WEBVTT - Pennington Previews Jets-Dolphins London Clash 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.600 Welcome to Jets Audibles, Eric Allen, and as always, joined 0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:09.520 by my partner here Chad Pennyton, on our podcast, a 0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:14.160 weekly podcast. Okay, Chad, let's get right to it. Let's 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:19.040 talk about Jets Eagles seventeen, the Green and White Taste 0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:21.880 defeat for the first time in two thousand and fifteen. 0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:27.440 What are your major takeaways from that game? Well, first, Eric, 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.400 I think it's exactly what we talked about last week. 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:34.159 Going into the Jets Eagles game. You're facing an Eagles 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:39.480 team who's obviously struggling offensively, struggling to find some continuity 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.960 and trying to get a victory. So as the team 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.920 playing against the Eagles, you don't want to breathe the 0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:50.640 life into them. And having four turnovers and a special 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:55.760 teams touchdown certainly breede life into a team that is struggling. 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:59.480 And so that's exactly what happened. That's what the Jets did. 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:01.840 They breathe the license to a team, especially in that 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.920 first half. Uh, they give them life and and and 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:09.240 the Eagles were professional enough to be able to capitalize 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:12.640 on some of those opportunities, and that was just enough 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.640 to come out with the victory. And that's exactly what happened. 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.200 Everybody deals with injuries in the National Football League, you 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:25.200 know that better than most. With both Chris Ivory and 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.959 Eric Decker out of the line upon watch, did that 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:33.560 impact Ryan Fitzpatrick, especially early in that ball game, when 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:39.000 the team failed to establish any kind of rhythm. Well 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.600 that that's the key word, is rhythm. When you're talking 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:47.240 about offensive football, you're looking for establishing rhythm. And sometimes 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:52.280 rhythm doesn't necessarily mean points, but it does mean extended drives, 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.440 it does mean eliminating three and out. It does mean 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:59.600 stability within the game. And when you remove two players 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.960 like Ivory and deck Are from the lineup, some of 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:06.160 the rhythm and stability goes away and other players have 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.440 to establish that. And I think that the Jets really 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:13.960 missed Eric Decker's presence in the passing game because even 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:18.760 when he doesn't make flashy plays, he makes rhythm plays 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.079 that allow an offense to stay on the field, allowing 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.440 offense to stay ahead of the chains, which is really 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.720 really important, and that was certainly something that the Jets 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:32.280 was missing. The Jets were missing uh in the game 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.160 versus the Eagles. Knock on Wood will be back this 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:38.919 Sunday when the Jets faced the Dolphins at Wembley Stadium 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.600 in London, England. Will get to that here in a moment. 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.800 What do you think about Devin Smith, the rookie from 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.040 Ohio State. He gets in the lineup. I think he 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.720 was targeted nine times either three receptions. I know fans 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:55.040 are la money net turnover deep uh down in Eagles territory. 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:58.040 One fits one up top to him in the corner 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:03.760 there when he had a one on one cover. Well, 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:07.320 I think there were flashes of goodness there. There were 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.800 flashes and signs that hey, this guy could be a 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.960 really good player for us. I think that the Eagles 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.359 came into the game knowing that this guy could run, 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.359 that he was a deep thread in college. They were 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.280 aware of that. That's why he saw some of the 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.480 completions to him out on the sideline. With the fad 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.840 staff routes and the comeback routes, they were successful. I 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.040 think you also saw that he does have the ability 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.919 to penetrate the defense vertically. Um what you saw with 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.840 the interception, you saw a quarterback trying to get a 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.320 feel for how to throw to a receiver he's not 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.600 used to. Number one and then you also saw a 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:48.200 young receiver in that same instance not truly understand uh, 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.200 what it takes to get open down the field in 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:55.680 the NFL. It's one thing to outrun defensive backs in college, 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.200 but in the NFL you typically don't just out run 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.880 defensive by You have to gain position on them or 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.560 they will make you pay. And that's what you saw 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.920 on the interception, Ryan Fitzpatrick learning that I've got to 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.920 really push this ball down the field more to Devin 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.600 Smith type of receiver, but then Devon Smith learning that yes, 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:17.920 once I do get by the defender, I've got to 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:21.679 now pushed back into him and established position the coast. 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:25.839 Position is much more important than speed. Just how difficult 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.599 is it for any quarterback in the National Football League? 