First order of business 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.640 is you made a wager before the year started with 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:10.520 ESPN personality and former New York Giant Chris Kenny book 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:15.640 Come On, cars were on the line. Bart Scott said 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.600 the Jets would win five games and four more. I 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.399 didn't know. Come on, I didn't just happen at five, man, 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:25.600 I'll be hating. So five games in two thousand seventeen, 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:29.319 while the Jets just beat the Chiefs. So the Jets 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:34.080 have You've won the You've won the butt, and the 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:39.000 bet was a Ferrari versus a Bentley, correctly. So what's 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.720 happening now is Chris Canny owning up on the bet? Well, 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.080 you know what. A couple of weeks ago, me and 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.400 Chris share the same age, and it was his birthday. 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:49.760 I left it up to the fans, and the fans 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.480 thought I should show mercy, and I gave him a 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:56.279 buyout package for sixty grand, forty cash and twenty thousand 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.040 for my charity. You know, so it's Christmas time, so 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.120 I'm gonna use that my need to get back. I 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:02.800 didn't know if I had enough time to sell a 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.240 Bentley or put it on Craigslist or anything like that 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.720 or eBay. So Chris Canny still has the bent Line, 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:09.919 he still has to Bailey, he still has to Bailey. 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.880 But I got sixty thousand, so parts Scott puts the 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:16.480 merciful part, Scott, the merciful part. Scott puts forty thou 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.320 in his pocket and twenty thousand the charity following on 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:20.760 the budget, man, you just let me know, if you 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:22.519 can get a hall pass, man, we go out on 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.880 this town and tad up. Oh yeah, I definitely get 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:26.200 a hall pass. I want to go out with you 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.240 and spend some of that fort K. Bottom line is 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.240 what did you see from the Jets in the summer 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:36.399 to make your prediction and eventually your dream or your 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:40.160 um desirable outcome came true. Well, I'll tell you what 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.840 I've been in this situation before. And you know, I 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.040 was a member of the Baltimore Ravens in two thousand 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.760 two after they lost you know, Rod Woodson, Shannon Sharp, 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:54.520 Sarah Goose To, Sam Adams, Uh, Jamie Sharper, you know, 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.600 Dwayne Starts, you know all the you know the great players. 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.919 And I know sometimes you can unders made young talent 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.239 because you don't know who they are. Um, but every 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.480 athlete that's in the NFL is here because they're bet 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.760 They bet on their selves and they used that as motivation. 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.440 And I knew that team would come in and underestimate 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:15.840 them and they would play above you know, their weight, 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.119 and they're punching above their weight and it's because they're 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.000 they're getting chemistry. And what happens is where you don't 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.720 have the Royal reevers where you don't have a David Harris. 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.560 When you don't have a Nick Man, what happens is 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.320 now it's on everybody and you don't depend Sometimes we 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.000 depend too much on our superstars. And what happens is 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:34.040 when it is no superstars or superstars that are in 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:38.080 the making, then everybody, you know, carries their fair share 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.280 of weight and they don't lean and wait for, you know, 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.400 for somebody to make a play, because they know everybody 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:45.520 has to make a play. Nobody talks about it yesterday 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:47.840 in the winning locker room, and I didn't hear it 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.960 from many Jets fans, but the Jets equal their win 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.760 total from a year ago. You just mentioned a number 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:55.840 of players who were on the New York Jets in 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.160 two thousand and sixteen. The Jets won't five and eleven 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.400 last year. Right now, they're sitting at five and seven, 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:04.720 uh four games to go. Nothing to celebrate. If you 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.200 asked Todd Balls and the players in the locker room 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.800 man here in a few moments will be joined by 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:15.280 defensive lineman Xavier Cooper and also wide receiver slash kick 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:19.200 returner Joe Joe natson Um. If you ask anybody love 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:23.280 named like Joejoe, that's that's sweet. That rolls off the tongue. Man. 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.359 All right, So we're gonna talk to Joe in a 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.640 few moments. But the guys in the locker room will 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.040 tell you we should be sitting here about seven to 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.120 five or eight and four. Think about the games against 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.200 Miami when you need a fourteen point lead in the 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:40.440 fourth quarter, or Atlanta when you had a lead at home, 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.920 or Carolina when you had a lead at home. So 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.240 the Jets are just a couple of plays away from 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:51.080 being in a good spot as far as playoff contention 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:52.960 is concerned. Well, you know it's called it's called a 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.400 growth cycle. And um, you know they've they've learned from 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.839 their mistakes and yesterday was proof of that. And that's 0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:59.280 what you wanna do. You want to be able to 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:02.120 get that experience. I tell people that veterans are veterans 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.320 not because they've never made mistakes, is because they made 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.279 those mistakes and they've learned from them. It's not a 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.000 sin to make a mistake, it's a sin to make 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.320 the same mistake and not learn from other people on 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.840 on your on your squad making mistakes. What happens is 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.080 you get that experience and some of these guys, you know, 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.440 they want to be part of the future. You're going forward. 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:19.279 Next year is gonna be shake up. They're gonna bring 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.279 in more players. So what happens is now you're gonna have, 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.440 you know, tremendous depth because the young guys that maybe 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.120 started this year, everybody may not start next year. But 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.520 what happens is now you have confidence and a guy 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.880 when you gotta call somebody's number, because you've seen them 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.880 do it before and they've been in those situations inside 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:38.039 the chests is presented by e Y building a better 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:43.240 working world. While that was an entertaining ballgame at less 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.840 MetLife Stadium started off bad though. I was nervous well 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:50.080 before most people sat down and had their cold beverage 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:53.400 and maybe a popcorn or two. It was fourteen nothing Chiefs, 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.840 but I was heating on my wings. Man, it was 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.559 fourteen nothing. I was like, what happened? Boom boom boom? 