But first off, you're going 26 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: to Buffalo. It's gonna be a great It's gonna be great, 27 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: a great trip, a little homecoming for you a But 28 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: we're here to talk football. This is the first time 29 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: since since nineteen sixty the New York Jets will feature 30 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: two rookie safeties in the secondary. Jamal Adams, of course, 31 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: in the number six overall pick in Marcus May, the 32 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: second round pick out of Florida, starting right in a 33 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: regular season. How excited are you to find we see 34 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: these two guys play a full game of football. Well, 35 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: it's great. I think we've all been looking forward to 36 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: this since late April when the Jets drafted Adams with 37 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: the sixth overall selection out Alice. You a lot of 38 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: people did not think he was going to be there. 39 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: You think about Mike mccangan's first draft pick as general 40 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: manager in New York Jets, most pundits didn't think Leonard 41 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 1: Williams was gonna be there either, so the Jets were 42 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: so excited to get him. And then in the second round, 43 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people initially were like, why 44 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: I get a safety? Well, I'll tell you why you 45 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: get another safety because Marcus May was the best player 46 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: on their board. Also, Todd Bowles loves to use his 47 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: safeties as a pivotal part in his defenses, so we'll 48 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: get to see how he's gonna use these guys here 49 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: early in week one. But they've both been very impressive, 50 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: you know Green's You've talked to them both that they've 51 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: exceeded the team's internal expectations, their wise beyond their years. 52 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: The will be a few bumps along the way, but 53 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: uh yeah, it's a new era for the Jets at 54 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: new era field. No pun intended there. That was good. 55 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: I like that all right. Now let's go to the 56 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: seven one six and bringing Thick Garucci from the Buffalo News. Vick, 57 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us. What have your 58 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: first impressions bend a head coach Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean, 59 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 1: both in their first year there with the Bills. Yeah, 60 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: my impressions are pretty favorable just in terms of what 61 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: they're saying and laying out as their program. But right 62 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: now that's just talking words. We'll see how it all 63 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: plays out once, once the games are played and once 64 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: the season unfolds. But they both seemed to be well 65 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: organized men and determined men. They came up through the 66 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: ranks as as guys who weren't handed anything. They really 67 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: earned every bit of what they have in their respective 68 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: paths to these top jobs as head coach and general manager. 69 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: I think there's a high level of accountability that they 70 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:10,119 Speaker 1: expect from players, and in revamping this roster, it's it's 71 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: pretty reflective of the type of characters that they brought in. 72 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: You're looking at a team that went from well, from 73 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster that started last year, only 74 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: twenty two of the players who played in at least 75 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: one game are left, and of those six were draft 76 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: picks in the Doug Whale era as GM. So they 77 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: clearly did a revamping. And as I said, it's its 78 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: emphasis on character as opposed to characters, I should say, uh, 79 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: and and very much an idea that you want discipline, 80 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: you want to be organized, you don't want a team 81 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: that frankly, in in the Rex Ryan couple of years, 82 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: um had had committed a lot of penalties and and 83 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: had too many issues with uh too many, too many 84 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 1: or too few men on the field. You're talking about 85 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: new faces on both offensive defense. Obviously one of the 86 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: positions on the offensive side of the ball is wide receiver. 87 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: I mean a lot traded Sammy Watkins, you get Jordan Matthews. 