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:33.039 Putting it up close to sixty times. We'll take Tom 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.159 Brady out of the equation here, because sometimes the Pets 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.480 aren't even interested in moving to football on the ground 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.839 because they're so prolific in the passing game. But that 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:46.560 being said, this Jets team down Fitzpatrick at the end 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:51.560 of the afternoon fifty eight pass attempts, and everybody here 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.320 inside the building has said, hey, listen, that's not our 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:58.920 formula for success offensively, well, that's not in the formula 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.960 for for anybody success. And and even for the Patriots, 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.159 they would tell you that they don't want to major 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.840 in that category throwing the ball fifty eight times. Now, 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.320 there have been game plans for the Patriots have played 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.560 really good run fronts and things like that, and they've 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.280 used a short passing game as an extension of the 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:17.960 running game, and that's why they've been able to throw 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.599 up twofty times to be successful. But typically for any 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.640 NFL team, throwing the ball fifty eight times it's not 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:28.800 a formula for success, primarily because you can't take the 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:32.080 risk of getting your quarterback hit. Anytime you drop back, 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.360 you're taking your risk giving your quarterback hit and injured. 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:38.360 The fifty eight times certainly increases that risk. So it 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.039 was one of those situations where they had to I 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.080 think the interesting thing about the game, even I thought 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:47.720 that the two minute drive before halftime was crucial. That 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.240 was a great drive, some really good plays being made 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.159 set the tone for the second half, and unfortunately the 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.640 Jets weren't able to take advantage of some of the 0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:00.000 opportunities they had in the second half to get back uh, 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.360 into the game and really make this a bold game, 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.120 which it could have easily been. Yeah, great point there 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.279 about the tempo. And you know, we take Twitter questions 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:12.920 every week and Josh asked, with the temple being flat 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.760 in the first half against Philly, will chan gaily pick 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.960 up the speed against the questionable Dolphins defense? And I 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.159 love that question because Chad a couple of weeks ago 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.360 we were talking about that as well, that the Jets 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.040 got off to a relatively slow start against the Browns, 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:31.000 but they had that nice drive at the under the 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.599 first half when they were in hurry up mode as well, 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.400 and then we saw it happened last week against the Eagles. 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:41.400 What do you think about possibly picking up the temple 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:45.640 a little bit well, and all the ends on what 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:50.000 your offensive philosophy is. In tempo, there's different ways to 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:54.000 look at tempo. Some people believe tempo with no huddle, uh, 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.520 you know, getting to the line fast. Other people believe 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:58.479 that tempo is just getting in and out the huddle, 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.400 getting the play called efficiently, getting out to the line 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.720 with second left in the play cards that really decipher 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.000 what the defense is doing. And see if you can 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.200 put yourself in a in a better position with a 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.480 better play call, whether it being audible or what have you. So, uh, 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:16.280 it all depends. I think also, tempo really depends upon 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.080 first and second down success. And the reason that you 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.920 didn't see a lot of tempo in the first half 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.080 was because there was no first down success. There. There 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:29.560 wasn't a lot of rhythm plays that allow your offense 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.720 to get into a tempo and to get into a 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.600 rhythm where they can start to be successful. There were 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.640 three and outs, there were negative plays on first down, 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.760 the running game or the passing game. So it was 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:44.120 just a very difficult half for the Jet to get 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.080 into a nice tempo and rhythm. You said it before, 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:50.800 I think Decker is so key and so vital for 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.760 this offense movie forward. Not saying that can't win without 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:58.160 him in the lineup, obviously, but he makes them a 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.040 different ball club. What do you think about Marshall's game? 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:06.080 You know him, he's got unbelievably high standards, and Tide 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:09.280 Bowls said, hey, listen, he didn't play to his standards, 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.480 he didn't play to our standards. Did you think Marshall 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:18.679 was pressing a little bit? Well, I'm certainly uncharacteristic for 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.120 him to make both of those plays goes to the 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.360 turnovers or certainly on him. He would tell you the 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:28.160 same thing. Um, it pushed the panic button a little bit, 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:32.000 try to make more out of something that was not there. 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:37.480 With the lateral, the attempted lateral which was deemed to fumble. Uh. 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:41.080 That reminded me of Bill Parcell's team commandments, and one 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:45.079 of the quarterback team commandments would be that impulse decisions 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:49.240 normally equal mistakes. That was certainly an impulse decision that 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:53.160 turned into a huge mistake, especially in plus territory. It 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:56.280 was a big past completion for the Jets. That was 0:08:56.320 --> 0:09:00.679 the first down completion as well, and really get your 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.439 your offense going and the crowd into it, and then 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.439 something like that happens, and that was a player trying 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.000 to do too much, take too much upon his shoulders. 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:11.800 And then the second one just that's a routine catch 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:13.560 for him that he makes and he didn't make it. 