Speaker 1: The game is over, New York, the world. You play
Speaker 1: to win the game. He's got it. That's Jets. What's down? Can't?
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Official New York Jets Podcast, a
Speaker 1: Jets three sixty production. What's up everybody? Thanks for tuning
Speaker 1: in again at the Official Jets podcast. A Thanksgiving is over.
Speaker 1: I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Did you enjoy
Speaker 1: your Thanksgiving? I know your folks were in town. It
Speaker 1: was a great Thanksgiving? And Black Friday shopping for you
Speaker 1: or no? No? Of course? Not? Of course, not online,
Speaker 1: A little bit nothing. We were in the building working
Speaker 1: like good Jets employees that we are. But you can
Speaker 1: still find some time, an hour maybe to browse online
Speaker 1: if you got a secret. I don't have a personal
Speaker 1: email account. The only account I have, and I think
Speaker 1: you know this means, is my official Jets account. Okay,
Speaker 1: so no Black Friday shopping? So what do you do
Speaker 1: for holiday shopping there? Because usually Black Friday is a
Speaker 1: great time to do holiday shopping. You're really extending this
Speaker 1: topic right now. I would ask you did you do
Speaker 1: any Friday shopping? A little you did? Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 1: Not not, I'm not I'm not about the in person
Speaker 1: Black Friday shopping, in person going to the mall for anything.
Speaker 1: No me neither. So uh yeah, there's always sells, right.
Speaker 1: And my other thing is, are they really sells because
Speaker 1: every one of these merchandise retail places now I think that.
Speaker 1: And do they have automatic markups so they can give
Speaker 1: you off off? There are stores that are notorious for
Speaker 1: sending you emails every day off. How is that even possible?
Speaker 1: I know, I totally agree with you. I will say
Speaker 1: that I do get a lot of emails from Banana Republic,
Speaker 1: so I know their prices relatively well, just by quick browsing,
Speaker 1: and I feel like their deals are usually pretty good.
Speaker 1: I mean it's over fifty off for some for some
Speaker 1: things like I got a vest for twenty dollars. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
Speaker 1: I haven't shot that Banana republican along. I'm a big
Speaker 1: Banana Republic truth be told. My pants and my sweater
Speaker 1: are both from Banana Republic that I'm wearing right now.
Speaker 1: Not not that anyone needed to know that, or not
Speaker 1: that anyone can see that, because obviously we're being recorded
Speaker 1: just for audio purposes right now, but you're you're giving
Speaker 1: away email secret secrets. I'm giving away I like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you do. The official provider for e A's
Speaker 1: wardrobe on game day that is true game Day on
Speaker 1: live shows and and of course just flight Plan which
Speaker 1: eleventh each Sunday, but you can check it out on
Speaker 1: New York that's dot com and all our social platforms.
Speaker 1: Sex Fifth Avenue brings it all. Right, Well, let's move
Speaker 1: on here to some football. Enough Black Friday weeping for
Speaker 1: US Jets and Patriots last Sunday. Jets felt to three
Speaker 1: and eight on the year, but really a tale of
Speaker 1: two halves because in the first half the Jets, I thought,
Speaker 1: came out with a good amount of fight ten ten
Speaker 1: going into intermission and then of course the final So
Speaker 1: what did you see out of the Jets that maybe
Speaker 1: you liked compared to what happened in week ten? Obviously
Speaker 1: that was the blowout to the Bills that everyone felt
Speaker 1: like was the first time that the Jets got smacked,
Speaker 1: at least speaking from the player's perspective. Well, no moral victories.
Speaker 1: And I have to come to the players defense to
Speaker 1: a little bit because some of the questions are positioned
Speaker 1: as hey did you think you guys gave a better
Speaker 1: effort than he did against Buffalo, And of course the
Speaker 1: natural answer is, yeah, we competed better, and they did.
