Speaker 1: Out of the hold of Kevin Hubert. The snap the
Speaker 1: place that the kick is on the way towards the uprights,
Speaker 1: and it is good. Mike Nugent Tonets and the Bengals
Speaker 1: have the lead by one twenty three twenty two fifty
Speaker 1: four seconds on the clock, no time outs for the Jets.
Speaker 1: Live from Callandral's Italian village and called Well, New Jersey.
Speaker 1: He's inside the Jets on Nutty eight point seven ESPN.
Speaker 1: Here's Larry Hardisty and Eric Allen. Good evening, everybody, and
Speaker 1: we welcome you from Collandra's Italian village here in Bloomfield,
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Inside the Jets Prevented presented by e Y
Speaker 1: Building a Better Working World and e A. As you announced,
Speaker 1: but you always get your news on New York Jets
Speaker 1: dot com and today e A tweet tweeted that we
Speaker 1: are back on contracts and renew the Here we offer
Speaker 1: your number two. Yeah, I'm excited about it. Larry, Hey, listen,
Speaker 1: a lot of positive things to come out of yesterday,
Speaker 1: a couple of let's run down a couple of them
Speaker 1: before we bring our guests who will join the stuy
Speaker 1: Quincy and Nona and also Darrenly will join this time.
Speaker 1: We'll take your phone calls a little bit later in
Speaker 1: the show. We one nine, one, nine, three, seven and
Speaker 1: seven six. For me, obviously, what jumps out at you
Speaker 1: to performance of the defensive line seven sacks five in
Speaker 1: the first half. I mean, you guys were throwing numbers
Speaker 1: that you gotta go back to nineteen six. You gotta
Speaker 1: go back to years ago to have that type of dominance,
Speaker 1: especially early. Yeah, it was amazing that Jets new they
Speaker 1: had to get pressure on Andy Dalton, and they sure did. Uh.
Speaker 1: Steve McClendon, how about his debut with the Green and White?
Speaker 1: Two sacks? He's so happy. I talked to Leonard Williams
Speaker 1: about it in the locker room and Leonard said, Hey,
Speaker 1: I think this guy is happy that he's not in.
Speaker 1: He's not too gapping just as much as he did
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. It's more shoot those gaps, get up field
Speaker 1: and get after the quarterback. Leonard Williams, who we talked
Speaker 1: about in the off season when you came out to
Speaker 1: training camp, Larry, Uh, the guy is primed for a
Speaker 1: monster season. He had two and a half sacks yesterday.
Speaker 1: He was around the quarterback all game. I think he
Speaker 1: had five quarterback hits. Mohammed Wilkerson. He's thoroughly back from
Speaker 1: suffering that broken leg in Buffalo in weeks six weeks
Speaker 1: seventeen last year. He had a second and a half.
Speaker 1: So the Jets seven sex and all six of them
Speaker 1: came from the defensive line. And oh yeah, they're getting
Speaker 1: back Sheldon Richardson this week as they go to Buffalo
Speaker 1: for a key divisional matchup. But yeah, it's all started
Speaker 1: up front with the defensive line. They played very well.
Speaker 1: On the other side of the ball. Laer, what do
Speaker 1: you think about Matt Forte? You look good, look real good.
Speaker 1: And that was interesting because all the talk, as you know,
Speaker 1: has been about what's going on with this Jet offensive line,
Speaker 1: especially at the right tackle. Todd Bowles saying, listen, neither
Speaker 1: quality or a Gillanna had won it outright, So I'm
Speaker 1: going to play them both and eventually this will sort
Speaker 1: itself out. Offensive line played well yesterday. They played very well.
Speaker 1: You know, fourte ninety six rushing yards and all I
Speaker 1: believe he told a hundred and fifty five yards. We
Speaker 1: saw what he can do as a receiver. But is
Speaker 1: that Sincinnati front. That's a tremendous front there, and you're
Speaker 1: dealing on with guys like Gino Atkins, Carlos Dunlap and
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick had the time to throw. He was sacked once,
Speaker 1: but the Jets got it moving on the ground as well,
Speaker 1: and there were three new opening day starters Sunday as
Speaker 1: compared to the two thousand and fifteen season opener. Brian
Speaker 1: Winners playing at right guard right tackle. The Jets alternated
Speaker 1: alternated series between Quality and Eigilana. Eigilana actually got to start,
Speaker 1: and then at left tackle, four time Pro bowler Ryan
Speaker 1: Claydy came in and he takes over for de Berkashaw
Speaker 1: Ferguson who retired after that great career with the Jets. Uh.
Speaker 1: He played very well that that whole offensive line. I
Speaker 1: think you gotta be very happy what they gave you
Speaker 1: early and Forte showed you what he can do, not
Speaker 1: just rushing to football in between tackles. What a patient runner.
Speaker 1: I love watching him. He's a smooth performer, great cutback ability,
Speaker 1: tremendous vision and Blao Paul got in there as well.
Speaker 1: Just like last year. I think the Jets are gonna
Speaker 1: have a very good want to punch at running back.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Quincy and noon while before. He is in
Speaker 1: the house tonight. Yesterday against the Bengals, we saw him
Speaker 1: stop up in the receiving game seven receptions that was
Speaker 1: a career high. He also got nine zone for the
Speaker 1: first time in his career. And what you like as
Speaker 1: a Jet fan is the potential of what you can
Speaker 1: do offensively to to confront and confound defensive coordinators. You
Speaker 1: can spread the guys out, you can do some things
Speaker 1: where you can bring Forte and put them in the slot,
Speaker 1: so you can do some different things that where Ryan
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick can spread the football around here, and that's gonna
Speaker 1: be good because then then it opens up your ground
Speaker 1: game even more. Yeah, I'm excited to talk to you
Speaker 1: about it tonight because during the summer I had a
Speaker 1: chance to talk to him. He said that I want
Speaker 1: to get better as a receiver, and we saw that
Speaker 1: during training camp and now if he could take that
Speaker 1: next step, this offense becomes even more diversified. Forte, you
Speaker 1: kind of know what he's gonna bring to the table,
Speaker 1: and Shane Gailey was so excited to get him into
Speaker 1: the mix as well. Now, yesterday was a day that
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't see a lot of last season,
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker helped to just five catches. Now
Speaker 1: Deck got in the end zone again. It seems like
Speaker 1: every game you expect eighty seven and get in the
Speaker 1: end zone. But it was Quincy a guy like him
Speaker 1: stepping up. And the more guys who step up for
Speaker 1: this team and the more versatile this attack becomes, the
Speaker 1: harder it's gonna be for teams to defund the Jets. Well,
Speaker 1: the bottom line is he is that if you double
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall, you're gonna pay elsewhere. If you if you
Speaker 1: double or you have safety help over Eric Decker, you're
Speaker 1: going to pay elsewhere. If you bring the safe with
Speaker 1: the safety, you know furthern in coverage, then you can
Speaker 1: have Matt Forte or black Power in the intermediate area.
