WEBVTT - Pennington: Fitzpatrick Providing Stability 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.880 Welcome to Jets Audibles. Eric Allen here joined by Chad 0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:09.680 Pennington as always, Well Chad, we started this podcast a 0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:13.960 couple of weeks ago, and the Jets are undefeated. Uh, 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:16.479 so you're bringing good luck to the Green and White, 0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:19.960 your former team. How do you feel about that? Anything 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:22.000 I can do to help, Eric, that's always a deal. 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:23.960 The more more you can do, more valuable you are. 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:27.520 Before we start talking about the Jets in their latest 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:31.560 victory when over the Colts, Uh, give us an update 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:35.000 on how your coaching career is going, because I know 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:37.360 you had a big game last week against the heavily 0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:39.400 favorite football team. How did you guys play in your 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:44.680 underdog role? Well, we actually did well. We Uh we 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:48.320 won the game twenty to sixteen, and uh, kids played 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.800 really really well against the real physical team. Unfortunately, we 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:56.040 suffered a heartbreaking six to zero loss last night. Um, 0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:59.960 so it's we're railing this morning, but we're gonna observe 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:01.720 of the twenty four hour rold and get back to 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:04.240 work this afternoon. All right, So give us an update 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.800 on that. This is your middle school team you're coaching, 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:10.960 right and your and your son calls on it. Yeah, 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.640 it's it's a middle school B team. Uh, we're not 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.840 experienced enough to be able to play a top eight 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.200 team schedule in the city of Lexington, but it's a 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:21.839 B team and we play wrecked teams. And the whole 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:25.080 goal is to give these kids attending this private school 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:28.080 a chance to experience football and if they want to 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.480 try to play high school football, they feel confident and 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:34.039 prepared that they can do so. So it's it's been 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.640 a good experience and I've enjoyed it. Well, how were 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.679 you able to pull off that upset because a lot 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:43.800 of people thought last week going into their into that matchup, 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:46.760 you guys might be in for a tough night, but 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:50.760 you did pull off the s win. Well. Kids worked 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.200 really really hard on the game plan throughout the week 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.560 and uh, they decided that they were going to be 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.440 physical and they were going to match physicality physicality, and 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:03.520 they executed extremely, extremely well, and they're over they're able 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.000 to overcome and Birsty twice where we were down twice 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.160 in the game and came back to win in the end, 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.920 and then we had a big fourth pound stop was 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.400 five seconds left on on our own fifteen yard line 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.440 to seal the deal. So It was really exciting. The 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.359 kids are really excited about it. How does Chad Pennyton, 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.200 the coach, celebrate a victory because I asked Todd Bowls 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:27.200 about this last week. He said, with chips, ahoy and 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:31.040 one percent milk before he goes to bed. That's how 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:36.680 he celebrates. How about you, Jed, Well, it depends. It depends. Actually, 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:41.120 it depends on what um food truck is out at 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:45.800 the game. Our parents order a different food truck every week, uh, 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.320 for people to be able to get snacks and confessions. 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:52.240 And so last night I had to lament in my 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.440 loss with sweet lilies with two big chili hot dogs 0:02:56.040 --> 0:03:01.920 and vanilla yogurt. Oh my god, that's uh not actually 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:07.360 the postgame uh snack of champions. No, I didn't reward 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.320 myself because we lost. I went with the fattening route. 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:12.920 All right, So let's talk about the Jets. What do 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:16.600 you think about them? The way they played Monday night 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.600 in Indianapolis. A lot of folks before the game thought 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.480 this might be a tough matchup, and we talked about 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.919 it last week, and you thought they had a good 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:30.080 chance going into it. I certainly did. And I think 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:34.120 the word for Monday Nights victory was efficiency. I saw 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:39.960 that both defensively and offensively. Uh the Jets were efficient. Uh. 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:45.360 Nothing spectacular, nothing flashy, not a sexy victory, but a 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:49.000 just a good, hard nosed, solid team win. I thought 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:53.080 there was a lot of complimentary football played in that game, 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.440 and uh so it was a very efficient victory for 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.640 the Jet. Uh. So We're gonna take a Twitter question 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.960 here Early because I like this one because a lot 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:07.720 of people are interacting over all the various social platforms 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:09.280 during the game, as do you know, and a lot 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.680 of people were asking me this during the game, Chad, 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:13.480 so I wanted to get this out of the way. 