00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: Eric kind of you have a very special guest who

7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: just made the second moment ago. That's right, Larry. Let's

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: let's bring in the agelest one, Kelvin Pace, who just

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: reminded me he's in his NFL season. Calvin, thanks for

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: joining us, well, thanks for having me. Kelvin. You've played

11
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: against the Patriots so many times in your career and

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: you've been part of this rivalry for a long time.

13
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: What stands out from yesterday's ball game? Uh, Tom Brady

14
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: did it again so us. You know, we just the

15
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, he kind of heat it up on us

16
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: and we just uh, we couldn't get up to field

17
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: a couple of times. But it always comes out to

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: the same factor, trying to defend him and get for

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: showing him. Um find a way to get up the field,

20
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: and that's where it always starts. You know, Calvin, it's

21
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: funny because you talked about it and the guys talked

22
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: about it before. It is so tough to get off

23
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: the field on third down with them, and part of

24
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: it is because of what they do on earlier downs

25
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: that sometimes makes that third down on occasion a little

26
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: more manageable for them. Yeah, yeah, you gotta do. You

27
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: have to do a good job in first and second

28
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: down to make that third down longer than say seven yards.

29
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: Make it tough for him. Um, I think that helps

30
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: us out up front getting to him. Um. He gives

31
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: the guys on the back end a little bit more

32
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: time to uh, to stay on them on their man.

33
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: But again, I mean, you have a Hall of Fame

34
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: quarterback who can squeeze throws and windows who you know.

35
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking about my age with Now he's scrambling.

36
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: He added that to his game. I'm like, you know,

37
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: back in the day, you know, he just used to

38
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: stand back there, but now he's gonna have to pocket

39
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: a little bit. So he he always finds a way

40
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: to make a play. But it's just that that's the

41
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: challenge to try to find a way to maybe confuse

42
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: him or to get to him. Um, get him off

43
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: the spot. You know, it's it's a game within the game.

44
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: Did they attack you differently in the second half? Obviously

45
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: the offense help you guys in the first half of

46
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: those long drives, the fifteen play the four team play drives.

47
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: And did fatigue be cam become an issue at all

48
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: late for you guys? You know, I don't. I don't

49
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: think fatigue was an issue. I just think that, Um,

50
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: a guy stepped up for and may plays when they counted,

51
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: and Um, it's just a couple instance when we just

52
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: could have got off the field, I think it would

53
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: have been a different outcome. Um. But with that being said,

54
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about that today. Guys understand they understanding,

55
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: They understood it going into the game. Um, you know,

56
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: you live and you learn. I think it'll it'll help

57
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: us actually moving forward, UM, just to to to build

58
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: off the situation and and go out and play a

59
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: tough open team. Why do you think it will help you?

60
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: And what did you learn about this New York Jets team? Well,

61
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I know we're a fight I know we

62
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: we were not afraid to go on roads win games. Um,

63
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: but it just shows if you have to play four quarters.

64
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: You can't play three great quarters and um, you know,

65
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: lit off the gas on what now you gotta play

66
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: four quarters? And especially with a team like that who's

67
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: done that consistently. We we just have to find a

68
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: way to win that game. Man. It could be special

69
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: team play, it could be uh Chris breaks, a long

70
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: run would have It doesn't matter, but we just had

71
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: to find a way. As you go longer in your career,

72
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: is it easier to put a game like that behind you,

73
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: look at the film and then move on to the

74
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: next team. Yeah, yeah, I mean you know again, you

75
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: gotta spoke on it. I've done it so many times

76
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: against it, against them, so I kind of you already

77
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: know how the story is gonna be scripted. It's gonna

78
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: come down to the last drive for one of the teams. Um,

79
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: but again I've learned to try to take positives, um

80
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: out of woodmen might be looked at as a negative

81
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: as in the loss, and um, you just gotta keep moving.

82
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: I mean, if least come so quick, gotta be able

83
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: to put it behind you. Um, and you can't live

84
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: one loss turning the two losses. She's gotta keep moving forward.

