AFC Offensive Player of the Week, Bart, see, 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:25.360 now you can't shave the beard because now I was lucky. 0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:28.920 Have you? How many honors did you get from the 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:32.920 league as far as AFLFC Defensive Player of the Weeks? 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:35.560 Did you ever get one? I'm sure me, I'm sure 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:37.640 I did. I just never. I don't. I don't track 0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:40.800 stuff like that. That stuff never like I never cared 0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:43.920 about stuff like that. All right, So the Jets this 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:47.919 week going to Kansas City, how much with an environment 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:52.080 in Buffalo that they faced on Thursday Night football help 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.120 them in week three? Because guys, to a man like 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:58.440 Brandon Marshall, Nick Mangold, I was talking to Brian Winners 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.280 about it. I said it was in the loudest environments 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.120 they've ever done it. Well there arguably going to the 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:09.119 loudest stadium in the in the NFL. Arrowhead talk about 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.120 the outdoor stadium that has indoor stadium noise. I think 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:15.200 they tracked this. That's the loudest stateium in the NFL. 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:19.280 A lot of people give credit to to Seattle Arrowheads 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:21.040 the loudest place to play in the NFL. Did you 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.000 like playing in there as a visitor? It was crazy, 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.080 as you know, as unique because they still have a band. 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.440 They have a live band playing under there, and uh, 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.240 you know they get they get excited about about their sports. 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:35.080 That that is a tremendous It's almost like a college atmosphere. 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.160 And I know we said that about Buffalo, but you 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:39.080 know this is a larger stadium as well, and the 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.480 construction of it, it seems like they're right on top 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.560 of you. I'm jealous of you guys though, because you've 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.319 got a chance to play in the field. I'm in 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:49.520 the press box, which is a separate structure, man, And 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:54.040 that's the closest that's the closest to having our I'll 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.360 ever be. It's way up there in the sky that sture. Man. 0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.320 You should mix it, miss anything. I'll tell you what 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.160 the night before what you wanna do? You want to 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:02.840 go down there. You want to find you a nice 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.800 dry rub barbecue spot. You want to enjoy yourself. Make 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.000 sure you don't eat too much because it's instant nap 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.600 after you eat some of that good barbecue spots in 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.040 Kansas City. You know what, I can't I just left 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.760 there because I did a financial literacy program for the 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:19.200 University of Kansas UM. But I can't remember the name 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:21.240 of the place. It's a lot of places you can 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:23.280 go to, so many holes in the walls there. Man, 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:25.960 it don't matter what's your favorite Kansas City barbecue, though, 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:27.720 what do you order? It's weird, man. I like the 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:32.040 dry rub, I like the I like the the pork shoulder, 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.639 the pork tips. You know. They it's like, man, they 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.560 slow roast that stuff. Man, they smoked that stuff for 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.040 like seemed like days. You know, most people they're going, 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.880 they're smoking in the restaurant. They're smoking the inside of 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:48.680 a a machine, a smoker that looks like a grill, 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.320 but it's not really. They got these outside. They got 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:55.200 these outside the old barrel drum. Somebody cut a canister 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.280 open and half put two hinges on the back and 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:01.079 they smoked that thing about fourteen hours. For those Okay, 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.320 Saturday night, I'm definitely gonna get some barbecue and I'll 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:07.040 tell you about it next week. You've faced Andy Reid 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:11.680 offenses before, Andy Reid let offenses before. What are the 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.239 Jets have in store for them this week? Well, they're 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:15.919 gonna have to be physical. They're gonna have to find 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.560 a way to match up with Travis Kelsey. He's a 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.640 matchup nightmare. This will be the first time where the 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.239 heavy lifting is going to be on the safeties in 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.520 the passing game. You know, before we were talking about 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.440 all these receivers and outside threats, you know, a j 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.760 green Um. Last week we were talking we're talking about 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.800 Sammy Watkins. This week we're talking about Travis Kelsey. They 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.000 do a great job and moving them around. So it's 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.880 tough because they'll be able to identify whether this man 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.080 or zone because they sent him in motion and if 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.400 somebody goes with them, then they know it's man to man. 