Speaker 1: New York Jets. No like Here's Eric Callvin and Eric Coleman.
Speaker 1: Welcome to Inside the Jets were broadcasting live from Vanderbilt
Speaker 1: Sports and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel. Eric
Speaker 1: Ellen alongside Eric Coleman. Later in the show will be
Speaker 1: joined by Jets cornerback Arthur Millette. Hey listen to Jets
Speaker 1: left for Dead. A couple of weeks ago at one
Speaker 1: in seven, e have now suddenly won three games in
Speaker 1: a row. And perhaps most impressive effort of this season
Speaker 1: came Sunday at MetLife Stadium. People were wondering how they
Speaker 1: were gonna respawn to his step up in class against
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders, who came the MetLife with a six
Speaker 1: and four record. Well, they probably started the early, the
Speaker 1: visitors because at thirty four to three, trouncing in front
Speaker 1: of the home faithful. I mean, it was a great
Speaker 1: performance all around by the Jets, and it was so
Speaker 1: awesome to see not only did they have their first
Speaker 1: drive as a touchdown for the fifth straight game, but
Speaker 1: they kept the pressure on. Well they actually got the
Speaker 1: field goal, they got taken off the board, but but points.
Speaker 1: They got points on their opening possession for a fifth
Speaker 1: consecutive game. Yeah, I mean, and it's been fair to
Speaker 1: see the game plan and to see all what the
Speaker 1: coaches put in play. You see him, the players go
Speaker 1: out there and executed, and they're doing a great job
Speaker 1: of playing disciplined football. You look at offense there starting
Speaker 1: to open up the playbook because the offensive line is
Speaker 1: protecting better and it's uh, it's been beautiful to see
Speaker 1: the creativity of Adam Gaze. Was this easily the most
Speaker 1: complete effort of the two thousand nineteen season. You mentioned
Speaker 1: the offense before the touchdown streak did come to an
Speaker 1: end the Marius Thomas touchdown taken off the board due
Speaker 1: to a pass interference penalty. What in all, the offense
Speaker 1: scored on five of their first six possessions, and even
Speaker 1: though Jamal Adams said the defense wanted to shut out,
Speaker 1: they came just a little bit short of that, giving
Speaker 1: up a field goal on the Raiders opening possession. They
Speaker 1: shut the door after that. And Derek Carr, who came
Speaker 1: into this game completing his passes with fifteen touchdown passes
Speaker 1: and five interceptions. He was held to a hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty seven yards passing and John Gruden said, late in
Speaker 1: that ballgame, white flag, Derek Carr come to the bench. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he pulled out the starters pretty quick, you know, and
Speaker 1: gave it up. The Jets were applying pressure. They did
Speaker 1: a great job in the back end of coverage and
Speaker 1: not giving up big plays, and you know, offensively, it
Speaker 1: was it was great to see as well. So it
Speaker 1: was a well rounded game. Special teams had great contributions.
Speaker 1: So it was it's definitely their most complete game and
Speaker 1: it was their most imprempressive victory by far. Speaking of
Speaker 1: the impress of how about the coaching staff, the job
Speaker 1: that Adam Gates has done. He caught a lot of
Speaker 1: flat earliest season, and this team did not play well
Speaker 1: in spurts, and a lot of that had to do
Speaker 1: with the movement in and out of the lineup, deal
Speaker 1: with injuries, losing your starting quarterback for three games, and
Speaker 1: then Greg Williams. We've been talking for weeks. The Jets
Speaker 1: rushed defense one of the best in football. I think
Speaker 1: we just got to throw that away now and say
Speaker 1: the Jets defense is one of the best in football. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't say enough about Greg Williams in
Speaker 1: the job that he's done as the coordinator. I mean,
Speaker 1: you talk about all the players that he's been missing,
Speaker 1: you know, C. J. Mosley, Avery Williamson on the back end,
Speaker 1: Tremaine Johnson, uh, Darryl Roberts, Roberts, I mean, they and
Speaker 1: they're playing, still continuing to play great football. They trade
Speaker 1: away Leonard Williams, you know, they're one of their star players,
Speaker 1: and it seems like the defensive line that started playing better.
Speaker 1: You know, they're playing more inspired football up front and
Speaker 1: just playing complete games and it's great to see. And
Speaker 1: Greg Williams is doing one heck of the job. Where
Speaker 1: have you seen the most significant growth from Sam Donald?
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the offense. We talked about it
Speaker 1: last week on Inside the Jets. Following that game in
Speaker 1: Jackson Fell, Sam Donald walked into Adam Gates's offense and said,
Speaker 1: this is what I like about the offense, maybe this
Speaker 1: is what I don't like. Little back and forth, a
Speaker 1: heart to heart per se and then after that. Over
Speaker 1: the course of the last four games, specifically during this
Speaker 1: three game win streak, his play has been off the chart,
Speaker 1: it really has. And I think the biggest improvement is
Speaker 1: on his confidence. I mean, you can see his his
Speaker 1: body presence, you can see the confidence he's making those throws.
Speaker 1: He's making some tough throws yesterday, and you know he's
Speaker 1: getting down in the pocket, he's scanning the field, he's
Speaker 1: taking his time because the offensive line is doing a
Speaker 1: great job of protecting him. But you know he's taking
Speaker 1: some shots down the field as well. But I think
Speaker 1: his confidence is at all time high and it's great
Speaker 1: to see him playing at a level like the way
Speaker 1: he's playing right now. You played safety in the National
Speaker 1: Football League. Let's talk about gays for a second, and
Speaker 1: the way he's attacking defenses right now, because I think
Speaker 1: he's doing a great job of breaking tendencies. Because teams
Speaker 1: on film watch the Jets and said, okay, maybe this
Speaker 1: is a screen here at the beginning of the second half.
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's Braxton baryoffs for six. Yeah. I mean
Speaker 1: that was a great tendency breaker. And then the other
Speaker 1: one in the red zone when you when when Crowder
Speaker 1: motions across and runs that out like he ran last
Speaker 1: week and scored a touchdown on and then they throw
Speaker 1: the screen on the backside. I mean, that was amazing
Speaker 1: that they literally watched that on film. I'm sure they
Speaker 1: are preparing for it all week. And then Adam Gates
Speaker 1: did a great job of having something to cater off that.
Speaker 1: You know that that was That's something that you have
Speaker 1: to do as an offensive coordinator. You have to break
Speaker 1: your tendencies. You have to mix things up because teams
Speaker 1: will get lazy, they start to look they start to
Speaker 1: look at your plays. Okay, this is what they're gonna do.
