Speaker 1: And it is a hand off the Chris Ivey right
Speaker 1: up the middle as room runs right to the twenty five,
Speaker 1: gets to the thirty. There he goes to the forty
Speaker 1: right side line fifty every down the sideline of the
Speaker 1: forty at the thirty inside all the way down to
Speaker 1: about the bill twenty three before he's run out by

Speaker 1: New Jersey. Larry Hardisty and Eric Allen will take your
Speaker 1: phone calls. A little later in the show one a
Speaker 1: hundred nine one nine three, seven seven six will be

Speaker 1: Happy new You're good to see you, Happy New Year.
Speaker 1: I was really thinking we will be preparing talking about
Speaker 1: the Jets wild Card game this week and and unfortunately
Speaker 1: it wasn't in the cards for the New York Jets.
Speaker 1: It was a hall of a season. This team won
Speaker 1: four games last year, and eventually I think fans are
Speaker 1: gonna be able to take a step back and say, hey,
Speaker 1: what did this team accomplish in two thousand and fifteen
Speaker 1: and won ten games? They go ten and six, but
Speaker 1: they put themselves in position to get to the postseason
Speaker 1: a win in their in scenario going up to Buffalo,
Speaker 1: the team felt very confident, had a healthy amount of
Speaker 1: respect larity for the Buffalo Bills before they went there
Speaker 1: for the return matchup. But they could not get it done.
Speaker 1: And Uh, it's a tough one. It's a bitter pill
Speaker 1: to swallow for everybody inside that locker room. Uh, Todd
Speaker 1: Bowle said it today. Hey, bottom line is our goal
Speaker 1: is to get to the playoffs and compete for the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And he wasn't willing to give himself a grade.
Speaker 1: He said, I can do a lot of things better.
Speaker 1: This team can do a lot of things is better.
Speaker 1: But ultimately, uh, a lot of disappointment for the New
Speaker 1: York Jets today. But when we take a step back
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, we can say, hey,
Speaker 1: this was the start of something a first year GM,
Speaker 1: a first year head coach, a lot of new players,
Speaker 1: new systems across the board, and the Jets took a
Speaker 1: step forward this year. They did. And it's listen, it's
Speaker 1: a bit of pill to swallow. It's tough for the players,
Speaker 1: is tough for the fans, it is tough for the
Speaker 1: coaching steps, tough for everybody that follows the Jets. And
Speaker 1: we go back to it, Eric, and you look at
Speaker 1: it and it's it's that word that we talk about
Speaker 1: all year long. It's about the execution. It was about
Speaker 1: and you look at the stats. Stats don't lie. It
Speaker 1: was about execution on third down. Defensively, there were issues.
Speaker 1: They could not get off the field on third down.
Speaker 1: They couldn't advance drives on third down. Offensively. I mean
Speaker 1: when you I mean think about this, the time of
Speaker 1: possession was almost two to one. That's that's a situation
Speaker 1: where it's about execution. And you get buffalo credit. They
Speaker 1: made plays. And you look back and you go and
Speaker 1: you say, you know what, you you learn from this,
Speaker 1: You look at the film, you come back next year
Speaker 1: and you say, you know what, we were that close.
Speaker 1: We put ourselves in position. You take the positives from it,
Speaker 1: and you move ahead self inflicted wounds. I mean, you
Speaker 1: look at the Bills. They converted nine a twenty on
Speaker 1: third down. You talk about time of possession. The Bills
Speaker 1: were on the field, it felt like all afternoon, thirty
Speaker 1: nine minutes and all Conversely, the Jets offense, especially early
Speaker 1: in that ball game, failed to find a rhythm and
Speaker 1: they were just three of twelve on third down. So
Speaker 1: the Bills kept on getting off the field. And then
Speaker 1: there were some tough breaks to on special teams. A
Speaker 1: short punts set up the bills first touchdown, a miss
Speaker 1: field goal in there as well. You think about some
Speaker 1: penalties early in that ball game, a fourth down call
Speaker 1: where we knew the Bills were gonna do everything. They're
Speaker 1: gonna pull out all the stops and it looked like
Speaker 1: they're gonna go for it, but you know, EJ. Manuel
Speaker 1: draws the Jets off with his cadence. There were just
Speaker 1: too many mistakes and with all that being said, you
Speaker 1: thought the magic was gonna be there once again. Ryan
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick hits Eric Decker decks back in the end zone.
Speaker 1: It's a two point game, the Jets are driving. It's
Speaker 1: nineteen to seventeen, and you're thinking, here's the moment, because
Speaker 1: we've seen it so many times before the late season
Speaker 1: magic magic against the New York Giants, against the Dallas Cowboys,
Speaker 1: against the New England Patriots. You thought it was there
Speaker 1: one more time and the Jets weren't scoring territory. Fits
Speaker 1: tries to hit Decker one more time. Unfortunately Leotis McLevin
Speaker 1: intercepted the football and what happened at that point there
Speaker 1: were still ten minutes left in the fourth quarter, but
Speaker 1: the Bills sustained to drive. They not only turned the
Speaker 1: Jets over, they went down the field, they held the
Speaker 1: ball once again and they converted with point and then
Speaker 1: the Jets and desperation mode, tried to get that final touchdown.
Speaker 1: A pair of turnovers late, and that's something that this
Speaker 1: team hasn't been doing over that five game win streak.
Speaker 1: Was Hey, they were not turning the football over and
Speaker 1: they were getting off the field on third down. Sammy
Speaker 1: Watkins had a tremendous day, but the Jets even in defeat.