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:18.080 Early Loving writes in US do you think the Jets 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.880 got too conservative with the play calling last game in 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:25.800 the second half. His concern is that should have scored 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:30.800 some more points off of those turnovers. Um. I don't 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:35.080 think it was conservative in nature as much as the 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.640 lack of execution off of those turnovers. I certainly agreed, 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.160 you have five turnovers, Uh, you need to be able 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.640 to score more than twenty points. But I think also 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:50.440 the coaching staff recognized in the second half, especially that 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:54.120 the coach the cults were really and because they are 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.760 their struggles. They wanted to make sure as a team 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:02.720 that Jets didn't breathe lie into the Colts situation with 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.520 turnovers or bad plays, negative plays and things like that. 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:08.960 So they were playing it close to the vest and 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.680 they want to make sure that they did not give 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.360 the Colts any momentum that if there were any breaks 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.240 being created, Colts would have to create those brakes. And 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.840 they were unable to the one break that they did 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.640 create with the scoring drive to make it tend to seven. 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.320 That's where the complementary football came in. You saw the 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.240 Jets open it back up, move the ball right down 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.679 the field and score to make it a ten point 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:36.119 game midway through the fourth quarter, which was really really big. 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.560 That that sealed the deal right there. It really took 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.880 took the momentum away from the Colds. What does that say, 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:45.200 that drive, because that's what it was all about. Right there, 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:47.640 as you just said it's time to seven, the crowd 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.440 got back in the game. I'm sitting there in the 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.839 press box way up towards Heaven in Indianapolis, were way 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.839 up there, but the place was rocking man in the past. 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.799 This might be a by of but a moment Chad 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:05.279 where the game could have slipped away, but the Jets 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:09.560 did have the answer. And what does that say about 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:14.280 their confidence in Chan and Ryan Fitzpatrick Mi Chan Gailey 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:18.760 came out firing football on that drive, on the drive 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:22.760 that sealed the game. Well, I think the word that 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.520 should be used in a situation as maturity. I think 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.640 you have a mature offense and it first starts with 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.280 your veteran quarterback. And like we said two weeks ago, 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:35.640 I believe that the acquisition of Ryan Fitzpatrick has given 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:40.640 stability to the Jets team. Uh And so that's what 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.720 he was able to produce on Monday Night as well, 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:47.839 stability During a rocky situation where it's tendo seven, the 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:51.560 Colts gain a little momentum, the crowd gets involved. Chan 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:55.240 puts the game in Ryan's hands, He dishes the ball 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.560 to his receivers, he goes to his playmakers. The running 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.280 game then starts to time to life. Have a couple 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.720 of big plays and running game to keep the drive going. 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.599 And it was just a very mature drive and a 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.840 very mature offense out there that did not succumb to 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.920 the momentum pressure of the Coats. Eric ducker. He's got 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.000 a spring knees day to day wolf to see if 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:22.920 he plays on Sunday. Before I take the next Twitter question, 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.120 what what I want to ask here is what do 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.640 you think about him being used in the slot? Because 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:35.239 we talked about this even before coming on air. Is that? Wow? 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:39.480 Him matched up against the linebackers just a huge mismatch 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.720 and the Jets went to it early and often the 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.720 other night. Uh, what do you think about him in 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:48.080 the slot? And also how are teams gonna adjust to 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:52.920 that down the line over the next fourteen games. Well, 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.720 I think it's awesome to see him in the slot, 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.480 first of all, and I think it really shows his 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:02.240 versatility and one he's able to do. Last year he 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.840 was called upon to make plays on the outside. This 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:06.960 year he's been called upon to make plays up on 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.440 the inside. He's been able to do both and it 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.679 really shows his versatility. He was outstanding in the first 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.560 half with his route running. His route running was very crisp, 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.640 his timing was Fitzpatrick was on the money, and he 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.400 was finding the spots and really making some big plays, 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.680 keeping drives alive. And because he was doing that, that 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.520 then opened up the outside for Brandon Marshall in the 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:33.280 second half. So those two players, Decker and Marshall, they 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:35.480 go hand in hand with each other, I think since 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:39.440 Patrick feels very comfortable with both of them and they're 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:43.000 just mature, solid professional football players that know how to 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.200 play the game. Power team is going to address though. 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:51.880 You think because the Colts were doubling Brandon predominantly throughout 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:57.960 the evening, whereas Decker was getting free and he was 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.640 matched up sometimes with linebackers, and and that just is 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.440 a big time advantage to the Jets. How do you 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.839 think teams are gonna change up their strategy one to 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:12.600 fund in this offense? They will start to opponents will 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:14.920 start to look at tendencies of the Jett and see 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.680 when Decker is used and how he has used and 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.920 then also look at Marshall, and they'll have to change 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.800 up their coverages. Sometimes they may choose to double Decker 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.840 in certain situations. Sometimes they may choose to double Brandon Marshall. 