85
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: And how much confidence do you have in the guys

86
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: in that room and your leader, Todd Bowles as far

87
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: as saying, hey, that was yesterday. We corrected mistakes, but

88
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: we've already moved on because the media, as you know,

89
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: is gonna discuss this with you. Yeah, they might even

90
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,239
Speaker 1: bring up the Patriots on one day. But you guys

91
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: going there, you make your corrections today and you're already

92
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: in Oakland. Felt Yeah, it's already been spoken upon. You

93
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: have to move on. But I think coach Bowles did

94
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,559
Speaker 1: a great job just saying this is just game six.

95
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like the Super Bowl. Um, it's

96
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: it's the most important game because it's the next game.

97
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: I think that's a great way to look at it.

98
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: I think win lose. With draw, he would have had

99
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: the same um reaction. You know, he's pretty even killed.

100
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: So she gotta keep moving even if we were one,

101
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: He's gotta keep moving forward. Confenations, our guests, Let's talk

102
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: a little bit now about the mindset of going to Oakland. Preparation, travel,

103
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: leaving the day early. But what goes into preparing for

104
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: Oakland from a travel stample, Oh not a lot really,

105
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you got just pack your bag a day earlier,

106
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: you know, get ready for a little time change. But

107
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, we've got enough guys in the locker room

108
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: who've done it, maybe not the way we do it,

109
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: but they've had experience scoring from east to west. The

110
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: biggest difference is just your rest. Just keep up with

111
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: your rest, stay on point. Um. I mean, I know

112
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: guys will compare the same way as far as film

113
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: and knowing what the game plan is, but that's that's

114
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: probat it just keeping up on rest. And I mean

115
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: the beauty of it is if you get a chance

116
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: to watch college football, um all day because the games

117
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: are earlier, you know, a great time. You big college

118
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: football fan, of course you want to wake forth. Yeah. Yeah,

119
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: we were not doing to uther, but I'm a huge

120
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: college football family. Yeah. And who do you think, uh,

121
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: the top teams this year right now? If you were

122
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: selecting the top four, yeah, the playoff, if you were

123
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: on the committee, who who would you having in it?

124
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: Right now? You gotta go how State. I would have

125
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: said Baylor too, with the quarterbacks out for the year,

126
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: but the freshman is gonna be pretty good. I think, Yeah,

127
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting. Um, gotta go TCU I'm gonna

128
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: go Clemson and ah, lets you okay, I took I

129
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: took Baylor out because of the quarterback. All right, yeah, Ale,

130
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: you got a big one with Bama in a couple

131
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: of weeks. Yeah. Uh. Do you agree with the Urban

132
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: Myers troice of starting quarterback? He had to do it.

133
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: He had to do it. I think, Uh, with the

134
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: weapons they had, I think they needed like a true

135
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: quarterback that type of field. I think I like I

136
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: like t Be because he can move the ball in

137
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: the air, but he can run when called upon. Um.

138
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Jones had the bigger upside, but

139
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: they just they just wentn't clicking. Now. Of course you

140
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: want to awake. And you started a career with the

141
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,119
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals and then you signed a big free agent

142
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: contract with the New York Jets. Do you remember your

143
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: visit because I remember you coming in like it was yesterday.

144
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: The Jets took you up in the helicopter to show

145
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: you the area. Didn't there. Yeah it was. That's the

146
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: best recruiting visit I had, even even to count of

147
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: my college visits. Um. And I made a call that night.

148
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm coming, I'll be I'll be a jet.

149
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: But it was a day, a weekend that that I'll

150
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: never forget. Um. You know a lot of people don't remember,

151
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: don't know this, but Dave Harris was my host, and

152
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: I always make fun of him because he was, uh,

153
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: he was getting a littlenauseous on the plane. Man, I

154
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,280

177
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: you know, having that quick memory. You just gotta keep

178
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: moving because before you know, it wouldn't be December. You know,

179
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,280

180
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: are always gonna say football's football. But what's the most

181
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: significant different or aspect of this system? Would you say? Um?

185
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: just different faces, Um, some different verbiage, but the same.

186
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: It's an attacking based scheme. Um, good front seven rely

187
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: on the back end of covering. Um, It's it's the same.

188
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,800

190
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,600

191
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: year the ups and the downs carried over to this

192
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: year got better and then we had to addison pieces.

193
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: And it's just it's been working. It has been and

194
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,240