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.320 And Alex Smith is gonna look for him. You know, 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.520 he's one of these guys that are able to take 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.560 a short pass and and and go long distances. He's 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.800 an athletic tight end. He doesn't want to get involved 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.720 in the path in the in the run game. You know, 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:59.600 unless he's matched up against uh A safety, he'll he'll 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:01.760 he'll in space out there, but he doesn't want to 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.600 come to the box and have anything to deal with 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:05.920 any d n s or outside linebackers. So do you 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:10.040 think the Jets and evitably gonna be in situations where 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.400 they'll be doubling him, or you play more zone. I 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.880 would bracket him, bracket him, but you know what, you know, 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:19.120 you you can't sleep on macklin Man. He's sneaky fast 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.479 and he's he's a big play receiver, and so you're 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.160 gonna have to switch up your your your matchups. Um, 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:26.920 you're gonna have to make sure that you you know, 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.640 disguise your coverages and mix them up. You can't get 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.960 into a rhythm. Andy Reid is a West Coast Traditionally 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.880 West Coast offense mean that a lot of horozontal things, 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.560 a lot of routes coming to Alex Smith's face. But 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.160 what happens that you're gonna have to make a one 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:44.000 dimensional because Sharkndrick West and Spencer wear has filled in, 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:48.039 you know, great for he might be back this week. Yeah, 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:49.840 so you know that's a three headed monster. So if 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:51.800 they want to take the out of the game, the 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.000 the you know, the air out of the time out 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.279 of game and time possession and slow the game down 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.600 and limit the possessions, they may get a heavy dose. 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.600 So the three headed monster. You much in time of possession? 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.240 How much do you put into a stat like that, 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.440 because I believe the Jets so far early in the 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:11.080 season or averaging thirty seven minutes or so with the 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:14.360 ball with time time possession is important because if it 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.600 freshens your defense up. But also what's important is you 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.920 got to have time of possession and you have to 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.200 get touchdowns not field goals because you gotta have time 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.800 of possession. Had a ball for eight minutes and kick 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.719 a field goal, somebody come down to score play like 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.039 last week, you know they had with the long with 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:33.760 the long play, um good. You know that can nullify 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.279 a long drive that didn't end, you know, with a 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.080 touchdown hitting pay dirt. You talked about Kelsey, You talked 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.760 about Macklin the Jets so far, Todd Bowls has talked 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.200 about it. He thinks there's spend, miscommunications in the secondary 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.000 and a couple of coverage bus A lot of folks 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.680 at home are concerned right now and say, hey, the 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.560 secondary is giving up five plays of forty plus yards 0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:00.440 in two weeks, how will this change? Well, in until 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.240 you fix it is gonna continue to happen, and teams 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.120 are can continue to design routes to make You have 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.039 to communicate post snap, you know, which is which is 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:10.160 hard because you know you have to be on the 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.599 same wave link and you have to discuss this stuff 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:14.400 during the week, and you have to be put in 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.320 the worst case scenario to be able to communicate on 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:21.080 the fly. And what's important is non verbal communication hand flashes, 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:22.640 because you're not gonna be able to hear everything. But 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:24.720 you know, a lot of times teams are putting guys 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:28.800 and and cut splits, meaning that all four the the 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.360 secondary has to communicate and not just one half. Usually 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.240 when teams are spread out, you know, it's safety talking 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.279 to a corner, But when they're going to cut splits 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.880 and they're crossing people, which you know Alex Smith and 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.479 the horizontal passing game of the Kansas City Chiefs like 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.600 to do. You're gonna have to discuss these routes during 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.599 the week, and you're gonna have to discuss these routes 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.200 as you see the game plan as it develops in 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:51.400 front of you eyes. You're gonna have to be able 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:55.240 to make in game adjustments. How much do they challenge 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.960 you or put stress on you by what they do 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.919 pre snap? Because I don't see Snetti was one of 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:04.200 those teams where the guys said, hey, listen, they throw 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.200 a lot of different stuff at you. How about and 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:09.480 he read any any read, he he'll shift change formation, 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:13.400 he'll shift her motion. Um, you know he he he 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.920 has a lot of familiarity. You know, with these type 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.280 of defenses, you know, aggressive defenses, You're gonna get a 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.360 lot of quick screens. Remember when he was in Philadelphia, 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.520 You got a lot of screens because they know that 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.760 they can't block, you know, this front of the Jets 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.480 man on man, So instead of leaving the running back in, 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:29.840 they're gonna release him and force you know, somebody to 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.520 make a tackle in space. With that being said, Darren 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:35.400 Lye uh rookie linebackers getting his feet what in the 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:39.040 National Football League tied for the team lead with twelve tackles. 