<v Speaker 1>This is Eric Decker and you're listening to the laces

0:00:02.320 --> 0:00:09.119
<v Speaker 1>In podcast with Eric Gownberg. What's up, Jets Nation? Welcome

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 1>inside the Flooring Park studios for episode number five of

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>laces In. I'm your host. Ethan Greenberg joined alongside Alex

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:18.919
<v Speaker 1>Jaimo and Eric Allen. Now, today we got a nice

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:21.279
<v Speaker 1>little show for you. We got some Pittsburgh Steelers, we

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:25.200
<v Speaker 1>got some suicide picks. Unfortunately one of us got kicked

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 1>out from last week. We'll touch on that later. But first,

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>dad to be because Alex, yeah, I know a spoiler

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:38.599
<v Speaker 1>spoiler alert, it was myself. I actually picked the Bengals,

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 1>which Eric and Alex picked in my act in my

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>money suicide pool outside of this podcast, so I'm still

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:49.200
<v Speaker 1>alive in real life in the show. In the show,

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I got knocked out, so I picked the Cardinals who

0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.640
<v Speaker 1>suffered a loss to the division arrival l a Rams.

0:00:55.680 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>But first is uh, yeah, you gotta got a haircut.

0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it looks good, thanks man, faded action. I try

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:11.759
<v Speaker 1>to keep it clean. And this is my typical about

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.320
<v Speaker 1>five every five six weeks, so right around five to

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 1>six weeks. It's pretty long time, isn't it. Yeah, my

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>hair doesn't grow as fast as it used to. About that,

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Are you taking a dig at yourself? No? I think

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I still got relatively full head of hair. Now. Bottom

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:32.320
<v Speaker 1>line is your hair. Your hairline moves back when you

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.959
<v Speaker 1>get older. You'll experience that. But I'm not going bald

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.759
<v Speaker 1>by any means. Well, all right, and something to look

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 1>forward to. People can check out the videos on New

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.960
<v Speaker 1>York just that I'm not a bald man, and they're

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 1>not done anything wrong with being balled my head before

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I really had before. Wait, you've shaved your head? Oh sure,

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>I would love to see a photo of you with

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>a shaved head. Oh yeah. When I was playing hockey

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>at the University of Maryland at one night, uh shave

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>shaved the head picked It actually scared a couple of

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 1>roommates coming home because it was a scary sight, you know.

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, all right, too bad, We don't have a

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>too bad. No one can see that photo. But I

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.079
<v Speaker 1>do want to see. I've done it in a couple

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 1>of times, the big action, like the big action with

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 1>the beard as well, the big action with the beard,

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:20.919
<v Speaker 1>that must be a site to see. We're just talking

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 1>about the beard comes back when after Thanksgiving around Thanksgiving.

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Around Thanksgiving, all right, something it's not no shave November

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.399
<v Speaker 1>or it is, well for some people it is. I'm

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.080
<v Speaker 1>all in for you personal I'm all into charity causes

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:36.680
<v Speaker 1>bottom line, but I'm not a mustache guy. All right,

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.919
<v Speaker 1>were quick, you probably could grow a mustache. You got

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 1>some darkness. I don't think it would fill out pretty nice.

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I think my dad used to have a massive beard

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>in college. People people actually thought he looked like Charles

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Manson unfortunately, which is like I would say, shave the beard,

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Mr Greenberg. Yeah, I mean it's gone now, oh my god.

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 1>But I'll show you know that and now after the show.

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 1>But I was thinking about this the other day. By

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the way, I like your office again. Today. I was

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna say, if you got the nice work, these are

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>just shirt blue pants. They're not smurf pants with the

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.079
<v Speaker 1>black shoes. I wouldn't know what to do with the

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:25.799
<v Speaker 1>black shoes, either black or brown, right, I think there's

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.799
<v Speaker 1>pretty normal purple socks on as as No, they're great

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>they shirt, Um, oh my god, we're moving Horde pants.

