We are broadcasting live from 7 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel. 8 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,919 Speaker 1: Eric Ellen alongside Eric Coleman. It is rather quiet in 9 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: here tonight, everybody away with their families, I think, starting 10 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: to celebrate the holiday season. Merry Christmas and happy Holidays 11 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: to you and yours. E The Jets are hot here 12 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: in the holiday season. Left for dead one and seven 13 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: at midway point, the Jets have suddenly won five and seven, 14 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: have a chance to finish the second half of the 15 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: two thousand n team campaign with the six and two records. 16 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: So what does that say about Adam Gayson company, the 17 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: way they've rebounded and played down a stretch. Well, I mean, 18 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: I think it speaks to the great job of coaching 19 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: that they've done. Listen, this is a new program, a 20 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: new way of doing things on offense, on defense, new 21 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: coordinators and things took a while to catch on. You know, 22 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: they had fought through a lot of injuries. I think 23 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: they're developing a lot of young talent and it's really showing. Uh, 24 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: you know, the camaraderie, the schemes, everything is coming together 25 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: right now. At the end of the inside, the Jets 26 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: is supported by selective insurance, be uniquely ensured. Later on 27 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: here we will be joined by Jets center Jonathan Harrison. 28 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: What do you think about the Green and White's latest 29 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: victory is sixteen ten, gritty, tough effort against the Pittsbury Steelers. 30 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: That game was the outcome hung in the balance until 31 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: the final seconds when you saw Marcus May come up big. 32 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: And we're gonna talk about Marcus here momentarily, but what 33 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: do you think overall of that ball game? You're facing 34 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: a team who has playoff aspirations and Steelers they come 35 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: into your building, had a lot of fans. We saw 36 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,679 Speaker 1: the terrible tiles and the Jets turned them away. Well, 37 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: you know, it was kind of what I expected. We 38 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: talked about it in the pregame show about it being 39 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: a smash mouth football game. You know, a game where 40 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: you know you have the Steelers who want to run 41 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: the football against the Jets, who do a great job 42 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: of defending the run. Uh, same thing on the other 43 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: side of the ball. I thought the Jets did a 44 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: great job of coming out scoring on the first drive, 45 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: kind of you know, first punch down and letting them know, 46 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: and then the defense took off from there. I thought 47 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: they did a great job of getting three and ounce, 48 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: forcing turnovers and getting the offensive ball back in great 49 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: field position. I don't know if the Jets would have 50 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: been able to overcame what happened earlier in the season, 51 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: meaning there in control of that ball game. They got 52 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: a ten nothing lead, then all of a sudden, Pittsburgh 53 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: gets a field goal. It's ten three. T J. Watt 54 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: gets in there, strip sack if Sam Donald and before 55 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: you know it, there's a touchdown pass for Mason Rudolph 56 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: and it's ten ten at halftime and you're going in 57 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: and a lot of teams would have been deflated after that. 58 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: The Jets took it in a stride and they came 59 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,399 Speaker 1: out and they shut out the Steelers in the second half. Yeah, 60 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: I was very impressed by the way they went in 61 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: the halftime. Listen that you got tied up. They scored 62 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: with eight seconds left in the first half, which is 63 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: very disappointing. You want to hold him to a field 64 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: goal in that position. But uh, Nonetheless, they came out 65 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: second half fighting, They came out with a lot of energy. 66 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: The defense got better, you know, as the game went on, 67 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: and they did show a lot of maturity and finishing 68 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: that game doing a shutout. You know, defense completed a 69 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: shut out in the second half, and I thought it 70 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: was an excellent job by Greg Williams and the defense. 71 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: So we've talked often on this show, and rightfully so 72 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: about two time Pro bowler now Jamal Adams. What about 73 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: his safety partner Marcus May takes points off the board 74 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: there in the first half interception in the end zone 75 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: that late in the game he makes like a cornerback. 76 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: There's not many safeties in National Football League we can 77 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: make that play the p D that takes a chance 78 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: away of a James Washington touchdown, and that would have 79 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: been a tough loss. Yeah, Marcus May had a fantastic 80 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: game and he's been playing great all year. But the 81 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: problem is when you're when you're free safety doing your job, 82 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: you're not getting a lot of the accolades. You're not 83 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,239 Speaker 1: getting a lot of hoop law. You're preventing plays from happening, 84 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: you're preventing touchdowns, which he deserves a lot of the 85 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: credit for the success of the Jets defense. But yesterday 86 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: he was able to get keep points off the board 87 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: by defending it, getting an interception in the red zone. 88 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: And then that play at the end of the game, 89 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: the one handed pass breakup. He showed a lot of 90 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: composure on that play. He you know, he high pointed 91 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: the ball. It was patient, he didn't he didn't panic 92 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 1: at the end. A lot of safeties would would panic 93 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: in that situation, and Marcus May was all over the 94 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: field all game yesterday. You know what, I I don't 95 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: want to take anything away from it, because we're gonna 96 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: rightfully sold give Marcus May the praise here. But what 97 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: was the coverage in that situation, because typically you're not 98 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: gonna see in that situation where a receiver is running 99 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: free free safety last line of defense, where you don't 100 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: have somebody else with him. Yeah, you know, you know 101 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: what I want to say, It was his own coverage. 