Speaker 1: The game is over, New York. You play to win
Speaker 1: the game. He's got a Jet toucksdown, can't. You're listening
Speaker 1: to the Official New York Jets podcast, a Jets three
Speaker 1: sixty production. What's up, everybody? Thanks for downloading the official
Speaker 1: Jets podcast? Ethan Greenberg, Eric Allen in studio. He has
Speaker 1: the final game of the regular season. It's coming. It's
Speaker 1: crazy to think about that. Can people rate the podcast? Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, we appreciate a couple of ratings out there.
Speaker 1: Little reviews too, would be nice. Yeah, because I know
Speaker 1: people are listening all across the nation, maybe around the
Speaker 1: globe as well overseas. I'm sure we have a couple
Speaker 1: overseas listeners, no doubt, I would say more than a few.
Speaker 1: But so yeah, rate us, tell us what you think,
Speaker 1: tell us what you want to hear. Yeah, and the
Speaker 1: off season season goes by quickly, but a long days. Um,
Speaker 1: this is not the season in the New York Jets
Speaker 1: or the fan base wanted. With that being said, uh,
Speaker 1: you have a quarterback that is developing right in front
Speaker 1: of your very eyes. Sam Donald's playing awfully while down
Speaker 1: the stretch and went toe to toe with Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: last week, and this was what this season was really
Speaker 1: all about. When you turn the football over to the
Speaker 1: number three overall pick in the two thousand and eighteen draft,
Speaker 1: you wanted to see his development and him taking steps,
Speaker 1: and that's certainly happening right now. That makes me awfully
Speaker 1: excited and optimistic about the off season and what is ahead. Well,
Speaker 1: I think you hit the nail on the head when
Speaker 1: you look back on it really wasn't the year of
Speaker 1: Sam Donald and his growth. And I think it's a
Speaker 1: little bit bitter sweet, only because towards the end of
Speaker 1: the year, these past couple of games, since he's returned
Speaker 1: from injury, the offense has really seemed to find a stride.
Speaker 1: And so of course You're mine is gonna wonder as
Speaker 1: wander too. Okay, well, what if he played like that
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier? Could this be a different situation.
Speaker 1: But regardless, it's all positive here knowing that Sam Donald
Speaker 1: has taken these steps forward. I point back to Week
Speaker 1: eight in Chicago when Olivia Landis caught up with Tony
Speaker 1: Romo and he not that he called it, but he
Speaker 1: he said, as most players do in their first to
Speaker 1: second years, improved, But he said, you know, maybe he'll
Speaker 1: see him take off towards the end of two thousand
Speaker 1: and eighteen. And I think Sunday against the Packers was
Speaker 1: a prime example of that. He had a career high
Speaker 1: three forty one yards three touchdowns on rating. I mean,
Speaker 1: he was really phenomenal Sunday. He's been very efficient with
Speaker 1: the football, didn't turn it over. Like you mentioned, the
Speaker 1: Jets are extending drives. They didn't have the third down
Speaker 1: success Sunday against the Packers, but put up a lot
Speaker 1: of points. And you're seeing the continued development of Robby
Speaker 1: Anderson and Chris Herndon, and those guys are gonna be around,
Speaker 1: saying Donald for two thousand nineteen and likely beyond, especially Herndon.
Speaker 1: We'll to see what happens with Robbie Anderson's contract and
Speaker 1: enumber of these other guys. But these are young players
Speaker 1: who the chemistry is growing. And Donald is playing really
Speaker 1: well inside the pocket. He's stepping off, he's going through
Speaker 1: his reads. Uh, he's also using his feet at times
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, he continues to be awfully accurate
Speaker 1: on the move, and that is that's a really unique skill.
Speaker 1: I mean, we watched Patrick Mahomes and say he can
Speaker 1: do things like that, but there aren't a lot of
Speaker 1: guys in the league, I think who are as accurate
Speaker 1: as Donald is, either rolling to the left or right
Speaker 1: and he squares his shoulders too. That's that's taking years
Speaker 1: of training and he's really adopted it. I think we've
Speaker 1: seen or we saw flashes in the preseason, well exactly
Speaker 1: what you're talking about, rolling right, rolling left, being accurate
Speaker 1: on the run. Remember him hitting Andre Roberts rolling left
Speaker 1: early in the preseason game and you just kind of
Speaker 1: take a second and said, Okay, well that that was
Speaker 1: really nice. And now you're seeing it come to fruition
Speaker 1: in live game actions when it counts. So I wonder
Speaker 1: what Christa Hearn is ceiling and it's just watching him.
