No, here's Eric Allen and 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.160 Eric Coleman. Welcome to Inside the Jets. We're broadcasting live 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:05.000 for Bandabilt Sports and Spirits and the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel. 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.959 Eric Allen alongside Eric Coleman, our player guest segments, presented 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:12.400 by Evan t Back, the official Community bank of your 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.839 New York Jets. Yeah, you heard that right, because Jordan 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.720 Jenkins got in here. He was so anxious to get 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.360 on the show. He's bent and lead off. Jordan's guys 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.920 are undefeated in the season. That half a little two 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.959 game winning streak must feel nice. Uh, it definitely does. 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:30.560 And uh we just can't forget about all the work 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:32.840 we put in and get those wins. And it's sort 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:34.840 of like you got to keep the same twenty four 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.559 hour roll after a game. It's like after a lodge 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:38.959 you got twenty four hours to get rid of it, 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:40.560 and after win you want to get it out your 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:42.479 head so you can get focused on the next week. 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.240 So you know after obviously after a win, it's a 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:49.200 lot easier to get through the lumps and and get 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.840 through the film sessions. How was the film session, you know, 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.680 going through what you did at Washington? Oh, I mean 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:58.400 it was went pretty good, except you know, defensively, we 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:01.919 should have been more consistent, should have put him away 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:05.320 without allowing those uh last few points. But I mean 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:07.800 we saw what we did good, and we just have 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.320 to look at the We looked at the details about 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.720 some of the things that we um that were one 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:15.320 person might not have been doing the job, but everyone 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:16.720 knows made up for it, and just look at the 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.600 smaller details of what we have to do to uh 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.000 get better for the rest of the season. How frustrating 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.600 was it? You know, as outside linebacker, you're taking on 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.640 double teams, You're you're taking on the offensive lineman, you know, 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.920 throughout the game, being physical and you see a little dude, 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:34.880 Jamal Adams come through and get three sacks. How tough 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.919 was that? Got him going out? It's even worse for 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:43.240 me because there's a play I thunning inside the one, 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.680 beat the tackle, beat the guard, and I go to 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:48.920 reach out. Will it happened? I thought I just missed. 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.040 I looked back on the film, A p it pushed 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.520 me in the side, and as I'm going to tag 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.840 Haskets when he's when he's on the ground, I just 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.040 see three three come out of nowhere, and I'm like, man, 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.880 I can't believe. Literally, I lost out on a sack 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.919 by four inches. I was off in the press box 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.920 and I was wondering if they were gonna give both 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:13.080 of you guys a half there but no credit. Jamal 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:16.960 Adams has six sacks five sacks over the course of 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:21.480 the last two games. Already, those six sacks the most 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:25.440 by any Jets defensive back in franchise history, and the 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.200 three sacks in a single game the most by any 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:32.399 Jets defensive back in franchise history. Yeah, that's so, that's amazing. 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.400 Uh And honestly, if he keeps playing like that in 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.800 the next two weeks, he should most definitely get AFC 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.200 Defenso Player of the Month because I mean, he's playing 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.960 lights out football right now. How do you feel about that, Eric, 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.480 you played the safety position. I love seeing I love 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.560 seeing the safety you know come up in blitz is 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:49.840 you know being run supportant, being involved in the defense. 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.080 But you know, it really speaks to what Greg Williams 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.120 is doing. And yesterday, I don't know if it was 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:56.840 just me, but it seemed like you guys were doing 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.320 a lot more disguising. You know, you blitz a lot, 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.880 you know, from from a blitz front, but you also 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.800 dropped back into coverage quite a bit. It was at 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.680 the cage yesterday. Were you trying to confuse the young quarterback. Yeah. 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.280 We showed him at a lot of different looks were 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.720 it would be the same personnel, same groupings, but have 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.120 a different guy drop out. There's times we're me and 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.040 throw a Basha. We're lined up in the A gaps 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.559 so and uh acting like we're gonna run a twist 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.000 game because we ran out the previous week and we 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.039 both end up dropping like three or four times, and 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.440 they just did. They didn't know where the pressure was 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.520 coming from. Because of all the different looks we've showed 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.400 throughout this season. Yeah, I mean, because a few times 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.600 it was a bunch of guys lined up you know, you're, 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.520 like you mentioned, you and Bashta would drop out and 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.960 you would end up rushing for and have seven back 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.400 in coverage that was that was pretty interesting to watch 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.839 from AFAR. Yeah, I mean it's it definitely was a 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.880 well well thought out game plan that it was executed. 