Speaker 1: Welcome to the Official Jets Podcast. Eric Allen here inside
Speaker 1: studio the Studio with rookie running back bre Saw. We're
Speaker 1: joined as always by the mad backer Bart Scott. Let's
Speaker 1: get right to it. Hell of a comeback victory, second
Speaker 1: time in two road games. How did that game winner
Speaker 1: feel for you? First rushing touchdown in the National Football Lake. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I felt like people were trying to say
Speaker 1: I fumbled, but if you watch, you can see as
Speaker 1: soon as I got up a single to a scot
Speaker 1: to touchdown. So um, I knew the coaches once we
Speaker 1: got inside the ten, everre gonna put the ball in
Speaker 1: my hands at least through out of the four plays
Speaker 1: we had, So um, it just shows a little of
Speaker 1: trust they had in me, and I knew I was
Speaker 1: gonna get in the end zone. Now, you guys fell
Speaker 1: down ten points in the fourth quarter and then I
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta kiddy picking over there all jack
Speaker 1: of my mouth, dude like doing doing this? You know
Speaker 1: how how how good did that to kind of silence
Speaker 1: that crowd, especially because I know after they start rallying,
Speaker 1: they played renting game and they do all the little theatrics.
Speaker 1: So how was that environment first of all, because you
Speaker 1: played in a big college and you've been in some
Speaker 1: big games, how did that compare? And how did it
Speaker 1: feel when they had to walk out of that stadium? Um,
Speaker 1: it was really like when when all that all that
Speaker 1: started happening, You know, we we got in the hard
Speaker 1: spot and we felt like we were shooting ourselves in
Speaker 1: the foot. So nobody really ever got flustered or anything.
Speaker 1: It was just like our guys who gotta lock it
Speaker 1: in and take it one play at a time. So um,
Speaker 1: and really on that last drive, once we saw that, um,
Speaker 1: Michael Carter the second got to pick, we were like,
Speaker 1: we got in the huddling, zactly, let's go score f
Speaker 1: and touchdown. So we just took it the play at
Speaker 1: the time and we knew that we could put ourselves
Speaker 1: in a good spot to score and we did that. Cleveland.
Speaker 1: How much did the winning Cleveland kind of give you
Speaker 1: all hope that the game is never over and that
Speaker 1: you could come back. Yeah, it just goes back to
Speaker 1: training camp and Coach I always saying you always got
Speaker 1: six more and then him preaching us at the games
Speaker 1: never over to the clock hits zero. So um, you know,
Speaker 1: we just took it the play at the time, and
Speaker 1: like I said, the game's never over to the clock
Speaker 1: his zero. So we just kept playing hard and kept
Speaker 1: doing our one eleven on the field and came out
Speaker 1: with the win. First rushing touchdown in your fourth professional game.
Speaker 1: Can you take us through that play? Because bart I
Speaker 1: went back and looked at that replay today. Miles Jack
Speaker 1: was in there pretty quick. Yeah, it was a punch play.
Speaker 1: So the old line was, uh, they were having hard
Speaker 1: double teams on the D line, and so if the
Speaker 1: linebacker shot, he was gonna come free. And he did that.
Speaker 1: So I just kind of gave him a little side
Speaker 1: step and he slipped off and I was able to
Speaker 1: reach the ball across. That's really what it was. Did
Speaker 1: you know it right away? As far as when they
Speaker 1: went to the replay that clearly you weren't worried about anything.
Speaker 1: Because on the field they're saying Jet recovered the fine ball.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go back to where the phone ball actually transplarre. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because uh, I felt like, you know, I got really
Speaker 1: long arms, and I'm like, all right, if we're at
Speaker 1: the one, all gotta do is break its go and
Speaker 1: just get the ball in. So I slipped off Miles
Speaker 1: reaching across and uh making Fitzpatrick. As I was bringing
Speaker 1: it back, he came and kind of hit it out,
Speaker 1: But I wasn't worried. As soon as I got up,
Speaker 1: I a signal touchdown, So it was just like, all right,
Speaker 1: let's just wait for the replay. Now. They don't always
Speaker 1: get it right and always overturned themselves sometimes when you
Speaker 1: when you when you talk about some of the best
Speaker 1: to ever do at the goal line, some guys you
Speaker 1: go through, some guys go over. Do you have that
Speaker 1: in your repertoire, like you know from the one yard
Speaker 1: line take off like LT used to do, and you
Speaker 1: know or Walter Payton just get air born. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: if you watch my college him, you'll see me go
Speaker 1: over the top a few times. I got I think
Speaker 1: I got everything. Yeah, I got everything in there. Uh
Speaker 1: speaking of that, As far as guys you may have
Speaker 1: looked up to. Your cousin is Roger Craig. What do
Speaker 1: you think about the way he approached the game with
Speaker 1: the high step, and you always watch Roger Craig, those
Speaker 1: legs were high. Yeah. See, it's kind of we kind
Speaker 1: of have different running styles. Like he has a high step,
Speaker 1: but me, I'm real smooth, I got real long strides.
Speaker 1: So um, it's it's kindkind of different. But you know,
Speaker 1: just watching him growing up, I took probably of me
Speaker 1: being able to do everything, block a running and catch
Speaker 1: so um, and him like he's such a good he's
Speaker 1: such a great running back. I feel like he deserves
Speaker 1: to be in the Hall of Fame. And um, just
Speaker 1: for him to always and still that confidence in me
Speaker 1: and tell me that, you know, I can contact him
Speaker 1: whenever I need anything, and for him to always be
Speaker 1: telling me good luck and good game and everything that
Speaker 1: just I meant the world to me growing up. So yeah,
Speaker 1: he means that means a lot. Talk about one of
Speaker 1: the best dual threat um quarterbacks, me running backs ever
Speaker 1: to play the game, those long just saying you've got
Speaker 1: those long shots like Eric Diggerson. He was more up top,
Speaker 1: you know. But when when you think about when I
Speaker 1: watched the game, I saw an interesting personnel that I
Speaker 1: was hoping that you guys would would would use, and
Speaker 1: that's you're a Michael Carter in the backfield. You know.
