Of course, this Sunday, 6 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: Jets Falcons at the midway point of the regular season, 7 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: the Jets trying to climb to five D, trying to 8 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: snap a two game slide here at Mattlife Stadium. E A. 9 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: We have a great show today. We're gonna bring in 10 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: d Orlando ladban are also known as d let Down 11 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: from the Atlanta Journal Constitution. And then of course Chad 12 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: Pennington has always e A the Falcons. Okay, everyone knows 13 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: last year NFC champions, very powerful of fens. Three and 14 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: three so far this year, ironically all in three against 15 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: the a f C East, and the Falcons are playing 16 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: each team in the a f C East in consecutive 17 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: war so the last four weeks will come against AFC 18 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: East opponents after this Sunday. So last week against Miami, 19 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: one of the big teams as penalties right, twelve penalties 20 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: against the offense. We all know what happened, how did 21 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: the Jets go about fixing it? And how significant our 22 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: penalties against this offense that is top ten in the 23 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: league right now. Well, Todd Bowles talked about it that 24 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: they've already been doing some stuff at practice. I think 25 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: they'ing a conference calls earlier this week. Leonard Williams said, 26 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: I gonna do if I run Gasters or something like that, 27 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: and you know want to uh, you know, hey, un PC, 28 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: So it makes us really party should not get penalt league, 29 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: and you know that lead to the game. And then 30 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: Todd Bowles is asked about it. He's not gonna be 31 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: too specific about it, but this is something I will 32 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: actually write in my storylines piece this week, is that 33 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: the yellow has Todd Bowles seen red. That's one thing 34 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: that he's not gonna put up with from his team 35 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: that over a hundred yards and penalties against the Dolphins. 36 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: They now lead the NFL as far as penalty yardage 37 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: marked against them. So they're gonna be doing different things 38 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: that practice this week. They already have officials out there 39 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: as you know greens. That's something saw throughout the spring 40 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: and training camp. But I would anticipate the Jets being 41 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: a much more disciplined crew this week against Atlanta. To 42 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: your question, yeah, listen, you can't give this Atlanta offense 43 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: that is his hit kind of a bump in the road. 44 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: They did not play very well against New England, move 45 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: the ball at times, couldn't finish. You can't give them 46 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: extra opportunities. That's what penalties ultimately do, is they give 47 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: free yardage and they give extra opportunities. Matt Ryan, while 48 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: he's not of the numbers he had last season, he's 49 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: still a terrific quarterback. We think about Julio Jones and 50 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:12,119 Speaker 1: Mohammed Sannu. I love the running Backstamante Freeman and Tavin Coleman. Conversely, 51 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: I really like a lot of the things the Jets 52 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: are doing on both sides of the ball, and I 53 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: thought they were fantastic against the run against j Ji 54 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: last week. He's talked about Matt Ryan and that he's 55 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: not putting up similar numbers to last year when he 56 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: was the m v P of the NFL. Last year, 57 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: he threw seven picks in the entire season through seven weeks. 58 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: Eight weeks, he's thrown six picks, so clearly not on 59 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: the same page. Maybe it's attributed to the new offense 60 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: with Steve Sarkisian because of course Kyle Shanahan now head 61 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: coach of the San Francisco forty Niners, and bringing in 62 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: one more theme from this Miami game looking forward is 63 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: the killer instinct, and Coach Bowls immediately after the game says, 64 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: at some point we got developed from what does that 65 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: mean to you? And how do you think the Jets 66 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: go about fixing it? Just me is finishing it means. 67 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: So if you're an offense and you've got to lead 68 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, and you played really well throughout 69 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: the game, and you're John Morton, who has been phenomenal 70 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: for this team, you know, the one thing that he's 71 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: gonna be disappointed about in his unit is that they 72 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: weren't able to get any first downs. They had one 73 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: first down on the fourth quarter with the lead mad 74 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: fote in Elevin yard Broun. Conversely, defensively, we can go 75 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: back and look at some of the penalties. Uh you know, 76 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: there were some penalties on those drives and they were 77 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: giving up uh short possessions that lead to touchdowns. But 78 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: as Damario Davis said, hey listen, yeah, sometimes they're gonna 79 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: be in scoring territory, but you have to prevent touchdowns. 80 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: You make them kick field goals, and then you'll be 81 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: able to hold on to a fourteen point lead or 82 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: build upon it. I think ultimately, green's when you're up fourteen, 83 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: that's not thinking how do we get out here and 84 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: start the bus. It's more along the lines of how 85 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: do we put another touchdown on the board before we 86 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: check in a d lead. We can't leave this our 87 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: taste in the mouth of Jets fans, so let me 88 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: ask you, this is what did you like from Sunday's game? 89 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: Because there was a lot of good to pick Oh 90 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: my god, there was so much to like. Again, I talked, 91 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: we talked about more in each and every week. The 92 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: screen game was fantastic. Um. The Jets capitalized on takeaways. 