Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Official Jets Podcast powered
Speaker 1: by Amazon Web Services. Ethan Greenberg, Eric Allen here and
Speaker 1: the bed MGM studio. Jets are all in four after
Speaker 1: the first quarter of the season, and E. A and
Speaker 1: I will basically be taking a dive from a broad level,
Speaker 1: like a thirty thou foot view as to where the
Speaker 1: Jets can go, what went wrong, what they can correct,
Speaker 1: kind of analyzing like a state of the Union in
Speaker 1: a way. And then Bart Scott joins us later in
Speaker 1: the podcast for the Victor Knox Swiss Army Knife Player
Speaker 1: of the Game as the Jets take on the Cardinals
Speaker 1: in Week five. Bart Scott has a doctorate in football.
Speaker 1: The way he breaks down x's and os, it's going
Speaker 1: to be a must listen and a must watch for
Speaker 1: people who take in the Official Jets Podcast throughout the year.
Speaker 1: So you want a game preview, he's going to break
Speaker 1: it down like very few can. And also we're gonna
Speaker 1: get Anthony Becked involved in this segment throughout the two
Speaker 1: thousand twenty season, so I think fans are really gonna
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I don't want to give away too much,
Speaker 1: but when Bart Scott starts dissecting how to defend someone
Speaker 1: like Kyler Murray and how to game plan against him.
Speaker 1: You really get an appreciation for strategy and really the
Speaker 1: intricacies of football that maybe you don't necessarily get just
Speaker 1: watching the game. Well, that's the thing that's overlooked with
Speaker 1: bart Scott. A lot of people thought, Hey, he's got
Speaker 1: a big mouth, he runs hot all the time. And
Speaker 1: with that being said, he didn't have a temper and
Speaker 1: he and he played hard and he went a hundred percent.
Speaker 1: I think that overshadowed what a cerebral assassin that guy
Speaker 1: was because on Sundays or Mondays or Thursdays, whenever you
Speaker 1: were playing, he knew exactly how an opponent was trying
Speaker 1: to attack him. He also was a wonderful team player.
Speaker 1: He's a guy wo take on the guard and free
Speaker 1: up the space for a linebacker to make a tackle,
Speaker 1: and he was always ready to suit suit it up.
Speaker 1: But he was a guy who just loved being in
Speaker 1: the classroom and it came easy to him too, And
Speaker 1: he was an extension of the coaching staff. So I
Speaker 1: think fans again, uh, the people who are in New
Speaker 1: York to get a chance to listen to him every day.
Speaker 1: But I think this is a little bit of a
Speaker 1: different segment that we're offering here, and Barts got to
Speaker 1: your point, he basically just play chess. You know, he's
Speaker 1: a chess player in terms of his knowledge on the
Speaker 1: football field. But let's talk about where this Jets team
Speaker 1: is now and where they can go. They're owing four,
Speaker 1: Like I said, after the first quarter of the season,
Speaker 1: questions are surround Sam Donald whether or not he can go.
Speaker 1: He's got the shoulder spraying, so we'll see if he
Speaker 1: can play Sunday against the Cardinals. We're recording this Monday evening.
Speaker 1: But what do you make of the first four games?
Speaker 1: And really that Denver game we haven't discussed a whole lot.
