Thanks for downloading the official 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:31.000 Jets podcast? Ethan Greenberg, Eric Allen in studio. He has 0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:34.280 the final game of the regular season. It's coming. It's 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.240 crazy to think about that. Can people rate the podcast? Yeah, 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:39.760 of course, we appreciate a couple of ratings out there. 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:42.040 Little reviews too, would be nice. Yeah, because I know 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:46.239 people are listening all across the nation, maybe around the 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:49.040 globe as well overseas. I'm sure we have a couple 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.520 overseas listeners, no doubt, I would say more than a few. 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:55.600 But so yeah, rate us, tell us what you think, 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:57.240 tell us what you want to hear. Yeah, and the 0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:01.560 off season season goes by quickly, but a long days. Um, 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:03.320 this is not the season in the New York Jets 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:07.240 or the fan base wanted. With that being said, uh, 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:11.440 you have a quarterback that is developing right in front 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:15.440 of your very eyes. Sam Donald's playing awfully while down 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:17.880 the stretch and went toe to toe with Aaron Rodgers 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:22.080 last week, and this was what this season was really 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.520 all about. When you turn the football over to the 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.399 number three overall pick in the two thousand and eighteen draft, 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:32.759 you wanted to see his development and him taking steps, 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:37.200 and that's certainly happening right now. That makes me awfully 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:42.280 excited and optimistic about the off season and what is ahead. Well, 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.119 I think you hit the nail on the head when 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.720 you look back on it really wasn't the year of 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.280 Sam Donald and his growth. And I think it's a 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.320 little bit bitter sweet, only because towards the end of 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:55.400 the year, these past couple of games, since he's returned 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.440 from injury, the offense has really seemed to find a stride. 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.600 And so of course You're mine is gonna wonder as 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.640 wander too. Okay, well, what if he played like that 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.280 a little bit earlier? Could this be a different situation. 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:12.680 But regardless, it's all positive here knowing that Sam Donald 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:14.839 has taken these steps forward. I point back to Week 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:19.239 eight in Chicago when Olivia Landis caught up with Tony 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.560 Romo and he not that he called it, but he 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:26.519 he said, as most players do in their first to 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.760 second years, improved, But he said, you know, maybe he'll 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:30.760 see him take off towards the end of two thousand 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.799 and eighteen. And I think Sunday against the Packers was 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:35.800 a prime example of that. He had a career high 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:41.000 three forty one yards three touchdowns on rating. I mean, 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.880 he was really phenomenal Sunday. He's been very efficient with 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:48.520 the football, didn't turn it over. Like you mentioned, the 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.760 Jets are extending drives. They didn't have the third down 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.280 success Sunday against the Packers, but put up a lot 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:59.320 of points. And you're seeing the continued development of Robby 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:03.720 Anderson and Chris Herndon, and those guys are gonna be around, 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:08.960 saying Donald for two thousand nineteen and likely beyond, especially Herndon. 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.519 We'll to see what happens with Robbie Anderson's contract and 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.359 enumber of these other guys. But these are young players 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:19.400 who the chemistry is growing. And Donald is playing really 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:22.679 well inside the pocket. He's stepping off, he's going through 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:26.000 his reads. Uh, he's also using his feet at times 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.280 and uh, you know, he continues to be awfully accurate 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:35.040 on the move, and that is that's a really unique skill. 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.720 I mean, we watched Patrick Mahomes and say he can 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:39.560 do things like that, but there aren't a lot of 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.720 guys in the league, I think who are as accurate 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.640 as Donald is, either rolling to the left or right 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:49.840 and he squares his shoulders too. That's that's taking years 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.920 of training and he's really adopted it. I think we've 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.400 seen or we saw flashes in the preseason, well exactly 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.080 what you're talking about, rolling right, rolling left, being accurate 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.320 on the run. Remember him hitting Andre Roberts rolling left 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.640 early in the preseason game and you just kind of 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.200 take a second and said, Okay, well that that was 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.280 really nice. And now you're seeing it come to fruition 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.720 in live game actions when it counts. So I wonder 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.600 what Christa Hearn is ceiling and it's just watching him. 