15
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: is you made a wager before the year started with

16
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: ESPN personality and former New York Giant Chris Kenny book

17
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: Come On, cars were on the line. Bart Scott said

18
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: the Jets would win five games and four more. I

19
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: didn't know. Come on, I didn't just happen at five, man,

20
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: I'll be hating. So five games in two thousand seventeen,

21
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: while the Jets just beat the Chiefs. So the Jets

22
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: have You've won the You've won the butt, and the

23
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: bet was a Ferrari versus a Bentley, correctly. So what's

24
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: happening now is Chris Canny owning up on the bet? Well,

25
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: you know what. A couple of weeks ago, me and

26
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: Chris share the same age, and it was his birthday.

27
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: I left it up to the fans, and the fans

28
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: thought I should show mercy, and I gave him a

29
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,279
Speaker 1: buyout package for sixty grand, forty cash and twenty thousand

30
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: for my charity. You know, so it's Christmas time, so

31
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna use that my need to get back. I

32
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: didn't know if I had enough time to sell a

33
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: Bentley or put it on Craigslist or anything like that

34
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: or eBay. So Chris Canny still has the bent Line,

35
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: he still has to Bailey, he still has to Bailey.

36
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: But I got sixty thousand, so parts Scott puts the

37
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: merciful part, Scott, the merciful part. Scott puts forty thou

38
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: in his pocket and twenty thousand the charity following on

39
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: the budget, man, you just let me know, if you

40
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: can get a hall pass, man, we go out on

41
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: this town and tad up. Oh yeah, I definitely get

42
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: a hall pass. I want to go out with you

43
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: and spend some of that fort K. Bottom line is

44
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: what did you see from the Jets in the summer

45
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 1: to make your prediction and eventually your dream or your

46
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: um desirable outcome came true. Well, I'll tell you what

47
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: I've been in this situation before. And you know, I

48
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: was a member of the Baltimore Ravens in two thousand

49
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: two after they lost you know, Rod Woodson, Shannon Sharp,

50
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: Sarah Goose To, Sam Adams, Uh, Jamie Sharper, you know,

51
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: Dwayne Starts, you know all the you know the great players.

52
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: And I know sometimes you can unders made young talent

53
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: because you don't know who they are. Um, but every

54
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: athlete that's in the NFL is here because they're bet

55
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: They bet on their selves and they used that as motivation.

56
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: And I knew that team would come in and underestimate

57
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: them and they would play above you know, their weight,

58
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 1: and they're punching above their weight and it's because they're

59
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: they're getting chemistry. And what happens is where you don't

60
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: have the Royal reevers where you don't have a David Harris.

61
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: When you don't have a Nick Man, what happens is

62
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: now it's on everybody and you don't depend Sometimes we

63
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: depend too much on our superstars. And what happens is

64
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: when it is no superstars or superstars that are in

65
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: the making, then everybody, you know, carries their fair share

66
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: of weight and they don't lean and wait for, you know,

67
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: for somebody to make a play, because they know everybody

68
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: has to make a play. Nobody talks about it yesterday

69
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: in the winning locker room, and I didn't hear it

70
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: from many Jets fans, but the Jets equal their win

71
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: total from a year ago. You just mentioned a number

72
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: of players who were on the New York Jets in

73
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: two thousand and sixteen. The Jets won't five and eleven

74
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: last year. Right now, they're sitting at five and seven,

75
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: uh four games to go. Nothing to celebrate. If you

76
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: asked Todd Balls and the players in the locker room

77
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: man here in a few moments will be joined by

78
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: defensive lineman Xavier Cooper and also wide receiver slash kick

79
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: returner Joe Joe natson Um. If you ask anybody love

80
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: named like Joejoe, that's that's sweet. That rolls off the tongue. Man.

81
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: All right, So we're gonna talk to Joe in a

82
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: few moments. But the guys in the locker room will

83
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: tell you we should be sitting here about seven to

84
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: five or eight and four. Think about the games against

85
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: Miami when you need a fourteen point lead in the

86
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, or Atlanta when you had a lead at home,

87
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: or Carolina when you had a lead at home. So

88
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: the Jets are just a couple of plays away from

89
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: being in a good spot as far as playoff contention

90
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: is concerned. Well, you know it's called it's called a

91
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: growth cycle. And um, you know they've they've learned from

92
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: their mistakes and yesterday was proof of that. And that's

93
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: what you wanna do. You want to be able to

94
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: get that experience. I tell people that veterans are veterans

95
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: not because they've never made mistakes, is because they made

96
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: those mistakes and they've learned from them. It's not a

97
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: sin to make a mistake, it's a sin to make

98
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: the same mistake and not learn from other people on

99
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: on your on your squad making mistakes. What happens is

100
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: you get that experience and some of these guys, you know,

101
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: they want to be part of the future. You're going forward.

102
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: Next year is gonna be shake up. They're gonna bring

103
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: in more players. So what happens is now you're gonna have,

104
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: you know, tremendous depth because the young guys that maybe

105
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: started this year, everybody may not start next year. But

106
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: what happens is now you have confidence and a guy

107
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: when you gotta call somebody's number, because you've seen them

108
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: do it before and they've been in those situations inside

109
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: the chests is presented by e Y building a better

110
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: working world. While that was an entertaining ballgame at less

111
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: MetLife Stadium started off bad though. I was nervous well

112
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: before most people sat down and had their cold beverage

113
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: and maybe a popcorn or two. It was fourteen nothing Chiefs,

114
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: but I was heating on my wings. Man, it was

115
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,559
Speaker 1: fourteen nothing. I was like, what happened? Boom boom boom?