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.400 Other times they may may leave him one on one 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:33.199 and try to get more pressure on the quarterback. Uh, 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.079 that's that's the first thing you try to do is 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:39.480 try to find ways to take advantage of protection. Schemes 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:44.280 so that quarterback doesn't have time to make the correct row. Uh, 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.200 he's always harassed or moving him off his spot, putting 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.680 him on the run. That's what the Jets did to 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.400 the Colts and it worked out great. So there will 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.320 be different philosophies with that, and the Jets will have 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.520 to react accordingly each week. All right, So if Decker 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:03.280 can't go on Sunday, and Jake Crespy writes then asked 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.920 this question, how do you think that impacts the offense? 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.400 It certainly impacts that, There's no doubt about it. First 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:15.000 of all, it puts a little bit more responsibility on 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.120 the two young receivers to make sure that they are 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.800 crisp and they're oute running and that they're doing things 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.720 that uh, that Decker was doing in the slot. They're 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.280 gonna have they're gonna be caught upon, uh to be 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:28.400 able to do some of those things. And then also 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:30.840 the running backs will then have to get more involved 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:34.640 in the passing game as well, and it may may 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:38.280 call upon the running game to do some things uh um, 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:40.520 you know, to really create some big plays in the 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:44.600 running games. So it certainly affects Jets. It doesn't shut 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.960 them down, But it changes the mindset because you're taking 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.760 out a very good professional football player out of the mix. 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:56.200 And uh, and then it also will allow teams not 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.520 to worry about an Eric Decker in the slot and 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.440 they can put more emphasis on Brandon Marshall. So uh, 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.600 two young receivers have really got to step up and 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.600 make some plays for the Jeffery. Yeah, because all teams, 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:12.360 you know this, face adversity with injuries. Everybody in the 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.160 National Football League dealing with injuries. But for the Jets, 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.360 it could be interesting this weekend because if Decker is down, 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:22.720 Coach Todd Bowls set on ESPN Radio this week that 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.240 Chris Woozoo has a leg injury and he could be 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:30.880 out for as many as two games. So that means, 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:34.320 like you're talking about the young receivers, Quincy Noonwa, he 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:37.680 could step into a more prominent role. And the other 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:41.800 guy that Jets fans continue to ask about is Jeremy Curly. Well, 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.120 he hasn't got a lot of run here early in 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:47.600 the season, but he might have to step up for 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:52.719 this team. And thirdly is Devin Smith. The rookie has 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:56.800 been practicing full for this squad, but he messed so 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.640 many rops during training camp. The Jets did not rush 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:04.080 him back into the lineup last week. He might be 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.800 up this week and stepped into some kind of role, 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:11.520 the Jets have said. Jane Gaily said last week, Hey, listen, 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.640 we're not gonna put him in too many positions right now. 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:20.200 We're gonna keep him at one spot. And I would imagine, Uh, 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:24.080 that's probably means he'll be playing outside. Don't you think that, Jack? 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:28.080 Considering he missed the better part of training camp X 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.880 except for a few days, he's just spun back of practice, 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.800 uh for a week and a half, two weeks. Do 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.119 you think that means that he'll be playing more outside? 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.800 No question. And that's what he was used to doing 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.760 at Ohio State as well. He was a deep threat. 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.360 He was a big ball skills guy on the outside. 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.680 And so when you have a young receiver with his ability, 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.400 what you do you simplifying thought process. You put him 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.840 on the outside and give him a few routes to 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.040 really concentrate on and get good at, and then you 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.040 try to take advantage of that let him use his 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:02.079 rollability to help your team make a play. The Jets 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.040 are in a good situation though. Having Jeremy Curley there, 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.920 he can step in. He's an inside route runner. He's 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.839 been successful in the past. It's a great situation to 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:12.920 be in if you're the Jets. And then the noon 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.240 wall did a great job. He had a great deep 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.800 crossing route that he made a catch on for Fitzpatrick 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.040 in the game on Monday. He'll be asked to do 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.840 a little bit more so. Uh, this is why we 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.360 call the game of football a team game, and when 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:30.800 your team faces adversity due to injury, other players have 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:35.320 to step up. Any concerned they're about the run game. Uh. 