They just played on Thursday, 5 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: so we didn't have, you know, a show earlier the 6 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 1: week I actually did we we did not out a show. 7 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 1: But it's been good. You know. I was able to 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: go back home for the first time in three months 9 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: in Florida for just about you know, two days, just 10 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: to check on the house, make sure everything was good. 11 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: But you know, I feel like I brought the cold 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: weather with me to Florida. Was in the sixties, and dudes, 13 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: you complaining about the sixties and Florida. Yes, I'm complaining 14 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: about the sixties because like I left the code to 15 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: get away from the colde not to enjoy more code 16 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: when I got to Florida. But oh no, it was. 17 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: It was a good little you know, reset button, A 18 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: nice little weekend to get away. Beautiful here this week 19 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: and I'll have to see what the forecast is for 20 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: the Jets bills one o'clock at MetLife Stadium. As we 21 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: sit here, it is Tuesday morning, about ten am. All 22 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: we know is both Mike White and Zack Wilson are 23 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: expected back at practice. Zack Wilson will only play once 24 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,279 Speaker 1: he is a hundred percent Do you think Mike White 25 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: is in a line to make his third consecutive start. Yeah, 26 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: it seems like it's trending for Mike White to get 27 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: his third consecutive start, and I agree with that. I 28 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: believe unless Zack Wilson is a hundred percent healthy, and 29 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: people tend to forget this was supposed to be a 30 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: two to four week injury. I think he's only in 31 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: week three right now, but hasn't practiced yet, So you 32 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: don't want to roll a guy out there coming off 33 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: for knee injury without only a few days of practice. 34 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: So unless he's a hundred percent healthy, I don't believe 35 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: you put Zack Wilson out there because it's hard to 36 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: evaluate somebody until they're a hundred percent healthy. So I 37 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: believe Mike White will start this week. We'll see if 38 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: you know Zach Ellen will dress or will it be 39 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco is the backup or Josh Johnson, who showed 40 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: really well first to Coats in this past Thursday night game. 41 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: But I believe Mike White deserves a chance to start, 42 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: and because Zack Wilson isn't a hundred percent healthy yet, 43 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: he shouldn't start until he is all right. The beauty 44 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: of this podcast and the reason you should subscribe Rate 45 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: in Review is we bridge the previous week to this 46 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: week and we get you ready for the upcoming ball game. 47 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: And of course that is the Jets and the Bills, 48 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: and last week was the Jets and the Colts. Um, 49 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: what do you make of Mike White going out early 50 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: in that ball game because he was so he looked 51 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: well on his way to an other big performance because 52 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 1: he had thrown for nearly close to that first quarter 53 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: and yeah, just in two drives almost those for a 54 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: hundred yards answers the score from the coast to get 55 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: it to seven to seven. And he just felt for 56 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: the kid. You saw his expression on TV on on 57 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: his face when he was trying to grip the ball 58 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: and throwing and it was going straight into the ground. 59 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: He kind of did like the home alone thing when 60 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: he put his hand over his head, like what is 61 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: going on? So you felt for the kid because I've 62 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: been in that position right where you feel like this 63 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: is your time to sign it. It happened to me 64 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: in my fifth year when I had signed my first 65 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: free agent deal was approved one year proven deal. I 66 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: told my pet so I was done for the year. 67 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: And it happened on the first third down of the 68 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: third preseason game. For people that don't know, that's kind 69 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: of like the dress rehearsal game for the season. So 70 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: I was sacking the quarterback and tore my pick, and 71 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: I was like, why me? So I just, you know, 72 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: fel felt for you know, Mike White at the time, 73 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: but it seems like he was all right by the 74 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: fourth quarter and feel like he got some of that 75 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: feeling back and looks like he's on party potentially start. 76 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: So he still has another opportunity to go out there 77 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: and put out good film. I'm not saying that Judge 78 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: would have beat the Colts, but how much, how much? 79 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: How much to change the rhythm of the game when 80 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: the guy who had taken first team rops all week, 81 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: who's obviously in a flow and plane so wild distributing 82 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: the ball over the place, goes out because Josh Johnson 83 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: got it going, but it took him a little bite. 84 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: Well also, right, the team believes in him, so that's 85 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: another thing. So when like your leader at the time 86 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: goes down, it kind of sucks the air out of 87 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: the team, not just the offense, but the defense as well. 88 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: And we see how we saw how Mike White united 89 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: that team the week before versus Cincinnati Bengal, So like 90 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: everybody going into that game having a lot of faith 91 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: and belieth to him, and then he goes down after 92 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: two series, You're like, dang, like what next? How many 93 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: more injuries do we the Jets are gonna sustain throughout 94 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: the season. But you know, you're professional. You have to 95 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: bounce back and play well. And I thought, like you said, 96 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: Josh Johnson, took him a little while to get going, 97 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: but once he did show the really well, was efficient 98 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: with the offensive, was able to throw the ball down 99 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: the field over three hundred yards and what three quarters 100 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: and then uh with three touchdownschdowns. So I mean, that's 101 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: that's big time football. When you know, he didn't get 102 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: any reps, just kind of like Mike White didn't get 103 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: any reps in New England week, Josh Johnson probably didn't 104 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: get any reps the Indianapolis Coacht Week. Plus it was 105 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: a short week, so that's compounded with that right, you're 106 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: not only then getting the rest's a short shorter time 107 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: to get ready to play a team. Then one of 108 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: those touchdowns went to and Ryan Griffin, who got in 109 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: the endzupe for the first time. So it's two thousand nineteen. 110 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: Griff is going to stop by the podcast here momentarily. 111 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: So as we look ahead, Zack Wilson his number one 112 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: receiver all along with Corey Davis. A lot of people 113 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: say Wilson would get locked in on Corey Davis a 114 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: little bit too much. Isn't it interesting how everything has 115 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: changed now because you've seen different quarterbacks in the ball 116 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: distribution is going all over the place, and Corey Davis 117 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: is gonna add to this offense. I'm not saying you 118 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: get better when Corey Davis is out of the lineup, 119 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: but it's very ironic that the offense took off without 120 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: Wilson and Corey in the lineup. Yeah, it's very interesting. 121 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: It's because both quarterbacks that have come in have executed 122 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: the offense. I'm not gonna say flawlessly, but they've they've 123 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: done what is required in this offense. And we talked 124 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: about this earlier in the season. This is a timing 125 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: based offense, and the quarterbacks have to trust where the 126 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: receiver is gonna be. The receivers have to trust the 127 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: quarterback is gonna put the ball where it needs to 128 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: be put. And then also like the offense, is trusted 129 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: on the quarterback knowing where to go with the football, 130 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: not just taking the shots down the field, taking the 131 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: underneath route, being efficient with the ball. We saw time 132 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: and time again both Josh Johnson and Mike White finding 133 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: Keeling Cole void in the zone, right on little hitch routes, 134 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: finding Jamison crowd Are void in the zone, finding Michael 135 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: Carter in the flat or angle routes, finding Ti Johnson 136 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: on angle routes, and then Elijah Moore, who was taking 137 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: off the last two weeks, being able to find him 138 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: on not only through the middle of the field because 139 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: he's lined up in slot line about outside, but being 140 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: able to find him on some deep out routes. So 141 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: it's all about the quarterback being efficient with the ball, 142 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: knowing where to go with the football. And we've talked 143 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 1: about the distribution ten different pass catchers in the Cincinnati 144 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: Bengals game, eleven in the Indianapolis Coast game. That's proven 145 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: that the quarterbacks are not locking into anybody. They're just 146 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: taking what the defense is giving them, distributing the ball 147 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: to everybody, and whoever is open is open. That's where 148 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: the REGOs, that's where they throw the football. Okay, you 149 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: played defensive line. What are you saying to those guys 150 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: if you're in that room this week because they did 151 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: not play off to their standard against the Courts. Yeah, 152 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: this this defense, I've said this from day one because 153 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: I played in this defensive Robert Solo in two thousand 154 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: and seventeen. It's predicated off the defensive line creating have it, 155 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: but that's creating hav it and doing it within the scheme. 