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.880 Dar Native infection inside the Jets are supported by M 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.000 and T Bank, Official Community bank of your New York Jets. 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:57.160 Eric ill On alongside Eric Coleman and Jordan Jenkins. Like 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.920 Eric just mentioned some of those blitz they weren't blitzes 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:06.040 you're rushing for, but the disguises were so well executed. 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.240 Are you gonna get Greg Williams here this week and say, hey, 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:12.560 that was nice? He gave Jamal Adams a chance to 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.239 get after the quarterback, He gave Brian Pool a chance 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:20.040 to get after the quarterback. Gotta gotta uh eat now 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.640 to look. You know, in the back of my mind, 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:24.960 I'm trying to get those uh those next five sacks 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:28.400 that finally break um the double digit barrier. But I mean, 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:32.000 as long as we keep stacking Douvius, I'm happy with it. Well, 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:33.600 you keep dropping back and coverage, you want to start 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:38.160 getting some I T that's right. Uh, you guys are 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:42.240 climbing up the statistical charts right now. Number thirteen overall 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:46.799 on defense, but number one in the National Football League 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.400 against the run in terms of yards per game seventy 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.760 nine point one and then tops and yards per carry. 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:56.600 How much pride you take in that because you are 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.680 an outside linebacker who sometimes has his hand in the 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.520 dirt and you are turning everything back inside. I mean, 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.880 it's something we definitely take a lot of pride in 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.440 because at the end of the day, it comes down 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.680 to who's gonna be the bigger man, who's got the uh, 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.360 who's got more willpower in it? Because it's it's literally 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.200 just man on man, like you gonna stop me or 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:17.680 might go to run through you. And that's sort of 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.040 the mentality we take when we um we're thinking about 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:25.400 stopping the run. Sixteen sacks the past three weeks, it's 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:30.880 not just Jamal, it is is every buddy who's contributing 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.440 that number equals the most in the three game span 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.440 for the New York Jets since nine when they were 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.680 calling those guys up front the New York Sack Exchange. Yeah, 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.600 I mean that's something that I've always been telling people, like, like, 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.520 we don't we don't stress about not getting home. I mean, 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.280 you know, we wish we could. You know, there's times 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.400 where they're getting teams against us getting the ball out 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.560 a lot quicker than the NFL averages. And uh we 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.360 knew that, uh sacks coming budget, So we just couldn't 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:58.960 let that get in our heads and just make the 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.480 play when you're turning to get and going to this week, 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:06.160 you help se Kwan Barkley the one yard rushing. This 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:09.080 week you have Adrian Peterson, one one of the greats 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.840 to play the game. Uh what was that? What were 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.440 the challenges that Adrian Peterson had for you guys that 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.200 you were looking at film and saying, we have to 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:21.640 do this against He flashed some explosion out there. Uh yeah, 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.000 what a p He's just uh his first ballot Hall 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.640 of Fame here. I mean, he's still got all the 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.440 He's got just about everything but the top end speed 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.720 that he had back in the day. And I mean 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.400 he's just running angry, like he's running out there with passion, 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.000 and he's running out there trying to prove, uh that 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.080 he still conte the rock and then he definitely can 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.480 and y'all can he He knows where the hole is 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.800 gonna be in h off of the game, but like 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.200 he he'll set up a run for himself, like he's 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.280 fully committed that he's not gonna missed or take a 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:53.920 see a lane there that he thinks he is open, 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:55.720 that's not actually gonna be there, But by the time 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.920 he gets there, it's not. He's gonna take the correct 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.280 lane and hit it. Ard what happens to you out 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.800 in the football field. For those who have not seen 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.760 the miking of Jordan Jenkins against the New York Giants, 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.360 go to New York Jets dot Com or any of 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.960 the Jets digital platforms, and you'll see a man, a 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:19.560 human being became become transition into a beast, a full 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:23.320 out savage out there. Yeah. Me off the field and 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:25.720 me on the field is honestly two different people. Like 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.160 I'm really relaxed off the field. Takes a lot to 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.320 get me mad, But on the field, I got a 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.880 quick switch and I'm just trying to destroy and run 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.040 through whoever's lined up against me. It's something else. It 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:40.360 is a pleasure to watch because is there something that 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:42.960 happens for you after the national anthem or is it 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:47.440 even before that where you say, okay, warrior mode. I 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.280 mean it's it's son as soon as we get outside 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.839 the tunnel as soon as uh they start the Nazal anthem. 