Welcome 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: inside the Flooring Park studios for episode number five of 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: laces In. I'm your host. Ethan Greenberg joined alongside Alex 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: Jaimo and Eric Allen. Now, today we got a nice 6 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: little show for you. We got some Pittsburgh Steelers, we 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: got some suicide picks. Unfortunately one of us got kicked 8 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: out from last week. We'll touch on that later. But first, 9 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: dad to be because Alex, yeah, I know a spoiler 10 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,599 Speaker 1: spoiler alert, it was myself. I actually picked the Bengals, 11 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: which Eric and Alex picked in my act in my 12 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: money suicide pool outside of this podcast, so I'm still 13 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: alive in real life in the show. In the show, 14 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: I got knocked out, so I picked the Cardinals who 15 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: suffered a loss to the division arrival l a Rams. 16 00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: But first is uh, yeah, you gotta got a haircut. 17 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: Yeah it looks good, thanks man, faded action. I try 18 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 1: to keep it clean. And this is my typical about 19 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 1: five every five six weeks, so right around five to 20 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: six weeks. It's pretty long time, isn't it. Yeah, my 21 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: hair doesn't grow as fast as it used to. About that, 22 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: Are you taking a dig at yourself? No? I think 23 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: I still got relatively full head of hair. Now. Bottom 24 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: line is your hair. Your hairline moves back when you 25 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: get older. You'll experience that. But I'm not going bald 26 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 1: by any means. Well, all right, and something to look 27 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: forward to. People can check out the videos on New 28 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: York just that I'm not a bald man, and they're 29 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: not done anything wrong with being balled my head before 30 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: I really had before. Wait, you've shaved your head? Oh sure, 31 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: I would love to see a photo of you with 32 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: a shaved head. Oh yeah. When I was playing hockey 33 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: at the University of Maryland at one night, uh shave 34 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: shaved the head picked It actually scared a couple of 35 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: roommates coming home because it was a scary sight, you know. 36 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: All right, all right, too bad, We don't have a 37 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: too bad. No one can see that photo. But I 38 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: do want to see. I've done it in a couple 39 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: of times, the big action, like the big action with 40 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: the beard as well, the big action with the beard, 41 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: that must be a site to see. We're just talking 42 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: about the beard comes back when after Thanksgiving around Thanksgiving. 43 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: Around Thanksgiving, all right, something it's not no shave November 44 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,399 Speaker 1: or it is, well for some people it is.

I don't think it would fill out pretty nice. 49 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: I think my dad used to have a massive beard 50 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: in college. People people actually thought he looked like Charles 51 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: Manson unfortunately, which is like I would say, shave the beard, 52 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: Mr Greenberg. Yeah, I mean it's gone now, oh my god. 53 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: But I'll show you know that and now after the show. 54 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: But I was thinking about this the other day. By 55 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: the way, I like your office again. Today. I was 56 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: gonna say, if you got the nice work, these are 57 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: just shirt blue pants.

I think I'm just going to 65 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: black pants. I'm wearing black pants and a white shirt 66 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: every day now because I can't walk in this office. 67 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: I think you look good. You look good like you 68 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: just came out of Starbucks at a Starbucks. Yeah, I 69 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: want to dunkin Donnas today. Okay, great, funking spices back, 70 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: We're going. We're going to the rails right now, We're 71 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: going to Pittsburgh. I don't know what is here. I'm 72 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: what am I gonna do? Talk about facial hair? I 73 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: can't grow a beard. Sorry, I don't think that would 74 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: do much. Think let's move on to Pittsburgh. Here again, 75 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: the Jets one o'clock this Sunday, hines Field looking to 76 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: go two and three now on the season and e A. 77 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: All eyes are on the New York Jets right now. 78 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: You know, media capital in the world, New York, big market. 79 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: All eyes in this matchup tend to point to Antonio 80 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: Brown in the New York Jets secondary. But throughout this week, 81 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: the Jets have seemed extremely confident. From the headman up 82 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: top Todd Bowls throughout the locker room. What do you do? 83 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: What do you think of this? What do you take 84 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: this last year? Obviously the Jets had a bit of 85 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: a rough stretch, but they ended up tennis. Do you 86 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: write about that? Right? So there were one in four 87 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: between weeks seven and eleven. They were left for dead 88 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: after the Houston game. I mentioned this multiple times this week. 89 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: There were five and five. Then they went on a 90 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: five game winning streak that actually began with the win 