Speaker 1: Over the last couple of games, I think he had
Speaker 1: eighty two yards receiving against the Pack six catches, that
Speaker 1: one handed catch where Donald actually misfired on it, but
Speaker 1: that catch was phenomenal by the way, for him to
Speaker 1: stick his hand out, catch the ball and then absorbed contact.
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was really an impressive catch. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just think that the Jets, I just we just
Speaker 1: got up from the locker room. We're taping the sound Wednesday.
Speaker 1: I just talked to Spencer Long about what's happening here,
Speaker 1: and he's been very impressed with Donald, his growth and
Speaker 1: the steps he's taken. And he said he's always been
Speaker 1: the same. He said that the same kind of personality,
Speaker 1: the tomper nothing's really changed with him. But I also
Speaker 1: asked him about this week in particular, how do you
Speaker 1: guys go approaching this game knowing that New England could
Speaker 1: be the number one seed. We discussed this earlier. We
Speaker 1: didn't know if the Patriots could be the number one seed,
Speaker 1: but in fact they can, yes. And the Jets meanwhile
Speaker 1: on the other side of the coin, and they did,
Speaker 1: they can finish five and eleven, and Spencer said, were
Speaker 1: piste off. We're better right now because over the last
Speaker 1: four games, the Jets have had fourth quarter leads in
Speaker 1: every one of them and they've only been able to
Speaker 1: win the one game when they come and then when
Speaker 1: they came from behind against the Buffalo Bills. But you
Speaker 1: think about Tennessee, they the sixteen nothing lead, that was
Speaker 1: a game they should have won. You think about Houston
Speaker 1: on a Saturday night where Eli McGuire's touched on in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, gave this team a lead after our
Speaker 1: fantastic Donald lad drive, and then last week you gotta
Speaker 1: put on away your advantage in a fourth quarter. That's
Speaker 1: a fifteen point doctor fit. And I don't think the
Speaker 1: referees had a great game either, But I don't think
Speaker 1: any of those guys in the locker room are saying
Speaker 1: we shouldn't have finished. And I think the guys are
Speaker 1: still better, and I would anticipate Green's they're gonna come
Speaker 1: out and play well against Patriots. You mentioned Eli McGuire's
Speaker 1: touchdown run against the Texans. I actually spoke to Calvin
Speaker 1: Beachum earlier today and I asked him about Eli McGuire
Speaker 1: because if you recall, Eli was really forced to the
Speaker 1: top of the depth chart because of two injuries, one
Speaker 1: to Blow Powell and then to Isaiah Crowell, both on
Speaker 1: injured reserve, So that left Eli at the top of
Speaker 1: the depth chart only in a second year. And Calvin
Speaker 1: Beacham said that last year, when Eli was starting to
Speaker 1: get a little more reps and saw him, they they
Speaker 1: thought internally, wow, this guy could be a pretty special
Speaker 1: player and do some good things for us. And he
Speaker 1: was really excited to have Powell Crowell and McGuire all
Speaker 1: there once. Obviously that didn't happen because Balal got hurt
Speaker 1: and then while Eli McGuire was on ire and then
Speaker 1: he got called up and blow went down. So it
Speaker 1: was a little bit of a revolving door at running back.
Speaker 1: But I think it's a matter of time before elib
Speaker 1: breaks one um and maybe it happens Sunday against the Patriots.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be very interested to see how the Patriots
Speaker 1: try to defend the Jets because Bill Belichick over the
Speaker 1: years has been, hey, i'm gonna make you play Leftana,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take away what you do best. Well right now,
Speaker 1: over the last few weeks, offensively, the Jets have been
Speaker 1: doing a lot of things while they've been sticking with
Speaker 1: the Ron sam Donolds has been playing awfully while taking
Speaker 1: those eight four mentioned stuff that we're talking about. But
Speaker 1: I would imagine Robby Anderson is going to see a
Speaker 1: lot of safety coverage over the top and also gonna
Speaker 1: be interested to see it now with Chris hernon continue
Speaker 1: to develop what the Patriots gonna try to do there,
Speaker 1: and especially considering the Jets injuries that wide receiver head
Speaker 1: coach saw Bowl said that Quincy Noon has a slim
Speaker 1: chance to play in week seventeen. And then Jermaine Cursed
Speaker 1: did not practice Wednesday with an achilles injury, and the
Speaker 1: Jets are thin at receiver right now. So we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens on Sunday and who steps up. But did
Speaker 1: you see the Patriots right on the other side of
Speaker 1: the ball. Like I said, the Jets gotta finish and
Speaker 1: then you mean on offense, well, they gotta finish defensively
Speaker 1: what we really think about. So the Patriots, UH did
Speaker 1: not throw the ball very well last week against the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, but they turned around and said, Okay, we're
Speaker 1: gonna pound a football. We'll have to see how they
Speaker 1: come out firing uh this week obviously dealing with some
Speaker 1: issues in their own Josh Gordon taking an extend to
Speaker 1: leave absence. UM. So they're changing on a fly. But
Speaker 1: Patriots will be back in the playoffs again. I don't
Speaker 1: think they're going to the super Bowl. I don't see it.