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I can't catch a break. You know. I think you

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 1>could go with either, or you're going to do brown

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 1>shoes with that too. I think I'm just going to

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 1>black pants. I'm wearing black pants and a white shirt

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 1>every day now because I can't walk in this office.

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I think you look good. You look good like you

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 1>just came out of Starbucks at a Starbucks. Yeah, I

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 1>want to dunkin Donnas today. Okay, great, funking spices back,

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 1>We're going. We're going to the rails right now, We're

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 1>going to Pittsburgh. I don't know what is here. I'm

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 1>what am I gonna do? Talk about facial hair? I

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 1>can't grow a beard. Sorry, I don't think that would

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.840
<v Speaker 1>do much. Think let's move on to Pittsburgh. Here again,

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 1>the Jets one o'clock this Sunday, hines Field looking to

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 1>go two and three now on the season and e A.

0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.840
<v Speaker 1>All eyes are on the New York Jets right now.

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, media capital in the world, New York, big market.

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 1>All eyes in this matchup tend to point to Antonio

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Brown in the New York Jets secondary. But throughout this week,

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 1>the Jets have seemed extremely confident. From the headman up

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 1>top Todd Bowls throughout the locker room. What do you do?

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>What do you think of this? What do you take

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>this last year? Obviously the Jets had a bit of

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>a rough stretch, but they ended up tennis. Do you

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 1>write about that? Right? So there were one in four

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>between weeks seven and eleven. They were left for dead

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 1>after the Houston game. I mentioned this multiple times this week.

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 1>There were five and five. Then they went on a

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 1>five game winning streak that actually began with the win

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>over the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium. We knew the

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 1>schedule was gonna be tough before the year started. I

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 1>think Kansas City was an anomaly in the sense that

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:19.920
<v Speaker 1>the Jets are not going to turn the ball over

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>eight times again in a game. Okay, Now, if we

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 1>were betting people, which we are not, I would say

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:30.800
<v Speaker 1>that's not gonna happen again. Todd Bowles did say that

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 1>the Jets took some strides last week, and I would

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 1>agree with that. They didn't get the victory, but they

0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 1>did a lot of good things against the Seahawks. Have

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 1>no moral victories in this league. Bottom line. They had

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.479
<v Speaker 1>a chance to get back in that game in the

0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarter. Unfortunately, turn the ball over three times. Russell

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.479
<v Speaker 1>Wilson was tremendous, but when you look at this matchup Ethan,

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:56.279
<v Speaker 1>I think it's gonna be on the offense as far

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 1>as they got to find a way to produce some

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 1>points and get the defense some help. Conversely, we know

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the defense has to stop the big place. Yes, we've

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 1>heard that ad nauseum. I talked to Marcus Gilcristal about it.

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Here's a little plug Jet spotlight this week with the

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Jets quarterback of the secondary, Marcus gilcrist The other thing

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>the defense can do is give it get a takeaway

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.039
<v Speaker 1>or to to set the offense off and play some

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.840
<v Speaker 1>more complimentary football. But I don't think the Jets are

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.600
<v Speaker 1>too far away. And don't get alarmed by the fact

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 1>that Pittsburgh went off on Kansas City every week. As

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>you both are learning, is a new season and even

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>on the fans see the Jets struggling team was lost

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:42.919
<v Speaker 1>two in a row and the world is ending. That's

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 1>not the way it is in the locker room. And

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 1>you both have been in the locker room, right and yeah,

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll piggyback on that. We were in the Ethan and myself.

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 1>We're in the locker room. I didn't see you yesterday.

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.960
<v Speaker 1>I think you had a came in there like, oh yeah,

0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 1>you were sitting down with um Gilly. But we were

0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 1>all in the locker room yesterday and those guys were

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.920
<v Speaker 1>been It was bumping the energy. It was so great.

