Ethan Greenberg, Eric Allen here 3 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: in the bed MGM studio, Bart Scott joining us later 4 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: in the show for our Victor Knox Swiss Army Player 5 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: of the Game segment e A Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving 6 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: to you and yours. I can't believe it's Thanksgiving already 7 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: as we sit here in the bet MGM studio. It 8 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: feels like yesterday we kicked this thing off. But the 9 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: Jets are already ten games into their season. Before you know, 10 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna look up and it's gonna be Christmas. Oh, 11 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: that's it's We're in like that Milky Way stretch. I 12 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: call it the Milky Way stretch. I don't know why. 13 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: I just kind of came up with that, But before 14 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: you know it, like you said, it's Thanksgiving, then it's Christmas. 15 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: It's really a month, but it feels like a week 16 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: and a half. And a couple of things about Thanksgiving. 17 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: E A and I both agree that turkey is an 18 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: overrated bird, stock great and thanks you Giving. It's gonna 19 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: look very different for I would say everybody in two 20 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: thousand twenty, and you know, I'm curious as a Jets employee, 21 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: of course, e A. You've obviously worked on Thanksgiving before, 22 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: So like, what's that like? It's good if you win. 23 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: I mean, we were just talking about this before we 24 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: uh started the podcast. Is that I guess I've worked 25 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: three times on Thanksgiving. As far as games are concerned, 26 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: the Jets one in two in those games, they did 27 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: beat the Cincinnati Bengals back in two thousand ten ten. 28 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: That's the game you called the brand Smith Smith Game. 29 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: It's the last time that just made the playoffs two 30 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: thousand times. So a lot of Jets fans right now 31 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: aren't feeling really thankful about their football team, as the 32 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: Green and White own time for the only time enfranchise 33 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: history is still searching for that elusive first victory. But 34 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: as far as the week is concerned, from an employee perspective, 35 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: it's awesome because you get that extended weekend. A do 36 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: you finish your game day duties, you do a pregame show, 37 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: postgame show, you take care of what's remaining on Friday, 38 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: and then you're able to relax the weekend. I've always 39 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: argued that the Cowboys and the Alliance, who traditionally play 40 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: at home on Thanksgiving have a huge advantage because they 41 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: get that mini buying, then they have a home game 42 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: and that opposing team is always coming to their place. 43 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: The Jets did play the Cowboys in OH seven. That 44 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: game was not close. Okay, you know, I feel like 45 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: the Lions are at least in my lifetime, I've always 46 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: been the one o'clock game, and I feel like that 47 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: is the sweet spot because you get you get to work, 48 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: you get over with and then you can still have 49 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: a Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving if you so choose, whereas 50 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: if you're the four game, you're probably having a light 51 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving the following day. I never could get 52 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: into the early game. You know where people will sit 53 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 1: in front of the the TV. I'm not a great sitter. 54 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: I love watching football, but I gotta take care of business, 55 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: meaning maybe work out, uh, go out with the dogs 56 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: or something like that, because I can't just sit seven, eight, ten, 57 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: twelve hours in front of the TV. And starting off 58 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: with the Lions. The Cowboys over the years, the last 59 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: twenty years or so, they've been the team that's been 60 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: in it. In contention, they're not in the playoffs every year, 61 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: but uh, it seemed like that was a marquee matchup 62 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: for a while, but the NFL went to the expansion 63 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving, where now they have three games. So they're 64 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: hoping this week that the Pittsburgh Steelers are undefeated, we'll 65 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: get that game off against the Baltimore Ravens. The team 66 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: was gonna be desperate right now it's six and four. 67 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: But I always that was big when they added that 68 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: third game. But I do think, uh, it's cool to 69 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: be part of that. From a National Football League perspective, 70 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: is that, hey, you are you know that everybody in 71 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: the nation is huddling around the Davy. Everybody's together and 72 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: participating in the holiday by not only eating but also 73 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: watching some ball. Do you like the last question we'll 74 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: do on this Thanksgiving bit? Do you like the Cowboys 75 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: old helmets that they wear, the old uniforms that they 76 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: were on Thanksgiving. I I do like the Cowboys uniforms overall, 77 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: so when they bring those out, I'm okay with them. 78 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys just have a traditional, classic look 79 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: and it's one of the better uniforms in the league. Yeah, 80 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: I agree with what you said. So now let's talk 81 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: about Jets football. The Jets do not play on Thanksgiving. 