We got you covered. 10 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: But right now, Jets Dolphins Sunday, one o'clock the home opener, 11 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: the Jets finally playing in front of the green and 12 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: white crowd at Mattlife Stadium after two weeks on the road. 13 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: So he a first off, what are some of the 14 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: things that as Jets team, he's gonna need to do 15 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: that they did in Oakland and transition that success against 16 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: the Dolphins on Sunday greens. This is the eighth time 17 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: the Jets and Dolphins have played in a green and 18 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: white home opener. UH, long time division rivals, and you 19 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: know the fan base doesn't have much love for the 20 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: Fish as Miami comes up here after a season opening 21 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: win out in l A over the Chargers. That's a 22 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: team as continues to find ways to win. That's what 23 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: we saw from them in two thousand and sixteen. When 24 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: you're asking me what they have to build on from 25 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: last week in Oakland, I think they gotta finish. You know, 26 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: we look at the first two games. Obviously the Jets 27 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: have started zero in two, but they've been in those 28 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: ball games late fourteen to twelve with the under the 29 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:58,279 Speaker 1: third quarter in Buffaloe to thirteen last week, late third quarter, 30 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: four minutes left in the black hole, a place where 31 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: nobody gave them a chance. No moral victories, but that's 32 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: a ballgame. And if you had told me that was 33 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: the situation going in it's a one possession game late 34 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: in the third in Oakland, I would have said sign 35 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: me up for that. With all that being said, I 36 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: like where the offense is starting to go, and I 37 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: think they're taking a lot of steps forward. We saw 38 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: them say, hey, we gotta get the run game going. 39 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: They got the run game going a little bit last week. 40 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: Interesting John Morton using the three back rotation is Eli 41 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: McGuire got some work. We're seeing Jermaine Curse and Josh 42 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: McCown hook up quite an here early in the season, 43 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: and then Austin Sofari and Jenkins was on his way 44 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: back as well. But defensively, I think you gotta limit 45 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: the big plays. He can't have so many big plays, 46 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: and the tackling has to be better. Every week in 47 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: the National Football League, it seems like there is a 48 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: star running back you're playing against, and this week no different. 49 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: Green Jets face Lea Shawn McCoy. Then it was Marks 50 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: Shawn Lynch. Now it's Ji, a guy who's a budding 51 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: star in the National Football League. So defensively, the Jets 52 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: have to do a better job against the run every play, 53 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: every single play. Last week, I thought again small steps 54 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,559 Speaker 1: because twenty five carries three point four yards of rush 55 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: versus two explosion carries for ninety five yards and two touchdowns. 56 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: You can't have those in the National Football League if 57 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 1: you expect to win. You mentioned Jagi Now last year 58 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: he was the fifth leading rusher in the NFL, and 59 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: he gets a heavy workload and he's someone that prided 60 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: himself on his strength and he said, I remember this 61 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: from last year in the press conference, he said that 62 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: I'm my best in the fourth quarter when the defense 63 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: starts to wear down, that's what really excites him. So 64 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see in Week one for the Dolphins. 65 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: Remember that Dolphins didn't play Week one of the NFL 66 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: because of Hurricane Irma, so their bye week in effect 67 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: was there was the NFL opening week in Week one, 68 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: So they're playing sixteen straight weeks of football. And our 69 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: thoughts are to all the people down in South Florida 70 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: who were impacted by the hurricane, because I know there's 71 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: some Dolphins fans trying to get some football in uh 72 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: this week as they recover and they take their mind off. 73 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: So maybe some some folks are listening to the Jets 74 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: official podcast. So I hope everybody is doing well, doing 75 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: as well as they can. Last week in the and 76 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: the Dolphins season opener in l A against the Chargers 77 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: squeaked out in nineteen seventeen win. But a g I 78 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: had twenty eight carries for a buck twenty two on 79 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: the ground. Now that's not a great average, that's you know, 80 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: I think about three and a half, But twenty eight 81 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: carries is a lot. That means you're controlling a football 82 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: eight times. That means you're controlling the ball, and that's 83 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: keeping your defense off the field. All right, let's go 84 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: down to southern Florida and bring in John Congemmi of 85 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: Dolphins dot Com. John, thank you so much for joining us. 86 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: We really appreciate it. Of course, hope everyone, including yourself, 87 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: is doing well after Hurricane Irma down there. But you know, 88 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: let's talk some Jets Dolphins football because Sunday, of course, 89 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: these two teams meet for the first time in the 90 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: regular season. And first off, I think a lot of 91 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: people from our perspective have questions regarding Jay Cutler because 92 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: he was late acquisition to the team with Ryan Tannehill 93 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: going down and practice and through one game and through 94 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: preseason and what what have you seen from Jay Cutler 95 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: who has been reunited with Adam Gaze. Well, you know, 96 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: I guess the first thing that jumped out to me 97 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: was how well he was able to adapt to the system. 