Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick dropped the throw, looks right, bro Flint right end
Speaker 1: zone touchdown. Eric Decker runs a little dig and is
Speaker 1: on time from Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Jets strike first
Speaker 1: and opening touchdown drive to start the game. Live from Calandralus,
Speaker 1: Italian village and called Well New Jersey. It's inside the
Speaker 1: Jets on ninety eight point seven ESPN. Here's Larry Hardisty
Speaker 1: and Eric Allen. Good Monday evening, everybody, and we welcome
Speaker 1: you to the Ovechio Cafe here at Colandus, Italian Village
Speaker 1: and called Well New Jersey. Larry Hardisty, Eric Allen. We're
Speaker 1: here until lay the clock on nine eight seven ESPN.
Speaker 1: We'll take your calls tonight a little bit later in
Speaker 1: the show one eight hundred nine, one nine, three, seven,
Speaker 1: seven six will be joined by Quincy Innuma and also
Speaker 1: Ta Mario Davis. Yesterday was what I consider as close
Speaker 1: to a game where everybody played well all three phases.
Speaker 1: Defense was outstanding, offense was brilliant, especially in the first half.
Speaker 1: I guess what even specialty other than the missfield goal
Speaker 1: special teams. The converence was excellent. It was as good
Speaker 1: of a win as the Jets have had in the watch.
Speaker 1: It was a complete thirty minutes of play, no doubt
Speaker 1: about that, Larry. Uh. The Jets finished against the New
Speaker 1: York Giants, overcoming a ten point fourth quarter deficit to
Speaker 1: win a thriller in overtime. But we had talked about
Speaker 1: it last week, when where the Jets going to play
Speaker 1: a complete game. They entered this ball game with a
Speaker 1: two game winning streak, and a lot of folks during
Speaker 1: the week said, hey, this is your classic trap game.
Speaker 1: The Titans coming in here with the rookie quarterback and
Speaker 1: three wins. Marcus Mariota and the Jets came out, took
Speaker 1: care of business. That was a sign of a mature
Speaker 1: football team, a team that is growing, peaking at the
Speaker 1: right time. They went out and dismantled the Titans in
Speaker 1: the first half, five scoring drives. They take a twenty
Speaker 1: seven and nothing lead at halftime. They come up with
Speaker 1: the takeaway buster screen with the interception to Mario Davis
Speaker 1: who just entered. Looks terrific tonight. We'll look at this
Speaker 1: guy with the suit right now. But you mentioned special
Speaker 1: teams as well. Uh. They were moving to Mario round
Speaker 1: defensively a couple of times. I saw him at and
Speaker 1: they confused Marcus Mario's And then you mentioned special teams.
Speaker 1: The coverage units were tremendous. Quincy Andumla did a good
Speaker 1: job there in the first half, and the offense what
Speaker 1: I really liked. The balance was there against the Giants, Larry,
Speaker 1: the Jets had to pass to win, and that's great.
Speaker 1: They showed another aspect of their game and other facet
Speaker 1: that they can take care of. But against the Titans,
Speaker 1: it was all clicking. Chris Ivory rushed for over a
Speaker 1: hundred yards. They put a team away early. It was
Speaker 1: as complete as a third uh uh thirty minutes of
Speaker 1: play that you've seen from the New York Jets so
Speaker 1: far this season. They kind of coasted from there, you know,
Speaker 1: thirty to eight. But now you set yourself up your
Speaker 1: eight and five. Everybody at home who's listening right now
Speaker 1: is looking at the Kansas City Chiefs, is looking at
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. But Todd Bowle said it today, Larry,
Speaker 1: the only team that I'm rooting for is the New
Speaker 1: York Jets. Will look up at that end of the
Speaker 1: season and see where we are. But they're playing really
Speaker 1: well right now. You want to keep winning that's your
Speaker 1: job right now is to continue to win. Let's talk
Speaker 1: a little bit more about the offense, and before we
Speaker 1: talk about what Powell did. You mentioned Chris Ivory, the
Speaker 1: wide receivers again were spectacular, and Eric Decker and Brandon Marshall.
Speaker 1: But hey, I want to talk about the offensive line
Speaker 1: because the offensive line yesterday was outstanding. The time that
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick had yesterday and has had really for most
Speaker 1: of the season. He hasn't been touched. He has the
Speaker 1: white jersey almost all the time, no dirt on it,
Speaker 1: so he's been playing well, and that offensive line has
Speaker 1: been searching forward. They've done the phenomenal job. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: offensive line did play very well. We talked about it
Speaker 1: last week. Is the Titans do have a talented defensive front.
Speaker 1: They get after the quarterback. But Fits had time to
Speaker 1: throw and when he had to make early decisions, as
Speaker 1: we've seen from him throughout the year, that ball gets
Speaker 1: out of his hands quickly. You mentioned Decker and Brandon Marshall.
Speaker 1: Is there a wide receiver tannem in the National Football
Speaker 1: League better than these two right now? It you'd be hard,
Speaker 1: are you against? These two combined for twenty touchdowns? Now?
Speaker 1: Through thirteen games, that already ties the franchise highest season
Speaker 1: franchise high as far as those guys are concerned. Decker
Speaker 1: closing in on a thousand yards, Chris Ivory, you mentioned
Speaker 1: the run game. He goes for a hundred for the
Speaker 1: third time this season. He's closing in on a thousand
Speaker 1: yards for the first time in his career. The New
Speaker 1: York New York Jets now could have a three thousand
Speaker 1: yard passer, Ryan Fitzpatrick, two a thousand yard receivers, and
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker in a thousand yard rusher
Speaker 1: and Chris Ivory and oh, by the way, the defense
Speaker 1: is play well. The Roll Reeves comes back in the lineup,
Speaker 1: one of the NFL's finer cornerbacks, so you add him
Speaker 1: to the mix, and the Jets are relatively healthy with
Speaker 1: three games left in this season. Now they go to Dallas,
Speaker 1: a short week of prep. But uh, you know, you
Speaker 1: look at that a f C landscape, and we can
Speaker 1: talk about the Pittsburg Steelers, we can talk about the
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, we can talk about the injuries these
Speaker 1: teams are dealing with. The Denver Broncos are dealing with
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. They turned to Osweiler. You know, when
Speaker 1: is Peyton Manny going to come back back? Andy Dalton
Speaker 1: goes out yesterday. Now it's a j McCarron. And but
Speaker 1: for a Jets fan, you got Saturday night, let's see
Speaker 1: what the Jets can do against the Dallas Cowboys. Then
Speaker 1: you can look at Pittsburgh Steelers Denver Broncos clash on
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh. Yeah, absolutely so. Once again, as
Speaker 1: we said, the Jets know what they have to do,
Speaker 1: they know what's in front of them. Just win games
Speaker 1: and just think about this, Eric, they have already they
Speaker 1: have doubled the wind told it from last year. They've
Speaker 1: doubled their win total. And so already you've seen progress
Speaker 1: already that success your ultimate gold is going to be
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, and those guys aren't gonna uh, you know,
Speaker 1: rest on their laurels. Tob Bowls was asked about this
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. He said, they asked a
Speaker 1: reporter asked, if you guys don't make the playoffs, do
Speaker 1: you consider this season of failure? And he said yes,
Speaker 1: because this is a guy played eight season in the
Speaker 1: National Football League. He want to ring with the Washington Redskins.