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.800 Over the last couple of games, I think he had 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:24.480 eighty two yards receiving against the Pack six catches, that 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.920 one handed catch where Donald actually misfired on it, but 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.159 that catch was phenomenal by the way, for him to 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:35.120 stick his hand out, catch the ball and then absorbed contact. 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.760 I mean it was it was really an impressive catch. Yeah. Yeah, 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.039 I just think that the Jets, I just we just 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.480 got up from the locker room. We're taping the sound Wednesday. 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:48.560 I just talked to Spencer Long about what's happening here, 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:53.480 and he's been very impressed with Donald, his growth and 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.200 the steps he's taken. And he said he's always been 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.880 the same. He said that the same kind of personality, 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.760 the tomper nothing's really changed with him. But I also 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.800 asked him about this week in particular, how do you 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:09.400 guys go approaching this game knowing that New England could 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.440 be the number one seed. We discussed this earlier. We 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.400 didn't know if the Patriots could be the number one seed, 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:19.159 but in fact they can, yes. And the Jets meanwhile 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.200 on the other side of the coin, and they did, 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:25.480 they can finish five and eleven, and Spencer said, were 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.120 piste off. We're better right now because over the last 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:32.279 four games, the Jets have had fourth quarter leads in 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.560 every one of them and they've only been able to 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.000 win the one game when they come and then when 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.719 they came from behind against the Buffalo Bills. But you 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.680 think about Tennessee, they the sixteen nothing lead, that was 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.600 a game they should have won. You think about Houston 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.680 on a Saturday night where Eli McGuire's touched on in 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:50.760 the fourth quarter, gave this team a lead after our 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.960 fantastic Donald lad drive, and then last week you gotta 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.320 put on away your advantage in a fourth quarter. That's 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.880 a fifteen point doctor fit. And I don't think the 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.400 referees had a great game either, But I don't think 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.359 any of those guys in the locker room are saying 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.720 we shouldn't have finished. And I think the guys are 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.720 still better, and I would anticipate Green's they're gonna come 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:15.919 out and play well against Patriots. You mentioned Eli McGuire's 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.680 touchdown run against the Texans. I actually spoke to Calvin 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.520 Beachum earlier today and I asked him about Eli McGuire 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:25.360 because if you recall, Eli was really forced to the 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.720 top of the depth chart because of two injuries, one 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:31.200 to Blow Powell and then to Isaiah Crowell, both on 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.719 injured reserve, So that left Eli at the top of 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:38.280 the depth chart only in a second year. And Calvin 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:42.240 Beacham said that last year, when Eli was starting to 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.440 get a little more reps and saw him, they they 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.919 thought internally, wow, this guy could be a pretty special 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.000 player and do some good things for us. And he 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:54.680 was really excited to have Powell Crowell and McGuire all 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:58.200 there once. Obviously that didn't happen because Balal got hurt 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.440 and then while Eli McGuire was on ire and then 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.440 he got called up and blow went down. So it 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.440 was a little bit of a revolving door at running back. 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.719 But I think it's a matter of time before elib 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:12.280 breaks one um and maybe it happens Sunday against the Patriots. 