1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: Like game on the world. You played to win the 2 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: games A Jet toucksdown Jet. Your listening to the Official 3 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:25,240 Speaker 1: Jets podcast Jets three sixty production. All Right, Ethan Greenberg 4 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: and Eric Allen back here for the Official Jets Podcast 5 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 1: game preview Jets francoes this Sunday a road trip. Wow, 6 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: what a shocker the Jets after finishing up with two 7 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: game homestand now two weeks on the road. But e A, 8 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: let me just touch on this last game because I 9 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: thought this was the most exciting game the Jets have 10 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: played all season. Back and forth the nip and tuck 11 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: affair and the Jets come out in a shootout when 12 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: most expected it would be a close game. While we 13 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: entertaining affair. The Jets absorbed a few punches early, but 14 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: they were never on the ropes. But behind fourteen nothing 15 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: less in five minutes in the game, they rebound it 16 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: took a halftime lead. Kansas City very successful with their 17 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: big plays that kept them in the ballgame. Conversely, the 18 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:15,839 Speaker 1: Jets control time of possession forty nine Russia attempts, Jermaine Curse, 19 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson continued to go off. Josh McCown not only 20 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: continuing his accurate ways at the quarterback position throwing a football. 21 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: But again he gets a couple of rushtots touchdowns now 22 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: he's got five on a year or so. You look 23 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: at McCown, he's got twenty three touchdowns at all. He's 24 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: given the Jets great quarterback play. And like you mentioned 25 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: here at the top, the Jets just completed a run 26 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: greens of seven of ten at home so far this year, 27 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: the Jets four and three at MetLife Stadium. Conversely, when 28 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: you look ahead of Denver, the Jets just one and 29 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: four on the road. This is gonna be a big 30 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: test to see where they're at as the fourth quarter 31 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: the NFL season begins, and going off of that is 32 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: three out of the next four to close out the 33 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: season for the Jets, the games are on the road, 34 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: so one and one and four on the road so far. Denver, 35 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: even though their record is not a very good record, 36 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: to say the least, it's a poor record. They're having 37 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: a bad season. Bottom line. You lose eight games in 38 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: a row after a three and one start, it is 39 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: a bad year in Denver and nobody's happy about that. 40 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: And that is something they're not accustomed to because you've 41 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: got to go back to nine the last time Lebroncos 42 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: had laid an eight spot like this. With that being said, 43 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: it's no easy place to play at Sports Authority Field 44 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: that mile high because of the altitude. And Matt Forte 45 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: said that down there in the training room they have 46 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: a treadmill that you can go to the altitude of 47 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: double Denver and you can wear one of the training masks. 48 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see, especially I'd like to 49 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: improve my are you do you own a training mask? No? 50 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: I don't. Okay, well, man, it's one of those ones. 51 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: Looked like, who's the guy from Batman? Bain Bain? You 52 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 1: really adopted the duck. I was born in it. But yeah, 53 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: back to football, sure, yeah, you're playing in that dry air, 54 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: the thin air, the high altitude. The Broncos actually started 55 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: the year at home three and oh, but they've lost 56 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: their last three home games. I'm curious to see how 57 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: the young players on this Jets team that have never 58 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: been out to Denver, and that's I would assume an 59 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: overwhelming majority of the team. I'm curious to see how 60 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: they prepare, what they take, who they speak to try 61 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: to get ready because Obviously it's a different altitude, but 62 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: it's a different field when you're huffing and puffing and 63 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: your lungs aren't working as well. But taking something from 64 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: last week and moving this week is the fast start 65 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: of the offense. And we're going to dive into this 66 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: further with Chad Pennington when we bring him in shortly. 67 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: But how can a recipe of a fast start translates 68 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: to access on the road for this Jets team. Well, 69 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: we're not only going to talk to Jef Pennington first 70 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: this week, we also have Eric d. Lalla from dever 71 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: Broncos dot com. He's associate editor of Broncos dot Com. 72 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: But a fast start I didn't even really can help 73 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: this week because this is a Broncos team that has 74 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: not found itself offensively. Bottom line, They've used three different 75 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: quarterbacks this year, Trevor Simeon, brock Osweiler, Pexton Lynch. Of 76 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: course Simeon will start against the Jets. You want to 77 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: put this team in a hole because right now a 78 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: lot of bad things are happening to the Broncos. Last 79 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: week they had it handed to them, not so much 80 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: in the trenches, but on the school board. Thirty five nine. 81 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: Simeon had three interceptions. Maybe the Jets have an opportunity 82 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: for a couple of takeaways defensively that would go a 83 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: long way towards victory. But you want to make this 84 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: team one handed, and if you do get an early lead, 85 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: that's gonna make a fan base who, frankly, is very 86 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: upset with the product out there. They're gonna be very 87 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: upset with the team if they fall behind. All right, 88 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: Green's let's bring in our quarterback Chef Pennington, who was 89 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: at MetLife Stadium for the Green and Whites thirty eight 90 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. What impressed you most offensively? Well, 91 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: I think uh E. A. First of all, uh, I 92 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: guess we're not great prognosticators, because I think both of 93 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: us felt like this would be a seventeen. It was 94 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: far from it. I think what impressed me the most 95 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: was the ability of the offense to answer the fourteen 96 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: to zero fail when the Jets fell behind so quickly. 