0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 1>one eight hundred four six nine j e t s

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 1>be a part of history, Greens. I mean Kevin Mway

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 1>had the privilege of covering him um during his tenure

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 1>with the Jets. Uh he played here eight seasons, eight

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:40.920
<v Speaker 1>of his sixteen seasons, made six Pro Bowls here, had

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 1>the great honor of taking him on a tour of

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.039
<v Speaker 1>the new facility here. Boy was he jealous of what

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 1>the players have now. But he he's a guy really

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:53.559
<v Speaker 1>uh changed the game because nobody played center like Kevin

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Mwai did. He was more wasn't Uh. He was so

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>athletically talent. And he likes to say that I helped

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Curtis Martin get to the Hall of Fame. Ten thousands

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 1>of Curtis's fourteen thousand career rushing yards were behind one

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.640
<v Speaker 1>of the greatest polling centers in history, the National Just

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>to jump off that, I did some research earlier this week.

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Out of the eight seasons that Mawai and Martin overlapped

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.799
<v Speaker 1>here in the Green and White, Martin rushed for over

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 1>a thousand yards. Seven of those and the last one

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>was the only time he did not rush for a

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>thousand was his last season here. So a tremendous resume.

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>A great guy. And just to be clear, you took

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 1>him on his tour of the first time he's ever

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 1>been in the building. I just want to make that

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 1>crystal clear that he had never been at one Jets

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Drive in Flora Park, New Jersey before you showed him around. Yeah,

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, and he was impressed, like I said, But

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 1>from Kevin, from a playing perspective, he was as smart

0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:03.640
<v Speaker 1>as they came. He knew where everybody was supposed to be.

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>He worked so well with Vinny Testaverdi and then Chad

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>pennyton Is Pennington came on board with this team, and

0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 1>uh uh, you know, and he played through the whistle. God,

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.800
<v Speaker 1>he was tough to play against. Spark Scott was talking

0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>about it and and some people would say, you know,

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>he played beyond the whistle. And Kevin gave you everything

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:28.959
<v Speaker 1>every single week. A tenacious ball player. And the Jets

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>don't have a center in the ring honor. You need

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.839
<v Speaker 1>a center on your team, So why not number sixty eight?

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Did you know? I found this out a couple of

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>days ago. From the man himself, Kevin Y, that he

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:42.800
<v Speaker 1>started the home of the Jets chant Yes, against Kansas City.

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 1>I guess he knows his stuff, that's a fact. Yes,

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 1>But hey, Jets Jaguars Sunday, Jets got a chance to

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>even their record at the quarter mark at two and

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 1>two at Jacksonville. Team A lot of people think very

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>highly of you know, a Leonard four nets there. But

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>to fund tofully is what has really stood out to

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>me so far about the Jaguars. They are playing some

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:12.120
<v Speaker 1>tough defense number one in the NFL. Past defense number

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 1>one sas number three overall in terms of total yards greens.

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, just to jump off that, I was kind

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:23.479
<v Speaker 1>of flabbergacid when I googled Joe Flacco's stats his game

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 1>and I was looking at his game log because last

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.600
<v Speaker 1>week the Jags played the Ravens in London rashed him

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.840
<v Speaker 1>for seven Joe Flacco through a pair of picks, which

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 1>is which is fine. You know that that's not abnormal.

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.720
<v Speaker 1>How about the fact that he threw for twenty eight yards.

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even realize that. That's like, that's unbelievable. Ryan Mallett,

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 1>the Flacco's backup, eventually came in the game for a

0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 1>little bit there. And the Jaguars defense, I mean it's

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 1>third overall in the NFL. Their past defense is tremendous.

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 1>And we'll touch on Jalen Ramsey and A. J. Booyer

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 1>throughout this game preview. Yeah, becaust John Oscher from Jaguars

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 1>dot Com. I'm just joining us. We also have Rich

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 1>so MEETI coming in here from dot com. Yeah, and

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.159
<v Speaker 1>Champ Pennington will be back in the lineup this week.

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.680
<v Speaker 1>But uh, those are the two corners you keep on

0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>talking about. Green's that's a great name, a guy from

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>the Houston, Texas who Houston wanted to resign but he

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.919
<v Speaker 1>went to Jacksonville got a lucrative deal. And Jalen Ramsey

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:25.239
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people think that he is the game's

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 1>next great corner. All right, let's bring in John Oshure

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>from Jaguars dot Com. John, first off, how was your

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:35.719
<v Speaker 1>trip overseas to London. It was a very successful one

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:40.760
<v Speaker 1>for the organization because that score Sunday morning was amazing.

