Speaker 1: Live from vetter Bill Sports and Spirits inside the Windham
Speaker 1: Hamilton's Park Hotel. It's Inside the Jets brought to you
Speaker 1: by e Y Building a Better Working World and by
Speaker 1: M and T Bank, the official community bank of your
Speaker 1: New York Jets. No, here's Eric Allen and Eric Coleman.
Speaker 1: Welcome to Inside the Jets. We are broadcasting live from
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel.
Speaker 1: Eric Allen alongside Eric Coleman. We will be joined later
Speaker 1: on in the show by Jets offensive lineman Jonathan Harrison.
Speaker 1: E the Jets after by they come out, they play
Speaker 1: off against the New England Patriots for a couple of quarters,
Speaker 1: but when the place had to be made in the
Speaker 1: second half, the Patriots took care of business and they
Speaker 1: take home a twenty seven to thirteen victory. It is
Speaker 1: the jets fifth consecutive loss. Yeah, that that hurts say
Speaker 1: in that, you know, five straight losses. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I thought the Jets played well in the first half.
Speaker 1: You know, they had a great game plan, they were competitive,
Speaker 1: they were taking it to the Patriots. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: and that's a great team they played just played against
Speaker 1: you know, they played against the probably the greatest quarterback
Speaker 1: of all time, and and he made some plays down
Speaker 1: down the stretch of the game that made the Jets pay,
Speaker 1: you know, but ultimately it was a tough fought game.
Speaker 1: I thought that, you know, the Jets played well. They
Speaker 1: executed well, especially in the first half. You know, they
Speaker 1: were handed going back and forth, and they responding, and
Speaker 1: they struck early in that game, and that's what you
Speaker 1: wanted to see. They had so many first quarters struggles.
Speaker 1: They hadn't scored a first quarter point since Week seven
Speaker 1: against the Minnesota Vikings. And Josh McCown led him into
Speaker 1: the end zone early. They took that seven nothing lead
Speaker 1: on a sixteen yard scoring pass to Jermain Chris. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was great to see Jermaine Curse getting too the
Speaker 1: end zone. You know, that was Josh McCown's favorite target
Speaker 1: last year and to see them connect again, you know
Speaker 1: it really Uh, you know got weyone excited. You know
Speaker 1: that that it's a lot of hard work that goes
Speaker 1: into those plays. The offensive line did a great job
Speaker 1: of protecting Josh McCown during the game, and uh, and
Speaker 1: he was able to find those open receivers inside the
Speaker 1: Jets is supported by selective insurance. Response is everything. I'm
Speaker 1: looking at my play by play right now. The Jets
Speaker 1: tie the game on a thirty eight yard Jason Meyers
Speaker 1: field goal on the third quarter to make it thirteen
Speaker 1: and thirteen. Here's the response from the Patriots, four place
Speaker 1: seventy five yards, culminating on a touchdown from Tom Brady
Speaker 1: to Julian Edelman. That's what championship teams do when they
Speaker 1: are pushed, they come right back and they took control. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, they did a great job of counterpunching. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, everyone knows. You know, when you play the Patriots,
Speaker 1: the game plan is gonna change a week to week.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have some different wrinkles in their in their offense,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna move the ball. You just have to
Speaker 1: try to limit them to field goals, try to keep
Speaker 1: them out of the end zone. They are gonna get
Speaker 1: chunk plays. They are gonna move the ball on you.
Speaker 1: You listen, Tom Brady isn't Tom Brady for no reason.
Speaker 1: You know, he does a great job of finding the
Speaker 1: open receivers, and it doesn't seem to matter who is
Speaker 1: playing receiver. He's gonna find the open man. Okay, bottom
Speaker 1: line though, what is happening with the Jets rushed defense.
Speaker 1: That is the second consecutive opponent who has come into
Speaker 1: MA Life Stadium, because we saw this from the Buffalo
Speaker 1: Bills in Week ten and the Patriots did just the
Speaker 1: same thing where they amass more the two yards on
Speaker 1: the ground. Yeah, you know, and that that's the pride
Speaker 1: of your defense. Every week. You go in wanting to
Speaker 1: stop the run, you know, because if you if you
Speaker 1: allow a team to run on you, then you open
Speaker 1: up the floodgates for everything, the play action passes, the
Speaker 1: deep shots. Uh, and you really leave yourself vulnerable as
Speaker 1: a defense, you know. Todd both said it after the game. Listen,
Speaker 1: there were some guys trying to make too many plays.
Speaker 1: They got a little undisciplined with their gap integrity, and
Speaker 1: that leads to big plays, you know, I know several plays.
Speaker 1: The first run by Sony Michelle, the thirty one yard run.
Speaker 1: You know, Nathan she the defensive end, Yes, Nathan Shepard,
Speaker 1: he was he was he was kind of turkey neck
Speaker 1: and he was supposed to be inside in his gap.
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams kind of went inside to cover for him,
Speaker 1: and then both of them got washed. It was a
Speaker 1: huge cutback lane for Sony Michelle to run through, and
Speaker 1: that can't happen. You know, you everyone has to do
Speaker 1: their job. You have to be able to trust the
Speaker 1: man next to you that he's gonna be in his
Speaker 1: gap and that everything you know can be limited that way.
Speaker 1: Why are those communication issues happening at this point in
Speaker 1: the season. Every Williamson talked to the media about that
Speaker 1: today said, sometimes maybe I got us in the wrong call,
Speaker 1: or maybe sometimes guys didn't hear me. But to your point,
Speaker 1: I think of what a lot is happening. A lot
Speaker 1: what's transpiring out there on the football field is guys
Speaker 1: are so eager to make a play that they're not
Speaker 1: following their own individual role in responsibility. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: when talking in regards to the communication, you know that
Speaker 1: that was my job and in the secondaries to communicate
Speaker 1: to everybody. And when you're playing at home, it can
Speaker 1: get tough. You know, that crowd is so loud that
Speaker 1: I could be standing next to you right now and
Speaker 1: you can't hear what I'm saying. So you have to
Speaker 1: come up with hands signals. You have to be demonstrative
Speaker 1: and signaling you know, the different changes in the coverages
Speaker 1: and and what you're playing. And one thing about you know, Avery,
Speaker 1: I'm saying he's making the wrong call. If you make
Speaker 1: the wrong call and everyone's on the same page, you
Speaker 1: can be all wrong, but you'll be all right. You know,
Speaker 1: everyone's on the same page. You can get through the down.
Speaker 1: But the problem comes when one guy's playing one coverage
Speaker 1: the other guys playing a different coverage. That's when you
Speaker 1: start to see the blown coverages, the big plays, and
Speaker 1: that just can't happen. Are you surprised by it? Right now?
