WEBVTT - Inside the Jets (12/17) 0:00:02.360 --> 0:00:05.760 Live from vender Bill Sports and Spirits inside the Windham 0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:09.800 Hamilton's Park Hotel. It's Inside the Jets, brought to you 0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:13.600 by e Y Building a Better Working World, and by 0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:16.880 M and T Bank, the official community bank of your 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:21.080 New York Jets. No, here's Eric Gallen and Eric Coleman. 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:25.600 Welcomed Inside the Jets were broadcasting live from Vanderbilt Sports 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:29.960 and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel. Eric alongside 0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:34.120 Eric Coleman. Momentarily we will be joined by Jets center 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:38.000 Jonathan Harrison. But the Jets fall to four and ten 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.560 on the season with a twenty nine to twenty two 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.000 loss to the Houston Texans. I don't want to talk 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.960 about score right now. I want to lead by talking 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:50.720 about the twenty one year old quarterback who is leading 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.040 this offense right now. We're watching him develop in front 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.880 of our own eyes. He became the youngest quarterback in 0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:59.800 NFL history to lead a game winning drive in Buffalo. 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.320 He followed that up against a good Houston Texans defense, 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.240 and you can make the argument that was his best 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.800 performance as a pro. Twenty four thirty eight two fifty 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:13.480 three yards, two touchdowns through the air. He also used 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.760 his feet e six rushes thirty five yards and he 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.560 earned a lot of praise for that performance. Yeah. I 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.000 mean he's he's really grown these last two weeks. You know, 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.880 you've seen Sam Donald uh sit back and grow as 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.560 a quarterback. He's being more efficient, he's more precise, that 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.000 he's decisive with his throws, and uh really attacking the 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.520 field vertically and which I think is loosening things up 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.360 underneath for him. Uh. I think those those couple of 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.000 weeks with the injury, we're a big step for him. 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.120 He was able to sit back, watch Josh McCown or 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.679 run things, watch watch how defenses are attacking him. Uh, 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.120 just to understand the small nuances of the game. I 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.000 think it really helped him to step back because he's 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.640 come back a different player. To win long term in 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.440 the National Football League, you have to have good play 0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:00.400 at the quarterback position. This guy has all the tools. 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.440 I've been here since two thousand one. Is a New 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.880 York Jets employee. The guy that I think of when 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.320 I watched Donald, not from a plane perspective in terms 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.679 of the way they play their styles, but is Chad Pennington. 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.639 In two thousand two that was his first year starting. 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.760 Actually after sitting and watching Vinny Testaverdi for a couple 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.120 of years, Sam Donald has been put into the fire 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.880 here early in his rookie season. We didn't know how 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:27.960 he was going to respond when he went down with 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:31.720 the strained right foot against the Miami Dolphins November four. 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.040 Then he had a month off and he has come 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.800 back and like you said, he really benefited from watching 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.919 Josh mccowney. Talked about that today on the conference call. 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.440 How a veteran quarterback at thirty nine year old like 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:50.160 McCown orchestrates the practice, goes through the game week, the preparation, 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.160 and how decisive he was with the reads even though 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:58.040 the offense really wasn't working very efficiently as far as 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.840 how much how many points there were. School warn Eric 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.079 he learned a lot by watching McCollum. Yeah. I mean, 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:05.720 and you can see, you know, from the way he's 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.240 he's playing the game, he's making great decisions. He and 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.400 Robby Anderson seemed to have reconnected. Uh. He's taking a 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.440 lot of shots with him and I think he's gained 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:15.840 some of the he's gained more trust from the coaching 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.480 staff because now they're just starting to attack the field vertically. 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.440 They're starting to take more shots. It's not just checkcounts, 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.720 it's not just quick screens. They're opening things up for 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.280 it for Sam and he's proven that he can handle 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.040 the load. You know, leading that that two minute drive 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.680 to come back against Buffalo was a huge step. You know, 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.560 that's not easy. You know, when you talk about elite quarterbacks, 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.960 I always consider listen, it's two minutes left, you need 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:41.280 a touchdown. Does this quarterback strike fearing you? And Sam 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.560 Donald showed that he can be that quarterback that can 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.640 lead his team down the field, no matter how far 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.680 it is, no matter what the circumstance, and get a 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:51.160 touchdown for this team. There were three instances against the 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.880 Houston Texans Saturday night where Donald used his feet and 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.960 you were wondering, is he just gonna talk it and 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.680 run it. Number one was the touchdown asked to Robbie 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.520 Anderson right before the end of the half. He the 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.600 presence of mind to go right up to the line 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:10.480 of scrimmage and then find his crossing receiver for a touchdown. 