Speaker 1: And they stopped their own business. As you saw on
Speaker 1: that point. One of the safeties, who was Guarden Griffin,
Speaker 1: his eyes, his eyes were bad. He started to go
Speaker 1: in the backfield. I'm gonna go get a sack, and
Speaker 1: then Ryan Griffin catches the ball and walks into the
Speaker 1: end zone. You know what I loved about the against
Speaker 1: the Raiders was they had a thirteen to three lead
Speaker 1: at half time time point lead, but they came out
Speaker 1: in the second half and did what good football teams do.
Speaker 1: They put the foot on the gas and they took
Speaker 1: care of business. At twenty one point flurry in the
Speaker 1: third quarter where you were havn't you were watching complimentary
Speaker 1: football at its best. Absolutely, and and that you know
Speaker 1: that that attributes a lot to the leadership and the
Speaker 1: maturity of this team. Uh, they're taking those next steps
Speaker 1: and becoming a better team. Because listen, a young football team,
Speaker 1: when they're having success, they get comfortable. This team didn't
Speaker 1: get comfortable. They said, listen, we gotta keep our foot
Speaker 1: in the gas, you know, and the leaders stepped up
Speaker 1: and continue to make big plays. Adam Gates didn't didn't
Speaker 1: pull any punches. Even at the end of the game.
Speaker 1: He was taking shots down the field. Because this team
Speaker 1: has to get better. There's some things that they have
Speaker 1: to work on. Just because they had to lead in
Speaker 1: the game doesn't mean you can't still get better as
Speaker 1: a team. Inside the Jets is supported by selective Insurance
Speaker 1: Eric Allen and Eric Coleman here or in selective Insurances
Speaker 1: about being uniquely insured. What can you say about the
Speaker 1: Jets offensive line, how they've responded of late? We talked
Speaker 1: about the injuries. Chumadonga the latest he's got mcl could
Speaker 1: be out. He's week the week right now, could be
Speaker 1: out on Sunday when the Jets faced the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 1: But Calvin Beachum is a returned to that left tackle spot.
Speaker 1: You're getting good play up front of the center position
Speaker 1: from Jonathan Harrison. How about the guards, Tom Compton at
Speaker 1: right guard, Alex Lewis at left guard, and then Brandon
Speaker 1: Shell had to come in yesterday when Adoga went down
Speaker 1: and he fills in at right tackle. I thought, overall
Speaker 1: the last two weeks has been the best football from
Speaker 1: the Jets offensive line. I agree with you, And it
Speaker 1: seems like having Calvin Beacham at that left tackle position
Speaker 1: puts everyone at ease, understanding that Sam Donald's back is protected.
Speaker 1: He's the anchor back there. He does his job, he
Speaker 1: shuts down that defensive end and it makes everyone else
Speaker 1: relaxed and just play ball. And you're seeing Compton, You're
Speaker 1: seeing Uh, You're seeing the rest of the players starting
Speaker 1: to double team down on the nose, are double team
Speaker 1: down on players get to that second level and create
Speaker 1: running lanes. And you know, the communication has been great.
Speaker 1: I think Johnson Harrison has done a great job of communicating.
Speaker 1: At that center position. You're not seeing the free runners anymore.
Speaker 1: You know, so everyone's on the same page, and it's
Speaker 1: great to see. What does it do for Donald's confidence
Speaker 1: that he's back there, he has times the time to throw.
Speaker 1: Now one sack against the Raiders, and I think you
Speaker 1: could look at the film and say, hey, maybe that
Speaker 1: was a coverage sack. With that being said, you think
Speaker 1: about some of those games in the past. He took
Speaker 1: a beating in Jacksonville. He was sacked eight times. These
Speaker 1: guys are not superman. We think they are. We think you,
Speaker 1: as a former National Football League player, is a robot.
Speaker 1: But that impacts you if you're going back there and
Speaker 1: you don't have time to throw, and you're getting thrown
Speaker 1: down to the ground and you repeatedly have to get
Speaker 1: yourself up. Now he's getting clean pockets, and he's showing
Speaker 1: that athletic ability, maneuver in a little bit to his laugh,
Speaker 1: maneuvering a little bit to his right, keeping his eyes
Speaker 1: down the field. And the Jets are making explosive place
Speaker 1: and they really are. And I mean I challenge anyone
Speaker 1: to step back there and get drilled about ten times
Speaker 1: by three pounder coming full speed. It's not fun and
Speaker 1: it's gonna make you uncomfortable in the pocket. But having
Speaker 1: that having that comfort, having that security of of being protected,
Speaker 1: it opens up a whole different thing for the quarterback.
Speaker 1: He can keep his eyes down the field. He can
Speaker 1: worry about what's going on with the coverages as opposed
Speaker 1: to who's pressure and who's getting beat? Where do I
Speaker 1: have to run to? And you're starting to see it
Speaker 1: because because Sam isn't worried about the rush, you know,
Speaker 1: and when when the rush does come, he's able to
Speaker 1: get out of the pocket, make a great decision to
Speaker 1: throw a ball away. He'll make a great throw to
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson. You know, he's really in his in his
Speaker 1: zone right now. Underrated move by Joe Douglas trading for
Speaker 1: demerious time and sequiring him from the New England Patriots,
Speaker 1: because here's a guy who's been so productive throughout his
Speaker 1: NFL career, also very successful in Adam Gaine's system, and
Speaker 1: I think the guys have really fed off of him
Speaker 1: on the field, inside the locker room. And it's no
Speaker 1: surprise when ron Toz Miles went on into reserve, the
Speaker 1: Jets gave him one of the seas. He is a
Speaker 1: captain absolutely, I mean, and it's great having a guy
Speaker 1: like da Marius Thomas in your room. You know, I
Speaker 1: remember playing for the Jets and they brought Ty Law
Speaker 1: into the room. And it's a different field when you
Speaker 1: have a champion, a guy who's won Super Bowls, a
Speaker 1: guy who's you know, been at the peak of his career.
Speaker 1: To have him in the room and to see how
Speaker 1: he prepares, to see how serious he takes practice, how
Speaker 1: serious he takes he takes notes, all the other players
Speaker 1: are gonna follow suit. And when you have a guy
Speaker 1: like Robby Anderson in the room, when you have young
Speaker 1: players in the room, they see that and it makes
Speaker 1: him step up their production and you're seeing it. As
Speaker 1: a result, they're playing great football at the wide receiver position.
Speaker 1: I mean, they'd already have a great coach in Sean Jefferson,
Speaker 1: but they're playing inspired ball. And we're gonna get to
Speaker 1: a defense here with Arthur Milette in our next segment
Speaker 1: after the break. But I just want to ask you
Speaker 1: real quick about what do you think about gaze the
Speaker 1: flee flicker so reverse flee flick. I mean he handoff
Speaker 1: to Bilal Paul pitches to Jameson Crowder, who pitches it
Speaker 1: back to Sam Donald, who throws today four mentioned Robby
Speaker 1: Anderson talk about how this guy is getting creative and
Speaker 1: his comfort zone now is this offense continues to progress.