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.280 I'm gonna be very interested to see how the Patriots 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:20.280 try to defend the Jets because Bill Belichick over the 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.960 years has been, hey, i'm gonna make you play Leftana, 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.760 I'm gonna take away what you do best. Well right now, 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.080 over the last few weeks, offensively, the Jets have been 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:29.880 doing a lot of things while they've been sticking with 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:34.640 the Ron sam Donolds has been playing awfully while taking 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.080 those eight four mentioned stuff that we're talking about. But 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.120 I would imagine Robby Anderson is going to see a 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:44.600 lot of safety coverage over the top and also gonna 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.360 be interested to see it now with Chris hernon continue 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.320 to develop what the Patriots gonna try to do there, 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:54.120 and especially considering the Jets injuries that wide receiver head 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.840 coach saw Bowl said that Quincy Noon has a slim 0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.320 chance to play in week seventeen. And then Jermaine Cursed 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:04.320 did not practice Wednesday with an achilles injury, and the 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.640 Jets are thin at receiver right now. So we'll see 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:10.000 what happens on Sunday and who steps up. But did 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:11.760 you see the Patriots right on the other side of 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.800 the ball. Like I said, the Jets gotta finish and 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:19.040 then you mean on offense, well, they gotta finish defensively 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:23.240 what we really think about. So the Patriots, UH did 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.760 not throw the ball very well last week against the 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.480 Buffalo Bills, but they turned around and said, Okay, we're 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.920 gonna pound a football. We'll have to see how they 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.000 come out firing uh this week obviously dealing with some 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:37.360 issues in their own Josh Gordon taking an extend to 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:41.280 leave absence. UM. So they're changing on a fly. But 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.520 Patriots will be back in the playoffs again. I don't 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.200 think they're going to the super Bowl. I don't see it. 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.880 I feel like every week, every week you have a 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:53.240 new zing for the Patriots. That's the thing I would 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.160 tell maybe not a zing, but there's always a little 0:08:56.280 --> 0:09:01.840 little chab at old um. I don't think their past 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.920 game is what has been in the past. He is 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:11.319 a good quarterback. He cannot defy. H Gregkowski has beaten up. 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.000 How about Week twelve when the Jets and Patriots first played. 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.920 Sam Donald did not play that game. Josh McCown did. 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.920 Sam Donald had gotten hurt a couple of weeks prior 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:25.120 to that with a strained right foot. But James White 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:30.920 is really their primary offensive weapon. And James White only 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:34.599 had one catch against the Jets for five yards in 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.440 Week twelve. So the Jets did a great job against White, 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:39.040 and they're gonna need to do it again if they 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.360 want to be competitive in this game. Because James White 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:45.360 leads the Patriots and receptions and yards and he's their 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.360 second running back to Sony Michelle. The rookie had a 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:51.280 Georgia and he has a total of eleven touchdowns. He's 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:56.280 really their offensive weapon, utility player, do it all, jack 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.320 of all trades, however you want to phrase it, however 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.360 you want to, whatever you want to call James White, 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:04.800 that's what he is. For Tony Mitchell one yards so 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.199 far rushing on the season. He's average about four and 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.280 a half a clip um with the big day against 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.839 the Jets. He could have reached the thousand yards as 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:16.520 rookie season, but like you mentioned, you got James White 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:20.719 who also he's averaging four point four yards to carry himself. 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:24.120 They viewed us Patterson as a rusher, as we know 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:30.240 Edelman is the guy who is um I think you 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:34.640 with from a yards perspective. He's leading the team. And 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.960 then the second was Josh Gordon. So again they're gonna 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:42.000 have to make some adjustments here as we uh going 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.280 to the playoffs. And Chris Hogan, I don't know what's 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.520 happened there. He's still averaging sixteen point one yards a reception, 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:53.440 but he's only got twenty nine receptions this season. That 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.480 jumps out at you and ground missed a few games. 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.839 He's got four receptions this season. No matter how way, 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:04.000 no matter how we try to describe the Patriots and 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.920 talk about their issues this year compared to last year 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:10.040 or years before, or what you may know or remember 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.800 from the Patriots are still a very good team and 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:14.960 have an opportunity to lock up a number one seed. 