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.200 Then there were a couple of connections with Chris Herndon 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:17.159 where he rolled left. One time rolled right in other 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:21.039 time and again kept his eyes down the field. That's 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.560 what you see veteran quarterbacks do because you know it 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:27.680 better than anybody. You as a former guy who played 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.480 in the back end. A lot of young quarterbacks who 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:33.840 feel the pressure their eyes go down. His eyes are 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.279 staying off, yeah, you know. And that's what's so impressive 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.480 about Sam. When I was a rookie, I came into 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.279 the league with Ben Roethlisberger, and he was known for 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.920 having one read. If if his initial read wasn't open, 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.320 he was gonna tuck it and run. And what Sam 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.200 has done, He's able to scramble, keep the play alive, 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.559 keep his eyes down the field, and it makes things 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.240 so difficult for for a guy covering the receivers. You know, 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.440 you have to cover the initial route, but then once 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.240 those receivers uncover and things start to just you know, 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.680 go go, go off the script, so to speak. It 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.320 makes it very tough, especially with the guy with the 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.480 big arm like Sam, who can throw the ball vertically 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.240 on the run inside the jets is supported by selective 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:13.599 insurance responses everything. How about some of the designs we're 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.280 seeing with Donald Now, there was a play early on 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.560 I believe in the second half where you saw him spin, 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.600 move to his left and then throw a dart to 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:27.360 Robbie Anderson for twenty yards. That's a big time throw. Yeah, 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.800 it is a big time throw. Typically, as a defense, 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:32.599 you're expecting that quarterback to roll out to your left 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.120 and to see Sam roll out the opposite way to 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.919 have a design play. Uh, it just speaks to to 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:39.480 what he can do. You know, there's not a lot 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.720 of quarterbacks who can throw the ball as accurate as 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.960 he does running to his left. It takes a lot 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:45.440 of skill set. You know. You have to get your 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.160 shoulders across, you have to get your feet set, drive 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.240 the ball at the right velocity. And Sam has all 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.640 those tools. And it's exciting to see what he's doing 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.360 right now because he's showing glimpses of being great and 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.000 I think his potential, you know, the sky's the limit. 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:00.640 I think he's gonna be a great quarterback in this 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.760 league as long as he continues to progress. And that's 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:05.480 something exciting. If you're a Jets fan, Hi, what does 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.920 it mean to you when your peers are talking about 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:12.080 you the way they did this week? Uh? The week 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.480 proceeding in the game. And then after the game when J. J. 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.200 Watt goes up to Sam Donald says, you're gonna be 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.920 a great player in this league. When Bill O'Brien talks 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.560 about you the way he did, what what does that 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.960 say about the respect he's getting around the National Football League? Now? 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.720 That speaks volumes because they don't have to say that, 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:31.640 They don't have to say anything to him. They can 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.880 tell him good game, keep it moving, talk about what 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.200 they did as a team. But for them to take 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.240 time out and talk about Sam Donald and his progress 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.080 and how his skill set has continued to grow and 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.000 how he's going to be a star. That that goes 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.680 that goes far, you know, especially from a guy like J. J. Watt. 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.480 You know, he's a three time Defensive Player of the Year, uh, 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.440 you know, multiple Pro Bowls and just probably one of 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.559 the best players to play D line in the league 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:56.919 in some time. For him to go out of his 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.320 way and to give praise to Sam Donald, he has 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.760 to be doing something right. Inside the Jets is presented 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.720 by e Y Building a Better Working World, Eric Ellen 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.480 and Eric Coleman here at Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits inside 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:11.000 the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel will be joined by Jonathan 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:15.040 Harrison later tonight. Um he went down fighting too. There 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.760 was a fourth and fifteen play where the Jets had 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.160 to have it and again he's scrambling and he threw 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.160 a dart up the Robbie Anderson that was nearly completed. Yeah, 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:25.080 I mean that was an impressive throw, you know, to 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.000 throw that ball on the run again, to give Robby 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.880 Anderson a chance to make that play and to extend 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.960 the drive. If he makes that catch, who knows what 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.360 would have happened. But at the same time, Sam made 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.080 the smart play. He made an accurate pass, and you know, 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:40.760 you would like to have seen Robbie come up with it, 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:42.720 but I understand why he couldn't because that was a 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:46.160 very difficult play. And it seems fool hardy now to 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:50.040 think about. There were some people actually externally, some fans, 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:53.520 and why even put him in there with the Jets offense. 