97 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: That was huge, and that's part of playing complimentary football. 98 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 1: You see the defense struggling and giving that big plays, 99 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: and the offense put two back to back drives together 100 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: to even the score of fourteen. To fourteen, So I 101 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: thought that was probably the biggest part of the game. 102 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: Even though it didn't determine the outcome, it certainly level 103 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: the playing field and the Jets could then implement their 104 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: game plan of still trying to run the football throughout 105 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: the game because being down four team a zero uh 106 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: and if that would have carried over into the second half, 107 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: then you know your game plan of being able to 108 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: run against a leaky Chiefs run defense would not have happened. 109 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: The Jets are averaging over thirty five rush attempts in 110 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: their five victories this season. So Chad, what specifically helps 111 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: out this Jets offense when you look at a balanced attack, 112 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: had a complimentary attack, and we saw it because Robby 113 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: Anderson and Germaine Curse both went over a hundred yards 114 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: for the second consecutive game. I think a couple of things. 115 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: Number One, I feel like the line of scrimmage was 116 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: controlled by the Jets offensive line and did a good 117 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: job of eliminating most of the penetration throughout the day. 118 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: And then the patient of Forte and Pale and fire 119 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: was really good. There were times where they would just 120 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: allow the hole to come open and it was a 121 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: second or third cut behind the line of screamings, and 122 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: then they would find a crease to get the father 123 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: six yards north and south. Their patience was excellent. The 124 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: second thing I would think that I thought was a 125 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: crucial was the first and second down pumping success. When 126 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: you go into a game wanting to run the football, 127 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: when you do decide to pass it on personal second down, 128 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: especially after a run play that may only give you 129 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: two to three yards, you've got to have some success 130 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: there so you don't stay in that third seven plus 131 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: range on third down. And McCown and his ability to 132 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: be efficient to make plays with his arm when asked 133 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: on the early down really complimented the game plan of 134 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: wanting to establish the running games. Defensively, the Jets were 135 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: dashed by big players against the Chiefs, but that hasn't 136 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: found a characteristic of this defense. And two thousand seventeen, 137 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: what a Tidd Balls and Casey Rodgers have to do 138 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: to make sure that isn't an issue over the last 139 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: quarter of the season. Well, it certainly was a baptism 140 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: through fire for our young safeties to get Safeties really 141 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: were put into situations where they couldn't just roam the 142 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: field and read the quarterback's eyes. They were having to 143 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: cover the great skill guys of the Chiefs, including the 144 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: tide end Kelsey, and I think although the Chiefs have 145 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: been struggling, I think they proved on Sunday that they 146 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: still have some weapons and that they can do a 147 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: lot of really good things offensively, which they were able 148 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: to do. So great learning experience, uh for the team, 149 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: the young safeties in the in the back end, uh, 150 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, trying to cover two phenomenal skill players and 151 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 1: Kelsey and tarryk kill. So hopefully you get some of 152 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: those things aroned out. You know, do a little bit 153 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: better in your man the man covers, be better in 154 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: your communication and your zone, and eliminate those big plays 155 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: down the field. Uh, and you know those to a minimum. 156 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: When you look at this Jets team, obviously the narrative 157 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: has been being able to finish or not being able 158 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: to finish. How important is this win? Because the Jets 159 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: were finally able to finish. They were down fourteen nothing 160 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: like you said before, leading out the half, and then 161 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: the entire second half was a nip and tuck affairs. 162 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: So moving forward for the last four games of the season, 163 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: how important is finally getting over that hump, especially because 164 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: the Jets are going on the road for back to 165 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: back weeks. Well, I think the win was important for 166 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: a number of reasons. Number one, I think it was 167 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: important because it was one of the few times here 168 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: where um, the Jets were pounced on early and they 169 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: answered the bail. Uh. And they changed their own fortune. 170 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: It wasn't that the other team changed did or did 171 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 1: something to change it. They changed their own fortune. And 172 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 1: the secondly, um, you know, I think it's it's great 173 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: that this team is still fighting with the passion and 174 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: enthusiasm and energy and and they and they're there's continuing 175 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: to get better. And so for coaching staff and the organization, 176 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: you can continue your evaluation process and really make strides 177 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: in how you can become better for the future. Robbie 178 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: Anderson and Jermaine Curse. A lot has been talked about 179 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: regarding that duel, an emerging duel back to back a 180 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: hundred yard receiving games for the pair. Um, A lot 181 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: of folks Chad say, hey, Robbie Anderson and Ceiling is 182 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: a number two receiver. Uh, maybe Jermaine Curses Ceiling is 183 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: a is a two or three do you look at 184 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: it in terms of numbers when people look at receivers, 185 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 1: Because right now I see Robbie Anderson and he's on 186 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: pace for eleven yards and he's getting into that zone. 187 