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall fourteen touchdown pat touchdown reception of the year.
Speaker 1: Fits throws for two touchdown passes. He sets a franchise
Speaker 1: record with thirty one touchdowns in a season. Marshall set
Speaker 1: the career UH franchise receiving market in terms of the season,
Speaker 1: where he finishes with fourteen thirty four deck his first
Speaker 1: a thousand yard receiving season as in New York Jet
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory's first a thousand yard rushing season as a Jet.
Speaker 1: Darrell Reeves comes up with his ninth. Takeaway. A lot
Speaker 1: of individual accolades, but the bottom line was this team
Speaker 1: was shooting for the postseason, and you know that was
Speaker 1: a tough locker room last night. The finality of the
Speaker 1: NFL season is so cruel, Larry. This team thought they
Speaker 1: were on a special run. And today when you were
Speaker 1: inside the locker room, we're gonna be talking with both
Speaker 1: Tommy Bohanan and Eric Ducker here later on the show.
Speaker 1: You know you felt it in the locker room. Brandon
Speaker 1: Marshall said it today. This was a special group and
Speaker 1: every season you start a new so these guys know
Speaker 1: they started to build something here. But now things are
Speaker 1: gonna change an offseason. What's gonna happen in free agency?
Speaker 1: Who you're keeping, who maybe is gonna depart in free agency?
Speaker 1: So changes on the way. No team is this and
Speaker 1: is the same in the National Football League, No year
Speaker 1: is the same. But for year one of what Todd
Speaker 1: Bowles was trying hard to do here and uh GM,
Speaker 1: Mike mccagnan, they did a really nice job. I think
Speaker 1: judge fans again, when they have a chance to soak
Speaker 1: it all in and take a step back, they'll realize,
Speaker 1: you know, there are a a lot of good things happened
Speaker 1: here in two thousand and fifteen. Absolutely, and and and
Speaker 1: that's once you get over that bitter pill. Eric, that's
Speaker 1: what you focus on, and you look at what was accomplished.
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, offensively, you've got an offensive tandem here.
Speaker 1: Uh You look at so many years when this was
Speaker 1: a ground and pound offense and people you're like, you look,
Speaker 1: I look at other quarterbacks have done at three thousand
Speaker 1: yards of a a year and whatnot, and we're just running
Speaker 1: the ball. Now you have an offensive tandem where you
Speaker 1: can get the ball down the field. And you look
Speaker 1: and you say, okay, we've got we've got the start
Speaker 1: of something. We've got the nucleus here. Now we just
Speaker 1: add some pieces and everybody goes through it. There. Your
Speaker 1: lockingroom changes every year because of free agency, because of
Speaker 1: various things and that that go on with personnel. So
Speaker 1: you know, you you look at the sity situation, say, hey,
Speaker 1: we were in there, we had an opportunity. We more
Speaker 1: than doubled our wind total from last year. Now we
Speaker 1: move forward, and now our challenge is to be even
Speaker 1: better next year because everybody's gunning for you. Now everybody
Speaker 1: knows what you're gonna do. Everybody knows how dangerous you are.
Speaker 1: You may have stuck up on some people. You heard
Speaker 1: the predictions six months they're going to score all this
Speaker 1: other stuff. So now everybody knows how you're going to score.
Speaker 1: Now the challenge for Todd Bowles and Mike mccagnean is
Speaker 1: to take that next step moving towards where you want
Speaker 1: to have, which is sustainable success every season. You know
Speaker 1: what was fascinating to me that today Todd Bowles was
Speaker 1: asked during his news conference, Hey, do you think this
Speaker 1: team has to become younger in the future. He said,
Speaker 1: I don't know if we have to become younger, but
Speaker 1: what we do have to do is we have to
Speaker 1: become faster. Todd bowls. He He's not going to give
Speaker 1: you a ton as fire as He's not gonna be
Speaker 1: expansive with his an there's very direct. He'll tell you
Speaker 1: exactly how he feels. And moving forward, looking at this
Speaker 1: football team, he wants to increase the speed. Uh. You
Speaker 1: mentioned what this team did offensively this season. Uh, total yards.
Speaker 1: No Jets team produced the monitotal yards that this team did.
Speaker 1: They had a balanced offense at times. What we saw
Speaker 1: down the stretch was when the run game wasn't there,
Speaker 1: the Jets were able to figure it out with their
Speaker 1: past game. You mentioned dec Key's here today tonight Brandon
Speaker 1: Marshall was just incredible and then other guys stepped up
Speaker 1: as well. What hurt the Jets? And I know a
Speaker 1: lot of people were talking to me about it. You
Speaker 1: talked to folks about it last night. Was Hey, what's
Speaker 1: the deal with Chris Ivory? Well? Why did Stephen rid
Speaker 1: Why was Steven rely so much in the backfield? Well,
Speaker 1: Ivory was on the injury port all last week with
Speaker 1: the knee injury. Blah Paul who gave this team a
Speaker 1: tremendous joel late in the season and did not play.
Speaker 1: So people were asking me this all night and even
Speaker 1: into today. Larry was, Hey, what was going on with
Speaker 1: Ivory while he was on injury port last week and
Speaker 1: limited in practice, so chan Gaily In preparation for this
Speaker 1: game against the Buffalo Bills, the Jets got Stephen Ridley
Speaker 1: ready and he was involved in a lot of packages.