Speaker 1: So the versatility that is going to give Chan Gailey
Speaker 1: and Ryan Fitzpatrick is going to be the thing, especially
Speaker 1: when you start to get into the red zone and
Speaker 1: the area gets constricted. Now, Brandon Marshall said it throughout
Speaker 1: training camp, and he's right. You can't double everybody. So
Speaker 1: if you're gonna double him, you're gonna double Decker. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have couple cover zero, which means man to man
Speaker 1: coverage on a lot of these guys, and a lot
Speaker 1: of these Jets can beat third offenders. Now, one thing
Speaker 1: that we can discuss right now that the Jets players
Speaker 1: aren't gonna talk about today is the Cincinnati Bengals. Because
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles was clear about it today. The New York
Speaker 1: Jets are on to the Buffalo Bills. He made that
Speaker 1: clear in his news conference. I'm sure he told the
Speaker 1: fellows that too. This is a Thursday night game in
Speaker 1: week two. You can't look back. They went on the
Speaker 1: field today, they go over their mistakes and then they
Speaker 1: move on. Uh, because yesterday against Cincinnati, a couple of
Speaker 1: things that hurt the team were red zona inefficient inefficiency
Speaker 1: two or five in the red zone. This is a
Speaker 1: team that last year finished number three overall inside the twenty,
Speaker 1: so they had some struggles inside the red zone. We
Speaker 1: saw some miscommunications in the defensive backfield. Uh. You know, defensively,
Speaker 1: when you look at what the Jets did up front,
Speaker 1: they had some miscommunications in the back and there was
Speaker 1: some big place that they were victimized by. But they
Speaker 1: went on the field today that took care of business
Speaker 1: and this team is focused on the Buffalo Bills. Both
Speaker 1: teams lost in Week one. This is a key early
Speaker 1: season divisional matchup the Jets last year three and three
Speaker 1: inside the division. The Bills won both games against the
Speaker 1: Jets last year. And you know, but going into tonight's
Speaker 1: double heather for Monday Night football, yeah, it's just amazing.
Speaker 1: Only one team won by double digits. So this we
Speaker 1: talk about parody in the National Football League. After Week one,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of parody. I mean, you have to
Speaker 1: turn overs the football. Is any premium handling the football
Speaker 1: not turning it over. It's a key thing. Every game
Speaker 1: is going to come down to two or three key
Speaker 1: plays in the game. If it goes your where you win.
Speaker 1: If it doesn't, you looking at the law school, you
Speaker 1: know what, you're right, and you know what. I like
Speaker 1: what the Jets did yesterday. Came racing out of the gates.
Speaker 1: First possession, Fitzpatrick connects with four different people touched the
Speaker 1: ball in that first possession and then finished with a
Speaker 1: noon on in the end zone and the Jets take
Speaker 1: a seven nothing lead. The crowds into the game, the
Speaker 1: place was crazy in electric Marcus Williams comes up with
Speaker 1: the interception. Offensive was right down the field again, and
Speaker 1: they're right there at the four yard line, firsting goal.
Speaker 1: You gotta finish with points there. Unfortunately the offense couldn't
Speaker 1: do it. Nick Folk came on block field goal, and
Speaker 1: then the tenor of the game changes there. Sincinnati moves
Speaker 1: the ball down the field, they get a big play
Speaker 1: fifty plus yards in the receiving game, and then before
Speaker 1: you know it, instead of fourteen nothing or tend to nothing,
Speaker 1: it's seven to three. And then we see a miscommunication
Speaker 1: and the defensive backfield A J Green is in the
Speaker 1: end zone. It's ten to seven. And then it was
Speaker 1: a see saw affair from there. And you knew that
Speaker 1: since Nanny Bengals weren't gonna go away. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean they are. They're there are very good teams.
Speaker 1: They may have their issues in the postseason, but during
Speaker 1: the regular season they're very good. They're very efficient, and
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, their defense doesn't get a lot of
Speaker 1: doesn't get a lot of notoriety. Their offenses what everybody
Speaker 1: talks about with their defense with Atkins and company, they
Speaker 1: are very very tough, especially pressuring you and from the
Speaker 1: passing game and stopping the run right and and that's
Speaker 1: why I was so impressed, Like you mentioned, Laria, what
Speaker 1: you got out of that offensive line in Week one winners, Uh, specifically,
Speaker 1: Todd Bowl said in the summer he was one of
Speaker 1: the most improved players on the Jets, and he came
Speaker 1: in handled his business again yesterday. The Jets are alternating
Speaker 1: quality and Gilanna at right tackle, but they performed well.
Speaker 1: And then of course Ryan Claydy, I mean, you're really fortunate.
Speaker 1: You gotta give Mike mccagnan a lot of credit to
Speaker 1: britishaw Ferguson missed one play I think in his career,
Speaker 1: and Mike mccagnan comes back, uh, and he works the phones,
Speaker 1: and he picks up a four time Pro bowler and
Speaker 1: Ryan Clady, who's one of the most athletic tackles in
Speaker 1: the National Football League. So you know, that was a
Speaker 1: good start for the offensive line, no doubt about it,
Speaker 1: both lines, and in the National Football League, you win
Speaker 1: in the trenches, you still win in the trenches. The
Speaker 1: Jets lost yesterday because of missed opportunities, but they were
Speaker 1: right there, and I think Bulls took the proper mindset
Speaker 1: this week that it's Thursday night. This is a team
Speaker 1: that has twelve rookies on it. Twelve rookies an opening
Speaker 1: day roster of a fifty three man roster. So this
Speaker 1: is a different deal. You can't be looking behind you.