102 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: I'm I just remember him making the play on the 103 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: ball and just being in position, getting in phase, getting 104 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: his eyes back on the ball, and then shooting through 105 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: the receiver's hands and knocking that pass down. How about 106 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: the back pedal, you know, for those watching the New 107 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: York Just dot Com in the Jets app right now, 108 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: he's faced this way, then he turns this way going 109 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: back and then uses the left arm to make the 110 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: p D. Yeah. You know, as a defensive back, you know, 111 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: especially in the middle of the field, you always want 112 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: to be coming down on the football and sometimes you 113 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: get stuck in a position where you have to kind 114 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: of scramble and panic and go back. But Marcus kept 115 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: his composure. He did a great job of keeping his 116 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: eyes on the ball and fighting through and knocking that 117 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: down and it was a game saving pass break up. 118 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: Jamal and Up said after the game that Marcus May 119 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: is an underrated ball player and for a person who 120 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: played the position like yourself, do you think that was 121 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: one of the finer plays that Marcus May has had 122 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: so far in his National Football League career? Absolutely? I 123 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: mean you look at you know the circumstances. It was 124 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: down in the red zone, the games on the line 125 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: there up by six. Pittsburgh needs a touchdown and they 126 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: have a receiver open and Marcus to show that range, 127 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: you know, to to cover as much ground as he 128 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: did to come knock that ball down. That was a 129 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: fantastic play and it's something that he's been doing all year, 130 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: but it just hasn't been in that that situation. You know, 131 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: Marcus has done a great job of running the defense. 132 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 1: There's been no communications errors on the back end, and 133 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: you got to give that credit to market. How about 134 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: the interception in the first half that we talked about 135 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: a little bit. Listen, they're there inside the red zone. 136 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: They're at least gonna get a field goal, that's a 137 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: chip shot field goal, and Devil doc Hodges gets a 138 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: little Greedy's trying to pass to Jalen Samuel's is running 139 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: back there in the corner of the end zone. Look 140 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: to me, there's Marcus playing that post safety. He's reading 141 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: the quarterback and he makes like a receiver because he 142 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: high pointed the ball there and then got his feet down. Yeah, 143 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: he did a great job, you know. And when when 144 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: you're that close to the to the to the end 145 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: zone as a free safety, you don't have the backpedal, 146 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: you get enough depth and you just read the eyes 147 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: of the quarterback, and he was playing against a young 148 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: quarterback who was staring down his receiver didn't go through 149 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: his progression. And you know when you have an opportunistic 150 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: safety like Marcus May, he's gonna read those eyes. He's 151 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: gonna show his range and go make that play on 152 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: the sideline and it was great to see him get 153 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: those feet down. You get to get that toe swagwag. 154 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: I was in the film room with Bart Scott today, 155 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: former Jets linebacker, and he talked about the first takeaway. 156 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: The Jets had fire zone. They send five Jamal Adams 157 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: coming again and then we see Terrell bash Him take 158 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: a couple of steps forward, drops makes the athletic play 159 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: and the interception again taking advantage of a rookie quarterback. Yeah, 160 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: you know, it was a third down intent situation. They 161 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: called a three dep fire zone and Terrell Basham has 162 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: that three receiver hook And when I when I watched 163 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: that again, the whole defense knew that play was coming 164 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: because Marcus Mays in the center of the field. Of 165 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: course he's going to be helping Terrell Basham. He's covering 166 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: a wide receiver in that situation. But Marcus was in 167 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: the in the post. He was he had his hair 168 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: on fire coming down to try to make that play. 169 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: Basham was able to set it up by acting like 170 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: he was gonna rush and then dropping back. Duck Hodges 171 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: never saw him coming from the back side, and the 172 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: big feather went up and made a great catch. What 173 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: do you make of what the Jets did offensively? We 174 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: were wondering what kind of performance that we're gonna get 175 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: out of Levan, But I thought he set the tone 176 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: for the entire game on that first drive that culminated 177 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: on the touchdown pass from Sam Donald and Robby Anderson 178 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: twenty three yards, which was a tremendous catch from Robbie 179 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: and Sam put in a play where only Anderson could 180 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: go up and get the football. But a lot of 181 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: seven yard runs on that first drive from Levian Bell 182 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: and the Jets established themselves that the line of scrimmage. Yeah, 183 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: they did. You know, the Jets really did do a 184 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: great job of establishing that that tempo. You know, just 185 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: taking the fight to the Pittsburgh Steelers. They're known as 186 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: a bully defense. You know, they've been getting a lot 187 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: of takeaways. They're intimidating as a defense, but the offensive line, 188 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: Levian Bell, they came out and punched him in the mount. 