Speaker 1: I will say this though Ivory did have more reps
Speaker 1: in the backfield then Ridley. Now you look forward, the
Speaker 1: Jets have a number of big name free agents. Chris
Speaker 1: Ivory first a thousand yards season, he potentially could hit
Speaker 1: free agency. Blah, Paul. We think about the defense alignement,
Speaker 1: uh Mohammad Wilkerson, who unfortunately suffered a tough brake, broke
Speaker 1: his leg last night, fibula. He's gonna have surgery over
Speaker 1: the course of the next week. He's scheduled to be
Speaker 1: free agent. Damon Snacks, Harrison, and of course the quarterback
Speaker 1: as Ryan Fitzpatrick. Todd Bowles was clear about it today.
Speaker 1: Larry said, we want to have Ryan Fitzpatrick back, and
Speaker 1: if he is back, he is the starter. But again
Speaker 1: in the financial unfortunately in the National Football League, you
Speaker 1: can't keep everybody, and that's what Bulls said today. Bottom
Speaker 1: line is you're gonna have to make tough decisions. That's
Speaker 1: as part of the business. We live in a salary
Speaker 1: cap era and we'll have to see what the Jets
Speaker 1: off season plan is this year. But I have a
Speaker 1: lot of trust in faith and Mike mccagnan, considering and
Speaker 1: all the guys he hit on in his first year
Speaker 1: as GM. While the Jets did a great job in
Speaker 1: free agency m via the trade route last off season.
Speaker 1: The short day then, and the tricky thing is to
Speaker 1: make the changes increase your talent, but not messed with
Speaker 1: the chemistry. And you have but so much so it's
Speaker 1: going to be interesting balance and that's what Mike mccagnan
Speaker 1: this challenge with Van Duel. Try one week Fantasy football

Speaker 1: Jets start partner. Let's bring in Eric Decker, Jets wide
Speaker 1: receiver who's played to rundous football for the Jets and
Speaker 1: signing as a free agent. Uh, A couple of springs
Speaker 1: to go. You guys had a phenomenal season when you
Speaker 1: look at what you were able to accomplish. Take us
Speaker 1: through and we've talked about, but take us through that
Speaker 1: whole ride of learning, uh, learning to work with Fitzpatrick Long,
Speaker 1: how to balance it with Marshal in just that whole
Speaker 1: right to get you to where you are. When you
Speaker 1: have a moment when you get over this and you
Speaker 1: look back, can you appreciate what you guys came from. Well,
Speaker 1: it was an exciting year and I think, um, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's frustrating, and it's it's tough because we are
Speaker 1: in the situation to go up. It's go to the
Speaker 1: playoffs to win, to get in. I mean, that's all
Speaker 1: you can ask for at that point. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: looking back, I think, you know, all of a sudden
Speaker 1: fits Pastier comes week three preseason, and you know we're
Speaker 1: trying to catch up and build some chemistry as an offense,
Speaker 1: and you know that that takes time, and we kind
Speaker 1: of evolved over the season. We started out very fast
Speaker 1: and defensive, playing tremendous give us a chance to win.
Speaker 1: And then we you know, stumbled a little bit, had
Speaker 1: a rough pass there for a while. I played some good,
Speaker 1: good teams. But I think that was, uh the realization
Speaker 1: for us that you know, it made us come together
Speaker 1: and figure out what our identity was, what kind of
Speaker 1: football team wanted to be. And we've got in that
Speaker 1: five game winning streak, and you know, confidence was an
Speaker 1: all time high. I thought we were playing really good
Speaker 1: comparing football, um, and we and we had really the belief,
Speaker 1: you know, from the coaching staff, the locker room, everyone
Speaker 1: was all in and and uh, you know, then you
Speaker 1: come to a game like yesterday, it's just the weather
Speaker 1: was tough, But I mean you just didn't make enough plays.
Speaker 1: You didn't do enough as a team um to put
Speaker 1: ourselves in a winning situation. So it's just it's a
Speaker 1: hard one to swallow. And as you know, I was
Speaker 1: obviously gonna be tough throughout the offseason and hopefully a
Speaker 1: lot of guys can use as motivation to come back
Speaker 1: next to your bigger and stronger. A lot of guys
Speaker 1: talk about what the locker room was like this year,
Speaker 1: and folks watch you guys on Sunday, But to a man,
Speaker 1: it felt like to me, for somebody who's in there
Speaker 1: each and every day, that you guys really liked being
Speaker 1: around each other, and then there was some special chemistry
Speaker 1: going on. Can you talk about that and what can
Speaker 1: you point to and say why that happened, why that developed? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was, it was. It was so much fun this
Speaker 1: year coming to work every day, and especially when you're
Speaker 1: winning football games, it comes that much more fun. And
Speaker 1: I always look back, you know, to my experience in
Speaker 1: Denver and we went to the Super Bowl. You know,
Speaker 1: I felt like we had that the same vibe, that
Speaker 1: same feeling in the locker room that you know, there
Speaker 1: was no big egos, everyone respected one another, everyone kind
Speaker 1: of knew what their role was. We believed and trusted
Speaker 1: in one another, and uh, and that's what it was
Speaker 1: this year. And I think, you know, from the start
Speaker 1: of the season, we slowly figured each other out. And
Speaker 1: I think when you go through some hard times, it really,
Speaker 1: you know, it brings up the character the best of you.
