No, here's Eric Allen and Eric Coleman. 0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:25.000 Welcome to Inside the Jets. We are broadcasting live from 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:28.880 Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel. 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:33.440 Eric Allen alongside Eric Coleman. We will be joined later 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.960 on in the show by Jets offensive lineman Jonathan Harrison. 0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:42.280 E the Jets after by they come out, they play 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.599 off against the New England Patriots for a couple of quarters, 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:48.519 but when the place had to be made in the 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:52.920 second half, the Patriots took care of business and they 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:56.560 take home a twenty seven to thirteen victory. It is 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.960 the jets fifth consecutive loss. Yeah, that that hurts say 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.160 in that, you know, five straight losses. Uh, you know, 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:03.840 I thought the Jets played well in the first half. 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.360 You know, they had a great game plan, they were competitive, 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.920 they were taking it to the Patriots. Um, you know, 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.120 and that's a great team they played just played against 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.880 you know, they played against the probably the greatest quarterback 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.119 of all time, and and he made some plays down 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:19.120 down the stretch of the game that made the Jets pay, 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.440 you know, but ultimately it was a tough fought game. 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:23.600 I thought that, you know, the Jets played well. They 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.720 executed well, especially in the first half. You know, they 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:31.080 were handed going back and forth, and they responding, and 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.160 they struck early in that game, and that's what you 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.600 wanted to see. They had so many first quarters struggles. 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.279 They hadn't scored a first quarter point since Week seven 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:44.200 against the Minnesota Vikings. And Josh McCown led him into 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.480 the end zone early. They took that seven nothing lead 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:51.160 on a sixteen yard scoring pass to Jermain Chris. Yeah, 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:52.840 it was great to see Jermaine Curse getting too the 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.880 end zone. You know, that was Josh McCown's favorite target 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.040 last year and to see them connect again, you know 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:01.040 it really Uh, you know got weyone excited. You know 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.120 that that it's a lot of hard work that goes 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.600 into those plays. The offensive line did a great job 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.760 of protecting Josh McCown during the game, and uh, and 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.440 he was able to find those open receivers inside the 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:15.880 Jets is supported by selective insurance. Response is everything. I'm 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.880 looking at my play by play right now. The Jets 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:22.920 tie the game on a thirty eight yard Jason Meyers 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:25.160 field goal on the third quarter to make it thirteen 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.519 and thirteen. Here's the response from the Patriots, four place 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:33.120 seventy five yards, culminating on a touchdown from Tom Brady 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:38.160 to Julian Edelman. That's what championship teams do when they 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:42.160 are pushed, they come right back and they took control. Yeah, 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.679 you know, they did a great job of counterpunching. Uh, 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.239 you know, everyone knows. You know, when you play the Patriots, 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.560 the game plan is gonna change a week to week. 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.320 They're gonna have some different wrinkles in their in their offense, 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.320 and they're gonna move the ball. You just have to 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.520 try to limit them to field goals, try to keep 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.160 them out of the end zone. They are gonna get 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.240 chunk plays. They are gonna move the ball on you. 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.919 You listen, Tom Brady isn't Tom Brady for no reason. 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:04.639 You know, he does a great job of finding the 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.280 open receivers, and it doesn't seem to matter who is 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.400 playing receiver. He's gonna find the open man. Okay, bottom 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:14.239 line though, what is happening with the Jets rushed defense. 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:18.040 That is the second consecutive opponent who has come into 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.520 MA Life Stadium, because we saw this from the Buffalo 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:24.520 Bills in Week ten and the Patriots did just the 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.440 same thing where they amass more the two yards on 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.600 the ground. Yeah, you know, and that that's the pride 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:31.920 of your defense. Every week. You go in wanting to 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:33.840 stop the run, you know, because if you if you 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:35.880 allow a team to run on you, then you open 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.760 up the floodgates for everything, the play action passes, the 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.840 deep shots. Uh, and you really leave yourself vulnerable as 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.880 a defense, you know. Todd both said it after the game. Listen, 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:46.760 there were some guys trying to make too many plays. 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.680 They got a little undisciplined with their gap integrity, and 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.880 that leads to big plays, you know, I know several plays. 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.800 The first run by Sony Michelle, the thirty one yard run. 0:03:56.080 --> 0:04:00.800 You know, Nathan she the defensive end, Yes, Nathan Shepard, 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.280 he was he was he was kind of turkey neck 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.120 and he was supposed to be inside in his gap. 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.640 Jamal Adams kind of went inside to cover for him, 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:09.640 and then both of them got washed. It was a 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.440 huge cutback lane for Sony Michelle to run through, and 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:14.720 that can't happen. You know, you everyone has to do 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:16.040 their job. You have to be able to trust the 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.000 man next to you that he's gonna be in his 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:21.039 gap and that everything you know can be limited that way. 