98 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: I mean, when Jay got into building the next day, 99 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: he was on the practice field running no huddle. And 100 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: that just doesn't happen if you don't have familiarity with 101 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: the system, in the in the terminology and the play 102 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: calling mechanisms, and the vast experience he's had with Adam 103 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 1: Gates when he was at Chicago. So it couldn't have 104 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: been a better fit for the Miami Dolphins that Jay 105 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: Cutler on the street, being available and still wanting to 106 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: play number one, and then being able to jump right 107 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: in and take over the reins of a football team 108 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: that feels like they're ready to win and they need 109 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: consistency from the quarterback position. So I thought it was 110 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: that was the thing that caught me on day one, 111 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: and it continued to progress in day two and day three, 112 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: and you you've seen that now in in week one 113 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: for the Dolphins being able to come true on the 114 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: field where he was able to protect the football. They 115 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,559 Speaker 1: went no huddle, they used tempo, They spread the football around, 116 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: although Jarvis Landry caught the majority of the passes. Uh. 117 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: They changed up a little bit in the second half, 118 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: and I think it was they were able to get 119 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: to other things in the playbook because of Cutler's familiarity 120 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: and now being in this system, this system for about 121 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: three and a half four weeks. John, stinking of the 122 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: offensive to the ball with the Dolphins, how do you 123 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,799 Speaker 1: approach defunding this team? Because you mentioned Landry thirteen catches 124 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: that jumps off the page to me and then j 125 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: I G I E. Who got a boatload of Carri's 126 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: last week against the Chargers. With that being said, you 127 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: would figure those guys are going to be featured in 128 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: each and every game plan. So like a team like 129 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: the Jets, do you just say, hey, listen, they're gonna 130 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: get the ball. You have to contain them because it's 131 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: gonna happen because they're going to rely on those guys 132 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: and then take those shots down the field with Stills 133 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: and DeVante Parker. Yeah, I think you have to go 134 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: in if you if you're the Jets, in my opinion, 135 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: you know that Jarvis Landry is going to be a 136 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: focal point for the Miami Dolphins. What do you want 137 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: to do? And maybe you can live with him catching 138 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: six yard passes and he has a good nact for 139 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: breaking cackles, but if you can come up and tackle him, 140 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: you know, maybe you limit the explosive plays and you 141 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: give that to Landry and and you kind of make 142 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: sure that Stills and and Devonte Parker don't beat you deep. 143 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: And with the running attack of JGI, he's going to 144 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: get his carries as well. So the one thing I 145 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: would say, looking at the Dolphins, you're going to You're 146 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: going to get those playmakers involved. Whether those five and 147 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: ten yard past plays turned into twenty yard plays is 148 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: really on the ability of the Jets to come up 149 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: and tackle. Whether jig I, who I think last season 150 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: hadn't extremely uh large amount of yards after first contact 151 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: and he did it again against the Chargers. Whether the 152 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: Jets defense can come up and rally around the football, 153 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: or is Jgi gonna break a couple of arm tackles 154 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 1: and make a five yard run into a twenty five 155 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: yard run. Those are the things that I believe that 156 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: keep the Dolphins offense on the field, and opposing defense 157 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: is scratching their heads saying, we've got guys in the 158 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: right position, but we've got to come up and make 159 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: plays when they're afforded to us. That means tackling people, 160 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: getting off the field on third down, doing the things 161 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: that the normal mechanics of the defense would allow you 162 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, I'm going to turn it over to 163 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: Green's here in a second, but to me, that's the 164 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: key point in this matchup is that the Jets, who 165 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: have not been good at tackling so far through two 166 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 1: weeks and Todd Bull said those mistakes are correctable. Well, 167 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to do it Sunday because the gi 168 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: E and Lantry can kill you with their yards after contact. Alright, 169 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that's that's that's definitely you know 170 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: that will hold true. You know the remainder of the 171 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: season at the Dolphins have success, all right. So John, 172 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: let's defensively speaking, when you think of the defense, the 173 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: Dolphins defense, as you think of a dominicansou down there 174 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: in the middle, and you think of Caeron Wake who 175 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: never seems to get old even though the number keeps 176 00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: going up. But from a secondary perspective, you know when 177 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 1: when you look at the box score from the Dolphins 178 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: Chargers matchup a week of a week ago, you see 179 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: that Philip rivers through for over three yards. So what 180 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: is the state of the Dolphins secondary? Well, I think 181 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 1: right now they want to obviously be able to tighten 182 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: up coverage. I think listening to Matt Burke today when 183 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: they he met with the local South Florida media and 184 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: talking and listening to him, that's one of the things 185 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: they want to be able to correct. They felt like 186 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: in the secondary there was way too much cushion given 187 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: on you know, simplistic ten yards speedouts or a checkdown 188 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: where you you kind of give the linebackers have too 189 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: much cushion, or you don't run with coverage and you 190 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: lose leverage and a guy catches the football where all 191 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: he has to do is turn and run and he's 192 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: got ten yards of green grass in frontal. So I 193 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: think that's the thing the Dolphins, from their perspective defensively, 194 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: want to improve on. They want to tighten up cover, 195 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: They want to close the distance between where the receiver 196 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: is in the positioning of the defensive back or the linebacker. 197 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: Those things need to improve. I think you can see 198 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: that on film. You can watch it when you were 199 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: watching Philip Rivers dissect the Dolphins secondary. He was getting 200 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: rid of the football with quickness. I mean, I think 201 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: the average time was maybe two point eight seconds where 202 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: he was able to catch, look, read it, and throw it. 203 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: So Cam Way Godominant, Sue Andre branch Uh, you know 204 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: guys like that, William Hayes, they didn't have a chance 205 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: to really get Philip Rivers off his rhythm because the 206 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,479 Speaker 1: ball was gone. So I think that that really dictated 207 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: time and space in the back end of the Dolphins 208 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 1: defense as well. We're speaking to John Knjemmy Dolphins analysts 209 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: on the Jets Preview podcast on official Jets Podcasts Not 210 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: Worth John, what do you make of the Dolphins run defense? 