156 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: And we saw a lot of this Thursday night versus 157 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: the coach. Guys were out of their gaps. Guys, I 158 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: think we're just really trying to make plays. And even 159 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: Jerry Davis came out and said he was trying to 160 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,239 Speaker 1: make a play on that you know, that long touchdown 161 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: round to run to Jonathan Taylor where he didn't, you know, 162 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: hit his gap where he was supposed to head. He 163 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: was trying to, you know, make a play because in 164 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: that game, a lot of times the offensive line was 165 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: getting to you know c J. Mosy getting to Jerry 166 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: Davis without even being touched by the defensive line. So 167 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: that's what I talked about, what guys getting too gap. 168 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: If you're your your nose and you got the a gap, 169 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: you can't get you know, cut off by the guard 170 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: and the center or cut off by the guard in 171 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: the tackle. You have to be able to stay in 172 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: your gap while aggressively getting out of the football. And 173 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: I felt like the defensive line probably didn't have their 174 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: best game at all, and they'll tell you that too, 175 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: as far as you know, block recognition and playing blocks, 176 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: getting off blocks and helping their linebackers out. Too many 177 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: times the center and guards were getting too c J. 178 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: Mosley and Jerry Davis untouched. So that's gonna hurt you 179 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: in the run game when that happened. The beauty of 180 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: the scheme is you guys have stated over and over, 181 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: is that it's simple and it allows you to go 182 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: out and play fast. With that being said, after tough 183 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: performance against the Colts, after three the last four games, 184 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: I think you would say defensively, you've been staggered, you've 185 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: been against the ropes. You don't change anything schematically at 186 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: this point. It's more fundamentals or what are you doing? 187 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: It's fundamentals and execution, right, just realizing And I've talked 188 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: about this with Frank off the camera um even the 189 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: defensive ents right, A lot of those zone schemes when 190 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: we're getting off the ball. And we saw this play 191 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: versus Tennessee Titans. I believe it was an overtime with JFM. 192 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: Knocked the tight in into Derrick Henry and got like, 193 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: when you're setting an edge, you have to set a 194 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: vertical edge. You can't just shock and shed a guy 195 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: because if you do that, you're opening up the sea 196 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: gap and that creates canvases for the running back. So 197 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: what you wanna do is you want to knock the 198 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: tight end up the field, said a vertical edge. That 199 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: way he has to either bow out in bubble or 200 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: he has to make an aggressive cutback right away. And 201 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: too many times in the coach game, guys would knock 202 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: the tight end back for half a second and just 203 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: get off the block. But when you do that, you 204 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: open up gaps and you open up canvases for the 205 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: running back to run. So you could essentially create a 206 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: scene for the running back. So it's all about fundamentals 207 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: and the defenses on the string. Everybody has to work together, 208 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: Like the end has to set the edge. The front 209 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: side three technique has to knocked back the guard on 210 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: the reach block. The backside knows has to play that 211 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: scoot block. He can't just let the center just get 212 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: off free and and and hit this, hit the linebackers, 213 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: and then that backside in has to play the cutback. 214 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: So it's all about working together and the fundamentals and 215 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: technique just wasn't there for the defensive line this last week, 216 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: specifically in the run game. But something that that hasn't 217 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: been talked about enough is the loss to Bryce Huff, 218 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: Like I don't think a lot of people have talked 219 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: about that. Like Bryance stuff was coming off the edge 220 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: and bringing it not just in the run game but 221 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: in the past game too, and that was a major law, 222 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: especially when you already talk about losing Carl Lawson for 223 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: the season. So it's really tested that depth at the 224 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: defensive in position. And I just think that's something that 225 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: needs to be said because Bryce soft was was having 226 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: a really good year for a second year player. What's 227 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: a level concerned with the explosives that are happening right now, 228 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: and everybody, to a man says, Marcus May is and 229 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: a racer at the safety position. What's the transition now 230 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: for this team? Yeah, it's it's a tough transition. You 231 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: go out, your heart goes out to Marcus May because 232 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: everybody knew what the situation was. You know, you got franchise. 233 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: And that's why I'm always a big proponent of, you know, 234 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: players getting what they're do before an injury like that happened. 235 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: So I just feel for him, But they know one 236 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: person is not gonna be able to take over and 237 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: do what Marcus May did, right This is a veteran 238 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: guy high football, i Q knows what to do. He's 239 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: like the quarterback of the secondary. So a guy like 240 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: Aston Davis to to me, Thursday played his best game 241 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: of the season and people tend to forget. And I 242 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 1: had to remind myself that this kid missed all of 243 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: the off season, miss all of the training camp. So 244 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: it's about week four or five of him playing. So 245 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: this is about the time where he's really starting getting 246 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: his groove and and and feel good playing football. And 247 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: besides the one angle that he took that was bad 248 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: versus Jonathan Taylor long run. Other than that, this kid 249 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 1: was was playing with his hair on fire. You're talking 250 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: about forcing two fumbles with which the Jets have to 251 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: jump on, like those are games changes right there, especially 252 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 1: after we turned the ball over when Darius Leonard knocked 253 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: the ball out of Tod Johnson's and you would like 254 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: to get one or two of those back on defense. 255 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, for sure. But then also Aston Davids 256 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: being able to talk about being the racers. There's so 257 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: many times when he was one on one and made games, 258 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: saving tackles, a touchdown tackles. So that's that's the guy 259 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: that's gonna have to step up. We don't know if 260 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: it's Charad Kniesman is gonna start next to him or 261 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: Gerard David Wilson will start next to him. But either way, 262 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: even though he's a second year player, he becomes the 263 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: veteran and the leader in that secondary. So he's a 264 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 1: guy that's gonna have to step up when it comes 265 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: to the communication aspect of the secon in there. Let's 266 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 1: go up a level. Talk about Jered Davis. You mentioned 267 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: him before. Don't we have to be a little bit 268 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: patient with him? Considering everything that he went through going 269 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: down against the Green Bay Packers in the preseason. He's 270 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: just getting his legs underneath him right now. And then 271 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: it's also don't you have to familiarize yourself with the 272 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: eyes and the speed once you get back in the lineup. Yeah, definitely. 273 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: And I felt like he for his first week back 274 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: when like eight weeks versus Cincinnati game, he actually played 275 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: pretty well for a guy to haven't played now. He 276 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: split sometimes with with Quincy Williams in that game, and 277 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: Robert slo came into the game saying that because they 278 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 1: wanted to make sure he had his legs up under him. 279 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: But the worst thing that can happen for a guy 280 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: that is coming off of ankle injury is for him 281 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: to have a short week and have to play another game. 282 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: So I think people tend to forget that, like he 283 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: still has a trust of that ankle is a percent healthy. 