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.040 He's gonna get killed out there down the stretch. Look 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.960 at what is happening and the way these guys are 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:03.080 developing because we much and Robbie Anderson, well, they're developing 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.240 rhythm and chemistry that they can carry over to two 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.280 thousand nineteen and oh, by the way, number eighty nine, 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.760 Chris Hernon, a fourth round pick out of Miami. He's 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.440 gonna be a big time player in the National Football League. 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.680 And watch that connection between fourteen and eighty nine, not 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:20.880 only for the final two games and two thousand and eighteen, 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:22.880 but for years to come. Yeah, I mean Chris Herndon 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.880 is leading all rookie tight ends and receiving, you know, 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.160 and that just shows that this kid has a lot 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.440 of talent to grow. Uh. He has a great rapport 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:32.280 with with Sam Donald. You know, we had him on 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:34.080 the show earlier in the year and he was talking 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.200 about how they were roommates and how there wasn't a 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.240 lot of talking between them, but on the field they 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.080 started to understand one another. And I think it takes that, 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.800 you know, taking takes a quarterback getting to know his receivers, 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.120 getting to know his tight ends to gain that trust 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.040 and and it really is going to be exciting. What 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.800 you're watching right now is this team grow. It's a 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.480 young team. They need as many reps as possible. So 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:57.679 why you say, oh, they're not going to the playoffs. 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.040 These reps are aren't valuable. You know, they need to 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.520 get his many reps together to continue to grow, learn 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.760 how to win those close games, learn how to how 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:06.839 to fight through tough times. I think that's what you're 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:08.640 seeing in this team, and they're getting better for it. 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:12.080 What are you seeing as a guy inside the locker 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.600 room when you watch him play? Because I asked Ramain 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.080 Johnson about him after the game and the media scrum, 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:21.800 he said he's special. Jamal Adams was asked about him 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:25.120 in the media scrum, he said he's a bad man. Yeah. 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.960 I mean listen, as a as a safety in the NFL, 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:30.560 I'm not gonna lie. There's weeks where you go into 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.160 the defensive back meetings, you watch film on the quarterback, 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.240 and everybody as a group says, listen this week at 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.880 this quarterback goes over a hundred fifty yards. Everybody in 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.280 here is getting fined. There are times where you look 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.840 at quarterbacks and you just see that they can't get 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.800 it done with Sam Donald. This guy, I'm telling you, 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.320 he strikes fear in the defense. He makes it so 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.679 you have to respect every every route run, um, every 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.200 time he gets out of the pocket. You have to 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.640 play it from the top down and respect what he 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.000 can do. As a player. Yes, at the beginning of 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.320 the season, he was one into a couple of mistakes, 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.840 but he's learned from his mistakes and he every week 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.559 you're seeing him continue to get better. And that's that's 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.240 saying a lot for a rookie who started every game. 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.040 And the Jets have a lot of financial flexibility in 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:15.199 the off season to add some more pieces around Sam 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:19.160 Thornald and we'll see how they address those moves in 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.760 the spring. But in the meantime, they had two games 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.560 to play. This is their final home game this weekend. 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.760 As Aaron Rodgers comes to town. What do you think 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:29.839 that's gonna be like for the rookie quarterback when he 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:33.240 stares across the sideline and sees one of the best 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.400 who's ever played the game. And it's funny. People in 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.080 Green Bear saying Aaron Rodgers are struggling this season. Well, 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.040 I'd like to struggle with those kind of numbers completing 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.559 about his passes. But he's got twenty three touchdowns in 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.760 two interceptions. Yeah, I mean, he's playing lights out. He 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.080 doesn't have the talent that he used to have, you know, 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:53.920 back in the day, but Aaron Rodgers is very dangerous. 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.040 You know I faced him in Atlanta in the playoffs 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.160 when you know we were were division chaps. We had 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.520 the first round by they were a wild, hard team. 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.160 Aaron Rodgers caught fired. They ran through the league and 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.840 won the Super Bowl. So he can catch fire at anytime. 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.679 But for Sam Donald to sit and watch on the 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.120 other side of the sideline and see a guy like 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.120 Aaron Rodgers, I'm sure it has to get him excited. 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.800 He probably grew up watching him throughout high school through 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.800 college as one of those great quarterbacks. Probably molded a 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:21.839 little bit of his game after him because he does 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:23.720 throw a well on the run, just like Sam does. 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.440 And it's it's probably gonna get those competitive uses going, 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:31.160 because if you can outplay Sam Donald, you're doing it right. Yeah. 