Speaker 1: It's Thursday night. You get two days to prepare. Then
Speaker 1: Wednesday you're shuffling off the buffalo, that's for sure. Selective Insurances,

Speaker 1: host Larry Hardesty, Welcome back to Colondra's Italian village in Bloomfield,
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Ladies and gentlemen in Collandri say hello to
Speaker 1: the man who was just in the big highlight. Hedn't
Speaker 1: even smile enough. He's just used to being in the
Speaker 1: end zone. Now here's Quincy and with ladies and gentlemen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you guys for having me Quincy. Congratulations on your
Speaker 1: first touchdown reception. I'm not gonna talk about the Cincinnati
Speaker 1: Bengals because I've moved on to Buffalo, but I will
Speaker 1: ask you this, uh career high seven receptions and you
Speaker 1: did get in the end zone for your first time
Speaker 1: as a professional. So this is what I want to know,
Speaker 1: Larry Q, what did you do with the football? Your
Speaker 1: parents are intended in a tendance tonight right now? Did
Speaker 1: you give it to one of them? What do you do? So, honestly,
Speaker 1: I was a little too excited and I was kind
Speaker 1: of like in the moment, so when it happened, I
Speaker 1: just kind of gave the ball to the ref and
Speaker 1: walked back to the sideline. And once I got to
Speaker 1: the time, I realized I didn't grab the ball, So
Speaker 1: I told him, you know, can you ring with the
Speaker 1: ball back? And They're gonna get it done for me
Speaker 1: and I'll give it to my parents. Very nice. That's
Speaker 1: a nice That's a nice deal, all right. Now preparation
Speaker 1: for Buffalo. It's a divisional oppoment. If you have to
Speaker 1: place somebody in the short week, I guess it would
Speaker 1: be advantageous to play somebody that you're kind of familiar with. Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: you know, so you can kind of build off of
Speaker 1: what you kind of did last year. You know, obviously
Speaker 1: we didn't play them well last year, but we kind
Speaker 1: of have an idea of what they like to do,
Speaker 1: so going to this short week or just kind of
Speaker 1: building on that and uh, focusing on the little things
Speaker 1: that we kind of messed up on last week. Quincy,
Speaker 1: how does your body feel after going through a physical
Speaker 1: game like you did yesterday? And take me through the
Speaker 1: mental preparation too, of you gotta get your body ready
Speaker 1: for Thursday, when typically on a Wednesday you're probably just
Speaker 1: getting back and feeling good. Yeah, So, I mean the
Speaker 1: whole thing is mental at this point. Yeah. We don't
Speaker 1: get much time to really recover, you know, so the
Speaker 1: whole every practice is kind of a mental practice. You know,
Speaker 1: we're not going out there and beating ourselves up, hitting
Speaker 1: with pads, any of that kind of stuff. We're just
Speaker 1: kind of focusing on the mental game, uh, really going
Speaker 1: out there and just knowing when our opponent. So Quincy,
Speaker 1: obviously we've talked talking about Buffalo. You're moving ahead to them.
Speaker 1: But for you in preparation, this offseason has been good
Speaker 1: for you. The O t A s, the training camp.
Speaker 1: Second year in this offense, you seem more and more
Speaker 1: comfortable in it and enable to You're almost to the
Speaker 1: point where I think you're looking at Fitzpatrick and making
Speaker 1: some adjustments as to you know, some different plays off
Speaker 1: what you may may that may have been called. Uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's great when you can kind of know what's
Speaker 1: going to happen, you know, when you when you know
Speaker 1: the offense and you have an idea of defense, that
Speaker 1: kind of helps you play so much faster. You know,
Speaker 1: last year I was playing so slow. I watched the
Speaker 1: film and I was like, I don't even know if
Speaker 1: I should have really played you know. Uh, but this year,
Speaker 1: I just I feel so much more comfortable, you know,
Speaker 1: I feel faster. Um, I'm recognizing things faster and just
Speaker 1: help me to play so much fashion and it really
Speaker 1: allowing me to use my talents. How much do you
Speaker 1: enjoy your role? Because I go back to the summer
Speaker 1: and and Todd bowls. He doesn't fool around with words.
Speaker 1: We know that. And he said Quincy is our jack
Speaker 1: of all trades. He is the New York Jets Dennis Rodman. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like I said before, I appreciate it a lot. You know.
Speaker 1: It was really just kind of motivation for me, you know,
Speaker 1: for him to say that, and you really don't really
Speaker 1: really don't hear him say that about anybody, So for
Speaker 1: him to give me a compliment, it really kind of
Speaker 1: drove me. And uh, you know, I'm using that as
Speaker 1: a force, as a fuel to my force. What do
Speaker 1: you like the best? I mean, yesterday, you're out there
Speaker 1: playing h back, out there in the slot, you're playing outside.
Speaker 1: I know you want to be there for your team
Speaker 1: when called upon, But do you do you love anything
Speaker 1: the most? Honestly, I'm not even gonna lie. I love
Speaker 1: it all. I think, you know, any any opportunity I
Speaker 1: have to kind of be on the field is great
Speaker 1: for me. Every spot, you know, I try to take
Speaker 1: advantage of, uh, whatever is given to me. That's the
Speaker 1: right answer. Course, personatility is to keep the success my
Speaker 1: friends able to do more than one thing. More you
Speaker 1: can do that length is that football career a little bit?
Speaker 1: How much fun is it now you're a young player
Speaker 1: in the year, but now you've got three rookie ride
Speaker 1: receivers on this team. How much fun is that for
Speaker 1: you to kind of mentor these young guys. Yeah, I think, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's so much fun. I think
Speaker 1: every time I'm out there, I'm just kind of amazed
Speaker 1: by what they're able to do. And it's fun to
Speaker 1: just kind of, you know, have somebody look up to
Speaker 1: me and say, hey, you know, what do you think
Speaker 1: about this? You know, because last I was a young guy,
Speaker 1: so basically, you know, you know, kind of using the
Speaker 1: things that I learned and how hopefully, you know, I
Speaker 1: can pass that on to them. Quincy, your parents are
Speaker 1: in the house tonight, a girlfriend and your girlfriend. Of course,
Speaker 1: you grew up in California. Well, what kind of sports
Speaker 1: did you play as a young queue growing up? Uh? Soccer.
