00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: M M M m M h vibe from Vetter Built

2
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: Sports and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel. It's

3
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: Inside the Jets, brought to you by e Y Building

4
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: a Better Working World and by M and T Bank,

5
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: the official community bank of your New York Jets. Here's

6
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 1: Ery Callet and Lean Welcome to Inside. The Jets were

7
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: broadcasting live from a pack Vanderbilt Sports and Inspiras inside

8
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel. We will later be joined

9
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: by Jets outside linebacker Brandon Copeland, Eric Allen alongside Eric Coleman. Well,

10
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: the Jets stepped up in class against the New England Patriots,

11
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: and the Pets handed it to him a thirty three

12
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: to nothing. I'm onnding football, I mean, I mean disappointing

13
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: is a is an understatement for that game. Uh, just

14
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: a fantastic showing by the Patriots. They did a great

15
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: job of running their offense. Defensively, you know, the top

16
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: defense in the league really showed the world why they

17
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: are the top defense. And uh, and the Jets couldn't respond.

18
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: They could never bounce back. Uh. Sam Donald couldn't get

19
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: into a groove, throwing four interceptions, running the ball and

20
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: protecting the quarterback was an issue. Uh, the Jets had

21
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: a problem with it yesterday. Yeah, so many of high

22
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: hopes after the Jets won their first victory of the season.

23
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: I mean that took home their first victory of the

24
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: season against the Dallas Cowboys the week before. Sam Donald

25
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: throwing for three d thirty eight yards and two touchdowns

26
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: in that game, getting seven different receivers the football, Robbie

27
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: Anderson five catches on hundred twenty five yards, Jamison Crowder

28
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: six catches nine yards, and Damarius Thomas getting into the

29
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: mix as well. But Donald was unable to duplicate that

30
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: rhythm as we saw it constantly against the Patriots. They

31
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: were sending pressure and the Jets were allowing free runners

32
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: and Donald was never able to get comfortable in that pocket. Yeah,

33
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean New England did a great job of mixing

34
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: up their pressures yesterday. Uh. You know, they're bringing safeties,

35
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: bringing linebackers, dropping guys back into coverage. You know, it

36
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: reminded me back in uh in oh six when we

37
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: played the Patriots. Now, there was a lot of defenses

38
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: where we would have eleven men on the line of

39
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: scrimmage and whether we dropped back into zone or brought pressure.

40
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 1: It confused Tom Brady and that's difficult against a young

41
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: offensive line to pick up In New Orleans. Excuse me,

42
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: New England found Uh, it's something wrong with the Jets

43
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: offensive line in their protection and they just kept dialing

44
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: it up until they got to fix and unfortunately for

45
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: the Jets, they never fixed it. Uh. Inside the Jets

46
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: is presented by e Y Building a Better Working World,

47
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: Eric Eric Ellen and Eric Coleman here at Vanderbilt Sports

48
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: and Spirits. Donald career high five turnovers, four interceptions, Three

49
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: of them came in Patriots territory. Again, what is the

50
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: answer when a team like New England is going to

51
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: pressure you all day? Like Adam Gates said, no surprises.

52
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: We knew they were coming. And a lot of times

53
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: covers zero. You're used to be a defensive back in

54
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: the National Football League. What does cover zero mean offensively?

55
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: And what is the counter? Well, cover zero means there's

56
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: no help. There's man man across the board. Everyone else

57
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: who's not in coverage is blitzing. And so even if

58
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: your man is say your man is a running back

59
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: and I'm the linebacker, my man is a running back.

60
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: He blocks, I'm adding in the blitz, so everyone's coming there.

61
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: It's a tough way to defend because you're always bringing

62
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 1: one more than they can block, and that that unblocked person.

63
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: The responsibility falls on the quarterback to get the ball

64
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: out quick and to stop that you have to use

65
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: a lot of short screens. You have to do a

66
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: lot of quick passes. Uh, you know, try to run

67
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: some draws to get past the blitz because there is

68
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: no second level when they blitz everyone. So, uh, you know,

69
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: the Jets were really never able to find the answer,

70
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: find the solution for that blitz, and unfortunately, you know,

71
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: it forced Sam Donald to make some throws that he

72
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: would that are out of his character. Yeah, and then

73
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: you hear offensive coordinators and play callers a lot of

74
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: times say identifying the mic points, especially against blitz, is

75
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: because setting up all your protections. So what does that

76
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,559
Speaker 1: What does the quarterback have to do when he gets

77
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: to the line to tell his lineman. Yeah, well, I

78
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: mean it's tough. You know, you have to that. That's

79
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: where your film study comes in. That's where the tendencies

80
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: of the other team come in. Uh, you know, identifying

81
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: that Mike is is identifying the center of the blitz

82
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: and telling your offensive line which way are we going

83
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: to slide? And the Patriots understand all these rules, and

84
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: so they what they would do is line up some

85
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: guys on on on offensive lineman. They would blitz him

86
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: for a couple of steps and then drop them back

87
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: into coverage. And that just caused all kind of confusion

88
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: for the offensive line. That's how you get the free runners,

89
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: because all of a sudden, I got this guy. He

90
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: steps up a couple of steps and then he leaves.

91
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: All right, now he's not blitzing. Someone else's blitzing and overloading,

92
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: and now you have a free runner. The Patriots are

93
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: masters at breaking tendencies, aren't they. Yeah, they are every week.