211 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: Obviously last season last than the NFL in terms of 212 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: yards per carrying almost five yards of pop. But Week 213 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: one at least we just mentioned the secondary. Uh, you know, 214 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: the other part of that equation was Anthony Lynn, the 215 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: Charger's head coach, said, I didn't like what was happening 216 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: early when we tried to run by Zen Dominkan. Sioux 217 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: was being so disruptive as a five time Pro bowler 218 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: can be at times, and they just completely went away 219 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 1: from the run. So do you think this is an 220 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 1: approved run defense here in two thousand seventeen. I think 221 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: there's still, you know, a question mark out there. There's 222 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: no doubt that the Miami Dolphins did a better job 223 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage against the Chargers, that they 224 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: did a terrific job in the Dominican Sioux was in 225 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: the backfield I think probably three or four times in 226 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: the first couple of series, just shoving guards in the 227 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 1: backfield and finding the ball carrier. I think it was 228 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: Gordon and getting him to the ground. So they definitely 229 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: improved in that area and there was nowhere to go 230 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: but up. You know, it was horrible last season. What 231 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: the Dolphins didn't against the run. They couldn't off anyone 232 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: and they gave offenses a two way go whichever, you know, 233 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: picked your poison, you want to run it, play action. 234 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: Everything was there because of the run. I think the 235 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: Charges ran into problems that they became one dimensional. I 236 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 1: think they had one big run in the in the 237 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 1: day of over twenty five yards, but that was it. 238 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: You know, it was more Philip Rivers catching and throwing. 239 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 1: So I do think guys, the Dolphins defense has improved. 240 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: A fifth round draft choice to having got Chow at 241 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: defensive tackle has been a very consistent a guy. Maybe 242 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: the Dolphins were expecting to play twelve and fifteen snaps 243 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 1: per game. I think that is going to go north, 244 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: uh into the at least the twenties or thirties as 245 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: the season moves along. But you know, the the king 246 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: finds up front the Dominicans who has to be dominant. 247 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,199 Speaker 1: Cam Wake has to force pressure from the edge, and 248 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 1: I think that helps out the linebacking corps that is 249 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 1: in a bit influx with you know, the absence in 250 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: the suspension of Lawrence Timmins. So there's a lot of 251 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: things that have to improve and keep improving on that 252 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: side of the football. But for the first game for 253 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, was any indication they've spent some time against 254 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: you know, offensive runs and doing some things and holding 255 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 1: true to what they're supposed to be defensively, and it 256 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: came came true in Week one for them. I think 257 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: the Jets offense showed a lot of balance against the Raiders. 258 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: They definitely took a big step in improvement from Week 259 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: one to Week two, averaging five yards per carry on 260 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: the ground. Josh McCown has been effective passing the ball. 261 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: He gets a weapon back in Austin's Ferry and champions 262 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: this week. So an interesting matchup when the Jets offense 263 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: is on the field against the Dolphins defense. Let's talk 264 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: about the resourcefulness of the Dolphins and that belief right 265 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: now that's happening under Adam Gates. It seems like this 266 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: team last year was in a lot of fourth quarter 267 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: games they found a way to win, and then here 268 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: on Sunday they start the season that way. What can 269 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: be said for where that uh, that that what Gaze 270 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: is building right now in terms of culture and belief 271 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: that these guys think they're gonna win in a close game. 272 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: Adam Gaze has has built a mindset for this team 273 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: that they believe they're gonna walk out and win every week. 274 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: They feel like they're gonna walk out and win every practice, 275 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: They're gonna walk out and win every press conference. You know, 276 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: everything has changed, it seems like since his arrival, and 277 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: it filters down guys to the coaching staff, you know, 278 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: to the training staff, to the equipments. I mean, it's 279 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: it's not a cockiness. It's just a belief about what 280 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: the work we're putting in is going to lead us 281 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: to victory. And that starts at practice, it starts a 282 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: film study, it starts off the field. Guys are doing 283 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: the right things and if not, you know, they're not 284 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: going to be around. I mean, he basically has two 285 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: rules on this football team. Show up on time and 286 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: play as hard as you can. And they're not that 287 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: of the goal to follow. And I think the leaders 288 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: of this team, when you talk about a Dominican Sus 289 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: and Cam Wake and Mike Pouncy and and guys like that, 290 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: Mike Thomas, They they really have taken the lead in 291 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: the locker room and spread that belief. So I think 292 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: it almost feels it feels for me like a college team, 293 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, it feels like that that excitement, 294 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: that exuberance that you would have. I would think pro 295 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: guys will probably be a little bit happier because you're 296 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: getting a paycheck at the end of it. But but um, 297 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: you know, I just it has that feel, guys, It 298 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: has that feel of there's just an ultimate belief that 299 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: the Dolphins have been in really close games over the 300 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: last year in one game and in the majority of 301 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: those situations, they've been able to find a way to win, 302 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: whether it's by those guys making plays or forcing mistakes 303 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: on other teams, or just being you know, unfortunate situations 304 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: where teams miss a kick. Things have to happen for 305 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: that chain of events to occur, and they've leave that 306 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: through the way that they're working, in the way that 307 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: their mindset is, they're helping those things along. Someone that 308 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: I'm that I want to touch on his DeVante Parker, 309 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: and that he's someone that was the first round pick 310 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, always been kind of in 311 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: the shadow as the guy that has the potential, has 312 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 1: the frame, the talent to be a dominant receiver. Last 313 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: week against the Chargers, you saw that one tremendous catch 314 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: where he plucked the ball over Chargers defender. So is 315 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: do you think that he's finally taking that step to 316 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: become the guy that the Dolphins drafted a couple of 317 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: years ago. He's pretty darn closed. The improvement DeVante Parker 318 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: made in the off season was extraordinary. He looked like 319 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: a different person during ok A s during minicamp, he 320 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: was he was stronger, he was finally healthy Number one. 321 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: I think that's the major contributor to why he's going 322 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: to have success this season. But I also think the 323 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: other thing was he started are taking care of his 324 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: body off the field. I think he was getting more rest, 325 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: he was eating right, he was doing things off the 326 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: field that you have to do when you're a professional 327 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: to set yourself apart um. And he did those things 328 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: and when he came back, he was able to run 329 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: full speed, not just you know, half the time every play, 330 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: and it made him a better player. And I do 331 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: believe going up against Xavian Howard every day, two young 332 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: guys trying to battle, trying to find their way through 333 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: how good they can be in the National Football League. 