Here for the third 0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:19.040 episode of the podcast. Let's reintroduce our reporters again.

I was gonna say, everyone 0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:37.839 knows you. You know, he's been on the team for 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:42.080 sixteen years. Big college football fan. I love college football, 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:44.440 love college football. I heard you are at the Syracuse 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.960 game over the weekend. What happened to the Orange? You're 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:52.000 both the orange Syracuse product. The Orange crushed. We should 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:56.000 say yeah for for This is gonna be an awful analogy, 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:59.080 but the juice was squeezed. What was the final score? 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:02.280 Who did you play? Forty five to twenty USF over Syracuse. 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:04.440 Syracuse was up seventeen and nothing at the end of 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:10.400 the first quarter seventeen seventeen by the half, So Syracuse 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.760 kind of kind of felt disappointed. You know. I grew 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:16.679 up in Buffalo, about two and a half hour drive 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:22.160 from Syracuse. About I went to a couple Actually I 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.440 saw Syracuse when they were nationally ranked back in the day. 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.399 Their college hoops team, what a program. Jim Beheim has 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:32.959 their own play Yukon. And actually we got caught on 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:36.600 a way coming home in a snowstorm because we're coming 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.400 back to Buffalo. I was at Canisius College my freshman 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:43.200 year before I transferred to Maryland undergraduate days. This might 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.120 have been before both of you were born. Find you. 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:50.720 But yes, I saw Syracuse play Yukon at the Dome. 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.720 And you know, when the dome is so packed, they 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:58.520 put those curtains up. I guess I had obstructed view. 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.720 I was at the top of the don't so funny. 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:04.720 I have to mention this just because I think it's 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:08.400 funny and my dad thinks it's hilarious. Carrier, it's the carrier. 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:10.880 Don't carriers an air conditioning company. There's no air conditioning 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.239 in the carrier. Cell phones, you don't need air conditioning 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.959 than the don't know it's so dam of cold outside. Yeah. 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:20.880 Well let's clarify something here too. Snows more Syracuse is 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:25.200 the snowiest city in the snows more Syracuse than Buffalo. Yeah. 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:29.600 I walked around campus sometimes and the snow piles were 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.000 they were probably bigger than you price. You've got the 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:37.280 class knowing you. I figured the cheapest sleep. Oh my god, 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:42.160 I was an eight four point student, Erica. I took 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.560 school away to I don't want to use that to 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:50.720 truth to truths and a live The dam would be 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:54.560 to walk in the snow. Okay. So now now that 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.520 we're that, we know a little bit about each other 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.280 a little more. We just know something about Alex. All 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.880 we know I do. I'll give you it's all about me. 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.840 So I was gonna sell you alright, where did that 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.520 come from? So? By the way, I'm Irish and my 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.200 dad has a little German in them. But you're Irish. 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:15.120 I can't tell with your pink skins. My my father 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:20.520 his his um mother was a McGrady, and then on 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.600 my mom's side we were the Cochlin's in the Gearys. 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:27.120 So I'm very Irish. So if anybody wanted to know, 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.480 or we're just announcing the Italians are We're gonna go 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.400 down to Mulberry Street and some lunch. What we're gonna 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.440 do it. What we're gonna do is, we're gonna have 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.760 another ice breaker instead of two truths and a lie 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:42.040 slash dare, We're gonna have your personal Hall of Fame 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.000 sports moment in your own playing career. What sticks out 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.360 in your mind? Who wants to bat lead off? Because 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.920 that's what I do. I go, you know, first at everything, 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:55.839 first in line. That's the Italian right there. So I mean, 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.480 there's so many to choose from. To be honest, Oh 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:06.240 my god, this ridiculous. I'm gonna go ice hockey because 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.400 I know, yeah, he's gonna go ice hockey. I know it. 