94
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: They are a chameleon. They change who they are depending

95
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: on the opponent they do. They do a great job,

96
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: you know, offensively, they do that. Especially. They're gonna they're

97
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: gonna look at your film, you know, your last four games,

98
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: and see how you got beat What plays did you

99
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: get beat on? Touchdowns are big plays, and they're gonna

100
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: install those plays into their offense. And so, uh, it

101
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: makes it tough to prepare for. And what you have

102
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: to do is go over all the mistakes you made

103
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: and correct them and talk through them and understand that

104
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: there has to be communication before the play or you're

105
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: gonna get burned. Uh. You know, I always tell the

106
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: story back, and I want to say it was oh

107
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: seven we played the Patriots. They played the week before

108
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: they played the Minnesota Vikings. They came out in five

109
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: wide receivers and threw the ball fifty two times. And

110
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: at that time, you know, in two thousand and seven,

111
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: that was unheard of, you know, for them to throw

112
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: the ball that many times. So the whole week, we

113
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: were activating defensive backs, we were putting in dime packages,

114
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: just getting ready for extra coverage. What did they do

115
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: on Monday Night football? They came out in three tight ends,

116
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: two running backs, and ran the ball for the first

117
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: two drives and ran it right down our throat. Because

118
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: we weren't prepared to stop the run. We were we

119
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: were preparing just to stop the pass. It was a

120
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: snowball effect. And we're off to Brandon Copeland about that

121
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: here in our next segment. But the Patriots came out,

122
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: they had the ball for about nine minutes. It seemed

123
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: like they had the ball for the entire first quarter,

124
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: but the Jets had opportunities get off the field, but

125
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots kept on converting early on third down. I

126
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: think at one point early a second quarter there are

127
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: five is seven on third down and one on one

128
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: on fourth down. Yeah, I mean, and that has to

129
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: be frustrating for your defense, and you know, as a team.

130
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure listen, they got embarrassed. This was not the

131
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: performance that they wanted to put out there on the

132
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: field in front of the world. But when you go

133
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: back and look at the film, i mean, Sam Donald

134
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: having three turnovers in the red zone, well, at least

135
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: you got down to the red zone. You get rid

136
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: of those and and maybe convert those touchdowns. It's a

137
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: different ball game. You look at defense, you get off

138
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: the field on third down, you prevent some of those

139
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: long drives. You know, you the breakdowns and coverage get

140
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: you off the field and get your offense another opportunity.

141
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: So there's as bad as it was, there's always something,

142
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: there's always something you can take out of that film

143
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: and improve on. So I'm sure there's a lot of

144
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: coaching going on right now. Can we stop making declarations

145
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: about Sam Donald every time the guy picks up the

146
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: football because yes, he was fantastic against the Dallas Cowboys,

147
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: but that doesn't automatically mean that he's going to Canton

148
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: and gonna join Kevin mcwai in the Hall of Fame.

149
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: Equally said on the other side of the spectrum, you

150
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: can't be oh, we gotta write this kid off because

151
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: they had five turnovers against the Patriots and he was

152
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: out of sorts. Now you can't do that, you know,

153
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: and that you in the NFL. You know, I used

154
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: to have coaches tell me you have to stay even kill,

155
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: stay at the same page because you're never as good

156
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: as they say you are, and you're never as bad

157
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: as they say you are, So you have to What

158
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: you have to do is is evaluate yourself. Take the

159
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: same approach every week, continue to chop wood and grind

160
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: to get better and improve on your mistakes, because that's

161
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: all you can really control is your play. And it's

162
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: a what have you done for me lately? Lead? Everyone

163
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: forgets they have am me about what happened in the past.

164
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: All they care about is what you did on Sunday,

165
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: and that's all that matters. I know, you didn't play

166
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: the position you were trying to mess with the quarterback

167
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: during your heyday. But how much of a challenge is

168
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: this for Adam Gaze right now? Because Sam Donald is

169
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: a wonderful athlete and he can make all the throws

170
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: on the football field. With that being said, at times

171
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: his athleticism will take over and maybe he'll try to

172
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: make a throw that just isn't there no matter what

173
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: his physical capabilities are. His feet might not be set

174
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: or he's throwing off the back foot. Well, what we

175
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: all have to understand is that this was Sam donald

176
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: sixteen game starting as a quarterback, and he still has

177
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: a lot of room to grow. I mean, he's he's

178
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: he's a young player and this is a great teaching

179
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: moment right now? Is hard of a pill? Is this?

180
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: This game is a swallow? Sam has to go back

181
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: and look watch this film. You know it's gonna be

182
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tortured saying are watching yourself make these mistakes,

183
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: But you have to watch the film and understand why

184
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: you made these mistakes. What did they do to attack you?

185
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: Because other teams is a copycat league, You're gonna see

186
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: these same blitzeres, But can you see these same coverage

187
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: as again, but stand on that point, can you grow

188
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: off of this because you're not gonna see another defense

189
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: like this probably over the final ten games in New

190
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: England Attacksia in so many different ways. Like when you're

191
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville this week, you know they're probably gonna stick

192
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: to their fore man front play coverage in the back. Yeah.

193
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: But but what you do is you go back to

194
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: the values. You go back to the fundamentals. Every play

195
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: has to be communicated, the protection has to be communicated.

196
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: You have to you know, as a quarterback, you have

197
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: to have your feet set if you want to deliver

198
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: the ball the right way. And Sam knows that, you know,

199
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: these are things that that have got him to this level.

200
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: You have to go back to your fundamentals and rely

201
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: on those because those are the things that will carry

202
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: you through all the adversity and through the tough times.

203
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: And the whole team has to really look at them,

204
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: look themselves in the mirror and understand we have to

205
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: forget about this game. We have to learn from it.

