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 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: All right, thanks fits well. For the first time in

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: two thousand and sixteen, our quarterback returns here to the

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: Jets Podcast network, and that, of course is Chad Pennington. Chad,

6
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: so excited to have you back for another year. Listen.

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: Unfortunately we're gonna have to start on a little bit

8
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: of a sour note. There is no joy in Jetsville

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: right now. Is the Green and White fall to fall?

10
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: Uh in their season opener three to twenty two to

11
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. Chad, what were your takeaways of that

12
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: ball game as you process the film? Well, Eric, first

13
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: of all, and great to be back for another uh

14
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: season of Jeff foot ball. And uh, you know, watching

15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 1: the game, Uh, you feel good about some things, and

16
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 1: then you don't feel good about some things. And that's

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: kind of how the game went and why it was

18
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: three to twenty two at the end and not in

19
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: the Jets favor. So when you look at the film,

20
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: I think you say, while there's there's some really good

21
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: things on film that the Jets can build upon, there's

22
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: there's some great things that happened with the defensive line,

23
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 1: the pressure on the quarterback, great things in the running game.

24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: A few pass players were made uh a noon while

25
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: being able to be incorporated into the passing game was

26
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: huge for the Jet. So you see some sparks, you

27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: see some potential there, but then you also see where

28
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: a team um allowed the opponent uh to beat them

29
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: and not based upon what the opponent did, but more

30
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: based upon what you didn't do UH as far as

31
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: your team. And so that's that's disappointing. I'm sure the

32
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: coaches and the players are all disappointed in that because

33
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: this is certainly a game that that the Jets needed

34
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: to win. They should have won, and they did. You

35
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: mentioned the defensive line. Let's start on that side of

36
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: the ball. Seven sacks in all for the Jets. That

37
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: tie their most ever in the season opener. They had nineteen.

38
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: In nineteen sixty six, they had seven sacks as well,

39
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: so we're gonna have to go back a few decades

40
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: to reach that total. But six of those sacks came

41
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: from the defensive line. Steve McClendon in his first appearance

42
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: with the Jets, he had two sacks. Leonard Williams Chad

43
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: who I thought had a fabulous summer. Two and a

44
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: half sacks and he had five quarterback hits. Moul Wokerson,

45
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: he's fully back from the broken leg heat a second

46
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: and a half and oh yeah, the Jets are now

47
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: getting Sheldon Richardson back this week off of his one

48
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: game suspension. How good can this defensive line be? Well,

49
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: this defensive line can be the best in football. There's

50
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. They have the potential. Um they

51
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 1: have the athleticism, they have the versatility, and I think

52
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: what's really interesting in what should be exciting for Jets

53
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: and um as their secondary is coming along. I have

54
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: that defensively, from a coordinator spot and just from a

55
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: play following spot, you can really rely upon your defensive

56
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: line to create the quarterback pressure and not necessarily have

57
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: to rely upon your blitz package to do that, which

58
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: then frees up another defender to help in the secondary

59
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: with double team coverages, more too, safety looks and things

60
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: like that. So with the play of the defensive line,

61
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: which was extremely positive on Sunday, think against the Jet defense,

62
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: more options and more versatility to see what they want

63
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: to do from a coverage standpoint. Obviously, Chad. The defensive

64
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: backs weren't happy in the locker room after that game.

65
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: Everybody on that team wanted to get the victory so bad.

66
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: But that was a secondary who's played together before. And

67
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: Todd Bowls spoke about his postgame news conference saying, there

68
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: were too many bus in the defensive backfield. What was

69
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: your reaction watching some of those big plays that Cincinnati

70
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: was able to get. We know the pressure was there

71
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: throughout the game, but the Bengals still were able to

72
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: hit on a few big plays and that ultimately was

73
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: the difference in this ballgame. Well, any time as a defense,

74
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: you go into your game plan and you say who

75
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: is their best player, and whoever you determine their best

76
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: player is, you builded the game plan to say he

77
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: cannot beat us. And that's how you build the game plan.