88 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: Just what was your impression of the trade, not only 89 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: to ship Watkins to the Rams with them to get 90 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews an exchange for Ronald Darby. Yeah, And and 91 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: that's led to kind of the perspective that, Okay, this 92 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: is a long term plan that we've heard preached by 93 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean that they're trying to build 94 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: sustainable success. So they've accumulated six draft picks for the 95 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: first three rounds of the neck of the two thousand 96 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: and eighteen draft, and clearly they feel that that the 97 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: talent that's going to be available in the draft, if 98 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: they if they picked them right, will make this a 99 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: better team for the long haul and in terms of 100 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: the short term, and that's where people are Bills fans 101 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: certainly have some discomfort because nobody wants to wait right 102 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: and everybody's impatient. So yeah, you know you again, it's 103 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: a very similar, very parallel stories I think going on 104 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: between the Bills and the Jets. But Sammy Watkins was 105 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: easily i think, their best player this side of Lashawn 106 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: McCoy and Ronald Darby was a top cornerback. But uh, 107 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: they are starting over with the receiving corps that does 108 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: have a veteran in Jordan Matthews and and also Andre Holmes. 109 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,799 Speaker 1: But they're very excited about Zay Jones, the the rookie, 110 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: the second round pick that they got from East Carolina. 111 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: Uh three D ninety nine career catches in college, so 112 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: they think he can do some things. Uh. Tyrod Taylor 113 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: still there at quarterback, doesn't have the big play guy 114 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: that he had in Watkins, but uh, he feels and 115 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: I've talked with him about it, he feels he can 116 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: make things work with what he does have and Zay 117 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: Jones and the others and Charles Clay at tight end, uh, 118 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: Nicoleary at tight end. So it'll be it'll be interesting 119 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: to kind of see how this plays out short term 120 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: with the idea that you know, can you have it 121 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: both ways? Can you can you have short term success 122 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: or competitiveness while your emphasis is on being good for 123 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: the long haul. Well, what are your expectations for Tyrod 124 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: Taylor in a very short term in terms of Sunday's 125 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: game against the New York Jets? And then long term 126 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: do you think he has a chance to be the 127 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's quarterback in two thousand and eighteen. And going 128 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: back to the first part of my question is he 129 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: didn't play much in the preseason. He just got cleared, 130 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: uh from concussion protocol, so he'll definitely get to start. 131 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: But it's a new offense under Rick Donnison, a West 132 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: Coast attack, and you know it so well, uh covering 133 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: him every day. Is that Tyrod is great on the 134 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: moves on the move, but it seems to me from 135 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: the outside struggles throwing the ball over the middle at times. 136 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: And then you're working in all these new pieces on 137 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: the outside of receiver. Yeah, you're you're asking a lot 138 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: of a quarterback to have success under those circumstances. As 139 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: you mentioned, new offense. Now, he did have a year 140 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: of exposure to Rick Dennison's thinking and philosophy when they 141 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: were together in Baltimore when Tyrod was backing up Joe 142 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: Flacco and Dennison was there as quarterbacks coach. But that's 143 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: different than you know, being the starting quarterback in Dennison 144 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: of course being the coordinator. So there's a lot of 145 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: newness to work through. And remember Tyrod was also asked 146 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: to take and had to take basically a ten million 147 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 1: dollar pay cut over a couple of years to remain 148 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: with the Bills when the market just didn't allow for 149 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: him to go elsewhere. If that were going to be 150 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: the case, and that might have been the case had 151 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: another team stepped up, because it didn't look like Buffalo 152 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: was going to keep him at the rate he was, 153 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 1: you know, at the rate of his salary that he 154 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: had signed in August of two thousand sixteen. So you 155 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: got that kind of playing out in the background. And 156 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: Tyrod has told me that, you know, he doesn't know 157 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 1: what he did to deserve the cut, because his numbers 158 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: effectively were very similar in in sixteen than they were 159 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: in fifteen. The short answer might be, well, you know, 160 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: they wanted you to have better numbers, uh, from from 161 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: fifteen to sixteen, But um, yeah, I think it's going 162 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: to be a challenge, and I think for the short 163 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: term for this game Sunday, I think the focus is 164 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: going to be on seeing how he can work that 165 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: middle of the field because that's what the West Coast 166 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: attack UH calls for. And obviously he's gonna have an 167 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: eye on those two rookie safeties Jamal Adams and Marcus 168 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: May to see what kind of success they can have 169 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: challenging them with the tight ends and and with Andre Holmes, 170 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: for instance, a bigger receive. Ever's a Jones Uh, certainly 171 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews a big guy too, who's coming off of, 172 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: by the way, a chip fracture, the stern of it 173 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: he suffered fifteen minutes into his first practice with the Bills. 