206
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: But we have another opponent coming up. We have a

207
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: few games that we can get some things going and

208
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: right the ship. Yeah, and make no mistake, the Jets

209
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: gave an honest assessment of what happened Monday night, the

210
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: shutout lost in New England. Patriots Adam Gates was the

211
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: first one who addressed the media and he said we

212
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: were brutal and that was across the board, and he

213
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: included himself in that. Next Yeah. I mean, you know,

214
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: like my good friend and friend Ray Lucas always says,

215
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, you can't point the finger in these these situations.

216
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: You gotta point the thumb, and you have to go

217
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: back and evaluate what could I have done better? And

218
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: every man in that locker room has to go back

219
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: and ask, you know, was my preparation right? You know,

220
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: was my play right? Did I execute? Did I do

221
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: what the coaches asked me to do? And the coaches

222
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: have to do the same thing. So this is a

223
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: really a time for the whole team, the whole organization

224
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: to look themselves in the mirror and ask what can

225
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: I do better than I did last week? And I

226
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 1: know people are looking at it and saying one in

227
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: five playoffs way out of reach. Things like that. You

228
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: don't think about that internally. You have to think about

229
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: how you can get better each day and just get

230
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: a victory and hopefully it's then this week against Jacksonville. Absolutely.

231
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there's gotta be one game at a time,

232
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: and and it's easy to look at the schedule. I mean,

233
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: you have Jacksonville coming up, you have Miami. You know,

234
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: you have a couple of games that, oh, you know what,

235
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: we can win these games. But you can't do that.

236
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: You have to take a one game, a game at

237
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: a time, one play at a time, and continue just

238
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: to trying to get better each play each game, because

239
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: that's the only way that you're gonna get wins. All right,

240
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna come right back with Brandon Copeland. You are

Speaker 1: Your Tuesday is generally the off day for players and

254
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But guys are you know, obviously it's

255
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: a short week. Guys are in, you know, working on

256
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: their bodies, lifting, preparing, getting studying film, doing what you

257
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: do as a pro. Take us inside the locker room

258
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: after the defeat to the Patriots. Um, Adam Gaze's message

259
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: to you guys and then the message among yourself. Yeah,

260
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, coming in clearly, you know,

261
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: as I told, somebody knowing expects anything like that. So

262
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 1: you know, the the the first thing from a message standpoint,

263
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, is is you know the season is not over.

264
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: I mean I know that that's not what people want

265
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: to hear. But you know you can either dwell in it,

266
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: get your head down, be disgusted with yourself and you

267
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: should be right like you you you we definitely should be. Um,

268
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: we got kicked in the face yesterday and no, you know,

269
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: not gonna hide from it. However, if you weren't disgusted

270
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: with yourself as a competitor, that you need to get

271
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: out of the locker room. Right. Other than that, we

272
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: got to move forward. Right. There's we played the Jacksonville

273
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: Jaguars this week. They don't care what happened Monday on Sunday.

274
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: Guess what, I won't care what happened Monday, you know.

275
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: So it's about approaching this next day. One of the

276
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: things my grandfather used to say is, you know, he

277
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: always talked about life and my heads above ground. I

278
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: got a chance, right, So I wake up this morning,

279
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: I'm smiling, I'm happy. I look at my beautiful baby

280
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: boy in his eyes, and guess what I need to

281
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: be the pro that I need to be today. So, Brandon,

282
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, going back and watching the film or even

283
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: thinking about what happened last night, what are some of

284
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: the teaching moments for the defense? You know, obviously getting

285
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: off the field on third down there were some opportunities.

286
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: What other things could you learn as a defense? Yeah,

287
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: I mean I think first and foremost, like you said,

288
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: get off the field on third down. You know, extremely

289
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: long drives that that hurt us um and took a

290
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: toll on us by the end of the game, right, like,

291
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: you know, you let these teams, You let Tom Brady

292
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: have a twelve four team play drive, um and continue

293
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: to convert and convert and convert. We as a defense

294
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: can't let that happen, right, um, take take everything else

295
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: out of play, right, It doesn't matter what what situation

296
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: we're in, we can't let that happen. And then also,

297
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, we we pride ourselves on if there's sudden change.

298
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: You know, if a team is in the red zone,

299
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: we gotta make him kick field goes right. I don't care.

300
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: You know. One of the things my college coach used

301
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: to always say is like, I don't care if you

302
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: line the football up right there in the pond in

303
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: the school river that was you know in Philadelphia. You know,

304
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: put the football down unless play. So as a defense,

305
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter where the ball is, we have to

306
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: do a job, a better job of getting them off

307
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: the field. You guys gotta take care of your on

308
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: side of the ball. And this week it is the Jaguars.

309
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: But on the other side of the ball, a lot

310
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: of attention paid to the quarterback and that's always going

311
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: to be the case. In the National Football League. Sam

312
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: Darnald was great against the Cowboys, experience a lot of

313
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: struggles against the Patriots. Knowing him as you do, having

314
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: that intimate knowledge of being in the locker room every day,

315
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: how do you anticipate will respond to this adversity? Yeah,

316
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: I think that that's. Uh. The great thing about having

317
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: a mentor like Josh McCown last year is now he

318
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: knows how to attach, how to attack this process. Right. Um.

319
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: The great thing about Sam is he doesn't really pay

320
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: too much attention to outside North's right, because you know,

321
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: you you have people on him and monitoring him at

322
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: all times. So like last week people are praising him, right,

323
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: and now this week people are are are shaming him right.