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:09.920 But I'm gonna go ice hockey. When I was on 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.160 the All Boys team, travel ice hockey team, Midget League 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:17.840 Mayby sing Country Club UM in New Jersey, and I 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:21.560 was named offensive m v P of the Year, But 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:23.840 there's not like a moment where you're like I diked 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.160 some guy that that was my moment sticking in to 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.560 all the boys and like that. I mean, that was 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.280 a pretty powerful moment for me. Female power baby, So 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.159 I love tons of m v P. I will never 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:39.960 forget walking up and getting my midgets right before bandom. 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.840 That was like talking hockey talk. You don't get it. Whoa, whoa, whoa. 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.840 I played ice hockey too. You did you play? Did 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:52.080 you figure? I stopped in high school because we didn't 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.160 have a team. I'm sorry about that. That's all right. 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:58.560 I played baseball and said we'll get there in a minute. Okay, yeah, yeah, 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:02.840 you're up next. Oh spent so many your freshman year. 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:08.039 Just very recently, folks, we play street hockey here with 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:11.000 the Jets. Wait, I want to play different and we 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.960 change our team name after we want a couple of championships. 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:18.200 But last year I tore my biceps tendon and I 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:22.120 continued to play scored two goals during that game. Then wait, 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.320 why did you tear your biceps? What were you what 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.800 were you lifting too much weight? Well, I don't know. 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.200 It was over time, it was overtime. Then it's just separated. 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.919 And but during the street hockey game, I felt the 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:37.480 terror even more pronounced and that's pretty painful. But I 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.280 went on to score two goals. But who cares about 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.120 street hockey? For those of you that don't know at home, 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:45.640 he's biceps are like that. That's just fun biceps. Yea. 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:51.799 In college, you go back to the University of Maryland. 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:53.880 I will never forget a weekend my parents were in town. 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.960 They didn't get a chance to see all my college games. 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.120 They's opposed to high school and travel. I played for 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.080 the Hamburg Hawks to year two. We didn't have a 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.600 Tier one team. Usually it's broken up to Tier three 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.640 and a Tier two. I played for the Hamburg Clocks. 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.479 I played in some state tournaments. Um. One of the 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:13.320 state tournaments, actually we played the number one seed from Rome, 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:19.440 New York, New York Exit and I made about forty fives. 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:24.000 We ended up losing the game, but it's um that 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:28.040 was one of my better performances probably ever in that 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.200 that came during the state tournament. Also, when I tried 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:34.960 out at Kenisius Division one program, I didn't end up playing. 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.280 I ended up playing JV for them my freshman year 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.040 because I wasn't recruited. A lot of kids came over 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.560 from Canada. I came out of high school maybe a 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:46.640 hundred fifty five pounds, okay, and it got involved in 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.320 the strength and training program there and we're doing a 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:53.320 lot of stuff dry Land. But then on the ice 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:58.360 we had a tryout and I really had an unbelievable 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:02.680 just a practice day for one moment, we're getting every moment. 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:10.160 Let's go back Lesli school. No, no, we have to 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.400 cut him. Let's go back to high school. I was 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.960 a defensive stopper playing JV basketball. Score he's reliving his 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.640 glory away for a minute. Score twenty points. I think 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.680 just off as steals alone. They used to call me 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:26.400 Marcus on the team because we had to Marcus. We 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.760 had too Erics. There was a guy by the name 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:34.120 Marcus Allen. Alex probably doesn't remember, so to change it 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.560 up and not calls both Eric Marcus. Okay, no doubt, 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.280 say it enough for you. I think we haven't. I 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.280 got my old wing at the whole offair. We're good. 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:48.480 I think we're set. I think, uh, I really don't 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.080 know how to follow up with that, but I'll give 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.080 it a shot. So I said before that I played 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.320 hockey when I was little, and then didn't I transition 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.800 to baseball. Uh my act, my Hall of Fame moment 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.680 actually comes in in tramural softball because there was no 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:06.640 baseball at Syracuse, so we were playing championship game. I 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.000 was a two to I was a gold glove center 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.840 fielder in high school. But they we we had, we 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.160 had a lot of outfield talent. So I was moved 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:18.080 to second base for the championship game. And it was 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.240 an eight to seven game, bottom seven because we only 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.920 played seven innings. Two outs, lefty up at the plate. 