Speaker 1: it be Matthew. If I'm keeping it, I'd rather have

19
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: it be Matthew. But like, article don't matter. Just say

20
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: jud on. Thinking about how you guys have turned the page,

21
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: it seems like that's a big feet this week. Tournament

22
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: Age the Jets just look like looked exhausted everyone after

23
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: expending so much Sunday, what is your process for refilling

24
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: the tank? Sure, get right back, treatment, recovery and side

25
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: or whatever you gotta do. I used up cold or

26
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: whatever I gotta do to make sure I'm ready for

27
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: the next game. Uh. That's what this league is. Uh,

28
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: it's next play, next game, next down. Uh, that's what

29
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: it is. So you gotta you gotta exhaust yourself on

30
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: game days and then throughout the week you gotta find

31
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: a way to get your legs back under you so

32
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: the next game, game day, you're ready. When do you

33
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: usually feel like you've made it to the point where

34
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: you know you're ready if you Uh? Uh, I do

35
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff, you know, I get on the

36
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: pelotone winning bikes. Uh. We live, we live hard, we

37
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: trained hard. Uh. So uh, you know, it's never a

38
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: point that you just feel like like, all right, I'm ready.

39
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: It's just when, uh, when it's called upon this there

40
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: just because of your training and then your preparation. So uh,

41
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: that's it's kind of I guess some game day when

42
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: I walk into locker room, Now, what was something when

43
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: you're back to week two and you guys played the

44
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: Jets that um might it's surprised to you that, you know,

45
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot of you learn playing versus what you

46
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: have studied on the film or something that might have

47
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: jumped out when you're on the field. We finally get

48
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: to see them in person. Well, just the type of

49
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: team they have. They out of really good u front. Uh,

50
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 1: they got some wide receivers uh that actually came back

51
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: after we played them. Uh, they got some good by receivers.

52
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: And then uh, just the progression and their quarterback. Uh,

53
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: he's fighting out what he actually can and can't can't

54
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: do an actual football game, uh live bullets. So he's

55
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: progressing a lot faster. Uh so, and he's making reads

56
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: and you know, just his timing and so. Uh. But

57
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: with our football team, uh, we find out a lot

58
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: about ourselves each week. Uh. So we just got to

59
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: make sure we work and uh make sure we're ready

60
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: for the game and uh make sure we're ready to

61
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: go out there and get a divisional win. How much

62
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: the keeping him in the pocket, Uh, there's a lot

63
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks that uh like to just step up in

64
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: the pocket and uh and you know, just fire the ball.

65
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: Uh laser to his targets than in some quarterbacks that

66
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: can get outside of the pocket. And uh jest it's accurate,

67
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: if not better on the run and when they outside

68
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: the pocket. And uh, he's kind of one of those quarterbacks.

69
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: He's extremely accurate outside the pocket, uh and on the

70
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: run and when he doesn't have his feet planet. But

71
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: he's also a good uh pocket passer if you allow

72
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: him to have a nice smooth pocket. So we gotta

73
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: we gotta contain him, but we also can let him

74
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: be comfortable in the pocket. We don't want to just

75
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: rush up the field and just not let him go

76
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: out the pocket because he can uh, he can hurt

77
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: us in the pocket too. So it's a fine line

78
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: between both. That's a difficult balance to strike between frustrate

79
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: the q also containing guys. And you know, it's it

80
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: hard to find strike that balance. Oh it is, Citi

81
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: is Uh. That's why you just gotta have. You gotta

82
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: have consistent uh pass rush line. Everybody gotta be on

83
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: one to cord up front. Uh. You know, you don't

84
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: want to overlape, overload one side. Uh, and then you

85
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: don't want to you don't want to give them my

86
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: huge be gaps to step up in and uh escape

87
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: the pocket that way. So uh, you know, like everything

88
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: most like most things, it's always easier than said. It's

89
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: always easier than uh said, than done. And so we

90
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: got to actually go out there and execute and make him,

91
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: uh play quarterback in the type pocket and uh have

92
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: him beat well, have a have him beat us that

93
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 1: way instead of just giving them lanes to throwing lanes,

94
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: open throwing lanes and then lanes store escape the pocket.

95
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: So we gotta it's you know, it's hard. It's hard,

96
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: but we gotta do it. That's why we get paid.

97
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: That's why we suit up and go practice and play

98
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: time first making mistakes. From that point on, what have

99
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: you seen, guys? Just like I said, he's progressed. Uh

100
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: you know, Uh it's tough. It's tough for rookie quarterbacks,

101
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: just like it's tough on any rookie in the NFL. Uh,

102
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: but rookie quarterbacks you see a lot of different coverages

103
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: and mixed coverages and you know you you've done. You've

104
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: thrown this ball so many times between high school and

105
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: uh you're first starting the NFL, and it's just it's

106
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: not a good throw, but you have made it so

107
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: many times or whatever it is, and uh, and you've

108
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: gotten away with it. But then when you throw it

109
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: and the higher six games, uh, they start to get

110
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: picked off. But I think he's learning from that and

111
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: uh he's not making those throws it's much anymore. And

112
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: uh he's learning. So he Uh he's a fast learner.