Speaker 1: This defense, who was relatively sound against the run early
Speaker 1: on in the season is springing so many leaks because
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is gonna get his yards in the air
Speaker 1: against whoever he plays. Eric. Yeah, you know, you know what,
Speaker 1: it's difficult, you know, especially against the team like the Patriots.
Speaker 1: You know, they have so many weapons throwing the football
Speaker 1: that you know, you may look at the last four
Speaker 1: games they played and maybe they threw the ball ton
Speaker 1: you know today are this last game on Sunday? You know,
Speaker 1: especially in the second half, it seemed like they came
Speaker 1: out determined to run the football. It happened to us
Speaker 1: back in. I want to say it was two thousand seven. Uh.
Speaker 1: The Patriots played the Minnesota Vikings a week before us.
Speaker 1: Tom Brady back then through fifties fifty two passes. They
Speaker 1: were in spread formation every play and that was unheard
Speaker 1: of back then, fifty two passes. We prepared, We had
Speaker 1: dime packages, we brought up extra dB s, we activated guys,
Speaker 1: we had all kinds of packages ready. When we played
Speaker 1: them on Monday night. They ran it down our throat
Speaker 1: with three tight ends, two running backs for the first
Speaker 1: two series. And it's just they They're just one of
Speaker 1: those offenses that changes every single week, so it makes
Speaker 1: it tough. Offensively, the Jets got it moving in terms
Speaker 1: of yards, had about just under three hundred forty yards
Speaker 1: of total offense. Uh, Josh McCown through that scoring pass.
Speaker 1: Jermaine Curse, I thought they were a little bit better
Speaker 1: on third down. He also completed balls to eight different targets.
Speaker 1: But the points aren't there. Yeah, you know, executing in
Speaker 1: the red zone, you know, getting those points on the board,
Speaker 1: getting touchdowns, you know, when you play again. He's high
Speaker 1: powered offenses, and especially nowadays in the NFL, you need
Speaker 1: touchdowns when you get into the red zone. You you
Speaker 1: can't settle for too many field goals. You know, you
Speaker 1: look around the league and teams are putting up for points.
Speaker 1: You gotta find a way to get in there. Somebody
Speaker 1: has to make a play and break through for for
Speaker 1: a touchdown. All right, So a few lineup changes Sunday,
Speaker 1: Um and our next guest Jonathan Harrison, Actually he came
Speaker 1: in and started at center and Spencer Long took the
Speaker 1: place a big carp James Carpenter out of the lineup
Speaker 1: with the shoulder injury. What did you think about how
Speaker 1: the line played overall up front? Because I know the
Speaker 1: media was focusing a lot today on the past to
Speaker 1: run ratio. I think Josh McCown had forty five pass
Speaker 1: at tempts, not many rush attempts for the Jets on Sunday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I thought the offensive line did a great
Speaker 1: job of protecting McCown when they did run the ball. Listen,
Speaker 1: you know, I saw a couple of plays where where
Speaker 1: Spencer Long was playing guard, he pulled, he laid out
Speaker 1: a couple of the guys, you know, and it was
Speaker 1: it was great to see that chemistry. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: them stay bonded as offensive line. Although there's a couple
Speaker 1: of shuffles in the end the lineup, you know, you
Speaker 1: move a different position. They have that chemistry, they have
Speaker 1: that trust for one another. And it was seen yesterday
Speaker 1: or excuse me, yeah, yesterday in the game that they
Speaker 1: had that chemistry. The player that one of the young
Speaker 1: players that I'm most encouraged about is Chris Herndon. He
Speaker 1: leads all rookie tight ends in the National Football League
Speaker 1: in terms of receptions and he is second in yards.
Speaker 1: Against the Patriots, he had seven receptions. He is going
Speaker 1: to be a core piece for this team in two
Speaker 1: thousand nine team and beyond absolutely, you know, and Chris
Speaker 1: has done a great job of of working on his weaknesses.
Speaker 1: You know, he's a speedy tight end. He can he
Speaker 1: can win on those one on one matchups, and he's
Speaker 1: found a great rapport with the quarterbacks. And that's so
Speaker 1: important to have a tight end who can who can
Speaker 1: be be your security blanket, who can stretch the field
Speaker 1: down the middle. It makes it tough on the safety,
Speaker 1: you know, because you're playing safety, you're playing covered too.
Speaker 1: You may be going and looking at that number one receiver,
Speaker 1: but you're thinking about that tight end running up the
Speaker 1: seam and a guy like Chris Herndon can help you
Speaker 1: stretch the field and open things up for a quarterback.
Speaker 1: All right, and about the forty five seconds we have
Speaker 1: before we get to a commercial break, what do you
Speaker 1: think about if you're a fan right now, are you
Speaker 1: chomping at the bit for the next time Sam Donald
Speaker 1: returns to action. Now it's two consecutive games that he's
Speaker 1: missed with the strain foot. Josh McCown did some nice
Speaker 1: things out there, but the future of this team, this
Speaker 1: franchise is number four team. Yeah, you know you want
Speaker 1: to see your star player go out there and work
Speaker 1: and mature and get better week to week. You know,
Speaker 1: he's a rookie. He needs as many reps as possible.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you can't risk a long
Speaker 1: term injury and just rushing back on the field. But
Speaker 1: that's who the fans come to see. They come to
Speaker 1: see Sam Donald. They come to see his improvement week
Speaker 1: to week and see if you can continue to get better.
Speaker 1: We will have to monitor his progress throughout the week
Speaker 1: Top Bowl, so it's too early. We'll see where he's
Speaker 1: at later on in the week, but we'll come right
Speaker 1: back here on Inside the Jets with Jets offensive lineman
Speaker 1: Jonathan Harrison. Bunch set right, pre receiver, shotgun from account,
Speaker 1: quick snap, takes the snap, drops back under pressure, crows
Speaker 1: up in the middle. He's got curs at the pot.
Speaker 1: He touchs left, preaches the ball out at the call on.
Speaker 1: That's a Jet touchdown. Jemmy Curse dragging across the middle
Speaker 1: on third down and McCown finds him. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: Inside the Jets Are Player guest segment is presented by
Speaker 1: M and T Bank, the official community bank of your
Speaker 1: New York Jets. Eric Gallen here alongside Eric Coleman, and
Speaker 1: now we welcome in Jets offensive lineman Jonathan Harrison. Thanks
Speaker 1: so much for joining the program. Thanks for having me
Speaker 1: than Jonathan, So when did you know early? At what
Speaker 1: point in the week did you know, Hey, big carp
Speaker 1: is gonna be out, Because typically Carpenter is a fixture
Speaker 1: in that lineup. He hadn't missed the game throughout his
Speaker 1: Jets tenure. It was like fifty eight ecutive starts. So
Speaker 1: then you had to do some shuffling and that Matt
Speaker 1: Spencer Long moves over to lifeguard and you're inserted at
Speaker 1: the center position. UM. Yeah, so just during the weeks sometime,
Speaker 1: you know, coaches mentioned that you know that might that
Speaker 1: might be a possibility for the week. So you know,
Speaker 1: they just uh told me to prepare as if you know,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start the game. And you know, that's what
Speaker 1: That's why I tried to do the best job I could.