189 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: You know, Levian getting seven yard carries, you know, continuing 190 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: that drive and then to go down and finish it 191 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 1: like they did with a great throw and catch by 192 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: Sam Donald and Robby Anderson. It was a great drive 193 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: and I wish they would have wished they could have 194 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: continued that momentum through You mentioned tempo. Did you like 195 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 1: the fourth and one where Adam Gaze had him get 196 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: up right up to the line. Levian BELLI gets seven yards, 197 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: but there were pair of penalties on the play from 198 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh that you ultimately decline. But with that being said, 199 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: the pace guy, Pittsburgh completely on their heels. Yeah, I 200 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 1: thought that was great. You know, Pittsburgh's the team that 201 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: doesn't send a lot of pressure, and it's hard to 202 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: to blitz and to not show your hand when there's 203 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: a no huddle situation. You know, you have to. You know, 204 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 1: if I'm a safety, I want to I want to 205 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: sit there and disguise my coverage. I want to you know, 206 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: beat ten yards back and you know, maybe I'll show 207 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: a blitz or something. But if you know there's a 208 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: no huddle situation. You have to get to your work 209 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: right now, and that really does a great job of 210 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: showing the quarterback what how this defense is attacking you 211 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: so they can play off. I thought one of the 212 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: key drives were one of the Jets had a thirteen 213 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: a ten lead there in the fourth quarter, and Donald 214 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: had some key completions. Bell again another critical third down conversion. 215 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: He told me after the game he wanted to get 216 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: the third and twelve. He only got like ten yards. 217 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: But that's set up a field goal in in that case, 218 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: in most games, you're thinking, listen, you gotta score a 219 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: touchdown here. I think Adam Gaze is playing his card 220 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: right there because he knows what he has defensively. We 221 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: get a six point lead here, They're not scoring a 222 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: touchdown on us. I'm betting on my defense. That's why 223 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: that was such a key field goal. Yeah, you know, 224 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: Adam Gates had had a lot of reason to have 225 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: confidence in his defense. You know, Pittsburgh had their third string, 226 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: second string quarterback who weren't having a lot of success. Uh, 227 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: This defense and you, led by Jamal Adams and company 228 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: have been doing a great job all game of setting 229 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: the tone that they eliminated the run game. They were 230 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: eliminating big plays after that first half play, and uh, 231 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: you know they gave him all the reason to be 232 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: confident in what they could do. All right, So we're 233 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: gonna come right back and bringing a Jets center Jonathan Harrison, 234 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: one of Sunday's heroes. And uh, we're also gonna dive 235 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: into the Jets final game of the season. Who would 236 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: have thought that the two thousand nineteen it's already coming 237 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: to an end, but we're gonna come right back.

What's spend the difference in the second half 253 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: of the season for this team? I think just um, 254 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 1: you know, everyone realizing that, you know, most of the 255 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 1: league was counting us out. So it was like it 256 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: was like a respect thing. It was like a you know, 257 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 1: we're not gonna quit. We're not just gonna you know, 258 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: fold over. We're gonna keep working, keep burning and uh, 259 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: you know, in the season with some wins and then 260 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: move into the off season on a positive note and 261 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: then build from there. Yeah, there was a lot of 262 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: There are a lot of questions that people ask me, 263 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: like ending the season on a on a good note, 264 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 1: winning a bunch of games, does that carry over to 265 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: the off season? How how do you feel like that 266 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: will help you guys moving into the off season, Because 267 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: that's a building chemistry, that's building team chemistry, and and 268 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: for the players who are fortunate enough to be on 269 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: the team again next year, you know, that's that's already 270 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: like a step that you've you've eliminated. You already have 271 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: the chemistry. You don't even worry about building that chemistry. 272 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: And um, of course, you know the you know, coaches 273 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: in front office bringing in new pieces to add to 274 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: to what we have going and then that's just how 275 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: a team builds over time.

