14
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: Hackett spoke on who he will talk to in what

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: will go into the decision of whether or not Russell

16
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: will play on Sunday. First and foremost, it's Russell, you know,

17
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: I want to be sure that I'm talking with him,

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: communicating with him, making sure that he's in a good mindset,

19
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: that he's in a good place that he can go

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: play high caliber football, and obviously the medical team is huge.

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: We want to be sure we do right by the doctors.

22
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: They're the ones that understand everything that's going on. And

23
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: then George Payton. I mean, those are really the people

24
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: that we're talking. So it's it's we're very open dialogue

25
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: and make sure we want to put somebody out there

26
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: that's healthy and can go out there and play at

27
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: a high level. Coachak it did say that all three

28
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are preparing this week. Of course, you mentally, they're

29
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: all getting ready to be able to play a football game.

30
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: They do that every single week. With the the idea

31
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: of practice. You want to try to get them all.

32
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: Unfortunately we don't have a ton of reps, but you

33
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: try to split it as well as you can to

34
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: get him prepared as a broncoser set to host the

35
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: Jets on a Sunday. Defensive coordinator jero E Verro spoke

36
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: on Jets quarterback Zach Wilson. The type of player he

37
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: is very talented. Uh, throw are very talented in terms

38
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: of his athletic ability. Obviously he's continuing to grow as um,

39
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of the knowledge of the game.

40
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, he's a very good player, and

41
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: you know he's picked number two or whatever for for

42
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: a reason, and so you know we've got a good

43
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: challenge ahead of us. An offensive coordinator, Justin Allen spoke

44
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: on the Jets defense, specifically what he's seeing from defensive

45
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: tackle Quinnin Williams. He's a dynamic player. He's starting to

46
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: get comfortable in the scheme. It looks like he's doing

47
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: a really good job of pre snap awareness, just kind

48
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: of seeing the offensive line their calls and their allignments

49
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: and their stances. You can tell he studies throughout the

50
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: week and does a great job prepping um and he's

51
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: just everything else. Athletically, he's he's a gifted player and

52
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: special teams coordinator Dwayne Stokes also spoke to the media

53
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: today and discussed Montreal Washington's muffed punt on a Monday night. Yeah,

54
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna spend a lot of time on that

55
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: play because I've been going through a lot of stuff

56
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: as far as the last three days reliving that play

57
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: and watching that play. So I'll put it like this,

58
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: there has to be better communication, has to be better awareness.

59
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: The punt was punched. Pun It straight up in the air.

60
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: It was probably four five four oh or five five oh,

61
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,839
Speaker 1: hang some some hang time around that. We just got

62
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: to do a better job making decisions, and we got

63
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: to do a better job as far as knowing where

64
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: the returner is. That's all I'm was it. And as

65
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: we wrap up the top news of the day, let's

66
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: take a look at today's injury report. A couple of

67
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: changes from yesterday. Inside linebacker Josie Jewel, defensive tackle Dj Jones,

68
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: and garden center Quinn Miners were limited at practice today.

69
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: Everyone else remains the same. Now, let's welcome New York

70
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: jetz team reporter Ethan Greenberg onto the show to take

71
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: a look at this week's matchup from the Jets perspective, Ethan,

72
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: nice to see you. Thanks so much for joining me today.

73
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. I appreciate it. Yeah. Absolutely. How's

74
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: it going up there in New Jersey? Well, one, the

75
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: weather is taking a turn, so from a selfish perspective,

76
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: very much looking forward to the seventy degrees in Denver

77
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: on Sunday. The team, I feel like there's obviously a

78
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: buzz when you're foreigned to that, it's kind of hard

79
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: not to have a buzz. Around the team, especially being

80
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: in such a big market. But I really think that

81
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: this team has come so far from the last time

82
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: they played, specifically in Denver last year in Week three.

83
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: Totally give and team. Although there are a lot of

84
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: returning faces, just there's been a lot of growth, I

85
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: would say, on both sides of the ball, obviously with

86
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: the and then outside of that, there's obviously been a

87
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: lot of additions on specifically defense with guys like DJ Reid,

88
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner, Jordan Whitehead, Marker's Joyner didn't play in last

89
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: year's matchup, So there's a lot of young, exciting talent,

90
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: but it's also flanked by some really cool veterans. So

91
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: the buzz right now in the Florham Park, New York

92
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: City area is definitely palpable even you know, you mentioned

93
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: the buzz out there. You guys are on a three

94
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: game win streak, haven't lost on the road yet this season.