116
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: That t bows the hell of a thing. Man had

117
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: to go to tebow. See what happened? Man? Yeah, but

118
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, but the Jets did not panicked that. I

119
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: like what I saw from them. They absorbed a punch

120
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: and then they countered europe boxing fan And that's exactly

121
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: what the Jets did. They actually took a lead and

122
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: a halftime a seventeen you know, to to quote the

123
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: great Rocky Bell Bowl, it ain't about hag you hit,

124
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: It's about how hard you can get hit and keep

125
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: moving forward. That done. Hey, what do you think about

126
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: the offensive balance against the Chiefs? Nearly five hundred yards

127
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: a total offense for this team and forty nine rush attempts,

128
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: So the Jets dominated time of possession and they did

129
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: a great job up front, specifically on a guy like

130
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: Justin Houston, a guy who's been rushing the passer at

131
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: an elite level for many years in the National Football League. Well, absolutely,

132
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: I mean you talk about I mean, did they run

133
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: a thousand plays? It seems like they read a thousand

134
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: play I know what they and twelve from like the

135
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: one inch line, you know what I mean? Yeah, that

136
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: last drive, well it just talks about that just speaks

137
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: to h Josh and and and the offense ability to

138
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: convert third downs you I mean you talk about on

139
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: third down they were thirteen Absolutely, so whenever you're above

140
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: forty five fifty percent. You know, you're gonna be You're

141
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: gonna be efficient, and you're going to continue to keep

142
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: the change moving. And if you don't score point, you're

143
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: gonna flip the field and make them have to go um,

144
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, eighty ninety seventy yards and that's always a

145
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: good thing. So I was very proud of how they battled.

146
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: They battled, they fought, and they grind and winning in

147
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: this league is never easy, and and and they just

148
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, they just kept pulling the rope. What do

149
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: you think about Josh mccount. Now, he's got five touchdowns

150
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: on the ground this season. That of the Jets eleven

151
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: rush touchdowns, but he had like a fifteen. He had

152
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: at least five quarterbacks sneaks. You know absolutely, I'll tell

153
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: you what. You know, he's still in pretty good shape.

154
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: You know, I wouldn't make a living of diving forward,

155
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, because God's defenders. As a defender, whenever I

156
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: see a quarterback, you know, do the quarterback sneak? I know,

157
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: his head is his his head is eligible and guys

158
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: that takes shots at the head. But you know, you know,

159
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: he has one of the best heads of hair in

160
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: the game. You know what I mean. So the blind bomber,

161
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, got that nice thick coat. You know, he

162
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: protects him from all good concussions and stuff like that.

163
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: What do you think about the way McCown it's so

164
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: adept in the pocket he feels the rush and sometimes

165
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: he'll talk it if it's third time and he sees

166
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: a lot of green and from in front of him,

167
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: he'll pick up eleven. But the thing that I've been

168
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: so impressed with is that he slides and he finds

169
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: himself space and finds himself throwing lengths. Well, when you

170
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: think about young quarterbacks, the first thing they do when

171
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: they feel the precious they retreat, which is the worst

172
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: thing to do. It's it's kind of like being in

173
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: the eye of the of the hurricane. It's safe in

174
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: the center. So you know, great veteran quarterbacks understand they

175
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: need to step up and step left and right. You know,

176
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: you don't want to retreat because what happens is, you know,

177
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: they continue to come. When you retreat back, what you're

178
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: not in a position to see the field and also

179
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: to deliver the ball. And a lot of young guys

180
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: look down, don't that they see the rush you have

181
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,599
Speaker 1: to fill the Russian. You know, give some credit to

182
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: this offensive line. I think they've started to get a

183
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: lot of chemistry together, and they've been healthy for the

184
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: most part, and guys have come in and filled in

185
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: when guys went down abably, and you know, you have

186
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: to tip your hat to them because they provided him

187
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: the opportunity. Josh mcconnor is a veteran quarterback. Whenever he

188
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: reads man and man coverage, he understands that everybody's back.

189
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: If he beats the wave of the of the defensive line,

190
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: he understands that everybody's back his turn and he can

191
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: get those yards. And that's what I talked about when

192
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: I mentioned that he was a professional quarterback. Early in

193
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: the year, when everybody was saying, hey, maybe they should,

194
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: you know, evaluate the young guys. Josh McCown gives you

195
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: an opportunity to evaluate the entire football team. And everybody

196
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: is flourished and everybody is starting to develop and get better.

197
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: And talk about the chemistry between those two receivers right now,

198
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: talk about for the first time since how long you

199
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: got to go back to the t sixties when the

200
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: Jets had a pair of receivers named George Sower and

201
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: Do Maynard black and white TV. So just the first

202
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: time Jet fans have seen it in color. To two

203
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: receivers go over a hundred yards and back to back.

204
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: He could set back to back, get back to back,

205
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: back to back. All right, So what's cleaned up for me?