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.480
<v Speaker 1>We're sitting there in the press box myself and Green's

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.960
<v Speaker 1>here at Mattlife Stadium and we just keep seeing that

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 1>score of rise and rise and rise, and ultimately Jacksonville

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:54.599
<v Speaker 1>came home with a forty four to seven trashing of

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 1>the Baltimore Ramos. Well, you guys know from making a trip,

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:03.040
<v Speaker 1>it's a long trip and a where. Uh you know,

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:04.800
<v Speaker 1>when you're following a team, it's always there. When you

0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 1>have a game like that, you don't expect that. Did you?

0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Wards have played well over there and they've been up

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 1>the last two years and they won both games. But

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 1>you know seven where you're at one point it was

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:22.479
<v Speaker 1>it was seven team first down to one. You don't

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 1>expect that in the NFL. It was truly a game

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 1>where everything broke right. All right. So this is the

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 1>first time I believe, John, that you have not followed

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>up with the by after going over to London. How

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 1>do you think that will ultimately impact the team this

0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.560
<v Speaker 1>week as they come north for just a couple of

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 1>hour plane ride. H So here in New Jersey. If

0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:50.480
<v Speaker 1>you'd ask me that question, uh, two or three years

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>ago after you know, I've been with the organizations since

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 1>they've been going to London and it's been two thousands thirteen.

0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.040
<v Speaker 1>If you had asked me for a couple of years,

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I would have thought there's no way you could play

0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 1>a game after a lone if you're just to drain

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>your body costs off. Uh. The last year I kind

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>of started thinking differently, and to be honest with you,

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 1>talking to players and even talking to other staffords because

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.240
<v Speaker 1>you guys know it affect everybody the organization. Where could

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 1>come back on the trips like that. It hasn't. I

0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's gonna be as big of an issue

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>as I think they originally anticipated. By Wednesday, coming back,

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:35.800
<v Speaker 1>your body conk is pretty well adjusted. Uh. Not that

0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:38.960
<v Speaker 1>just similar to a normal West Coast game. If you

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>follow me. They got back here at two am on

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Monday morning, and the players were off. They were off Monday,

0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 1>they were off Tuesday. By the time you got back

0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:52.240
<v Speaker 1>to Wednesday, London is sort of in the rear views.

0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 1>So uh, I'm not gonna say it won't be a

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>factor at all, but not as big of a drain

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 1>on the body as I might have bought a couple

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.160
<v Speaker 1>of years ago. John, When you look at this Jaguars team,

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty it's pretty hard to not bring up the

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 1>secondary right now sits atop the NFL as the best

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 1>past defense with Jalen Ramsey, a j Bowyer, Barry church

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>A J. Boo and Jalen Ramsey a pair of picks

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 1>in London. But my question to you is just how

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>different is this secondary from a year ago and what

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 1>has made them so effective so far early in two

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 1>thousands seventeen. Well, it's different in the sense of a

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 1>couple of things. Dalen Ramsey and his second year compared

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>to his first, he was very good last year. Honestly,

0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.440
<v Speaker 1>he's going to be Uh. You know, if you think

0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 1>about the Jets comparison Eagle Leonard Williams and he's Jamal Adam.

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.439
<v Speaker 1>He's just an ultra talent. There's a reason he was

0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:53.160
<v Speaker 1>taking in the top five. He's that guy. And adding

0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.840
<v Speaker 1>him to the secondary. Boy was a guy that there's

0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 1>a free agent that was out there, but his team

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 1>was him back. Being a Houston Texans tried really hard

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 1>to get him back, and everybody wanted this guy. Um.

0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm usually skeptical when it comes to free agency. I've

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:12.240
<v Speaker 1>seen it not work too often. But Boy is the

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.679
<v Speaker 1>real deal now. So all of a sudden, you've got

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:18.440
<v Speaker 1>two corners who can really lock down and cover. Uh.

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 1>John Gibson's been to a pro bowling pring safety very

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.559
<v Speaker 1>church short of the prototypical wise old vettery has been

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 1>playing a long time. UM more than that, to be

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 1>honest with you, the secondary very very good. They cover,

0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:36.960
<v Speaker 1>but the past rush they have thirteen sacks this year.

0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Even when they're not back in the quarterback, they're getting pressured.

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.559
<v Speaker 1>So obviously on defense it all has to work together.

0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 1>The secondary is good enough to take advantage of wanting

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 1>to really improve pastor speaking a pass rush. Klaiss Campbell

0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 1>four and a half sacks and like you said, Jacksonville

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 1>leads the NFL and sacks. Um how they've been using Klaiss.

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 1>So I think he's listed a defensive end, but a

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of times he's lined up inside, hasn't he one

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Lee Jackson Yeah, in passing situations they'll kick those guys

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:14.320
<v Speaker 1>inside and first and second down lay at a strong

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 1>side and in his scheme in the weak side end

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:24.120
<v Speaker 1>strong side ends. Um Clays has been a dimentioned free agency.

