<v Speaker 1>and Eric Allen back here for the Official Jets Podcast

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:33.520
<v Speaker 1>game preview Jets francoes this Sunday a road trip. Wow,

0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>what a shocker the Jets after finishing up with two

0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:38.159
<v Speaker 1>game homestand now two weeks on the road. But e A,

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 1>let me just touch on this last game because I

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 1>thought this was the most exciting game the Jets have

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>played all season. Back and forth the nip and tuck

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:49.200
<v Speaker 1>affair and the Jets come out in a shootout when

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:51.479
<v Speaker 1>most expected it would be a close game. While we

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 1>entertaining affair. The Jets absorbed a few punches early, but

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 1>they were never on the ropes. But behind fourteen nothing

0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 1>less in five minutes in the game, they rebound it

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>took a halftime lead. Kansas City very successful with their

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>big plays that kept them in the ballgame. Conversely, the

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:15.839
<v Speaker 1>Jets control time of possession forty nine Russia attempts, Jermaine Curse,

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Robbie Anderson continued to go off. Josh McCown not only

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 1>continuing his accurate ways at the quarterback position throwing a football.

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 1>But again he gets a couple of rushtots touchdowns now

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 1>he's got five on a year or so. You look

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>at McCown, he's got twenty three touchdowns at all. He's

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>given the Jets great quarterback play. And like you mentioned

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 1>here at the top, the Jets just completed a run

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:44.039
<v Speaker 1>greens of seven of ten at home so far this year,

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the Jets four and three at MetLife Stadium. Conversely, when

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 1>you look ahead of Denver, the Jets just one and

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>four on the road. This is gonna be a big

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>test to see where they're at as the fourth quarter

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 1>the NFL season begins, and going off of that is

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>three out of the next four to close out the

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>season for the Jets, the games are on the road,

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 1>so one and one and four on the road so far. Denver,

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>even though their record is not a very good record,

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.359
<v Speaker 1>to say the least, it's a poor record. They're having

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>a bad season. Bottom line. You lose eight games in

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 1>a row after a three and one start, it is

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>a bad year in Denver and nobody's happy about that.

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>And that is something they're not accustomed to because you've

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>got to go back to nine the last time Lebroncos

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 1>had laid an eight spot like this. With that being said,

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>it's no easy place to play at Sports Authority Field

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 1>that mile high because of the altitude. And Matt Forte

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 1>said that down there in the training room they have

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 1>a treadmill that you can go to the altitude of

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 1>double Denver and you can wear one of the training masks.

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>So it'll be interesting to see, especially I'd like to

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>improve my are you do you own a training mask? No?

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't. Okay, well, man, it's one of those ones.

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Looked like, who's the guy from Batman? Bain Bain? You

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:10.959
<v Speaker 1>really adopted the duck. I was born in it. But yeah,

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>back to football, sure, yeah, you're playing in that dry air,

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:18.359
<v Speaker 1>the thin air, the high altitude. The Broncos actually started

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>the year at home three and oh, but they've lost

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 1>their last three home games. I'm curious to see how

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>the young players on this Jets team that have never

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 1>been out to Denver, and that's I would assume an

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 1>overwhelming majority of the team. I'm curious to see how

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 1>they prepare, what they take, who they speak to try

0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 1>to get ready because Obviously it's a different altitude, but

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a different field when you're huffing and puffing and

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 1>your lungs aren't working as well. But taking something from

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>last week and moving this week is the fast start

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 1>of the offense. And we're going to dive into this

0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>further with Chad Pennington when we bring him in shortly.

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:59.720
<v Speaker 1>But how can a recipe of a fast start translates

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 1>to access on the road for this Jets team. Well,

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>we're not only going to talk to Jef Pennington first

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 1>this week, we also have Eric d. Lalla from dever

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Broncos dot com. He's associate editor of Broncos dot Com.

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>But a fast start I didn't even really can help

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>this week because this is a Broncos team that has

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 1>not found itself offensively. Bottom line, They've used three different

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks this year, Trevor Simeon, brock Osweiler, Pexton Lynch. Of

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>course Simeon will start against the Jets. You want to

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>put this team in a hole because right now a

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of bad things are happening to the Broncos. Last

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>week they had it handed to them, not so much

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.839
<v Speaker 1>in the trenches, but on the school board. Thirty five nine.

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:48.919
<v Speaker 1>Simeon had three interceptions. Maybe the Jets have an opportunity

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>for a couple of takeaways defensively that would go a

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.359
<v Speaker 1>long way towards victory. But you want to make this

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 1>team one handed, and if you do get an early lead,

0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna make a fan base who, frankly, is very

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 1>upset with the product out there. They're gonna be very

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.160
<v Speaker 1>upset with the team if they fall behind. All right,

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.159
<v Speaker 1>Green's let's bring in our quarterback Chef Pennington, who was

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.840
<v Speaker 1>at MetLife Stadium for the Green and Whites thirty eight

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 1>victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. What impressed you most offensively? Well,

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I think uh E. A. First of all, uh, I

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>guess we're not great prognosticators, because I think both of

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 1>us felt like this would be a seventeen. It was

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 1>far from it. I think what impressed me the most

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:36.280
<v Speaker 1>was the ability of the offense to answer the fourteen

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:41.279
<v Speaker 1>to zero fail when the Jets fell behind so quickly.

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:45.200
<v Speaker 1>That was huge, and that's part of playing complimentary football.

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.359
<v Speaker 1>You see the defense struggling and giving that big plays,

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.279
<v Speaker 1>and the offense put two back to back drives together

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 1>to even the score of fourteen. To fourteen, So I

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>thought that was probably the biggest part of the game.

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Even though it didn't determine the outcome, it certainly level

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the playing field and the Jets could then implement their

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:11.279
<v Speaker 1>game plan of still trying to run the football throughout

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 1>the game because being down four team a zero uh

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 1>and if that would have carried over into the second half,

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.280
<v Speaker 1>then you know your game plan of being able to

0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 1>run against a leaky Chiefs run defense would not have happened.

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 1>The Jets are averaging over thirty five rush attempts in

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 1>their five victories this season. So Chad, what specifically helps

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>out this Jets offense when you look at a balanced attack,

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 1>had a complimentary attack, and we saw it because Robby

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.479
<v Speaker 1>Anderson and Germaine Curse both went over a hundred yards

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 1>for the second consecutive game. I think a couple of things.

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Number One, I feel like the line of scrimmage was

0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:52.640
<v Speaker 1>controlled by the Jets offensive line and did a good

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:56.800
<v Speaker 1>job of eliminating most of the penetration throughout the day.