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.920 So I'm sure he's disappointed in that as well. Jets 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:20.160 fans obviously want to see Chris Ivory in the lineup. 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:25.520 He started off, uh, really hot this season in that 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.320 first game against the Browns. He's been slowed by injuries. 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:32.680 But you like balal Paul's game, didn't you? I did. 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.520 I thought pal actually played it well and did some 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:39.320 good things, uh in the passing game especially, he created 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.000 us with space in the passing game, made a couple 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:43.800 of good runs. I mean, when you look at his staff, 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.960 they're not flashy, with a little over thirty yards rushing 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.760 in the little over forty yards receiving. But I thought 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.720 there were some positive signs for him that he is 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.680 an essential part to this offense and he's a great 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:59.160 compliment to Chris Ivory. I think it was more of 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.680 the situation and then the team performing well that you know, 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:06.200 dictated his stat line and his statue sheet. But I 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.400 thought that for what he was given in the optus, 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.200 he was given the heat. He did make some really 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.640 good plays for the joke. But my take on the 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:19.000 defense was they played winning football. But with that being 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.840 set on the other side of the coin, I don't 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:25.439 think they played to their standards. You can't put this 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:30.480 one on the defense. When a special team's touchdown is allowed. 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.120 Darren Sproles goals eighty nine yards. That was a key 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.720 player early in the game. It makes a three point 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:41.120 game at ten nothing game. Uh. And then Ryan Fitzpatrick's 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:47.160 uh uh after Marshall's fumble, Actually that lateral, the fell lateral. Uh. 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:50.680 The Eagles cashed in with the short field. But by 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.319 and large I thought they played winning football and they 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.440 shut the door down on the Eagles in the second half. 0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:01.000 What was your take? They made some really good commondjustments. 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.199 The one area I would be worried is the matchups 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:08.560 with the linebackers and running back. Philadelphia had three chances 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.080 and only took advantage of one of those with the 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.120 running back coming out of the backfield on the wheel 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.920 route where uh, you know, he uh he was able 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.000 to beat the linebacker. But there are other two other 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.160 chances that could have easily been touchdown. You're right, Sprawls. 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.800 Sprawls and Matthews still could be running. You're right about 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.400 those two, and I'm gonna jump in right here. It's 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:31.280 it's to say, okay, what can you change up? Because 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.560 other teams obviously are gonna see that, and uh, you know, 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.840 throughout the National Football League you see a lot of 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.160 guys who were a quick, explosive backs. You try to 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.440 match them up against linebackers. What do the Jets have 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:47.079 to do? To counter that, Well, there's two things. Number One, 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:50.280 your linebackers have to be conscious of it, and uh, 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.440 you have to make sure as a linebacker you don't 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.840 get caught peeking into the backfield in man coverage, because 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.240 then you lose sight of your running back and you're 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.160 thinking he's just going to run a typical out route 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.760 or flat route. Uh, and he does and he turns 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.040 it up and that's that normally is what happens when 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.960 a linebacker gets caught peeking into the backfield. That's number one. 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.120 So you really got to work on that technique and 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:14.520 staying on top of that running back and not giving 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.720 giving the adds to him. Secondly, you've got to focus 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:19.600 on and you've got to be able to mix up 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.400 your coverage is to where uh you mix in some 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.640 zone coverages to where when the teams are trying to 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:27.040 call those routes on you, you're in the zone and 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.079 you've got cornerback there waiting on him and a linebacker 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.240 just covering the flat end zone and then that takes 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.840 away the wheel route as well. So it's a mixture 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:38.000 of of being multiple on defense with your coverages and 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:39.679 then when you do get the times that you are 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.000 a man the man on the running backs, especially with 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.600 an offset running back, you've really got to pay attention 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.680 to that wheel route. And you were talking about adjustments before, Chad, 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:49.960 what do you see from them as far as what 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:54.640 they changed up over the second thirty, Well, they they 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.679 really honed in on the running game. They did a 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:00.160 really good job at the first down production, making sure 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.559 Billy didn't have uh good first down production. And they 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:07.000 competed for every ball in the secondary calls and called 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:10.360 the turnover uh you know, and and gave the Jets 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:12.480 a short field with that. And they just seem a 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:14.920 little bit more aggressive, seemed more comfortable with their game 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:18.160 planning and trying to attack this Philly offense because even 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:21.720 