Speaker 1: Two of those big runs was him kind of going
Speaker 1: out there and really laying out you know, force you know,
Speaker 1: from the secondary perspective, putting a running back on a
Speaker 1: cornerback and safety opposed to put in a receiver on
Speaker 1: a cornerback, or say, now he did it for you
Speaker 1: this week, now should we expect next week? You know
Speaker 1: you're going out there doing your best at impression. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm always willing to go return the favor. You know,
Speaker 1: me and him, we've been really unselfish throughout this whole
Speaker 1: you know process. You know, I'm always rooting for him.
Speaker 1: He's always rooting for me. No matter you know who
Speaker 1: who's getting the ball. I feel like the coaches just
Speaker 1: go off who has a hot hand at the time
Speaker 1: of the world were we both can do everything, So
Speaker 1: no matter who the coaches want the game at the time,
Speaker 1: we both can get the job done. So, you know,
Speaker 1: me and him have a great relationship and as much
Speaker 1: of a competition that it is between us, we use
Speaker 1: that to you know, put each other to get better.
Speaker 1: You know, we're always critiquing each other and you know,
Speaker 1: telling each other ways that we think we could get
Speaker 1: we could get better and everything. So it's been fun.
Speaker 1: It's definitely been fun. You told Caroline Hunter Shot last week,
Speaker 1: had you into this game that you really feel like
Speaker 1: you're hitting your stride. Yeah, what has a transition been
Speaker 1: like now four weeks in Uh, just watching the film,
Speaker 1: just knowing that I've been getting better for four straight weeks.
Speaker 1: It's it's just a big confidence booster. And then the
Speaker 1: coaches are, you know, talking to me. They're real to
Speaker 1: me because they want me to be great. They want
Speaker 1: they want everybody to be great. Their heart on everybody.
Speaker 1: They always feel like we can we can do more,
Speaker 1: we can be a little a little better. Um, and
Speaker 1: a lot of different spots. So for me, like I said,
Speaker 1: I'm hitting my start and I'm getting a lot more
Speaker 1: comfortable in the offense. Um. I feel like you can
Speaker 1: tell just from the way I was running the ball,
Speaker 1: hitting the hole and everything like that. And UM, for
Speaker 1: a while, you know, I feel like I was a
Speaker 1: little hesitant, just not being comfortable with the way guys
Speaker 1: were blocking and everything like that. But now it's just
Speaker 1: I've seen everything so much, and UM, I've been in
Speaker 1: the game so much and I'm a lot comfortable and
Speaker 1: starting to slow down and everything like that. So I'm
Speaker 1: just letting my natural talent take over explain. You know,
Speaker 1: the difficulty of you know, different lineing coming in because
Speaker 1: guys block things a little differently, and some guys are
Speaker 1: bigger so they can do it before. Some guys are
Speaker 1: more position blockers because they're quicker. You guys have been
Speaker 1: mixed ms Matt, Mitch and Matchic. Yeah. Yeah, mixing matching
Speaker 1: pretty much the entire every every game this year. How's
Speaker 1: that you know, kind of slowed the development down a
Speaker 1: little bit. You know, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: As a running back, you gotta take pride in just
Speaker 1: being a human e racer. So, um, regardless of who's
Speaker 1: in the game, like I said, we gotta be a
Speaker 1: human e racer. So whether no, no matter how they're
Speaker 1: the guys are blocking, you gotta read and react. That's
Speaker 1: that's the nature of the game for the running back,
Speaker 1: read and react. So I feel like, um, yeah, you
Speaker 1: might have different guys, you might be plugging and playing
Speaker 1: different guys, but at the end of the day, you know,
Speaker 1: running backs all mostly based off instincts. So I feel like,
Speaker 1: regardless of who who's blocking for, you should be able
Speaker 1: to read and react and make plays based off that.
Speaker 1: Do you think that you surprise defenders? They're gonna see
Speaker 1: it on film now because you are a rookie, so
Speaker 1: there is a newness to your game. Do you think
Speaker 1: you surprise defenders with your speed? I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: you seem to get that second level quickly, and I
Speaker 1: think guys are still surprised. They see the scouting report
Speaker 1: and say it's up four or four. But he's a
Speaker 1: big guy, so I don't know if he's got that speed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I do, and I feel like it shows
Speaker 1: every now and then in the game. You know, I
Speaker 1: feel like I can get up on a guy's toes
Speaker 1: and make a miss really easily, or um, just in it,
Speaker 1: or just shows with me running through tackles. You know,
Speaker 1: guys might think, um, they're gonna hit me and I
Speaker 1: might slip off of them, or um, I might hit
Speaker 1: them with a quick move or whatever the case may be.
Speaker 1: But um, I feel I think, I think I do
Speaker 1: take pride in that the coaches like that about me,
Speaker 1: that I had that deceptive speed, and um, I feel
Speaker 1: like it surprises defenders all the time. I think your
Speaker 1: speed so deceptive that you've thought surprised a lot of
Speaker 1: your quarterbacks because you've got that wheel around it's waiting
Speaker 1: to hit home for Yeah, I think you turned after
Speaker 1: boosters on a little bit too too fast? Do you
Speaker 1: think you have you have you been kind of washing
Speaker 1: yourself and critiquing yourself on that How you can kind
Speaker 1: of get a friendly ball first and then turn the
Speaker 1: jets on or is it already are too ill to
Speaker 1: x x X. I definitely could critique myself and even
Speaker 1: if the quarterbacks under thrown me, I definitely try to
Speaker 1: um come back and get the ball, critique myself on now.