Speaker 1: You know, It's funny, ever since Chris Johnson gave him
Speaker 1: that that confirmation that he was gonna be here, it
Speaker 1: was almost like everyone stopped playing to lose, playing not
Speaker 1: to lose, and they started playing to win, and they
Speaker 1: started taking chances down the field. And it's great to
Speaker 1: see those things because that's what everyone expects about of Gaze.
Speaker 1: You know, in training camp you see all the great
Speaker 1: the great packages and everything, and you're starting to see
Speaker 1: it right now. All right, we'll come right back. Which
Speaker 1: that's cornerback Arthur Roulette. You're listening to Inside the Jets
Speaker 1: on ESP in New York. Off actually looks right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Broxton burials all the way down at the one yard
Speaker 1: live like a lightning. He shut up the right scene
Speaker 1: and Sam Donald found him with a side on pro.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Inside the Jets were presented by e
Speaker 1: Y Building a Better Working World, Eric Ellen alongside Eric Coleman.
Speaker 1: Our player guest segment is presented by m Int Bank,
Speaker 1: the official community bank of your new York Jets. Without
Speaker 1: further ado, let's welcome in Jets cornerback Arthur Mallett, arthur Son,
Speaker 1: thanks for coming by seven tackles against the Oakland Raiders
Speaker 1: in a thirty four to three trouncing. What does Greg
Speaker 1: Williams expect from his cornerbacks, his defensive backs in terms
Speaker 1: of physicality, force cap, running hit. That's his model, man,
Speaker 1: force cap, running hit. Don't let anything get outside of you.
Speaker 1: And uh, that's our job. You play a lot of
Speaker 1: cover too, so the corner has gotta be able to tackle. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you've been doing a great job of it. Three
Speaker 1: tackles for lost yesterday, you know, flying around hitting running backs.
Speaker 1: You know, it's rare that you see corners that are
Speaker 1: willing to throw it in there. I gets the running back,
Speaker 1: but you know, you've been doing a heck of a job.
Speaker 1: What has it been like, you know, once you've been
Speaker 1: thrown into that starting role. I mean, is the pressure different?
Speaker 1: How do you feel? I mean, I wouldn't say the
Speaker 1: pressure different because Gray does a good job at practice
Speaker 1: of putting pressure on us to be great. So when
Speaker 1: I get in the game, I feel like it's easy.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, already know my job and
Speaker 1: I know what I need to do, so I'll have
Speaker 1: to do it's execute. So I mean there's no pressure.
Speaker 1: I mean I just do my job and have fun
Speaker 1: with the guys on the field. Man, what did you
Speaker 1: guys do in the back end to contain Derek Carr?
Speaker 1: There's not many games throughout his career where you're gonna
Speaker 1: see a stat line where he has a hundred twenty
Speaker 1: seven yards passing. And the other thing that you guys
Speaker 1: keyed upon all we I know, was getting off the
Speaker 1: field on third down. That was one of the best
Speaker 1: teams in the National Football League, converting more than forty
Speaker 1: seven percent at a time. You look at those numbers,
Speaker 1: five or fifteen, thirty three percent. So what were you
Speaker 1: guys doing in the back end? Oh man, we just
Speaker 1: try to hold out of disguise. You know. We looked
Speaker 1: at that shot clock. Once it hits two, then we
Speaker 1: can get to our coverage and whatever, and and Marcus
Speaker 1: made it a good job of a great job of
Speaker 1: quarterback and us to tell us where to move and
Speaker 1: when to get down to our coverage and went to
Speaker 1: dis guys and what the show. So we're gonna continue
Speaker 1: doing that, and I think it's gonna help us very well.
Speaker 1: Did you guys play more zone than maybe in the past.
Speaker 1: You don't want you know, you don't want to get
Speaker 1: Arthur doesn't want to give away too many secrets. But
Speaker 1: it seemed like you had Derek off his game where
Speaker 1: he was going back and he didn't know what he
Speaker 1: was looking at. Yeah, for sure, that's that's that's what
Speaker 1: we're supposed to do. Um we as a secondary you
Speaker 1: gotta work on the strength. All four of us have
Speaker 1: to be on the strength, and even five when it's
Speaker 1: then the go package and we have to be on
Speaker 1: the string. We can't show one thing and then guy
Speaker 1: showing something else. Now even know where we're in. So
Speaker 1: we try to work together and be be as a
Speaker 1: team and directly to the I love that how you
Speaker 1: talked about holding your disguise until the shot clock gets down,
Speaker 1: because I remember playing against Peyton Manning and he'll audible
Speaker 1: and he'll sit there and call called checks and he
Speaker 1: needs one guy and he's one guy to move. They
Speaker 1: called the snitch, and then he knows that's the covery.
Speaker 1: But if you can hold it and make the quarterback
Speaker 1: make his decision while he's dropping back. It makes it
Speaker 1: much more difficult. But how much do you guys know that?
Speaker 1: How much you guys enjoy that is defensive backs? That
Speaker 1: cat and mouse game where you might know you're probably
Speaker 1: thinking yesterday, are through a couple of times that we
Speaker 1: got him? Yeah, yeah, we got him right now? Right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's a great feeling, man, because you might just fall
Speaker 1: into one. You never know. So I mean it's a
Speaker 1: wonderful feeling. Like I said, we just got to continue
Speaker 1: doing that. So how much communication goes on back there?
Speaker 1: I don't think fans know. Say it's third down in
Speaker 1: five and you know, you and Marcus May and everyone's talking.
Speaker 1: How much community cation is there? When you see it
Speaker 1: look like oh this is it? This is it? Oh man,
Speaker 1: we might be like this is it? Like you might
Speaker 1: give him a tap, or we might just look at
Speaker 1: each other, but we know, like when when we get
Speaker 1: that stare like you got my back? You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So it's just one of those things where
Speaker 1: communication is key, especially on the down or a certain formation.
Speaker 1: What we studied all week. What does you just mentioned
Speaker 1: Marcus and he's kind of the guy flies under the
Speaker 1: radar obviously, he's the quarterback of the secondary. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: Jamal is a splash player and he's making a lot
Speaker 1: of play yeah right the go. He you can make
Speaker 1: the aregeument right now. He's the best safety in the
Speaker 1: National Football safety and the best safety international pat But
Speaker 1: I got you, period. But Marcus, what you said he
Speaker 1: is he's a command center. So what does that mean?