Speaker 1: He was a defensive coordinator last year in Arizona, where
Speaker 1: that defense carried the Cardinals to the playoffs. So the
Speaker 1: bottom line is, yes, he wants to coach this team
Speaker 1: to the postseason, but on a bigger picture, on a
Speaker 1: macro level, this team did win fourth the four games
Speaker 1: last season, and Mike mccagnet did a tremendous job helping
Speaker 1: UH take her with this roster in the offseason. You
Speaker 1: think about the trades that he made in a span
Speaker 1: of a couple of days, acquiring Brandon Marshall from the
Speaker 1: Chicago Go Bears and then a day later getting Ryan
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick for a late conditional pick from the Houston Texans.
Speaker 1: Little did we know what Ryan Fitzpatrick was gonna give
Speaker 1: you this season, UH twenty touchdown passes. He threw three
Speaker 1: touchdown passes against the Texans, So now now he's up
Speaker 1: to a career high twenty five touchdown passes and the
Speaker 1: Jets draft, we can look about what mcagnan did in
Speaker 1: his first draft. Unfortunately, band news for the Jets today,
Speaker 1: Devin Smith UH suffered that I believe the A C
Speaker 1: L tear but and he's likely to go on season
Speaker 1: ending into reserve. But Leonard Williams had a sack yesterday,
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Moulden is playing more time. And then you talk
Speaker 1: about what this coaching staff has done with the veterans.
Speaker 1: Moe Wilkerson three sacks yesterday, Larry twelve on the season,
Speaker 1: Now that's a career high for him. Uh So, I
Speaker 1: think Todd Bowls has done a tremendous job and assembling
Speaker 1: his staff. He did a great job by getting a
Speaker 1: guy like Chan Gaily here who was out of the
Speaker 1: league for a year or two, but he came in.
Speaker 1: He really know, he really knows what to do with
Speaker 1: an offense. And then you pare him up with Ryan
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick and we see these guys working well together, and
Speaker 1: Todd Bowls and Casey Rogers yesterday they really had Mariota
Speaker 1: on his heels. And I can't wait to get to
Speaker 1: Mario Davis up here to talk about some of the
Speaker 1: looks they were given him, because I was confused just
Speaker 1: watching it on film. Well that's because listen, the Jets
Speaker 1: do their homework. They were ready, They knew what to
Speaker 1: expect from him. And when you look at how Marcus
Speaker 1: Mario has played he's really played. He hasn't played bad.
Speaker 1: He you look at his ability to run with the football.
Speaker 1: You look at his ability, and coming in they had
Speaker 1: the great status about what he's done against the Blitz
Speaker 1: and all the other stuff, and he's done well against
Speaker 1: that when he's seen it a certain way. Obviously the
Speaker 1: Jets showed him something they had not seen before. And
Speaker 1: the other thing about it, we find that he could
Speaker 1: catch the football yesterday, yeah, you know, and the guys
Speaker 1: are not gonna be had be with that. So that
Speaker 1: prevented the shutout. Right, So the Titans didn't get in
Speaker 1: the end zone on a halfback pass, but by and
Speaker 1: large that defense played so well. They continue to get
Speaker 1: off the field on third down, and conversely, the offense
Speaker 1: was really good on third down and they continue to
Speaker 1: convert in the red zone. Fits is always tough on himself, Larry.
Speaker 1: He scores twenty seven points in the first half, but
Speaker 1: he's still looking at those drives and I did with
Speaker 1: Randy Bullock field goals. I mean, bottom line is, though,
Speaker 1: you'll take twenty seven points in the first half anytime
Speaker 1: you line up. Jets did a number of good things.
Speaker 1: You mentioned bilal Paul before we see him being a
Speaker 1: factor each and every week in the past game. He's
Speaker 1: got explosive legs. You pare him up with Ivory right now,
Speaker 1: there's a lot to like about this football team as
Speaker 1: they head into Dallas and play against a Dallas Cowboy
Speaker 1: team that still has a lot of talent. Really struggled
Speaker 1: big time in the turnover department, last in the NFL
Speaker 1: and turnover margin, and they've been battling without Tony Romo.
Speaker 1: But the Jets will have to be ready for a
Speaker 1: spirited effort prime time. You know the Cowboys are gonna
Speaker 1: want to play while in they're in their house, and
Speaker 1: hopefully you can get this one and just you don't
Speaker 1: keep these winning ways alive. But this is the first
Speaker 1: three three game win streak of the Todd Bowl. Todd
Speaker 1: Bowls are It's amazing, Eric that Dallas is still not
Speaker 1: out of it. I mean, even with nine losses, they're
Speaker 1: still matter. I don't even want to think about that.
Speaker 1: Even I don't even want to think about unbelievable. Try

Speaker 1: When we return here at Collagos, Italian Village, we will
Speaker 1: talk defense. We will talk with Ta Mario Davis. That's
Speaker 1: next on Inside the Jets on ESPN. Back to throw
Speaker 1: Mario to under pressure, flips it right now, it's intercepted,
Speaker 1: picked up up muster screen, runs left of the party
Speaker 1: yard line, cuts it back inbounds inside the thirties. No,
Speaker 1: they'll say, stepped down right about the thirty five yard line.
Speaker 1: Now back to Inside the Jets on Nutty eight point
Speaker 1: seven ESPN. Here's Larry Hardisty and Eric Allen joined the
Speaker 1: New York Jets and the Institute of Culinary Education for
Speaker 1: season three of the Jets. Cooking School was presented by Chase.