0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>And then the patient of Forte and Pale and fire

0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.360
<v Speaker 1>was really good. There were times where they would just

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.760
<v Speaker 1>allow the hole to come open and it was a

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.720
<v Speaker 1>second or third cut behind the line of screamings, and

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 1>then they would find a crease to get the father

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 1>six yards north and south. Their patience was excellent. The

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 1>second thing I would think that I thought was a

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.840
<v Speaker 1>crucial was the first and second down pumping success. When

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 1>you go into a game wanting to run the football,

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 1>when you do decide to pass it on personal second down,

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 1>especially after a run play that may only give you

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 1>two to three yards, you've got to have some success

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 1>there so you don't stay in that third seven plus

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 1>range on third down. And McCown and his ability to

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.680
<v Speaker 1>be efficient to make plays with his arm when asked

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.400
<v Speaker 1>on the early down really complimented the game plan of

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 1>wanting to establish the running games. Defensively, the Jets were

0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 1>dashed by big players against the Chiefs, but that hasn't

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 1>found a characteristic of this defense. And two thousand seventeen,

0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 1>what a Tidd Balls and Casey Rodgers have to do

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that isn't an issue over the last

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 1>quarter of the season. Well, it certainly was a baptism

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>through fire for our young safeties to get Safeties really

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 1>were put into situations where they couldn't just roam the

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.520
<v Speaker 1>field and read the quarterback's eyes. They were having to

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:24.640
<v Speaker 1>cover the great skill guys of the Chiefs, including the

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 1>tide end Kelsey, and I think although the Chiefs have

0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 1>been struggling, I think they proved on Sunday that they

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 1>still have some weapons and that they can do a

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of really good things offensively, which they were able

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:41.720
<v Speaker 1>to do. So great learning experience, uh for the team,

0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.679
<v Speaker 1>the young safeties in the in the back end, uh,

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:49.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, trying to cover two phenomenal skill players and

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.719
<v Speaker 1>Kelsey and tarryk kill. So hopefully you get some of

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 1>those things aroned out. You know, do a little bit

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 1>better in your man the man covers, be better in

0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:02.520
<v Speaker 1>your communication and your zone, and eliminate those big plays

0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 1>down the field. Uh, and you know those to a minimum.

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 1>When you look at this Jets team, obviously the narrative

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.560
<v Speaker 1>has been being able to finish or not being able

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.800
<v Speaker 1>to finish. How important is this win? Because the Jets

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 1>were finally able to finish. They were down fourteen nothing

0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 1>like you said before, leading out the half, and then

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 1>the entire second half was a nip and tuck affairs.

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 1>So moving forward for the last four games of the season,

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 1>how important is finally getting over that hump, especially because

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 1>the Jets are going on the road for back to

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>back weeks. Well, I think the win was important for

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 1>a number of reasons. Number one, I think it was

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 1>important because it was one of the few times here

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:47.199
<v Speaker 1>where um, the Jets were pounced on early and they

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:51.200
<v Speaker 1>answered the bail. Uh. And they changed their own fortune.

0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't that the other team changed did or did

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.719
<v Speaker 1>something to change it. They changed their own fortune. And

0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.959
<v Speaker 1>the secondly, um, you know, I think it's it's great

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 1>that this team is still fighting with the passion and

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 1>enthusiasm and energy and and they and they're there's continuing

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.680
<v Speaker 1>to get better. And so for coaching staff and the organization,

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:15.120
<v Speaker 1>you can continue your evaluation process and really make strides

0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:18.760
<v Speaker 1>in how you can become better for the future. Robbie

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Anderson and Jermaine Curse. A lot has been talked about

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 1>regarding that duel, an emerging duel back to back a

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:31.319
<v Speaker 1>hundred yard receiving games for the pair. Um, A lot

0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.040
<v Speaker 1>of folks Chad say, hey, Robbie Anderson and Ceiling is

0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 1>a number two receiver. Uh, maybe Jermaine Curses Ceiling is

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:42.080
<v Speaker 1>a is a two or three do you look at

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 1>it in terms of numbers when people look at receivers,

0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:50.679
<v Speaker 1>Because right now I see Robbie Anderson and he's on

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 1>pace for eleven yards and he's getting into that zone.

0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.840
<v Speaker 1>And Jermaine Curses having a career year here. Well, first

0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.439
<v Speaker 1>of all, I see a better quarterback than I nderstands

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 1>how to get these two guys in the ball, and

0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 1>he understands what they do well. Uh. And so I

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.400
<v Speaker 1>think we've got to give Josh a lot of credit

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:12.600
<v Speaker 1>in getting these guys involved, which is allowed the staff

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Horn Curse and Anderson can do. So that's number one.

0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I think Also, bus of these guys are playing uh

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 1>to their skill set. They're they're doing things that they're

0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.439
<v Speaker 1>being asked to do and doing them well. Uh. Coach

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Morten's putting in their positions to make play, not asking

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.440
<v Speaker 1>anythings that they don't do well. I've really been surprised,

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.959
<v Speaker 1>pleasantly surprised with with Robbie Anderson's ability to catch the

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 1>ball in traffic. Typically, when you have a speed guy

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:44.920
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't have the size like Robbie does not, uh,

0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.240
<v Speaker 1>typically you have to see a lot of separation for

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 1>these types of guys to make play. But this guy

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.560
<v Speaker 1>makes place in traffic and and really comes up with

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fifty fifty balls, has some really good

0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 1>ball skills, does some things it's very difficult to do.

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.920
<v Speaker 1>And then I think Curse really came into his own

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.720
<v Speaker 1>this game, making some big plays to run after the catch,

0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:11.280
<v Speaker 1>making catches in traffic using his body. So these are

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.840
<v Speaker 1>two guys you can certainly uh build with and don't

0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 1>forget a Noon while he's able to come back hopefully

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 1>next year helping You've got three really good guys there

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.520
<v Speaker 1>that you feel very comfortable and helping your team wins. Yeah,

0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm very excited about this group. As you said, Robbie Anderson,

0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 1>continues to develop. Jermaine Curses added a lot of grit

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:35.760
<v Speaker 1>to that unit. Noon while possibly coming back. Chad Hanson

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:39.920
<v Speaker 1>had a couple of key third dome conversions. Okay, Juts Broncos.

0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 1>How does this team that is four and three at

0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:47.319
<v Speaker 1>My Life Stadium take their show on the road and

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.440
<v Speaker 1>play well away from home for sixty minutes? What's going

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:53.760
<v Speaker 1>to be the key? Well, we talked about this on

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.839
<v Speaker 1>Facebook lam On on Sunday, Eric and the number one

0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:58.880
<v Speaker 1>thing on the road is being able to get off

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.960
<v Speaker 1>to a good art and sometimes a good start on

0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:05.400
<v Speaker 1>the road doesn't necessarily mean a lot of points, but

0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:09.640
<v Speaker 1>it does mean moving the football on offense, establishing a rhythm,

0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.880
<v Speaker 1>h getting off the field on third down on defense,

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.880
<v Speaker 1>and really coming into your own early in the game.

0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 1>And remember against Tampa Bay, it was just a struggle

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 1>to do anything offensively until the very end. And that's

0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 1>just that just makes it really hard on the road.

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.439
<v Speaker 1>So getting off to a good start is number one,

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.840
<v Speaker 1>and then number two, it's the same mindset that we

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 1>felt like they said have against Kansas City because we

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.120
<v Speaker 1>felt like Kansas City was struggling. Obviously Denver is struggling

0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.760
<v Speaker 1>even more. You cannot give the home team, especially a

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:45.200
<v Speaker 1>struggling team, excitement and a spark to get them to

0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.600
<v Speaker 1>think like, oh, we have a chance to win this game.

0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.360
<v Speaker 1>And so the goal is to get off to a

0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:52.920
<v Speaker 1>fast start, and even if you don't have a lot

0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:57.200
<v Speaker 1>of points on the board, play smart, complimentary football. You

0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 1>haven't turned the ball over, you haven't given up a

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:02.000
<v Speaker 1>big special teams play. And now you're in the fourth

0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:05.400
<v Speaker 1>quarter in a situation where this Denver team says, oh,

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.560
<v Speaker 1>here we go again. We're gonna lose this in the

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarter, find a way to lose, and you will,

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 1>how then to find a way to lose. And that's

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:14.440
<v Speaker 1>what will happen if you play your cards right. Well,

0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.680
<v Speaker 1>how do you expect John Morten and this offense to

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 1>attack this Denver defense that, to be frank is known

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.840
<v Speaker 1>for its secondary. Well, you know this defense is still scary.