though the Philly has been struggling, that offense is difficult 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:25.040 and you've got to make sure that your communication lines 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.640 are right and uh, that your first down and production 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.240 is really good to keep them from getting into a 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.640 rhythm and tempo, because once they get into a rhythm 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.320 and tempo, uh, no one in the league can stop 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.520 them with their no huddle uh if you're playing behind 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:40.439 the eight ball. So they did a good job of 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.720 staying ahead of the change of the defense, staying aggressive 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:47.000 and making those just slight adjustments to just stay aggressive 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:50.080 in the second half. Okay, brother, you were meticulous in 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:54.600 your preparation as a player. The Jets this week have 0:13:54.720 --> 0:14:00.120 a unique, uh work week. You got practices here are 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:04.400 in Florin Park Wednesday and Thursday, and then by the 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.960 time Friday hits, and people might be listening this on 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.720 Friday right now, the team will be in London and 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:14.000 they'll have a workout at a local rugby club and 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.520 then a Saturday walk through. How do you think that 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:21.200 would impact you as you go about and get ready 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:25.280 for the Dolphins. Well, you know, I had the opportunity 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.280 to play in Tokyo in a preseason game, so I 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.600 do understand the travel. As far as a work week, 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:33.240 I wouldn't understand that. My guests, my educated guests, would 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.880 be that you would really want to hone in on 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:40.120 these two practices as a player. Two far as the 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.960 physicality of it, your first and second down on Wednesday, 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:47.040 your third down on Thursday, hone in on those physically, 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.480 getting your reps, maybe even staying after practice will be 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:54.360 getting some extra reps physically, um to get those things 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.920 in your muscle memory. And really have that all that 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.720 Heye put in the barn, so to speak, by the 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:03.720 time you get on the plane. And then Friday and Saturday, 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.280 to me, it would be completely mental days. You're gonna 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.920 have to rely on your mental preparation with your red 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.680 zone preparations, show the alreadist preparation, and then Saturday you 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:15.080 can pull it all together and kind of review mentally. 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.880 But as far as physically for Friday and Saturday, I 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.640 wouldn't think much of it. I would be trying to 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.880 make sure I got used to the time schedule of that. 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:26.360 My my internal clock was okay. So then when Sunday 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.760 rolls around, I'm ready to play a football game. You're 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.920 a busy guy. You always keep a loaded schedule. Would 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:33.480 you be able to sleep on a plane if you 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.920 were a player, if you just finished our practice Thursday, 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:38.760 you had dinner on the plane and then you know, 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.680 you gotta you know, six hours ahead. It's basically like 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:45.960 going to Seattle. Well, you would be able to sleep some, 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.440 but it wouldn't be your normal sleep, so it would 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:50.840 be more like, uh, you know, one and a half 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:54.000 hour naps or something like that for the most part. 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.680 And as far as your comfortability is concerned, and then 0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:00.320 you're gonna try to catch up on on Friday Saturday, 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.160 ain't be ready to rock and roll on Sunday. I 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:05.000 would imagine that's what I would try to do. Your 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:11.440 thoughts on National Football League possibly having a full time 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:15.920 team in London, England? What do you think? I'm not 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:19.640 a huge fan of it. I understand our international presence. 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.160 I love our international presence. I think more and more 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:25.120 people are growing to love the game of football. I 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:27.960 kind of like the format as it is. I just 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.760 don't know if if that would be you know, the 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:34.560 right thing to do for the football, uh, for the 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:37.720 NFL and for the game of football, but also for 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:39.840 the players. I think it Uh, you know, there could 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.560 be a distinct advantage or disadvantaged one way or the 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.840 other if you had a full time team um overseas. 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.000 So I like the International series as it is. I 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:52.240 think it really drums up a lot of support internationally 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:56.320 and takes the game globally. And uh, it's it's a 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.720 great series the way that it is. Okay, so Papa 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.960 writes in a s cha does Miami have a home 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.240 is their home field advantage negated by the fact that 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:08.240 both teams have to make the trip over there. So 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.840 there's a couple of things that I want to add 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:15.280 before you answer that question. Is the Jets have won 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.280 their last two matchups down in South Florida. And you 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:21.639 know this as a former player. You guys used to 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:25.080 have a ton of support in South Florida. You still 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:28.560 do to this day. And the other interesting thing is, 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:32.679 I gotta imagine London, the size of that city, and 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:36.080 how many New Yorkers travel and also live over there 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:39.359 and do business over there. This might be like