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.760 Obviously the Colts gave the Jets some difficulties with the 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:42.480 way they were moving and stunning up front, but I 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.400 thought they stayed with it and they sprang a couple 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.760 of runs there in the second half with Ivory and 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:53.679 blah blah. Yeah, it was a workman type a performance 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:57.200 for the offensive line. It wasn't flashy. There weren't a 0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:59.600 lot of big plays, but there weren't a lot of 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.000 negative plays either. That's what I was looking at when 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.880 I was watching the game the second time. There weren't 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:08.080 very many big negative plays that they may have you know, 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.559 a handful of plays that maybe went for a yard 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.360 or no game or minus two, but there weren't just 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:17.079 big negative plays that to give the coach defense momentum. Uh. 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.880 Coach Bagano's defense and coach Mahowski, they do a really 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.560 good job of stopping the run. It's very hard to 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.400 run against their defense. But the Jets kept that if 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.240 they kept it in the game plan. They did in 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:30.800 the board the running game, and you saw the running 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.480 game make some big plays for the Jets in the 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:35.880 fourth quarter on those two scoring drives. And that's what 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.280 you're looking at in the first three quarters. If you 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.080 can grind on the defense, wear them down, and then 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.320 in the fourth quarter you break through with a couple 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:47.120 of big runs to keep scoring drives alive. That's a 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.720 recipe for success. And you look at the stats, they 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.360 weren't great, but they did eclips the one hundred yard 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.600 mark and they were efficient. Uncle Joel wants to know, chat, 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:59.160 do you think the Jets can make real noise with 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:03.400 just a ball control offense that he says as an 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:09.160 average in a passing week. Well, I don't look at 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.280 the Jets as a ball control offense. I look at 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:14.720 their first two performances as an offense. That first of all, 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.080 they're feeling their way out. They have a new coordinator, 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:23.160 new quarterback, new positions in key areas, new players, and so, uh, 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.560 they're feeling their way through it. That while they're feeling 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.000 their way through it, they're finding ways to be productive. 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:30.960 They're finding ways to score in the red zone, finding 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.600 ways to complement their defense and and get some points 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:38.000 off of these turnovers. So I see the Jets getting 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:41.080 better and improving throughout the season as long as the 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.760 injury bug doesn't hit them. And so that's that's going 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:48.200 to be the key. And and the other key is 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:51.440 when the defense isn't able to have the opponent turn 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:54.600 the ball over four or five times, can the offense 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.600 step up and score thirty points? I certainly think they're 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:00.040 capable of doing that. When you have a help a 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.920 Deck or Brandon Marshall, Chris Ivory below Paul, those type 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:08.520 of guys, they're capable of doing that. Yeah. And let's 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:12.280 be clear here too. The Jets are averaging twenty five 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.160 and a half points a game. They scored thirty one 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.640 in the opener in twenty in Week two, and both 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:22.600 of those victories victories were by double digits, and that's 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.440 tough to do in the National Football League. When you 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.840 look at the other side of the ball, do you 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:35.120 think the Jets confused luck or was it more of 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:40.040 sheer pressure got to him? As far as the Jets 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:43.320 blitz packages were really good and they brought the numbers 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.560 and he just didn't have too much time to throw 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:50.720 in most instance instances when you look at his interceptions, 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.600 I don't think I saw the interceptions as being bad decisions. 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:59.200 I saw the interceptions as being due to the pressure, 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:02.000 having to throw a ball a little bit early, getting 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:05.040 your arm hit on the outlout, not being able to 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:08.480 step into a throw. Uh. Those those are the types 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:11.000 of things that happened. And that's why, even though you 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:14.080 don't see sacks, when you see that type of pressure 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:17.119 that has affected the quarterback in that way, that is 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:21.000 just as effective, if not more effective, than the actual sack. 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.520 And that's what the Jets have really done. They've been 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:27.280 able to create one on one matchups where their pass 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:30.720 rushers and their defensive players can win those matchups, and 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:34.040 then in some instances they've been able to create schemes 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:37.520 where they've just been free defenders coming free to to 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.080 get pressure on the quarterback as well. So I didn't 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:42.720 see confusion by luck. I just saw a quarterback that 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:46.200 was harassed, that was hurried with his throws and sometimes 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:51.080 got his arm hit as well. How creative were Todd 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:55.000 Bulls and Casey Rodgers and how much do you enjoy 0:17:55.000 --> 0:18:00.000 watching their play calling when you broke down the film? Well, 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.240 first of all, what you see just from bird's eye 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:05.040 view is you see stability on the sideline. You don't 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:08.480 see a staff that gets too high, staff it gets 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:12.400 too low. You see you see a calm uh stable 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:16.000 sideline and staff. And then then you also see a 