It's gotta bet I gotta imagine it 17 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: must have been a whirlwind. Yeah, it's been truly incredible. 18 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: I mean every it's been everything I've dreamed of since 19 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 1: that boy and uh, you know, the past three weeks. 20 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: It's been a big learning curve just because, um, when 21 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: you get those real game reps and you're going again 22 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: in such a great competition, um, and you're surrounded by 23 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: great players, um my guys like C. J. Moseley, Jamal Adams. 24 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: You just feel yourself. You see yourself learning so much 25 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: so fast, and UM that's mentally and physically, um, getting 26 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: better every day. We're gonna be taking your calls later 27 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 1: here on inside the Jets eight three seven, seven six. 28 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: Blake Cashman joins us right off the bat the Jets, 29 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: Oh win three. You didn't get the results you wanted 30 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: against New England. That was your first experience against perhaps 31 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback in the history of our game in 32 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. What was that like for you out there 33 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: on the field at Gillette and you guys took those 34 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: first three punches, they scored on consecutive possessions out of 35 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: the gate, and then you seem to study the ship 36 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: so to speak. Yeah, like you just said, we definitely 37 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: got off to a rough start and defensively started to 38 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: figure it out a little bit. Uh. Tom Brady, like 39 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: you said, he's a great quarterback, great player and definitely 40 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: provides challenges for you know, any team, any defense. I 41 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: think it was just one of those things that after 42 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: those three drives, after they scored, we kinda gotten a rhythm. 43 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 1: We started getting a feel for what they're doing offensively. 44 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: But when you're playing a guy like Tom Brady, he 45 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: reads a defense so well and he dissects the defense, 46 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: and uh, new England scheme, you know they're gonna attack 47 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: players instead of schemes. So um, you just gotta be 48 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: very aware of what they're doing and what they're gonna 49 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 1: go back to. And um, as a game went on, 50 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: we started to slowly figure that out. But I was 51 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: one of those things that you know, the time was 52 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: working against us, and uh, you know we compete the time, 53 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: and they ended up getting a good jump on us. 54 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: They seem to get you on a couple of plays 55 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 1: earlier where there were some coverage bus out there. I 56 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: think about the play to the tight end is so 57 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: right off the bat a third and short where he's 58 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 1: running free and he gets that chunk gainer the Philip 59 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: Door set touchdown. Um do you point to I know 60 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: everybody's always asking at home, well, why did that happen? 61 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: Why do we see runners going free? Lack of execution 62 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: or sometimes you guys gotta maybe make some checks at 63 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: the line and get out of a play. Yeah, there's 64 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: a lot of things that are watching on TV that 65 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: you don't see when you're on the field. But what 66 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: New England did really well against us, and they actually 67 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: lead the league in this is with motions and shifts 68 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: and that's too uh disrupt defensive player's eyes and their 69 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: keys and uh try to confuse them as much as possible. 70 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: So on that play, um, you know, we we had 71 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: a call and the uh tight end blocks out the 72 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: guy in the allt of scrimmerg geens to man him. 73 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: But the way it was timed up and everything, um, 74 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: it just confused us. And it was a vacation in 75 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: New England was able to get a big playoff that. 76 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: So what do you think happened though after those three 77 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: initial shots where you guys were able to say, okay, 78 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: you know, we gotta we we gotta stop the bleeding, 79 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: so to speak. Yeah, we so we went to the 80 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: side and we really talked about just going back back 81 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: home is what we say. And um, that's just going 82 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: to our basic fundamentals and technique and you know those 83 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: are things that we've worked on since O t a 84 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: s back in the spring. So um, we just try 85 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: to uh play basic football at that point out. I'll 86 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: be very disciplined with our assignments and that just allowed 87 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: us to I think, play faster and more confident. Inside 88 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: The Jets is supported by MMC Bank, the official community 89 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: bank of your New York Jets. Here with Blake Cashman 90 00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: at Vanderbilts Sports and Spirits, you are an exam powle 91 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: of what has happened in the New York Jets here 92 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: early this season, because I think the team overall has 93 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: taken some lumps because of a number of injuries. But 94 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: a guy like yourself has grown so much in the 95 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: first three weeks that we're gonna be talking about it 96 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: later in the season. That improved depth of this football team. 97 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: Have you seen guys like yourself grow during these times 98 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: of adversity? Absolutely, And I think, uh, when you are 99 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: faced with adversity, I think that challenge is what you 100 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: know pushes you to grow and become um better a 101 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: lot faster, and um, I've seen it with myself and 102 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,679 Speaker 1: other guys from just because Coach Gaze always talks about 103 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: it that you know when somebody goes down this league, 104 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: which is guaranteed to happen, um, which is how physical 105 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: it is, that there's got to be the next man up. 106 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: And it's your responsibility as a backup to be ready 107 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: for when your name is called, because at any moment 108 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: in a game or even during the week when you're 109 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: preparing and practice, uh, your number might be called and 110 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: you got to step up. In Every starter and player 111 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: on the team expects you to uh step into that 112 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: role and take on the responsibility and do your assignment, 113 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: um the right way. It did not take long for 114 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: us to find out why the Jets gave C. J. 115 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: