Speaker 1: and Eric Coleman. Here we will also be joined by

9
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: Jets rookie Titan Chris Hernan, who is on quite a

10
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: scoring terrory. But first things first, the Jets dropped to

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: three and five at the midway point with the twenty

12
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: four the ten loss to the Bears in Chicago. Overall,

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: what were your major take with you know, this game

14
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: was it was a frustrating game. You know, there obviously

15
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: were the pre snap penalties. Uh, you know, I thought

16
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: defensively they played strong, but they gave up a few plays.

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: And when you're when you're struggling offensively, the defense can't

18
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: give up big plays. So, uh, you know that's my

19
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: that's my my side on it. From a defensive perspective

20
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: of course you take that defensive perspective. I mean because listen,

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: as a defensive player with the rookie quarterback, when when

22
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: things aren't going well, you have a lot of injuries,

23
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: you feel like you have to make up that time.

24
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: You have to make up for the loss of players,

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: of stars on the offensive side, so you have to

26
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: play followers football, and those a couple of mistakes came

27
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: back to hurt him, all right. So the Jets caught

28
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: somewhat of a break when in the one of the

29
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: NFL's premier defenders was declared an act of Khalil mcna

30
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 1: in a lineup. But the Jets aren't gonna feel sorry

31
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: for any ball club, especially offensively Sam Donald right now,

32
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: he was operating Sunday afternoon that Soldier field without Quincy

33
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: and Noon while I was still dealing with that sprain ankle.

34
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson is top deep threat out with the quad injury.

35
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: Blal Paul placed on injury reserve earlier that week with

36
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: the bulging disc in his neck, and then finally Spencer Long,

37
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: his center, was out of the line up. He's dealing

38
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: with the finger injury right now. Jonathan Harrison started for

39
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: the Jets so they total just two hundred and seven

40
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: yards of offense. What do you think of Donald's performance

41
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: and how difficult is it for a rookie quarterback who's

42
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: eight games into his NFL career to be dealing with

43
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: dealing with so many shuffling pieces out there. Yeah, it

44
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: makes it tough. You know. You think of this rookie

45
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: quarterback who spent his whole offseason working with these receivers,

46
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: working with Robby Anderson, Quincy and noon While and just

47
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: gaining a rapport with them, and then all of a

48
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: sudden the middle of the season, they're out with injuries

49
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: and you have to start working with guys who you

50
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: who you don't have any experience with. And another tough

51
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: part about that is that these are the second third

52
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: string receivers. They're going against the other team's ones. Chances

53
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: are when you have your ones going against the threes

54
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: and twos of another team, they're gonna win. So they're

55
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: challenging a lot of the short routes that Sam Donald

56
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: loved to hit, so so you know so much what

57
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: Quincy and done. While he hit a short route, Quincy

58
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: break a tackle, make it a first down. Teams are

59
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: starting to make Sam Donald play left handed. They're forcing

60
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: his hand, trying to make him throw deeper routes and uh,

61
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: with the receivers that he has right now without the rapport,

62
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: it makes it tough. It certainly does. I mean, you

63
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: got to think about what Donald's been dealing with lately.

64
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: Richard Matthews into the lineup. Deonte Burnett was the Jets

65
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: leading receiver. The guy was activated from the practice squad

66
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: just last week. Your main curse has been a regular

67
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: in the lineup, a fixture for him. But Andre Roberts,

68
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: who's a special team's ace for this squad at returner,

69
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: he's getting regular ERPs, as is Toron Peak. These are guys,

70
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys we're playing for Sam Donald

71
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: to three weeks ago. Yeah, I mean, and it makes

72
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: it tough. You know, the familiarity, and I think that's

73
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: why you're seeing Chris Herndon gets so much love. I mean,

74
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: he only had one catch yesterday, but three straight games

75
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: with a touchdown. Sam feels comfortable with him, and he's

76
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: gonna go in tough times when when he's facing pressure,

77
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: when when you're losing games, you're gonna go to who

78
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: you trust. And it's hard to trust someone who you

79
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: haven't had many reps with a guy who just activated

80
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: from practice squad, someone who you just signed. You know,

81
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: it makes it extremely hard. But hopefully they can they

82
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: can gain that back. They can gain that through practice,

83
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: through film, study, understanding one another, where you know, Sam

84
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: could tell him, you know, this is how I want

85
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: you to run the route, and then you start to

86
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 1: gain that trust with the players. I'm not worried about

87
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: Donald's confidence, are you No, not at all. You know,

88
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: this is a guy who when he faces adversity, he's

89
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: on waivered. You know, when he when he goes through

90
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: his highs, when he throws touchdowns, he's still the same guy.

91
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: And that's what you love out of Sam Donald. He

92
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: has that maturity where he's not gonna get too high,

93
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: not gonna get too low when things aren't going well.

94
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: You mentioned the defense or early on. I thought they

95
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: played very well in the first half. They gave up

96
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: the big screenplay to Drink calling right off the gut

97
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: for seventy yard touchdown, But the Bearers had seven points

98
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: at half high And this is the Chicago team that

99
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: at average nearly thirty six points a game in their

100
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: previous three games coming into that ball game. What changed

101
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: in the second half when the Bears were able to

102
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: score seventeen points and specifically when the Jets cut that

103
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: ball game to a one possession contest on Herndon's touchdown

104
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: at seventeen to ten. Why we were the Bears able

105
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: to go right down the field? Well, you know that

106
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: that was a frustrating drive. You know, the Jets come

107
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: down to score touchdown, cut it to a one touchdown game,

108
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: and you're you're you're waiting on your defense, who've been

109
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: playing well for you the whole game and playing well

110
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: with the whole season, and they let down. Uh, you know,

111
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: penalties extend drives, you know, you give up plays on

112
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: third down to to keep the change moving, keep that

113
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: drive going, and it gets kind of frustrating. But at

114
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: the end of the day, if the offense is getting

115
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: off the field on three announced, they're doing six play drives,

116
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: not getting not flipping the field, it puts a lot

117
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: of pressure on that. Do you feel that How much

118
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: do you feel that as a defender, Because now the

119
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: last two weeks, the takeaways haven't been there for the Jets,

120
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: those momentum changing plays haven't been there. Yeah, you know

121
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: you feel it, but again that's your job as a

122
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: defensive player. You go out there and and right the wrongs.