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.200 I mean it just it gets the energy going. I 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.000 mean it gets the blood curling and uh you get 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.280 the little chill bumps going. And I mean it's just 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.120 locked in. They locked the gates. It's just ready to 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:05.120 roll after that. Now, Jordan, what has it been like 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.079 playing for Greg Williams? You know, obviously changing coordinators from 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.120 last year. What does Greg Williams bring the practice? What 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.640 does he bring the game? What kind of mentality does 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:17.240 he instill as a decordinator? Uh? Greg is just uh 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:21.360 he's allowed energetic, Like he's just always in your face 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.840 about things and he's not gonna let you skate by like. 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:28.080 Greg Williams doesn't settle for mediocripy like if if you're 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.560 doing something wrong or he's not gonna be like, all right, 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:31.960 you'll do it right in the game. Now, he's gonna 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:33.920 get onto you in front of everybody. I let you 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.080 know that this is what you need to do and 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.199 that's what you don't do. Um. He's a high energy. 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:44.520 He's high energy guy and has very select few words 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:48.400 uh that are very colorful for everyone to hear. What 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.600 does it say about the character in the locker room 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.920 the way that you guys have responded to the last 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:56.800 couple of weeks. Left for dead. They're one and seven, 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:01.640 lose to a winless team in Miami, come back grab 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:04.760 a victory at home over the Giants seesaw game. But 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.240 against Washington, I thought you really showed your maturation as 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:12.800 a group because it was a convincing win. Warrior to War, Yeah, 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:14.880 I mean that that that was one game where we 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:19.319 actually finally put together uh special teams wise offensively and defensively, 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.079 and I mean you just go like we just didn't 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.880 really when we get putting special situations, I think Sam 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.000 through the pick or uh I forgot somebody might have 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:29.719 fund when we go out there and Sam had to 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:31.960 pick and it just back to back and then Vincent 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:36.280 Smith and still we kick off. You guys are I 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.839 believe it was the twenty six and seventeen yard line 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.720 and Jordan, you held them to three points. I those 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.800 two possessions, Yeah, I mean one on we get to 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.000 stop fourth and they wouldn't go for it. On fourth 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:47.959 down we get the bad at pass, and I mean 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.880 it just goes to show the resiliency of the defense 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.360 and offense. Like we when somebody scores and not just 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.320 like all right, offense goes down their drives and field 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.720 scores and it's just sort of the mentality gotta have, 0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:59.360 Like so what now, what go out there, do a 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:03.360 job and make place. What about bless Austin, the rookie 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.960 from Rutgers. He comes in makes his first professional start 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.839 against the Washington Redskins. The week Priory came in to 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:14.280 the game and he flashed against the New York Giants. 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.720 It does not look like the lights are too bright 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.800 for him. No, I mean, Blesses Uh, he's a good kid. 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:22.440 I mean, you all, he puts the work and he's 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.640 been working every day. I mean I see him in 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.520 the training room since camp, like he's been putting in 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.720 the work, just waiting for his turn, waiting for his turn. 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.040 And I mean he goes hard in practice. Gotten to 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.880 a little scuffle with Brian Winners and practice. There you go. 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:39.600 That's a huge, huge size difference. But I mean, Blesses Uh, 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.000 he's a good kid that's ready to uh leave his 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.960 mark in the league. Now, Jordan's you know, going into 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:46.920 this offseason, I know there were some things that you 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:48.760 wanted to work on as a player and and they're 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:50.839 they're showing out in the field. I mean, you're doing 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.439 great job in your pass rush, You've always been very 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.839 good against the run. What are some of the things 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:57.480 that you wouldn't worked on, some of the things that 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.120 you focused on in the off season. I really they 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.600 just wanted to work on one, getting the body right. Uh. 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:07.439 Got lost about maybe five percent body fat uh this offseason, 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:11.680 And I really just sorted up. Wanted to work on 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:16.720 my hand usage and really just reacting better versus sets 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.040 and just finishing to the quarter once I got a 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.800 guy beat, just working another move and finishing like stacking 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.280 moves on top of each other and speeding up. When 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.560 you got a guy beat, you are in a selfish player. 