95
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: What's kind of been the mood this week in the

96
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: locker room? How are the guys feeling out there? Yeah,

97
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: the mood in the locker room is to not get

98
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: complacent to your point three game winning streak, and a

99
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, before Zach Wilson came back, I

100
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: was talking to Joe Flacco and he said that when

101
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: a young team starts to get some confidence, that's when

102
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: things one can either play in your advantage or play

103
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: to your disadvantage in tur placency. And really it feels

104
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: like there's been a turning point for the Jets. If

105
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: you watch coach SLOs postgame speech after being the Dolphins,

106
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: he says, the messaging was very much, this is starting

107
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: to be expected from this team. Like it's not it's

108
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: not the postgame atmosphere where people are going crazy and

109
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: it's like any super Bowl, Like this is starting to

110
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: become an expected thing for the Jets. At least, that's

111
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: been the internal messaging. So moving on from Green Bay

112
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: into facing the Broncos this week, it's been how do

113
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: you build on top of that? How do you not

114
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: get complacent? How do you not let the winning like

115
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: infiltrate the hard work that you put in on a

116
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: weekend and week out. Basis right, you know, even I

117
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: want to look at that Green Bay game for a

118
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: little bit here, you know, specifically the defense. You know,

119
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: they've been pretty dominant so far to start the season.

120
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: Held the Packers last week to two and seventy total

121
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: yards ten points. What has really impressed you about that

122
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: unit so far? The front floor, the defensive line. You

123
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: know that with Robert Salad, Jeff Albrick, Aaron White commons

124
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: the defensive line coach, it all starts upfront. Quinnin Williams

125
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: was named a f C Defensive Player of the Week

126
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: for his performance, and he had one of, if not

127
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: his best game as a pro last week in Green Bay.

128
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: But what the Jets want to do is they want

129
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: to establish up front and they want to only do

130
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: it with four down linemen, similar to what Robert Saland

131
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: did in San Francisco with the forty nine. Like it's

132
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: two very different personnel packages. But what the Jets do

133
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: is they have four defensive linemen they start and then

134
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: they shuffle in another four, So they have different packages,

135
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: different looks, and they want to create a rotation that

136
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: basically keeps the players fresh. And obviously that's in focus

137
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: more this week than any other week given the altitude

138
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: at Mile High. So what the Jets want to do

139
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: up front is get after the quarterback. What's impressed means

140
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: that they've been actually able to do that very effectively

141
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: the past two games just with four lineman and that's

142
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: really opened up things. And obviously, when you have d J.

143
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: Reid and Sauce Gardner playing at the levels that they've

144
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: been playing at, the past rush and the past coverage

145
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: have really been working hand in hand, and that's the

146
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: goal for any team. It's really come together for the

147
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: Jets the past couple of weeks. So I think what's

148
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: impressed me most, to boil down to one specific thing,

149
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: is just the ferocity that the Jets defensive line can

150
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: play with Ethan. You mentioned Quentin Williams. You know, he's

151
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: had a really impressive start to his fourth season there

152
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: with the Jets. What do you think it's really clicked

153
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: for him? Maybe this year. One is that he didn't

154
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: suffer any injury last year in training camp he broke

155
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: his foot with that kind of seting back learning a

156
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: new system, so that extra time in the spring in

157
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: the summer that has definitely helped. Too, is the dedication

158
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: to his craft in the off season. If you look

159
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: at a photo of Quentin Williams the day he was drafted,

160
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: the Blessed You, Thank You day, you look at a

161
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: photo of him, you can just see how different his

162
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: body looks, and I think that a testament to him.

163
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: I think that's a testament to the hard work that

164
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: he's put in terms of nutrition, in terms of the

165
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: weight room, and you're starting to see that come to

166
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: fruition on Sundays, and that I think is the biggest

167
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: difference for him. Also that this is his second year

168
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: in the same system. So you mentioned or we talked

169
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: about the rotation a little bit. So when you factor

170
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: in the rotation, keeping him fresh, the nutrition in the

171
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: and the weight room attitude, and then also being in

172
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: year two, it's all kind of clicking for him right now. Well,

173
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: looking at this offense, Ethan, you know, Zach Wilson, he

174
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: hasn't lost a game since his return in week four.