Speaker 1: They competed better. But you know you tweeted early in
Speaker 1: the week and we talked about it, is that every
Speaker 1: game Jets Patriots an FC East divisional uh clubs. Listen,
Speaker 1: you're you're gonna have some kind of pushback. But the
Speaker 1: bottom line is, even though it was thirteen thirteen game,
Speaker 1: Patriots ended up winning by fourteen points on the road,
Speaker 1: and they rolled up five hundred yards of total offense
Speaker 1: and he rushed the ball for two hundred yards. What
Speaker 1: was I encouraged about here is quickly, I'll say, Josh
Speaker 1: McCown spread the football around. Chris Herning continues to develop
Speaker 1: a career high seven receptions. The offensive line I thought
Speaker 1: held up pretty well without big James Carpenter in there,
Speaker 1: Jonathan Harrison anchoring at the center position. We saw Spencer
Speaker 1: Long get out on that nice pole block that you
Speaker 1: wrote about this week. And then defensively, I thought Darryl
Speaker 1: Roberts performed admirably first first start at the free safety position.
Speaker 1: But all in all, just tough and it's a tough
Speaker 1: environment right now for this Jets team, I mean three
Speaker 1: and eight, and you gotta look at this week's upon
Speaker 1: it because they're in the midst of a funk themselves
Speaker 1: before we get to the Tennessee title. What else did
Speaker 1: you like? What you didn't mention Jamal Adams? Just because
Speaker 1: I think that if you've watched the Jets at all
Speaker 1: this season, you've realized the kind of leaps that Jamal
Speaker 1: Adams taken in year two. And I think that Sunday
Speaker 1: was a great example. And he said that he was
Speaker 1: looking forward to facing Rob Gronkowski, and I mean they
Speaker 1: met real early in the game. The Patriots on their
Speaker 1: second drive or no excuse me, their first drive up
Speaker 1: the sideline to Rob Gronkowski and before he could catch
Speaker 1: and turn and try to extend for the first out,
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams met him immediately. The ball popped out in
Speaker 1: complete pass and Jamal Adams had three pass defenses, nine tackles,
Speaker 1: And I mean he eats balls out pretty much every game,
Speaker 1: and he's he's really been great for the Jets this year.
Speaker 1: And I know it's early, but he could be the
Speaker 1: Curtis Martin team m v P come the end. Of
Speaker 1: the season. I mean, would that surprise you at any stretch,
Speaker 1: I'd say, since gambling is legal now in New Jersey
Speaker 1: except for folks like US sports gambling, anyway, I would
Speaker 1: say that he is a huge favorite to be the
Speaker 1: Curtis Martin MVP. And for Jamal specifically, I would say
Speaker 1: that I think it means a lot to him now
Speaker 1: that he is even more past defenses than he does
Speaker 1: tackles behind the line of scrimmage, because I watched your
Speaker 1: interview with him in the locker room. I was around
Speaker 1: him when he spoke to the media after the game,
Speaker 1: and he mentioned respect about three or four times, and
Speaker 1: nobody was asking him about the lack of respect he
Speaker 1: was receiving. But you know, it really bothers him that
Speaker 1: people talk of him as a one dimensional player, as
Speaker 1: a guy just plays in the box. And obviously we've
Speaker 1: seen him be explosive and sudden in the offensive backfield,
Speaker 1: but in the defensive backfield. Now his coverage is a
Speaker 1: lot better in his second season, and his eyes are better,
Speaker 1: and top Bowl said, he's having a great season. And
Speaker 1: I don't know what odds you want to make on it,
Speaker 1: but he's overwhelming favorite to be the Curtis Marton team
Speaker 1: on VP. I'd be shocked on anything. I don't know
Speaker 1: what anybody could do to grab it from him. And
Speaker 1: with that being said, I think the honor will mean
Speaker 1: a lot to him, but he wants to win football
Speaker 1: games and he's piste off just like this fan base. Well,
Speaker 1: I think the respect thing probably goes back to when
Speaker 1: he was coming out of the draft, and I mean
Speaker 1: the knock on him was that he didn't have big
Speaker 1: interception numbers at Alice You. I think he had either
Speaker 1: one or three picks in his jenyear down in the Buyou.
