyone has been there 289 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: for years and they've developed that say says. You know, 290 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen overnight. You don't just draft a quarterback, 291 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: plug him in and get some wins. You know, if 292 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to work at it, it's gonna be 293 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: a work in progress. And that's the way that the 294 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: Jets are going right now. Uh the Jets on the 295 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: positive side, on the offensive side of the ball, they 296 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: got Quincy and no Wino back in the lineup, Robby 297 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: Anderson uh suited up, and Eli McGuire came off injured reserve. 298 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: I before we get to a noon while who's his 299 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: stud I think a new um McGuire can provide a 300 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: spark for this team down the stretch. He definitely can. 301 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: And it was great to see him running the football yesterday. Uh. 302 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: You know, I think that he's you know, as he 303 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: gets in game shape, as he gets prepared, you know, 304 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: we we go through this next stretch of the season, 305 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: he's only gonna get better. You know, he was a 306 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: guy last year that that you know that he can 307 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: do everything. He can catch the ball to the backfield, 308 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: he can he can protect against the past. A lot 309 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: of the things that below Pal does. But he's he's 310 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: a lot younger. You know, he's another he's another dimension. 311 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be great with he and 312 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: Crowel back there and you know how yes, you're gonna 313 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: be missing, but Elijah McGuire can pick up a lot 314 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: of that. This is a tremendous opportunity for him, no 315 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: doubt about it, and great value in the draft from 316 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: Mike mccagne getting him in the sixth round a year ago. 317 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: How would you describe elis running stuff? He's, uh, he's slippery, 318 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: you know, he's he's definitely explosive. I like how he 319 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: runs in between the tackles. You know, he has a 320 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: low center of gravity. It's rare that you see a 321 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: linebacker get a full shot on him because he twists 322 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: his hips and he gets lateral, he gets down to 323 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: the you know, he has a great he has a 324 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: great pad level, and he has great vision and he's explosive. 325 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: So you know, he's a tough guy to tackle in 326 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: an open field, one of those guys that has a safety. 327 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: If you see him in this one on one, you 328 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: know you're gonna be in trouble because he can make 329 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: you miss when you're in the phone booth. Yeah, I'm 330 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: very excited to see what he does over these final 331 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: seven games. Why has the offensive line been inconsistent? We 332 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: see them sometimes just tear people up on the ground, 333 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: case and point the don ver Broncos done other games. 334 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: It doesn't they don't win the battles in the trenches, 335 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: like against the Chicago Bears. Against Miami they struggled inside 336 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: as well. What's what they're inconsistency up front? Well, you 337 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: know a lot of it has to do with there's injuries. 338 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: You know, Spencer Long has been hurt. You know everyone 339 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: knows that. You know, his snapping finger was injured, and 340 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: I saw a couple of arrant snaps last week. But 341 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: just that continuity, you know, the the way the game 342 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: is going also changes that. If you're playing from behind, 343 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: the defense knows that they can pin their ears back, 344 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: get after the quarterback. If you start to play with 345 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: the lead, start to run the football, you get that momentum. 346 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: You wear down that offensive line, uh, you wear down 347 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: the defensive line and start to make those big plays. 348 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: It's something that that you can't just come out and say, 349 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: you know what, we're gonna dominate this game, it's a 350 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: work in progress. You wear those defenses out as the 351 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: game goes. Do you feel as a for a former 352 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: or for a guy like Spenser Long who's trying to 353 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: play through a finger element where it is impacting his 354 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: snaps where you don't know where that ball is gone 355 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: when the Jets are lined up in the shotgun for formation. Yeah, 356 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: it's tough because you know Spencer knows. You know, he's 357 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: one of the leaders on that offensive line. He's the 358 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: guy that gets everyone lined up, he sets the blocking schemes, 359 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: and you know he's done a great job of it, 360 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: you know, up to up to now. You know, I 361 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: think that that injury is kind of holding him back. 362 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: But at the same time, when you're hurt, you want 363 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: to be out there helping your guys. You don't want 364 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: to see your guys out there struggling out there going 365 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: through battle, uh with with you on the sideline. So 366 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: I think that he tried to fight it as long 367 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: as he could, and at the end of the game, 368 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: you know it's time to make that switch. Jets Rewards members, 369 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: don't forget to enter the code scoreboard in your Jets 370 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: Rewards portal during the show to earn a hundred points. 