Mosley a huge contract in the off season, pick six 116 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: a funnel recovery. Then there in the second half against 117 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills in Week one, he makes a hell 118 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: of a play that prevents a touchdown pass from Josh 119 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: Allen to John Brown. I don't think a lot of 120 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: middle linebackers in the National Football League could have made 121 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: that play at all. Unfortunately, he goes down with the 122 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: groin injury. At that moment. What happens with you on 123 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: the sideline? Well, I knew right then, uh that I 124 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: had to be ready because uh, you know he walked 125 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: out the back of the end zone and uh, coach 126 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: Bush lineback coaches did Cashman go? And um, you know, 127 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: I think the coach is a great job preparing players 128 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: all week and you know, I felt like I was 129 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: comfortable with every call that was gonna be giving my way. Uh. 130 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: But you know, it's football, and one, especially when it's 131 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: that late in the game, you're kind of already in 132 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: a rhythm and in a flow. So, um, you just 133 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: go out there and it's just like playing literally when 134 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: you're located. Um, you just gotta ignore all the all 135 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: the hype that in the noise outside of it all. 136 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: So Greg Williams, your defensive coordinator, always preaches the importance 137 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: of cross training. In your case, you gotta learn how 138 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: to be the mic linebacker because I think in the 139 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: summer they were taking a look at you there, but 140 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: also the will linebacker and over the past couple of 141 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: weeks of course now, but you it's the guy in 142 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: the middle playing to Mike and you're playing the will. 143 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:46,239 Speaker 1: So tell us what goes into being on the inside 144 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: being the signal call and then also playing a week side. Uh, 145 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: just different responsibilities on the field, you know, the mic 146 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: linebackers in charge of getting everybody aligned and getting the 147 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: call and make sure everybody knows what's going on for 148 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: that giving play. And uh, like you said, you know, 149 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: you might be the third linebacker uh in the depth chart. Um, 150 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: if somebody goes down, you might have played different position 151 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: or bump forward to a different position, depending on you know, 152 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: how much experience you've had and um, how much under 153 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: knowledge and understanding you have of that different position or 154 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: that different role. Um. So you know, we we work 155 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: all the time challenge each other as players to understand 156 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: different positions that we could possiblyly have to fulfill, just 157 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: in case an injury like that happened. Okay, So what 158 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: does the term run fits mean? Because against Buffalo, maybe 159 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: out of place a couple of times there's a group 160 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: and Devin Singletary found some gashes there in the fourth quarter. 161 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 1: But you guys have been on it the last two 162 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: weeks against the Cleveland Browns and the New England Pages. 163 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: A lot of people aren't pointing to the fact of 164 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: the strength of the run defense, but the last two 165 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: weeks it's been there. Yeah. Well, we worked a lot 166 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 1: of in practice, just working you know, gap schemes, and 167 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: uh offensive linemen pulling just drills like that, because UH, 168 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: that was a problem that Buffalo gave us the first 169 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: game is they pull one or two linemen and uh 170 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: they get extra hats um over to one side of 171 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: the ball where they're running it, and UM, we weren't 172 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,719 Speaker 1: filling those gaps fast enough. So the past two weeks 173 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: we've been working on that to make sure it doesn't 174 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 1: happen again. So, UM, fifth round pick out of Minnesota. 175 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: You have a tremendous story because you were a very 176 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: good basketball player and football player, and you actually coming 177 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: out of high school you were deciding whether, hey, am 178 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: I gonna pursue my football career or maybe I'll go 179 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: play bull sports at a small school. So what ultimately 180 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: led you to Minnesota really was one factor, and that 181 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: was you know what if Uh, I remember sitting there 182 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: thinking about making my decision, and I knew if I 183 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: would have gone to a smaller school or to a 184 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: school where I knew, you know, wouldn't be as challenging, 185 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: where I'd probably be playing a lot more and uh, 186 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: can could continue to be that star athlete that I 187 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: was in high school. Um, I look back once college 188 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: was over and and say what if I would have 189 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: you know, taken a leap of faith and went and 190 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: challenged myself a little bit more and walked on at 191 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: Minnesota and been able to play on such a big stage. 192 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: And Um, I didn't want to live with that guilt, 193 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: so I took a chance at myself, and UM, you 194 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: know very happy I didn't. Yeah, paid off, no doubt 195 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: about it. You were a walker on there and then 196 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: ultimately you earned that scholarship. What was that moment like 197 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 1: when when they announced that were you in a team meeting? 198 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 1: Because a lot of times now when you get the 199 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: cameras out and we're able to capture these magical moments 200 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: for guys like yourself will work your way up from 201 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: maybe being a scout team player to a special team's 202 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: contributor and then you are a key guy on defense 203 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: and ultimately become a guy who was draft a ball 204 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: and now you're starting for the New York Jets. Yeah, 205 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: it's a it's a cool story, and you know, it's 206 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: one of those things I hope I can you know, 207 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: inspire other kids, uh that we're are in are going 208 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: to be in my position, and you know, it's a 209 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: really special moment. When I got my scholarship, and you know, 210 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: the number one one thing that stood out to me 211 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: was just the the love that I felt for my teammates. 