1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Ryan Fitzpatrick and you are listening to 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: the e A Podcast with Eric Allen. Take it away, 3 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: all right? Chad Pennington joins me as always his weekly 4 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: appearance on the e A Podcast. Chad, First Things First, 5 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: news out of Flooring Park here on Wednesday, the Jets 6 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: place Eric Decker injured reserve. Your thoughts, well, I know 7 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: that there are different rules on injury reserve now than 8 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: there were when I was playing, But obviously it's a 9 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: slight blow to the armor of the Jets offensively. Um, 10 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. When you lose a high quality 11 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: player like Eric Decker, who means so much to your 12 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: offense and to all the players in the huddle, it's 13 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: a blow. But you know, as a team, you can 14 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: either look at it as a challenge or you can 15 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: look at it as an opportunity if if you're a 16 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: guy who hasn't had many opportunities to now show what 17 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: you can do and how you can contribute to help 18 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: the team win. So, um, it's one of those things 19 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: where it's it's certainly tough for Eric cut for the team, 20 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 1: but also it's time for someone else to step up 21 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: and help out. Why did Fitzpatrick have such good rhythm 22 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: with in chemistry with Ducker off the bat. Take us 23 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: back to last year and when Fits obviously had thirty 24 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: one touchdown passes, but both he was in sync with 25 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: Marshall and Ducker immediately, and that carried in to the 26 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: two thousand sixteen season as well. Well. I think both 27 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: receivers are very quarterback friendly. And when you say that, 28 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: what you mean by that is that, Um, they have 29 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: a mindset like a quarterback when they run routes, and 30 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: so when they run routes, they understand where the quarterbacks 31 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: are trying to put the ball, They understand positioning with 32 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: their body, and quarterbacks like Patrick they trust receivers like 33 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: that because they know that when they let go of 34 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: the ball and it's going to receiver like Becker or Marshall, 35 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: that normally good things are going to happen. Very rarely 36 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: the bad things happen. Only bad thing that can happen 37 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: with being incomplete, but very rarely doesn't interception happen or 38 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: anything like that. So it's a trust level. Sometimes you 39 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: can't explain that between quarterback and receiver. It just happened naturally. Um, 40 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: you just have a natural affinity for a guy, our 41 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: natural fields for a guy, and then other times it's 42 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: it's something that you've worked on, uh, through the years 43 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: and through practices and things like that. But with these 44 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: two guys, I think with fitz Patrick, it just happened naturally. 45 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: He just really had a great feel for those two receivers. 46 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: I think because of their body types number one, how 47 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: they run route and and and they're catching ability. To 48 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: think he developed a quick trust in those guys. All right, Chad. 49 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: The big word this week has been finishing for the 50 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: team as a whole. But when you think about the 51 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: offense inside the opponent's twenty last year number three in 52 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: the Nasty No Football League in terms of finishing with touchdowns. 53 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: This year, the Jets red zone offense, they're completing just 54 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: those drives inside the twenty with touchdowns, So that makes 55 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: them tied for this year. And now you take Decker 56 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: out of the equation. How big of a challenge is 57 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: this for Jan Galley and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Well, that certainly 58 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: hurts because Eric Decker's production in the red zone was 59 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: tremendous last year and uh, he was someone that Ryan 60 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: really trusted, and you have to have even a higher 61 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: trust level in the red zone because the space is 62 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: more confined. Um. You don't have a lot of room 63 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: to operate, and so your anticipation level has to be 64 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: even greater UM. And you've got to trust that if 65 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: if you're wrong, there's a quarterback that your receiver is 66 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: going to make you right and how he runs routes 67 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: and things like that, and so when you use a 68 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: receiver like Decker in that area, that really hurts. And 69 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: so now I think the running game has to come 70 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: to the forefront the running game. You've got to help 71 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: out in the red zone to create more goal line 72 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: situations inside the five. Get the running game to get 73 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: that ball inside the five score You can either pound 74 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: it in or you can use different personnel groups and 75 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: be creative that way. Uh. You also have to use 76 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: those