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 1>They were laughing, they were joking around and they said,

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I said, what's going on you guys, And they said,

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 1>we had a good practice. We had a good practice.

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 1>And I believe Brandon Marshall was that. Brandon Marshall, he said,

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 1>it's been the best practice they've had all seasons. So

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 1>those guys are not down. They don't think this season

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>is over. They're confident they can turn this around. Um,

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, and hopefully they turned around on Sunday in Pittsburgh. UM.

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Back to the fits thing, like, all those interceptions are

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 1>not on him. A lot of the balls were tipped. Um.

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 1>He tried to force a lot of things to spark

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 1>the offense. So you know, Brandon Marshall said he had

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>his quarterbacks back. He said, you know, it's not all unfits.

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 1>So you know, I think they can turn this thing around.

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 1>They should take the lead Ethan and Alex. They should

0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 1>take the lead from Brandon and guys like Steve McLendon,

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 1>a veterans going back to Pittsburgh this week and their rattitudes,

0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 1>and I think this team isn't the right frame of

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 1>mind no matter what's happening outside. I think Todd Bowles

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 1>has I'm prepared for this week. I would agree with you.

0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.720
<v Speaker 1>And just just being in the locker room yesterday, you

0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 1>can kind of sense that spirits obviously weren't down. It was.

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:17.680
<v Speaker 1>It was a rather loud locker room yesterday. And you know,

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 1>there's not a Jets nation like you guys are in

0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 1>the locker room every day. You don't see this kind

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 1>of stuff. But take a deep breath. You know, e

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.040
<v Speaker 1>A just said it last week or last year. Excuse me.

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.840
<v Speaker 1>The Jets were five and five at a tough stretch

0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 1>weeks seven to eleven, brink of the playoffs, one game

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:39.240
<v Speaker 1>away from the playoffs. It's it is a long season. Granted,

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a little it's a sour taste right now

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.559
<v Speaker 1>because it's the beginning of the season. It's an early season.

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Well there's no doubt about it, but early season hole.

0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 1>It's not a monstrous hole by any means. Again, I

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 1>talked about this on the radio show Inside the Jets

0:08:56.400 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 1>seven o'clock at Calandra's they had a good They always

0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 1>have good food. Come on buy, I'll buy. I'll purchase

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:08.240
<v Speaker 1>you the mill free though, isn't the food free um

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>for Jets and boys? It's free? Oh it is, Yes,

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that. Always a lot of people go

0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.560
<v Speaker 1>get their free me I always pump more money into

0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 1>the economy. If you all want to stop up your

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.000
<v Speaker 1>support for the I always listened to you. I actually

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 1>listened to you on the radio, but on the way home.

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>What I'd say it too, is that you know Kansas

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:31.200
<v Speaker 1>City started one and five a year ago, Jets. I

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.319
<v Speaker 1>was here in two thousand two when the Jets started

0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 1>two and five and Hermandward said, what do you play for?

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 1>You play to win the game. Listen, there's a lot

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 1>of season left to your faults. Didn't they go one

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 1>and four during a stretch last year and then they

0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 1>came back from that, So it's possible. People, So everyone

0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.880
<v Speaker 1>take a deep breath. It's okay. I understand the concern

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 1>that Pittsburgh has talent, because every I mean every team

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:56.959
<v Speaker 1>has talent. Let's be real. And and Tonio Brown and

0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Ben Roethlisberger have wh who said it that it was

0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 1>the best chemistry they've ever seen in the locker room

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.480
<v Speaker 1>that I was not in yesterday, but I was there

0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.560
<v Speaker 1>for Calvin Pryor did say that you were sitting down

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.960
<v Speaker 1>in the size that it's the best chemistry they've seen.

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.440
<v Speaker 1>But and you know this kinmistry has ever seen between

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback and a wide receiver. Came back in a

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 1>big way. Oh my god, yards and only one carries,

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 1>so it's not like he ran them all thirty times.