371 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 1: That is scoreboard. A guy who's gonna be able to 372 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: help the Jets put some points on the scoreboard ahead 373 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: here it's Quincy and noon Law. Every time he touches 374 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: the ball, he makes something happen. He's a beast. He's 375 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: a beast, and it was great to see him back 376 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 1: out are on the field. You know that there he 377 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: had a couple of Quincy and None Wall type runs. 378 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: You know where he caught the you know the short passes, 379 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: carried about five guys down the field and got up 380 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 1: with that intensity and his attitude is just infectious. You know, 381 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: you can't help but want to play hard and bust 382 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: your butt when you see a guy like that on 383 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: the field, especially when he's you know he's hurting, you 384 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: know that ankle injury. Yes he's out there performing well, 385 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: but you know he's in some pain and he's fighting 386 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: through it. And that that's what that's the character that 387 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: this team needs to take. How much of an asset 388 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: can he be in this team's screen game Because a 389 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: lot of people are focusing at home about Donald's development, Well, 390 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: how can you help him out? I think the Jets 391 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: have shown to be a very good screen team. Yeah, 392 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: the screen is a is a great way to build 393 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 1: the quarterback's confidence. Is a short pass, fairly simple pass. 394 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: You just have to set everything up, get the blockers 395 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 1: out in front, and it could be a two yard pass, 396 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 1: but it ends up being an eight yard run. So 397 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: I think those are the plays, those short blaze you know, 398 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 1: similar to a checkdown. If you can get a checkdown, 399 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: make someone miss spring go through for a long run, 400 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: that really help the quarterback's confidence and it gets them going. Uh. 401 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 1: You know, it's tough when when you when you do 402 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 1: a lot of checkdowns and all of a sudden you 403 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 1: gotta make some deep passes. It's like shooting jump shots. 404 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: It's easier when you, you know, you start with the 405 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: layups and then work your way out and start hitting threes. 406 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: You don't just come out shooting threes at the you know, 407 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 1: at the end of the game. So I think that 408 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 1: those the screen game is an integral part of this offense, 409 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: and Quincy being back is gonna help out a lot. 410 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: From a guy who used to play in the back end, 411 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 1: what could you tell uh as far as what the 412 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: Dolphins were doing to try to give the rookie different 413 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: looks well, you know they were. They were mixing up 414 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: coverages at the one. Once the ball was snapped, you know, 415 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: they would give a two shell and then once the 416 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: play started you would see someone creep underneath and rob 417 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: you know the underneath paths. You gotta break this down 418 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: for everybody at home listening to all it's so too 419 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: deep shell. That's when you're usually playing cover to Both 420 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: safeties are probably fifteen yards deep. They're lined up inside 421 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: the numbers, and you know it's to cover two defense. 422 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: You know that there's there's four, there's too deep, have 423 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: nine guys underneath. You know everyone else is underneath seven 424 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: seven underneath and coverage um and and defenses are trying 425 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: to take away that down the field pass. Yeah, and 426 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: there's certain plays that beat that cover two. So maybe 427 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: Jeremy Bates calls a play to beat that cover two, 428 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: but on the snap they rotate the safety down. Now 429 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: was cover one. It makes things different. Now Sam has 430 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: to think about the changes while he's dropping back, which 431 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: bringing when the heat's coming on him. So it makes 432 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: you think twice about you know, where is this throw 433 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: Because before the snap you saw a cover two. I 434 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: know that this guy is gonna be open over here 435 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: and cover two. But now that the ball is snapped 436 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: is cover one? Oh? You know, now you have to 437 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: think and that's when he holds onto the ball, you 438 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: get sacks. And that's what you like to do as 439 