78
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: And when you look at the stash sheet and you

79
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: watch the game, Unfortunately for the Jets, their best player

80
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: in the Bengals with a J Green, helped beat them.

81
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: And so that's what's most frustrating as a defense, that's

82
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: what they're most frustrated about. It. They knew who their

83
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: best player was, they had a plan for him, and

84
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: in a j Green still helped the Bengals beat the Jets,

85
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: and so, um, that's what you have to take away

86
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: from this game is the game plan was to stop

87
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: a J. Green and a J. Green was not stopped.

88
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: And so whether it be a bust in coverage, a

89
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: lack in tackling, whatever it may be the case, the

90
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: best player can't have twelve catches for a hundred eighty

91
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: yards and and and have such an impact on the

92
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: game as a J. Green did. So that's what's most frustrating. Um.

93
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: I know that they'll get a fixed with Reeves being

94
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: such pro and and having the leadership skills that he does,

95
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: and then the secondary playing together, they'll get to fix.

96
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: And they need to get a fixed because there's some

97
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: other parts of the defense they're playing extremely well, and

98
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: when they get the secondary part of the fix, they're

99
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: going to be very hard to try to execute against Chad.

100
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: You just match a Rivus and Hugo wrote into me

101
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: on Twitter and he said, what is Puttington's take on

102
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: where Revus is at at this point in his career? Well,

103
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: I think we've been spoiled, um, as Jeff fans and

104
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: fans of Drelle revs are watching him as a younger player,

105
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: seeing how dominant he was, and he was so dominant

106
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: as a younger player, we when we see just a

107
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: little bit of lack in production or we see even

108
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: pass being call on Durrell Revers, we have a shock

109
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: factor from it from a fan perspective. And so I

110
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: still think Reevers is one of the top quarters in

111
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: the league. Does he do some of the same things

112
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: or have some of the same capabilities that he had

113
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: four or five years ago. Probably not, But he's still effective.

114
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: He's still very good. He still allows the Jet defense

115
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: to be more versatile because of his cover skills. He

116
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: just has to adapt and and how he plays, and

117
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: so and so does the Jets defense as the player

118
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: gets older. Yeah, well, now let's go to the other

119
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: side of the ball. So I really liked what I

120
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: saw to Matt Forte. We didn't see him too much

121
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: in the preseason. Saw him get his feet wide against

122
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. He was bothered by a nagging

123
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: hamstring hamstring injury at the beginning of the summer, But

124
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: while Chad he really impressed me. As a person who's

125
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: been uh covering the Jets for the past sixteen seasons.

126
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: I haven't had the opportunity to watch too much Forte

127
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: other than highlights, but his receiving ability as advertised, he's

128
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: very smooth, what vision he has and also I love

129
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: his little cutbacks. What did you think about him and

130
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: his first performance for the Jets and how can he

131
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: help this team over forward? Now? I was excited to

132
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: see his performance. I was excited to see the performance

133
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: of the run game in general. The run game provided

134
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: such a huge spark and and when the Jets did

135
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: a spark u after the decense gave up a big

136
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: play or a touchdown, the run game provided that. And

137
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: that's really nice to see. Uh. For Forte, you can

138
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: see that he does a great job and not dancing

139
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: in the whole thing. In the whole he finds that

140
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: one cut and he goes. He does have vision, he

141
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: does provide versatility out of the backfield, so you know

142
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: that he's just not a first or second I'm back.