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think Jeff fans can expect this team to

0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 1>just go in and just stomp the Denver Broncos. It's

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.600
<v Speaker 1>not going to work that way. You have players on

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 1>the defensive side with the Broncos that could just absolutely

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:38.760
<v Speaker 1>ruin a football game, and so you always have to

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.400
<v Speaker 1>be aware of that. You've got to make sure that

0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 1>you neutralize von Miller. You got to make sure that

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the two corners and to Leave and Harris don't make

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.560
<v Speaker 1>great plays on the football and and be able to

0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 1>change field position with the interceptions. And so you've got

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.480
<v Speaker 1>to be very careful with your decision making as a

0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.760
<v Speaker 1>quarterback play calling wise, you don't want to put your

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 1>tackles on the islands von Miller. Just think that's going

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.520
<v Speaker 1>to happen for four quarters, because it will absolutely not.

0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I think the running game is going to prove to

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:11.080
<v Speaker 1>be a key in this game, and not necessarily from

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the guard inst that way, but also just from a

0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.320
<v Speaker 1>way to be able to control the tipo of the

0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:21.240
<v Speaker 1>game to create some physicality there in the sloop those

0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.000
<v Speaker 1>guys down. That's really going to be a key. I

0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:27.160
<v Speaker 1>think does McCown have to do anything special regarding von

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Miller because you mentioned him, you both mentioned him, and

0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:33.040
<v Speaker 1>obviously that's up to John Morton. How he's going to

0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:36.360
<v Speaker 1>attack him and give his tackles help and who's staying

0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.080
<v Speaker 1>in from a tight end perspective and Chip in what

0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:43.800
<v Speaker 1>running back is going going to provide that double? Uh?

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 1>But you from a quarterbacks perspective, what do you have

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:51.200
<v Speaker 1>to know about Miller while you're looking down the field

0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.000
<v Speaker 1>and facing two guys in the outside like to leave

0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 1>and Chris Harris, well, what I think Number one, you

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 1>have to listen to her. What I mean by that is, uh,

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 1>your footwork in the pocket is really critical. Number one.

0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 1>You can't stay back in the pocket. You start to

0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.480
<v Speaker 1>get the nine ten eleven yards in your drop and

0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:14.120
<v Speaker 1>bon Miller is gonna have a field day. Also, you

0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:17.560
<v Speaker 1>can't get into three and four hitches in the pocket.

0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Once you get to that third hits and you went

0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.760
<v Speaker 1>through one, number one and number two and number three

0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 1>is not there, You're moving. You've got to move up

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.920
<v Speaker 1>in the pocket and get get out and neither use

0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:31.440
<v Speaker 1>your feet to get some yards because he will completely

0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.560
<v Speaker 1>ruin your day if you do not. So, if that

0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 1>means that you can't extend to play and make a

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.000
<v Speaker 1>big play, and you wish that you could, you're gonna

0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:43.240
<v Speaker 1>play to the other side of the risk of trying

0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:45.720
<v Speaker 1>to extend to play and make a big play is

0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:48.720
<v Speaker 1>much greater than the that reward because you know the

0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.320
<v Speaker 1>von Miller's on the other side. Chead. I'm really excited

0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:55.840
<v Speaker 1>for this game, are you? Because something throughout the year

0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.800
<v Speaker 1>that you've talked about here on the Juts Official podcast

0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 1>is that you like watching the Jets. They play hard,

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:07.160
<v Speaker 1>they play good football. Um, they've been in every ball

0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:09.960
<v Speaker 1>game five and seven. They easily could be seven or

0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.359
<v Speaker 1>five or eight and four. But when you look at

0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.960
<v Speaker 1>this one and four road record and you look at

0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos is a wounded animal team was lost eight

0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:21.600
<v Speaker 1>in a row. Are you excited to see what happens

0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.879
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday? As far as a test concern for the

0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Jets is this the next step in their maturation? This

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:33.360
<v Speaker 1>is a building block game here. This is a game that, uh,

0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:36.360
<v Speaker 1>this team can use as a building block forwards foundation

0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:39.879
<v Speaker 1>being able to take that next step in the type

0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:43.240
<v Speaker 1>of culture and attitude you want for your team, for

0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:46.280
<v Speaker 1>your young players to learn from. This is a difficult

0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.879
<v Speaker 1>game for a young player. You've come off of a

0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:52.520
<v Speaker 1>big emotional win at home and now you're going on

0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:56.119
<v Speaker 1>the road and playing a team that um down and

0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:58.960
<v Speaker 1>out three and nine. You know, this is a game

0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:01.120
<v Speaker 1>in college that normally you go to and you take

0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:04.400
<v Speaker 1>care of. It's because you're better than in the NFL.

0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:06.639
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't work that way. Do you want this to

0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.360
<v Speaker 1>be a building block through a win not through a law?

0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:13.280
<v Speaker 1>My final question for you today chap an Official Jets

0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:18.920
<v Speaker 1>podcast game preview Jets Broncos Sunday at Sports Authority. Feel

0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:23.440
<v Speaker 1>at Mile High is speaking of the altitude, how does

0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 1>it impact of players? I know I have talked to

0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:28.679
<v Speaker 1>the bar Scott about it the other night on Inside

0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.640
<v Speaker 1>the Jets says for each guy it's different. I might

0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 1>have a little bit more of an impact for the

0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:39.640
<v Speaker 1>bigger guys. Offensive alignment and defense alignment. There's certainly an impact,

0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:42.800
<v Speaker 1>uh you looking an impact for a quarterback, for say,

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:47.520
<v Speaker 1>But think it really depends on each theories. You know

0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.359
<v Speaker 1>how much energy has exerted, whether it be a skill god,

0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:54.159
<v Speaker 1>you know had to run three eighteen or comebacks in

0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:56.840
<v Speaker 1>a row, or you know alignment that you know had

0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:59.280
<v Speaker 1>to pull and get out in space and run around.

0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:02.400
<v Speaker 1>And there can be an impact series the series based

0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:07.000
<v Speaker 1>upon how much you inserted and what you're running levels

0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.880
<v Speaker 1>were on that series, So they can certainly be something.

0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:13.000
<v Speaker 1>But John Melody and his staff have done an excellent job.

0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:16.280
<v Speaker 1>You talk to anybody that's a Jet player right now

0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.960
<v Speaker 1>that came from another team, and they will just tell you,

0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:21.000
<v Speaker 1>hands down, this is one of the best training staff

0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.600
<v Speaker 1>in the league and they'll certainly have their players ready.

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.440
<v Speaker 1>A little love for j Mal, I love it all right, Chack,

0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.000
<v Speaker 1>great catching off with you. Enjoy the rest of the week.

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.360
<v Speaker 1>You can talk you and we'll talk to you next week.

0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:37.680
<v Speaker 1>That alright, Korean's great point from CP there. I think

0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:40.440
<v Speaker 1>this is a building block game for the New York Jets.

0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:42.399
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people will look at the Jets and

0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:45.879
<v Speaker 1>say this is a gimme game because this is a

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:49.399
<v Speaker 1>Denver team that is in a bad way right now.

0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:53.840
<v Speaker 1>But this is no gimme game, and it's gonna be

0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:57.679
<v Speaker 1>interesting if the Jets can get another one here, go

0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:01.280
<v Speaker 1>to six and seven, and then you have a chance

0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:05.320
<v Speaker 1>to go to New Orleans, maybe reach five hundred. But

0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:07.920
<v Speaker 1>first things first, you gotta beat the Broncos. For me,

0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:11.320
<v Speaker 1>what Chad said that really stood out was you can't

0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:14.360
<v Speaker 1>give a home team like the Denver Broncos, who are

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:20.120
<v Speaker 1>underwhelming from an expectations standpoint. You can't give the home

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:24.160
<v Speaker 1>fans something to be excited about. And in Week ten,

0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:26.800
<v Speaker 1>that's what happened in Tampa Bay. The Jets didn't come

0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:29.320
<v Speaker 1>out to a fast start, couldn't convert on third down,

0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:33.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't move the chains, and then eventually lost that game.