Speaker 1: I feel like everybody throw to me, I can, it's
Speaker 1: catchable and if it hits my hands, I should be
Speaker 1: catching it, so um yeah. But I'll also make fund
Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks like I'm like, oh, your your arm
Speaker 1: is not strong enough, I'm out running you and everything
Speaker 1: like that. So uh, It's it's been fun, you know,
Speaker 1: but we're definitely still working at it. I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a lot more opportunities because I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm a match up nightmare for for linebackers who
Speaker 1: who aren't really fast and can't really stay with me.
Speaker 1: So um, it's just coming in a weekend and weekend
Speaker 1: I'm getting I'm getting one percent better and it's it's
Speaker 1: been fun so far. You definitely expect to make all
Speaker 1: the players don't ship. You go back to a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, what you guys are talking about the
Speaker 1: wheel route. You're thinking that you probably should have caught
Speaker 1: that ball a little bit behind you from Joe Flacco,
Speaker 1: but you're thinking touchdown, and maybe that change is the
Speaker 1: course of the game. Yeah for sure. Uh yeah, I
Speaker 1: had um. It was really like a double move. But um,
Speaker 1: I knew that I had already beat the linebacker, so
Speaker 1: I just gassed it and I'm thinking he's gonna throw
Speaker 1: it um over my head. But I turned around in
Speaker 1: the balls right there, but might still hit my hands.
Speaker 1: I'm still supposed to catch it. So it's just a
Speaker 1: little things like that. I feel like I could get
Speaker 1: better and that's gonna make me leap. Now, when you
Speaker 1: think about it, I know you're a fan of football,
Speaker 1: not just state that player. So you walk and you
Speaker 1: look of some of these other guys like Alvin Kamar,
Speaker 1: look at me Edwards a layer, uh, even Joe Mixing.
Speaker 1: You know a lot of these guys that may sneak
Speaker 1: in a player or something that you haven't seen. You know,
Speaker 1: we we haven't really seen much of the shuffle pass.
Speaker 1: We haven't seen like the old school, like, um, you
Speaker 1: know swing pass with the swing screen. Are you going
Speaker 1: to the coaches with things that you did in college
Speaker 1: and trying to put it suggestions so they can get
Speaker 1: thrown into in the playbook. Yeah, I definitely try to,
Speaker 1: you know, sprinkle some of that stuff in there. Um,
Speaker 1: even with some of the run games stuff, just like
Speaker 1: gaps game stuff. I try to sprinkle a little bit
Speaker 1: in there, and they the coaches definitely do listen to that,
Speaker 1: and they want to get the ball in my hands
Speaker 1: as much as they can in every situation that they can.
Speaker 1: So it's just cool to know that they have that
Speaker 1: trust in me and that they want to get the
Speaker 1: ball in my hands because they know I'm a big playmaker. No,
Speaker 1: I know you guys are enjoying to win today, but
Speaker 1: tomorrow you turn the page. I mean, this is a
Speaker 1: big one, right you got stuff yet to win at home,
Speaker 1: but now you get to you know, the Miami Dolphins,
Speaker 1: who's the darling of the NFL right now? They're going
Speaker 1: to be playing without too a tongue about Lord Teddy.
Speaker 1: Two gloves was a jet for a brief moment, but
Speaker 1: it's an opportunity to play a meaningful game in October,
Speaker 1: which will maybe catapult you guys the second end division
Speaker 1: and we'll put the rest of the league on notice.
Speaker 1: Like what's the vibe like even early in the week
Speaker 1: as far as getting ready for Miami and and and
Speaker 1: in an almost playoff atmosphere because what's on the line
Speaker 1: and the hated rivalry between the Dolphins and the Jets. Yeah,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you know, Um, we're
Speaker 1: all we're all human. We all have to go out
Speaker 1: on the football field and play. So I feel like
Speaker 1: we're not gonna take any different approach. Obviously, they have
Speaker 1: a lot of weapons on the offensive side of the ball,
Speaker 1: and they have a really good defense. But like I said,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go out and do what we do and um,
Speaker 1: and I feel like if we put our best foot forward,
Speaker 1: then we're gonna be in a great position to win
Speaker 1: the game. It's a good lesson for you guys considering
Speaker 1: what happened a couple of weeks ago that you guys
Speaker 1: win in Cleveland, then you come home and you struggle
Speaker 1: again Cincinnati. Yeah, it definitely was a big lesson and
Speaker 1: I feel like, um, this week, we even just coming
Speaker 1: in today, we have more of a sense of urgency,
Speaker 1: and guys were a lot more locked in. UM, and
Speaker 1: we haven't even really started to prep for them yet.
Speaker 1: Just in general, UM, I feel like this week we're
Speaker 1: not gonna take it for granted and we're gonna I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna push ourselves even harder just because just
Speaker 1: because we knew that we came off of a good
Speaker 1: win and then lost the game, So we're we're gonna
Speaker 1: be on ourselves even more. Yeah, being there last night,
Speaker 1: bart I sent something in the locker room a little
Speaker 1: bit different than the Cleveland game, which was an improbable
Speaker 1: come back. You guys get the onsite kick, we know
Speaker 1: what happens, uh G Dobb in the end zone from
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. You guys win that game. But but last
Speaker 1: night it felt differently where you guys were happy with
Speaker 1: the win, but the expectation felt there as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're happy, but we're not satisfied. And like I said,
Speaker 1: we all feel like we could have put them away earlier,
Speaker 1: and we feel like we left some plays out there. UM,
Speaker 1: and this we we're just gonna try to get better.