Speaker 1: For more information, visits I see dot E d U
Speaker 1: slash Jets. All right, partner, let's bring in Jets inside
Speaker 1: linebacker Damario Davis. Who Tomorio Actually, maybe I should introduce
Speaker 1: you as Jets rush linebacker because he saw you playing
Speaker 1: an interesting position yesterday. As you guys definitely did confuse
Speaker 1: the young quarterback on a couple of those plays. Without
Speaker 1: giving away state secrets, how were you able to create
Speaker 1: some chaos upfront against the Titans. Well, every since the
Speaker 1: season started, I've been very impressed by Todd's third down package.
Speaker 1: He uses a lot of different people and a lot
Speaker 1: of different ways on third down, so it's it's hard
Speaker 1: for the quarterback to identify who the MIC is. If
Speaker 1: he can't find out who the MIC is, he can't
Speaker 1: set his protection. Um, and we're generally blissing maybe seventy
Speaker 1: eighty percent of the time. So UM, if we can
Speaker 1: create some kind of confusion, then it helps the bliss
Speaker 1: of the rush get home. Man. So UM, it's been
Speaker 1: like that every week. UM, and then it's just one
Speaker 1: of the weeks where it was really spot on the
Speaker 1: situation now where you guys are really comfortable with the
Speaker 1: package overall, and now more and more things start to
Speaker 1: get added to it where it really makes you even
Speaker 1: more comfortable with with what the scheme has been. UM.
Speaker 1: I mean at this at this point of the year,
Speaker 1: you're you're pretty comfortable and pretty set on UM. You
Speaker 1: know how things are going to operate. You know, coming
Speaker 1: into the year, you have a new coach, new staff,
Speaker 1: everybody's kind of feeling each other out, getting used to
Speaker 1: how things UM work. And I think now everybody kind
Speaker 1: of can anticipate what each week is going to bring UM.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that does make it UM a little more easy.
Speaker 1: And I think the coaches are still trying to learn
Speaker 1: the players or UM or we're still trying to learn
Speaker 1: the players and weeks prior. So it kind of made
Speaker 1: them a little hesitant UM to know how much they
Speaker 1: could throw with us and UM maybe they want to
Speaker 1: put in certain things, but they had to kind of
Speaker 1: pull back because you know that maybe they didn't think
Speaker 1: the player was ready. But now they know where they
Speaker 1: have in each player UM and it makes them more
Speaker 1: comfortable UM and what they can put in during the
Speaker 1: week tomorrow. What's the feeling like pre snap? Is there
Speaker 1: a sense of we got them? When the offensive linemen
Speaker 1: are trying to point out protections and the quarterback is
Speaker 1: kind of looking at examining and trying to figure out
Speaker 1: what's going on. Like you're saying, identifying the mic linebacker
Speaker 1: and you guys have four lots four which would be
Speaker 1: typical linebackers are customarily be playing a little bit off
Speaker 1: the line, but they're sitting right there at the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmers. What's so, what's the feeling like when you
Speaker 1: see the offense kind of scram on up front. Um,
Speaker 1: you never know, you never really know when you have
Speaker 1: them until the play happens and you get the sack.
Speaker 1: You know, it's never um a hundred percent like we
Speaker 1: got him. What you do get is to where you
Speaker 1: can understand how they're gonna block and who's gonna block you.
Speaker 1: And if you know who's gonna block you, then it's
Speaker 1: it becomes uh a lot easier versus like running into
Speaker 1: a wildfire. You're like, this guy's blocking me, so all
Speaker 1: I have to do is beat him and I can
Speaker 1: get home. Um, And then when you come to the sideline,
Speaker 1: everybody's talking. The D line is first is usually the
Speaker 1: first guys who realize who's blocking and their protection scheme,
Speaker 1: and once they know, it makes the game a lot easier.
Speaker 1: So maybe the first drive of the second drive is
Speaker 1: when they generally get a clue or inkland about who
Speaker 1: what what type of protections they're doing. But once the
Speaker 1: D line has it, they uh they passed that around
Speaker 1: information around everybody else and then we're pretty much set
Speaker 1: for our bliss. So has this has injuries made you
Speaker 1: realize just how deep this defense is, the fact that
Speaker 1: you guys have been able to go and you haven't
Speaker 1: really missed the beat, even though people have been out.
Speaker 1: The reef its has been out, but reached has been out.
Speaker 1: There's been guys out on the on the the linebacker
Speaker 1: in the D line spot. Do you realize just how
Speaker 1: deep this team is? UM? That was something that identified
Speaker 1: day one UM in training camp, you know, and I
Speaker 1: remember I remember earlier in training camp, me and Dave
Speaker 1: Harris was talking and we were just talking about the
Speaker 1: difference in this team is so much depth. We never
Speaker 1: had that before. UM. Every position is two and three
Speaker 1: dep you know, which which helps us out tremendously because
Speaker 1: what you need to be able to do is rely
Speaker 1: on that second and third guy to UH coming if
Speaker 1: somebody get hurts. But you also need to be able
Speaker 1: to bring in that second third guy. Maybe the number
Speaker 1: one guy doesn't match up as well with a certain
Speaker 1: type of receive or a certain type of tighten or
Speaker 1: a certain type of back where you can bring in
Speaker 1: UM a guy on a certain package, UM, depending on
Speaker 1: what type of look the offense is giving you. UM.
Speaker 1: So you know, being able to bring in UM those
Speaker 1: guys you know, off the sideline and those packages has
Speaker 1: really helped us to be more multiple where you uh,
Speaker 1: certain teams can't be as multiple because they can't rely
Speaker 1: on that second third guy like they want to. UM.
Speaker 1: And then of course when you have the injuries, you
Speaker 1: don't you don't miss a beat when you have guys
Speaker 1: who can play and have played, and um, you know,
Speaker 1: we don't just have guys on our on the sideline
Speaker 1: who who can play but have never played. We have
Speaker 1: guys who have proven that they can play on other teams,
Speaker 1: you know, and prove that they can play and starting roles.