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Great challenge ahead to to flip to flip the script here,

0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>let's go fits against the Pittsburgh defense here. I know

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Alex and Alex we were talking about this a little

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:39.080
<v Speaker 1>bit before. You you see some potential. Yeah, they have

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the thirty ranked passing defense, so they can potentially take

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 1>advantage of this. Hopefully. I'm gonna I'm gonna put you

0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:50.120
<v Speaker 1>on the spot here. Who's someone that you expect to

0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.839
<v Speaker 1>break out for this Jets offense or you're looking that

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.440
<v Speaker 1>you think they're gonna be. I'm hoping Port gets back

0:10:55.480 --> 0:11:00.319
<v Speaker 1>on track. Um and again, I hope he gets a lot.

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I want them bull to be intertwined

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, like it's either one or yeah,

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 1>So I want the ball to be working at the

0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.680
<v Speaker 1>same time. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah, you have anybody

0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.400
<v Speaker 1>that you that you have your eyes on. Well, yeah,

0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 1>there's a few things. That's what's happening up front with

0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the offensive line. Uh is Winner's back this week? I

0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 1>can't remember what the injury report was on Wednesday. You know,

0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 1>he suffered a head injury against the Seahawks. So that

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Brent Quality, who've been alternating at right tech. What about

0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Eye Gilanna, he came in, he started playing right guard

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.400
<v Speaker 1>next Hi Jolanna and at the wide receiver position. We

0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:39.600
<v Speaker 1>know that Deck's got partially torn rotator Coffee did not

0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.760
<v Speaker 1>practice Wednesday. If he's not able to go, the young

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.840
<v Speaker 1>kids have to continue to take steps forward, and that's

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Robbie Anderson, Toron peaked, Tron peek out and then the

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:56.400
<v Speaker 1>last week and a fortuitous at two yard uh fumble

0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:02.240
<v Speaker 1>recovery and to paydirt. But the bottom line is Steelers

0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 1>are gonna do everything they can to try to take

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 1>away fifteen. Take away Brandon Marshalls. So you're gonna need

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 1>contributions elsewhere. And Elx made a good point about the

0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:14.720
<v Speaker 1>running backs. Sometimes it's not necessarily where you gotta run

0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the ball first, and then the passing game is gonna come.

0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Maybe the passing games sets up running lanes for Forte

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Blah Paula. Bla. Paula has had twelve combined receptions the

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.040
<v Speaker 1>past two games. The Jestska moved the ball on the

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Steelers again. It's finishing inside the red zone and it's

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:36.079
<v Speaker 1>bowl security. But my eyes are on Robbie Anderson, who

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 1>split up to the number three spot against Seattle, almost

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:42.640
<v Speaker 1>had that deep ball on the home sideline against Deshaan

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Shed of the Seattle Seahawks. And I think that throughout

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.840
<v Speaker 1>his short career here Robbie Anderson. I wrote about this

0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:53.800
<v Speaker 1>yesterday and on New York Chats dot com, But I

0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:57.679
<v Speaker 1>think Robby Anderson, whatever the challenges, he seems to rise

0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 1>to the occasion with every step. First it was his

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 1>consistency in practice. Then he led the NFL in preseason

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.480
<v Speaker 1>receiving yards. And now he has an opportunity to really

0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:09.720
<v Speaker 1>make an impact on the biggest level to date in

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:13.520
<v Speaker 1>that in a regular season matchup for the New York Jets.

0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.600
<v Speaker 1>And this is really where it will count more so

0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.800
<v Speaker 1>than preseason and training camp for obvious reasons, because direct

0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.920
<v Speaker 1>it deeply affects the record and your chance of making

0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.440
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. So I actually think Robby Anderson is going

0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 1>to connect for with a one forty plus yard play.