91 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: over the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium. We knew the 92 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: schedule was gonna be tough before the year started. I 93 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: think Kansas City was an anomaly in the sense that 94 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: the Jets are not going to turn the ball over 95 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: eight times again in a game. Okay, Now, if we 96 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: were betting people, which we are not, I would say 97 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen again. Todd Bowles did say that 98 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: the Jets took some strides last week, and I would 99 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: agree with that. They didn't get the victory, but they 100 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: did a lot of good things against the Seahawks. Have 101 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: no moral victories in this league. Bottom line. They had 102 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 1: a chance to get back in that game in the 103 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Unfortunately, turn the ball over three times. Russell 104 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: Wilson was tremendous, but when you look at this matchup Ethan, 105 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be on the offense as far 106 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: as they got to find a way to produce some 107 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: points and get the defense some help. Conversely, we know 108 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: the defense has to stop the big place. Yes, we've 109 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: heard that ad nauseum. I talked to Marcus Gilcristal about it. 110 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: Here's a little plug Jet spotlight this week with the 111 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: Jets quarterback of the secondary, Marcus gilcrist The other thing 112 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: the defense can do is give it get a takeaway 113 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: or to to set the offense off and play some 114 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: more complimentary football. But I don't think the Jets are 115 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: too far away. And don't get alarmed by the fact 116 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: that Pittsburgh went off on Kansas City every week. As 117 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: you both are learning, is a new season and even 118 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: on the fans see the Jets struggling team was lost 119 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 1: two in a row and the world is ending. That's 120 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: not the way it is in the locker room. And 121 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: you both have been in the locker room, right and yeah, 122 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: I'll piggyback on that. We were in the Ethan and myself. 123 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: We're in the locker room. I didn't see you yesterday. 124 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: I think you had a came in there like, oh yeah, 125 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: you were sitting down with um Gilly. But we were 126 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: all in the locker room yesterday and those guys were 127 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: been It was bumping the energy. It was so great. 128 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: They were laughing, they were joking around and they said, 129 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: I said, what's going on you guys, And they said, 130 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: we had a good practice. We had a good practice. 131 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: And I believe Brandon Marshall was that. Brandon Marshall, he said, 132 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: it's been the best practice they've had all seasons. So 133 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: those guys are not down. They don't think this season 134 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: is over. They're confident they can turn this around. Um, 135 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: you know, and hopefully they turned around on Sunday in Pittsburgh. UM. 136 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: Back to the fits thing, like, all those interceptions are 137 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: not on him. A lot of the balls were tipped. Um. 138 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: He tried to force a lot of things to spark 139 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: the offense. So you know, Brandon Marshall said he had 140 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: his quarterbacks back. He said, you know, it's not all unfits. 141 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: So you know, I think they can turn this thing around. 142 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: They should take the lead Ethan and Alex. They should 143 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: take the lead from Brandon and guys like Steve McLendon, 144 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: a veterans going back to Pittsburgh this week and their rattitudes, 145 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: and I think this team isn't the right frame of 146 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: mind no matter what's happening outside. I think Todd Bowles 147 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: has I'm prepared for this week. I would agree with you. 148 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: And just just being in the locker room yesterday, you 149 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: can kind of sense that spirits obviously weren't down. It was. 150 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: It was a rather loud locker room yesterday. And you know, 151 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: there's not a Jets nation like you guys are in 152 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: the locker room every day. You don't see this kind 153 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: of stuff. But take a deep breath. You know, e 154 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: A just said it last week or last year. Excuse me. 155 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: The Jets were five and five at a tough stretch 156 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: weeks seven to eleven, brink of the playoffs, one game 157 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: away from the playoffs. It's it is a long season. Granted, 158 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: it's it's a little it's a sour taste right now 159 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: because it's the beginning of the season. It's an early season. 