82 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: Of course, they host the Miami Dolphins Sunday, Week twelve. 83 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: Coming off of for the Dolphins, they're first lost in 84 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: a lot of games, like five games in a row. 85 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: They fell to the Denver Broncos in Denver, and the 86 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: Jets played on the West Coast for the first of 87 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: three cross country games. Now they're back at MetLife Stadium 88 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: on Sunday, and I think that Jets fans are getting 89 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: excited because you start to see what this offense could 90 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: have looked like. I know that's probably the wrong way 91 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: to think about it, but when you think of the 92 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: production of Rashad Perriman and Denzel Mims in particular, and 93 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: of course is having a healthy receiving corps, I mean, 94 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: you start to see this offense turn a page. The 95 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: past two games they've been on the field, well, they're 96 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: scoring points. They've been in ball games the last two outings. 97 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: You know, the Patriots, they're not the Patriots team that 98 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: we've come to expect over the last two decades. There's 99 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: four and six at this point, and you'd have to 100 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: say it would really take something that somewhat improbable for 101 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,679 Speaker 1: them to make the playoffs like some kind of crazy 102 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: run because you're looking at the a f C. There 103 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: might be a team out there wins ten games this 104 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: year does not get into the playoffs. That's how deep 105 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: it looks. And then the Chargers, while they do have 106 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: a very talented young quarterback in Justin Herbert who had 107 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: his way with the Jets secondary in that first half, 108 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: that is a team that is struggle throughout the season. 109 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: So one possession losses to both of those squads, you're 110 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: stepping up in caliber this week against the Dolphins. I 111 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: don't know if a lot of people consider Miami head 112 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: of schedule, but you have to give Brian Floors a 113 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: lot of credit for what they've done there. Remember last 114 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: was it October? The Jets went down to South Florida 115 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: and both of those teams were zero Well, the Jets 116 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: had one win, the Dolphins were zero seven. The Dolphins 117 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: won that game, and ever since then, I think they've 118 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: turned the corner and made a lot offseason of dishes additions. Um, 119 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,679 Speaker 1: you're seeing a defense that gets after people very deep 120 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: at cornerback position of working in a rookie quarterback right 121 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: now experiencing those ups and downs. But um, yeah, You're 122 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: right about the Jets playing a better brand of football. 123 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. Defensively, they're stopping the run. 124 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: We just gotta get better against the past. And then offensively, 125 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: you're seeing signs of life in the passing game and 126 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: had just definitely been encouraging Denzel Mimm's career high seventy 127 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: one yards receiving Perriman now three touchdowns over the course 128 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: of the last two games. I like what I saw 129 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: to Chris Herndon. I know he just made two catches, 130 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: but both of those catches were very impressive. Yeah, I 131 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: think Chris Hernon's I tried to Honestly, I tried to 132 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: bate him into and more of my postgame interviews with him, 133 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: or the only one should I say what I said. 134 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: You know, it's just kind of like a weight off 135 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: your shoulder now that you've gotten your first touchdown of 136 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: the season. After training camp, everyone was expecting Chris Hernon 137 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: to be like the two thousand and eighteen form of 138 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: Chris Hernon, where he showed a lot of promise as 139 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: a fourth round rookie out of Miami, and he hasn't 140 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: been targeted a lot in the passing game and Dwal Loggins, 141 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: the team's offensive coordinator, last week, said that Chris Hernon 142 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: has been primarily past protecting because he's really good at it. 143 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: Not a lot of tight ends can do what Chris 144 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: Hernon can do in that aspect of the game, and 145 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: so so to see him finally take a couple steps 146 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: forward in the passing game, I think Jets fans got excited. 