284 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,719 Speaker 1: So he plays a physical game for Cincinnati, and then 285 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: he has to play a really physical game first, you know, 286 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: the Indian plis coach. On a short week. I think 287 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: anytime you're coming off of injury, that's that's a tall 288 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: task for for a guy to take most of the 289 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: reps in the game, especially coming off of major injury 290 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: where you miss eight to nine weeks of football, trying 291 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: to get acclimated back to the speed of the game, 292 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: and then, like you talk about the eyes, knowing what 293 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: to see, knowing how to react, it's gonna take him 294 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: a while. Hopefully this will be his third week back 295 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: playing and he's been ten days. His ankle will have 296 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: you know, if they had any like residual effects of 297 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: you know, maybe some soreness or anything. Hopefully that's gone 298 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: out the way and he's ready to play. Versus Buffalo Bills. 299 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: Some's gotta give this week it's a Buffalo Bills a 300 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: total two field goals against the jack Jaguars. Last week, 301 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: we talked about the struggles the Jets have been having defensively. 302 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: What does the film say when you watch the Buffalo Bills, 303 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: Because they got a lot of talent on offensive side 304 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: the ball, and they still can explode at any point, 305 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: but on the surface, they're struggling with the fundamentals blocking 306 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: people from and Josh Allen is getting into trouble because 307 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: they're not making the big plays down the field. Yeah, 308 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: and we saw this in week one verse with them 309 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: in the Pittsburgh Sailors. They like, they were so hyped 310 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: about this offense. Josh Allen had been just got paid, 311 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: and they wanted to come out and throw the ball 312 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: down the field, which they were routinely doing last year. Well, 313 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: you know, Pittsburgh took that away and instead of Josh 314 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: Allen taking the underneath stuff kind of like the Kansas 315 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: City Chiefs, he was trying to force the ball down 316 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: the field of digs into into to um to Coll 317 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: Beasley and Emmanuel Sanders, and it just wasn't there. And 318 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: that's why they last week one were the last two weeks, 319 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: I don't know what has happened, maybe because they went 320 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: on to buy before the Miami game, they've just refused 321 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: to run the football and and and they actually were 322 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: running at a decent rate compared to what they did 323 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: last year. Like last year they didn't even try to 324 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: run the football, but this year they were actually coming 325 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: into games with Zack Moss and Devin Singletary and running 326 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: the football effectively. Not now it was still like past 327 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: run you know, comparison, but last year literally was like 328 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: eight and it seems like the last two weeks it's 329 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: been back to eight and I believe they ran it 330 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: maybe three or four times in the first half verse 331 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: the Jaguars and they try to make it a point. 332 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: The second half, they came out and ran it three 333 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: straight times, and then I don't believe they only ran 334 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: it like one, one, one or two times after that 335 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: the rest of the game, which was astounding to me 336 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: because they came out and ran it three times and 337 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: got the first down, but yet they just refused to 338 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: run the football and teams are forcing them to take 339 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: the underneath stuff to run the football. In the last 340 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: two weeks, they just have not been able to do that. 341 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: And you talked about the miscues from Josh Allen. This 342 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: is a guy that's had over thirty five fumbles at 343 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: the quarterback position since he's taking over his starter for 344 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: the Buffalo bill. So this is a guy that will 345 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: be chancy with the football and then when games are 346 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: tight at the end of the game, he has been 347 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: known to do some heroic stuff and turn the football over. 348 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: And we saw that Sunday. Subjections Jaguars is that the 349 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: Jets game plan just play some cover to make sure 350 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: nothing with and Sanders and basically I don't see any 351 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: way any paths unless angles getting moving on the ground 352 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: where the Bills are going to sustain rush success against you. Yeah, 353 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: and that and that's the thing, right, And they don't 354 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: like to use him in the run game, but they 355 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: haven't even done that. And the thing is, when you 356 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: only score six points, you don't get to the red zone. 357 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: That's when he usually comes in live in the run 358 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: games in the red zone. Now, he did lead him 359 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: in wrestling. I believe he had fifty yards wrestling that game, 360 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: but that happened on two big scampers that he had, 361 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: and that's where he also can hurt you. So pass 362 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: rush lanes will be a premium in this week for 363 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: the defense line because this guy does have a cannon 364 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: for an arm, but he also has the legs where 365 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: he can he can hurt you in the open field 366 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: running the football. So this is a team that you know, 367 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: they're probably charting her something and realized they didn't run 368 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: the ball enough. But Zack Moss did go down in 369 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: that game, so they might be short at the running back. 370 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: I don't know how many times they feel comfortable running 371 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: Devon Devin single terms, they're gonna need him for most 372 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: of the game. If Moss cannot go Sunday versus Jets. 373 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: But this is a team that just has refused to 374 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: run the football the last few weeks, and the results 375 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: of show like the Miami game, they kind of escape 376 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: with the win. They didn't escape would have win last 377 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: week versus Jacksonville Jaguars because they didn't run the football 378 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: and Josh Allen turned the football over. But this is 379 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: a team that I know they're gonna come in, you know, 380 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,479 Speaker 1: with their hair on, fighter trying to fix this kind 381 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: of like they did after the Pittsburgh week. They'll probably 382 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 1: get the ball out of Josh Allen's hands really quick 383 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: with some r p O s um. They tried to, 384 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: you know, mitigate the run game by throwing some screens 385 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: to call Beasley on some swing routes that Jacksonville was 386 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 1: all on. It didn't really work, but I guarantee they're 387 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: especially after what happened with the Justice last week, they're 388 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: gonna try to at least semi established and run this week. 389 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: Rush of Jets. Let's flip it to the other side 390 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: of the ball. Let's go back to the offense. If 391 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: it is indeed Mike White, this will be a premier challenge. 392 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: We don't think of the Bills as a dominant defense, 393 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: but they are a very good defense across the board. Yeah, 394 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: they do what they do, and they do what they 395 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: do well, right. They they're not sexy, not trying to 396 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: do too much. They want you to have to matriculate 397 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: the ball down the field and they're daring you to 398 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: do that for eight, nine, ten, eleven plays and they 399 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: feel like you're gonna make a mistake. What they do 400 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: is they rotate eight or nine defensive lineman. No defensive 401 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: linement takes over the snaps. They have a nice rotation 402 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: there at the linebacker position. They have two really good 403 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: coverage linebackers and and Matt Milano and tray Traymon Edwards 404 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: and those guys are great in courage. And then we 405 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: know what they're have in the secondary, right with White 406 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: at the cornerback position, who's a shutdown corner to me, 407 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: the best safety Tanem in all the football with Michael 408 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: Hyde and Jordan player. Levi Wallace is the other corner. 409 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: But a guy the Jets to really attack is Souran 410 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: new He's take he's taking over since Tarren Johnson got 411 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: hurt last week and Terren Johnson, Yeah, Terren Johnson is 412 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: a really good slot corner, one of the best slot 413 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: corners in all the football. So he's the guy that 414 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars routinely, you know, attacked and they had 415 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: some success. So that's something that that might you know, 416 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: michaela Floor and also you know Mike White are looking 417 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: at on him like how can we attack these guys 418 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 1: because this is a this is a team that simple. 419 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: They play cover to cover to man sometimes and that 420 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 1: cover too man, they'll drop one of their safeties weather 421 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: it's Michael Hyde and Jordan Player. And then also on 422 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: third and short they'll go man coverage across the board. 