Speaker 1: And you know, I feel like we had a great
Speaker 1: chemistry out there on the line on Sunday. And you know,
Speaker 1: despite the results of the game, you know, I think
Speaker 1: there was a growth in certain areas. Now, now can
Speaker 1: you talk about you know, everyone talks about the center position. Now,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of communication. You're like the head of
Speaker 1: the offensive line. What goes on before a snap at
Speaker 1: the center position? What do you have to identify? What
Speaker 1: communication do you have to make? Um? So, yeah, so
Speaker 1: we we look at the defensive front. You know, we
Speaker 1: tell whether you know, three down, four down defense, Uh,
Speaker 1: identify the middle linebacker who are gonna be working too,
Speaker 1: and then we make the calls across the line, you know, accordingly,
Speaker 1: and um the calls get sent all the way out
Speaker 1: to the tight end, sometimes the back of the running
Speaker 1: backs depending on the play. How easy does Josh McCown,
Speaker 1: make it for you. Here's a guy who is in
Speaker 1: his sixteenth NFL season now, he's thirty nine years old.
Speaker 1: I probably I'm thinking that he hasn't seen too many defenses.
Speaker 1: They're gonna throw him off. Yeah, yeah, he has. You
Speaker 1: can tell he has a lot of experience, a lot
Speaker 1: of confidence, very comfortable um in the huddle and just
Speaker 1: his comfort. Not saying, you know, Sam, they have any comfort.
Speaker 1: Anything sounds very comfortable, but his comfort just you know
Speaker 1: what's just always a reassuring team, you know that for
Speaker 1: a huddle and just going out there. The swagger he
Speaker 1: plays with the competitor and it's really great to work with.
Speaker 1: What did you think about that ten yard run in
Speaker 1: the third quarter? Was the third and ten you guys
Speaker 1: are trailing I believe thirteen to tenant at the time,
Speaker 1: and McCown put his body on the line. He didn't
Speaker 1: have to do that. A lot of quarterbacks might get
Speaker 1: down and say, okay, I'll take the eight yards, put
Speaker 1: Jason Meyers on the field, will take the three. But
Speaker 1: he extended and he really took. He did, he did,
Speaker 1: and we're like, man, there he goes, Josh again, there
Speaker 1: he goes he's such a competitor he doesn't even think
Speaker 1: to slide. Like once he's out there running in the field,
Speaker 1: he's no longer a quarterback, like he's a ball carrier
Speaker 1: at that point. So, so is it different, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: protecting different types of quarterbacks? I know you you blocked
Speaker 1: for Andrew Luck in the past. Um, Josh mccalm more
Speaker 1: of a pocket passer, but he can't show his athleticism.
Speaker 1: Is it difficult playing, you know, blocking four different types
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks? Um, not too difficult, Not too difficult, as
Speaker 1: long as, like the chemistry is there. No, as long
Speaker 1: as a chemistry you know, you know what, um, they're
Speaker 1: gonna do. And as long as you're doing your job,
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about what's going on back
Speaker 1: there at the end of the day. And then speaking
Speaker 1: of that chemistry, spenter Long was next to you during
Speaker 1: this game? What was that like? Where you guys communicating
Speaker 1: you know, more than often more than the regular with
Speaker 1: both of you play in the same position. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, just basically having two centers out there on
Speaker 1: the offensive line, you know, so you know, we we
Speaker 1: we understand everything that's going on, makes communication very very easy. Um,
Speaker 1: were sitting next to each other in the meeting room,
Speaker 1: so we're always chatting, going back and forth about what
Speaker 1: we're watching on film, So communicating with him was was
Speaker 1: quite simple. You know that we really just give a beat.
Speaker 1: Jets Reward members, don't forget to enter the code post
Speaker 1: in your Jets Rewards portal during the show to earn
Speaker 1: a hundred points. That is post you're listening to Inside
Speaker 1: the Jets, you might be watching Inside the Jets. Eric
Speaker 1: Allen and Eric Coleman, joined now by Jonathan Harrison. What
Speaker 1: can you say about the athleticism of Day four or
Speaker 1: a four? Mentioned Spencer Long because he was talking about
Speaker 1: in the opening segment, Jonathan, he really got out on
Speaker 1: one pole, yes, to destroy somebody. Man. He was he
Speaker 1: was licking his chops for that place. He was waiting
Speaker 1: on that play to get called. And I missed, you know,
Speaker 1: I missed what actually happened. I looked up on the
Speaker 1: Jumbo try I'm like, dang, Spen, like, yeah, he really
Speaker 1: laid into that dude. But that's what gets an offense going,
Speaker 1: that's what brings the energy into the hotel. As a
Speaker 1: defensive back, that hurt my feelings to see the big
Speaker 1: center running around. I think it was mccordy who he hit.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if he looked like he was
Speaker 1: a blind deer in the headlights. He just got rolled over.
Speaker 1: That was That's awesome. That has to motivate your Definitely, Definitely,
Speaker 1: any time the defensive bat gets near the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: we're trying to take them out, like, don't don't come
Speaker 1: in here, to stay out there, don't don't come in here?
Speaker 1: What about the challenge for an offensive line meant an
Speaker 1: offensive lineman and an offensive line is a unit when
Speaker 1: you guys are retreating. Because when I say retreating, you're
Speaker 1: in past par a lot. Yesterday, I think there was
Speaker 1: maybe fifty call pass plays and just fifteen maybe runs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, we we did pass the ball a lot
Speaker 1: and um, you know times that can't be difficult, you know,
Speaker 1: passing the ball. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: that's our job. You know, that's what we trained to do,
Speaker 1: that's what we're supposed to do. And you know, hats
Speaker 1: off to all offensive lineman for being phenomenal athletes. You know,
Speaker 1: the ability to back up and stop a three hundred
Speaker 1: pound man for running straight through you know, it's impressive.