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:28.800 I'm at second base the gut and it's underhand pitch. Right, 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:33.240 it's underhand pitch, and the guy swings and completely flies 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.000 out of his stance. So what do I do. I 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:36.480 take a step to my left, thinking he's going to 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.520 try to absolutely crush this ball and pull it next pitch. 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:44.319 Sure enough, he's he crushes it. Myself, being the athlete 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:47.440 that I am, make a diving play in the air, 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:52.320 catch the ball in the air. It was really dramatic. 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.680 I get up, I get up, I get up, and 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.280 I'm dog piled because it's eight to seven. Basses juiced, 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:01.240 and I saved the day and it was fantastic. Faces 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:07.600 were loaded seven, had had the ball squeaked by, would 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:10.360 have lost. So you know, since I had my own 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.400 Hall of Fame wing, I do have to say that 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.920 there were so many great sports moments. I love it 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.640 when my nieces and nephews are involved in sports because 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:24.240 you get the values of teamwork, you know, competitive play 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.640 and also work ethics starts at a young age. Sports 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:33.079 you know, they don't necessarily define yet, but I'll tell 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.439 you what you think. Find out a lot about somebody's 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.000 personally think the way they play sports. Like this one 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.280 over here, Alex says, Oh, we're gonna play softball. I 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:44.079 have to bat lead off whatever. We're going to Buffalo. 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:47.320 We're going to buff We're going to Buff's go to Buffalo. 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:49.720 Did you enjoy your trip home to Buffalo? Did you 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.000 see any family? Certainly did. When you win a ball 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.480 game and you work for an organization and you know 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.960 you're facing either going on two or one and one, 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.520 get coming up with a win on the road, yeah, 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.880 did you The last time? You have to understand, the 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:08.680 last time I left Buffalo in a working sense was 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.720 in January when the Jets were ten and five entering 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.200 that ball game with the playoffs on the line, and 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:19.439 the Bills sent them home packet. So listen, this is 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.880 a nice win. I love the prolific offensive performance. Uh, 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:26.439 Saturday night, you're gonna asked me. Well, Saturday Wednesday night, 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:28.920 I got a chance to see some of my cousins. 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:32.440 I want to seven one six, that very close to 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.240 the hotel we were staying downtown when the seven one 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:38.200 six and as good as advertised. It was solid. You know, 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.160 our food, but our food had a couple of adult beverages. 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.320 And then downstairs that night you drink some I p 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:48.199 a there might have, but again that's going to stay 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:52.880 between me and the folks at seven six now downstairs 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.840 Actually that night, Ethan, they were honoring Bruce Smith who 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.800 they retired his number at halftime of the ball game. 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:01.800 So I didn't even know that they had a red 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.520 carpet opening. Uh at seven one six. They told us 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:07.679 to go around and go up to the second floor. 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:12.720 And did you enjoy your buffalo stay there? Um? No, 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.800 not really except for the game, it was great. I 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:18.640 was going to say, other than that, I was pretty bored. 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:25.000 What is that? Just says something about your personality? Well, 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:28.440 I'm not well, Jason and I are producer Jason Levine. 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.600 We went out to a nice lunch. We were talking about, 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:34.719 you know, a work lunch. Um. I was actually very 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.199 improdly told Eric, I was very impressed with the Italian food. 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.640 I was. I was walking in think everything's going to 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.960 be horrible, but it was very good. All Italian Italian 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.480 was just quiet. I was. It was quiet, the hotel was. 