1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: The game is over New York the world. You baten

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 1: to win the day He's got as Jets? What's down? Can't?

3
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Official New York Jets Podcast, a

4
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: Jets three sixty production. What's Off? Everybody? Regular season football

5
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: around the Corner Ethan Greenberg and Eric Allen here in

6
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: studio the Official Jets Podcast e A. I'm throwing off.

7
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: It's been nine months since the Jets have taking the field.

8
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: I've been thrown off by the days. So I keep

9
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: on repeating myself here, but I think today's Wednesday today,

10
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: And traditionally in the National Football League, the players off

11
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: day is Tuesday. But for the Jets, we are taping

12
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday and the players are off today, so

13
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: it's midweek. Everything has been fast and slow at the

14
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: same time, if that may any kind of sense, because

15
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: the Jets won't open up until Monday night. In the

16
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: kickoff is what seven seven seven, ten Eastern and actually

17
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: followed by a pretty good game that we're not going

18
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: to talk too much about. But how about the subplots

19
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: with that one with the l A Rams, the Oakland Raiders,

20
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack on the move, but uh yeah, Green's I

21
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: jumped in on you because you know, I'm looking around

22
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: our studio here and I'm wondering, well, what day is

23
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: it today? And you're looking around because it looks cleaner. No,

24
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: it does look better. It does look better because we

25
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: actually taped Jets Flight Plan in here this week. Bart

26
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: Scott was back and that will be on Sunday Morning

27
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,919
Speaker 1: CBS eleven thirty a m. You can watch Jet Life

28
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: One Jets Drive Spectacular, I would say, the best of

29
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: one Jets Drive from the spring in the summer, you're

30
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: gonna see that eleven thirty pm Saturday night on c

31
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: b S as well. So a lot of exciting things

32
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: happening right now. But yeah, how about that, Greens. The

33
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: Jets open up the season on Monday Night Football. The

34
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: New York Jets were the first team to appear on

35
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football way back in nineteen seventy against Cleveland Brown.

36
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: I actually knew that. I'm really excited about Monday Night

37
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: because it's, like I said, it's been nine months since

38
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: the Jets have played a game that counts against their

39
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: record or for their record, however you want to work it, whatever,

40
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: whatever it is, this team, I know every year. Leonard

41
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: Williams says this, every year, every team is very different

42
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: than the year's past, even though you might not think

43
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: that it's all two different on on the surface, is

44
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: this team is very different than last year's team. And

45
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: so much has happened since January one, two thousand eighteen,

46
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: when the Jets cleared out their lockers in Florham Park

47
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: and front and center. You just look at under center,

48
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: you look at what's going on there is that the

49
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: Jets have officially named Sam Donald they're starting quarterback. And

50
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: he's what the youngest since the a f L NFL merger,

51
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: he will be the youngest since AFL NFL merger in nineties,

52
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: seventy years start a season opener. Uh So that is

53
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: some kind of history right there for you. But for

54
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: anybody who followed the Jets throughout the preseason, I don't

55
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: think it's a shock that Donald is in this position.

56
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: He performed well throughout the preseason, starting two games, appearing

57
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: in three thrown two touchdown passes, completing sixty of his passes.

58
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: Owning the playbook. Everybody said he did not make the

59
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: same mistake twice. He showed great footwork as far as

60
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: being instinctive in the pocket and also knowing when to

61
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: tuck the ball ron pick up yards. But also he

62
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: has great vision in terms of he is a knack

63
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: for finding the open receiver. And the thing that stands

64
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: uh I would say about Donald number one is he

65
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: is a very instinctive player. And I think to win

66
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, to become an elite player

67
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: at this position, you have to be instinctive, and he's

68
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: got special qualities. Now we'll see down the line if

69
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: he's an elite player. And this is just the start,

70
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: and buckle your sleepbelts, because you're gonna have some highs,

71
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna have some lows. Hopefully the Jets experienced some

72
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: highs on Monday night. This is the first of three

73
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: of four on the road to start the two thousand

74
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: and eighteen season. Matt Patricia said that Donald is very

75
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: good at rolling to his left and his right, which

76
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: is very unusual for a quarterback, especially for a rookie.