Speaker 1: I feel like every week, every week you have a
Speaker 1: new zing for the Patriots. That's the thing I would
Speaker 1: tell maybe not a zing, but there's always a little
Speaker 1: little chab at old um. I don't think their past
Speaker 1: game is what has been in the past. He is
Speaker 1: a good quarterback. He cannot defy. H Gregkowski has beaten up.
Speaker 1: How about Week twelve when the Jets and Patriots first played.
Speaker 1: Sam Donald did not play that game. Josh McCown did.
Speaker 1: Sam Donald had gotten hurt a couple of weeks prior
Speaker 1: to that with a strained right foot. But James White
Speaker 1: is really their primary offensive weapon. And James White only
Speaker 1: had one catch against the Jets for five yards in
Speaker 1: Week twelve. So the Jets did a great job against White,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna need to do it again if they
Speaker 1: want to be competitive in this game. Because James White
Speaker 1: leads the Patriots and receptions and yards and he's their
Speaker 1: second running back to Sony Michelle. The rookie had a
Speaker 1: Georgia and he has a total of eleven touchdowns. He's
Speaker 1: really their offensive weapon, utility player, do it all, jack
Speaker 1: of all trades, however you want to phrase it, however
Speaker 1: you want to, whatever you want to call James White,
Speaker 1: that's what he is. For Tony Mitchell one yards so
Speaker 1: far rushing on the season. He's average about four and
Speaker 1: a half a clip um with the big day against
Speaker 1: the Jets. He could have reached the thousand yards as
Speaker 1: rookie season, but like you mentioned, you got James White
Speaker 1: who also he's averaging four point four yards to carry himself.
Speaker 1: They viewed us Patterson as a rusher, as we know
Speaker 1: Edelman is the guy who is um I think you
Speaker 1: with from a yards perspective. He's leading the team. And
Speaker 1: then the second was Josh Gordon. So again they're gonna
Speaker 1: have to make some adjustments here as we uh going
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. And Chris Hogan, I don't know what's
Speaker 1: happened there. He's still averaging sixteen point one yards a reception,
Speaker 1: but he's only got twenty nine receptions this season. That
Speaker 1: jumps out at you and ground missed a few games.
Speaker 1: He's got four receptions this season. No matter how way,
Speaker 1: no matter how we try to describe the Patriots and
Speaker 1: talk about their issues this year compared to last year
Speaker 1: or years before, or what you may know or remember
Speaker 1: from the Patriots are still a very good team and
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to lock up a number one seed.
Speaker 1: And I think that this is gonna be a tough
Speaker 1: matchup for the Jets to be the number one thing. Alright,
Speaker 1: no doubt. Yeah, they're meaning the Chiefs are at home. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs are gonna be the number one
Speaker 1: seed for sure. They have to win and they're the
Speaker 1: one seed, as simple as that. Yes, then Kansas City
Speaker 1: will be the number one seed. Yeah, So what I did?
Speaker 1: I did pick the Raiders to beat the Broncos on
Speaker 1: Monday night. Would you say that? What would you say
Speaker 1: if New England with the two when they want to
Speaker 1: Kansas City the f C Championship game, Well, that'd be
Speaker 1: a tough matchup. Well, when we crossed that bridge the
Speaker 1: Official Jets Podcast, we come to it. Well, but I
Speaker 1: know you're answer, well, I would take Magic Mahomes and
Speaker 1: that at home. Now, if New England gets the one seed,
Speaker 1: that might change everything for me. But I gotta be honestly,
Speaker 1: I think Jets have they got a decent shot and
Speaker 1: winning this game. It would be an upset. But with
Speaker 1: the way Donald's playing right now, again, this is not
Speaker 1: that explosive offense that we've seen in years past. I
Speaker 1: think this is one possession game in the fourth quarter. Again,
Speaker 1: I would enjoy that very much, especially considering the last
Speaker 1: two years the Jets have not bodd They've not fared
Speaker 1: well in Foxboro. Now let me ask you this one.