212 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: You know, they almost seemed more excited for me than 213 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: I was excited for myself. And um, that's when you 214 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: know you've got you know, special teammates, a good group 215 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: of guys, and um, that's what playing football, playing sports 216 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: is all about, is that brotherhood, that family within a team. 217 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 1: Does the by now come in a good moment for 218 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 1: you guys, considering the number of injuries you dealt with 219 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: your earliness season, I know a guy like yourself probably 220 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: is like, let's keep let's let's keep up, pushing ahead. 221 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm just finding my groove here. Uh yeah, I think 222 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. You know, somebody likes to look at 223 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: the positive side things, and um, you know, it is 224 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: early by and most vets, I think would say they 225 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: wanted late in the season. But given our circule stands, Um, 226 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: you know, with the injuries and just off to a 227 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: rough start, I think it's a good time for us 228 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: to get an extra week to get healthy and then 229 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: you know, collect our thoughts and get really organized for Philly. 230 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: And um, trying to turn this thing around. What are 231 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: you planning on doing with your time off? Uh, spend 232 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: a little extra time in the weight room. You know, 233 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: it's important in the season to get your lips and 234 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: stuff in and um, you know, in the bye we 235 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: can take that time to keep your strength up and 236 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: then you know, just any nicks and bruises you got 237 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: get healed up. But, um, are you gonna go home? 238 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to Minnesota? I'm thinking about. I've 239 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: haven't made up my mind yet, but there are produe 240 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: this week, so you won't you went? Yeah, So that's 241 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: the thing. If they would have Minnesota have been playing 242 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: at at home, I definitely I think would have gone back. 243 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, it's good to get away from 244 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: it a little bit too, um, just to clear your 245 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: mind and kind of hit the reset button. Now. Hopefully 246 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: for the Jets, they're gonna get their quarterback on the 247 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball back against the Eagles because c. J. 248 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 1: Molesley is trending upwards, as is their quarterback on offensive 249 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: side of the ball. That's Sam Donald. We're speaking to 250 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: Black Cashman right now, who has served as an understudy 251 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: uh for c J. Mosley is also across training. He's 252 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: out there in the starting lineup playing wheat side linebacker 253 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: next to Novil hit right now, But I wanted to 254 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: ask you about Mosley. What's he like in the room 255 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: and how much do you absorb from him because if 256 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: you're walking around a complex, c J doesn't talk too much, 257 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: but when he talks, kind of like everybody kind of 258 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: gravitate story him. I think you nailed it when you 259 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: said it right there. You know, he's he's quiet, sucepoking guy. 260 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: But um, when he does talk, it's it's something very important. 261 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: You better listen. And uh, you know, it's great having 262 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: him in the linebacker room, especially being a rookie because 263 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: it's like having a second coach in the room and 264 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: to have somebody that's a player slash coach and who's 265 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: actually on the field seeing those live game time reps, 266 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: are in practice reps. Um, you know, he can kind 267 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: of give you some tips or feedback to help your 268 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: technique or help your assignment I think you have on 269 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: the field. So um, you know, he's definitely a guy 270 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: that's had a lot of success, will continue to have success. 271 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: And uh, he knows so much and in this game, 272 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 1: you've got to be a smart player. So uh, that's 273 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: why I sit right next to him in the meeting 274 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: room and start out as much as possible. Yeah, so 275 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: every time he goes in there, you're right next to him. Yeah, 276 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: what's it's? Uh, NEV, c J and I a little 277 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: pod together. And how is nevill stepped up into the mic? 278 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: Linebacker rolled too, because again we're talking about you, but 279 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: obviously he's the guy next deal and he's now calling 280 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: the signals when c J was out. Yeah, he's done 281 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: a wonderful job. I mean, you know what stands up 282 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: to me the most about him is just how tough 283 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: he is and how hard he works, and um, you 284 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: definitely see on on the field, but just you know 285 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: how fast he is and uh, he just he makes 286 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: decisive decisions and um, you know, he understands that we 287 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: have a lot of playmakers on on the defense, so 288 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: he wants to get the call out right away so 289 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: everyone get a line and we can just play confident 290 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: and play fast. And uh, he's definitely owned it. He's 291 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: you know, I've seen him spend a lot of extra 292 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: time with our position coach to you know, make sure 293 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: he understands the game plan because he knows he has 294 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: a big responsibility on his shoulders to make sure that 295 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: game plan is understood by the other ten guys in 296 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: the defense. Now you are a high motor guy. Greg 297 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: Williams demands one speed from his guys, and that's trek speed. Basically, 298 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: run everywhere, get to the football swarm. What has it 299 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: been like for you, not only in the meeting room, 300 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: but on game day with this guy as your coach 301 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: and he is he is the play caller and he 302 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: will get after the opponent in the parking lot. Yeah, 303 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: it's it's awesome as a player, just how fired up 304 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: he is. It just it brings an extra fire um 305 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: to each player. And uh, you know, it doesn't matter 306 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: who you are, whether you're a starter, back up, um, 307 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: a pro boy like he pushes everybody the same way, 308 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: and he challenges you every day in practice. I mean 309 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't even it doesn't matter if it's game, if 310 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: it's a full speed practice for pads or if it's 311 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: a walker.