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: And Jermaine Curses having a career year here. Well, first 188 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: of all, I see a better quarterback than I nderstands 189 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: how to get these two guys in the ball, and 190 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: he understands what they do well. Uh. And so I 191 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: think we've got to give Josh a lot of credit 192 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: in getting these guys involved, which is allowed the staff 193 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: Horn Curse and Anderson can do. So that's number one. 194 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: I think Also, bus of these guys are playing uh 195 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: to their skill set. They're they're doing things that they're 196 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 1: being asked to do and doing them well. Uh. Coach 197 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: Morten's putting in their positions to make play, not asking 198 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: anythings that they don't do well. I've really been surprised, 199 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 1: pleasantly surprised with with Robbie Anderson's ability to catch the 200 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: ball in traffic. Typically, when you have a speed guy 201 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: that doesn't have the size like Robbie does not, uh, 202 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: typically you have to see a lot of separation for 203 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: these types of guys to make play. But this guy 204 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: makes place in traffic and and really comes up with 205 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: a lot of fifty fifty balls, has some really good 206 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: ball skills, does some things it's very difficult to do. 207 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: And then I think Curse really came into his own 208 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: this game, making some big plays to run after the catch, 209 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: making catches in traffic using his body. So these are 210 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: two guys you can certainly uh build with and don't 211 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: forget a Noon while he's able to come back hopefully 212 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: next year helping You've got three really good guys there 213 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: that you feel very comfortable and helping your team wins. Yeah, 214 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: I'm very excited about this group. As you said, Robbie Anderson, 215 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: continues to develop. Jermaine Curses added a lot of grit 216 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: to that unit. Noon while possibly coming back. Chad Hanson 217 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: had a couple of key third dome conversions. Okay, Juts Broncos. 218 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: How does this team that is four and three at 219 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 1: My Life Stadium take their show on the road and 220 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: play well away from home for sixty minutes? What's going 221 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: to be the key? Well, we talked about this on 222 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 1: Facebook lam On on Sunday, Eric and the number one 223 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: thing on the road is being able to get off 224 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: to a good art and sometimes a good start on 225 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: the road doesn't necessarily mean a lot of points, but 226 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: it does mean moving the football on offense, establishing a rhythm, 227 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: h getting off the field on third down on defense, 228 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: and really coming into your own early in the game. 229 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: And remember against Tampa Bay, it was just a struggle 230 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: to do anything offensively until the very end. And that's 231 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: just that just makes it really hard on the road. 232 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 1: So getting off to a good start is number one, 233 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: and then number two, it's the same mindset that we 234 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: felt like they said have against Kansas City because we 235 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: felt like Kansas City was struggling. Obviously Denver is struggling 236 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: even more. You cannot give the home team, especially a 237 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: struggling team, excitement and a spark to get them to 238 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: think like, oh, we have a chance to win this game. 239 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: And so the goal is to get off to a 240 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: fast start, and even if you don't have a lot 241 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: of points on the board, play smart, complimentary football. You 242 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: haven't turned the ball over, you haven't given up a 243 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: big special teams play. And now you're in the fourth 244 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: quarter in a situation where this Denver team says, oh, 245 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: here we go again. We're gonna lose this in the 246 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, find a way to lose, and you will, 247 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: how then to find a way to lose. And that's 248 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: what will happen if you play your cards right. Well, 249 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: how do you expect John Morten and this offense to 250 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: attack this Denver defense that, to be frank is known 251 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: for its secondary. Well, you know this defense is still scary. 252 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: I don't think Jeff fans can expect this team to 253 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: just go in and just stomp the Denver Broncos. It's 254 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: not going to work that way. You have players on 255 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: the defensive side with the Broncos that could just absolutely 256 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: ruin a football game, and so you always have to 257 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: be aware of that. You've got to make sure that 258 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: you neutralize von Miller. You got to make sure that 259 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: the two corners and to Leave and Harris don't make 260 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: great plays on the football and and be able to 261 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: change field position with the interceptions. And so you've got 262 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: to be very careful with your decision making as a 263 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: quarterback play calling wise, you don't want to put your 264 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: tackles on the islands von Miller. Just think that's going 265 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: to happen for four quarters, because it will absolutely not. 266 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: I think the running game is going to prove to 267 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: be a key in this game, and not necessarily from 268 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: the guard inst that way, but also just from a 269 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: way to be able to control the tipo of the 270 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: game to create some physicality there in the sloop those 271 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: guys down. That's really going to be a key. I 272 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: think does McCown have to do anything special regarding von 273 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: Miller because you mentioned him, you both mentioned him, and 274 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: obviously that's up to John Morton. How he's going to 275 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: attack him and give his tackles help and who's staying 276 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: in from a tight end perspective and Chip in what 277 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: running back is going going to provide that double? Uh? 278 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: But you from a quarterbacks perspective, what do you have 279 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: to know about Miller while you're looking down the field 280 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: and facing two guys in the outside like to leave 281 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: and Chris Harris, well, what I think Number one, you 282 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: have to listen to her. What I mean by that is, uh, 283 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: your footwork in the pocket is really critical. Number one. 284 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: You can't stay back in the pocket. You start to 285 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: get the nine ten eleven yards in your drop and 286 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: bon Miller is gonna have a field day. Also, you 287 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: can't get into three and four hitches in the pocket. 