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: a defensive guy in the secondary. Manipulate those young quarterbacks, 440 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 1: make them see one thing and let them make the 441 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 1: decision why they're dropping back. And that is the biggest 442 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: difference between playing on Saturdays and playing on Sundays, is 443 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: what those defenses try to do. Those offenses each and 444 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: every week here in the National Football League. Off to 445 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: a good start here on Inside the Jets. We're gonna 446 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 1: come right back with defensive lineman Leonard Williams to go 447 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: Donald and a shotgun on fourth and fifteen takes the 448 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: staff drops back, looks over the middle, steps up, fire, 449 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: swan into traffic and it's intercepted. Picking it off as 450 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: t J. McDonald and he will simply lay down, give 451 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: himself up at the fifty yard line with two fifteen remaining. 452 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: Third interception of today for Sam Donald. Welcome to Inside 453 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: the Jets. Welcome back to Inside Jets were broadcasting live 454 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: from Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits. Inside the Windham, Hamilton's Park Hotel, 455 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: Eric Allen alongside Eric Coleman. We're also closed here tonight 456 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: at Vanderbilt's because a number of military families are here 457 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: with us. So we thank you so much, not only 458 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: for your service, but for coming out tonight well deserved, 459 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: for the sacrifices you and your families continue to make 460 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: each and every day. Uh, we are lucky. That goes 461 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: without saying. But our player guest segment is presided by 462 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: M ANDT Bank, the official community bank of your New 463 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: York Jets. So without further ado, let's bring in the 464 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: big cat Leonard Williams. Leonard, we were talking about it. Uh, 465 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: E and I were talking about it, and me and 466 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: you talked about it yesterday in South Florida. How tough 467 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: was that for you? Guys? Is a defense knowing that 468 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: predominantly you did your job for sixty minutes, but you 469 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: still weren't able to come away with a victory. I 470 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 1: mean there was a big moment for the defense. We 471 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: obviously stepped up. We challenged each other all week and uh, 472 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,479 Speaker 1: you know, we replied, we responded to that challenge, and uh, 473 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: you know, it showed in the game that everybody prepared 474 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: great during the week, and you know, we we came 475 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: out and executed during the on Sunday, and at the 476 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: same time, we were obviously disappointed with the loss. But 477 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: at the same time, we're not the type of team 478 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: who's gonna point fingers and a point other fingers on 479 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: other guys on the on the team, and so with that, 480 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 1: so you know, even though we did good, like there 481 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: were still guys like, man, we left this play out there, 482 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: like we we could have scored on this play, and like, 483 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: you know, we're just like, even though we had a 484 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: great game on defense, we were still looking at what 485 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: we could have done better. That's what I just was 486 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: gonna ask you, because Mondays around the National Football League, 487 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: you guys come in and usually have a walkthrough and 488 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: go through your mistakes. I didn't see too many mistakes 489 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: in the field Sunday. Yeah, See, that was what was 490 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: huge about our the way we played this Sunday is that, um, 491 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of times we'll we'll play great, 492 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: but then sometimes a guy will have a mental era 493 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 1: here and it just creates a big gap. And then 494 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: sometimes a guy will just misread this and they will 495 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: create a big play. And I think that's what we 496 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: executed well as a defense, is that everybody just knew 497 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: their assignment. We had a super simple game plan going 498 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: into the game, and uh, you know, we executed at 499 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 1: a high level and we're able to play superfess now, 500 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: you know, I know there's times as a defense when 501 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: the offense may pick up for you. The defense yesterday 502 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: picked up for the offense. Is it hard to keep 503 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: the guys together when you play, when you play have 504 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: such a dominant performance defensively and still come up short, Yeah, 505 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: it's hard. You you start to see guys um, you 506 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: know not all the time. Like like I was saying 507 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: about our team, we're the type that, you know, even 508 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: if we lost the game and we played great, we're 509 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: still gonna see like players that we could have made. 510 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's hard to like tell 511 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: guys like, man, even though we played great, we lost, 512 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: and