423 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 1: They'll have five or six guys at the lot of scriptmains, 424 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: but they'll drop out and also just only four men 425 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: rush and then you'll see a guy like Tremaine Edwards 426 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: be like the free dropper there. And that's where you 427 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: have to be cognizant of if you're Mike White, as 428 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: far as knowing where to go with the football, because 429 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: what it looks like before the snap sometimes it's not 430 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: what it's gonna look like after this. Yeah, Tremaine Amunds 431 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: is a big guy ranging and Youmtchine Milan on his athleticism. 432 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: What do they do to put pressure on you in 433 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: those third and long situations because it seems like if 434 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: you're in third along against U third six plus, you're 435 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: not gonna convert. What do they do there? Well, like 436 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: I said a lot of times that they'll they'll show 437 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 1: five or six guys at the line of scrimmage, like 438 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: as if they're blitzing, and sometimes they'll back up out 439 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: of that, so like you'll think you're having man coverage, 440 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: but then you actually get a free dropper like Tremaine 441 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: Edmunds or Matt Milano that shows that void in the 442 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: middle of field, so where you think you got a 443 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,719 Speaker 1: quick slant for five or six yards, it's not there. 444 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: Or or in two men, they'll drop one of their 445 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: safeties over the slot receiver and it happens at the snap, 446 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 1: so you're thinking, man, it's too high safety. But then 447 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: it essentially becomes cover one with a free dropper, So 448 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: you just have to be cognizant that. And then with 449 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: their rotation on the line, they've been able to get 450 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: after the quarterback down. They don't have crazy gutty sack numbers, 451 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: but they have fresh guys throughout the whole game. Literally, 452 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: guys take three or four reps and they're coming out 453 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: and the next guy's coming in. They literally wrote it. 454 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything like it before. They literally legitimately 455 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: rotate nine guys on the line throughout the game. The 456 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: Jets are moving to football, uh, doing a lot of 457 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: good things offensively. Michael Fleur has moved upstairs and what 458 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: is he seeing differently? Obviously needed more place now the 459 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: Jets are getting more plays, but he just seems like 460 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: he's in a very much in a rhythm, in a groove, 461 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: and he talks about the players playing freely. Yeah, I 462 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: think it's one right, they've had more plays. It's hard 463 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: to really get into your and we've talked about this before, 464 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 1: get into your scripted first fifteen when you're three and out, 465 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: three and out and now you're down fourteen, nothing like 466 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: you kind of throw that that script of fifteen out 467 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: the window. But when you're you know, driving the ball, 468 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: and you essentially get through your first fifth team in 469 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: the first drive or second drive, then you feel more 470 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: in tune to the game, getting the rhythm, you know, 471 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: where the throw I mean that call. I believe it 472 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: was third and fifteen. What was the throwback screen when 473 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: Josh Johnson came in the game for them to get 474 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: the first Like that was an amazing play call. Like 475 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: Michael Laflour was in a rhythm when he called that, 476 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 1: Like this dude has been in the rhythm the last 477 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 1: two weeks, and it's possibly because he can see the 478 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: whole field now now that he's up in the box 479 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: see what teams are doing. When you're downstairs, you have 480 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: to kind of rely on somebody else to give you 481 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: that information. But now when you're the play caller and 482 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: you can see how the rhythm of the defensive cordina 483 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: and how he's calling the game, you can kind of 484 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: combat that because you see what personnel he's putting out 485 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: there compared to what you're putting out there, and you 486 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: know what type of coverages he likes in certain downs 487 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: in certain situations. So I think that has a lot 488 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: to do with it, Michael Lafleur being upstairs, being able 489 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: to see the whole field, and then just him being 490 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: in the rhythm because they've actually had the plays where 491 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: he's gotten into rhythm instead of just going three and out. 492 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: They've had even last week, I believe they got what 493 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: two first downs and had to plant it and then 494 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: the next you know, time to office him. Now they 495 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 1: drove the ball down the fielding So you're talking about 496 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: the first trouteam already gone. So like now I'm in 497 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: the rhythm. I feel what the defense is doing to me. 498 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: I can combat that and I know what to call. 499 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 1: And do you think this is a positive dynamic that Okay, 500 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: you got the rookie quarterback and now you have this 501 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: kid and Mike White, a former fifth round pick of 502 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys a couple of years ago, is coming. 503 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: He's played. Well, you're gonna have an opportunity again. You 504 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 1: never could have enough good car. But is your mind 505 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 1: starts to wander when you watch White? What do you 506 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: think he can be calm? We don't know. And the 507 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: thing is, because it's still so early in his career. 508 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: This is the first time he started. Could he potentially 509 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: be a Tony Romo? Could he be a Kurt Warner? 510 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: I mean, we don't know until until we see it. 511 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: But this is a good problem to have, not only 512 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: because you know, competition brings out the best in players, 513 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: or it should bring out the best and players, but 514 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: as far as like just you know, talking about the 515 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: GM and upstairs talking about having trade pieces potentially for 516 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: either one of these quarterbacks down the road, Like if 517 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: Mike White continues to play like this, trust me, the 518 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 1: league is a notice they're watching. So if somebody wants 519 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: a quarterback, potentially the Carolina Panthers in the future or 520 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: uh well, I was gonna say to dinner, Broncos. But 521 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: you know, Teddy Bridgewater played really well Sunday versus Dallas. Guy, 522 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: Like that's a trade piece that you know, the Jets 523 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: always have in their back pocket where they could trade 524 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: one of those two quarterbacks and get helped back, especially 525 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: if they feel like they've locked into one of the 526 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: two guys being the guy for the future. If you're 527 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: Robert Saloon Joe Douglas, so you just playing this week 528 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 1: by week right now, quarterbacks, I mean I feel you 529 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: have to. But it's also a scary situation if you're 530 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: a gym and head coach, right because says Zach comes 531 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: out if they do play this week, which I holly doubt. 532 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: I believe Mike White will start and he doesn't play 533 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 1: well right away, and you know how the Jet crowd is, 534 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: you know how New York Is like, people are gonna 535 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: start screaming Mike White, and that's a lot for a 536 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback to deal with. So trust me, I believe 537 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: that Joe Douglas and Roberts All I have thought about 538 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: that situation and they know I wouldn't be surprised if 539 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: Zach got his first start on the road, just in 540 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: case something like that happens. I'm not saying they're gonna 541 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: hold him out because if he's a hundred percent healthy, 542 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: no matter if you're home or away, you have to 543 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: put Zack Wilson back in the game because this is 544 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: the guy you invested the number two of our pick, 545 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: not just uh first round pick, the number two overall 546 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: pick you invested in. So you have to evaluate this 547 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: guy's Yes, you have to evaluate everybody else on the roster, 548 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: but if this guy is supposed to be the franchise 549 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 1: of your team, then you have to get him out 550 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: there and evaluate him. You do. But if White comes 551 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: out this week, I know I'm dealing in the hypotheses. 552 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: There a chance we have to we have to speak 553 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: to the fans, but it's on the mind that if 554 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: he comes out and plays well this week and then 555 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: Wilson does get to that mark where he's ready, he's 556 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: ready to go. Because here's your next couple opponents. The 557 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: Jets obviously got a big one against the Bills, and 558 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: you know the Jets of play while at home. We're 559 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: gonna get to that here in second. But then they 560 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 1: host Miami Dolphins and that team is one in seven 561 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: right now. And then you play the Houston Texans, who 562 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: arguably I think that two and seven right because they 563 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,719 Speaker 1: just want something that's right, good point. But then you 564 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: have the Houston Texans, who are arguably one of the 565 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: worst teams right now. So the funny thing is, we 566 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: talked about this on the Robert Salis Show that the 567 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: Jets seem to play better when the competition is better. 