147 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: I know certainly for me, I felt happy for Chris 148 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: Herndon and using these two games as a launching pad 149 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: for the rest of the season, I think really the 150 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: first thought that comes to fans minds is, well, what's 151 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: Sam Donald's gonna look like fully healthy with powerman crowder 152 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: Man's Hernon all in the lineup? Because Donald has yet 153 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: to play with those three starting receivers all on the 154 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: field together. Well, that's that's the critical question, that's the 155 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 1: sixty four million dollar questions for the New York Jets, 156 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: is that when Well Donald get back on the field. 157 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: I know he wants to return, The Jets want to 158 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: back under center. You want to evaluate this young player 159 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: with a full complement of skill position players around him, 160 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: but you can't force him back in the lineup and 161 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: the Jets are taking the prudent approach here with Donald. 162 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: It's early this week, we're taping on Monday. We'll have 163 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: to see what transpires throughout the course of this week. 164 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco started against the Dolphins earlier this season at Miami. 165 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: Won that game twenty four to nothing. It was a shutout. 166 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: But we're talking about a different looking offense. No matter 167 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: who plays quarterback, they're just gonna have opportunities to make 168 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: plays because much like the Patriots, even though the Dolphins 169 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,479 Speaker 1: definitely have more talent at the cornerback position, especially considering 170 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: what Stuffan Gilmore's out no no shade towards New England. 171 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: I'm saying when he got Byron Jones exaving Howard, going 172 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: Howard now six interceptions, those guys are gonna play man 173 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: coverage and they're gonna they're gonna blitz the quarterback. So 174 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: the Jets have to make plays down the field, and 175 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: you would anticipate they do have the ability to do that. 176 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: They will be better equipped to do that than they 177 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: were in the team's first meeting. It's gonna be a 178 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 1: great challenge. So I definitely agree, and I think that 179 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: maybe to your point, if Byron Jones exaving Howard on 180 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: the outside. Maybe this is a Jamison crowd or Chris 181 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: Hernon game in terms of at least opportunities, because if 182 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: they can work the middle of the field, maybe that 183 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: will open up things more so for Perman and Men's 184 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: Byron Jones and Xaviing Howard are two great players. And 185 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: this I kind of wanted to go a little more 186 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: broad here in terms of the way the NFL is 187 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: shaping up right now. First of all, very weird Sunday, 188 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: very weird Sunday in terms of who won, who lost. 189 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: And now when you look at the standings in both divisions, 190 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: you look at who's in and who's out. If the 191 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,719 Speaker 1: playoffs were today or tomorrow, the Baltimore Ravens would not 192 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: be in the playoffs at six and four. Miami Dolphins 193 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: would not be in the playoffs at six and four. 194 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: Then you head to the NFC. Chicago's the first team 195 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: out at five and five. But both divisions are gonna 196 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: come down to the wire. A lot of parody in 197 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: the National Football League. You know, we were watching the 198 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: early games yesterday and it seems like every week we're 199 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: we're looking at more and more games than saying their 200 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: toss ups. But you mentioned Miami. They just had a 201 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: five game win streak. They lose a game, and now 202 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: all of a sudden are out of playoff positioning through 203 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: ten games. Uh, you got the Cleveland Browns right now 204 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: quietly are seven and three. It feels like half the 205 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: teams in the a f C are seven and three 206 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: right now. Um. You know, I think the Bills took 207 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: a step forward in the FC East by not playing 208 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: because everybody else lost, right you know, the Patriots lost, 209 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: the Dolphins had their windstreak halted, and the Bills have 210 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: already beaten the Miami Dolphins and they host them, I 211 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: think in the the last game of the season. So 212 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 1: you would have to say Buffalo definitely has the advantage 213 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 1: moving forward inside the division. Pittsburgh still undefeated, which is crazy, 214 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: the very good team. Um, I didn't anticipate they're gonna 215 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,719 Speaker 1: be sitting here after ten games being undefeated. You mentioned Baltimore. 