324
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: Good thing he doesn't pay attention to it. He just

325
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: goes to work and he's the same person, same players,

326
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: same same preparation wise weekend and week out until um,

327
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: you know, we reset, we reset. We believe in him,

328
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: He believes in him, and you know, I'm excited to

329
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: see him bounce back this weekend. So after you know,

330
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: obviously when you come back to practice tomorrow, it's onto Jacksonville.

331
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: You know you're playing against a young quarterback and Gardner Minshew,

332
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: who's you know, he's an athletic. He's kind of a

333
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: gun slinger as a pass rusher. What is it? What

334
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: is it like going against an athletic quarterback who can

335
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: get out of the pocket and break the pocket with

336
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: his lyrics. Yeah, you have to be careful in your rush.

337
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: You know, you can't get too high above him, and

338
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: because as you get too high and you get out

339
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: of your lane, that's when you create running lanes for him.

340
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: And I was watching film on him today and you

341
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: know that that's exactly what what the defense did against him,

342
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: and he literally broke off a run for about forty

343
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: some yards um and slid down untouched, right through the

344
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: middle of the defense. So uh, you know you have

345
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: to be careful in your rush. But you also, with

346
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: that being said, it's obviously moron, but you you can't

347
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,239
Speaker 1: be too afraid where you end up stalling and not

348
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: end up putting any pressure on him because you're just

349
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: playing pity pad with the offensive lineman trying to keep

350
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: him in front of you. So um. The thing about

351
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: the scrambling quarterback too, is sometimes they're so athletic and

352
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: and so um able body to get themselves out of

353
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: sticky situations, and sometimes they'll run right into you. So

354
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 1: you know, you, you you, you want to put him

355
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: in positions where he's feeling pressure from all different angles

356
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: and he's starting to try to move and and that's

357
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: when we can take advantage and hopefully get that ball out.

358
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: But I don't know if you know this, but Eric

359
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: Coleman went to a Washington state, so of course he

360
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: had to get that washed in state quarterback. In the

361
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: mix here early during our interview, I think this game

362
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: is gonna be played in the phone booth. Leonard four

363
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: net seven fifteen yards, number two leading Russian in the

364
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: National Football League, averaging five yards it carry, has five

365
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: carries a twenty plus yards, three carries a forty plus yards.

366
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: He looks more explosive than aver Cope. But you guys,

367
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: I really stopped in the well run quite well the

368
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: Patriots for everything they did to you offensively two point

369
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: two yards per carry. I know Michelle got an end

370
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: zone three touchdowns on the ground, and you guys aren't

371
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: gonna like that. But also, you guys are number two

372
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: in the National Football League in terms of yards per

373
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: carry at three point three. Yeah, I mean it's I'm

374
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm very much looking forward to the battle. Uh it's

375
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 1: old school football so to speak. So, um, it's going

376
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: to be one of those games where you're gonna you know,

377
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna make sure you chinche dress buffalo, you're ready

378
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: to go. You're gonna make sure you stay in low

379
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: all week and keeping the right leverage. And when you

380
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: do get a chance to tackle, you better bring your

381
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: pads and and run your feet because uh, if for

382
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: Nett gets a chance to take your face off, he

383
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: will right. Um, I'm very much looking forward to it.

384
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: But again, by stopping the run, we need to be

385
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: able to uh put offenses in those third long situations

386
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: and then that's when we really need to attack. And

387
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: that's what we'll be working on all week. And and

388
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: you know, we all we all have things we can improve,

389
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: and then that's what we'll be working on. This is

390
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 1: one of those games you know, as a defender, as

391
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: a safety, that you used to look forward to. You know,

392
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 1: you know that there's a running back. You're gonna you're

393
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of attempts. You're gonna have to

394
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: stop that run. You're gonna strap up your chince trap

395
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: a little tighter, put some more air in your helmet

396
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: and uh, and it was gonna be a fun game

397
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: because I knew it was gonna be physical. But how

398
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: do you I mean what what what lessons? How? How

399
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: do you how do you continue uh to to stop

400
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: the run? How do you continue to be effective when

401
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: you know you gave up place in the past game?

402
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: Is it still like a you know, you put it

403
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: on the back burner and practice or is it still

404
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: emphasis on stopping the run? And then we have to

405
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: figure out some things with the past game? No, I

406
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: think you you you have to emphasize stopping the run

407
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: first and foremost, because if you don't do that, then

408
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: you you're setting yourself up for a long long I mean,

409
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: yesterday was long. I'll be honest with you, it was

410
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: a long night. However, if you can't stop the run,

411
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 1: then you know you're literally getting man handled out there,

412
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: pushed around and all of that type of stuff. And

413
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: and that's a very very disheartened day at the office. So, uh,

414
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 1: if you once you stop the run, you you emphasize that,

415
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: will emphasize that as we always do. Once you stop

416
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: the run, now you can make an offensive one dimensional

417
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: and then you know what's coming, right, We just have

418
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: to do a better job of stopping what we know

419
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: is coming right, limited penalties, uh, keeping people in front

420
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: of us, all of this type of stuff, and also

421
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: getting the quarterback down right. Like, we have things we

422
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: need to work on as a defense, and and again

423
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: even all defenses, all offenses, we all have things we

424
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: still need to work on. This. It's early in the season,

425
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: his second quarter of the season. Um, but yeah, to

426
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: that point, where is the pass rush right now? Getting

427
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: yourself back, You're getting your feet underneath you right now,

428
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: your reps are continuing to increase. That was your second

429
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: game back. George Jenkins missed a few games there early

430
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: this season, so you're getting healthier on the defensive side

431
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: of the ball. Brady is unique. He's perhaps the greatest

432
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: of all time. The Patriots do such a good job