568 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: Like give us all the top division teams, like, yeah, 569 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: so we got one this week first the Buffalo Bills. Um, 570 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: it's always been a weird thing where like the Jets 571 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: when they're expected to win, that's when stuff kind of 572 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: fall because a lot of people actually picked the Jets 573 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: and win versus Colts on Thursday night. Um, so we'll see. 574 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: I mean, you have to take it a week by 575 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: week unless Za is healthy and only the training staff 576 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 1: and the head coach and Zack know that you don't 577 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: put him out there, like there's no reason to put 578 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: him out there until he's a healthy because you can't 579 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: properly evaluate him until he's a hundred percent healthy. So 580 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: I don't see anyway that Mike White doesn't start this week, 581 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: but we'll see going forward because both the GM and 582 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: the head coach have kind of said there's a premium 583 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: of winning and we're gonna take this week by week. 584 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: So I just said, it's just a it's a it's 585 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: a fickle situation to being if you're a g M, 586 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: a head coach. If Mike White goes out and throws 587 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: for another three bills, win and then you put Zack 588 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: in the next week any struggles coming right out of 589 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 1: the gate, which he probably would because he would not 590 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: have played in three or four weeks. Um, the fans 591 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: and New York are not forgiving. I'm saying, it's not 592 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: like Mike White is a thirty two year old journey man. 593 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: The young guy yea years old.

How good did it feel to get 612 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: back into the end zone for the first time since 613 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: two thousand nine? Oh man, it felt it felt good. Uh. 614 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 1: I was hoping it was gonna come in a win, 615 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: but uh, I'll take it right now. Just trying to 616 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: get more involved in the in the offense. And Josh 617 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: put a good ball on me, and you know, Luckily 618 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: we could convert that one, but still came out with 619 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: a loss. So looking forward to to building on the momentum. Yeah, 620 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: talking about Josh Johnson and Mike why whatever you've seen 621 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: from these two quarterbacks in the last two weeks, because 622 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: it seems like the offense has been really a fish 623 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: and then being able to move the ball up and 624 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: down the field. Yeah, I see two guys who are 625 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: confident in their in their coaching, what they've they've been 626 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 1: taught to to see on the field, and these guys 627 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: are going through their progressions and reads like veteran quarterbacks 628 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: like they are. Um, you know, just because Mike didn't 629 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: get any you know, game time per se, He's still 630 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: been through hundreds of practices and O T A s. 631 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 1: And I just have a whole lot of confidence in 632 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: both those guys to get the job done. Griff, that 633 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: was quite a rope from Josh, wasn't it. It seemed 634 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,640 Speaker 1: to get on you in a hurry. Yeah. That thing 635 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: was steaming down the hash and those are the type 636 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: of throws you've gotta make too, down the red zone 637 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: with things that are compressed and defenders are on me 638 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: a lot quicker than usual. In the in the open field. So, 639 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: like I said, Josh just going through his reads and 640 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: putting the ball where it should be going. And uh, 641 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: you know, we were rolling there for a little bit. Yeah, Griff, 642 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: talking about the Bills coming up this week, what have 643 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: you seen on film against you know, the Buffalo Bills 644 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: who come in as a highly touted defense. One of 645 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: the things you think you guys need to do on 646 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: offense to continue to have the success that you've had 647 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: the last two weeks. I definitely gotta set up this 648 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: run game. We gotta get the run game going. Uh. 649 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: You know, MC is doing a great job, you know, 650 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: hit in the whole. We just gotta stick with the 651 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: run a little bit more, get a little bit more 652 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: balanced attack oning and you know, like I said, just 653 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks just taking what's there, you know, and then 654 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: hopefully the big shots will open up later. But I 655 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: have a whole lot of conferences offense moving forward, and uh, 656 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: you know, you can definitely get this win against the Bills. 657 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: What's Mike White like behind the scenes. He seems like 658 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: such a cool customer, There's no doubt about that. And 659 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: he played so well in the first NFL start in 660 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: relief against the Patriots, and then we uh, dudes and 661 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: I were talking about what might have been if he 662 00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: had stayed in that game against the Colts. Yeah, suh, 663 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: he's like you said, he's cool out there in the huddle. Man. Nothing, 664 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: he's very poise. Nothing can face him. Uh. And like 665 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: I said, just because it was his first, you know game, 666 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: he's been in preseason games. You know, he's been in 667 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: intense practices. H you know, he's made great throws under Durest. 668 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: So this guy's seeing it all and you know the 669 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: fans are the media might not see it because it's 670 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: not on Sundays. Uh. This guy has been through some 671 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: serious reps and he's ready, you know, and he's ready 672 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: to show you know, the world where he's got. Hey, 673 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: g if you talked about really establishing the run first 674 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, what part do you and the tight 675 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: ends play in that role? Because we know a lot 676 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: of times you guys like to roll out in twelve personnel, 677 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: you know, run the zone, run the split zone. How 678 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: can you guys really help and making sure that you're 679 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: effective with the run game. Uh. I take a lot 680 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: of pride in in the tight end room being you know, 681 00:30:55,560 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: at the point of attack. In terms of the run game, Uh, 682 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: coach la Flour does a great job moving us around, 683 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: getting us in different spots, especially with Trayvon uh kind 684 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: of being that fullback role. Uh. You know, we're outside, 685 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: we're in the backfields, we're in protection. We can do 686 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: it all, you know, in terms of running game, just uh, 687 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: you know, hitting our landmarks and jumping off the ball 688 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: with these old lineen Uh. You know, it's a lot 689 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: of fun when we get rolling, to be honest, with 690 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: these backs, hitting the whole as hard as it can 691 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: with Tie and and my m C and uh, you know, 692 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: I can't wait to get t cold back to We're 693 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: gonna be We're gonna be rolling. When you heard La 694 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: Fleur was going back upstairs to the box, what was 695 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: your initial reaction. Yeah, I've seen people make a big 696 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: deal out of this, But you know how I'm on 697 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: the field, you know what I mean, I'm I'm trying 698 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: to perform the play that's called, whether he's on the 699 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: sideline or upstairs. Even when he was on the sideline, 700 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 1: it wasn't like I was in his ear. You know, 701 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: I'm talking to my coach, Ron Middleton, So I don't 702 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: really get a whole lot of exposure with him. But 703 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: you know, I'm all for if you can see the 704 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: feel better than sure to stay upstairs and I'll see 705 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: you after the game. After the win. Let's talk about this. 706 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: This safety tandem for the Buffalo Bills is probably one 707 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: of the better safety tandems in the NFL. What what 708 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: kind of issues do they present for an offense when 709 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: you talk about you know, Michael Hyde and Jordan Poy Yeah, 710 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 1: two young, uh really outstanding safeties who uh, you know, 711 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: have have seen a lot of ball as well. They've 712 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: seen all the route combinations and uh they're eager and 713 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: excited to fill in the wrong game as well. You 714 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: don't really get to see that very often, but these 715 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: two have played in the same system. It's got to 716 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: be going on three or four years now. You can 717 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: tell they're getting very comfortable. Uh. You know, they're doing 718 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: a great job getting at the ball as well, Uh, 719 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: trying to punch that ball out and high point in 720 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: it like receivers in the in the past game. So, uh, 