You 303 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: know this guy, this guy's potential whatever it is. So 304 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: so you know, it's just one of those things. Um, 305 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: you know, guys, guys have really been busting their tail, 306 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: you know, getting after it and and not quitting.

It's easy just 309 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: to kind of give up and get lazy. But guys 310 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: have really been competing. I mean at practice we're still 311 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: full tilt. It was still full tilt, like we have 312 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: something to prove. So well, how would you describe this 313 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: year for you?

I really I really try not to 323 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: pay attention to any of that, but um, yeah, you know, 324 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: it's been a it's been an emotional roller coaster for sure. Um. 325 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: You know, like like you said, you know entered you know, 326 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: entered spring thinking, you know, hey, you know I have 327 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: a shot this. You know, this can be my job. 328 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: And you know Ryan coming in, you know, Brandon, Ryan 329 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: came in and he was he was super cool, super 330 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: respectful about everything. He's like, man, I know this is awkward, 331 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: but but hey, like let's let's make the best of it. 332 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: You know, maybe I can teach you a thing or 333 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: two or whatever. And we end up becoming really cool 334 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: with each other. So, um, you know, I just took 335 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: that as a as a learning, learning experience, and you know, 336 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: of course, you know, initially I was super frustrated, Like like, 337 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: initially when it happened, I was super frustrated. But then 338 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: I was like, I can't let that, I can't let 339 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: that affect you know, this journey I've been on in 340 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: my career, so you know, it has been the prettiest journey. 341 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: But but but I'm always here to work and given 342 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: my all, and um, I'm pretty sure the guys in 343 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: the locker room know that. So it's truly, is truly 344 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: just a blessing to have this much respect for the 345 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: way that you handled yourself in that situation, because it 346 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: sounds like it's an easy situation, but it's tough because 347 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: everyone you know you, you work hard, you have your pride, uh, 348 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: you know you you put in this work and then 349 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, but everything works out in the end. Well, 350 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: there's one word that works the best when describing Jonathan 351 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: Harrison as far as you're NFL career professional, consummate professional, 352 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: always been able to roll with it and come to 353 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: work with the right attitude. You know, no, thank you really. Um, yeah, 354 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: it's it's not always easy. It's not always easy to 355 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: have my good and bad days and everything like that. 356 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: But but yeah, you know, you know, many many people, 357 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: whether it's coaches, players, mentors, many people have told me, 358 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: you know, if you get you get overly frustrated with 359 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: the things you can't control, then you can drive yourself 360 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: insane and control what you can control. And there's times, 361 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: you know what, I may you know, deviate from that 362 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: just a little bit, but then I always try to 363 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: bring myself back to that and control what I can control. Yeah, well, 364 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: let's get back to Sunday. You know, great winning against 365 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: the Steelers. You guys really came out and took the 366 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: fight to that Steelers defense. Was it were you motivated 367 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: by Levan playing against this old team? Were you motivated 368 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: by feeling disrespected? What was the motivation going into that game? 369 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: You know everyone had their little, you know, different motivation. 370 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: You know, Um, that's Beaches first team, you know, Beach 371 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 1: them the first team as well, and Levyan with all 372 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: that of course, and everyone had their different motivations. But um, 373 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: you know, for me personally, for me personally, I was 374 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: just like this. You know, this is a team that 375 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: thinks that they're just gonna, you know, come out here 376 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: and get a win. You know, like like I don't 377 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: think many people outside of the building thought we were 378 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna win that game outside this organization, and 379 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: you know, it is what it is. So you know, 380 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: all we can do is go out there and fight 381 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: and and you know it, it was a it was 382 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: a dogfight of a game, dogfight of a game. But 383 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: those are the ones you remember, and those are those 384 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 1: are satisfying victories right there. Yeah, you mentioned the dogfight 385 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: of a game. Just two d fifty nine yards a 386 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: total offense, I believe for a fifteen on third down. 387 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: But you guys found a way you knew it was 388 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: that you knew it was gonna be that in the 389 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: game because the Pittsburgh Steelers bottom line, we got eight 390 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: victories this year and that defense you got a lead 391 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: players at all. Oh yeah, that defense was was stout. 392 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: That's a very good defensive go against. And uh we 393 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: knew that. We knew that entering the weekend. You know, 394 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: hats off to to all the guys that went out 395 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: there and battled. You know, there's a couple of drives 396 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: that I know we wish we could have finished, but 397 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, and win 398 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: is a win, and sometimes wins are gonna be you know, 399 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: dig scratch claw kind of win, you know, And we 400 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: really fought and it was it was a team effort. 