Speaker 1: We're gonna try to get better at that really starts
Speaker 1: today with recovery then tomorrow and prepping. Tomorrow's our off day,
Speaker 1: so we have another recovery day essentially. Then um Wednesday,
Speaker 1: we just gotta come in and be locked in and
Speaker 1: be ready to practice now. Now, Normally, normally I would
Speaker 1: tell you guys, hey, man, don't don't be over excited
Speaker 1: now and and and kind of play the game during
Speaker 1: the week. But because you guys are so young, you
Speaker 1: have all this extra energy. It's the stops. Throw levels
Speaker 1: are high, you know what I mean, your core, you
Speaker 1: got all that, you got everything. I'm gonna tell you guys,
Speaker 1: going to practice and and and and lay a lot
Speaker 1: of it out in practice as well, because they help
Speaker 1: you get out to a fast start. You're not an
Speaker 1: old veteran team that you can, you know, kind of
Speaker 1: go through the motions and go through it. I'm you know,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you to be the cowlish right you
Speaker 1: gotta you know, it doesn't seem like you're much of
Speaker 1: a vocal guy right when you come in there, and
Speaker 1: you don't have a lot of rock guys, if you
Speaker 1: want to really get a big effect, you remind me
Speaker 1: much of like Brad Smith, Jericho Contry, who that those
Speaker 1: names might not resonate with you here, but they reson
Speaker 1: eight big for Jet fans, every very quiet guys that
Speaker 1: carried a big stick. If you are hight, the team
Speaker 1: will follow. So just a bit of advice going into
Speaker 1: a big game, because you know you want to say
Speaker 1: it's a game like any other game. No, Miami looks
Speaker 1: at playing the Jets like it's the super Bowl, even
Speaker 1: though the rate, the pack, the Pages are our rivalry
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. For some crazy reason, I don't know
Speaker 1: if it goes back to Jumbo Elliott, Dan Marino. They
Speaker 1: look at this as an organization like a super Bowl.
Speaker 1: They hate the Jets more than anybody else in the division.
Speaker 1: So if you don't match that intensity, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a tough day, right. And I feel like, um, the
Speaker 1: older guys are doing a good a good job in
Speaker 1: and selling them us that we can't take anybody for granted.
Speaker 1: In we know that Miami is a good team. And
Speaker 1: I feel like the rookies like our rookie class. I
Speaker 1: feel like, obviously we probably have the best rookie drive
Speaker 1: class in the whole draft this year, and um, I
Speaker 1: feel like we're all taking a step as just being
Speaker 1: being those leaders being those spark players for the team.
Speaker 1: You know, you got Sawce some on defense, he's always talking,
Speaker 1: and then you got me and Garrett who to just
Speaker 1: make those plays and get everybody going. So um, we're
Speaker 1: all taking up taking pride and just being being a
Speaker 1: spark for our team, but spark for the team right now.
Speaker 1: And then the older guys are just doing a great
Speaker 1: job of keeping us um, keeping us humble, and just
Speaker 1: showing us the way for us to be a winning
Speaker 1: organization and for us to just keep taking steps forward
Speaker 1: for us to keep winning games. How tight are you guys?
Speaker 1: You just mentioned Gardner, You mentioned you guys. You guys
Speaker 1: are like a duel, and I see how tight you
Speaker 1: guys are inside the locker room, but extends beyond that.
Speaker 1: Jermaine Johnson comes up with his first full sack yesterday,
Speaker 1: money Mitch Max Mitchell unfortunately went down and that was
Speaker 1: a tough blow. But Michael Clemens, we're seeing him out there. Flash.
Speaker 1: I mean, how tight is this group? Yeah, we all
Speaker 1: were all super tight. We all always we still have
Speaker 1: rookie meetings and everything like that. We're still learning. So um.
Speaker 1: We spend quite a bit of time with each other
Speaker 1: every day. You know, we're always in the locker room
Speaker 1: joking around. We always have our little rookie click. So
Speaker 1: it's it's been fun with those guys so far. And
Speaker 1: then we're all um playing really good football right now.
Speaker 1: So we're all just pushing each other to be better
Speaker 1: and be the same guy day in the day out. Now.
Speaker 1: You know, yesterday we were doing a pre game. We
Speaker 1: saw your ice dop train. Now, I was trying to
Speaker 1: figure out what's the red? Was that Enter the Dragon?
Speaker 1: Are your Bruce Lee fan? Was that er the Dragon?
Speaker 1: Just at people asking social media? All right? So, um
Speaker 1: my growing up, you know in middle school of high school,
Speaker 1: my nickname was Breeest the Beast, and um, I got
Speaker 1: the chain. The idea was just like a b h
Speaker 1: um with claws around it and then like a like
Speaker 1: a bear scratch, like a wolverine scratch, you could say.
Speaker 1: And so we came up with that idea and try
Speaker 1: to there like some like your blood in it, you know,
Speaker 1: the red in it, and um it came out really good.
Speaker 1: So you know, I saw it guy posted all over
Speaker 1: the internet, which wasn't my intention. I kind of wanted
Speaker 1: to keep it low key and everything like that. But
Speaker 1: you know, it came out nice. I enjoy it. Um,
Speaker 1: it's a good piece to have, but you know, it's
Speaker 1: not anything I wear every day, you see, I don't
Speaker 1: have it one. I'm not really a big jewelry guy.
Speaker 1: But it was kind of just a gift to myself
Speaker 1: because I feel like I put myself in the spotting
Speaker 1: having a lot of fun. So my mom wasn't a
Speaker 1: huge fan of it because she doesn't like me spending
Speaker 1: spending that much money, but um, she kind of had
Speaker 1: to be content because I don't do anything too crazy.
Speaker 1: So it was it was just a nice little gift.