206
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: What I appreciate? Hey, buddy, what is the ceiling on

207
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson? Because I'm tweeting during the game and a

208
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: lot of folks are saying, you know, yeah, Robbie Anderson

209
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: and he only could be a two or three. I

210
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: don't know if we know what his ceiling is right now.

211
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: If you look at his stats over the course of

212
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: the sixteen game season, he's on pace for eleven hundred yards.

213
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: And it's not just eleven hundred yards. He's getting into

214
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: the end zone as well. They keep following. I don't

215
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: understand how teams keep falling for the banana and tailpipe.

216
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: Dude is fast. I know he looks like with Khalifila,

217
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, he's dangly and doesn't look fast.

218
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: But listen, get back. I don't understand why, guys. You know,

219
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: that's guy's own pride thinking though he can't be that fast,

220
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: and they're looking at tape until they see it in

221
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: real life. And he gets on top of you, and

222
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: he's making great plays, and he's learning how to high

223
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: point the ball, and he's starting to to really eliminate

224
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: those drops that he had earlier in the career. And

225
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: he's learning to run the route tree, the entire route tree,

226
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: so guys can't fall off. He's starting to ask some

227
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: more routes to his repertoire, and I think Curse has

228
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: been a tremendous asset for him as he's doing all

229
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: the grimy work. I have some fan duel fantasy analysis

230
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: for you, brought to you by FanDuel. Have all the

231
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,599
Speaker 1: fantasy that football has to offer. B Sports Rich. You

232
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: gotta be looking at the Jets receivers right now, fantasy

233
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: players out there, how about your main curse. Is Robbie

234
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: available in some leagues? He probably he might be at

235
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. You could get Robbie Anderson cheap.

236
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: You're getting Robbie Anderson cheap no more because these guys

237
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: are getting it done on the outside. And how about

238
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: how about McCown Because he's thrown for eight teen touchdowns,

239
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 1: he rushed for five touchdowns. I mean it's amazing. I mean,

240
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: he's having a career year and that just showed you.

241
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: You know, you never know what you're gonna get, man,

242
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: And that's why we played the game. You know, people

243
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: want to, you know, assume that they understand the narrative

244
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: and and and put people in the boxes. And he's

245
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: breaking out of a box. He's shattering that box all right. Inside.

246
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: The Jets is supported by Selective Insurance. A responses everything,

00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: mood like on the sideline? I think you know, I

00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: expected the same mood if you was up fourteen, you know, Um,

275
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: I think guys were staying together and guys knew it's

276
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: a long game. A lot of players be made, and

277
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: you know, we came back and you know, handled our

278
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: business and we got to win. Xavier, Uh, I want

279
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: to talk about while we have both of you guys

280
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: up here right now. Your path to the New York Jets.

281
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: You played at Washington State University. Then you were a

282
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: third round pick of the Cleveland Browns in two thousand

283
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: and fifteen. Can you tell us about your time in Cleveland?

284
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: Might you want to make this man we live a nightmare?

285
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: Come on, Cooper talk. My path was unique. You know,

286
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: I was drafted in third round ninety six overall, played

287
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: with Cleveland for two years, and um, you know, was

288
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: on three teams this year. Started off in training camp

289
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: with the Browns, then was with San Francisco for seven games,

290
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: and then came to the Jets. So it's you know,

291
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: bart to tell you, man in this league and nothing guaranteed.

292
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: You gotta work for us an interview every day, So

293
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: I'm learning that. But what about connections, Xavier, Because in

294
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: Cleveland you had a defensive line coach, right and Robert

295
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: Nunn who got to know you awfully well, and I'm

296
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: sure he had a hand in bringing you here to

297
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: the Jets. Yeah, coach was there last year. We're a

298
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: super young group. Uh, none is a technician, So every

299
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: day you gotta work your craft and get better at

300
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: your craft and you know, I like working with him

301
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: because you know, he helps me be a better D lineman.

302
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: And of course I played with Josh too, uh with

303
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: the Browns two. So you know, I'm happy Josh is

304
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: getting all his success. And we'll get to that in

305
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: a second. Joe, Joe Natsen, you played the Utah State.

306
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: You transferred to Akron undrafted. Oh that's what's up? Yeah,

352
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: of guys that are under six feet. You talk about

353
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: Dante Hall, you know who who are some of the

354
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: smaller guys that you looked up to? It as you

00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: were trying to say, Hey, I'm gonna there to be great,

Speaker 1: Frods was like one of my you know, the biggest

359
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: you know, says that I looked up to, you know,

360
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: being saying Hi, I mean he's a little thicker, but

361
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: you know he kind of like paid the way from

362
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: them showing that I can do it. Then, you know,

363
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: I just start with my dream. You know, I've always

364
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: been against all the odds, so I just you know,

365
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: I just you know, got motivation from you know, those people,

366
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: the saying I can't do it. So I just kept

367
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 1: I kept going. Eric Allen here with part Scott and Joe,

368
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: Joe Natsen and Xavier Cooper. Xavier, what's it been like

369
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: inside that the funtal line room? You coming in after

370
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: being with the forty niners. You gotta acclimate to the

371
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: new surroundings, pick up a new system and then hit

372
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: the ground running. Yeah. Well the system uh that we're

373
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: playing it now, the defense that we're in now, it's

374
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: kind of similar to what I played in last year.