Speaker 1: But I mean interceptions isn't the only measuring stick for
Speaker 1: pass coverage. And you saw that on Sunday when Jamal
Speaker 1: Adams had three pass defenses, two of which came on
Speaker 1: back to back plays when he was one on one
Speaker 1: with Rob Bronkowski on the sideline in the end zone
Speaker 1: and Jamal stood up. And I think that he's been
Speaker 1: playing great this year. I wonder what he said to
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman when getting that pop Wait, the one where
Speaker 1: Julian I'm being flipped up a little bit. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: never stops talking. And here's my other thing about Adams
Speaker 1: is that he's the cornerstone piece for you, and uh,
Speaker 1: he probably it's safe to say he would start on
Speaker 1: any team in the National Football He is a blue
Speaker 1: chip player. He's gonna finish his year in Orlando. He'll
Speaker 1: go to his first Pro Bowl and I think will
Speaker 1: soak up the experience and the guy. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: despite the interception totals, he's a complete player and he
Speaker 1: is going to be here. And he says to the
Speaker 1: fan base, stick with us. You know, it is killing
Speaker 1: him to lose this much, no doubt about it. Want
Speaker 1: to talk about someone that you mentioned that played next
Speaker 1: to Jamal Adams. Darryl Roberts got the start at free safety.
Speaker 1: Marcus May didn't play with the shoulder injury. Obviously we
Speaker 1: don't have insight to the coaches as we sit here
Speaker 1: in studio, but what do you like about Roberts's game
Speaker 1: that you think perhaps could translate to him receiving the
Speaker 1: nod at free safety as opposed to some of the
Speaker 1: other guys on the roster. Because for me personally, speed well,
Speaker 1: he's got he's got good range, and when Jermaine Johnson
Speaker 1: was out, I thought Darryl Roberts played very well. Now, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a physical corner and again, what he gives you
Speaker 1: is um, you know, taking nothing away from the other
Speaker 1: two Cats, Terrence Brookston Rontez Miles both valuable pieces here.
Speaker 1: He is more ranged than both of those players, and
Speaker 1: he's not afraid to come up and stick you. And
Speaker 1: Darryl Roberts is an interesting eye for this team right now.
Speaker 1: I'm very curious what happens when May comes back, and
Speaker 1: I wonder if Dareral Roberts will be used almost as
Speaker 1: a third safety, because I think you definitely could do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we saw it last season. The Jets had
Speaker 1: a lot of three four safety looks. If you put
Speaker 1: Roberts out there. I mean, who's to say that's not
Speaker 1: gonna happen. But that's just something to keep your eye
Speaker 1: out for. But you had mentioned, or we talked about
Speaker 1: a little bit. Is Josh McCown a second start. Played
Speaker 1: clearly a lot better in this game than he did
Speaker 1: in Week ten against the Bills. But that could be
Speaker 1: said for all the players on both sides of the ball.
Speaker 1: But what did you like about the way this offense
Speaker 1: moved the ball? I know, Josh McCown said in the
Speaker 1: first half that he felt like the offense had some
Speaker 1: momentum going and they were in a rhythm more so.
Speaker 1: And then of course the second half only put up
Speaker 1: three points the totally ours. I mean, that's the first
Speaker 1: thing that jumps out at You're right, I mean they
Speaker 1: were right around three forty I think for the game
Speaker 1: what was like, So that's an improvement. U Um. They
Speaker 1: converted a little bit more on third down. I think
Speaker 1: we're there in the forties. There was what I want
Speaker 1: to say, six or fourteen and that kind of range,
Speaker 1: So they were better on third down. And that was
Speaker 1: an offensis Jeremy Pates and he threw the ball to
Speaker 1: eight different guys, so that means a lot of guys
Speaker 1: are involved. And Jermaine Curse who had the career I
Speaker 1: tying nine receptions against the Colts. Really, other than that,
Speaker 1: game is not developed that early chemistry, I would say
Speaker 1: with Sam Donald, which is no surprise. I think there's
Speaker 1: some more comfortability there between account and Curson. We saw that,
Speaker 1: especially in the sixteen yard scoring passes that Jets took
Speaker 1: the lead in that game Poincy and Noon while had
Speaker 1: seventy three yards receiving. I believe they all came in
Speaker 1: the first half. I think what you want to see
Speaker 1: from this team moving forward is if Quincy's going like that,
Speaker 1: hopefully they'll be able to get him the ball more
Speaker 1: in the second half. Because Quincy is another guy I
Speaker 1: think his contract is up and down the season. Jet's
Speaker 1: got a lot of tough decisions to make, but a
Speaker 1: lot of money. I'd love to see him in green
Speaker 1: and white for a while. Greens. Yeah. I think that
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys that you talk about it
Speaker 1: all the time. He's an energy player and when you
Speaker 1: look at certain games, even though he doesn't have the numbers,
Speaker 1: each time he touches the ball, he makes something happen.