Speaker 1: How much do you enjoy when you get the opportunity
Speaker 1: to rush the past or yesterday he came up with
Speaker 1: the sack and you also had a couple of quarterback
Speaker 1: hurries as well. UM yeah, I mean I'm always just
Speaker 1: trying to add to my game. Um, anything that I
Speaker 1: can do to healthy team, whether it's covering, what is
Speaker 1: being a box linebacker? Um, everybody likes to rest the
Speaker 1: rest of quarterback because it's very simple, just beat demand
Speaker 1: in front of you and then get to the quarterback. Uh.
Speaker 1: So that was an interesting dynamic. That was one of
Speaker 1: the first times my coaches used me in that role
Speaker 1: where I was just a primarily a pass rusher, and UH,
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it because, I mean, you kind of get
Speaker 1: into a game with the tackle, UM and just kind
Speaker 1: of um about it. You kind of get to learn
Speaker 1: what kind of moves he's trying to do to stop
Speaker 1: you and things like that. So it's interesting. It was
Speaker 1: very fun and you know, I hope they used me
Speaker 1: in that role again. That's the bunch of Damario Davis,
Speaker 1: Larry Harstein, ericallenliveat Collandras here on ninety ESPN. We're listening
Speaker 1: to Inside the Jets. You have the perfect vantage point
Speaker 1: to watch this offense. How it's progressed from the beginning
Speaker 1: of the season. We talked about it every week, how
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick just gets more and more in tune with his
Speaker 1: wide receivers and Decker and Marshall, the run game and
Speaker 1: everything from the defensive position. How good is this offense? Uh?
Speaker 1: Especial this year, A very special. UM. I lay with
Speaker 1: a lot of deep different types of offenses. But UM,
Speaker 1: the thing that they really have is chemistry, you know,
Speaker 1: and UM, that's that's You can have the weapons, you
Speaker 1: can have the pieces, but if everybody doesn't um compliment
Speaker 1: someone else or do something that compliments the system, then
Speaker 1: it's not gonna work. UM. I think I think Chan
Speaker 1: does a lot of different things. He understands his players
Speaker 1: and try to use them UM in ways to to
Speaker 1: to help UM to help exploit the defense. UM the
Speaker 1: way he uses uh Chris Ivory in the run game
Speaker 1: and and switches the speed up with bringing in Blau
Speaker 1: uh and run situations and pass situations. UM. And then
Speaker 1: when they start to crowd the box, you can't leave
Speaker 1: Decker and uh Marshall one on one, so it opens
Speaker 1: opens the past game. UH the way they use Quincy
Speaker 1: and blocking situations and and and uh low routes and
Speaker 1: over routes uh. And then how they were using Devon
Speaker 1: to to stress the team Berkeley like he uses uh
Speaker 1: uh those eyes and in ways that UM allows them
Speaker 1: to use your strength and it explores the defense and
Speaker 1: puts the defense and compromising positions. So the thing you
Speaker 1: never want to get into as a defense to me
Speaker 1: been defensive player, you never want to get into a
Speaker 1: situation where we're trying to stop one thing and they
Speaker 1: hit you with something else, and then you try to
Speaker 1: stop that and they hit you with something else once
Speaker 1: they Once you get in that situation is like quick
Speaker 1: slam and it's gonna go down here real fast. Um.
Speaker 1: So they can't figure out what you can tell that.
Speaker 1: The defense can't figure out who and what they want
Speaker 1: to take out of the game. You know, you try
Speaker 1: to take Ivory out of the game, and you're gonna
Speaker 1: leave the receiver's wide open. Um, and you try to
Speaker 1: take the receivers out of the game, You're gonna leave.
Speaker 1: You can't do that because you need people in the
Speaker 1: box to stop Ivory. In the season, he's having UM
Speaker 1: and I think Ryan Um deserves all the praise because
Speaker 1: you can have that, but it takes a guy who
Speaker 1: can manage that. Um. You can put a lot of
Speaker 1: people in that situation and they won't be able to
Speaker 1: manage it as well as he has. Especially these last
Speaker 1: three weeks, he's went to another level. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it was cutting a beard or what, but he's
Speaker 1: going to another level. Uh. But he's managing the game
Speaker 1: in a way that he has all my all my
Speaker 1: period to Mario, ifitzs Locker is right by yours over there,
Speaker 1: and if you enjoyed having him not just orchestrate the offense,
Speaker 1: but having him as a team man, and if he
Speaker 1: got a chance to, you know, uh, share a little
Speaker 1: bit with him throughout the year. Man. I admire him, Man,
Speaker 1: I admire him. He's a he's a football mastermind. His
Speaker 1: mind is always on football. Man. He you know, he
Speaker 1: graduates from Harvard and you know he's a brainiact. But
Speaker 1: when you listen to the conversation that he's having with
Speaker 1: these guys, um, it's unique to see that. You know,
Speaker 1: with his intelligence, he's still breaking the game down in
Speaker 1: a very simple, simple way. But he's always talking football.
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, you're in the training room listening to
Speaker 1: him and be Marshall talk. They talked for forty five
Speaker 1: minutes about two plays. But then you see, like from
Speaker 1: the conversation, you see that happened in the game, and
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, that's good to see. But his mind
Speaker 1: is always going and he has those conversations with all
Speaker 1: those guys, um And and you can just tell the
Speaker 1: level of respect that all the teammates have for him.
Speaker 1: And that's that's what you gotta have in the quarterback tomorrow.
Speaker 1: You mentioned the chemistry that this team has offensively. What
Speaker 1: about the chemistry you guys have defensively? And when I
Speaker 1: think about this defense. All you guys say every week
Speaker 1: we want to make them one dimensional. Well, the New
Speaker 1: York Jets have the best run defense in the National
Speaker 1: Football Weak. Yeah. Man, I mean that's a blessing. Um yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the chemistry goes a long way. We all
Speaker 1: we're all brothers with our family. Um, everybody is comfortable
Speaker 1: around each other. We joke on each other all the time.
Speaker 1: And I think that's the type of stuff that carries over,
Speaker 1: um onto the field. And then we know what we're
Speaker 1: gonna expect. Got to each player. Um, the big, the
Speaker 1: big praise uh for our run defense. Um, and you
Speaker 1: gotta contribute other guys. But um, the big difference is
Speaker 1: Damon Harrison. Um. You know I heard when our teammates
Speaker 1: talking about it. He was like, Damon makes it looks easy,
Speaker 1: but the nose tackle job is not. It's not easy
Speaker 1: at all. It's very hard. And I was coming from
Speaker 1: a guy who plays three techniques, so, um, what he's
Speaker 1: doing at the nose tackle position is uh incredible. He's
Speaker 1: making plays on stretch plays, on power plays, on um
Speaker 1: on die plays, and he's really disrupting the offense and
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do, which makes the game easy
Speaker 1: for backwards to flow over h makes it easy for
Speaker 1: three takes needs just to set the edge and um
Speaker 1: and then we have you know, great safeties who who
Speaker 1: are not afraid to come down and the run fit.