Speaker 1: What what is he doing for you guys in terms
Speaker 1: of getting you all just great communication, you know, being
Speaker 1: being it's precise with it though, not being not second
Speaker 1: guest in itself. I'm not saying if I want to
Speaker 1: do this, you do what I say. Period. And then
Speaker 1: we fall into plays and like we're supposed to, and
Speaker 1: I love it has things. I mean when you joined
Speaker 1: the Jets where things kind of turned up and not
Speaker 1: from other secondaries you may have played in because of
Speaker 1: Greg Williams, because of Jamal Adams and the demand for
Speaker 1: greatness that they that you know, Listen, Jamal Adams the
Speaker 1: best player in the league at his position. When he
Speaker 1: goes out there and he works hard, I'm sure it
Speaker 1: makes it to where everyone else works hard. It was
Speaker 1: there a different level of intensity when you got here
Speaker 1: to the Jets, it's crazy. Um, Greg knows me from
Speaker 1: New Orleans, so Dennis Allen learned under Greg Williams, so
Speaker 1: it's kind of the same intensity. I felt like I
Speaker 1: was at home, man, um, and I had Aaron Glenn
Speaker 1: as a coach. He's actually a farmer jet um, so
Speaker 1: everybody to know about him. So, uh, the intensity didn't
Speaker 1: change much. I just felt like I was at home,
Speaker 1: like I said, man, and I loved it. What's been
Speaker 1: the mentality for you throughout your career? You mentioned New Orleans,
Speaker 1: You went to Memphis and signed there is an undrafted
Speaker 1: free agent in two thousand seven of the team, you
Speaker 1: were in the practice squad and the roster. Last season
Speaker 1: you were with the Colts, went back to the Saints
Speaker 1: practice squad. This year active roster, practice squad. Now you're starting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's been a roller coaster, man, But you gotta you know,
Speaker 1: you gotta keep your mind on one thing, one thing only,
Speaker 1: and that's getting on the field, making plays and winning.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna keep continuing doing that my whole career.
Speaker 1: And you know, adversity doesn't set me back. It just
Speaker 1: makes me stronger and I love it. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: and that's uh, it's really showing them, you know, the
Speaker 1: the way that you approached the game, all the things
Speaker 1: that you've been through, and it's like you're one of
Speaker 1: those players that you can see in the way you
Speaker 1: play that you're enjoying the moment and then that is
Speaker 1: not gonna get too big for you. So coming up, listen,
Speaker 1: you got five games left. It's a big stretch. Uh,
Speaker 1: what's the mentality coming in there? Is it like a
Speaker 1: must win? I mean, obviously every game you want to win.
Speaker 1: Just do your job with your job. You already know
Speaker 1: how it is you play the ball man, Do your job,
Speaker 1: Stay focused on what we can be where your feet are,
Speaker 1: That's what Gay says. A lot be where your feet are.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, give it a hundred percent.
Speaker 1: I think will do well. What do you like most
Speaker 1: about rookie bless Austin. He's a fun guy to be around,
Speaker 1: and he can tackle, and he's aggressive and he plays
Speaker 1: with swag. And that's that's one thing we're trying to
Speaker 1: you know, that's one thing that I think we found
Speaker 1: out that we found with our secondary that we we
Speaker 1: can play with swag and we can play with confidence,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna all pump each other up and you know,
Speaker 1: do what we have to do to win. Did you
Speaker 1: have high expectations for him as soon as he got
Speaker 1: in the lineup, because here's a guy who the last
Speaker 1: time he had played two years ago, Yeah, at Rutgers.
Speaker 1: But we had who do we have on last week
Speaker 1: talking about how he was mixing it up on scout
Speaker 1: team with even Brian Winners? What what what was your
Speaker 1: memory of that practice and that and you you said,
Speaker 1: he just he has that he has that man, he
Speaker 1: has that ump to him. He has you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, He's not scared to compete and that's what
Speaker 1: I love about him. And now he's gonna he's learning
Speaker 1: on the fly and he he's been he's getting better
Speaker 1: every day. He's he's you know, and he's doing us
Speaker 1: to do to be successful. Was that Marcus May's best
Speaker 1: game in two thousand nineteen. I know you have a
Speaker 1: lot of appreciation, a lot of respect for him because
Speaker 1: he but he seemed to be all over the place,
Speaker 1: including comfortable. Yeah, he's getting comfortable, and I can see
Speaker 1: it in him. I can see the confidence the way
Speaker 1: he walks on and off the field. So I'm excited
Speaker 1: to see what you can do from here. You listen,
Speaker 1: since any Bengals. Sunday, the Fellas were asked about them, saying, hey,
Speaker 1: it's only eleven teams. They're a good team though, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and is that how you guys have to approach it?
Speaker 1: Do you even look at the record when you're watching film? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I look at what they do. I look at their scheme.
Speaker 1: I mean, I play every team the same, I give
Speaker 1: every team the same respect. Um, they're a good team
Speaker 1: and we have to go in their handle business. So
Speaker 1: has this team done a very good job this season,
Speaker 1: no matter what the circumstances of coming in on Wednesday, resetting, refocusing,
Speaker 1: and treating it as a one game season? Have you
Speaker 1: have you played against a J? Green before? So? Do
Speaker 1: you go back and watch film with the chance that
Speaker 1: he could play? You go back and watch Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: looking at him already, seeing his press releases. Do we'll
Speaker 1: see what he does in his own high sisters roused down.
Speaker 1: So you know what I'm saying, I'm studying him like
Speaker 1: he's gonna play. So you're looking at him, are already?
Speaker 1: So that study him like he's gonna play? So you
Speaker 1: want no surprises. Okay, when you heard that, I know
Speaker 1: you study system and you have to study the receivers.
Speaker 1: But today's news, you're probably thinking when you woke up
Speaker 1: this morning, we're facing another rookie quarterback, Ryan Finley. But
Speaker 1: since and he announced this afternoon that indeed they will
Speaker 1: go back to Andy Dalton, the redheaded rifle man. And so, uh,
Speaker 1: what did you think about that when you heard the news?
Speaker 1: Study on Yeah, studying him? Does he does he change
Speaker 1: the look of their offense? Of course? I mean he's
Speaker 1: a great quarterback. You can make all the throws. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. He has he has something to
Speaker 1: him that's special. So he wasn't in a franchise quarterback
Speaker 1: for a long time for no reason. So we gotta
Speaker 1: we gotta, we gotta boy him. What can you tell me?
Speaker 1: You talked about a j Green a little bit? How
Speaker 1: about Tyler Boyd? He can struct to feel a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: starts to feel a little bit. I feel like we'll
Speaker 1: do a good job against Okay, okay, and then it
Speaker 1: all starts for them. I think with the run game,
Speaker 1: Joe mixing, we got to stop. Okay, And you guys
Speaker 1: have been doing a good job. What's uh, everybody talks
Speaker 1: about it this year, the run defense, And the thing
Speaker 1: that I think that makes you guys special is what
Speaker 1: you guys do in the back end because they are
Speaker 1: dominating the trenches. But when you guys have like somebody
Speaker 1: like a b pool, when you have somebody like hey,
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, when you guys even pop in there, Arthur
Speaker 1: Mollots playing on the outside, bless Austin. You guys all
Speaker 1: get your notice dirty. Oh yeah, we can't be as
Speaker 1: good and put your face in the man, Yeah you got.