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.200 He got in and on that fourth down stop the 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:45.560 Sheeney McCoy on that tackle with the Sheldon Richardson, if 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.360 you'll like what you've seen so far unlimited action. Yeah, 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.640 right now he's playing, he's playing with instincts. They're putting 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:53.200 him in in situations where he can flourish. You know, 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.320 you don't want to put too much on young player's play. 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.080 You want to develop him so when you get to 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.760 the playoffs, you know, you get down later in the year, 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.240 you he has more experience because he's gonna have his 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.160 ups and downs. He's going to have bad eyes on 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.000 certain things. And the reason veterans are veterans not because 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.400 they don't make mistakes, because they've made every mistake and 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.040 they've learned from him. And you know, he's had success 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.240 here and it's it's important for him to remain humble, 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:18.080 make sure that he continues to work, make sure that 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.440 he leans on the guys in that room so that 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:22.800 he can, you know, learn from other people's mistakes so 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:24.920 he doesn't have to make his many mistakes on the field. 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.880 Let's make those mistakes and practice. Let's make those mistakes 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:29.920 and warm ups and let's get them corrected. What does 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.680 this mean to you when Todd Bowl says he has 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:37.719 to learn to pull the trigger quicker where right now 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:43.120 mentally is making some mistakes physically, study's give him fine 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.120 effort and he's playing fast and not playing fast, but 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:50.720 you're playing with speed and athleticism where maybe he's early 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.439 in his career right now, and you can see it 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.080 as a coach, he's playing, he's playing on instincts and 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.920 right now he's not. The game hasn't slowed down for 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.000 it yet, and sometimes it takes years for the game 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.200 and to slow down for players, and sometimes you know 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:03.959 you want to. You see something, you pull the trigger. 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.640 But you've got to understand the concept that we're teaching. 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.600 If your backside, you have to stay backside, you have 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.240 to stay patient, you have to show patients. And that's 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.200 that's tough because you want to go a hundred miles 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.479 an hour. But just like we talked about Matt Forte 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:19.040 having patients to the whole speed through it. When you 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.319 see it, you pull the trigger. This has to be instant, 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.520 but you have to make sure that your patient until 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.640 it's time to pull the trigger. You know, it's just 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:27.640 like young running backs as fast and you see him 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.040 running up the backs of their offensive lineman and they're 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.320 not letting the play developed well. On the same side 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.520 as a linebacker, the play has to develop and it 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:36.599 has to define themselves. If you just take off and 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.960 somebody cuts back, they're reading you as well. Just like 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.640 we talked about Matt Forte, you're setting up that block, 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:43.360 setting up the linebacker. He's seen him there and he 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.240 pressed the hole to make him step up. When he 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:47.360 stepped up, he cut back. Well, a lot of the 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.080 running backs are gonna do the same thing to him. 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:52.160 They're reading him. He's their key, he's their indicator. And 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:55.319 what happens is he has to understand the decent the defense, 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.040 understand where they're weak and where they're strong, and where 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.400 he can pull the trigger because he's covered up, and 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:03.000 when he can take chances when he can't take calculated chances. 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.000 You love the match up on the other side of 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.800 the Paul, You've been talking about it with me since 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:11.720 last week. Center Nick Mangold for the Jets against Don 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:16.240 Tari Pope. What it's like sumo wrestling right here? Man? 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.160 What makes this guy stand out here? Well, first of all, 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.200 he ran like a four or five coming out. He's 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.280 very athletic. He's short, just like well Mangoes not short, 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.440 but you know, they're both about the same height. You know, 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.040 they're both about the same size. You know, Post probably 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.040 a little heavy. I think he's like three forty. He 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:32.480 has a lot of will you talk about a guy 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.280 a couple of years ago that had ten sacks from 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.920 the nose guard position, But then you're talking about you know, 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.920 arguably I believe right now, borderline Hall of Fame player 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.480 and Nick Mango, you know who just he has a 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.760 knack for being able to neutralize to other teams. You know, 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.280 good nose guard, a great nose guard because of his 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:53.240 hand placement, his his his his football acumen, his ability 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.760 to anchor, and his ability to outsmart the opponent. You know, 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.880 he's just smart. Man Like I just enjoy the matchup 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.400 between him and Chris Jenkins because it was like two bulls, 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:04.720 you know, going aufter each other, and man go won 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.079 his fair share, you know, you know, because he was 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.120 able to position himself and our quick quick um Jenkins 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.480 in certain instances. But I watched him do it against 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.520 the Lodi. You know, he's just one of those guys 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:16.760 that you know, you can always count on him doing 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.199 his job at a high level. Now, Andy Reid, said 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:23.040 Pope last week, Um had one of his best games 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.160 in years in Houston, so he shouldn't be coming into 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.640 this game with some confidence the Jets catch a break here. 