93 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: They two takeaways. They finished with fourteen points. Yes, I know, 94 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: the one drive was one yard or two yards. But 95 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: then you got to give the defense a lot of 96 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: credit because they stopped the run. I thought they were 97 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: better getting after the quarterback and they came up with 98 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: the takeaways. How about Jamal Ams with the blitz the 99 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: deflection and Mohammad Wilkerson with the interception. I thought that 100 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: was more Wilke's best game in two thousand seventeen. So 101 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: that's another another encourage on his birthday. On his birthday birthday, 102 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: Marcus May was he was excellent. He's all playing in 103 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: the run. He had the reception, he might have had 104 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: another one. There's a lot of things you can look at, 105 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: but you know, right now the Jets are about cleaning 106 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: up the stakes looking ahead to Atlanta, and I anticipate 107 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: they'll have a better performance for sixty minutes this week 108 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: at My Life Stadium and whatever the Jets take, whatever 109 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: they eat the morning before they play, J J I. 110 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: It's phenomenal because Gi got stuffed this game. He had 111 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: twenty three carries for under fifty yards. That's an average 112 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: of had just over fifty yards, right, so, and then 113 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: he had that first game was eleven carries, sixteen yards. 114 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 1: JG I. He's gonna be happy he doesn't have to 115 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: see the Jets again this year. All right, Greens, let's 116 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: bring in d Orlando Lead better better known is d 117 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: Lead down there in the a t L. He covers 118 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: the Falcons for the Atlanta Journal Constitution for a long 119 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: time during his illustrious career. Uh d lad You wrote 120 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: the other day that the Falcons had a team meeting 121 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: following a loss to the New England Patriots, their third 122 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: CONTs secutive loss. What kind of issues were aired out 123 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: between the players? Well, you know, just the they're playing hard. Uh, 124 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: there's no there's no issues there with regards to the 125 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: effort that's being put out on the field. But they're 126 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: not executing in uh, you know, an elite way. They're 127 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: not playing like they did last year. Uh. You know 128 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: there were some uh issues with regards to you know, 129 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: play calling, but you know they don't care about what's called. 130 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: They want to execute. You know, the you gotta block 131 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: field goal, you gotta miss still go you got uh 132 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: you know you're moving the bar between the thirties and 133 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: not scoring in the red dog. You know, they got 134 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,559 Speaker 1: a lot of issues so that they had to clear 135 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: the air, uh try to get this season turned around. 136 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: De led what do you from your advantage point, what 137 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: do you think is the biggest difference between last year 138 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: and this year? Because when you look at this Falcons team, 139 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: they started three and oh and then the last three 140 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: games they've lost three of them, ironically, all three against 141 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: AFC East opponents. Yeah, no question about it. I think 142 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: they started off okay up um, you know, uh could 143 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: have lost Chicago and Detroit games could really be one 144 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: in five right here. Uh. But you know what I 145 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: don't think they were ready for was the fact that 146 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: every team, even if they had been playing in Cleveland Browns, 147 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: every team was gonna come at them hard. By getting 148 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: to Super Bowl, they had the attention of every team 149 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: in the league, and they, you know, have gotten everybody's 150 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: best shot. And so they've had to be on top 151 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 1: of their game here early. And it's pretty clearly that 152 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: they're struggling offensively, uh, to score points and in the 153 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: red zone, and the defense is struggling to get off 154 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: the fielding third downs. They didn't have any clue on 155 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: how hard it was gonna be with everybody coming at you, 156 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: you know, with their guns blazing. Kyle Shanahan did a 157 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: phenomenal job there, obviously earned his new position with the 158 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners. Steve Sarkisian is now the offensive coordinator. 159 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: What's been the biggest difference that you see with the 160 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: new play caller? The biggest differences he didn't learn from 161 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: the mistakes of Shanahan. You know, he thought he could 162 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: just put the same thing back in place and go 163 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: with it. And uh, you know, they didn't run the 164 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 1: ball in the Super Bowl and third and one because 165 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: they didn't believe they could power the Patriots. And they're 166 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: still throwing the ball on third and short and trying 167 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: to finesse thing. Third and one against Buffalo, they throw 168 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: a path four from one. They throw a path against 169 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: the against the uh Patriots last week they try to 170 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,839 Speaker 1: just sweep on the one yard four from doll. That's 171 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: just ridiculous. So, uh, you know, some of these players 172 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: might have worked in college, but not in the NFL. 173 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: Sometimes you gotta load it up and go at people 174 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: and the shortyard the situation is walking down the offense 175 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: in the red zone. Do you think when you look 176 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: at this offense and you've been covering this team for 177 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: a long time, I see a talented backfield with DeVante 178 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: Freeman and Tevin Coleman, do you think they need more 179 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: balance going forward? Oh yeah, no question about it. Because 180 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: they have the ability to exploit linebacker. They have the 181 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: ability to get out in space and make the kitch 182 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: make a move and then that's gonna open up things 183 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: for Julio Jones and Taylor Gabriel if people have to 184 