1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: And here it is the two thousand seventeen regular season schedule.

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: Ethan Greenberg. Eric Allen here with you breaking down weeks

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: one through seventeen. We're live on Facebook. That means you

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: can comment below with your questions. Will be taking them

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,159
Speaker 1: at the end of the show. Eric, First off, what

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: pops out with you from this schedule? Well, number one

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: is the Jets will open on the road at Buffalo

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: in Week one, but they're gonna stay on the road

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: for the first two weeks of the season, Ethan, for

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: the first time since. After the Jets go and play

11
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: the Bills in Western New York, they'll come home, get

12
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: in a week of practice, off to the West Coast

13
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: where they'll face the Oakland Raiders. And I'm one of

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: the most talented rosters and all football. You look at

15
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: a guy like Derek Carr playing quarterback, and then on

16
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, Khalil Mack of course.

17
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: And then in week three, Ethan, the Jets will have

18
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: their home opener against the Miami Dolphins. So they all

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: when Raiders, very talented team, as you mentioned before twelve

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: and four a season ago. Now earlier today, Yeah, you

21
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: sat down with Bob was Shusan An analyzed weeks one

22
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: through seventeen. You are looking at the Jets two thousand

23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 1: seventeen schedule. The NFL officially just released it moments ago.

24
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: We're here with the Voice of the Jets, Bob was

25
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 1: Susan Your initial impressions as you've digested this pretty quickly, Um, interesting? Uh,

26
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: front loaded with a couple of road games. Three of

27
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: the last four weeks on the road, so a tough

28
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: start and a tough finish the middle of the schedule, though,

29
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: You've got on eleven weeks stretch where they're on the

30
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: road three times and all short trips trip to Ohio,

31
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: two trips to Florida. So this is not a taxing

32
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: schedule like last year. Remember when the schedule came, everybody

33
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: was talking about the first six, first six games, I mean,

34
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: this is just a murderers row. Well, three of their

35
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: first five games this year against teams that didn't make

36
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year, and then they play on a

37
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: eleven week stretch where they've got seven home games on

38
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: a bye and three games on the road, So who

39
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: knows what they will still, if anything, be playing for

40
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 1: that last month of the season. That's where it gets tough,

41
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: and you look at you gotta go out west, you

42
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: gotta go to Denver, Um, gotta finish the season against

43
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots. A trip to New Orleans is not easy.

44
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: So it's hard at the end, and obviously a west

45
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: coast trip at the start of the season with Oakland

46
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: as well. But if you are looking for a schedule

47
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: where you could, potentially, if you got through the first

48
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, maybe split those first two, have a

49
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: chance because you've got some home games. You're not gonna

50
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: have your team on short rest. Is one night game,

51
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: a lot of one o'clock games. Your team's in a routine.

52
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: I mean that this is not what last year's schedule was.

53
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: Last year's schedule was taxing. This is not a taxing schedule.

54
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,399
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Patriots game in week seventeen. YEP. It's

55
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: interesting the way the divisional contests layout in two thousand seventeen,

56
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: because the Jets will be done with divisional play for

57
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: the most part after that Thursday night game on November second,

58
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 1: all the way until the end. That's right, So U

59
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: five five divisional games relatively early in your finishing with

60
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: a lot of opponents. You just mentioned the Broncos well

61
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: even and you can see in the last six weeks

62
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: of the season they've got two NFC opponents. Normally, they

63
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: try and backload the schedule with divisional games and conference games,

64
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: knowing that those will carry greater implications because of a

65
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: division title or tiebreakers, that type of thing. And you've

66
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: got some of those out of conference games played either

67
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: dead in the middle of schedule or at the beginning

68
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: where you're setting up whatever the consequences might be. Not

69
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: so this year. And I haven't taken a look at

70
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: everyone else's schedule in the league, so I'll be curious

71
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: to see if that's a trend across the league. But

72
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: just as far as the Jets are concerned, to play

73
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: five of your six divisional games basically before you hit

74
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: like the halfway point, or right at the halfway point,

75
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: you're done with the majority of your divisional play until

76
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: you get to your finale is is different. We're used

77
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: to opening at home at Mattlife Stadium. This year, the

78
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: Jets start with the Bills in Week one and then

79
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: then then a West Coast trip after that, the West

80
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: Coast trip early, which if I'm the team my favorite,

81
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: I'd rather get that out of the way early, and

82
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: then he come home. Miami is your home opener a

83
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: week three, file by a game with Jacksonville, and then

84
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: you're in Cleveland in week five. So maybe you get

85
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: split early or something like that on the road and

86
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: come back home and see where you're at. And no

87
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: one is expecting this team to have a big season.

