1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Ryan Fitzpatrick and you are listening to

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: the e A Podcast with Eric Allen. Take it away,

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: Thanks fitz, Let's bring our quarterback here on the podcast.

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: That's Chet Penny Tin Chad. What a performance by the

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: New York Jets offense in Western New York. They take

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: down the Bills thirty seven to thirty one, nearly five

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: hundred yards a total offense. What did you think about

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: the A four mentioned Ryan Fitzpatrick thirty four three seventy

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: four with the touchdown, He played a near flawless ball game. Well, Eric,

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: I think it's the best game he certainly had since

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: he's become a Jet. I just felt that in all

12
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: facets of quarterback play, he was on it, and he

13
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: made great decisions, was very efficient with his completion percentage,

14
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: pushed the ball down the field. Not only pushed the

15
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: ball down the field, but had numerous completions of big plays,

16
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: and so receiving groups stepped up may play after play

17
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: seemed like anytime the Jets needed to play, passing games

18
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: stepped in for them to make that play and change

19
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: field position. And then when you tack on the running

20
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: game with it, I mean it was a solid well

21
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: rounded performance by the office. All Right, everybody's got to

22
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: be listening to the Jets podcast net work, because you

23
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: previewed this ball game and you told us the Jets

24
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: have to make plays down the field vertically early, and

25
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: they did just that. That completion the Quincy andon on third,

26
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: third time and that first possession. How big was that? Well,

27
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: I think it gives your offense, uh, boost of energy,

28
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: a little bit of confidence, especially on the road, gives

29
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: you some breathing room, changes field possession, uh, field position immediately,

30
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: and so it's just one of those things where now

31
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: you build off of that, where typically in the past,

32
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: you know, the Jets versus Rick Ryan Bill's defense had

33
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: just been struggling to get things going and it just

34
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: feels like it's just a long drawn out process. And

35
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: so to be able to do that and score on

36
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, four consecutive drives, I mean, it was really

37
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: impressive and uh, it's something that the Jets thought feel

38
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 1: good about. I think offensive coordinator Chan Gailey has got

39
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: to feel delighted by what he's getting out in the noon.

40
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: On that first drive, not only did he have the

41
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: big reception down the sideline, he also converted another third

42
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: down and on another key play he drew holding penally

43
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: on Gilmore. There, So Quincy helped the Jets get gone

44
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: in this ball game and he finished with a career

45
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: high ninety two yards receiving. Well, there's no question, and

46
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: I think that that is such a huge booze for

47
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: the Jets offense, for the staff to know that they

48
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: have a solid number three and Quincy is a different

49
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: type of number three because he presents that challenge for

50
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: defense on do you treat him as tight end there

51
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: hum as a receiver? Do you have to be very

52
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: um situational specific on how do you treat him? Because

53
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: they can use him in so many different ways with

54
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: his size and capability, and so to see him now

55
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: come the forefront and make some big plays in the

56
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: passing game, it really bodes well from Jets. What does

57
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: this mean for the quarterback out there? Ryan Fitzpatrick? The

58
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: size with those top three targets you have had when

59
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: you played, you had some good targets and their own

60
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: right when you're thinking about guys like Lavernius, Cole Santana, Moss,

61
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: Wayne Kerbat, but they were all under six ft or

62
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: well Lavernius, Yeah, they're all I'd say Lavernius is not

63
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: even six ft, but he played like six too. But

64
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: when you look at Marshall, Decker and now que those

65
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: are all big guys. And what does that mean for

66
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: you as a quarterback? Well, first of all, it uh

67
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: gives you confidence that you don't have to be perfect.

68
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: Typically when you can talk into a smaller regrets a

69
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: smaller target, which between Jack Orcy has to be even

70
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: greater with a bigger target, you know the physicality in size.

71
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: If they play big with these three receivers do gives

72
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: you a bigger target and so if you missed a

73
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 1: little bit, it still can be a completion. Um. I

74
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: also think that with these three receivers and then you

75
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: had in Jalen Marshall's with the fourth receiver, Now Fitzpatrick

76
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: can really focus on just being an equal opportunity quarterback,

77
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: meaning that he doesn't have to force the ball to

78
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: anyone's receiver or any certain part of the field. He

79
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: can truly take drop back, make a true read of

80
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: the play has been called by coach Gailey, and deliver

81
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: the football confidence regardless of where it goes. This is

82
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: the Jets podcast Network. You're listening to the e a podcast.