174 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 1: So I think I think the idea would be to 175 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 1: go after those rookie safeties as much as they can. 176 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: So not only do the Bills have a new offensive coordinator, 177 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: but on defense with Leslie Fraser taking the reins this year, 178 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: what are some of the biggest systematic differences from last year? Oh? Huge, um, 179 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: As you guys well know, the Rex Ryan scheme, the 180 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,599 Speaker 1: three four base with a lot of substitution sub packages, 181 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: blitzing and and all the are creating pressure or simulated pressure. 182 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: All those components are gone basically and replaced by a 183 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: four three based scheme that Leslie Fraser and Sean McDermott favor, 184 00:10:55,280 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: and also UH require a lot of zone play out 185 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: of coverage, a lot of his own coverage. That is 186 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 1: asking the secondary to do different things. And you know, 187 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: if you're asking for what would make what's going to 188 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: look very different for the Bills. The most dramatic change 189 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: is the entire secondary. And UH we asked Leslie Frasier 190 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: about this the other day. He's been in this league 191 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: nineteen years of coaching UH and doesn't remember when he's 192 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: come into a season with a secondary where there was 193 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: no carryover, like everybody came from somewhere else. So you 194 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: have the two corners UH in trade Avious White, the 195 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 1: first round draft pick from l s U. You have e. J. 196 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: Gaines that came over from the Rams as part of 197 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: the Sammy Watkins trade. There your corners, and then it's 198 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: safety with Micah Hyde coming in as a free agent 199 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: from the Packers and Jordan Ployer free agent from the Browns. 200 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: Um getting these four guys to communicate to be on 201 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: the same page. So that will be a challenge I 202 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: think for for the Bills secondary and for Leslie Fraser 203 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: and those defensive assists, just to keep everybody on the 204 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: same page. Someone on offense that's clearly a staple here 205 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: is Lashawn McCoy. Very talented and you know, one of 206 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: the best backs both receiving and on the ground. So 207 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: how does his skill set translate into this Rick Dennis 208 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: and offense. That's a great question, and I'm just gonna 209 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,719 Speaker 1: follow up here, Vic. I think this is the key 210 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: to the game because for the Jets, they have to 211 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: maintain their lanes and integrity, the Russian integrity, not not 212 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: only against Tyrod Taylor, but McCoy. Yeah, you know you 213 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: said key to the game, out, Let's take a key 214 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: to the season. Key to everything the Bills do is 215 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy. Yesterday or on what day was at Wednesday, um, 216 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott made the comment that you know, if he 217 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: has to give this guy, you know, run him every 218 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: single player, put the ball in his hands every single play, 219 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: he'll do it because he knows how much he means 220 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: McCoy means to the offense. I don't know that that's 221 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: a smart thing necessarily to do, or that he really 222 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 1: means that he would do that with a twenty nine 223 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: year old back, because you can get the guy hurt 224 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: or wear him down pretty quickly. But I do think 225 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: that everything does flow through him. As far as this offense, 226 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: and you mentioned the Dennison scheme, it's a you know, 227 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: it's a a wide zone type of scheme that very 228 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 1: much think of what Mike Shanahan uh did as a 229 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: as a coach in this league, certainly his son Kyle, 230 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: and what he brought to the Falcons and there it's 231 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: kind of that same lineage of offensive thinking where you're 232 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: stretching the defense and you're trying to get a guy 233 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: to of course find those cutback lanes. And Lashawn McCoy 234 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: is is really good at that. He's he's he excels 235 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: at that. He's had an amazing camp. He from the 236 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: first practice, you saw him with the ball in his 237 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: hand and he said, wow, I mean, that's that's a guy. 238 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: That's an elite. That's what an elite player looks like. Now, 239 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: I'll add that maybe part of the reason