0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Have been around long enough to see a lot of

0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:30.720
<v Speaker 1>free agents not coming and make an impact. Laiss impact

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:35.199
<v Speaker 1>is he's one of these guys that truly as impactful

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.840
<v Speaker 1>off the field is on. He is your veteran who

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:43.240
<v Speaker 1>is changing the culture. You know, usually your free agents

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 1>never become core guys. They never become guys to truly

0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:52.280
<v Speaker 1>influenced the entire organization. Uh, they're not around long enough

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:55.880
<v Speaker 1>there later in their career. This guy is different. So

0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.600
<v Speaker 1>switching sides of the ball here, let's touch on Leonard

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 1>for Nett. Obviously a lot of Jaguars and Jets fans

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.160
<v Speaker 1>have their eyes on Leonard for Net. Jamal Adams the

0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 1>former Bayou Bengals, and yesterday Jamal Adams said that Leonard

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 1>for Nett d m him on Instagram asked to swap

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.680
<v Speaker 1>jerseys after the game. They agree to it. But for Net,

0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.679
<v Speaker 1>believe correct me if I'm wrong, is the first Jaguar

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.920
<v Speaker 1>to rush for three touchdowns in his first three games,

0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.320
<v Speaker 1>and so I just kind of wanted to know from

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.280
<v Speaker 1>an inside perspective, what kind of impact has he out

0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:30.439
<v Speaker 1>on this offense? Well, his impact, Um, it's kind of funny.

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.440
<v Speaker 1>We've been talking about this this week amongst you know,

0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.320
<v Speaker 1>some of the staff people. You know, if you look

0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 1>at the stats, you look at it, I think you've

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:43.120
<v Speaker 1>got right right around a hundred yard the three touchdowns,

0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.560
<v Speaker 1>you're under four yard the carry. Do you think, well,

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:48.679
<v Speaker 1>is he having this impact that people are talking about.

0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 1>What the answer is, yes, because he's this guy. When

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you watch him run on Sunday, your fid um always

0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 1>falls forward, always gets the most out of her run.

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.840
<v Speaker 1>If it's there, there's prevented the confidence on the coaches

0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 1>and the players that whatever they blocked for this guy,

0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.600
<v Speaker 1>he's going again. Let me ask you about a four,

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 1>A couple of former Jets there in the backfield. I'm

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.800
<v Speaker 1>watching tape of the Jaguars this week, and it's old school.

0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:17.240
<v Speaker 1>You gotta fullback in there on a few of those plays.

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Tommy Bohannon and then Chris Ivory is not a bad

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.880
<v Speaker 1>b option behind four, not, is he? Well, it's that

0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 1>touchdown Tommy here, so uh, you know this is the

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:31.600
<v Speaker 1>last couple of years and not had to pull back,

0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 1>which a lot of a lot of teams go in

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.720
<v Speaker 1>that direction. Now, uh, with this offensive way this team

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.880
<v Speaker 1>wants to run. Tom Doug Mone, Tom Coffin got here.

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.480
<v Speaker 1>It has been clear it's gonna be run. It's gonna

0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.640
<v Speaker 1>be old school. I think that's what their personnel did.

0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Date Bohannon has been a big part of that. Chris

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Ivory running very well. He's had a great complimence at Cornet. Uh,

0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:57.559
<v Speaker 1>they think he's again a big reason why whatever success

0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.680
<v Speaker 1>that had offensively has been with grounded out then that

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.359
<v Speaker 1>whole thing and he is going to get all the headlines.

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>But I've president, I've read yards. His ability to do

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 1>what you guys don't do has been really big when

0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.000
<v Speaker 1>they've had offences grown and pond which Greeds. We haven't

0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 1>heard that in a couple of years around here. John,

0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.400
<v Speaker 1>So what have you seen from Blake Bortles, Because this

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 1>is someone that was a top pick a couple of

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.960
<v Speaker 1>years ago, was very successful two years ago, and then

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:29.880
<v Speaker 1>earlier in the preseason was battling with Chad Henny for

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.439
<v Speaker 1>the starting job. And since he's you know, led the

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.599
<v Speaker 1>Jaguars through two in one record, tied for the a

0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:38.840
<v Speaker 1>f C South lead, and through for four touchdowns last week, Well,

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.599
<v Speaker 1>he's come off his best game. I mean, there's no

0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:48.199
<v Speaker 1>uh if bandser buts about that. Uh, the book is

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:52.079
<v Speaker 1>very much out on place. He some of last year.

0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:55.360
<v Speaker 1>He's always showed us an interception. There have been signed

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.480
<v Speaker 1>in the last three games, and he even dating that

0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.320
<v Speaker 1>the last four games, the last few that he may

0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:05.640
<v Speaker 1>be starting to get past. He got I believe three

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 1>in the last seven games, which for him is by

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:13.959
<v Speaker 1>fartscues he's had on that track. Uh. His body of

0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.360
<v Speaker 1>works indicates the interceptions during issues, it's probably surely to

0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 1>say it's behind them. If it's behind him, the kids

0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 1>got a chance. He's got a big arm, he's a

0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.840
<v Speaker 1>dynamic player. He has a great pocket presence. His big

0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 1>issue has been interceptions. He seeds to be buying into

0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:34.080
<v Speaker 1>what they're selling in terms of home Uh. Always in

0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the series and the kicker, that's the kind of quarter

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 1>event they wanted to be right. He did that last

0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 1>week and really a huge key for this team. They

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:46.080
<v Speaker 1>have a defense, they have a running up. Can Blake

0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Bortles see that guy for the next third teen games.