Speaker 1: You gotta be able to face gain somebody. You gotta
Speaker 1: be able to look amend in his eye and and
Speaker 1: be able to tackle him. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You can't shot away from contact. And that's one thing
Speaker 1: we brought ourselves on. We don't shot away from contact.
Speaker 1: What's the confidence? Is a group over all? Is a team?
Speaker 1: I know you guys carry yourself with swagging the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball, but it seems like the team
Speaker 1: is really coming into someone right now. No, we're mentioning together, man,
Speaker 1: and we're playing. We're finally playing complimentary football. All three
Speaker 1: phases on special teams, offense and defense and I think
Speaker 1: if we continue to do that, we'll be successful. And
Speaker 1: that's how main focus, man, coming in on Wednesday and
Speaker 1: getting better one day at a time. Be way your
Speaker 1: feet are. How is how exciting is it as a
Speaker 1: player when you're on defense knowing that you guys have
Speaker 1: had had success three games in a row and you're
Speaker 1: running back still hasn't had a hundred yard It's fun, man,
Speaker 1: it's fun. But we gotta keep that street going. We
Speaker 1: can't get complacent or get comfortable, you know, because as
Speaker 1: soon as you get comfortable, that's when it happens a
Speaker 1: hundred yard game right there. So you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: We gotta put our hard head on and keep working.
Speaker 1: Why I mean, are you still waiting for Levian to
Speaker 1: get busy? Oh? Yeah, because he's bound. I mean, listen, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. He stiffed on me a couple
Speaker 1: of times in practice. I was like, okay, okay, I'll
Speaker 1: see why they call you Levi on Bill. Well, Arthur,
Speaker 1: you guys have not been letting opposing offenses get comfortable.
Speaker 1: You've got a chance to complete a perfect third quarter
Speaker 1: of this season Sunday in Cincinnati. Keep on doing good
Speaker 1: things out there, and thank you so much for stopping blank,
Speaker 1: you for having me man, We will be right back
Speaker 1: you here listening to the Inside the Jets out in
Speaker 1: ESPN New York, Donald in the Shotgun takes the staffer
Speaker 1: and Donald don a keepers in a Jet touchdown Sam
Speaker 1: Donal a little sunry quarterback keeper and he runs it
Speaker 1: in from before his second runsing touchdown. This season, welcome
Speaker 1: back to Inside the Jets, whereas Banderbolt Sports expirits Inside
Speaker 1: and Windham Hamilton Park Hotel Jets Reward members don't forget
Speaker 1: to enter the code football and your Jets Rewards portal
Speaker 1: during the show to earn a hundred points again. That
Speaker 1: code is football, Eric Coleman, thirty four is the magic
Speaker 1: number for the Jets the last three games. Thirty four
Speaker 1: even number. That's a beautiful number. You know. It's funny
Speaker 1: because you know when I got into the NFL, her
Speaker 1: Maderage used to preach, all we need to do is
Speaker 1: score twenty four points because the average that I think
Speaker 1: is like one. If we scored twenty four points a game,
Speaker 1: then we'll win a bunch of games. And thirty four
Speaker 1: you're bound to win if you're putting up that many points.
Speaker 1: You have a defensive solid as the Jets half right now,
Speaker 1: and it's great to see him putting up those numbers.
Speaker 1: I believe this is the first time in franchise history
Speaker 1: where the Jets had a thirty point lead in consecutive games.
Speaker 1: How about that. That's impressive. I mean that doesn't happen
Speaker 1: often in the National Football And I don't care who
Speaker 1: you're going against. That's a that's a tough task, you know,
Speaker 1: to go out there and win. I don't care what
Speaker 1: the records say. These are all NFL players, are all
Speaker 1: the best players in the world, and the line between
Speaker 1: a great team and a and a bad team is
Speaker 1: very thin. So on the injury front, Darryl Roberts might
Speaker 1: return to practice this week. He could be available, most believe,
Speaker 1: for the Jets against the Cincinnati Bengals. But this is
Speaker 1: a good problem to have. You always want to have depth.
Speaker 1: But if you've watched all Arthur Millette and rookie bless
Speaker 1: austin the last couple of weeks, you might want to
Speaker 1: be in that defensive room saying, hey, we're gonna stand
Speaker 1: tight right now. Yeah, I mean it is, We're gonna
Speaker 1: hold the problem to have because now Darryl Roberts doesn't
Speaker 1: have to rush back. You know, you're getting good play
Speaker 1: out of your corners, out of your young guys. Uh
Speaker 1: And And really what it does is, as you mentioned,
Speaker 1: it adds death, adds versatility to what you can do
Speaker 1: on defense. You can add a package with some extra
Speaker 1: corners and and everyone's getting this playing experience. It just
Speaker 1: makes your team better. What do you think about the
Speaker 1: news when you heard the Bengals were indeed starting Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton on Sunday, Because I was thinking, for a second, Wow,
Speaker 1: Greg Williams is getting his hands on a rookie quarterback
Speaker 1: for the third time in four weeks. Yeah, that that
Speaker 1: would have been nice to have a rookie quarterback because
Speaker 1: there's so many different things you can do with the
Speaker 1: rookie because they haven't seen at all. But Andy Dalton
Speaker 1: is a guy who although he's not having a great year,
Speaker 1: if they don't have a good team around him, he
Speaker 1: still has the tools. He's still been an elite quarterback
Speaker 1: in this league. He understands defenses and it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a little more difficult on the defensive side of the
Speaker 1: things as far as confusing and what disguises mixing up
Speaker 1: coverages because he's really seen it all. Yeah, we're gonna
Speaker 1: get into that matchup in a little bit. But I
Speaker 1: talked to you about it last week. Is if you
Speaker 1: looked at the schedule, you had to say, if you're
Speaker 1: a Jets fan, we got a chance these next three
Speaker 1: we can get to six and seven. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: what I'll tell you right now, Eric, this team should
Speaker 1: be six and seven before they go to Baltimore on
Speaker 1: Thursday night, and that would be beautiful. And they can't
Speaker 1: do that. But yes, we can sit here and do that. Radio.
Speaker 1: I mean, looking at the schedule on who's coming up, Listen,
Speaker 1: this is a great opportunity for the Jets to make
Speaker 1: a nice run. And you know, I don't know if
Speaker 1: that ends up with them being, you know, in the
Speaker 1: playoffs or anything like that, but all I know is
Speaker 1: they're progressing. They're getting better every week, and that's all
Speaker 1: that counts. Right now. You're just trying to get better,
Speaker 1: improve your program. This is a new you know, general manager,
Speaker 1: new head coach, you know, so many new new pieces
Speaker 1: to this puzzle that you take that momentum in to
Speaker 1: the offseason. The guys and limit. I love the attitude
Speaker 1: of the guys. Because Henry Anderson was asked about it, Hey,
Speaker 1: you had the windless benggles, they're all on eleven. He said,
Speaker 1: It's not like where anything special. We are four and seven.