Speaker 1: And and guys leaned down one another and we came
Speaker 1: together and may I tell you what, um it's five
Speaker 1: games we want to row. It was something most fun
Speaker 1: I've had playing football. Eric. It's it's interesting to watch
Speaker 1: you guys grow and and and get closer together and
Speaker 1: see that on the field where the quarterback just looks
Speaker 1: you have eye signals and hand signals and you guys
Speaker 1: are just going on one accord like that. How much
Speaker 1: fun is that for? You know, that's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of like backyard football. You just
Speaker 1: you're out there playing, you know, and obviously we have
Speaker 1: our philosophy and and uh what coach Gailey you know, calls.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, us as players,
Speaker 1: we see on the field and we can adjust and
Speaker 1: and make those things. And once you get on that
Speaker 1: level where you know it is the hand signals. It
Speaker 1: is just kind of the look, uh you can, you can,
Speaker 1: you know, go as far as you want, and um,
Speaker 1: I think that experience we had this year carried over
Speaker 1: uh into next year, is going to help us tremendously.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's still difficult thinking about
Speaker 1: we're thinking about next year. Brandon Marshall spoke in the
Speaker 1: locker room today said mentally, I'm burned out just from
Speaker 1: the season ending right now. And he had such a
Speaker 1: tremendous season as you did it, as fits did in
Speaker 1: a number of guys in that locker room, what's the
Speaker 1: next step for you? Do you have to get away
Speaker 1: from it? Because Brandon was like, physically I feel great,
Speaker 1: I feel like you can play for twenty years. But
Speaker 1: I have to get away just for a little bit
Speaker 1: to give my mind to rest. Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: think over the course of four months that were there,
Speaker 1: I mean, you get burnt out physically, emotionally, mentally everything,
Speaker 1: and and when you lose a heart record like that,
Speaker 1: when your expectations are, Okay, we're gonna win this one
Speaker 1: and we're gonna give ourselves a chance to be in
Speaker 1: a dance and you know, it doesn't happen that way. Uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta get away from it. You gotta kind of
Speaker 1: remove yourself from football. Obviously I'm still a fan of
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll watched playoff games, but you know, reading
Speaker 1: every day on my score mobile app or you know,
Speaker 1: looking at War Center. I'll probably get away from that,
Speaker 1: start watching cartoons with the kids. Um. But yeah, you
Speaker 1: just kind of gotta gotta get away, remove yourself, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of flush it out and then you know when
Speaker 1: you're ready again mentally, emotionally, get back into working out
Speaker 1: and get back into you know, swinger things. You've been
Speaker 1: on the team that's going to the Super Bowl, so
Speaker 1: you have that understanding, that feeling, that that knowledge of
Speaker 1: what it takes to get there. Uh do you sense
Speaker 1: the beginnings of that here? You know, to be honest,
Speaker 1: getting the Super Bowl it's a fine line. You know,
Speaker 1: every team is so good in this league. I think
Speaker 1: the talent wise, we are definitely there. I think the
Speaker 1: foundation has been set this year, Uh, with the attitude,
Speaker 1: with kind of the mentality that Coach Bowls has brought in. Um. Now,
Speaker 1: really it comes down to execution. So that's that's on us.
Speaker 1: Players of kind of know what our roles are and
Speaker 1: doing our jobs the best of our billion throughout this year.
Speaker 1: There's times when we did a good job, a great
Speaker 1: job with it. There's times where you know, we stumbled
Speaker 1: and we couldn't you know, move the ball or defense
Speaker 1: could stop UH in offense, and you know, just those
Speaker 1: things are gonna happen. But if we want to get
Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl UH contending team, you've got to
Speaker 1: be consistent in execution. And I would say, yes, this
Speaker 1: team is is so close to potential, very very much there.
Speaker 1: It's just a matter now of you know, obviously doing
Speaker 1: it on Sundays and being consistent with it. You know,
Speaker 1: when you're on there Monday and when you're on their Sundays,
Speaker 1: just every day, you gotta you gotta be consistent. Speaking
Speaker 1: about being consistent, your head coach has been that way
Speaker 1: ever since he took over. First year, leads you guys
Speaker 1: to ten wins. What was he like today, Deck when
Speaker 1: you guys came in after such a painful loss and
Speaker 1: matt for one final time as a unit, Because you know,
Speaker 1: change is so constant in the National Football League that
Speaker 1: locker room will never be completely the same. Well, one
Speaker 1: thing I'll tell you about him, and he's a realist.
Speaker 1: He's gonna he's gonna shoot you straight. He's gonna tell
Speaker 1: you you know how it is. And I respect that
Speaker 1: so much because you know, as a man, that's all
Speaker 1: you can ask for is someone to tell you, you know,
Speaker 1: how they perceive you or uh what you know, how
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. And uh, he stepped in there obviously
Speaker 1: very frustrated, probably you know, disappointed, and just said, you know,
Speaker 1: we made some strides. Uh this isn't good enough. You know,
Speaker 1: don't be comfortable with ten and six or don't be
Speaker 1: comfortable with just being better than last year. You know,
Speaker 1: we we got uh some places to go and that's
Speaker 1: being a super Bowl team and you know we kind
Speaker 1: of set our mark here, but you know the expectations
Speaker 1: are gonna be so much greater going into next year. Um,
Speaker 1: obviously this room isn't gonna be the same. We're gonna
Speaker 1: we're gonna make some changes. Free agency happens, um, and
Speaker 1: just gotta be ready to roll when you know we
Speaker 1: we meet up in April again. Eric, I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: you off the field for a minute because we heard
Speaker 1: they add before you came on. What you're doing with bullying.
Speaker 1: You're up for a Man of the Year representing the Jets.
Speaker 1: Just just take us through that whole thing and how
Speaker 1: important that is for you to bring the well rounded part.