123
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: You know, if your offensive struggling, you have to pick

124
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: it up. And it's tough getting turnovers when you're playing

125
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: behind because that team is not forced to throw the football,

126
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: They're not forced into a certain situation. They're not one dimensional.

127
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: So when your team puts up points and you have

128
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: to lead, that's when you that's when the team is

129
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: your Your defensive line can pin back their ears, the

130
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: safeties in the in the corners can start jumping to

131
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: routes and forcing those turnovers. It's tough to do when

132
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: you're playing from behind. Inside. The Jets is supported by

133
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: selective insurance responses everything. What do you think about the

134
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: response from Marcus May yesterday comes out there with that

135
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: damage thumb all wrapped up and he leads the Jets

136
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: and tackles. Yeah, it was great to see. You know,

137
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: Marcus May does a great job of tackling. H I

138
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: love how he takes space from the ball carriers. You know,

139
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: he makes those those tough tackles, those difficult tackles look

140
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: easy when there when there's a big distance between the

141
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: ball carrier and himself. He takes that grass, cuts off

142
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: the angle, comes in with with force and does a

143
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: great job of wrapping up. I love the way he

144
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: plays the game. He's a great free safety for the Jets.

145
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: We got about thirty seconds before our first break. What

146
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: do you do about the pre snap penalties? The Jets aid,

147
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,239
Speaker 1: I believe seven against the Bears. Yeah, that that's something

148
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: that the team has to handle within themselves. You know

149
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: you have to take responsibility. You cannot continue. It's week eight.

150
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: You know you can't continue to to take turns, making

151
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: mistakes and putting your team in in situations where it's

152
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: first and fifteen that there's not many plays that gets

153
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: you out of first and fifteen. It stops to drive,

154
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: It stops all your momentum, and it has to come

155
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,440

Speaker 1: terms of a rookie to have touchdowns, scoring receptions and

177

178
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: my my mom and girlfriend told me. But it's a

179
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: it's a huge honor and I'm so thankful and you know,

180

183
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: compete at the highest level. When did they say that

184
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: to you? They had a conversation with them last night

185
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: over the phone, or when did you find out? I

186
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: found out all of this today around this morning afternoon time.

187
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: That's special, man. So let me ask you this. You know,

188
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: your rookie year, how has it been. You know, you're

189
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: a Georgia boy, went to school in Miami. What has

190
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: it been like being with the Jets in New Jersey

191
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: in the New York area. Um, it's definitely a different environment,

192
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: especially you know with the weather. It's getting real cold,

193
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: and I still have yet to you know, get the

194
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: the proper attire for up here, but I'm definitely gonna

195
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: get on that. But as far as the environment, it's

196
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: it's very welcoming. My teammates and when you know, the

197
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: rookies came in, they they were very welcoming for us

198
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: and you know, welcomed us with open arms and you know,

199
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: told us, you know, just follow them. And UM, I've

200
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: enjoyed ever since we talked about it today. Chris, that

201
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: your roommate when you got here the flooring park was

202
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback to Sam Darnold. How did that relationship blossom

203
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 1: in the springt um It's really hard to say. We

204
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: kind of when we first moved in, we didn't really

205
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: say much to each other. We just knew we were

206
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: teammates and we kind of just jelled easily. Though we

207
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: didn't talk much. We weren't very talkative guys, but you know,

208
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: we both very studious, and you know, after practice, after

209
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: rookie KMP, we'd come in and both get in our

210
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: playbooks and if I had a question, you know, obviously

211
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: he's the quarterback, so I went right to him and

212
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: he was, you know, more than happy to help me

213
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: with anything that I needed. So, Chris, I can ask

214
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: you this, what is your forty times? Because you didn't

215
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: get the run out the combine right, But when I

216
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: see you out there on the field, you're separating from dbs,

217
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: you're separating from the linebackers, and you have a ton

218
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: of speed. If you had a gauge, what do you

219
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: what do you think around about numbers for your forty

220
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: I say about a four six nice Okay. Inside the

221
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: Jets was presented by e Y Building a Better Working World,

222
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: Eric Ellen, Eric Coleman, and Chris Hern and Soul the Bears. Um,

223
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: you guys wearing that ball game in the fourth quarter,

224
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: your touchdown brought it to a one possession game. Can

225
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: you take me through the route? And did you know

226
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: pre snap, good opportunity here I'm gonna get the football. Um,

227
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: it was just the basic sideline route. Um. I saw

228
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,599
Speaker 1: once we got lined up in our formation that the

229
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: guy planned me man was inside of me, and I immediately,

230
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, take advantage that. Once the ball snap, I

231
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: just took off full speed, kind of took them vertical,

232
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: stemmed it off and came flash. You know, he could

233
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: have undercut it. And once I made my cut, the

234
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: ball was already coming. I just you know, made a

235
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: play on it. And that's that. And you, you and

236
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: Donald are hooking up each and every week. What did

237
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: you do with We talked about it earlier today. What

238
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: did you do with that first ball? Your first career

239
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: touchdown against the Indianapolis Colts. Tremendous play called by Jeremy Bates.

240
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: There everybody's thinking screen and there goes Hernon on the

241
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 1: boat on the Girl Rock. Oh, if you go and

242
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: watch the play. I held on to the ball very tight.

243
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: You know. I didn't want to let all the emotion

244
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: from my first NFL touchdown make me do something like

245
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: spike it or throw it in the stand, So I

246
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: held it really tight. My teammates made fun of me,

247
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: but I got to the sideline and I asked them to,

248
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, hold it for me, and you know, make

249
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: sure I get it. But it's still in the equipment

250
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: room right now. Right. Oh, yeah, they're decorated and they stay.