433
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: of keeping everything outside and manipulates that pocket, which just

434
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: a little small steps to get that ball off. But

435
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 1: I know it probably the rush wasn't to where you

436
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: guys would want it against the Patriots. Where do you

437
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: think overall it is and what are you looking forward

438
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: to where it's gonna go in terms of Jacksonville, Miami

439
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 1: and um, yeah, I think one of the things that

440
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: are One of the things that is not taken into

441
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: account when people talk about rush is how quickly the

442
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are getting the ball out of the games, right, Um,

443
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: And I think we've we've broken down some of the

444
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: the games that we've played, and I haven't broken down

445
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: last night's game or anything like that, but like out

446
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: of say, I'm just throwing out an arbitrary number out

447
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: of forty passes. Sometimes it's literally like twenty nine and

448
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: those passes are out at one point nine seconds. I

449
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: think there was a stat prior to the last night's

450
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: game actually that opposing quarterbacks we're getting the ball out

451
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: quicker against the Jets than any team in the National

452
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: Football And I think they know one. They know uh,

453
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: they know us are heart of our our defense, Greg Williams,

454
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,959
Speaker 1: DE coordinator. We're bringing pressure so that they're being coached

455
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: on this week. Hey, let's get the ball out, right,

456
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: but at one point nine seconds, I mean it's hard

457
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: to get from here to here unblocked in one point

458
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: nine seconds, right you know? So, um, the one that

459
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: needs to be taken into account a bit more. However,

460
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: you know, as I tell the defense, as we tell

461
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: the defense, Hey, at the end of the day. If

462
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,879

486
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: in the mix two games, and how does the body feel.

487
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: How's it all coming back to you in terms of

488
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: muscle memory and also getting back in the mix. Yeah,

489
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: it feels good, man, it feels feels really good. I think, uh,

490
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: first and foremost getting being out of the locker room

491
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: and coming back in. You you missed the brotherhood and

492
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: the camaraderie of the guys, the jokes, the laughter, the

493
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 1: preparing and all of that type of stuff. So um,

494
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: coming back in. Um, you know, I'm I'm I'm enjoying myself.

495
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying every single moment of it, you know, the good,

496
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: the bad, the Cowboys wins and the Patriots losses. I

497
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: mean it's you enjoy the process, so to speak. A

498
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: bit more so, Um, my body is feeling good. Obviously

499
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: a little banged up after yesterday, but that's part of

500
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: the process. My legs are fresher than than most guys

501
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: on the field right now. So so so can I

502
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: ask what were you doing? You know, obviously it was torture,

503
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: you know, watching your teammates go out there and in

504
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 1: battle without you. But what kind of things were you

505
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: doing for your body mentally? And you know, I know

506
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: that you do a lot of stuff, you know off

507
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: the field with business. What were you doing to keep

508
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: yourself in shape? And yeah, well, for first and Foremalt

509
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: I actually broke my wrists. Uh, so I had to

510
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: take the first I had six weeks of time to

511
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: to collect myself and get prepared for the comeback, so

512
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: to speak. In the first three weeks, I actually had

513
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: two pins hanging outside of my wrist. So they said

514
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: you you shouldn't what because it could get infected. Now,

515
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: me being a hard hitted individual, I am. I still

516
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: tried to find a way to run late at night

517
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: and stuff like that when it was cooler out and

518
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: all that type of stuff. But just keeping my wind up.

519
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: And then as soon as the cast came off, as

520
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: soon as they pulled the pins out, it was I

521
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: went to Florida. I was just training, training, training, my

522
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: tail off. I'm running, working, doing football drills, d be

523
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: working all of that type of stuff, so that when

524
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: I did come back, Um, you know, I wouldn't miss

525
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: a beat. And I think you know, I would literally

526
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: go out on the field in Florida and I'm walking

527
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: through calls and I'm literally acting as if I'm just

528
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: seeing a play action from Tom Brady or whatever I

529
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: am I busting out what am I looking at were

530
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: in my eyes, so um it, to be quite honest,

531
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: when I came back, I think the coaches might were

532
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: a bit surprised that the type of shape I was in,

533
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: and then also how I just came back and ready

534
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: to go. For those the folks who don't know you

535
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,479
Speaker 1: were suspended the first four games this season, can you

536
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: explain why you were suspect and all show how that

537
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: impacted you personally and what steps you're taking now, because

538
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: obviously it's something that you never envisioned could ever happen

539
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: to you career. Yeah, so I was suspending for a

540
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: performance enhancing drug violation. Um again, you see it across

541
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: the ticker, you see it across ESPN, and you're just like,

542
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this dude's been taking steroids for all

543
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: these years, and and literally, uh, in early June, late May,

544
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: I got a letter from the NFL saying I failed

545
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: a drug chest and I'm literally in my house, just

546
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: to be quite honest with you, just cursing, screaming curse

547
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: words like what the this has to be a mistake.

548
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: And so I literally at that point in time, I

549
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: took every supplement I was taken. I sent it off

550
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: to a science laboratory. It cost me seven five dollars

551
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: per supplement, and they found the supplement that had the

552
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: band substance in it. Now on this supplement that nothing

553
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: on the label that that uh show this mand substance,

554
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: and substance actually isn't even in like doctors can't prescribe

555
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: it or anything like that. So there's actually no way

556
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: you can get it in the States. And I before

557
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: I took the supplement, I literally did everything I could.