77
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: But don't just take our word for it. Don't take

78
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia's word for it. Well, you can't take. He's

79
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: actually a pretty good words. So I'm gonna circle back

80
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: on that he's a good word to follow. But he

81
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: and I have been impressed. I think many people have

82
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: been impressed. In fact, I want to CBS Media Day

83
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: the other week and many of their analysts were impressed

84
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: as well. This is what they had to say about

85
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: the Jets rookie quarterback. Very impressed. Impressed with him on

86
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: a personal level just sitting down and talking with him.

87
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,679
Speaker 1: Impressed with his football. I Q there's a certain savv

88
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: nous and presence that you notice with him. But the

89
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: funny part when you're in the meeting room he walks in.

90
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: He's twenty one, and there's no questioning that he's not

91
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: a guy that looks twenty six. He looks one. So

92
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: you do have to remind yourself of that. He has

93
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: to process so much at that position, and then the

94
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: expectations that come with doing it in New York with

95
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: a franchise that desperately wants to win and wants to

96
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: be consistent. I think you can handle it. I don't

97
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: think the bright lights bother him, and he could throw

98
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: the football. It's his comp is in the pocket. I

99
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: know the sounds a little cliche, but we have to

100
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: keep in mind we're talking about a rookie. You see

101
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: some rookies get thrown out there into the fire and

102
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,679
Speaker 1: they start feeling the heat. Um, it's like a baby

103
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: touch in the stove, start panicking, but not with him,

104
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: and that goes a long way. Um. Even you know

105
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: the certain guys we had on the show, and uh,

106
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: they mentioned that when he first got in the huddle,

107
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: he had a command about And some of these guys

108
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: come in the timid voice as if they're going through puberty,

109
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: and they don't want to make eye contact, and once

110
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: it gets a little rough, you know, they start to panic.

111
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: Not him. So if I could answer that in a

112
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: very short way, it's the composure you know he's gonna

113
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: have if he does start for them. He'll have three

114
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: games in eleven days. That means three different game plans,

115
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: three different defensive coordinator's, all sorts of pressure that you

116
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: have to deal with, learning on the fly, learning them

117
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: from the mistakes you made in the previous game, trying

118
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: to make sure that doesn't happen in the next game.

119
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: But you know, for Jet fans, I just try to

120
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: caution him. There's gonna be offside penalty, is is gonna

121
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: be holding penalties, There's gonna be fumbles, there's gonna be

122
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: all sorts of miscommunication, that's gonna be early timeouts, all

123
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: those things that a rookie quarterback has to fight through.

124
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: But I take the Jet fan back two years ago

125
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, Philadelphia made the commitment to Carson Wentz. This

126
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: is exactly what the Jets have to do with Sam Donald.

127
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: Make the commitment. Now, benefit from it next year and

128
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: the year after, and hopefully he becomes as good as Carson. Alright,

129
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: so some high praise there from some of CBS's top talent,

130
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: and e a moving forward. Now. I know that a

131
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: lot of Jets fans are like, Okay, well, Donald's been impressive,

132
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: but what what is he looking at now that the

133
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: regular season has come, Because it's a little different than

134
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: preseason and there are a lot of vanilla looks As

135
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: people say, you don't really tip your hand too much

136
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: in the preseason. But if you're a Jets fan, what

137
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: should you be expecting from Sam Donald in Week one,

138
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football under the lights in the Motor City. Men,

139
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: Patricia is going to throw some complex looks out there

140
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: at Sam Donald Company. I think Jeremy Bates is going

141
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: to counter with a plan that features some route combinations,

142
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: concepts that Donald is comfortable with. And also you've got

143
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: to think about there were times throughout the preseason where

144
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: the Jets would empty the backfield out, and I think

145
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: what that allows the quarterback to do is diagnosed where

146
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: the blitz is coming from. So maybe the Jets go

147
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: empty at times. The other thing that I really like

148
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: what Bates is doing with Donald and overall in this

149
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: West Coast system is he runs a lot of boots,

150
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: He runs a lot of play action. He gets the

151
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: guy out on the move, and like you mentioned before,

152
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: Donald is very comfortable on the move and he's accurate

153
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: inside the pocket outside the pocket, so I don't think