he looks 240 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: so elite in a Bill's practice is because I don't 241 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 1: know that there was anyone else on the team physically 242 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: who had talent that came close to that, So he's 243 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 1: probably made to look even better when he's not surrounded 244 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: by the greatest amount of I'm talking elite edge talent. Uh. 245 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: The offensive line, though it has been strong, and this 246 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: is a team that's led the league in rushing the 247 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: past couple of years. That is because of McCoy, but 248 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: it's also because of Tyrod Taylor's running as well, And 249 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: I think that's another component to think about when you're 250 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: asking me how the Jets, you know, how how they 251 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: can maybe survive that matchup if you will, of the 252 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: two running games from the From the Bill standpoint, it's 253 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: helping to set up the run with the tailor rushing 254 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: dimension that can help soften things up perhaps or keep 255 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: this defense off balance. But I think the simple game 256 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: plan that the Jets and other teams will follow defensively 257 00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: is load that box and dare Tyrod t Or to 258 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: try to beat them throwing the football, especially when he 259 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: doesn't have a Sami Watkins to throw too. All right, 260 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: So every thing, as far as the Buffalo offense is concerned, 261 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: runs through Shady but everything in the seven one six 262 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: runs through Vic Carucci. It's always a treat for us 263 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: to have you on. You know, I grew up in 264 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: Orchard Park read you when I was a kid growing up, 265 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: and uh you continue to do tremendous work and it's 266 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: uh honored to have you on a official Jets podcast 267 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: and we look forward to seeing you at New Era 268 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: Field as the Jets celebrate a new era with their 269 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: two rookie safety starting against Tyrod Teller and company. Well, I, 270 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: first of all, thank you for the kind words. And 271 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: the good thing that makes me feel good and not 272 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: old is I know that you're only fifteen years old now, 273 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: so you know when you were growing up that long 274 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: well sad man. Otherwise I'm I'm the real old guy 275 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: that you read when you were a kid. But I 276 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: will say this, yeah, it's it's exciting, I think for 277 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: all those who sort of look at this game and say, Okay, 278 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: these are two teams that are really thinking about something 279 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: other than this year long term, so it could not 280 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: necessarily be so pretty in the short term. And that's 281 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: the common view we we all know that the rest 282 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: of the nation has and maybe the fan basis of 283 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: the respective teams. But I think it's exciting opening day. Uh. 284 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: It's supposed to be a beautiful, beautiful day in Orchard Park, 285 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: your hometown. And I think the other part of this 286 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: is the newness, you know, Like you said, how will 287 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: those rookie safeties do for the Jets? How will the 288 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: rookie corner do for the Buffalo Bills? And and how 289 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: is it all gonna look when when a lot of 290 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: these spaces that people don't necessarily recognize wearing uniforms from 291 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: both of the teams show up. So, like you, guys, 292 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it. We'll see this weekend, all right. 293 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: See you. Green is always great here and from the Garugie. 294 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: You know how much respect I have for him. Uh. 295 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: I guess that I was reading him when I was 296 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: a little boy, way before your internet days are, way 297 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: before you were at New House. But one stands out 298 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,959 Speaker 1: to you as far as what he just said there offensively, 299 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: you know where the ball is going to go to 300 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: earl in offense? Well, yeah, it's Lashawn McCoy, Shady McCoy. 301 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: And I thought it was really interesting that he he said, 302 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: you said it was a key to the game, and 303 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: he said, no, no, No No, it's a key to the 304 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 1: season and for a team that has a lot of 305 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: new faces on both sides of the ball, especially on 306 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: the offensive side. He's one of the staples of the offense. 307 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: This is a great test for the Jets rush defense 308 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: and they have to be aware where he he is. 309 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: Also when he's coming out of the backfield as a receiver. 310 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: I think the safeties could play a pivotal role in 311 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: terms of run support as well. All right, let's go 312 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: down to Kentucky. You bring in our quarterback chair Pennyton. 