143
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: He's he's all down by downs and then when you

144
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: have him will help as well. I mean, you have

145
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: a nice one too. Punks there maybe not as physical

146
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: as they were last year with Chris Ivory, but at

147
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: the same time, Steel very effective, and the reason they

148
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: can be effective is because of jam Daily's use of

149
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: formations and spread formations and personnels with form wide receivers,

150
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: three ride receivers of tied end that allows those two

151
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: running backs to operate in space to be successful. You

152
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: mentioned the offensive line, and I know a lot of

153
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: Jets fans aren't focused on that right now, but what

154
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm excited about with this team is the play in

155
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: the trenches. You mentioned the defensive line and you said, hey,

156
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: I think this could be the top defensive line in

157
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: the entire National Football League. Now you go to the

158
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: other side of the ball, and rightfully so, a couple

159
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: of question marks there as we answered the season because

160
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: we just didn't know because we hadn't seen this unit together.

161
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: Ryan Klaytie replaces the britishaw ferguson your old left tackle, buddy,

162
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: and then obviously Brian Winners got some starting experience last year,

163
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: but it was Willie Cologne who started at right guard

164
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: two thousand fifteen opening day and then at right tackle.

165
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: With Brenod jock Amini on the pup list, the Jets

166
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: alternated right tackles in the season opener. By night Gelana started,

167
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: but brun quality got in there as well. Protection was

168
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: good against a solid front that includes Geno Atkins and

169
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: Carlos Dunlap. And you mentioned that they moved the ball

170
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: on the ground, and I don't think a lot of

171
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: people took as much note of that chad as maybe

172
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: they should have. Well, and the good thing about the

173
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: Jets offensive line is that no one's talking about them,

174
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: which means their performance was solid because normally when when

175
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: people talk about an offensive line, it's because their performance

176
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: was not followed and they've given up sacks, so they

177
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: didn't produce in the run games, and so no one

178
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: has said anything because there's nothing really to say, uh

179
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: from a mistake standpoint. I'm sure there's technical things they

180
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: need to clean up a few uh uh m e

181
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: s mental heirs every once in a while, but for

182
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: the most part, they were solid and it was very impressive,

183
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: like you said, to have two right tackles on the

184
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: in the opener and the half such solid performance that

185
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: is extremely that's unheard of. You don't You don't hear that,

186
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: nor do you see that. And for the Jet to

187
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: be able to basically play six lineen uh in a

188
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: season opener and have The production that they had is

189
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: impressive and it's a tribute to the offensive line codes

190
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: in the offense and Jane Gailey and those guys because

191
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: they did have a solid they had a solid winning performance.

192
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: Wasn't their best performance, no, but they had a winning performance.

193
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: All Right, We're gonna keep it real here on the

194
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,599
Speaker 1: e A Podcast bottom line because we've talked about a

195
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: number of positives, but we also talked about a couple

196
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: of them. Excuse the Jets head in the season opener,

197
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna take a fan question off on Twitter

198
00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: right now. Chet Jet Life five sixteen asks what are

199
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: the Jets going to do to improve the red zone plays?

200
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: And then he asked specifically, why why wasn't there a

201
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: quarterback sneak on the one inch line? Here's my thing

202
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna let you get to the red zone

203
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: here Jet my take on the Monday morning quarterbacking. Throughout

204
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: the years, I've never heard people talk about what did

205
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator call in that situation? But when things

206
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: go wrong on offense, it's always the play calling. Well, yes,

207
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: and that's because most people when they want watch the game,

208
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: they will only watch the ball. They don't watch anything

209
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: around the ball, so that it's never about the defensive

210
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: play calling. But there's no question from from the Jets

211
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: offensive siety, it was about the red zone. And I

212
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: only not only say it was a red zone, it

213
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: was the deep red zone. Uh. It's one thing to

214
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: get inside the twenty and then you kick a field

215
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: goal from the eight team, But when you get inside

216
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: the twelve three three times and you don't come away

217
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 1: with three of those touchdowns, that's huge. That there's the

218
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: game offensively, and so whether it's running or passing, the

219
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: execution was just not there. Sometimes the ball was forced

220
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: into places it probably shouldn't be forced, and so not

221
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: the execution just wasn't enough. Even in the last the

222
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: last chance that they had in the red zone, receiver

223
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: gets knocked off the covers the ball has already thrown.