Speaker 1: So it just makes it very tough for guys to
Speaker 1: run the football on us when he's playing at the
Speaker 1: level that he's playing at tomorrow, have any early thoughts
Speaker 1: on Dallas. I know you haven't really start to break
Speaker 1: down yet, but any early thoughts on facing them. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a tremendous challenge. It's gonna be a tremendous challenge.
Speaker 1: They have a very good offensive line. They have guards
Speaker 1: and tackles who can run UM. So uh, when you
Speaker 1: face teams who can run uh stretch plays outside and
Speaker 1: press plays outside UM and and poor plays their guards
Speaker 1: can get down field. UM. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: guys saw the play uh last week what Collins was
Speaker 1: like thirty yards down the fielding and got a big
Speaker 1: got a big block on on on the safety for
Speaker 1: the Packers. I don't know if there was last week
Speaker 1: or a couple of weeks ago, but it was it
Speaker 1: was tremendous play. So their lineman can their lineman can
Speaker 1: really run. They have h good tight ends who they
Speaker 1: like to use win, Who's who's been tremendous in this
Speaker 1: who's had a tremendous career there, And um, you know
Speaker 1: they've got good receivers, Um guys who are making plays.
Speaker 1: They can run the ball really well. So I mean
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tremendous challenge just from looking at them.
Speaker 1: They do a lot of different things to keep defense
Speaker 1: on the toes. It's gonna be it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: challenge and pluses at their house. Um, and everybody knows
Speaker 1: that the Cowboy fans aren't going nowhere, so it's gonna

Speaker 1: back to Inside the Jets on ninety eight point seven ESPN.
Speaker 1: Here's Larry Hardisty and Eric gallantt you know, he ha
Speaker 1: most of the Jets. Bob with Susan had a fun
Speaker 1: game to broadcast yesterday. He was just yelling and screaming
Speaker 1: about big play after big play after big play. Was
Speaker 1: really it was really great to listen to him on
Speaker 1: the radio yesterday. High Ball highlights, Glora, let's bring in
Speaker 1: our next guest, Jets wide receiver Quincy and Noi quits
Speaker 1: Um one reception yesterday for yourself, two special team stops
Speaker 1: and the Jets rushed for a hundred eighty three yards
Speaker 1: and Larry, here's my thing. People asked middle of the season,
Speaker 1: what's happening with the Jets run game, and they kind
Speaker 1: of forgot that Quincy was away for a little bit.
Speaker 1: But he's come back and you're seeing the difference that
Speaker 1: he makes on the football field, Quitcy. How much of
Speaker 1: a groove a rhythm were you guys in rushing to
Speaker 1: football yesterday? Oh yeah, I think we did a really
Speaker 1: good job out there this week. Um. You know, we
Speaker 1: tried to get into from packages to kind of give
Speaker 1: the defense a different look. That's kind of one of
Speaker 1: the biggest things we try to do out there. You know,
Speaker 1: a lot of teams like to run in one uh
Speaker 1: formation most of the time. We try to switch it
Speaker 1: up and kind of give them a different look and
Speaker 1: uh make sure that we are kind of uh surprising them,
Speaker 1: you know, give them a little sense of surprise right there.
Speaker 1: Of course. And how excited were you when the coaching
Speaker 1: staff came to you and to give you an opportunity
Speaker 1: to be in a unique position and the challenge of
Speaker 1: leving that you're kind of like, you know, your wide receiver,
Speaker 1: you're blocking almost like a tight end. You have a
Speaker 1: chance to go out in coverage and and you're doing
Speaker 1: as a direk mentioned olier some special teams work. So
Speaker 1: how excited were you when you had that opportunity to
Speaker 1: be a unique cog in this offense? Oh? Yeah, I was.
Speaker 1: I was really excited. You know, this has been a
Speaker 1: dream come true for me. Uh, you know, just growing
Speaker 1: up high school, middle school, elementary school, you know, you
Speaker 1: always wanted to kind of get to this level and
Speaker 1: just to have an opportunity to help a team anyway
Speaker 1: I can. It's been really great for me. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: I really love the uh ability that uh that I've
Speaker 1: been given to kind of play a tweeter role, you know,
Speaker 1: go out there and block as well as received, and
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just kind of tried to make the
Speaker 1: most of it here. You're young guy in this league.
Speaker 1: When you see a teammate like Devin Smith go down
Speaker 1: a cl tear, Todd Bowle said it today that Jets
Speaker 1: are gonna likely have to put him on season Andy
Speaker 1: and to reserve. What kind of feelings do you have
Speaker 1: and what what do you say to Devin? Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's really really really disheartening, you know, for a guy
Speaker 1: that kind of started off really rough, you know, with
Speaker 1: a rib injury, and then to have this happened to him.
Speaker 1: You know, I kind of just told him to keep
Speaker 1: his head up. You know, he's a young guy with
Speaker 1: tons of talent, and uh, obviously, you know, we've been
Speaker 1: able to see a little bit of a talent this year,
Speaker 1: and I know he's been able to do He's able
Speaker 1: to do so much more than he has so you know,
Speaker 1: as long as he stays positive, he'll definitely have an
Speaker 1: opportunity to keep doing what he can do quartect How
Speaker 1: what's been the emphasis, what's been the work that working
Speaker 1: with Brandon Ares, working with Eric Decker? How's that head
Speaker 1: an effect on you and improving you, helping you work
Speaker 1: in your craft. Yeah, it's definitely been big for me,
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of having our opportunity to work
Speaker 1: with those two guys and really've done so much in
Speaker 1: this league, and especially Branding No ten years in the game,
Speaker 1: he's really uh honed his craft to really know just
Speaker 1: exactly what he needs to do on the field, and
Speaker 1: so for me, it's been good to just kind of
Speaker 1: pick off different things from him, pick off different things
Speaker 1: from Decker, and it's really helped me become a better
Speaker 1: receiver overall. Quits a year a guy who plays the position.