216 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson was the m v P in the National 217 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: Football League last year and now they're six and four. 218 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 1: Kind of see in Indianapolis, that's an interesting race. In 219 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: the FC South, Bolt teams are seven and three. They're 220 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: facing each other this weekend. I'm excited for that game. 221 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 1: A f C West loaded because Kansas City, Yes, just 222 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: one win, Patrick Mahomes is magic against the Raiders. You 223 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: mean one loss, Yeah, one win, one glorious winn and 224 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: go over the Raiders. I guess said Patrick Mahomes was 225 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: his magic. So they just had the one loss. The 226 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: Raiders look good and there's six and four and they 227 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: want to get in a playoff. Pitcher that's the team 228 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: was one toe to toe with the Chiefs here a 229 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 1: couple of times this season. I say loaded the FC 230 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: West because Herbert and the Chargers had the explosive offense. 231 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: And I know there are not in a playoff position positioning, 232 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: but that's a team you gotta watch for in future years. 233 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: And Denver's tough. They just beat Miami, So a lot 234 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,719 Speaker 1: of perry in the league. But in the FC I 235 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: think you gotta look at Kansas City and then go 236 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,719 Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh and then everyone else is kind of in 237 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: a group after that. Okay, so before we hear from 238 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: Bart Scott as we I don't want to eject what's 239 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: gonna happen here over the course of the next seven 240 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: weeks in terms of the NFL. I mean, you laid 241 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: out all the different divisions and the tight races there, 242 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: but is there a race in particular that intrigues you? 243 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say excluding the NFC West, which has 244 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: the Seahawks the Rands. Yeah, I did, because I feel 245 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: like I feel like a lot of people have given 246 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: proper credit to that division because that's such a tight race. 247 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: And we saw that great game between the Seahawks and 248 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: the Cardinals, not once but twice. Who's gonna win the 249 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: NFC East, I'll ask you that. Well, I did say 250 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: I didn't want to project anything. I mean right now 251 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,599 Speaker 1: as it stands, Okay, I'm not gonna what do you 252 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: make of the NFC East right now? I think it's 253 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: very interesting. I mean, I think I think the division 254 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: is there's there's meaning all four of them, really three 255 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: of them. I really think it's gonna be the Dallas Cowboys, 256 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles, and the New York Giants. I feel 257 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: like it's gonna come down of those three teams, not 258 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: the Washington football team. No, no disrespect to them, but 259 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: I feel like if Andy Dalton can turn things around 260 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 1: for that offense, which you kind of saw against the Vikings. 261 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: If they can sustain that, I figured that they'll squeak 262 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 1: out enough wins, especially in their own division, to clinch 263 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: a playoffs. That's a great question. I'm going no more 264 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: than six. I'm going, so somebody's gonna host a playoff 265 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: game and the NFC that finishes with six wins this year? 266 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: Do you think that's crazy? No, I don't think it's. Well, 267 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: were the weren't the Seahawks seven and nine when they 268 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: hosted the Saints the Marshawn Lynch the Beast Mode Game. 269 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: I mean, that wouldn't surprise me if it was, if 270 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: if the Cowboys hosted a team. I think the a 271 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: f C seems a little bit more. I don't want 272 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: to say easy to predict, but it seems like, like 273 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: I said, I think the Bills are gonna win the FCS. 274 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: I think Pittsburgh's gonna take care of the North. I 275 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: think that Indianapolis and Tennessee is something that's called caught 276 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: my high Kansas City is gonna win the West, you know. 277 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: And then it's like, how is the wild cards shake out? 278 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: But as far as divisional races, as you could say 279 