Speaker 1: So bart might ask you how much the chain costs,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to okay to listen, all right, I
Speaker 1: got Audori, Yeah, I know how much that stuff? Can
Speaker 1: we keep? The nickname though, Breae the Beast like that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it's been like that since about like six or
Speaker 1: seventh grade. So, um, it started out was just um,
Speaker 1: it was an Instagram name, and then um, I started
Speaker 1: getting all the like notoriety and football and stuff and basketball,
Speaker 1: and so the kind of the name kind of just
Speaker 1: stuck with me and everything like that. So they've been
Speaker 1: calling me that since I was young where you see
Speaker 1: your marketing people gotta put that out there, just like
Speaker 1: you have, like the little sauce you got Halloween coming
Speaker 1: up the Beast. You know, I'm saying we can give
Speaker 1: you like some of Team Wolf stuff. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: It's definitely gonna pretty soon here is definitely gonna be
Speaker 1: big for like branding and marketing and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: So that was kind of the plan with the chain
Speaker 1: and everything like that, So it was it's gonna definitely
Speaker 1: be in the works here soon. Uh. As far as
Speaker 1: your contemporaries, other guys who you don't play with right
Speaker 1: now but maybe throughout the league, who you appreciate their
Speaker 1: game from the running back position, Yeah, my favorite running
Speaker 1: back is Alvam Kamara. I feel like he was like
Speaker 1: my biggest comparison as as far as like guys in
Speaker 1: the league right now, and then um Arian Foster was
Speaker 1: another big comparison that I got. But you know, growing up,
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like I watched a little bit
Speaker 1: of everybody and then um having uh the Iron Athlete
Speaker 1: Crew and finally meeting Lashawn McCoy. It was cool to
Speaker 1: be around him because I looked up to him too.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of guys that I looked up to,
Speaker 1: and I pretty much watched everybody, but you know, there's
Speaker 1: a select few guys that I feel like I'm out
Speaker 1: of my game after that's a good group part. I
Speaker 1: played against Arian Foster, and I understand the comparisons, the
Speaker 1: smoothness of him. They never looking like he's you know,
Speaker 1: um they standing a lot of effort. But he looked
Speaker 1: at him, He's been in the corner. He was smooth
Speaker 1: on his cuts. He was like a glider. Edrian James
Speaker 1: is it is kind of the same similar type of
Speaker 1: runners rare well when I played Edrian James from that
Speaker 1: same broth. Maybe Clinton Porter's as far as so slider
Speaker 1: guys that can stop and start, but it's always smooth
Speaker 1: caught on a dime. Shandy McCoy, Yeah, yeah, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: And Camar I mean, he can beat you every kind
Speaker 1: of way and he makes it look so effortless too.
Speaker 1: That's what I like, is I feel like that's partially
Speaker 1: how I play. I'm just so smooth and it doesn't
Speaker 1: look like I'm trying all the time when I am.
Speaker 1: But yeah, this guy's like that. I feel like those
Speaker 1: type of guys are different just because they you know,
Speaker 1: you can never really tell how hard they're trying, how
Speaker 1: hard they're going, but you know they're their killers. At
Speaker 1: the same time, you got quoted a lot today from
Speaker 1: what you said in the locker room after the game,
Speaker 1: but getting enough and touched out here somebody having testicular
Speaker 1: and Zack Wilson, Um, what was he like throughout the
Speaker 1: four quarters? That's the first time you play with him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's just even hill. You know, he wants to obviously,
Speaker 1: he wants to get out there and be making plays
Speaker 1: and um, he missed me a few times and he
Speaker 1: was hard on himself, but but he's like, yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: be good, like I'm gonna get you. So um, just
Speaker 1: knowing that, you know, Zach always has that big play mentality.
Speaker 1: He always wants to win, you know, and then just
Speaker 1: it's just crazy to see him back out there running
Speaker 1: the round, breaking out of sacks and doing all the
Speaker 1: crazy plays and everything like that. So it was the
Speaker 1: game was definitely fun with him. You know, I felt like, um,
Speaker 1: everybody was having a lot of fun. And you know
Speaker 1: like that, like I said, the last drive, Um, he said,
Speaker 1: let's go score f and touchdown and you know, up
Speaker 1: till then he probably had wasn't having the best best game,
Speaker 1: but we still got to win, and he definitely made
Speaker 1: some huge plays for us. So that's always a positive.
Speaker 1: Bart that's a young group growing together and the bottom line,
Speaker 1: that's what's happening here. Uh two double digit fourth quarter

Speaker 1: Eric Allen in studio with Bart Scott. We just tad
Speaker 1: Breece Hall on here, brief the Beast. What do you
Speaker 1: think about the nickname? You like it? I mean he's
Speaker 1: brief right now. He got to do a little bit
Speaker 1: more work for me to call him Briefe the Beast.
Speaker 1: But you know, so far, so good. Uh. A very
Speaker 1: humble kid guy that you can see getting better every
Speaker 1: single week. Uh. He has a lot of tools in
Speaker 1: his toolbox, and I think by the time we get
Speaker 1: to the middle of the season, he'll be able to
Speaker 1: use all of them. Well, you said it before the year.