Speaker 1: You start one in seven, you dig yourself quite a hole.
Speaker 1: And the Jets did that. But with that being said,
Speaker 1: it's been very impressive that the way this entire group
Speaker 1: has responded and listen, they couldn't make it interesting down
Speaker 1: the stretch. I know Adam Gay said back in the
Speaker 1: spring they would be playing meaningful football and November and December, well,
Speaker 1: if they get the six and seven, that's a meaningful
Speaker 1: football game against the Baltimore Raving. Absolutely, I mean, and
Speaker 1: they can do a lot of do a lot of
Speaker 1: damage going out there playing the way they're playing, and
Speaker 1: it makes for a dangerous team. You know, you give
Speaker 1: someone confidence, you give them some some some success, and
Speaker 1: they can beat anyone. You know that this league is
Speaker 1: not is not one where you know you match up.
Speaker 1: He's not playing on paper. You go out there and
Speaker 1: played on the field. And when you got Jamal Adams
Speaker 1: fly around, when you got Sam Donald throwing the ball
Speaker 1: with confidence, Robby Anderson making great plays. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: who's covering them. You know, they can score points. They
Speaker 1: can put up thirty four points, they can stop teams
Speaker 1: and hold them to a hundred and twenty seven yards passing.
Speaker 1: Who's to say they can't win them all. So there's
Speaker 1: a couple of things that you'd love to see areas
Speaker 1: of improvement here down the stretch, the run game, you're
Speaker 1: getting the volume. I know Adam Gates wants to see
Speaker 1: some more chunk plays there, some more seven eight nine
Speaker 1: yard games. But I thought Levan Bell looked awfully fresh
Speaker 1: against the Raiders, and he started the game off making
Speaker 1: a statement a twenty three yard reception down the visiting sideline,
Speaker 1: one hander that beautiful. Few backs in the National Football
Speaker 1: League can make that catch. Yeah, I mean, this guy
Speaker 1: has a tremendous amount of talent, and although he's not
Speaker 1: been able to hit that hundred yard mark running the football,
Speaker 1: he's trying to contribute in other ways. He's doing blitz
Speaker 1: pick ups, he's catching the ball out of the backfield,
Speaker 1: he's being a leader, he's having a great attitude and
Speaker 1: really brings a lot to this team. Do you think
Speaker 1: about Sam Donald again calling his own number by the
Speaker 1: goal line there the the read option and everybody's thinking, oh,
Speaker 1: it's gonna probably be the back here. And then he
Speaker 1: gets a little help from Ryan Griffin. But I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what. He put his head down and he took
Speaker 1: went right over defensive back, carried him in an enz. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he ran right through him and it was great to see.
Speaker 1: You know, Sam is an athletic guy, and he's a
Speaker 1: competitor just like anyone else. He chooses to slide, but
Speaker 1: when it's on that goal line, please believe he's gonna
Speaker 1: run through you and score that touchdown. It was great
Speaker 1: to see. I love Arthur m Allott before playing a
Speaker 1: little koy you didn't want to talk about coveragees too much.
Speaker 1: It sure seems to me that the Jets were playing
Speaker 1: some more zone in the back end. Yeah. You know,
Speaker 1: when you play a lot of zone, you mix up
Speaker 1: the looks up front. It's hard to it's hard to
Speaker 1: find those spaces for some quarterbacks. You know. When you
Speaker 1: have the athletic players at the Jets do who cover
Speaker 1: a lot of ground, they can bait you into making
Speaker 1: some plays, you know, throwing it, throwing some interceptions. So
Speaker 1: I think it's smart, you know, Greg Williams is known
Speaker 1: for his blitz packages, and everyone all week prepares for
Speaker 1: blitz blitz, and then you drop back into his own
Speaker 1: You're like, hold on a second, and that just gives
Speaker 1: your pass rush that extra second to get to the quarter.
Speaker 1: And then we talked a little bit about it last week.
Speaker 1: Is everybody's saying seeing a defensive back comes sometimes and
Speaker 1: they're saying, well, they're definitely sending numbers. Well, Greg Williams
Speaker 1: continues to baffle opponents, I think by rushing four a
Speaker 1: lot of times, but you don't know who those four
Speaker 1: are coming. Yeah, I mean making those making those offensive
Speaker 1: linement is the same as a quarterback when you make
Speaker 1: them when they get to make a decision why the
Speaker 1: play is going on, that just gives an opportunity for
Speaker 1: a mistake. And when you when you're anticipating these guys
Speaker 1: with their hand in the dirt to rush and they
Speaker 1: drop back in coverage and then someone else comes, that's
Speaker 1: a that's an opportunity for miscommunication, which they've been doing.
Speaker 1: And the Jets have a group of defensive backs who
Speaker 1: are tough, physical and nasty. Not every group of defensive
Speaker 1: that you've been in defensive back fields before and not
Speaker 1: every cornerback is going to come up and play the
Speaker 1: run or is going to be willing to take on
Speaker 1: a block. It seems like a lot of these guys
Speaker 1: that Greg has do that and they don't mind doing it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're playing with they're tough, they're physical,
Speaker 1: and the most important thing is they're communicating. You know,
Speaker 1: they're doing a great job of communicating. That's why you're
Speaker 1: not seeing a lot of big plays giving up. They're
Speaker 1: on the same page, they're studying together. You can tell
Speaker 1: that this group of defensive backs is a true unit,
Speaker 1: Like they probably go have dinner together and you know,
Speaker 1: it's just the same as offensive line. You have to
Speaker 1: be on the same page. And when you talk about
Speaker 1: a guy like Marcus May quarterback and leading the way, uh,
Speaker 1: making that communication so everyone's on the same page, it
Speaker 1: puts those cornerbacks at ease to pull the trigger and listen.
Speaker 1: The bottom line, some of those breaks the Jets weren't
Speaker 1: getting early in the season, they're getting them now. Early
Speaker 1: in that ball game, we might have had a different
Speaker 1: bit of tone to that. Because the Raiders move the
Speaker 1: ball in that first possess I should hunter run for
Speaker 1: all with an early drop. Then you think about that
Speaker 1: second drive. Tyrrell Williams is open over the middle of
Speaker 1: the field. He drops the ball. So now the Jets
Speaker 1: are finally starting to get a couple of bounces in
Speaker 1: their directions. Yeah, that's what happens when you play good ball.
Speaker 1: You know, stuff starts to work out for you. You know,
Speaker 1: you play you play honest football, you play hard football.