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: wild card race, you can instead of saying division you 280 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: could just you could just pick a couple of teams 281 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: that you're looking at in terms of the wild cards. Well, 282 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: I look at Indianapolis and Tennessee. In Indianapolis want to 283 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: Nashville a couple of weeks ago, home one, an oppressive 284 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: game on Thursday Night Football. What's gonna happen? And the 285 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: return matchup? But who's gonna make the playoffs from this bunch? Miami, 286 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: the Raiders, Baltimore, the Browns, and the Browns. Yeah, who 287 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: you got in the playoffs? I don't, I don't know. 288 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's very I don't know the 289 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: team's schedules, which I think has a big part to 290 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: do with this, But I'm very interested. I think I 291 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: think the one thing that Tennessee has over a lot 292 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: of these teams is just their brand of football travels well, 293 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: first of all, and second of all, that they made 294 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: to the championship game last year, so they know what 295 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: it takes to get there. And I thought that was 296 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: very convincing win, a very important win over the Baltimore 297 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: Ravens in Baltimore. And side note, I love A J. Brown. 298 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: I love I love the physicality he plays with speaking 299 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: of physicality about Derrick Henry. I mean, you can't say 300 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: enough about about Derrick Henry. He's an animal. That whole 301 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: team is just physical. Their d n A is that 302 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: of their head coach, Mike Rabel. So you know they 303 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: play a brand of football. They're gonna be it at 304 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: in a phone booth for sixty minutes and they bring it. 305 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: You know, you gotta respect that. With that being said, 306 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: we think about the Colts all the time. This is 307 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: like the soft team that's gonna spread you out, They're 308 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: gonna play fast and all this others. No, this is 309 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: a team and gets after you who plays a physical 310 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: brand of football. And that was an impressive comeback win 311 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: over the Packers, and that came on the heels of 312 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: beating Tennessee a couple of weeks ago. So now what 313 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: is going to happen? Because Indianapolis can really take that 314 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: division and put a stranglehold around it if they win 315 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: this return matchup very much though, And I think if 316 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor starts to use his performance against the Packers 317 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: in terms of the way he ran the football and 318 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: can kind of turn that rookie wall and kind of 319 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: like barrel through it and he's you know, he's a 320 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: big dude with four or three speed, four four speed. 321 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: That's gonna be an interesting team down the road. So 322 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 1: what I'll tell you right now, though, Patrick Mahomes League MVP. 323 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 1: I would have said a few weeks ago, Russell Wilson. 324 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: But I think it would be hard to choose anybody 325 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: other than the Homes. He's been just outstanding that team 326 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,959 Speaker 1: as a defending champions. Uh, Pittsburgh gonna be right there 327 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: in the mix. But if you're gonna ask me Super 328 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: Bowl pick right now, you'd have to go. I go 329 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: Kansas City and a slight lean to New Orleans. But 330 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: Seattle's gaining. Oh so you think that it's between those 331 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 1: two teams in the end. Oh No, I just think 332 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: those would be my two favorites. Now, I like that. 333 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: I like that. Are you looking at me like I 334 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: have to pick mine? I definitely think Kansas City. I 335 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,479 Speaker 1: think that. I think for me, they're they're gonna represent 336 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: the a f C in terms of the NFC. I 337 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,360 Speaker 1: tend to I tend to agree with you. I think 338 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: because here's the thing about the Saints. They're playing is 339 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: well defensively, is probably anybody in the league right now 340 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: over the last few weeks for sure. And they did 341 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: the same thing last season when Teddy Bridgewater came in 342 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: for Drew Brees. But it just feels like in the 343 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: past couple of years something just doesn't click in the 344 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: playoffs for the Saints. And if they can clear that hurdle, 345 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, maybe Michael Thomas starts burning up like he 346 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: did last year, then I think that's gonna be a 347 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: legitimate case. But so there's only remember first round the playoffs, 348 00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: only one team gets a by this year, that's