<v Speaker 1>Anything about the Jets jump out at you over there,

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.480
<v Speaker 1>you know from when you watch the preseason. Well, they've

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 1>done a really good job of putting the football team together.

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, most of the offensive guys who come different

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:37.680
<v Speaker 1>routes through different teams and so forth, But defensive guys

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.599
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of homegrown guys, and uh, they're very

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 1>good players, athletic explosives, and they impressive to watch on tape.

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:49.200

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 1>You're you're coaching the game. But when you when you

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>get to have a matchup like a j. Gleen Vers

0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Dorell Rivis, I mean, is there a part of you

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>that ever enjoys watching two grades go at it like that? Well,

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>throughout been an exceptional player, you know, since he came

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>into the league, which I guess was what oh seven

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>oh eight, and uh, you know he's done such a

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, so consistent and such a great job and uh,

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's always fun to watch and uh he's

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.559
<v Speaker 1>a great lesson for young players to uh to really

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 1>try and and and you know, mimic as a young

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:26.120
<v Speaker 1>cornerback and we've drafted a lot of young cornerbacks around here.

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:30.959
<v Speaker 1>And how he plays his patients, his ability to work

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>around the receiver, and you know, there's a lot of

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 1>good things I learned from marmon. What sort of challenges

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>does Brandon Marshall post for your guys secondary He's you know,

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>he's such a uh, he's he's an imposing figure. He's

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 1>a big person. Uh, he's very fluid, doesn't nice job

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 1>of running and cutting and so forth. And obviously he's

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>very strong and to catch. Obviously, the Jus defensive line

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 1>is known as one of the strongest in the league.

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>What's the biggest challenge when you go up against unit, Well,

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>they are the big, physical guys, and so you gotta

0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 1>be you know, you gotta be consistent. You gotta just

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, put on your hard hats, trap it down

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 1>and go to work. And you know it's going to

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:11.679
<v Speaker 1>be an all days sucker each and every time you

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>go play him. Is there a challenge preparing for a

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>team like the Jets that you guys don't play as often. Well,

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I think they're very similar to you know, our division.

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>They're big, physical people and uh we've got to understand that.

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.839
<v Speaker 1>And um, you know, I think that's a physical football team,

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 1>which with our division sets up. Pass Marvin, what have

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.080
<v Speaker 1>your impressions been from afar of Todd Bowls here? As

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 1>he kind of navigates going from uh, you know, being

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.519
<v Speaker 1>a coordinator to to head coach. Something you you did

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>a few moons are gonna I guess, well I've been

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>God has done fantastic. Uh. You know they got off

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.800
<v Speaker 1>to such a good start a year ago. Uh, he

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>navigated a lot of tough situations a year ago and

0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>was able to get to keep the team focused and

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>get off to a fan start. And you know, I

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>know they didn't finish, you know, the last game and

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to make the playoffs. I know that didn't happen.

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>But he stayed true to himself and true to the

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 1>and and kept you know, the football team kept focused

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 1>all the way through. And uh, you know now they're

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.640
<v Speaker 1>on to the next you know they uh you know,

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 1>you go through the thing with Ryan over the summer

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:19.920
<v Speaker 1>and no one, no one flinches, no one, you know,

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 1>and you just get moving. Bryan's in there just like

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>we expected. And now the football teams back moving full speed.