a 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:44.080 Jets home game. It could very possibly be like that, 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:45.960 but it's still not going to be the same. I mean, 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:49.600 you're you're playing in a neutral site. Uh technically for 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.280 for both teams and for the players. You know, you 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:57.200 may hear more Jets um crowd noise and you hear 0:17:57.240 --> 0:17:59.920 Dolphins crowd noise, but at the same time, you still 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.480 the neutral site. It's a different arena. You're not playing 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:05.280 in Miami, You're not playing in New York, and so 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:07.639 it's different. Now. The one thing that the Dolphins have 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:11.080 with for them is that they played in London last year, 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.520 so they have the routine. They won their last year 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.200 and and so they understand the drill and the schedule, 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.399 which will be a little bit different for the Jets. 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.600 But um, you know, I think this is a big 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.480 game for Miami. I think this is a team that's struggling, 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:28.440 that sitting there at one and two trying to figure out, 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:31.159 you know, what's going on with our team. So I 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:34.280 think they'll be ready to play because they understand how 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:36.840 important it is for them. I like this question. Uh, 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:39.680 this is from the office pool. I ask, and he 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:43.640 split loyalty for you, what goes through your mind when 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:48.199 the Jets and Dolphins are playing nowadays? Well, you know, 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:51.920 I've always said that I have really appreciate both organizations. 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:56.120 I think both organizations served me well and treating me well, 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:59.200 and I have great respect for both organizations as well 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:02.760 as the people that I have men in both organizations. So, um, 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:04.720 I just leave it right down the middle, to be 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.240 honest with you. And I know some people think that's 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:10.119 wishy washy, but that's the truth because I I just 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:13.359 had great experiences and and my time with the Jets 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:15.199 was a great experience, and then when I went to 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.840 the Dolphins, that was the right time to be able 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:21.560 to move on and to experience something different and and 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:26.320 uh so I don't root for one or the other. Um, 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.000 you know, when it comes to to that game, I 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:32.280 really focus on the players that I played with and 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:34.359 that I know that are still there and I watched 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:37.120 them and and I root for them in their own 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:41.439 individual performances. But you know, as far as team versus team, 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:45.040 I mean, you know, I can't. Uh. I enjoyed playing 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.639 for both teams. What stands out to you about the 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:51.440 British off first and Nick manguald, David Harris, guys who 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:54.320 you saw his young pups and they're still going and 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:58.879 they're still playing at high levels. Well, it's exciting to 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.560 see young play. It is that I was exposed to 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:05.600 as a veteran and hopefully you know, shed some knowledge 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:08.159 and wisdom to them while I was around them. And 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:11.320 to see their longevity in the league. I think anytime 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:14.160 you play with the player, you see a drafted come 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:16.480 in when you're with the team, you want to see 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:19.240 his longevity because that means that he's number one minute 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:22.000 able to stay healthy, he's been able to stay productive, 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:25.879 and they've become a really good professional football player. And 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:30.320 that's always positive. And I love to see those stories. Yeah, 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:33.720 what are your early memories of Mangolds a center. I 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:36.520 know I Fitzpatrick laws working with them, and that's about 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.560 a common refrain from for all the quarterbacks have come 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:42.480 up because you made the transition, I believe from a 0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:44.800 while you played with for a number of years and 0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:48.919 then you started working with Mangold. Well what First of all, 0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:52.600 when Nick was drafted, we had uh signed Trade Teague 0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:55.439 as a free agent from Buffalo, a really good center, 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:59.080 and Nick was drafted along with the British. All people 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:01.480 fired up about the British Shaw coming in and being 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:04.720 a staple of tackle UH and Nick was going to 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:07.520 be the backup center. And then Trade t gets hurt 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:10.600 and uh O t a s and is out for 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:13.320 the year, and Nick has to go right in and 0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:16.280 from day one training camp he is the starting center. 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:19.640 And I don't think I'll probably only been around two 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:25.119 players as rookies on the offensive line that came in 0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:29.440 and it was relatively seamless. Number one would be Nick Mangold. 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:31.480 The second with be Jake Long when I played with 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:35.399 him in Miami. Uh Nick, I mean, especially as a 0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:37.680 center to be able to come in as a rookie 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:41.240 and do what he did, and uh, we had no 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:45.440 issues from a protection standpoint. Our communication was solid from 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:48.240 the beginning. And that's a testament to him with his 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:51.399 two degrees and how he thinks in his brain power 0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:55.120 and then be able to match that with his physicality. Uh. Man, 0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:57.040