721 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough matchup for us this week 722 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: as usual. You know, it's you can't get get a break, 723 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: you know, in this league, but especially these two, uh 724 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: playing at a high level. What do you make of 725 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: your young team and how well they've played at home 726 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: so far too and one and and those wins have 727 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 1: come against good teams, the Tennessee Titans, perhaps the best 728 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: team in the NFC, and then Cincinnati Bengals, and then 729 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: you guys have struggling on the road, still looking for 730 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: that first victory away from home. Yeah, I think, uh, 731 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: you know, we are a young team and uh so 732 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: guys are still trying to get comfortable. Um and I 733 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: think at home with our fans, and if we get 734 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: out to a hot start, these fans really make a difference, 735 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: you know, coming into uh, you know, after halftime, especially 736 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: with the Tennessee game, I could tell there's some communication errors, 737 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: you know with the Titans in the second half, and 738 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: that that's new to the fans. These fans, you know, 739 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: they missed out last year, and uh, I can tell 740 00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: they're happy to be back and we're happy to have 741 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: them back. Yeah, talking about hot starts, how do you 742 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: guys continue to start fast as you've had the last 743 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: two weeks, you know, verse the Cincinnati Bengals and then 744 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: also you know this last Thursday game versus the Colts. 745 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,919 Speaker 1: How do you guys continue to continue to start fast? 746 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: As we knew that was a struggle in the beginning 747 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,399 Speaker 1: of the year, in the first couple of weeks. Yeah, 748 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: Like I said, Uh, we're a young teams. So these 749 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: guys are getting the message. I think Coach Slid and 750 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: Coach la Floora have really been trying to hammer that home. 751 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 1: You know, we know what to expect the first drive, 752 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 1: you know, just go out there and execute, you know. 753 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 1: And uh, while we are young, these guys are you know, 754 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: they're getting their stripes, they're getting their pelts pretty early 755 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: on here. So these guys making plays, and uh you 756 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: love to see you guys getting better week to week. 757 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: And uh, I think that's what we're doing. And hopefully 758 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 1: we can you know, taking it to this next week 759 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: at home against a you know, a divisual opponent. It's 760 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: gonna be very important for us to get off to 761 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: a hard start. What's a solid lead meeting Like Ryan Ah, 762 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 1: he keeps it interesting. You know, some of the some 763 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 1: of these coaches I've had, you know, you kind of 764 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: know what to expect. But coach Salah, he can come 765 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: up with some film from practice the game, other games 766 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: we haven't been watched before. He's got the basketball hoop 767 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 1: in the team meeting room just in case, you know, 768 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: we got to decide something on to shoot out. You know, 769 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: there's some stories that might not even have to do 770 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 1: with football. Uh. Coach Slid, he's just he's got great energy. Um, 771 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: he's got great messaging and uh, you know, he's got 772 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 1: these young guys playing well. And uh, you know, I'm 773 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: so excited to be here and be a part of it. 774 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 1: Have you been involved in any of those shootouts? And 775 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 1: how have you done? No? No, no, no. Luckily he 776 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,399 Speaker 1: kind of he keeps it to like rookies or coaches. Uh, 777 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 1: so I've avoided the embarrassment of putting up an airball, 778 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 1: unlike some of these other guys. They're trump shots, pretty broke. 779 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 1: You get to figure that out real quick. But now 780 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: it's fun just even watching this shoot out. It's like 781 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: a knockout style thirty seconds, try to hit as many 782 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: three pointers as you can. So it's it's a lot 783 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: of fun, a lot of laughs. Uh. But at the 784 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 1: end of the day, it's competition too. You know, these 785 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,359 Speaker 1: guys getting after each other in every facet of the game. 786 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: So it's a lot of fun and I'm happy coach 787 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: Silo brought the best of a hoop into the team 788 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 1: meeting room. Well, I actually played for him in two 789 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: seventeen and something that he was notorious for was like 790 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 1: brain teasers. Do you guys do any of that in 791 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: the team meeting room where you break up into groups 792 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,920 Speaker 1: and it's like tight ends versus the O line and 793 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 1: tight ends versus the running backs. As far as like 794 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,359 Speaker 1: a question on like a little riddle on the on 795 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: the screen or anything like that. Yeah, exactly, It's it's 796 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 1: more like riddles, right, So yeah, yeah, that's with some yeah, 797 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 1: some prayin teaser. Isn't like if this is true? This 798 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 1: was It's like I'm studying for the S A T 799 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 1: S again sometimes. But it's a whole lot of fun 800 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: and that again he keeps it fresh. You know, there's 801 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,240 Speaker 1: something to be said. This season gets long, and especially 802 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 1: when you're you know you're losing, sometimes it's hard to 803 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: see the light. But uh, the energy has just been 804 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: great this whole season, and again, I can't wait to 805 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: get back out there and play at a high level again. 806 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 1: So Salo probably an a student logic that I assume. 807 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 1: And by the way, he's got to constroke himself. I've 808 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: been involved in a couple of shootouts with him before 809 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 1: we take for our television segment, and he's a big 810 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: guy and that ball comes off his hands. Move. Yeah. Yeah, 811 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,399 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to see him in the post, that's 812 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 1: for sure. YEA. Yeah. Hey, let me ask you about 813 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 1: the development of rookie tight end Kenny Yoboa. Obviously coming 814 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: out of Mississippi, Elijah Moore's teammate. He had a big 815 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles. What's he been like 816 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 1: and how have you tried to help him because you've 817 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,280 Speaker 1: been through this for a number of years. Yeah, Kenny's 818 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: been great. I'll just say he's he's gonna be a, 819 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: you know, a great player in this league. You know, 820 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: he's learning the ropes right now. But uh, that might 821 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,239 Speaker 1: come to an end here quickly with the t K out. 822 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,359 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with him. But in the meeting room, 823 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: you know, he's he's he pays attention very well, asked 824 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 1: all the right questions, UM, and then when he gets 825 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: on the field, you can see exactly the potential that 826 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: he has. UM. Really excited for the future that he 827 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: has here with the Jets, and uh, I'm excited to 828 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 1: see him, you know on Sundays as well. Put put 829 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,240 Speaker 1: all that potential out there and show the world's got 830 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,840 Speaker 1: if you talked about, you know, trying and ready to 831 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: be back on the field, because you know, guys played 832 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: on the Thursday, so to be ten days since you play, 833 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: what is the energy like in the locker room. Is 834 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,399 Speaker 1: everybody just you know, fighting out the bid to get 835 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: back on the field, especially coming off a loss in 836 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: it being the whole ten days before you played again. Yeah, 837 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: for sure, the guys are definitely getting healthy. So those 838 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,359 Speaker 1: are these Thursday night games, Uh, to take a toll 839 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 1: on your body. And while we're young. I think I 840 00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: saw a lot of guys in here this with this 841 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 1: past week and geting treatment and trying to get their 842 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: bodies back, you know for this big divisional game. We're 843 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 1: we're excited to get back out there. Like I said, 844 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 1: you know, especially offensively, I felt like we just ran 845 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: out of time at the end there, but excited to 846 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 1: get back on the field. Even tomorrow. You know, we've 847 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: got a big practice tomorrow and take it day by day. 848 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: But I know the teams are gonna be ready to 849 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:26,720 Speaker 1: go on Sunday. Lastly, we've asked you about Mike White. 850 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about Zach Wilson. How do 851 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,880 Speaker 1: you think he's handled all the pressure that comes with 852 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: being the number two overall selection unfortunately goes down with 853 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 1: the knee injury. Uh. It seems to have a lot 854 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,840 Speaker 1: of positivity about him. Yeah, that's just who he is. 855 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,880 Speaker 1: I think he's a real positive guy. And uh, you know, 856 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 1: he always wants what's best for the team. And you know, 857 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,800 Speaker 1: I've seen him in the training room, you know, getting 858 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,759 Speaker 1: his treatment in and uh, you know, just learning. I 859 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 1: think he's just studying the game on the sidelines and 860 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: that's all you can ask from him right now. He's 861 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 1: trying to get back healthy, but out in the meantime, 862 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: he's still, you know, a student of his position, and 863 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 1: I think that's what's gonna make him great. Great stuff. Griff. 864 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,880 Speaker 1: We gotta ask you though, since you got in the 865 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:16,359 Speaker 1: end zone last week, you any you any celebrations plan 866 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 1: for your next touchdown? Yeah. I got something lined up, 867 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 1: but I didn't want to pull it out. You know, 868 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,839 Speaker 1: down by twenty plus, so hopefully you know, next time 869 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 1: again the end zone. It's it's gonna be in a 870 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: crunch time and you know I can shore everybody. You know, 871 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: Sticky hands didn't go anywhere any hints to what it 872 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 1: might be. I don't know if the ball is gonna 873 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,360 Speaker 1: leave my hand. We'll see it. I don't know. I 874 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 1: might be a little stuck. We'll be watching out for 875 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 1: that Sunday. Thank you so much for joining us.

