Do good with Kendrick Scott. 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.680 We are doing good with Q What is up? 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:07.720 My man? Oh man? 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.119 I can't complain everything as well. I love coming back 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.280 to the building. Brings me back, you know, So those 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:14.880 are always great memories. 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:14.800 All right. 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:18.720 So from a player's perspective, when the schedule is released, 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:20.319 do you pay any attention to it? 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:22.720 Just a little bit, you know? Everybody's different. I'd say 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:25.840 for myself, I think back to like twenty sixteen, we 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:29.759 play the Chiefs and we play the forty nine Ers, 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.280 if I'm not mistaken, and those two games are important 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:33.959 to me because I grew up a Chiefs fan, and 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.920 then my family's from California, so I'm like, okay, where 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:38.679 am I going to see my family? So I just 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:40.760 had to make sure I knew when that time was coming. 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.560 All right. You guys are creatures of habit, though, do 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.160 you ever look at the times of games or travel 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:51.720 Because for the Jets from their perspective, this year thirteen 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:56.920 one o'clock games, not many travel miles either, about half 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.080 of them one trip to London. 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.600 Yeah, no, I think that's definitely a big part of it. 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:01.800 You know. 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:03.840 I think you love the Pride Time game just because 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.640 you get more eyes on you. But it's always good 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.840 to get a one o'clock game. Then you get your nights, 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:12.080 you know, to recover, and it's not so late, right, 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:13.520 so you get to play the game, you get to 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.280 do your work, and then you get to go home 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.960 and enjoy yourself obviously after a win. 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.520 So what was your game day prep like? If you 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.239 knew a one o'clock game was on the rise, because 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.799 that's where the Jets are gonna start at the friendly 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.920 confines of MetLife Stadium week one against the Steelers and 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.000 then week two against the Buffalo Bills. 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.000 It was pretty simple. You know. 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.960 Obviously I would wake up. I tried to wake up 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.560 before breakfast so I can kind of get my mind 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.720 ready for the day. Go down to get breakfast, you know, 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:45.679 go over any notes I need to have, watch a 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.840 little bit of film, and then from there, you know, 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.720 I'm at the stadium probably as early as possible. You know, 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:52.560 if it's in away game, then you have certain busses 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.799 that will leave at certain times, but if it's a 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:56.520 home game, you could just drive there. So I try 0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:00.040 to get there pretty early. Because what's pretty early, I 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:04.800 want to say like ten, maybe around there, nine thirty, 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.400 just so I can kind of I like to So 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.120 what I like to just get here is early. I 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.000 mean you saw me say I guy here early. I 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:12.920 don't always like to do that. 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.400 Yeah, we're taking a nine ques already on the staircase 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.240 at eight fifteen saying where the hell is everybody? 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:21.560 So you know, I like to get early and just 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.000 kind of get comfortable, you know, so I like to 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.040 walk on the field, you know, just kind of look 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.720 at the bleachers, look at the sign, like I don't know, 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.280 I like to ground myself in the place that I'm at. 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:37.880 All right, So, holistically, thirteen one o'clock games, two prime 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:42.680 time games for the Jets. Your thoughts in terms of 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.200 the change and maybe what the league expects from the 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:46.160 team this year. 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.280 I mean, to be honest with you, let's just talk 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.560 about ag I think it's exactly what he wants, right, Like, 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.800 he'ss not looking at a season like we've had the 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.400 last couple of years, where it's so many primetime games, 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.400 so much attention. I think this is exactly what they're 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.480 looking for. Less eyes on them, so they can just 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.760 kind of work, right. Those one o'clock games will have 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:04.680 just kind of the local people and anybody wants to 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.320 tune into a Jets game. And so for the team, 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.680 it's like, okay, you know, we don't have as much expectation, 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.480 but that's okay because we can come from the bottom 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:12.960 and really show what we're capable of. 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.039 How about the storylines there in Week one? The Jets 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.160 and the Steelers have never met in a season opener. 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:24.560 Justin Fields is new here the QB one for the 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.599 Green and White. He signs an offseason. He was the 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.839 starter for the Steelers last year, appeared in ten games, 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:33.280 started six, but after leading the Steelers to a four 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.160 and two start, they gave the keys to Russell Wilson. 