Speaker 1: When you watch Brandon and Eric, especially in the red zone,
Speaker 1: what stands out to you? How are these guys able
Speaker 1: to do it weekend week out, be so productive not
Speaker 1: only just catching the ball in between the twenties, but finishing.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, you know, they really work on our craft
Speaker 1: during the week and it really shows on the on Sunday.
Speaker 1: So you know, I really it's really a testament to
Speaker 1: their hard work. Um, you know when they go out
Speaker 1: there every week and work hard, and you know, they're
Speaker 1: kind of one of the hardest guys, hardest working guys
Speaker 1: on the team. And that's something that I've been noticing
Speaker 1: and I just kind of tried to like pick up
Speaker 1: different things from them as much as I can. Blocking
Speaker 1: it's key. We talked about it, Chris, every we talked,
Speaker 1: when we talked to the running backs all the time
Speaker 1: you gave, they talk about how appreciate that they are
Speaker 1: or receives blocking for them downfield. That's how they get
Speaker 1: their extre yardage. How excited do you with when you're
Speaker 1: able to block to see the running backs kid that
Speaker 1: three yardage? Oh, I'm really excited. I think that's one
Speaker 1: of my favorite things, you know when I'm out there, Uh,
Speaker 1: just to kind of see them busting big plays, you know,
Speaker 1: ten yards, twenty yards, dirty yards. Uh, you know, it
Speaker 1: kind of gets the offensive life. It gives a team life.
Speaker 1: And so when you can kind of help them do
Speaker 1: those type of things. You know, it's really, uh, one
Speaker 1: of those things that really gets the team going, to
Speaker 1: the crowd going, and that's always something that you want.
Speaker 1: Now with Devin out of the lineup, you play a
Speaker 1: lot as it is, but you think this is an
Speaker 1: opportunity for some other guys who are already getting Sometimes
Speaker 1: the guys like Jeremy Kerry Early and Ken Roll Tompkins
Speaker 1: Um too step up as well here with Devin out
Speaker 1: of the lineup, Um going down to stretch because you guys,
Speaker 1: Devin was getting a lot of run here lately and
Speaker 1: the Jets liked the way he had developed. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: definitely a good opportunity for guys like uh, especially Katie.
Speaker 1: You know, he's been a guy that's that kind of
Speaker 1: picked up some of the slack, you know, when I
Speaker 1: was gone, And I know he's a very talented receiver.
Speaker 1: So I know as soon as he gets his opportunity
Speaker 1: on the field, he's definitely gonna show out. Uh you know,
Speaker 1: I I heard you know, we're gonna try to go
Speaker 1: pick up somebody. You know, it's definitely gonna be very
Speaker 1: helpful to just kind of get somebody in the room
Speaker 1: to uh help with Devin's loss. You know, we we're
Speaker 1: we're all we're really down about him being injured. But
Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, this is how you know,
Speaker 1: the the NFL works, you know, so the next man
Speaker 1: has to come up and step up and do as
Speaker 1: much as he can. So, uh, you know, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do my best to help out, and I know everybody
Speaker 1: else will as well. We're talking to quickly and knowing
Speaker 1: what here inside the jets at Colandra's loverry hardesty and
Speaker 1: Eric Allen on nine yates every the ESPN quich you
Speaker 1: heard me ask uh da Mario Davis this from the
Speaker 1: defensive shot looking at the offense. Let me ask you
Speaker 1: about the defense When you face that defense every day,
Speaker 1: how does that defense improve what you do when you're
Speaker 1: builty to catch and and your builty to block. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's um, it's definitely something that uh, I've definitely appreciated
Speaker 1: a lot. You know, none of the guys can say
Speaker 1: that they face rivas every day from already every day
Speaker 1: bus just screen every day, Marcus Williams every day. You know. Uh,
Speaker 1: It's definitely helped me out a lot. And even now
Speaker 1: when we don't go against the defense as much. You know,
Speaker 1: you can still see, you know, the guys flying around
Speaker 1: making plays, you know, and I try to get on
Speaker 1: the scout team as much as possible, just so I
Speaker 1: can kind of get those reps against them, you know,
Speaker 1: so that when I get in the game, it's almost
Speaker 1: second nature to know how to beat a d D
Speaker 1: you know. Uh. At the same time, my lockers right
Speaker 1: next to Revas, so I always try to, you know,
Speaker 1: just kind of pick up small things from him, you know,
Speaker 1: what what what he's thinking about when he season receiver
Speaker 1: coming out him. And then on top of that, you know,
Speaker 1: you have the D line, you have the linebackers always
Speaker 1: getting pressure of making so many big plays, you know.
Speaker 1: So it's really good for us, uh, you know, hopefully
Speaker 1: we can keep that momentum going into the playoffs. If
Speaker 1: if Quinci, sorry, did you guys do anything different on
Speaker 1: special teams yesterday? Coverage wise? You got down there quick
Speaker 1: a couple of times. The rest of the guys did
Speaker 1: as well. You know, the kickoff coverage was phenomenal. Did
Speaker 1: Bobby April change anything up scheme wise? There was a
Speaker 1: matter of execution. It was definitely execution. I think you know,
Speaker 1: we tried to keep keep the same things that we've
Speaker 1: been doing. But this week we just tried tried to
Speaker 1: hone our craft. You know. Uh, I think past weeks,
Speaker 1: you know, we tried to do a little more than
Speaker 1: uh we needed to. This week, we really tried to
Speaker 1: keep it simple for us. You know, it was just
Speaker 1: kind of go out there and fly around and uh
Speaker 1: for us eleven guys that are on Kickoff. You know,
Speaker 1: we really just wanted to make a play. You know,
Speaker 1: we wanted to make a statement. Uh. You know, Uh,
Speaker 1: the past few weeks, the coverage to haven't been the greatest,
Speaker 1: so we really wanted to make sure that we make
Speaker 1: sure that people knew that we were here and we're
Speaker 1: gonna make some places the rest of this year. How
Speaker 1: tough is that? How tough is it being no special teams?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so different from your receiving job. It's
Speaker 1: so different. Yeah, honestly, you know, I really love special teams.
Speaker 1: I can't lie about that. Um. You know, it's really
Speaker 1: an opportunity for you to just have a one on
Speaker 1: one battle every every play, uh, you know, at receiver
Speaker 1: at uh, you know, there's a there's a few times
Speaker 1: where you know, you might not be able to just
Speaker 1: go against that one guy every time. You know, it
Speaker 1: might be his zone, he might have some help. But
Speaker 1: on special teams, it's just one on one physical battle.