Speaker 1: Jets had a good opportunities and penalties more than more
Speaker 1: likely than not negated. Really a very good opportunity for
Speaker 1: the Jets. The cap alies on and now when you
Speaker 1: look at the next four games, they have some tough
Speaker 1: matchups ahead. A disappointing start this season. Everybody in this
Speaker 1: building is going to say the same thing, and nobody
Speaker 1: is using injuries as an excuse. A lot of teams
Speaker 1: dealing with a major injuries and hopefully Sam Donald can
Speaker 1: make his fifth consecutive start here Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 1: If he doesn't, then it's Joe Flacco. And this is
Speaker 1: exactly why the Jets brought in Joe Flacco, because we
Speaker 1: talked about it throughout the offseason. The Jets are oh
Speaker 1: in six in games. Sam Donald has not started here
Speaker 1: early in his career. I thought, even though it was
Speaker 1: a loss, it was a loss to a team that
Speaker 1: was led by an undrafted quarterback in Brett Rippon making
Speaker 1: his first NFL start, there work some good things out there. Um,
Speaker 1: you talk about the takeaways, he scored, defensive touchdown, you
Speaker 1: scored your highest output throughout the year. But you didn't
Speaker 1: do enough things to win and the team. Adam Gates
Speaker 1: said it before we four, we have to get over
Speaker 1: the hump. Well, the Jets climbed up the hell a
Speaker 1: little bit, but then they got knocked down. You can't
Speaker 1: have eleven penalties this team right now, the way it's
Speaker 1: currently constituted, any team much any team for that matter,
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You have eleven penalties for a hunter
Speaker 1: and eighteen yards, you're probably gonna lose. What is an
Speaker 1: interesting dynamic with that game, was you go plus three,
Speaker 1: you score defensive touchdown, you don't turn the football over,
Speaker 1: and you still lose. Offensively, you're moving the ball a
Speaker 1: lot lately against Indianapolis against San Francisco was in the
Speaker 1: first half. Well, you saw the Jets moved the ball
Speaker 1: throughout the game for sixty minutes against the Broncos. But
Speaker 1: they got to get better in the red zone. If
Speaker 1: they continue not to execute and finish with touchdowns, they're
Speaker 1: going to continue to go home with losses. I think
Speaker 1: I think the Denver Ronco's game, he saw bits and
Speaker 1: pieces keep improving, like chipping away at the mountain and
Speaker 1: climbing the mountain, to use your analogy, but he couldn't
Speaker 1: get over the hump because when the Jets needed to
Speaker 1: put the ball in the end zone, they settled for
Speaker 1: field goals. Sam sam Ficken went five for five on
Speaker 1: a positive note, but you saw off how with Sam
Speaker 1: Donold and his touchdown run, which was awesome. And then
Speaker 1: as the Jets kept storming down the field, slowly but surely,
Speaker 1: they kept settling for field goals and then the penalties
Speaker 1: come there come into play, and really, what I think
Speaker 1: is not mind boggling, but something that really hurts the
Speaker 1: Jets in terms of the penalties. So Broncos had five
Speaker 1: scoring drives, not touchdown scoring drives, but they had five
Speaker 1: scoring drives. One of them was the Melvin Gordon run
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, to the other four
Speaker 1: were extended because of Jets penalties. So you think about
Speaker 1: roughing the passer face mask like, those are the types
Speaker 1: of pet realties that put the Broncos from deep in
Speaker 1: their own territory and potentially having the Jets get the
Speaker 1: ball back with decent field position and too then having
Speaker 1: the Broncos put up six you just can't have them, um,
Speaker 1: you know. And there was a time late in that
Speaker 1: fourth quarter where the Jets is scortswall un answered points
Speaker 1: and they had a lead. And then Quinn and Williams,
Speaker 1: who played well against the Broncos with the interior pass rush,
Speaker 1: he got his hands on ripping, but unfortunately he got
Speaker 1: the face mask penalty that kept a drive alive. And
Speaker 1: it felt like when the defense had opportunities to get
Speaker 1: off the field, the self inflicted wounds kept on appearing.
Speaker 1: And again, the Jets have to be more of a
Speaker 1: disciplined football team. In the second quarter of play. They
Speaker 1: have to play better complimentary football, and they have to finish.
Speaker 1: I know, we keep harping on the Broncos game not
Speaker 1: only because it was the most recent, but also because
Speaker 1: you kind of got a glimpse of the different problems
Speaker 1: that Jets had had in different weeks before. Like one
Speaker 1: week is penalties and it was not putting the ball
Speaker 1: in the end zone. So before we hear from Bart
Speaker 1: Scott e a, where did the Jets go from here
Speaker 1: to ensure that they don't make the same mistake over
Speaker 1: and over again in this next quarter of play. Well,
Speaker 1: you gotta find what works inside the towanta and you
Speaker 1: gotta go back in the lab and then mini buy
Speaker 1: that was good for this team right now is zero
Speaker 1: four because even opportunity to do a self scout and say, okay,
Speaker 1: well maybe these things would work better for us. The
Speaker 1: other thing is the Jets are getting a little bit healthier.