Speaker 1: It is so so when you get to the sideline,
Speaker 1: I e like, coach, come on now, I want to
Speaker 1: tee off on this guy. I need to. I need
Speaker 1: to get some get back these bull rush is that
Speaker 1: I'm getting? You know, we definitely only we definitely requested
Speaker 1: and um, you know, but we have to trust whatever
Speaker 1: the coach is calling in and and we're willing to
Speaker 1: do whatever he has. Well, of course it's always fun
Speaker 1: teeing off on someone in the run game. Okay, we
Speaker 1: have to solve a riddle over at one Jets Drive.
Speaker 1: Henry Anderson used to be a teammate of yours in Indianapolis.
Speaker 1: Jonathan started his career with the Colts. The nickname of
Speaker 1: Goose came over from Indianapolis to the Jets. But nobody
Speaker 1: knows why Henry Anderson has that nickname? Can you tell
Speaker 1: us or no? You know, Oh man, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I could do that to Henry, I don't know.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to ask Henry on that one. Okay,
Speaker 1: you know it's it's it's not it's really not that bad.
Speaker 1: But you're gonna have to ask Henry on that one.
Speaker 1: So that secret is going to stay in Indiana. I guess,
Speaker 1: I guess. So the teammates. Um, what's the system change
Speaker 1: been like for you this year? As far as Rick
Speaker 1: Dennison up front being in a run game coordinator and
Speaker 1: also or your offensive line coach, can you talk about
Speaker 1: the zone blocking system? Um, you know, I love the
Speaker 1: zone you know I love the zone scheme, and he
Speaker 1: does a great job of coaching the zone scheme, making
Speaker 1: sure everyone understands, you know, the signment, so not only
Speaker 1: just us, you know the tight ends, you know the
Speaker 1: path of the back where this play is supposed to hit,
Speaker 1: and and him, um, you know him really emphasizing, you know,
Speaker 1: the learning of the run game in the zone game.
Speaker 1: I think it's just helped build us as an offensive line,
Speaker 1: just make you know, being able to plug and play
Speaker 1: different players that much easier but transitions, and you are
Speaker 1: an athletic center. So did did you think that plays
Speaker 1: into your talents? Very well? Yes, yes it does. You
Speaker 1: know I do enjoy especially on loutside zones and using
Speaker 1: speed instead of just power all the time. So yeah,
Speaker 1: like mixing it up. So, so what are some of
Speaker 1: the differences between man and zone blocking? Is it in
Speaker 1: zone you're just getting a hat for a hat and
Speaker 1: you just get the running back just runs to your butt.
Speaker 1: Is that kind of what the scheme is? Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: yes and no. Yes, And though you know, I want
Speaker 1: to create some double teams one possible, want to create
Speaker 1: some double teams. But you know, the idea is to
Speaker 1: get the defensive flowing to open up, you know, cutback
Speaker 1: lanes or whatever lanes for the running back and you
Speaker 1: know whichever, you know M directions or you know, backside
Speaker 1: blocking by the tight ends, whatever it is. We're just
Speaker 1: trying to cut the defense and give the running back
Speaker 1: lane to get there. If you're wondering why Jonathan Harrison
Speaker 1: is so well spoken, Well, he's a University of Florida
Speaker 1: law I'm just like myself, so go Gators. I'm so
Speaker 1: happy that he's up here tonight. Jonathan, Uh, you're a
Speaker 1: fascinating guy. You're very involved in the community with the
Speaker 1: Jets and ANTII bowling efforts. You're all over the place.
Speaker 1: You go to school's left and right. But first off,
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about your aspirations to be
Speaker 1: a homicide detective. What is that all about? Just something
Speaker 1: I kind of stumbled across. Um, yeah, you stumbled across it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I kind of stumbled across. And you know, I started
Speaker 1: out a psych major in college, and um, I was
Speaker 1: having troupe using an online course, so I switched on
Speaker 1: my major and uh, and my academic advisor told me,
Speaker 1: he's like, hey, you know, criminology and anthropology. You can
Speaker 1: you can get both of these majors with what you've
Speaker 1: already started with with psych. So I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: let me go that route. You know, after a couple
Speaker 1: of homicide classes, a couple of criminology classes, I realized,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, like comicide detective work is really
Speaker 1: fascinating to me. It sounds kind of strange, but I'm
Speaker 1: a big puzzle guy, so like solving things like I
Speaker 1: love like escape rooms and stuff like that, like solving
Speaker 1: things like really I don't know, playing to my strength.
Speaker 1: So so like the courses I had, when you know,
Speaker 1: like you're out of crimes and they're investigating not just
Speaker 1: like what happened, but why it happened, how it happened,
Speaker 1: all that really sparked my interest. So sometimes I like
Speaker 1: to pursue after foo you will though, yes, yes, now
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. So you're into homicide you're
Speaker 1: as far as from a detective uh the detective focus.
Speaker 1: Do you watch certain shows that you might binge on
Speaker 1: and say, well you put yourself in buddy shoes? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. I've I've been down a lot of you know,
Speaker 1: murder mystery shows. Home side shows are like the Dexters. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, like the TV shows like the first forty eight,
Speaker 1: the c S. I s um, I'm trying to think,
Speaker 1: I like mine Hunter, like just how to get away
Speaker 1: with murder and making the murder like whatever shows you
Speaker 1: can you can think. I've tried them, at least tried them.
Speaker 1: So so you go have a certain outfit you're gonna
Speaker 1: wear the trench coat and the whole top hat thing.
Speaker 1: I have to kind of figure my swag out. When
Speaker 1: I got I'll figure it out. We got about thirty seconds.
Speaker 1: What about Can you talk about what you're doing in
Speaker 1: the community with the Jets. I talked about the anti
Speaker 1: bowling before it. Why that is near and dear to
Speaker 1: your heart and what has that experience been like for you? Um? Yeah,
Speaker 1: So you know this year I've been trying to get
Speaker 1: involved with Stomp. I'll buling more and know when I
Speaker 1: was younger, I was bullied. You know, I was bullied
Speaker 1: here and there, bullying um in elementary school, middle school.
Speaker 1: You know, I was a lot bigger than my classmates.
Speaker 1: I've been over two dred pounds in fifth grade, so
Speaker 1: you know there was times I get picked on, you know,
Speaker 1: get called chubby whatever, and so it really just hits
Speaker 1: home with me that I understand that. You know, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of bullying going on schools today, in society today,
Speaker 1: especially with the access of social media, just gives another
Speaker 1: platform me a bullied and you know, I just, um,
Speaker 1: I wish somebody would have reached out to me, you know,
Speaker 1: when I was going outside and you know, talking to
Speaker 1: my parents, and I just feel like, if I can
Speaker 1: you know, talk to you know, a kid, you know,
Speaker 1: once a week, whatever it may be, that that may
Speaker 1: be going through a hard time, letting them know it's
Speaker 1: gonna be okay and that they can't take what's going
Speaker 1: on personally, like that's just for whatever reason that person
Speaker 1: is picking on them, they have to learn, you know,
Speaker 1: to help that grow their strength or inner strength and
Speaker 1: get through that. And if I'm able to do that,
Speaker 1: touch one person a week or so you know them
Speaker 1: until being you know to how much you enjoy that.