running backs in the passing game and be able 77 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: to get them one on one with these linebackers, because 78 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: we know that Brandon Marshall is going to see more 79 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: and more double team coverage with Decker out, and then 80 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: the Noon law has now have to he has to 81 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: be able to step into that role of Eric Decker 82 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: and be able to make some plays down there as well. Yeah, Noon, 83 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: what right now? He is the jets number two receiver 84 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: going forward until Docker comes back, of course, and then 85 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: you can rank them any way you want. But as 86 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: far as the way opponent, the funds of coordinated is 87 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: gonna look at the Jets, like you mentioned, obviously they 88 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: go to fifteen first, but now it's Quincy and Nona 89 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: as that second target. He actually leads the Jets with 90 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: twenty seven receptions. And I said this on Inside the 91 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: Jets uh the other night, and I repeated on one 92 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: of our website website videos on New Ropes dot com 93 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: that he's by one of the bright spots here early 94 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: this season for a one in four club, leads a 95 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: team with twenty seven receptions, and he continues to flash, 96 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: I think each and every week. He certainly does. There 97 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: has been a little bit of inconsistency, but not as 98 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: much as last year. He's been able to become more 99 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: consistent make some plays, and so that's that's a very 100 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: positive scene for the future of the Jets when you're 101 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: looking at the receiving corps and your younger players starting 102 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: to produce, and so that's good. And and now that 103 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: production even has to increase even more. It's not necessarily 104 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: in volume of catches that has to increase. It's going 105 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: to have to increase UH in situational um away earness, 106 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: and and in critical situations where the third down, the 107 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: red zones, the plays that truly matter in a game 108 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: or affect the game where the focus will be on 109 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall. Now Noon Law really has to come to 110 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: forefront and make those big plays to keep drives alive 111 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: until points on the board. How do you establish more 112 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: chemistry if you're fits, because you're breaking in a lot 113 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: of new players right now, Austin Seferie and Jenkins. He 114 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: made a couple of catches against the Pittsburgh Steelers. I 115 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: like what I've seen of him. What I've seen of 116 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: him and limited time, big dude can run. Looks fluid 117 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: as far as a route runner is concerned. But then 118 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,239 Speaker 1: you have the rookie receivers again Robby Anderson, Geron Peak, 119 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: who are going to be dependent on as you move forward. 120 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: The Jetsice made a waiver claim this week, acquiring a 121 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: former Baltimore Raven, Jeremy Butler. We'll see how he factors 122 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: into the equation forte. While he's a Vet and obviously 123 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: he's made quite a smooth transition. He's new to the 124 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: offense as well, so there's a lot of new moving parts. 125 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: And what I think is overlooked in all this, too, 126 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: is the Jets have been shuffling up front all year, 127 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: but Eigilana is playing right tackle. Brno Jockomini started this 128 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: year on the pup list. Brant Quality was alternating series 129 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: with Igilana at right tackle, but with Winners out with 130 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: the concussion, he was at right guard. And then Nick 131 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: Mangold went out Sunday with the knee injury, so Wesley 132 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: Johnson had to come into the ball game. So there's 133 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts from Ryan Fitzpatrick right now, 134 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: no doubt about it, Eric, And that makes it extremely 135 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: tough for continuity within the offense. It makes it extremely 136 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: tough for quarterbacks to established rhythm. I think the biggest 137 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: challenge as a quarterback when you're dealing with a lot 138 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: of changes is to still remain in equal opportunity quarterback. 139 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes what you can do when you start to lose 140 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: some of your key guy is that you start to 141 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: just focus on the guy that you're very familiar with, 142 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: and then you start to force the ball in the 143 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: coverage and so The biggest challenge for a quarterback is 144 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: to yes, you know, most of our plays will be 145 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: designed to get it to our number one and number 146 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: two guys, but when they are covered, I have to 147 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: trust these third and fourth guys to be able to 148 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: at least make some simple plays for me, whether it 149 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: be in the checkdown game or the underneath game, whatever 150 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: it may be. Allowed him to make a few plays 151 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: a game for me to keep the defense a little 152 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: bit loose at least, and to keep me as a 153 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: quarterback from making bad decisions. That that's the biggest thing. 