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.640 That t bows the hell of a thing. Man had 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:03.640 to go to tebow. See what happened? Man? Yeah, but 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:05.880 the Chiefs, but the Jets did not panicked that. I 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.840 like what I saw from them. They absorbed a punch 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:13.440 and then they countered europe boxing fan And that's exactly 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.240 what the Jets did. They actually took a lead and 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:19.240 a halftime a seventeen you know, to to quote the 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:22.159 great Rocky Bell Bowl, it ain't about hag you hit, 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.160 It's about how hard you can get hit and keep 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:28.760 moving forward. That done. Hey, what do you think about 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:34.760 the offensive balance against the Chiefs? Nearly five hundred yards 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:39.320 a total offense for this team and forty nine rush attempts, 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.880 So the Jets dominated time of possession and they did 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.320 a great job up front, specifically on a guy like 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.840 Justin Houston, a guy who's been rushing the passer at 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:53.960 an elite level for many years in the National Football League. Well, absolutely, 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:55.839 I mean you talk about I mean, did they run 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.240 a thousand plays? It seems like they read a thousand 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.279 play I know what they and twelve from like the 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.240 one inch line, you know what I mean? Yeah, that 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.080 last drive, well it just talks about that just speaks 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.600 to h Josh and and and the offense ability to 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.160 convert third downs you I mean you talk about on 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:18.240 third down they were thirteen Absolutely, so whenever you're above 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.160 forty five fifty percent. You know, you're gonna be You're 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.320 gonna be efficient, and you're going to continue to keep 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.440 the change moving. And if you don't score point, you're 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:28.280 gonna flip the field and make them have to go um, 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:32.200 you know, eighty ninety seventy yards and that's always a 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.880 good thing. So I was very proud of how they battled. 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:38.120 They battled, they fought, and they grind and winning in 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.880 this league is never easy, and and and they just 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:42.960 you know, they just kept pulling the rope. What do 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.840 you think about Josh mccount. Now, he's got five touchdowns 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.960 on the ground this season. That of the Jets eleven 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:53.080 rush touchdowns, but he had like a fifteen. He had 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:57.680 at least five quarterbacks sneaks. You know absolutely, I'll tell 0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:59.640 you what. You know, he's still in pretty good shape. 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:03.000 You know, I wouldn't make a living of diving forward, 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.440 you know, because God's defenders. As a defender, whenever I 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.080 see a quarterback, you know, do the quarterback sneak? I know, 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.240 his head is his his head is eligible and guys 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:12.920 that takes shots at the head. But you know, you know, 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:14.520 he has one of the best heads of hair in 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.720 the game. You know what I mean. So the blind bomber, 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.640 you know, got that nice thick coat. You know, he 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.800 protects him from all good concussions and stuff like that. 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.840 What do you think about the way McCown it's so 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.080 adept in the pocket he feels the rush and sometimes 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.200 he'll talk it if it's third time and he sees 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.160 a lot of green and from in front of him, 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.160 he'll pick up eleven. But the thing that I've been 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.720 so impressed with is that he slides and he finds 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:41.680 himself space and finds himself throwing lengths. Well, when you 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:43.880 think about young quarterbacks, the first thing they do when 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.240 they feel the precious they retreat, which is the worst 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:47.920 thing to do. It's it's kind of like being in 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.520 the eye of the of the hurricane. It's safe in 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:53.679 the center. So you know, great veteran quarterbacks understand they 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.320 need to step up and step left and right. You know, 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.000 you don't want to retreat because what happens is, you know, 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.280 they continue to come. When you retreat back, what you're 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.600 not in a position to see the field and also 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:05.439 to deliver the ball. And a lot of young guys 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.320 look down, don't that they see the rush you have 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:10.599 to fill the Russian. You know, give some credit to 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.880 this offensive line. I think they've started to get a 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.760 lot of chemistry together, and they've been healthy for the 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:18.160 most part, and guys have come in and filled in 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:21.280 when guys went down abably, and you know, you have 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.160 to tip your hat to them because they provided him 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.960 the opportunity. Josh mcconnor is a veteran quarterback. Whenever he 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:29.200 reads man and man coverage, he understands that everybody's back. 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.760 If he beats the wave of the of the defensive line, 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.240 he understands that everybody's back his turn and he can 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.320 get those yards. And that's what I talked about when 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:40.079 I mentioned that he was a professional quarterback. Early in 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.920 the year, when everybody was saying, hey, maybe they should, 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.240 you know, evaluate the young guys. Josh McCown gives you 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:50.640 an opportunity to evaluate the entire football team. And everybody 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.280 is flourished and everybody is starting to develop and get better. 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.040 And talk about the chemistry between those two receivers right now, 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.000 talk about for the first time since how long you 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:00.920 got to go back to the t sixties when the 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.319 Jets had a pair of receivers named George Sower and 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.840 Do Maynard black and white TV. So just the first 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.920 time Jet fans have seen it in color. To two 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.840 receivers go over a hundred yards and back to back. 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:13.800 He could set back to back, get back to back, 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:15.760 back to back. All right, So what's cleaned up for me? 