Speaker 1: I do, I really do, I really do? You know,
Speaker 1: love seeing the smile interface. You know, they feel special
Speaker 1: for once instead of feeling, you know, like a miniscule
Speaker 1: person in their school like they feel special, they feel
Speaker 1: important and it gives them like this confidence to the
Speaker 1: kind of you know, stand up to these bullies and
Speaker 1: stand up to whoever and making them feel inferior. You're
Speaker 1: gonna be watching the town to see Titans one in
Speaker 1: night football. Definitely rushing home to watch after the advanced
Speaker 1: Advanced Scouting report for Jonathan Harrison. Thanks so much for
Speaker 1: joining us tonight. Eric Coleman and I will be back
Speaker 1: on it said the Jets down the middle, this is
Speaker 1: a cupball and it's gonna be intercepted. Terrible throw by
Speaker 1: Josh McCown because he just threw one up for grabs
Speaker 1: and it is picked off by Stefan Gilmore at the
Speaker 1: Patriot two yard line. Welcome back to Inside the Jets.
Speaker 1: We are broadcasting live from Vanderbilt Sports in Spirits inside
Speaker 1: the Windham Hamilton Park Hotel. Inside the Jets is presented
Speaker 1: by e Y Building a Better Working World. Eric Allen
Speaker 1: and Eric Coleman here I'll tell you who's building a
Speaker 1: better working world. That's Jonathan Harrison. He's got a lot
Speaker 1: of things going on, man, I mean, that's that's great
Speaker 1: to hear. You know. First of all, it's great to
Speaker 1: hear him being in the community helping out kids going
Speaker 1: through the same things that he went through in life.
Speaker 1: You know, when you're when you're a big football player,
Speaker 1: people tend to listen to you, you know, and to
Speaker 1: be able to go help those kids, man, and be
Speaker 1: a shining light to their day, that that's big time
Speaker 1: by him. Growing up, I would have never thought of
Speaker 1: looking at the guy it's two hundred pounds in fifth
Speaker 1: grade and think people were bullying him. I always looked
Speaker 1: at the big guys and said, I'm staying away from that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know that that's the main people that they bully,
Speaker 1: you know, because they're insecure about themselves, so they try
Speaker 1: to pick on the big guy. But I'm sure once
Speaker 1: he got in high school all that change once he
Speaker 1: started getting in the weight room and everything. But it's
Speaker 1: really good to hear him, uh, you know, step out
Speaker 1: of his comfort zone and go out there and help
Speaker 1: those others. It is a monstrous problem today on social media,
Speaker 1: especially for young kids. So I love that he's going
Speaker 1: in and trying to make a difference. It has to
Speaker 1: resonate when they hear, maybe from a professional athlete compared
Speaker 1: to a teacher, because sometimes maybe you're not gonna listen
Speaker 1: to a teacher growing up, but you look up to
Speaker 1: a professional athlete in a different kind of way and
Speaker 1: maybe will resonate with you. Yeah, that's why you gotta
Speaker 1: give him a lot of credit spending his his time,
Speaker 1: his time off the field, spending time with those kids
Speaker 1: and making that impression. You know, you you said it.
Speaker 1: You know you may not listen to your coach, you know, mom,
Speaker 1: eat your vegetables whatever, but if a big Jet player
Speaker 1: comes through, I'm gonna eat my vegetables. Now. Criminology, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I taking criminology of courses at the University of Florida.
Speaker 1: And then now after his playing career is over, which
Speaker 1: he's doing a nice job right now as a versatile
Speaker 1: alignment for the Jets, he's potentially talking about being a
Speaker 1: how a side. That's awesome. I love that. I love that,
Speaker 1: you know, and it's great to hear that he's working
Speaker 1: towards his post football goals because you know, that's that's
Speaker 1: the big thing. So did you like the athleticism you
Speaker 1: saw from the offensive line yesterday against the Patriots Because
Speaker 1: Jonathan up there planning center, he's got very good feet,
Speaker 1: and that Spencer Long looked a lot more comfortable, I
Speaker 1: thought at the guard position because he's been struggling at
Speaker 1: center because he's dealing with the finger in trade. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, well, first of all, you obviously want big
Speaker 1: Carpenter in there. Yeah, he's one of these one of
Speaker 1: the best cards in the game. But anytime that you
Speaker 1: can lose a guy and be able to to keep
Speaker 1: that same consistency with Spencer Long, it's a great sign.
Speaker 1: And how about a credit to Spencer's athleticism. You know,
Speaker 1: he was a guard at first when he was the Redskins.
Speaker 1: They moved him to the center being able to be
Speaker 1: that that versatile player. You know, the more you can do,
Speaker 1: you know, the more ways you can help that team.
Speaker 1: The Jets have not had a defensive takeaway in five games,
Speaker 1: and they were living off the takeaways early in the season.
Speaker 1: You played safety in the National Football that you made
Speaker 1: it easy, and you made it look easy your rookie year.
Speaker 1: You started getting takeaways left and right as soon as
Speaker 1: you came out of Washington State. But kind a serious noe.
Speaker 1: What is going on? Why can't they get the ball with? Well,
Speaker 1: you know a couple of things you play into that.
Speaker 1: You know, it's easier to get takeaways when you're putting
Speaker 1: points on the board, you know, because that team that
Speaker 1: you're playing has to throw the ball there in situations
Speaker 1: where they can't really manipulate the defense. But if you
Speaker 1: get down, you allow a team to run the football
Speaker 1: on you. Now you start, you start playing reactive instead
Speaker 1: of you know, being the enforcers on defense. Instead of
Speaker 1: jumping routes, you're reacting too routes. You know, if there's
Speaker 1: a play action play, you have to honor that play
Speaker 1: action because they've been running the ball so well. So
Speaker 1: I think stopping the run will be a great way
Speaker 1: to to to start back to that turnover battle, uh,
Speaker 1: getting getting pressure on the quarterback. But offensive, you gotta
Speaker 1: put some points on the board. Play with the lead
Speaker 1: really does help your defense. So what would you do
Speaker 1: if you're a coaching staff right now? When Avery Williamson,
Speaker 1: who we've had him on the show, very intelligent guy
Speaker 1: and he cares about it and there's a lot of
Speaker 1: guys inside that locker room who care about it. They
Speaker 1: want to win it, but right now it's not working
Speaker 1: in terms of what's happening those mistakes, especially on the
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, in terms of stop in
Speaker 1: the run and guys not being on the same page
Speaker 1: or maybe not staying maintaining their gap integrity, or just
Speaker 1: maybe one guy out of eleven is not doing the thing.