Speaker 1: You know who's a better athlete honestly, and uh, obviously
Speaker 1: its keen helps. But you know when you go out
Speaker 1: there and you can just kind of run as fast
Speaker 1: as you want, you know, just to kind of get
Speaker 1: down the field and see who's gonna catch you, it's
Speaker 1: it's I don't know, it's just kind of exhilarating. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta have a special mentality teams. And you know
Speaker 1: what I liked from Quincy yesterday. Not only did he
Speaker 1: go down there, he make the tackles, but like the celebration.
Speaker 1: He showed the g yesterday, brought the guns out, flexed
Speaker 1: a little bit for the crowd. Got that life, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's one of the things that I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, back when I was playing in college at Nebraska,
Speaker 1: you know, we had a eighty thousand, ninety thousand, So
Speaker 1: just coming here to MetLife and seeing all these people
Speaker 1: in green, it's really just, uh, it almost brings you
Speaker 1: back to Nebraska and kind of makes me feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, I need to punk these guys up have
Speaker 1: some fun, you know, because I know they're ready to
Speaker 1: have fun. It's like, I am ut any early thoughts
Speaker 1: about Dallas coming up on Saturday. Um well, honestly, you know,
Speaker 1: I kind of take the time to watch the film
Speaker 1: when I get around Decker and b Marsh, you know,
Speaker 1: so I kind of want to wait till tomorrow, you know,
Speaker 1: when we when we sit around and really kind of
Speaker 1: pick pick each other's brains and kind of watch the
Speaker 1: film and see, you know who our opponent is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and how does a short week impact your preparation here?
Speaker 1: Like today is a Monday, and typically you guys might
Speaker 1: come in unless Coach Bowles gives you a victory Monday,
Speaker 1: which you've been getting a lot of lately. Uh knockout wood.
Speaker 1: That will continue here as we move forward. But can
Speaker 1: you kind of take us through the week now, because
Speaker 1: it seems like with everything sped up, a day like
Speaker 1: tomorrow is basically a Wednesday for the players. Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: So that's that's exactly what's gonna be, you know. So
Speaker 1: tomorrow will be a Wednesday, the next day will be
Speaker 1: a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and so on Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: so it kind of just has it kind of makes
Speaker 1: us focus that much more. You know, you don't get
Speaker 1: that extra day to kind of study the opponent, and
Speaker 1: you have to make sure that you're downed in every
Speaker 1: day when you come into work. Um, and so that's
Speaker 1: something we're gonna make sure we do, I know, uh offensively.
Speaker 1: You know, we might not put in as much in
Speaker 1: the package that we might use something from last week,
Speaker 1: you know, so we're just gonna try to use use
Speaker 1: as much as we can to kind of be this
Speaker 1: opponent coming up country. Thanks for a couple of minutes,
Speaker 1: Thanks for stopping by on your off day, and good
Speaker 1: luck against Dallas and the rest of the rest. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Thank you. Vando will try one week Football League on
Speaker 1: indul today home to more when is than any of
Speaker 1: the cycle the FanDuel dot Com for your free account.
Speaker 1: Now time for you to join us one hundred nine
Speaker 1: one nine three seven seven six e and I will
Speaker 1: take your calls. Next, you're listening to Inside the Jets
Speaker 1: one seven ESPN quick Snapping A quick path right cut
Speaker 1: by Marshall down the sideline across the fifty days at
Speaker 1: the forty fight Sideline thirty to the twenty ten five
Speaker 1: step for touch down Bryan Fitzpatrick. When the ball put
Speaker 1: in play caught the Tennessee Titans. Stone called the fleet.
Speaker 1: Now back to inside the Jets on ninety eight point
Speaker 1: seven ESPN, here's Larry Hardisty and Eric Gallen jumping over
Speaker 1: to the perfect setting for fund where friends find food
Speaker 1: and drink. It is the Madison Hotel that this Rod
Speaker 1: Steakhouse and g K's Red Dog located on Madison Avenue
Speaker 1: in Morristown. Inside the Jets here at Calandra's one day
Speaker 1: hundred nine one nine, three, seven seven six, I reckon
Speaker 1: and I read to take your phone calls, So we
Speaker 1: begin with IRA. It's that n Island. Are your first
Speaker 1: on inside the Jets. Hey, Larry, Hey Eric? Hell are
Speaker 1: you doing great? Good, good, great game yesterday in the
Speaker 1: last three reech actually really good stuff. But you know, Eric,
Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier about the special teams, the question that
Speaker 1: drew up, and uh, I think April made some changes
Speaker 1: in some of the personnel out there and he got
Speaker 1: more speed out there, and I think that was part
Speaker 1: of the improvement in the coverage. But you know, you
Speaker 1: just look at you. You mentioned the first thirty minutes
Speaker 1: of that game. The most fleet I've seen in quite
Speaker 1: a while. And offensively, I mean the way Jaily is
Speaker 1: mixing it up. And you know it's funny. When Pal
Speaker 1: was out of the lineup for three or four games,
Speaker 1: you can really see how much it hurt the offense
Speaker 1: because he just gives them a dimension. Now that teams
Speaker 1: you know, he's basically their third option because they don't
Speaker 1: play with a tight end, so he basically covered his
Speaker 1: for tight end. UH, the middle of the field, and
Speaker 1: really you just look at going forward, what's coming up.
Speaker 1: I think Alex could be real tough game Saturday night.
Speaker 1: I think that offensive line could be challenging. Listen, and
Speaker 1: you just got to step up, take care of business,
Speaker 1: and we'll see what it calls for at the end
Speaker 1: of the year. Just take care of your own business,
Speaker 1: winning games, and maybe we'll get lucky. Maybe somebody we're losing,
Speaker 1: we'll be playing, uh, first pick of the postseason. Thanks
Speaker 1: for calling, Uh. I agree with you that I do
Speaker 1: think Dallas is gonna present a number of challenges, and
Speaker 1: Demario Davis said as much right here. Has a lot
Speaker 1: of respect for their offensive line, talking about how those
Speaker 1: big guards can get out and pull. They can run
Speaker 1: to football Darren mcfenn. They do have a tight end
Speaker 1: and Jason Witten, who's one of the better receiving targets
Speaker 1: at that position in the National Football League. Does Bryant
Speaker 1: need I say more? Their defense has played well in spots.