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:19.400 What I appreciate? Hey, buddy, what is the ceiling on 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.880 Robbie Anderson? Because I'm tweeting during the game and a 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.240 lot of folks are saying, you know, yeah, Robbie Anderson 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.800 and he only could be a two or three. I 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:32.480 don't know if we know what his ceiling is right now. 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.920 If you look at his stats over the course of 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:39.600 the sixteen game season, he's on pace for eleven hundred yards. 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.560 And it's not just eleven hundred yards. He's getting into 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.160 the end zone as well. They keep following. I don't 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.760 understand how teams keep falling for the banana and tailpipe. 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:51.000 Dude is fast. I know he looks like with Khalifila, 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.840 you know, I mean, he's dangly and doesn't look fast. 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:57.679 But listen, get back. I don't understand why, guys. You know, 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.880 that's guy's own pride thinking though he can't be that fast, 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:02.640 and they're looking at tape until they see it in 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:04.679 real life. And he gets on top of you, and 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.080 he's making great plays, and he's learning how to high 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:10.320 point the ball, and he's starting to to really eliminate 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.440 those drops that he had earlier in the career. And 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.720 he's learning to run the route tree, the entire route tree, 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.640 so guys can't fall off. He's starting to ask some 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.040 more routes to his repertoire, and I think Curse has 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.160 been a tremendous asset for him as he's doing all 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:28.720 the grimy work. I have some fan duel fantasy analysis 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:33.240 for you, brought to you by FanDuel. Have all the 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:37.599 fantasy that football has to offer. B Sports Rich. You 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.360 gotta be looking at the Jets receivers right now, fantasy 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.000 players out there, how about your main curse. Is Robbie 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:49.600 available in some leagues? He probably he might be at 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.560 the beginning of the year. You could get Robbie Anderson cheap. 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:57.000 You're getting Robbie Anderson cheap no more because these guys 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.319 are getting it done on the outside. And how about 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.920 how about McCown Because he's thrown for eight teen touchdowns, 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.719 he rushed for five touchdowns. I mean it's amazing. I mean, 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:08.679 he's having a career year and that just showed you. 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:10.360 You know, you never know what you're gonna get, man, 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:12.120 And that's why we played the game. You know, people 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.760 want to, you know, assume that they understand the narrative 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.560 and and and put people in the boxes. And he's 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.320 breaking out of a box. He's shattering that box all right. Inside. 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:24.840 The Jets is supported by Selective Insurance.

But we're not going to talk about 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.440 that right now. Running wrong for that. Man. Hey, guys, 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:23.080 how good did it feel to pick up a W yesterday?

Oh, when they came out 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.679 and and Kelsey came out and with the old banana 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.040 to tell pipe Will, what was the what was the 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:54.240 mood like on the sideline? I think you know, I 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.360 expected the same mood if you was up fourteen, you know, Um, 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.520 I think guys were staying together and guys knew it's 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.319 a long game. A lot of players be made, and 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.520 you know, we came back and you know, handled our 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:07.199 business and we got to win. Xavier, Uh, I want 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.400 to talk about while we have both of you guys 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.680 up here right now. Your path to the New York Jets. 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:16.240 You played at Washington State University. Then you were a 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.400 third round pick of the Cleveland Browns in two thousand 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.920 and fifteen. Can you tell us about your time in Cleveland? 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:23.520 Might you want to make this man we live a nightmare? 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:30.920 Come on, Cooper talk. My path was unique. You know, 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.760 I was drafted in third round ninety six overall, played 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.480 with Cleveland for two years, and um, you know, was 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.920 on three teams this year. Started off in training camp 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.200 with the Browns, then was with San Francisco for seven games, 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.400 and then came to the Jets. So it's you know, 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.720 bart to tell you, man in this league and nothing guaranteed. 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:50.560 You gotta work for us an interview every day, So 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.680 I'm learning that. But what about connections, Xavier, Because in 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:57.920 Cleveland you had a defensive line coach, right and Robert 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.200 Nunn who got to know you awfully well, and I'm 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.080 sure he had a hand in bringing you here to 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:07.560 the Jets. Yeah, coach was there last year. We're a 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:11.160 super young group. Uh, none is a technician, So every 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.000 day you gotta work your craft and get better at 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:14.760 your craft and you know, I like working with him 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.160 because you know, he helps me be a better D lineman. 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:19.640 And of course I played with Josh too, uh with 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:21.880 the Browns two. So you know, I'm happy Josh is 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.240 getting all his success. And we'll get to that in 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:28.240 a second. Joe, Joe Natsen, you played the Utah State. 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:32.680 You transferred to Akron undrafted. Oh that's what's up? Yeah, 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:35.200 Pa shamp too. Yeah, part of the fraternity up here. 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.160 He got that big sign talk he'll know what he's like. 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:41.440 He know, he'll know what his life. I also was undrafted, 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:43.160 So you gotta feel good so that all three of 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:49.280 these guys undrafted got the same sign about Joe Joe. Um, 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.400 can you tell us about your time in Indianapolis this 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.800 summer and then coming over here to the Jets. Oh, well, 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:57.840 you know I want undrafted it. Um. I was blessed, 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.400 you know, to get an opportunity with the coaches. Um. 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:02.720 I did really well. I felt like I did really 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.480 well in the preseason. You know, you know things didn't 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:12.240 work work out over there. You should have been there. Hey, 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:14.640 you picked up that you picked up the nicknames the 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:19.040 aunt Man and the Fleet in Indianapolis.