uh, you know a lot of guys didn't feel 513 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 1: like we lost because we feel like we dominated the 514 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: other team across the line from us, and then we 515 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: still came away when we looked at the scoreboard with 516 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: the with the w I mean, with the loss, and uh, 517 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: you know, it was kind of hard you gotta bring 518 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: the guys together and be like, you know, we can't 519 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: let this diminish uh, you know, our team and diminish 520 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: our play, and we gotta keep coming and uh you know, 521 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: grow from this and uh you know, continue to play 522 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: this way as a defense and then uh, knowing that 523 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: our offense is gonna come along with it. You know 524 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,239 Speaker 1: what I mean. Leo, you went to USC. Do you 525 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: have any words of advice for young quarterback Sam Dartle 526 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: after he experienced a bump in the road like he 527 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: did Sunday against the Dolphins with the four interceptions. Yeah, 528 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: I mean, as if I'm talking to Sam, I would 529 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,479 Speaker 1: just say, you know, keep your head strong, keep fighting. 530 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: You know, that's what we do at SCS, fight on. 531 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: Uh you know he knows that, and uh, you know, 532 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: he's the type of guy who he loves to get better. Uh, 533 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: even when he's at the top, he's trying to see 534 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,719 Speaker 1: what he can grow from and how he can keep growing. 535 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: And I'm sure he's gonna take a lot away from 536 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: this game and continue to grow as a great player 537 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, just stay at it. Do you 538 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: do you feel as a defense, you know, as a 539 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: leader of the defense that having a rookie quarterback who 540 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: hasn't seen at all that you guys have to over 541 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: you know, pretty much overdo what you would normally have 542 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: to do. I go above and beyond force some turnovers 543 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: get put points on the board. Do you feel like 544 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: that as a defense? I mean, I feel like we're 545 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: always gonna look that as a defense no matter how 546 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,719 Speaker 1: many game changing players we have an offense, we can 547 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: have the best offense in the in the world, and 548 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: our defense is still gonna feel like, let's put the 549 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: weight on our back. So you know, that's what I 550 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 1: love about our defense. We're gonna come out and attack 551 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: and feel like we're the best thing on the on 552 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: the field at all times. And uh, you know, I 553 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: love playing for this team. And uh, you know, like 554 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: you said, sometimes the offense is gonna pick up the 555 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,719 Speaker 1: slack for the defense. Sometimes the defense is gonna pick 556 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: up the slack for the offense, and uh, you know, 557 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: it's kind of what happened in this past game. Defense 558 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: was trying to pick it up and just keep him rolling. 559 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: And you know, sometimes we'll make a huge playoff defense 560 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: that we'll get the offense going to create some some 561 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: hype for them and they'll charge on the field, so 562 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: you know, it all works together. That's why it's a team. 563 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: You know. Do you take pride in your durability and availability? 564 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: I think that's yesterday against the Dolphins was fifty seventh 565 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 1: consecutive start. I don't even know that, but I do 566 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: take pride in that. Actually, and uh, you know a 567 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: guy that I inspired me when I first was a 568 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: rookie was the britishaw and uh, you know, he had 569 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 1: some similar stats. We were actually a lot bigger stats. 570 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: Is that like he went a few consecutive years without 571 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: he missed one snamp and his entire career and they 572 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: talk about it, yeah, they talk about special teams or yeah. 573 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: So whenever I heard that, I was like, man, that's impressive. 574 00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: And you know, I want to I want to be 575 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: that type of guy who can be available and ready 576 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: to go every game. You know, I don't want to 577 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,239 Speaker 1: miss a game, and uh, you know, even last year 578 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: I played through some injury and stuff like that just 579 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: because I want to be available for my teammates. What 580 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,239 Speaker 1: kind of stuff do you do to take care of 581 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: your body? I mean, do you do yoga? You know, massage, therapy? 582 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: What do you do to keep your body safe. Yeah, 583 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: I was actually introduced to yoga um a few years ago, 584 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: and that's something I've been trying to keep up with 585 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 1: as much as possible. Just keep my body limber and 586 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: flexible and stuff like that. And before the game, I 587 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: have a whole routine acupuncture.