154
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: he's going to be a stationary target out there. And

155
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: also when you're looking at the Misha, he comes at

156
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: it from that New England background, so he's gonna throw

157
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: some different stuff at him. But the Jets are gonna

158
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: counter and who's gonna win that matchup? I actually think

159
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: the key in his game, and I hope I'm not

160
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: stealing our thunder here is how are the Jets gonna

161
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 1: rush the football against the Detroit lines? Because last year

162
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 1: the Lions no row rush defense maybe eighteenth of the

163
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: national Football League, But the Jets have to have some balance,

164
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: and Todd Bowls loves Bates because he said Jeremy Bates

165
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: is committed to the run, committed to having balance. So

166
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: you didn't steal our thunder. I wouldn't say that that's

167
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: a little far. But we're gonna dive in a little

168
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: more of Jets, Lions and just season preview as a whole.

169
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: But I want to get your opinion on this before

170
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: we throw to some more sound here. Is that you know,

171
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: what do you think that Donald's biggest challenge will be

172
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: entering the regular season as starting quarterbacks for the Green

173
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: and White. I think John mentioned before is that you

174
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: just you only see a small sample size in the

175
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: preseason and and a lot of vanilla looks. So now

176
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: you are the guy, and people are gonna game plan

177
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: against you, and the preseason people aren't game planning against you.

178
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: So everything Donald is going to see is new. It's

179
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 1: a new experience, and um, you have to. But the

180
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: thing is about this kid, and I say kid, he's

181
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: twenty one years old. Is I think that he's very steady.

182
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: He's got an air about him, which is what the

183
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: guys have said about him. Jermaine curse Um said something

184
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: in the locker room this week that what's interesting. He

185
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: said that he throws guys open. And a lot of

186
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: people talk about college quarterbacks coming out, they say, hey,

187
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: they can be accurate with the football, but they throw

188
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: it to a guy when he's open. You rarely hear

189
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: veteran receivers talk about a rookie quarterback who's never played

190
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: it down in the National Football League in terms of

191
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: regular season saying he throws guys open. Uh. The key

192
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: for him, Greens is going to be protecting the football.

193
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: He stressed that throughout the off season. We can go

194
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: back to our podcasts UH Draft pre Draft podcast when

195
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: we talked to Sam Farmer from Not a Times about Donald,

196
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: when we talked to quarterback Guru Jordan Palmer about his

197
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: training with Donald and keeping two hands on football or

198
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: go on left hand only because he just wanted him

199
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: to get in the habit of always keeping your left

200
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: hand on the football In the National Football League. You

201
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: can look at the stats and I don't have percentages

202
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: for you, but if you win the turnover battle, more

203
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: than likely you're gonna win games. So Donald had only

204
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: one turnover in the preseason, and I was fine with that.

205
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: It was a fourth he said he could have thrown

206
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: maybe uh to Robbie Anderson on a corner route. I

207
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: believe against the Washington Redskins with top both took the

208
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: blame for He said, listen, that was just a bad play.

209
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: We had dialed up and it was fourth town. Whatever.

210
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: If you don't convert there, you turn it over on downs.

211
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: I don't care about that. But against this Lions team,

212
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: I think there are fourth in the National Football the

213
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: interceptions last year. So the big thing for Donald is

214
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: protective football number one. Number two is you don't want

215
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: to see pre snap penalties. So make sure you relay

216
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: that call from Bates to your fellows in the huddle

217
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: and get everybody in the line. And I don't have

218
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: the proper amount of time to get the playoff in

219
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: a foreign environment such as for Ford Field. Well, a

220
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: couple of things. There is one you talked about Tremaine

221
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: curR saying Donald throws receivers open. I thought his anecdote

222
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: was fantastic when he said we were it was in Washington.

223
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm a little confus used if it's when the Jets

224
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: had joint practices or if it was in the actual game,

225
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: but Jermaine Curs said that there was one play where

226
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: he didn't think Donald was coming to him and he

227
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: just ripped one right to his chest. He said, I

228
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 1: had no choice but to catch it. So I think

229
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: that that goes back to what we've talked about is

230
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: Donald's ball placement, and that it's truly, I think unique

231
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: for a rookie to be able to put the ball

232
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: where he wants to be a game or practice, because

233
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: I do wow that you mentioned it, and I heard

234
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: Chris said, but it really didn't register at the time

235
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: because so many things are happening inside a locker room session.