Speaker 1: What was the game where he carried it was the
Speaker 1: Dolphins game right in Miami where he didn't get a
Speaker 1: whole lot of receptions, but Quincy catches the screen and
Speaker 1: he's dragging half the Dolphins defense down the sideline. I mean,
Speaker 1: those are the kinds of plays that boost the energy
Speaker 1: of a unit. And I think that Quincy really epitomizes
Speaker 1: an energy player and his I think his skill set
Speaker 1: is so unique because he's fast and he's huge. He's
Speaker 1: six two two twenty five. That's not that's not a
Speaker 1: normal wide receiver body. What did you think about the Patriots? Uh,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to get your thoughts there. This is
Speaker 1: a Jet spycast, of course, But New England man a
Speaker 1: lot of flags on the field. Yeah. That was offensively efficient,
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And defensively they did their typical
Speaker 1: bending but didn't break the only giving up the thirteen points.
Speaker 1: But wow, I don't remember I ever watching a New
Speaker 1: England team. Yeah, I mean, I mean the narrative is
Speaker 1: always you can't shoot yourselves in the foot against the Patriots,
Speaker 1: because they don't. But they did, they consistently, didn't they.
Speaker 1: I think they gave the Jets a chance. But the
Speaker 1: chunk plays were big issue. I mean, it's so many plays,
Speaker 1: especially start drives, are getting twenty plus gainers. Did I'm curious, Well,
Speaker 1: you think about this now that I'm replaying the game
Speaker 1: in my head and just my overall thoughts. Did you
Speaker 1: or do you think that this Patriots offense looks like
Speaker 1: a step behind from maybe what we've seen in the
Speaker 1: past couple of years, or you think it's all in
Speaker 1: par with what they've been doing for the past three years.
Speaker 1: Let's say I don't think they're on the same levels
Speaker 1: these other explosive offenses. And we discussed it last week,
Speaker 1: and I really love New Orleans offense. I think they're
Speaker 1: a team that being in the National Football Week basic
Speaker 1: compound you and Kamara, I think it's special. And then
Speaker 1: they mix in so many different pass coutchers led by
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, who's one of the games great targets. And
Speaker 1: then you have I think offenses they kind of mirror
Speaker 1: each other and the Rams and the Chiefs. I think
Speaker 1: it is a good offense. I think the quarterback is excellent.
Speaker 1: I think Sony Michelle is pretty good, and I think
Speaker 1: they run a little bit better than they had in
Speaker 1: the past. But are they anywhere near as explosive in
Speaker 1: the passing game. No, I don't think so. With that
Speaker 1: being said, I come home Sunday night and I'm watching
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh lose at Denver and beym Roethlisberg hat throwing an
Speaker 1: awful interception inside the red zone, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: here is New England and they're eight and three in
Speaker 1: their game back and I think they beat Kansas City.
Speaker 1: Didn't the hand in Kansas City? They're all there first
Speaker 1: of New England here they go, being a number one
Speaker 1: seed that they could be Texans, I find it. I'm
Speaker 1: interested to see the Texans here at middle Life Stadium.