0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:36.240
<v Speaker 1>For this the Jets offense is really starting to get

0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.720
<v Speaker 1>in the groove, and Josh McCown following Sunday's game said,

0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:43.040
<v Speaker 1>for us, this is this was the expectation, this is

0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:45.800
<v Speaker 1>how we expected to play earlier in the year. I

0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:47.480
<v Speaker 1>talked about it. You know, we're gonna come together and

0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:49.520
<v Speaker 1>hit our stride. It's gonna take a while because we're

0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:51.680
<v Speaker 1>different and a new group, but I think this is

0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:54.120
<v Speaker 1>what we what we expect to be and uh and so,

0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:56.440
<v Speaker 1>like I said, we're scratching the surface. We can take

0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:59.080
<v Speaker 1>it further though, So I'm really looking forward to seeing

0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.159
<v Speaker 1>how to take the show on the road. How do

0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 1>the Jets continue to ride this hot hand on offense?

0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Convert on third downs, curse Robby Anderson and hopefully Austin

0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:11.959
<v Speaker 1>Sifering Jenkins can get back in the mix this Sunday

0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:14.920
<v Speaker 1>as well. Just with thirteen of twenty on third down

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:19.439
<v Speaker 1>against Kansas City, that is a sixty five percent clip.

0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:23.000
<v Speaker 1>McCown was really comfortable in that pocket. This is a

0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:27.919
<v Speaker 1>different animal defensively, this is a better outfit than the Chiefs.

0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:30.640
<v Speaker 1>The Chiefs do have some good players on the defensive

0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:33.960
<v Speaker 1>side of the ball, but when you're facing von Miller

0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:38.800
<v Speaker 1>and these two corners, it's a different deal altogether. Um.

0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Against Denver, you have to play clean because that's a

0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:46.320
<v Speaker 1>way they can get the crowd into the game. You

0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:49.280
<v Speaker 1>turn the football over and sometimes you're gonna want to

0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:53.840
<v Speaker 1>pump Sunday. Bottom line, if it's not there, don't try

0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:57.560
<v Speaker 1>to force a play. When you force the action, especially

0:21:57.600 --> 0:22:02.360
<v Speaker 1>on the road, bad things can happen. UM. Conversely, defensively.

0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:06.359
<v Speaker 1>This is a bounce back game for the Jets because frankly,

0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:08.920
<v Speaker 1>they didn't play off to the standards. Jamal Adams said

0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:12.480
<v Speaker 1>after the game, we didn't do our jobs. Hats off

0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:15.199
<v Speaker 1>to the offense. We have to play better. Gave up

0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:19.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of big plays against Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelsey,

0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Alex Smith and company. But this Denver offense struggling to

0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:28.440
<v Speaker 1>find itself. Trevor Simeon, He's got some weapons, the Marius Thomas,

0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:32.479
<v Speaker 1>Emmanuel Sanders, Anderson in the backfield, but it's just not

0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:35.439
<v Speaker 1>clicking right now. This Broncos defense. You talked about a

0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:38.120
<v Speaker 1>pair of corners just for reference, talking about a keep

0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:41.480
<v Speaker 1>to leaving Chris Harris, a pair of Kansas Jayhawks. They're

0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:44.080
<v Speaker 1>one of the top duos, if not the best duo

0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:47.040
<v Speaker 1>in the league. To leave miss last game due to

0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:50.159
<v Speaker 1>a suspension after an altercation with Raiders receiver minch It

0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:54.080
<v Speaker 1>wasn't an altercation, dude, it was it was to literally

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:56.840
<v Speaker 1>ripped the cheat off of Michael Krant. That was I

0:22:56.880 --> 0:22:59.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you heard this, but Michael Cratchley said

0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:02.680
<v Speaker 1>he the chain to his chest and to leave still

0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:05.280
<v Speaker 1>ripped it off. Found a way to get in there. Yeah,

0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:08.480
<v Speaker 1>that was an old fashioned fight on the field a

0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:11.879
<v Speaker 1>f C West rivals the Silver and Black, and all right,

0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:14.439
<v Speaker 1>I suld recorded a little bit. I said, altercation. It

0:23:14.480 --> 0:23:16.640
<v Speaker 1>was a fight. Well to leave as a guy who

0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:19.200
<v Speaker 1>get up in your face, So you know the Jets

0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:22.359
<v Speaker 1>receivers will be prepared for that. I'm really interested to

0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:26.520
<v Speaker 1>see how Robbie Anderson plays this Sunday. Obviously the rest

0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:28.439
<v Speaker 1>of the team too, but this is his This is

0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:30.920
<v Speaker 1>a great test for Robby Anderson. Jamaine Curs has played

0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:33.440
<v Speaker 1>this team before. He's played Chris Harris and to keep

0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 1>to leave in the Super Bowl. Maybe he's someone that

0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:39.119
<v Speaker 1>Anderson will rely on. But it is two years in

0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:42.840
<v Speaker 1>the NFL. I would say this is Anderson's best match

0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:46.320
<v Speaker 1>up from a talent perspective, and not to mention it's

0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:49.160
<v Speaker 1>in Denver, where the altitude is thin and the arison

0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:52.280
<v Speaker 1>and I'm very curious to see how he can. You're

0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:54.560
<v Speaker 1>not gonna have forty nine carries every week, and we

0:23:54.640 --> 0:23:58.120
<v Speaker 1>know that forty nine rush at times, but you need balance.

0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:01.399
<v Speaker 1>You can't just um a Padi McCown and the and

0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:04.320
<v Speaker 1>the balance last week was very good, but uh, the

0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:07.119
<v Speaker 1>Jets will have to come up with a game plan

0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:11.919
<v Speaker 1>for a game record in von Miller. Calvin Beecham was,

0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:16.560
<v Speaker 1>as you wrote this week Greens, very complimentary about Brandon

0:24:16.600 --> 0:24:20.159
<v Speaker 1>Shell in the job he did against Justin Houston. Justin

0:24:20.240 --> 0:24:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Houston has been a prolific pass rusher, but at this

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:28.760
<v Speaker 1>point of time, five Miller's on all other level. Time

0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:35.639
<v Speaker 1>to hit the phones already. Let's go out to Denver,

0:24:35.960 --> 0:24:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Colorado to bring in Eric de Lalla, the associate editor

0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:44.959
<v Speaker 1>of Denver Broncos dot com. You can follow him on

0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Twitter at Eric Delalla, but that's Eric with an A,

0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:50.960
<v Speaker 1>not Eric with an East. Will make sure to give

0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:53.600
<v Speaker 1>him a follow. Eric, thanks so much for joining US

0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Jets Broncos this Sunday. When you look at the Broncos,

0:24:57.840 --> 0:25:00.439
<v Speaker 1>very competitive the last couple of seasons, but lost their

0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:03.080
<v Speaker 1>last eight games. From where you stand, what's been the

0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:07.600
<v Speaker 1>theme this year? Yeah, I think head coach Bands Joseph

0:25:07.600 --> 0:25:10.160
<v Speaker 1>has said it best when he's just looking for a

0:25:10.200 --> 0:25:12.680
<v Speaker 1>fair game, because if you look at this eight game