Speaker 1: Uh So, right now, the Jets are tied for fourteenth
Speaker 1: and sex in the National Football League, with Jordan Jenkins
Speaker 1: and Henry Anderson leading the way with seven apiece. Who
Speaker 1: do you have winning the sack race on the Jets
Speaker 1: this season? I think you. I think it's a tie. Oh,
Speaker 1: you think it's gonna end up a tie. I think
Speaker 1: because the Patriots don't give up too many sacks. I
Speaker 1: think so, yeah, that's what I think. Think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be time. I think the Goose gets in there, gets one.
Speaker 1: That's not a knock on Jordan either, because he's got
Speaker 1: to find season himself. But he's been banged up a
Speaker 1: little bit later, Yeah, with an ankle injury. And if
Speaker 1: you think about the Goose Henry Anderson. That's the other
Speaker 1: trade with the Colts that doesn't really get as much
Speaker 1: publicity as, of course, the Sam Donald trade when the
Speaker 1: Jets traded up from six to three. But then the
Speaker 1: Jets and Colts struck again in the end of the
Speaker 1: draft when the Jets sent the two overall selection for
Speaker 1: what could be their sack leader in two thousand eight.
Speaker 1: This has been and then brand Boy and company. We
Speaker 1: do we give the special teams an awful because Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick said this is the best unit we faced all year.
Speaker 1: Did he said that? She ud that in five storylines
Speaker 1: Jets Patriots in New York just dot com. But what
Speaker 1: I will tell you is that this has been one
Speaker 1: of the best special teams seasons I've ever seen. Andre
Speaker 1: Roberts no yards against the Packers for the touchdown when
Speaker 1: they needed to play late kickoff return all the way
Speaker 1: to the Green Bay Packers thirty Yeah, you thought he
Speaker 1: was gone. You started standing up. It was in your
Speaker 1: first box seat. I was excited. Hey, brand Boy, are
Speaker 1: calling the fake punt? I love that. Well, if you're
Speaker 1: Joe Philbin and the Packers, why are you kicking on
Speaker 1: Roberts again? I wouldn't then't. I guess they were wanted
Speaker 1: to make it fun for Aaron Rodgers, got Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: I give Aaron rodd with a lot of credit, don't you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was he was awesome, He was good. The up
Speaker 1: closing experience was something else. He did show a lot
Speaker 1: of leadership out there. I'll tell you what, because he
Speaker 1: could have packed it in, but he didn't. No pun intended.
Speaker 1: Now he was out there, he was a gamer and
Speaker 1: he Wow, he made a couple of throws out there.
Speaker 1: It was like, oh, yeah, he's a great player, but
Speaker 1: Donald twenty one years old, you look pretty good himself.
Speaker 1: He did. I'm excited to see what how he plays
Speaker 1: Sunday because when he came back from the injury, he
Speaker 1: played against Buffalo on the road. That's been the only
Speaker 1: road game he's played since returning from injury, and he
Speaker 1: didn't throw all over the yard. Yes, the Jets one,
Speaker 1: and he he was clutch when the team needed him
Speaker 1: to be, but he didn't have quite the performance he
Speaker 1: did in Buffalo against then he did against the Texans
Speaker 1: and the Packers. So I'm very interested to see how
Speaker 1: he plays in a hustle environment in Foxboro because he's
Speaker 1: gonna have to get used to playing in fox I
Speaker 1: didn't predict the opposite. I'm just saying I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a one possession game late. I really do,
Speaker 1: um But listen, you gotta look at it from a
Speaker 1: realistic perspective. Patriots have not lost at home this year,
Speaker 1: and the Jets have won one game away from home.
Speaker 1: They should have won that road game in two games
Speaker 1: to they should have three at least because the Tennessee game.
Speaker 1: But you could go what it should have, could have whatever,
Speaker 1: and that I liked what Tod Bol said this week.
Speaker 1: He said that I don't live and you know, maybes
Speaker 1: or kudos or clothes or whatever and things like that,
Speaker 1: and you can't in the National Football League. But they've
Speaker 1: been there. They've been there in the last month of
Speaker 1: the season because you didn't know how this team was
Speaker 1: gonna finish after Buffalo came in here forty one time
Speaker 1: at Montlife Stadium and Matt Barkley and company, and like,
Speaker 1: what's happening here? But you know, they've showed some resiliency
Speaker 1: and some fighting. But the Top Bowls is like listen,
Speaker 1: no moral victories. But I don't know. I just look
Speaker 1: at that the Patriots, they beat the Bills by twelve.