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:36.079 Aaron Rodgers, Yeah, both California kids, And obviously Sam Donald 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.880 watched a lot of Aaron Rodgers coming up. But oh, 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:40.920 by the way, look at what happened Aaron Rodgers. He 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:45.040 sat behind Brett Farv for a couple of seasons. Again, 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:49.000 Donald's coming in at He's seen a lot of things. 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.840 He's progressing in front of our eyes. There is reason 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:55.839 to be excited. Nobody in the organizations happy about the 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.280 four and ten record, nor should they be, But it 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.680 looks like you found your long term answer at the 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:06.720 most important position and professional sports. Yeah, you know when 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.000 when Sam, when you when you start him from week one, 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.360 you understand that you're gonna go through your lumps as 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.080 a team. You know they're gonna be some good days 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.400 and some bad days. But at the same time, are 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:17.480 you continuing to get better as a team? You know, 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:19.439 I think you're seeing it on the defense. They're playing 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.320 great football. Uh. You see it offensively, starting to find 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.440 their identity running the football, throwing play action, taking shots 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.480 down the field, starting to find out who we are 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:31.080 as a team. And that's great to see because, Uh, 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.000 a lot of young players, a lot of youth, a 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.559 lot of a lot of free agent money to spend 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.240 and add additions to this team. And I think it's 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.840 gonna be a good thing. Um, let's flip to the 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.720 defensive side of the ball real quick. Uh. The good 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:47.040 in the bed, the pass rush. Uh, the Jets really 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.840 brought it against DeShawn Watson. We thought they might be 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:53.880 able to exploit the Texans offensive line, and they sure did. Uh. 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:57.840 The week before Deshaun Watson sacked five times. When any 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.959 any Indianapolis colts again in the New York Jets, he 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:05.640 sacked six times. And Henry Anderson, who you got for 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:09.319 a seventh round pick on draft weekend, picks up three 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.480 sacks and now he has six on the two thousand 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:14.600 eighteen season. Yeah, I mean, and I was excited to 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.720 watch Henry get after Deshaun Watson. And when he was 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.240 on the show, he was talking about how he's just 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.960 now learning how to pass rush. He's learning the techniques, 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:26.120 he's getting his bag of goods, bag of tricks ready 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.280 for for the pass rush. You're starting to see a 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:31.199 show on the field. He's mixing things up. He's always 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.440 had a great motor. He's always been strong at the 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:35.559 point of attack. But now he's starting to to to 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.480 use his his different moves and it's great to see 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.040 because he's taking some of the pressure off of Leonard Williams, 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.520 He's taking some of the pressure off McClinton and uh 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.720 and this defensive line can be good, you know, if 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.080 they continue to grow like this and these guys start 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:50.439 to make plays that he designed. Jordan Jenkins, because you 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:54.280 got a sack against the Texans and you increased your 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:58.319 team lead to seven, but Henry Anderson is right behind 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.560 you with six. So that's gonna be an interesting battle 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:05.000 to watch the sack race inside the Jets locker room. 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:08.360 But DeAndre Hopkins, he got off against the Jets. Uh, 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:12.480 Todd Bowl set it on Sunday that listen, we didn't 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:17.080 want to move corner across the field in this case, 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:22.120 probably Tremaine Johnson because the Texans move DeAndre Hopkins all 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.360 over the place. Yeah, you know, it's tough to to 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.080 match up a receiver with a corner with the receiver 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:30.360 because one you give up your disguise. You know, if 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.040 if DeAndre Hopkins is lined up in the slot and 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.440 Tremaine Johnson follows him in the slot, guess what they know? 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.200 You're playing man to man. Uh, you know, it depends 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.200 on wherever he goes, you know. And plus I think 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:45.160 Chris Morris Clayborne has a tremendous skill set. You know, 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.680 there's a couple of plays that Hopkins made where I 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:49.480 don't care who you are at corner, he was making 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.440 the catch and that's what kind of He's an unbelievable 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:55.760 ball player. We're often running here on inside the Jets. 0:14:55.800 --> 0:15:03.160 We will be right back from Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits. 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.480 Donald and the Shotgun McGuire too was right, takes the snap, 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:10.280 three man rush, looks left, fires left, ends up for Roberts. 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:14.800 He's got it. That's a Jet touchdown. Sam Turtle comes 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:19.080 back soon and Andrea Roberts hauls it in for the score. 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:24.040 Jets Reward members, don't forget to enter the code neutral 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:28.440 in your Jets Rewards portal during this show to earn 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.800 a hundred points. Eric Allen and Eric Coleman here at 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:35.560 Vanderbilt Sports and Series Spirits inside and Windham Hamilton's Park 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:40.320 Hotel um E. What is in store for Sam Donald 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:45.440 this weekend against the Packers in terms of uh, Mike 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:49.760 Petton led defense. This is a pupil of Rex Ryan 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:53.880 and Petton was here for a number of years as well. Yeah. Well, 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:55.800 you know you're gonna see a lot of pressures. And 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.080 I think that's a good thing. I think Sam he 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.120 excels when team's pressure room. You know, it makes things. 