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: come up and guard them, but you know they didn't. 185 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: They've gotten away from that in the last two games 186 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: for some reason. I haven't been able to get their 187 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: backs isolated on the on the linebackers. And uh, you 188 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: know the runnings there, the numbers look good there. Do 189 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: they need to run it more? Perhaps on the defensive 190 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: side of the ball. What sticks out to me is 191 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: the speed on the Falcons defense. So if you're the Jets, 192 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: what area of the defense do you think they should 193 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: be trying to attack the Sunday Well, the last two teams, 194 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: Buffalo and New England ran the ball right up between 195 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: the A and the B gap. They didn't even bother 196 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: getting outside, uh, because they were able to just go 197 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: downhill and get the guards up to the smallest linebackers 198 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: and create gaping holes. The Falcolms gave up a hundred 199 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: sixty two to to New England, a hundred seventeen to 200 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: the Jets. Uh, we're not a hundred thirty eight to 201 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: Miami and hundred seventeen of Buffalo. So the last three 202 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: teams of rush rover a hundred yards against them that 203 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 1: does two things. That keeps the Balcon's offense off the 204 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 1: field and that wears down that Balcon deepfense that looked 205 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: to be like a formula to beat the Falcons with, 206 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 1: you know, more Porte and Balao pile all those guys 207 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: that should be ready to go. This week, we're talking 208 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: to d Orlando Leadbetter, who covers the Falcon for the 209 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: Atlanta Journal Constitution. You can follow him at d or 210 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: at d Orlando a j C. H. D. Lead On 211 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: the other side of the ball, how we have teams 212 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: gone about trying to uh contain the Falcons offense? Because 213 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: we were flying back from Miami. I looked at the 214 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: score of that New England game and I was surprised 215 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: that they weren't able to put more points on the board. Um, 216 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: we talked about the play calling, but how I have 217 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: teams tried to attack this Falcon's offense because they haven't 218 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: been putting up the numbers that were accustomed to. Yeah, 219 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: no doubt. It all starts with taking away Julio Jones 220 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: and uh a lot of teams have done done that 221 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: or tried to do that. He had his first touchdown 222 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: last week at garbage time. So the Bathings haven't done 223 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: a good job of trying to move him around out 224 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: and get him, you know, into different spots and places 225 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: for for for uh, some targets. He did get a 226 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: lot last week, but like I said, that the game 227 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: was you know, decided by then you can get him going, 228 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: then you know you slip it to the running backs 229 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: underneath that and uh, you know a lot of the 230 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: stretch runs and the outside zone runs that Kyle Shanahan 231 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: built the offense on, Sarkisian hasn't been running those because 232 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: he gets you know, if he doesn't get one, you know, 233 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: you gotta stay with it. You gotta stay with those 234 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: outside zone runs until you pop one and then you bam. 235 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: You come back around with the uh, with the rollouts 236 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: and the bootlegs and and bring who you across the film, 237 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: try to hit him deeper tight ends underneath. He hasn't 238 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,719 Speaker 1: stuck with this rollout plans and his outside zones like 239 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: Kyle would. You know, he wouldn't. He he didn't care 240 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: if you stopped to make times He's gonna run to 241 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: Freeman Bus the ninth one and Uh, Sarkisian's giving up 242 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: a little too early on those outside zone runs. That 243 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: you know, wear down defenses and get the defensive lineman tired. 244 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: So maybe we'll see that here on Sunday when they 245 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: played a Jet Dlatt. I think everyone knows about Julio Jones, 246 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,479 Speaker 1: but what do you think of the supporting cast around him, 247 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: like Mohammed san New, Taylor Gabriel and Austin Hooper. What 248 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: have you seen from those guys this year and what 249 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: do they need to do to help out this Falcon's offense. Yeah, 250 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: well Mohammed's and knew you know, he came here with 251 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: the reputation of you know, dropping too many pauses Cincinnati 252 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: and then last year he caught everything that came in away, 253 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: so he needs to get back to that. Hooper is 254 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: the second year guy who you know, showing some signs 255 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: that this might be a little too big for him. 256 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: You know, Hea had a drop against Miami and they 257 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: didn't want to talk to the media about it. You know, 258 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: powdered like a kid for a couple of days. So hopefully, uh, 259 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: you know, he did graduate early from college, so I Hopeully. 260 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: I'm not being too hard on him, but he needs 261 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: to grow up. Taylor Gabriel had a Lord Legg and 262 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: you're he's a smartish slot receiver guy. He's never gonna 263 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: carry you anywhere, but you know when when you throw 264 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: it to him, you want him to make some plays 265 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: in space. So I like the group. It isn't changed 266 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: from It's the same group they wrote to the Super 267 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: Bowl with last year. And uh, you know, just the 268 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: functionality of it seems to be a little bit off 269 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: off pace defensively, What players have you liked here early 270 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: this season on that Atlanta defense Greens and you talked 271 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: about the speed before. Who's popping out at you defensively? 