Speaker 1: Let's see how healthy they possibly will be later in
Speaker 1: the week. We're thinking about names like Levan bal Bashade, Perrinman,
Speaker 1: Denzel Mems offensively, uh Blake Cashman on the defensive side
Speaker 1: of the ball, and there's some other names out there.
Speaker 1: You're hoping that offensive line is intact and everybody's ready
Speaker 1: to go, and Donald, of course, you really want Donald
Speaker 1: to play. But when you look ahead to week five,
Speaker 1: you're playing an opponent that's two and two. And I
Speaker 1: know they were kind of a chic pick in the NFC,
Speaker 1: but the Cardinals have not looked good the last two weeks.
Speaker 1: They struggled at home against the Detroit Lions, lost that game,
Speaker 1: and then they weren't really in the ballgame against Carolina.
Speaker 1: The Panthers had their way with them, and it is
Speaker 1: a talented club, but they're trying to find their way
Speaker 1: to and you have the advantage of a team coming
Speaker 1: east again for that early start, So we'll we'll see
Speaker 1: what the Jets have in store for them. But I
Speaker 1: think the extra prep should help the Jets, and the
Speaker 1: extra days should help some of these guys on the men.
Speaker 1: And speaking of the Arizona Cardinals, now let's hear from
Speaker 1: Bart Scott and let's head to our Victor Knox Swiss
Speaker 1: Army Knife Player of the Game segment. Now it's time
Speaker 1: for our Victor Knox Swiss Army Knife Player of the Game. Bart,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna come to you first. Basically, you can choose
Speaker 1: a player or a matchup that is critical to the
Speaker 1: Jets success on the field against the Arizona Cardinals. M
Speaker 1: For that, I would probably say Marcus may because I
Speaker 1: expect him be to be close to the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to be the spy against Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: and his Sonanigans in space, and you want somebody as
Speaker 1: quick as well that can kind of match his movements
Speaker 1: and listen, this young man can embarrass you. But if
Speaker 1: I gotta say anybody wound jest defense that can stay
Speaker 1: with him, stride for stride and still be strong enough
Speaker 1: stout against Kenyan Drake in the in the box, I
Speaker 1: want to go with my man and Marcus may Hey,
Speaker 1: I like the spy right there, and that was an
Speaker 1: area I thought of going that direction. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with whoever is covering DeAndre Hopkins because the Jets
Speaker 1: have to double him. Bart Scott, you have to double
Speaker 1: him and say have somebody else beat us, because Hopkins
Speaker 1: is by far Kyler Murray's number one receiver and it
Speaker 1: seems like he's been a little bit lost when he
Speaker 1: hasn't been able to get the ball to his top target.
Speaker 1: And DeAndre Hopkins leads the NFL thirty nine receptions. But
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna go with the Jets offense. I'm going
Speaker 1: with the offensive line, whether Mackay Beckton is healthy playing
Speaker 1: on that left side and George Fan on the right
Speaker 1: or whoever plays if one of those two guys are down,
Speaker 1: I want to go with an offensive lineman against Chandler
Speaker 1: Jones because I think Chandler Jones rather quiet start to
Speaker 1: the two thousand twenty season. Guy had nineteen sacks last season.
Speaker 1: He's only had less than double digit sacks twice in
Speaker 1: his career, and that was two years of his first
Speaker 1: three professional seasons. And Bart, I'm just curious, what's your
Speaker 1: take on Chandler Jones. It doesn't feel like he gets
Speaker 1: a whole lot of national love, but when you look
Speaker 1: at the numbers, feels like he should be His name
Speaker 1: should be said in the same breath as the elite
Speaker 1: pass rushers in this league. We talk about the elite
Speaker 1: pass rushers. You're talking about Khalil Mackie, talking about Von Miller.