224
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: The red zone is a difficult place to execute because

225
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: the space is really tight. You have to anticipate holes

226
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: in places, and sometimes you don't take into account whether

227
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: an extra defenders in that area or if the receiver

228
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: gets knocked off, that messes up the whole timing. And

229
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: so it's it's it's very there's a lot of intricacies

230
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: within the red zone. But certainly the offense, the Jets

231
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: offense knows that you can't come away with that type

232
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: of performance in the red zone expect to win. What

233
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: was your take on the trifactor Fitzpatrick, Eric Ducker, Brandon

234
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: Marshall Because I think sometimes we're spoiled so much that

235
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: we think that every game these guys are gonna combine

236
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: for twelve catches and a hundred and eighty five yards

237
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns. Against Cincinnati they combined for five catches

238
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Decker got in beautiful back shoulder strike

239
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: from Fitzpatrick. But was that more so Cincinnati doing a

240
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: good job on their end focusing on your top targets

241
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: or was it more of a case of the Jets

242
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: having some options emerging. We've talked about four to and

243
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: I know you really liked what you saw at the

244
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: Quincy Innumera. Well, there's two reasons. Number one, the only

245
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: way that you get more opportunities and the only way

246
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: that receivers can have more opportunities is to convert on

247
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: third down. So when you're four twelve on third down,

248
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: you don't have those opportunities, You're you're limiting your opportunities,

249
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: and so that's why production of Decker and Brandon Marshall,

250
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons why it wasn't there, or

251
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: at least it wasn't what we normally expect. Secondly, um

252
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: the production was a little bit down because of the

253
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: play of Quincy and Noon one, which is really a positive.

254
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: The the way that Jan Gailey and the Jets offense

255
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: got him involved, the plays that he made is awesome

256
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: to see because they need that, they need that for

257
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: future games later in the season, and it also opens

258
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: up areas for Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker to work

259
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: as well. So those are the two reasons. But if

260
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: you really want to get these guys involved, you have

261
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: to be better on third dawn, so that now you

262
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: create another set of down. Even if you only even

263
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: if you get from four to twelve to six or twelve,

264
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: which's fantastic, that's six extra opportunities those guys have to

265
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: make plays at the minimum. Plus if you convert some

266
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: of those opportunities, not even on third down, the first

267
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: second down, with those two sexture plays that you have,

268
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: now you have even more opportunities. So third down, to me,

269
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: it's it's where it's out when you're trying to make

270
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: sure that Brandon Morsel and Theeric Decker get the production

271
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: that you need them to get. Let's get the quarterbacks

272
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: take on Ryan Fitzpatrick nineteen of thirty five, nine sack

273
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: just the one time fits Uh in a good rhythm

274
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: with his offensive line. As we talked about two touchdowns,

275
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: the first one beautiful drive, I mean tremendous drive. That

276
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: opening drive. I really liked the way uh Jan Gailey

277
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: Uh called that one and the Jets executed out of

278
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: the gate to take the seven nothing lead. And then

279
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: the back shoulder passed two Decker for a second touchdown,

280
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: and then he interception late as the Jets we're trying

281
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: to get that game winning drives set up an attempt

282
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: for a Nick Folk field goal. What do you think

283
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: of Fits overall? Well, I thought that it was for

284
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: him and what he's capable of. It was average. It

285
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: certainly wasn't a losing performance, but it wasn't a game

286
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: winning performance either. Um. Even if the Jets win the game,

287
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: I think he would tell you I can play much better,

288
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: UM and be more effective from a completion percentage standpoint,

289
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: said nineteen and thirty five, you'd like to see that

290
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: around twenty two and thirty five. You need to see

291
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: three or four more completions to sustain drives, to have

292
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: a chance for bigger plays, just to create some more