Speaker 1: The ball starts to bounce your away sometimes. What do
Speaker 1: you think about Braxton Burrios. We talked about the play
Speaker 1: call a little bit before, but not only did he
Speaker 1: have that sixty nine yard or but he also had
Speaker 1: the long punt return. The Jets were unable to capitalize
Speaker 1: prior to the end of the first half because there
Speaker 1: was a holding penalty there because they almost got in
Speaker 1: at the time Montgomery pitch and catch. But that's gotta do.
Speaker 1: Wonders for his confidence as well. Absolutely, when you can
Speaker 1: come into the game and contribute, I mean, and on
Speaker 1: that that play, that fake screen that he ran, I mean,
Speaker 1: it looked like he was shot out of a rocket
Speaker 1: and it was great to see that breakaway speed. But
Speaker 1: that just builds his confidence. So now when he gets
Speaker 1: thrown into the lineup and he's lined up against the corner.
Speaker 1: You know that you're gonna beat him, and that confidence
Speaker 1: will will help you create a lot of big plays.
Speaker 1: So Jamal Adams picks up at half a sack yesterday.
Speaker 1: Now he's up the six and a half. Adrian Wilson
Speaker 1: NFL record for defensive back is eight. Will he break
Speaker 1: that record? I think so. You know there's plenty of
Speaker 1: time left. You know you're playing against a couple of
Speaker 1: young guys coming up in the schedule. I mean, Jamal
Speaker 1: when he gets lined up one on one against the
Speaker 1: running back, he's gonna win that matchup and he's gonna
Speaker 1: beat the running back, whether he has to run through him,
Speaker 1: run around him, he finds his way to the quarterback.
Speaker 1: So I do think he finds a way to get
Speaker 1: to that record. All right. So we're gonna come back
Speaker 1: in our final segment and you jump into the Jets
Speaker 1: of Bangles as the Jets look to extend their wind
Speaker 1: streak to four. You you are listening to Inside the
Speaker 1: Jets on ESPN New York First and Tenerators back to
Speaker 1: throw car throws, run up the medal. It's tipped up
Speaker 1: in the air and picked on my pool and he's
Speaker 1: gonna go into the ends on through a touchdown. How
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? Bryant Sex conflicted pass from Derek Carr. Remember,
Speaker 1: Jets fans, you can stream Inside the Jets live through
Speaker 1: the Jets app presented by M and T Bank. Go
Speaker 1: to the app store or Google Play Now and search
Speaker 1: Official New York Jets. Eric Allen and Eric Coleman. Here
Speaker 1: at Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel.
Speaker 1: Kyrie is taking care of us back in New York City,
Speaker 1: justin on the controls. Here in Florida Park, New Jersey.
Speaker 1: It's Thanksgiving week? What best weeks of the year. Did
Speaker 1: you ever have a game Thanksgiving? Yeah? I had a
Speaker 1: multiple games play. We played at the Cowboys a few times,
Speaker 1: and I played in Detroit for two years, so we
Speaker 1: always had Thanksgiving then, so it was always a special
Speaker 1: game to play. What was your record overall? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Come on, I wish I remembered, but I know that
Speaker 1: I know that I had a lot of good Thanksgivings.
Speaker 1: What did it mean to you as a player to
Speaker 1: be part of that game where you knew everybody in
Speaker 1: the nation was watching. It was always fun, you know
Speaker 1: because you I mean, like you said, everyone in the
Speaker 1: nations watching, you know, whether they're sitting down, eating on
Speaker 1: the couch talking, you know, the game you're you know,
Speaker 1: you're being watched at some point in time. But it
Speaker 1: was honored to be able to play in that game,
Speaker 1: to to be at the level in the NFL. It's
Speaker 1: like you just you're thankful, you know, you really are
Speaker 1: thankful for the opportunity to play in the NFL, Thankful
Speaker 1: for the people around you, for your teammates, and uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's really a special kind of game. I will
Speaker 1: impact your schedule. I'm not asking specifically about the Jets
Speaker 1: and you're telling me about the hours, but just what
Speaker 1: typically over the years during your playing career did your
Speaker 1: coaches do on a Thursday with a cut meetings a
Speaker 1: little bit? Would you have a regular practice? I know
Speaker 1: there will be no Bida vailability here, uh, for the
Speaker 1: people are covered the Jets here on Thursday. Well, when
Speaker 1: you have a Sunday game after Thanksgiving, typically you're out
Speaker 1: of the office a little early. You know, you you'll
Speaker 1: leave the office after after practice, probably around one o'clock
Speaker 1: to be with their family, and there's always a group
Speaker 1: of players that don't have family here, so they'll put
Speaker 1: together nice Thanksgiving dinner for the players to get together,
Speaker 1: or some of the veterans will have you over their house.
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a really still a special day.
Speaker 1: Although you sometimes you're not with your family, they still
Speaker 1: make it great. Next up on ESPN New York tonight
Speaker 1: is Larry Hardisty and that's on ESPN New York ninety
Speaker 1: point seven. Of course, Hey, what I wanted to ask
Speaker 1: you was John Gruden said after the game, Raider's head coach.
Speaker 1: I think the big thing they do is a great
Speaker 1: job with Adams in their disguise package. They have a
Speaker 1: good nucleus of players. There are a lot better than
Speaker 1: people think. On defense, let me tell you now, that
Speaker 1: guy is a very good offensive play caller and game planner.
Speaker 1: And that just speaks to what Greg Williams and that
Speaker 1: defense is doing disguise wise. What are they doing so
Speaker 1: effectively pre snap well? And they mix things up. You know,
Speaker 1: they may show once a single safety high, markets may
Speaker 1: be high and uh and Jamal Adams maybe in the
Speaker 1: box and everyone knows when Jamal is in the box
Speaker 1: he's getting everyone's attention, so on the snap of the ball,
Speaker 1: he might run out and play cover two. So now
Speaker 1: that changes that quarterback's mindset to I have to get
Speaker 1: the ball out quick too. Now there's seven people back
Speaker 1: in coverage. Now where do I go? And that's a
Speaker 1: lot of the times you're seeing them hold the ball.
Speaker 1: He's trying to trying to figure out, you know what
Speaker 1: what is the angle? What is the angle here? But
Speaker 1: disguises can can make quarterbacks make decisions during that three
Speaker 1: seconds that they have to throw the ball. Uh makes
Speaker 1: it tough a lot of times. What they're doing now
Speaker 1: with the Jets is they're bringing seven guys to the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and acting like they're gonna blitz. Sometimes
Speaker 1: they may bring them all, sometimes they drop them back
Speaker 1: into coverage and it really makes it difficult on your protection,
Speaker 1: your quarterback, and the offensive coordinator on his play calling.
Speaker 1: What are you expecting from Cincinnati if you're a player.