175
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: What have you really liked about him and what are

176
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: some of your expectations for him on Sunday, you know,

177
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: going up against a released out Denver defense here. Yeah,

178
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: My thing with Zach Wilson in terms of what's impressed

179
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: me the most is he hasn't thrown for the most yard, right,

180
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: he hasn't liked thrown the ball all over the field,

181
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: but he's one made plays when the Jets have needed

182
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: him to. If you take a look at lastly, just

183
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: an example, he really wasn't finding a rhythm in the

184
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: first half, and then he finds Corey Davis on a

185
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: forty one yard play when the Jets needed the next play,

186
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: Brax and Fario scores the next possession, they block a

187
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: punt and score. That's a two possession swing. So really

188
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: Zack's attitude and then two is he's looked a lot

189
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: calmer in the pocket, and I think that you can

190
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: start you can see him going through his progressions a

191
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: little quickly compared to last year where maybe you were like,

192
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: oh that was that didn't look quite right. I think

193
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: that his calm feet in the pocket, his ability to

194
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: diagnose has been better than last year. Granted he hasn't

195
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: put up gaudy numbers, And in terms of this weekend,

196
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: I think this could be the jets toughest test to date,

197
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: specifically through the air, whether that's Joe Flacco or Zach

198
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: Wilson under center. When you look at who the Broncos have,

199
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: what they're doing, how well they're playing. So I'm really

200
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing how Zack Wilson responds this week

201
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: because last year in Denver the Jets were shut out

202
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: nothing and obviously there's a lot of returning faces on

203
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: that Denver defense. Even though there's some changes in terms

204
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: of personnel and coaching, I do believe that it looks

205
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: and Michael flud was just talking about it, this is

206
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: easily a top three unit in football. So to me,

207
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 1: that's what I'm looking forward to see how much better

208
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: is ak Wilson looks. It gets a very similar defense

209
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: in year two. Well, it seems like the Jets have

210
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: kind of really found their identity on offense, you know,

211
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: with running back Breese Hall and just their run game

212
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks. How has he really impressed you,

213
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: you know, with the start of his rookie season. So

214
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: Robert Sale talked about that the progression for Breese Hall

215
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: going from let's say a rookie to more of a

216
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: seasoned rookie was going to be. How he really it's

217
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: the whole and Breese Hall coming from Iowa State and

218
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: just being a different game in college. He was I

219
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: don't want to say like he was dancing a little bit,

220
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: but there was a little bit more We're like, okay,

221
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: you know, maybe a little more in decision and then

222
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: Robert Salis said, you know, the progression here is going

223
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: to be how decisive you are, and he like the

224
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 1: flip of a switch, just did it in a week,

225
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,599
Speaker 1: and I feel like you start You're starting to see that,

226
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: especially the past two weeks with the Rookie of the

227
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: Week belt with the FedEx Ground Player of the Week,

228
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: and you started to see that. And now the question

229
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: for the Jets is how are they going to respond

230
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: when teams start to cater Their defense is a little

231
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: bit to Breece Hall and Michael Carter, who also has

232
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: been having a very good season. So to me, the

233
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: most impressive thing has been how quickly Breese Hall has

234
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: picked up his vision. And you saw it at Iowa State.

235
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: But there's a learning curve coming to the NFL, but

236
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: I think how quickly he's progressed in that learning curve

237
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: has been the thing that's most impressive to me, specifically

238
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: with his vision. Well, Ethan, there's a lot to be

239
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: on the lookout for here in Denver on Sunday, I

240
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: really appreciate your time and your insight today. Awesome, Sydney,

241
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: thank you looking forward to Sunday. Yeah, see you then.

242
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: And before practice today we heard from a backup quarterback

243
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: Brett Rippon and got his thoughts on the potential of

244
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: facing the Jets again and how he's preparing for this

245
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: week if Russell is not able to go on Sunday,

246
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean they're obviously, you know, a

247
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: much different defense now, a lot of different guys. But

248
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: you know, obviously that was a very special night for

249
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: me a couple of years ago. And uh, you know,

250
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: if I got an opportunity again, that would be great.

251
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: Keep it the same, Um, you know, prepare like I

252
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: do every single week, and that's obviously to get ready

253
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: to play. And wide receiver kJ Hamler spoke on facing

254
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: this Jets defense. They got good defense. You know, my

255
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: boy Sauce Sauce from Detroit, same kind of same area

256
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: I'm from. That's my that's my guy. So, um, you

257
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: know he's been he's my ball and out lately. You know,

258
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: we just gotta gotta attack day defense. You know, we

259
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: gotta make plays. Um. You know, I think we got

260
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: a lot of playmakers on this offense that can go

261
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: out there and execute on every now, so who's gotta execute. Well,

262
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: that'll do it. For today's episode of Broncos now Broncos Country,