One the older President of New Jersey. 888 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:16,759 Speaker 1: If you're someone you know has a gambling problem called 889 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,279 Speaker 1: one D seven zero seven one one seven. When you 890 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 1: look at the landscape in the National Football League, they 891 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,799 Speaker 1: always say any given Sunday. I think this last week 892 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:30,879 Speaker 1: was a great example. We used the word maybe too much, 893 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 1: but there's parody in this lake and literally like, if 894 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 1: you don't show up and you're not ready, you will 895 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 1: get taken to the woodshead. We saw that the Dallas 896 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 1: Denver Denver game, they were down thirty to nothing at 897 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 1: one point. We saw it that, Yes, we saw it 898 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 1: with the Las Vegas Raiders and the New York Giants 899 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 1: who people had took to the you know, they put 900 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 1: them on the chash dump and said they were done. 901 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,880 Speaker 1: Big win for them, Jacksonville Buffalo Bills, like and honestly, 902 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, you know what enough people, a lot of 903 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 1: people aren't talking about enough. This is the year the 904 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 1: backup quarterback if you look at it right. So what 905 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,239 Speaker 1: happened in Arizona in San Francisco, cope McCay comes out, 906 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 1: comes out there and cooks the San Francisco for And 907 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,320 Speaker 1: I we saw what Mike White did versus Cincinnati Bengals. 908 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 1: We saw what Josh Johnson did even though they didn't 909 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: win Verse. You know, the Indianapolis coach. We saw what 910 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 1: Cooper Rush did verse the Minnesota Vikings, Like this is 911 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 1: the year of the backup. Trevor Simeon what he did 912 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,920 Speaker 1: not this past week, but the week before getting in 913 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: win West, Jameis Winston gets hurt. So like the backup 914 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:36,240 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and and my good friend Darius Brother who played 915 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,720 Speaker 1: nine years in the NFL for the Indianapolis coach mostly 916 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: and the New England Patriots. He said, he tweeted this 917 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 1: the other day. He's like, being a backup is harder 918 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 1: than the starter. And in some ways I get that 919 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 1: because when you're the starter, yeah, there's press sharing you, 920 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,239 Speaker 1: but you know that's your job, unless you're in New 921 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 1: England now because they have been to you quick. But 922 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 1: most other places it's gonna take you a couple of 923 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 1: games of not performing for you to get mitched. But 924 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 1: when you're the backup, like you live, don really have 925 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: to be ready to start, plus be ready for all 926 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 1: four phases of special teams, and then they expect you 927 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: to play at a high level when you get in 928 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 1: the game, no matter how many first team reps you 929 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: got that week. Like, so I understand why he put that, 930 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 1: and we've seen this year how some of these backups 931 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 1: have been prepared and ready, you know when when they've 932 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,239 Speaker 1: been called upon and they've actually executed. So, you know, 933 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,279 Speaker 1: kudos to the backup quarterbacks. Just want to give a 934 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 1: shout out to them. How about Dad from my old 935 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 1: defensive lineman. So, as we sit here basically at the 936 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:33,760 Speaker 1: season's midway point, is it status quo? Are the defending 937 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 1: champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers still the team to beat? You 938 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 1: never know, each week it's different, man Like, So, like, 939 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 1: who's the best team in the NFC. I've seent Tennessee 940 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,319 Speaker 1: for a while and I think even without Derrick Henry, 941 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 1: the way that defense is playing now, I think this 942 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 1: is what Mike Vrabel envisioned. I like the way the quarterback. Yeah, 943 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,759 Speaker 1: so like they were like dead last and getting to 944 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 1: the quarterback last year. So what does he do? It 945 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,280 Speaker 1: gets the Nico Attrey, to me, is the most underrated 946 00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 1: player in the NFL, not just you know, skill, just underrated. 947 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 1: Most underrated player in the NFL does not get enough 948 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,840 Speaker 1: respect for what he does. I mean, he bawled in Oakland, 949 00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,200 Speaker 1: this is before they moved to Vegas. Then he bawled 950 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:10,879 Speaker 1: with the Coats, and he bought the well the coast 951 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 1: of Tennessee was like, shoot, we gotta sign him from 952 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 1: the Coats and he's just playing at a elite level. 953 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 1: They you know, they got Jeffrey Simmons in the first 954 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 1: round and he's playing, you know, after he had the 955 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 1: knee injury coming out, but now you could tell that 956 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 1: he's finally healthy and he's playing like the Pro Bowl 957 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 1: caliber player that he is. Uh, you know, Budd the 958 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 1: pre is starting to come around from the a C 959 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,360 Speaker 1: and Harold Andrew is gonna get a hundred and fifty 960 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:35,080 Speaker 1: million dollars from I mean Jets. He's a free agent. 961 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, don't let him leave. They might franchise him, 962 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,279 Speaker 1: but he's playing out of this world right now. So 963 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,200 Speaker 1: when you're able to pressure the quarterback before, it just 964 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 1: makes it so much easier to kind of hide some 965 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 1: of the deficiencies in the secondary that they've had. Had 966 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 1: so many injuries in that secondary, but you would not 967 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 1: know it because that defensive line has literally taken over. 968 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:54,320 Speaker 1: We're in the beginning of the year, they were struggle 969 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,000 Speaker 1: and they couldn't get to the quarterback. Now no officsive 970 00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,640 Speaker 1: line can stop them like that performance on Sunday Night 971 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,960 Speaker 1: Football was one for the ages for that defensive line 972 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 1: and we saw them also affect the coast the week before. 973 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,400 Speaker 1: So I just think, to me, they they play with 974 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,799 Speaker 1: a great physicality, take on the mindset of the coach 975 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,320 Speaker 1: of the last few coaches that that coach old school, 976 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,080 Speaker 1: and then they're like, toughness is gonna win you games, 977 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:18,799 Speaker 1: like and I love that. I would love to play 978 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,920 Speaker 1: for a guy like that, like because one of he's 979 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:22,600 Speaker 1: an ex players, so he's been there, so he knows 980 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 1: even though he came from the New England mantra, but 981 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,200 Speaker 1: he knows because he was an ex player, and he 982 00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 1: still coaches with that grit, that fight, that hunger, and 983 00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,759 Speaker 1: the players have really taken on that mantra. And then 984 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 1: you know, I would say, you have to say the Ravens, 985 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 1: which I said I was high on, would probably be 986 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 1: the next best team in the NFC, but literally changes 987 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,160 Speaker 1: from week to week, like you never know, there might 988 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 1: be a team that gets into the playoffs in the 989 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:49,160 Speaker 1: AFC at nine, nine and eight, Is that right? So 990 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,759 Speaker 1: I would not be surprised to be a team even 991 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 1: eight nine could potentially get because every week it's like 992 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 1: it's something right, and then those games are probably gonna 993 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 1: be close to once we start getting at the post exactly. 