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:40.640 He signs, Field signs with the Jets and free agency, 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.200 and now his first start with the Jets comes against 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:43.760 the Steelers. 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:44.200 Yeah. 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.279 I mean there's going to be a lot of storylines there, obviously, 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.719 and I think the biggest one for him will be 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.520 the emotional part of it. I think you think about 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:54.320 this is his first game as a starter for the 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.560 New York Jets and it's against your former team. I 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.480 don't think there's any animosity for him against but I 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.400 know from what he's spoken about, they didn't let him 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.039 be his best self at quarterback, right. There was a 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.240 little bit of they didn't have confidence in him to 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.720 be the starter. They didn't give him the reins to 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:12.360 just go ahead and do everything he wanted to do. 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.120 So I think he wants to go out there and 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.600 show like, this is what I'm capable of. And one 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.160 thing I like about ag is that He's putting a 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.240 lot of confidence in his coaches, so we're gonna see 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.800 hopefully the best version of him because they're going to 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:23.400 coach him hard. 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.479 What do you think feels is capable? This is his 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.600 third team, obviously drafted by the Chicago Bears' number eleventh 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:33.240 overall back in twenty twenty one, then traded to the Steelers. 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.039 This is his fifth season coming up. 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.120 Yeah, yeah, I mean it's crazy to think about that, 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.440 but I think you know, we've seen what he's done, right, 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.080 He's done something that maybe only I think two other 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.240 quarterbacks have done in the running game as a quarterback. 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.960 So that's amazing, right. His legs are elite. Right now, 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:50.360 we've got to see a little bit more of his arm. 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:51.880 I know that he can throw the ball. He has 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.640 some issues with accuracy at times, but I think what 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.840 we're going to see here is the ability to add 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.040 in the play action pass right, So that'll give him 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.400 the opportunity to make those quick passes like you think 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.920 about like tool right, Like their offense is so quick. 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:07.960 He's an accurate quarterback, but they also don't make him 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:09.600 think too much. It's just kind of getting the ball 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.080 out of there. I kind of want to see that 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.120 a little bit with him and allow him to use 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.599 his legs really be a dual threat, because then it'll 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:17.200 kind of put a little pressure on the defense. 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.040 Do you like the Jets overall starting at home though, 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.880 in front of their fans, You know that atmosphere is 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:26.400 gonna be crazy because those Pittsburgh fans travel pretty well themselves. 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.919 That's the national brand Jets Steelers. 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.960 Yeah, no, I think so. I think that first home game, 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.479 or that first game being a home game is deep 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.560 because you know, you want to get that fan base 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:39.920 kind of on your side early, right, and so when 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:41.640 you can get that, when you go out on the 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:42.960 field and everybody's cheering. 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:45.760 For you, you. 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.640 Know, there's so much more excitement. Now on the other 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:48.719 side of it. I do love playing the villain, you know, 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.760 I don't mind going to it in an away game 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.520 and everybody's kind of booing you. But it's something about 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.960 everybody cheering you as an entertainer that feels pretty good. 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.440 All right. Who's going to be the Pittsburgh Steelers starting 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.680 quarterback in Week one? Huh? Is it a guy who 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:03.520 started seventeen games for the Jets last year? 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:04.279 That's that? 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.640 It could be. I mean, I wouldn't put it past him, 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:09.120 but you know again, I don't. 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:09.640 I don't know. 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.040 It's hard to tell, Like you really don't know what 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.440 he's thinking. Obviously, we you know, we've we've we've dealt 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.960 with that, so we are going to see. It's getting 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:20.240 down to the wire, right He's starting to start. OTA's 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:21.560 you know, you kind of want to be in there 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:23.960 getting used to your guys, getting used to the system. 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:25.960 So I guess we're gonna find out if he goes 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:29.200 there otherwise makes the Rudolph exactly that that would be 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:29.760 the next guy. 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:34.880 I love it from the perspective of yes Fields against 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:39.240 the Steelers, the Moujik Glenn era gets underway at home. 