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 1>That's my big prediction. He just likes and he always

0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:37.560
<v Speaker 1>is one step ahead of the guy. He just needs

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.520
<v Speaker 1>to hold onto that ball when he's taking a hit.

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:43.600
<v Speaker 1>He has, he has a knack for somehow keep He

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.320
<v Speaker 1>keeps pushing and he keeps creating things. He paid off

0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 1>so far, and I have high hopes for him, and

0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:52.079
<v Speaker 1>I think that well he get a forty plus yarder

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 1>against the comfort level should be better. And also these

0:13:56.160 --> 0:14:00.960
<v Speaker 1>practice erupts people at home don't I cannot account I

0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 1>think sometimes how important practice reps are. Deck went out

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 1>last week, so they basically had a week where Robby

0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Anderson shifts from five to three. Tron peak is active.

0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.560
<v Speaker 1>So those guys got three days of practice. They're out

0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 1>there on Sunday. Now it's three more days of practice.

0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 1>So I think that FITS should have some more comfortability

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 1>with these guys, and they should be learning the exact route,

0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.280
<v Speaker 1>placements where the guy is gonna be thrown the ball,

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.760
<v Speaker 1>and things like that. So what's happening on the field

0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.880
<v Speaker 1>this week? Is very important, but the Jets have to

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:41.000
<v Speaker 1>finish against the Steelers. Got to give their defense some help.

0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:44.600
<v Speaker 1>And the bottom line is I expect the defensive play

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.400
<v Speaker 1>better against the deep ball. I love it if they

0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 1>could come up with a takeaway or two because you

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 1>gotta play complimentary football to one on the road. This

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.240
<v Speaker 1>is laces In, Ethan Greenberg, Alex Shimo, and Eric Allen

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 1>here discussing New York Jets football right now. Jets traveling, well,

0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:01.440
<v Speaker 1>they're not right out traveling, but this week they will

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:06.000
<v Speaker 1>be traveling to Hinesfield Sunday one pm. Again, the Jets

0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.360
<v Speaker 1>looking to go two and three on the season, and

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 1>real quick before we table the Steelers talk is Steve McClendon,

0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.600
<v Speaker 1>who the former Pittsburgh Steeler played there six years, first

0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:17.880
<v Speaker 1>year with the New York Jets. His emotions yesterday and

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:22.000
<v Speaker 1>his in his locker room pressor where you could tell

0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.800
<v Speaker 1>that he was excited that it was going to be

0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.480
<v Speaker 1>an interesting feeling. So I'm gonna ask you guys, put

0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 1>yourselves in his shoes, being going back to Pittsburgh, the

0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:33.880
<v Speaker 1>team that gave you a chance to live your dream

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL. Now you're playing them. What's going through

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 1>your mind, Alex take that she spent a lot of

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.080
<v Speaker 1>time with Steve McClendon lately. She was cooking with them

0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:45.360
<v Speaker 1>last But he's actually such an awesome dude. Um. I mean,

0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I think that he's got to be going in with

0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:50.720
<v Speaker 1>his head lit on fire. He just wants to tear

0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 1>it up. I mean, he's still obviously has love for

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, his former teammates and coaches and everything. But

0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if it was me, I would want to

0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:00.800
<v Speaker 1>just light light it up and go off. And I

0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:02.560
<v Speaker 1>think he's going to be playing with his head on fire.

0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you worry about guys with their emotions because they

0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 1>can get way too high. I think mclennen is a

0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 1>very mature guy. And even though he is going to

0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.880
<v Speaker 1>be very emotional, everything he talks about Pittsburgh, it wasn't

0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.680
<v Speaker 1>a bad breakup or anything like that. He's very complimentary

0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.640
<v Speaker 1>with the organization. He has friends over there and teammates

0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:23.760
<v Speaker 1>and things like that. With that being said, he's very

0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.960
<v Speaker 1>happy to be here. He fits in tremendously with a

0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.920
<v Speaker 1>defensive line where their favorite more of it's in a