288 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: Once you get to that third hits and you went 289 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: through one, number one and number two and number three 290 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: is not there, You're moving. You've got to move up 291 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: in the pocket and get get out and neither use 292 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: your feet to get some yards because he will completely 293 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: ruin your day if you do not. So, if that 294 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: means that you can't extend to play and make a 295 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: big play, and you wish that you could, you're gonna 296 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: play to the other side of the risk of trying 297 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: to extend to play and make a big play is 298 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: much greater than the that reward because you know the 299 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: von Miller's on the other side. Chead. I'm really excited 300 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: for this game, are you? Because something throughout the year 301 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: that you've talked about here on the Juts Official podcast 302 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: is that you like watching the Jets. They play hard, 303 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: they play good football. Um, they've been in every ball 304 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: game five and seven. They easily could be seven or 305 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: five or eight and four. But when you look at 306 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: this one and four road record and you look at 307 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: the Broncos is a wounded animal team was lost eight 308 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: in a row. Are you excited to see what happens 309 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: on Sunday? As far as a test concern for the 310 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: Jets is this the next step in their maturation? This 311 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 1: is a building block game here. This is a game that, uh, 312 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 1: this team can use as a building block forwards foundation 313 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: being able to take that next step in the type 314 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: of culture and attitude you want for your team, for 315 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: your young players to learn from. This is a difficult 316 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: game for a young player. You've come off of a 317 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: big emotional win at home and now you're going on 318 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: the road and playing a team that um down and 319 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: out three and nine. You know, this is a game 320 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: in college that normally you go to and you take 321 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 1: care of. It's because you're better than in the NFL. 322 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way. Do you want this to 323 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 1: be a building block through a win not through a law? 324 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: My final question for you today chap an Official Jets 325 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: podcast game preview Jets Broncos Sunday at Sports Authority. Feel 326 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: at Mile High is speaking of the altitude, how does 327 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: it impact of players? I know I have talked to 328 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 1: the bar Scott about it the other night on Inside 329 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 1: the Jets says for each guy it's different. I might 330 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: have a little bit more of an impact for the 331 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 1: bigger guys. Offensive alignment and defense alignment. There's certainly an impact, 332 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: uh you looking an impact for a quarterback, for say, 333 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: But think it really depends on each theories. You know 334 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: how much energy has exerted, whether it be a skill god, 335 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: you know had to run three eighteen or comebacks in 336 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: a row, or you know alignment that you know had 337 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: to pull and get out in space and run around. 338 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: And there can be an impact series the series based 339 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: upon how much you inserted and what you're running levels 340 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: were on that series, So they can certainly be something. 341 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: But John Melody and his staff have done an excellent job. 342 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: You talk to anybody that's a Jet player right now 343 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: that came from another team, and they will just tell you, 344 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: hands down, this is one of the best training staff 345 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: in the league and they'll certainly have their players ready. 346 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: A little love for j Mal, I love it all right, Chack, 347 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: great catching off with you. Enjoy the rest of the week. 348 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,360 Speaker 1: You can talk you and we'll talk to you next week. 349 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: That alright, Korean's great point from CP there. I think 350 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: this is a building block game for the New York Jets. 351 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: A lot of people will look at the Jets and 352 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: say this is a gimme game because this is a 353 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: Denver team that is in a bad way right now. 354 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: But this is no gimme game, and it's gonna be 355 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 1: interesting if the Jets can get another one here, go 356 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: to six and seven, and then you have a chance 357 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: to go to New Orleans, maybe reach five hundred. But 358 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: first things first, you gotta beat the Broncos. For me, 359 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: what Chad said that really stood out was you can't 360 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 1: give a home team like the Denver Broncos, who are 361 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: underwhelming from an expectations standpoint. You can't give the home 362 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: fans something to be excited about. And in Week ten, 363 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: that's what happened in Tampa Bay. The Jets didn't come 364 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: out to a fast start, couldn't convert on third down, 365 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 1: didn't move the chains, and then eventually lost that game. 366 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: For this the Jets offense is really starting to get 367 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: in the groove, and Josh McCown following Sunday's game said, 368 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: for us, this is this was the expectation, this is 369 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: how we expected to play earlier in the year. I 370 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: talked about it. You know, we're gonna come together and 371 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: hit our stride. It's gonna take a while because we're 372 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: different and a new group, but I think this is 373 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 1: what we what we expect to be and uh and so, 374 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: like I said, we're scratching the surface. We can take 375 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: it further though, So I'm really looking forward to seeing 376 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: how to take the show on the road. How do 377 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: the Jets continue to ride this hot hand on offense? 