236
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: I do remember the red zone work, and I remember

237
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: Churs running in practice YEA a short route and before

238
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: he turned, the ball was out and when he turned,

239
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: it was placed between the one and the zero, and

240
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: it probably left an imprint on his chest even though

241
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: he is a hands catcher. I was gonna say that's

242
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: probably the play because I went back and watched the

243
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: after he talked about the play, I went back and

244
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: watched the Washington game and I went to see if

245
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: he had any catches, and Jamaine Curs had one catch

246
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: on the sideline and he was just wide open. So

247
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: I assume it's a play that you're talking about, But yeah,

248
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: throwing with the anticipation. Yeah, well, I mean, well, we'll see.

249
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: There's obviously many challenges a quarterback, a rookie quarterback will

250
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: face in the NFL. And Sam Donald's the only rookie

251
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: quarterback to start for his team out of the two

252
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: thousand eighteen draft class. How about that? How about that?

253
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: You know, I thought Josh Allen might have an opportunity

254
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: to start for the Buffalo Bills, but that third preseason

255
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: Cincinnati was having a second party, third preseason game up

256
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: there in Western New York. And uh, I know Sean

257
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: McDermott and Buffalo has been impressed with Nathan Peterman. And

258
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: I think externally the media can't get over Peterman's do

259
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: you have yeah, five picks in the first half or

260
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: something like that against the Chargers whatever, whatever. Who knows

261
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: what Peterman is gonna bring to the table. Uh, you know,

262
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: I would imagine the Bill is are gonna be Ryan

263
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy. Why wouldn't you um? In Arizona, I guess

264
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: Rosen will be Behindford to start the season. Same with

265
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson behind Flacco, and Baker Mayfield that number one

266
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: overall picked behind Todd. I mean, it's it's really pick

267
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: your poison at this Do you think Baker Mayfield will

268
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: be the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns when we three,

269
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: because I know I think it will be I don't

270
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: think so. I think it'll be Taylor. He's the Jets

271
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: to going there and we three. This starts a stretch

272
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: which I don't I don't remember ever having a stretch

273
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: like this the start of season for the Jets. Three

274
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: games in eleven days, So it's a tough stretch, especially

275
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: for rookie quarterback. And before we dive into some Jets

276
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: Lions in particular, e A, this is this is the

277
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: season opener. I mean, this is again nine months in

278
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: the making, and before we dive into Monday Night in particular,

279
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: is is there a unit? Is there a player that

280
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: you're just kind of excited to see finally against an opponent.

281
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: I know it's very difficult to prepare for Week ones

282
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: in general, because typically if you're a National Football League team,

283
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: you take the past three or four games and you

284
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: look at tendencies and you look to see the way

285
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: teams attack, and you look to see what their play

286
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: calls are on thurdn shorts or second and longs, or

287
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: what they do in the red zone, all their tendencies.

288
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: The Jets are playing alliance team they don't play on

289
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: a regular basis. Is the start of the run through

290
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: the NFC North right this year, by the way, the

291
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: FC is is gonna have a tough ride because the

292
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: NFC North is legit. You can make the argument that

293
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: the Lions are the worst team on paper in NFC North.

294
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: That's a team that's a division that features the Minnesota Vikings,

295
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: were in the NFC Championship game last year, the Green

296
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: Bay Packers, who have an all world quarterback in Aaron

297
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: Rodgers and whatever he healthy, they're in the mix. And

298
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: then Chicago, the Chicago Bears and a lot offseason editions

299
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: and they just added Cleio McK oh. The NFC North,

300
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: you said loaded is out of the word you. Oh no,

301
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: you said legit. NFC North has loaded, and so that

302
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: just I mean you talked about everyone on in that

303
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: division that's gonna be I said the other day the

304
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: NFC North could have four teams over five hundred. I

305
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: think that's possible. So you asked me about, uh, yeah,

306
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: what what a player? What to what to expect? Yeah,

307
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: I know, And I was I was going off on

308
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: a little tangent there because I do think it's fascinating

309
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: how Bates and Donald and McCown and all those cats

310
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: are gonna be. I mentioned McCom because he's the wildly

311
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: flat but as far as coming up with that game plan,

312
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: because you're looking at the Lions personnel, but on what

313
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: is Matt Patricia showing you in the preseason. I don't

314
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be showing you too many schemes, just

315
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: like the Jets fans were all upset about the lack

316
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: of pressure against Eli Manning in the third preseason game.