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:34.400
<v Speaker 1>tax system instead of two gap, and maybe in Pittsburgh

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.160
<v Speaker 1>a little bit he's one gap and he's getting up

0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:39.680
<v Speaker 1>the field a little bit. And the Jets defensive line again,

0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:41.560
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be on them every week. We're gonna talk

0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:47.680
<v Speaker 1>about that right now. The best four players that Todd

0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Bowls are trying is trying to get on the field

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 1>is a front seven, you know. So you're always gonna

0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:54.600
<v Speaker 1>see a lot of times you gonna see mcclennan out

0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:58.240
<v Speaker 1>there with Leo Mohamma Wokekers and Sheldon Richardson. So those

0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.040
<v Speaker 1>guys have to be dom and mcleanna is going to

0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.120
<v Speaker 1>be ready, ready to go. And I don't worry about

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.200
<v Speaker 1>his motion. Yeah, he said yesterday in the locker room

0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.480
<v Speaker 1>that he'll talk to his friends after the game. But

0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:11.440
<v Speaker 1>until that point, it's all. It's all game. It's game time.

0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.440
<v Speaker 1>It's game time, and it's game time right now because

0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.879
<v Speaker 1>we're going to the suicide picks real quick, Alex, all right,

0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say this before e A even says a thing.

0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.560
<v Speaker 1>So there's no h I'm gonna go. I'm gonna take

0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.960
<v Speaker 1>the Monday night game. I'm gonna take Carolina at home.

0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.359
<v Speaker 1>not even a question, it's a fact that Arizona. That

0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:49.720
<v Speaker 1>is my prediction. And as you've noticed so far, I'm

0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:54.160
<v Speaker 1>the only person who is not getting any game wrong

0:18:54.400 --> 0:19:00.920
<v Speaker 1>here during your suicide pool. Okay, okay, you the expert,

0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Well you've got mine wrong though. I'm I mean, I

0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:08.399
<v Speaker 1>don't even know if I don't even know what the

0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:11.520
<v Speaker 1>protocol here, but I would pick the Patriots. I will

0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:14.159
<v Speaker 1>be picking the Patriots in my suicide pool outside of

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the podcast, So I will be picking the Patriots again

0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:21.320
<v Speaker 1>because I don't see a way they lose the Cleveland

0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Brown that I'm definitely by the way, while we're doing

0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:26.560
<v Speaker 1>a suicide pool, I gotta tell you, I might not

0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 1>even use the Patriots all year because for me, this

0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:35.240
<v Speaker 1>is this is personal personal for you, with personal for

0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Steve mcclennan. Going back to Pittsburgh, we're all one here

0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:43.280
<v Speaker 1>at who does Syracuse play this week? You guys don't

0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:46.520
<v Speaker 1>even know there. I think they're I don't know, to

0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:48.960
<v Speaker 1>be honest with you, I'm so checked out at this point.

0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Is fifty to thirty three at Matt Life. You're getting

0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:57.040
<v Speaker 1>some offensive production. Yeah, I like Dino Babors a lot too.

0:19:57.080 --> 0:19:59.639
<v Speaker 1>I just happened to sometime. Don't check out, I'm not

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:01.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm not checking out out. I'm just saying that this

0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:05.600
<v Speaker 1>season is not going to be at the floor here.

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Wake Forest, Wake Forest at wake Forest, Yes, a winnable game,

0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:14.840
<v Speaker 1>um yes, and no wake Forest play tough defense well,

0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:17.960
<v Speaker 1>and it really depends on the wake Forest offense if

0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:21.440
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna be honest here, because that is directly correlated

0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:26.399
<v Speaker 1>to the Syracuse defense, which is the major, major whole

0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:30.880
<v Speaker 1>for the Syracuse Orange. But but I am, I am,

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:33.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, I am excited about it. I'm excited about

0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:36.359