293
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: production in the passing game. UM. On a positive note, Uh,

294
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: he did a great job of getting rid of the

295
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: ball quickly, UM, not taking the sacks, not leaving the

296
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: jets in long yard and situations. So he managed the

297
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: game well. And then the last thing I would say

298
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: is in the red zone, UM, all it needs to

299
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: do is just be careful of being so honed in

300
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: on trying to get random marshal the ball. Um. Sometimes

301
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna take that option away, and they're gonna be

302
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: other receivers that need to step up and make plays,

303
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: whether it be Decker or noon Law or they have

304
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: too great running backs out of the backfield that can

305
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: really do some good things. So I'm sure they'll talk

306
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: about that. That's something that I see moving forward. All right,

307
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna move forward. What's your take on Todd Bowls

308
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: coming out early on Monday saying to the media, I

309
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: am not going to talk about the Cincinnati Bengals, and

310
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: he was asked a number of times about week one,

311
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: he said, we have moved on to Buffalo. What do

312
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: you think about that philosophy? As the Jets only have

313
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: basically two days to prepare before they head out to Buffalo. Yeah,

314
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: he has no choice. I don't think coach Bowles is

315
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: trying to be mean or trying to be uh an

316
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: adversary to the media, which when it comes to talking

317
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: about the meals. But he has no choice. Literally, the

318
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: Jets have no choice. They had to flush this game

319
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: and get right onto Buffalo because within a matter of

320
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: days they can really get this bad taste out of

321
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: their mouth. And within ten days they played two games

322
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: and they could be sitting there at one on one.

323
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: So this is huge. Um, you know, I thought the

324
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: opener was really really big. Now with the lost this

325
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: second game, I mean, this is it. This is where

326
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,959
Speaker 1: it's at, especially for earlier, early part of the season.

327
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: They have to be able to come out and grab

328
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: this win, and they're going to be very capable of

329
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: doing this. Uh. Playing in Buffalo early is a good thing,

330
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: and they certainly have the recipe as well as the

331
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: players and the team to to get to one and

332
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: one and and beat what's going to be an emotional

333
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: time for the Buffalo Billings UH their home opener on

334
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: Thursday night. It's gonna be a big time challenge, but

335
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: the one that it's one that the Jets can take on. Well,

336
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: what is the winning recipe this week? The Jets. The

337
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: Bills were thorn in the Jets side last year. One

338
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: a pair of decisions, two seventeen identical scores. Jets finished

339
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: ton of six overall last year, just three and three

340
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 1: inside the division. And like I mentioned, h buff We'll

341
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: got him a couple of times last year. UH. To me,

342
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: there's two keys in this game, turnovers and red zone UM.

343
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: Against Rex Ryan, typically it's gonna be all about turnovers

344
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: and what his defense can try to force. UM. And

345
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: if you look at the last two games last year,

346
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: that's what it was about. It was either about turnover

347
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: here and there, and sometimes if you look at the

348
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: last game, it was a turnover in the red zone,

349
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: which is a double whamming. So that's what it's gonna

350
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: be about. UM, Jets not having turnovers and when they

351
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: get in the red zone, yes they need points, but

352
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: they need more touchdowns and field goals. UM. This is

353
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: also a game that you realize that it's not going

354
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: to be a game where the Buffalo Bills are going

355
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: to score thirty points. And so that really plays into

356
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: your decision making as a quarterback. UM that really um

357
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: magnifies turnovers, It really magnifies getting points in the red zone.

358
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: Can't have black field goals, can't have missed extra point.

359
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: You just can't do that. It's this is a game

360
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: that you expect. It's going to come down to try

361
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: to win seventeen three to twenty maybe even the seventeen

362
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: fourteen games that I think the Jeffs are talented enough

363
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: to put up. So do you think you just mentioned?