Speaker 1: You do a great job, you represent yourself, you represent
Speaker 1: the Jets well on the field, but something something that
Speaker 1: you do off the field, just posted this building is
Speaker 1: really really something important to you and your wife. Definitely,
Speaker 1: I ain't Giving back in general is just so important,
Speaker 1: especially you know when you have an opportunity to be
Speaker 1: a professional athlete in the community, and you know, the
Speaker 1: sport uh touches a lot of people. It affects a
Speaker 1: lot of people. And if you can, you know, be
Speaker 1: a role modet for a lot of the kids, even
Speaker 1: you know, just someone that the parents can be like,
Speaker 1: all right, this is a good guy. I want my
Speaker 1: kids to look up to him, um and to makes
Speaker 1: some impact, you know, like I said, on the community
Speaker 1: or just on people in general. And you know, we
Speaker 1: have our foundation where we rescue dogs and train them
Speaker 1: for returning veterans um and also you know, uh partying
Speaker 1: up with with with the bullying stuff. It's just incredible
Speaker 1: how prevalent it is in our culture, you know, with
Speaker 1: social media now when I was growing up, Unfortunately, I
Speaker 1: was involved in school shooting when I was in high school,
Speaker 1: and you know that that was because of someone bullying
Speaker 1: someone else. And my wife was the same way. A
Speaker 1: military kid always bullied because you know, everyone had clicks
Speaker 1: in high school and she can never fit in with
Speaker 1: any of them. So it was important to us and
Speaker 1: a hit home because you know, we have kids now
Speaker 1: and we want to make sure that it's an environment
Speaker 1: where your kids can be successful, they can have confidence,
Speaker 1: they can go and and make a difference, you know,
Speaker 1: in school and and just in their community. So anyway
Speaker 1: we can make a difference, Uh, you know, we want
Speaker 1: to be there. But the Jets Walter Payton Man of
Speaker 1: the Year. Uh, and I'll tell you what. I really
Speaker 1: love what you're doing for the servicemen and service women
Speaker 1: with Decker's Dogs, And you touched upon that a little bit,
Speaker 1: but uh, can you talk about that program and why
Speaker 1: that has meant so much? Do you? It's it's something
Speaker 1: you know, when we were in Denmo, we're trying to
Speaker 1: figure out what we wanted to get involved with because
Speaker 1: you know, we've been very fortunate. Our lives do not
Speaker 1: have anything major happened to our families or to ourselves
Speaker 1: or anyone close and her being a military kid, I'm
Speaker 1: you know, have military in my family as well. Uh,
Speaker 1: that was something we wanted to hit. And you know
Speaker 1: we we love dogs. We got two Golden Retrievers and
Speaker 1: this program. We went to the organization to visit what
Speaker 1: they did because we're trying to you know, figure out
Speaker 1: what we want to do and uh, to hear the
Speaker 1: stories from these veterans of how much it impact their lives.
Speaker 1: I mean some we're about to take their lives because
Speaker 1: you know, of the stress of the experiences they've had,
Speaker 1: or others that have had physical ailments that you know,

Speaker 1: to Eric Allen and Eric, we have our next special guest.
Speaker 1: All right, we're now joined by Jets fullback Tommy Bohannan
Speaker 1: t Bowl. Thanks for having me, Hey, thanks for being
Speaker 1: here tonight. Tommy, when you look back at the two
Speaker 1: thousand fifteen season, now it's only been a day, what
Speaker 1: stands out to you about this ball club? You know,
Speaker 1: coming from the offensive perspective, I really think that we
Speaker 1: came together as a group just starting in O T
Speaker 1: A S. We really didn't know what to think of
Speaker 1: what Shan Gailey and all that was all his offense
Speaker 1: was gonna be. We didn't know if we were gonna
Speaker 1: be a power, a running team, a spread team. All
Speaker 1: the reports where that he was a spread guy, but
Speaker 1: he kind of mixed everything together with us. Uh, like
Speaker 1: you were saying earlier, we had gino to start and
Speaker 1: then it kind of became fits at the end. And uh,
Speaker 1: he really he really helped us out with the signals
Speaker 1: and he knew the offense already and it kind of
Speaker 1: just blended together. And I think, uh, we got better
Speaker 1: every week as an offense, and we were able to
Speaker 1: put things together, and even on our our not even
Speaker 1: our best day, I think we were able to come
Speaker 1: out and do some things against some good defenses and
Speaker 1: be able to move the ball and do make plays
Speaker 1: when we needed to, and ultimately we were able to
Speaker 1: get to tenants six. Tommy, you have to be proud
Speaker 1: of your colleagues in the running back room. You guys
Speaker 1: helped Luck for one thousand yard rushier this season and
Speaker 1: Chris Pobrey, that's gonna bring some satisfaction. Take us inside
Speaker 1: that runday back room. What's it like in there? What
Speaker 1: do you guys talk about, what what's going on in there?
Speaker 1: You know, as a running back room, we always want
Speaker 1: to have the best running game in the league. We
Speaker 1: want to be the best group in the league. So
Speaker 1: for us, it's just have no emmies, do all your assignments,
Speaker 1: make your run reads, and then once you make your
Speaker 1: run read, make a play. Don't ever let the first
Speaker 1: guy make the tackle. You're never gonna get tackled by
Speaker 1: an arm tackle anything like that. So that's kind of
Speaker 1: our big emphasis. And then take care of the ball.
Speaker 1: That's another big emphasis for us is we have to
Speaker 1: take care of the ball. When the ball is the
Speaker 1: team and we carry it the most, and that's the
Speaker 1: big thing. We have to make sure that we take
Speaker 1: care of that, we make big plays and help out
Speaker 1: the offense as much as we can. So, I mean,
Speaker 1: how did your role change over the course of the
Speaker 1: last few months, maybe from entering training camp two where
Speaker 1: you were in December or January? Here is the season closed.