317
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: And well, when I came back and I said, do

318
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: you think Top Bowls and Casey Rogers is going to

319
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: reveal all their exotic schemes against the Giants in the

320
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: third preseason game. I never thought that was the case.

321
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: But so you go to Patricia and you say, well,

322
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: you gotta look at New England film, don't you. But

323
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: at the same time, you have to look at New

324
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: England film and then imagine how he's gonna work those

325
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: pieces with the Lions. And on that defense. But I'm

326
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: gonna go to my guy Blopa longest time in New

327
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: York Jet the Detroit Lions, uh last year. Here's a

328
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: step for you. Um. Like I told you before, I

329
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: think the Jets offensively gotta have balance. But I will

330
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: flip into the other side of the ball because I

331
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: think Blap could be in line for a big game.

332
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: But on the other side of the ball, did you

333
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: know the Droyt lines were last in the NFL and

334
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: Russian two thousand and seventeen. I think they haven't had

335
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: a one thousand yard rushier in like ten years or

336
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: something like that. So they draft to carry on Johnson

337
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: at Auburn in the second round. I got Lagarret blonto theoretick.

338
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: He's kind of like the more they're receiving more than

339
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: the receiving threat. Um. So can the Jets take away

340
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: that run and then get the exotics because they got

341
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: to get to Stafford. Stafford will hold on to the football.

342
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: He is looking to make the play down the field,

343
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: bombs away at Ford Field, that's what he wants to do.

344
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: He wants an aerial assault. So New Jack City comes

345
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: into focus, because you gotta keep the ball in front

346
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: of you, and I'm gonna be talking about that all week.

347
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: So you know, if you hear here, hear me on

348
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: the podcast, I'm gonna be shouting about it on Friday

349
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: on uh the game preview. Yeah yeah, Friday game preview,

350
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking about uh, you know, practice today

351
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be talking about a pregame central. You

352
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: gotta keep the ball in front of you against Matt Stafford,

353
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: so just can't, I mean, can't go over your head,

354
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: cannot go over. So to come full circle here real quick,

355
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: is blah Paul is gonna Blapa is gonna be featured

356
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: in this offense, So you're not. Yeah, but I also

357
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: want to see this is a great test out of

358
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: the gate for this secondary that features Tremaine Johnson. So

359
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: I go blow all and I go the defensive backfield. Okay?

360
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: So is that okay? Yeah, that's fine. I'm cool with that.

361
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: You're talking about the secondary Tremaine Johnson. Of course, the

362
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: big ticket free agent edition gre signed Morris Clayborne, Jamal

363
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: Adams and his growth. We'll see if Marcus May lines

364
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: up next to Jamal Adams or if it's Doug Middleton.

365
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: But regardless of this secondary on paper is one of

366
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: these ranks of this team, and a lot of the

367
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: CBS guys again have lofty expectations for this unit. So

368
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: this is what they had to say about New Jack City.

369
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: I really like the look of the Jet secondary, and

370
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: certainly Tremaine Johnson is a big addition. Now Morris Claiborne

371
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: can settle in at that opposite side, and I think

372
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: that's a better fit for him and the two young

373
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: guys at safety I think are going to be fantastic.

374
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: And you look around the league now and and how

375
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: significant the passing game is. You gotta have that secondary.

376
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: You gotta buy a little time for your edge rushers

377
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: um and your double A gap blitzers to to get

378
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: that extra little split second to get to the quarterback.

379
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: Jaman's likes the Turpil likes to talk a lot, right

380
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: because you don't. Because he's competent and I can't even

381
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: imagine the confidence that he's going to bring in this

382
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 1: year as compared to this time last year. Those guys

383
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: are sneaky, man, and you know, if he really figures

384
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: it out, he'll be like Ed Reid, He'll be like

385
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: Troy Palamalo. And it's not only about tackling, it's about

386
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: getting interset options. You've got the ball hawking safety. You've

387
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: got guys who you think can thump back there. You

388
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: think you have starting corners who can hold it down.