0:25:12.760 --> 0:25:15.400
<v Speaker 1>losing streak, there's been so many times when the Broncos

0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:17.480
<v Speaker 1>have turned it over in the first quarter, or they've

0:25:17.520 --> 0:25:19.480
<v Speaker 1>had it at the goal line and throw a pick

0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:21.440
<v Speaker 1>that gets returned all the way to the to our

0:25:21.480 --> 0:25:23.920
<v Speaker 1>one yard line. Is that happened against the Bengals and

0:25:24.119 --> 0:25:27.040
<v Speaker 1>a few weeks ago, and what ends up happening is

0:25:27.040 --> 0:25:29.400
<v Speaker 1>they get behind a couple of scores and one they're

0:25:29.400 --> 0:25:31.720
<v Speaker 1>not built on offense to come back from that, and

0:25:31.800 --> 0:25:34.400
<v Speaker 1>to this defense, which has been so good the last

0:25:34.440 --> 0:25:38.280
<v Speaker 1>few seasons, hasn't been able to kind of hold teams

0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:42.320
<v Speaker 1>when necessary. I think if you see the Broncos get

0:25:42.320 --> 0:25:44.840
<v Speaker 1>into a fair game, as Joseph has been saying, where

0:25:45.040 --> 0:25:47.000
<v Speaker 1>they don't turn the ball over early, they're able to

0:25:47.000 --> 0:25:48.760
<v Speaker 1>get a couple of scores on the board and kind

0:25:48.800 --> 0:25:51.760
<v Speaker 1>of keep things close going into halftime, then they might

0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:53.600
<v Speaker 1>be able to turn this around. But right now they

0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:56.040
<v Speaker 1>just haven't been able to do that recently. What do

0:25:56.080 --> 0:26:00.080
<v Speaker 1>you point to most for Trevor simeon struggles here his

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:05.120
<v Speaker 1>third season out of Northwestern. Yeah. I think he would

0:26:05.119 --> 0:26:06.760
<v Speaker 1>be the first to tell you that he made some

0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:11.640
<v Speaker 1>uncharacteristic throws. This past week in Miami. He wasn't very

0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:14.960
<v Speaker 1>good by any measure. Was nineteen of forty one, no touchdowns,

0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:17.840
<v Speaker 1>three picks, he was sacked three times. I think part

0:26:17.840 --> 0:26:19.760
<v Speaker 1>of that he hasn't had a ton of time to

0:26:19.800 --> 0:26:23.399
<v Speaker 1>throw UM, but the offensive line has, in my opinion

0:26:23.440 --> 0:26:26.879
<v Speaker 1>at least been an improvement from last season. UM. The

0:26:27.000 --> 0:26:29.760
<v Speaker 1>receivers vance Joseph said this week, they had some trouble

0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:33.879
<v Speaker 1>creating separation UM, and then he he just missed some

0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:36.119
<v Speaker 1>outroutes that he normally throws. He was laid on a

0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:39.280
<v Speaker 1>couple of things. UM. It's definitely not a mental issue.

0:26:39.359 --> 0:26:42.080
<v Speaker 1>He knows knows the plays. I think he's good at that.

0:26:42.200 --> 0:26:44.160
<v Speaker 1>He knows adjustments at the line, but he's just had

0:26:44.200 --> 0:26:47.800
<v Speaker 1>some some errors in his mechanics or the physical part

0:26:47.840 --> 0:26:50.760
<v Speaker 1>of throwing the football, and the last few weeks it's

0:26:50.800 --> 0:26:52.840
<v Speaker 1>just kind of slipped away from him. Because if you

0:26:52.880 --> 0:26:55.160
<v Speaker 1>look back too early in the season when they when

0:26:55.160 --> 0:26:56.880
<v Speaker 1>they beat the Chargers at home to open the year,

0:26:56.880 --> 0:26:59.800
<v Speaker 1>when they crushed the Cowboys at home, he played really

0:26:59.840 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 1>well and he was kind of looking like a guy

0:27:01.320 --> 0:27:03.520
<v Speaker 1>where he wasn't going to be a Tom Brady or

0:27:03.520 --> 0:27:06.760
<v Speaker 1>a Matt Ryan or somebody that's gonna win the MVP Award.

0:27:06.760 --> 0:27:08.879
<v Speaker 1>But he was certainly good enough to get this team

0:27:08.920 --> 0:27:11.399
<v Speaker 1>to a three on one start into the playoffs. And

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:14.119
<v Speaker 1>I think Joseph said that yesterday he said, listen, the

0:27:14.200 --> 0:27:17.320
<v Speaker 1>talents obviously there to some extent because we started three

0:27:17.320 --> 0:27:21.240
<v Speaker 1>and one, um, but he's just looked a little shaky,

0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:24.800
<v Speaker 1>especially since that Kansas City game in Week eight. Has

0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:29.119
<v Speaker 1>there been a difference between McCoy's offense and Musgrave's offense

0:27:29.119 --> 0:27:33.480
<v Speaker 1>since McCoy left, I think, to some extent um, things

0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 1>have been simplified a little bit. They've talked about that

0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:40.280
<v Speaker 1>when uh McCoy left that at times they were finding

0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:42.960
<v Speaker 1>too many answers and that that doesn't necessarily sound like

0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:46.680
<v Speaker 1>a problem where you've got too many answers to things

0:27:46.680 --> 0:27:48.520
<v Speaker 1>that other teams are doing. But I think what was

0:27:48.560 --> 0:27:50.760
<v Speaker 1>happening is they were getting bogged down. There are a

0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:53.080
<v Speaker 1>couple of reports that there were things being called in

0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:57.600
<v Speaker 1>games that weren't necessarily being called during practice that week,

0:27:57.880 --> 0:28:00.680
<v Speaker 1>And I think what Joseph wanted to get two was, Hey,

0:28:00.960 --> 0:28:03.880
<v Speaker 1>let's be really good at this set of things and

0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:06.760
<v Speaker 1>let's see where that gets us. And at times it's worked.

0:28:06.880 --> 0:28:09.880
<v Speaker 1>There's been drives, there's one against Miami where they move

0:28:09.960 --> 0:28:12.800
<v Speaker 1>the ball down the field with ease um. The issue

0:28:12.880 --> 0:28:14.399
<v Speaker 1>is just that they can't seem to get out of

0:28:14.400 --> 0:28:16.959
<v Speaker 1>their own way, and there are too many instances in

0:28:17.000 --> 0:28:19.680
<v Speaker 1>which those drives are going well and then a tipped

0:28:19.720 --> 0:28:23.080
<v Speaker 1>pass gets intercepted, or there's a snap over Simeon's head

0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:26.679
<v Speaker 1>for a safety, or upun return gets dropped. And I

0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:30.000
<v Speaker 1>think that's where the issue is and that they've struggled

0:28:30.320 --> 0:28:33.200
<v Speaker 1>to not make those killer mistakes. But I think from

0:28:33.200 --> 0:28:35.760
<v Speaker 1>an offensive standpoint, it has changed a little bit in

0:28:35.840 --> 0:28:37.919
<v Speaker 1>terms of getting back to the strength of the offense,

0:28:37.920 --> 0:28:41.520
<v Speaker 1>which is running the football, which is making these easier throws.