364
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: And that was very interesting And I love getting your

365
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: thought process here because you were out there in the

366
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: field when you look across the way and you're Ryan

367
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick and you're in the film room this week, and

368
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: you look at the Bill's defense and say, Okay, they

369
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: were solid against me last year. They played very well

370
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: in the season opener against Baltimore. They lost to the Ravens,

371
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: but they had four sacks and only gave out thirteen points.

372
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: They gave their team an opportunity to win. And we

373
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: know rox Ryan as a termendous defensive play caller. When

374
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: you're saying that the Bills are probably not a team

375
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: who is gonna be able to score thirty points on

376
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: most occasions, especially against your defense, Uh so does fits

377
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: have to have a different approach when he plays the

378
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: Bills that there's this game is going to be about

379
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: situational awareness as a quarterback and realizing that, um, you

380
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: you must force the Bills offense to beat you. So

381
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: as an offense yourself. Um, there may be a time

382
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: where it's it's second and ten and you really like

383
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: this throw on the end route, but because the windows

384
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: a little bit too close, the risk is much greater

385
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,719
Speaker 1: than the reward, and so you don't take that opportunity

386
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: because you know that the Bills can't score as much

387
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: as they would like unless they have big play capability.

388
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: And with the you know, unavailability or availability or depending

389
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: on what happens with Samuel Walking, that really affects things.

390
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: And so, um, you've got to go in with that

391
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: mentality a keep playing close to the vest, keep do

392
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: not give the Bills a chance to cathwize on our

393
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: mistakes or our turn and overs where we give them

394
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: short field deal. Position is going to be huge. Rex.

395
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: Ryan loves to playfield position game and let the defense

396
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: dictate that, and so you have to understand what type

397
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: of game it's going to be. It's very similar to

398
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: when I was with the Jets. When we play the

399
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, we knew that it was a really good defense.

400
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: Their defense ran the team. As long as we hung

401
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: in there for four quarters, we would find a way

402
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 1: to punch it out in the end, and we did

403
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: seven out of eight times. What do you expect on

404
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball. Totally different offense like

405
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: you mentioned, uh, Cincinnati, we know what they can do.

406
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: Big playoffense. The Bills, I wouldn't consider a big playoffense,

407
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: but they can get you if Tyrod gets out of

408
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: the pocket because he loves the long ball. The Ravens

409
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: made him sit in the pocket last week. You mentioned

410
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins. We don't know where he is percentage wise.

411
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: He plans on playing this week, obviously surgially surgically repaired

412
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: foot in the offseason. They do have some players tight on.

413
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 1: Charles Clay is one of the better receiving options at

414
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: the position of football on my mind, and Shandy McCoy

415
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: is a tremendous back who can make something out of nothing.

416
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: They are banged up up front door defensively, what's the

417
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: game playing against this team? Defensively? It's gonna be like

418
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: you said, Keith Tyrod Taylor in the pocket. Make him

419
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: a pocket passer. He doesn't have the hight. He's not

420
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: known as a pocket passer. He was fifteen and twenty

421
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: two for like a hundred eleven yards against the Raven

422
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: So even though he had a high completion percentence, the

423
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: ball wasn't mean moved down the field and he didn't.

424
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: He wasn't able to extend plays, which that's normally where

425
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: he finds his opportunities to create big plays when he

426
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: extends plays to be able to get outside the pocket.

427
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,719
Speaker 1: So keep him in the pocket, make him a pocket passer,

428
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 1: and then the Jets must eliminate the big play. They

429
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: do those two things. This to me is a twenty

430
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: four or third teen Jet win. Uh. I like that.

431
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: I like the sound of that. How are the Bills

432
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: going to counter? What do you think's got have gone through?

433
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: Greg Romance mind as he prepares to face Todd Balls

434
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: and Casey Rodgers net defensive line. The way they got

435
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: after Andy Dalton. Uh, a solid linebacker group and a

436
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: secondary who is gonna be held bunt on coming back

437
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: and playing a lot better than they did on Week one.