160 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: Well there's no doubt about it, but early season hole. 161 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: It's not a monstrous hole by any means. Again, I 162 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: talked about this on the radio show Inside the Jets 163 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: seven o'clock at Calandra's they had a good They always 164 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: have good food. Come on buy, I'll buy. I'll purchase 165 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: you the mill free though, isn't the food free um 166 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: for Jets and boys? It's free? Oh it is, Yes, 167 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Always a lot of people go 168 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: get their free me I always pump more money into 169 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: the economy. If you all want to stop up your 170 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: support for the I always listened to you. I actually 171 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: listened to you on the radio, but on the way home. 172 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: What I'd say it too, is that you know Kansas 173 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: City started one and five a year ago, Jets. I 174 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: was here in two thousand two when the Jets started 175 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: two and five and Hermandward said, what do you play for? 176 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: You play to win the game. Listen, there's a lot 177 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: of season left to your faults. Didn't they go one 178 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: and four during a stretch last year and then they 179 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: came back from that, So it's possible. People, So everyone 180 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: take a deep breath. It's okay. I understand the concern 181 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: that Pittsburgh has talent, because every I mean every team 182 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 1: has talent. Let's be real. And and Tonio Brown and 183 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger have wh who said it that it was 184 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: the best chemistry they've ever seen in the locker room 185 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: that I was not in yesterday, but I was there 186 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: for Calvin Pryor did say that you were sitting down 187 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: in the size that it's the best chemistry they've seen. 188 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: But and you know this kinmistry has ever seen between 189 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: a quarterback and a wide receiver. Came back in a 190 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: big way. Oh my god, yards and only one carries, 191 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: so it's not like he ran them all thirty times. 192 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: Great challenge ahead to to flip to flip the script here, 193 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: let's go fits against the Pittsburgh defense here. I know 194 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: Alex and Alex we were talking about this a little 195 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: bit before. You you see some potential. Yeah, they have 196 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: the thirty ranked passing defense, so they can potentially take 197 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: advantage of this. Hopefully. I'm gonna I'm gonna put you 198 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: on the spot here. Who's someone that you expect to 199 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 1: break out for this Jets offense or you're looking that 200 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: you think they're gonna be. I'm hoping Port gets back 201 00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: on track. Um and again, I hope he gets a lot. 202 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: I feel like I want them bull to be intertwined 203 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: at the same time, like it's either one or yeah, 204 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: So I want the ball to be working at the 205 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: same time. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah, you have anybody 206 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: that you that you have your eyes on. Well, yeah, 207 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: there's a few things. That's what's happening up front with 208 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: the offensive line. Uh is Winner's back this week? I 209 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: can't remember what the injury report was on Wednesday. You know, 210 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: he suffered a head injury against the Seahawks. So that 211 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: Brent Quality, who've been alternating at right tech. What about 212 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: Eye Gilanna, he came in, he started playing right guard 213 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: next Hi Jolanna and at the wide receiver position. We 214 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: know that Deck's got partially torn rotator Coffee did not 215 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: practice Wednesday. If he's not able to go, the young 216 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: kids have to continue to take steps forward, and that's 217 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson, Toron peaked, Tron peek out and then the 218 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: last week and a fortuitous at two yard uh fumble 219 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: recovery and to paydirt. But the bottom line is Steelers 220 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: are gonna do everything they can to try to take 221 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: away fifteen. Take away Brandon Marshalls. So you're gonna need 222 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: contributions elsewhere. And Elx made a good point about the 223 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: running backs. Sometimes it's not necessarily where you gotta run 224 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: the ball first, and then the passing game is gonna come. 225 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: Maybe the passing games sets up running lanes for Forte 226 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: Blah Paula. Bla. Paula has had twelve combined receptions the 227 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: past two games. The Jestska moved the ball on the 228 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: Steelers again. It's finishing inside the red zone and it's 229 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: bowl security. But my eyes are on Robbie Anderson, who 230 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: split up to the number three spot against Seattle, almost 231 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: had that deep ball on the home sideline against Deshaan 232 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: Shed of the Seattle Seahawks. And I think that throughout 233 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: his short career here Robbie Anderson. I wrote about this 234 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: yesterday and on New York Chats dot com, But I 235 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: think Robby Anderson, whatever the challenges, he seems to rise 236 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: to the occasion with every step. First it was his 237 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: consistency in practice. Then he led the NFL in preseason 238 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: receiving yards. And now he has an opportunity to really 239 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: make an impact on the biggest level to date in 240 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: that in a regular season matchup for the New York Jets. 241 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: And this is really where it will count more so 242 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: than preseason and training camp for obvious reasons, because direct 243 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: it deeply affects the record and your chance of making 244 