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.320 Maybe Aaron Rodgers is facing his former team, the Jets. 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:47.000 But how about the jets vastly improved offensive line. You 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.040 got some depth pieces you draft ar My Membu is 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:53.000 gonna be competing for that right tackle spot against the 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:57.960 defensive line that starts with TJ. Watt, one of the 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.400 better defensive players in the National Football Cam Hayward's still there. 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.680 They drafted Derek Harmon in the first round as well. 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:06.960 This is a defense that gets after you and you know, 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.040 the Jets offensive mentality is going to be completely different 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.080 than it was last year when they were thirty second 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:16.120 in the National Football League in terms of rush attempts. 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.480 The Jets are going to try to win at the 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:22.960 line of scrimmage. And you know, the Steelers played bullie 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:23.600 ball themselves. 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.760 Yes, And one thing that we didn't talk about is, 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.240 you know, last year that wasn't the best game for 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.200 the Jets against the Steelers. But one thing I do 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.640 remember was Garrett Wilson had a pass that you know, 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:34.400 bounced off his chest. I know he's going to want 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.600 to come back. And now he's got his guys quarterback 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.439 they got exactly right, exactly He's gonna want to come 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.040 back and kind of prove that you know, this is 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.000 not you know, you guys are gonna play me at 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:44.600 my best self, right, And now I have my guy 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.400 from college. That synergy there is going to be amazing 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.520 for him. I think when you think about having a 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.520 guy that you got a chance to really become who 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.920 you were in college, now you get to go out 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.160 here and show that this is who he's capable of. 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.280 I think he's going to want to show that justin 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.600 fields is that as well. So it's gonna be a 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.360 great showing for that first game. 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.520 Steelers got a big weapon on the outside and all 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.720 season Tk Metcalf, but then they just traded George Pickens 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:10.520 to the Cowboys. 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:12.280 Yeah, yeah, yeah, you thought it was gonna be a 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.120 little one two punch, but I guess they got tired. 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:18.559 I mean, listen, I don't know Pickett or Pickings personally, 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.480 but there's a lot of talk on the outside about, 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.400 you know, his attitude and stuff like that. So we 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.000 know that Tomlin is a guy that can deal with 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:30.000 some personalities, but it seems like they kind of recent 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:30.559 end of his lease. 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:32.640 I guess, all right, so quickly we're gonna go through 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.120 every game and then I'm going to ask see it 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.160 for a record for this. 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.080 Let me make sure I see this go ahead, all right? 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.080 So second game, Buffalo, that's a team that's won the 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:44.199 division the last five years. Josh Allen coming off in 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:49.200 MVP type season. So from your perspective now in the 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:54.000 media world, does that put a little bit of extra 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.560 on that home opener where you like to get at 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.560 least one in your pocket before you to the road. 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.040 In Week three against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, not saying 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:07.600 you can't beat the Bills. Yeah, but we'll follow on paper, 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.679 probably the more complete team than the Steelers. 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:12.560 And you know what's you know what's wild about that 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.600 is last year there's a lot of question marks on Buffalo, 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.079 especially in the receiver room, like they don't have anybody. 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.520 You know, they just lost Diggs and you know those 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.200 guys stepped up, so you know, now they have Elijah Moore, 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:24.840 it's gonna be a challenge. You think about those two 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.280 games that the Jets played against them last year. You know, 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:31.360 it wasn't exactly the best. Josh Allen did some ridiculous things, 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.240 So you definitely want to get that win. It's a 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.599 divisional game, but the first game is definitely gonna be 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.280 a win you're gonna want because that second game is 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:39.960 gonna be a battle. 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:44.079 Yeah, the Bills have won the last five AFC Eastern titles. 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:48.199 Week three going to Tampa. So Todd Bowles down there, 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:52.360 former Jets head coach. He was Aaron Glenn's positional coach, 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.640 both here with the Jets and later with the Dallas Cowboys. 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.600 How about this queue, Tampa is the only team in 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.840 the NFL he's made the playoffs in each of the 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:07.000 past five seasons, so quietly, just very consistent down there. 