401 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: All three phases performed there and great team win for sure. 402 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: Is there something about playing at home? You know, five 403 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: and three at home? You know, even though there was 404 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: a ton of Steelers fans at that stadium, what is 405 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 1: it about playing at MetLife Stadium that motivates you as 406 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: a team. Uh, you know, it's just it's your home. 407 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: It's your home crowd. You know. You see Jetman up 408 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: in the stands, you know, getting after it and see 409 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: all the green everywhere. And yes, there were a lot 410 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: of Steelers fans. Our fans are our die hard fans, 411 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: were they and they were showing all the love and support. 412 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 1: Um DJ was letting the tunes go this time around, 413 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: like you're just letting the music plays. All of us 414 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: were extra hyight before the game, and uh yeah, it's 415 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: just something about you know, having some of your friends 416 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: and family there, you knowing that they're they're changing on 417 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: and everything, and that's just what home field advantage is, 418 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: and that's what you know. I'm glad that we were 419 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: able to end, you know, on a on a winning note, 420 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: on a good note, because you want to be able 421 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 1: to protect your house. You want to have a winning regular. Listen, 422 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: you're talking about four in a row at home, five 423 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: and three overall, like you just mentioned, but five or 424 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: six overall because you lost your first two games. They're 425 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: when you endured so much adversity here earlier this season. 426 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: So what's going on out of the gate man? Because 427 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: I'm almost disappointed if you guys don't scoring that first drive. 428 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: You've had so much success on these first drives this year, 429 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: which is great moving forward when you look ahead and 430 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: beyond and hopefully that takes place in Buffalo, But what 431 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: does that say about the preparation? And then also, why 432 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: have you been able to find an early groove that 433 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: doesn't happen often in the National Football League? You know, 434 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: it's just guys buying into buying into the game plan. 435 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: You know, Um, you know, Gays is like, hey, I 436 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: just trust me, you know, just trust me this week 437 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 1: and you know I got you just you know he'll 438 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 1: break it. Down to us why he's doing this, and 439 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: and then it's our job to go out there and execute. 440 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 1: And then you know, when we go out there as 441 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: an offense and we fire on all cylinders, were able 442 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 1: to execute, We're able to score on that first drive, 443 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: and I know that as an offense we're trying to 444 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: make that are are like signature almost, you know, like 445 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: we're coming out, we're swinging that that long sustain first 446 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 1: drive and scoring at the end of it. And it 447 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: was disappointing when we don't get it, but you know, 448 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: all the guys are working their tails off to try 449 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: and make that. So what do you think about that 450 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 1: replay when you saw it on the board, because obviously 451 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: you're taking care of your blocking responsibilities. But there's Donald 452 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: thrown a rope to Robby Anderson, it goes up and 453 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: gets it, gets his feet down, and then afterwards celebrates 454 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: with a hug with fireman at boy has hands, many 455 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: has hands, and Sam has a hell of a arm. 456 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: And it's ridiculous. I had no clue what was going on, 457 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: like you said, I really didn't. I just heard the 458 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: crowd grow crazy, and I look like when you know 459 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: what's going down down there, so I started jogging down 460 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: see the replay, and then yeah, I just got so excited, 461 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: you know, Robbie with the inspector gadget arms and snagging 462 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: that ball, and you know, that was really exciting. Is 463 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: it always like that for you as offensive lineman? I mean, 464 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 1: you're handling your responsibility, a play breaks free and then 465 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: all of a sudden is a touchdown that most of 466 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: the time do you not know what happened. There's a 467 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: lot of times you have no idea what happened. You know, 468 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 1: if it's like a big run play, you'll hear the crowd, 469 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: but you're trying to finish your block or whatever it is. 470 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 1: Pass pro you're shielding your guy off and you just 471 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: go off the crowd. Like every once in a while 472 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: you catch a touchdown, like you actually see it every 473 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: once in a while, but a lot of times, you know, yeah, 474 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: I never thought about it from that perspective. Do you think, 475 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 1: first off, this is your six year in the league 476 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: by so fast? Yeah, don't remind me. That's great getting 477 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: paychecked for six years now but undrafted on the University 478 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: of Florida. Three years with the Colts, now three years 479 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: with the Jets. Already why are we seeing the best 480 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: Jonathan Harrison right now? Because if you watch your play, Um, 481 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: I know people are talking about and Joe Douglas is 482 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: definitely gonna dress off. It's a line in the off season. 483 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: You know that. With that being said, you are putting 484 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: your best foot forward right now at that center position. 