994 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,879 Speaker 1: So now, like you look at the NFC and to me, 995 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,319 Speaker 1: I literally had just did the top five list for 996 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,320 Speaker 1: CBS Sports and my top five NFC teams four or five, 997 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,719 Speaker 1: well the I mean the Bucks were on by but 998 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,319 Speaker 1: three at the top five lost on Sunday, So like 999 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,960 Speaker 1: I literally had my number five team was the Tampa 1000 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,160 Speaker 1: Bay Bucks. And yes, they had just come off the 1001 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,319 Speaker 1: loss from in New Orleans, you know, Trevor Sidmey in 1002 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. But I'm like, you still got time 1003 00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 1: terrific and they proved last year they don't need home 1004 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 1: field advantage to win anywhere. That defense is gonna start 1005 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,480 Speaker 1: getting a little bit healthier. The secondary members are starting 1006 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 1: to come back, so they'll be all right. And then 1007 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,600 Speaker 1: at number four, I had the Arizona Cardinals and I 1008 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,880 Speaker 1: was like, you know what happened to them last year, 1009 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:39,920 Speaker 1: it seems like it's happening again this year. They were 1010 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 1: six and three. Then Kylin Murray started getting banged up 1011 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 1: a little bit. They started having some injury bugs. They 1012 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,400 Speaker 1: struggle stopping the run. But then with the backup quarterback 1013 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,919 Speaker 1: they go to San Francisco, stopped to run, get after 1014 00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 1: the quarterback and run for like two hundred yards with 1015 00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,480 Speaker 1: James Carna because Edmunds, because Jase Edmonds gets hurt and 1016 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,719 Speaker 1: it's't even in the game, and Connor just you know, 1017 00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 1: it goes back into the time seeing it goes back 1018 00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,319 Speaker 1: to like his first year in Pittsburgh and it just 1019 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 1: went crazy. So I'm like, damn, are they're the best 1020 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 1: team now? And then at three I had Green Bay, 1021 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 1: which I think Green Bay is still a really good team. 1022 00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 1: They lost the game without Aaron Rodgers, so to me, 1023 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,440 Speaker 1: they're still a top three or top two team in 1024 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,840 Speaker 1: the NFC. Then I had the Dallas Cowboys and we 1025 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,319 Speaker 1: saw what happened to them, like that deal show there 1026 00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:20,400 Speaker 1: was nowhere to be found in that offense was nowhere 1027 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,319 Speaker 1: to be found. And then the number one team I 1028 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:23,640 Speaker 1: was like, has to be the l A Rams with 1029 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,920 Speaker 1: the acquisition of von Miller. Now he didn't play Sunday, 1030 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,279 Speaker 1: and would that have made a big difference, you know, 1031 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:34,320 Speaker 1: maybe possibly, But the way the Tennessee won that game 1032 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:36,279 Speaker 1: was their defense. It wasn't had nothing to do with 1033 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 1: von Miller. Like the defensive we had to pick six, 1034 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:43,280 Speaker 1: another pick like Von Miller couldn't have changed that outcome. 1035 00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:48,439 Speaker 1: I think these teams have elite quarterbacks and sometimes they 1036 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,439 Speaker 1: feel like, and we've talked about this, they gotta put 1037 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 1: the ball in their hands. Case Matt Stafford, who's phenomenal, 1038 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,160 Speaker 1: I've never seen him playing like that. That that was baffling. 1039 00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,800 Speaker 1: But there's still you're not running the football like you 1040 00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,320 Speaker 1: used to the exactly well I mean. And the crazy 1041 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,440 Speaker 1: thing is, you know, Henderson has played really well, but 1042 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,000 Speaker 1: for some reason, he was coming out and I didn't 1043 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,400 Speaker 1: get this right. I get, I got you got, you 1044 00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,759 Speaker 1: got the franchise quarterback you always wanted. But you've won 1045 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,359 Speaker 1: so many games this year because you've been balanced on off. 1046 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,600 Speaker 1: It's like Henderson has been able to run the ball 1047 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,400 Speaker 1: like running football. They can't out the game, ain't and 1048 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 1: we're going five wide like Tennessee's d line wasn't like that. 1049 00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:29,960 Speaker 1: They got welcome to the party real quick and they 1050 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 1: realized that, but it was too late. I got bunching 1051 00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:37,360 Speaker 1: them out mid season. Give me one. I had Colin Murray, 1052 00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 1: but with the injury, and then also how they played 1053 00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:44,239 Speaker 1: on that Thursday night and lost to um what they 1054 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,799 Speaker 1: lose to get on that it was a great lay 1055 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,000 Speaker 1: package without their top three receivers, I would have to 1056 00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:53,480 Speaker 1: say it's lamartin nobody's like you're talking about value. There's 1057 00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:56,360 Speaker 1: nobody that's more valuable to their team than Lamar Jackson. 1058 00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,359 Speaker 1: Like every week, this guy finds a way even when 1059 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:00,880 Speaker 1: the easies to play get his best. He finds a 1060 00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 1: way to put the team on his best, struggle every 1061 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,200 Speaker 1: week to win games, and he comes through every week. 1062 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,320 Speaker 1: So like the disrespect has to be out the window 1063 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,320 Speaker 1: now with Lamar to me, he is the front runner. 1064 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 1: He literally could win the m v P probably every 1065 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 1: year if if voters were smart, because nobody does more 1066 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,440 Speaker 1: for their team then Lamar Jackson and like to me, 1067 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,399 Speaker 1: they're probably them in Tennessee have to be the top 1068 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,480 Speaker 1: AFC teams And that could change in a week or so, 1069 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,439 Speaker 1: we don't know, but to me, and then it would 1070 00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:31,959 Speaker 1: have to be probably Colin Murray after that, then a 1071 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:37,880 Speaker 1: a Ron and then Tom I love watching what from Pittsburgh, 1072 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,480 Speaker 1: But Lamar to me still Miles Garrett right now is 1073 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,080 Speaker 1: the front runner for Defensive Player of the Year. You 1074 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:44,800 Speaker 1: have to you have to put him as a front runner. 1075 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,600 Speaker 1: I mean the leaves the league in sax right now, 1076 00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,680 Speaker 1: and it's just purely domining. Like the things he does 1077 00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:54,040 Speaker 1: against the double team is ridiculous. He's not a human being, 1078 00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,000 Speaker 1: all right, Lamar Jackson mid season MVP. You heard that 1079 00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:00,399 Speaker 1: for months. We thank Ryan Griffin for joint us an 1080 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,719 Speaker 1: official Jets podcast. Before we get out of here, give 1081 00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:05,840 Speaker 1: me an X factor on each side of the ball 1082 00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:09,440 Speaker 1: for the Jets against the Bills. So against the I'm 1083 00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,480 Speaker 1: gonna go to on defense, right, it's it's got It's 1084 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:16,480 Speaker 1: a group of the defensive tackles like the Bills guards 1085 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,359 Speaker 1: have struggled this year, and and with Feliciano being out 1086 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,080 Speaker 1: with injury on I R you know, Cody Ford and 1087 00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:25,080 Speaker 1: and sixty from the Bills have have really struggled. So 1088 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:29,000 Speaker 1: I'm looking at yeah, yeah, I'm looking at Quinny Williams, 1089 00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,399 Speaker 1: you know, Sheldon Rankings and Folly. This this is your 1090 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:35,040 Speaker 1: game this week. Like, um, you guys struggled, you know 1091 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:38,160 Speaker 1: against you know, the Coats in the run game. But 1092 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:39,920 Speaker 1: this is a week where they're gonna drop back and 1093 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,719 Speaker 1: pass the ball. So it's it's your week to shine, like, 1094 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,640 Speaker 1: go get it. And then on offense, I'm gonna have 1095 00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:49,840 Speaker 1: to say it's I was going back and forth between 1096 00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,960 Speaker 1: Corey Davis and we don't know if Tyler Croft will 1097 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,280 Speaker 1: be ready to go, and I know he got banged 1098 00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,640 Speaker 1: up in the game. Yeah, I think he might be out. 1099 00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,960 Speaker 1: But you know, I'm not trying to lead the witness here. 1100 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,000 Speaker 1: But you just mentioned toe Ron Johnson possibly being hones 1101 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 1: for the Bill. I was gonna say, Crowder or Elijah 1102 00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:12,640 Speaker 1: More is gonna be big this game, being able to 1103 00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,200 Speaker 1: attack him, but also in that cover too, just like 1104 00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 1: last week, being able to attack down the seam. So 1105 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,400 Speaker 1: I was maybe gonna throw Tyler crowfind But maybe it's 1106 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,279 Speaker 1: Ryan Griffin, who you know we just talked to, So 1107 00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,640 Speaker 1: maybe that's I would say a combination between Crowder, More 1108 00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,439 Speaker 1: and Griffin. I think it's gonna be fun. Though, do 1109 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,200 Speaker 1: you do you anticipate both teams to come out with 1110 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:32,879 Speaker 1: their hair on fire? I mean, the Bill has got 1111 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,400 Speaker 1: to be embarrassed they considering themselves an elite team. And 1112 00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,280 Speaker 1: then you're looking at the Jets who had ten days 1113 00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,719 Speaker 1: lickt their wounds after what happened in Indianapolis and their home. Yeah, 1114 00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,560 Speaker 1: you gotta be hungry if you're to Jets like you've 1115 00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,399 Speaker 1: had to steal in that loss for ten There's nothing 1116 00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:47,759 Speaker 1: worse than stewing in a loss for ten days and 1117 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,239 Speaker 1: then realizing, man, I don't get to play football for 1118 00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,640 Speaker 1: ten more days. I really have to eat this loss. 1119 00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:54,680 Speaker 1: So they should come out with their hair on fire. 1120 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,200 Speaker 1: They'll be at home. The crowd of bi rockets. Um. 1121 00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,160 Speaker 1: You know, it seems like Mike White's gonna start, so 1122 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,920 Speaker 1: it's it's gonn be a fun atmosphere. We'll see what 1123 00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:04,719 Speaker 1: happens on Sunday. All right, we'll have to see what 1124 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:13,480 Speaker 1: happens on Sundays. Do set. We'll see you next week 1125 00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:15,000 Speaker 1: from