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:50.760 I was bored, and the game was what what do 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:52.839 you have done if you were in a metropolis, if 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:54.800 it was Chicago, I don't know. I have done a 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.599 little sight seeing or something. I don't know. It was 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.880 a beautiful day, Ethan. It was a beautiful day, and 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.640 the canal side. You probably didn't even get a chance 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:07.560 because you're not adventurous to walk down the water. I want. 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:09.640 I want to. I was like a talk at all, Right, 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.200 this is we we get it. You guys can go 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.720 back and forth on Buffalo all day. No, that's fine. Yeah, 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.920 well I WoT you have launched with Jason Levine. What 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.360 what would Jason Levine say about Buffalo if he was 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.960 in here right now? Exactly exactly you're saying that she 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:29.080 skewed her her mindset is No, I would expect nothing 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.600 other than what she just said, because Alex I wasn't 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:34.640 talking smack on Buffalo. I was just saying it was 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:36.800 a little bored on the line in the sand. Your 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:41.240 people know you got it. We're fat, were fast board minded. 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.040 That might happen to you down the line. You do 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:48.680 some do not respond? Okay, Alex, Now we're fast boarding 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.200 to the game. Your your favorite part. What's your biggest 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:54.959 takeaway from the Jets win in Buffalo? Um? My biggest 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.840 takeaway are offensive? Yeah, I just said it. Our offensive 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:04.400 performance was prolific. Um Quincy and Noona continued to show 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.480 that he's just getting better and better every every day 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.959 as a wide receiver and a in a really great 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:15.000 third option for Ryan Fitzpatrick. What did Ryan Fitzpatrick have? What? 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.920 Seven plays Ethan over twenty yards? Seven over twenty and 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.720 the eighth was a penalty. Yeah. I mean there's lots 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:25.640 of good things. Marcus Williams two interceptions in two games, 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:31.440 Quincy had ninety two yards receiving, that's a career high, 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:32.959 and then the game before that he had a career 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:36.000 high and catches am I right. So it was it 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.640 was impressive and it was a huge, huge win, you know, 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:45.959 for for the guys. They needed that and dision Rivalandon 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:49.360 Marshall went down with that apparent knee injury. My heart. 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.079 I was in the press box with Ethan and he 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.640 was there as well. But I looked at Ethan you 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.440 literally I thought I saw go. It was my heart sank. 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:02.600 Well he came back, God and he finished. It was 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:06.240 a very successful Hey, what is your biggest takeaway? I 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:08.719 think sometimes this league you're gonna take a punch. And 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.920 the Jets came out and they landed early and off, 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.640 and they scored on their first four offensive possessions. They 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:18.360 took a seven lead, the Bills got a late field 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.120 goal before the half and it was ten. Then in 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:25.240 a matter of moments, the Jets found themselves trailing at 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:29.520 to twenty. I think that was an early season test 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.520 right there, because they could have easily felt and felt 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:36.080 sorry for themselves in a game they had pretty much dominated, 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:40.400 especially up front in the trenches. But instead they came 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.640 back with a seventeen point run of their own. And 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.920 the offensive balance is very impressive on this team. Alex 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.440 mentioned Quincy and Noma, and we talked about Brahandon Marshall 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:56.160 and Eric Ducker, Matt Forte. He continues to prove his 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.720 worth here early. I'm not worried about the distribution either. 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.160 He's not gonna get thirty carries every game. I love 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:06.280 people playing these fantasy stats saying thirty times sixteen and 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.280 how many carries is this guy gonna have. That's not 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:12.200 gonna happen. It's gonna change each and every week. But 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:15.680 he keeps coming after you. And defensively, even though the 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:19.080 Jets gave up some big plays again in the secondary 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:23.880 timely plays down the stretch when they needed to make 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:27.480 on Marcus Williams interception on fourth and on third and one, 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:31.200 and then Sheldon Richardson and Darrenly combining for the fourth 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.440 one stop, fourth and one stop. Sheety McCoy. All in all, 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.400 a good win. One and one. Now let's go to 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:39.920 Kansas City and then one more point. Even Jalen Marshall 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.320 eric Um, he had a he had a big fumble 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:44.720 in that game that was returned for a touchdown by 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:46.800 the Bills. But then he came back and made a 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:51.040 couple of huge third down catches Um, and it was 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.240 cool to see him, you know, come back from that 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.000 mental the mental side of thing. He didn't let it 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:00.000 get bogged down and he came back, so lots of positives. 