0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:43.640
<v Speaker 1>They don't need to go out there and have a

0:28:43.720 --> 0:28:47.120
<v Speaker 1>huge playbook and have a hugely complicated scheme. They just

0:28:47.200 --> 0:28:49.320
<v Speaker 1>need to do right now. I would say two or

0:28:49.360 --> 0:28:51.280
<v Speaker 1>three things really well, and that should be enough to

0:28:51.600 --> 0:28:53.520
<v Speaker 1>get them back to at least being competitive. A lot

0:28:53.560 --> 0:28:56.040
<v Speaker 1>of talent on the defensive side of the ball starts

0:28:56.040 --> 0:28:58.960
<v Speaker 1>with Von Miller, the NFL's top fass rush er. You

0:28:58.960 --> 0:29:00.800
<v Speaker 1>look at those cornerback act I don't know if you're

0:29:00.840 --> 0:29:04.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna find a finer duo in the National Football League

0:29:04.600 --> 0:29:07.960
<v Speaker 1>than the Key to Leave and Chris Harris uh Wade

0:29:08.000 --> 0:29:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Phillips though is in l A with the Rams coordinated

0:29:11.000 --> 0:29:16.560
<v Speaker 1>net defense. Has anything changed schematically with the Broncos this season.

0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:20.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, I would say if you look early in games,

0:29:20.680 --> 0:29:23.840
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos are actually better than they were a year ago. UM.

0:29:24.200 --> 0:29:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Some of the defensive players talked about how at times

0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the script was so set at the beginning of the

0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:33.560
<v Speaker 1>game and it was still routine that opposing teams essentially

0:29:33.640 --> 0:29:35.800
<v Speaker 1>knew exactly what the Broncos were gonna do weekend and

0:29:35.840 --> 0:29:37.840
<v Speaker 1>week out, and that put them in a lot of

0:29:37.880 --> 0:29:41.000
<v Speaker 1>early holes. UM. I think last year there was something

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:43.560
<v Speaker 1>like only one of the last ten games or something

0:29:43.560 --> 0:29:45.320
<v Speaker 1>like that a team didn't go down the field and

0:29:45.400 --> 0:29:49.560
<v Speaker 1>score on their first possession. That's changed this year. Defensive

0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:53.320
<v Speaker 1>coordinator Joe Woods has has tweaked some things, especially on

0:29:53.360 --> 0:29:57.640
<v Speaker 1>that first drive, and they've played well enough, UM at

0:29:57.680 --> 0:30:01.080
<v Speaker 1>times to win football games. You said, Von Miller, he's

0:30:01.120 --> 0:30:03.400
<v Speaker 1>one of the best pass rushers in the game. UM

0:30:03.400 --> 0:30:07.320
<v Speaker 1>only has eight sacks this excuse me, nine sacks this year, UM,

0:30:07.360 --> 0:30:08.800
<v Speaker 1>And I think part of that as teams are just

0:30:08.840 --> 0:30:12.480
<v Speaker 1>so focused on chipping him making somebody else beat them,

0:30:12.520 --> 0:30:16.080
<v Speaker 1>and that hasn't always happened. UM. Shane Ray is playing

0:30:16.120 --> 0:30:19.400
<v Speaker 1>with a cast on his left hand after a training

0:30:19.400 --> 0:30:23.360
<v Speaker 1>camp injury. Shaquille Barrett is playing well um and has

0:30:23.400 --> 0:30:25.680
<v Speaker 1>made some plays the last couple of weeks, but really

0:30:25.680 --> 0:30:28.120
<v Speaker 1>they need to find a way to get Vaughan more involved.

0:30:28.400 --> 0:30:30.000
<v Speaker 1>And then, like you talked about, in the back end,

0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Chris Harris and the keep to Leave are two of

0:30:32.640 --> 0:30:34.720
<v Speaker 1>the best in the league. In this past week when

0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I keep to Leave missed a game because of his suspension,

0:30:37.040 --> 0:30:39.120
<v Speaker 1>we saw Bradley Roby out there for a week and

0:30:39.160 --> 0:30:42.160
<v Speaker 1>he had five p bus had a really really solid game,

0:30:42.240 --> 0:30:45.320
<v Speaker 1>forced the fumble, recovered that fumble um and looked good

0:30:45.360 --> 0:30:47.960
<v Speaker 1>in that number two corner spot. So I think they

0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:51.680
<v Speaker 1>feel good about where they are with individual players. But

0:30:51.760 --> 0:30:53.520
<v Speaker 1>the issue is is that the last few weeks, the

0:30:53.560 --> 0:30:56.720
<v Speaker 1>offense has put together a scoring drive and then you expect, okay,

0:30:56.760 --> 0:30:58.240
<v Speaker 1>the defense is going to come on here and get

0:30:58.240 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 1>a stop and you're gonna be right back in it,

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:02.880
<v Speaker 1>and then the team has gone on the opposing team

0:31:02.880 --> 0:31:04.720
<v Speaker 1>has gone on a long drive to score a touchdown.

0:31:05.040 --> 0:31:07.880
<v Speaker 1>And what Joseph said this week about that is, hey, listen,

0:31:08.080 --> 0:31:10.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't really care if we lose by four or

0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:12.680
<v Speaker 1>we lose by twenty four. And there are times during

0:31:12.960 --> 0:31:14.920
<v Speaker 1>games when I'm going to take some chances to make

0:31:14.960 --> 0:31:17.400
<v Speaker 1>sure we have that opportunity to win, and I think

0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:21.120
<v Speaker 1>that's led to some busted coverages, some big plays and

0:31:21.160 --> 0:31:23.040
<v Speaker 1>the defense not being able to get off the field

0:31:23.040 --> 0:31:25.479
<v Speaker 1>and the offense can get back. Eric de la la

0:31:25.720 --> 0:31:29.760
<v Speaker 1>from Denver Broncos dot com, he's associate editor, joining us

0:31:29.840 --> 0:31:34.200
<v Speaker 1>on the Official Jets podcast game preview, Jets Broncos, how

0:31:34.320 --> 0:31:38.280
<v Speaker 1>is that locker room? Starting three and one, Denver did,

0:31:38.840 --> 0:31:42.840
<v Speaker 1>and then after that eight game losing streak for some teams,

0:31:42.880 --> 0:31:46.440
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna take a big time turn for the worst. Uh.

0:31:46.600 --> 0:31:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you anticipate the Broncos coming out with the spirited

0:31:50.880 --> 0:31:54.280
<v Speaker 1>efforts Sunday? Yeah, you know, I'll be really interested to

0:31:54.320 --> 0:31:57.640
<v Speaker 1>see how they play. The feeling of the locker room

0:31:57.680 --> 0:32:00.640
<v Speaker 1>previous to this game against the Dolphins that everybody was

0:32:00.680 --> 0:32:03.479
<v Speaker 1>still upbeat. They were losing these close games they were

0:32:03.560 --> 0:32:05.240
<v Speaker 1>or they were losing the teams that they thought were

0:32:05.280 --> 0:32:07.600
<v Speaker 1>better than them, and then this week happened when it

0:32:07.640 --> 0:32:10.400
<v Speaker 1>seemed like everything went wrong. They had two safeties, they

0:32:10.440 --> 0:32:13.880
<v Speaker 1>threw three picks, the Dolphins had a bunch of long drives,

0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:16.240
<v Speaker 1>and it was just kind of a microcosm with the

0:32:16.320 --> 0:32:19.200
<v Speaker 1>season and Chris Harris, I think said it best after

0:32:19.280 --> 0:32:21.320
<v Speaker 1>the game when he said, we shouldn't be losing like

0:32:21.400 --> 0:32:24.160
<v Speaker 1>this to this type of team. And I think that's

0:32:24.160 --> 0:32:27.520
<v Speaker 1>where maybe the frustration sets in that like, this team

0:32:27.520 --> 0:32:31.200
<v Speaker 1>that's only eighteen months removed from a Super Bowl title

0:32:31.680 --> 0:32:34.480
<v Speaker 1>is now getting blown out in Miami, And so that's

0:32:34.480 --> 0:32:37.200
<v Speaker 1>going to be interesting to see whether they keep that up,

0:32:37.240 --> 0:32:39.840
<v Speaker 1>whether the leadership on the team, captains like von Miller

0:32:39.880 --> 0:32:42.440
<v Speaker 1>and da Marius Thomas and to keep to lead, can

0:32:42.560 --> 0:32:44.960
<v Speaker 1>keep the team dialed in. But I do think it'll

0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:48.200
<v Speaker 1>be interesting to see what the intensity is like, because

0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:50.240
<v Speaker 1>it is more difficult when you're three and nine to

0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:52.000
<v Speaker 1>get up for a game than when you're three and one.