I 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:22.680 mean that I thought it was gonna stick if if 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:24.480 I was around, if I stayed around, I thought it 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:26.600 was gonna stick. Right. But yeah, they kind of they 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.040 kind of gave me that nickname, you know, being you know, 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.280 one of the smaller guys on the team. So you know, 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:35.880 but it's all good. It's a pound yeah always um. 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:37.560 But yeah, it was like I said, the journey over 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.320 those uh and you know, god, you know less we 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:42.520 gonna come through another path over here in New York. 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:45.680 So we're just a good time being. There's a much 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:51.640 better city. Yeah, indianaps is not a bad city, not bad. 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:53.840 I'm just saying I love New York and India is 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:57.440 not bad for conventions and stuff. Yeah convention yeah, yeah, 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.480 that's all Okay, that's because they always got space available. 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.880 That's why the all's got convintion. Now, this guy over here, 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:08.680 Joe Joe Natson seven what but hud Now I'm on 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.520 a good day about once won six day on a 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:16.760 good day. Yeah, So part this it's a message to 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.800 everybody out there watching New York, just dot com, watching 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:23.720 on Facebook, listening on the ESPN radio, all the youngsters 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.240 growing up. It's not the size of the man, it's 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:28.520 the size of the heart. Well that's that's that's why 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:30.840 I love That's why I love football because you know, 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.919 Mike Singletary, who's you know, my linebacker coach in Baltimore. 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.040 You should tell me that greatness comes in all shapes 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:38.200 and sizes and if you can play, it's a position 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:40.240 for you in football. It's not like basketball where you 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.639 gotta be you know, six six, six seven. You know, 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.000 you got you got guys like Isaiah Thomas, you know, 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:49.160 but that's about it. You know, you have greater examples 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.879 of guys that are under six feet. You talk about 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:53.960 Dante Hall, you know who who are some of the 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:55.639 smaller guys that you looked up to? It as you 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:57.840 were trying to say, Hey, I'm gonna there to be great, 0:17:57.840 --> 0:17:59.360 I'm gonna try and make it to the NFL. Who 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:02.760 was somebody some people that influence you, Uh, darn S 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:04.640 Frods was like one of my you know, the biggest 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:06.760 you know, says that I looked up to, you know, 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.320 being saying Hi, I mean he's a little thicker, but 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:11.600 you know he kind of like paid the way from 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:13.159 them showing that I can do it. Then, you know, 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.439 I just start with my dream. You know, I've always 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.879 been against all the odds, so I just you know, 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:21.240 I just you know, got motivation from you know, those people, 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:23.720 the saying I can't do it. So I just kept 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:27.360 I kept going. Eric Allen here with part Scott and Joe, 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:31.840 Joe Natsen and Xavier Cooper. Xavier, what's it been like 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:36.240 inside that the funtal line room? You coming in after 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:40.119 being with the forty niners. You gotta acclimate to the 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:43.480 new surroundings, pick up a new system and then hit 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:47.320 the ground running. Yeah. Well the system uh that we're 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:48.960 playing it now, the defense that we're in now, it's 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:50.840 kind of similar to what I played in last year. 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.879 Um with Ray Horton, he was a d C for 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.080 EST last year and none. You know, it's the same 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:58.240 cause you know, usually Barton knows. You know, a lot 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:01.040 of this stuff is carried over from team the team. 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:03.320 It's a copycat league, as you know, so you know 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:05.960 it was it was pretty good. Um uh, you know, 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:07.840 getting in there and learning the guys, learning how the 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.240 guys operate. But it was an easy transition for me. 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.080 Everybody's super humble, you know, cool to tough to them. 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:17.199 So I think that's a tough thing coming in just 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:21.840 mid season basically what both both of you guys have done, 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:26.479 because not only are you picking off packing moving saying okay, 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:28.960 I got a new working environment, but you have to 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:31.840 Both of you guys are in positions where you have 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:33.840 to prove it on the practice field because if you 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:36.119 come in and you don't prove it on the practice field, 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.879 you're not getting playing time or you're not here and 0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:42.320 you're looking for a new address. And it's tough. You 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:45.280 just tough because you have to earn the trust of 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:49.040 your coaching staff and teammates. But you have limited opportunities. 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:51.600 A lot of times when your backup, you know, you're 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:54.760 you're running the scout team. You know play, so you 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:56.960 know you you have very few opportunities to run the 0:19:57.000 --> 0:20:00.119 offensive prove that you you know, absorbed the offense. So 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:02.040 I mean, I commend both of these guys. It's tough 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:04.480 coming in. And you know, that's what people don't understand 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:06.399 when they talk about you know, they say, hey, we 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:09.520 are millionaires and your life is easy, but you'll talk 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:12.880 about moving from San Francisco to New York. I don't 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:15.560 think you can go any farther, you know, and picking 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:18.040 up and leaving your belongings and living out of a hotel, 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:21.480 living out of a suitcase. You know, you have to 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.200 be persistent, you know, to to to stick. And it's 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:26.240 tough because you have to ask somebody that's willing to 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:28.760 stand on the table for you get your opportunities. And 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.040 that's the that's the hard part. Especially been a third 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:34.760 round draft pick, especially being an undrafted free agent, opportunities 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:38.240 are limited and far between. Exavier, you're playing at Washington State. 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:40.960 The head coach at the time was that Mike Leach. 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:46.120 Now here's the guy before you. You like, Lease never 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:49.760 made you sleep in the closet then you here. I 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:52.240 don't think that would have worked out. You would have 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:55.119 did that. I never Understill, there's no way this man 0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:57.240 with Maybe you got a clause either, man, I think 0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:00.480 I think handle explain to the listeners I'm speaking of. 