251
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: So I'm waiting to see what it looked like when

252
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: they finished up. And where are you gonna take that

253
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: back to Georgia or what? Yeah, I probably take it

254
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,599
Speaker 1: back home. Let my parents do something with it. I

255
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: probably I won't do much with it if I keep

256
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: finding But how a lot of that baby type? Okay,

257
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: how about the pre draft A process about a year ago, calendar,

258
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 1: a year ago, Miami's playing Pittsburgh. You go down with

259
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: the knee injury. At that point, what immediately goes in

260
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: your mind? Um? It was weird. Uh, you know I

261
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: told you earlier when it happened, I didn't really feel

262
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: it happened. It just happened so quick. But I knew

263
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: when I got up something was wrong because my legs

264
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: felt loose and weaker than usual. So I kind of

265
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: limped to the sideline, and once I got there, I

266
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: just I kind of knew what was going on because

267
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: my my leg was a little bit unstable, and I

268
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: just let out a quick cry and I went back

269
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: to the training area where they took me under the

270
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: tent and started examining me, and they told me I

271
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: was done for the game. Found the news the next

272
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: day that it was a torn and yell, and you

273
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: know that was that now? Now, Chris, I had a

274
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: couple of spraying m cls and never toured all the way.

275
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: How long did it take you to gain back that trust, because,

276
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, the m cls on the inside of

277
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: your knee, it messages with your stability. How long did

278
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 1: it take for you after that recovery to get back

279
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: to just planting on the full speed running full go um,

280
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: It took a while. I know when I was first

281
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: able to run, I was really unsure about it and

282
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: I didn't really trust it that much. And you know

283
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: where I trained that they were you know, pushing me

284
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: each and every day, making sure that I wasn't holding

285
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: back either, and um, I'm so thankful for that. And

286
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: you know, once I was able to run again, it

287
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: probably took about the extra two or three months. You know,

288
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: I got into rookie camp. They they helped me with

289
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: it there and gave me a brace just to be

290
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: safe and around the middle of campus. When I finally

291
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: took the brace off and I felt good. Then were

292
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: you ever frustrated during the pre draft process, because you're

293
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: probably be thinking before that Pittsburgh game, Hey man, I'm

294
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: gonna finish out the year with the Kynes. We're gonna

295
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: go in, We're gonna take care of business in the

296
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: ball and then I'm gonna be raring to go. Uh

297
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: for all these workouts and things like that. Instead, your

298
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: days were full of recovery and treatments. It was it

299
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: was pretty frustrating at times. You know, there was a

300
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: point where I couldn't even bend my knee from being

301
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: in the brace for so long. And you know the

302
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: process of you know, even being able to pedal on

303
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: the bike and then getting on the treadmill and taking

304
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: slow steps on that, it was really frustrating, But I

305
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: don't think I really got to down because I knew,

306
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: you know, the work ethic that I had, that I

307
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: could overcome that and come back better. So you come

308
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: from University of Miami, you know, a school tradition, has

309
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: a lot of tradition at the tight end position, Jeremy Shocky,

310
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: Kellen Winslow, you know a ton of guys came from

311
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: before you. What does it mean to be in the

312
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: NFL making a big difference coming from University of Miami

313
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: and representing your school. Oh, it's pretty cool, you know

314
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: when you get it there. Well, for me, I wasn't

315
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: really a Miami fan growing up. That's what's weird about it.

316
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: I didn't learn about the history until I got there.

317
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: But once I did and start to understand it, you know,

318
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: you take a lot of pride in it, and you

319
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: just try to live up to that. And you know,

320
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: you try to, you try your best to, you know,

321
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: be your own self and not try to you know,

322
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: you look up to him, but you don't want to,

323
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: you know, do anything that's out of Europe, you know, play.

324
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: But you know, I just I went in there each

325
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: and every day gave my all to the team and

326
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: worked hard and you know, now I'm up here playing

327
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: with the grads and hopefully, you know, I'll get a

328
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: chance to meet a few of them. That's go. So

329
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: none of them came back to Shocky ever come back

330
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: or any tidy ends in the NFL come back and

331
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: kind of give you some knowledge about the position and

332
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, the ins and out of what it's gonna

333
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: take to get to the next level. Yes, sir, um Shocky.

334
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: He came back my sophomore summer leading into junior year.

335
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: And you know at that time it was me, David

336
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: and Joku and Standish dough Bar, we were all the

337
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: tight ends there. And he came back, you know, helped

338
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: us with blocking, told us about route running, and you know,

339
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: just you know, talk to us afterwards for a little bit. Um,

340
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: how have you made that impact over the last three weeks,

341
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: Because it's to me, it's like it's a starting point

342
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: for you and Sam Donald I tweeted this yesterday. So

343
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: when you guys got in the red zone, I said

344
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: herndon time question mark, and sure enough Sam dialed you

345
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: up on the next play. But now it's three consecutive

346
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: consecutive weeks, where is your confidence level now that you

347
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: continue to get the football and you're scoring. Um, it's

348
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: definitely slowly going up, you know, like a you know,

349
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: tell everybody's just gonna come with you know, practice time,

350
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, studying film, learning my opponents, and also watching myself,

351
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, being very critical after games and you know,

352
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: not just looking at what I do good and you know,

353
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: going and see what I did wrong and try to

354
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: capitalize on watching film and you know, just continue to

355
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: put that into my work ethic and make sure I'm

356
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: you know, trying to be the most complete tight end

357
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: that I could be. Now, now you seem like a

358
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: quiet guy, but you turned into a great receiver right now.