334 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: Improved both guys. But Davante Parker, I would say, number one, 335 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: he took care of his body and number two, his 336 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,959 Speaker 1: body is now allowing him to make those types of catches. 337 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: John Conjemmy, he can find him on Twitter. He's a 338 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 1: Dolphins analysts. You canna watch him on Miami Dolphins dot Com. 339 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: You also can watch him on ESPN because you cover 340 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: a little college football as well. Last week you wear 341 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: a Nashville ton of see where the Vanderbilt Commodores pulled 342 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: off an upset over Kansas State. So a bonus question 343 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: as we get you out of here, John, does Vanderbilt 344 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: keep a close Saturday against the Alabama Crimson Tide they're 345 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: fighting Commodore's. I don't know, guys, they got a good 346 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: football team, and I do believe that the athletes ad 347 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: Vanderbilt will surprise you. They have talent, especially at wide receiver. 348 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: They have a good running back, a very good quarterback 349 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: in Shermer. But Alabama's got so much talent. I don't 350 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: even know what the spread is, but I would I 351 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: would venture to say Alabama is gonna be in for 352 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: a football game for the first quarter and then and 353 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: then kind of take that one over. John, Thank you 354 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: so much. We look forward to seeing it up here 355 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Hey, thanks guys, thanks for having me, and 356 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: good luck with the rest of the year. All right, Gran, 357 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: it's great speaking to John kN Jemmy, who I've covers 358 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: the Dolphins and then does a little college football. I'd 359 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: love to see Vanderbilt pull off the upset, you know, 360 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 1: I like, you've gone two for two in your upset 361 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: picks the past two weeks. Yeah, so we gotta look 362 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: at the slate later. But Jon K Jemmy a lot 363 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: of great information there. What I take away from what 364 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: he just said was this is a team that has 365 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: a lot of belief. They think every time they walk 366 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: on the field under Adam Gates, they're gonna come away 367 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: with the victory. I thought that was a tremendous point. 368 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: He said that it felt like a college team even 369 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: though the players are getting paid because you're in the NFL. 370 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: They're a bunch of professionals, and you can kind of 371 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: tell that the Dolphins have that swag to them that 372 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 1: they truly do believe that they're gonna win every game. 373 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: But something that I was intrigued about it I asked 374 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: him about it, Conjemmy, is about Davonte Parker, because clearly 375 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: he's a talented receiver who has the frame in the 376 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: bill to be dominant, and he just hasn't reached that 377 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 1: point yet. So I'm very curious to see on Sunday, 378 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 1: Let's say, hypothetically the Jets shut down a JI because 379 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: he's listed on the injury report, but Conjemmi says he's 380 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: probably gonna play. He'll play either way, maybe a little 381 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: banged up. Whatever it is. Let's say hypothetically the Jets 382 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: shutdown a GI. Is is Jake Cutler ready to sling 383 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: the rock around to try to beat the Jets defense 384 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,959 Speaker 1: through the air, And furthermore, do they have the talent 385 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: in the receiving corps to do that. Obviously, Kenny Stills 386 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 1: is a big play threat. He's a he's a vertical guy. 387 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: But so far, through two weeks of the season, the 388 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: Jets secondary has not really let up any big passing plays. 389 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: It's more so been on the ground You're right, they 390 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: haven't let the ball go over their heads. Michael Cradtree 391 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: got nine song in a couple of times last week. Um, 392 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: but yeah, the Jets have kept the pass in front 393 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: of them. Uh. The one thing that Conjemmie did say 394 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: is that you have to tackle with Jarvis Lantry. He 395 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: excels in yards to the catch. It's like having a 396 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: J J. I E basically as a receiver. No, I'm 397 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: not saying he's a running back. My thing is he's 398 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: gonna take short passes and then he's going to break 399 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: tackles if you don't remain sound in your fundamentals. You 400 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: mentioned the passing game. Jay Cutler, he's really familiar with 401 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: Adam Gaze knows the system. Can Jemmy said he was 402 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: running no huddle the day after after having lunch. So, yes, 403 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: they got the deep play targets, and then they also 404 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: have the guys in the gy E and Lantry where 405 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 1: they control the ball. But yes, the Jessa have to 406 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: be cognizant on the outside and not letting the ball 407 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: go over their heads. I've been impressed with the rookie safeties. 408 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: I know it feels like are you forcing it that 409 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: we have to talk about him every week. Well, listen, 410 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: when they make plays, you should be talking about guys. 411 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: And that play by the goal line that Jamala second, Yeah, 412 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: that Jamala Hims made was just shows you his determination, 413 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: his hustle, his athletic ability, his passion for the game. 414 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: He hurdles over a guy, the play is all the 415 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: way on the other side of the field, a couple 416 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: of miss tackles in there, and he comes down and 417 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: takes beast mode down. So you know himself. Yes, you 418 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: have to love what you see from these guys. And 419 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: again each week for them, it's a new challenge and 420 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: for Miami it's you know, I said this in Week 421 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 1: one with the Bills, is that how will Todd Bowls 422 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: deploy his safeties this week? Again because the jay ee 423 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 1: obviously is a weapon, but Cutler can sling it now, 424 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,719 Speaker 1: you know. So it's gonna be interesting in the formations 425 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: and personnel groupings that the Dolphins used. Conversely, on the 426 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: other side, what kN Jemmy said, Hey, you know the 427 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 1: Dolphins got approved that they are an approved run defense, 428 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: and you mentioned maybe some potent chill holes in the secondary. 