378 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: Convert on third downs, curse Robby Anderson and hopefully Austin 379 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,959 Speaker 1: Sifering Jenkins can get back in the mix this Sunday 380 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: as well. Just with thirteen of twenty on third down 381 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 1: against Kansas City, that is a sixty five percent clip. 382 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: McCown was really comfortable in that pocket. This is a 383 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 1: different animal defensively, this is a better outfit than the Chiefs. 384 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: The Chiefs do have some good players on the defensive 385 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: side of the ball, but when you're facing von Miller 386 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: and these two corners, it's a different deal altogether. Um. 387 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: Against Denver, you have to play clean because that's a 388 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: way they can get the crowd into the game. You 389 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: turn the football over and sometimes you're gonna want to 390 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: pump Sunday. Bottom line, if it's not there, don't try 391 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: to force a play. When you force the action, especially 392 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 1: on the road, bad things can happen. UM. Conversely, defensively. 393 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: This is a bounce back game for the Jets because frankly, 394 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: they didn't play off to the standards. Jamal Adams said 395 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: after the game, we didn't do our jobs. Hats off 396 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 1: to the offense. We have to play better. Gave up 397 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: a lot of big plays against Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelsey, 398 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: Alex Smith and company. But this Denver offense struggling to 399 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: find itself. Trevor Simeon, He's got some weapons, the Marius Thomas, 400 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,479 Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders, Anderson in the backfield, but it's just not 401 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 1: clicking right now. This Broncos defense. You talked about a 402 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 1: pair of corners just for reference, talking about a keep 403 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: to leaving Chris Harris, a pair of Kansas Jayhawks. They're 404 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: one of the top duos, if not the best duo 405 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: in the league. To leave miss last game due to 406 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: a suspension after an altercation with Raiders receiver minch It 407 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: wasn't an altercation, dude, it was it was to literally 408 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: ripped the cheat off of Michael Krant. That was I 409 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: don't know if you heard this, but Michael Cratchley said 410 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: he the chain to his chest and to leave still 411 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: ripped it off. Found a way to get in there. Yeah, 412 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: that was an old fashioned fight on the field a 413 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: f C West rivals the Silver and Black, and all right, 414 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 1: I suld recorded a little bit. I said, altercation. It 415 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 1: was a fight. Well to leave as a guy who 416 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: get up in your face, So you know the Jets 417 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: receivers will be prepared for that. I'm really interested to 418 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: see how Robbie Anderson plays this Sunday. Obviously the rest 419 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: of the team too, but this is his This is 420 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: a great test for Robby Anderson. Jamaine Curs has played 421 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: this team before. He's played Chris Harris and to keep 422 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: to leave in the Super Bowl. Maybe he's someone that 423 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: Anderson will rely on. But it is two years in 424 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: the NFL. I would say this is Anderson's best match 425 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: up from a talent perspective, and not to mention it's 426 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: in Denver, where the altitude is thin and the arison 427 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: and I'm very curious to see how he can. You're 428 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: not gonna have forty nine carries every week, and we 429 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: know that forty nine rush at times, but you need balance. 430 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 1: You can't just um a Padi McCown and the and 431 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: the balance last week was very good, but uh, the 432 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: Jets will have to come up with a game plan 433 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: for a game record in von Miller. Calvin Beecham was, 434 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: as you wrote this week Greens, very complimentary about Brandon 435 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 1: Shell in the job he did against Justin Houston. Justin 436 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: Houston has been a prolific pass rusher, but at this 437 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: point of time, five Miller's on all other level. Time 438 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: to hit the phones already. Let's go out to Denver, 439 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: Colorado to bring in Eric de Lalla, the associate editor 440 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,959 Speaker 1: of Denver Broncos dot com. You can follow him on 441 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: Twitter at Eric Delalla, but that's Eric with an A, 442 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: not Eric with an East. Will make sure to give 443 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: him a follow. Eric, thanks so much for joining US 444 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: Jets Broncos this Sunday. When you look at the Broncos, 445 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 1: very competitive the last couple of seasons, but lost their 446 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: last eight games. From where you stand, what's been the 447 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: theme this year? Yeah, I think head coach Bands Joseph 448 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: has said it best when he's just looking for a 449 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: fair game, because if you look at this eight game 450 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 1: losing streak, there's been so many times when the Broncos 451 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: have turned it over in the first quarter, or they've 452 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: had it at the goal line and throw a pick 453 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: that gets returned all the way to the to our 454 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: one yard line. Is that happened against the Bengals and 455 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, and what ends up happening is 456 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 1: they get behind a couple of scores and one they're 457 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: not built on offense to come back from that, and 458 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 1: to this defense, which has been so good the last 459 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: few seasons, hasn't been able to kind of hold teams 460 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: when necessary. I think if you see the Broncos get 461 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: into a fair game, as Joseph has been saying, where 462 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: they don't turn the ball over early, they're able to 463 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: get a couple of scores on the board and kind 464 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: of keep things close going into halftime, then they might 465 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: be able to turn this around. But right now they 466 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: just haven't been able to do that recently. What do 467 00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 1: you point to most for Trevor simeon struggles here his 468 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: third season out of Northwestern. Yeah. I think he would 469 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: be the first to tell you that he made some 470 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 1: uncharacteristic throws. This past week in Miami. He wasn't very 471 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: good by any measure. Was nineteen of forty one, no touchdowns, 472 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: three picks, he was sacked three times. I think part 473 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: of that he hasn't had a ton of time to 474 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: throw UM, but the offensive line has, in my opinion 475 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: at least been an improvement from last season. UM. The 476 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: receivers vance Joseph said this week, they had some trouble 477 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: creating separation UM, and then he he just missed some 478 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 1: outroutes that he normally throws. He was laid on a 479 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: couple of things. UM. It's definitely not a mental issue. 