Speaker 1: I think they're a good team. I don't think they're
Speaker 1: a great team. I don't think Kansas City is a
Speaker 1: great team. I think they have a great offense. I
Speaker 1: don't know what to make out of Pittsburgh. I don't
Speaker 1: think any of these teams are as good as the
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. Yeah, I agree with all that. I'm
Speaker 1: very curious to see what the Texans. I don't think
Speaker 1: they see. I I agree with you Greens. I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't look at any of these teams at the
Speaker 1: top of the FC and say, wow, oh my god,
Speaker 1: Kansas c. He can get dirty on you, but they're
Speaker 1: gonna be harder pressed to give up and not give
Speaker 1: up twenty. Especially if the Saints defense is playing the
Speaker 1: way that they played the past couple of weeks. That
Speaker 1: team is very scared. They stopped them running. They get
Speaker 1: off to the quarterback. They'll give up yards in the secondary,
Speaker 1: but they stop them run. They get after the quarterback,
Speaker 1: they run the ball to protect the quarterback, and the
Speaker 1: quarterback is immensely efficient and they are in Rhytham. I
Speaker 1: don't I really like the safety all right, So the
Speaker 1: Jets are going from a Bill Belichick Patriots team to
Speaker 1: have Bill Belichick disciple Tennessee Titans. See me like that.
Speaker 1: It's a good transition. So Mike, Mike Vrabel, the head
Speaker 1: coach of the Titans, first year head coach. I mean
Speaker 1: that team is also littered with some former Patriots Dion
Speaker 1: Lewis on the offensive side of the ball, Malcolm Butler
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. And I think
Speaker 1: when you look at this Titans team, I think that
Speaker 1: what sticks out is their defense and that they play
Speaker 1: extremely physical. And that's what Avery Williamson said why the
Speaker 1: Titans beat the Patriots a couple of weeks ago. That
Speaker 1: the Titans really bring it and they're gonna be at
Speaker 1: home this week, of course, as the Jets travel to
Speaker 1: Nashville to play the Tennessee Titans. So what do you
Speaker 1: like about this Titans defense and what kind of problems
Speaker 1: can they pose this Jets offense. Don't matter if Sam
Speaker 1: Donald or Josh McCown is under center. Well, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: can I take an overall look at the Titans right now?
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get into the Titans defense so much. Uh,
Speaker 1: we were gonna get into all of it at some point.
Speaker 1: I want to take the forty thousand foot look on
Speaker 1: the Titans. They're struggling big time. I know the Jets,
Speaker 1: I know the Jets are bro but this is a
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans team. And I'm writing about this right now
Speaker 1: on storylines you can want. You can read that in
Speaker 1: New York just dot com. You're all, You've got all
Speaker 1: the plugs. They have been outscored seventy two to the
Speaker 1: last two weeks against division rivals the Indianapolis Colts and
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. My other issue with them when I
Speaker 1: look at look at that team. They have up nearly
Speaker 1: three yards on the ground to the Texans, and yes,
Speaker 1: their defense places hard and tough and fizz a call.
Speaker 1: I look at Tennessee and say, and I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that just a winning this game is just have a
Speaker 1: number of issues themselves. My point is, this Tennessee team
Speaker 1: started three and one, They've lost five seven, and I
Speaker 1: don't know what their identities offensively, because you're asking me
Speaker 1: about defensively, I have no idea what they're trying to
Speaker 1: do their offensively right now. They've got a new blocking
Speaker 1: system up front. They have given up the most sacks
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Marcus Mariotta had like one
Speaker 1: incompletion and they lost by twenty points. And then Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry is a straight, straight, had north and south runner,
Speaker 1: but they don't get him the ball that much because
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis is getting the ball a lot and Mariota
Speaker 1: seems like he's checking the checking the ball down every
Speaker 1: time I look up. So I don't know what their
Speaker 1: identity is right now. I think I know what they
Speaker 1: want to be, but they certainly aren't that yet. He
Speaker 1: basically said, no Porlos Titans. Um. Listen, the last time
Speaker 1: they did play at home, they smacked them around the
Speaker 1: Patriots like they were the little brother. They're coming in
Speaker 1: and they're coming in and prable. It's like I'm gonna
Speaker 1: show you, Belichick, and they certainly did. I think it
Speaker 1: was like ten and knew it in that game. Probably
Speaker 1: wasn't as close as a score as indicated. But with
Speaker 1: that being said, the last two weeks they've been awful
Speaker 1: like the Jets were awful two weeks ago. Yeah, made
Speaker 1: some steps, so a lot more competitive. I didn't. The
Speaker 1: Titans have been awful last two weeks. Yeah, we're both
Speaker 1: of those games on the road. Yes, Okay, I just kidding.