485 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: That's all I can do. That's all I can do. 486 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 1: You know, I was giving an opportunity and and you know, 487 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: I just have to make the best of it. And 488 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: you know, I just always told myself, I'm like, you know, 489 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: next time I get that opportunity, like really try and 490 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: take advantage of it. And there's been times in my 491 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: career where you know, I didn't take full advantage of it, 492 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: and of course I regret that. But what you know, 493 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: I can't I can't focus on that. Can only just 494 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: focus on the next you know, the next day. So, um, 495 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a health of an opportunity and 496 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna give them all each time, and you know, 497 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: hopefully it pays off in the long run. But how 498 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: different are you in terms of even maybe stepping into 499 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: the door at one jets Drive a couple of years 500 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: ago in terms of what you brought to the game 501 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: as far as being a technician and also that athleticism 502 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: and the nastiness and you put it all together. You know, 503 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: that's just that's just you know, Um, the best way 504 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: to explained, that's just that you know the style of play. 505 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: You know that that that I that I offer and 506 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: you know, um, if you need something more athletic, I 507 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: got that. Um. You know, I may seem a little 508 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: bit smaller than typical linement, by makeup for it in 509 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: strength and and you know I'm scrappy. You know I'm 510 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: willing to get after a little bit like that. Um. 511 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: You know, never perfect, nobody's ever perfect. I'm not perfect. 512 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: But but I work, you know, work, and I love 513 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: to compete. That's one thing I love to compete. And 514 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: that's one thing about that room. All the guys in 515 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: there love to compete and and has brought us that 516 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: much closer. So do you like it that your general 517 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: manager is a former offensive lineman, Joe Douglas? And when 518 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: you have conversations with them, what what it's been? What 519 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: has it been like? Because the other thing that I 520 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: appreciate about Joe is he said he talked to you 521 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: when they were gonna sign Khalil, so he didn't have 522 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: to do that, but that speaks to who he is. 523 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: But also he's a always raved about you as well. 524 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: So what's it like having a GM with a former 525 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: offensive lineman who knows the position because again, not a 526 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: lot of gms and that in the NFL, we're offensive line. No, No, 527 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: it's great because you know you just naturally have that 528 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: that kind of connection with him being a former offensive 529 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 1: linement because they always say in the locker room offensive 530 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: line or a different breed, completely different breed, and we're 531 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: like a pack. You know, we always rolled together. But 532 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: you know it's great. You know it's great because communication wise, 533 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,959 Speaker 1: he understands it's easier to communicate with him, and uh, 534 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: and he can see what like you know, a statue sheet, 535 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: you know can't see. You know, he's able to look 536 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: at this play and be like, all right, well you know, X, 537 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: Y and Z aren't matching up. You know, Okay, his 538 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: hands might not be you forty or whatever it is, 539 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 1: but you got another segment.

I mean, I commend you on what you've done. 657 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: And I especially especially think it's cool that you know, 658 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: as an NFL player, you go back because kids, you know, 659 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: the teachers, the parents that can tell them whatever they want. 660 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: When the NFL player walks in, I'm sure you have 661 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: everyone's attention when you walk. What do you think about 662 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: social media? Social media, that's that's one of the that's 663 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: the biggest outlet to bullying right now. It's every bullying. 664 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: And I can't imagine going to school with social media. Obviously, 665 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: I got a couple of years after say I'm gonna say, like, 666 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: I know, I'm younger than YouTube, but I didn't even 667 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: have social media growing up. That's the thing, Like, I 668 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: I don't get like my Space until those I think 669 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: like the in the high school is when my Space 670 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: started become the thing. So growing up elementary, middle school, 671 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: like all these kids have Instagrams, now, all of them 672 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: have Twitters. Now they can see whatever they need to 673 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: on social media. Like there's no restricting what they can 674 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,959 Speaker 1: explore and see on social media. So there's so much 675 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: more access and then there's so much more opportunity for 676 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: people to to reach out and say what they want 677 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: or comment how they want from you know, from the 678 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: safety of their home. You know, they're they're they're behind 679 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: the keyboard, they're on their phone, laying in bed, like 680 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: making someone feel terrible about themselves. And that's that's miserable 681 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: that people have to endure that nowadays, it truly is, Yeah, 682 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: we get into this world to suck. I don't I 683 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: don't know how to best explain it, but people get 684 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: so negative sometimes and you gotta do your best to 685 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: avoid that because the bottom line is and that can happen, 686 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: can infiltrate kids, schools and things like that. And we 687 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: see that social media where I say it is allowed 688 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: minority because sometimes you question what's happening with the world 689 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: right now, and then you have to you you got 690 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: to take into account. Okay, not everybody is like this. 691 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: This is this is allowed minority and we need more 692 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: positive people. Yes you have. You guys, come up with 693 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: any kind of solution for uh dealing with social media 694 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: as a young kid.