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:50.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know the answer to the question. I've seen

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.920
<v Speaker 1>growth Blake boarders so far. The one we saw last

0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.600
<v Speaker 1>week is a very good SiGe for historianization and what

0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 1>he can do it again. How has the loss of

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Alan Robbins and affected this passing game? Um, it hasn't

0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:08.320
<v Speaker 1>affected it much yet because of the way they play

0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.440
<v Speaker 1>me they run the ball so much, you're not gonna

0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.880
<v Speaker 1>be a wide receiver based offense. At the same time,

0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Allen Robinsons never one receiver. He's a big guy, he

0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:20.840
<v Speaker 1>high points the ball, he's good in the red zone,

0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:24.160
<v Speaker 1>all those things. This kind of offense is eventually gonna

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 1>miss not having that guy. All Right, John, thank you

0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:29.720
<v Speaker 1>so much. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah wait, thanks for all right? That was John Osher

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 1>phenomenal from Jaguars dot Com. As always e A, the

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.080
<v Speaker 1>formula for this week should be the same as last

0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:46.000
<v Speaker 1>week for this Jets defense that performed tremendously well last

0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:49.040
<v Speaker 1>week against the Dolphins. The Dolphins only had thirty yards

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:52.120
<v Speaker 1>on the ground. Jag I finished to day with sixteen

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.480
<v Speaker 1>yards rushing, which is the same amount that he finished

0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 1>the first half with. So the Jets defense was phenomenal.

0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:00.960
<v Speaker 1>You have to expect. I would have assume that the

0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Jets are gonna try to take away Leonard for Nette,

0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.480
<v Speaker 1>his impact on this office. You know one thing that

0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Miami did and Adam Gates was not a happy character

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.160
<v Speaker 1>after that ball game, a couple of profanities, I guess

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.800
<v Speaker 1>in that postgame news conference. One thing that Dolphins did

0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 1>that I don't want anticipate Jacksonville does is they went

0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:23.360
<v Speaker 1>away from the run like you said the carries in

0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the yards, it just got so out of whack. And

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 1>if you look at the numbers themselves, you would have

0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:33.160
<v Speaker 1>thought the Jets at a twenty point lead at halftime

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.480
<v Speaker 1>the way Miami came out in the second half. If

0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville's downten, they're not going away from Leonard Fournette. I

0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.120
<v Speaker 1>look at the Jets defense and say, hey, if tomorrow

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Davis can play like he did against the Miami Dolphins,

0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:50.240
<v Speaker 1>the Jets could be in very good shape against the run.

0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.600
<v Speaker 1>And it'll be interesting to see what happens with ron

0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Tes Miles comes back because he practiced yesterday or he's

0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 1>been practicing this week from an eye injury. I love

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.600
<v Speaker 1>the Jet safeties. I mean, if Miles gets back into

0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.840
<v Speaker 1>the mix, you have to love the Jets safety. I'm

0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 1>not looking at every duth chart in the National Football League,

0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:12.399
<v Speaker 1>but if you think about Jamali Adams, Marcus May, Terence Brooks,

0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 1>and then you get the Tasmanian Devil, the Tasmanian Devil

0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:20.600
<v Speaker 1>back to the crew. Love the Jet safeties all right.

0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Eight Time to bring in a fellow Syracuse along, rich

0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Smini from ESPN dot com. Rich, thank you so much.

0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:29.520
<v Speaker 1>For joining us here on the Official Jets Podcast. Always

0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.720
<v Speaker 1>a pleasure to talk football with you two guys, and

0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:35.080
<v Speaker 1>you're in studio for the first time. I didn't even

0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 1>know that. Very very impressive studio here. I you gotta

0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:42.159
<v Speaker 1>invite me more often. We will certainly take you up

0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:46.320
<v Speaker 1>on your board, all right, Rich, So, Jets obviously coming

0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.640
<v Speaker 1>off a win against the Dolphins, the defense was very impressed,

0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:53.800
<v Speaker 1>But offensively, what were you most impressed with? Well, I

0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:57.120
<v Speaker 1>think with the offense. I think they show improvement each week,

0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.520
<v Speaker 1>and really that's what you want to see because they

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:01.440
<v Speaker 1>were starting over on offense this year. They have a

0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:05.639
<v Speaker 1>new coordinator, news system, a lot of new players. Uh So,

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I think each week you're seeing a little bit more.