Um, and 326 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: you know there's so much accountability. The players aren't afraid to, 327 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: you know, speak up and get after somebody for the 328 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: right reasons.

We 330 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: just gotta you know, put it all together. Uh and 331 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: you know execute on on game day. But um, we 332 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: we have the spirit there and I think, um, you 333 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: know that's important to have or else you're not gonna 334 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: be a great team. Now, the game's gonna continue to 335 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: slow down for you. That's what That's something that Jamal 336 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: Adams says, and he's a Pro Bowl player and he's 337 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: in a third year. But I know this question might 338 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: sound funny on the surface, but in your short time 339 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: out there, has it slowed down a little bit where 340 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: your eyes are better and you kind of understanding more 341 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: as far as how offensives are attacking you? Yeah, without 342 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: a question. I mean I've felt that different just from 343 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: our past game against New England and then uh, when 344 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: I first, you know, I had to step in and 345 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: get some defense snaps against Buffalo, I felt like I was, 346 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: you know, seeing things earlier, UM, anticipating things UM sooner, 347 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: and I just felt more comfortable out there. And when 348 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: you have that confidence, it just allows you to, you know, 349 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: play free, and that um eventually leads you to make plays. 350 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: Does it get you charged up thinking about the potential 351 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: what this team can be down the line? We're talking 352 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: about mostley near and return. Also Brandon Copeland outside linebacker, 353 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: serving a four game suspension right now, He's going to 354 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: be back. Jordan Jenkins opposite him, tied for the leading 355 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 1: sacks last year, was seven. A tremendous edge center against 356 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: the run, turn of things inside, a tough guy, he 357 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: missed the game against New England. He shouldn't be out 358 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: too long. Um. And then Aby Williams is not coming 359 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: back unfortunately with the A c L. But if you 360 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: think about the linebacker unit out there yesterday, it was 361 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: all guys slated to be reserve. Was at the beginning 362 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: of the year. And uh yeah, I mean to get 363 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: those guys bad guys that have played a lot of football. 364 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: I have a lot of experience. You know, they understand 365 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: the game. Uh. You know, you only can imagine the 366 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: possibilities of what we can do on defense. But what's 367 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: great is, you know, right now we have guys that, 368 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: like you said, our reserves, but they're getting that experience. 369 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: So you know, that could lead to more packages on defense. Um, 370 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: you know, bringing more pressure at the quarterback, just because 371 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: you guys, you rotate guys in and out with fresh legs. 372 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: So I think there's endless of possibilities of you know, 373 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: what we can achieve defensively. You encouraged by not only 374 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: what you're doing in the run game, but in the 375 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: past game because uh, it made a nice p D 376 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: against the Browns and then yesterday up the sideline against Burkhead, 377 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: you were all over him. You know we're talking about 378 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: your eyes, but athletically you have good speed and you 379 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: to me or prototypical linebacker. In terms of coverage, yeah, 380 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: I uh you know I love to get out and covered, 381 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: especially a man. Uh just something I like about that 382 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: one on one challenge man to man. But um, you 383 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: know it's g dub Greg Williams. He he likes to 384 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: get man coverage, you know, bring pressure to the quarterback 385 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: because um we that's all he wants to do is 386 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: you know, get after offenses. So um, you know, it's 387 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 1: one of those things that you gotta, you know, keep 388 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: working on and keep getting better because I know the 389 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: season goes on, he's gonna want to, uh you know, 390 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: keep bringing that pressure, keep that man coverage out there. Well, 391 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: Blake Ashman, You're off to a hell of a start 392 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 1: in your NFL career and only better days or ahead. 393 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: Enjoy the early buy.