That takes a little time to adjust. And 728 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: then once he figured that out, then he started taking 729 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: your next steps and you know, becoming you know, you know, 730 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 1: a better quarterback, to to becoming more and more productive 731 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: you know, in the backfield.

We will be right back 810 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: here next Monday night, So folks say listen, Howiday season 811 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,360 Speaker 1: pulenty seats available. I think we're gonna have a couple 812 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 1: guests that you might want to check out next week. 813 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: Uh E great to hear from Jonathan Harrison. Here's a 814 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:13,240 Speaker 1: guy kept his hat up. Joe Douglas signed Ryan Khalil 815 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 1: in August August first, I believe, and Harrison could have 816 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 1: put his head down, said that was my chance, man. 817 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 1: I could have been the starter, uh to open the season. 818 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: But he kept that head up, kept grinding. Khalil went 819 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: out unfortunately, and Harrison has picked up. And I think 820 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: he's done a fine job at the center position. I 821 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: know everybody talking about Joe Douglas, he's got to improve 822 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,240 Speaker 1: the offensive line position. He's going to improve the offensive 823 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 1: line position, that's not even a question. But I think 824 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,560 Speaker 1: Harrison has really taken advantage of his opportunity. Yeah, I 825 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,919 Speaker 1: mean you talked about earlier and you said one word 826 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,720 Speaker 1: and professional. You know, he really has handled his business. 827 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 1: He came into this this this season as a starter, 828 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 1: and then they signed Ryan Khalil. He's a backup now. 829 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 1: But then obviously he got that opportunity and he was 830 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 1: ready for it. You know, he stayed ready so he 831 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: didn't have to get ready. And he's done a great 832 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 1: job of leading an offensive line that they've had a 833 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 1: terrific run at the end of the season, and I 834 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 1: think he's really making a statement and letting these coaches 835 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,320 Speaker 1: know that I am your center for the future and 836 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 1: not the biggest guy. And he's talked about it before, 837 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 1: but he'll get nasty. He's also athletic. And the other 838 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: thing is he's got a very good relationship with the quarterback, 839 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,960 Speaker 1: Sam Donald. A lot of respect on both ends there. Yeah, 840 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: and it's very important for them to have that relationship, 841 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 1: that trust, that chemistry between the center and the and 842 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 1: the quarterback. They touched the ball every single play and 843 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,319 Speaker 1: they need to be on the same page. So it's 844 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 1: important that they grow together. And I think that he's 845 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 1: a guy that that can be around here for a 846 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 1: very long time. Okay, So Jamal Adams got uh nominated 847 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,959 Speaker 1: or sent to is uh second Pro Bowl last week. 848 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: We found that out of course, and he came back 849 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 1: into the lineup after two games off, played very well 850 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 1: at the tackles couple stops behind the line. After the 851 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 1: Jets took down the Pittsburgh Steelers, he said, we're not 852 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: that far away. Sam Donald said, I think we're not 853 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 1: too far away. Leavan Bell added, it's going to take 854 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,720 Speaker 1: time to get the ships selling in the right direction. 855 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 1: Now we're starting to see the ship turn a little 856 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 1: bit your thoughts. I agree with them. You know that 857 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 1: they're not far away. They're they're getting things pointed in 858 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,439 Speaker 1: the right direction. And yes, it did take a little 859 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,880 Speaker 1: longer than we wanted to, but if you look at it, 860 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 1: you know, the Jets are in a position to win 861 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 1: seven games at the end of this season. At the 862 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 1: beginning of the year, we talked about this, how many 863 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 1: games do you expected Jets to win? It was six, 864 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,720 Speaker 1: seven games and if they can steal one and probably 865 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 1: eight and that's just being realistic, is not being said. 866 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,239 Speaker 1: I sat in between seven and ten. I thought, okay, yeah, well, 867 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,240 Speaker 1: I mean I expected, you know, seven wins, seven eight wins. 868 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,360 Speaker 1: You know, that's what I expected from this team. But 869 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: with it being a new coaching staff, young quarterback, young team. 870 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: But with all the injuries being you know that that 871 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 1: occurred to this team, it's amazing that they fought through 872 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: and played so well at the end of the season. 