558
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: I checked it through the after the NFL gives us

559
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: the check supplements, everything was fine. I sent a picture

560
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: of the label to multiple nutritionists. They cleared me to

561
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: take it and all that type of stuff. But literally

562
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: it was simply a contaminated substance subplement Um, the day

563
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: after my suspension was announced, the company actually put on

564
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: their website that they were changing their manufacturing company and

565
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: all of that type of stuff. So currently we filed

566
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: a lawsuit against them. Uh a couple fridays ago or

567
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: maybe yeah, a couple of fridays ago at this point, Um,

568
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: we filed a lawsuit against them. And you know, for

569
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: me personally, Uh, there's a lot of things that I'm

570
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,959
Speaker 1: doing off the field and I think too not even

571
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: besides that, this is my seventh year in the NFL.

572
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: I've been practice squad. As I talked to the team

573
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: when I told them about them, listen first and foremost,

574
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: all of you know me, so you know I wouldn't

575
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: try anything like this. But second of all, let's just

576
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: think have some common sense for a second. This is

577
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: my seventh season in the NFL. I've been practice squad.

578
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: My second season in the NFL, I've played for two

579
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: weeks practice squad and got cut sat out the rest

580
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: of the season. Ever since then, I came and I've

581
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,239
Speaker 1: been active ever since then. I just came off my

582
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: best season of my career. I've had a bunch of sacks,

583
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm having my brand new baby, boy, I'm killing it

584
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: off the field and financial literacy, why now? But it

585
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: really just doesn't make sense right and and they literally

586
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: all just laugh. Right. So again, the people who know me,

587
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: they know my heart. No, I wouldn't try. However, the

588
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: way I look at things too, is everything happens for

589
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: a reason. God doesn't make mistakes. There's something that's a

590
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: bigger meaning purpose. Whether it was just to spend time.

591
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: My son is three months old, so whether it was

592
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: just to spend more time with him, I'm I'm comfortable

593
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: with that, right um. And whatever the higher meaning, bigger purpose,

594
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: maybe maybe someone else learning from my mistakes or whatever.

595
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: And I don't really see it as a mistake on

596
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: my end. However, you know what would to the young

597
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: guys coming up, because obviously you're gonna take supplements because

598
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: you guys got to maintain a certain regiment to get

599
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: your bodies ready to roll on Sundays. Yeah. Yeah. The

600
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: hardest thing, to be quite honest with you, is I

601
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: really can't give you any advice like that was one

602
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: of my things, you know, to towards the NFL is

603
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: like what would you tell me to do differently? Right?

604
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: And and if there's something that you would tell me

605
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: to do differently than I. You know, I take full responsibility.

606
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm still take full responsibility. It was in my bodies,

607
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: But like, what can you tell me to check it

608
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: through your nfl APP? I did that right. Check with nutritionists,

609
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: I did that right. Check the label all of that

610
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: type of stuff, I did that right. Like, so the

611
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: only thing you can really tell me is when I

612
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: pie this supplement for thirty forty bucks, send it to

613
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: the Science laboratory pace seven bucks on every single supplement

614
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: I take, and then you know, and then hope for

615

Speaker 1: I tell people I've been working for him since my

624
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: junior year of high school. I've literally envisioned my son

00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: and my family, and this is other people I'm working

626

Speaker 1: for and I'm working so hard for entirely from tirelessly

627
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,000

628
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: or smile or something like that, Okay, there's there's nothing

629
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: then you could do that can throw me off on

Speaker 1: women do right like one, y'all are amazing. I mean

633
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: it's literally ridiculous because I mean, my wife is superwoman

634
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: and and you know I literally couldn't be here right

635
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: now if she wasn't taking care of holding down the fort.

636
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: But you know, literally sitting in there from pregnancy the delivery.

637
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it. You know, I had risk surgery

638
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: and I've had peck surgery, risk surgery and knee surgery.

639
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: After all of those surgeries, don't talk to me, don't

640
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: touch me. I'm eating fast food and all this stuff.

641
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: You guys just had a surgery and now you have

642
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: to feed this this individual and get up and yeah,

643
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,719
Speaker 1: and I'm like, this is yeah, this is amazing. So

644
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: much respect, much respect all the women out there. Yeah yeah, yeah,

645
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: recently had a baby girl. Uh you know I have

646
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: I have three myself, so completely understand we're really happy

647
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 1: for you. So so trying to get some sleep in

648
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: a full night of sleep. So, you know, speaking on that,

649
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: speaking on having your child, your son, leaving the legacy.

650
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: There are some things you're doing outside of football, you know,

651
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: teaching financial literacy classes, uh, doing some business ventures on

652
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: your own. How important is that to set yourself up

653
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: outside of football. I think it's very very important. I

654
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: mean you you A lot of people think, you know,

655
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: it's planning B as plan B is so distracting from

656
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: plan A. And I'm like, one of the things that

657
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: I did in my camp last year, not this past year,

658
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 1: but the year before that is I took a big

659
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: went to Walmart and got a big brown paper like

660
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: literally from this wall to this wall, and I literally

661
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: took spray paint. I drew on it like a timeline

662
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: from zero to seventy nine and a half, which is

663
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: the average human lifespan, and I blacked out the years

664
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: from one to twenty four and a half. So I

665
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 1: blacked out those years, I said, and literally made two

666
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: campers hold it up and they're looking at this big

667
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: brown thing. They just see this little black piece in

668
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: the middle. I'm like, look, this is the average NFL

669
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: career right there, right, don't tell me you like, don't

670
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: tell me like like you don't care about anything else,

671
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: You're not interested in anything else. And I get it.