313 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: Who's uh returning to the Official Jets podcast, Eric Gallen 314 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: here in studio with Ethan Greenberg. Of course, Chad, what 315 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: do you think is going on in the mind of 316 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: Josh McCown thirty eight years old? He is the only 317 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: quarterback remaining from the two thousand two draft and will 318 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: start Sunday in Western New York against the Buffalo Bills. Well, Eric, 319 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: I think he's excited at number one, and I think, um, 320 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: he is the most important acquisition that the Jets we're 321 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: able to acquire this off season because he's going to 322 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 1: provide some stability um with the team that there seems 323 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 1: to be a lot of instability, especially from a fans perspective, 324 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: not necessarily from a coach's perspective or organization perspective, but 325 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: from a fans perspective. UM, you can be assured that 326 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: that Josh is on to provide stability better in leadership 327 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: really throughout the team, not just on the offensive side, 328 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: but throughout the team. And so I've been in that situation. 329 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: I've gone to a team that was one of fifteen 330 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: needed better in leadership, and so this is a great opportunity. 331 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: And talking with Johnston this offseason, I think he's really excited. 332 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:09,719 Speaker 1: He understands specifically what his role is on the Jets, 333 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: and if there's anybody that can fulfill that role, understand 334 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: his role and stay within that role, it would be 335 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: johnsh McCown. So obviously in the preseason, you don't play 336 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: all your cards. What are you expecting from this Jets 337 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: offense in Week one of the NFL season? A lot 338 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 1: of movie parts yet, well, there's no doubt, but you 339 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: know everything in Week one, it's such a week that 340 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: you're trying to get a feel for who you are, Uh, 341 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: you know what guys can do certain things. Um, even 342 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: with the experience of veteran teams, they're still trying to 343 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: get a feel for who they are and established their identity. 344 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: And so that first week across the board in the NFL, uh, 345 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: it just kind of goes up and down. It's it's 346 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: the roller coaster and you're trying to feel your way 347 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: through and the upimate goal and week wanted to get 348 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter barring any disasters, and then have 349 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: a chance to win and eat out a win. And 350 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: when I look at this week one match out between 351 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: the Jets and the Bills, this game can go either way. 352 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: And if you're looking for the Jet to squeak out 353 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: a few wins this year, this's got to be one 354 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: of them right off the bat where they can get 355 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: off to a good start. Um the Jets can feel 356 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: good about their progress they've made in training camp. This 357 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: is a game that they've got to cener Chad. How 358 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: difficult is it to prepare for a team? Offensively speaking 359 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: for the Bills that have a new offensive coordinator and 360 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: Rick Dennison to have a new identity with head coach 361 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. Obviously he's more of a defensive mind, but 362 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: as a quarterback and as an offense in general, What 363 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: do you do differently to prepare for a team that 364 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 1: one has no game film of two thousands seventeen and 365 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: secondly has an entire new offense. Well, you have to 366 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: do a lot of research. You have to research the 367 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: background of a quarter menasure, you have to look at 368 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: other teams that he has worked with before, who got 369 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: their concepts, and so you kind of have to piece 370 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: your game plan together. You certainly take a look at 371 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: preseasons to get a seal for individual players and individual 372 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: skill sets. But then you've got to piece your your 373 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: game film and your research together. Uh, to look at 374 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: concepts and see what concepts is the coordinator like what 375 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: concepts of Buffalo been successful with in the past, based 376 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: upon the players that are still there, try to piece 377 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: that together. Knowing coach bowls um in the defensive staff, um, 378 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,959 Speaker 1: they're still gonna open it up and and do some 379 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 1: things to the pressure. They don't believe in sitting back 380 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: and waiting to see. I think they feel like we're 381 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: gonna take the established the tempo and take our mindset 382 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: to the offense. So you're still going to see some 383 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: of that, which is a good thing. And Week one 384 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: typically you want to make or that everything you're doing 385 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: does not put yourself in a situation where you're playing 386 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: unsound or you give up a big play just because 387 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: of miscommunication or things like that. It is. It is 388 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: strictly a week where you're trying to give a feel 389 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: for who you are, what you can handle, and you're 390 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: trying to get to that fourth quarter saying, okay, now 391 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: let's go. We've got three quarters here, We've made our adjustments, 392 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: now let's still put the dagger in them. In terms 393 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: of Shady McCoy, Chad, I know it's going to take 394 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: a unit's effort, a unit's excellent effort to contain him. 395 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: But who specifically you think has to step up in 396 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: terms of the Jets run defense, Well, I think it's twofold. 397 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,360 Speaker 1: I think number one. From a defensive line standpoint, where 398 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: you space a running back like Losa McCoys, who was 399 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: so versatile and dynamic with his feet, the biggest thing 400 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: you have to do from a defensive line standpoint is 401 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: to give him to stop his feet in the hole 402 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: and to slow his momentum down once he gets going 403 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: and he's able to use those jump cuts to spin 404 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: and maneuvering space. It makes it extremely difficult for the 405 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: back seven, and so that front four even though if 406 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: even if they don't make the tackle, if they're able 407 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: to stop him change directions, the more time he changed 408 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: directions unless speed he has, the less elusiveness he has, 409 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: and so it's it's a corral mentality from the front four. 410 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: Then in the back end, both linebackers and the secondary 411 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: that they have to be excellent at tackling in space. 412 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: They've got to be excellent at plane under control, playing 413 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: within themselves and not being out of control, because if 414 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 1: you're out of control, back like McCoy will make you 415 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: look flat silly, and he's excellent in space and with 416 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 1: the type of cuts and things he's able to do. 417 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: So I think it's twofolds from a decent per standpoint. Offensively, 418 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: Johnny morton Is said that I think in today's enough 419 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: aile you have to go by committee approach at the 420 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: running back position. We know who the Jets have back 421 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: there in math Forte and bilal Paul. How do you 422 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: think the Jets should go about using these guys early 423 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: in the season, Chad, because they both have fresh legs 424 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: right now. Well, Coach Morton is exactly right. It's bas 425 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: nfl Uh. You have to be versatile in the running 426 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: back group for multiple reasons. Number one, from a game 427 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: plan standpoint, you've got to be able to present different looks, 428 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: different matchups, different schemes take advantage of the different skill 429 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: sets of your backs to create problems for the deacon. 430 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: Number two, it is about health and keeping your running 431 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: backs healthy. Now, they take a lot of hits, not 432 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: only running the football, pass protection, running routes, all of that, 433 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: as well as if they play special things. So running 434 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: back by committee is certainly the way to go. And 435 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: you really start to target what do my guys do well? 436 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: What are the running and passes and things? What are 437 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: their skill sets? Where can I put them in the 438 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: best position to be successful to help the team? Do 439 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: you use them on the feel at the same time, absolutely, 440 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: I think, uh, there may be some situations where you 441 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: do do that. I think these guys are versatile enough, 442 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: experienced enough to be able to handle that and be 443 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: able to be in the backfield and one may be 444 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: running around while the other is past proteking or vice 445 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,479 Speaker 1: versa or leap blocking. Uh, use them in the slot 446 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: off the wing, you know all kinds of different things. 