873 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,760 Speaker 1: And they really do have a lot to learn, achieve 874 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,320 Speaker 1: me a lot to build off of going into the 875 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:11,239 Speaker 1: off season. How much, if any carry over is there, 876 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 1: You're gonna finish strong to this year no matter what 877 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 1: happens in Buffalo. Let's say, even if you lose the game, 878 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,600 Speaker 1: you're five and three in the season second half. Henry 879 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 1: Anderson said it today that listen, I think I don't 880 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 1: know how much you can carry over, but you want 881 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 1: to have momentum, positive feeling of positivity headed into the 882 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: off season. Yeah. I mean it's different when you're just 883 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 1: a losing team and you go into the off season 884 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 1: and you know, you come back from offseason workouts and 885 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 1: you're like, man, what is it gonna be? Like? Are 886 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,320 Speaker 1: they gonna crush us? But it's different when you're winning. 887 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 1: You know, when you're in the season on a high note. 888 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 1: You know, six seven wins, that's nothing that that's not 889 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,239 Speaker 1: anything to push over. And the NFL, everyone's confident. They 890 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,399 Speaker 1: come into the season under coming too the off season 891 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,839 Speaker 1: understanding that we're gonna put in some work. We were 892 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 1: a couple of plays away from being a successful playoff 893 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 1: team and then that's all gonna take. And we're gonna 894 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 1: discuss this next week here on inside the Jets. But 895 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,440 Speaker 1: I know fans are gonna be looking at it. I 896 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:14,399 Speaker 1: just wrote this down as you're talking. Cincinnati Miami Jacksonville 897 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 1: sixteen point lead over the Buffalo Bills Week one, So 898 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:19,960 Speaker 1: you're probably gonna be at that end of the season. 899 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,759 Speaker 1: If you're a fan, you're looking back at those games 900 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,440 Speaker 1: and say, man, if we had to do over because 901 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,880 Speaker 1: because the Jets are a better team than Cincinnati Bengals, 902 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 1: and they are a better team than Miami Dolphins, they 903 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,879 Speaker 1: are a better team than the Jacksonville Jaguars at this point. 904 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 1: It just they had to go through a lot of 905 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 1: bumps early this season. Yeah, I mean, that's part of maturing. 906 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,799 Speaker 1: That's a part that's part of maturing as a as 907 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,880 Speaker 1: a program. You know, they're gonna be games that you 908 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 1: should win, that you that you leave out there. But 909 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 1: when you're a successful team, when you understand that, when 910 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,360 Speaker 1: you have a veteran presence, you win those games. And 911 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:52,960 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, you have ten wins at 912 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 1: the end of the year. And I think that's the 913 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,320 Speaker 1: step that they're gonna take next year. They got a 914 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 1: lot of young guys who gained a ton of experience 915 00:43:58,800 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 1: out there on the field, and you have a lot 916 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 1: to depth. Uh, you know, some some players who they 917 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,840 Speaker 1: didn't really expect to blossom really got the opportunity this 918 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,800 Speaker 1: year and did And we're gonna make a big impact 919 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 1: next year when all these guys are helping. Yeah, I 920 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: can't wait to watch Joe Douglas attacked offseason because I 921 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 1: don't expect him necessarily to go out there and sign 922 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 1: the number one free agent on the market. I think 923 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:30,719 Speaker 1: that he is going to attack this with a calculated approach. 924 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 1: He's got hot spend some money. But they're gonna try 925 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,920 Speaker 1: to build this thing through the draft and you have 926 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,560 Speaker 1: to plug multiple holes where maybe in the past the 927 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 1: Jets were going at the top of the top and 928 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 1: maybe that there's different philosophies as far as building a roster. So, uh, 929 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 1: we can get into all that next week. But about 930 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 1: forty seconds left, Jets Bills, what do you expect from 931 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 1: Buffalo and how does that into um, how does that 932 00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,759 Speaker 1: impact your operation here for the Jets? Well, I mean, 933 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 1: I think if you're the Jets, you're you're always just 934 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,600 Speaker 1: concerned about yourself. You're worried about your game plan, the 935 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 1: way that you come out here and set the tone, 936 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 1: and I don't think that they will play a lot 937 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,160 Speaker 1: of their starters. I think the Jets have a great 938 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,640 Speaker 1: opportunity to in the season on a positive note and 939 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 1: to beat a division opponent. Well, said thanks so much 940 00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,120 Speaker 1: to Justin for helping us out. Kayrie back in the studio. 941 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:26,360 Speaker 1: H Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays.