272 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: And who's gonna have to play well against this Jets 273 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: offense that is, you know, getting into game study right now. 274 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: They feature a number of different players. It's not like 275 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: they have a traditional number one, number two option. Josh 276 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: mccollins through the seven receivers last week and they're using uh, 277 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: three running backs in the backfield right now. Yeah, and 278 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: the Falcings know about but Uh and Curly and Kurts. 279 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: They know about Curts in the Seattle connections. But yeah, 280 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: the guy really like on the Beckers defense, I think 281 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: they need to build two more things around him as 282 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: the but Andre Campbell, the second year strong side backer 283 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: from Minnesota. Saw him come off the blitz the last 284 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: two weeks and light up Brady and uh he had 285 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: to pull off a cutler. But he's doing well. Beasley's 286 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: rounding back in the form he's been playing with a hamstring. 287 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: He should be ready to go and attack the pastor 288 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: this week. Dion Jones can have been a kind of 289 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: disappointment for me. But the middle linebacker, I really thought 290 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: they built the defense for him to shine. But now 291 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: that they're running, people are running the ball on him. 292 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: You know, I'm a little bit Uh, I want to 293 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: see him step that thing up. He had eleven tackles 294 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: the last two weeks. But uh, you know the run defense, 295 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: stopping a run defense for me starts with that middle linebacker, 296 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: and uh, you know they were getting away with planning 297 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: two hundred thirty pile middle linebacker and uh teams, Eventually 298 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna test, and we're seeing that test and going 299 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: on right now. It's way too early to call this 300 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: a must win game, but for Atlanta to get to 301 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: where they want to go? How critical is this ballgame? 302 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: Coming up? After a three and all start, Now they're 303 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: in a three game slide. They're coming to uh to 304 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: a Jets team that has played while at home. I 305 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: know a lot of external pundits didn't think much of 306 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: the Jets before the season, but we know they've become 307 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: a tough out. But as far as this Atlanta team 308 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: is concerned, d lad Um, how critical is this one 309 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: on Sunday? Yeah, it's very critical. And you know, Todd 310 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: Bows must be commended for getting this team uh to 311 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: play so hard when they let all of their veterans 312 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: go and so forth. But we know about that. But 313 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: Atlanta is very critical because you know, Carolina sit up next, 314 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: then you got Dallas, uh, you know, so so they 315 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: two teams that are you know, supposed to be fighting 316 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: for the playoffs in the NFC. So whenever you're on 317 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: the slide like this, you need to get a stop. 318 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: You're good feeling back in that locker room, get things 319 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: turned around, moving in the right direction, and you know 320 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to do the one game at a time, 321 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 1: march here to uh, you know, be whatever they're gonna 322 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,479 Speaker 1: be this year. They're gonna be the A and eight 323 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: falcon you know, be to be that uh be disappointing 324 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: for the folks around here. After last season. UH, and 325 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: I'm sure that would being going some changes, but a 326 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: few of the leven and five Falcons get there in 327 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: some kind of way, and UH needs to start this week. 328 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 1: They found out how tough is um, how tough it 329 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: is to be a champion, even in the conference champion, 330 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: and UH, if they're going to UH get back to 331 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 1: the playoffs, they're gonna have to elevate their playoff across 332 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: the boot. You can follow him at d Orlando ah 333 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 1: j C at d Orlando Leadbetter, who covers the Falcons 334 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: for the Atlanta Journal Constitution, have a great trip ups 335 00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: here over the weekend, and UH we'll see uh in 336 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 1: the MetLife Stadium press box on Sunday.

You know, 339 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: this team is going to be looking forward to getting 340 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: back on the field and in the win column, and 341 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: they're gonna face the feisty Jets team. When you look 342 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: at their offense, as d led said, a lot of weapons, 343 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: but they're still trying to get into a groove, into 344 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 1: a rhythm with Steve Sarkisian and Julio Jones, you know, 345 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: debatably the best receiver in the NFL. Spart Scott said 346 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: this week he's the best receiver now, all right, so 347 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: let's say he's the best receiver in the NFL, per 348 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: Bart Scott, Julio Jones only has one touchdown catch on 349 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: the year, and that was last week against the Patriots, 350 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: which was a phenomenal catch, by the way, Yeah yeah, 351 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: but it was still a phenomenal catch. And so I 352 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: know Julio has been nicked up. Mohammed Sanu, the former 353 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengal, he was nicked up. He missed a game 354 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: or two with an string injury. And the thing that 355 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: stuck out to me is that de Lad said the 356 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 1: Falcons could really be one in five and against the Lions. 357 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 1: Close victories over the Lions in Chicago too, and and 358 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: that that's just I know, probably a lot of people 359 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: will point to the Super Bowl hangover, you're up three, 360 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: you lose it, But I don't think that's the theme here. 361 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 1: I think it's and we'll touch on this with Chad Pennington. 362 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: I think it's just more of a connection on this offense. 