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:10.400 And if you're looking for a great story in terms 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:14.000 of a quarterback reclamation project, how about Baker Mayfield. So 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:17.320 Jets fans can look at Mayfield and say, hey, maybe 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:21.320 we got a different type player here with the physical 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:25.400 skill set. But Justin Fields is twenty six. His story's 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.360 not over by any. 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.040 Means at all, and I think that age is definitely 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:31.640 looking at that, right, He's looking at a guy like 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.200 Baker Mayfield. Obviously we talk all the time about Donald, 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.199 we talk all the time about Geno, but Mayfield is 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:38.560 another guy, you know, And I think that's something that 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.240 you want to look at and say, hey, listen, he 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.680 was coached this way. We put him in an environment 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.520 where he's successful. We gave him all the tools he needed, 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:46.680 and they're continue to give him tools. 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:46.800 Right. 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.280 They just drafted a Mecca a Buka. So yeah, I 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.959 think the Jets are looking at that mold and want 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:53.720 to do the same thing for Justin Fields. 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.880 Interesting challenge right away for the Jets secondary because you 0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:01.840 mentioned a book Mike Evans just produces year and yeah, wow, crazy. 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.600 Yeah, we're in the same Jeff guys. So see him 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.000 still going. I talked to him when we did the 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.320 joint practice, you know. So it's just cool to see 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.880 him continuing to be elite at a high level consistency, 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:13.280 like the model of consistency. 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.600 Wait, four Monday Night Football, Miami Dolphins. Yeah, so I'm 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.520 looking at the division and saying, hey, New England spend 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:21.800 a lot of money in free agency, a lot of 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.679 people really like their draft class. They got Mike Frable, 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.520 so they should be seeing it as a sending team. 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.640 I like what the Jets are doing here. Where does 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.160 Miami kind of fit in inside the division right now? 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:33.800 Yeah? 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.080 So that's it. That's a that's a good question. I 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:37.600 mean they've been in a little bit of a question 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.760 mark with two is health, right, So we're we're gonna see. 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:42.480 I know that there's another thing. Did they get rid 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:43.920 of Jayalen Ramsey or not? I know that was a 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:48.120 question mark, right, So that's another part there. Yeah, So 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.040 there's a lot going on there Tyreek Hill. So you 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.000 know they've got a lot. They got a cloud over them, 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:54.520 you know, So we're going to see how that looks 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.960 going into training camp and all those different things. How 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.520 does your team look this season. It's going to be different. 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:01.000 It's definitely going to be different. It's going to be 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:02.480 a little bit of a challenge for them to be 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:05.320 the team that we've seen at least two years ago. 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:08.320 Yeah, and what's going to happen with Tyreek Hill now 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.079 that he's on the back half of his career when 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:13.400 we were talking about thirty years old. They did take 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:17.400 Kenneth Grant, the defensive tackle out of Michigan there in 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:20.720 the first round. We'll try to get some players back 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:24.360 that they lost the injury last year. You know, they've 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.280 always been very competitive with two is in the lineup. 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.720 There's no doubt about that Monday Night football earlier in 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:33.520 the year. From a player's perspective, what do you have 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.439 to do to get yourself ready for South Florida is anything? 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:37.720 Yeah, definitely. 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:40.680 I mean because it helps us game. It's a different heat, 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:42.280 but yes, the night game is going to be helpful. 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:46.640 I love I love the primetime games. Honestly, you know, 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:51.160 those are the opportunity for I always say this, like 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.880 NFL players were entertainers, right, this is an entertainment business, 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.439 and so when you go out there knowing that old 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.960 eyes are on you. Different level that comes out of you. 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.680 So that's gonna be a lot of fun to watch. 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:07.400 I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun to play 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:07.760 as well. 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.079 So two division games in the first four, you have 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.120 Buffalo at home. You got the road game against the 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:15.800 Miami Dolphins the week four. Okay, let me throw a 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:19.960 couple games at you, all right, let's do it. America's team. Yeah, 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.880 the Dallas Cowboys coming back. That Dak Prescott returning from injury. 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:27.680 He's an elite player when he is healthy. We mentioned 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.880 Pickens before they got Cedee Lamb, so we got a 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:34.080 partner for Cedee Lamb Brian Schottenheimer now that head coach 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:37.320 of the Dallas Cowboys. So it sets up like this. 