Speaker 1: We're taping for Jet Skame Day with Robert Salo, which
Speaker 1: airs Sunday's CBS seven thirty Am. You said that Hall
Speaker 1: it's gonna be your offensive Rookie of the Year. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's crazy because I think he's right
Speaker 1: now he's in a battle with Garrett Wilson as well
Speaker 1: his own teammate because he's made a case early on
Speaker 1: and captured the attention of opposing teams, but also the
Speaker 1: attention of the you know, the the fans, you know,
Speaker 1: the offans of the NFL. But he's getting better, he's
Speaker 1: getting stronger, you know, and I think, you know, about
Speaker 1: the end of the season, if they continue to get
Speaker 1: them touches and let the offense go through him when
Speaker 1: teams there to come out with light packages to try
Speaker 1: and take away the passing game, you know, if they
Speaker 1: can compliment each other. I mean, I don't see why
Speaker 1: he can't have you know, fifteen or eleven hundred yards
Speaker 1: UM rushing and maybe fifteen hundred total yards of all
Speaker 1: total production from you know, in the passing game, because
Speaker 1: before it's over with it, I think they should maybe
Speaker 1: even put them in a slot and you know, get
Speaker 1: him out there with and let him take the role
Speaker 1: of the tight end and and run go routes or
Speaker 1: angle routes or routes, especially if they decided to match
Speaker 1: them up with a linebacker who's gonna play off You
Speaker 1: got two slatting goals, you got all kind of things
Speaker 1: you can give them, you know, jet suits. I love
Speaker 1: the idea that. Yesterday they came out with Kevin Carter
Speaker 1: and Michael Carter and Breeze and uh, you know, there's
Speaker 1: so many different things you can do with that because
Speaker 1: you can fake the stretch to him and hit Michael,
Speaker 1: hit Michael Carter on a on a on a wheel route.
Speaker 1: You know, as the defenders are gonna start kind of
Speaker 1: preparing for for Michael Carter coming at him, and then
Speaker 1: you act like you're going to hit him, and you know,
Speaker 1: you look up and you pull the ball up and
Speaker 1: now you gotta wide open, you know, running back in
Speaker 1: front and vice versas. You can do that same run
Speaker 1: the other way. Let Breeze be the head head receiver
Speaker 1: and be able to against my opportunity. So I love
Speaker 1: the creativity of the floor. Yesterday, I thought he you know,
Speaker 1: did know did a lot with what he what he had.
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't expect very tucking to move to
Speaker 1: to left tackle, but I mean he played and held
Speaker 1: up well. It just shows you how talented he is
Speaker 1: as a player. The fact that he can move from
Speaker 1: guard right guard, the left guard to left tackle, and
Speaker 1: you know, that's just a testament to his talent. And
Speaker 1: I think that really hasn't been pointed out enough, at
Speaker 1: least by me, how difficult that is and what a
Speaker 1: high level he played at. Why is the running back
Speaker 1: position devalued in the National Football League? Because when you
Speaker 1: look at a guy like Hall, there weren't thirty two
Speaker 1: players in last year's draft class better than him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just certain positions you put more value on as
Speaker 1: a whole, and you feel like it's always quality because
Speaker 1: so many of the elite running backs in his in
Speaker 1: his league did not go in the first round. You
Speaker 1: look at the best, who would you consider the best,
Speaker 1: You'll say Jonathan Teller and and and um King Henry Well,
Speaker 1: those are all second round drafts. You talked about Alan Kamara,
Speaker 1: who you know, Breece Hall tolds that he really looks
Speaker 1: up to and that's who he might was his game
Speaker 1: after who he respects a lot um currently. And he
Speaker 1: was a fourth round draft pick from Tennessee. Right, So
Speaker 1: you know, you look at Austin Ekeler, right, you look
Speaker 1: at Travis e t n you know, it's only a
Speaker 1: few guys that were taking high McCaffrey maybe, say Kwan Barkley.
Speaker 1: I can't think of a running back that's starting for
Speaker 1: anybody's team that's a you know, number one pick. You
Speaker 1: know you got you know, Melvin Gordon, who's the number
Speaker 1: two pick. I mean a lot of guys. So I
Speaker 1: think that brought down the value the fact that you
Speaker 1: know you can get a quality one. You know, it's
Speaker 1: a lot harder to find a left tackle or a
Speaker 1: light bound corner pass rusher than it is a running back.
Speaker 1: All right, So let's talk about Zach Wilson. A little
Speaker 1: bit of a bumpy ride there early in the game,
Speaker 1: but what do you think this can do potentially for
Speaker 1: him down the line. This is the first regular season
Speaker 1: game since last January. He played nine preseason snaps against
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Bart He's staring down Pittsburgh Steelers team. Yes
Speaker 1: that was minus Watt, but it had making Fitzpatrick. And
Speaker 1: also that's a prideful group on They still have very
Speaker 1: good players in this league and that place, that place
Speaker 1: was jumping. Bart So to lead the Jets to two
Speaker 1: touchdown drives, they're late for another double digit comeback for
Speaker 1: that victory. What do you think that can do for
Speaker 1: him moving forward? I think it just reaffirms that all
Speaker 1: the hard work he did in the off season was
Speaker 1: worth it. You know, the adding that was putting up
Speaker 1: the muscle mass, the chemistry that he had by you know,
Speaker 1: getting his receivers to come out and train with him
Speaker 1: in the off season. You know, all it all, it
Speaker 1: all paid dividends and then you know he can just
Speaker 1: take a start. I mean he was a little rusty
Speaker 1: at first, you know, getting out of the pocket, I
Speaker 1: think when he still had protection, spending out and then
Speaker 1: he settled down, right, he settled down in the pocket.
Speaker 1: And you talk about those last couple of throws, those
Speaker 1: were from the pocket all time, and you know, really
Speaker 1: manipulating the defense with his eyes. You know. So now
Speaker 1: you know, this is what this season is all about.
Speaker 1: To know, if we have a franchise quarterback and so far,
Speaker 1: so good. You know, now he has to put it
Speaker 1: together on the team last year that you know, blitch Flacco,
Speaker 1: you know a thousand times he's gonna have to be
Speaker 1: able to be able to sight at justin beat these
Speaker 1: guys with his mind, do the small things, get into
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage early, putting guys in motion to
Speaker 1: see if his manner or his own, but also getting
Speaker 1: to the to the to the to the line of scrimming,
Speaker 1: so he can go through his caden to try and
Speaker 1: smoke them out if they're trying to blitz and and
Speaker 1: be able to change the players and get into the
Speaker 1: right protections. You know, that's the next steps, the nuance stuff. Right.