363 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: Maybe Kyle Shanahan meant a little more to the offense 364 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: and the then the public eye seems to have noticed. Yeah, 365 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: you know, here's something I didn't recognize or realize until 366 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,360 Speaker 1: doing some pregame study this week. Is Atlanta started four 367 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: and three last year. That's something I did not know. 368 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: And obviously they got hot. So this is a team 369 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: that can get hot. I like playing them outside in 370 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 1: your building. I know it's unseasonably warm right now up here, 371 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: but I'll take my shot up here at Montlife Stadium 372 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: in front of the green and White crazies, um, you know, 373 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: because they're gonna make it more difficult for Matt Ryan. 374 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: I think that is a different offense, a different team 375 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: inside the dome. I think the Jets. I think the 376 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: Jets have to get into a lead situation this week 377 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: because then you can do anything, because Atlanta's defense is 378 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: built on speed and get into the quarterback and the 379 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: old Indianapolis Indianapolis model, right with Peyton Manning. You play inside, 380 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: you play fast, you get a lead, and then and 381 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 1: then you let those edge pass rushers get after the quarterback. 382 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 1: All right, Greens, let's bring in an art quarterback Jeff Pennington. 383 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: Chad Jets coming off heartbreaking loss in Miami where they 384 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 1: had fourteen lead, couldn't hold on to it. The Dolphins 385 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: come all the way back for win. When you were 386 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: looking at the film with the fourth quarter, can you 387 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: pinpoint the problems on both sides of the ball, Eric, 388 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: I think defensively throughout the whole game, I think the 389 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: Jets secondary lost those man demand one on one matchup battles. 390 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: I think that's where the game was one for Miami, 391 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: was that there perimeter players, meaning their secondary I mean 392 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: their provide receivers and running backs and tight ends won 393 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: those one on one matchups where the Jets defensive lost 394 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: those matchups. That's I really believe that um and I 395 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: think that's that's what ultimately determined the game, where those 396 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: one on one matchups. And you hear coaches talk about 397 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: that all the time, and so when you play a 398 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: lot of man and pressure like the Jets were doing 399 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: in that game, you've got to be able to win 400 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: those one on one matchups and and that that's what 401 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: you're banking on. And the Dolphins won those matchups and 402 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: the Jets did not. Offensively, I think that the game 403 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 1: plan was another really good game plan. That's what's so 404 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: hard about these losses here is that there are some 405 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: really good things going on. You're watching some really good football, 406 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: and in most instances you should watch a winning result. 407 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 1: But when you have a losing result after a lot 408 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: of really good things that should make up a winning result, 409 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: I think it makes it even tougher to swallow. And 410 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: so that's what's concerning right now is that with a 411 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: lot of these really good things going on, losses are 412 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: still being posted and that's what has to be rectified. 413 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 1: How important is that when you have a lead two 414 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: not necessarily score, but get a first down or two 415 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: because a field position in the fourth quarter. I think 416 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: this is an underrated facet of what happened there on 417 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: Sunday because the Jets weren't able to get any first down. 418 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: So conversely, as you know Miami and Matt Moore, who 419 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: got hot as the game went on, he was working 420 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: with short fields. Well, no question about it. I mean, 421 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: that's that's one of the hardest things as an offense. 422 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: When you have a lead, um you're in a catch 423 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 1: twenty two, You're trying to protect the lead, but also 424 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: the aggressive enough to post the first down to keep 425 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 1: your defense of fulfield, continue to change the field position 426 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: and keep it in your favor. And that's really hard 427 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: to do sometimes. And so I think where first starts 428 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: is your mindset and your attitude, your sense of urgency. 429 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: You've got to make sure that you understand that the 430 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: opponent has a big con sense of urgency because of 431 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: the situation and the only way that you can take 432 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: that away is to max that. And it doesn't mean 433 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: you necessarily have to school points, but you have to 434 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: max that sense of urgency, put some first downs out there, 435 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 1: and keep a field position in your favor. Chad moving forward, Now, 436 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: how difficult of a game like this? How difficult is 437 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: it to put behind you? Knowing that you had a 438 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: fourteen point lead in the fourth quarter. And then a 439 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: second part of that question, Coach Bowles talked a lot 440 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: about this team needs to develop a killer instinct. In 441 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: your opinion, how do you go about developing that instinct? 442 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: And maybe it's just suffering a loss like this, Then 443 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 1: the exactly suffering a loss like this then leads to 444 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 1: developing it because you remember that feeling later down the road. Well, 445 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: I think that's a perfect phrase to use by coach Bold. 446 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: I think that's he's right on the money. It is 447 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: that killer instinct, and that's part of what we're discussing 448 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: the question before. You've got to have a killer instinct, 449 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 1: and you know you have a team on the roads. 