Speaker 1: It was just curious. Yeah, I think that you said everything.
Speaker 1: Everything pretty pretty much sums it up. But no, I
Speaker 1: want to bring up the markets, but they're gonna be
Speaker 1: a healthy favorite and the Yeah, well I want to
Speaker 1: bring up Mark Mariota again because Marks Mariotta in the
Speaker 1: years completing seventy cents passes, which is great, but the
Speaker 1: point if it's thinking dunk and dinging dunk, you're not
Speaker 1: getting the yards that you need to be. And I
Speaker 1: have a lot of against Yeah, I have a lot
Speaker 1: of questions too. I'm making Marcus Mario to throw the
Speaker 1: ball and it's amazing to me that allowed the most
Speaker 1: sacks considering how mobile Mariota is. Also just putting that
Speaker 1: out there, well, yeah, he also got studs up front.
Speaker 1: Taylor former first round pick himself, Taylor Lawn is just
Speaker 1: a funny dude because he yeah, he's real funny. What
Speaker 1: is he on social media or whatever are social media's
Speaker 1: interviews he's got? He's he's a fan favorite. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure is he? Yeah, he's also the guy that leads
Speaker 1: the predators charge when they all go the offensive line
Speaker 1: goes with the catfish. But yeah, he's he's a Michigan guy.
Speaker 1: Thought that that matters anything. He's probably wasn't too happy
Speaker 1: on Saturday. I wouldn't amaze that nobody in Michigan was
Speaker 1: happy on Saturday. Yeah, that's a fair point. That was
Speaker 1: absolutely ridiculous. I didn't see that coming. Do you have
Speaker 1: anything else you want to talk about? And with the Titans,
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk You asked me about their defense. Well,
Speaker 1: some of their players. Dori Jackson is a younger player.
Speaker 1: L right, he was a pro bowler. I'm pretty sure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all wait, wait, maybe he just missed it last year. Okay, alright, alright,
Speaker 1: I know Corey Davison a big season, obviously, the wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Corey Davis was the fifth pick in the two thousand
Speaker 1: seven NFL Track. I mean when I think of the Titans,
Speaker 1: I always think about dal Casey. Yeah, of course, not
Speaker 1: in the interior, you know, I mean, Wesley would been
Speaker 1: there forever. Wesley would your consummate pro a rack Boll
Speaker 1: still there? Yeah, I believe he's still there on the outside.
Speaker 1: And then you got a couple of former Patriots there,
Speaker 1: which is not a surprise because Logan Ryan the fourth
Speaker 1: Patriot corner, and then Malcolm Butler was he got a
Speaker 1: big contract. I don't think he's having a season that
Speaker 1: he'd like to have right now. I don't think so
Speaker 1: all four that team. Uh, and you mentioned Dory Jackson,
Speaker 1: So I mean, listen, they got some guy. To me,
Speaker 1: it always up front, starts with Casey on on the inside.
Speaker 1: But I am very surprised about the way this team
Speaker 1: has really struggled to protect the quarterback. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's expecting from the Jets either, to
Speaker 1: be honest with you, because yes, they're on the five
Speaker 1: game slide. Yes, they've lost the last two by double digits.
Speaker 1: Who was Buffalo. It was before Buffalo Miami, so that
Speaker 1: wasn't Yeah, so it was in Miami home against Buffalo.
Speaker 1: Because the other thing I go go to with the
Speaker 1: Jets is that we've talked about it numerous times over
Speaker 1: the last two seasons. They just really haven't found a
Speaker 1: way to win on the road. It's too two wins
Speaker 1: since the beginning of two thousand seventeen season. I've been
Speaker 1: to both for the record one was in Cleveland where
Speaker 1: they came back and one of the Hugleist games in
Speaker 1: the NFL history. Yeah, I think it was the fourteen
Speaker 1: nothing halftime game. Jets scored seventeen points. No, it couldn't
Speaker 1: have been fourteen nothing because didn't Captain zero hit a
Speaker 1: fifty seven yard field goal, scored a couple of touchdowns
Speaker 1: maybe in the second half of the and the Jets
Speaker 1: also forced two Red Gillan turnovers. So, and then obviously
Speaker 1: Week one you were there Greens in Detroit, which seems
Speaker 1: a long time ago, unfortunately, but that's it since the
Speaker 1: beginning of the two thousand seventeen seasons. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe it'll be good getting out of here because home
Speaker 1: hasn't really been great for the Jets of lay either,
Speaker 1: you know. I don't know. Maybe again, switch is switched,
Speaker 1: some things up on the road. Maybe some guys like Herndon,
Speaker 1: you continue to see him progress. We're gonna have to
Speaker 1: monitor the status as we tape right now. We don't
Speaker 1: know if Sam Donald's playing this weekend. It's I wanted
Speaker 1: to bring that up before we close up shop here.