375
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: Um with Ray Horton, he was a d C for

376
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: EST last year and none. You know, it's the same

377
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: cause you know, usually Barton knows. You know, a lot

378
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: of this stuff is carried over from team the team.

379
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: It's a copycat league, as you know, so you know

380
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: it was it was pretty good. Um uh, you know,

381
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: getting in there and learning the guys, learning how the

382
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: guys operate. But it was an easy transition for me.

383
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: Everybody's super humble, you know, cool to tough to them.

384
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: So I think that's a tough thing coming in just

385
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: mid season basically what both both of you guys have done,

386
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,479
Speaker 1: because not only are you picking off packing moving saying okay,

387
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: I got a new working environment, but you have to

388
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: Both of you guys are in positions where you have

389
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: to prove it on the practice field because if you

390
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: come in and you don't prove it on the practice field,

391
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: you're not getting playing time or you're not here and

392
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: you're looking for a new address. And it's tough. You

393
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: just tough because you have to earn the trust of

394
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: your coaching staff and teammates. But you have limited opportunities.

395
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: A lot of times when your backup, you know, you're

396
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: you're running the scout team. You know play, so you

397
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: know you you have very few opportunities to run the

398
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: offensive prove that you you know, absorbed the offense. So

399
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I commend both of these guys. It's tough

400
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: coming in. And you know, that's what people don't understand

401
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: when they talk about you know, they say, hey, we

402
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: are millionaires and your life is easy, but you'll talk

403
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: about moving from San Francisco to New York. I don't

404
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: think you can go any farther, you know, and picking

405
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: up and leaving your belongings and living out of a hotel,

406
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: living out of a suitcase. You know, you have to

407
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: be persistent, you know, to to to stick. And it's

408
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: tough because you have to ask somebody that's willing to

409
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: stand on the table for you get your opportunities. And

410
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: that's the that's the hard part. Especially been a third

411
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: round draft pick, especially being an undrafted free agent, opportunities

412
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: are limited and far between. Exavier, you're playing at Washington State.

413
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: The head coach at the time was that Mike Leach.

414
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: Now here's the guy before you. You like, Lease never

415
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: made you sleep in the closet then you here. I

416
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: don't think that would have worked out. You would have

417
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: did that. I never Understill, there's no way this man

418
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: with Maybe you got a clause either, man, I think

419
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: I think handle explain to the listeners I'm speaking of.

420
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: When I'm talking about, I think you're talking about Mike

421
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: Leach and uh his days coaching Texas Tech. Yes, Uh,

422
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: there were some disciplinarian issues, I guess with a couple

423
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: of players, But where do he put them? Um? I

424
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: think we're gonna cross this fence. Man, we go, we

425
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: go right to the line. We're gonna go over it.

426
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna go right to the line. He put a

427
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: couple of players made him sitting in closing in the

428
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: dark room because they had concussions. And you know, since then,

429
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: he's he's changed. Don't worry. I said the same thing

430
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: that Mike Leach when he came to the to the facility.

431
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about it. If I got your back,

432
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: you know, he was was almost just signed up by

433
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: Tennessee almost. I'm happy you didn't go in to closet.

434
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: But Xavier playing for a guy like Leach at Washington State,

435
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: everybody is thinking offense, offense, offense. Did you feel like

436
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: you were getting to love there? Because the first thing

437
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: you think about it about that program is the Mad Scientists,

438
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: the pirate least Um. Yeah, I mean the amount of

439
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: revs that the offense took, you know, on a daily basis,

440
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: I thought I was playing offense, can tell you the truth.

441
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: But you know, he really never um came over to

442
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: that side. He kind of just let the d C

443
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: be the d C. But it was cool just watching

444
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: how many routes they run and how sophisticated the offense was.

445
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: So it was a good experience. And where are the

446
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: Jets working you predominantly now on that front? Um, I'm

447
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: just a reserve defensive linement for now, and I'm just

448
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: playing all multiple positions wherever they need me, you know,

449
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,719
Speaker 1: when the guys need to come out for rest, I'm

450
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: just jumping in there. You know, where do you fail?

451
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: Your natural position is? My natural position is at the

452
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: three technique being able to rush inside and penetrate inside.

453
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm just trying to, you know, find

454
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: my home here. And you know, asked was you know,

455
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: whatever they asked for me to do, I'm trying to

456
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: do it. And you know, just play hard. Bart Scott

457
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: and I do a weekly film review on Jets Flight

458
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: playing eleven thirty Sunday morning on CBS UH and he'll

459
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 1: go in to the definitions of football terms. But why

460
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: didn't you explain to folks at home watching right now

461
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: or listening on ESPN radio the three technique the three technique?

462
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: So really the three technique is shaded on the guard.