0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.960
<v Speaker 1>The deep ball came to fruition this week with the

0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 1>long past to Robby Anderson. I think Josh McCown is

0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:18.200
<v Speaker 1>doing a really good job of managing the games. I

0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:23.200
<v Speaker 1>think it's completion percentage is seventies. Yeah, so I'm just

0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:27.040
<v Speaker 1>really impressed. In fact, I mentioned that Josh yesterday. According

0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:30.320
<v Speaker 1>to our ESPN stats, he's got the second quickest release

0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:32.440
<v Speaker 1>time in the league. It's two point two seconds. Only

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Derek carr is faster, and Josh has never been known

0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.040
<v Speaker 1>as a quick release guy. He's usually in the high twos.

0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:40.440
<v Speaker 1>So he you know, he thinks that some has to

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:42.080
<v Speaker 1>do with the system, some of it has to do

0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:46.159
<v Speaker 1>with Jeremy Bates, you know, tweaking his mechanics a little bit.

0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:48.400
<v Speaker 1>So I was impressed with Josh. What do you think

0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:51.159
<v Speaker 1>about Morton, a guy who was a long time NFL

0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:56.159
<v Speaker 1>assistant under the likes of Sean Payton, John Gruen, Jim Harbaugh,

0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:59.399
<v Speaker 1>and Pete Carroll. He's working with a lot of different pieces,

0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:02.400
<v Speaker 1>and he's got mccomplain at a high level, and he's

0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:06.000
<v Speaker 1>doing a real nice job with this entire unit. Yeah,

0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:07.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't think it's too big for him.

0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I see, you see a little creative wrinkles. They used

0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Lawrence Thomas as fullback, which was he's actually pretty good.

0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he did play fullback in college at Michigan State.

0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 1>I think he caught seven passes in college block block

0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.280
<v Speaker 1>fill avan bell. Uh. You know, anytime you can get

0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:25.560
<v Speaker 1>a two ninety pound fullback in there, and he almost

0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.120
<v Speaker 1>scored a touchdown. So and then you know, a couple

0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.080
<v Speaker 1>of weeks ago, they had no tight ends, so they

0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:32.080
<v Speaker 1>you in Oakland, they were able to use the extra

0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:35.040
<v Speaker 1>offensive lineman. So you see him adjusting. I mean, let's

0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:37.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, they don't have the it's not the greatest

0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:39.720
<v Speaker 1>show on turf in terms of in terms of the

0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:42.159
<v Speaker 1>talent levels. So he's he's making do with what he

0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 1>has a lot of new pieces too, that's not easy

0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:48.359
<v Speaker 1>to incorporate. Guys like Jermaine Curse came in and Curly

0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:51.480
<v Speaker 1>came in late. So that's you know, he's done a

0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:53.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty solid job. All right, Let's talk about the backfield

0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:56.120
<v Speaker 1>for a second. Here. The past couple of weeks, John

0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Morn has employed this running back by committee approach. Just

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:01.560
<v Speaker 1>what you think of the committee approach and do you

0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:04.560
<v Speaker 1>think it's something that the Jets should stick to as

0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:07.920
<v Speaker 1>they move on here? Yeah, I think it's good. I

0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:11.239
<v Speaker 1>think maybe at times you want to stick. I mean

0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the three guys, basically Blow and and Matt are getting

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.959
<v Speaker 1>equal reps. I mean that the snap counts of virtual equal,

0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:19.640
<v Speaker 1>and then McGuire is getting a little bit a little

0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:22.680
<v Speaker 1>taste every week, maybe about eight to ten snaps. I'd

0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:24.640
<v Speaker 1>like to see more of McGuire. I think he brings

0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:27.920
<v Speaker 1>you a speed element there that the other two guys

0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:30.879
<v Speaker 1>may not have. Uh, you know, I I think it's

0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:33.200
<v Speaker 1>the three things. Their three headed monsters, so to speak,

0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:36.240
<v Speaker 1>is good. I think sometimes you gotta let it go

0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:38.159
<v Speaker 1>a little longer with one guy. If you get the

0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:40.399
<v Speaker 1>hot hand, just let it ride a little bit longer.

0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:44.000
<v Speaker 1>So looking forward to this week, we won't know about

0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.280
<v Speaker 1>math four days availability likely until Sunday. I would imagine

0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:49.919
<v Speaker 1>he's got the turf toe and the Jets picked up

0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:53.760
<v Speaker 1>picked up Trevarus Cadet, a guy who is known for

0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.600
<v Speaker 1>his pass catching frawless out of the backfield, also his

0:20:56.680 --> 0:21:01.119
<v Speaker 1>return ability. What do you think about the match specifically

0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:06.960
<v Speaker 1>here against Jacksonville, who leads the NFL in past defense.