450 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: You've got to be able to put him away. And 451 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: it's not about putting them away with extra points. It's 452 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: without understanding the situations in the game and momentum and so, uh, 453 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: this is certainly going to be a challenge. It's gonna 454 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: be a challenge, and to be able to it's not 455 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: necessarily getting over the loss per se, but getting over 456 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: the fact that here you are three and four, you're 457 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: going into the meat of your schedule and the meat 458 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: of the season, and you've let a couple slip away, 459 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: and it's just a different feeling in the locker room 460 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: when you're three and four compared to four and three 461 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: or five and two or even five hundred and so 462 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: back a feeling that really the only thing that takes 463 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: that away is winning. And so that's the only way 464 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: you can get rid of it. You can't talk about it, um, 465 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: you gotta keep your preparations saying that you have to 466 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: find a way to win a football game to get 467 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: that feeling out of your system. Yeah, over the last 468 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: five games, the Jets are three and two. Now. Granted 469 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: they are on a two game slide right now, but 470 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: if you think about it, they've had double digit advantages 471 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: in each of the last five games. Obviously, they pounded 472 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: Miami at home. They had a fourth quarter lead on 473 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: Jacksonville on the fourth quarter, squandered that, but we're able 474 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: to fighting, fighting krawl and get an overtime win. Then 475 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 1: in Cleveland, of course, they had a ton point lead 476 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: late against New England, they had a fourteen point lead, 477 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: and then a fourteen point fourth quarter lead against Miami. 478 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: So I mean the Jets have been more than just play. 479 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: They've been more than just being competitive on Sunday's They 480 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: put themselves in positions to win. What do you like 481 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: most about what you're seeing? As from a quarterback, I 482 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: know you had to be happy about the Jets screen 483 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 1: game on Sunday. Well, that's exactly what I was gonna say. Um. 484 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: First of all, the multiplicity offensively has been outstanding. You 485 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: continue to see all parts of the offense being able 486 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 1: to produce and see success, which is outstanding from a 487 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:37,479 Speaker 1: coaching staff standpoint. Also from a player's standpoint, the screen 488 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: game was phenomenal on Sunday, and really the Dolphins had 489 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: a decent screen game the screen game as well, but 490 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: from the Jets standpoint, the screen game was phenomenal. Uh. 491 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: They've been just very creative and how they're moving to 492 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: football and it's not static football at all. It's it's 493 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: dynamic football, but a lot of things happening, a lot 494 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: of parts that are moving around, and so really from 495 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: a fan perspective, it is fun to watch. And so 496 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: now you're just starving for that victory, to see all 497 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: these fun things that you see happening. You want to 498 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 1: see that turn into a victory. And I think you know, 499 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: when we talk about losing leads, the Pacers game doesn't 500 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: bother me as much because that's an early lead, and 501 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: early lead to me don't matter. You gotta play full 502 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: four cluse. But the lead where you have them in 503 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and you're either turning them into post 504 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: games or you're losing those games, that's that's definitely a concern, 505 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: and that's that killer instinct that Coach Bold was talking 506 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: about that this team has to develop. Moving forward to 507 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: this week, the Falcons come to that Life Stadium. They're 508 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: on a three game slide. But everyone knows that this 509 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: Atlanta team is very powerful on offense. It has a 510 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: lot of weapons. So if you're from a defensive standpoint, 511 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: how do you first go approaching this Atlanta offense? What 512 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: do you try to limit? First? Well, I think it's 513 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: more just about the Jets defense and not necessarily about 514 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: the Atlanta's offense. I think that you know multiplicity and 515 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: their coverages, multiplicity and what they're doing down after down 516 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: to provide as many looks as possible and continue communicating 517 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: with each other will be the key to success. Um. 518 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: I think you know quarterbacks like Matt Ryan and Tom Brady, 519 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: if you just give them the steady dose of the 520 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: same thing all the time, Uh, they're eventually going to 521 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: figure that out and they're gonna find a way to 522 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: punt through. And so you've got to be able to 523 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: mix things up. You've got to be discmversatile on defense 524 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: as you are on offense, and and you know you're 525 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: gonna take some once here there. But as far as 526 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: eliminating the big play and when they do get into 527 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: the red zone, being in on tame those touchdowns in 528 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,479 Speaker 1: the field goals, that's really really important. And if they 529 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: can do that defensively, Uh, they'll have a chance. Uh. 530 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: You know, obviously Atlanta's offense is not as successful as 531 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: it was last year. Right now, at this point in 532 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: the season, they're struggling a little bit. They're struggling find 533 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: ways to get Julio Jones the ball from to find 534 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: new identity NFC Saucasian. So they're finding their way too. 535 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: But really, I think Atlantis coming into this game feeling 536 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: like they can right this ship for their season against 537 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: the Jets, And I think the Jets feel like this 538 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: is a game that when people looked at it at 539 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: the beginning of season that the Jets have no chance, 540 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: They now have a chance, and so I think this 541 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: is a game that is certainly winnable for the Jet. 542 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: Mccon's a factory quarterback. He's played a lot of football 543 