88
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at every over under for

89
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: the Jets, you approached the season, no one is thinking

90
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: the Jets are gonna be a playoff team. But if

91
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: there was a schedule that would give the fans hope

92
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: that at the start of the season they could make

93
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of noise pull off maybe one of

94
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: those road wins to start off the year, and then

95
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: you get three teams in a row at home that

96
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: everyone is going to think, at least, are you know,

97
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: our three teams the next three weeks that are beatable

98
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: and maybe you could be above five hundred five six

99
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: weeks into the season. Well, any team that's above five

100
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: hundred five or six weeks into the season is in it.

101
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: You know, the NFL is different than any other sport psychologically.

102
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: The impacts of what happens to you early in the

103
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: season are greater in the NFL. Then, you know, if

104
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: you play a hundred and sixty regular season games or

105
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: eighty regular season games and you get off to a

106
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: slow start. There's a mentality in the NBA, NHL, Major

107
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: League Baseball, those marathon sports where we we got plenty

108
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: of time, We're gonna play plenty of games. We'll get

109
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: ourselves out of this hole. In the NFL, you play

110
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: sixteen of these games, every game is armageddon. So when

111
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: you get off to the start they got off to

112
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: last year, all of a sudden, the sky is falling.

113
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: This year, maybe they get off to a decent start.

114
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: You have a totally different mentality. So it'll be interesting

115
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: to see how those first few games play out. That

116
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: would they then go into week five, six, and seven

117
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: of the season with the competition obviously steps up a

118
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: little bit. You're you get a three week stretch where

119
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: you're playing the two teams that were in the Super

120
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: Bowl in a three week stretch. After you get through

121
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: the first five games, what is your record after those

122
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: first five games? What's your mentality going into those games?

123
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: You know, if you're one and four and now you're

124
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: looking at the Falcons and the Patriots two out of

125
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: three weeks. I mean, then the sky is falling. But

126
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: if you can get through the first five games three

127
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: and two, well, now a loss to one of those

128
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: teams doesn't wreck your year. It doesn't bury you deeper

129
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: in a hole you can't get out of. Now it's

130
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: a loss you can deal with because hey, alright, we're

131
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: three and three. Now we start fresh. We're in this thing.

132
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: So they have an opportunity with some of the teams

133
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: they play early on to at least have a chance

134
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: in September to maybe give the Fansom hope that they

135
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: could have a season. So thirteen one o'clock games in

136
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: two thousand and seventeen to four o'clock games and a

137
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: four mentioned Thursday night games re rememb there are flex

138
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: schemes as well. Maybe the Jets can be flex in

139
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: sur primetime action down the line. But as always, Shooes,

140
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: we appreciate your instant analysis. As always, Big Game Bob,

141
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,559
Speaker 1: Bob was choosing the voice of the New York Jets

142
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: with great analysis. Eric. One of the biggest points is

143
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: the New York Jets played divisional opponents in five of

144
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: the first nine weeks of the season, so let's take

145
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: a look at the schedule here, start out in Buffalo

146
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: and then you move on to Miami. As you mentioned

147
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: the home opener in week three. Yeah, I mean in

148
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: between week one in week nine, you're playing five of

149
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,239
Speaker 1: your six divisional games. Actually, this season for the Jets

150
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: will end week seventeen for the first time in franchise history.

151
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: They'll close this season against the New England Patriots on

152
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: the road as a road opponent in New England, of course,

153
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: in week seventeen. But yeah, early on to the season,

154
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: very divisional heavy. You got Buffalo in week one, you

155
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: got the home opener with the Dolphins in week three.

156
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: That in week six, Ethan, you take on the New

157
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: England Patriots at home, where the Jets have consistently played

158
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots tough. They fell in a tough ball game

159
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: last year, very close, nip and tuck. Hopefully they'll be

160
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: able to turn that around this season. On Week seven

161
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: you go to Miami and then a week nine, it's

162
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills for the third

163
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: consecutive year, Ethan. And yes, it is our color rush

164
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: game here it is fans. The Jets will be an

165
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: all green color rush Thursday, Week nine. When the good

166
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: thing about that Week nine match up against the Bills,

167
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: it's a short week for the Jets. They're not going anywhere.