Speaker 1: I loved what Arthur said, they're a good team, but
Speaker 1: the record says they're not a good team. What you
Speaker 1: expect from the Bengals a team that is going back
Speaker 1: to its veteran quarterback Andy Dalton is is in his
Speaker 1: ninth season. But that's got to be a tough situation
Speaker 1: going to work every day and not getting those results
Speaker 1: and wondering what's gonna happen in the future. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it's tough when you're having a losing year. You know,
Speaker 1: you're you're fighting for your job. You know, in this instance,
Speaker 1: when you're in Cincinnati, you can tell they're still fighting.
Speaker 1: They just took uh Steelers down the very winnable game
Speaker 1: against the Steelers, forced them to bench their quarterback. And
Speaker 1: you know, the first game of the year, they lost
Speaker 1: the Seattle in Seattle by one point. So this is
Speaker 1: a team that has the talent. It's just about confidence,
Speaker 1: is about everyone doing their job and understanding their role,
Speaker 1: and it's only a matter of time before they put
Speaker 1: it together. Do you think this is a golden opportunity
Speaker 1: for the Jets to get that run game going, because
Speaker 1: statistically you look at the Bengals and they are last
Speaker 1: in the NFL in yards allowed per game, last against
Speaker 1: the rush. Yeah, I mean, I think this is a
Speaker 1: great opportunity to establish that run and you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to be disciplined with it. You're gonna have to be patient,
Speaker 1: and stubborn with the run. But there's gonna be some
Speaker 1: opportunities in the run game, and that really sets up
Speaker 1: to to what Sam does, you know, taking shots down
Speaker 1: the field, getting outside of the pocket. I think this
Speaker 1: is a great game to get Levy on Bill going,
Speaker 1: get Below going and uh and control that line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: How about what they have up front? I think of
Speaker 1: those old reliables. Gino Atkins for a while we were
Speaker 1: talking about him, is one of the more dominant interior
Speaker 1: players of football. Carlos Dunlaps feels like he's been there
Speaker 1: thirty five years. Yeah, it does seem like they've been
Speaker 1: there for a long time. And Carlos Dunlap is a
Speaker 1: guy who I would train with in the off season
Speaker 1: along with John Abraham. And I thought John Abraham was
Speaker 1: a big guy. Carlos Dunlap is as a few inches
Speaker 1: taller than a very good athlete. He's he's still you know,
Speaker 1: he can still be dominant in spurts getting after the quarterback.
Speaker 1: But Gino Atkins has been a presence in the middle. He's, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's very active for defensive tackles. So he's definitely gonna
Speaker 1: be someone they're gonna have to get four hands on.
Speaker 1: And listen, you mentioned a J. Green before with Arthur.
Speaker 1: What kind of spark would that provide them if they
Speaker 1: were able to get him back in the lineup. You're
Speaker 1: talking about one of the finest receivers just played this
Speaker 1: game in the last couple of decades. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: it's uh. Then bringing back the Bengals bringing back Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton as their their quarterback kind of makes me feel
Speaker 1: like you might be in the mix, because if I'm
Speaker 1: a J. Green, I don't want to go out there
Speaker 1: and play with the rookie. I want to play with
Speaker 1: the guy who's got me to, you know, to the
Speaker 1: elite level that I'm at. He understands the way I
Speaker 1: run routes. He understands where to throw the ball in
Speaker 1: the deep ball. So if I'm the Jets, you'd be
Speaker 1: smart to prepare for a J. Green and some big
Speaker 1: play opportunities. I've always been of the thinking it is
Speaker 1: hard to go winless in the National Football League. They're
Speaker 1: on eleven, they could go winless. You just don't want
Speaker 1: to be the one who where they get that first one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it and it starts tough when you're playing a
Speaker 1: team that that hasn't won a game or is having
Speaker 1: a tough year. You want to jump on him early
Speaker 1: and often. You want to break their will to win
Speaker 1: in the in the first quarter. You want you want
Speaker 1: them to go in the halftime with their heads down,
Speaker 1: doubting each other, arguing and doing the same things that
Speaker 1: got them winless. So it's gonna be important for the
Speaker 1: Jet to get off to a great start and listen,
Speaker 1: this might be one of those games in Ohio where
Speaker 1: it kind of feels like a lot of green and
Speaker 1: white pockets it. I anticipate a lot of Jets fans there.
Speaker 1: I know Jamal Adams took umbridge to the Raiders fans
Speaker 1: showing up in pregame warm ups and he used at
Speaker 1: his motivation. He said, after the game, Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I felt a little bit disrespected in our own house.
Speaker 1: Raiders fans there. Bengals, they hosted Pittsburgh in a game
Speaker 1: that they could have won. Yesterday. You talked about that
Speaker 1: e but for people who were there, they said it
Speaker 1: felt like a Pittsburgh home game. Yeah. I mean, when
Speaker 1: you're losing, and when you've had a culture of losing,
Speaker 1: know your fans are reluctant to go. You know, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be cold and Cincinnati it's gonna be uncomfortable. So
Speaker 1: some of those fans are like, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna watch it on TV. And it'd be great
Speaker 1: to have Jets fans there. I know the defense would
Speaker 1: be inspired, offense would be inspired by having them out there. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's always fun. When we used to play down in
Speaker 1: Miami and then we used to call it New York South.
Speaker 1: You know we're doing the Jets chan and the crowd
Speaker 1: at the end of the game because our our fans
Speaker 1: traveled that Well yeah again, I'm just getting back to it.
Speaker 1: Is that think about Cincinnati very winnable game they come home,
Speaker 1: you oh, Miami one. These guys can't think about that.
Speaker 1: And I've been so impressed this year what Gayson Williams
Speaker 1: and brand Boy or an entire coaching staff have done
Speaker 1: with these guys because they've been focused on the task
Speaker 1: at hand. I don't want to anticipate to you, you've
Speaker 1: been around these guys, you talk to them. I don't
Speaker 1: want to anticipate any kind of letdown. I anticipate to
Speaker 1: Jets go out there on Sunday and take care of business.
Speaker 1: I really do I do is what I do is well.
Speaker 1: You know, the leadership on this team, you know Jamal
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, Uh, you know every every a McClinton, they're
Speaker 1: not going to accept anything but great effort. You know,
Speaker 1: you watch the way they play. Look at leby On
Speaker 1: hasn't had a hundred yard game, but every time he
Speaker 1: gets the ball, he's breaking three or four tackles. He's
Speaker 1: doing whatever it takes to get that extra yard to
Speaker 1: help his team. And that's the attitude of this team.
Speaker 1: That's the attitude that Adam Gates has, Greg Williams has,
Speaker 1: Brant Bowyer has. It's contagious. You know, although they have
Speaker 1: they start off the season on a rough patch, they're
Speaker 1: they're in their winning ways. They understand that they play hard,
Speaker 1: they play smart, Uh play they play physical. They're gonna
Speaker 1: win a lot of games. Uh. Favorite Thanksgiving food, My