0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I think they ranked numbers the number three overall and

0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:14.639
<v Speaker 1>also leads the NFL in terms of sex. And I

0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:17.280
<v Speaker 1>know Green's over here is very high. On the corners

0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:20.880
<v Speaker 1>A J. Bouyer and Jalen Ramsey looks like a budding star. Yeah.

0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to a scout yesterday from another team

0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:27.080
<v Speaker 1>and we were talking about Ramsey and he thinks Ramsey

0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:30.439
<v Speaker 1>is like the the premier corner in the league right

0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 1>now and will just be like a Hall of Fame

0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:36.120
<v Speaker 1>type guy. Like a Durell ReBs kind of late two

0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:39.280
<v Speaker 1>thousand's kind of kind of dominance. He's really that good.

0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:41.480
<v Speaker 1>I think the Jets are gonna have a hard time

0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:44.160
<v Speaker 1>throwing to their wide receivers in this game. That's why

0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:46.399
<v Speaker 1>I think the running backs, which we just talked about,

0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:48.399
<v Speaker 1>will be important because I think the weakness of the

0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:52.119
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville Dee deepest is their second level. The linebackers. I

0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 1>think you can if you can get That's why I

0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:56.359
<v Speaker 1>think McGuire could be a factor this week. You can

0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:59.199
<v Speaker 1>get him in space in the passing game on one

0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:01.240
<v Speaker 1>of those lineback because I think you can make plays.

0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I also think Austin Cinfarie and Jakins this week could

0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 1>be a factor. I just think it's gonna be really

0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:09.400
<v Speaker 1>hard for the wide receivers to get open because they're

0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 1>going up against two really good corners, So you have

0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:16.280
<v Speaker 1>to kind of manage manufacture opportunities elsewhere. You talked about

0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:19.520
<v Speaker 1>the Jaguars leading the NFL and sacks, So what kind

0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:21.600
<v Speaker 1>of what do you want to see from this Jets

0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:24.680
<v Speaker 1>offensive line that right now is a little banged up. Yeah,

0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Shell was a question mark uh in practice yesterday.

0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:31.879
<v Speaker 1>So I think what we talked about earlier, quick throws,

0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:36.440
<v Speaker 1>get the ball out fast, and just try to neutralize

0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:38.320
<v Speaker 1>those guys up front because it is a good line,

0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:41.119
<v Speaker 1>and you know they have Calais Campbell has four and

0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:42.920
<v Speaker 1>a half sacks. I mean he did get four in

0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:45.320
<v Speaker 1>the opener when I think everyone was getting sacks in

0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:48.800
<v Speaker 1>that game against Euston. Houston was struggling without their left tackle,

0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Dwayne Brown. But uh so they can get after it.

0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:53.639
<v Speaker 1>They'll push the pocket from the middle because they have

0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Malik Jackson and Calais Campbell. So that's gonna be really

0:22:57.680 --> 0:22:59.600
<v Speaker 1>tough for the Jet that this offensive line has a

0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:03.040
<v Speaker 1>really tall order this week. The Jets defense was by

0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:06.200
<v Speaker 1>far the best it's been last week against Miami and

0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:09.840
<v Speaker 1>stopping JGI only sixteen yards on the day. Do you

0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:12.600
<v Speaker 1>think that's a formula that's gonna be echoed against Leonard

0:23:12.640 --> 0:23:15.480
<v Speaker 1>for Nett and that rushing offense. Yeah, I mean, because

0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:18.439
<v Speaker 1>I think there's similar types of I mean, Shady McCoy

0:23:18.480 --> 0:23:20.280
<v Speaker 1>was a totally different running back because he was in

0:23:20.359 --> 0:23:22.960
<v Speaker 1>East West. I mean that that brings in different kinds

0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:26.240
<v Speaker 1>of defensive principles. But last week they faced a North

0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:28.400
<v Speaker 1>South guy and a GI who was very good yards

0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:30.600
<v Speaker 1>after contact. He was one of the leaders in the league.

0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:33.160
<v Speaker 1>They stopped him. I don't know the numbers off handed

0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:36.920
<v Speaker 1>with something rerediculing what sixteen yards I think carry something

0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:39.560
<v Speaker 1>something crazy like that and four nets. I talked to

0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Marcus May yesterday and I asked him, I said, Jamal

0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Adams his old college teammate, of course with four NETT?

0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:46.760
<v Speaker 1>I said, did he give you any tips inside or

0:23:46.840 --> 0:23:49.159
<v Speaker 1>knowledge on four net? He says, you just gotta hit

0:23:49.240 --> 0:23:51.399
<v Speaker 1>him before he gets a head of steam going. You know,

0:23:51.440 --> 0:23:53.800
<v Speaker 1>you gotta hit him as early as you can, because

0:23:53.840 --> 0:23:56.120
<v Speaker 1>he does have speed. For a big man for Net

0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:58.840
<v Speaker 1>can run and he's gonna I think the Jets will

0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:00.680
<v Speaker 1>play an eight man box the whole game. I think

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Jamal Adams will be in there. As a linebacker for

0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:07.359
<v Speaker 1>Net has faced more eight man boxes than any running

0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:09.960
<v Speaker 1>back in the league right now, according to our stats people.