168
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: Week gate, you host the Atlanta Falcons, then you get

169
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: a couple of days to prepare. You host the Bills

170
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: color Rush game. A little unfortunate that the Jets won't

171
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: wear the white face masks again. But and so here's

172
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: the little fun factory you see here. The Jets play

173
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: the Dolphins week three in week seven in two thousand

174
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: seventeen a season ago, the Jets and Dolphins didn't meet

175
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 1: until Week nine of last season. So a reversal there

176
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: for the divisional opponents. And before we move on, we

177
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: want to take a Facebook question here. Jason d asks,

178
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: what is the toughest month of the schedule. Well, that's

179
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: that is a tough one, Jason based. Traditionally, I break

180
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: the season down by quarters and not by months. You

181
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: look at October right here. You open up with Jacksonville home,

182
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: and then you're at Cleveland in week five. And if

183
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: Josh McCown is the Jets starting quarterback, hold no. A

184
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: lot of familiar faces on the defensive side of the

185
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: ball of Cleveland Browns. Of course, McCown was in Cleveland

186
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: the past couple of seasons. But the thing that jumps

187
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: out at me in October is Week six and then

188
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: week eight. Week six against the New England Patriots, defending

189
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champions. They dominated the division over the past

190
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: fifteen years or so. And then we gave Matt Ryan

191
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: and that high flying offense with Julio Jones and company

192
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: will come to MetLife Stadium. So two of those three

193
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: weeks right there in October, you're playing against both Super

194
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: Bowl participants from last year Ethan and then you know,

195
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: so October jumps out at me. And then that closed

196
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: that Bob was Shusen was just talking about as we

197
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: took a look at the schedule that you you come

198
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: out in December, you host a Kansas City team, a

199
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: perennial playoff team on December three. Then you're gonna go

200
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: out west and play the Denver Broncos and Von Miller

201
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: and company that tenacious defense on December ten. Then you

202
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: have another road game where you're gonna face Drew Brees

203
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: in the New Orleans Saints. John Morton, the new Jets

204
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, will probably give some intel to the Jets

205
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: defense that we can, he'll be pumped to go back

206
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: to New Orleans and play at the Super Dome. Uh

207
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: So those three games and that stretch in December stand

208
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: out to me, and of course that close against New England.

209
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: Uh defend the Super Bowl champions. Enough said right there.

210
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: So here's a little nugget for October. In December, October

211
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: and December. So here's a little fun fact for your

212
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: week sixteen. The Los Angeles Chargers still getting used to

213
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: saying that, but they played the New York Jets at

214
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: home since the first time since nineteen sixty was at

215
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: the Polo Grounds, so that'll be an interesting matchup. Nonetheless,

216
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 1: we'll take one more and seth f ask. Is the

217
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: schedule easier or harder than last year? It's tough to say.

218
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 1: You know what we do in April is everybody analyzes

219
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: the schedule and says, okay, here's a win here, here's

220
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: a loss here, and we try to go through each

221
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: game and have a complete breakdown. The bottom line is

222
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: last year, Ethan, when we looked at the schedule, the

223
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: first thing that jumped out at you were the Jets

224
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: for six or seven games, And he said, wow, that's

225
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: good enough be there could be a tough goal if

226
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: you don't get out of the blocks early because you

227
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: had a lot of playoff teams on your schedule, and

228
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: the Jets did indeed stumble out of the gate. This year,

229
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: it's a little bit different. You don't take away anything

230
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: about from the opposition, but when you look at the

231
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: opponents this year, I would say focus in on weeks

232
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: one through five. Can you come out of that in

233
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,119
Speaker 1: good shape? You go to Buffalo, you go to Oakland,

234
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 1: like Shoes and I were talking about, maybe you get

235
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: split there, maybe win a pair of games, who knows.

236
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: Then you host the Miami Dolphins at home, your first

237
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: home game, Jacksonville comes here. I know a lot of

238
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: people have um high expectations for Jacksonville this year. They

239
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: got a new coach and Doug Moron, Tom Coughlin coming

240
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: back to MetLife stating. And then Week five and the

241
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, So you know, can the Let's do some

242
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: damage early in the season. This first five weeks stand

243
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: out to me because then it really toughens off. I

244
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: think week six you got the Patriots, then a road

245
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: date with the Dolphins in Atlanta comes to town and

246
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: then the second half and we'll get into this more later.