Speaker 1: He's right there with every single one of them. But
Speaker 1: the problem is the Arizona Cardinals are out there on
Speaker 1: the West coast. Since the West coast bias. Their their
Speaker 1: games are really seen because they have not been a
Speaker 1: good football team for the last couple of years. But
Speaker 1: his numbers in his productivity is there, and you know,
Speaker 1: you look at them now, it seems like they have
Speaker 1: their quarterback of the future, they have their coach of
Speaker 1: the future, and now they're moving forward. You know, they
Speaker 1: made a big move for you know, for Hopkins, and
Speaker 1: you look at what they did draft and Isaiah Simmons.
Speaker 1: Now they're they're stout on the defensive side of the ball,
Speaker 1: and you know, they still have the greatest course, one
Speaker 1: of the top five receivers in the history of the game,
Speaker 1: and Larry Fitzgerald who probably only has um twelve or
Speaker 1: thirteen drops in his career. So when you think about
Speaker 1: this Arizona receiving corps, you think about shut handedness that
Speaker 1: if it's thrown up there, that they're those guys are
Speaker 1: gonna come down with it. That's why I'm imperative that
Speaker 1: they make sure that they keep DeAndre Hopkins out of
Speaker 1: his rhythm and somebody's gonna get the hard one on one.
Speaker 1: With the other elite ride receivers that they have, the
Speaker 1: Cardinals had a lot of leaks in their defense against
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers and Teddy Bridgewater moved the
Speaker 1: ball at Will Bart we go back to the other
Speaker 1: side of the ball. You mentioned Larry Fitzgerald. Why are
Speaker 1: the Cardinals right now struggling to get the ball vertically?
Speaker 1: It seemed like everything against Carolina was horizontal. Well, you
Speaker 1: gotta think. You talk about DeAndre Hopkins, and one of
Speaker 1: the knocks on DeAndre, if it is any, is the
Speaker 1: fact that he's not really a deep threat. You think
Speaker 1: about Andre Johnson, all the great you know, receivers that
Speaker 1: were sure handed and tough and one of those balls.
Speaker 1: He's not one that takes the top off the defense
Speaker 1: because he doesn't have great long speed. So he's not
Speaker 1: like Terik Hill, he's not like Hollywood Brown, He's not
Speaker 1: like the Sean Jackson. He's not like one of these
Speaker 1: vertical guys. But he is is a guy that gets
Speaker 1: those in between fifteen and seventeen y are routes, you know,
Speaker 1: where they're the band gates. More of the plexical birds,
Speaker 1: you know, death by a thousand paper cuts. But he
Speaker 1: does is he keeps the change moving and he can
Speaker 1: get his sploses. But it's closest for him or twenty
Speaker 1: yards or more. He's not a guy that's going to
Speaker 1: take a slant and take it to the house like
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, you know. So with that being said, they
Speaker 1: want to try and get the ball in hands. Are
Speaker 1: trying to let him do the work opposed to trying
Speaker 1: to go vertically. Part let's wrap up with this talk
Speaker 1: about DeAndre Hopkins warmed up. I'm sorry. Next time, we'll
Speaker 1: have you on for longer. But in terms of your
Speaker 1: matchup Marcus May against Kyler Murray, maybe this question extends
Speaker 1: more than Marcus May, But how do the Jets defense
Speaker 1: approach stopping someone like Kyler Murray who's very elusive and
Speaker 1: he's not only fast, but he's really quick as well,
Speaker 1: and he's very, very very short over the defense. So
Speaker 1: what you do is what we used to always do
Speaker 1: with Michael vick As you distort his vision because you
Speaker 1: know he can't see over the top, so he has
Speaker 1: to see through lanes. So what you do is you
Speaker 1: run you know what we call tom games with the
Speaker 1: two tackles crossing, or you run you games where you
Speaker 1: run the end up and you bring the outside linebacker
Speaker 1: underneath into the eight gap and what he sees is
Speaker 1: he sees color and every hole. So what he would
Speaker 1: have to do is to make he would have to
Speaker 1: move so he can see. That slow him Donald for
Speaker 1: being able to decipher what the defense is. He can't
Speaker 1: see the rotation of the safeties and you put them
Speaker 1: on the move and you give him an exposed edge,
Speaker 1: and that's the edge in which you put Marcus May.