154 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: What do you make it fits his game? In Pittsburgh, 155 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: the Jets moved up and down the field in the 156 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: first half, four consecutive drives in plus a territory. We're 157 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: only able to come up with the thirteen points to 158 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: Nick Folk field goals, and Brandon Marshall makes the great 159 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: play off over the cornerback Ross Cockrowl there in the 160 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: corner of the enzone, plays a tip drill uh. Tremendous 161 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: reception on his part, but done in the second half. 162 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: And we've seen this lately from the Jets on both 163 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: sides of the ball, they kind of get stymied. So 164 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: what do you make of Fitzpatrick's game in Pittsburgh. Well, 165 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: I thought that his Saturday or Sunday performance against Pittsburgh 166 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: was a winning performance and um, other than the Buffalo game, 167 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: it was his second best performance of the season. And 168 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 1: if he would have had those type of performances throughout 169 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: the season every game, they would not be one and four, 170 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: they would be more like three and two. And so 171 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: that's the type of play that that Ryan has to 172 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: expect from himself weekend and week out. Doesn't have to 173 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: be gaudy numbers, but it can't be disastrous numbers either, 174 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: And so that was a consistent efficient performance. I think 175 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: where the Jets steming themselves that I don't think the 176 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: Steelers stimmy then the Jets at all. I think Jets 177 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: stimy themselves. Drop balls a misread here there. Um, you know, 178 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: really in crucial situations on third down where drives would 179 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 1: stay alive, keep the Steelers offense off the field. When 180 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: you've got an offense like Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers, 181 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: you have to keep them off the field. That's the 182 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: best defense against that. And those are some critical situations, 183 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: especially in the second half, where the Jets offense did 184 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: not do that. Even if you don't get points, you 185 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: you you keep the Steelers off the field, and they 186 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: did not do that, and so they snimming themselves. I 187 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: did not see a game where the Steelers just really 188 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: took it to the Jets. From a defensive standpoint, I 189 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: feel like the Jets had a good game plan. They 190 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: executed it for the most part in a B type 191 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: level where the couple of plays here and there could 192 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,719 Speaker 1: have put put them in the A minus uh category 193 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: to give themselves a better chance to win. All right, 194 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: let's go to Twitter rapid fire here with Jet Punnington 195 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: on the e A podcast. This comes from Sean. It 196 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: was a monster Jets fan down in Australia, down under 197 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: guys on both sides of the ball. What is the 198 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: most important thing that needs to be cleaned up going 199 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: forward in two thousand and sixteen. Great question. Defensively, it 200 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: is still the big play uh, eliminating the big play 201 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: that Steelers still had another big play on the Jets 202 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: um at the beginning of the game. And then offensively 203 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: it's actually creating a big play. We're not seeing any 204 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: chunk plays at all, whether it being the running game 205 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: or the passing game, and what that does for an 206 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: offense doesn't necessarily win you the game. It just gives 207 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: you some breathing room and changes field position, and it 208 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: keeps it from having to be such an uphill battle 209 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: with just four and five yard games all the time. 210 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: So that's that's very important. So the big play on 211 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,719 Speaker 1: both offense and defense, to me is something that's a 212 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 1: point of emphasis. Kevin writes in on Twitter, it appears 213 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: that many players have regressed from last year. Why do 214 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: you think that is? I don't know if I see 215 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: it as regression, is just more lack of execution and production. 216 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: Um and uh. Sometimes that happens with the team because 217 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: you have a successful team who kind of creaked up 218 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: on teams the previous year. This year, there is no 219 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: creeping up on anybody. They know who you are. They 220 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: have a full year of film on you to see 221 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: who you are as a team, what you're coaching staff 222 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: is about. And so now your level of production, execution, 223 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: concentration has to be stepped up, and you can't just 224 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: count on the same things that happened for you the 225 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: previous year aren't going to happen that same way. And 226 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: so there's no doubt in my mind that the jet 227 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: should be sitting here at three and two, not one 228 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: and four. If that's the case. And so I don't 229 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 1: see regression as much as I see just not executing 230 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: and doing what you're supposed to do, all right, so quickly. 