Before the game Sunday at hard Rock Stadium, 610 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: you had an emotional moment with one of your biggest fans. 611 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: Who was that and can you tell us a little 612 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: bit about your dad and where he's been and what 613 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: that moment was like for you yesterday? Uh, yeah, that 614 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: was a really big moment. Um. I haven't seen my 615 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: dad since I was fourteen, and that's when I first 616 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: started playing football. Actually was when I got to high 617 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: school at fourteen, so he got to see me play 618 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: um for j V high school football and then after 619 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: that went to prison, and uh, I haven't seen him 620 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: since then. And uh it's been ten years now and 621 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: I'm twenty four. I'm a full grown man now, so 622 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: it's like fundy for him to see me because he's 623 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: still treating me like a little kid and I'm like, hey, 624 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: I'm a man now, dad, Like you know what I mean. 625 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: But It was pretty cool. Man. He seemed like he 626 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: was pretty emotional and uh, you know, he seems like 627 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: he's in a good place and you know, happy to 628 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: be back out there and watching me play. He had 629 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: my Pro Bowl jersey on and all that stuff, and 630 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: I got him some field passes for him to come 631 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: on the field and get the full experience. And you know, 632 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: it was pretty big moment. You had a chance to 633 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: spend some time with them Saturday too, didn't Yeah, we 634 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: got in around like five thirty on Saturday, and we 635 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: had meetings around eight, so I had some time to 636 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: go to dinner with uh, you know, with my dad 637 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: and his sister and some of my siblings. Man, that 638 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: was emotional. You know when even when you talk about 639 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: it now kind of get you choked up. That's a 640 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: that's a beautiful thing. But you know, going through the 641 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,959 Speaker 1: circumstances of growing up without your father being in prison, 642 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: it's two part question. How did you stay in the 643 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: straight and narrow, do the right thing, make the right decisions? 644 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: And also, I know you do a lot in the community. 645 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: What do you tell kids going through your situation that 646 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: you went through. Um, you know, I will start with 647 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: the first part of the question is how how did 648 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: I stay on track? As uh, you know, just from 649 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: my mom, she was a strong, strong woman. She Uh 650 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: she was a nurse and worked you know, like nine 651 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: to five, like all all day, every day, and uh, 652 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: I was the middle out of five children. So like 653 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: to see her be able to take care of five 654 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: women on her own, Like, I mean, five children on 655 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: her own, I was like, man like, if she can 656 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: do all this, and you know, I can get up 657 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: in the morning and go to workouts and uh go 658 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: to school and stuff like that. So she was a 659 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: big motivation for me. And then, like as all players 660 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: would probably say, a lot of mentors that have been 661 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: in and out of my life. Um, you know, I 662 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: had a great high school head coach who um you know, 663 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: I got huge senior itis my senior year and like 664 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: stopped coming to school and stuff after this after the 665 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: season was over, and uh, he like really just got 666 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: on me one time and started picking me up every 667 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,959 Speaker 1: morning and taking me like making sure he went out 668 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: his way to make sure that I was at school. 669 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,239 Speaker 1: So it's like guys like that that have always been 670 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: in my life at the right time, at the right moments, 671 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: that have a guided me and helped me get to 672 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: where I wanted to be. It's never by myself. You know, 673 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: you moved around a bunch. You weren't Sacramento, Michigan, Arizona 674 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: all before you were even ten years old.