Speaker 1: What do you expect from Sam Donald once he comes
Speaker 1: back like, do you expect him to to play better
Speaker 1: than he did in the first x amount of game
Speaker 1: the first nine games of the year because he was
Speaker 1: able to take a couple of weeks to take a
Speaker 1: step back and then reinsert himself in the lineup. I
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe it can help him. And I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna go crazy here, but you know, people on Buffalo
Speaker 1: are excited. And the only reason I'm bringing out Buffaloes
Speaker 1: because they have a rookie quarterback. Here's a couple of
Speaker 1: things that have stood out to me about the rookie quarterbacks. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I just want to talk about Baker and Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: I think a little bit, and then I'm gonna transition
Speaker 1: to Donald of course, because if we're talking Jets, is
Speaker 1: Mayfield's playing better of late now. They made some changes
Speaker 1: there and things like that, and we don't know what
Speaker 1: the situation was, but he's taking steps here. Uh. Late
Speaker 1: in the season, Allen was out for like three or
Speaker 1: four games with the elbow injury, and he made some
Speaker 1: big time splash plays against the Jaguars that have people
Speaker 1: on Buffalo excited. I think that if you're a Jets fan,
Speaker 1: the future of this organization a lot of it is
Speaker 1: going to be resting on four team. So what I
Speaker 1: want to see if I'm a Jets fan, Yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: after he gets back and has that time to recover
Speaker 1: and feels fully healthy and has watched Josh McCown operates
Speaker 1: the offense for a couple of weeks, maybe he sees
Speaker 1: the game just a little bit differently and you just
Speaker 1: want to see some splash plays from him. I don't
Speaker 1: need to see seventy five yard touched on passes, but
Speaker 1: you want to see them move the ball down the
Speaker 1: field and him get in good rhythm with different players
Speaker 1: down the stretch, and him feel very comfortable in the pocket.
Speaker 1: We've seen that at times, but for none of the
Speaker 1: Rockie quarterbacks, So you can't see any He can't say
Speaker 1: any of these guys have been tremendously consistent. I I agree,
Speaker 1: no doubt, you know. I mean, Baker I would say
Speaker 1: has strung together the best two or three games of
Speaker 1: any of the quarterbacks of the first round picks or
Speaker 1: any rookie quarterback this year. Rather because ever since Hugh
Speaker 1: Jackson and Todd Hayley left, Baker's play has been very good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's been very good. So I think that if Sam
Speaker 1: comes back this week, I would think that he would
Speaker 1: play this week. Yeah, I think so. I mean, when
Speaker 1: you suit up for a week and even though you
Speaker 1: don't go through the motions of practice, he suited up,
Speaker 1: put the helmet on, it's a step in the right direction.
Speaker 1: So I think that hopefully this weekend we'll finally get
Speaker 1: to see four team back on the field. I want
Speaker 1: to see Donald and Allen play, and then I love
Speaker 1: it just from a that that would be the following
Speaker 1: from a pure viewing perspective. Uh, you got a chance
Speaker 1: maybe to see Donald and Deshaun Watson and Deshaun Watson
Speaker 1: uh first round pick in two thousand and seventeen. It's
Speaker 1: done a lot of good things, and they both worked
Speaker 1: with Jordan Palmer in their pre draft processery good point. Then,
Speaker 1: who knows what Aaron Rodgers is going to be at
Speaker 1: that point, but he's still one of the most talented
Speaker 1: players in the National Football League. So maybe right before
Speaker 1: Christmas you see Donald and Aaron Rodgers and Belichick is
Speaker 1: not gonna wrest Brady in December thirty yeth. I don't
Speaker 1: care what the situation is. He'll come out there at
Speaker 1: a tunnel and I'll start and I'll play at least
Speaker 1: a couple of quarters no matter where they are in
Speaker 1: terms of their playoffs, you need any could play all
Speaker 1: four quarters. So I think it'd be cool, uh for Donald,
Speaker 1: especially the final four games. Who knows what happens this week.