Speaker 1: What are you doing inside the locker room right now?
Speaker 1: If you're a player, well, you know, I think that
Speaker 1: you know, at this point in the season when when
Speaker 1: you have you know, single players not doing their job
Speaker 1: or trying to do too much, I think you have
Speaker 1: to put it out on blast in front of the team,
Speaker 1: show them listen. We can't have you doing your own thing.
Speaker 1: If we want to be successful as a team, everyone
Speaker 1: has to know and do their job and execute it
Speaker 1: if you want, you know, if you want to win,
Speaker 1: you want to be successful. I'm counting on you to
Speaker 1: be right here. You're counting on me to do my job.
Speaker 1: I can't play well if you don't do your job.
Speaker 1: That's the that's the the message that has to be
Speaker 1: resonated to that defense in front of the whole team,
Speaker 1: because maybe at that point, maybe you'll start thinking, you know,
Speaker 1: if the offensive guys are seeing me, uh, seeing it
Speaker 1: called out that I'm making mistakes, maybe that'll make me
Speaker 1: make me change my ways and play within that defense pressure. Yeah. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: you know, the leadership has to you know, the leaders
Speaker 1: of the team, whether offense, defense, you have to emphasize everybody,
Speaker 1: do your job. You know, you can't do too much.
Speaker 1: Don't try to do my job and your job. Do
Speaker 1: your job. That's the that's the first way we're gonna
Speaker 1: start making plays. If you you know, once you carry
Speaker 1: out your assignment, let it loose. Go ahead and make
Speaker 1: a play. Go strip the ball, go, you know, get
Speaker 1: after the quarterback, do whatever it takes. But we cannot
Speaker 1: be you not have integrity as a defense. We can't
Speaker 1: have success as a defense if one guy is doing
Speaker 1: whatever he wants. I know, fans, a lot of fans
Speaker 1: are looking forward to December thirty one, because that's not
Speaker 1: of the season. And you can turn the page at
Speaker 1: three and eight on a five game losing streak. Tell
Speaker 1: fans right now, what you as a player has to
Speaker 1: play for over these five and five games. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: during these last five games. You play for the man
Speaker 1: next to you. You know, you play for the name
Speaker 1: on the front of your jersey and the back. You
Speaker 1: have to play with pride. Go out there and you
Speaker 1: know it's an honor and a privilege to be a
Speaker 1: part of this NFL. Any opportunity you get the step
Speaker 1: on that field, you play like it's your last play,
Speaker 1: you know, And you have to think as a player.
Speaker 1: The whole league is watching, and the best time to
Speaker 1: evaluate a player is when things aren't going well. You know,
Speaker 1: you want to make sure that that player still works hard,
Speaker 1: he cares about his teammates, he's not selfish, he's gonna
Speaker 1: bust his But when things aren't going well, that's when
Speaker 1: you really need to dig deep, find that extra gear
Speaker 1: and find that motivation for your brothers in that locker room. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then, frankly, they're gonna be some veterans who are
Speaker 1: not wearing green and white next year and they have
Speaker 1: to put good things on film because they want to
Speaker 1: be employed by another team in two thousand nineteen. Correct. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're playing for jobs right now. You know, when things
Speaker 1: aren't going well, you start seeing different people in your
Speaker 1: meeting rooms. You know, they start bringing guys up the street,
Speaker 1: they start activating players. You know, when when the playoff
Speaker 1: picture looks bleak, they're gonna start trying. You know, why
Speaker 1: not give a guy a shot who's been busting his
Speaker 1: butt on practice squad. Give him a chance to go
Speaker 1: out there and prove what he's got to show that
Speaker 1: he can maybe playing this league and make a career
Speaker 1: for him. So if you're taking it for granted as
Speaker 1: a player, shame on you. You're gonna get up out
Speaker 1: of here. Uh, Speaking of that opportunities for guys, I
Speaker 1: thought Darryl Roberts played very well at cornerback early in
Speaker 1: the season. Yesterday he was thrust into the starting lineup
Speaker 1: with Marcus May being out at this safety position. You
Speaker 1: played safety during your career. What did you think about
Speaker 1: how he played overall, because again, this is a guy
Speaker 1: who's probably not taking a lot of snaps even on
Speaker 1: the practice field safety. I thought he did a great job.
Speaker 1: You know, playing corner and playing safety are two completely
Speaker 1: different positions. One you're isolated on the island, you're on
Speaker 1: the track by yourself. The other one you see the
Speaker 1: entire field. You have to look at certain keys, you
Speaker 1: have to be at certain landmarks. You can't let the
Speaker 1: quarterback manipulate you. And you played against the master manipulator
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady yesterday. I thought he did a solid
Speaker 1: job of keeping everything in front of him, breaking down
Speaker 1: on plays and making good open field tackles. Alright, one guy,
Speaker 1: we know he's gonna be back here in two thousand nineteen.
Speaker 1: You can put that in Penn. He's gonna be here
Speaker 1: in He's gonna be here in one. Jamal Adams, what
Speaker 1: did you think about his performance against the Patriots. I
Speaker 1: think he takes a lot of pride and nat match
Speaker 1: up against Robin Rakowski because he talked a lot after
Speaker 1: the game thirty three Jamal Adams, he talked about respect
Speaker 1: because I think a lot of people held it over
Speaker 1: has had What happened the first time Rob Gronkowski came
Speaker 1: thembat Life Stadium, he had a pair of touchdowns and
Speaker 1: Jamal was maybe a little bit late on a couple
Speaker 1: of plays. Last year's final game this season was at
Speaker 1: Gillette Stadium, Rob Gronkowski had zero catches. Yesterday, Gronkowski got
Speaker 1: into the end zone, but when Jamal Adams was matched
Speaker 1: up with him, he did a good job and he
Speaker 1: had three past defenses. He did a great job. You know,
Speaker 1: he limited Gronkowski to three catches. As you mentioned, that
Speaker 1: touchdown was in his own cover. Jamal had nothing to
Speaker 1: do with it. Every every Williamson said today in the
Speaker 1: conference call that we were in cover two, the Jets
Speaker 1: wearing covered two and Gronk was my guy. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was a tough cover though. It's a tough play. Claiborne
Speaker 1: was down at the corner position, he had to rotate
Speaker 1: to the half. That just that's just a tough call
Speaker 1: for that situation and a tough position to be in
Speaker 1: with a speedy tight end like Rob Gronkowski. But going
Speaker 1: back to Jamal Adams, you have to take it personal.