Speaker 1: I did a lot of soccer. Yeah, that was the
Speaker 1: biggest thing. In basketball. I really didn't play football until
Speaker 1: after those things. It was soccer and basketball. I dominated
Speaker 1: there first. And what got you in soccer? And what
Speaker 1: position did you play that? Soccer? My my dad, he
Speaker 1: got me into soccer. Uh, positions, I don't. I mean
Speaker 1: I was all over the place. I kind of was
Speaker 1: just kind of a wild player. I just you know,
Speaker 1: put me out there and just let me go play,
Speaker 1: you know, center, half, forward, everything. Yeah, he's told the
Speaker 1: two because his dad's over there shaking his head. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was all over the place. There's no question about that.
Speaker 1: Quincy Nome was our guest. Quincy. Uh, offensively, what has
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker just being in the film
Speaker 1: room with them learning from them, soaking up their their wisdom,
Speaker 1: and I was, what has that been like to help
Speaker 1: you check your next step so far? Oh yeah, it's huge.
Speaker 1: And that's also a part of the growing process that
Speaker 1: I've had, you know, just learning more and more from
Speaker 1: them is help help me become more comfortable. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: when you have those two out there and you can
Speaker 1: just kind of look to your left, looks here right,
Speaker 1: and they can how to help you and give you
Speaker 1: tips or say hey, you know, watch this, it helps
Speaker 1: me think even less. And then when fits back there,
Speaker 1: you know, he's also you know, another guy that helps
Speaker 1: me out a lot. So yeah, I mean I'm in
Speaker 1: a great position right now. What kind of challenges are there? Additionally,
Speaker 1: when a team gets in the red zone, in the
Speaker 1: field shrinks. Oh man, you know, like you said, the
Speaker 1: field shrinks. So you know a lot of your players
Speaker 1: that you have that are a little bit deeper than
Speaker 1: what you a little bit deeper deeper than the feel
Speaker 1: that you're giving. You know, you have to kind of
Speaker 1: cut those out. Um. You know, it's hard for us,
Speaker 1: but it's also hard for the defense. You know, they
Speaker 1: got to cover the goal line as well as behind
Speaker 1: the goal line. Because you know, we all we have
Speaker 1: to do the trust the ball over the goal line
Speaker 1: and we score. So you know you kind of play
Speaker 1: that mind game with the defense there and that and
Speaker 1: that's the challenge because of the constricted area. So you
Speaker 1: also in part of your role as part of blocking
Speaker 1: on the offensive line was to the phenomenal job yesterday.
Speaker 1: Talk a little bit about that blocking, especially in the
Speaker 1: red zone where it's it's gonna be tricky at that
Speaker 1: constricted area. Yeah, you know, the blocking over there is
Speaker 1: even tougher because those guys are going even harder. You know,
Speaker 1: they their backs against the wall, so you know they
Speaker 1: have is that fight or flight? You know, we we
Speaker 1: we have to make sure that we keep these guys
Speaker 1: out of the end zone. So you really got to
Speaker 1: kind of buck up and and and and uh you know,
Speaker 1: bring it, bring your bring your hard hat. What goes
Speaker 1: through your mind when you think about going back to Buffalo,
Speaker 1: because you guys, the last time you were in Western
Speaker 1: New York, we're riding a five game winning streak with
Speaker 1: the playoffs on the line, and work goes through your head?
Speaker 1: Now is you think to this game? I know things
Speaker 1: have changed, but just going back there, Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is we're glad that we're
Speaker 1: not playing that in January. Uh, you know, the weather
Speaker 1: was terrible. But um, in all seriousness, I think, uh
Speaker 1: uh it's we just gotta focus. You know. We we
Speaker 1: we we let them have too many players last time,
Speaker 1: and uh, just watching the film, you know, we we
Speaker 1: know we could have one right, and we really got
Speaker 1: to make sure we come into this game with focus.
Speaker 1: You know, we're getting we're getting off our legs a
Speaker 1: little bit, so you know, we're gonna be able to
Speaker 1: kind of be physically ready as long as we take
Speaker 1: care of ourselves. You said, you know, you know what
Speaker 1: to expect from a Buffalo Bills defense, So explain it
Speaker 1: to everybody. What are you gonna face when you see
Speaker 1: these guys? Yeah, well, you know, like I said, we
Speaker 1: know what to expect. But when I say that, it's
Speaker 1: we know that they can throw anything at us. You
Speaker 1: know Rex's defense that he has so many different possibilities.
Speaker 1: He's he's he's uh, really versatile with his defense. You know,
Speaker 1: he runs a lot of blitz, is runs a lot
Speaker 1: of different coverages and it gives you a lot of
Speaker 1: different looks. So you know, we really got to make
Speaker 1: sure that we're focused and uh really just make sure
Speaker 1: that we're really in tune to the game plan. And
Speaker 1: then I guess if you're going to play them to
Speaker 1: a short turnaround, we choose the best time to do
Speaker 1: a short term You don't want to do short term
Speaker 1: round a week thirteen? Yeah, yeah, yeah, de from what
Speaker 1: kind of team is uh Nebraska, I'm gonna have this year?
Speaker 1: You're in Nebraska. A. Um, yeah, they've they're looking kind
Speaker 1: of good. Um, the receivers are playing well, and so
Speaker 1: I'm happy about that. The defense is playing well, and
Speaker 1: they have a lot of stars back there. Um, so

Speaker 1: long as we kind of, you know, keep playing the
Speaker 1: way we are. You get a chance to watch them

Speaker 1: welcome our next guest, first round pick from the Ohio
Speaker 1: State University selection in the two thousand sixteen NFL Draft,
Speaker 1: That of course, is Darren Lee. Darren, thank you so
Speaker 1: much for joining us tonight on Inside the Jets. Not
Speaker 1: a bad start. I know the team uh didn't get
Speaker 1: the result you guys want it, but you know you
Speaker 1: were out there. You're flashing on the field. Six combined
Speaker 1: tackles Defensively. I'm not gonna talk too much about Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: but I just want to ask you about the atmosphere
Speaker 1: in the stadium for your first professional game. Uh, the
Speaker 1: atmosphere was it was amazing. Um, you know, seeing the
Speaker 1: crowd there. Everybody was loud and having a great time,
Speaker 1: and everybody's excited for a game. And we had a
Speaker 1: really had a great opponent coming in. Um. And it
Speaker 1: was a big game for US opening Day and obviously
Speaker 1: the day of being nine eleven. So um, it was huge.
Speaker 1: I mean for me, I had a lot of fun
Speaker 1: and it was a challenge to soak at all in.