672
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 1: We're in a finite moment and we have to take

673
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: every advantage of it. But me and instead of going

674
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: home and playing video games, nothing wrong with it. I

675
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: go home and I'm my contractor sent me videos of

676
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 1: a house that we're renovating right now, right like my

677
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: my co professor sent me stuff about the class that

678
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: we just got a proof of this spring. We just

679
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: got bumped it up from thirty students to sixty students

680
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 1: in a new, new room and stuff like that. So again,

681
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: my my focus is just a bit different. These are

682
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: my interests, and you know, to be quite honest with you,

683
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: I've tried to turn them off, so to speak. Right,

684
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: I've learned. I learned how to compartmentalize them. Where I'm

685
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: on the football field. Clearly, last night, in the middle game,

686
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking about a flip, right However, Um, you know,

687
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: trying to turn it off is is harder than just

688
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: letting it flow and letting me So who were the

689
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: some of the people that who are some of your

690
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: mentors who taught you how to be interested in business

691
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: and learn about your financial literacy and and extend your

692
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: money and your and your value. And before you answer that,

693
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: I do just want to add that this guy is

694
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 1: the rarest of the rare. He went to Pennsylvania. Yes,

695
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: the Ivy League pen played there and he's teaching financial literacy.

696
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: So but go on, and you know he just asked

697
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: your cope about your mentors. Yeah, no, there's there's been

698
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of great mentor I've been blessed from that standpoint.

699
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: I think, Uh, some of the people that stick out

700
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: to me. Rob Sims, he's a former Detroit Lion I

701
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: played with, played with. Yeah, so Rob Sims, him, Calvin Johnson, Megatron. Um,

702
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: they've started a locker room consulting group out of Michigan.

703
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: But Rob was actually one of the first people to

704
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: take me under his wing from a real estate standpoint

705
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: and just drive me around and show me different things. Um,

706
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: Hello Ti Nada uh over Quinn to hear white head.

707
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: And I've just been fortunate to be in locker rooms.

708
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: I've been in locker rooms with not knuckleheads, but some

709
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 1: guys who are you know, they they want to be

710
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: young forever and and and do young things forever. But

711
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: I've also been in locker rooms where I've had guys

712
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: who I can look up to from football standpoint, preparation standpoint,

713
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: but also the next thing that I look at, to

714
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 1: be quite honest with you, family standpoint, the way they

715
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: treat their wives, the way they treat their children, things

716
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: that I can look up like, Okay, I remember being

717
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: in Detroit, you know, before I was married or anything

718
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: like that, and looking at some of these guys and like, wow,

719
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: like I want that, Like the way you respect your wife,

720
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: the way you do this, I want this right um.

721
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: And then the next step how they handle business off

722
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: the field and the things that they're doing, whether it's

723
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: investing in inventures or starting their own gyms or real

724
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: estate or whatever it may be. But I've been I've

725
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: just been blessed to be around the right people. And

726
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,600

740
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: segment with Brandon Copeland as a couple of weeks when

741
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: Steve McClendon, these guys are just so good, we got

744

Speaker 1: and it was great to hear all the positive things

745
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: Brandon Copeland has going on in his life and and

746
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: how he always puts the positive spin on everything, whether

747
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: it be the New England game or going through adversity.

748
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta keep that that positive attitude. You know.

749
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: He had an interesting thing to say in terms of football,

750
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks against the Jets are getting that ball out quick.

751
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: We we we always talk in terms of three seconds

752
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,439
Speaker 1: typically for a quarterback to release the football. A lot

753
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 1: of times when you're playing Tom Brady, he's not waiting

754
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: three seconds before that balls out. No, he's not. You know,

755
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: he's getting out quick to those running backs to tow Edelman,

756
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: to those to those short release valves. You know when

757
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: you're when you're bringing pressure and that has to be

758
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: frustrating as a pass rusher. You know, you could probably

759
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: you can literally line up and he can snap the

760
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: ball and get the ball off quicker with one blocking you.

761
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: Then then you could uh you know, as far as

762
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: defeating your man in front of you. So, um, you know,

763
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: you know who you're going against. You're playing against Greg

764
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: Williams defense. He's aggressive, he has a ton of talent

765
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: on the defensive line. That's the strength of his defense.

766
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 1: Gotta get it out quick. Okay, So give us a

767
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: scouting report on who they're playing this week, because it

768
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 1: is the Jacksonville Jaguars and their quarterback went to Washington State.

769
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: Gardner met you, Yeah, Gardner Minshew is uh you know,

770
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: he's you know, the first couple of weeks took the

771
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: league by storm. Uh, filling in for Nick Foles. He's

772
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 1: very confident young man. You know, he's not the biggest quarterback,

773
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: about six ft tall, very mobile. You know, he's not

774
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: on Lamar Jackson, but he can hurt you with his feet. Uh.

775
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: One of those quarterbacks that throws the ball with no conscience.

776
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: You know where he can throw. He'll throw a couple

777
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: of interceptions, but he'll make some great plays at the

778
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: same time. Accurate passer. He comes from the air raid

779
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: attack and uh, and it's gonna be important for the

780
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 1: Jets to get those big fellas up in front of

781
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,439
Speaker 1: him and get pressure and get the hands up knocked

782
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: down some passage. About right in the middle of the

783
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: National Football League in terms of sacks allowed, tied for

784
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: sixteen and it's not tied for sixteen with sixteen sacks allowed.