So I had a you know, 417 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: get a clean shave and get some new new energy 418 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: flowing into it. So your first NFL start New England 419 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,959 Speaker 1: Patriots Gillette Stadium. Um, obviously you didn't get the result 420 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: that you wanted. When you got back to the complex today, 421 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: you took a little look at the film. What did 422 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: you see? You know, I thought it wasn't as bad 423 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: as it felt on the sideline. Um, you know, I 424 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: thought we had some good plays out there. It's just, 425 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: you know, kind of like we talked about last week. 426 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: We gotta make plays during those critical times, and we 427 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: gotta find a way to string along long drives to 428 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: flip the field position and score some points. So, um, 429 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 1: I think this bye week will be a good week 430 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: for us to regroup and get closer as a team 431 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: and then go out and get healthy and and uh 432 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: play a good game against Philly. How would you describe 433 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: the offensive system that Adam Gaze runs, Because you were 434 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: in Miami and Sam Donald was joking about it last week. 435 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: He said, hey, listen, Luke knows the system better than 436 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: I did. Well, I think it's a great system. I 437 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: think when everybody's on the same page, and um, you know, 438 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: I think when we're playing confident, it's a it's a 439 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: great system. Coach Gaye calls a great, great game, and uh, 440 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 1: you know, I think we're gonna be ready to roll. 441 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: I think, you know, these first three weeks good, good 442 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: learning lessons for us. But it's a long season. We 443 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: got a lot of games to play and uh, you know, 444 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: we got a lot of work to do. But I 445 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: think we got a good group and we're gonna be 446 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: able to get it done. I mean, butterflies or nerves 447 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: out there yesterday, I would imagine that would be natural 448 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: and for a lot of guys, they get those anytime 449 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: they step out in the football field. You handled yourself 450 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: very well against the Cleveland Browns in a relief appearance, 451 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: coming in for Trevor Simming. Complete it's twenty um yesterday, 452 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: first pass right off the bat fifteen yards of Jameson Crowder. Yeah, 453 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: you know, I felt good. I felt like just a 454 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: regular game. Uh. It really was just focus on things 455 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: that I can control and trying to do my job. 456 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: And obviously the result wasn't what we wanted. But you know, 457 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 1: looking back on the process, there's some good things. They're 458 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: some things to go to learn on and grow from, 459 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I'm only gonna get better. How 460 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: difficult is it for a quarterback in an NFL offense, 461 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: no matter who you're playing against, much less the Patriots, 462 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: where a lot of times you're facing third and longs. Yeah, 463 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: that's tough. I mean we talked about we want to 464 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: be in first and second down all day, and uh, 465 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: you know, if we do getting third and down, we 466 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,479 Speaker 1: want to make it third manageable, not third and eighteen, 467 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: third and twelve. So we just shot ourselves in the foot. 468 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: We gotta do a better job early in the downs, um, 469 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: and I think I think if we do that, we 470 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: we can put h a lot of points up and 471 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: definitely be more productive on third down. You don't make 472 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: a ton of mistakes out there from what I could 473 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: see obviously the interception, Yeah, I definitely want that one back. Well, 474 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: you said you want that one back. It happened in 475 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 1: the second half. What were you seeing and what did 476 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: you expect to see? I guess yeah, I mean it's 477 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: just one of those routes where uh, he got caught inside. 478 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: We're supposed to get back out. But it was a 479 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: stupid throw on my par Right as I let it go, 480 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: I knew I knew it was an air throw, and uh, 481 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: in that situation, just got to find the check down 482 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: and try to move the chains that way. So I think, 483 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: you know, overall, there's there's about three or four plays 484 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: that I, you know, I wish I could have back, 485 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: and that was definitely on the top of the list. Yeah, 486 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: and you guys are dealing with a lot right now 487 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: because you obviously practicing with the ones for just a 488 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: week of practice and third quarterback in as many games. 489 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: Then you got some changes on the outside when see 490 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,479 Speaker 1: noon what goes on the inte reserve to mary As 491 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: Thomas unable to suit up against his former team, to 492 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: New England Patriots, Chris hern is still out of the one. Hum, yeah, 493 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: you know that's the NFL adverse. He's gonna strike. And 494 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: you know, my dad always says success is how you recover, 495 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: and uh, we got a chance to recover here. So 496 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna see what type of team we're made of, 497 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: what type of grit we have, and uh, you know, 498 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 1: I'd be exciting. I think we're gonna grow together as 499 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: a team. And uh, you know, going around here, Sam 500 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,719 Speaker 1: Donald Luke is targeting a return against the Philadelphia Eagles 501 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: for our lists, You're gonna be ready to go. I 502 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: know that what has your interaction been like with Sam 503 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: of recent Nope, considering he goes down with the model 504 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: and he's such a competitor like yourself. He wants to 505 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: be on the field. Yeah, yeah, I know it's killing 506 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: him being on on the sidelines right now, especially right 507 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 1: now when he's