247
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: This final stretch could be awfully difficult for anything. So

248
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 1: not only did e a catch up with Bob was using,

249
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: he also caught up with NFL Networks Brian Baldinger. We

250
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: just received the jets two thousand seventeen schedule and we're

251
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: now joined by NFL Network's Brian Baldinger. Baldi, what pops

252
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: out at you when you look at what the Jets

253
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: have ahead of themselves in two thousand seventeen, Well, I mean, anytime,

254
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, you look at the schedule and the first

255
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: thing you see is two road games to start to schedule,

256
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: you always go kind of whoa, because that's not happening

257
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: in very many places. So, you know, for them to

258
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: go to a division opponent Buffalo, you know, week one

259
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: on September ten, and have to turn around and take

260
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: that long flight to Oakland the very next week, and

261
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: we all know the type of problems that the Jets

262
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: have had playing Oakland over the years. That's a tough

263
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: start to any schedule being on the road, especially taking

264
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: on that that Oakland team that looks like they got

265
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: a whole lot of firepower and offense, what about that

266
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: first five game stretch. You mentioned that the two roads

267
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: to start, but then the Jets opened up at home

268
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: in Week three against the Miami Dolphins, and week four

269
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: they stay at home play Jacksonville. A lot of people

270
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: have high hopes for this year, and then a week

271
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: five they go to Cleveland. So in that first five

272
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: game mix pall the three of those teams non playoff

273
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: UH participants last year. Yeah, I mean, look at it

274
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: does get a little bit better. I mean, you know, look,

275
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins started turning things around last year, had

276
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: a winning record, made the playoffs. Adam Gates looks like,

277
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: you know, they've they've done a good job filling out

278
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: that roster right now. But the Jets certainly, no, it

279
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: won't be at all intimidator or out talented, I don't

280
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: think by the Mammi Dolphins. So look, you get a

281
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: game against Jacksonville here. I mean, it's a new coach

282
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: Coughland coming back into you know, that stadium that is

283
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: so familiar with and Doug Marone, who certainly knows, you know,

284
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: the Jets from being an offensive line coach there. To me,

285
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: it's a it's a real winnable game and you go

286
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: to Cleveland. So look, there's some wins there in the

287
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: first five games where you can kind of really build

288
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: them some things. Well, this bald Between September when the

289
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: Jets host the Dolphins at home and December three, when

290
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: the Jets host the Kansas City Chiefs, they will play

291
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: ten games, seven of those at home at Mattlife Stadium. Yeah,

292
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: and in that stretch that you're talking about, Eric, on

293
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: October twenty night, they play the Falcons, which obviously is

294
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough game against that offense. But you

295
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: stay home on a Thursday night game to play the Bills,

296
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: so you don't have to travel that week at all,

297
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: so you get you know, I mean, it's always a

298
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: tough stretch when you're playing on a Sunday Thursday, but

299
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: at least there's no travel involved. You're right there. Most

300
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: teams that played Thursday night games, there's travel involved, whether

301
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: you're going to that Thursday game or coming back on

302
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: the Sunday prior to it. So I think that's a

303
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: good stretch right there. And then of course you played

304
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: that Thursday and then you got ten days to get

305
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: ready to go to it to Tampa on that November twelve.

306
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: So that's not a bad stretching there as far as

307
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: you know, being home, getting some rest, uh and getting

308
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: ready in ten days to go on the road to

309
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: play Tampa. I'll tell you a what to Baldy. This

310
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: team is going to know where it stands in the

311
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: division quite early this year because up until that home

312
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: game against the Buffalo Bills that Thursday night or on

313
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: November two, that will conclude a portion of their schedule

314
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: where they play five divisional games, and then that back

315
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: half between November second when they host the Bills and

316
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: they will not play another divisional game until December thirty one,

317
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: when they conclude the season against the New England Patriots.

318
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: You might know a whole lot better, Eric, but I

319
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: can't remember the last time the Jets finished the season

320
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: with the Patriots, especially in Foxborough, so they you know,

321
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: they played the playoff games that finished the season. But yeah,

322
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: that's uh, they've got a tough stretcher after the Pie

323
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: week November nine, they do get two tough teams in

324
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: Carolina Kansas City at home, and then they got you know,

325
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: two tough road games at Denver in that New Orleans.

326
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: So but they'll have a bye week to get ready,

327
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: to get healthy and all those kind of things. I

328
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: think nobody wants that early season by to get a

329
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: bye I think you know right around uh, you know

330
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 1: that that goes up to almost Thanksgiving a week. That's

331
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: that's not a bad time to get that. Thank you

332
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: so much for taking time out of your day to

333
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: help us break down in two thousand seventeens that schedule,

334
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: My pleasure. That's luck to you man, good talking to you.