785
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: And it's not just as Brandon said about sacks, but

786
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 1: it is about disrupting the quarterback, getting off the field

787
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: on third down and also having those takeaways. You can

788
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: have a game get out of control like it did

789
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: against the Patriots when you turn the football over five times. Yeah,

790
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: you know it really you know it takes away possessions

791
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: from your offense. Uh. You know, also when you look

792
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: offensively not converting those red zone those red zone trips

793
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: in the points, I mean, those will kill you. You You know,

794
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, you have to score touchdowns. You know,

795
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: you have to keep them out when you when your

796
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: team those are those an interception or force or get

797
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: to turn over the defense. Doesn't matter where the ball was,

798
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: like Brandon Copeman said, doesn't matter if it'sident the late

799
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: in the street. You have to go out there and

800
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: play your defense and you have to get your team

801
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: off the field hold them to a field goal. And

802
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: so you know it works hand in hand. You know,

803
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: offense has to convert, defense has to keep him off

804
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: the board. Special teams has to in the ball in

805
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: the possession with the ball. But and that's the reason

806
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 1: I brought up Jacksonville sack total because their offensive line.

807
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: I don't think it's considered elite. I think they're playing

808
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: relatively well. But this team is based on Leonard four net.

809
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: If the Jets can contain him, hold him down, because

810
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna get his carry. So that means Leonard Fournett

811
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: is gonna get his yards. If you can keep him

812
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: the three yards to carry, not have those explosion runs.

813
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: Then you're gonna have opportunities to get after the quarterback

814
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: this weekend. Absolutely, you know, you stop that run at

815
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: the beginning of the drive, first and second down. Uh,

816
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: you know, you put the opposing offense into a third

817
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 1: down in long situation. That's when Greg Williams at his finest.

818
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 1: You know, that's when he's drawing up the blitz because Brady,

819
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 1: they're playing then they're not. They're playing a young quarterback

820
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 1: who hasn't seen this type of aggressive defense. And if

821
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: they're able to stop to run, you make them play

822
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: left handed, you make you force them to make Gardner

823
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: Minshew beat him. And the reason they've had success is

824
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 1: because running the football, you have to honor the run.

825
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: No one, no safety wants to see Leonard Fournette running

826
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: full speed because he's gonna put a hurting on you.

827
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: So you're gonna inch closer and closer, and now you

828
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: have to honor that play action. Now there's opportunities for

829
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: shots down the field. So it's gonna be important for

830
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 1: the Jets to stop the road at the front seven

831
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: and uh and make them have some third down in

832
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: long situation. Firstly, if you're Adam Gates and you're that

833
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: offensive coaching staff and you're in the lab, what kind

834
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 1: of game planner you're putting together. I'm looking at stats,

835
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 1: and the game is not just about stats alone. But

836
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: Jacksonville has spent very average in terms of rush defense

837
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 1: this year, tied for twenty one in the National Football League,

838
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: about a hundred seventeen yards per game. And while much

839
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: didn't work right for you offensively against the New England Patriots,

840
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 1: you know who looked good. Who had a season high

841
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,439
Speaker 1: in terms of yards in average per rush. The guy

842
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: we've been talking about, Levian Bell. Yeah, Levian Bell is

843
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: gonna be important to continue to feed him, to give

844
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: him opportunities and make plays. He is the best player

845
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: on the team. You know, he's the spark on offense. Uh,

846
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: He's a workhorse. He does it all, from catching the

847
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: ball to run into pass blocking. You have to feed

848
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: him and give him opportunities, you know. Just like it's

849
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: important for the Jets to stop to run defensively, offensively,

850
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: it's important for them to establish the run because that

851
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: takes some of the pressure off of Sam Donald and

852
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: it allows him opportunities to to to slow down that

853
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 1: defensive line so he can stop, sit back and react. Uh.

854
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: That's the cipher who's gonna be open to make those

855
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 1: accurate passes with his feet set. If the takeaway chart

856
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 1: is neutral at the end of Sunday, I don't even

857
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: have to go down to Jacksonville watch the game and

858
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: being the press box to tell you this. Give me

859
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: the numbers and tell me what Leonard for Nett has,

860
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 1: and tell me what Levian Bell has, and I'll give

861
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: you a winner. What do you think about that? You're right,

862
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,439
Speaker 1: You're right about that. These two running backs are gonna

863
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 1: dictate who wins his game. You know, is it to

864
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 1: be Leonard Fournette on the ground or is it gonna

865
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: be lebon doing both, you know, running the football, catching

866
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: the ball. Uh, They're they're gonna be the key matchup

867
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 1: this week. And it's gonna be exciting to see him.

868
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you one thing, the Jets better block

869
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: number Campbell. Oh. He's having a heck of a year.

870
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: You know, he's one of the older guys. He's been

871
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 1: the league forever, but he's continued to dominate and disrupt offenses.

872
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: And uh, and really a special count and they're getting

873
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: some production from that pass Russia out of Kentucky. That's

874
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Yeah, you know a lot of guys, a

875
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: lot of people, Jets fans, wanted the Jets to pick Josh. Yeah.

876
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: It's interesting because we'll be help to see Quentin Williams

877
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen on the field together. They won't be

878
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: playing against each other, but they'll obviously be facing the

879
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: respective offenses. Yeah, I mean, I know, I'm as every

880
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: Jets fan is. They're excited to see Quintin. You know,

881
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: he's been disruptive since he got back healthy. You know,

882
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: he's a he's a very aggressive player, quick strong. You know,

883
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 1: I saw him throw around some some Zack Martin against

884
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and there's a play where he just threw

885
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: like a rag doll. And It's like, I knew Quentin

886
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: was athletic, I knew he was quick. I didn't realize

887
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 1: how much how much force he had, how strong he

888
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: was as a player. So we'll have to see what

889
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: happens Sunday in Jacksonville. Eric Coleman and myself will be

890
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: back here at Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits next week. Thanks

891
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: for listening to inside the Jets