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.199 You see a lot of guys from that edge position, 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.400 they're gonna go up field, they're gonna try to go 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:36.079 wide and no matter what, they might even try to 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:40.360 circle back at the quarterback. But you are you maintain 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.920 that discipline rush lane where you're taking that angle to 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.719 make sure that quarterback does not have an escape route. Right. 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.720 That's something we've really been harping on these last three 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.720 or four weeks. UM. Early on, we had some really 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:58.400 mobile quarterbacks, really shifty guys, and uh we came together 0:12:58.400 --> 0:12:59.760 and I was like, all right, let's if we want 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:01.200 to get sack we all need to play off of 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:02.840 each other. And in order to do that, we have 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.600 to maintain our rush lanes and uh that that's that's 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.360 when the sacks are coming. Uh we really have to 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.920 do that when we uh end up playing against um 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.400 Lamar Jackson watching his highlights today, I think it was 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.160 just on the TV a little bit ago, Like that man, 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:20.520 he's just he's playing like he's he's he's honestly the 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.320 best quarterback in the league right now, Like, uh, you 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:25.400 can't with going against the guy like that at caliberre 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.079 you can't get out of your rush lanes or he'll 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.240 scar you up like he has all season long. How 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:32.760 quickly do you turn your attention to the Oakland Raiders. 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:36.319 This is a team that has playoff aspirations. Now. A 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.400 lot of people before the season guys thought, oh Oakland. 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:42.320 You know they traded Khalil Mackaway, they traded Cooper Away. 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:46.400 What's going on there? The whole Antonio Brown saga. But 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.840 John Gruen has got those fellows playing well six and 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.640 four right now? Yeah, I mean they're playing um lights 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:55.640 out football. I know. Uh. I got a old teammate 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.240 of mind, um, Jonathan Abrams back there at safety that 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:02.080 was hurt and he's he uh embodies what that defense 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.880 is about. Like they're all high, um high, strong discipline 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.640 guys that are eager to show that they can play. 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:10.480 So I mean, I saw Max Crossby walk away with 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.360 four sacks on the train ride back as soon as 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:14.600 we got on the train and had the game on 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.199 and we were watching that, and um, I mean it's 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.200 gonna be a good game. Like those guys are, um 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.280 really a really tight Ennit unit. Derek Carr is leading 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.600 the way like he's uh he goes to bat for 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:27.000 his boys, and U I mean, they's just a really 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.360 tight Ennit bunch that are trying to make make a 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.600 run for this thing. And listen to the Jets defense 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.320 Number one in rushing rushing defense. When you go out 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.680 and play an opponent, how important is it for you 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.800 to stop the run initially? You know, there's a lot 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:42.960 of talk about how this is the passing league now, 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:44.600 but you still have to stop the run if you 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:46.920 want to have success. Correct, Yeah, no, it's a hundred 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.560 percent right, And in order for you to for a 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.520 defense linement and in order for an outer linebacker defensive 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.840 then the three technique d tackle. I mean it's like 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.240 if in order for you to have the fun you 0:14:58.240 --> 0:14:59.960 want to have to get to the quarterback on third 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.520 down and in fast situations, you gotta stop the running. 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.680 If teams don't need to pass the ball, what the 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.200 hell They're gonna pass the ball and keep running down 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.960 your throat and uh and just keep running until you 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:13.120 like it. How about the Raiders do you see them 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.480 as an old school opponent short passing game? Derek car 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.720 is completing like sevent of his passes, having a great season. 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:24.000 But the rookie Josh Jacobs out of Alabama averaging about 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.280 four and a half four point eight yards to carry, 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.720 close to five yards to carry. He's got seven touchdowns, 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.040 and it seems like they play a lot of big packages. 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:34.200 They'll come in there with twelve personnel, thirteen personnel and 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:35.840 try to run a touch your throat. Yeah, I mean 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:37.760 that's old school. I mean, honestly, when you look at him, 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.840 it's like, as youc offense, I mean, they've got uh, 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.480 They're gonna try and out out physically. You try and 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:47.600 be more aggressive. And I mean that Josh Jacobs is 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:49.800 what and as he running back is I mean, he's 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:51.480 a hard hitting guy. I gotta show that as a 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.280 he love but I mean he's a guy that you 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.120 gotta hit, you gotta wrap up against because I mean 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.080 he's he's playing pretty well this year. I mean he's 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:03.240 just doing this. And listen, going into this last stretch 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.280 actually in the second half of the season, what what 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:08.920 what are your goals? What are the what are the 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.440 team's goes? Obviously you want to win every game as 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.960 they come, but but what makes this a success for 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.720 