1
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Do you guys have a good bye week stand out

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: of trouble? No? Oh, it was great. Thanks. No kids

3
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: are in school, so yeah, watch Devin on TV yesterday.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: I missed it, but Aaron's gonna get me a copy

5
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: of the tapes because I gotta watch that and that's

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: must see TV. How do you do? I mean, you

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: know he's gotta practice, right, you gotta practice. But he's

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: if he's half as good as his brother, I think

9
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: he'll be all right, break it down, go through. Yeah,

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to take a look at the tape, Aaron, Right,

11
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Devon's tape. We're gonna get me coughing. I'm gonna

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: take a little I'm gonna be extra critical him too.

13
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: Did you ever see yourself doing it? No, sir, not

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: for me. I'll let Jackie do that. Not not Matthew.

15
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,319
Speaker 1: Now go ahead. I was just to say that they

16
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: won against the Bills before they headed off on their

17
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: behind like you. They were all talking about you good Jets,

18
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing your game. I guess you've been

19
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: through this so many times with different teams and obviously

20
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: being at to being a high level team for two

21
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: decades now. But does that add a little extra juice

22
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: knowing that they're kind of ready. Perhaps for some when

23
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: you get to my age, every game is important and

24
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: you don't need to find extra motivation. I mean, there's

25
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: plenty of motivation out there for every player, but I

26
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: know for some guys that certainly gives them a little

27
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: extra And you know, I don't. I'm sure. Look if

28
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: we were then we'd feel the same way. And we're

29
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: in the division. It's very clear how both teams feel

30
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: about each other. It's very clear what both teams are

31
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: hoping to do, so you know, I understand them chump

32
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: on the bit feeling like they want to make it right,

33
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: and obviously I feel like we want to go out

34
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: there and do We did the last game, so it

35
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: should will be a great game on Sunday. Love the

36
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: Jets one of my favorite teams. No, but in all seriousness,

37
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: a lot of respect to them, and I think they're

38
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: doing a great job. They they play the game the

39
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: right way, and I think you have to respect that,

40
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: and you know, they play hard, their coach well and

41
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: obviously they're much improved this year. Uh and we're certainly

42
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: not surprised by that. We could see it coming, so

43
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: and we know Sunday is gonna be tough. Just feel

44
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: like more of a rivalry game with them because of

45
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: the implications and because of we're there in the standings,

46
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: and so I think that adds a little bit to it.

47
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot at stake here. I mean,

48
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: you look at these these next coming games in the

49
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: back half of the season. Here, everybody's playing for something,

50
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: especially in our division. So, um, you know that rivalry

51
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: is certainly renewed. Not that it ever died, but I think, uh,

52
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, steakes are high, motions will be high. It'd

53
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: be highly comp petitive, and you know there's a lot

54
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: on the line. You said you can see the Jets

55
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: improvement coming. What what in particular, Like, dude, you see

56
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: they that made you think all the Jets right, gonna

57
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: have to take stut this year. Well, they've acquired a

58
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of talent over the last several years. And

59
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, at the end of

60
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: the day, players win games. Coach Belichick could tell you that.

61
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: And you know, they've got a lot of really good players,

62
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: and you knew at some point it was gonna come together.

63
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: And obviously their staff has done a great job of

64
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: getting them to believe in what they're doing, and you

65
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: can you can tell they're under the guidance of some

66
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: good leadership, and you know it shows. So Matthew, that

67
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: game kicks off a string of three game in twelve days.

68
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: What do you guys have to do mental league physically

69
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: to prepare for such a condensed schin Well, I think mentally,

70
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: just taking things one day at a time. I don't

71
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: think we're gonna look too far down the road. I

72
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: think we have to worry about coming out tomorrow, getting

73
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: a good lift, good rehab, coming in Wednesday, having a

74
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: good practice, and so on and so forth. You know,

75
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: it's easy to kind of look a big picture a

76
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: little too much. You can become a little sidetrack with

77
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: what you have going on. So we need to just

78
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: focus on the day, put all our energy and effort

79
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: into the Jets, and you know, trying to play a

80
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: good game on Sunday. And then physically, I mean, you know,

81
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: it's a mystery. We're gonna have to be intentional about

82
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: the way we recover, the way we prepare ourselves physically.