Speaker 1: And Marcus May is going to have to be a
Speaker 1: high percentage tackler in space because we're gonna flush him
Speaker 1: to Marcus May. So you do that by running all
Speaker 1: these games because he can't see over the defense, and
Speaker 1: that's something that we learned from Michael Vick. And actually
Speaker 1: the person who gave Rex that idea was Randall Cunningham,
Speaker 1: who could see over the defense. But he said that
Speaker 1: he needed the same lanes that he ran through, the
Speaker 1: same ones that he threw through. So what you do
Speaker 1: is you close all the initial um lanes to throw
Speaker 1: through to make him have to buy time and make
Speaker 1: these off schedule plays to move towards left wars right
Speaker 1: so that he can see if you indeed spy Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray with Marcus May and Ashton Davis is healthy. Two f's.
Speaker 1: Would you employ a lot of three safety looks against
Speaker 1: the Cardinals? Uh? E A, You've been spoiled a little
Speaker 1: bit because you're use to the Spartan package, right with
Speaker 1: Eric Smith. You know, it was an honor Eric Smith
Speaker 1: to get one of our better playmakers in space out there.
Speaker 1: But the guy still that was also tough enough that
Speaker 1: if somebody, if a running back came through there, that
Speaker 1: he would bless him as well. So you absolutely want
Speaker 1: to do that because really essentially what you do is
Speaker 1: when you have one on one side, then if if
Speaker 1: Kyla goes to the opposite side, now he can't. He
Speaker 1: had to walk through a lot of trash. What we
Speaker 1: used to do, and I hate saying we, but what
Speaker 1: we used to do on some of the defense that
Speaker 1: I had and I remember coming on is a very
Speaker 1: special player Sam was Reggie Bush. And what they would
Speaker 1: do is they were running read screen with him, they
Speaker 1: would take the tight end and they were standing in
Speaker 1: your way and then they would swing him. So then
Speaker 1: it's a pick play. And then now you gotta try
Speaker 1: get over the top to try and talkle Reggie Bush
Speaker 1: in space as you're chasing them. So what we did
Speaker 1: is we took our two safeties. Wherever side that he
Speaker 1: decided to go to, that safety inserted right. So like,
Speaker 1: if you got two safeties, if he comes here, this
Speaker 1: guy inserts. If they come here, this guy inserts, and
Speaker 1: this guy becomes a free whole player. So if you
Speaker 1: take two guys, you you have both sides. Now you
Speaker 1: have them cornerball both sides. Whichever side of your sides
Speaker 1: to escape. That's the guy who has the the acc
Speaker 1: and the other guy replaces in the hole. It looks
Speaker 1: for anybody coming on those horizontal rocks, so that maybe
Speaker 1: Kyler doesn't see him on the other side. And that's
Speaker 1: how you steal some mom some interceptions. But they're just me.
Speaker 1: But I'm not the defensive coordinator. I just hold the time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, Bart Scott given a glimpse into
Speaker 1: how defenses create a game plan and how they execute.
Speaker 1: On Sunday's Bart, that was our Victor Knox Swiss Army
Speaker 1: Knife player for the game. Thanks lot, We'll see soon
Speaker 1: Swiss Army Knife. I could be that he, like we
Speaker 1: talked about earlier, Bart Scott dissecting and basically giving a
Speaker 1: game plan to how to stop Connor Murray. It's very
Speaker 1: interesting to hear him talk about it. But I want
Speaker 1: to circle back to something you mentioned. The guys on
Speaker 1: I are the guys who are eligible to come off,
Speaker 1: like levy On Bell, like Denzel Mims, like Vincent Smith,
Speaker 1: Patrick Kwasso, even somebody that we haven't heard a lick
Speaker 1: about since training camp started. That's Jabari's an Ega and
Speaker 1: this receiving Corps in particular with the addition of Mims
Speaker 1: and Vincent Smith and recently Jeff Smith coming back, and
Speaker 1: then also the offense is a whole with levy On.