feeling good. Um, you know, I think 508 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: Sam gonna have a good relationship and you know, he's 509 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: he's doing everything that he can to be out there 510 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: and help the team, and you know, I'm doing everything 511 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: I can to give us the best shot. So you know, 512 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: whenever he comes back, I'll do my best to help 513 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: him out. And and uh, you know, still preparing myself 514 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: when you're reviewing film and you're reviewing it with dol 515 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,479 Speaker 1: Adam and the rest of the quarterbacks or how does 516 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: that process work? Yeah, yeah, I mean during the meeting time, 517 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 1: everyone's in there and then after you know, as just 518 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: as quarterbacks will stay in there and reviewed ourselves. And 519 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: Sam has been in there and had some great points 520 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: last week that that really helped me out. And uh, 521 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: you know, I think we just try to feed off 522 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 1: each other, and you know, I think what's cool about 523 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: this quarterback room is everybody's rooting for each other and 524 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: everybody's just trying to help the guy that's playing. I 525 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: just talked to Blake about it, and this is something 526 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: that a lot of the players have talked about, Luke, 527 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 1: is that we have a group that likes each other, 528 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: that cares about each other, and we're not gonna break 529 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: no matter what happens here. Obviously not where you want 530 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:31,239 Speaker 1: to be here. Only three struggling offensively right now, but um, 531 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: there's a lot of belief in that locker. Yeah, I 532 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: think so. I think we know what we're capable of. 533 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: I think we know that tough times don't last, tough 534 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: people do, and uh, you know, we'll we'll see what 535 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: we're made of. I think we got some good competitors 536 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: with the guys that got a lot of grit, so 537 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: it'd be exciting. I'm I'm excited for the challenge. So 538 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: you talked about it during the week, and I know 539 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: you were asked about it a thousand times. I already 540 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: know what questions coming. Yeah, so so, but we we 541 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: we're on radio, so we gotta talk about it. Sixth 542 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 1: round pick out of Washington State, number one nine overall 543 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: in two thousand and eighteen. Tom Brady sixth round pick 544 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: out to Michigan UM number one overall. He was your 545 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: guy growing up, uh in Utah, wasn't it? He was? Yeah. 546 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: Now after the game, you know, somebody shot me over 547 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: a picture. There were some some weird similarities he started, 548 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 1: you know, his first game he started was his third 549 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: game in the second year at twenty four years old 550 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: and just pick. So it's just kind of weird in 551 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: that sense. But you know, it was fun being able 552 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: to go compete against him and uh, you know, shake 553 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: his hand after the game, after competing and you know, 554 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: idolizing him for so long. But you know, I'm in 555 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: the same legalism now and you know, I gotta be 556 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: a my own player, and but it was fun to 557 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: go out there and compete, and obviously we wish the 558 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: results were a little different, but at the same time, 559 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: you know, fun having the opportunity. Did he give it 560 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: any quick words of advice? Just gave me some encouragement 561 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: that I'll just keep between him and me, but I 562 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: definitely appreciate it. Yeah, I gotta imagine, uh, a memorable 563 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: moment for you that you're gonna be looking back at 564 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: um offensively. What do you think can you pick? Can 565 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: you pinpoint one thing that's stopping this unit right now. 566 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: You know, we talked about the injuries, but and you 567 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: you were quick to say every every team in the 568 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: national football it just didn't want that. Yeah, I mean, 569 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: I think for us, we just gotta be successful on 570 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: first and second down. We've got to have positive plays. Um. 571 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: Right now, we're just shooting ourselves in the foot too much. 572 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: We're having too many negative plays, whether it be penalty sacks. Um. 573 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: You know, just you know, unsuccessful runs at times right now. 574 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: So you know, for me, I can't I cantaly these sacks. 575 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: I gotta get the ball out of my hands. You know. Uh, 576 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: my old coach and in college you say every every 577 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: sax on the quarterback and I try to take that 578 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: to heart. So, um, you know, just from my perspective, 579 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: gotta be better at that. And uh, you know, I 580 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: think if we're better on first and second down, we're 581 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: gonna give ourselves a chance. I think you just made 582 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: a reference to Washington State coach Mike Leach. Yeah, Populi, 583 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: you're a walk on a Washington State We got about 584 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: forty five seconds. I know you could probably write a 585 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: book on Mike Leach. But what did you take from him, 586 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: and how did he help you get to this point? Yeah, 587 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: I mean I think from the football aspect, well, he 588 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: does a great job is keeping simple things simple and 589 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: that's kind of stuck with me. And then just you know, 590 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: him giving me the opportunity to even go up there 591 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: and compete and compete with the scholarship guys, and you know, 592 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: give me a fair opportunity. So I'm uh forever grateful 593 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: to him, you know, even allowing me to be able 594 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: to be in this point right now. Their quarterback Saturday 595 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: through nine touchdown passes against U C. L A. But 596 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: you guys couldn't pull that off. I wish shock sixty 597 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: seven sixty three defeat um.