83
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: I'm joined weekly here by our quarterback Chad Pennington, and

84
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,799
Speaker 1: also we get some analysis from the mad backer part Scott.

85
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: And also you gotta listen to Laces in a podcast

86
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: I do here with fellow team reporters Ethan Greenbury and

87
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: Alex Jaimal. Chad, what do you think that when meant

88
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: to write Fitzpatrick going back to Buffalo against a team

89
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: UH and a person specifically in Rex Ryan who's gave

90
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: him some problems in the past, and then everybody was

91
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: reminded him all week of what happened last January when

92
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: the Jets had a playoff berth on the line and

93
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: they couldn't finish there, that's had the three interceptions in

94
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Well, I think it UH gives him

95
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: somewhat satisfaction. I think Ryan is experienced enough to know

96
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: that one game or one opponent, you know, not goinging

97
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: to complete his season. But it just gives him another

98
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: sense of confidence knowing he's crossed that hurdle. Not only

99
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: did he crossed that, he knocked it down and just

100
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: flattened it with his performance. And so I think he

101
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: builds upon this. Andsot does the offense, and Soot does

102
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: the team knowing that they are really starting to look

103
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: like a team that can that can contend for a

104
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: playoff position. I don't necessarily agree with Derek Decker, who

105
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: in another fine game, he said that where a team

106
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: that is going to rely on our defense for most

107
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: of our wins, but some days like Thursday, the offense

108
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: is going to carry us. Don't you think this offense

109
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: has the potential to be one of the better units

110
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,559
Speaker 1: in football? Or am I overreacting after two games? Because

111
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: I've seen these guys at work now and with the

112
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: emergence of a noon wah, and also we're seeing what

113
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: Matt for take and bring to the table as well,

114
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: I think this offense can take another step in two

115
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen. Well, I completely agree with you, Um,

116
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: I would have to um also disagree with Eric and

117
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: respectfully disagree with him. I think that this offense has

118
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: the ability to be a top offense in the league,

119
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: to be extremely productive and to carry the torch. Um.

120
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: And when you look at the last two games, Um,

121
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: they've been have to do that, and they just came

122
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: up just uh, just a little bit short in the

123
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,679
Speaker 1: opening game against the Bengals and really came up big

124
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: against the Bills, and so they have the opportunity, they

125
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: have the talent, the scheme. This is a really good,

126
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: solid group of offsets of players that could be a

127
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: great offense if they stay healthy and continue to build

128
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: upon the foundation that they said. Todd Bowls said, big

129
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: time players make big time plays and big games. And

130
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall goes down in the first half, and Jets

131
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: Nation held their collective breadth, held its collective breath as

132
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: he accident went there into the tunnel, got some medical evaluation,

133
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: and then like he as well as Reid moment came

134
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: back onto the field and right off the bat Marshall

135
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: wanted the ball. What does his competitive level bring to

136
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: this team? Well, it's it's important that when your best

137
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: players are also your most competitive players and your toughest players,

138
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: that really sets the tone for the team. It's one

139
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: thing to have a gritty player that made us be

140
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: an average player and he's tough. But when your star

141
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: players are tough and they show toughness and determination and

142
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: fight through injuries and things, that's always good for the

143
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: attitude of the team. And Brandon has done that, and

144
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: I thought it was really impressive in the passing game

145
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: last night, that a lot of these balls that were

146
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: completed down the field were actually contested balls that the

147
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: Jets wont and and a lot of times when you

148
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: look at the film, the receiver was not just wide open.

149
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 1: The defensive back was right there in a position to

150
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: make a play and run had confidence in his receivers

151
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: to make those plays, and the receivers made the place.

152
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: And so that's that's really good. That's that's NFL. That's

153
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: professional football right there at its finest. Defensively, for the

154
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: second consecutive week, the Jets had some problems in the

155
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: secondary with big plays. What do you think they have

156
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: to do here as we move forward to get that

157
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: all cleared up and they move on. As they move

158
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: on here in the week three, well, they have to

159
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: continue to make sure that they are eliminating busted coverages

160
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: as individuals have to continue to work on their technique

161
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: and one on one situations. When you have a scheme

162
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: where you're going to pressure the quarterback and defensive act

163
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna be putting on one on one situation, you

164
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 1: have to win those one on one situation. Similar to

165
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills where they lost those one on one

166
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: situations as a defense last night. Uh. And so when

167
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: you're in a defense like that where you're not going

168
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: to have a lot of help, it's not gonna be

169
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: bracket and double coverage on a lot of receivers. You've

170
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: got to make sure that you win most of those battles,

171
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: knowing that they're the offense is gonna win some of them.