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:02.920 When I'm talking about, I think you're talking about Mike 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:08.400 Leach and uh his days coaching Texas Tech. Yes, Uh, 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:11.640 there were some disciplinarian issues, I guess with a couple 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:14.760 of players, But where do he put them? Um? I 0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:16.800 think we're gonna cross this fence. Man, we go, we 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:18.520 go right to the line. We're gonna go over it. 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:20.000 We're gonna go right to the line. He put a 0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:22.040 couple of players made him sitting in closing in the 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:25.040 dark room because they had concussions. And you know, since then, 0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:27.199 he's he's changed. Don't worry. I said the same thing 0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:29.320 that Mike Leach when he came to the to the facility. 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:31.680 I'm not worried about it. If I got your back, 0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:36.160 you know, he was was almost just signed up by 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:39.320 Tennessee almost. I'm happy you didn't go in to closet. 0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:44.560 But Xavier playing for a guy like Leach at Washington State, 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:50.240 everybody is thinking offense, offense, offense. Did you feel like 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:53.760 you were getting to love there? Because the first thing 0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:57.600 you think about it about that program is the Mad Scientists, 0:21:57.680 --> 0:22:02.000 the pirate least Um. Yeah, I mean the amount of 0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:05.159 revs that the offense took, you know, on a daily basis, 0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:07.359 I thought I was playing offense, can tell you the truth. 0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:10.720 But you know, he really never um came over to 0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:13.040 that side. He kind of just let the d C 0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:15.439 be the d C. But it was cool just watching 0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:18.199 how many routes they run and how sophisticated the offense was. 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:21.159 So it was a good experience. And where are the 0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:25.280 Jets working you predominantly now on that front? Um, I'm 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:27.600 just a reserve defensive linement for now, and I'm just 0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:30.800 playing all multiple positions wherever they need me, you know, 0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:32.719 when the guys need to come out for rest, I'm 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:34.840 just jumping in there. You know, where do you fail? 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:38.280 Your natural position is? My natural position is at the 0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:41.440 three technique being able to rush inside and penetrate inside. 0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:43.639 So you know, I'm just trying to, you know, find 0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:45.880 my home here. And you know, asked was you know, 0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:47.760 whatever they asked for me to do, I'm trying to 0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:50.119 do it. And you know, just play hard. Bart Scott 0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:52.520 and I do a weekly film review on Jets Flight 0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:56.119 playing eleven thirty Sunday morning on CBS UH and he'll 0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:59.199 go in to the definitions of football terms. But why 0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:01.960 didn't you explain to folks at home watching right now 0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:05.680 or listening on ESPN radio the three technique the three technique? 0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:08.000 So really the three technique is shaded on the guard. 0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:11.040 The guard is located right next to the center, and 0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:13.080 usually the three technique gets to you know, one on 0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:16.080 one matchup. You know his his main objective is to 0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:18.440 control the B gap, you know, penetrate that B gap, 0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:20.480 knocked back the B gap, you know, hold up double 0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:23.760 teams periodically for the winebackers, so guys like Martin come 0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:26.359 in and you know, get that money too. But yeah, 0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:28.720 that's that's the position of the three techniques. Always always 0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:32.840 treated my three techniques very well. Watches food, steaks, whatever 0:23:32.880 --> 0:23:35.240 you want. I like my dude, nice and fat, whatever, 0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:36.879 you won't you got it what you really at the 0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:39.800 end of the year. Absolutely, yeah, I'm very rather. You know, 0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:42.199 before these I pass came out. I know, I know 0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:44.240 you guys, this is all you know. But we had 0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:47.000 our courses, our curses. Was kind of like the first 0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:50.040 iPad that Apple stole the technology from. I always make 0:23:50.080 --> 0:23:52.679 sure they had everything they needed, man, because what happens 0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:55.320 is it's not a glorious position. Man. Half the time 0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:58.399 you're sitting there and sitting on double teams, and you know, 0:23:58.480 --> 0:24:01.000 God comes like me come down. Always make sure whenever 0:24:01.040 --> 0:24:03.560 I was a linebacker, I got downhill fast so then 0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:05.280 they can split the double team and then I can 0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:07.399 do my part as well. But but that's what people 0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:10.600 liked about you when you played UH during your days 0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:12.399 with the Jets, is this guy loved to take on 0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:16.119 guards and if another linebacker was getting the tackle, you 0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:18.600 were fine with that. So a good man. This is long. 0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:20.159 As long as long as you teammates know you have 0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:22.200 the respect from your teammates, that's all you care about. 0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:24.879 You don't care all about all the individual accolades because 0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:28.800 you know, the easiest thing to get in football is stats, right, 0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:31.720 But but to get the stats, who are willing to 0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:34.080 screw it? You know, I can go and brush the 0:24:34.080 --> 0:24:36.320 pass and get a million sacks, But how many yards 0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:38.280 am I gonna get give up by getting up field 0:24:38.280 --> 0:24:40.240 and creating a harder gap for my linebacker to have 0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:42.040 to field. But and that's where you get the real 0:24:42.119 --> 0:24:45.960 respect from is your peerers. Joe Joe, Joe Gez not 0:24:46.160 --> 0:24:49.280 only are your receiver, but you are the Jets primary 0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:53.160 return man. Right now, what is the mentality of a returner? 0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:56.919 I mean, for me, my mentality, man, I'm just you know, 0:24:56.960 --> 0:24:59.040 I'm just trying to bring a spark to the team 0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:02.760 in the best wa he's possible on you know, can't 0:25:02.760 --> 0:25:06.919 return part returns my UH blocking unit. You know they 0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:09.040 do a good job from me every week and you know, 0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:12.000 just earning the coaches trust on the team. My team 0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:14.520 made his trust. So any way possible I can make 0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:16.240 a spark for the team, That's what I'm trying to do. 0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:18.199 So you gotta be a little crazy to volunteer for 0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:21.400 that because people don't realize, you know, I mean it's 0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:23.600 hard to block these gunners in the league. And you 0:25:23.680 --> 0:25:25.640 got guys that's you know, right in your face. They're 0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:30.159 running you know, forty miles meant yards and the collisions. 