438
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: How how do you think the Bills are gonna attempt

439
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: to attack this team? Well, they're gonna make sure that

440
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: they're going to eliminate negative plays on first and second down.

441
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: They can't allow the Jets defense to establish the tempo

442
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: on first and second down and impose their will upon

443
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: them to wear on third down. They're sitting there a

444
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: third and eight, third and ten, third and twelve. That

445
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: doesn't that's not going to be good for the Bill.

446
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: So they're gonna try to be creative on first and

447
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: second down with not your normal run packages, but using

448
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna try to use wide receiver screens,

449
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: running back screen, really get creative on the perimeter to

450
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: create first and second down yards. Uh, use a shade McCoy,

451
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: use some of their weapons out on the perimeter. That

452
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: that's necessarily not conventional, but for them it will have

453
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: to be conventional against the Jest defense, something they'll have

454
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: to really focus in on. So I think they'll have

455
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: a huge package when it comes to screen and short throws,

456
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: empty package, different things like that, and not just lining

457
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: up and thinking that we can move the ball in

458
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: conventional sets. Chad, you played a number of times. It

459
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: used to be called Ralph Wilson Stadium. Now I think

460
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: they're calling a new era field in western New York.

461
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,719
Speaker 1: You know, you know the fans are gonna be crazy

462
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: either right on top of you as far as the

463
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: stadium is concerned on that sideline. Um, do you believe

464
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: in the philosophy as a guy who was out there

465
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: playing that you have to survive an initial surge from

466
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: the other team based on the motion of just playing

467
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: at home. Well, part of the survival though, is to

468
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,239
Speaker 1: be you know, extremely focused and prepared and when you

469
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to make it play in a big

470
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: play at that you've got to make it. Can't be drops,

471
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: whether it be interceptions or receptions on the offensive side,

472
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: can't be anything like that. And so that's how you

473
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: not only whether that storm of emotion, but you also

474
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: just flat take it away to be very solid. And

475
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: what you're doing now at the same time, part of

476
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: whether in that storm is not looking to try to

477
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: make you play, not pressing too hard to try to

478
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: make you play, allowing the game to come to you

479
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: do what you're supposed to do with this sigment and

480
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: the alignment that you have within the system. And then

481
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: once that big play opportunity is there to be had,

482
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: you have to capitalize. Now, I'm gonna ask you to

483
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: put your analysts tap back. You consider that's a key

484
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: early game, don't you, because you not being in the

485
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: locker room anymore, and know the schedule ahead, and and

486
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 1: it is tough on paper when you look at that

487
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: Kansas City Seattle at home at Pittsburgh and then road

488
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: trips the Pitts again Arizona. Uh, and this is a

489
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: divisional game, and you would have a lot different feel

490
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: inside the building and outside as a fan base. Right

491
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: if you get this one and you're one on one

492
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: after two and everything's fine, no questions, because if you

493
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: look at the four the games are being played, you say, okay,

494
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, one on one after the first two games

495
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: with a playoff team and the opener, and and then

496
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,479
Speaker 1: you have the Buffalo Bills who played extremely well at

497
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: home and are improved one on one. It's not great,

498
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: but it's not terrible. Um So, now in the position

499
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: that they're in by losing the opener, although there's some

500
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 1: great things ahead and great things that have happened in

501
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: the opener, you say this to me, and they've got

502
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: to win this game, uh, to really feel good about

503
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: their progress as a team and to build some momentum

504
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: moving into this next four game stretch. This is one

505
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: that they definitely need to have and and then and

506
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: mind you that it's also a division game, so winning

507
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: those division games are extremely important, no doubt about that. Well,

508
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. Our season has kicked off. Chad Pennington

509
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: back in the analysts chair, and uh, we're gonna be

510
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: talking to you after that Bill's game, Chad, enjoy the

511
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: rest of the week. Okay, Eric, thank you,