172
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: But uh, like we said, UM last week before on Monday,

173
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: before the game, we said that it would be down

174
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: to turnovers and big plays, and unfortunately, the defense gave

175
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: up two big plays that that was a fifty plus

176
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. If you take away those two

177
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: big plays, Um, you have a better performance and you

178
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: feel much better about it. And the great thing about

179
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: that is is that that still can be fixed. And

180
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: so UM, knowing that, knowing what they have, uh, those

181
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: things can be remedied and make sure that it's taken

182
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: care of. Do you think the team showed some resilience

183
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: there in the second half? They came out guns ablaze

184
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: and take that twenty two seven lead. The Bills get

185
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: a late field goal before the half, it's twenty to time.

186
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: Then Tyrode does something that we said he couldn't do.

187
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: He got out of the pocket and in that scrambled

188
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: mode found Greg Salis for touchdowns to wanted to seventeen.

189
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, the next possession, Jayla Marshall fumbles

190
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: the football. It's returned the other way by a Bill's

191
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: corner into the end zone and the Jets are all

192
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: of a sudden trail in twenty four to twenty in

193
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: a game for the most part they had dominated. Do

194
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: you like the model they showed by responding to that, Well,

195
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: there's no question, because that was the time to sold

196
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: and a time to uh kind of your wounds, so

197
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: to speak, and fought would and crawled back into the show.

198
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: And they did not do that. And so that was

199
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: that was exactly what I was watching once the Bills

200
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: took the lead twenty was how the offense would come

201
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: back and respond. And that's called playing complimentary football. Uh,

202
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: defense has given up a couple of plays, offense gives

203
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: up a turnover for a touchdown. How do you compliment

204
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: each other and make a big play and change the

205
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: momentum Because when you look at the stats up into

206
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: that point, it's not even close between the Jets and

207
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: the Bills. And who should be winning. But a couple

208
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: of plays here and there, you have a team that

209
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: should not be winning that is winning, and so how

210
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: do you respond to that? And they responded in tremendous fashion. Yeah,

211
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: Marcus Williams with an interception on a third one plays

212
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: the Bills take a shot after the Jets had regained

213
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: the lead, and then Sheldon Richardson came up huge on

214
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: that fourth and one play as the Bills try to

215
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: get it with Shady McCoy, but Sheldon showed his sheer

216
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: power and also his fight. They're getting awful block and

217
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: making sure Shady didn't get that one yard and that

218
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: was that was a good um stretch for the defense.

219
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: And really when you look at the game, they didn't

220
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: give up a whole lot. It's just a couple of

221
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: plays that were touchdown plays that were huge for them

222
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: that change the momentum and kind of steers the score

223
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: into a different direction. But based up on the staff,

224
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: I mean when you look at third down, the Jets offense,

225
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: they were fantastic on third down. The defense was really

226
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: good on third down, and so they were or some

227
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: really good things to hang your hat on. And that's

228
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: why I say that the things that that we're disappointing

229
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: are still things that can be corrected. When you're talking

230
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: about a quarterback scramble and the cover's breaks down or

231
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: big plays like that one on one covers, those types

232
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: of things. Uh, those things can certainly be corrected. You

233
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: mentioned Forte. I said it was a workman like effort.

234
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: Guy finishes with dirty carries and bottle it up really early.

235
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: For the most part, he finishes with a hundred yards

236
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: and scores three times on the ground. Shed Well, he's

237
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: impressive if you watch him. I love the way he

238
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: runs the football. Um. He when once he finds that

239
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: one scene, he reminds me of Curtis Martin. When he

240
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: finds that one scene, he hits it. There's no dancing

241
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: in the whole. He's getting positive yards even when there's

242
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: not a lot there. He's making sure that's not a

243
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: negative yard explay. He really understands how to run the

244
00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: football effectively, and he's very patient and so he's gonna

245
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: drs that are there. And then when he finds a

246
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: crease his touchdown run towards the end of the game