447 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: I think from a running back perspective, Chase Morton certainly 448 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: has options there. Austin Seferie and Jenkins is suspending for 449 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: the first two games this season, so the Jets went 450 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: out and they acquired Will tie Off of Waivers tight 451 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: On from the Giants. Ninety receptions is first two pro seasons. Um, 452 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: do you think it's too early to say it could 453 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: become a factor in the passing game or you focus 454 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: on packages here early? For him, I certainly think that 455 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: it's gonna be packaging and probably uh complimentary route where 456 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: a shot he's talking about West Coast, you're talking about 457 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: shallow crossing route, shallow out route, steam route, different things 458 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: where he's the complimentary receiver of the compliment to the 459 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: number one. I don't know how much you will see 460 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: where the tide end is the designated number one receiver 461 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: unless it's go on short yardage or some type of 462 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: regular practice that I think it would be few and 463 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: far between. Well, not only Will Tie about how about 464 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: Jermaine Curse and Jeremy Curley, who are recent acquisitions to 465 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: this receiving room. You expect it to be similar to 466 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: that for Will Tie, Jermaine Curse and Jeremy Curley because 467 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: obviously they all have to get accustomed to this system. Well, 468 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: I mean, at the end of the day, not everybody 469 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: can be complimentary because they don't have a car it. 470 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: He doesn't get afforded that luxury. I think, uh, for 471 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: Curly and Curse, you're looking at veteran players. You're looking 472 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 1: at Curse coming from Seattle, Darryll Vivans, the West Coast 473 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: type thinker. I think some of that terminology probably will 474 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: be similar. I think his adaptation into the coach Morton 475 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: system will be smooth. Curly a veteran football football. He'll 476 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: have his moments, so uh, it will be just like 477 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 1: running back by committee. Bub was the wide receiver by 478 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,479 Speaker 1: committee asked him to do certain things at certain times, 479 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: also having packages where they are the number one receiver. 480 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 1: But obviously, uh, Anderson has to has to pick up 481 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: the load. We talked in the preseason, and and he 482 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: knows that even as a second year player, he's the 483 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: leader of that room, and he has to establish his 484 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: leadership through his actions and his work ethic. He doesn't 485 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 1: have to speak about it. He's gotta work extremely hard 486 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,679 Speaker 1: and show his work ethic and through his actions on 487 00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: the field and how he leads that group with variant 488 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: for Well, he brought me to my next point in 489 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson is that obviously last year he had three 490 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: people ahead of him in Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker and 491 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: Quincy and Noon. Now he's the guy. So how will 492 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: defenses in this case Buffalo's defense? How do you expect 493 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: them to play him differently? And then on the flip 494 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: side is how is this Morton? You know, should it? 495 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: How does John Morton help Robby Anderson get some attention 496 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: off of them? Well, to be honest with you, I 497 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 1: don't think this is any disrespect to Robby Anderson or anyone. 498 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 1: I don't think Buffalo is going to implement any type 499 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: of double team coverages. I don't think they're going to 500 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: implement any type of practice coverages and lance. It's just 501 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: part of what they do. For instance, team when they 502 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: get into the red round, they take receivers to Brackett, 503 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: regardless of whether or not they're All Stars or not, 504 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: or if they're proven. Um, just part of their system, 505 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: part of what they do. So I really think that 506 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: from a passing game standpoint, Uh, You're just gonna get 507 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: your basic coverage. Quarterback and receivers should know what they 508 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: are and it's gonna be on who executes better. And 509 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: so I think Robby Anderson will get from one on 510 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: one opportunity. What Buffalo will be um prognant enough and 511 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: what they will know for sure and what the CBS 512 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: will be taught this week is do not let eleven 513 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: get by you. That he will run by you. He 514 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: can flat out run. He's already shown that last year. 515 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,239 Speaker 1: I'm account here him on a big past this year 516 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: in preseason. They know this guy can run, and so 517 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: that will be if there's any emphasis in in the 518 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: deceps of secondary for Buffalo, it will be that Eleven 519 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,959 Speaker 1: can get by Other than that, I don't think you're 520 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: gonna see any specific scheme uh that you know it's 521 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: targeting a certain play. I think it's going to be 522 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: used because what we're playing, that who you're playing against. 