463
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: The guard is located right next to the center, and

464
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: usually the three technique gets to you know, one on

465
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: one matchup. You know his his main objective is to

466
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: control the B gap, you know, penetrate that B gap,

467
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: knocked back the B gap, you know, hold up double

468
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: teams periodically for the winebackers, so guys like Martin come

469
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: in and you know, get that money too. But yeah,

470
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: that's that's the position of the three techniques. Always always

471
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: treated my three techniques very well. Watches food, steaks, whatever

472
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: you want. I like my dude, nice and fat, whatever,

473
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: you won't you got it what you really at the

474
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: end of the year. Absolutely, yeah, I'm very rather. You know,

475
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: before these I pass came out. I know, I know

476
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: you guys, this is all you know. But we had

477
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: our courses, our curses. Was kind of like the first

478
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: iPad that Apple stole the technology from. I always make

479
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: sure they had everything they needed, man, because what happens

480
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: is it's not a glorious position. Man. Half the time

481
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: you're sitting there and sitting on double teams, and you know,

482
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: God comes like me come down. Always make sure whenever

483
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: I was a linebacker, I got downhill fast so then

484
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: they can split the double team and then I can

485
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: do my part as well. But but that's what people

486
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: liked about you when you played UH during your days

487
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: with the Jets, is this guy loved to take on

488
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: guards and if another linebacker was getting the tackle, you

489
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: were fine with that. So a good man. This is long.

490
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: As long as long as you teammates know you have

491
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: the respect from your teammates, that's all you care about.

492
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: You don't care all about all the individual accolades because

493
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, the easiest thing to get in football is stats, right,

494
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: But but to get the stats, who are willing to

495
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: screw it? You know, I can go and brush the

496
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: pass and get a million sacks, But how many yards

497
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: am I gonna get give up by getting up field

498
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: and creating a harder gap for my linebacker to have

499
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: to field. But and that's where you get the real

500
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: respect from is your peerers. Joe Joe, Joe Gez not

501
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: only are your receiver, but you are the Jets primary

502
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: return man. Right now, what is the mentality of a returner?

503
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: I mean, for me, my mentality, man, I'm just you know,

504
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to bring a spark to the team

505
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: in the best wa he's possible on you know, can't

506
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: return part returns my UH blocking unit. You know they

507
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: do a good job from me every week and you know,

508
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: just earning the coaches trust on the team. My team

509
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: made his trust. So any way possible I can make

510
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: a spark for the team, That's what I'm trying to do.

511
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 1: So you gotta be a little crazy to volunteer for

512
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: that because people don't realize, you know, I mean it's

513
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: hard to block these gunners in the league. And you

514
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: got guys that's you know, right in your face. They're

515
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: running you know, forty miles meant yards and the collisions.

516
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: You know, who who who inspired you? Who are something

517
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: to you? Who's the best returner to ever doing? I

518
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: gotta go with I gotta go with d Heston, you know.

519
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,720

522
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: you think you're close. There's been a couple of times

523
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: I've watched you after they got you down and you're

524
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: hopping to the sidelines like, oh if I just broke

525
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: that tackle, made one stuff this way, I'm to the house. Yeah,

526
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: I mean I think I'm closed. Uh, Like I said,

527
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to you know, take each week, one

528
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: week at a time, you know, just build my confidence up,

529
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: and you know, because I feel like that's all it

Speaker 1: build my confidence up and then you know that big

532
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: one that's gonna come. So my coach telling me to

533
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: be patient and you know it's gonna come. And what

534
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: about your Joe um offensively, you're getting a little bit

535
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: of working and practice as well or right now predominantly uh,

536
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: special teams right now, I mean it's predominant special teams.

537
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: But I'm getting a little work each week coach, working

538
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: in the practice. You know, I came in late. You know,

539
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: I could leaving the coach, so I wasn't kind of

Speaker 1: I want all the way caught up with the guys

541
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,120

00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: Steve mcleanden, who came over here from the Pittsburgh Steeler.

551
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 1: He's been here a number of years. I think he's

552
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: kind of an unhar old guy along that defensive line,

553
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: a good run stuffer. He's really helped this team out

554
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,159

555
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,040

558
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: I didn't know, because you know, you gotta stay a

559
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: student in this game, because this game will bring you

560
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: to your knees. Every everybody knows that that's played it.

561
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,479
Speaker 1: And so you know, I just asked Steve, you know,

562
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: different things about taking on doubles, playing different uh blocks,

563
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: going against different offensive schemes, and he's been really helpful.

564
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: He's he's got like a philosopher way about him, doesn't

565
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: he figus? Uh? He always looks at the big picture

566
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: and is able to grab hold of it and then

567
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: and then articulated in a fine way. Yeah, you know,

568
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: Stephen de Mario great leaders on the defense. You know,

569
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: like I said, I played, I played with the Mario

570
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: and Cleveland as well, and him and Steve. You know,

571
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: bring that vet saving us and guys that you know

572
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: can get you up it if you're filling down or

573
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: something's going on in your life. You know, when you

574
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: test the field with those guys, you want to bring it.

575
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm just I'm just reminded when you say tomorrow.

576
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: I'm reminded because you gotta think I got him when

577
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: he was young and he hit us with the wheelbarrow story.

578
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: You know, he's a rookie and he come in he

579
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: tells his story about getting in the wheelbarrow. We're all

580
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: looking like rookie if you don't shut the hell up

581
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,719
Speaker 1: and go get my doughnuts, man, get down out of here.

582
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's listen. I'm listen. I'm problem. I tell you,

583
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm like a problem. I'm like a proud paper man

584
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: because I've watched you know, the Mario mature and you

585
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: know we talked about at the beginning of the season.