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:33.760 Justin Houston is still one of the top pass rushers 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:37.280 in the National Football League, but Tom Balle still a 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.040 solid player on the outside as well. When you think 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.559 about Tom Bali, I want you to think about where 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.800 Demarcuts wearing his career. His better days are behind him, 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:47.719 but you know him at eight percent of what it 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.080 used to be is still better than what most guys do. 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.840 You know, his his his career numbers against the run. 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.480 You know, he's he's great against the run, and he's great, 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:57.680 he has a knack for winning. And it'll just to be, 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.839 you know, a tremendous matchup because Claydie and Ali know 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.280 each other very well for the matchups in the a 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.720 f C West, you know, so this should be exciting 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.160 to see that these guys prayer up because what happens 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.720 is when you know somebody you know their Tennessee's. You know, 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.160 it's all about who can make the best counters. But 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.640 on the other side, they got d Ford, who who 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:18.960 was the number one draft pick from Urburn. You know, 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.200 years ago and he's starting to mature and coming to 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.720 us own. He's playing fast as well, you know. So 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:27.160 it's gonna be uh evenly matched matchup. It's gonna be 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:30.000 who's able to make, you know, the better place, the 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:33.920 more efficient plays in in the in the game you 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:35.720 played for Bob Sutton. It is this more of a 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.440 traditional three four. But we just talked about Pulpis that 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.719 no stackle in there? Or Bob is aggressive? Yeah, I 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:44.800 think a little bit of Rex rubbed off on Bob 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:48.440 before he was more of the three four of the 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:50.920 New England Pagers where it's more read and react, more 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.679 gap control. But I think Rex showed him that it 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.440 was another way to do it. And he's very active. 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.880 You know. These guys move all over the place. You know, 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.200 they blitch, you know, but they also have, you know, 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.679 a great matchup and noon Wall could be matched up 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:07.679 with Barry, or he could be matched up with UH 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:11.040 with Ron Parker, who's a former corner who plays safety 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.120 for them, that does a lot of the pass coverage 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.959 and when they go into their when they go into 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.640 their dying package, Barry actually drops in into the box 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.520 and play the position that I used to play. Where 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.640 do you anticipate, uh, Marcus Peters plan. So when they 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.440 move him around, when they try to match him with 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.480 one barter or well, he's a physical guy. You know. 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.439 You talk about a guy last year that had you know, 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.360 led the League of interception to last week against Houston, 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.719 he gave up some place. But he's a playmaker. He's 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:38.600 a playmaker Johnny on the spot and he knows when 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.040 he gets the ball in his hands, you know he 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.960 can do damage. He takes the ball to pay dirt. Um, 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.600 he's a physical guy. So I don't think that you know, 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:47.880 it would be the same as it was last week 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.920 against Darby and Gilmore because he's a he's a bigger kid, 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:52.720 you know what I mean. So he can put heavy 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.080 hands on and he won't be as easy to move 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:58.480 and push off against, you know, in the passing game. Um, 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:00.840 but you know they're gonna have to sure that you know, 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.319 they're able to attack him as well, because he does 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.600 give up big plays. And you know, you got two 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.640 of the most craftiest veterans in the game and and 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.200 Marshall and Decker, and they'll find a way. You know, 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:14.120 if he's getting heavy hands on and he's matching up. 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.360 Then watch them to move his man into the slot 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.000 so that they can get a clean release. How concerned 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.240 were you for Brandon Marshall when you see him go 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.960 down against the Buffalo Bills. Uh, I don't think it 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.520 was a dirty player which is trying to reach out 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:29.440 and try to make a tackle brought him down. Everybody's 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.320 getting punched in the face, but chet's nation health. It's 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:36.240 collective breath. When they see the number fifteen to the tunnel. Well, 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.800 well I don't. I never get concerned when I see 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:42.680 a guy get twisted up. But it's a contact issue 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:46.560 because you rarely tell your a c L by being contacted. 