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.000 I was going to say, my point is that kind 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.040 of the poise of the offense, and I think that's 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:10.680 a especially playing in a place in Buffalo at New 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:14.160 Era Field, the new New Era Field formerly Ralph Wilson 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:19.440 Stadium formally Rich Stadium formerly Rich Stadium formally that was 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:28.480 before Why because naming rights rich products. Nonetheless, the biggest 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.720 nonetheless my point here other than naming rights is that 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:35.680 even though the Bills came out of the second half 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:39.760 scored fourteen points, much to what Ryan Fitzpatrick said after 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.480 the game, is there was never a hanging head on 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.600 the sideline, and the Jets just seemed to go about 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:48.400 their business and stick true to their game plant, which 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:53.280 clearly involves Matt Forte obviously at thirty carries a hundred 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:56.800 yards and three touchdowns. So I think that the most 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.000 impressive thing for me was just sticking true to your 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:04.640 game plan and staying keeping calm, keeping poison. Eventually, good 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:08.080 things impress the atmosphere. Brian Winners said this week on 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.560 Inside the Jets Monday night, seven o'clock on esp on 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:13.719 New York here or you can watch it on New 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:17.760 York Jets dot com. When he was visiting with myself 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:21.399 and Larry Hardisty, he said that was the loudest environment 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:24.959 he had ever played. In. Brandon Marshall, who's been in 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:27.960 this league for more than a decade now, also said 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:32.720 that place was crazy, tremendous environment, and the Jets responded, 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:35.720 that's going to help him this week because Kansas City, 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:40.680 it's gonna be an afternoon. I'm gonna piggyback right off 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:42.560 what you said. We're moving to Kansas City again. If 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.639 you don't know, Kansas City has not suffered a loss 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:56.200 at Arrowhead Stadium since October eleventh, of two thousand score 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:59.960 total yard there. It is Matt Forts return. The Jets returned, 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:04.920 since I believe, and yeah, and then we don't win 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.320 that game. New York Jets did not win that game. 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:09.879 I remember that one. So so now we're gonna we're 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.280 gonna go to the Twitter sphere here and we're gonna 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:16.239 take some Twitter questions and about the game. And so 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:19.199 first we're gonna go to Karen, He says. Should we 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:23.480 expect to see more defaults from fits slash? Is there 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:27.280 a specific soft spot that you see that the Jets 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:32.840 and Shan Gailey will try to exploit? You're not lead off, No, 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:39.360 I'm not, but it's it's a it's a given, Takethan 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:41.560 I know you didn't ask this question you're getting from Twitter, 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:45.639 But I ask, are we specifically talking about Kansas City? 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:50.040 Kansas City? When I look at the Chiefs, the two 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.879 guys who pop out at me in the secondary or 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:55.080 Eric Barry, who was one of the finer safeties in 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.359 the National Football and one of the finer stories in 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.640 the National Football League as well, No doubt know everybody 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.240 was playing for him and he came back. What do 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:08.480 you have again? Which is so tough, and you know 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.160 it says a lot about the guy that he came 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.000 back from that and he played at a high level 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:16.080 last year and he still remains one of the top 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.040 safeties in the National Football League. Marcus Peters as a 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:20.960 guy who got beat a couple of times last week 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:25.720 in Houston. The Texans have some solid receivers DeAndre Hopkins 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:30.760 among that group, but Peters also had two interceptions last week. Uh. 