Speaker 1: If he doesn't practice Wednesday, then you gotta think you
Speaker 1: would lean early in the week to say probably not again.
Speaker 1: I think Wednesday is in an important day. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I totally agree. And ye, I guess we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: I will say that On a totally separate, unrelated note,
Speaker 1: Nashville is one of my favorite cities in the United States,
Speaker 1: is it? Yeah? And I'm excited to go back. What
Speaker 1: do you like most about it? It is such a
Speaker 1: different vibe than anything I've ever seen. Yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: like everyone's so friendly. At least this was my experience.
Speaker 1: Everyone was so friendly and open and live music everywhere.
Speaker 1: Like you could just walk down Broadway and go to
Speaker 1: a couple of different spots and feel like you're in
Speaker 1: It's just a different, totally different place than up here.
Speaker 1: It's totally different. All right. Do you like Nashville? I
Speaker 1: know you like country. I like country music with reason
Speaker 1: why I like country music. I'd love to hear. I
Speaker 1: also had great barbecue food when I went there. What
Speaker 1: was the place puckets? Is it down there in the
Speaker 1: main drag? Yes, sir, maybe I'll try that. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: the only thing. I get a little. I get a
Speaker 1: little claustrophobics sometimes the crowds. You're you're you're a city guy,
Speaker 1: but jeez, I mean the city streets of Nashville. God,
Speaker 1: to be fair, I know I'm a city guy, but
Speaker 1: I also do not like big crowd which is why
Speaker 1: I hate Times Square, Like Times Square is a death
Speaker 1: wish to me. So I'm just saying, is that Can
Speaker 1: I go down to Nashville and still get into the
Speaker 1: places and not feel like I'm shoulders shoulder? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. I think it depends on the place.
Speaker 1: But for the most part, yeah, i'd say so, okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm looking to avoid, all right, And then
Speaker 1: real late start to Nashville. Three o'clock. Yeah, so four
Speaker 1: pm for this is the longest longest uh the Jets
Speaker 1: will travel. I think as far as furthest West they travel,
Speaker 1: which is so strange because you don't think as Nashville
Speaker 1: as West right, and considering the Jets played in Chicago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would have never thought that either. And I used
Speaker 1: to be good with state capitals, which is which is
Speaker 1: just a random fact. But my point is here that
Speaker 1: what's the capital of Tennessee? Okah, but see I say Nashville.
Speaker 1: I think it is. Actually I'm gonna say Nashville. It's Knoxville. No,
Speaker 1: it's definitely not in Knoxville. I have been in Knoxville, though.
Speaker 1: You know what the capital of South Carolina is? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I do? Colombia. Yeah, okay, why South Carolina. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just thought about that. Sec Florida, Florida. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Hey you didn't let me answer Louisiana bat Rouge. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Well you mution in Illinois before you know what?
Speaker 1: That one in Springfield maybe on the Simpsons. I think
Speaker 1: a Champagne. Oh, I think you're wrong. It is Springfield.
Speaker 1: I think it's Springfield. Here we go the oh well,
Speaker 1: since we're on trivia questions. Last week's trivia question it
Speaker 1: was an impromptu one, nonetheless by Tom Brady has won
Speaker 1: four of five Super Bowl m vps, who is the
Speaker 1: fifth Patriots player to win the Super Bowl MVP. Do
Speaker 1: you know the answer, It's Springfield, That's what I said. Damn,
Speaker 1: that really polished me. Do you know the answer about
Speaker 1: North Carolina? Yeah, Charlotte's probably right, But what about real quick?

Speaker 1: v P? No infinite? The area Dion Branch baby, Yeah, Vince,