0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:32.480 You know, who who who inspired you? Who are something 0:25:32.600 --> 0:25:36.000 to you? Who's the best returner to ever doing? I 0:25:36.040 --> 0:25:38.760 gotta go with I gotta go with d Heston, you know. 0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:42.720 I mean you're watching what he did just throughout his 0:25:42.760 --> 0:25:45.320 career and just you know inspired me. They you know, 0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:48.080 we're trying try to, you know, follow his path. Do 0:25:48.160 --> 0:25:50.360 you think you're close. There's been a couple of times 0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:54.280 I've watched you after they got you down and you're 0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:57.760 hopping to the sidelines like, oh if I just broke 0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:01.320 that tackle, made one stuff this way, I'm to the house. Yeah, 0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:03.640 I mean I think I'm closed. Uh, Like I said, 0:26:03.640 --> 0:26:06.120 I'm just trying to you know, take each week, one 0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:09.000 week at a time, you know, just build my confidence up, 0:26:09.080 --> 0:26:10.800 and you know, because I feel like that's all it 0:26:10.840 --> 0:26:13.080 is for me right now, just you know, trying to 0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:15.200 build my confidence up and then you know that big 0:26:15.200 --> 0:26:16.960 one that's gonna come. So my coach telling me to 0:26:16.960 --> 0:26:19.359 be patient and you know it's gonna come. And what 0:26:19.480 --> 0:26:23.960 about your Joe um offensively, you're getting a little bit 0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:27.920 of working and practice as well or right now predominantly uh, 0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:30.879 special teams right now, I mean it's predominant special teams. 0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:33.160 But I'm getting a little work each week coach, working 0:26:33.280 --> 0:26:35.720 in the practice. You know, I came in late. You know, 0:26:35.760 --> 0:26:37.440 I could leaving the coach, so I wasn't kind of 0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:39.359 I want all the way caught up with the guys 0:26:39.359 --> 0:26:42.120 on as far as the playbook. But you know, as 0:26:42.160 --> 0:26:44.080 week's been going by, I've been getting better in a 0:26:44.320 --> 0:26:46.199 in my playbook. And you know, Coach, he's you know, 0:26:46.280 --> 0:26:47.880 trying to put me in the midst a little bit. 0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:52.280 I'll go into the to the suggestion boxing get you 0:26:52.320 --> 0:26:54.040 on that jet suite, you know what I mean, storage 0:26:54.040 --> 0:26:57.640 storage story couldn't been that corner quite yesterday. Well get 0:26:57.640 --> 0:27:00.879 you a shot at it. Exavier what's it been like 0:27:01.080 --> 0:27:04.919 for you to work with a guy, A consummate professional, 0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:08.080 Steve mcleanden, who came over here from the Pittsburgh Steeler. 0:27:08.119 --> 0:27:10.400 He's been here a number of years. I think he's 0:27:10.480 --> 0:27:13.840 kind of an unhar old guy along that defensive line, 0:27:14.359 --> 0:27:17.879 a good run stuffer. He's really helped this team out 0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:22.159 um fortify the middle this year. I think. Yeah, Steve 0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:26.040 brings that event savness to the d line. Um Ever 0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:28.560 since I got here. Uh, you know, Steve's welcome me in. 0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:31.200 You know, he's been able to teach me some things 0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:33.680 I didn't know, because you know, you gotta stay a 0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:35.960 student in this game, because this game will bring you 0:27:36.040 --> 0:27:38.320 to your knees. Every everybody knows that that's played it. 0:27:38.600 --> 0:27:40.479 And so you know, I just asked Steve, you know, 0:27:40.800 --> 0:27:44.160 different things about taking on doubles, playing different uh blocks, 0:27:44.240 --> 0:27:46.960 going against different offensive schemes, and he's been really helpful. 0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:51.760 He's he's got like a philosopher way about him, doesn't 0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:55.120 he figus? Uh? He always looks at the big picture 0:27:55.640 --> 0:27:58.240 and is able to grab hold of it and then 0:27:58.560 --> 0:28:02.159 and then articulated in a fine way. Yeah, you know, 0:28:02.560 --> 0:28:05.000 Stephen de Mario great leaders on the defense. You know, 0:28:05.119 --> 0:28:06.879 like I said, I played, I played with the Mario 0:28:06.960 --> 0:28:08.960 and Cleveland as well, and him and Steve. You know, 0:28:09.040 --> 0:28:11.480 bring that vet saving us and guys that you know 0:28:11.800 --> 0:28:13.960 can get you up it if you're filling down or 0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:15.680 something's going on in your life. You know, when you 0:28:15.760 --> 0:28:17.760 test the field with those guys, you want to bring it. 0:28:18.480 --> 0:28:20.760 Oh man, I'm just I'm just reminded when you say tomorrow. 0:28:21.000 --> 0:28:23.000 I'm reminded because you gotta think I got him when 0:28:23.040 --> 0:28:26.119 he was young and he hit us with the wheelbarrow story. 0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:28.919 You know, he's a rookie and he come in he 0:28:29.000 --> 0:28:31.120 tells his story about getting in the wheelbarrow. We're all 0:28:31.119 --> 0:28:33.200 looking like rookie if you don't shut the hell up 0:28:33.760 --> 0:28:35.719 and go get my doughnuts, man, get down out of here. 0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:38.720 But yeah, he's listen. I'm listen. I'm problem. I tell you, 0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:41.800 I'm like a problem. I'm like a proud paper man 0:28:41.800 --> 0:28:44.280 because I've watched you know, the Mario mature and you 0:28:44.320 --> 0:28:46.360 know we talked about at the beginning of the season. 0:28:46.440 --> 0:28:48.400 You know, I think he struggled him and Darren with 0:28:48.480 --> 0:28:51.000 the chemistry, you know, but I don't think I think 0:28:51.000 --> 0:28:53.840 he's playing top five linebacker in his league since you 0:28:53.880 --> 0:28:57.360 know Week three alright, so uh, he's Savory Cooper. Keep 0:28:57.440 --> 0:29:01.040 up the hard work, Joe Joe. Now sin, I think 0:29:01.040 --> 0:29:03.880 it's only a matter of time because base good things 0:29:03.960 --> 0:29:08.160 happened the folks who visit us on inside the Jets. 0:29:08.160 --> 0:29:11.520 So that's some fantasy advice for you. Maybe pick up 0:29:11.600 --> 0:29:14.840 Joe Joe Nansen down the stretch. He's ready to take 0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:17.120 one to the house. Thanks so much for joining us. Guys, 0:29:17.360 --> 0:29:20.920 may be right back. I'm inside the Jets. Thanks. We're 0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:23.600 back here at Vandabilet Sports and Spirits at the Windham 0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:28.320 Hamilton's Park Hotel. Nice job defense the lineman Xavier Cooper 0:29:28.680 --> 0:29:32.440 also a wide receiver, kick returner Jojoe Natson, and I 0:29:32.600 --> 0:29:35.400 wish we were on live during the break. We might 0:29:35.520 --> 0:29:39.440 have to start doing that, uh for folks on Facebook 0:29:39.560 --> 0:29:42.560 or watching our livestream on New York tes dot Com ESPN. 0:29:42.600 --> 0:29:45.520 We gotta pay the commercials. But you just had some 0:29:45.600 --> 0:29:48.080 words of wisdom for both of these guys. It may 0:29:48.120 --> 0:29:50.800 get too real for him off off the area. Yeah no, no, 0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:52.880 I've just explained to them. Listen, I've been in the 0:29:53.040 --> 0:29:55.200 in the in the situation that they've been in I've 0:29:55.200 --> 0:29:57.640 been undrafted free agent, you know, just waiting for that 0:29:57.720 --> 0:30:00.320 one opportunity. And I was telling him, listen, you may 0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:03.240 only get one opportunity. If you get to you're lucky 0:30:03.560 --> 0:30:07.120 and to maximize those opportunities, you know, because I've been there, 0:30:07.120 --> 0:30:09.360 and I explained to them what my first start was, 0:30:09.480 --> 0:30:13.240 the situation, um that that that it came under. And 0:30:13.360 --> 0:30:15.239 you know, you would have never heard of me if 0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:18.360 I hadn't performed when I had that opportunity. So yeah, well, 0:30:18.440 --> 0:30:24.560 let's to be transparent with the people out there. But 0:30:24.640 --> 0:30:27.680 my first start, after three years of waiting, after being 0:30:27.680 --> 0:30:31.600 a special team's demon, after working your way up during practice, 0:30:31.800 --> 0:30:35.320 you get a start. Not a Sunday afternoon, not against 0:30:35.360 --> 0:30:38.480 any any old team, but it's a Monday night game 0:30:38.480 --> 0:30:42.960 against Pittsburgh. Still. Yeah, absolutely, it was Halloween night, Monday 0:30:43.080 --> 0:30:47.160 night football, right night for Bart Scott Man backer, Jerome Benness, 0:30:47.520 --> 0:30:51.720 Willie Parker, No Ray Lewis, Lewis Hamstring got the week before, 0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:54.680 and everybody was like, hey, you know, Pittsburgh was Pittsburgh 0:30:54.680 --> 0:30:56.400 at that time, and you know, at that time it 0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:59.720 was really about running the ball and and and being physical. 