247
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: where he finds the crease but the Jets up by

248
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: two scores. I mean, that's quintessential Forte right there, to

249
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: be able to put his foot in the ground, cut

250
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: off the backside blocker, and go straight north and south

251
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: into the end zone. What do you think the fans

252
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: should take away from the offensive lines? For two weeks

253
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: we see James Carpenter go out against the Bills, Wesley Johnson,

254
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: a reserve lineman, comes in and plays left guard. Uh. Also, uh,

255
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: we know the alternating at right tackle continues with Bun

256
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: Aigelana or brunt quality. But through two weeks, no matter

257
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: who's been in the game, it seems these guys have

258
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: holed up and late I really like the way they

259
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: run the ball in the second half. Well, when you

260
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: watch the last two games, there hadn't have been any

261
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: glaring weakness or glam mistakes that have shown up. You've

262
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: seen an offensive line who has played together, who has

263
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: at least stayed in front of their defenders for the

264
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: most part. And that's that's really the name of the games.

265
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: When you talk about the running game, at least cover

266
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: up the defender to where now the running back has

267
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: a two way cut and he'll make you right most

268
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: of the time. And so they've been able to do that.

269
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: They haven't had any huge negative yardist plays and sacks

270
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: and things like that, and so it's really been a

271
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: team effort with the run game as well as the

272
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: past game Fitzpatrick getting rid of the football receivers making

273
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: plays and the offensive line keeping the quarterback clean. Uh,

274
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: they've they've been solid, and it's been impressive because you,

275
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: like you have said, some moving parts and there still

276
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: are moving parts. Are essentially playing six linemen for five positions,

277
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: which is very, very difficult to do. But that is

278
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: certainly a tribute to those six guys of being versatile

279
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: and being able to step in and play any time

280
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: their number is called. Just how critical was that victory

281
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: for the Jets now that they've moved to one on

282
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: one They beat Buffalo team who were beating up five

283
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: straight Chad who ended their playoff hopes last season, and

284
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: also now you're one and all in the division, and

285
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: oh yeah it's a road win too. Well, like I said,

286
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: you know, I thought the Bengals opening game was huge

287
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: before the Jet um, but this game was definitely hit.

288
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: That's fair of the season. Uh was that an apex?

289
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: I think early and I know it's early and I

290
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: know there's still fourteen games to play to go oh

291
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: into such a difficult hole. Um and now with it

292
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: being a Thursday night game and you get a win,

293
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: you essentially have a buy weekend where players can get healthy,

294
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: you can remain fresh mentally, and then take these next

295
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: four games. We said at to begin the season the

296
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: six game stretch was relatively difficult. So now that they

297
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: came out of the gates there one on one, they've

298
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: got a mini buy so to speak, for these next

299
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: four games. They can really focus in and and hunting

300
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: on these four games, which is a difficult stretch. Can

301
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: we clarify something about Ryan Fitzpatrick's arm strength, because you're

302
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: the perfect guy to talk to about this that everybody

303
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,239
Speaker 1: talks about. What Ryan Fitzpatrick is not that he's not

304
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and he's not been Roethlisberger, But that doesn't

305
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: mean he can't be one of the top upper rationalone

306
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in this league. He's not gonna be Tom Brady,

307
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: we all know that, but surrounded by this personnel, I

308
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: think he proved some points Thursday by getting the ball

309
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: down the field a number of times, uh against a

310
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: Bill's defense that they're at him till you know. Coach

311
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: Parcel has always said that quarterbacks grated on three things. First,

312
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: you gotta hit what you're aiming at, meaning you have

313
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: to be accurate. Second, you have to avoid disasters, meaning

314
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: you have to make good decisions to keep your team

315
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: out of negative place and turnovers. And three you have

316
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: to get your team in the end zone. And those

317
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: three things of that Hall of Fame coach, there's nothing

318
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: about arm strength. And my question team I want to compare.

319
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: He's not an Aaron Rodgers or there's only one Aaron Rodgers.

320
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: Nobody's Aaron Rodgers, but Aaron Rodgers. Nobody has been Roethlisberger

321
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: in the league, but being Roethlisberger. So uh to sit

322
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: there and say that, well he's not this or that

323
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: nobody else is either, And you have to respect what

324
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: he's been able to do with his skill set and

325
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,239
Speaker 1: a type of performances that he's been putting together. And

326
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: last year's performance in a full season was extremely respectable.

