1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,840
Speaker 1: Let's start off. What do you see in the Jets

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: team over the last three games on their current win streak. Oh,

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: I just think they're a really good team. If you

4
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: go across uh you know their personnel, offense, defense, and

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: kicking game. They've got a lot of really good players,

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: a very good offensive line, the ability to run the football,

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 1: playmaking receivers, outside quarterback who's playing really really well. Defensively,

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: excellent front seven, excellent on the back end scheme they

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: believe in. They stop the run, they defend the pass,

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: and pressure the quarterback, just do a lot of good things.

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: And they make some play in the kicking game. So

12
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're they're they're a good football team.

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: I think you see it in all phases of their team.

14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: Be a great challenge for our team on Saturday. Is

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: there a specific phase of their game that that you

16
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: look to attack that you say, that's where we can go,

17
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: That's where I feel confident in. Well, I think that's

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: what makes them a really good football team is it's

19
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: hard to find stuff that you say, okay, boy, that's

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: a weakness and we've got to go attack that. From

21
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: a personnel standpoint, it's hard to find that from a

22
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: scheme standpoint, it's hard to find that. And uh, it

23
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: certainly played very very well throughout the year. They played

24
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: particularly well these last three weeks. Coach, what's it been

25
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: like missing Tony Romo for most of the season. Well,

26
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's part of our our the National

27
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: Football League. You know, sometimes, you know, you have players

28
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: who are reporting to your team aren't available to you,

29
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: and you have to put the next guy in there,

30
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: and you have to rally around him, and you know, somehow,

31
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: some way, you know, figure out a way to win

32
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: ball games. Nonetheless, and you know, we've had a couple

33
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: of different quarterbacks playing. Brandon Weed played first and the

34
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: Matt Castle has been playing most recently. And you know,

35
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: as a football team, we haven't been able to do

36
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: what's necessary to win, and we've been closing a lot

37
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: of games. I think our team is battling and fighting

38
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: and scratching and clawen and we're playing with the right

39
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: kind of relentless spirit, but haven't done the things necessary

40
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: to win a lot of these games, particularly late in

41
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: the game. So we have to find a way to

42
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: do that. And again, that just would be a great

43
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: challenge for us on Saturday night. In your opinion, how

44
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: has Matt Castle played for your team this season? I

45
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: think Matt's done some good things and there's some some

46
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: areas where he certainly has to play better, and he'd

47
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: be the first one to tell you that. Uh, you know,

48
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: we haven't been as consistent, uh throwing the footballs we've

49
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: been in the past. We haven't been as explosive offensively

50
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: are we haven't scored enough points in games, put too

51
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: much pressure on the other parts of our team. We

52
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: have been a lot of these games late and he's

53
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: done a good job giving us a chance to win

54
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: Layton ball games, but ultimately we haven't gotten the job done.

55
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: And you know that's not only bad, but that's everybody

56
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: in offense, defense, in the kicking game as coaches and

57
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: players are all a part of it. And uh, you know,

58
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: we've got to keep trying to make the corrections, trying

59
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: to get better, and again, a great challenge for us

60
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: on Saturday night against the Jets. Correct me if I'm

61
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, but I don't believe you guys are

62
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: out of playoff contention yet. What what are you telling

63
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: your team right now as you're moving full we're uh

64
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: coming up to this matchup. Yeah, I think the biggest

65
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: thing for us is to focus on us and focus

66
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: on our preparation and and not be real concerned about

67
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: what's going on outside our building. And you know a

68
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: lot of people get caught up in the standings and

69
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: what other teams are doing and where we are, and

70
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: what we need to do is focus on us and

71
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: getting better. And there are a lot of good things

72
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: to build on. We gotta build on him and and

73
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: certainly we have to make the corrections of the things

74
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: that aren't, you know, up to the standard of our play.

75
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: And we'll work on that this week. And uh, you know,

76
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: our focuses on one game and do whatever thing we

77
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: can to player best football Saturday night against the Jets. Coach,

78
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: what have you seen o Ryan Fitzpatrick over recent weeks? Oh?

79
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: It was just a really good player. Has been a

80
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: good player in this league for a long time and

81
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: certainly has a comfort level playing in that system. He's smart,

82
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: he's tough, you can really throw the ball anywhere. He

83
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: knows how to use the weapons. You know, he competes,

84
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: He runs and makes plays with his feet, He stands

85
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: in there and makes tough throws, and he just played

86
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: very well, a lot of little plays for them and

87
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: made a lot of big plays and has been really

88
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: doing that all year long and has played particularly well

89
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: these last few weeks. Is there a specific way that

90
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: you can get him off this game early in the

91
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: game or the girl always trying to affect the opposing

92
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: team's quarterback. I think everybody has that objective every week,

93
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: and you know, you do that by rushing your down

94
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: guys or bringing some pressures or you know, whatever you

95
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: do defensively to somehow some way make that guy uncomfortable.

96
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: So no different this week for us, and they're going

97
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: to try to do the same thing to our quarterback.

98
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: It's it's it's really one of the most critical parts

99
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: of the game. But he's certainly playing with a lot

100
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: of confidence, you know. I think he understands that system

101
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: really well. He understands where his weapons are and does

102
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: a great job getting the wall. You touched on it

103
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: a bit earlier. UM, with three games left, you have

104
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: the Jets, Bills and Redskins. Whether you fall out of

105
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: playoff contention or not, what do you want to see

106
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: out of your team moving forward? UM? As the offseason approaches. Yeah,

107
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: we're really not thinking about about that. We're thinking about,

108
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: you know, playing our best football on Saturday night. And and

109
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: and that's really where our focus has to be. And

110
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: it's a short week for us, and you know, today's

111
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: a Wednesday, and players are coming in here shortly, and

112
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: you know, we'll get in front of them and we'll

113
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: clean up the game from Green Bay and again build

114
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: on some of the positives and correct and the things

115
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: that weren't you know, good enough, and we'll get our

116
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: eyes forward on the Jets very quickly. And uh, excited

117
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: about this opportunity, and that's really where our focus is.

118
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, we believe that if you do that,

119
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: you put good days on top of each other, that's

120
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: when you're gonna play your best football. Is there something

121
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: special about playing Saturday night football? Oh, it's exciting. It's

122
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: exciting to play on Saturday night. And uh, you know,

123
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: anytime you play one of these off schedule games, whether

124
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: it's Thanksgiving or Monday night or Saturday night, you know,

125
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: it's a great opportunity for your team. So you have

126
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: to embrace it and treat it as such. And and and

127
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: that's certainly what our team is gonna do,