83
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's that time of year anyways, the back

84
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: half of the season where everybody's feeling it. So we'll

85
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: do a good job there as best we can, and

86
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, just take it one day at time. Sort

87
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: of went self for this team after the bye last year.

88
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: Are there any lessons that you can can take away

89
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: from that experience to kind of make sure that that

90
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: doesn't repeat itself. Yeah, you know, I think, you know,

91
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: we need to have a great sense of urgency. We

92
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: can't take anything for granted, and we just need to

93
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: stay in the moment. You know, what happened last year

94
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: is obviously not going to have any bearing on this

95
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: team and what happens this year a lot of new players,

96
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: new coaches, so um, you know, last year it was

97
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: what it was. If anything, the guys that are here

98
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: need to realize the urgency with which we need to

99
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: approach each day and understand that. You know, things are

100
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: very fluid in the National Football League, so things should

101
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: be going well now and they can turn on you

102
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: quick or things can be going poorly and you can

103
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: turn around quickly. So you just take things one day

104
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: at the time. I would, but Jake, you know, statistically,

105
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: for what it's worth, like it, it hasn't been his

106
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 1: best season statistically, But what do you see from him

107
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, are just in general off the field

108
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: that he brings to his team. Yeah, well, look, we

109
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: have a lot of belief in Jake and I think

110
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: you know, everybody on this team understands what his talent

111
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: level is. And you know, I know we all as

112
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: a unit, I want to be better. So you know,

113
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: it's important for him to know that we have his

114
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: back and that we support him. And you know, as professional,

115
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: they're going to be ups and downs. That's just a

116
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: part of it. And you know, I know he's the

117
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: no one's harder on Jake than himself. So I know

118
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna keep trusting his process, go back to the

119
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: fundamentals and just believe in who he is and keep

120
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: trying to get over the hump if you will. And

121
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: then you know, coverage wives, we just need to, you know,

122
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: do a good job of supporting him and covering and

123
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: getting down there and getting a lot of hats to

124
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: the ball. But you know, you can't put it all

125
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: on Jag. You can't put it at all on one guy.

126
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: It's the whole punt team that needs to do better.

127
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: And you know, but I want him to know that

128
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: we all support him and we all have a lot

129
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: of belief in him. Question, Pathew, one of the things

130
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: that comes up at every level of football is guys

131
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: talking about the bond that formed in the locker room.

132
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: And this is as a person on a football team,

133
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: not even as a member of the Patriots. What sort

134
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: of impact does it have when something comes out like

135
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: the shootings late last night at the University of Virginia

136
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: where involves the team and losing members of a football team. Yeah, well,

137
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: first of all, my condolences to those players families and

138
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, the team there. I can't imagine being in

139
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: a situation like that. Any any needless loss of life

140
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: is just heartbreaking. I don't care what the setting is,

141
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: what the circumstances are, there's needless loss of life. It

142
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: just really breaks your heart. And certainly for those of

143
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: us who have been members of teams and for any

144
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 1: amount of time, or specifically college or professional football teams,

145
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: I think it really shakes you up because, like you said,

146
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: you experienced so much together on a football team. You

147
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: go through so much. It's an emotional process, it's a

148
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: physical process, it's a spiritual process. And the bonds that

149
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: are created on a football team or some of the

150
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: strongest I've ever been around. And you know, I still

151
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: talk to guys that I played within college, I played

152
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: within high school, and when we talk, it's like we

153
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: never left. So to see something like that, I think

154
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: it really shakes you up a bit. It leaves you

155
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,600