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:48.800 Usually when you tell your a c L, it's a 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.720 non contact you know issue. When you see somebody walk 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:53.840 off the field and nobody touched him, you know it's 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.760 one either Achilles or the a c L. You get 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:58.840 nervous when you see those type of things, like Brandon 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:00.440 marsh you worried about them and they skis or the 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:02.920 m c L. So once I saw that he was 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.000 able to get up and he walked off and he 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:06.840 went to the back, I knew that he would be fine. 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.000 Just you know a matter of time if you didn't 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:10.760 come back for that game. I knew he wasn't done 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.640 for the year. You were always a guy who h 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.240 was fun in the locker room when you decided to 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:20.240 give the media the juice per se and and Brandon 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:24.240 is a guy who you know, he's eloquent, He's an 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:28.480 eloquent speaker, He's a very thoughtful introspective. This week he 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.560 was kind of fun though he said that U uh, 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:35.200 I gotta watch out for myself because Quincy is sneaking up. 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.840 You never know when a guy is gonna take your spot. 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:41.160 As far as hey, listen, if I missed the game here, 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.200 you never know found me. Because well, well I think 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.600 that's a compliment to the work that a noon I 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.280 was put in. You know, I think, you know, he's 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:51.040 one of his biggest cheerleaders saying that, you know, he 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:53.560 you know, has made the biggest lead from one you know, 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:55.640 from one year to the next. And the fact that 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.800 I think that Brandon Marshall a larger, more physical receiver. 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.800 He can he can watching momic to his preparation and 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.160 how he runs routes, and he can pick his ear. 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.680 You know, I think as a as a veteran leader 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:10.080 and an elite player, is your responsibility to make other 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.240 players around you better. That's always a sign of a 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.160 great leader, of a great player. And I think he's 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:16.960 raised his level and you got I think you have 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.320 to get some credit to Decker as well because he's 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.040 performed at a high level. He's a larger receiver. You know, 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:23.800 you think the Jets, We think about the Jets. You 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.680 think about the largest receiving corps in the game. Before 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:30.360 people were thinking about a Noon why as a tight end, 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.160 you know, and Chan has had this before when he 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:38.320 had m Reggie Nelson. Yeah, David Nelson, I'm sorry in Buffalo, 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:42.360 but he didn't have the physical tools, the pure brute 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.240 force and mass that a noon one has. And he's 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:47.280 going to be a matchup problem going against you know, 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:49.640 Nichols in the slot if they decided to go that way, 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.040 or if they're matching up with him with their third corner, 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:55.120 because he's a big person, so like he can just 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.880 box and shield these guys out. And right now with 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.480 Fitzpatrick and his ability to throw the back show their faith. 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:04.560 You can't be right. What stands out to you about 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.119 the league so fast for two weeks? Well, you know 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:10.920 what I've been surprised that, you know, the kicking game 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:14.200 hasn't you know, usually the kicking game rears his ugly 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:16.440 head as far as block punts and things like that, 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:20.919 right long returns. That really hasn't been the you know, 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.960 the case so far. Um But right now I think, 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:25.880 you know, the cream has a rise to the top. 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.320 You know, everybody hasn't settled in. I think it's gonna 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.080 be some teams that kind of come back to earth. 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.720 I think this week when Philadelphia goes back, they love 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.280 went He's going into Pittsburgh. I think they're gonna get 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.360 a real sense of really who it is because let's 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:39.520 be facing He's faced to JV the first two weeks. 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:41.520 If you're a rookie quarterback coming in the league, you 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:43.760 would love to go against these two teams. You'll love 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:45.679 to go against Cleveland. You would love to go against 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.359 you know, the up and down Jake Cutler, you know 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.480 Chicago Bears, and you know, you know two defense that 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:56.080 pretty much played traditional coverages, traditional defenses and not really 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:58.919 have the personnelity to really you know, put pressure on 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.680 the offense. You just once there's a lot of rookie 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:05.199 quarterbacks playing right now, you got Dak, Prescott and Dallas, 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.440 so I think it's hand on himself pretty well. All 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.359 these guys. You know, it's funny because him and Brussette, 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:13.280 you know, or you know, I do a financial literacy 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:16.199 program with Morgan Stanley, So I've worked with these guys 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:18.840 and they've hurt my spill for like the last three 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.119 uh two times, you know what I mean. Uh when 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:23.840 I wasn't allowed to go to New England, but when 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:27.399