0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:03.320 And here I am this two thirty five pound linebacker, 0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:06.240 you know, and everybody thought, okay, it was a foregoing 0:31:06.320 --> 0:31:11.120 conclusion that the Stellers were gonna run the pump and 0:31:11.120 --> 0:31:13.120 I and I took those lights and I signed them 0:31:13.120 --> 0:31:15.600 directly on me, and I dared to be great. And 0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:17.400 then I said, hey, man, if I'm if I'm gonna 0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:19.680 go down, I'm going down swinging. You know, I'm going 0:31:19.680 --> 0:31:21.360 down on my back. They're gonna have to carry me 0:31:21.360 --> 0:31:23.520 out of here. And I was willing to die at night. Literally, 0:31:23.600 --> 0:31:26.200 I was willing to die. I willing do whatever I 0:31:26.280 --> 0:31:27.880 had to do to make sure that I got an 0:31:27.840 --> 0:31:30.800 opportunity and I got a second chance. And I had 0:31:30.840 --> 0:31:32.680 a decent night. I believe I had two sacks and 0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:35.520 eleven tackles, you know, a couple of p b U s, 0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:37.440 and you know, took Big band down a couple of 0:31:37.440 --> 0:31:41.080 times and showed bussy ball. I was a driver that night. 0:31:41.440 --> 0:31:44.640 And the rest is history for Bart Scott. Uh Jets 0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:48.600 defensively against Kansas City gave up way too many big 0:31:48.640 --> 0:31:51.760 plays for their own liking. Kansas City didn't really rush 0:31:51.840 --> 0:31:55.320 the football. Yes, Elx Smith got free for seventy yard 0:31:55.360 --> 0:31:57.600 or you never want to see that I seen them 0:31:57.600 --> 0:31:59.480 pulling away from Guy's man. I gotta check some some 0:31:59.600 --> 0:32:03.320 forty on that defense. So this year though the Jets 0:32:03.320 --> 0:32:06.160 have not given up a lot of big plays defensively, 0:32:06.680 --> 0:32:10.040 What did you see? Why did it happen Sunday? Well, 0:32:10.080 --> 0:32:12.160 you know, it's it's tough to be on the island 0:32:12.200 --> 0:32:16.280 with with Tyreek Hill. I mean, you talk about Robby Anderson, 0:32:16.840 --> 0:32:20.760 Tyreek Hill is more compact. Uh, He's faster in and 0:32:20.760 --> 0:32:23.720 out of his brakes. He is the fastest man in 0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:26.960 the NFL. And I mean you talk about I mean 0:32:27.600 --> 0:32:30.680 you can't get enough cushion, and you know been on 0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:32.600 one on one and you know, talk about the last 0:32:32.600 --> 0:32:34.520 play and man and man coverage. You know, the Jets 0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:37.400 tried to show that too deep shell. But Alex Smith 0:32:37.440 --> 0:32:39.560 has been there, done that. He's seen all these type 0:32:39.560 --> 0:32:42.000 of looks before. You know, the safety can only hold 0:32:42.000 --> 0:32:44.280 it for so long. And running the bang eight and 0:32:44.320 --> 0:32:46.640 when you have outside leverage, which is you're trying to 0:32:46.680 --> 0:32:48.520 play to whatever help you can get. When you said 0:32:48.520 --> 0:32:51.840 bang eight, bangade is like a post. So imagine running 0:32:51.880 --> 0:32:55.920 straight in that fifteen twenty yards you're going to. It's 0:32:55.960 --> 0:32:58.479 going straight to the goal post. And uh, you know, 0:32:58.560 --> 0:33:01.040 it's tough when you have outside leverage because you can't 0:33:01.040 --> 0:33:02.520 get too high on him because if you get in 0:33:02.520 --> 0:33:04.000 front of him and give up the post, you have 0:33:04.280 --> 0:33:07.520 absolutely no help. You have a small chance to have help. 0:33:07.800 --> 0:33:09.600 If it's a dig or something like that. You can 0:33:09.680 --> 0:33:11.760 get either your whole player or your rat player. When 0:33:11.760 --> 0:33:13.760 I say a whole player of rat player, it's the 0:33:13.880 --> 0:33:16.960 un it's the free defender. He can choose to help 0:33:17.000 --> 0:33:19.280 whoever he wants to help in between the middle of 0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:21.160 the field. But he made that help may go to 0:33:21.200 --> 0:33:23.800 somebody else, so you know, you don't know. And and 0:33:23.840 --> 0:33:26.560 you know Tyreek Hill got it got loose. But what 0:33:26.680 --> 0:33:29.760 I was impressed with is they never blinked, you know, 0:33:29.800 --> 0:33:34.400 whenever whenever Kansas City answered, they had a response. And 0:33:34.440 --> 0:33:36.520 you know, that's what you talk about it saying any 0:33:36.560 --> 0:33:39.120 means necessary. It's not gonna always be pretty, you know, 0:33:39.200 --> 0:33:41.600 but the the ultimate goal is to get the victory. 0:33:41.600 --> 0:33:43.000 And that's what they did. And they did it because 0:33:43.000 --> 0:33:44.800 they showed a lot of grit, they showed a lot 0:33:44.800 --> 0:33:47.400 of character, and they showed that you know that they 0:33:47.440 --> 0:33:49.680 can that they can be in a tight game and 0:33:49.840 --> 0:33:53.560 fighting scrap against an elite quarterback. Listen, good teams find 0:33:53.920 --> 0:33:57.000 different ways to win. And if you had told me 0:33:57.120 --> 0:33:59.560 before Sunday and the Jets were going to be in 0:33:59.600 --> 0:34:02.400 a you in the shootout with the Kansas City Chiefs, 0:34:02.920 --> 0:34:07.000 I would have thought, Hey, maybe this is something you 0:34:07.040 --> 0:34:10.239 don't want to be in. But they found themselves in 0:34:10.239 --> 0:34:12.600 that and they found a way to win. In the 0:34:12.640 --> 0:34:15.120 fourth quarter, different guys stepped up. I mean you talk 0:34:15.160 --> 0:34:17.399 about you know, the points they put up. I think 0:34:17.440 --> 0:34:22.040 there's more points than the Giants put up all year combined. Yeah, yeah, 0:34:22.040 --> 0:34:24.239 I said it. Yes, said it's been a horrible year. 0:34:24.360 --> 0:34:27.200 I'm I'm kind of enjoying that a little bit. I'm 0:34:27.200 --> 0:34:31.239 a basking and glory from a former player's perspective. Uh. 0:34:31.800 --> 0:34:36.600 Something that Todd Bowles did uh before this game was 0:34:36.719 --> 0:34:41.480 he made Darrenly inactive and he also uh benched Mohammed 0:34:41.520 --> 0:34:44.640 Wilkerson for the first quarter. Now, Todd Bowles is a 0:34:44.760 --> 0:34:46.360 kind of guy, and I know you have trun to 0:34:46.520 --> 0:34:50.680 run amount of respect for him. He does not take 0:34:50.760 --> 0:34:53.440 any issue publicly. If he's got to say anything to 0:34:53.480 --> 0:34:56.719 a player, he's gonna say it behind closed doors. What 0:34:56.840 --> 0:35:00.600 he said to the media was coach's decision we handled 0:35:00.640 --> 0:35:03.680 in the house. I mean you you you got and 0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:05.840 and and that's what you You don't want to publicly 0:35:05.880 --> 0:35:10.320 embarrassed um athlete unless you have to, unless they make you, 0:35:10.320 --> 0:35:12.440 you know. And and Ty keeps everything in the house. 0:35:12.480 --> 0:35:14.680 And I think you know, you don't see any leaks 0:35:14.719 --> 0:35:17.480 this year. You don't hear anybody speaking out. Everybody kind 0:35:17.480 --> 0:35:20.879 of hounds their business professionally. And you know, but what 0:35:20.920 --> 0:35:23.200 that does is send a message. That sends a message 0:35:23.200 --> 0:35:25.560 to your team that nobody is bigger than this team. Right, 0:35:25.680 --> 0:35:28.359 No victory is important, you know. And and I'm not 0:35:28.400 --> 0:35:30.440 picking on the giants, but if they would a nip 0:35:30.560 --> 0:35:33.399 the O'Dell stuff in the butt earlier, I don't think 0:35:33.480 --> 0:35:36.400 Macaw doing These guys you know, get get fired today, 0:35:36.680 --> 0:35:39.239 you know. And it's because you have to. You treat 0:35:39.280 --> 0:35:42.919 everybody fairly. You can't treat everybody the same, but there's 0:35:42.920 --> 0:35:45.080 certain things that you just have to put your foot down. 0:35:45.239 --> 0:35:47.480 And when if you break team rules, nobody is above 0:35:47.520 --> 0:35:49.920 the team rules. Nobody is bigger than the team. That 0:35:49.920 --> 0:35:53.879 that is the message that Todd Bowles ascending. And look 0:35:53.920 --> 0:35:57.880 at the way the guys on the field, Sunday responded, 0:35:58.239 --> 0:36:01.200 next man up. And you know, every but every Sunday, 0:36:01.280 --> 0:36:04.919 something we talk about is that the Jets this year 0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:08.040 are playing good football. Yes, the record is not where 0:36:08.080 --> 0:36:11.080 they wanted to be, but at five and seven every 0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:16.040 week they come with juice, passion, energy. Last year, at times, 0:36:16.160 --> 0:36:24.120 we watch a lot of veterans struggle through moments basically 0:36:24.200 --> 0:36:27.160 late in their career, and the Jets were getting blown 0:36:27.160 --> 0:36:31.080 out of games. You go and each week thinking, hey, 0:36:31.120 --> 0:36:34.279 this team is gonna give everything they have and they're 0:36:34.280 --> 0:36:37.239 gonna have a chance at victory in the fourth quarter. Absolutely. 0:36:37.239 --> 0:36:40.000 I mean in this league, you can get by with 0:36:40.200 --> 0:36:45.680 enthusiasm and passion and emotion and sometimes teams for some 0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:48.040 certain reasons and I don't bring the passion. And it's 0:36:48.040 --> 0:36:50.239 harder when you're a veteran and you've you know, have 0:36:50.360 --> 0:36:52.640 been there, done that. All these guys play like they're 0:36:52.640 --> 0:36:55.520 excited to have an opportunity to play football for a living. 