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.960 Why are those communication issues happening at this point in 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.120 the season. Every Williamson talked to the media about that 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:32.200 today said, sometimes maybe I got us in the wrong call, 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.960 or maybe sometimes guys didn't hear me. But to your point, 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.680 I think of what a lot is happening. A lot 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:44.200 what's transpiring out there on the football field is guys 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.880 are so eager to make a play that they're not 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:52.320 following their own individual role in responsibility. Yeah, you know, 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.159 when talking in regards to the communication, you know that 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.400 that was my job and in the secondaries to communicate 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.480 to everybody. And when you're playing at home, it can 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.880 get tough. You know, that crowd is so loud that 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:03.479 I could be standing next to you right now and 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.280 you can't hear what I'm saying. So you have to 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.760 come up with hands signals. You have to be demonstrative 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.600 and signaling you know, the different changes in the coverages 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.880 and and what you're playing. And one thing about you know, Avery, 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.280 I'm saying he's making the wrong call. If you make 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.560 the wrong call and everyone's on the same page, you 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.880 can be all wrong, but you'll be all right. You know, 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.440 everyone's on the same page. You can get through the down. 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.560 But the problem comes when one guy's playing one coverage 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.760 the other guys playing a different coverage. That's when you 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.680 start to see the blown coverages, the big plays, and 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.360 that just can't happen. Are you surprised by it? Right now? 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:38.720 This defense, who was relatively sound against the run early 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.320 on in the season is springing so many leaks because 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.600 Tom Brady is gonna get his yards in the air 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.480 against whoever he plays. Eric. Yeah, you know, you know what, 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.440 it's difficult, you know, especially against the team like the Patriots. 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.640 You know, they have so many weapons throwing the football 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.080 that you know, you may look at the last four 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.400 games they played and maybe they threw the ball ton 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.320 you know today are this last game on Sunday? You know, 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.480 especially in the second half, it seemed like they came 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.200 out determined to run the football. It happened to us 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.480 back in. I want to say it was two thousand seven. Uh. 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:10.920 The Patriots played the Minnesota Vikings a week before us. 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.800 Tom Brady back then through fifties fifty two passes. They 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.320 were in spread formation every play and that was unheard 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.800 of back then, fifty two passes. We prepared, We had 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:23.120 dime packages, we brought up extra dB s, we activated guys, 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.160 we had all kinds of packages ready. When we played 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:28.039 them on Monday night. They ran it down our throat 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.280 with three tight ends, two running backs for the first 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.400 two series. And it's just they They're just one of 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.280 those offenses that changes every single week, so it makes 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.960 it tough. Offensively, the Jets got it moving in terms 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.799 of yards, had about just under three hundred forty yards 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:46.559 of total offense. Uh, Josh McCown through that scoring pass. 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.280 Jermaine Curse, I thought they were a little bit better 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:53.280 on third down. He also completed balls to eight different targets. 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.120 But the points aren't there. Yeah, you know, executing in 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.200 the red zone, you know, getting those points on the board, 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.440 getting touchdowns, you know, when you play again. He's high 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.680 powered offenses, and especially nowadays in the NFL, you need 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:05.919 touchdowns when you get into the red zone. You you 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:07.920 can't settle for too many field goals. You know, you 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.960 look around the league and teams are putting up for points. 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.440 You gotta find a way to get in there. Somebody 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.320 has to make a play and break through for for 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:19.600 a touchdown. All right, So a few lineup changes Sunday, 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:25.280 Um and our next guest Jonathan Harrison, Actually he came 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:28.080 in and started at center and Spencer Long took the 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.280 place a big carp James Carpenter out of the lineup 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.480 with the shoulder injury. What did you think about how 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:38.400 the line played overall up front? Because I know the 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:42.240 media was focusing a lot today on the past to 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.920 run ratio. I think Josh McCown had forty five pass 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:49.440 at tempts, not many rush attempts for the Jets on Sunday. Yeah, 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:50.960 you know, I thought the offensive line did a great 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:55.120 job of protecting McCown when they did run the ball. Listen, 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.000 you know, I saw a couple of plays where where 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.800 Spencer Long was playing guard, he pulled, he laid out 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:01.600 a couple of the guys, you know, and it was 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:03.920 it was great to see that chemistry. Uh, you know, 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:07.040 them stay bonded as offensive line. Although there's a couple 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:08.800 of shuffles in the end the lineup, you know, you 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.320 move a different position. They have that chemistry, they have 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.640 that trust for one another. And it was seen yesterday 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.840 or excuse me, yeah, yesterday in the game that they 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.800 had that chemistry. The player that one of the young 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.960 players that I'm most encouraged about is Chris Herndon. He 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:25.520 leads all rookie tight ends in the National Football League 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.880 in terms of receptions and he is second in yards. 