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:34.520 He led the National Football League, as you pointed out, Um, 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:38.480 and you're scouting the opponent's story. I believe he Leddon 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:41.239 I found interceptions as a rookie last year, didn't he? 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:44.440 He did? He had eight. He's a guy, he's a playmaker. 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:49.040 So when I look at this game. Hey, how are 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:55.320 the Chiefs going to defund the Jets? First off, we 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:58.520 got a monitor of the injury situation. Alex talked about 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:02.199 Brandon Marshall while he's got the knee injury, dealing with it. 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:05.359 He joked this week that Quincy and Noon was looking 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:07.520 over his shoulders, so he's got to stay out there 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.679 in the field. Speaking of shoulders, Eric Ducker dealing with 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:14.800 the shoulder injury. Now, every game plan, each and every 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.760 week is going to be different. But it's always been 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:20.920 a misnomer that, hey, Fits can't get the ball down 0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:26.160 the field. The Bills challenged the Jets as far as 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:29.640 one on one on one matchups, and the Jets got 0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:32.159 down the field and Fits put the ball where he 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:34.760 was supposed to. I'm gonna be interested to see how 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:38.640 Bob Sutton, a former Jets assistant, tries to attack this 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:43.919 Jets offense a g I honestly don't even remember the question. 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:46.200 I just know that we were just talking about Fits 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:49.760 in our offense. Okay, that's fine. Should we expect to 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:51.640 see do you or do you expect to see more 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:54.359 deep balls from Fits? And is the is there a 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:59.480 specific soft spot? So I mean, for me, personally, should 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.480 we expect see more more chunk plays? I know Eric 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:05.040 Decker in the off season and training camp always said, 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:08.159 you know, I do want to be more involved in 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:10.439 chunk plays. He had a couple of big I think 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:12.879 he had a sixty five yard touchdown and when it 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:15.280 was in the field house and rainy day ones, So 0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:20.520 I would expect I think accredit to Todd Bowles. It's 0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:23.480 a game by game basis, and chunk plays on this 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:26.440 Chief secondary may be tough to come by with Eric 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:28.879 the eight four mentioned Eric Berry and Marcus Peter and 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:31.399 Ron Parker also play safety for the chief season and 0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:36.520 he's a former cornerback, so so there's talent there for sure. Yeah, listen, 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:39.920 this Kansas City defense is a good defense, right. So 0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:43.240 so Alex, if you know, do you think that the 0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:46.040 Jets maybe pull a fast one on the Chiefs and 0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:48.720 go deep? I mean, why not? It worked in the 0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:51.720 last game, so you know, why would you go away 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.679 from What I think is more interesting is the defensive 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:57.159 game plan for the Jets this game. This is we 0:21:57.200 --> 0:21:59.760 talked about Brandon Marshall and I don't know who else 0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:02.480 said it was the Brian Winters Buffalo was the loudest 0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:04.480 environment he's ever been in. But this place is going 0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:07.200 to be rocking. Isn't it known to be the loudest 0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:10.760 in the NFL. But they some new noise records again 0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:13.879 they have. I don't think, and I'm not saying that 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:16.320 from the seven six, I don't think it's gonna be 0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:18.760 as loud as Buffalo, just because there's a night factor 0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:23.600 a little bit at one o'clock, as opposed to those 0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:27.760 crazies back in Western New York tailgating Sunday afternoon to 0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:30.200 Thursday for that night game. There's that hasn't been a 0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:33.320 lot of night games in Buffalo lately. You know, Kansas 0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:37.119 City much respect out there to their fans. It's going 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:39.040 to be a sea of red there. But I think 0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:41.000 the Jets will be ready for that noise. It's gonna 0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:43.560 be really important. I think that the Jets get off 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:46.399 the field, especially on third down, because not only are 0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:49.000 they're gonna be going up against Andy Reid and that 0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:52.080 West Coast offense with Alex Smith, but they're gonna be 0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:54.840 going up against that crowd noise um, you know, and 0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:57.879 Andy Reid's as good as it gets um when it 0:22:57.920 --> 0:23:01.399