231 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: When there was a lot of talk on about this 232 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 1: subject this week, and you know better than anybody, but 233 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: Asianist history, somebody asks on Twitter, what uh can you 234 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: review the four three and outs that gave Bulls confidence 235 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: to punt on fourth and two. A lot of people 236 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: talked about Coach's decision to punt there on fourth and two. 237 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: It's at that moment you're close to midfield. I'm sitting 238 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: there in the press box chat and you can call 239 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: me a homer if you want. I know who I'm 240 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: employed by. But I didn't have a problem with the 241 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: decision because I'm thinking, you don't get it. It's fourth 242 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: and along to the Steelers have been moving the ball 243 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: and you're at least giving up three You might give 244 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: up a touchdown down there. I don't I don't know. 245 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: I thought, you know, you pin them back deep, maybe 246 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: you get a good punt, great coverage. There was a 247 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: couple of times the Jets failed to actually pin the 248 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: Steelers back, and when they had some players down there 249 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: on Lockland outwards a couple of his booming kicks. So 250 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: you play field position there, maybe you get the wall 251 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: back at the fifty relatively quickly. I know a lot 252 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: of people revisionist history, they're talking about the fourth and 253 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: two a lot this week. Yeah, and I think it 254 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: was that the fourth and two with the at the 255 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: eleven minute mark or at the seven minute mark. It 256 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: was at about the seven minute I believe you have 257 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: the seven minute mark. Uh, and that's and I don't know, 258 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: I don't even know if that was more like the 259 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: thirty five is was it not? So that was a 260 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: tough situation where you know, if it's more on the 261 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: fifty or the forty five going in, I could certainly 262 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: see that, But on the thirty five is forty is 263 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: a couple of yards and that they've got three more 264 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: points on you without having to do anything offensively, much 265 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: less with the big, big play capability that they already have. 266 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: Um So that what I certainly thought about that as 267 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: I was watching the game, would this be a situation 268 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: where you could go for it there? Uh? If it 269 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: was a little bit closer. I think they certainly would 270 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: have two is much different than inside of yards. There's 271 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: no question about that, um. But but I agree with 272 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: it being a thirteen game, two scores and you win, 273 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: and so uh within seven minutes, you should get the 274 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: ball back by five. You can go down and kick 275 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: field goal stuffing and then either have a touchdown drive 276 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: or vice versa on that with a field goal drop. 277 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: So I did not completely disagree with that call at all, 278 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: but I could certainly see where the thought could cross 279 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: your mind about going for it on fourth. I think 280 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: it's one of those one tough spots. I think if 281 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: it's fourth and one, there's no doubt he sends his 282 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: jumbo package on the field. You try to get the 283 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: one yard and you keep that driving uh moving. But 284 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: at fourth and two, and that's up to the coach, 285 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: and he noticed his ball club. You know, you know 286 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: the way it is when you're one of four, So 287 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: everybody's gonna come at you. I'm telling you, I'm sitting 288 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: there at the price box during the game, and I 289 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: thought out, okay, you point away, you get a three 290 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: and out, you get good field positioned and go from there. 291 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: But you know it didn't work out. Didn't work out 292 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: for the Jets. Bottom line, they didn't make enough plays. 293 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: And as you mentioned, this team doesn't think they're that 294 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: far away. Uh, that's a fourteen thirteen game and the 295 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: third quarter it's a seventeen thirteen game. At the beginning 296 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: of the fourth quarter. They just have to find a 297 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: way to make a couple of key plays and that 298 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: will get them over the hump. So, Jets are one 299 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: and four. You've started a couple of times one and 300 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: four and actually made the postseason, uh, with two different teams, 301 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: actually with the Jets in two thousand two, and I 302 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: believe with the Miami Dolphins as well. Here's some similarities 303 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: for you. The Jets actually started the two thousand two 304 