Speaker 1: I think this is the one possession game in the
Speaker 1: fourth and I want I love to see Donald having
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands, you know, down six maybe
Speaker 1: in the game or something like that, to forty on
Speaker 1: the clock for time outs. Do you have a nice holiday?
Speaker 1: It was great. That was convincing, That was really convinced.
Speaker 1: It was great. I'm just thinking about Andre Roberts and
Speaker 1: we're all over the map. Well, how are you gonna
Speaker 1: have a podcast and not discuss these guys making a
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl? We absolutely ca so Andre Roberts and Jason
Speaker 1: Wires in the Pro Bowl. That was big. Yeah you
Speaker 1: were quite happy about that. Yeah, I was because I
Speaker 1: really didn't think I thought the odds were stacked against them,
Speaker 1: even though they both were more than deserving. You cannot
Speaker 1: make the argument that know that a return in the
Speaker 1: National Football you said a better year than Antre Robberts
Speaker 1: because it just would be factually incorrupt. Whereas Myers had
Speaker 1: a few guys who I didn't realize until we saw
Speaker 1: we started looking at the stats. As far as kicking stats,
Speaker 1: there are a few guys in the National Football League
Speaker 1: this season fan pretty good years. And Jason Meyers did
Speaker 1: not practice Wednesday with a left hip injury. Did seven
Speaker 1: guys from New York Jets not practice on Wednesday? It's
Speaker 1: a banged up group right now. Yeah. And Drewmaine Johnson
Speaker 1: did not practice Wednesday, not injury related. He said it
Speaker 1: was something between him and the headman that they talked
Speaker 1: it out. Do you think the headman is Todd Bowles
Speaker 1: or Christopher Johnson. That is definitely top bowls. That's what
Speaker 1: I thought he said. He said he expects the place
Speaker 1: on day though. Yeah, he expects to practice Thursday in
Speaker 1: place Sunday. Yes, Uh so Tremaine Johnson be out there
Speaker 1: on the field. Um, but you wenttioned James White before
Speaker 1: getting back to that as we go, it was we
Speaker 1: pick our spots here and throw darts against the wall. Uh,
Speaker 1: Darrenly was in that game. So no Darrenly this week
Speaker 1: for the Jets. This is the fourth and final game
Speaker 1: I was mentioned, Yes it is. Yes, So I'm very
Speaker 1: interested because I think Neville he has played well in
Speaker 1: Lee's absence, but I don't think he's faced a dynamic
Speaker 1: running back like uh, James White. That's it's really a
Speaker 1: very much so a dual threat out of the backfield.
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller got hurt early against the Jets. So did
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy. Yeah, that's true. Lashawn McCoy Exeter and Aaron Jones.
Speaker 1: And Aaron Jones did not play for the Green Bay Packers,
Speaker 1: so he National Football League Jury league. So the Jets
Speaker 1: saw Jamal Williams last week. So we'll see what what
Speaker 1: to see what happens. Hopefully they keep Sony, Michelle and
Speaker 1: check here this week. And you know Jamal always gets
Speaker 1: up for these opportunities against big Gronk. Oh yeah, this
Speaker 1: is all about respect for thirty three. That right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I wonder if he's gonna say anything more about their
Speaker 1: respect thing, because he made it to the Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: so so clearly the respect is there. He has it.
Speaker 1: But I don't know what's been said on the field
Speaker 1: between those white lines, but I know thirty three gets
Speaker 1: Oh do you think he's going shirtless again? It depends
Speaker 1: how cold it is. If it's like forty, he won't,
Speaker 1: but if it's minus twenty he will. I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's kind of the madness you get. I don't know
Speaker 1: the forecast for Sunday, but you need that Cat will
Speaker 1: be ready to go. So forget about your draft scenarios. Everybody,
Speaker 1: Jamal is coming out there ready and rolling him. I
Speaker 1: can't believe people. I get it from a fan perspective.
Speaker 1: I get it. You always want to be the top
Speaker 1: and everything, so that includes the draft board. But these
Speaker 1: guys want to win, and Justin Herbert's going back to Oregon.
Speaker 1: As we learned Wednesday, the Jets. They have their quarterback.