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.800 And I think that this is gonna be a tough 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.679 matchup for the Jets to be the number one thing. Alright, 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:26.720 no doubt. Yeah, they're meaning the Chiefs are at home. Yeah, 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.200 I think the Chiefs are gonna be the number one 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.280 seed for sure. They have to win and they're the 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.960 one seed, as simple as that. Yes, then Kansas City 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:37.080 will be the number one seed. Yeah, So what I did? 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.120 I did pick the Raiders to beat the Broncos on 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:44.080 Monday night. Would you say that? What would you say 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.199 if New England with the two when they want to 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:50.600 Kansas City the f C Championship game, Well, that'd be 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:56.800 a tough matchup. Well, when we crossed that bridge the 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.520 Official Jets Podcast, we come to it. Well, but I 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:03.040 know you're answer, well, I would take Magic Mahomes and 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:07.160 that at home. Now, if New England gets the one seed, 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:10.560 that might change everything for me. But I gotta be honestly, 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.079 I think Jets have they got a decent shot and 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:16.720 winning this game. It would be an upset. But with 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:20.240 the way Donald's playing right now, again, this is not 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.800 that explosive offense that we've seen in years past. I 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.160 think this is one possession game in the fourth quarter. Again, 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:29.160 I would enjoy that very much, especially considering the last 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:33.560 two years the Jets have not bodd They've not fared 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.320 well in Foxboro. Now let me ask you this one. 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.640 Uh So, right now, the Jets are tied for fourteenth 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.320 and sex in the National Football League, with Jordan Jenkins 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.679 and Henry Anderson leading the way with seven apiece. Who 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.640 do you have winning the sack race on the Jets 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:53.920 this season? I think you. I think it's a tie. Oh, 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:55.560 you think it's gonna end up a tie. I think 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.880 because the Patriots don't give up too many sacks. I 0:12:57.920 --> 0:12:59.960 think so, yeah, that's what I think. Think it's gonna 0:12:59.960 --> 0:13:02.199 be time. I think the Goose gets in there, gets one. 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:04.920 That's not a knock on Jordan either, because he's got 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.679 to find season himself. But he's been banged up a 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:09.880 little bit later, Yeah, with an ankle injury. And if 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:13.280 you think about the Goose Henry Anderson. That's the other 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.319 trade with the Colts that doesn't really get as much 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.560 publicity as, of course, the Sam Donald trade when the 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.120 Jets traded up from six to three. But then the 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:24.440 Jets and Colts struck again in the end of the 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:28.360 draft when the Jets sent the two overall selection for 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.360 what could be their sack leader in two thousand eight. 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.679 This has been and then brand Boy and company. We 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:38.280 do we give the special teams an awful because Bill 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.520 Belichick said this is the best unit we faced all year. 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:42.760 Did he said that? She ud that in five storylines 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.400 Jets Patriots in New York just dot com. But what 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.679 I will tell you is that this has been one 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:52.000 of the best special teams seasons I've ever seen. Andre 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:56.000 Roberts no yards against the Packers for the touchdown when 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.679 they needed to play late kickoff return all the way 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.040 to the Green Bay Packers thirty Yeah, you thought he 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.200 was gone. You started standing up. It was in your 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.679 first box seat. I was excited. Hey, brand Boy, are 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:10.120 calling the fake punt? I love that. Well, if you're 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.199 Joe Philbin and the Packers, why are you kicking on 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:16.280 Roberts again? I wouldn't then't. I guess they were wanted 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.640 to make it fun for Aaron Rodgers, got Aaron Rodgers. 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.280 I give Aaron rodd with a lot of credit, don't you. Yeah, 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.880 he was he was awesome, He was good. The up 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.160 closing experience was something else. He did show a lot 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.320 of leadership out there. I'll tell you what, because he 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.720 could have packed it in, but he didn't. No pun intended. 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:35.480 Now he was out there, he was a gamer and 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.640 he Wow, he made a couple of throws out there. 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.880 It was like, oh, yeah, he's a great player, but 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:44.400 Donald twenty one years old, you look pretty good himself. 