Speaker 1: Really what stands out to me is the speed that's
Speaker 1: currently on I are that could come back and help
Speaker 1: this offense, particularly Sam Donald. Well, it's a good point
Speaker 1: about the speed because Seawan Jefferson talked about it in
Speaker 1: training camp when we have the opportunity to speak to him,
Speaker 1: and Heinz Ward mentioned it too. One thing that jumped
Speaker 1: out to those guys was the speed of this group.
Speaker 1: And people might be, you know, a little bit skeptical
Speaker 1: when we're talking about this, but Vincent Smith is a
Speaker 1: sub four four guy. Brashad Perriman is a sub four
Speaker 1: four guy. Denzel Mims is a sub four four guy
Speaker 1: Jeff Smith. I don't know if he's sub four four,
Speaker 1: but he's at least four four fast and at seven
Speaker 1: catches for eighty one yards, and the Jets were really
Speaker 1: high on him. So, uh, if you have the opportunity
Speaker 1: to get some of these guys back, I think possibly
Speaker 1: that will open something's up in the middle of the
Speaker 1: field and the short and intermediate routes as you continue
Speaker 1: to attack vertically and some of these guys can get
Speaker 1: down the field. Unfortunately, listen Denzel Mims talking about fighting
Speaker 1: an uphill battle. Guy did not have any training camp practices,
Speaker 1: so I don't know what they expect from him. I
Speaker 1: know the Jets really like what he possibly can bring
Speaker 1: to the table because Sam Donald talks about his explosion
Speaker 1: in and outer routs and he's a big guy, and
Speaker 1: we saw Perryman flourished down the stretch last year with
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Vincent Smith, you mentioned him before.
Speaker 1: He can not only help you offensively, but maybe on
Speaker 1: special teams. So we would all love to see what
Speaker 1: this offense looks like with most of those guys back.
Speaker 1: Similar to men, you don't really know what to expect.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of feeling the same thing towards Vincent Smith,
Speaker 1: because he came to the Jets last season, had a
Speaker 1: few splash plays and you saw the speed on kick return,
Speaker 1: you saw the speed on the end around. And this
Speaker 1: was supposed to be a training camp where I would
Speaker 1: have assumed he would have received a lot of first
Speaker 1: team reps. Those reps then went to the other Smith,
Speaker 1: that Jeff Smith, because Vincent Smith got hurt. So I'm
Speaker 1: interested to see what Vincent can bring to this Jets
Speaker 1: offense with potentially more of an increased role. But speaking
Speaker 1: about Jeff Smith e A. I was really impressed that
Speaker 1: Jeff Smith, with really no regular season practice, was able
Speaker 1: to get called up from my r have eighty one
Speaker 1: yards on seven receptions, and I thought that they weren't
Speaker 1: just like gimme plays, you know. He wasn't like running
Speaker 1: wide open over the middle of the field. There were
Speaker 1: some plays where he came back and snatched the ball
Speaker 1: out of the air, and Sam Donald went to him
Speaker 1: quite frequently. I thought, I to somebody that I don't
Speaker 1: know if there was a chemistry there before hand. Now
Speaker 1: Donald would be finished with six carries for eighty four yards.
Speaker 1: He does three third down conversions and the opening drive
Speaker 1: you mentioned before that was the longest run by a
Speaker 1: quarterback in Jets history, in franchise history, if you go
Speaker 1: back to nineteen six when the Jets where the Titans.
Speaker 1: I actually thought Donald at times did a very good
Speaker 1: job in the pocket and getting out of the pocket.
Speaker 1: And his most impressive throw and one of the most
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say one of his most impressive throws throughout
Speaker 1: his three year career was that sideline toss when he
Speaker 1: got out on the right hand side and through it
Speaker 1: about twenty five yards down the field to Jeff Smith.