Speaker 1: But it was a great atmosphere. That was a great
Speaker 1: point about nine eleven. The Jets, of course, playing on
Speaker 1: the fifti year anniversary of the attacks, Heather Headley tremendous
Speaker 1: national anthem when it was nice to see Tuesday's children
Speaker 1: out there holding a flag. Very powerful, powerful, powerful Uh
Speaker 1: ceremony out there Sunday, all right, So what if the
Speaker 1: veterans told you about getting ready for a game on
Speaker 1: Thursday after you just play something. I mean, I know you,
Speaker 1: you know you could go right out there and everything,
Speaker 1: but I know they pulled you aside and said, come here,
Speaker 1: young man, this is what you do to get prepared.
Speaker 1: What did they tell you? Uh, well, they get prepared
Speaker 1: for safe for such a short turnaround. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: study up, um and you know turn the page. What
Speaker 1: happened yesterday happened? Uh, you know it's over with. You know,
Speaker 1: we got a big game. This is all if I've heard,
Speaker 1: because I've never played Buffalo before, so um, all of
Speaker 1: I've heard so far as that you know, rivals, uh,
Speaker 1: and you know it's always a tough game and playing
Speaker 1: those guys, and I believe they beat this twice last year.
Speaker 1: So you know, do you use that as extra motivation
Speaker 1: path and the ice path if? Yeah, yeah, take care
Speaker 1: of you about the usual uh recovery. But you know
Speaker 1: they don't. I usually do that myself. I've seen it.
Speaker 1: So I have to really tell me all right, the
Speaker 1: nickname the Manimal? Where did that come from? And what
Speaker 1: are your teammates calling you right now? In Flora Park? Okay?
Speaker 1: So the Manimal came from Taylor Decker who got drafted
Speaker 1: by the lines. Um. He gave it to me after
Speaker 1: my first year I started out Ohio State. Um, it
Speaker 1: was towards the ladder end of the season. Um, so everybody,
Speaker 1: that's the thing I gave myself that nickname, but that
Speaker 1: wasn't the case. Like he gave it to me, and um,
Speaker 1: it was after the Team Up North game, which Michigan
Speaker 1: for those who don't know, I can't say it, but
Speaker 1: you know, Um, so it was after that he gave
Speaker 1: it to me, and it just kind of stuck with me,
Speaker 1: and it stuck with me up until here. But everybody
Speaker 1: yet in the facility, you know, they called me Deeley
Speaker 1: or pup or you know, I don't have that name
Speaker 1: yet because I play one actual NFL game, So uh,
Speaker 1: no big nicknames yet for me. That's working on. We'll
Speaker 1: get there. We'll get there. So you're not alone how
Speaker 1: with this the Ohio state change, Ohio state you know,
Speaker 1: Pat got with you with your folks. Huh oh yeah,
Speaker 1: everywhere you know, seeing uh, that was another great thing.
Speaker 1: You know. I seeing Jayalen out there, it was huge.
Speaker 1: You know. Um he came in, he worked really hard
Speaker 1: training camp and it's good to see out there, you know,
Speaker 1: the usual turn he had and um him out there
Speaker 1: and just make a place. It was just a great feeling,
Speaker 1: you know. Um, and I just can't wait till we
Speaker 1: get Devon back to know you have a good relationship
Speaker 1: already with David the hitman Harris, but it's also some
Speaker 1: fun give and take. He's a Michigan guy, you're obviously
Speaker 1: an Ohio State guy. Also, you guys talk a little
Speaker 1: bit about hoops to right a little bit and who's
Speaker 1: your guy in hoops and who's David's and uh, you
Speaker 1: know there's a little trash on going inside that linebackers
Speaker 1: from Oh yeah, you know, Dave likes um Michael Jordan's
Speaker 1: and I love Michael Jordan too. You know, we always
Speaker 1: go back and forth about it. But I gotta go
Speaker 1: with my god. Lebron man, you know, he got you
Speaker 1: gotta go to Ohio, right, He's Ohiol through and through. Now.
Speaker 1: For me, I'm an old guy, so I say, I'm Jay,
Speaker 1: this is the is the greatest athlete I've ever seen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Lero does not saying Lebron is not good.
Speaker 1: Let's say he's the great. But that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: He brought the title back to the land. I say that.
Speaker 1: This is what I say. Michael jordans to go period.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Lebron is I'm just saying Lebron might
Speaker 1: be you know, how do you how do you celebrate
Speaker 1: the Cavaliers title? Oh, I mean I didn't get to
Speaker 1: go to the parade. I was here, but it was
Speaker 1: great just to see them come back, and especially come
Speaker 1: back from down three one and just to pull that
Speaker 1: against that team. It's just amazing. It was good for
Speaker 1: that city, you know, for being in Columbus and being
Speaker 1: in you know, going on how the state. He had
Speaker 1: a lot of Cleveland guys and it means a lot
Speaker 1: to that city. It generally does. So, Um, that was good.
Speaker 1: That was good for the city, you know as a
Speaker 1: whole for them to win that. Darren, let's talk about
Speaker 1: film study. Let's talk about the adjustment you had to
Speaker 1: make now from the collegiate level to the pro level.
Speaker 1: And it's funny you're talking to you during training camp.
Speaker 1: You know, you're so much the usual. The athletes are faster,
Speaker 1: the playbook is bigger. But now I would think as
Speaker 1: you got to the regular season, it's even the that
Speaker 1: fasion the bil To preseason was yeah, absolutely. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's like a game of chess out there, you know,
Speaker 1: it really is. And I gotta get my chess game up.
Speaker 1: If that makes any sense, um, but you know it's
Speaker 1: you know, we were prepared and um, you know we
Speaker 1: went into the game, you know, without great game plan
Speaker 1: and um defense. You know ifel Good played with Joe
Speaker 1: Solid had a couple of big plays here and there.
Speaker 1: But we'll get that fixed. And um, you know, just
Speaker 1: seeing it definitely in college, you know they'll just go
Speaker 1: one read and okay, yeah, thought the ball. How about
Speaker 1: this week? I gotta ask you about Thursday night. I
Speaker 1: know you're just starting preparation, but you really got to
Speaker 1: get into your homework this week. I was just talking
Speaker 1: to Steve McLennan about He said, you want to study
Speaker 1: so much by Wednesday you can just sleep. It's so
Speaker 1: you're gonna be so exhausted Monday Tuesday. Now, tell me
Speaker 1: what you know about La Shawn and Shady McCoy and
Speaker 1: Charles Clay because those are two guys you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to deal with Thursday. Uh. Well, you know for uh
Speaker 1: twenty five, Sean McCoy, Um shifty guy, Um makes pig plays.