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: in his fifteen year career. Obviously he's going to be 544 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: very frustrated with the outcome in Miami. But I think 545 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: he's a guy, as we've seen, he's very studying. I 546 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: think he'll be able to move on quick. But would 547 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: you give him any advice right now if you had 548 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: a chance to speak to him, Well, first of all, 549 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: my advice would be, um, you know, eighty percent of 550 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: what you're doing, Josh is outstanding. I mean, he is 551 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: playing really good football. He is playing on a whole 552 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: he is playing winning football. The issue with the Jets 553 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: right now is the margin for era is very small, 554 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: so that other as a quarterback, where you let one 555 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: or two plays become a disaster play, that's what's effecting 556 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: your overall win loss records until somehow, some way. He 557 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: just got to find a way to avoid those disasters, 558 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: that's all. Just find those ways to avoid those disasters. 559 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: Whether it be an interception or turn over, it could 560 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: be so much as a sack that changes still position. 561 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: But for the most part, what he's doing and how 562 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: he's playing, it's been it's been phenomenal. He's doing exactly 563 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: what he needs to do to leave this team. There's 564 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: just a couple of things that he can clean up 565 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: to give his team a better a better chance to win. Yeah, 566 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: he just wasn't able to see that trap coverage over there, 567 00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:00,040 Speaker 1: and by the time he did, it was just a 568 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: second too late as that ball came out and floated out. 569 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: But he counted for four touchdowns in Miami with one 570 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: running TV a sneak and then the three touchdown passes 571 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,479 Speaker 1: and he is off to the second most accurate start 572 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: for Jets passed or through seven games and the franchise's history, 573 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: just a nick behind a guy by the name Chap 574 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: anything Hey the other side of the ball, though, Chad, 575 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: real quick. How difficult is it for Matt Ryan right now? 576 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: You mentioned he's got the new offensive coordinator and sark 577 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: Obviously he was in a lockstep with Kyle Shanahan before 578 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: the ladder took the head coaching position in San Francisco. 579 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: How long does it take for a quarterback with the 580 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: new coordinator after flourishing and in uh with another guy 581 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: and being really familiar and knowing what he is, thank you. 582 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: Very rarely does a quarterback to just hit it off 583 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: immediately with the play caller and the coordinator. Um even 584 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: with Matt Ryan and Shanahan, they didn't hit it off. 585 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: The first year they struggled and in the second years 586 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: when they really came into their own. And the reason 587 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: for that is as a quarterback, you're trying to find 588 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: a way to be in the head of a play caller, 589 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: and as a play caller, you find a way trying 590 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: to find a way to be in the head of 591 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: a quarterback um and trying to get on that same page. 592 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: From a thinking ten point, it really doesn't have anything 593 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: to do with how the plays is called or what 594 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: plays and being put in the game plan. It has 595 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: to do with the thought process. On Okay, coach sarkis 596 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: and called this play on first and ten, What's he's thinking? 597 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: He then calls this same play on thursd and five. Now, 598 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: what's this thinking. It's the same play. That's two different situations, 599 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: And so that takes time to work with each other, 600 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: to gain a feel free each other, to learn each 601 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: other inside mauth on the field and offer field that 602 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 1: plays into the psyche of the quarterback as well as 603 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: the play color. And that's what you're seeing right now, 604 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: as simple as that, as well as the coordinator trying 605 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,919 Speaker 1: to learn the other parts of the Falcon's offense meeting. 606 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: How do I use Julio Jones, how do I use 607 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: the mow, how do I use the running game? What 608 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: do I do to complement the defense? That type of thing. So, uh, 609 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 1: there's a lot of just from a mental process standpoint, 610 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: a lot of teams going on and a lot of 611 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: people are trying to figure each other out, and that's 612 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: why you're seeing that type of result that you have 613 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: with the Falcons right now. Just jumping off that point 614 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: in turn, is how special is what's happening between Josh 615 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 1: McCown and John Morten Well, I agree. I think that 616 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: it's one of these rare circumstances where you feel like 617 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: the quarterback of the coordinator. They as they get it, 618 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: they get each other, and that's a little bit of 619 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: that just luck. Right. I mean, you can't it's hard 620 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: to just match personalities and match that up say yeah, 621 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: this is gonna work for right, and it takes a 622 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: lot of hard work. And I'm sure that they're still 623 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,399 Speaker 1: working on some of those things. But for these first 624 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,360 Speaker 1: seven games, I think you have to really like what 625 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: you've seen from the office to bid both from play 626 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 1: college standpoint and also from an execution standpoint. Like I 627 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: said earlier, you're not seeing static football, You're not seeing 628 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: boring football. You're seeing some really good execution and some 629 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: high level football. And this is just the tip of 630 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: the oxberg. I think it's actually these guys are only 631 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: working with each other let's say four to five months, 632 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: so uh, but it's a good thing to see and 633 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: and it's something that that could certainly be secil we Chad. 634 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: As always, we appreciate your time with afford to speaking 635 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: to you next week. Thank you God Greens. I think 636 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: the key thing that Jed just said is defensively, what 637 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 1: you can anticipate from the Jets this week is they're 638 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,919 Speaker 1: gonna show Matt Ryan different coverages throughout. I think that's 639 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,919 Speaker 1: what you're gonna have to do. That Atlanta passing game 640 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: I consider a vertical passing game. He'll take deep drops 641 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: and try to get that ball down the field. So 642 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: whatever kind of pass rush you can get, whether that's 643 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: the interior or off the edges, good stuff, because sometimes 644 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,439 Speaker 1: he's gonna to take those deep drops. But the Jets 645 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: are gonna have to mix up their coverage just this week. 646 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:15,799 Speaker 1: This could be one of the weeks where we see 647 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of the four safety look 648 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: to cover a lot of ground, especially just because of 649 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 1: the speed of this Falcon's offense. I mean when you 650 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: mix in Julio Mohammed's a new Taylor Gabriel as a 651 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 1: speedster in the slot there that d Lead talked about, 652 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 1: and then DeVante Freeman and Tevin Coleman. They're reliable hands 653 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 1: out of the backfield. I'm not quite sure how often 654 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: either of them are used, but those two guys are 655 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 1: hard to bring down. They both have an average of 656 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 1: over four on the ground for their careers, so they 657 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 1: get downhill pretty quickly. Despite DeVante Freeman's size, he's he's 658 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: pretty powerful And conversely is I'm really looking forward to 659 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,760 Speaker 1: see what the Jets do on offense on the ground 660 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 1: because the Jets recently released Trevar Cadet. That means all 661 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 1: three running backs are fully healthy, Matt Forte, thelalpow Eli 662 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: McGuire and if two out of those three guys really 663 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 1: get going on the ground and you eat up a 664 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: lot of time. And Peter King was in studio and 665 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 1: told this to us when the Buffalo Bills went to 666 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: Atlanta went to the Dome, said they went on an 667 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,919 Speaker 1: eleven minute drive to neutralize the Falcons offense. Matt Ryan 668 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 1: was not on the field, and to be frank, maybe 669 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: that's a formula that the Jets could try to emulate 670 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,800 Speaker 1: on Sunday. It's a good it's a good defense. Atlanta 671 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 1: has a good defense. The thing that jumped out to 672 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,280 Speaker 1: me over the last three games. If they're they're finding 673 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,799 Speaker 1: different ways to lose. You know, you mentioned the way 674 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 1: the Bills came into the new stadium down there in 675 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: Atlanta and they controlled the clock, a ball control offense, 676 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: and then Miami falls behind by seventeen points and comes 677 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: all the way back, not at home like they did 678 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: against the Jets, on the road for the victory. And 679 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:04,239 Speaker 1: then in New England, Atlanta played I don't want to 680 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 1: say desperate football, but they were taking some chances early, 681 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: four downs, things like that in an effort to score 682 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,879 Speaker 1: in some points and it didn't work out for them. 683 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: So they're finding different ways to lose early and their team, 684 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: even though they represented the NFC no Super Bowl, is 685 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: they're trying to find themselves. Bottom line. I think the 686 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 1: Jets continue to find more things about themselves along the way, 687 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 1: and I really think that despite a couple of losses here, overall, 688 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 1: they're playing good football. Before we had out here on 689 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:41,280 Speaker 1: the Official Jets Podcast game preview e A this weekend, 690 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 1: the Jets try to climb back to five hundred. Were 691 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: basically at the midway point of the season here after 692 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,840 Speaker 1: this week, What do the Jets need to do? What's 693 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 1: one or two things that this team needs to do 694 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 1: in order to reach back to five hundred. So it's 695 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,280 Speaker 1: gonna be simple for me. You limit Atlanta the field goals, 696 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 1: You make it very difficult for them inside the red zone. 697 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:08,240 Speaker 1: They had a tough time converted last week against New England. Conversely, offensively, 698 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 1: you continue to finish with touchdowns, you play at least 699 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,720 Speaker 1: even in the turnover differential department, department, and you get 700 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: the penalties down with that. If you can do all 701 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: three of those things, you're gonna be in good shape. 702 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: You'll be a five at the midway point. Once again, 703 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 1: we had d Orlando led Better D lead from the 704 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:36,320 Speaker 1: Atlanta Journal Constitution and as always our quarterback Chad Pennington 705 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 1: Jets Falcons. This Sunday, one pm MetLife Stadium, midway point 706 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 1: of the NFL season. It maybe a little warmer for 707 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: October twenty nine than in years passing. How about this one. 708 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: This is the start of a two games and what 709 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: four or five days for the Jets because they four 710 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: hour rule. It's gonna be like a four hour rules 711 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 1: Sunday in the locker room because no matter what happens, 712 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: the Jets got to turn the page. Because the buff 713 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: Little Bills are coming here the following Thursday night, Color 714 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: Rush Alert, and before you know it, it's going to 715 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: be nine games through the season. So let's see if 716 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,879 Speaker 1: the Jets can take advantage to some Hong cooking here, 717 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 1: get a win, and then set their sights on the 718 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills.