359
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: All the great the great receivers are known to come

360
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: back in the huddle and tell the quarterback listen, I'm

361
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: open every time. At what point are you gonna start

362
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: doing that with Sam? Um? He probably just la some

363
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: notes under the time. I don't know, I've never really

364
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: been that type. You know, it's kind of just let

365
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: let the game really come to me. Um. You know,

366
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: I definitely, like I said, I'm starting to feel my

367
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: confidence continue to grow and you know, the faith in

368
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: myself continue to grow. And seeing that I can compete

369
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: with these guys at this level, is you know definitely

370
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, starting to show, and I'm just going to

371
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: continue to you know, do the coaches are asking them me.

372
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna, you know, really force anything. So so

373
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: this probably goes back to your college days. But has

374
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: there been that time in the NFL game where you

375
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: see who's gardening and you're like, man, this guy can't

376
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: cover me. Have you Have you been through that? And

377
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: if so, was it a safety or a linebacker? Do

378
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: you prefer going against one or the other? Honestly, I

379
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: it's hard to really say that. You know, before the play,

380
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: I don't really necessarily sue who's guarding me. I just

381
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: kind of get a peek of who's there, and you know,

382
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: if I'm running a route, try to see how I

383
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: can run that route. I don't I haven't really paid

384
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: attention much to who's guarding me. But you know, not

385
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: like a cocky way. I just, you know, some more

386
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: of us get over against anybody. I tried to. How

387
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: can you guys gain a more traction as a whole

388
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: collectively offensively because I know that we're out a lot

389
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: of three and outs against the Bears. The run game

390
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: really wasn't there, and there were a bunch of pre

391
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: snap penalties that help you guys back. Um, I feel

392
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: like that's just gonna come with you know, practice time,

393
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, starting to you know, amp up how we practice,

394
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, don't come out you know flat, come out

395
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: with energy even because that leads to the games as well.

396
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: So I feel like, you know, the more we emphasize

397
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: that practice and get reps and you know, film study,

398
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: taking notes, asking questions and you know, just continue to

399
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: gain that chemistry is when others gonna come. It's gotta

400
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: be interesting of Lake Chris when you go to the

401
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: huddle because you don't know it's gonna be lining up

402
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: next to you. Uhau goes to into reserve. So Richard

403
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: Matthews was added last week, you had Robby Anderson out

404
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: of the lineup. Um, Deante Burnett comes up. It's a

405
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: lot of pieces in and out right now for this team. Yeah,

406
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, it's just what comes with the game. Injury

407
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: comes and you know, like you know Sam said earlier,

408
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: you can't really make excuses because at the end of

409
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: the day that they're not gonna stop the game. You're

410
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: they're not gonna stop practice, and we gotta go out there.

411
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna feel bad for you. Yeah, we gotta go

412
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: out there with what we have and you know, trust

413
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: that we practiced well enough and you know, got the

414
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: reps and go out there and give your all to

415
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: the team, and you know, every thing else come to you. Chris,

416
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: what was your favorite sport growing up in Georgia? Because

417
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: you were a state champion three times, three times doing

418
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 1: football and wanting basketball. Um, that's funny. Um. Growing up,

419
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: I actually used to swear that I wasn't gonna be

420
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: a football player because basketball was really like my thing

421
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: growing up. I started playing when I was four or five,

422
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: and it was definitely my favorite compared to football. I

423
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: didn't really like it. I was younger, I was weak,

424
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: and I feel like basketball just came to me naturally

425
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: at a younger age. But around freshman sophomore year in

426
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: high school, you know, start getting the weight room, got

427
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: my weight up, and saw that I was able to

428
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: compete with the varsity guys, and that's when I started,

429
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: you know, leading more towards football. Who was your team

430
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: growing up as far as uh hoops? Did you like

431
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: the Hawks or did you like some other team, and

432
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: who were some guys you luked up to in terms

433
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: of hoops? And also what position did you play in

434
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: high school? Were you? Were you stretched four? I mean

435
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: stretch three? What were you doing? I find a little

436
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: bit of the three, four and five because I had

437
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: a little jump shot, you know, not a lot I could.

438
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: I could, you know, shoot it well here and there,

439
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: but I could guard the the other teams big man,

440
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: just because you know, football helped with that. So my

441
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: coaches always used to, you know, let me guard them,

442
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: and you know it's pretty successful against him. But as

443
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: far as hoops went, my team was the Hawks, and

444
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: I used to follow Joe Johnson heavy. You know, when

445
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: he was there, he was the he was the guy there.

446
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: He had to you know, the city alive when he

447
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: was there, and you know, he just he just I

448
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: like the way he bought. Now I'm gonna date myself here, Chris.

449
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: I go back to thinking about the Hawks and say,

450
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: Dominique Wilkins, you ever take a look at some of

451
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: those sidelights I hear about him. Oh, come on, I

452
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: mean it does sound bad, but I was more of

453
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: a in my I'm a dinosaur. Yeah, I wasn't a

454
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: type to go back and look at older highlights. And

455
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: I kind of watched Michael Jordan before he you know, retired,

456
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: but other than that, I didn't really go back too far,

457
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: but I do I have seen highlights of him. So so,

458
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: what about football wise, have you always played tight end?

459
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: And if so, who were some of the guys that

460
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: you looked up to growing up at that position? Um?

461
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: Football wise, I actually haven't played tight in my whole life.

462
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: I started off playing a center, which is another reason

463
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: why I wasn't trying to play when I was younger.

464
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: Then I worked my way to a little quarterback but

465
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: not a lot, and then receiver just because you know,

466
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: when I was younger, I was you know, skinnier. But

467
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: when I finally put my weight on, that's when I

468
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: started playing more tight end. But you know, being in Atlanta,

469
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: you know I saw players like Algae Crumpler and Tony

470
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: Gonzalez and I really looked up to them because, you know,

471
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: they were great pass catchers and also could block and

472
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: you know, get their nose dirty. And I really looked

473
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: up to that because I, you know, I always wanted

474
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: to be a complete tight end. Once I started playing that.