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.560 He did. I'm excited to see what how he plays 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.120 Sunday because when he came back from the injury, he 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.040 played against Buffalo on the road. That's been the only 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.360 road game he's played since returning from injury, and he 0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.720 didn't throw all over the yard. Yes, the Jets one, 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:01.800 and he he was clutch when the team needed him 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:05.080 to be, but he didn't have quite the performance he 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:09.600 did in Buffalo against then he did against the Texans 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.160 and the Packers. So I'm very interested to see how 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:16.400 he plays in a hustle environment in Foxboro because he's 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.040 gonna have to get used to playing in fox I 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.080 didn't predict the opposite. I'm just saying I think it's 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.400 gonna be a one possession game late. I really do, 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:29.000 um But listen, you gotta look at it from a 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:33.200 realistic perspective. Patriots have not lost at home this year, 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:37.600 and the Jets have won one game away from home. 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.680 They should have won that road game in two games 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:46.200 to they should have three at least because the Tennessee game. 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:48.640 But you could go what it should have, could have whatever, 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:50.800 and that I liked what Tod Bol said this week. 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.440 He said that I don't live and you know, maybes 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.160 or kudos or clothes or whatever and things like that, 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.760 and you can't in the National Football League. But they've 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:02.760 been there. They've been there in the last month of 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:04.480 the season because you didn't know how this team was 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.960 gonna finish after Buffalo came in here forty one time 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.840 at Montlife Stadium and Matt Barkley and company, and like, 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:14.840 what's happening here? But you know, they've showed some resiliency 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:18.320 and some fighting. But the Top Bowls is like listen, 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.360 no moral victories. But I don't know. I just look 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.720 at that the Patriots, they beat the Bills by twelve. 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:25.480 I think this is the one possession game in the 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.720 fourth and I want I love to see Donald having 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:33.120 the ball in his hands, you know, down six maybe 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:36.160 in the game or something like that, to forty on 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:41.240 the clock for time outs. Do you have a nice holiday? 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:45.640 It was great. That was convincing, That was really convinced. 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:49.080 It was great. I'm just thinking about Andre Roberts and 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:53.080 we're all over the map. Well, how are you gonna 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:55.240 have a podcast and not discuss these guys making a 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:59.560 Pro Bowl? We absolutely ca so Andre Roberts and Jason 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.600 Wires in the Pro Bowl. That was big. Yeah you 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.639 were quite happy about that. Yeah, I was because I 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:08.960 really didn't think I thought the odds were stacked against them, 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:12.439 even though they both were more than deserving. You cannot 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.280 make the argument that know that a return in the 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:17.959 National Football you said a better year than Antre Robberts 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:22.840 because it just would be factually incorrupt. Whereas Myers had 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.680 a few guys who I didn't realize until we saw 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.840 we started looking at the stats. As far as kicking stats, 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:30.680 there are a few guys in the National Football League 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:34.000 this season fan pretty good years. And Jason Meyers did 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.639 not practice Wednesday with a left hip injury. Did seven 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.880 guys from New York Jets not practice on Wednesday? It's 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.720 a banged up group right now. Yeah. And Drewmaine Johnson 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.840 did not practice Wednesday, not injury related. He said it 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:49.200 was something between him and the headman that they talked 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.240 it out. Do you think the headman is Todd Bowles 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:55.520 or Christopher Johnson. That is definitely top bowls. That's what 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:57.640 I thought he said. He said he expects the place 0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.720 on day though. Yeah, he expects to practice Thursday in 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.040 place Sunday. Yes, Uh so Tremaine Johnson be out there 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:06.760 on the field. Um, but you wenttioned James White before 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.720 getting back to that as we go, it was we 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:14.120 pick our spots here and throw darts against the wall. Uh, 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:17.960 Darrenly was in that game. So no Darrenly this week 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.800 for the Jets. This is the fourth and final game 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:25.720 I was mentioned, Yes it is. Yes, So I'm very 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.240 interested because I think Neville he has played well in 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:32.000 Lee's absence, but I don't think he's faced a dynamic 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:37.280 running back like uh, James White. That's it's really a 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:39.440 very much so a dual threat out of the backfield. 