429 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: I think this is a good defense. It's not a 430 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: great defense. They have some great players, namely the Dominican 431 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: Siou and you know both teams are gonna be juiced 432 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 1: up because this is an an f C East rival 433 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: when you look at it on its face. All right, 434 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: let's bring in our weekly contributor here in the Jets 435 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: Preview podcast, Chad Pennington. Chad Christopher Johnson, the Jets CEO 436 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: and chairman, addressed the media here for the first time 437 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: since taking over for his older brother, and he said, 438 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: one of my old one of my roles here is 439 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: to get into the fan base. That's definitely one of 440 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: my priority priorities this year, starting now, especially with this 441 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: home game, this first home game. Obviously, Rod, for seeing 442 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: the Jets battle with the Dolphins on Sunday, I can't 443 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: say what the perception is exactly. What I hope is 444 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: that this team, this is a team on the rise. 445 00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: Your thoughts, well, I think, um, your first interview, you 446 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: must be positive, and obviously he was UM. And I 447 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: think for him, his approach doesn't need to be at 448 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: the fan base UM, because I wouldn't they could be 449 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: safe to say that from a football standpoint, that would 450 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: not be his strong point. And so being able to 451 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: end his advice and expertise and personality to the fan 452 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: base to keep the fan base and gazes obviously from 453 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,719 Speaker 1: a bit of a standpoint, something that's important. And UH, 454 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: in any organization's got to be able to delegate responsibilities 455 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: and work with the strength that you have and manage 456 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: your weaknesses and let the football people take care of 457 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: the football and let the business side take care of 458 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: the busy side, and working unity together for one common 459 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: purpose and one common goal, and that's trying to put 460 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: a winning product out there. He said he wasn't a 461 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: patient man. He wants to win every game CP and 462 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: he also said, listen, are going to be growing pains here. 463 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: We're playing with a lot of young players. Wants to 464 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 1: develop through the draft and developing players who are already here. Um, 465 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: but his expectation is this team is going to get 466 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: better and better and better. If you're a fan right now, 467 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: what are you thinking? Well, first of all, I think 468 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 1: that you better have patients in this business. UM. A 469 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: lack of patients that does not lend itself to building 470 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: the program. And so UM, even though you may not 471 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: be a patient, patient man, you have to exercise patients, 472 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: especially with how the jet team has been built and 473 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 1: the goals ahead of it. I think that's number one. 474 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: I think number two you have to be able to 475 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: assess improvement without looking at the win lost column. And 476 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: you've got to be able to look an individual improvement, 477 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: look at improvement on both sides of the ball, and 478 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: then looking at improvement of the team and how you're playing. 479 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: And the number one goal is that even when you 480 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: are losing, if your players are still playing hard for 481 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: its coach and your coaches are still coaching hard and 482 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,239 Speaker 1: everybody's moving in the same direction, that's a positive UM 483 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: and that's the first step towards building the culture that 484 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: you want. And so you know, I don't expect coach 485 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: Bowls and his staff nor his players to give anything 486 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: but their best. And but it does require patients because 487 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: it's obvious that you know what has happened over the 488 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: last year so UM with acquisitions and the acquisitions and 489 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 1: things like that, that there has to be some patients 490 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: involved in this process. Something that Christopher Johnson mentioned yesterday 491 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: is that his goal as of now, his first goal 492 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: is to earn the fans trust and you playing in 493 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: front of the green and white faithful for so long 494 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: just from your perspective, What kind of advice would you 495 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: share with Christopher Johnson. Well, I think first and foremost, 496 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: you have to focus on the process and the plane 497 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: you have. Um, you can't ride the emotional roller coaster 498 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: of winning and losing in the NFL as fans, and 499 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: we're going to ride that emotional roller coaster. We're gonna 500 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,959 Speaker 1: be high when the team wins, are gonna below when 501 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: the team loses. And the last people that can do 502 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: that are the people within the building inform park. That 503 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: can't happen because if you do that, you just don't 504 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: provide any consistency when you do that. And you've gotta 505 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: understand and see the long the longer goals and a 506 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: bigger perspective, and so that that's important. You'll like this line. 507 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: He said that, hey, listen, I'd like to return this 508 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: team to greatness. And he said that if we get 509 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl, I'll leave two tickets from my 510 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: older brother at will Call. What do you think about 511 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: that one? Well, Uh, that would consider where uh Wooding 512 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: Johnson is living right now. You probably don't need to 513 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: leave a couple of tickets unless there's going to be 514 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl played in London anytime soon. But you know, 515 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: I think, uh, I think, you know, he has shown 516 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: that he does have a sense of humor and he 517 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: can't keep it on the light side even when you're 518 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: facing some challenges, which is good and keep it mixed 519 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: up and and also being able to remain positive. And 520 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: the great thing about the NFL is it's not like 521 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: a lot of the other professional sport leagues where, um, 522 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: super Bowl champions are built over a ten year period. 