Speaker 1: What I will say about the Dallas Cowboys though they
Speaker 1: are the worst team in the National Football League in
Speaker 1: the turnover department. They have only eight takeaways on the year,
Speaker 1: and I've believe they are minus fifteen and when that happens,
Speaker 1: you don't win football games. And right now Dallas has
Speaker 1: struggled throughout the season. The Jets aren't gonna overlook them.
Speaker 1: I know that for a fact. You heard De Mario
Speaker 1: talking about them right now. I ever brings up a
Speaker 1: good point about blow on offense, But right now, I
Speaker 1: think everybody's kind of in a rhythm, and it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter who it is. Quincy A noon Wa who just
Speaker 1: joined us up here and on set. He he's a
Speaker 1: guy who stepped up and made some receptions for this
Speaker 1: ball club. We've seen Jeremy Curley do it at times
Speaker 1: as well. Ken Brolton Tompkins is also gonna be counted
Speaker 1: on the Jets could add another receiver, but Chris Ivory, Billah, Paul,
Speaker 1: Eric Ducker, Brandon Marshall. You com buying all those guys
Speaker 1: with the way Fits is playing, and you get complimentary
Speaker 1: um additions along the way, you're in good shape. A
Speaker 1: couple that with this defense, Dallas has a smaller so
Speaker 1: if the Jets can run the football to continue to
Speaker 1: pound them as you get later in the game, they
Speaker 1: tend to wear it down a little bit of the
Speaker 1: games that I've watched them, so things may be easier,
Speaker 1: maybe easier later, but I think it's something we have
Speaker 1: to build on. And listen, once again, this is a
Speaker 1: Jet team that's doll the phenomenal job in the red zone,
Speaker 1: and the defense has been able to get off the
Speaker 1: field for the most part, especially in these last couple
Speaker 1: of games on third down. If they continue with that combination, listen,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough game, but the Jets are
Speaker 1: gonna be tough to be. Todd Bawls and Casey Rogers
Speaker 1: have been tremendous on third down. They have teams off
Speaker 1: balance when they're in third and long, and the Jets
Speaker 1: continue to get off the field. I will say this
Speaker 1: these guys. They we talked to a couple of them tonight.
Speaker 1: You'll listen to Todd Bowls each and every day. The
Speaker 1: Jets are not looking ahead. With that being said, I
Speaker 1: was talking about, Hey, maybe this team needs some luck.
Speaker 1: I will say this that if if the Jets, which
Speaker 1: they have a lot of work to do, if they
Speaker 1: went out, I think they will get it. I don't
Speaker 1: know how the tie breaking scenarios work, Larry, because bottom
Speaker 1: line is, things happened in the National Football League. A
Speaker 1: lot of things happened. There's so much football left to
Speaker 1: be played. If the Jets went out, they put him
Speaker 1: themselves in great position at eleven and five. That's the
Speaker 1: bottom line. They got to take care of what they
Speaker 1: can control that they can control how they play. Let's
Speaker 1: go to Corey and pot keeps you on line one,
Speaker 1: core you go next on inside the Jets. Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: how are you doing tonight? What's up Corey? Hey? I
Speaker 1: love the show. Um, I just want to talk about
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick. What a great guy he is and what
Speaker 1: a leader he's been for this New York Jets team.
Speaker 1: And I couldn't be any happier than half him as
Speaker 1: my quarterback. This year. All right, Corey, thanks for the
Speaker 1: phone call. Listen. He has gotten progressively better. And remember
Speaker 1: we weren't sure he was insurance when he was obtained. Derek,
Speaker 1: he was a guy that was brought in. He had
Speaker 1: the leg injury at the start of camp, didn't get
Speaker 1: a lot of reps, had to wait till he got healthy.
Speaker 1: And then you can see what the situation with Geno Smith.
Speaker 1: He comes in, he steps right up and he just
Speaker 1: played well. And the thing that when I talk to
Speaker 1: Jet fans and even fans who aren't Jet fans, the
Speaker 1: thing that they talk about is his toughness, his ability
Speaker 1: to run, his ability to not slide all the time.
Speaker 1: Even though the coach listening ran out of bounds yesterday,
Speaker 1: so that's a good time. Uh So, just his toughness
Speaker 1: is the thing that just impresses everybody. You know what
Speaker 1: bothers me when people talk about the quarterback position in
Speaker 1: the National Football League, as they say, you need an
Speaker 1: elite quarterback. And then I asked him, well, who do
Speaker 1: you think is elite? And they say, well, Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady. Well, how many teams are in the
Speaker 1: National Football League They're thirty two, So what do you
Speaker 1: consider elite. Some people will say Drew Brees is the elite.
Speaker 1: Some people you know Peyton Manton. Now Cam Newton has
Speaker 1: led the Carolina Panthers to a thirteen and old record.
Speaker 1: He's doing some tremendous things. But before this year started,
Speaker 1: nobody would have said, hey, Cam Newton's up there in
Speaker 1: the upper echelontic quarterbacks. They would have said he's a
Speaker 1: talented player. The bottom line is you can win playing
Speaker 1: complimentary football, and Ryan Fitzpatrick is a good quarterback. Period.
Speaker 1: He is a good quarterback. He has thrown twenty touchdown passes.
Speaker 1: With four more touchdown passes over the next three games,
Speaker 1: he will tie Vinny Testaverdies franchise record, which is twenty
Speaker 1: nine in the season. The caller talked about the leadership qualities.
Speaker 1: We just heard to Mario Davis talk about this guy.
Speaker 1: He's always talking football. He knows the system inside and out.
Speaker 1: Jane Gaily working with them four years now, he's been
Speaker 1: able to acclimate himself with new surroundings, and what he's
Speaker 1: done with Marshall and Decker in their first year together
Speaker 1: has been nothing short of incredible. Those guys are talented
Speaker 1: football players. But he's never played with them before. Just
Speaker 1: the ability of what he did by moving Decker into
Speaker 1: the slot on some packages and then moving in from out,
Speaker 1: going back into slide and they're going back and forth outside. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, Quincy talked about it, and Gaily
Speaker 1: mixes things up different personnel packages. The Decker touchdown the
Speaker 1: first touchdown the Jets got yesterday to take a seven
Speaker 1: nothing lead over the Tennessee Titans. You know what Brandon
Speaker 1: Marshall was. He was on the sideline. He was on