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.880 Against the Patriots, he had seven receptions. He is going 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.559 to be a core piece for this team in two 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.760 thousand nine team and beyond absolutely, you know, and Chris 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.360 has done a great job of of working on his weaknesses. 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:43.920 You know, he's a speedy tight end. He can he 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.000 can win on those one on one matchups, and he's 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.439 found a great rapport with the quarterbacks. And that's so 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:50.880 important to have a tight end who can who can 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:53.679 be be your security blanket, who can stretch the field 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.920 down the middle. It makes it tough on the safety, 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.800 you know, because you're playing safety, you're playing covered too. 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.560 You may be going and looking at that number one receiver, 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:03.839 but you're thinking about that tight end running up the 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:05.880 seam and a guy like Chris Herndon can help you 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.080 stretch the field and open things up for a quarterback. 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.760 All right, and about the forty five seconds we have 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:14.520 before we get to a commercial break, what do you 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:18.120 think about if you're a fan right now, are you 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.840 chomping at the bit for the next time Sam Donald 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.840 returns to action. Now it's two consecutive games that he's 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:26.800 missed with the strain foot. Josh McCown did some nice 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.839 things out there, but the future of this team, this 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.960 franchise is number four team. Yeah, you know you want 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.720 to see your star player go out there and work 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.440 and mature and get better week to week. You know, 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.760 he's a rookie. He needs as many reps as possible. 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:42.439 But at the same time, you can't risk a long 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.240 term injury and just rushing back on the field. But 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:47.040 that's who the fans come to see. They come to 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.720 see Sam Donald. They come to see his improvement week 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:51.560 to week and see if you can continue to get better. 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.160 We will have to monitor his progress throughout the week 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:57.240 Top Bowl, so it's too early. We'll see where he's 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.520 at later on in the week, but we'll come right 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.600 back here on Inside the Jets with Jets offensive lineman 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:09.320 Jonathan Harrison. Bunch set right, pre receiver, shotgun from account, 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.480 quick snap, takes the snap, drops back under pressure, crows 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.640 up in the middle. He's got curs at the pot. 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.880 He touchs left, preaches the ball out at the call on. 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:23.120 That's a Jet touchdown. Jemmy Curse dragging across the middle 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.800 on third down and McCown finds him. Welcome back to 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.640 Inside the Jets Are Player guest segment is presented by 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.640 M and T Bank, the official community bank of your 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.360 New York Jets. Eric Gallen here alongside Eric Coleman, and 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:40.080 now we welcome in Jets offensive lineman Jonathan Harrison. Thanks 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.680 so much for joining the program. Thanks for having me 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:48.199 than Jonathan, So when did you know early? At what 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.000 point in the week did you know, Hey, big carp 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.720 is gonna be out, Because typically Carpenter is a fixture 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.800 in that lineup. He hadn't missed the game throughout his 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.320 Jets tenure. It was like fifty eight ecutive starts. So 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:03.880 then you had to do some shuffling and that Matt 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:08.080 Spencer Long moves over to lifeguard and you're inserted at 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:12.120 the center position. UM. Yeah, so just during the weeks sometime, 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:14.960 you know, coaches mentioned that you know that might that 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.040 might be a possibility for the week. So you know, 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.480 they just uh told me to prepare as if you know, 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.000 I'm gonna start the game. And you know, that's what 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:23.720 That's why I tried to do the best job I could. 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.960 And you know, I feel like we had a great 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:28.760 chemistry out there on the line on Sunday. And you know, 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.160 despite the results of the game, you know, I think 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:33.720 there was a growth in certain areas. Now, now can 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:36.480 you talk about you know, everyone talks about the center position. Now, 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:39.240 there's a lot of communication. You're like the head of 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.520 the offensive line. What goes on before a snap at 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.240 the center position? What do you have to identify? What 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.440 communication do you have to make? Um? So, yeah, so 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.160 we we look at the defensive front. You know, we 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:51.160 tell whether you know, three down, four down defense, Uh, 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.680 identify the middle linebacker who are gonna be working too, 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.239 and then we make the calls across the line, you know, accordingly, 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:58.560 and um the calls get sent all the way out 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:00.439 to the tight end, sometimes the back of the running 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:04.480 backs depending on the play. How easy does Josh McCown, 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.200 make it for you. Here's a guy who is in 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:11.319 his sixteenth NFL season now, he's thirty nine years old. 