We're gonna be taking your calls eight hundred 618 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: nine one nine three seven seven six. I just want 619 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: to update some folks about Sam Donald. We know that 620 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: he's missed the last two games with the case of 621 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: mono um. It's been a tough go for the Jets 622 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. Here at two thousand nineteen, Donald starts. 623 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: He said he didn't feel like himself against the Buffalo Bills, 624 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: even though he completed forty one passes um. He originally 625 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: thought he had struck throat but then diagnosed with mono. 626 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: Trevor Simeon starts against the Cleveland Browns, he goes out 627 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: for the year with ankle ligament damage, and then yesterday 628 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: in New England, Luke Falk starts. But if you're a 629 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: Jets fan and Sam Donald's return is right around the corner, 630 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: he is targeting the Philadelphia Eagles game in Week five, 631 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: folks are saying around one Jets drive, this is a 632 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: great time for the bye. This is one of the 633 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: primary reasons why this again is a twenty two year 634 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: old developing quarterback in his second season, Hopes are high 635 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: around Donald. He is a talented player, a guy who 636 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: can make plays when everything breaks down around him. Right now, 637 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: the Jets offense is not in rhythm. We have seen 638 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: that the last couple of weeks. We saw it even 639 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: in Week one when the Jets faced the Buffalo Bills. 640 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: They scored eight offensive points against the Bills. Right now, 641 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: the defense and the special teams has outscored the Green 642 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: and White. With that being said, remember what Sam Donald 643 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: showed last year when he came back from injury, leading 644 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: the Jets to a come from behind victory over the 645 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and then going on a major terror in December. 646 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: Everything is headed in the right direction with Donald right now, 647 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: his spleen, the size of it, of course, you're not 648 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: gonna mess with it. He will not be on the 649 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: football field unless he is cleared by the doctors. The 650 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: size of the spleen has gone down, and the Jets 651 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: released their backup quarterback today, meaning that shows you, hey, 652 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: we got confidence that he's going to be out there 653 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: on the football field. That would mean that Folk would 654 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,280 Speaker 1: resume his backup duties when the Jets returned to action. 655 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,359 Speaker 1: What further updates about Donald next week? But the Green 656 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,320 Speaker 1: and White are thinking that he is going to be 657 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: back on the practice field next Wednesday, and that is uh. 658 00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: That will be a major deal for the Jets moving forward. Again, 659 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: the record is not where anybody wants it to be, 660 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:10,280 Speaker 1: but the facts say the Jets are down eight railers 661 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: against the New England Patriots when kickoff arrived yesterday afternoon 662 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: at Gilette Stadium, Sam Donald not in the lineup tight 663 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: and Chris Hernan still serving that four game suspension. He'll 664 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,879 Speaker 1: miss one more game on the outside. Quincy and Nona 665 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: went into reserve with the neck injury. To Marius Thomas 666 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: dealing with the knee and a hamstring issue, he was 667 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: out of the lineup as well. Then you switched to 668 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,280 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. We talked to Blake Cashman. 669 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: Reserves all across the board at the linebacker position. You're 670 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: dealing you're playing without your quarterback on defense. Who is c. J. Mosley, 671 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: who is a great player in his own right. Quinn 672 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: and Williams the number three overall selection in the draft 673 00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,280 Speaker 1: out of Alabama. He has not played the last two weeks. 674 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 1: These are not excuses. The point is that the Jets 675 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: have dealt with adversity in a big way. They gotta 676 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 1: get some kind of offensive rhythm after the buy Adam 677 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: Gates talked about that today, no matter who's playing quarterback, 678 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: got a block better up front. Gonna have to create 679 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:25,320 Speaker 1: some more daylight for Levan Bell. We know that Levian 680 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: Bell has earned his money and then some here on 681 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 1: in the early going. But um, the Jets are gonna 682 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 1: play better football. Sixteen game regular regular season, thirteen games 683 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: to go. That is an eternity. And when you look 684 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: at this schedule, Yes, the Philadelphia Eagles. You got a 685 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: trip there. That's gonna be a tough ball game. A 686 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: lot of people think they will be contending for a 687 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: trip to the super Bowl out of the NFC, but 688 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 1: they just lost a home yesterday the Detroit Lions, and 689 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 1: they're dealing with injuries in their own right there. One 690 00:36:58,440 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 1: and two. Then you have a home date with the 691 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: Ellas Cowboys, a team who could contend in the a 692 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 1: f C. They look mighty fine right now. Three and 693 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,399 Speaker 1: oh and then finally you got the Patriots at home. 694 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: But before we go to a break, let's just think 695 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: about the schedule after that at Jacksonville one and two. 696 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 1: At Miami, a team who is oh and three, a 697 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 1: home date with the Giants who started Daniel Jones yesterday. 698 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: He was impressive, but that's a one in two ball club. 699 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: Sa Kwon Barkley might not be in the lineup when 700 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 1: the Jets face the g Men at Washington, and team 701 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: still looking for its first victory. First Oakland, a team 702 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,839 Speaker 1: who is rebuilding there one in two right now. And Cincinnati, 703 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 1: a team who is oh and three. Then you come 704 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 1: home and you face the Miami Dolphins, a team who 705 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:51,320 Speaker 1: was still looking for its first win. Listen. You gotta 706 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:56,239 Speaker 1: look at the Jets in two thousand nineteen in a 707 00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:00,080 Speaker 1: long term view. Right now oh and three, not a 708 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 1: lot of things happening for them offensively. Their quarterbacks coming back. 709 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: Their quarterback on defense is coming back. They're getting guys healthy, 710 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: They're getting guys back from suspension, and the schedule is 711 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: going to lighten up.