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.200 I think it simplifies things for him. He's athletic enough 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.160 to break the pocket whenever he does get that pressure, 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:09.040 and that's when you see him improvising. When you can 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.360 see that pressure, so it's gonna be a good matchup 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:14.120 for him. I like, you know, the matchups with Robby 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.240 Haderson on the perimeter. I like the matchups at the 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.560 skill positions. And I think there are some weaknesses that 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.440 the Jets can expose. I was talking to Bart Scott 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:25.440 about this today and he said that, hey, put a 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.240 lot of screens into the game plan this week, and 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.640 that's this defense. Why would that be effective? Well, you 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:32.760 know when when the team pressures a lot when they blitz, 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:34.800 there's not a lot of help. You know that when 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:36.800 when you're in the all out blitz, the corners the 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.960 safeties have to play from eight nine yards off just 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:42.520 because they don't have any help. So that sets up 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.400 a screen very well. Well, if you can get a 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.240 hat on the hat on the screen, you have an 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.640 opportunity to have a lot of big plays. When you 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.400 match up a screen versus all out blitz, you anticipate 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:54.760 some cloud formations where the defense is that it looks 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:58.000 like they're just standing up and everybody like and we've 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:01.680 seen this from Rext and Putting before, where you don't 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:05.560 know how to identify times or it might confuse you 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:08.400 a little bit because of what they're what they're doing 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:10.440 up front. Yeah, you know, we did that as well 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.919 with with Mangini. And the great thing about that is 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.000 sometimes when you bring all out blitz from that look 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.080 or you back out into his own you can confuse 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:21.600 the quarterback. But the negative side is if that offensive 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.159 line points out the center of the of the of 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.199 the blitz and they're able to pick it up, you 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:28.720 expose yourself to some big place. So you know, I 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:31.080 don't expect to see a lot of it, because again 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:32.960 the Jets have shown they will take a deep shot, 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.560 they will take throw the ball down the field, and 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:37.919 if they do that and hit the Packers a few times, 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:39.600 that will get them out of that defense. Quick. What 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.080 do you expect from the Packers now five eight and one, 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:46.320 this is unfamiliar territory and they let Mike McCarthy go 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:50.080 in season. Joe Philbin right now the interim head coach. 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:52.879 They just lost the games the Chicago Bears. The Bears 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:56.639 just clinched the NFC North. So uh, it's gonna be 0:17:56.840 --> 0:18:01.160 a very interesting how this Packers team comes out over 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.000 these final two games. Yeah, I mean they should be motivated. 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:06.720 You know the fact that the organization fired their head 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.360 coach shows them that you aren't playing well, we will 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:11.160 get rid of you. So guys are gonna be playing 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.920 for their jobs. It's gonna I expect some trick plays. 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.960 I expect them to leave no stone unturned trying to 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:19.080 defeat the Jets. You know, you may see an onside kick, 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:21.600 you may see some gadget plays, but you are gonna 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:23.720 get their best effort. You're gonna see their You're gonna 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:25.880 get their best punch early if they if the Jets 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.480 can weather that storm, then they're gonna be fine. They're 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.560 gonna be if they can continue to run the ball, 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:32.879 stick to the run, hit the open receivers in the 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:35.399 passing game. I think things will be good because this 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:39.359 defense matchup wise, can cover the receivers of the Packers. Okay, 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:41.920 we'll get in the matchup more in a second. UH 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:46.719 Pro Bowl rosters will be released Tuesday night. Is second 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:50.880 year safety Jamal Adams deserving of the NOD this year. 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:54.159 Absolutely absolutely. When you when you watch Jamal play, when 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:57.000 you watch the Jets defense play, he's playing at another 0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:59.600 level then everyone on the field and both defenses. Uh, 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:01.639 you know, he plays a high intensity. He plays the 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:03.959 game the right way. He makes great tackles, he's been 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:06.439 getting after the quarterback. He's really doing it all as 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:08.640 a safety. Everything you could ask for in the safety 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.600 Jamal is doing it. He's leading the team. Uh. And 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:13.880 I think he is a special player and and one 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:16.480 of those one of those guys that that no matter 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:19.000 what team you're watching, you're gonna notice thirty three on 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:21.560 the field. So I definitely think that he deserves the 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.440 Pro Bowl nod. If not, I understand why the team 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:26.720 hasn't been winning. You know, typically these these awards go 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.880