Like, um, I think it 685 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: definitely helped me grow to like who I am today. 686 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: Like I'm super adaptable just because I've been able to 687 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: move around so much and like meet new friends and 688 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: meet new people and uh being a whole new environment 689 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: and circumstances and adapt you know what I mean.

So you know, we may not think it's 739 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: that huge when we just say something small to a kid, 740 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: or like do a little football camp or you know, 741 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: go to a juvenile to center and like be there 742 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: for like three hours and that's it. But it's huge 743 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: to these kids, Like they remember it, and uh, you 744 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: know it helps them sometimes that they're going through a 745 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: hard time. They remember like, oh, this guy was successful 746 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: and he went through the same thing I went through, 747 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: So why can't I you know what I mean, you 748 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: did not have to look far for somebody to look 749 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: up to, because you told us before coming on the 750 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: air tonight, Leo, that your mother couldn't even come to 751 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:58,439 Speaker 1: the game in Miami yesterday because she was working her 752 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: job as a nurse. That just shows what kind of 753 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 1: work ethic she has. Yeah, my whole family has been 754 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: like that, even though my dad went to prison. Um, 755 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: he was an engineer growing up, and uh, he was 756 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: a hard working guy, was always out of the house 757 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: before the sun even got up and stuff like that. 758 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: So you know, I've definitely seen a lot of hard 759 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 1: work from my parents, and uh, you know, once I 760 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,760 Speaker 1: started playing football, I got addicted to the grind almost 761 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: like it was kind of addicting, like working out that 762 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 1: like that much, you know what I mean.

And 765 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: it was easy for me to focus on something good 766 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 1: when there's a lot of bad happening that home, you 767 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 1: know what I mean, no doubt about it. I think people, 768 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 1: a lot of people, youngsters growing up and looking at 769 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 1: their situations and saying, you know, I got trouble, so 770 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 1: they can look up to somebody like you who is 771 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 1: in his fourth year in the National Football League.

Very productive player for this 830 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: team and he plays a tough position. I know everybody's 831 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: always talking about sacks. With Leonard, he brings a lot 832 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 1: to the table. Man. Yeah, I mean you can. You 833 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 1: can feel his leadership, you know, and his passion for 834 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 1: the game, and it's infectious and it's in and it's 835 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,720 Speaker 1: rubbed off on a lot of players on this team. 836 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: And they're gonna need leaders like Leinner to continue to 837 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: grow and to continue to have the success. You know, 838 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: we talked about Jamal Adams going off after the game, 839 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,760 Speaker 1: not accepting losing. That's the kind of attitude you need 840 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 1: in an organization if you want to continue to grow 841 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: and have success. Yeah, and I think when this team 842 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: ultimately does turn the corner, he's gonna be a big 843 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: reason why. And Leonard is more than just sacks, because 844 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,400 Speaker 1: I know people are are always gonna look at his 845 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,879 Speaker 1: sec totals. But just talk about the challenges of being 846 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 1: a three four interior alignment and the attention you get 847 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,239 Speaker 1: there any responsibilities. Yeah, it's tough. You know, you don't 848 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 1: get the notoriety that the four three defensive lineman get because, yeah, 849 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: you're never coming free. Yeah, it's a three or four 850 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: defensive end. You're lined up inside the tackle, inside the 851 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:45,800 Speaker 1: tight end most of the time. As soon as the 852 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 1: ball snapped, you have four hands on you. You know 853 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: you're getting double teams. You have to hold your gap. 854 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,720 Speaker 1: It's hard to get penetration. So you know, for Leonard 855 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,239 Speaker 1: to to have success, to get sacks, to make those 856 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,920 Speaker 1: tackles for Laws, he has to be defeat two guys 857 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,839 Speaker 1: to three pounders right now. And that's why he's talking 858 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,919 