Speaker 1: You know, you were brought here as one of those
Speaker 1: players that was that was here to stop Gronkowchier, here
Speaker 1: to stop those tight ends that have been dominating the
Speaker 1: a f C. You have to take it personal when
Speaker 1: when they put that challenge in front of you, and
Speaker 1: when you click on the tape, one thing you're gonna
Speaker 1: see is Jamal out of flying around, giving full effort,
Speaker 1: playing with his hair and fire. Yeah, he may make mistakes,
Speaker 1: but he's doing it going full speed. And if I'm
Speaker 1: a coach and I'm watching that, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1: He is so excited to play the game of football.
Speaker 1: He loves it so much. Eric Uh and that hit
Speaker 1: a Julian Edelman. I'm sure I don't want's feeling that
Speaker 1: today as well. Oh yeah, he's feeling that. He also
Speaker 1: had a nice shot on Gronkowski. And you love that,
Speaker 1: you know, as a fan of a former player, a
Speaker 1: fan of football, you can see. You can't hide it.
Speaker 1: You can't just fake being passionate about this game. It
Speaker 1: shows when you click on the tape and the way
Speaker 1: Jamal is playing, you know, listen, I'm pumped up about
Speaker 1: him because I'm a former safety. The way he flies around,
Speaker 1: the way the enthusiasm he plays with with the game,
Speaker 1: it's infectious. The guy next to you, and you know
Speaker 1: that if you're not as good as Jamal, or maybe
Speaker 1: you are as good as Jamal, Listen, I have to
Speaker 1: play up to that level. I can't let my teammate down.
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what Jamal brings to the Jets.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what if I wasn't remember the Jets
Speaker 1: organization and I was just watching Jamal Adams on TV,
Speaker 1: I would say, I would think some of that is manufactured.
Speaker 1: It is not. That is his personality. He is NonStop.
Speaker 1: He never stops talking, he never stops moving. I mean,
Speaker 1: if it's a misfield goal, he's running a hundred yards
Speaker 1: down the field. He he's on the bench, he's ready
Speaker 1: to go. He's talking to the other team, he's talking
Speaker 1: to his teammates. Man, he is a football player. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that kind of player is going to take to to
Speaker 1: change the course of of a season, take the change
Speaker 1: the course of a program. You need to get a
Speaker 1: bunch of Jamal Adams on your team. Get them all together,
Speaker 1: working hard, pushing one another, demanding that the best out
Speaker 1: of one another. That's one thing that Jamal does. He
Speaker 1: demands the best out of his teammates. You need a
Speaker 1: bunch of guys like that, holding each other account, will
Speaker 1: given their best effort, doing their job, making plays. That's
Speaker 1: when you start to win, and that's when you start
Speaker 1: to make a big impact. Jamal addams message to the
Speaker 1: fan base after the Jets latest loss was stick with us,
Speaker 1: and I would say the same thing viaus Eric Coleman
Speaker 1: and I will be back for a final segment here
Speaker 1: on Inside the Jets. Rady with White sw his right
Speaker 1: directing traffic, takes the snaff, drops back, floats one over
Speaker 1: the middle, looking for Grontowski at the coal line. He
Speaker 1: makes the catch end of the end zone. It's a
Speaker 1: Patriot touchdown. So the Jets take the penalty and set
Speaker 1: up declining and it burns them. Has Bronk stores on
Speaker 1: a floating pass right over the middle from Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to it, said the Jets. We are broadcasting
Speaker 1: live from Banderbilt Sports and spirits inside to Windham Hamilton's
Speaker 1: Park Hotel. Remember, Jets fans, you can stream inside the
Speaker 1: Jets live through the Jets app, presented by M and
Speaker 1: T Bank. Go to the app store or Google Play
Speaker 1: now in search Official New York Jets. Eric Allen and
Speaker 1: Eric Coleman. Here we just heard. Bob was Shusan's call
Speaker 1: of the Patriots first touchdown, which was a third in twelve,
Speaker 1: A conversion to Rob Gronkowski. We talked about it a
Speaker 1: little bit before Avery Williamson took responsibility, said Gronk was
Speaker 1: my guy. Covered two. With that being said, I want
Speaker 1: to ask you about the decision because a lot of
Speaker 1: fans came after me on social media yesterday. I thought
Speaker 1: it was the right call third and two offensive pass interference.
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles has a decision to make their Either you
Speaker 1: go fourth and two and the Patriots come out, do
Speaker 1: they kick a field goal? Belichick says today they would have.
Speaker 1: I don't know that. And the Patriots percentages over the
Speaker 1: last eighteen years since Tom Brady has been playing quarterback
Speaker 1: fourth in two or less, I bet you they're pretty good.
Speaker 1: I'm moving the back because what have I done well
Speaker 1: defensively throughout this season? Stand wise? Not a ton of
Speaker 1: things excellent, but third down defense number two in the
Speaker 1: National Football League. I understood the decision. I understood the
Speaker 1: decision as well. I mean, you're fourth and two in
Speaker 1: the red zone. You know, do you push them back?
Speaker 1: You don't. You're not expecting your defense to give up
Speaker 1: a touchdown. If anything, if you're gonna give him flak,
Speaker 1: do it for the play call on defense, don't give him.
Speaker 1: Don't give him flak for declining the penalty and having
Speaker 1: them be in third Are taking the penalty and being
Speaker 1: in third and twelve? Um, you know, I thought the
Speaker 1: decision was was the correct one to make. And you know,
Speaker 1: it's easy to sit back and talk about a decision
Speaker 1: after it happened, after a touchdown was given up. If
Speaker 1: it's fourth and two and they running in for a touchdown,
Speaker 1: everybody's complaining about him not taking the penalty. So it's
Speaker 1: a tough position to be in as a quarterback. I
Speaker 1: think people are being a little too critical on that call.
Speaker 1: I think they're just looking for something. But again, if
Speaker 1: you believe that you gotta shot at from the high,
Speaker 1: havevens as soon as happening. I sat there in the
Speaker 1: press box before Glenkowski was in the end zone, before
Speaker 1: the snap at third and twelve, and I said, you
Speaker 1: gotta move them back here because they're gonna go for
Speaker 1: the fourth and two. And oh, by the way, fourth
Speaker 1: and two of the twenty four yard line is a
Speaker 1: forty two yard field goal attempt if you go for
Speaker 1: a field goal. If you don't go for a field
Speaker 1: goal and you stop on third down, it's a fifty
Speaker 1: two yard field goal. Times Yeah, you know. And that
Speaker 1: was Todd Bowls trusting his defense, trusting that they were
Speaker 1: gonna do enough to get them off the field on
Speaker 1: third down. Listen, as an offensive coordinator, there aren't too
Speaker 1: many calls that you have in your playbook that are
Speaker 1: third and twelve conversions. It's a tough down in distance.