0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Have teams the past couple of weeks gone about attacking

0:32:55.680 --> 0:32:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos unit? And how do you expect the Jets

0:32:59.240 --> 0:33:03.520
<v Speaker 1>to use their talent to try to move the ball

0:33:03.560 --> 0:33:07.720
<v Speaker 1>against the very talented unit. I think the thing that

0:33:07.800 --> 0:33:10.720
<v Speaker 1>opposing teams have done well when they've had success against

0:33:10.720 --> 0:33:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos is one they target the tight end. The

0:33:13.560 --> 0:33:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Broncos have had a lot of trouble stopping the tight

0:33:16.280 --> 0:33:19.120
<v Speaker 1>end position, whether that was against the New York Giants

0:33:19.160 --> 0:33:21.560
<v Speaker 1>when this whole skid kind of started, um and Evan

0:33:21.640 --> 0:33:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Ingram was the only healthy option the Giants had, and

0:33:24.680 --> 0:33:27.360
<v Speaker 1>he just kind of torched the Broncos in that game.

0:33:27.720 --> 0:33:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Whether it's Hunter Hunter Henry against the Chargers, whether it

0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:32.600
<v Speaker 1>was Travis Kelsey against the Chiefs, that's just kind of

0:33:32.640 --> 0:33:35.280
<v Speaker 1>gone on and on, UM, and they've allowed a lot

0:33:35.480 --> 0:33:38.960
<v Speaker 1>of touchdowns to tight ends. UM. I think the other

0:33:39.000 --> 0:33:42.160
<v Speaker 1>thing is simple crossing rounds. A lot of teams aren't.

0:33:42.200 --> 0:33:44.160
<v Speaker 1>They're still not going after a keep to leave, They're

0:33:44.200 --> 0:33:46.000
<v Speaker 1>still not going after Chris Harris. It's not like those

0:33:46.000 --> 0:33:48.680
<v Speaker 1>guys are getting burned. But when you're up tend nothing

0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:51.200
<v Speaker 1>like most of the Broncos opponents have been early. You

0:33:51.240 --> 0:33:53.400
<v Speaker 1>don't have to take chances against those guys. You can

0:33:53.400 --> 0:33:56.640
<v Speaker 1>take the easy throw, you can take the dump off pass.

0:33:57.040 --> 0:33:59.080
<v Speaker 1>You can even just run the ball on third and

0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:00.960
<v Speaker 1>four and see what hapens and then punt the ball

0:34:01.000 --> 0:34:03.240
<v Speaker 1>if you need to, and just stay in the game.

0:34:03.520 --> 0:34:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Because it recently the Broncos have hurt themselves enough where

0:34:06.600 --> 0:34:08.839
<v Speaker 1>teams haven't had to score a ton of points, are

0:34:08.840 --> 0:34:12.000
<v Speaker 1>put together a ton of long drives. UM. So for

0:34:12.040 --> 0:34:14.640
<v Speaker 1>the Jets, they think if they're able to get the

0:34:14.719 --> 0:34:16.960
<v Speaker 1>run game going just a little bit, which will be

0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:20.279
<v Speaker 1>tough because the Broncos are second best in the league

0:34:20.320 --> 0:34:23.719
<v Speaker 1>against the rush. That's one thing they've been really good at. Um.

0:34:23.760 --> 0:34:25.359
<v Speaker 1>But if they're able to do that, get the tight

0:34:25.480 --> 0:34:28.120
<v Speaker 1>end involved a little bit, and then if they're able

0:34:28.160 --> 0:34:30.680
<v Speaker 1>to get ahead early, just take advantage of some of

0:34:30.719 --> 0:34:32.960
<v Speaker 1>these dump off route some of these crossing rounds that

0:34:33.000 --> 0:34:37.160
<v Speaker 1>aren't these super convoluted or complicated patterns. Um but get

0:34:37.160 --> 0:34:40.080
<v Speaker 1>guys in some space, that's where they're going to find success.

0:34:40.120 --> 0:34:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I think, well, Greens, it sounds like awesome. Safari and Jenkins,

0:34:43.239 --> 0:34:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the Jets big tight end could have a busy day.

0:34:45.719 --> 0:34:49.719
<v Speaker 1>And also Jermaine Curses been very successful work in the

0:34:49.760 --> 0:34:52.120
<v Speaker 1>middle on those crossing patterns as well. And the Jets

0:34:52.120 --> 0:34:56.000
<v Speaker 1>are getting Robby Anderson moving all over the place and Eric,

0:34:56.080 --> 0:34:59.200
<v Speaker 1>that's one thing that we're really looking forward to on

0:34:59.320 --> 0:35:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Sunday in Denver's Robby Anderson and Jermaine Curse being tested

0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:08.840
<v Speaker 1>by these premier corners. You mentioned Punt in your previous answer,

0:35:09.160 --> 0:35:12.919
<v Speaker 1>and what lit up in my head is what's going

0:35:13.000 --> 0:35:17.040
<v Speaker 1>on with the Broncos special teams In two thousand and seventeen. Yeah,

0:35:17.080 --> 0:35:18.560
<v Speaker 1>it kind of all came to a head a few

0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:21.640
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago and against the Patriots, UM, they gave up

0:35:21.680 --> 0:35:25.840
<v Speaker 1>a big return, they dropped punt return. UM, they almost

0:35:25.840 --> 0:35:29.040
<v Speaker 1>had a safety on a kickoff return. UM. Things have

0:35:29.120 --> 0:35:32.719
<v Speaker 1>gotten a little bit better, but I think Broccoliba, who's

0:35:32.760 --> 0:35:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the new special teams coordinator here, he came over from

0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City where he learned under Dave Tobe, who has

0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:39.439
<v Speaker 1>been there for a long time, was that he needs

0:35:39.440 --> 0:35:41.600
<v Speaker 1>to instill this attitude and the guys here, and he

0:35:41.600 --> 0:35:43.440
<v Speaker 1>said it's been his fault that he hasn't done that

0:35:43.600 --> 0:35:46.120
<v Speaker 1>yet and he hasn't taught them what it means to

0:35:46.200 --> 0:35:48.480
<v Speaker 1>be a special teams player, to be a good special

0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:51.640
<v Speaker 1>teams player, I think in particular where you've seen problems

0:35:51.800 --> 0:35:55.120
<v Speaker 1>is the punt return unit. UM. Last year the Broncos

0:35:55.160 --> 0:35:57.320
<v Speaker 1>really struggled with that. They went out and drafted Isaiah

0:35:57.360 --> 0:35:59.520
<v Speaker 1>mackenzie had at Georgia and thought he was going to

0:35:59.600 --> 0:36:02.640
<v Speaker 1>be the sir. In the preseason, he really flashed and

0:36:02.680 --> 0:36:04.279
<v Speaker 1>he looked like he was going to be that guy.