523 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of times you can do that 524 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: pretty quickly and have a Super Bowl contending team relatively quickly. Um, 525 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: But now as far as consistency and sustainability and longevity 526 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: and now that takes certain, that takes time. So uh, 527 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,959 Speaker 1: there's good and bad at that. Yeah, I was very 528 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: impressed with him, and uh as something that you are 529 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: always set over the years. You gotta have a plan, 530 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: you gotta stick to the plan, and I think that's 531 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: what the Jets want to do here and Greens wants 532 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: to turn it ahead to actually on the field now, 533 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: so Chad. Obviously, the Jets get a familiar face in 534 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: Austin Sufferian Jenkins back in Week three after serving a 535 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: two game suspension, just what kind of impact do you 536 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: think we'll have on this offense early. Well, I think 537 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: that remains to be seen. I think, um, the offense 538 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: has incorporated tied in especially more than what we have 539 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: been seeing over the last couple of years. And so, um, 540 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: we hope that his presence will make a difference. Um. 541 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: But at the same time, in the West Coast system, 542 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: it's about spreading the ball around and with the vetteran quarterback, 543 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: he's going to uh pick the gal that's open and 544 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: go with those open receivers and being equal opportunity quarterback. 545 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: So you do hope that being able to add another 546 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: veteran player back into the mix provides a little bit 547 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,479 Speaker 1: more stability, a little bit more consistency, um, and may 548 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: be able to even give you a couple of different 549 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: personnel packages and a couple of different wrinkles now an 550 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: extra tight end. So we did see some wrinkles last Sunday, 551 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: you know, with two and three extra linemen in the 552 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: game and things like that. I thought which Morton was 553 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: very creative in trying to spread the ball around, get 554 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: the ball to his playmakers. Um. You know, for the 555 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: most part, the offense was relatively uh they had a 556 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: consistent performance. It wasn't necessarily a winning performance, but there 557 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: were some positive things that were happening on the field 558 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: with some drives and people being involved in the game 559 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: and making place for the team. I'm glad you mentioned 560 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: John Morton. I thought he an excellent game, uh calling 561 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: that ball game in Oakland against the team that he 562 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: started with. He said that he wouldn't be here in 563 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: this position had it not been for a guy like 564 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: Al Davis obviously got to start to his NFL coaching 565 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: career under John Gruden learning that West Coast system. What 566 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: what specifically jumped out at you offensively? You mentioned those 567 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: jumbo packages because the Jets said, Chad, last week, we 568 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: are gonna run the football. It doesn't matter how many 569 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: people are in the box. We're gonna get it done. 570 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,479 Speaker 1: And in turn, they average five yards per carry. They 571 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 1: also went seven of twelve on third down a week 572 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: after going four or fourteen on third down in Buffalo, 573 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: and they got the long ball gone a little bit 574 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: with the curse touchdown. I thought there were a lot 575 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: of pubsitive things, Erica, I really do. I think that, 576 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: like you said, when you look at statistically, you see 577 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: what they're averaging rushing wise, it looked to be a 578 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: point of emphasis to rush the ball at those pass 579 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:37,959 Speaker 1: rushers and run at them downhill, which they did get accomplished. Um. 580 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: Unfortunately for the Jets, the offense got behind a ball 581 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: got down and then that's when you start to see 582 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: the pass rush pick up, because there had to be 583 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: more passing. But when the game was in hand and 584 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: when it was still a ball game, you could see 585 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: that the mix of running pass was really good. Uh, 586 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: the success of the running pass was really good. You 587 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: can start to see him account getting comfortable with your 588 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: main curse. He feels he I think he likes that 589 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: body type and that big presence. He saw Robby Anderson 590 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: have a couple of plays down the field, currly get involved, 591 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: tidings get involved, the backs being involved. Um. So, really 592 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: and truly, although the score was lopsided, there were some 593 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: positive things offensively to really take a look at and 594 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: build upon. And I think the formula is there, and 595 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: the formula is that the defense has to has to 596 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: keep it between seventeen and twenty four points. In the 597 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: offense and got to score between twenty one and four points. 598 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: And if they do that, they can come out on 599 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: the winning side of this. And it's not gonna be 600 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: uh season where you're gonna try to outscore people by 601 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,479 Speaker 1: thirty five, you know, scoring thirty five points a game. 602 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: That's just not the way that the team has built. 603 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: But there still can be some success had and he 604 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: saw glimpses of that throughout the game. Looking forward to 605 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins, now they have a very talented front 606 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: with the Dominican Sue and Cameron Wake who never seems 607 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: to get old. So in order for the Jet to continue, 608 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: you this rushing success, what do they need to do 609 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Yeah. I remember Cameron Rake when he was 610 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: a rookie coming from the CFL Miami and he, uh, 611 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: you know, done such an outstanding job. Well, I think, uh, 612 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: you know, it's a little bit different when you've got 613 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: someone like Sue in the middle compared to playing Oakland 614 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: where they've got pass rushers and you're gonna try to 615 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 1: hammer them a little bit too, to see if they're 616 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,320 Speaker 1: willing to really stand up against the run. We know 617 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: the suit can stand up against the run, so um, 618 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,879 Speaker 1: you know, but on the perimeter, taking those perimeter runs, 619 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,839 Speaker 1: I think mixing in those quick screens. I think it's 620 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: it has to be a steady dose. You've got to 621 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: look at your short passing game as well as your 622 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: running game. You got to combine those two and that 623 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: be your quote rushing attack. Um, you want to keep 624 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: Sue guessing. You want to keep him on the move. 625 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 1: You don't want him just to be able to just 626 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: uh sit in there in the trenches and just control 627 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. You've got to keep him where 628 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: he's got his head on the swim because he doesn't 629 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: know where the ball is going to be. When you 630 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: do that, now he's playing reactionary mode instead of dictating 631 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: the tempo, which I think lends himself to the offensive success. 