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:16.080 I probably I'm thinking that he hasn't seen too many defenses. 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.520 They're gonna throw him off. Yeah, yeah, he has. You 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:20.120 can tell he has a lot of experience, a lot 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:24.080 of confidence, very comfortable um in the huddle and just 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.560 his comfort. Not saying, you know, Sam, they have any comfort. 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.720 Anything sounds very comfortable, but his comfort just you know 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:33.240 what's just always a reassuring team, you know that for 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.960 a huddle and just going out there. The swagger he 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.599 plays with the competitor and it's really great to work with. 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:40.840 What did you think about that ten yard run in 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.440 the third quarter? Was the third and ten you guys 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.400 are trailing I believe thirteen to tenant at the time, 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.439 and McCown put his body on the line. He didn't 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.360 have to do that. A lot of quarterbacks might get 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.280 down and say, okay, I'll take the eight yards, put 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.720 Jason Meyers on the field, will take the three. But 0:12:56.840 --> 0:13:01.240 he extended and he really took. He did, he did, 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.440 and we're like, man, there he goes, Josh again, there 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.719 he goes he's such a competitor he doesn't even think 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.160 to slide. Like once he's out there running in the field, 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.240 he's no longer a quarterback, like he's a ball carrier 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.080 at that point. So, so is it different, uh, you know, 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.640 protecting different types of quarterbacks? I know you you blocked 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.600 for Andrew Luck in the past. Um, Josh mccalm more 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.160 of a pocket passer, but he can't show his athleticism. 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.880 Is it difficult playing, you know, blocking four different types 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:27.280 of quarterbacks? Um, not too difficult, Not too difficult, as 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.560 long as, like the chemistry is there. No, as long 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.400 as a chemistry you know, you know what, um, they're 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:33.440 gonna do. And as long as you're doing your job, 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:34.959 you don't have to worry about what's going on back 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:36.640 there at the end of the day. And then speaking 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.800 of that chemistry, spenter Long was next to you during 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.760 this game? What was that like? Where you guys communicating 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.520 you know, more than often more than the regular with 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:47.640 both of you play in the same position. Um, yeah, 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.280 you know, just basically having two centers out there on 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.200 the offensive line, you know, so you know, we we 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:57.559 we understand everything that's going on, makes communication very very easy. Um, 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.080 were sitting next to each other in the meeting room, 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.160 so we're always chatting, going back and forth about what 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:04.040 we're watching on film, So communicating with him was was 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.680 quite simple. You know that we really just give a beat. 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:12.040 Jets Reward members, don't forget to enter the code post 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:16.080 in your Jets Rewards portal during the show to earn 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:19.960 a hundred points.

Eric 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:26.000 Allen and Eric Coleman, joined now by Jonathan Harrison. What 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.320 can you say about the athleticism of Day four or 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.920 a four? Mentioned Spencer Long because he was talking about 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.160 in the opening segment, Jonathan, he really got out on 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.440 one pole, yes, to destroy somebody. Man. He was he 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.560 was licking his chops for that place. He was waiting 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.440 on that play to get called. And I missed, you know, 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:45.240 I missed what actually happened. I looked up on the 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.800 Jumbo try I'm like, dang, Spen, like, yeah, he really 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.080 laid into that dude. But that's what gets an offense going, 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.000 that's what brings the energy into the hotel. As a 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:56.720 defensive back, that hurt my feelings to see the big 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.240 center running around. I think it was mccordy who he hit. 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.520 And I don't know if he looked like he was 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:05.000 a blind deer in the headlights. He just got rolled over. 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.880 That was That's awesome. That has to motivate your Definitely, Definitely, 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:10.280 any time the defensive bat gets near the line of scrimmage, 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.240 we're trying to take them out, like, don't don't come 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.200 in here, to stay out there, don't don't come in here? 