the 349 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: number one seed, so that you gotta put more emphasis 350 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: on being that one seed. And Pittsburgh keeps on winning 351 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: no matter how good Kansas City is or Mahomes, They're 352 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: not gonna be then one sleep. You know what I wonder, 353 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: I don't I think if if the playoffs were tomorrow, 354 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: would this be the first time that Tom Brady entered 355 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: the playoffs as a wild card team? It has to be, right, 356 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: because they missed the playoffs and he was out, and 357 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: then before that it was he just wasn't the quarterback 358 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: of the team, right, Yeah, But they won the division 359 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: seventeen no less, nineteen years no two thousand two Jets, 360 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: but the Patriots did. The Patriots make the playoffs that year, 361 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: didn't make the playoffs, so then this would be That's 362 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: won the division in two thousand two. But and then 363 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: the Patriots didn't make it as a wild car team, 364 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: they did not make it as well. This would in 365 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 1: turn the first time that Tom Brady would enter the 366 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: playoffs as a wild car team and it would have 367 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: to go through not his home stadium. That's right. I 368 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: was just getting caught up with my memories Hermo, which 369 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: you played to win the game that Jets started to 370 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: buy that year and they went out to San Diego 371 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: and the Superchargers quarterback by Drew Brees. Wow, look that's 372 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: where the start, That's where the turnaround started. Oh but 373 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: that's how we come full circle here on the Official 374 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: Jets Podcast powered by AWS. Now that it's here from 375 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: Bart Scott outside for another edition of our Vic Tornock 376 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: Swiss Army Player of the Game segment with Bart Scott. Bart. 377 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: Jets host the Dolphins in Week twelve, the first time 378 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: they'll see to a tongue of baloa as a starting quarterback. 379 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: What's your matchup to watch um to a tongue of 380 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: balo I'll tell you what I'm most excited to see it. Like, 381 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: it's a lot of matchups that you can go with, 382 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: but I'm really intrigued and interesting to see how Bryce 383 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: Hall continues to develop. Listen, I love the way that 384 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: he competes. I love that he said the edge forcefully 385 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: in the run game. I like that he's, you know, 386 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,479 Speaker 1: willing to go out there and not just bell out 387 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: of there. A couple of times he bailed too early 388 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: on some blitzes, but for the most part he was 389 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: right there. And you know, he went against a tough 390 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: ride receivering corps. I want to see if he can 391 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: maybe trying to slow down DeVante Parker and see what 392 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: that's like. Now he you know, they have a different receiver. 393 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: You think about Keenan Allen and think about Williams and 394 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: what they bring. Now he's gonna go with a taller 395 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: six fire receiver that has a huge catch radius and 396 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: that can play the game vertically, and let's see if 397 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: he can compete. Let's see what he's got. Do you 398 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 1: want the Jets playing more zone or more man against 399 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: these big receivers. Part, but you have to mix it 400 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: up because if you just play zone and you get predictable, 401 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: they'll just start sitting those zones. I think one of 402 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: the you know, the biggest mistakes of that game was 403 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: the fact that they played Red two in the middle 404 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: of the field. You know, that was a defense that's 405 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: usually for the red zone. We call it red two. 406 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: But I would say for people that don't know what 407 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: I'm talking about because I maybe speaking Chinese, because everybody 408 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: calls it something different, it's when you have Hewitt close 409 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: in the middle of the field and turned to a 410 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: former Cover three. But they recognize it and we're able 411 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: to get a receiver up the scene and for a 412 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: huge touchdown play. And you know, that's something that you 413 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 1: you don't really want to see because when you become 414 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: predictable like that, people are gonna have plans for things 415 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: that you do that. Well, you're going against Greg Williams defense, 416 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a red tube beater and you're gonna 417 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: definitely have a cover zero beater because you know it's coming. 