Speaker 1: But to your point about Smith, he doesn't look like
Speaker 1: somebody who was a former college quarterback. He looks like
Speaker 1: a smooth guy in and out of routes, and he
Speaker 1: looks like a player that you're excited to see what
Speaker 1: his next steps are here in the second quarter of
Speaker 1: the sea. And for the Jets, Jamison Crowdie's played two games.
Speaker 1: He's won over a hundred yards in each of the
Speaker 1: two games. So I mean we're talking about all these
Speaker 1: other receivers, well crowder back and you saw the difference.
Speaker 1: And now what's gonna happen not only offensively but defensively,
Speaker 1: because the Jets got to find a way not only
Speaker 1: to take the football away, but be more disciplined. And
Speaker 1: this Kyler Murray, he's an intriguing player, Greens, he really is.
Speaker 1: And Bart broke it down very well. DeAndre Hopkins number
Speaker 1: one receiver there everybody else under the Cardinals. If you
Speaker 1: look at their numbers, nobody's got big stats. They haven't
Speaker 1: been able to really go up top. So can the
Speaker 1: Jets keep everything in front of them, get off the
Speaker 1: field on third don and give themselves a chance to win.
Speaker 1: I think what you said earlier really resonate with me.
Speaker 1: The Cardinals Chek Pick have a lot of talent when
Speaker 1: you look at their roster on paper, when you think
Speaker 1: about Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins, on the defensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball, you think about guys like Patrick Peterson, Chandler Jones.
Speaker 1: They draft Isaiah Simmons in the top ten, and so
Speaker 1: far they haven't. You know, Simmons played like twelve snaps
Speaker 1: against the Panthers. Yeah, he's had five tackles so far
Speaker 1: this season. I thought that that's been That was one
Speaker 1: of the numbers where I had to make sure. And
Speaker 1: then they have Buddha Baker back there at the safety position,
Speaker 1: one of the better safeties in the league. But they're
Speaker 1: kind of finding their way. So yeah, don't let the
Speaker 1: records deceive you here. The Jets are certainly struggling, are
Speaker 1: on four, but the Cardinals are struggling to the two
Speaker 1: games lose a streak right now, and they weren't in
Speaker 1: that game against Carolina. I think the Jets offensively. I
Speaker 1: know we said that the players are on the men
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of these hurt guys, but
Speaker 1: their best football is yet to come, at least in
Speaker 1: my opinion, when you think about all these guys that
Speaker 1: were hurt, not being able to play at full strength,
Speaker 1: not being able to cook on all cylinders, and then
Speaker 1: you add Lady on bell back, I mean, Levy on
Speaker 1: Ball at the beginning of the year said that his
Speaker 1: best football was to be this season, and he had
Speaker 1: half of it, or you know, a little more than
Speaker 1: half of it. And I think that a lot of fans,
Speaker 1: me included, I want to see what Leban can bring
Speaker 1: after basically touting himself as this is gonna be his
Speaker 1: best season to come. Yeah, Jets have to run it better.
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about what Sam Donald did on
Speaker 1: the ground, but they really didn't have a sustained rush
Speaker 1: attack elsewhere. Interesting moved to start the week here, well,
Speaker 1: they made made a running back move over the weekend,
Speaker 1: and then they just released Kalan Belage and so Michael
Speaker 1: p Ryan in the mix as well. If Levan Belt
Speaker 1: came back, I think that possibly could give this team
Speaker 1: real shot in the arm. And then you're hoping the
Speaker 1: big back to McKay backed in his healthy for this week.