Speaker 1: Because the big thing the coaching staff always talked about
Speaker 1: was we gotta learn the players, and this was an
Speaker 1: evolution throughout the season, and Jane Gailey had to learn
Speaker 1: not only what you did well, but everybody else on
Speaker 1: offense and what he did mid season, and he did
Speaker 1: a masterful job at this was you guys scale back
Speaker 1: a little bit because he thought he was throwing too
Speaker 1: much out there. Yeah, I think, uh, what he did
Speaker 1: very well was being able to put all the players
Speaker 1: in the best position to make plays. I mean, I think, uh,
Speaker 1: like you said, Chris had his first thousand yards season,
Speaker 1: we had two receivers go over a thousand yards, and
Speaker 1: I think Bile had his career high end receptions and everything.
Speaker 1: So I think it was just a great job of
Speaker 1: being able to put players in position to make plays.
Speaker 1: And for us, that's all we can ask for is
Speaker 1: if you get put in a position to make a play,
Speaker 1: do it or not. That's your job. That's on the players.
Speaker 1: So I think that he did a great job of
Speaker 1: being able to do that, and for the most part,
Speaker 1: our guys made the plays when we needed to. What
Speaker 1: about your role, because a lot of times your motion,
Speaker 1: there's sometimes you're just being that's straight ahead, traditional fullback,
Speaker 1: and then other times they see you motion and out
Speaker 1: and you be part of an empty package. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that's something that was definitely able to go on
Speaker 1: as the season's progress, was being able to put me
Speaker 1: in more routes and things like that. Once he learned
Speaker 1: that I was able to do that, I mean I
Speaker 1: did that in college, and uh it really was able
Speaker 1: to help out the offense in that way and be
Speaker 1: able to open up the box a little bit more
Speaker 1: and help the running game that way, as well as
Speaker 1: being able to go out and make some plays in
Speaker 1: the past game and be able to whenever I did
Speaker 1: get the ball, to be able to make a few
Speaker 1: explosive plays. How great is that for you to have
Speaker 1: a coaching staff recognize what you can do and growth
Speaker 1: in your game of things that you work on and
Speaker 1: practicing off to the side, and then incorporate that as
Speaker 1: part of a game plan. It's definitely good to see.
Speaker 1: I mean for them to notice that, hey, I can
Speaker 1: go out and line up out wide and be able
Speaker 1: to run some stuff out wide as well as in
Speaker 1: the slot, and then still be able to do my
Speaker 1: normal fullback role. I think that that's something that is
Speaker 1: very big and it helps me and it helps the
Speaker 1: offense because a lot of times when you see a
Speaker 1: twenty one personnel with two backs at a tight end,
Speaker 1: they're thinking it's gonna be a run. But with me,
Speaker 1: they were able to split me out some and be
Speaker 1: able to run routes and I always just have to
Speaker 1: load the box and run the ball out of that personnel. Temmy,
Speaker 1: what was the feeling like when you left the field
Speaker 1: yesterday when the game it ended and another comeback attempt
Speaker 1: fell short Because the thought process all along, I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: being there in the press boxes, they got them, they
Speaker 1: got him the coming back. This is another Jets to
Speaker 1: come back, got him right there, and you guys had
Speaker 1: all the confidence in the world going to that ball game.
Speaker 1: With that being said, like I mentioned before, is that
Speaker 1: you had a healthy amount of respect for the Bills.
Speaker 1: So when you're leaving the field and the finality is
Speaker 1: right there, what's going through a month? You know, at
Speaker 1: the end of the game, with the with the time
Speaker 1: running out, we had no no doubt that, hey, somebody's
Speaker 1: gonna make a play, We're gonna win this game. And
Speaker 1: that was the belief for the last five weeks as
Speaker 1: well as yesterday when we were out on the field,
Speaker 1: was hey, there's two minutes left, we have the ball,
Speaker 1: we can do this. So that was the big thing.
Speaker 1: And then that final interception was kind of the the
Speaker 1: big blow and we kind of felt it then and
Speaker 1: just going off the sideline like I was, I was
Speaker 1: telling everybody, I mean, I wasn't expecting today to be
Speaker 1: the off season. We were expecting to be in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and that was the big thing. Like it's kind of
Speaker 1: it is a crushing defeat, but we do have to
Speaker 1: build on it. We can't wallow and defeat. We have
Speaker 1: to rise above it. And we have to be able
Speaker 1: to come out and do everything this offseason and come
Speaker 1: out next year on fire and get Hey, ten wins
Speaker 1: didn't get it this year. We gotta get more than ten.
Speaker 1: What does your ability to come back, your ability to
Speaker 1: drive down the field late in games, what does that
Speaker 1: do for your confidence as you piggyback and bring that
Speaker 1: into next season. You know, it gives us great confidence
Speaker 1: because it shows that, hey, we're never out of a game,
Speaker 1: and for us that that helps us out in any situation,
Speaker 1: be the second in the first half, when you're driving
Speaker 1: the last two minutes saying hey we can put it
Speaker 1: in before the before we have to go in for halftime,
Speaker 1: or when we're down in late in the game and
Speaker 1: we have two a minute left and we have the
Speaker 1: ball on the twenty yard line, Hey, we can still
Speaker 1: win this game. We can get down there. We have
Speaker 1: we have big play receivers, we have big play running backs,
Speaker 1: and we have a quarterback that's able to make play.
Speaker 1: So that was something that definitely we had confidence in fits.