586
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: You know, I think he struggled him and Darren with

587
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: the chemistry, you know, but I don't think I think

588
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: he's playing top five linebacker in his league since you

589
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: know Week three alright, so uh, he's Savory Cooper. Keep

590
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: up the hard work, Joe Joe. Now sin, I think

591
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: it's only a matter of time because base good things

592
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: happened the folks who visit us on inside the Jets.

593
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: So that's some fantasy advice for you. Maybe pick up

594
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: Joe Joe Nansen down the stretch. He's ready to take

595

609
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: one opportunity. And I was telling him, listen, you may

610
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: only get one opportunity. If you get to you're lucky

611
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: and to maximize those opportunities, you know, because I've been there,

612
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: and I explained to them what my first start was,

613
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: the situation, um that that that it came under. And

614
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,239
Speaker 1: you know, you would have never heard of me if

615
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: I hadn't performed when I had that opportunity. So yeah, well,

616
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: let's to be transparent with the people out there. But

617
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: my first start, after three years of waiting, after being

618
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: a special team's demon, after working your way up during practice,

619
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: you get a start. Not a Sunday afternoon, not against

620
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: any any old team, but it's a Monday night game

621
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh. Still. Yeah, absolutely, it was Halloween night, Monday

622
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: night football, right night for Bart Scott Man backer, Jerome Benness,

623
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: Willie Parker, No Ray Lewis, Lewis Hamstring got the week before,

624
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: and everybody was like, hey, you know, Pittsburgh was Pittsburgh

625
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: at that time, and you know, at that time it

626
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: was really about running the ball and and and being physical.

627
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: And here I am this two thirty five pound linebacker,

628
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: you know, and everybody thought, okay, it was a foregoing

629
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: conclusion that the Stellers were gonna run the pump and

630
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: I and I took those lights and I signed them

631
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: directly on me, and I dared to be great. And

632
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: then I said, hey, man, if I'm if I'm gonna

633
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: go down, I'm going down swinging. You know, I'm going

634
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: down on my back. They're gonna have to carry me

635
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: out of here. And I was willing to die at night. Literally,

636
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: I was willing to die. I willing do whatever I

637
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: had to do to make sure that I got an

638
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: opportunity and I got a second chance. And I had

639
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: a decent night. I believe I had two sacks and

640
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: eleven tackles, you know, a couple of p b U s,

641
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: and you know, took Big band down a couple of

642
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: times and showed bussy ball. I was a driver that night.

643
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: And the rest is history for Bart Scott. Uh Jets

644
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: defensively against Kansas City gave up way too many big

645
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: plays for their own liking. Kansas City didn't really rush

646
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: the football. Yes, Elx Smith got free for seventy yard

647
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: or you never want to see that I seen them

648
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: pulling away from Guy's man. I gotta check some some

649
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: forty on that defense. So this year though the Jets

650
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: have not given up a lot of big plays defensively,

651
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: What did you see? Why did it happen Sunday? Well,

652
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's tough to be on the island

653
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: with with Tyreek Hill. I mean, you talk about Robby Anderson,

654
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill is more compact. Uh, He's faster in and

655
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: out of his brakes. He is the fastest man in

656
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: the NFL. And I mean you talk about I mean

657
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: you can't get enough cushion, and you know been on

658
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: one on one and you know, talk about the last

659
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: play and man and man coverage. You know, the Jets

660
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: tried to show that too deep shell. But Alex Smith

661
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: has been there, done that. He's seen all these type

662
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: of looks before. You know, the safety can only hold

663
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: it for so long. And running the bang eight and

664
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: when you have outside leverage, which is you're trying to

665
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: play to whatever help you can get. When you said

666
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: bang eight, bangade is like a post. So imagine running

667
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: straight in that fifteen twenty yards you're going to. It's

668
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,479
Speaker 1: going straight to the goal post. And uh, you know,

669
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: it's tough when you have outside leverage because you can't

670
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: get too high on him because if you get in

671
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: front of him and give up the post, you have

672
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: absolutely no help. You have a small chance to have help.

673
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: If it's a dig or something like that. You can

674
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: get either your whole player or your rat player. When

675
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: I say a whole player of rat player, it's the

676
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: un it's the free defender. He can choose to help

677
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: whoever he wants to help in between the middle of

678
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: the field. But he made that help may go to

679
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: somebody else, so you know, you don't know. And and

680
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: you know Tyreek Hill got it got loose. But what

681
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: I was impressed with is they never blinked, you know,

682
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: whenever whenever Kansas City answered, they had a response. And

683
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: you know, that's what you talk about it saying any

684
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: means necessary. It's not gonna always be pretty, you know,

685
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: but the the ultimate goal is to get the victory.

686
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: And that's what they did. And they did it because

687
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: they showed a lot of grit, they showed a lot

688
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: of character, and they showed that you know that they

689
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: can that they can be in a tight game and

690
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: fighting scrap against an elite quarterback. Listen, good teams find

691
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: different ways to win. And if you had told me

692
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: before Sunday and the Jets were going to be in

693
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: a you in the shootout with the Kansas City Chiefs,

694
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: I would have thought, Hey, maybe this is something you

695
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: don't want to be in. But they found themselves in

696
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: that and they found a way to win. In the

697
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, different guys stepped up. I mean you talk

698
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 1: about you know, the points they put up. I think

699
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: there's more points than the Giants put up all year combined. Yeah, yeah,

700
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: I said it. Yes, said it's been a horrible year.