475
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: How much pride do you take in your blocking. I'm

476
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: glad you mentioned that because a lot of people are

477
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: becoming aware of Chris Herndon's receiving skills. But if you

478
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: watch the tape at Miami, you were a guy who

479
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: didn't mind getting his nose dirty. Um. I've always taken

480
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: a lot of pride in it because it's a way

481
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: to not just show yourself what your team that you're

482
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: selfless and you're willing to do whatever they need you

483
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: to do too ultimately help your team win. And you know,

484
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: when I was back in Miami, we emphasized blocking a lot.

485
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: You couldn't or if you weren't willing to block, you

486
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: really weren't gonna play. So you know, you just went

487
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: to practice every day and that was one thing we

488
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: worked on every single day. What do you think of

489
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: the role the tight end in Jeremy Bates offense? Because

490
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: I know j B likes the use of the tight

491
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: ends Donald I've asked him about the tight ends here

492
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: and he loves this group. And Bates specifically says, this

493
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: is not a roster that has a fullback, so sometimes

494
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: times you guys might be used as a fullback. Other

495
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: times they'll take advantage of Chris Herningon's receiving skills and

496
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: put your out why and then other times, of course

497
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: you're gonna be asked to stay in line and be

498
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 1: a blocker. Um. I feel like they use the tight

499
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: ends in a very unique way in our offense, and

500
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: it gives us a chance to to, you know, just

501
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: expand our knowledge of the game, just because they're putting

502
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: us in so many different places, and you know, we're

503
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: having to watch film on different guys, different positions. So

504
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: I feel like they do a good job of mixing

505
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: it up with us. And you know, when they put

506
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: us in, you know, it's our job to make a

507
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: play when our name is called, our numbers called, and

508
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: whether it's catching or blocking or even putting us on

509
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: special teams, you know, we gotta go on there ready

510
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: for whatever. So going down to Miami, how many ticket

511
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: requests have you received? Are some of your boys gonna

512
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: come watch you play or are they gonna be on

513
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: the road still? You know, they actually have meetings and

514
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: practice on Sundays, so most likely don't get to see them.

515
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: But you know, my my family is gonna come down,

516
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: and I have some friends down there that won't be

517
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: in I mean football practice. But other than that, I'm

518
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: not really you know, stressing out. I let my parents

519
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: under the ticket. But how comfortable are you playing in

520
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: the stadium. It's gonna be like a home game for you. Yeah.

521
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: I got pretty comfortable while I was there, and it's

522
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: gonna be different now because I've been playing in the

523
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: chili Chili weather for about three weeks, so I know

524
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: I've been hydrating already. Well, it is your first return

525
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: matchup in the National Football Football League, and the Jets

526
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: will have revenge on their mind because Miami took you

527
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: guys down in week two in the home opener. But Chris,

528
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: you're off to a great start with the New York Jets.

529
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: We thank you so much for stopping by here tonight,

530
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back here on Inside the Jets.

531
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thanks for having me. Welcome back

532
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: to Inside the Jets. Eric Gallen and Eric Coleman here

533
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: at Bannon Bilk's Sports and Spirits Decide the Windham Hamilton's

534
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: Park Hotel. Our player guest segment was brought to you

535
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: by Ivant Bank, official community bank of your New York Jets.

536
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: We just heard from Chris hernon what have you thought

537
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: about his play early on in his NFL career? The

538
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: Jets might have found themselves a steel in the fourth

539
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 1: round of the two thousand and eighteen draft. Yeah, I'm

540
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: excited about Chris. You know, he's done a great job

541
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: and you can tell by the interview he's very humble.

542
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: You know, football is important to him. Uh. You know,

543
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: I think that this is a kid who's going to

544
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: continue to grow immature and become a star in this league.

545
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: You know, with him and Sam having a great relationship

546
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: with one another, things are only gonna get better for

547
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: the two of them. Do you think it really does

548
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: help that bond between a quarterback and a pass catcher

549
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: that those guys room together in the spring, that they

550
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: were Neither one of them are the most boisterous around

551
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: when you're talking about guys, but very is studious. That's

552
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: what hern It said that caught my ear, and you

553
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: knew they were bouncing things off of each other each

554
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: and every day. Yeah, you know, And and the Jets

555
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: do it by design. You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna

556
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: put my number one tight end with our quarterback, you know,

557
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: because we want them to gain that relationship, and and

558
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,719
Speaker 1: it means something. You know, when you when you when

559
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 1: you're going through practice, when you're going through games, situations,

560
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna lean on the guys who you spend time with,

561
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 1: the guys who you like and and grew upon with.

562
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: So I think that's very important for them to gain

563
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: that relationship. Uh. You know, Chris can under get an understanding. Listen,

564
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: run the routes. Run the routes this way. I want

565
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: you to snap it off at ten yards this time.

566
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: You know, they start to gain get little nuances in

567
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: their routes, and uh, and great things happen. You asked

568
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: him about his forty times. He is very athletic, is there?

569
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: He is? He's you can see it in the way

570
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: he plays. His game explodes on the top of his route.

571
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: Tell me about the lee, So tell us about the

572
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: challenges from safety. Okay, from a safety position. You know,

573
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: I think about guy A guy who he mentioned in

574
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: one of the player as he looked up to was

575
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez. You know, I got a chance to play

576
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: against him in Atlanta for for three years. And Tony,

577
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: when I'm telling you, at the end of his career,

578
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: he was not the most explosive guy. But every single

579
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: day before practice he worked at the top of his route,

580
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: changing direction, and so he would work at the stem

581
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: and every time in the game, everyone in the stadium

582
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: will know it's third down and six, the balls going

583
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: to Tony Gonzalez. He would find a way to make

584
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: that separation and to get that catch. And I see

585
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of that. And Chris once he makes

586
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: that break is when he's making defensive backs and the

587
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: linebackers uncomfortable because he has so much explosion and it's

588
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: only gonna get better when he learns the position. The

589
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: Jets have reached the midway point in the two thousand

590
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: and eighteen season. They are three and five. I mean, yes,

591
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: they were there are three or five after eight games

592
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: for a third consecutive year. What do you know about

593
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: this team? What I know about this team is, uh,

594
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: they're fighters. They're hard working, but they're young. You know that.