389
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: If you have to leave one of them on an island,

390
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: maybe more than you would even like to, to try

391
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: to get more people attacking the quarterback, then you know,

392
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: I think you're you're willing to do that. When you

393
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: have a couple of corners to trust and Tremaine as

394
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: as outstanding, uh, then then you can put them on

395
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: island more and take more chances getting after the quarterback.

396
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: And I know that's what Todd loves to do. When

397
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: we had Patrick Peterson, he was able to use Patrick

398
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: and you take this guy and you shut him down

399
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: and let the rest of the team handle everything else.

400
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: You can do that which remain the goal is for

401
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: Todd Bowls to run the defense like you ran it

402
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: in Arizona and in Philadelphia, and that is reckless, abandoned,

403
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback, and of course trust your guys

404
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: on the back end. The secondary is going in the

405
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: right direction, but you have to pressure the QB in

406
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: this league. You can't leave your guys out on an island.

407
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: And that's the one thing I keep going back to

408
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: with this defense whether or not this team can truly

409
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: be competitive this year. Okay, let's let's shift now to

410
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: Jets lines in particular. You I asked you who you're

411
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: excited to see, Well, now I'm gonna answer. I'm excited

412
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: to see Jamal Adams because this guy, he talks the

413
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: talk and he you see him post things on Instagram.

414
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: He's watching Phil. I think this guy is ready to

415
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: blow up, and as someone that covers the team, I

416
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: hope he does because I think he can be a

417
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: really exciting player to watch. But I really do believe

418
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: that Jamal Adams can be a difference maker in his

419
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: second year if he progresses the way that he anticipates.

420
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: And I'm really excited to see what happened. E A

421
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: and I broke down Jets Lions Beth Mullens, who is

422
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: going to call the game on Monday Night Football, along

423
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: with Brian Greasy and Laura Rutledge on the sidebys. They

424
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: all came out to Jets camp. Laura Rutledge Florida Gator,

425
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: Beth Mwens go or and you can play that game, right, greasy.

426
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: You're having a tough week, bro, Yeah, amazing, Blue not

427
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: not so amazing. It's an Irish open. Yes they did.

428
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: But regardless that. We caught up with Beth Mullins at

429
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: CBS Media Day. She's calling the game. This is what

430
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: she had to say about the Jets lines storylines on

431
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: Monday Night. So let's talk to the Jets Lions here.

432
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: When I say that to you Jets Lions Monday Night

433
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: football Week one, what are some of the things that

434
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: stick out immediately and for storylines are matchup one. I

435
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: think the first thing that jumps off the page right

436
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: away is the experienced quarterback in Matthew Stafford and what

437
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: looks like it's going to be the new guy and

438
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: Sam Donald and sort of the juxtaposition of those two guys,

439
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: one guy in his prime, one guy trying to figure

440
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: it out and trying to make a huge difference and

441
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: be the franchise guy. I think that is probably the

442
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: marquee matchup. The other thing that's intriguing is um Matt Patricia.

443
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: Nobody knows the Jets um as good as he does

444
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: from his years in New England and having come from

445
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: the Bill Belichick coaching tree. How does he instill some

446
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: of that Patriot way in the in what the Lions

447
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: are doing? And can that be a much improved defense

448
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: from a year ago? Will they be able to get

449
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: some pressure on a young quarterback? UM? And then I

450
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: think the other big thing for me from the Jets

451
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: point of view is is this offense good enough to

452
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: score with the Lions? Because you look at Stafford in

453
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: that receiving corps, you look at what should be a

454
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: really improved run game. Um, is this going to be

455
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: a shootout? And can the Jets muster what they need

456
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: to to compete and win. Having been out to both

457
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: Jets camp and Lions camp, what's the biggest difference out

458
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: there in Detroit with Matt Patricia now taking the rain there.