335
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 1: That was NFL Networks, Brian Baalzinger And if you're just

336
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: joining us now, Ethan Greenberg, Eric Allen breaking down here,

337
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 1: it is the two thousand and seventeen regular seasons schedule.

338
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: We're on Facebook, we're live. Please comment with your questions.

339
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: We'll try to get to as many as we can.

340
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: And Eric, the biggest point that I took of from

341
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: Baldy was that the starting in Week three, the New

342
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: York Jets seven out of ten at home at MetLife Stadium,

343
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. You open up on the road,

344
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: two games swing against Buffalo and then Oakland. Then you

345
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: come home. You'll be at the friendly confines of MetLife Stadium.

346
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: MetLife Stadium for seven out of ten games and then

347
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: you have your buy in there and the Jets are

348
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: not gonna go too far even when they do move

349
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: away from MetLife Stadium, because you're going to You're going

350
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: to Cleveland here, Miami and Tampa. That's it. So that's

351
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: why I point to early in the season. If you

352
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: can make some headway here, then you can set yourself

353
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: up for possibly to be in good position around week

354
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: eleven when or week fourteen when you start hitting the

355
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: road for three of four road dates to close the season.

356
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: That's what the thing that jumped out at me. The

357
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: first thing I saw on the schedule is you open

358
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: up two on the road and then you finish three

359
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: or four on the road. So that means the bulk

360
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: of the middle of your schedule is going to be

361
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: at home. And wouldn't it be something be terrific for

362
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: to Bowls and company if they get some home field

363
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: advantage this year by starting off on the right foot

364
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins at home September, feel good about

365
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 1: yourselves a little bit. Then Jacksonville comes to town the

366
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: next week, and then those next two home games are

367
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: gonna be tough ones. New England Patriots, Atlanta Falcons. So

368
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: you talked about this before thirteen one o'clock games, the

369
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: majority of them in that time span where the Jets

370
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: will be at home, great time to come out. And

371
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: you talked about the week eleven by, second season in

372
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: a row that the Jets have had a week eleven

373
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: by and ironically, Phil ms, is that a goodbye or

374
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: a bad bye? Well, it depends, Phil, how are the

375
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: Jets are gonna play? What from weeks one through week ten?

376
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: Because you know, you ask any team throughout the year,

377
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: and we're in a locker room throughout the season, and

378
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: most guys will tell you it's always a good time

379
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: for the boy if you're riding high. Though heading into

380
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: an off week, most people say, hey, listen, I'd rather

381
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: stay and keep on playing because we got some more months.

382
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: I'm going. But the bottom line is, I don't look

383
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: too much into it, but it gives you a chance

384
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: to rest up when guys potentially are banged up after

385
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: going through ten games, and then you get a six

386
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: week stretch to the end of the season. So I mean,

387
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: you can look at it on both sides of the coin.

388
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: I like a bye probably pretty much right in the

389
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: middle of the season. And the Jets get it here

390
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: in week eleven. So you talked about before we answered

391
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: the Facebook question again Facebook Live, please comment your questions.

392
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: We talked about the most difficult month. Do you think

393
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: that there's a particular stretch in and throughout the season

394
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: that you see as particularly favorable or a little a

395
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: little challenge well favorable. You know you're analyzing it here

396
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: and you always look to see it. Where are some

397
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: opportunities where you do have extended time at home? So

398
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: weeks three, weeks four you're at home against the Miami

399
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins and then Jacksonville, and then week five you play

400
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: at Cleveland, a team who was also building Hugh Jackson,

401
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: a fantastic coach. It's gonna be interesting to see if

402
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: they take Miles Garrett number one overall and if he'll

403
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: be facing Josh McCown in that matchup in Cleveland. But

404
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: you look at that three games stretch and that's gonna

405
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: be pivotal, pivotal I think for the Jets early in

406
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: the season to do some damage here this three game

407
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: stretch because that will set them up nicely. As the

408
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: schedule toughens up a little bit, you go and host

409
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: New England, as I keep on in Atlanta, weeke eight

410
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: and these teams all down in the line here on

411
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: this half of the slate. Tough ball clubs Tampa, Jamis, Winston,

412
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: NFC South. They could be the favorites there. Carolina, they

413
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,719
Speaker 1: were in a Super Bowl two years ago. Cam Newton

414
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: a tremendous defense. I love their interior linebackers, Thomas Davis,

415
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: Luke Kickley, Andy Reid has the Kansas City Chiefs winning

416
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: ten games are more each and every year, and usually

417
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: they're peeking by this time. Denver von Miller and company.