113
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: Um he he had. He doesn't have a many games

114
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: under his belt in the league. And I think he's

115
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: gonna be a very good quarterback uh for that organization

116
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: for a long time. But you know he uh he

117
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: has to figure that out by myself. You know, we're

118
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: not gonna make it any easier on them, uh than

119
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: we did in week two. And uh we still got

120
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: the same guys out there, you know, looking at looking

121
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: to make the same place. How do you how does

122
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: it feel to be tuned four? I answer, but yeah,

123
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: uh it stinks. Honestly it stinks. Uh. You know, I

124
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: can sit up here and say we could have been,

125
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: or we should have been, or we we could, but

126
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: the reality of it is we're tuned four. And uh,

127
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: nobody in the locker room wants to be tune four.

128
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: Nobody in the locker room Uh is happy about that record. Uh.

129
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: But the one thing that we all are we encouraged.

130
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: It's not the end of the season. All hasn't been said,

131
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: it's not written in a record book yet, so we

132
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: can change that. We can change that, and that's why

133
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: why we all encourage. We all know what we can

134
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: do better, we all know what we need to do better,

135
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: and we're gonna go out there and do it better.

136
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: We have to or it can get ugly real fast.

137
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: But like like you you've seen, we're not letting it happen.

138
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: Nobody has came in here sad, depressed, or you know,

139
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 1: mentally out of it. Everybody's still layers and focus on

140
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: the goal that we have in hand. And we still

141
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: can accomplish every goal we started out and besides being undefeated,

142
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: besides you know that we started out in the beginning

143
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: of the season, so we have so much ahead of us.

144
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: And you know, the past has been kind of quite

145
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 1: frankly shitty for us. You know, we didn't have some

146
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: bad breaks, but we also haven't made plays. You know,

147
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: we can't can't chance of everything to look but uh,

148
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, going forward, we just got to make those

149
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: plays and come up with those tight games, is there

150
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: still a feeling I'll process with your teammates like we know,

151
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: we know, we know who we have in a locker room.

152
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: We know exactly what we have in a locker room.

153
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: And uh, it's tough. Maybe football people get banged up

154
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: and you know you gotta especially with the COVID stuff,

155
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: you gotta kind of rotate pieces like that, But we

156
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: know who you have in the locker room. Is that

157
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: a double ed jordanal where obviously we heart from the

158
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: teammates like johnas telling us we don't feel like we're

159
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: two and four. You're saying we know who we have

160
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: that locker room where like if you hope we'll be

161
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: board right, like we have nothing there. But it might

162
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: be frustrating that with all that you've only been two

163
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: and four so far, I mean just losing games. Like

164
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: if you're a competitor, true competitor's gonna be frustrating regardless

165
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: when you lose. Even if we was five one, we're

166
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: still thinking about that one. We'd be happy about the five, right,

167
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: we'd be happy about to five, but we will still

168
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: be harboring on that one, like what could we do

169
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: better to be six? And oh sitting here in six

170
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: and though so if you a true competitor, you want

171
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 1: to win every game you're playing in and that just

172
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: helps you going forward. Like maybe you do have uh,

173
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: let's say, I don't want to say any injury. So

174
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: maybe we have an outbreak of you know, COVID cases

175
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,599
Speaker 1: and you know, we're down bad, and we kind of

176
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: slip two games, you know, if we're six, and oh,

177
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: it definitely helps us, you know, But now where we are,

178
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,599
Speaker 1: we have those type of things, and it's kind of like,

179
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: you know, she's it hurts, it hurts bad. So we

180
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: we all like to be you know, ahead on account,

181
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: but we're not right now. And we know, like I said,

182
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: we know who we are have in our locker room,

183
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: and we're not gonna get down on ourselves. We're not

184
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: gonna get down on ourselves. I won't let anybody coming

185
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: there and think they're a bad football player. You know,

186
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: we all have seen bad football players, and I don't

187
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: think we have any of those on the team. And

188
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: so not one guy. And so I think that we

189
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: just got to play better and execute well in situations

190
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, two or three situations here here

191
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: or there, and then any given game, any game we

192
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: played in we'll be sitting here at a different record,

193
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, at a different time and a different mindset.

194
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: But now we're not. We know, we don't live in

195
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: the earth, or we don't live in it. We could

196
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: have been. We're living in here and now and right

197
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: now we're tu and four. But we don't have a

198
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: Tune four football team in there. But that is our record.

199
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys,