0:36:04.680 --> 0:36:07.600
<v Speaker 1>He had some big returns, but he's really had issues

0:36:07.920 --> 0:36:11.320
<v Speaker 1>catching the ball. I think at this point it's probably

0:36:11.320 --> 0:36:13.719
<v Speaker 1>a mental thing. They sat him down after that New

0:36:13.760 --> 0:36:15.600
<v Speaker 1>England game for a few weeks, and he got his

0:36:15.640 --> 0:36:18.800
<v Speaker 1>first chance back against the Dolphins and he fumbled again

0:36:19.040 --> 0:36:22.400
<v Speaker 1>and had there was a safety um and Joseph said

0:36:22.600 --> 0:36:26.000
<v Speaker 1>yesterday that he's done for the season, and so Jordan Taylor,

0:36:26.200 --> 0:36:29.040
<v Speaker 1>who's a reserve wide receiver, will take that over um.

0:36:29.080 --> 0:36:31.440
<v Speaker 1>He's sure handed, he hasn't fumbled. He's also not a

0:36:31.520 --> 0:36:33.920
<v Speaker 1>dynamic return threat where he's going to break one for

0:36:34.000 --> 0:36:36.920
<v Speaker 1>sixty yards. So I think again that takes away from

0:36:36.960 --> 0:36:39.759
<v Speaker 1>some of the big playability that the Broncos have, but

0:36:39.880 --> 0:36:41.719
<v Speaker 1>it makes sure that they don't turn the ball over.

0:36:41.760 --> 0:36:43.600
<v Speaker 1>And so that's that's kind of where the Broncos are.

0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:46.920
<v Speaker 1>They're sacrificing that big play potential just so they don't

0:36:46.960 --> 0:36:50.920
<v Speaker 1>put themselves behind. Kick Wise, Brandon McManus has been solid.

0:36:51.680 --> 0:36:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Riley Dixon, the second year punter, has had his issues

0:36:54.280 --> 0:36:57.719
<v Speaker 1>at times, but he's also been pretty decent. It's really

0:36:57.760 --> 0:37:01.560
<v Speaker 1>been the coverage units, it's been a pun return unit,

0:37:01.680 --> 0:37:04.000
<v Speaker 1>and they haven't really had a spark at the kick

0:37:04.040 --> 0:37:07.040
<v Speaker 1>return unit, and so I think they need to evaluate

0:37:07.120 --> 0:37:08.920
<v Speaker 1>that in the off season, but for now, it seems

0:37:08.920 --> 0:37:11.520
<v Speaker 1>like they're just trying to survive. Make sure to please

0:37:11.960 --> 0:37:15.760
<v Speaker 1>follow Eric da Lalla on Twitter again working with Denver

0:37:15.840 --> 0:37:18.719
<v Speaker 1>Broncos dot com. Eric, thanks so much for joining us.

0:37:19.239 --> 0:37:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for having me. Guys appreciate it all right, greens

0:37:22.080 --> 0:37:25.640
<v Speaker 1>is Eric de Lalla was mentioning the Broncos are not

0:37:26.040 --> 0:37:30.280
<v Speaker 1>in quote unquote survival mode and they're not looking ahead

0:37:30.280 --> 0:37:32.520
<v Speaker 1>to next year. By saying, Okay, we're just gonna look

0:37:32.520 --> 0:37:35.920
<v Speaker 1>and evalue weight players for two thousand and eighteen, he

0:37:36.080 --> 0:37:39.120
<v Speaker 1>sounds like a coach who wants to get that win

0:37:39.280 --> 0:37:41.880
<v Speaker 1>and feeling back inside the locker room. There's no doubt

0:37:41.880 --> 0:37:45.239
<v Speaker 1>about it. And what I took away from talking to

0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Eric was this is a great opportunity for Austin suffering Jenkins.

0:37:49.200 --> 0:37:52.680
<v Speaker 1>So I'm really looking forward to seeing how he's utilized

0:37:52.760 --> 0:37:56.319
<v Speaker 1>this Sunday. And furthermore, is is there a development with

0:37:56.400 --> 0:37:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Chad Hits And we saw him pick up a pair

0:37:58.640 --> 0:38:02.200
<v Speaker 1>of third down catches this weekend. Again Delala just using

0:38:02.239 --> 0:38:06.680
<v Speaker 1>what he said is the crossing rounds the slot position

0:38:06.800 --> 0:38:10.480
<v Speaker 1>has been a weakness when you look at the Broncos

0:38:10.520 --> 0:38:14.520
<v Speaker 1>secondary because Harrison to Leave have been doing a great job,

0:38:14.600 --> 0:38:16.520
<v Speaker 1>So maybe this will open up the door for someone

0:38:16.560 --> 0:38:18.840
<v Speaker 1>like Chad Hanson, maybe our Darius Stewart as well. But

0:38:18.880 --> 0:38:20.759
<v Speaker 1>I just want to give a quick shout out to

0:38:20.920 --> 0:38:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Riley Dixon, the punter of the Broncos, because he and

0:38:23.680 --> 0:38:29.279
<v Speaker 1>I were alumnus or alumni of Syracuse University and every week,

0:38:29.800 --> 0:38:31.840
<v Speaker 1>hold on every week, ID to go look up and

0:38:31.840 --> 0:38:34.720
<v Speaker 1>down a roster and see you want to Florida or Maryland,

0:38:34.760 --> 0:38:37.799
<v Speaker 1>or Kinnisians for that matter, or Hamburg High School. But

0:38:38.160 --> 0:38:41.440
<v Speaker 1>it is more, it is more rare. It's more a

0:38:41.560 --> 0:38:44.719
<v Speaker 1>rarity that there is an orangeman in the NFL than

0:38:44.760 --> 0:38:47.040
<v Speaker 1>there is a game. Yeah, and of course it's a kicker.

0:38:47.800 --> 0:38:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Of course they're in the same can Hunters are people too,

0:38:53.840 --> 0:38:57.160
<v Speaker 1>and you are a person as well. But it's interesting

0:38:57.560 --> 0:39:05.000
<v Speaker 1>that you're fun. Fact today is of Syracuse alum connection

0:39:05.400 --> 0:39:07.560
<v Speaker 1>with the putter. And I know by the way the

0:39:07.600 --> 0:39:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Broncos had struggled mightily on special teams this year. I

0:39:11.120 --> 0:39:14.160
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of folks at home who don't often

0:39:14.200 --> 0:39:17.280
<v Speaker 1>get a chance to watch the Broncos. Saw them Sunday

0:39:17.360 --> 0:39:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Night Football a few weeks ago home against New England

0:39:20.719 --> 0:39:24.239
<v Speaker 1>and last week ye against Miami. They gave up a

0:39:24.320 --> 0:39:28.279
<v Speaker 1>big punt return, they fumbled away a kick, they gave

0:39:28.400 --> 0:39:31.959
<v Speaker 1>up an on size kick. So hey, maybe the guy

0:39:32.000 --> 0:39:36.600
<v Speaker 1>to watch this week is Jojo Netsen, the five seven,

0:39:36.640 --> 0:39:40.040
<v Speaker 1>a hundred and fifty three, a hundred and sixty pounder

0:39:40.120 --> 0:39:43.120
<v Speaker 1>who can fly. Maybe this is the week that he

0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:45.640
<v Speaker 1>gets going. And you mentioned special teams, I'll tell you

0:39:45.719 --> 0:39:48.440
<v Speaker 1>two guys who don't mind going to Denver. It's Chandler

0:39:48.520 --> 0:39:54.719
<v Speaker 1>Canton zero and Lockland Edwards because the ball travels. Is

0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:57.840
<v Speaker 1>that all right? There you have it The Official Jets