Uh. This team is dealt 731 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 1: with a lot of adversity here earlier this season. I'm 732 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 1: gonna get my co host back in two weeks because 733 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: we're on the bye next week. But Eric Coleman will 734 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,280 Speaker 1: be back uh next to me as well and Blake 735 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: Cashman and look fall if it came out to Vanderbilt's tonight. 736 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 1: So but I said, I wanted to get some calls, 737 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 1: So let's rifle through a few of these right now. 738 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,919 Speaker 1: I was bun on whole for a while. I wrote, 739 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: it's up, Hey, Yeah, what's happening? What's up? But good 740 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: spot with good Spot with Luke and Cashman, and I 741 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 1: love Cashman things camp. I thought, he's really kind of 742 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,399 Speaker 1: really stepping it up nicely to him have success so far. 743 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,880 Speaker 1: You know, of course, yesterday you know we knew what 744 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 1: we're going in there with you know, eight guys out 745 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 1: and you get the whole picture. But you know, going forward, Yet, 746 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 1: there are a lot of winnable games and very encouraging 747 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: news about Sam. And I know we have a great 748 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: medical staff. I know they're not gonna pun out there 749 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: unless he's like a hundred and fifty percent guaranteed to 750 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 1: be healthy. But the thing that I just have to 751 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 1: get out there. Last year, okay, the last quarter of 752 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,760 Speaker 1: the season, when Sam played well, that offensive line pretty 753 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 1: much it's the same players that we have right now 754 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: except to the center and the left guard, and Assamia 755 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 1: was an upgrade. Um, I'm not quite sure. I know 756 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 1: I didn't send too much time playing together during summer, 757 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,760 Speaker 1: but these are old veterans and there's just too much miscommunications. 758 00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,719 Speaker 1: How are they going to get this fixed for the 759 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 1: fill a game? Listen? That is a fair point, and 760 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: the Jets will tell you themselves said, hey, listen, that 761 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:13,960 Speaker 1: hasn't been good enough up front yesterday five sacks Rupe Falkhead. Also, 762 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: there's been no daylight for Levian Bell. Almost all of 763 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: Bell's yards, it seems, have been yards after contact. That 764 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: gotta find some room to create space making a clean pocket. 765 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,840 Speaker 1: The thing about Donald that you don't want to depend 766 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,920 Speaker 1: on all the time when he comes back into the 767 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 1: lineup is to create on his own. The Jets do 768 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 1: have to do a much better job up front. And 769 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 1: why the bike comes in a good time for this 770 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 1: coaching staff is Adam Gates and those offensive coaches are 771 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: gonna go back into the lab and say what's working 772 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 1: and right now offensively not a lot. You gotta hang 773 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 1: your hat on something and what can we do moving forward? 774 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,240 Speaker 1: But again, getting Donald act will be a big piece. 775 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:05,280 Speaker 1: But the line has to block better and the entire 776 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 1: the Jets team in terms of offensively has to develop 777 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,280 Speaker 1: better rhythm. You can't get in the third and longs 778 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. You will not win that way. 779 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 1: Let's go to Joel right now, guys, great show. I'm 780 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 1: an average listening. I listened all day and Dave Rockson 781 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 1: I'm black, you guys don't And I'm a quarterback in 782 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 1: a quarterback my whole life. Never played D one, played 783 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 1: D two. Here's what I'm trying to say. If it 784 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 1: wasn't for Drew Henton getting cleaned on the sideline, if 785 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,279 Speaker 1: it wasn't for Drew Bledsol getting cleaned on the sideline. 786 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 1: This guy would not be You have to land as 787 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,799 Speaker 1: a quarterback. You have to land in a in an 788 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,919 Speaker 1: offense that suits you. You just interviewed the fifth round 789 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: walk on. That's got an NFL job. How come nobody 790 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:59,280 Speaker 1: pays any attention to this. It's where you land. There's 791 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 1: so many quarterbacks that I don't care if that Jesus Christ, 792 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,799 Speaker 1: if they don't have an offensive line to protect them, 793 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: their talent can't shurn Brady's talent. He got on the 794 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 1: field twice because somebody got Damn Bill wrong. Brady had 795 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: no attention to being drafty. Brady was never gonna be trafty. 796 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:22,879 Speaker 1: Brady got on the field twice for an injury. Thanks 797 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,919 Speaker 1: for a calling, Joel. Okay, So the point on that is, yeah, 798 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,719 Speaker 1: Tom Brady six round draft pick. I actually was on 799 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 1: the field that day. We're working in public relations across 800 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 1: the way. Nobody knew Tom Brady was gonna be this. Uh. 801 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,319 Speaker 1: That was a Drew Bledzeo er two thousand one. Um, 802 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,319 Speaker 1: you Jets one up there after nine eleven. And then 803 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 1: Brady became a great quarterback, a fantastic quarterback. Sometimes it's 804 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: hard to predict what these guys are going to become. Um. 805 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,319 Speaker 1: And I also think that when the people are looking 806 00:43:55,320 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 1: at the Jets offense right now, yeah, you know it's 807 00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: gotta be better, But we're overlooking the fact that you 808 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,919 Speaker 1: just played with a quarterback who had a one week 809 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 1: of practice with the ones. He was just promoted from 810 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 1: the practice squad. And the offensive line. It starts up 811 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: front and again, these guys are gonna have to find 812 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 1: some answers during the bye week. Um, we got time 813 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 1: for maybe? Uh, Gary, you got about thirty seconds? Go ahead, Gary, 814 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 1: got about thirty seconds? Is it me? I thought I 815 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 1: was going to be on the alan. Oh I'm sorry, Gary, 816 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,320 Speaker 1: you can call in a minute.