327
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: And now he is really in a good place right now,

328
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: both mentally and physically. It's a quarterback this roster when

329
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: you look at it and you've seen it through two weeks,

330
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: and I don't want to, and you're not gonna do it.

331
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: We got the perfect person not to overreact. But looking

332
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: at the way they played in the first two weeks

333
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 1: and and taking into account offense, defense, and special teams,

334
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: this to me looks like one of the better rosters

335
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Well, it certainly has the potential.

336
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: I think the great thing about the NFL is that

337
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: it's so versatile and so competitive. That can change in

338
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: a matter of days and weeks and then within one week,

339
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: and it can all change based upon injuries and things

340
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: like that. But as far as starting off and feeling

341
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: good about where your team is, I think Jet fans

342
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: need to feel good about that. They should. I know

343
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: I certainly do. And and now that I've seen the

344
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: performance that we saw it last night in Buffalo with

345
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: the Jets offense, I think these next four games, where

346
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: it looked extremely daumping at the beginning of the season,

347
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: I think these next four games, although it's difficult, it's

348
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: certainly a challenge that this team to handle, and there's

349
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: no reason in my mind why they could not come

350
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: out of this uh six games stretch at four and

351
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: two or even a five and one and put together

352
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: five straight wins. They are capable of doing that. They

353
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: certainly are. Whether or not it happens or mains be seen,

354
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: but there's no question that they can come out with

355
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: the winning record after six games. We'll put yourself in

356
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick's shoes this weekend. Did you get away from it all?

357
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: Do you you got five kids? Just like yourself? He's

358
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: got a number of You know, fitz he's got five kids.

359
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: You're always busy with your sons? Or do you watch

360
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: Kansas City on Sunday? Do you give yourself a break?

361
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: What do you do? Well? I think that's all you

362
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: know up to the individual. Um. Typically, even when it's

363
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 1: early in the season, you may not get away from

364
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: all because you still early and so you don't you

365
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: don't feel like you're in and grind yet because of

366
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: the newness of the season. But he may do that. Um.

367
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: We're all different in how we reactive respond to those situations.

368
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: But I'm sure he will at least pay attention um

369
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: to what's going on around the league, including the Chief.

370
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: And I know that this team has got to be

371
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: excited for this challenge. This is another big challenge for

372
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: them that they're quite capable of taking on and and uh,

373
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: now they have ten days to prepare for that, so

374
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: that's certainly within their favor. If you're a Jets fan,

375
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna pay special attention to that Dolphins Patriots game.

376
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: I know it's very early in the season, but you know,

377
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: just looking at the schedule and where the Pets are at.

378
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: We're scoring that huge win over Arizona last week. I

379
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: got Jimmy Garoppolo at quarterback. Rob Gronkowski started off inactive

380
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: for the Patriots to be interesting. If the Dolphins can

381
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: put up a flight this weekend, it is and I

382
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: think that a f c S fans and Jet fans

383
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: will be watching that game. And I think the Dolphins

384
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: are very capable of going up and scoring the upset there. Um,

385
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: they played a very competitive ball game against the Seahawks

386
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: in Seattle, which we all know the difficult place to play,

387
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: and I don't have to score at the end of

388
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: the game to beat the Dolphins, and so and Dolphins

389
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: can play that type of defense that they played in

390
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: in Seattle, and then the offense can get going with

391
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: coach Gates and Ryan Tannehill. Uh, they certainly have an

392
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: opportunity to go up into Foxborough and and beat them.

393
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, you have to get over

394
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: the fact that you're playing the Patriots. I don't think

395
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: if you walk in there thinking that this is a

396
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: different week, I think you're already beaten before you started.

397
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: You need to go in and say, this is another game.

398
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: This is an an FC East opponent. Um, yes, they

399
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: had a big win, but all of these teams are

400
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: capable of being beaten on any Sunday, And even in Foxburgh.

401
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: The three wins that I was lucky to be a

402
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: part of against the Patriots, they were all in Foxboro,

403
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: so they can be beaten there and this isn't certainly

404
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: a big game for Dolphins. You're listening to the e

00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: family as well as what it how it helps develop

429
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: young men and young boys with the great lessons that

430
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,680

436
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: interested in getting into the grind of professional college coaching.

437
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: And we will keep it simple and keep those checks