595
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: You can see the youth in the way that they

596
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: play from the mental mistake, but you also see it

597
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: by the intensity at which they take the field. Uh.

598
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: You know, these guys are hard workers. Defensively, they're flying

599
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: around every play. Offensively, there's been some some shiny moments,

600
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: but what they're gonna have to gain, what that experience,

601
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: is that consistency. Because the consistent teams are the ones

602
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: that have success throughout the year and that that are

603
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: going on playoff runs and making these these big runs

604
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: at the playoffs. So I think I think experience is

605
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: gonna help with that. They're gonna continue to get that,

606
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: and uh, I love the future for this, for this team.

607
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: But what I want to ask you is, I think

608
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people were taken aback yesterday when Todd

609
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: Bowl said he was very proud of the way the

610
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: Jets fought, stayed together, fought collectively. Just the feeling there.

611
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: And a head coach knows his team better than anybody.

612
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: So a lot of people looked at that ballgame and

613
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: said the Jets didn't really have too much, they didn't

614
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: bring too much to the game. But the head coach said,

615
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: I liked the way my group came together. Yeah. You know,

616
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: when when there's a team with tension, you can feel it.

617
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: You can feel the aggravation on the sidelines, you can

618
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: feel in the in the locker room, on the flight

619
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: home with this team, you can see on on on

620
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: the film. You can see it by the way they play.

621
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: They actually like each other. This is a bunch of

622
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: a group of guys who are fighting for one another

623
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: instead of for themselves. You know, I've been a part

624
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: of teams where we have a ton of talent and

625
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of individuals out there playing. You never

626
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: have success. But once you start to make that fist

627
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: and start playing for the man next to you, that's

628
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: when you start to have success. And and that's what

629
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: Todd Bows was talking about. These guys like each other,

630
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: they like fighting for one another, and they're missing a

631
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: couple of pieces right now. But as you start to

632
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: add those pieces, some of the younger players get experienced,

633
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna start winning and it's gonna be a long

634
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: span of winning for the Jets. Well, the schedule is

635
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: going to be different too, because going to Chicago being

636
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: so banged up, that's the tough assignment. Now, this assignment

637
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins. I'm not taking anything away from Miami,

638
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,239
Speaker 1: but this is a different kind of outfit. And then

639
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: you host the Buffalo bill as a team was they're challenging, Uh,

640
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: they're facing challenging times themselves. The rookie quarterbacks out, they

641
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: can't score offensively. They have a good defense. But first

642
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: things first, Morris Clayborne said, Miami, it is a must win.

643
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: Is it a must win? Absolutely, it's a must win.

644
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: And you look at the next five games. Four out

645
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: of the next five games our division opponents down. So

646
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: this is when the season really starts, and it starts

647
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: with Miami, and it's gonna be all about the Jets.

648
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: And I'm not really worried about the opponent who they

649
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: play against. It's about the Jets beating themselves. If they

650
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: can take care of business. Everybody, take care of your assignment,

651
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: do your job, make that play when your number is called,

652
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna win a lot of games, all right. So

653
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: if you go back to the start of the two

654
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: thousand seventeen seasons, the Jets are just two and ten

655
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: on the road. Now, they started this season with the

656
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: Bank going into Detroit and blowing out the lines. But

657
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: what is this team have to do to have consistent

658
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: success away from MetLife Stadium? Because you know, weekend, week

659
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: out at MetLife Stadium, the Jets are either gonna win

660
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: or they're gonna be in the ball game. Late it's

661
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: been a different kind of feel on the road over

662
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: the over the course of the last year and a half. Yeah,

663
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: you know, when you're playing at MetLife, it's like going

664
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: into a fight and you got your big Brothers data

665
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: behind you. You know, all those fans that MetLife are

666
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: are really gonna impact the game. When you go on

667
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: the road is different. You have to lock arms, you

668
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: have to put your back against the wall and come

669
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: out fighting. And that's what this team is gonna learn.

670
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: That's what they're learning. You saw it in the Detroit game.

671
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: I believe this week you'll see it at Miami. This

672
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: is a different team. They're fighting for something, They're fighting

673
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: for one another, which is more important than anything. Yeah,

674
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: it really struck me in the locker room last night,

675
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: the way the guys were talking. Leonard Williams I was

676
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: in his media huddel. He said, it's not the same

677
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: old Jets. We have each other's back. Yeah, it's different,

678
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: and you can see it. You know, no one didn't

679
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: work out. You can see it watching. Yeah, you can

680
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: here watching. You know it's a completely different team you're

681
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: not seeing. Yes, there are a couple of pre snap penalties. Yes,

682
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: there were a couple of mistakes but you know, I

683
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: take for example, the play with Cohen when he had

684
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: that big screenplay. It was a mental mistake, but that

685
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: was a tough position for any player to be in.

686
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: You know, the linebacker at the time was covering him

687
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 1: as all out blitz. His assignment is to cover the

688
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 1: running back, Avery Williamson. If that running back blocks Avery

689
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: Williamson adds onto the blitz. Now, if you watch the film,

690
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: Tyreek Terek Cohen looked like he was gonna go block Avery.

691
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: So right when when every saw him set up the block,

692
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: he saw red and he's going he slipped him at

693
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: the end, and right after he took that second step,

694
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: you saw Avery turn around and say, oh man. But

695
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: then it's too late because Tyreka Tarik is an explosive player.

696
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: And that's not a mental mistake. That's just a lapse.

697
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: That's just a lapsing in play that that can be corrected.