Speaker 1: We know that he can do it physically. He has
Speaker 1: a strong arm, he's athletic, and he put him on
Speaker 1: boots and throwbacks and waggles us today. But we want
Speaker 1: to know if he can do that pre snap you know,
Speaker 1: information where he sees what's going on, understands exceptually what
Speaker 1: the opposing defense is trying to do, and be able
Speaker 1: to exploit it and get his team in the best
Speaker 1: play posts. Do you think the Jets are ready to
Speaker 1: close the gap inside the FC East. I'm not asking
Speaker 1: you whether they're gonna be a FC East champs this year,
Speaker 1: but this is a team that did not win a
Speaker 1: division game last year, and this is the changed landscape
Speaker 1: from what we're used to. New England is one and
Speaker 1: three right now, the Jets are two and two. Both
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins, who you mentioned before when we're talking
Speaker 1: to briefs their league up start right now. A lot
Speaker 1: of people are giving them attention and praise and rightfully
Speaker 1: so they're three and one in the Bills are deal
Speaker 1: with some injuries right now, but the defunding then FC
Speaker 1: East champs two years running, they're three and one. I
Speaker 1: mean absolutely, I mean why not? Right? You talk about
Speaker 1: you know, the Jets in most experts mind maybe a
Speaker 1: year away from another big off season in another great draft,
Speaker 1: but you know, the found day, it's here. They're scrappy group.
Speaker 1: They're talented, you know, they're just inexperienced. And the good
Speaker 1: thing is when they do get experience, they're gonna get
Speaker 1: experienced together. Right, so they're learning and growing together. You've
Speaker 1: got a young nucleus in any given Sunday. You know,
Speaker 1: if they understand the good thing is they're younger than experience.
Speaker 1: They don't know that they're that they don't know, right,
Speaker 1: so they don't have that fear. They don't have, you know,
Speaker 1: that history to draw back on why we lose to
Speaker 1: this team and this team is better. They're just going
Speaker 1: out there and saying, hey, we'll strap it up and
Speaker 1: you know, we'll we'll go out there and fight and
Speaker 1: we'll see what the cars fall when when they hit
Speaker 1: the table. Tyreek heell, big storyline in the off season,
Speaker 1: the Jets pursued him, he chose Miami. He's playing awfully well.
Speaker 1: With that being said, you think this could work out
Speaker 1: for both teams because the Jets right now they got
Speaker 1: a really interesting receiver group that we're watching developed with
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson and Elijah Moore and Corey Davis reminded us
Speaker 1: that guy's a really solid veteran. That's a great threesome.
Speaker 1: And then you're talking about the Dolphins countering with two
Speaker 1: of the most dynamic UH players with the ball in
Speaker 1: their hands in the National Football League with wide on health. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna be tough sledding. This is gonna
Speaker 1: be one of those games where you have to have
Speaker 1: two high safeties. You are are you're gonna have quarters. Um,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna allow them to beat you over the top.
Speaker 1: That means once again that the front seven, you know,
Speaker 1: order the front six, if they're gonna be in nickel,
Speaker 1: is gonna have to stand up against the run. They're
Speaker 1: gonna have to be able to get pat You know,
Speaker 1: Teddy two gloves is athletic. He can get out of
Speaker 1: the pocket. And you know, since the criticisms of him
Speaker 1: was that he didn't push the ball down the field.
Speaker 1: He's now willing to push the ball down the field.
Speaker 1: We saw him briefly in Thursday Night Football when he
Speaker 1: came in for two talking about law. He pushed the
Speaker 1: ball down the field. He's decisive. He knows where it goes,
Speaker 1: the balls, you know. So it's gonna be about being disciplined, y'all.
Speaker 1: Wish you know, I can come up here one one
Speaker 1: one of these days and we can talk about the
Speaker 1: d line not giving up the air. You know, when
Speaker 1: they force, you know, Kimmy Piggott to to throw the
Speaker 1: ball from the from the front of pocket, that's when
Speaker 1: the interceptions came. Too often. They're not rushing and being
Speaker 1: disciplined within their lanes and setting edges. And you know,
Speaker 1: I think in the gates a lot of the good
Speaker 1: work that that Quinny Williams is doing and also um
Speaker 1: also Sheldon Rankings. So they just gotta get They gotta keep,
Speaker 1: you know, tightening everything up man and plugging the holes
Speaker 1: and play a complete game where they do the things right.
Speaker 1: And this is one of those games where they're gonna
Speaker 1: have to do everything right because this team is explosive.
Speaker 1: We can come back and score and the blue or
Speaker 1: just ask the Baltimore rap I'm gonna ask Robert Salo
Speaker 1: about this this week. Do you think for a young
Speaker 1: team it can be easier to play on the road,
Speaker 1: maybe they play a little bit freer, uh, and maybe
Speaker 1: you get a little bit tighter at home. Is that possible?
Speaker 1: And I don't think so, because what happens is you
Speaker 1: expect the stars to be started on the road, the
Speaker 1: role players struggle on the road, um, and you expect
Speaker 1: them to play better at home because they're not getting booed,
Speaker 1: they're being cheered, they're not worried about they mess up,
Speaker 1: they're gonna get booed. Uh. I think that this is
Speaker 1: just they this the opponents that they played. They played
Speaker 1: a team with their back against the wall in the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals, and they were desperate to come out and
Speaker 1: get a win. They knew they couldn't go on three.