632 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: So uh, certainly has to be creativity in the running 633 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: slash screen slash shore passing game to control someone like suit. 634 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,879 Speaker 1: All right, two minute offense right now before we flip 635 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: to the defense. Chad Punnington here on the Official Jets podcast, Uh, 636 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: what have you seen from the quarterbacks? I know j 637 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,280 Speaker 1: Cotler just had a game with Miami, but there's familiarity 638 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,799 Speaker 1: there obviously with Adam gaze Man, he has weapons all 639 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: over the place, with a giant in a backfield Um 640 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry, who he targets every other play, it seems like. 641 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,760 Speaker 1: And they got some big play guys on the outside, 642 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: Davante Parker and Kenny Stella's and then Uh, conversely, I've 643 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,919 Speaker 1: been really for us with Josh mccow. I know people 644 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,280 Speaker 1: are gonna say you're seeing things through green colored glasses 645 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 1: right now, but McCown coming in here with so many 646 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 1: movie parts. I think you mentioned the way the Jets 647 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 1: got the ball to a lot of people last week. 648 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: I think seven receivers UH had catches in the first 649 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 1: half against the Raiders, spreading the ball out, and I 650 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: think he's been on time most of the time as 651 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: far as delivery is concerned. I really like what I've 652 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 1: seen out of McCown through two weeks. Yeah, I don't 653 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: think you're looking through the green coat colored glasses at all. 654 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: I really don't. I think that's that's the reality. The 655 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,399 Speaker 1: facts are right in front of you when you watch 656 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:42,320 Speaker 1: Josh play. He's played very consistent. He's been stabilizing because 657 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 1: then he hasn't had any major disasters, and so I 658 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 1: think you you're getting exactly what you ask of Josh 659 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,320 Speaker 1: right now, and what has to happen is that the 660 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: team now has to play better team complimentary football, special 661 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 1: teams defensively and offensively. And if they play complimentary football, 662 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: then I think you'll even see Josh play even better. 663 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 1: But it's it's difficult, Uh. You know, in the first game, 664 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,839 Speaker 1: you get close to fourteen to twelve, and then all 665 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,439 Speaker 1: of a sudden, the next time you get on the field, 666 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 1: you're back down by nine. Um, it's fourteen to ten. 667 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden you're Getty on the field, 668 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: you're down by eleven, and you're down by a team. 669 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's difficult circumstances that from the quarterback 670 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 1: position you did not control. You had no control over 671 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: those things. And so I think he's played within himself. 672 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 1: He's tried not to do too much and done a 673 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: good job of make sure he gets his h the 674 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,760 Speaker 1: ball to the playmakers. Something that it's Todd Bowls mentioned 675 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: is that Bryce Patty last week was the number two 676 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: quarterback Christian Hackenburg inactive. So Chad just wanted to get 677 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: your opinion on that because coach said that Patty would 678 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: be the number two for the foreseeable future. I don't 679 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 1: think it means much it is what it is. I mean, 680 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's they They have enough on film to 681 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 1: feel good about where they are right now. I think 682 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,800 Speaker 1: Bryce proved himself and in the preseason had had a 683 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,360 Speaker 1: decent preseason, gave Christian a lot of reps. Um. I 684 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 1: think that they still look at Christian as a possibility, 685 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 1: but there's still a lot of work to be done there. 686 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: And so who's two and who's three right now? I 687 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 1: don't think you can read into that very much all 688 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 1: but the reps uh won't be there for either one 689 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 1: of them. But when you really think about it, at 690 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,440 Speaker 1: practice was That's one thing that Patty told me in 691 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,879 Speaker 1: the locker room this week, Chad, was that you really 692 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 1: don't get a lot of reps at practice. Conversely, Hack 693 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: has to take those scout team reps and say I'm 694 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 1: going to make the most of them, right. You know, 695 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: That's the only difference is that the third normally takes 696 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 1: most of the scout teamor reps, while the two is 697 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 1: trying to mentally prepare because he's one play away. Um. 698 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,360 Speaker 1: That's that's the big difference, and so um and so 699 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 1: sometimes being the two is a little bit more difficult. 700 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 1: It's definitely more stressful because you know you're one play 701 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: away and you're not getting any reps in practice. But 702 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 1: you know, the notion of thinking that the two gets 703 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,240 Speaker 1: a little bit more ramps because he's the two verses 704 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 1: of three once the regular season coming around, that's not true. 705 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: It's all about the one and making sure he's prepared 706 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: to play. Great point while you are our number one 707 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: quarterbacker in the Jets Official Podcast, yep anything, Thank you 708 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 1: so much again, and we'll catch up next week. Alright, 709 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: great stuff from our quarterback QB one, Chad Pennington has 710 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 1: always but he before we touch on some final things 711 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,840 Speaker 1: here before we let everyone go and get ready for 712 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 1: game day on Sunday just a couple of days. Is 713 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 1: what's your favorite Jets Dolphins memory? Because clearly these two 714 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 1: teams faced twice a year every year. You know it's 715 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 1: on the schedule. There ain't no question about it. So 716 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 1: what's your favorite Jets Dolphins memory? Man? I know I 717 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,479 Speaker 1: put you on the spot there there there's so money 718 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 1: that I have to be there. I mean, the the 719 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: one that always is always going to stand out is 720 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: the Monday Night miracle. Right. I was working with the 721 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,840 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, at the time in the public relations department, 722 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 1: and it was a Nate obviously a Monday night, and 723 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,360 Speaker 1: I had finished work and went out to dinner with 724 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,279 Speaker 1: a couple of staffers. Came home and the game was 725 