0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:12.600
<v Speaker 1>So I think that will be the formula eight men

0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:15.119
<v Speaker 1>in the box. Key on four NET with this change,

0:24:15.320 --> 0:24:18.160
<v Speaker 1>what you thought about the Jets maybe a few weeks

0:24:18.200 --> 0:24:20.960
<v Speaker 1>ago if they came out with a victory here, You know,

0:24:21.119 --> 0:24:23.880
<v Speaker 1>that's that's a really really good question. And I think

0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to think back to what I had my predictions.

0:24:26.880 --> 0:24:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I think I might have had it starting out two

0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:32.600
<v Speaker 1>and three, so I did have them winning a couple um,

0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:36.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't know. It depends how they If

0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:38.240
<v Speaker 1>they win, you know, do they do it convincingly? Like

0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:40.760
<v Speaker 1>last week? Like I said, this is gonna be a

0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:43.200
<v Speaker 1>close game. These two teams are really evenly matched. I

0:24:43.240 --> 0:24:45.440
<v Speaker 1>think it's going to be a low scoring, defensive struggle,

0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:47.720
<v Speaker 1>all right. And then lastly, Rich before he let you go,

0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:51.760
<v Speaker 1>here is just what's the singular matchup that most peaks

0:24:51.800 --> 0:24:55.800
<v Speaker 1>your interest for this Sunday Jets Jaguars. Mm hmm. That's

0:24:55.800 --> 0:25:00.119
<v Speaker 1>a tough I mean, there's really that's a tough It's

0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:03.560
<v Speaker 1>a tough one. Let me see, you know, I'm just fascinated.

0:25:03.560 --> 0:25:06.119
<v Speaker 1>And I wrote about this, you know this morning. The

0:25:06.240 --> 0:25:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Jamal Adams and Leonard Forbett, I just think it's gonna

0:25:10.160 --> 0:25:12.000
<v Speaker 1>be really key because he'll be the eighth guy in

0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:15.040
<v Speaker 1>the box. Jamal and he and Leonard you know, go

0:25:15.200 --> 0:25:19.159
<v Speaker 1>back uh two thousand fourteen. They were both freshmen at

0:25:19.280 --> 0:25:22.480
<v Speaker 1>l s U, both five star recruits. Leonard was the

0:25:22.560 --> 0:25:25.640
<v Speaker 1>number one recruiting the country. Jamal was number thirty one.

0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:28.399
<v Speaker 1>So these were the elite of the elite recruits and

0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:31.000
<v Speaker 1>they went at it in practice. So I think although

0:25:31.040 --> 0:25:33.440
<v Speaker 1>they're not on each other like like a one on

0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:35.280
<v Speaker 1>one matchup, I do think there will be a lot

0:25:35.359 --> 0:25:38.199
<v Speaker 1>of collisions between those two guys. So that's one matchup.

0:25:38.240 --> 0:25:41.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm really interested loaded topic, and we can talk about

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:43.520
<v Speaker 1>this one for hours, but I just wanted to get

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:46.480
<v Speaker 1>your thoughts. Eve been covering the Jets and the National

0:25:46.520 --> 0:25:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Football League for decades. Um were an interesting spot here

0:25:52.000 --> 0:25:55.960
<v Speaker 1>in this country's history. Well, what we saw last week

0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:58.719
<v Speaker 1>on as far as the Jets coming out, uh, they

0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:02.199
<v Speaker 1>want to be want to be unified. We saw Christopher Johnson,

0:26:02.280 --> 0:26:07.880
<v Speaker 1>the team's CEO, flanked by both they forementioned, Jamal Adams

0:26:08.000 --> 0:26:11.240
<v Speaker 1>and Josh McCown and Todd Bowles has said, hey, listen,

0:26:12.320 --> 0:26:15.000
<v Speaker 1>this should not be about talk. It should be about solutions.

0:26:15.160 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 1>But what do you anticipate happening at MetLife on Sunday

0:26:19.960 --> 0:26:23.200
<v Speaker 1>and then throughout the league? Yeah, they said they haven't

0:26:23.320 --> 0:26:25.720
<v Speaker 1>decided what they're going to do yet. I could see

0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 1>a scenario where they do the same thing. I mean,

0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:29.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if Christopher Johnson will be there every

0:26:29.680 --> 0:26:32.560
<v Speaker 1>week but I could see the players doing something like that.