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: seasons in Buffalo, beating the Bills in Week one by 305 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: a thirty seven thirty one score. The Jets only win 306 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: so far this season is in Week two back and 307 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 1: Week two at Buffalo by a thirty seven score. Uh. 308 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: Your memories a two thousand and two and what goes 309 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: on inside a locker room when you're frustrated, you're losing 310 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: and it's early in the season. Well, here, here's exactly 311 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: what went on in our locker room. At the time 312 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: we were one and four. People were complaining about play calling, 313 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: whether it be inside the building or on the team, 314 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: or outside the building, pointing fingers, disgruntled, frustrated, disappointed, which 315 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: is all understandable. But what changed our team was we 316 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: changed our belief system and we made a decision to say, look, 317 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: coaches aren't trying to lose if their livelihood. They're trying 318 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: to put us in the best positions to be successful. 319 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 1: And if we don't believe in what we're doing, it 320 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: does not matter who we're playing. We could have, they 321 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: could have eight guys out there on the field, and 322 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: if we're not believing in what we're only, we're not 323 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: going to execute. And so we changed our belief system. Uh, 324 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: we caught a little momentum by going to San Diego 325 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: and beating them, and there was a six and one 326 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: team coming off of the bye and we throttled them, 327 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 1: and from then on our belief system because it had changed, 328 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: Then our mindset changed, and then the result changed, and 329 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, the play calling got more conservative. Basically, 330 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: all we did was handed to Curtis Martin or we 331 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: threw it to Lavernest coals for the most part. Um 332 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: it was more conservative than it was when we were 333 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: one and four and two and five. So it's about 334 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: belief system. It's about um that synergy that you need 335 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: to have as as human beings for getting the football 336 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: players just as human beings and working together and not 337 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: the pointing fingers are saying, well, the defense didn't their 338 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,239 Speaker 1: job in the offense didn't. It has nothing to do 339 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: with that. It has to do with playing complimentary football. 340 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: The offense needs to break and needs the ball back. 341 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: The defense has to get the ball back. If the 342 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: offense needs to stay on the field and get the 343 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 1: defense brain defense, the offense needs to do that. The 344 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: kicking game needs to step up and make a cup 345 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: of plays. That's what needs to happen. That's that's why 346 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: it's a team game, and that's that's the biggest challenge 347 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: for a team that's wonderful is whether or not you're 348 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: gonna change your belief system and and pull together and 349 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 1: do everything you can uh to be successful. And that 350 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: may require some sacrifices that may require certain players not 351 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: playing as much or being asked to perform a different 352 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: role that they're not used to. If you're willing to 353 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: do that, then you can pull yourself out of the situation. 354 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: The Jets fans who are of our age, Chad what 355 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 1: have a retort then say, yeah, but you had boy Wonder, 356 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: you had Punnington and reserved there. He came in against 357 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: Jacksonville and then makes the start the following week against 358 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: Kansas City. And even though you lost that ball game 359 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: against Kansas City, Uh, against Kansas City, you showed something 360 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: there and the offenses started moving. Where is the Jets 361 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: The current team has their current pieces. Where Todd Bowls 362 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: is said, Ryan Fitzpatrick gives us the best chance to 363 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: win right now? Well, and I agree with Coach Bowls. 364 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: I think that he does. And I think that we 365 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: did see some improvement. We saw a more efficient, consistent 366 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 1: quarterback Sunday against the Steelers. Didn't get the result that's 367 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: the Jets wanted from a wind standpoint, but you saw 368 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: more consistent play. And I think I think if that 369 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 1: play continues from the quarterback position, and then all the 370 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: other offensive parts chip in and do their part, then 371 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: they can win games. You've got an Arizona team that's 372 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: this types of plan. Arizona go off the West Coast. 373 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: But the Jets can beat Arizona. You have a Baltimore 374 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 1: Ravens team Esster doing well, that's a home they can 375 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: beat the Baltimore Ravens. There haven't changed themselves in offensive coordinators, 376 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: so uh, there's some change going on there. So um, 377 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: there's no doubt that this team is capable of getting 378 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,719 Speaker 1: back to the foreum foremark by the midpoint of the season. 