Speaker 1: We had confidence in our offense to be able to
Speaker 1: make the plays and do the things we needed to
Speaker 1: do win to win games late in the game. So
Speaker 1: it was never we we have the confidence now and
Speaker 1: that's just gonna be able to build us up until
Speaker 1: uh we start playing in August again. Tom, you play
Speaker 1: a prominent role on special teams. I know that goes
Speaker 1: onto the radar sometimes, but uh, you know a lot
Speaker 1: of sundays you're snap count might be higher on special
Speaker 1: teams and actually on offense. You gotta you think you
Speaker 1: guys took some steps down the stretch. I know there
Speaker 1: were some uneven moments there midway through the season, But
Speaker 1: did you think it started coming together a little bit
Speaker 1: more towards the end of the season. No, I think
Speaker 1: it definitely did. We We had the two big plays
Speaker 1: that went against us when we played the Giants and
Speaker 1: the Eagles, and that hurt us. But I think other
Speaker 1: than that, I think we took step forward every week
Speaker 1: to be able to be a better special teams unit.
Speaker 1: And uh, I think that coach April did a great
Speaker 1: job of getting us together and keeping us motivated all
Speaker 1: all year to be the best team that we could
Speaker 1: on each special team. So I think that, uh, like
Speaker 1: you said, we, I think we definitely did take steps
Speaker 1: each week and I think we did progress. And I
Speaker 1: think that that's just gonna help us out through the
Speaker 1: season to uh to the offseason to have all those
Speaker 1: players together for one more year and be able to
Speaker 1: have that those special teams even be better next year.
Speaker 1: All right, So described to to Tommy Bohanden this one
Speaker 1: we described the Tommy Bohanden. That's the guy coming out
Speaker 1: of the backfield handling the ball, and the main the
Speaker 1: act that's running down on teams. So it is two
Speaker 1: different mindsets. I mean, special teams, you're running full speed
Speaker 1: and you have to just put your head down and
Speaker 1: hit somebody. Whereas out of the backfield those types of things,
Speaker 1: you have to be a more finesse guy, whether it
Speaker 1: be blocking or catching the ball. It's definitely a little
Speaker 1: bit more finesse. Now. A lot of times I'm up
Speaker 1: on dbs and linebackers that just want to make you
Speaker 1: miss and make the tackles. So for me, I have
Speaker 1: to really keep my feet and keep my head about me.
Speaker 1: And and that's a lot different than special teams, where
Speaker 1: you're going full speed, full out the whole time, no
Speaker 1: matter what. So that's just a completely different mindset and
Speaker 1: you have to differentiate that during the game. What's on
Speaker 1: your playlist before the game, what's getting you ready, uh
Speaker 1: to go out and have these collisions? Because you're in
Speaker 1: the midst of it, so I want to know what
Speaker 1: you're listening to today, get you ready. So I listened
Speaker 1: to a lot of inspirational speakers like Eric Thomas and
Speaker 1: things like that before the game, and then I uh.
Speaker 1: The soundtrack I started listening to this year was the
Speaker 1: South Paul soundtrack because that has a lot of high
Speaker 1: energy music and it kind of got me in the
Speaker 1: mood to go out and want to hit somebody and
Speaker 1: do those types of things. So it's definitely uh, I think,
Speaker 1: But most of the time, it's mostly the inspirational, motivational
Speaker 1: speakers and things like that that I listened to more
Speaker 1: than music. Did you see South Ball? I did? Great movie,
Speaker 1: was it? Yeah? I heard Creed. It's pretty good too.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that yet. I've been wanting to see it,
Speaker 1: but it's I think it's out of theaters now, so
Speaker 1: I have to wait till it gets on DVD. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to see Creed. It's gonna be interesting. Hey Tommy,
Speaker 1: thanks great season for you. I know you fell short,
Speaker 1: but you'll get over and get ready for the next year.
Speaker 1: Thanks for stopping by onto the next one. Thank you
Speaker 1: stop me behind the ladies and gentlemen jumping over to
Speaker 1: the perfect setting for fund with friends, find food and

Speaker 1: the momentum changer that's gonna just take them right in.
Speaker 1: And then another come from behind win for this Jet team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't want to watch it again because I think
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a different ending, you know, because I
Speaker 1: thought this team and was headed to the postseason. But
Speaker 1: like Tommy and Eric Decker said tonight, they gotta build
Speaker 1: on this. Things are gonna be different and they'll start
Speaker 1: a new And you know, you don't take any of
Speaker 1: those ten wins with you, and you don't take any
Speaker 1: of these six losses with you, and you don't take
Speaker 1: the fact that the Bill swapped you this season into
Speaker 1: two thousand sixteen. It's all new, but you do have
Speaker 1: a court intact. You can build off of that. And uh,
Speaker 1: I think good things are ahead for Todd Bowles, Mike
Speaker 1: mcagnet and company. Listen before we go to the calls, Eric,
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that we think go the
Speaker 1: folks who made it possible for us to be inside

Speaker 1: course is online one. Eric here is you're up first
Speaker 1: here on inside the Jets. Happy new year, my friend,
Speaker 1: very happy year to you guys. Uh and you by
Speaker 1: the way, you two did a great job and it
Speaker 1: was a pleasure listening to you guys a whole year. Unfortunately, Uh,
Speaker 1: it's a couple of weeks short, and I expected and uh,
Speaker 1: I was definitely preparing for another road trip next week,
Speaker 1: but it just looks like it wasn't in the cards,
Speaker 1: you know. Uh, it was a great five week run there,
Speaker 1: lare on. We got to break we needed last week. Eric,
Speaker 1: you're right, they they got a lot of pieces in
Speaker 1: place to build on. But of course there's no guarantees.