523 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: Understand your roles and let's just go play football. How 524 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: excited are you, Chad Pennington about the debut with these 525 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: rookie safeties. Jamal Adams, so a lot of people said 526 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: was the cleanest prospect of the entire draft, class that 527 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: Jets picked them up at number six overall, that came 528 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: back in round two and get Marcus May from Florida 529 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: Talented Gate or secondaries. We all know all greens. Um, 530 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: how excited are you to see these guys in live action? Well, 531 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: I'm excited, but I think also you're concerned because do 532 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: rookie started on the opening day? Uh, and two positions 533 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: that are extremely important when it comes to communications in 534 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: the secondary. And so you know your hope um, and 535 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure the coaches have talked to them about this 536 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: is don't freeze up. You gotta go just play ball. 537 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: And you've gotta really understand your skill set, believe in 538 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,959 Speaker 1: your skill set and what your capable doing, and realize 539 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: that you're out there for a reason. That's because you 540 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: are good enough. And are you going to make mistakes yet, 541 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: no question about it. Let's win at those small mistakes. 542 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: Let's don't make mistakes based on communications. If we make 543 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: a mistake, it's just because we were out performed in 544 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: one area physically, whether you know, somebody makes a great play, 545 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: a great cut. And so the biggest challenge for those 546 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: two rookies will be the mental communication. Uh. Come Sunday, Well, 547 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: congratulations on your schools win down in Kentucky. You're coaching 548 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: down there, and everybody continues to follow you up here, 549 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: so I gotta report that you're one and oh as 550 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: your team and took home of fourteen nothing win and 551 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: your eldest son Cole through a sixty yard touchdown pass 552 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: and a stutter and go. So congratulations coach. We're happy 553 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: about that, and uh we always enjoy catching up with 554 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: you and look forward to next week. Absolutely hope they 555 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: can come back and went to New York with of 556 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: course Chad Pennington. Wonderful as always a really different look 557 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: at how maybe the average fan may view a game 558 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: or view matchups. So e a the close things out here. 559 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: It's been eight months since the Jets have set foot 560 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: on a football field in a regular season game. Of course, 561 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: the last game was against the Buffalo Bills at MetLife Stadium. 562 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: So it's with the funnel recovery and to kick six, 563 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: the kick six good times. Unfortunately doggies on I R. 564 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: But a lot of changes on and off the field. 565 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: This is what we're waiting for. What is the one 566 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: thing you're most excited to come to fruition on Sunday. 567 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: It's hard to go away from the safety's greens. I mean, 568 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: you lad the show talking about this, and you know, 569 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: obviously you have short term goals, you have long term goals, 570 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: and the Jets are trying to do both. They're trying 571 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: to win now and they're also trying to build something 572 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 1: for the for the future. And Mike mcagnan has repeatedly 573 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: stated that we want to build this thing through the draft. 574 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: So you look at those guys Early, Daniel, look at 575 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: I look at all the draft picks are Darius Stewart 576 00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: third rounder with curses incorporated to the offense, and Curly's edition. 577 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: We're just still kind of fit in here Early. Finally, 578 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: the two things they've stressed throughout the offseason, and you've 579 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: talked to these guys throughout it is that we want 580 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: to play with tempo and we want to protect the football. 581 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: Those are two things that they got to do in Buffalo. 582 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: It's an intense atmosphere up there in Buffalo. It was 583 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: Buster Screen told me this week during the locker room, 584 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: I'd say, listen, that's one of the greatest environments in 585 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: the league. Todd Bowl said it as well last year 586 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: a week two it was shaken. You were there. Uh yeah, 587 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: they'll be ready for it. And but I think this 588 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: young Jets team is excited about the opportunity and the 589 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: fresh start. Let's see what they can do. All right, 590 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: There you have it, the official Jets podcast game preview 591 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 1: again Jets Bill Sunday, one o'clock Orchard Park at New 592 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: Hour Field.