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.439 Lamar Miller got hurt early against the Jets. So did 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:46.919 Lashawn McCoy. Yeah, that's true. Lashawn McCoy Exeter and Aaron Jones. 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.440 And Aaron Jones did not play for the Green Bay Packers, 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:54.440 so he National Football League Jury league. So the Jets 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:58.560 saw Jamal Williams last week. So we'll see what what 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:03.280 to see what happens. Hopefully they keep Sony, Michelle and 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.480 check here this week. And you know Jamal always gets 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:11.040 up for these opportunities against big Gronk. Oh yeah, this 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.720 is all about respect for thirty three. That right. Yeah. 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:16.919 I wonder if he's gonna say anything more about their 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:20.200 respect thing, because he made it to the Pro Bowl 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:25.080 so so clearly the respect is there. He has it. 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:27.160 But I don't know what's been said on the field 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:30.600 between those white lines, but I know thirty three gets 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:35.000 Oh do you think he's going shirtless again? It depends 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:37.119 how cold it is. If it's like forty, he won't, 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:41.080 but if it's minus twenty he will. I don't know. 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:43.560 That's kind of the madness you get. I don't know 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:46.320 the forecast for Sunday, but you need that Cat will 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:50.920 be ready to go. So forget about your draft scenarios. Everybody, 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:54.879 Jamal is coming out there ready and rolling him. I 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:58.240 can't believe people. I get it from a fan perspective. 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:00.119 I get it. You always want to be the top 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:03.160 and everything, so that includes the draft board. But these 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:06.240 guys want to win, and Justin Herbert's going back to Oregon. 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:08.880 As we learned Wednesday, the Jets. They have their quarterback. 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:11.440 They got him from the Pack twelve as well, Yes 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:14.640 they did. Who's the top quarterback in the draft right now, 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:17.879 Dwayne Haskins Ohio State. Do you believe that? Do I 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:21.160 believe he is the best right out of the group 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:25.280 right now? Yeah? Sure for sure? No, No, sure, I 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:27.840 think that changes before the draft. No, because I think 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:30.960 Dwayne Haskins is gonna test very well. Do you like 0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:34.920 his out of the pocket skills? I don't think it's 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:36.760 a good year for if you need a quarterback, let's 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:40.000 put it that way. Well, a lot of people like 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.639 Daniel Jones at a duke though, Well, he's supposed to 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:45.800 be the third guy. He learned from one of the master's, 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:51.320 an old cut cut cliff down there. Yeah, this is 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:53.919 enough draft talk for now, because it's still the regular season. 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.120 The podcast is gonna roll. Well, my point on this 0:20:56.320 --> 0:21:00.840 is that the Jets got their guy, and we're coming 0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:04.199 full circle here. We started this podcast about this is 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:06.720 not the season the Jets wanted, but you did want 0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:10.639 to see development from a young quarterback and you wanted 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:12.800 to see signs that this guy was going to be 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:16.719 your answer. Well, this guy's twenty one years old. The 0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:19.840 team they're playing this week, the New England Patriots, have 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:25.520 won the last ten consecutive FC East championships. Tom Brady 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:31.120 is a five time Super Bowl winner. He is I 0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:35.439 believe a four times Super Bowl m v P. He 0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:39.280 is a three time NFL m v P. He could 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:42.560 be the greatest ever to play the position. But Green's 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:46.560 he is forty one years old. He talked about this 0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:50.000 week that he plans on plane in two thousand nineteen 0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:56.040 and beyond the beyond, it doesn't go forever. Bro I think, 0:21:56.160 --> 0:22:00.320 I think you need to find Brady's number, and why 0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:04.080 you're you're passionate about it. I just I think that 0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:08.680 there is going to be Aaron Rodgers. Did you read 0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:11.880 what Aaron Rodgers said about Sam Donald after the game. 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:14.919