Speaker 1: And they played the Baltimore Raven too. You know, people
Speaker 1: know are one of the best teams in the NFC,
Speaker 1: with one of the most dynamic playmakers, and they gave
Speaker 1: up some big plays because they didn't really have their
Speaker 1: their eyes right. Early in the season extension the preseason,
Speaker 1: and they really didn't communicate the way that you have
Speaker 1: to communicate to be a top ten, you know, top
Speaker 1: five defense. You always said styles make fights. So how
Speaker 1: do these two teams match up overall? When you're looking
Speaker 1: at the Dolphins and how explosive they are and the
Speaker 1: way they attacked defensively, well, I mean it's it's bloom
Speaker 1: a bus for Miami. They're gonna try and run you off,
Speaker 1: and if you stand over the top, they're gonna try
Speaker 1: and come back and and get like fifteen yard out routes.
Speaker 1: They're gonna try and get slants. You're gonna have to
Speaker 1: be disciplined. You're gonna have I have to have eyes
Speaker 1: on Tyreek Hill all the time. You can't have communication
Speaker 1: problems that they've had between the cornerbacks and the safety
Speaker 1: is about how you want to play certain formations in
Speaker 1: certain routs. And then they're gonna dare you to be
Speaker 1: disciplined when they send Tyree Hill in motion to try
Speaker 1: and grab your eyes for speed sweets and throw the
Speaker 1: ball over your head. So it's gonna be one of
Speaker 1: those games you gotta say, listen, we're gonna take care
Speaker 1: of the pass. You tell the DBS. Listen, you worry
Speaker 1: about the past. I understand you guys got a lot
Speaker 1: of hard, hard lefting to do. You guys got a
Speaker 1: tough task. Will handle the run because I think Miami's
Speaker 1: thirty one or thirty from the league and rushing. You
Speaker 1: got to make sure that you're able to stop them
Speaker 1: with a light box so that you can have more
Speaker 1: assets and more resources to the pasket. And you expect
Speaker 1: these receivers Wilson more Corey, you see a lot of
Speaker 1: man to man. Yeah, yeah, I expect I expect them
Speaker 1: to say a lot of man to man. Um you
Speaker 1: gotta mix it up though it's probably gonna be mixed up.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be one dose. But you gotta save
Speaker 1: some of those things, you know, for later or in
Speaker 1: the game, you know, all the surprises, you know, And
Speaker 1: and they're gonna try and attack, uh, the Jets, and
Speaker 1: you know, Zach's gonna have to be ready, right because
Speaker 1: they feel like, Okay, we just saw them go against
Speaker 1: the Bengals and and one of the plays that that
Speaker 1: broke the game open with Tee Higgins against his Amian
Speaker 1: Howard just because he's one of the best in the game.
Speaker 1: Don't mean, you can't challenge him, and you have to
Speaker 1: be able to challenge him. And I think Conchlin is
Speaker 1: gonna be very important in this one, maybe chipping out
Speaker 1: because when they have one of those blitzes and if
Speaker 1: you're able to hold it up and you can be
Speaker 1: to check out everybody's backs turn and you leak out,
Speaker 1: you'll be able to get some big plays. Are you
Speaker 1: a believer in the Dolphins? I believe that the Dolphins
Speaker 1: are a complete team. They have a way in which
Speaker 1: they have to win. Um, I'm not so sold on
Speaker 1: their quarterback situation as everybody else is. I think eventually
Speaker 1: this league would catch up with what they're trying to do.
Speaker 1: But you know, McDaniels is a new coach. You know,
Speaker 1: it's not a big book on what he likes to do,
Speaker 1: what his go to are. Doesn't have a big book
Speaker 1: on what his tennessee'es are. But those are being created
Speaker 1: every game they played, and by the time you get
Speaker 1: the weekend, you'll know the best way to try and
Speaker 1: defend them. Whether you can execute or not, that's another thing.
Speaker 1: But you'll have a book on situationally what he wants
Speaker 1: to do, because that's what analytics will tell you. All right, brother,
Speaker 1: let's end here a big picture though. If you're a
Speaker 1: follower of the Jets, you're not over the top that
Speaker 1: they're two and two, But you played for decent, competent
Speaker 1: football teams, so you might have played one or two
Speaker 1: elite teams. And he came out of that two and
Speaker 1: two playing with your backup quarterback in three games, getting
Speaker 1: your second year signal caller back, playing for the first
Speaker 1: time since January, and playing about ten tackles so far
Speaker 1: this season. Yeah, I mean, I think so far. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you thought, you know, when you looked at the schedule,
Speaker 1: you signed up a two and two, you wouldn't be elated,
Speaker 1: but you would be like, you know what this is.
Speaker 1: This is better than expected, you know, because they can
Speaker 1: easily to be owing four or one in three and
Speaker 1: it's a different situation and how you feel, you know,
Speaker 1: they went against you know, you know, arguably one of
Speaker 1: the deepest divisions. I mean, when Deshaun Watson comes back,
Speaker 1: people gonna expect that team in Cleveland too, if they
Speaker 1: get in the sea in in in in the tournament,
Speaker 1: to be able to make noise. We all know what
Speaker 1: people believe about Baltimore in the Bengals. You know, was
Speaker 1: the f C representative in the in the a f
Speaker 1: C champions super Bowl last year. So I mean, all
Speaker 1: in all, if you can find a way to win
Speaker 1: this week, I think you'll grab the attention of everybody. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be huge because then you're going on the
Speaker 1: road for two games, starting with the Green Bay Packers
Speaker 1: and then don Ver Broncos. But for this team right now,
Speaker 1: after four games you got thirteen loft. You gotta take
Speaker 1: it a week at a time. It was great seeing it.
Speaker 1: We'll see you back in the studio later this week. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's a pleasure.