Speaker 1: Statistically wise, you look at the third down in in
Speaker 1: eight plus, it's a very low percentage of converse, even
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. Because if you talk to people in
Speaker 1: New England this year, what is Brady struggled with? He
Speaker 1: struggled with pressure. The blitz in the Jets brought the pressure,
Speaker 1: just got there a little bit late. But don't call
Speaker 1: us homers either, because we're sitting here on the inside
Speaker 1: the Jets because you just said it. You don't have
Speaker 1: a problem with them accepting the penal problem. You have
Speaker 1: a problem with the play call, yeah, and I have
Speaker 1: a problem with it with the result. Are you giving
Speaker 1: a touchdown the end of the day. Well, you can't
Speaker 1: determine that as a coach. What what do you have
Speaker 1: liked to see in there? In terms of play call?
Speaker 1: Uh play called high red zone. You know, I'm a
Speaker 1: big man to man coverage in the high zone, you know,
Speaker 1: play man with the free safety down the middle. That's
Speaker 1: my thing. But you know, as you get closer you
Speaker 1: have to go into zones. You have to go into
Speaker 1: red two coverage where you have seven across. But you know,
Speaker 1: to be in that position, everything can be through. All
Speaker 1: your deep shots can be thrown on a rope, so
Speaker 1: to being a cover to zone. That's a tough position
Speaker 1: to put your defense in. Okay, So what do you
Speaker 1: think about the schedule coming up? The Jets play the
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans Sunday and Nashville. We know they've struggled on
Speaker 1: the road over the course of the last two seasons, Tennessee.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a tricky little spot for them. Yes,
Speaker 1: the Jets are struggling mightily, we know that. But Tennesseee
Speaker 1: in a few moments kicks off against the Houston Texas
Speaker 1: in a game they need in the f C self
Speaker 1: if they want to have any chance of winning the
Speaker 1: a f C self. That's gonna be a competitive, nasty
Speaker 1: ball game down in Texas. Then a short week to
Speaker 1: prepare for the Jets a team frankly they might be overlooking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, this is a great game for the Jet
Speaker 1: to watch. It's a division game. All the games matter,
Speaker 1: you know, every week is the most important game. But
Speaker 1: when you play within the division against your foes, you're
Speaker 1: gonna give it your best shot. You're gonna leave no
Speaker 1: no stone unturned. So the Jets are gonna see the
Speaker 1: real Tennessee Titans right now. It's gonna give him an
Speaker 1: opportunity to to prepare for him. You know. See the personnel,
Speaker 1: see what they like to do with third, third and
Speaker 1: short when it really counts. You know. That's the things
Speaker 1: that I'm looking for as a player right now. This
Speaker 1: is a very big game. So if you were a
Speaker 1: player right now, you would literally go home and sit
Speaker 1: in front of the TV and watch this. Yeah, I would.
Speaker 1: I would casually watch this game, would and pay attention,
Speaker 1: you know, to some of the key players, just for
Speaker 1: a personnel, just for a personnel standpoint. You know, they
Speaker 1: are not in your division. You don't typically play the
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, So personnel is something that you may not
Speaker 1: be aware of. You're gonna learn a lot about the players,
Speaker 1: and you gonna learn a lot of inside about the tendencies,
Speaker 1: what they like to do, what they excel at. That's
Speaker 1: what I'm listening for Tomorrow. I go watch the All
Speaker 1: twenty two, the big the front and the side in
Speaker 1: the backfield, and that's when you start getting into your
Speaker 1: film study and uh, knowing that the key components of
Speaker 1: the team and trying to find your advantage. Surprise at
Speaker 1: all that Tennessee has been inconsistent here in two thousand
Speaker 1: and eighteen, a new coach, Mike Rabol, a guy who
Speaker 1: actually used to be an assistant in Houston, and they've
Speaker 1: scored a lot of impressive victories, but they haven't been
Speaker 1: able to string together a lot of performances where you're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this team has turned the corner. Just most recently, they
Speaker 1: pounded the Patriots at home, pounded them, got after Tom
Speaker 1: Brady ran the Rock and won a big game. The
Speaker 1: following week, they went to Indianapolis and they had handed
Speaker 1: to them. Yeah, you know, it's a young team, you know,
Speaker 1: and sometimes you see that young coach, young team, you
Speaker 1: might see some inconsistencies, you know. But but I know
Speaker 1: one thing I know today, you know Rabel used to
Speaker 1: coach for the Texas Division game. You're gonna see Tennessee's
Speaker 1: best shot today. You see Marcus Mariota at his best.
Speaker 1: You're gonna see Travis is Henriette his best. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be a good game, and I think it's a great
Speaker 1: one to watch it for the Jets. You're you got
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills flash but flashbacks, I think you said, Travis, Henry, Derek,
Speaker 1: and they also have Dion Lewis there and Dean Lewis
Speaker 1: has become the number one back. But the Titans that said,
Speaker 1: we have to get Henry the ball more. Can the
Speaker 1: Jets defense take anything out of plane? Mitch Rubinsky a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago in terms of those r p
Speaker 1: o s, because on Sunday in Nashville, you're facing a
Speaker 1: guy and Marcus Mariota who's still probably not all there
Speaker 1: is a passer, but he can beat you with his feet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this this is a game where all weeks has got
Speaker 1: to be emphasized. Everybody has to be disciplined, looking at
Speaker 1: your keys, carrying out your assignment, because if one player
Speaker 1: gets that is and pokes his head inside and lets
Speaker 1: Mariot the break contain, it's gonna make the team pay.
Speaker 1: So everyone has to be focused on the details this week,
Speaker 1: on on the defensive side of the ball, carry out
Speaker 1: your assignment. That has to be the emphasis for the
Speaker 1: rest of the year. No one do your job, and
Speaker 1: that really gives us a chance to win. All right,
Speaker 1: we got about forty seconds last left or so offensively.
Speaker 1: You want to see more commitment to the run from
Speaker 1: this team, especially as they go to ten and see
Speaker 1: a Titans team who is excelled defensively. They're not giving
Speaker 1: up a lot of points. That's okay. You know, I
Speaker 1: have confidence in the offensive line. I mean, you go
Speaker 1: back and look at what they did to Denver. This
Speaker 1: team can run the football when they commit to running
Speaker 1: the ball, and I think that's the key to the
Speaker 1: success of the offense. You know, running the football, making
Speaker 1: things easier for your quarterback. And that's gonna enable them
Speaker 1: to put some points on the board, because they're gonna
Speaker 1: to do that if they want to lit some games. Okay.