the New York Jets. I mean success for us is 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:18.240 just uh we we want to go all that. We 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:19.600 want to get to the playoffs, and we want to 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.440 keep fighting. We don't want to know when our last 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.240 game is. We want to just like after weeks extay, 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.480 we don't want it. It's sort of the thing like 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:29.960 you don't want to know when your last game is 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.080 in the season. You want to just keep going and 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:34.240 keep battling and let let the gim fallward they may 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:35.560 at the end of the season. I mean that's how 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:37.760 the approach we've had these last couple of weeks is 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:39.840 uh focused on the point we got this week and 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:41.920 then you know, at the end of the year, count 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:43.920 of all them wins and lodges and then see what 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:45.960 can happen. What do you think about this line the 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:50.760 Oakland Raiders from left to right, Colton Miller, Richie in canto, 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.760 former Buffalo Thll Yeah, Rodney Hudson still one of the 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.200 better centers in football. I would say Gabe Jackson and 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.800 Trent Brown at right tackle. I mean, I know they 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:01.800 got a hell of a guy at uh left tackle. 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:05.200 I was actually talking to Alex Lewis uh today about 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.720 their offensive lineman. He was like, yeah, I mean, uh, 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.720 that left tackle, he's uh, he's he's playing probably a 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:12.920 Pro Bowl season this year. He's actually playing something the 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.760 best football has ever had sincely been in the league. 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.080 And uh, you know what you're gonna get with Richie 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.600 And I mean the tight end Darren Waller is also 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:22.840 having a hell of a season as well. So I 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:26.280 mean they've got a lot of talent in that offensive 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:28.800 line and uh in the tight introduce it's Richie, a 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:32.280 guy that you will exchange pleasantries with on Sunday a 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.639 few times. You know, I might see him every now 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:37.399 and then stuff the packages and uh, I'm just not 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.119 gonna I'm not gonna get the flag. I'm gonna try 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.760 and keep balling and uh, let my play do the talking. 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.640 What do you think about your quarterback? Is Sam Donald 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:48.680 against the Washington Redskins a career high four touchdown passes 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.960 in the last two weeks. You're seen as sending ballplayer 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:55.479 right now? Man, Sam, Uh, He's he's pretty hot right now. 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.680 I mean he's making all the right checks. I mean 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.720 he didn't let after you threw the pig, got the 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:02.919 offense together. It was like, hey, look, we need to 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.800 get this thing right. Like, um, I can't remember what 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:08.000 he said. I remember looking over. He got everybody together 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.280 and we just he got control of the huddle and 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:12.320 it was one of the first few times like saw 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:14.560 him like look I looked at him and he's just like, 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:16.840 oh wow, like keeps taking control of this thing and 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.920 he's um being a true quarterback and I mean he 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:22.479 just was on it. Like it was a great thing 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:26.000 to see. Yeah, how much stress does a guy like that? 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:29.280 You talked about Lamar Jackson, not comparing Stamdon Lamar Jackson, 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.560 of course, but what he can do outside the pocket, 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:35.720 because there are a couple of times against Washington where 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:38.520 the pockets started to break a little bit and he 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:42.880 just shuffled a couple of and you saw defenders drawn 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:45.879 up or they froze, and you saw a couple of 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.399 your tight end is take off. Ryan Griffin hit a 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:52.560 huge day receiving. Yeah. I mean, Sam's just he's realizing 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:54.159 what he could do on his legs. I mean, if 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:56.919 you look back to the Giants game, even like he 0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:59.600 made a lot of plays while people were taking him 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:01.840 to the ground on like, he's not making some of 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.720 the mistakes he made before, like throwing an errand pass 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:06.879 here and there, when guys around him like he's gotten 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.320 he's gotten used to it. It's like okay, I know 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:11.720 I'm about to go down read one's not there, look 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:14.080 at two, all right, throw it there, boom. And I 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:17.520 mean he's just he's just getting more comfortable in that 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.880 backfield and getting downside the pocket making place. You mentioned 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:25.040 double digit sacks before. You missed a couple of games 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:28.320 earlier this season. You're back to full health. What would 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:31.560 that mean? Do you? You're always about team and talking 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:35.680 about what you guys can do collectively, but just that 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:39.480 figure yourself, what what what would that mean? I mean, 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:43.720 that's definitely something I've always wanted to uh achieve, and 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:46.480 this is uh. I'm set up pretty nicely right now. 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:49.760 I mean missed three games, but I mean six games left. 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:53.280 I've got five sacks now, Jamal stole one, so it 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:55.720