418 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,239 Speaker 1: So I think, if we're gonna do that, and we're 419 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: gonna play that, you know, because every team and every 420 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: coordinator is different. If I'm gonna play that, I need 421 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: Hugh to make sure that he stays that linebacker depth, 422 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: because when he gets that seven yards deep, he sends 423 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: a text message to the entire team, the entire stadium 424 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: that that's the coverage that they're in. I'm going to 425 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 1: the other side of the ball and going on the outside. 426 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: I'll take Brashotte, Perryman and Denzel Mims against those very 427 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: impressive Dolphins cornerbacks. Remember the last time the Jets saw 428 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, they were shut out down in South Florida, 429 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: So hoping for a different result this weekend. You see 430 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: Denzel Mims three catches seventy one yards. He drew a 431 00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: pair of penalties against the Chargers. Uh. Brashotte Perryman has 432 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: been in the ends on three times the last two games. 433 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: But bart these Dolphins cornerbacks, This tandem Byron Jones Xavier Howard. 434 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: Howard now has six interceptions tied from the NFL lead. 435 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: We know they like to play a lot of man 436 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: coverage on the outside and the Dolphins will bring a 437 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 1: lot of blitzes at whoever is playing quarterback for the Jets. 438 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: Where would you rank these Dolphins corners? I mean, I 439 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: think I think they're right up there. I mean, I 440 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: think that the best. You know Trio or you know 441 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 1: pair of Corners with his eyes in Baltimore and Humphries 442 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: and Marcus Peters. But you can say Xavier and Byron 443 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: Jones are right there. You know, one A and one 444 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 1: b um, you know, but you know understanding that that's 445 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: what they're gonna get. I think the Jets would be 446 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: better prepared for that because whenever you have guys that 447 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: are able to get their hands on you have to 448 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: minutes ball skills. All you have to do is do 449 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: what most teams do to the ravens and to the 450 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: other you know, cover one man and man covers. You 451 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: run a lot of crossing robs, rubber rolphs, make them 452 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: fight through traffic and make them have to communicate with 453 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: each other by making cut splits and and maybe putting 454 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: man Hims and putting Paimian on the same exact side 455 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: and having a backside that that consists of Herndon and 456 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: and maybe Crowder as well. So bunch routes a lot 457 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: of a lot of crossing routes where you can mess 458 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: up the traffic. Even maybe consider putting the receiver in 459 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: the backfield. Because what happens is and I remember like 460 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 1: yesterday when they used to do that. Bill Belichick used 461 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: to do that when we we had Reevers, they brought 462 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: He brought Reeves into the box into the world that 463 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: he has nothing no idea about by putting west Walker 464 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: in the backfield and running his routes from the backfield 465 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: just like running out the slot. So maybe you to 466 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: bring Crowder and you bring Crowder into the backfield, which 467 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: brings a d dB there and forced him to communicate 468 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 1: a lot of blown coverages that way. So ethan, where 469 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: you gone? Because I like what Bart just said. Chris 470 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: Hernon had a couple of catches he got in the 471 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: end zone, so that was an encouraging sign for the 472 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: New York Jets and Jamison Crowder Adam Gates said he 473 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: probably should have had fifteen catches in the first half 474 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:58,159 Speaker 1: against the Chargers. You know, I think this is a 475 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: common phrase in the NFL that just at the NFL 476 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: is a copycat league. And when you look at what 477 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: the Broncos did against the Dolphins, looked at the amount 478 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 1: of times that to a tongue of valoo was sacked. 