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:41.920 Miami won in a football short week home against Dallas, 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.760 and then you're going across the pond where you're gonna 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:50.160 be the home team against Denver Broncos at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium. 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:53.120 And Denver is the team who's made the playoffs, it 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:57.840 made the postseason last year. Yeah, So first six games 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:02.040 you're playing four team teams that made the postseason last year. 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.800 Pittsburgh and week one Buffalo. In Week two, Tampa on 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:09.760 Week three, and then finally the Broncos in Week six. 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:16.520 The other two games are at Miami divisional rival went 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.040 eight to nine last year, and then the Cowboys, who 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:23.160 have a lot of talent themselves. So for me, this 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.760 six game stretch is awfully difficult. 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.400 Yeah, definitely, But and I think that'll be something that 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:31.080 you talk about in the locker room. Is that or 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:32.240 excuse me, in the meeting rooms? 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:32.760 Is that? Listen? 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:34.880 Guys like these are some playoff teams, are teams that 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:36.600 made it to the playoffs last year, so we kind 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:39.240 of get to gauge who we are this year. Obviously 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:41.480 we have a whole new regime from the GM to 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:43.920 the head coach to the coaches in general, but you 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:45.640 kind of want to see, Okay, how do we measure 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:47.240 up to these teams that know what it looks like 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:48.080 to be in the playoffs. 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:51.480 Yeah, I totally agree with that. So after that game 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:56.200 against the Broncos, you come back home and you face 0:15:56.240 --> 0:16:01.200 the Carolina Panthers, and that's followed by gas against Cincinnati 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:08.040 Bengals the Cleveland Browns and did I skip our bye here? 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.640 Then you have a Thursday night actually after the Bengals, 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.640 you have your buys. So the week nine by so 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:19.800 it's Carolina followed by the Cincinnati Bengals. Who listen, Joe 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:21.359 Burrow and those receivers. 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.520 Yeah, just pay those guys too. 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:27.360 Yeah, you gotta get after them defensively though, Yeah, I 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:29.480 listen as far as the Jets are concerned. 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.280 That's why you drafted a corner and brought in another corner, right, 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:35.080 so you know you you you are ready for the 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:35.840 test this year. 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:41.640 Yeah, But offensively, you know, when you're looking at Cincinnati Bengals, 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:46.520 I mean the way you envisioned the Jets right now? Ye, 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:48.640 And I'm looking ahead the week nine on the schedule. 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:50.840 I know it's crazy, but I'm just saying from a 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:56.640 philosophical perspective, offensively, what do you think they want to be? 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.000 To be honest with you, I think they do want 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:02.960 to look like Detroit, you know. I think they're kind 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:04.840 of going in that mold. When you think about the draft, 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.239 when they drafted Arion Smith, I knew they wanted a 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:09.000 speed guy, they wanted to burn it. They didn't have 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:12.800 anybody like that on the roster, And now Detroit had 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:14.720 a guy in Jamison William who's a little more than 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.119 just speed, but he does have the speed, and that's 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.040 something that they didn't have on the roster. So they 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:20.520 want to look similar to that. You know, you have 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.320 three great backs. Detroit had two really good backs, you know, 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:26.000 so it's very much in that mold. The one big 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.560 difference will be the quarterback and his ability to move. Now, 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.040 how are they going to switch there? Tanner Ainstran is 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:32.800 gonna have a little bit of a challenge because I 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.400 don't think he's had a quarterback that can move like him. 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:37.840 But that's a good challenge to have, you know. So 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:39.840 I'm excited to see how they can incorporate that. 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:44.359 Do you like fields as far as his opportunities in 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:46.960 the play action game if you get the run game gone, 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:51.600 because that's where Detroit completely excels. Yeah, where they started 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:55.480 dominating the line, pushing guys off the line of scrimmage 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:58.320 and then everybody was playing run and they go up top. 0:17:58.520 --> 0:17:59.160 Yeah, exactly. 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:03.439 And and one other extra piece that they had was 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:05.840 I talk about this repeatedly that they were a big 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:08.240 yak team too. So you know, you get that play 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:09.920 action pass and if you can't go deep, if you 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.040 can get it to somebody in the short shallow routes. 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:14.120 You know, you give him opportunity to make a big play. 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:15.800 They've got some guys that can do that for you. 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:18.880