Speaker 1: Um you know, just seeing him, even seeing him as
Speaker 1: I've been growing up, you know, I just I know
Speaker 1: he's about He's a big play kind of guy and Uh, Clay,
Speaker 1: I haven't really seen, you know, too much on him,
Speaker 1: but you know through film study, I'll get more, um
Speaker 1: in depth on him throughout the week. Um, but I
Speaker 1: do know Leshancoy gotta be bring my a game for that?
Speaker 1: Is it really Darren? Going back to basics and fundamentals,
Speaker 1: remembering your leverage, remember remembering how to tackle, make sure
Speaker 1: you wrap up. Is is that a large part of it?
Speaker 1: After making sure that you're in the right place and
Speaker 1: no one when you're supposed to be be just to
Speaker 1: finish the play, bring the guy down no more yards,
Speaker 1: that's it done. Oh, I mean, you know, you go
Speaker 1: over what you gotta do, what you gotta line up.
Speaker 1: It just comes a bit true and it's like breathing. Um.
Speaker 1: And and once you're able to get lined up and
Speaker 1: you're able to read keys and see where you know,
Speaker 1: you can get a hint or a tip of where
Speaker 1: something the play might be going. Um, and then all
Speaker 1: goes back to film and just communication more importantly, Um.
Speaker 1: The communication aspect is a lot different on this level
Speaker 1: than it was back in college. We communicated back in college,
Speaker 1: but it's just it's a lot more here. Um. And
Speaker 1: it definitely you know, gives your leg up to go
Speaker 1: make place. Um, so I definitely you know, credit the
Speaker 1: film study. But the communication amongst the guys. Now you
Speaker 1: said the communication is a lot more here. Does that
Speaker 1: mean pre snap? What's going on out there? Actually, I'd
Speaker 1: say pre snap and then as a play is going on, Um,
Speaker 1: if you can you know, if you can hear it,
Speaker 1: you know, so you guys we're actually talking one of
Speaker 1: the players going on. I mean, yeah, just hopefully if
Speaker 1: you can hear. I mean, you still gotta know what
Speaker 1: to do. Something happens. But um, a while the play
Speaker 1: is going on, absolutely were communicating one back and forth
Speaker 1: to each other. What's David Harris huddle? Like, uh, you
Speaker 1: know Dave's Dave commands that huddle. Um, you know, he
Speaker 1: gets a call out to is, gets everybody lined up, um,
Speaker 1: checks and adjustments. You know, I'll go through him, and
Speaker 1: you know, playing with him is like it's really cool.
Speaker 1: I'm just seeing it. I'm experiencing it firsthand. And but
Speaker 1: you know I'm also learning from aspect, you know, to
Speaker 1: also be able to be at that level where you know,
Speaker 1: we could just rattle off adjustments and all that, um,
Speaker 1: just to be able to get to that one day,
Speaker 1: so I'm shot. Before the adjustment Sunday, you played kind
Speaker 1: of a stationary quarterback. Now you're gonna go against a
Speaker 1: guy who can move a little bit, Like what what's
Speaker 1: the key to making sure that you keep him where
Speaker 1: he needs to be? Because if he runs outside containment,
Speaker 1: you can be running forever. Somebody's band just playing. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna be up to the year. By that, I mean,
Speaker 1: I think it's just as a defense if you know,
Speaker 1: everybody does a job, um, you know, just keeping leverage
Speaker 1: and everything, and everybody wrapping up and tackle and getting
Speaker 1: to the ball. Uh. I don't think we can handle anything, um,
Speaker 1: you know, but that's just gonna become as a collective
Speaker 1: as a team effort. Uh. You know they have their playmakers.
Speaker 1: You know we have ours on defense. So you know,
Speaker 1: just if we go out there next get our game playing,
Speaker 1: I think will be just fun. You're no stranger for
Speaker 1: big games, do you do you like this though, in
Speaker 1: your second professional game, that you will be the game
Speaker 1: in the National Football League Thursday night, and everybody all year,
Speaker 1: peers throughout the league, they're gonna have their eyes on you,
Speaker 1: just like playing in a national championship. Game had the
Speaker 1: last day. Yeah, I mean that's as as you chee.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just talking to all my guys. You know,
Speaker 1: you're go out with school with and it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: how do you play? How do you play? And you're
Speaker 1: just going back and forth about it. Um, it's a
Speaker 1: great feeling and um, you know, just I don't think
Speaker 1: there'd be any pressure. You know, it's got there, you know,
Speaker 1: play my game. Um, you know, I know everybody will
Speaker 1: be watching and guys have already been talking about like, hey, yea,
Speaker 1: how you're going to do Thursday then blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: And I'm just like you'll see. So it was just
Speaker 1: going out there, I'm excited and uh I'm signed to
Speaker 1: go out there and trying to try and get a win.
Speaker 1: That was the point where you just have to shut
Speaker 1: these guys down, like look, look, okay, that's it. This
Speaker 1: is I gotta get ready now, just shut them down.
Speaker 1: Or do you kind of like does that relax you
Speaker 1: there back and forth with your guys. Did you talking
Speaker 1: about situations of it because they know I'm a competitive
Speaker 1: type of person and uh, that's just kind of like
Speaker 1: you know, our banter and you know that's what we
Speaker 1: joke about. Um, and it was crazy because you know
Speaker 1: if you see if one of us get knocked over
Speaker 1: and be like, oh that's all you get knocked over
Speaker 1: something crazy and it's like, uh, it's just like it
Speaker 1: does loosen you up actually, just you know, because other
Speaker 1: people who who care about you don't care about your
Speaker 1: successor watching YouTube and the supporting me. Um. So it
Speaker 1: is a comfort and feeling. How have things gone for
Speaker 1: you on special teams? Oh, special teams are a lot better. Um,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm doing. And as Sam's coach, boy er,
Speaker 1: great coach, um, always talking to him every single week. Uh,
Speaker 1: now that I'm more a little more used to it now. Uh.
Speaker 1: And the conditioning aspect, like I said my first game, yeah,
Speaker 1: so I was talking about his breath a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Well that's he's the feel all the time. Of course.