479 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: My matchup to watch is the Jets defensive line against 480 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: the Dolphins offensive line. That Dolphins old line has a 481 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: couple of rookies up front, like Solomon Kinley and Robert Hunt. 482 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: Austin Jackson was the first round pick earlier this past April, 483 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: and if the Jets are able to get to to ah, 484 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 1: maybe that'll rattle him a little bit. And Bart, I'm 485 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: gonna ask you for a quarterback to be one a 486 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: rookie and to receive pressure the way that the Jets 487 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 1: give it, which is typically up the middle. The strength 488 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: of that defensive line. How much can that disrupt a 489 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: young quarterback's rhythm on the road his first time starting 490 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: against the Jets. Well, I think it's you know, when 491 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: you stay on a roll, you gotta You'll say that 492 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: with an asterisk, because you don't have the things that 493 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: you have to deal with traditionally, with with no fans 494 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: in the stands, no no doing down in Miami, it's 495 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: a little different, you know, silent council of just being 496 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: able to have to communicate and have non Verbero communication 497 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: was an advantage. The Jets won't have that advantage. So 498 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: now you just have to play with the rookies eyes 499 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: and make them see things that actually don't exist. And 500 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 1: you want to get to him. Anytime you can get 501 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: to anybody six times, you start putting them on the ground. 502 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: Your tool is not a big guy. You start leaning 503 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: on them. Now is starting to become a profile on them, 504 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: starting to be a book as Tennessee's the personnel groups 505 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: and where they operate with the league is starting to 506 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: catch up. And you know, Denver was just the first 507 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: team to kind of put a put a blueprint out 508 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: there on how to make his day and his life 509 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: difficult and understanding what you're gonna get. You've seen his 510 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: defense before. It gives your advantage to maybe make some adjustments, 511 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: but also seeing how you can maybe take advantage of 512 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 1: this offensive line that is young and may struggle having 513 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: to communicate. But on the back end, you're gonna need 514 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: these corners to to to lock up and you have 515 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: to do that. You have to put them on the island. 516 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: And are you willing to do that? That's that's that's 517 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: the issue. So you want to try and make sure 518 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 1: that you do safe. You know, pressures not going all out, 519 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: not cover zeros, but you know where you can overload 520 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: a side and be able to get somebody home free 521 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: without selling the farm and its imperative this week, you 522 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: York Jets get off to a good start, There's no 523 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: doubt about that. And it would be interesting if you 524 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: get the rookie quarterback in a position where, hey, maybe 525 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: the Dolphins are trailing in the third quarter and he's 526 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: looking over his shoulder at Ryan Fitzpatrick. I think it'll 527 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: be very interesting to see what happens, especially when you 528 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: consider that Fitzpatrick came in relief this pass game for 529 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 1: to uh. And before we wrap up here, bart on 530 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: a lighter note, just what's your favorite part of Thanksgiving, 531 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: specifically perhaps your favorite dish. Well, for me, it's my 532 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: it's a it's a toss up for me. Um. My 533 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: wife makes some things um that I really enjoy and 534 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 1: I kind of only indulged in them once once a year. 535 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: If she makes a safe dressing, I don't know. It 536 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: depends on where you're from. Some people say dressing, some 537 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: people say stuffing. We call it dressing. You know. I 538 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: like it when you push the sage saucags in there, 539 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: so it's like you're eating bread, but you also get 540 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: a nice chew of some nice sage savory sausage inside 541 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: of that thing as well. But also she has the 542 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: macaroni and chiefs with probably seventy different cheeses, um eferporated 543 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: milk egg and when you look at it may only 544 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: be this big, but it weighs probably about seventy five pounds. 545 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: That's how I like it. And the last word on that, 546 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: that stuff in that dressing sounds fantastic. Tell us what 547 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 1: you feel about sweet potato? Uh, sweet potato pie eaten 548 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: over here? Does not like sweep but he must have 549 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: to have patty pies because if you get a nice, 550 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: good sweet potato pie, it's like it's like a slice 551 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: of heaven. You put a little whipped cream on it. 552 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 1: Maybe get it, get it, get get some nice coke, cold, 553 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: some hot chocolate.

And I'm 557 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: saying it's not that he doesn't like pump that he 558 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: doesn't like sweepotated pie, is that he hasn't had a 559 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: good piece of sweeping taded pot What the hell are 560 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: you buy your pie?