Speaker 1: Because it was a rotating door at the tackle position
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. You had Chilmadoga go out, backed in,
Speaker 1: comes in, and Beckton goes out, and mcdarbin's playing left tackle,
Speaker 1: and then you got Fan over Pack. He's back in
Speaker 1: the lineup at right tackle, but he has to go
Speaker 1: out and he got Josh Andrews playing right tackle. I
Speaker 1: I think I texted you during the game, I'm like,
Speaker 1: who's playing right tackle right now? Yeah. It was definitely
Speaker 1: a revolving door. And last season that Jets had a
Speaker 1: revolving door across all five spots. This was the first
Speaker 1: time Thursday night being the first time that we really
Speaker 1: saw the offensive linemen have injuries. You know, you never
Speaker 1: know what can happen on the podcast. And and Mercy
Speaker 1: came in here and she's one of the great employees
Speaker 1: we have here at the Jets complex, and she just
Speaker 1: literally walked in and grabbed the garbage while we're on
Speaker 1: here live. Yeah, I was thinking there was something wrong
Speaker 1: with the audio or something's wrong with the cameras. But
Speaker 1: we had a visit her. And before we wrap up
Speaker 1: the A, uh, I do want to talk about one guy.
Speaker 1: And because I said it earlier, no one talks about
Speaker 1: this guy. The door is still open, Yeah, well the
Speaker 1: air sign is still on. Yeah, she can come in
Speaker 1: here at time. So Jabari's an EGA third round pick
Speaker 1: two of two, and I just don't know what to
Speaker 1: expect from him, to be honest with you, because at Florida,
Speaker 1: he was a high character guy. He was like a
Speaker 1: player that wasn't afraid to get dirty in the trenches,
Speaker 1: had very good production at a good forty yard dash
Speaker 1: after high ankle sprain. Seems like a tough guy, but
Speaker 1: no one talks about him. I don't know what to
Speaker 1: expect from him, but I'm intrigued because he's a mystery. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see him out there. He's a guy
Speaker 1: who can help that defunt the line rotation and he
Speaker 1: plays with a great motor. And we did not see
Speaker 1: him out there in the summer, so he is a mystery.
Speaker 1: But the Jets were very high on him and that's
Speaker 1: why they took him. So you know, yeah, he's another
Speaker 1: guy you could add to the list that you're hoping
Speaker 1: he's back on the field. And then speaking on this
Speaker 1: rookie class, Ashton Davis dealing with that groin injury, he open,
Speaker 1: he's part of that rotation and like the professor said,
Speaker 1: Bart Scott, as healthy, maybe you go to a lot
Speaker 1: of three safety looks against the Arizona Cardinals. And the
Speaker 1: other guy that no one talks about, and we won't
Speaker 1: talk about him on this edition to the podcast, but
Speaker 1: later on is Bryce Hall. He's on the nf I list,
Speaker 1: which is essentially the publist, but the injury had to
Speaker 1: be sustained before coming to the NFL, which of course
Speaker 1: that was his leg slash ankle injury that he sustained
Speaker 1: last October, probably about a year ago. From this state,
Speaker 1: I would and he's a guy who Virginny just he
Speaker 1: found the football. You know, he led uh the n
Speaker 1: C a and past defense is a couple of years
Speaker 1: ago before sustaining that injury. So Bryce Hall is another
Speaker 1: future piece that you're looking forward to see at some point.
Speaker 1: But hey, listen, uh, New York Jets have an opportunity though,
Speaker 1: because if I'm in that locker room right now, Hey,
Speaker 1: the first quarter of the season's done, it's over. We
Speaker 1: didn't get it done. Now you gotta break it up
Speaker 1: into four quarters. This is the second quarter. Everything else
Speaker 1: at this point doesn't matter. Correct the mistakes. Prepare for
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, like you mentioned, very interesting schedule because you
Speaker 1: play Arizona at home, La Charges on the road there
Speaker 1: one in three. The rookie quarterback has been very impressive
Speaker 1: so far, justin Herbert and then wow, it's a doozy
Speaker 1: to end that second quarter because you got the Buffalo
Speaker 1: Bills at home and their offense is prolific. Josh Allen
Speaker 1: has taken the next step. And then you go to
Speaker 1: Kingsas City. That's how he had The Official Jets podcast
Speaker 1: powered by Amazon Web Services. We'll be back each week
Speaker 1: with the Victor Knox Swiss Army Night Player of the Game,
Speaker 1: and that's all we have for this edition. We'll see
Speaker 1: you next week an A pant