Speaker 1: But see but and that's the interesting thing for me
Speaker 1: with you is that on the defensive side of the ball,
Speaker 1: you're more controlled. You have to monitor you know, skill,
Speaker 1: nobody you're supposed to be there. Thing especial teams get
Speaker 1: that guy just go, just just go like your hair's
Speaker 1: on fire. So how are you able to make those
Speaker 1: two adjustments. I think you can you can combine both. Honestly,
Speaker 1: you know, uh, you can go play with your hair
Speaker 1: on fire. On defense, he is playing under control if
Speaker 1: you know what you're doing. If you know what you're doing,
Speaker 1: it allows you to play fast, so it kind of goes,
Speaker 1: you know, hand to hand. So I love it on
Speaker 1: both sides of love defense, I love special times ship
Speaker 1: and this guy is very comfortable in front of the camera.
Speaker 1: Of course, his mother was a television anchor in Ohio.
Speaker 1: Now has she moved here to New Jersey? No, she's
Speaker 1: not moved here. I don't think she's going to know.
Speaker 1: She didn't like the traffic, okay, but she's still gonna
Speaker 1: be helping you manage to manage things here? Is you
Speaker 1: get off the ground your professional career. I do have
Speaker 1: to ask you a question about your mom that I
Speaker 1: was reading about. Is this a true story that she
Speaker 1: called out the great Verne lun Quest for pronouncing your ne? True?
Speaker 1: Is that the Navy game? I believe, I guess so
Speaker 1: absolutely didn't find out about it until after the fact,
Speaker 1: after the game, and um, and then I heard how
Speaker 1: that got heard how he pronounced my name. I was like,
Speaker 1: supposedly you know it is what it isn't me. But
Speaker 1: with her, oh my goodness, you better say all right,
Speaker 1: she can be duff great lady. Absolutely, Mr Lee, thank

Speaker 1: own territory and also in Cincinnati territory, with a strong
Speaker 1: return Jaylen Marshall has done a very nice job. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he did have the long return and his return actually
Speaker 1: was longer than any return the Jets head in two
Speaker 1: thousand and fifteen, and and that's set them up uh deep. Also,
Speaker 1: Lockland Edwards, the seventh round pick from Sam Houston State,
Speaker 1: the Australian and Boomer average more than fifty yards a kick,
Speaker 1: and he pinned the Bengals down there one time inside
Speaker 1: their ten yard line. Um. Unfortunately, there were a couple
Speaker 1: of hiccups there with the kicking game. We saw a
Speaker 1: blocked extra extra point and then uh a couple uh
Speaker 1: there was a missfield goal as well for Nick Folks.
Speaker 1: So the Jets would like to get those things, uh
Speaker 1: taking care of squared away as they had to Buffalo.
Speaker 1: Because you never know what's gonna happen in these divisional matchups.
Speaker 1: Do you think that both defenses might have the opera
Speaker 1: edge at the edge and then the offenses will have
Speaker 1: a big day. So these divisional games, especially early in
Speaker 1: the season, you don't know what to expect. So yes,
Speaker 1: I was really encouraged by everything that brand Lawyer has
Speaker 1: been doing here. Early we saw the special teams have
Speaker 1: a really nice preseason. Jayleen Marshall with the return yesterday, Um,
Speaker 1: and also lock outwards has been great, but hopefully those
Speaker 1: kicking games snap foods are done. Nick Folk, that was
Speaker 1: the first extra point he's ever missed. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: Onto the follows. Let's begin with Ira in Staten Island.
Speaker 1: Are your first on inside the Jets? Hey, Eric, Larry,
Speaker 1: what's happening guys? Yeah? Nothing much? Yeah at rough day, yes, say,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna be like Coach Bowls a short week.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the bills. Um, I listened a couple
Speaker 1: of things to clean up. A lot of thing was
Speaker 1: lost today. Um, Jets are a real good team. I
Speaker 1: mean they went toe to toe with the Bengals. Should
Speaker 1: beat him. Um, it's time to move on to the bills.
Speaker 1: You mentioned ed was he didn't have a great game
Speaker 1: special teams. I think the coverage and your return units
Speaker 1: were both excellent, much improved. And one thing one of
Speaker 1: the keys for me to getting a win Thursday night.
Speaker 1: They tasting a different type of quarterback now just as
Speaker 1: great as a defensive line was yesterday. Dalton pretty much
Speaker 1: you know he sits in the pocket. Kala is a
Speaker 1: different story. And to me, the key. You just had
Speaker 1: Darren Rean. You know, maybe he'll be the guy that's
Speaker 1: gonna be the spy on him. But they have to
Speaker 1: contain Tailor in the pocket. He can't let him extend
Speaker 1: plays with his legs and then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: to receive his shakes loose downfield. So to me, the
Speaker 1: key is keeping contained, boxing men, put freshure on him,
Speaker 1: don't turn over the ball, come home with a win. Well,
Speaker 1: it's a good point all the way around. U. You know,
Speaker 1: we know what Tyrod Taylor can do. The Jets defending
Speaker 1: him pretty well actually in two meetings last year. You
Speaker 1: don't want him to break contain because he can get
Speaker 1: down the field using his legs, picking up first downs,
Speaker 1: and he also likes to throw those deep balls Shady McCoy.
Speaker 1: When I look at the Bill's offense, it's all about
Speaker 1: Tyrod obviously, Sammy Watkins and outside want to see how
Speaker 1: his foot is. I know there's been a lot of
Speaker 1: different reports today. Sammy said that he'll be ready, be
Speaker 1: ready to go Thursday night, and then Shady McCoy. The
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna try to get Shady McCoy the ball,
Speaker 1: not just running it, but out of the backfield and
Speaker 1: pass patterns, and you mentioned it, Ira. Um, you know
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons why Darren Lye is here.
Speaker 1: More speed athleticism at the linebacker position. Um. The Jets
Speaker 1: did a nice job against the run yesterday, but uh,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a different challenge Thursday night. No, of
Speaker 1: course about our Thanks for the call. There's always Let's
Speaker 1: move on to Jack now. Jack is in Marlborough. Jack,
Speaker 1: you're up next. Thank you. How you guys doing good? Jack?