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:20.000 head coach and a defensive coordinator working well together and 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.560 not worrying about who's going to get the credit and 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:26.360 who designed what scheme, but working well together and complimentary, 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:30.000 complimenting each other, making adjustice that they need to make 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:34.840 to get the job done defensively. Ten takeaways. That's something 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:38.119 else will that get into the mind of an opposing 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.919 offense like Philadelphia is coming here and they're struggling you 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:45.280 and Sam Bradford and company. The does that pop out 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.399 at you during the week that can net get opposing 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:52.720 tight because now the Jets defense is starting to create 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:55.640 this culture of taking the ball away. Because last year 0:18:55.880 --> 0:19:00.760 Jet thirteen takeaways, they got ten in two weeks. Well, 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.520 what's going to happen is the opponent is going to 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:07.600 game plan and talk about in their team meetings. We 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.400 can not afford to turn the ball over. We must 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:14.920 force the Jets to beat us straight up without turning 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:17.520 the ball over. It's similar to when I was with 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:19.399 the Jets and we would play the Dolphins, and we 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:22.800 knew that the Dolphins had a really, really good defense. 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:25.520 We knew going into the game we cannot turn the 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:28.040 ball over, we cannot let the pass rushers get to us, 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:30.720 and we had to force their offense to try to 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:33.159 beat us. And so that's going to have to be 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:35.840 the mindset of the opponent to see if the Jets 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:38.080 can win a game like that, whether there aren't a 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:42.320 lot of turnovers in short fields. Harold brights in and asked, 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:45.080 how can the Jets defense slow down a quarterback like 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:49.879 Sam Bradford in Philadelphia's hurry Up. It's a good question 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:53.960 whether and what are the inherent challenges of facing an 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:57.680 offense like Phillies that's pretty unique in the National Football 0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:01.880 league when you face hurry up offense and facing offense 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:04.879 like the Philadelphia Eagles, Uh, there's there's three keys in 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:08.919 my opinion. Number one is defensive communication. Getting lined up 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:12.920 the hurry up offensive design where the defense can't communicate, 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:16.280 and then you find a defender out of place, you 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:18.560 get out leverage. You're not in the spots that you 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:21.119 normally are because you have been able to huddle and 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:23.960 get your calls in on time. So number one's communication. 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:27.040 I think Number two is physicality. You have to match 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:31.600 their tempo by being physical and being able to punch 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:34.560 them in the mouth and get get after them just 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:36.280 as much as they want to get after you with 0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:39.160 their tempo, you need to get after them with your physicality. 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:42.400 And then and then three, I think the biggest key 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:46.600 to Philadelphia's offense and stopping them is the first down production. 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:50.920 If they get that first down play positive yards eight 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:54.600 nine seniards and they get that drive started, very difficult 0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:58.240 to stop that momentum. Remember watching the Seattle Seahawks against 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:01.640 the Eagles last year, they it very well on first down, 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:05.480 making sure that the Eagles were not successful on first down, 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:09.800 which slowed the tempo of the offense. Down. You're surprised 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:12.560 by their early season struggles. I know a lot can 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:14.679 change in the National Football League, but you look at 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:18.880 the Marco Murray's numbers is I don't even know if 0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:21.240 he's average in the yard per carry. They haven't been 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:23.720 able to get anything going on the ground at all. 0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:26.800 And Bradford's struggle at times. He's got four interceptions here 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:31.080 early in the season. Well, what you've seen, you've seen 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:34.480 a team that is definitely trying to learn each other. 0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:36.960 You have some moving parts. You've got a new quarterback, 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:40.360 you've got a new running back. You lost the uh 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:44.800 a great professional football player and Lizonel McCoy um, so 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:47.720 you you've got a lot of moving parts. Here was 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:50.000 trying to figure it out in preseason. The ball is 0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:53.840 completely different than the regular season football. So they they 0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:57.000 typically figure it out and they typically get going. But 0:21:57.160 --> 0:21:59.919 right now they're struggling with it and they certainly have issue. 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:04.000 And when you're facing the struggling team uh as as 0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:06.040 the Jets are, you've got to make sure that you 0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:09.440 don't breathe life into them by making your own mistakes, 0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:12.720 that you stay efficient UH and you stay close to 0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:15.280 the best of what you're trying to get accomplished and 0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:17.720 don't give them any life to get the moment I'm 0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:20.600 going in their faith. Like you mentioned before, how much 0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:25.040 you appre appreciating, uh, this team's patience so far this 0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:27.919 season when you're talking about the Jets, because you know 0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:31.760 that Cleveland game, there were some spots early where you know, 0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:34.399 they give up a nine minute drive, they give up 0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:37.200