Speaker 1: They got him from the Pack twelve as well, Yes
Speaker 1: they did. Who's the top quarterback in the draft right now,
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins Ohio State. Do you believe that? Do I
Speaker 1: believe he is the best right out of the group
Speaker 1: right now? Yeah? Sure for sure? No, No, sure, I
Speaker 1: think that changes before the draft. No, because I think
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins is gonna test very well. Do you like
Speaker 1: his out of the pocket skills? I don't think it's
Speaker 1: a good year for if you need a quarterback, let's
Speaker 1: put it that way. Well, a lot of people like
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones at a duke though, Well, he's supposed to
Speaker 1: be the third guy. He learned from one of the master's,
Speaker 1: an old cut cut cliff down there. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: enough draft talk for now, because it's still the regular season.
Speaker 1: The podcast is gonna roll. Well, my point on this
Speaker 1: is that the Jets got their guy, and we're coming
Speaker 1: full circle here. We started this podcast about this is
Speaker 1: not the season the Jets wanted, but you did want
Speaker 1: to see development from a young quarterback and you wanted
Speaker 1: to see signs that this guy was going to be
Speaker 1: your answer. Well, this guy's twenty one years old. The
Speaker 1: team they're playing this week, the New England Patriots, have
Speaker 1: won the last ten consecutive FC East championships. Tom Brady
Speaker 1: is a five time Super Bowl winner. He is I
Speaker 1: believe a four times Super Bowl m v P. He
Speaker 1: is a three time NFL m v P. He could
Speaker 1: be the greatest ever to play the position. But Green's
Speaker 1: he is forty one years old. He talked about this
Speaker 1: week that he plans on plane in two thousand nineteen
Speaker 1: and beyond the beyond, it doesn't go forever. Bro I think,
Speaker 1: I think you need to find Brady's number, and why
Speaker 1: you're you're passionate about it. I just I think that
Speaker 1: there is going to be Aaron Rodgers. Did you read
Speaker 1: what Aaron Rodgers said about Sam Donald after the game.
Speaker 1: He said he thinks this next crop, well, this is
Speaker 1: the next crop of quarterbacks. And he was very complimentary
Speaker 1: of Sam Donald. So that's the second consecutive week where
Speaker 1: guys who are going into the Hall of Fame at
Speaker 1: some point. J. J. Watt and then Aaron Rodgers were
Speaker 1: very complimentary about the twenty one year old quarterback who
Speaker 1: is leading the New York Jets. All right, that's how
Speaker 1: we wrap up the two thousand eighteen regular season of
Speaker 1: the official I don't know why you say it's a
Speaker 1: singer that I am taking shots against the Patriots. I
Speaker 1: think they've been the model organization. They've won five championships.
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, I would not argue against anybody's saying he's
Speaker 1: the greatest player of all time. My point is Green's
Speaker 1: as you stare into my gray hair, is that you
Speaker 1: cannot to five aging. It's not going to It's not
Speaker 1: gonna happen forever. And this offense, it's not as explosive
Speaker 1: as it has been in the past, and the Jets
Speaker 1: have to add a number of pieces in the offseason.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that, but the most important position in
Speaker 1: professional sports is quarterback, and the Jets have a young
Speaker 1: one that they're going to build around. And if you're
Speaker 1: not happy about that, you're crazy. And the other point
Speaker 1: is the season ends on December, and you know what happens.
Speaker 1: There are twelve teams in the National Football You got
Speaker 1: a thirty two who make the postseason. So for twenty teams,
Speaker 1: their seasons are over. So wipe that record off the board.
Speaker 1: Whatever the Jets finished four and twelve or five and eleven.
Speaker 1: It is over for thirty on Sunday, okay, and we
Speaker 1: fast forward on the two thousand nineteen I like it, Okay.
Speaker 1: That's how we closed up shop here in the regular
Speaker 1: season the Official Jets Podcast. We're gonna rolling though throughout
Speaker 1: the off season. We'll have position reviews. I think we're
Speaker 1: gonna do that that we did last year. We'll see, well,
Speaker 1: we got some position reviews, team review that. Of course,
Speaker 1: the draft stuff and everything that you need to know.
Speaker 1: And beyond Sam Donald. You gotta like what you've seen
Speaker 1: from Robbie Anderson. You gotta like what you see from Herndon.
Speaker 1: I like the way the offensive line is really you
Speaker 1: talked about Eli McGuire before, and Jamally Adams is a
Speaker 1: cornerstone piece on defense. You gotta had a couple more
Speaker 1: pieces here and there and things like that. But things
Speaker 1: are starting to look a little bit different, don Verse.
Speaker 1: We'll see in two thousand nine.