Speaker 1: about using his long arms to his advantage. He gets 859 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: gets his arms on the guys, moves one player, it 860 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,879 Speaker 1: has the strength to get through and you know, it's 861 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 1: it's just awesome to watch. I was encouraged by the 862 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 1: Jets pass rush against the Dolphins. They got to us 863 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: while theer four times and when there was blood in 864 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: the water, they got after it because Juwan James starting 865 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,800 Speaker 1: right tackle for the Dolphins, one out and then Jordan 866 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,319 Speaker 1: Jenkins started eating. Yeah he did. And that's what you 867 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: have to do. You have to spot the weakness of 868 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: the opponent. And I think this defensive line has taken 869 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 1: it upon themselves to get pressure out of the quarterback, 870 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 1: get tackles for loss, playing the opposing team's backfield, and 871 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: I think they've done a great job all year and 872 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 1: that really sets the tone for your defense and makes 873 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 1: life a lot easier for those linebackers. What do you 874 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,320 Speaker 1: think about this ball game coming up? The Buffalo Bills 875 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 1: two and seven. Their on offense, and people think the 876 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: Jets are struggling offensively. The Bills are another level right now, 877 00:40:55,440 --> 00:41:00,160 Speaker 1: but they play good defensive football and you could be 878 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 1: involved in a dog fight here on Sunday, Yeah, playing 879 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,680 Speaker 1: against Buffalo. You know, no matter what the year is, 880 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 1: that team is always physical, They're always strong, they're always 881 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: sound on defense, play one on special teams, and that 882 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 1: that does make for a dog fight. You know, the 883 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,400 Speaker 1: Jets have to be prepared to come in here and 884 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: and fight at the beginning of the game. At least. 885 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 1: Then you might make some big plays and start to 886 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: separate later in the game. Before the first three quarters. 887 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:23,719 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fight, you know. And they've done 888 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: that the whole year. They've They've been in pretty much 889 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,960 Speaker 1: every game with you know, not last week, well every 890 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 1: other game they I think the Bears didn't even have 891 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,359 Speaker 1: two yards of total offense against the Bills, but they 892 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: continually turned the football over. Nathan Peterman has been an 893 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:44,320 Speaker 1: interception machine throughout his NFL career. We have no idea 894 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,400 Speaker 1: who's gonna be quarterback for the Bills. It could be Peterman, 895 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,880 Speaker 1: it could be Derek Anderson, or it could be Josh Allen. 896 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 1: I anticipate Allen not playing. He's dealing with an arm 897 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: issue and the Bills have a buy next week. I 898 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 1: don't think you want to rush a rookie order back 899 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: right back in the line up. No, you definitely don't 900 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: want to do that. And if you're the Jets defense, 901 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,319 Speaker 1: you have to smell that blood in the water. But 902 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: at the at the at the beginning of the game, 903 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 1: you just have to start off doing your job. Just 904 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 1: play your just pay, do your job. Don't try to 905 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,760 Speaker 1: force mistakes because quarterbacks, when you start getting after the quarterback, 906 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 1: when Leonard starts hitting them, they're gonna make mistakes. They're 907 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 1: gonna start getting nervous in the pocket. That's when you 908 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: start throwing the balls up and you start taking advantage 909 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 1: of those players and getting those turnovers. Yeah, the Jets 910 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,839 Speaker 1: defense has an opportunity to dominate this ball game because 911 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 1: the Bills aren't beginning any push up front. Their old 912 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 1: line is mediocre at best. Their wide receivers with Calvin 913 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 1: Benjamin Z jones Um and company, they have struggled throughout 914 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,320 Speaker 1: the two thousand eighteen season. But like I said, the 915 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,359 Speaker 1: Bills post some problems defensively, so we'll have to see 916 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 1: what happens. E this hour goes by so quickly. We 917 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 1: want to thank Michelle back in the studio, justin of 918 00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:01,959 Speaker 1: course on hand every week here and Frank the tank 919 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 1: Bree Olivia was an attendance, and of course all the 920 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: service members.