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.720 What about the challenge for an offensive line meant an 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.600 offensive lineman and an offensive line is a unit when 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.600 you guys are retreating. Because when I say retreating, you're 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.280 in past par a lot. Yesterday, I think there was 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:31.960 maybe fifty call pass plays and just fifteen maybe runs. Yeah, 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:33.520 you know, we we did pass the ball a lot 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.680 and um, you know times that can't be difficult, you know, 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:37.720 passing the ball. But at the end of the day, 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.440 that's our job. You know, that's what we trained to do, 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:41.680 that's what we're supposed to do. And you know, hats 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.400 off to all offensive lineman for being phenomenal athletes. You know, 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.360 the ability to back up and stop a three hundred 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.560 pound man for running straight through you know, it's impressive. 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.000 It is so so when you get to the sideline, 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:54.440 I e like, coach, come on now, I want to 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.640 tee off on this guy. I need to. I need 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:58.800 to get some get back these bull rush is that 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.160 I'm getting? You know, we definitely only we definitely requested 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.000 and um, you know, but we have to trust whatever 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:04.720 the coach is calling in and and we're willing to 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:06.560 do whatever he has. Well, of course it's always fun 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.080 teeing off on someone in the run game. Okay, we 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.720 have to solve a riddle over at one Jets Drive. 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:16.640 Henry Anderson used to be a teammate of yours in Indianapolis. 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:20.680 Jonathan started his career with the Colts. The nickname of 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:25.680 Goose came over from Indianapolis to the Jets. But nobody 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:29.960 knows why Henry Anderson has that nickname? Can you tell 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:34.560 us or no? You know, Oh man, I don't know 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:36.240 if I could do that to Henry, I don't know. 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.520 You're gonna have to ask Henry on that one. Okay, 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.960 you know it's it's it's not it's really not that bad. 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:42.720 But you're gonna have to ask Henry on that one. 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:46.240 So that secret is going to stay in Indiana. I guess, 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:53.320 I guess. So the teammates. Um, what's the system change 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.120 been like for you this year? As far as Rick 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.640 Dennison up front being in a run game coordinator and 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.520 also or your offensive line coach, can you talk about 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.760 the zone blocking system? Um, you know, I love the 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:07.439 zone you know I love the zone scheme, and he 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:09.920 does a great job of coaching the zone scheme, making 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.080 sure everyone understands, you know, the signment, so not only 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.639 just us, you know the tight ends, you know the 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.520 path of the back where this play is supposed to hit, 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:22.800 and and him, um, you know him really emphasizing, you know, 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.560 the learning of the run game in the zone game. 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:27.800 I think it's just helped build us as an offensive line, 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:29.760 just make you know, being able to plug and play 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:32.920 different players that much easier but transitions, and you are 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.840 an athletic center. So did did you think that plays 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:39.240 into your talents? Very well? Yes, yes it does. You 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:42.400 know I do enjoy especially on loutside zones and using 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:44.880 speed instead of just power all the time. So yeah, 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:46.520 like mixing it up. So, so what are some of 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.639 the differences between man and zone blocking? Is it in 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:51.760 zone you're just getting a hat for a hat and 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.880 you just get the running back just runs to your butt. 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:59.119 Is that kind of what the scheme is? Um, yeah, 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.480 yes and no. Yes, And though you know, I want 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:03.480 to create some double teams one possible, want to create 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:05.679 some double teams. But you know, the idea is to 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:09.159 get the defensive flowing to open up, you know, cutback 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:11.719 lanes or whatever lanes for the running back and you 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:16.240 know whichever, you know M directions or you know, backside 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.480 blocking by the tight ends, whatever it is. We're just 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.760 trying to cut the defense and give the running back 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.600 lane to get there. If you're wondering why Jonathan Harrison 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.439 is so well spoken, Well, he's a University of Florida 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.719 law I'm just like myself, so go Gators. I'm so 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:33.840 happy that he's up here tonight. Jonathan, Uh, you're a 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:37.080 fascinating guy. You're very involved in the community with the 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:40.359 Jets and ANTII bowling efforts. You're all over the place. 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:42.680 You go to school's left and right. But first off, 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:47.240 I want to ask you about your aspirations to be 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:51.920 a homicide detective. What is that all about? Just something 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:55.800 I kind of stumbled across. Um, yeah, you stumbled across it. Yeah, 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:57.440 I kind of stumbled across. And you know, I started 0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:59.399 out a psych major in college, and um, I was 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.080 having troupe using an online course, so I switched on 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:05.440 my major and uh, and my academic advisor told me, 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:07.880 he's like, hey, you know, criminology and anthropology. You can 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.320 you can get both of these majors with what you've 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:12.840 already started with with psych. So I'm like, all right, 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:14.240 let me go that route. You know, after a couple 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:17.879 of homicide classes, a couple of criminology classes, I realized, 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.240 I'm like, you know, like comicide detective work is really 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:23.200