379 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: And guess where they were last year at the midpoint 380 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: of the season. They were four and four even when 381 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 1: they started three and one. So they can reverse their 382 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: fortune here and uh and and really get back into 383 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: the hunt. But it certainly starts with their mindset and 384 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: the and their belief system. What are your memories of 385 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: herm back at Hofstruff at all? We you beg call 386 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: saying we play to win the game when he was 387 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: asked multiple times in his press conference basically, Hey, what 388 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: do you guys have to play for? When they wrote 389 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: you all off in two thousand two? Did you pay 390 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 1: too much attention to that as a player? Did go 391 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: home and see the clip on Sports Center? Because in 392 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: today's today's day and age, we'd see that on Twitter immediately, 393 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: we'd see it on Instagram, it would it would be 394 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: out there within five seconds. But that was a different 395 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: world back then in two thousand two. Well, at first, 396 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: at first I think we all cuckled um coach Edwards 397 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 1: and his demeanor and and just you know, his response. 398 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: But then I think it also sent a message to 399 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: us that hey, it's not about just evaluating players, it's 400 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: not about just giving up on the season, because the 401 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: young guys in we're playing to win. That's what we're doing, 402 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: that's what we get paid to do. And so I 403 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: think that was a little bit of reinforcement for us 404 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: to say, you know what, that's just nonsense to even 405 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: have that mindset. Let's have a mindset and going out 406 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: here and attacking and and and being better at what 407 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: we're doing, and let's see what happens. So that's what 408 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: we did. And then once we go fire with that momentum, 409 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 1: we win seven out of nine and win them sees. Yeah, 410 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: one of the greatest passing seasons the history of this franchise. 411 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: You were on fire throughout the whole two thousand two campaigns. 412 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 1: Great memories of that one who has the upper edge 413 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: when you're talking about Bruce arians who is the teacher 414 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 1: and Tide Balls, who is a teacher now, but he 415 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: was a student of Bruce Arians for so many times 416 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,479 Speaker 1: throughout their careers. Go back to Temple, Bruce Arians coached 417 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: Todd Young Todd Bowls from Elizabeth, New Jersey when he 418 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: was in defensive backfield. They're playing for the Temple Alls, 419 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: and then they obviously connected in the National Football League 420 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: and Todd was tremendous under Bruce Arians in his short 421 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 1: time with the Cardinals to two years as defensive coordinator. 422 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: He was the a p h NFL Assistant Coach of 423 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: the Year found the two thousand and fourteen season. Obviously 424 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: came here in two thousand fifteen. What do you think 425 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: goes into that chess match between between Bruce Arians and 426 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: his offensive mine and Todd Bowles and his defensive mind. Well, 427 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: I think it would be different if coach Bowles was 428 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: with Coach Areens for ten years or you know, that's 429 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: all he knew was what Coach Areons has done. But 430 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: he did play in their Coach Areons and he coach 431 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: with Coach Areons a little bit, so there's there's similarities there. 432 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: They know each other, but it's not like that's all 433 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: that coach Bowles knows he's been under U, multiple schemes, 434 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: multiple systems. His football knowledge is so wide and he's 435 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: been able to gather from so many men in this 436 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: game that he's built himself U as his own coach. 437 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: And so I'm sure there are things that Bruce Aarons 438 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: will remember that Coach Bowles did while he was there 439 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: as a defensive coordinator and vice versa. Uh, coach Bowls 440 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: remember things offensively as well. So I need to say 441 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 1: I think both teams will be prepared for each other. Um, defensively, 442 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: I think the Jets have to make sure. Um, there's 443 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 1: two things here. The running game. I have an outstanding 444 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: runner in Johnson. Uh, He's he's impressive of Watchington play. 445 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: I mean he really can get downhill and get north 446 00:24:53,800 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 1: and south martial martial guy, well northern no Ohoway, That's right. 447 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: You know what I was thinking about, Marshall, You know 448 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: what just brought because I was gonna transition a little 449 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: bit too. You guys getting contributions from guys under the radar. 450 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: Daryl Roberts showed up on the radar. He played a 451 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 1: great game. It's a really good thing. Yeah, he really did, 452 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: really did but you're you're right about the Northern I'm 453 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 1: sorry for interrupting you there because I was already looking ahead. 