Speaker 1: What's happing? Good? Thank thank you. I was in the
Speaker 1: game yesterday, and the funny thing is, before I missed
Speaker 1: my main point, I quoted you last year at the
Speaker 1: last game of the season when I came from when
Speaker 1: I went to Buffalo for the game, and we complain
Speaker 1: you and I Larry about how poor the special teams
Speaker 1: was yesterday. How much better it is despite the fact
Speaker 1: that the block field goal. But it's such a difference
Speaker 1: between VETU and last year, at least with that main
Speaker 1: my main quote, yeah, thank you. My main concern was really,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't I'm not very confident with
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles being being a coach. I think he's totally
Speaker 1: out coaching these games. I saw last tie in Buffalo
Speaker 1: when Rex Ryan I coached him, and I see it yesterday.
Speaker 1: We play calling, we don't adjust. Well, okay, I mean
Speaker 1: if droughout Rebus, I want his game beat. He's losing
Speaker 1: out on A J. Green. Why is he beating? Why
Speaker 1: you want the double team A J. Green? The other
Speaker 1: the other receiver was not doing anything so one and
Speaker 1: they switched it up to cover him a little better. Well,
Speaker 1: here's what happened in the game. He was you know,
Speaker 1: they knew he was doing a ball to him and
Speaker 1: nothing was done about it. All right, Jack here, I mean,
Speaker 1: thank you for the phone call. But here's what happened
Speaker 1: on on the first play, he was looking for safety
Speaker 1: help over the top and the safety wasn't there. You
Speaker 1: could see Gil Chris pointing. I think to Marcus Williams
Speaker 1: Eric that you're supposed to be back here, and so
Speaker 1: he didn't have the safety help over the top. And
Speaker 1: on the other play, the great, Great May the Great
Speaker 1: cats down the sidelines. I mean, Rebus was right there.
Speaker 1: That cats on the sidelines was excellent. I totally disagree
Speaker 1: with you about Todd Bowls and Casey Rodgers, and you
Speaker 1: can have your own opinion. That's fine. I saw a
Speaker 1: Jets team that was five and five last year, left
Speaker 1: for dead in Houston, go on a five game winning
Speaker 1: streak and then looting in that winning streak was a
Speaker 1: win over the New England Patriots. That was a team
Speaker 1: that went from four wins a year in two thousand
Speaker 1: and fourteen to ten wins. Uh against Cincinnati. Yeah, they'd
Speaker 1: had some good schemes. Uh. The wide receiver screen game
Speaker 1: UH was particularly effective, but there were some bus in coverage.
Speaker 1: Let's see what happens this week against the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 1: I don't agree with you about Todd Bowles at all.
Speaker 1: In fact, asked Bruce Arians what he thinks about Todd
Speaker 1: Bowles and how effective he was as a defensive play
Speaker 1: caller in Arizona. That's just not true when you're looking
Speaker 1: at Bulls as a play caller him and Casey Rodgers,
Speaker 1: I totally disagree with it. Sometimes you don't execute. There
Speaker 1: were times Sunday the Jets did not execute on defense.
Speaker 1: Let's go to building Needing town building up next on
Speaker 1: inside the Jets. Hey Larry, Hey, Eric, how are you
Speaker 1: doing a saving and and Eric? I agree with you
Speaker 1: about five bals. You know, if you look at them
Speaker 1: a rookies yesterday that played Thomas h Lee, Jared Marshall,
Speaker 1: he should had a touchdown, by the way, Marshall for
Speaker 1: the holding penalty. Uh. They all did a great job.
Speaker 1: And of course our punter Edwards, um we I think
Speaker 1: we found our punter for the next few years. He
Speaker 1: has flipped. He flipped uh deal positions a number of times.
Speaker 1: And our special teams was so much improved from last year.
Speaker 1: It's like night and day. And offensive blind did really well.
Speaker 1: And are right tackles, I mean, they're their confidence have
Speaker 1: to be building within themselves saying hey, you know I
Speaker 1: can play this game and I'm a good right tackle.
Speaker 1: And so let's take the positive that we got out
Speaker 1: of yesterday's game and go up to Buffalo and let's
Speaker 1: get a win. Yeah, and you're right, let's side built.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call. And then well, you know, and
Speaker 1: a lot of callers here in New York are gonna say, wow,
Speaker 1: you got that glass definitely half full, and you know
Speaker 1: a lot of folks would say, what are you drinking?
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is the Jets did show a
Speaker 1: lot of good things yesterday. They didn't finish inside the
Speaker 1: red zone. There were some bus in coverage. They lost
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati Bengals team by one point. They had a
Speaker 1: chance to win that ballgame. They can't sit there and say, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: blow an opportunity and let them beat the Buffalo. Let
Speaker 1: them be defeated before they play the Buffalo Bills. I mean,
Speaker 1: bottom line is, you gotta get ready to play Buffalo.
Speaker 1: And uh I was encouraged by a lot of things
Speaker 1: uh I saw from the Jets on Sunday, Hey, Jeff fans,
Speaker 1: it's time to see Okay with the j E T.
Speaker 1: E S. Together with the Institute of Calling their Education,
Speaker 1: they Chase joined us for a series of theme cooking
Speaker 1: classes for this season's line up. Visit I see E
Speaker 1: DOT E d U slash Jets. You know what. In
Speaker 1: the minute we have left, Derek, I wanna talk a
Speaker 1: little bit more about what you can expect from Buffalo
Speaker 1: and what we can expect from Buffalo's defense against the
Speaker 1: Jet offense. Well man pressing outside, you're gonna see You're
Speaker 1: gonna see Darby and Gilmore get after Brandon Marshall and
Speaker 1: Eric Decker and the Jets. This is gonna be a
Speaker 1: fun matchup and it's worthy of prime time because for
Speaker 1: my money, I think this is the best wide receiver
Speaker 1: dual in football, and this is the best young cornerback
Speaker 1: pair in football. And then Rex, we know what he's
Speaker 1: gonna do. He's gonna mix it up overlaw Blitz sometimes
Speaker 1: sometimes play back in coverage. Like Quincey said when he
Speaker 1: joined us, Larry is that you're gonna see totally different
Speaker 1: looks from Rex all the time. And it's a it's
Speaker 1: a cat and mouse game. This is a prideful guy
Speaker 1: who's defense and not played very well. Last year. They
Speaker 1: played very well against the Baltimore Ravens, gave their team
Speaker 1: a chance at victory. The reason why the Bills are
Speaker 1: all one is they got nothing out of their offense,
Speaker 1: but the defense played well. Partners, See you next week, alright,