459
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing that you you see and

460
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,959
Speaker 1: that you hear too when you're talking to their players

461
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: and and sort of interacting with a lot of the

462
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: media is it's a much different culture. It's a much

463
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: different feeling of more intensity, more passion, UM, and a

464
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: lot more done at game speed. I think that's one

465
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: of the big things that Matt is trying to incorporate. UM.

466
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: We gotta make sure we're in the best shape that

467
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: we can possibly be in if you're on the Lions

468
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: side of things, because it's a long haul, it's a long,

469
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: grueling season, and I think that's one of the things

470
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: that he has really tried to instill, is that toughness.

471
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: From a Jets perspective, is what do you expect some

472
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: of the areas that the Green and White can exploit,

473
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: Let's say on the Lions defense, or if you're Jeremy Bates,

474
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: what are you hoping to create mismatches or where rather?

475
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: You know, you know, I think one of the big

476
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,959
Speaker 1: question marks for the Jets is at the tight end

477
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: position and and how can you utilize that and how

478
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: good can that group be? Um It's gonna be a

479
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: challenge against Detroit because that's a very good secondary as well,

480
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: led by Darius slay Um. So there will be some

481
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: challenges in the past game. How good can can um?

482
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: A Noon will be coming back? How good can Prior be?

483
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: Is uh coming back from his injuries? So I think

484
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: there are a lot of question marks in that past game.

485
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: And first and foremost, you're probably gonna want to try

486
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: and run the ball and see what you can do

487
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: with um, with Powell and the new additions that they

488
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: brought into that run game as well. E A. Now

489
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: it is time for the mailbag. This is one of

490
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: our segments this year. Tweet your questions at e A,

491
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: at myself, E Allen Jets, E Greenberg Jets. You can't

492
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: tweet at E's Instagram, but you can d m him

493
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: if you want. I gotta start following more people on Instagram.

494
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: You do like the players, and I got to learn

495
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: how to navigate him on Instagram. I do think I'm

496
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: posting pretty well. All right, we'll go through a lesson later. Well,

497
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: this is the mailbag. This is the Jets mailbag. These

498
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: are your questions. We do it for the face. Are

499
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: we gonna do this rapid fire? Santiago writes in what's

500
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: the status of Curse? Is he officially out for week one? Green?

501
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: So he's not officially out. Jermaine Curse did not talk

502
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: about his injury, nor did Todd Bowles, and at the

503
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: time we are recording this, there has been no injury report,

504
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: even though it is Wednesday, that will likely be Tomorrow

505
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: is the first day of the injury reports. But he

506
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: has not practiced yet, so far this week, he's been

507
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: in a bucket hat and then that was earlier in

508
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: the week. So this is, uh, you know, a very

509
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 1: um unique week because, like we talked about before, it's

510
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: a long week, so those first two days, it's really

511
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: gonna ramp up from Thursday to Saturday. So we'll have

512
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: to see what happens with curse out there on the field.

513
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: Any injury um diagnosis designations, they're gonna come from the

514
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: head coach. Okay, let's go to Jude truth. The team

515
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: has been below average on the road for the last

516
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: seven years. How can Bowls change that this season? So

517
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: basically a recipe for success on the road, I would

518
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: say first things first is talking the players talked about

519
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: it last year's bringing that same kind of energy at

520
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: matt Lie that they do on Sundays and bring it

521
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: to the opposing arena, so Ford Field, I would expect

522
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: the Jets would be high on energy, no doubt. Monday

523
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: Night haven't played in nine months, new players, new pieces.

524
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: The other thing is you talked about if you establish

525
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: a run game, I think that sets the tone early,

526
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: It eats up clock and then you can take your

527
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: shots when needed. If you make a couple of splash

528
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: plays here and there, whether it be on special teams

529
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: or turnover on offense, whatever it may be, is I

530
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: think that's how you really get the ball moving, and

531
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: once you get momentum on the road, I think you

532
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: just kind of ride it. Jets to go one and

533
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: seven on the road, and two thousand and seventeen they

534
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: start with three or four away from home. Jode, You're right.

535
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: For the Jets to take the next step, they have

536
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: to find ways to win on the road, and I

537
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: think that is what you're looking for from a young team.