454 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: But the Northern Iowa products. Yeah, he's becoming a star 455 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 1: in this National Football League. He really has. And so uh, 456 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: you know, uh, Arizona likes to match their running game 457 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: with their down the field passing game. So that's gonna 458 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: be really important for those linebackers and and secondary defenders 459 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: to to be keen on that run but not get 460 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: beat with that down the field passing game that matches 461 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: that running game. I think that's a huge match up there. Um. 462 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: And then you know, offensively, uh, you know, being able 463 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: to take advantage of of their skill guys that Jeff 464 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: being able to use Marshall using Noon while use the 465 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 1: two backs, and then sprinkle in and the other players 466 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: Anderson the tighty ends. You have sprinkle those guys in 467 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: where they can make a few plays just to relieve 468 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: a little bit of pressure. And Arizona does a great 469 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: job of pushing the ball down the field and getting 470 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 1: those chunk plays, So the Jets have to be able 471 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: to find a way offensively to find a few chunk 472 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: plays too. Here's interesting stat the Cardinals have not scored 473 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: a point in the first quarter all seasons, and the 474 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: Jets has scored. Conversely, you look on the other side, 475 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: Jets have really moved the ball. Well, reminds me of 476 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: your days with Paul Hackett early on in those games 477 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,400 Speaker 1: when Paul used to script those plays. I remember every 478 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: time you guys came out of the tunnel, you go 479 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: up and down the field. Now, I know the Jets 480 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: want to finish with touchdowns, no doubt about that. But 481 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: they have scored on four of their opening five possessions. 482 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 1: They do that again and they hold Arizona down. You 483 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: figure it they'd be able to settle into this game. 484 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: It's just finishing in the second half now for this club. Well, 485 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: and that's that's the thing, is making sure you know, 486 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 1: when you play in Arizona. Uh, it's one of those 487 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: things where you've got to make sure that you weathered 488 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: the storm in the first half and uh, you know, 489 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: get points on the board, but make sure nothing disastrous happen. 490 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: And then as you move into the second half, now 491 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: you get into the grind of the game, and now 492 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: you can't be stomming like they were against Pittsburgh and 493 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: really capitalize on some opportunities, and that's just gonna come 494 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: down to two players making plays. When you look at 495 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh game, Uh, there were plays to be made 496 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: out there and they just weren't made to keep drives alive. 497 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: And that's that's gonna be a key going in the 498 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: second half against Arizona. Yeah. Well, uh, my last thing 499 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: for you here on the featured chat Puttington any effect 500 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: at all for a player? You guys are professionals, and 501 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: most of these guys have been in planes throughout their 502 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: entire careers, collegiate careers. Is there any impact going from 503 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: the East coast to the West coast as a player, 504 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: I actually enjoyed going from east to west. I couldn't 505 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: imagine going from west to east and losing three hours, 506 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: But I enjoyed going from east to west because I 507 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: got an extra three hours of rest, recuperate a little 508 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 1: bit um, and get ready to play. I did not 509 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: mind that at all, especially when we went out on 510 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: Friday so um. But you know, some people do think 511 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: it's a little bit different, But I didn't mind going 512 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: from east to west at all. There you go. That's 513 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: Jeff Pennyton, Jets, Cardinals, Monday Night the Jets defense. As 514 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: Jet said, we'll have to contend with an emerging young 515 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: player in David Johnson, and we know Bruce arians likes 516 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: to get that vertical passing game going. With the Cardinals, 517 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,719 Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald still there, Carson Palmer expected back from a concussion. 518 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: They do have some line issues. They're shuffling some things 519 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: up front as well. Conversely, uh, you look at the 520 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: other side of the ball. The Jets have not played 521 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: with Eric Decker for the past two games. They won't 522 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,959 Speaker 1: be playing with him, uh for the next bunch of games, 523 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: and it could be the entire season. Here, Chad is 524 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: always great analysis. We look forward to catching up with 525 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: you next week after we get back. Oh in the 526 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: early hours of Tuesday morning, exactly. Take travel