698
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: And if you eliminate some of those big plays in

699
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: that game, it's a much different game. What's the teaching

700
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: point there for Williamson? Though? Do you be a the

701
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: jet sent seven? Is it a complete bull rush? Do

702
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 1: you go in there and knock Tarik Cohen on you

703
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: know what, my big teaching point on that situation is

704
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: awareness understanding that Tarik Cohen is not in there to

705
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: block you. He's a small running back. He's one of

706
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: those wild card players that they're gonna run reverses too,

707
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: They're gonna throw trick plays too. He's in there for

708
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: a reason to catch that ball. When you see him

709
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: lining up in the backfield and you have him, go

710
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: grab him, go grab, don't let him out. So in

711
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: our final segment, I want to discuss the trade deadline

712
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: with you because that occurs tomorrow across the National Football League.

713
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: But first things first, I do think the Jets are

714
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: gonna get some help from within. Robby Anderson deal with

715
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: that spraying ankle. Will have to monitor his status. You know,

716
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: he's a South Florida guy. He definitely liked to be

717
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: in a line up against the Dolphins this week. Jeremaine Johnson,

718
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: it seems like he's inching closer to a return as

719
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: while he's been out for a number of games now

720
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: with that quiet injury, Buster Screen was back in the

721
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: line up last week uh Sunday against the Bears, as

722
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: was Marcus may So. I do think the Jets are

723
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: gonna get healthier. The Paul going into reserve, that's a

724
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: tough blow. You're just gonna have to deal with it. Yeah,

725
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: the the injuries guys coming back is gonna be big.

726
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at Spencer Long. He's in the

727
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: center of that offensive line. He tells everybody where to go.

728
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: And without that's like your quarterback for the offensive line.

729
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: Without him, guys get kind of confused, and they were

730
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 1: starting to gain that chemistry on the offensive line. Once

731
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: you get him back, things change. Once you get Quincy

732
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: back and Robbie back, the whole thing changes. But when

733
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: you talk about the trade deadline, it's, uh, you know,

734
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: I think the Jets for right now, they have the

735
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 1: pieces they need. You know, Yes, they're gonna have to

736
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 1: add something the draft and through free agency after the season,

737
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: but I think this is a young team that has

738
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: a great foundation. All Right, we'll hold that thought because

739
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 1: we gotta get into the trade done line and our

740
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: final segment, we will be right back here on Inside

741
00:36:53,200 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: the Jets. Welcome back to Inside the Jets were broadcasting

00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 1: to seeing you the following week right here at Vanderbilt.

747
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:30,760
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt's on November twelve, Eric Allen alongside Eric Coleman before

748
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: we get to the trade deadline. Man the shirt tonight.

749
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: I like it, but you're scaring me with the gun.

750
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: I mean, people who are watching this right now and

751
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: all the Jets platforms can check that out. Was today

752
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: armed day in the gym? Today was not an armed day.

753
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: It was chess day. But listen, I have two daughters

754
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: and I have to make sure that when they come

755
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: of age, I have to be able to knock one

756
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: of these young guys out. Oh yeah, yeah. I have

757
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: to stay ready for oh you're ready man, and my

758
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: little guys coming up. He's probably gonna be bigger than me.

759
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: So I gotta stay strong. Because fortunately for all of

760
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 1: us here at Vanderbilts tonight and who have been at

761
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,720
Speaker 1: inside the Jets throughout the two thousand and eighteen season,

762
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: we've gotten a chance to know Eric better and he

763
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: is a nice guy. Because if Eric was me mugging anybody,

764
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: everybody would be out of this restaurant right now. We'd

765
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: all be running on the streets quickly. Okay. So I

766
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: want to thank Justin who's helping us out here tonight,

767
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: Brian back in the studio of course, breath, Jack and

768
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: Frank who are here every every week. From the Jets

769
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: trade deadline, do you want to see the Jets sit

770
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: tight or Mike mccagnet should be working the phones as usual.

771
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: I would like them to sit tight. Okay, listen, this

772
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: trade the trade deadline is for teams that are in

773
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: a situation to win right now, and not saying that

774
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: Jets can't win right now, but they're not desperate for

775
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 1: that for those pigs. Also, not having a second round

776
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: draft pick. You need as many draft picks as you can.

777
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 1: You can't be giving them away in trades. You're gonna

778
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 1: need to develop this team from from the youth coming up.

779
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 1: That's how you build consistency, and I think that's important

780
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: that they hold onto that. The draft capital is very

781
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: important when you're trying to build a team. Mike mccagnon

782
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: has always said that he wants to build this thing

783
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: through the draft. The Jets do have a lot of

784
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: financial flexibility moving forward in terms of this spring and

785
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: then beyond. So a guy like Levian Bell, if you're mccagnon,

786
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: you just let things play out and maybe we'll see

787
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: in the spring and yeah, yeah, well we'll see, you know,

788
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: if there's a need for him. But you know, I

789
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: think Isaiah Crowel Blau Palette have done a great job.

790
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: Lebyan is gonna have a heavy price tag, so you're

791
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to you can get a couple of players

792
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: for Lebian So you know, it's always tough, you know,

793
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: And I do not want to be in Mike mccagnon's

794
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 1: seat because that's a tough position. You have to balance

795
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: out the finances with the skill set and how old

796
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: they are. There's so many different things that go into

797
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: And I say reinforcements are coming, I mean it because

798
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: the Jets are very high. I Needlie McGuire now, Trent

799
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 1: and Cannon has been forced into duty. He's gonna get

800
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: valuable robs here with Isaiah Krol. But McGuire had a

801
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 1: fantastic spring. He's answering his second season. Who'll be eligible

802
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 1: to return off of injury reserve this week? He could

803
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: provide that offensive spark and that's a much needed spark.