418
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: Ferocious defense, and they love to play there at mile High,

419
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: so you gotta adjusted to the altitude. And then New

420
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: Orleans got a future Hall of Fame quarterback and Drew

421
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: Brees and company. So um, you know, I look at

422
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: that early stretch weeks three through five, and you can

423
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: even include the Bills in there weeks one through weeks five,

424
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: and say, hey, can we get off on the right

425
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: foot here. Jets are a young team, They've made a

426
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: lot of changes. It'd be great to go onto Buffalo

427
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: like they did last season a week two. Totally different

428
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: our roster right now for the Jets and for the

429
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bells and they have a new head coach and

430
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. That's gonna be a tough matchup, but you

431
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: know you're going to Buffalo, gets the momentum, take your

432
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: swing there against the Raiders in Oakland. But I'm looking

433
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: at weeks one through weeks five because what happened last year,

434
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: as we talked about with Bob was schusing, is the

435
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: Jets got off on the wrong foot and they never

436
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: could recover kay snowball effect. Kinda Well, you can turn

437
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 1: that thing around, and Uh, for me, what the schedule

438
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: vindicates is we're getting close to the football season and

439
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: next week very important for this team as we go

440
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: forward because it's the NFL Draft. So the Jets play

441
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: the a f C West the NFC South. You mentioned it,

442
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: two very difficult divisions. You wanted to look at these

443
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: five questions these five weeks. Excuse me, and Kyle ash

444
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: asked of these weeks, what is the most what's the

445
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: biggest measuring stick for this Jets team. Oh, you gotta

446
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: look at the Oakland Raiders right early in the season. Uh,

447
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: you gotta look at the Raiders because this is a

448
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: team that potentially could challenge the New England Patriots for

449
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: a FC supremacy. Derek Carr, Khalil Mack the black hole.

450
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: This is could be potentially the last time the Jets

451
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: will ever play the Raiders in Oakland. We know the

452
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: Raiders are moving to Las Vegas, so I know a

453
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: lot of folks love that old AFL matchup. Um, the

454
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: Jets go out there, uh, and they're really gonna get

455
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: tested by a Raiders team because they have a lot

456
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 1: of firepower on offense and like I said, Khalil Mack

457
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: is one of the best defenders in the National Football League.

458
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: The Raiders were primed to go on a playoff run,

459
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: of course, before Derek Carr went down with an injury

460
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: and focusing on the Raiders again, we're Facebook Live. Please

461
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: comment with your questions and Gary Kay, based on this

462
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: Raiders matchup, wants to know the battle in the trend

463
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: just the Jets clearly have a good defensive line. The

464
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: Raiders have a great offensive line. Who's gonna win the

465
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: battle in the trench. I don't know. You're gonna give

466
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: me some time there, but defensive line. You just said it.

467
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: When you're facing a Raiders team, it's like an old

468
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: old L. Davis team right now because they can throw

469
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: the long ball and they can pound it. Yeah yeah,

470
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: run those toss sweeps and their offensive line. Those guys

471
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: are monstrous mammoth. But the Jets have high hopes for

472
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: Mohammed Wokerson this year coming back. He's got a year

473
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: under his feet after suffering that injury. Tought it out

474
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: last year, got it out, That's what Todd Bowle said. Uh.

475
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams continues to come into his own. Ethan just

476
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: made the Pro Bowl and I have high hopes for

477
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: him in year three. Still got Sheldon Richardson here, Steve

478
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: mcclennan did some nice things for this team. And then

479
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,239
Speaker 1: you have some depth there as well, with guys like

480
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: Dion Simon and company. So to me, it's that match

481
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: up up front. It's gonna be fascinating because what you

482
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: gotta do with a guy like car is you have

483
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: to get after him at what do quarterbacks, Hey, they

484
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: don't want any pressure up the middle, So potentially maybe

485
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: the Jets can get some pressure up the middle and

486
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: the gate that run game and take their chances. But

487
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: that's a hull of the ball club they'll be facing

488
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: and It'll be interesting, uh, to see how the Jets fair.

489
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: But right now you gotta focus on Week one. That's

490
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and the Jets swept the Bills last year.

491