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 1: thirty seven and the third quarter I definitely remember it, 726 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,759 Speaker 1: or towards the end of the third quarter, and I 727 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 1: shut it off. I shut it off. I got up 728 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: the next morning and start shaving, turned on the radio 729 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 1: and they say the Jets came back on one, and 730 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 1: I said, you gotta be crazy. I just slapping myself 731 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: with water, like there's no way they went. Sounded like 732 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 1: Jon Gruden for a second, gotz man so um, But 733 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 1: there was there was also a time we went there 734 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:42,760 Speaker 1: and uh, the Jets went there and cemented their place 735 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: in the postseason. There's there's so many things stand out. 736 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,320 Speaker 1: I remember a night game when they came here and 737 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,319 Speaker 1: the Jets just ran it down their throat for over 738 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 1: two hundred yards. I think Curtis Smartin went over a 739 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 1: hundred la Mont Jordan went over a hundred. Lavernius Coles 740 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,839 Speaker 1: used to be a dolphin killer. Uh. You know, over 741 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 1: the years, it has been a great rivalry, um, you know, 742 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,880 Speaker 1: and I expect nothing less come Sunday. You, as a 743 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: guy who's been here, only here a couple of years, 744 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: but a Jet fan all his life, do you have 745 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 1: a favorite It's it's funny you mentioned it because I do. 746 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: I don't have a favorite memory, but I have a 747 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:26,279 Speaker 1: vivid memory. Um it was. It was Christmas break in 748 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 1: probably middle school, and I went down to Florida with 749 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 1: my buddy, whose grandparents lived down there, and we went 750 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,320 Speaker 1: to visit his family and we grew up together, so 751 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 1: it was it was nice to hang out. And we 752 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,760 Speaker 1: went to a Jets Dolphins game and it was pouring. 753 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 1: It was pouring down there, and it was an all 754 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 1: It was a low scoring game, and I just vividly 755 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,959 Speaker 1: remember Chad Pennington, you know, jumping off a little screen 756 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 1: pass to Leon Washington in the flat and he took 757 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 1: it down. The Jets kick kicked the field goal, and 758 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 1: that was the decisive points. So that's what I remember. 759 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,439 Speaker 1: That's what sticks out to me. But you know, Jets 760 00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,800 Speaker 1: Dolphins matchups in general have a different kind of juice 761 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,879 Speaker 1: all as do all rivalries. So I think this week 762 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 1: is it'll be a lot of fun this week, especially 763 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 1: when you combine that energy with the fact that it's 764 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 1: the Jets home opener, so I'm really excited for this week. 765 00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:15,400 Speaker 1: But one last thing here on the Official Jets Podcast 766 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,919 Speaker 1: game preview is matchup wise or just in the game 767 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,879 Speaker 1: in general, what is you know, what's something that you're 768 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 1: particularly looking forward to. It's gotta be the Jets defense 769 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:31,239 Speaker 1: against the ji E if the Jets can bottle up 770 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 1: them Ron And I'm not saying hold him to on 771 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 1: their fifty yards. No, I'm not saying that because maybe 772 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 1: he gets attempts. But fun factor real quick. In the 773 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 1: last game the Jets and Dolphins played at Matlife Stadium 774 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:47,240 Speaker 1: last last year, a GI had nine carries for fifty 775 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 1: one yards, so he wasn't turned to a lot. Yeah, 776 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 1: I think I think you're gonna know. You tell me 777 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,360 Speaker 1: right now, the Jets hold the gi E on their seventy, 778 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 1: I say Jets win this game. That to me, that's 779 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,399 Speaker 1: what it comes down to. Uh. Yeah, the secondary has 780 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:11,960 Speaker 1: been exploited on a couple occasions, but again, the point 781 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,319 Speaker 1: I come back to is that the ball hasn't been 782 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 1: going over their heads this year. I like what I've 783 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:21,280 Speaker 1: seen from the young safeties. Uh. Cony Ealy said earlier 784 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 1: this week, we gotta get them in third and longs. Well, 785 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 1: the only way you get people on third longs is 786 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,360 Speaker 1: if you're doing a good job and early down against 787 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 1: the run. I really like what I've seen from the offense. Again, 788 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:37,320 Speaker 1: Jeff Pennington said, I'm not seeing it through my green 789 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: the way. No, I don't. He and Josh McCowen has 790 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 1: been good. He gets another weapon back this week. We'll 791 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,279 Speaker 1: have to see how the Jets injuries all play out, 792 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,920 Speaker 1: because earlier as we can practice with no Mohammad Wilkerson, 793 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,640 Speaker 1: no Brian Winters. But the Coda Dozer did a nice 794 00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 1: job and the Jets emphasized the run this week and 795 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,200 Speaker 1: they got it done. So um to me, that's the 796 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: matchup for you? What is it? Well, you kind of 797 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 1: touched on it right there is I'm really excited to 798 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 1: see a s J, Austin Sephari and Jenkins because throughout 799 00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 1: the whole offseason he's been the story. John Morton comes in. 800 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,359 Speaker 1: His scheme is tight end friendly, a s J down 801 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 1: thirty plus pounds, reinvented himself both on and off the field. 802 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,239 Speaker 1: You see him working every day after practice and now 803 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 1: this is the time what he can when it means something, 804 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,359 Speaker 1: because in training camp, obviously it's just practice there wins 805 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:37,279 Speaker 1: and losses for yourself individually in improving your fundamentals and 806 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 1: catching this and improving X, Y and Z. But now 807 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 1: this is everything that he's done now translates to this, 808 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,080 Speaker 1: and so I'm really excited to see how he plays 809 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,719 Speaker 1: on Sunday. And in addition, I'm excited to see how 810 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,719 Speaker 1: that opens things up for the offense, and maybe that 811 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,399 Speaker 1: opens things up for the running backs, whether it's Matt 812 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,800 Speaker 1: for Table, All Powell or Eli McGuire out of the 813 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,800 Speaker 1: ackfield as a receiver. I'm real intrigued by the presence 814 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,600 Speaker 1: of Austin suffering Jenkins because he was the second round 815 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,840 Speaker 1: pick a couple of seasons ago, and I don't know 816 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,400 Speaker 1: if he's quite reached the level where pundits expected him 817 00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,319 Speaker 1: to be, but now I feel like he could even 818 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 1: surpass that level. So I'm really excited for Sunday, and 819 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 1: just simply put, it's the home opener. I'm excited to 820 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,960 Speaker 1: be there. You know, the crowd should be lively Jets Dolphins. 821 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 1: So that's all we have right now on the Official 822 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 1: Jets Podcast.