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: the playoffs. So I actually think Robby Anderson is going 245 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: to connect for with a one forty plus yard play. 246 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: That's my big prediction. He just likes and he always 247 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: is one step ahead of the guy. He just needs 248 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: to hold onto that ball when he's taking a hit. 249 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: He has, he has a knack for somehow keep He 250 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: keeps pushing and he keeps creating things. He paid off 251 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: so far, and I have high hopes for him, and 252 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 1: I think that well he get a forty plus yarder 253 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: against the comfort level should be better. And also these 254 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: practice erupts people at home don't I cannot account I 255 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: think sometimes how important practice reps are. Deck went out 256 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: last week, so they basically had a week where Robby 257 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: Anderson shifts from five to three. Tron peak is active. 258 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: So those guys got three days of practice. They're out 259 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: there on Sunday. Now it's three more days of practice. 260 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: So I think that FITS should have some more comfortability 261 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: with these guys, and they should be learning the exact route, 262 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: placements where the guy is gonna be thrown the ball, 263 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: and things like that. So what's happening on the field 264 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: this week? Is very important, but the Jets have to 265 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: finish against the Steelers. Got to give their defense some help. 266 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: And the bottom line is I expect the defensive play 267 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: better against the deep ball. I love it if they 268 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: could come up with a takeaway or two because you 269 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: gotta play complimentary football to one on the road. This 270 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: is laces In, Ethan Greenberg, Alex Shimo, and Eric Allen 271 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: here discussing New York Jets football right now. Jets traveling, well, 272 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: they're not right out traveling, but this week they will 273 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: be traveling to Hinesfield Sunday one pm. Again, the Jets 274 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: looking to go two and three on the season, and 275 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: real quick before we table the Steelers talk is Steve McClendon, 276 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: who the former Pittsburgh Steeler played there six years, first 277 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: year with the New York Jets. His emotions yesterday and 278 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: his in his locker room pressor where you could tell 279 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: that he was excited that it was going to be 280 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: an interesting feeling. So I'm gonna ask you guys, put 281 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: yourselves in his shoes, being going back to Pittsburgh, the 282 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: team that gave you a chance to live your dream 283 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Now you're playing them. What's going through 284 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: your mind, Alex take that she spent a lot of 285 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: time with Steve McClendon lately. She was cooking with them 286 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: last But he's actually such an awesome dude. Um. I mean, 287 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: I think that he's got to be going in with 288 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: his head lit on fire. He just wants to tear 289 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: it up. I mean, he's still obviously has love for 290 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: you know, his former teammates and coaches and everything. But 291 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: I mean, if it was me, I would want to 292 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: just light light it up and go off. And I 293 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: think he's going to be playing with his head on fire. 294 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: Sometimes you worry about guys with their emotions because they 295 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: can get way too high. I think mclennen is a 296 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: very mature guy. And even though he is going to 297 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: be very emotional, everything he talks about Pittsburgh, it wasn't 298 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: a bad breakup or anything like that. He's very complimentary 299 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: with the organization. He has friends over there and teammates 300 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: and things like that. With that being said, he's very 301 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: happy to be here. He fits in tremendously with a 302 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: defensive line where their favorite more of it's in a 303 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: tax system instead of two gap, and maybe in Pittsburgh 304 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: a little bit he's one gap and he's getting up 305 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: the field a little bit. And the Jets defensive line again, 306 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna be on them every week. We're gonna talk 307 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: about that right now. The best four players that Todd 308 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: Bowls are trying is trying to get on the field 309 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: is a front seven, you know. So you're always gonna 310 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: see a lot of times you gonna see mcclennan out 311 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: there with Leo Mohamma Wokekers and Sheldon Richardson. So those 312 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: guys have to be dom and mcleanna is going to 313 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: be ready, ready to go. And I don't worry about 314 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: his motion. Yeah, he said yesterday in the locker room 315 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: that he'll talk to his friends after the game. But 316 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: until that point, it's all. It's all game. It's game time. 317 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: It's game time, and it's game time right now because 318 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: we're going to the suicide picks real quick, Alex, all right, 319 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this before e A even says a thing. 320 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: So there's no h I'm gonna go.