538
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: And let's see how much they've matured here early in

539
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: the two thousand and eighteen season, because I think they're

540
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: gonna be tested right out of the gate. That's gonna

541
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: that's a tough environment. Uh. And I don't think Detroit

542
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: is there's this big dispass, the disparity in terms of

543
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: talent between the lines and the Jets. But for them

544
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: to play better, they gotta play better out of the

545
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: gates and can't have any stinkers on the road. Like

546
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: even the game they won against Cleveland, the Jets came

547
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: out flat, or the game they played against Tampa last

548
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: they just had nothing early in the game. You need

549
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: guys to come out and have some tone setting plays.

550
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: You have to be fundamental in all elements of the game,

551
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: meaning playing well on special teams, that hidden yardage bit

552
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: meaning no pre snap penalties on offense. Um. Also, you know,

553
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: if you can strike first, that will go a long way.

554
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: But I think you need to make some momentum uh,

555
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: changing plays early and be able to absorb some punches.

556
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: That's part of taking the next step as a team

557
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: is absorbing punches, walking through it and saying, hey, listen,

558
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: this is the heavyway battle we're gonna be around. We're

559
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,959
Speaker 1: not going away, and don't be frustrated, but play sound

560
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: discipline football. I think it is a good question. It

561
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: is fair and that's what I'm looking for for the

562
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: Jets over the first four games the two thousand and

563
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: eighteen season, and I want them to ride the energy

564
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: players you mentioned Jamal Adams. He's an energy player Bla Paul.

565
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: He might not talk much, he's an energy player. Another

566
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: guy that getting back to the offense who I'd love

567
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: to see a little bit of him early on Monday

568
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: night number eighty one Quincy and noon one. He's an

569
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: energy player. When these guys make plays. You see the

570
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: sideline looks a little different. Don't forget about Robbie Anderson,

571
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: Uh making big plays down the field? Uh there, Uh

572
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: so let's go to I believe this is MO? How

573
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: is your Moal Adams looked in the preseason lots of hype,

574
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: but haven't heard much from the beat writers afraid of

575
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: bus potential. I don't think you gotta be afraid of

576
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,479
Speaker 1: bus potential at all. People know the game of coming

577
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: and watched him at practice, and he at thirty three.

578
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: He's consistently stood out on the practice field the Swiss

579
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: army knife. I think he's gonna be used all over

580
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: the place. Don't be worried about Jamally Adams. Um, he's

581
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: gonna be just fine. Alex as any update on the

582
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: new jersey numbers prior Robert's picking up real wide receiver numbers,

583
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: So tell him the background and tell him where we're

584
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: at greens. So background is, if you're a receiver, you

585
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: can't wear single digits. You have to be in the

586
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: teens or the eighties. And what prior wearing the hires

587
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: number one? Robert's number three as it stands today Wednesday,

588
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: no Jersey changes from a number standpoint, tomorrow maybe different. However,

589
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: if we're take in bets, and I know we're not,

590
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: but I would guess that Roberts goes nineteen and prior

591
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: in the eighties, either eight or eight eight prior in

592
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: the eighties, and Roberts goes from three to nineteen. I

593
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: think he wore it last year, did he? Yeah? For

594
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: the Falcons, uh and Andre Roberts, you would think Trenton

595
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: Cannon is on the active roster. You would think that

596
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: Roberts is going to be your return or Week one

597
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: against the front lines. Um, the Jets kept seven receivers

598
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: and that correctors six and our Darius Stewarts start the

599
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: season out on suspension, so you kind of it's almost

600
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: feels like you got a fifty six, so you just

601
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: don't have access to three of these guys to start

602
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: the year. That's Kempierre Lewis one game suspension or Darius

603
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: Stewart two games suspension. And then Rashad Robinson, who Todd

604
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: Bowles was very consummatary about the way he's rebounded throughout

605
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: the summer. Who'll start the season on the spongeon list.

606
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: He's got a four game Uh. We don't have time

607
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: for the roster breakdown, Greens, but I did find it,

608
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: uh not not curious. It speaks to adept with the

609
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: Jets having the defensive ack fields. They think they have

610
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: a lot of good players back there, so you know

611
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: a lot uh anybody hit the streets. So you're carrying

612
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: seven cornerbacks and then five safeties to start the year.

613
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 1: And you don't even have Rod Times Miles here because