0:36:55.880 --> 0:36:57.840 And that's something that you know should be commended that 0:36:57.920 --> 0:37:00.520 these guys bring it every every week. And that's what 0:37:00.600 --> 0:37:03.040 happens is you know, guys don't bring it in What 0:37:03.080 --> 0:37:05.759 happens is a lot of effort and past can get 0:37:05.800 --> 0:37:08.200 you get you through you know, you're not gonna every place, 0:37:08.280 --> 0:37:10.279 is not gonna always be the perfect play. But it's 0:37:10.320 --> 0:37:12.480 a lot to be said about hustle and grits. De 0:37:12.560 --> 0:37:15.080 Mario didn't have to run Alex Smith down if you 0:37:15.200 --> 0:37:18.960 hesitate just for a second, right those on the two 0:37:19.040 --> 0:37:21.000 yards where he where he goes in. But when you 0:37:21.080 --> 0:37:23.400 see that guy, you know, brat Lucy, you decided to 0:37:23.440 --> 0:37:26.840 pull the triggers, then you know that's impulsi, that's that's practice, 0:37:27.120 --> 0:37:30.720 that's that's trading a culture. You're watching inside the Jets. 0:37:31.320 --> 0:37:33.880 We're here at Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits, Eric count and 0:37:33.920 --> 0:37:36.400 part Scott. We're gonna come right back and talk about 0:37:36.880 --> 0:37:40.520 the Jets going to the Mile High City and facing 0:37:40.560 --> 0:37:44.640 the Denver Broncos. All right, we're back here at the 0:37:44.719 --> 0:37:48.840 Vanderbilt at Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's 0:37:48.840 --> 0:37:56.920 Park um Part Jets Broncos Sunday in Colorado. Jets so 0:37:57.000 --> 0:37:59.840 far the season, just one road victory. This is a 0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:03.640 on team who has every right to be feeling good 0:38:03.680 --> 0:38:08.279 about themselves, but they only have one road victory this year. 0:38:08.360 --> 0:38:11.880 That was in Cleveland. That was a struggle. How did 0:38:11.920 --> 0:38:15.200 they take this performance against Kansas City and going to 0:38:15.360 --> 0:38:17.960 Denver and take care of business against a team that 0:38:18.000 --> 0:38:21.919 has lost eight consecutive games and it's now three and nine. 0:38:22.120 --> 0:38:25.040 But they gotta realize they can't overlook anybody. They haven't 0:38:25.040 --> 0:38:27.680 earned the right to overlook anybody. And if you've never 0:38:27.719 --> 0:38:30.160 played in Mile High before, they're in for a route 0:38:30.280 --> 0:38:33.880 rakening because the altitude is something that can be an issue. 0:38:33.960 --> 0:38:36.200 So you want to make sure that you're efficient on 0:38:36.280 --> 0:38:38.839 getting off the field on third down, and you're you're 0:38:38.840 --> 0:38:42.640 efficient and converting third down. You know, I remember playing 0:38:42.840 --> 0:38:46.000 in the Mile High Stadium when I was with the 0:38:46.000 --> 0:38:49.319 Baltimore Ravens, and you know, we told people every every 0:38:49.400 --> 0:38:52.399 day that, okay, listen, the air is thin up there 0:38:52.480 --> 0:38:55.360 is gonna be different, right And until you start really running, 0:38:55.400 --> 0:38:57.520 you don't understand. First of all, you have to worry 0:38:57.520 --> 0:38:59.879 about altitude takenal so I'll be I'm curious to see 0:39:00.120 --> 0:39:03.000 the Jets decided to travel as well, because well, how 0:39:03.000 --> 0:39:05.040 did you used to do that? As well? You can 0:39:05.040 --> 0:39:06.359 do it one or two ways. You can go out 0:39:06.360 --> 0:39:08.719 there a day early, give your body an opportunity to 0:39:08.760 --> 0:39:12.680 acclimate to the to the altitude, or you fly in 0:39:12.960 --> 0:39:15.680 late It takes like twenty four hours for you to 0:39:15.680 --> 0:39:18.040 feel the effects of altitude sickness because you can get 0:39:18.040 --> 0:39:21.280 migraines at night sleeping as the error spin. And also 0:39:21.360 --> 0:39:23.680 you have to adjust because when you start running you 0:39:23.719 --> 0:39:25.920 can get headaches. So it's gonna be important that you 0:39:26.040 --> 0:39:28.720 prepare for. It didn't really impact me on the field, 0:39:28.800 --> 0:39:32.200 and it didn't impact me because I was in great 0:39:32.200 --> 0:39:34.000 shape and I was too young and stupid to know 0:39:34.040 --> 0:39:36.160 that I was supposed to be tired. But I did 0:39:36.280 --> 0:39:38.359 see I won't name his name, but I didn't see 0:39:38.360 --> 0:39:41.719 a linement faker injury because he was so tired during 0:39:41.760 --> 0:39:44.080 two minute drill and he couldn't breathe, so he faked 0:39:44.080 --> 0:39:46.120 his own injury. We had a calls of time out. 0:39:46.640 --> 0:39:49.040 This dude laid on the ground for about twenty minutes 0:39:49.360 --> 0:39:51.680 and then got up and spread it off the field. 0:39:51.719 --> 0:39:53.879 We look like, what are you doing about at enough 0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:57.200 air to spread up the film exactly. He couldn't breathe, 0:39:57.200 --> 0:39:59.279 so he laid down here for about five minutes. But 0:39:59.320 --> 0:40:01.759 he made us way the time out during two minute 0:40:01.840 --> 0:40:03.960 drill while we were trying to get a score. So 0:40:04.239 --> 0:40:06.920 it can be an issue, especially for the bigger players, 0:40:06.920 --> 0:40:09.279 and you talk about dbs and it's something that you 0:40:09.280 --> 0:40:11.480 have to just too. But you know, the biggest problem 0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:13.600 could be the no flies on because it's gonna be 0:40:13.640 --> 0:40:17.120 a huge challenge for curse uh And and Robby Anderson 0:40:17.320 --> 0:40:19.239 as they have to deal with Chris Harrison a key 0:40:19.320 --> 0:40:22.120 to leave if he's off suspensions. I believe he's all suspension. 0:40:22.520 --> 0:40:24.520 I believe it's just I believe I believe the team 0:40:24.560 --> 0:40:27.640 should suspend him another game. What he did was bush league, 0:40:27.800 --> 0:40:30.239 but that's a whole another story. They've been struggling as well, 0:40:30.800 --> 0:40:32.920 and it should be a matchup where you know, it 0:40:32.920 --> 0:40:35.600 should be a defensive struggle because you know, when you 0:40:35.680 --> 0:40:39.160 have three quarterbacks, you have none. You talk about Trevor Simeon, 0:40:39.360 --> 0:40:42.680 Paxson Lynch and Oswalder, I mean talk about, you know, 0:40:42.760 --> 0:40:44.440 not really knowing who your leader is, and that could 0:40:44.440 --> 0:40:46.719 be a problem. But they have very capable weapons on 0:40:46.719 --> 0:40:48.800 the outside. I don't know. I think of Maauel Sanders 0:40:48.920 --> 0:40:51.319 is playing, the Marris Thomas is playing. So they can 0:40:51.360 --> 0:40:55.040 get loose. You can't allow c J. Anderson to get 0:40:55.120 --> 0:40:58.200 rolling because when they've had success this year, it's been 0:40:58.280 --> 0:41:00.920 because c J. Anderson has pulled that safety into the 0:41:01.000 --> 0:41:04.320 box and gave those one on one opportunities on outside. 0:41:04.360 --> 0:41:09.000 How important will early in this ballgame be? Considering Denver 0:41:09.160 --> 0:41:12.839 started three and one, everybody in the National Football League thought, Hey, 0:41:12.880 --> 0:41:15.239 this is gonna be a playoff team. They might win 0:41:15.280 --> 0:41:18.240 the division, but they'll definitely be in the playoffs. Now 0:41:18.400 --> 0:41:20.600 there is no chance for them to be in the 0:41:20.640 --> 0:41:23.840 postseason under our first year and head coach Fans Joseph. 0:41:24.160 --> 0:41:28.759 They're really struggling. They're scuffling. You've been on teams that 0:41:28.920 --> 0:41:31.839 have struggled before, but I mean eight in a row. 0:41:32.560 --> 0:41:35.400 This is this is something where this is gonna impact 0:41:35.400 --> 0:41:37.799 your mindset. And if the Jets can go in there 0:41:38.320 --> 0:41:42.080 jump on him early against an offense that really can't 0:41:42.120 --> 0:41:44.719 get out of its own way, you gotta figure the 0:41:44.800 --> 0:41:46.719 Jets have a great chance of winning this game. Yeah, 0:41:46.719 --> 0:41:49.759 but you talk about the best pass rusher in the game, 0:41:50.120 --> 0:41:52.719 when you're talking about Bond Milling, you can't. You have 0:41:52.800 --> 0:41:55.080 to count for him as well. They are good enough 0:41:55.120 --> 0:41:58.719 defensively to win the game on their own. You know, 0:41:58.800 --> 0:42:00.880 if you if you turn the football, absolutely, because they 0:42:00.920 --> 0:42:03.319 got ball hawks who if they catch the ball, can 0:42:03.360 --> 0:42:05.799 turn those into points. As well. I think one of 0:42:05.840 --> 0:42:10.680 the most underrated losses this year was the fact that 0:42:10.760 --> 0:42:14.040 they decided to move on from Wade Phillips. It's a 0:42:14.080 --> 0:42:17.600 totally different defense. It's not as aggressive, it's not as creative, 0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:20.640 it's not the three four, and I think they're struggling 0:42:20.680 --> 0:42:22.120 for that. So the Jets are gonna have to make 0:42:22.160 --> 0:42:25.120 sure that they get out early and that they're they're 0:42:25.160 --> 0:42:28.600 they're willing to use all fifty three on the roster 0:42:28.640 --> 0:42:31.360 because you're gonna need them, especially if these guys, you know, 0:42:31.440 --> 0:42:33.319 because they're young, so to be the first time you 0:42:33.320 --> 0:42:36.120 talk about emotional players, you know, you talk about may, 0:42:36.200 --> 0:42:39.640 you talk about lead, you talk about Adams. You know, 0:42:39.840 --> 0:42:42.799 sometimes you may have to keep your composure because I'm 0:42:42.800 --> 0:42:44.440 telling you, if you get on one of these two minutes, 0:42:44.680 --> 0:42:47.640 with these two minutes, and you shoot your wire early 0:42:47.880 --> 0:42:50.160 and you get tired early on in the game, it 0:42:50.160 --> 0:42:53.279 could be a long day. Alright. So the Jets, let's 0:42:53.280 --> 0:42:56.920 break the season in the quarters. They're approaching the final 0:42:57.000 --> 0:43:00.279 quarter of the season at then for this week and 0:43:00.480 --> 0:43:02.960 at New Orleans. The team who has really changed its 0:43:03.000 --> 0:43:08.320 identity uh playing pretty good defense, but they're rushing of 0:43:08.440 --> 0:43:12.480 football Alvin Kamaras taking the NFL by storm. Then a 0:43:12.560 --> 0:43:15.759 home game again on Christmas Eve against the l A Chargers, 0:43:15.960 --> 0:43:19.040 who are hard to say, who are competing for the 0:43:19.080 --> 0:43:21.759 a f C West title, and then you finish up 0:43:21.800 --> 0:43:24.319 with New yuh New England on New Year's Eve. What 0:43:24.360 --> 0:43:27.799 do you see quickly in thirty seconds as far as 0:43:28.320 --> 0:43:31.359 the final quarter to schedule, Well, it's it's always tough 0:43:31.360 --> 0:43:33.080 to play against the wing. But you don't you don't 0:43:33.120 --> 0:43:36.120 know if New England's playing for for um number one 0:43:36.160 --> 0:43:38.759 over our record for home for the bandage um going 0:43:38.800 --> 0:43:41.439 against Drew Brees. You know you talk about ingram as well, 0:43:41.680 --> 0:43:43.680 you know that one two punch is really you know, 0:43:44.320 --> 0:43:46.600 running the football is. It's gonna be tough, but you 0:43:46.640 --> 0:43:49.120 know this team is capable of beating anybody if they're 0:43:49.120 --> 0:43:53.960 willing able to put together four quarters of team football 0:43:54.239 --> 0:43:55.960 and make sure they don't turn over the ball. All right, 0:43:56.000 --> 0:43:59.680 come join us next week. That's all other victory Monday