Speaker 1: Everybody starts with a team slate. You gotta stay healthy,
Speaker 1: you gotta do good in the draft, you gotta do
Speaker 1: good in free agency. But getting into the game yesterday,
Speaker 1: and you know, I hate to be down to here
Speaker 1: before your boy. I mean, just so many missed opportunities
Speaker 1: yesterday and when it failed by Can when they got
Speaker 1: down to the fourteen yard line. But I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: second guess anything right now. But you know you had
Speaker 1: a feel in your back pocket. I thought they should
Speaker 1: have went that way and uh unfortunately didn't. Uh. Once again,
Speaker 1: it just flows in the cards. They gave it their
Speaker 1: best effort and hopefully, uh, hopefully this time next year
Speaker 1: we will have something in place and we won't have
Speaker 1: to go until week A chevy team after the twin spot.
Speaker 1: Let's be good at that, all right, Alra, thanks for
Speaker 1: the call, my friend, and we'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 1: And and Eric, that's that's how the fans feel right now.
Speaker 1: You you you you go back to each part of
Speaker 1: that game. You dissect it, you replay it. You look
Speaker 1: at the uh the off sides, You look at the
Speaker 1: unsportsmunlike conduct penalties. You look at uh, you know, the
Speaker 1: third down stats that we gave early in the game.
Speaker 1: You look at the drop passes. You when when you
Speaker 1: lose a game like that, you re examine every in
Speaker 1: particular thing to the drive. You're not yeah, listen, Yeah,
Speaker 1: hate taking points off the board. And and that's one
Speaker 1: thing that the and Gaily and Ryan Fitzpatrick been talking
Speaker 1: about from the get the sacks and the turnovers, and uh,
Speaker 1: you never want to be in a position to, you know,
Speaker 1: where you have to give up something, And the Jets
Speaker 1: gave up something there on the interception, and Fits had
Speaker 1: three fourth quarter interceptions. But he had a tremendous season. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, when the interception did take place, it was
Speaker 1: nineteen seventeen. They're still ten minutes left in the game.
Speaker 1: The Jets still could have got off the field. It
Speaker 1: still could have came back, got a field goal or
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Even after the field goal. You know, we
Speaker 1: can dissect each and every play. Uh, it's a tough one.
Speaker 1: But fitz had a Hall of the Season, um, and
Speaker 1: that's one he'd like to have back. Absolutely. Let's go
Speaker 1: to Stefanos and West Long Branch. You're next on nine
Speaker 1: eight seven ESPNS inside the Jets. What's up Stefan Stefanos
Speaker 1: there he is those you're Uh, Eric, I just wanted
Speaker 1: to say, I've been watching News Mirror all all year.
Speaker 1: It's been great on the website. But I took a
Speaker 1: road trip up to Buffalo yesterday and I was at
Speaker 1: the game. Everything heartbreaker. UM yeah, I'll tell you those
Speaker 1: those fans really took on Rex's personality. Um, but yeah
Speaker 1: it was. I wouldn't say the season was a failure,
Speaker 1: but I would say they really took on what top
Speaker 1: bowls would really preached to him and how ten and
Speaker 1: six isn't good enough. And I really appreciate that. I
Speaker 1: like when he's bringing to the organizations, UH done a
Speaker 1: lifetime Jets saying all my life and I'm looking forward
Speaker 1: to what they got doing stuff and all set Yep,
Speaker 1: that listen, that's a great call, and let's say thank
Speaker 1: you for coming. The Jets support UH in Buffalo was tremendous.
Speaker 1: The Jets home game fan appreciation Day against the Patriots,
Speaker 1: that place was a madhouse. Met Life Stadium was great.
Speaker 1: I think the Green and White UH faithful have captured something.
Speaker 1: They like what Todd Bowles is doing here. And you
Speaker 1: said it, Stephano said it right there is Todd Bowles
Speaker 1: told this team today this isn't good enough. So Brandon
Speaker 1: Marshall said it yesterday in Buffalo. I was there in
Speaker 1: Western New York. No moral victory, so nobody's celebrating here.
Speaker 1: We are telling you all there is a foundation in place,
Speaker 1: There is a core intact. Yeah, and and that's what
Speaker 1: you look, that's what you want. It's about sustainable success
Speaker 1: and you want to build on that so that you
Speaker 1: don't have the constant turnover. Eric. What you want to
Speaker 1: do is put people in place so that you can
Speaker 1: continue to move and continue to grow. And with the
Speaker 1: draft choices you're gonna have and the free agents and
Speaker 1: the things you're gonna have to make additions and some
Speaker 1: subtractions to you know, hopefully you'll next time we talked
Speaker 1: to everybody will have a new team in place ready
Speaker 1: to go. Yeah. I'm already looking forward to it. And
Speaker 1: I know, uh, you know, the players will get away
Speaker 1: for a little bit and then we'll be talking about
Speaker 1: uh spring workouts and O T A s. And then
Speaker 1: we'll get back to training camp and then before you
Speaker 1: know it, we'll have another season. But uh, some guys
Speaker 1: will watch the playoffs. You and me will watch the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and some guys got to get away from it. But uh,
Speaker 1: a lot to build off this year looking forward, you know,
Speaker 1: to two thousand sixteen, the Jets were three and three
Speaker 1: inside the division this year. They did beat the Patriots once,
Speaker 1: but now UH taking that next step, we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to be better in the division. Moving conference, Absolutely, Partner,