480 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: He knows knows the plays. I think he's good at that. 481 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 1: He knows adjustments at the line, but he's just had 482 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: some some errors in his mechanics or the physical part 483 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: of throwing the football, and the last few weeks it's 484 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: just kind of slipped away from him. Because if you 485 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: look back too early in the season when they when 486 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 1: they beat the Chargers at home to open the year, 487 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: when they crushed the Cowboys at home, he played really 488 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: well and he was kind of looking like a guy 489 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: where he wasn't going to be a Tom Brady or 490 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: a Matt Ryan or somebody that's gonna win the MVP Award. 491 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: But he was certainly good enough to get this team 492 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 1: to a three on one start into the playoffs. And 493 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: I think Joseph said that yesterday he said, listen, the 494 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: talents obviously there to some extent because we started three 495 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: and one, um, but he's just looked a little shaky, 496 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: especially since that Kansas City game in Week eight. Has 497 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: there been a difference between McCoy's offense and Musgrave's offense 498 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: since McCoy left, I think, to some extent um, things 499 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: have been simplified a little bit. They've talked about that 500 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: when uh McCoy left that at times they were finding 501 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: too many answers and that that doesn't necessarily sound like 502 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: a problem where you've got too many answers to things 503 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: that other teams are doing. But I think what was 504 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: happening is they were getting bogged down. There are a 505 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: couple of reports that there were things being called in 506 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: games that weren't necessarily being called during practice that week, 507 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: And I think what Joseph wanted to get two was, Hey, 508 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: let's be really good at this set of things and 509 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: let's see where that gets us. And at times it's worked. 510 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 1: There's been drives, there's one against Miami where they move 511 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: the ball down the field with ease um. The issue 512 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: is just that they can't seem to get out of 513 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,959 Speaker 1: their own way, and there are too many instances in 514 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 1: which those drives are going well and then a tipped 515 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: pass gets intercepted, or there's a snap over Simeon's head 516 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 1: for a safety, or upun return gets dropped. And I 517 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: think that's where the issue is and that they've struggled 518 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: to not make those killer mistakes. But I think from 519 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: an offensive standpoint, it has changed a little bit in 520 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 1: terms of getting back to the strength of the offense, 521 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: which is running the football, which is making these easier throws. 522 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: They don't need to go out there and have a 523 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: huge playbook and have a hugely complicated scheme. They just 524 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: need to do right now. I would say two or 525 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: three things really well, and that should be enough to 526 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: get them back to at least being competitive. A lot 527 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: of talent on the defensive side of the ball starts 528 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: with Von Miller, the NFL's top fass rush er. You 529 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: look at those cornerback act I don't know if you're 530 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: gonna find a finer duo in the National Football League 531 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: than the Key to Leave and Chris Harris uh Wade 532 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: Phillips though is in l A with the Rams coordinated 533 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: net defense. Has anything changed schematically with the Broncos this season. 534 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: You know, I would say if you look early in games, 535 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: the Broncos are actually better than they were a year ago. UM. 536 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: Some of the defensive players talked about how at times 537 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: the script was so set at the beginning of the 538 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: game and it was still routine that opposing teams essentially 539 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: knew exactly what the Broncos were gonna do weekend and 540 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: week out, and that put them in a lot of 541 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: early holes. UM. I think last year there was something 542 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: like only one of the last ten games or something 543 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: like that a team didn't go down the field and 544 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: score on their first possession. That's changed this year. Defensive 545 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: coordinator Joe Woods has has tweaked some things, especially on 546 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: that first drive, and they've played well enough, UM at 547 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: times to win football games. You said, Von Miller, he's 548 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: one of the best pass rushers in the game. UM 549 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: only has eight sacks this excuse me, nine sacks this year, UM, 550 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: And I think part of that as teams are just 551 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: so focused on chipping him making somebody else beat them, 552 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: and that hasn't always happened. UM. Shane Ray is playing 553 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: with a cast on his left hand after a training 554 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: camp injury. Shaquille Barrett is playing well um and has 555 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: made some plays the last couple of weeks, but really 556 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: they need to find a way to get Vaughan more involved. 