701
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: I'm I'm kind of enjoying that a little bit. I'm

702
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: a basking and glory from a former player's perspective. Uh.

703
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: Something that Todd Bowles did uh before this game was

704
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: he made Darrenly inactive and he also uh benched Mohammed

705
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: Wilkerson for the first quarter. Now, Todd Bowles is a

706
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: kind of guy, and I know you have trun to

707
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: run amount of respect for him. He does not take

708
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: any issue publicly. If he's got to say anything to

709
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: a player, he's gonna say it behind closed doors. What

710
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: he said to the media was coach's decision we handled

711
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: in the house. I mean you you you got and

712
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: and and that's what you You don't want to publicly

713
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: embarrassed um athlete unless you have to, unless they make you,

714
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: you know. And and Ty keeps everything in the house.

715
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: And I think you know, you don't see any leaks

716
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: this year. You don't hear anybody speaking out. Everybody kind

717
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 1: of hounds their business professionally. And you know, but what

718
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: that does is send a message. That sends a message

719
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: to your team that nobody is bigger than this team. Right,

720
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: No victory is important, you know. And and I'm not

721
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: picking on the giants, but if they would a nip

722
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 1: the O'Dell stuff in the butt earlier, I don't think

723
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: Macaw doing These guys you know, get get fired today,

724
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: you know. And it's because you have to. You treat

725
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 1: everybody fairly. You can't treat everybody the same, but there's

726
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: certain things that you just have to put your foot down.

727
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: And when if you break team rules, nobody is above

728
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: the team rules. Nobody is bigger than the team. That

729
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 1: that is the message that Todd Bowles ascending. And look

730
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: at the way the guys on the field, Sunday responded,

731
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: next man up. And you know, every but every Sunday,

732
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,919
Speaker 1: something we talk about is that the Jets this year

733
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: are playing good football. Yes, the record is not where

734
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: they wanted to be, but at five and seven every

735
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: week they come with juice, passion, energy. Last year, at times,

736
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: we watch a lot of veterans struggle through moments basically

737
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: late in their career, and the Jets were getting blown

738
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: out of games. You go and each week thinking, hey,

739
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: this team is gonna give everything they have and they're

740
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: gonna have a chance at victory in the fourth quarter. Absolutely.

741
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: I mean in this league, you can get by with

742
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: enthusiasm and passion and emotion and sometimes teams for some

743
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: certain reasons and I don't bring the passion. And it's

744
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: harder when you're a veteran and you've you know, have

745
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: been there, done that. All these guys play like they're

746
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: excited to have an opportunity to play football for a living.

747
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: And that's something that you know should be commended that

748
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: these guys bring it every every week. And that's what

749
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: happens is you know, guys don't bring it in What

750
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: happens is a lot of effort and past can get

751
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: you get you through you know, you're not gonna every place,

752
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: is not gonna always be the perfect play. But it's

753
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: a lot to be said about hustle and grits. De

754
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: Mario didn't have to run Alex Smith down if you

755
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: hesitate just for a second, right those on the two

756
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: yards where he where he goes in. But when you

757
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: see that guy, you know, brat Lucy, you decided to

758
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: pull the triggers, then you know that's impulsi, that's that's practice,

759
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,720
Speaker 1: that's that's trading a culture. You're watching inside the Jets.

760
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: We're here at Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits, Eric count and

761
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: part Scott. We're gonna come right back and talk about

762
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: the Jets going to the Mile High City and facing

763
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. All right, we're back here at the

764
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt at Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's

765
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: Park um Part Jets Broncos Sunday in Colorado. Jets so

766
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: far the season, just one road victory. This is a

767
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: on team who has every right to be feeling good

768
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: about themselves, but they only have one road victory this year.

769
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: That was in Cleveland. That was a struggle. How did

770
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: they take this performance against Kansas City and going to

771
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: Denver and take care of business against a team that

772
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,919
Speaker 1: has lost eight consecutive games and it's now three and nine.

773
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: But they gotta realize they can't overlook anybody. They haven't

774
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: earned the right to overlook anybody. And if you've never

775
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: played in Mile High before, they're in for a route

776
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: rakening because the altitude is something that can be an issue.

777
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: So you want to make sure that you're efficient on

778
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: getting off the field on third down, and you're you're

779
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: efficient and converting third down. You know, I remember playing

780
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: in the Mile High Stadium when I was with the

781
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, and you know, we told people every every

782
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 1: day that, okay, listen, the air is thin up there

783
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: is gonna be different, right And until you start really running,

784
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: you don't understand. First of all, you have to worry

785
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: about altitude takenal so I'll be I'm curious to see

786
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: the Jets decided to travel as well, because well, how

787
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: did you used to do that? As well? You can

788
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: do it one or two ways. You can go out

789
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: there a day early, give your body an opportunity to

790
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: acclimate to the to the altitude, or you fly in

791
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: late It takes like twenty four hours for you to

792
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: feel the effects of altitude sickness because you can get

793
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 1: migraines at night sleeping as the error spin. And also

794
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: you have to adjust because when you start running you

795
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: can get headaches. So it's gonna be important that you

796
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,720
Speaker 1: prepare for. It didn't really impact me on the field,

797
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: and it didn't impact me because I was in great

798
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: shape and I was too young and stupid to know

799
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: that I was supposed to be tired. But I did

800
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 1: see I won't name his name, but I didn't see

801
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: a linement faker injury because he was so tired during

802
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: two minute drill and he couldn't breathe, so he faked

803
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: his own injury. We had a calls of time out.