804
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 1: You know, Elijah McGuire, as you mentioned, just a player

805
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: similar to Bala Paw that can do at all. He

806
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: can where, he can pass, block, he can run the ball,

807
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: he can catch the ball out of the backfield, and

808
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: he's very explosive. So that's gonna be a major upgrade

809
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: for the Jets offense. Jack On Hide. In terms of

810
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: the run game, what do you point to? Um, you

811
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: know what I point to this week. Listen, the Chicago

812
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: Bears have a great defensive line and Kim Hicks and

813
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: was dominant down the middle of the offensive line. I'm

814
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: losing Spencer Long for that week. You lose that chemistry

815
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: and when you have that chemisy, you need that chemistry

816
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 1: to get the run game going. You know. Also, you

817
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 1: know when you're playing from behind, it's tough to run

818
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: the football. So you know, I think that it'll come back,

819
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 1: that the Jets will gain that run game back, and Uh,

820
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be vital in helping Sam Donald. The Dolphins.

821
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: They came to Mylife Stadium in Week two. They one

822
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: twenty to twelve ball game. They came out of the

823
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: gates hot. Uh, they kind of slowed down a little bit.

824
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: Last time we saw that was national television against the

825
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: Houston Texas. Deshaun Watson was finding a lot of open receivers.

826
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if you had an opportunity to watch

827
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: that game, but what do you think is going on

828
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: with Miami right now? You know, it's tough. You know,

829
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: you are seeing a lot of blown coverage in that secondary,

830
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: and which is something you're not really accustomed to, especially

831
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: with guys like Rashad Jones back there, who's a Pro

832
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 1: Bowl safety. Um. You know, I think losing Tannehill hurts

833
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: them a lot, you know, and you go back to

834
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 1: the to the fact that when you don't have Tannehill,

835
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: a guy who can move the chains with his feet,

836
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: he was throwing the ball pretty well, giving the defensive rest.

837
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: I think that defense is broke, breaking down offensively, they're

838
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: not putting up points. Brock Osweiler, you know, I listen,

839
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: he's a talented player, but he has not found a

840
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: way to have success in the NFL thus far. You know,

841
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: I think the Jets are gonna have to continue to

842
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:16,720
Speaker 1: apply pressure to the Dolphins and uh and the biggest

843
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: thing this week is no big plays. If you don't

844
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: give up big plays. You give yourself an opportunity to

845
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: win them. So I think that's one thing that they

846
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: have to learn from the last matchup against the Dolphins.

847
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: And Defonte Parker did have a big game against the Texans,

848
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: but he is a guy who a lot of people

849
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: think could be actually on the trading block himself for

850
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Yeah, you know, for a team that for

851
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: you've seen a lot more trades nowadays, you know, And

852
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: I think it's because of the the younger gms, uh there.

853
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: There are a lot of them are friends that grew

854
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: up in this business together, and everybody's in the analytics.

855
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 1: Everybody's into winning right now, and you're seeing more trades

856
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: than ever. So it wouldn't surprise me to see him

857
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: get traded because a lot of guys who who I

858
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: thought we're gonna stay put have been traded to Marii Cooper.

859
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: You know, there are a lot of people in a

860
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,919
Speaker 1: round this league, but the Raiders fire Cell. You don't

861
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen there anybody, But if you're John Gruden,

862
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: I kind of understand it. Be's you got a ten

863
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: year deal and you want to build this baby. The

864
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: way you want to build it. He's got five first

865
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,439
Speaker 1: round picks over the next uh two years. It's gonna

866
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: be interesting to see what Oakland does. But this is

867
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: inside the Jets. We talked about it before. You think

868
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: it's a must win in Miami. What do you make

869
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,919
Speaker 1: of going down there in early November where it will

870
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 1: be hot and you've been up here playing at cooler

871
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: temperat the temperatures of late How do you prepare for that?

872
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: Because there's nothing you really can do inside the facility

873
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,320
Speaker 1: for that. No, there's nothing you can do except for

874
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: be hydrated, you know, just and you have to weather

875
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: that storm when you get down there. You know, the

876
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: first couple of drives are gonna be tough. You're gonna

877
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: be gasping for air, You're gonna be acclimating to that heat.

878
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 1: But I think the Jets caught a break going down

879
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: there in in November, you know, I remember, I remember

880
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: a couple of times playing them in December. That's when

881
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: it's really tough. When when the snowing up here, when

882
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: it's you know, below forty, below thirty degrees, then you

883
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: gotta go down to eighty five degrees and play. That's

884
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 1: when it's tough. But either way you weather the storm,

885
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: you know, your body acclimates to it, continue to stay hydrated,

886
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 1: and the Jets will be fine. Did you enjoy going

887
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,720
Speaker 1: down in South Florida to play the Dolphins? Because whenever

888
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: you're going down there, there are big pockets of that

889
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: stadium green and white. Absolutely. You know, I remember playing

890
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: for the Jets and uh one great memory of playing

891
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: down in Miami was Jonathan Film towards the end of

892
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: the game leading the j e t s Jets chant

893
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 1: and it was a great feeling. You know, New York

894
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: UH travels well, but there's a lot of New Yorkers

895
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: down in South Florida and they love the Jets and

896
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: they continue that loyalty. So we're gonna need all the

897
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: New York fans to either make that trip down there

898
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: are the ones down there come to the game and

899
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: represent the Jets. What changes for the young rookie quarterback

900
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 1: Sam Donald as he'll be seeing a team for the

901
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: second time for the first time in his professional career.

902
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: You know, if you think, if you go back to

903
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: the first game Sam Donald was was tricked into an interception.

904
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: You know, I think that now that he's he's more

905
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: he's more um acclimated to the NFL game and seeing

906
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: how defenses are playing him. You get to look at

907
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 1: see how the Dolphins all the different variances of the coverages.

908
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll be tricked into any coverages. I

909
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: think that you'll see some big plays this week because

910
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: he is a little bit more familiar with their defense.

911
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: And it would be huge if the Jets were able

912
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: to get the Robby Anderson back in this lineup. It

913
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: would be you know, he changes the way a defense

914
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: has to to play the game. His speed, it must

915
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: be respected, allows teams to play more too high safeties.

916
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: That's more run opportunities for Isaiah Kroel, you know. So

917
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,319