557 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: And then, like you talked about, in the back end, 558 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: Chris Harris and the keep to Leave are two of 559 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: the best in the league. In this past week when 560 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: I keep to Leave missed a game because of his suspension, 561 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: we saw Bradley Roby out there for a week and 562 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: he had five p bus had a really really solid game, 563 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: forced the fumble, recovered that fumble um and looked good 564 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: in that number two corner spot. So I think they 565 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: feel good about where they are with individual players. But 566 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: the issue is is that the last few weeks, the 567 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: offense has put together a scoring drive and then you expect, okay, 568 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: the defense is going to come on here and get 569 00:30:58,240 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: a stop and you're gonna be right back in it, 570 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: and then the team has gone on the opposing team 571 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: has gone on a long drive to score a touchdown. 572 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: And what Joseph said this week about that is, hey, listen, 573 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: I don't really care if we lose by four or 574 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: we lose by twenty four. And there are times during 575 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: games when I'm going to take some chances to make 576 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: sure we have that opportunity to win, and I think 577 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: that's led to some busted coverages, some big plays and 578 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: the defense not being able to get off the field 579 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,479 Speaker 1: and the offense can get back. Eric de la la 580 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: from Denver Broncos dot com, he's associate editor, joining us 581 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: on the Official Jets podcast game preview, Jets Broncos, how 582 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: is that locker room? Starting three and one, Denver did, 583 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: and then after that eight game losing streak for some teams, 584 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: it's gonna take a big time turn for the worst. Uh. 585 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: Do you anticipate the Broncos coming out with the spirited 586 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: efforts Sunday? Yeah, you know, I'll be really interested to 587 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: see how they play. The feeling of the locker room 588 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: previous to this game against the Dolphins that everybody was 589 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,479 Speaker 1: still upbeat. They were losing these close games they were 590 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: or they were losing the teams that they thought were 591 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: better than them, and then this week happened when it 592 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: seemed like everything went wrong. They had two safeties, they 593 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: threw three picks, the Dolphins had a bunch of long drives, 594 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: and it was just kind of a microcosm with the 595 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: season and Chris Harris, I think said it best after 596 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: the game when he said, we shouldn't be losing like 597 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: this to this type of team. And I think that's 598 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: where maybe the frustration sets in that like, this team 599 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: that's only eighteen months removed from a Super Bowl title 600 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: is now getting blown out in Miami, And so that's 601 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: going to be interesting to see whether they keep that up, 602 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: whether the leadership on the team, captains like von Miller 603 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: and da Marius Thomas and to keep to lead, can 604 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: keep the team dialed in. But I do think it'll 605 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: be interesting to see what the intensity is like, because 606 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: it is more difficult when you're three and nine to 607 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: get up for a game than when you're three and one. 608 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: Have teams the past couple of weeks gone about attacking 609 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: the Broncos unit? And how do you expect the Jets 610 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: to use their talent to try to move the ball 611 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: against the very talented unit. I think the thing that 612 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: opposing teams have done well when they've had success against 613 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: the Broncos is one they target the tight end. The 614 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 1: Broncos have had a lot of trouble stopping the tight 615 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: end position, whether that was against the New York Giants 616 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: when this whole skid kind of started, um and Evan 617 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: Ingram was the only healthy option the Giants had, and 618 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: he just kind of torched the Broncos in that game. 619 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: Whether it's Hunter Hunter Henry against the Chargers, whether it 620 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: was Travis Kelsey against the Chiefs, that's just kind of 621 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: gone on and on, UM, and they've allowed a lot 622 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: of touchdowns to tight ends. UM. I think the other 623 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: thing is simple crossing rounds. A lot of teams aren't. 624 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: They're still not going after a keep to leave, They're 625 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: still not going after Chris Harris. It's not like those 626 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: guys are getting burned. But when you're up tend nothing 627 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: like most of the Broncos opponents have been early. You 628 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: don't have to take chances against those guys. You can 629 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: take the easy throw, you can take the dump off pass. 630 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: You can even just run the ball on third and 631 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: four and see what hapens and then punt the ball 632 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: if you need to, and just stay in the game. 633 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: Because it recently the Broncos have hurt themselves enough where 634 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,839 Speaker 1: teams haven't had to score a ton of points, are 635 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: put together a ton of long drives. UM. So for 636 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: the Jets, they think if they're able to get the 637 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: run game going just a little bit, which will be 638 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 1: tough because the Broncos are second best in the league 639 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: against the rush. That's one thing they've been really good at. Um. 640 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 1: But if they're able to do that, get the tight 641 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: end involved a little bit, and then if they're able 642 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: to get ahead early, just take advantage of some of 643 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: these dump off route some of these crossing rounds that 644 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: aren't these super convoluted or complicated patterns. Um but get 645 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: guys in some space, that's where they're going to find success. 