804
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: This dude laid on the ground for about twenty minutes

805
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: and then got up and spread it off the field.

806
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 1: We look like, what are you doing about at enough

807
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: air to spread up the film exactly. He couldn't breathe,

808
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: so he laid down here for about five minutes. But

809
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: he made us way the time out during two minute

810
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: drill while we were trying to get a score. So

811
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: it can be an issue, especially for the bigger players,

812
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: and you talk about dbs and it's something that you

813
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: have to just too. But you know, the biggest problem

814
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: could be the no flies on because it's gonna be

815
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: a huge challenge for curse uh And and Robby Anderson

816
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: as they have to deal with Chris Harrison a key

817
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: to leave if he's off suspensions. I believe he's all suspension.

818
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: I believe it's just I believe I believe the team

819
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: should suspend him another game. What he did was bush league,

820
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: but that's a whole another story. They've been struggling as well,

821
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: and it should be a matchup where you know, it

822
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: should be a defensive struggle because you know, when you

823
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: have three quarterbacks, you have none. You talk about Trevor Simeon,

824
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: Paxson Lynch and Oswalder, I mean talk about, you know,

825
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: not really knowing who your leader is, and that could

826
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: be a problem. But they have very capable weapons on

827
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 1: the outside. I don't know. I think of Maauel Sanders

828
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: is playing, the Marris Thomas is playing. So they can

829
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: get loose. You can't allow c J. Anderson to get

830
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: rolling because when they've had success this year, it's been

831
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: because c J. Anderson has pulled that safety into the

832
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: box and gave those one on one opportunities on outside.

833
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: How important will early in this ballgame be? Considering Denver

834
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: started three and one, everybody in the National Football League thought, Hey,

835
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a playoff team. They might win

836
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,240
Speaker 1: the division, but they'll definitely be in the playoffs. Now

837
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: there is no chance for them to be in the

838
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: postseason under our first year and head coach Fans Joseph.

839
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: They're really struggling. They're scuffling. You've been on teams that

840
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 1: have struggled before, but I mean eight in a row.

841
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: This is this is something where this is gonna impact

842
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: your mindset. And if the Jets can go in there

843
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: jump on him early against an offense that really can't

844
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: get out of its own way, you gotta figure the

845
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: Jets have a great chance of winning this game. Yeah,

846
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: but you talk about the best pass rusher in the game,

847
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: when you're talking about Bond Milling, you can't. You have

848
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: to count for him as well. They are good enough

849
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: defensively to win the game on their own. You know,

850
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: if you if you turn the football, absolutely, because they

851
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 1: got ball hawks who if they catch the ball, can

852
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: turn those into points. As well. I think one of

853
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: the most underrated losses this year was the fact that

854
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: they decided to move on from Wade Phillips. It's a

855
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: totally different defense. It's not as aggressive, it's not as creative,

856
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: it's not the three four, and I think they're struggling

857
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: for that. So the Jets are gonna have to make

858
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: sure that they get out early and that they're they're

859
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: they're willing to use all fifty three on the roster

860
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 1: because you're gonna need them, especially if these guys, you know,

861
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: because they're young, so to be the first time you

862
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: talk about emotional players, you know, you talk about may,

863
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: you talk about lead, you talk about Adams. You know,

864
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: sometimes you may have to keep your composure because I'm

865
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: telling you, if you get on one of these two minutes,

866
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: with these two minutes, and you shoot your wire early

867
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: and you get tired early on in the game, it

868
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: could be a long day. Alright. So the Jets, let's

869
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: break the season in the quarters. They're approaching the final

870
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: quarter of the season at then for this week and

871
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: at New Orleans. The team who has really changed its

872
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: identity uh playing pretty good defense, but they're rushing of

873
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: football Alvin Kamaras taking the NFL by storm. Then a

874
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: home game again on Christmas Eve against the l A Chargers,

875
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: who are hard to say, who are competing for the

876
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: a f C West title, and then you finish up

877
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: with New yuh New England on New Year's Eve. What

878
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: do you see quickly in thirty seconds as far as

879
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 1: the final quarter to schedule, Well, it's it's always tough

880
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: to play against the wing. But you don't you don't

881
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: know if New England's playing for for um number one

882
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: over our record for home for the bandage um going

883
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 1: against Drew Brees. You know you talk about ingram as well,

884
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: you know that one two punch is really you know,

885
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: running the football is. It's gonna be tough, but you

886
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: know this team is capable of beating anybody if they're

887
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: willing able to put together four quarters of team football

888
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: and make sure they don't turn over the ball. All right,

889
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: come join us next week. That's all other victory Monday