646 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: I think, well, Greens, it sounds like awesome. Safari and Jenkins, 647 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: the Jets big tight end could have a busy day. 648 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 1: And also Jermaine Curses been very successful work in the 649 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: middle on those crossing patterns as well. And the Jets 650 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: are getting Robby Anderson moving all over the place and Eric, 651 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: that's one thing that we're really looking forward to on 652 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: Sunday in Denver's Robby Anderson and Jermaine Curse being tested 653 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 1: by these premier corners. You mentioned Punt in your previous answer, 654 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,919 Speaker 1: and what lit up in my head is what's going 655 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: on with the Broncos special teams In two thousand and seventeen. Yeah, 656 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: it kind of all came to a head a few 657 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: weeks ago and against the Patriots, UM, they gave up 658 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 1: a big return, they dropped punt return. UM, they almost 659 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: had a safety on a kickoff return. UM. Things have 660 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: gotten a little bit better, but I think Broccoliba, who's 661 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: the new special teams coordinator here, he came over from 662 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: Kansas City where he learned under Dave Tobe, who has 663 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,439 Speaker 1: been there for a long time, was that he needs 664 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: to instill this attitude and the guys here, and he 665 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: said it's been his fault that he hasn't done that 666 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: yet and he hasn't taught them what it means to 667 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: be a special teams player, to be a good special 668 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: teams player, I think in particular where you've seen problems 669 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: is the punt return unit. UM. Last year the Broncos 670 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,320 Speaker 1: really struggled with that. They went out and drafted Isaiah 671 00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: mackenzie had at Georgia and thought he was going to 672 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: be the sir. In the preseason, he really flashed and 673 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: he looked like he was going to be that guy. 674 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: He had some big returns, but he's really had issues 675 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 1: catching the ball. I think at this point it's probably 676 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 1: a mental thing. They sat him down after that New 677 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: England game for a few weeks, and he got his 678 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,800 Speaker 1: first chance back against the Dolphins and he fumbled again 679 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 1: and had there was a safety um and Joseph said 680 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: yesterday that he's done for the season, and so Jordan Taylor, 681 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: who's a reserve wide receiver, will take that over um. 682 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 1: He's sure handed, he hasn't fumbled. He's also not a 683 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 1: dynamic return threat where he's going to break one for 684 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: sixty yards. So I think again that takes away from 685 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 1: some of the big playability that the Broncos have, but 686 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 1: it makes sure that they don't turn the ball over. 687 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: And so that's that's kind of where the Broncos are. 688 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: They're sacrificing that big play potential just so they don't 689 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 1: put themselves behind. Kick Wise, Brandon McManus has been solid. 690 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,240 Speaker 1: Riley Dixon, the second year punter, has had his issues 691 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: at times, but he's also been pretty decent. It's really 692 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: been the coverage units, it's been a pun return unit, 693 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: and they haven't really had a spark at the kick 694 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: return unit, and so I think they need to evaluate 695 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 1: that in the off season, but for now, it seems 696 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: like they're just trying to survive. Make sure to please 697 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,760 Speaker 1: follow Eric da Lalla on Twitter again working with Denver 698 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 1: Broncos dot com. Eric, thanks so much for joining us. 699 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. Guys appreciate it all right, greens 700 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 1: is Eric de Lalla was mentioning the Broncos are not 701 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:30,280 Speaker 1: in quote unquote survival mode and they're not looking ahead 702 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 1: to next year. By saying, Okay, we're just gonna look 703 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: and evalue weight players for two thousand and eighteen, he 704 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 1: sounds like a coach who wants to get that win 705 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 1: and feeling back inside the locker room. There's no doubt 706 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 1: about it. And what I took away from talking to 707 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: Eric was this is a great opportunity for Austin suffering Jenkins. 708 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: So I'm really looking forward to seeing how he's utilized 709 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,319 Speaker 1: this Sunday. And furthermore, is is there a development with 710 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: Chad Hits And we saw him pick up a pair 711 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: of third down catches this weekend. Again Delala just using 712 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: what he said is the crossing rounds the slot position 713 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: has been a weakness when you look at the Broncos 714 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: secondary because Harrison to Leave have been doing a great job, 715 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: So maybe this will open up the door for someone 716 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: like Chad Hanson, maybe our Darius Stewart as well. But 717 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: I just want to give a quick shout out to 718 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 1: Riley Dixon, the punter of the Broncos, because he and 719 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 1: I were alumnus or alumni of Syracuse University and every week, 720 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,840 Speaker 1: hold on every week, ID to go look up and 721 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,720 Speaker 1: down a roster and see you want to Florida or Maryland, 722 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: or Kinnisians for that matter, or Hamburg High School. But 723 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: it is more, it is more rare. It's more a 724 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 1: rarity that there is an orangeman in the NFL than 725 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: there is a game. Yeah, and of course it's a kicker. 726 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 1: Of course they're in the same can Hunters are people too, 727 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 1: and you are a person as well. But it's interesting 728 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 1: that you're fun. Fact today is of Syracuse alum connection 729 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: with the putter. And I know by the way the 730 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 1: Broncos had struggled mightily on special teams this year. I 731 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: know a lot of folks at home who don't often 732 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,280 Speaker 1: get a chance to watch the Broncos. Saw them Sunday 733 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,360 Speaker 1: Night Football a few weeks ago home against New England 734 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: and last week ye against Miami. They gave up a 735 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: big punt return, they fumbled away a kick, they gave 736 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,959 Speaker 1: up an on size kick. So hey, maybe the guy 737 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 1: to watch this week is Jojo Netsen, the five seven, 738 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty three, a hundred and sixty pounder 739 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: who can fly. Maybe this is the week that he 740 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 1: gets going. And you mentioned special teams, I'll tell you 741 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 1: two guys who don't mind going to Denver. It's Chandler 742 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 1: Canton zero and Lockland Edwards because the ball travels. Is 743 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,840 Speaker 1: that all right?