0:26:32.720 --> 0:26:36.800
<v Speaker 1>I think with that, um, I think it was good

0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:38.760
<v Speaker 1>that they were unified because you saw a lot of

0:26:38.800 --> 0:26:42.399
<v Speaker 1>teams that had some guys kneeling. The Cowboys kneeled and

0:26:42.480 --> 0:26:45.520
<v Speaker 1>then locked. You know, they covered all their bases. Uh.

0:26:45.880 --> 0:26:47.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, some teams were doing their own things. So

0:26:48.119 --> 0:26:50.280
<v Speaker 1>it was I think from a Jet fan perspective, if

0:26:50.320 --> 0:26:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I were a fan sitting in the stands, um, look,

0:26:54.040 --> 0:26:56.160
<v Speaker 1>not everyone's gonna be happy that they even locked arms.

0:26:56.240 --> 0:27:00.480
<v Speaker 1>This is a very polarizing issue. I've seen on Twitter

0:27:00.640 --> 0:27:02.560
<v Speaker 1>and fans you know, they didn't even like that. But

0:27:02.640 --> 0:27:05.119
<v Speaker 1>I think I think, to me, I was okay with

0:27:05.240 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 1>that because it was a gesture of unity. Um. As

0:27:09.119 --> 0:27:11.359
<v Speaker 1>a football fan, I just want to I just want

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:13.520
<v Speaker 1>to write about football. I just want to cover football.

0:27:13.560 --> 0:27:17.639
<v Speaker 1>I think fans just football is an escape. I mean,

0:27:17.920 --> 0:27:19.440
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to go to a game on a

0:27:19.560 --> 0:27:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Sunday and be like, deal with all this heavy stuff.

0:27:22.240 --> 0:27:24.200
<v Speaker 1>And this is very and serious stuff too. I'm not

0:27:24.480 --> 0:27:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not minimizing what's what's at stake here, but I

0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:30.800
<v Speaker 1>think I just want to you know, football, it should

0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:32.920
<v Speaker 1>be fun, it should be entertaining and hopefully we could

0:27:33.000 --> 0:27:37.440
<v Speaker 1>get back to that. Yeah. Well, said ESPN's Rich Somini

0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:40.160
<v Speaker 1>in the studio for the first time on the Jets

0:27:40.240 --> 0:27:45.359
<v Speaker 1>Official podcast Network. Thanks so much, Thanks, appreciate it all right.

0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:48.000
<v Speaker 1>As always, Rich to Meini a wonderful job. Next week,

0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I believe the chat Pennington will be back on the

0:27:50.880 --> 0:27:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Official Jet Podcast game preview. Rich. Always lovely to have

0:27:54.320 --> 0:27:55.960
<v Speaker 1>him on the show. But something that I want to

0:27:55.960 --> 0:27:59.199
<v Speaker 1>ask you, you know, well, you know the Syracuse guy.

0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:02.640
<v Speaker 1>You gotta give him a something I do. House connection

0:28:02.840 --> 0:28:07.200
<v Speaker 1>is stronger than ever that that is a fact. Anyway,

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Something that I asked Rich, that I'd like to ask

0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:14.680
<v Speaker 1>you is what is the single matchup that you're most

0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:17.280
<v Speaker 1>interested on seeing on Sunday when the Jets try to

0:28:17.320 --> 0:28:20.520
<v Speaker 1>even up their record at two and two, I'm gonna

0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:24.399
<v Speaker 1>go to Josh McCown against the Jaguars number one NFL

0:28:24.560 --> 0:28:29.439
<v Speaker 1>ranked secondary ken McCown keep it going, spread the field,

0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:36.080
<v Speaker 1>play turnover free, and give the Jots jetson opportunity to

0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:39.320
<v Speaker 1>be in a fourth quarter game against Jacksonville. Would be

0:28:39.360 --> 0:28:41.600
<v Speaker 1>great if they blow them out, But let's just say

0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:45.560
<v Speaker 1>if it's a tight game. Because I like having McCown

0:28:45.720 --> 0:28:50.720
<v Speaker 1>here operating the controls for this offense against the Jacksonville

0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:53.600
<v Speaker 1>team who has not played a close game in two

0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:58.640
<v Speaker 1>thousand seventeen. Things operate a little bit differently when you're

0:28:58.680 --> 0:29:00.480
<v Speaker 1>in a tight game House jack and we're going to

0:29:00.560 --> 0:29:02.480
<v Speaker 1>react to that. But this is a great challenge for

0:29:02.960 --> 0:29:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Josh McCown and John Morton and company. But I am

0:29:05.680 --> 0:29:11.160
<v Speaker 1>so thoroughly impressed by the Jet Veterans signal caller John Morton,

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:15.000
<v Speaker 1>which Rich talked about, and then quarterback coach Jeremy Bates

0:29:15.040 --> 0:29:18.200
<v Speaker 1>as well. You mentioned something that I'm gonna tie into,

0:29:18.560 --> 0:29:21.480
<v Speaker 1>weave into my point here is that the Jaguars have

0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:25.360
<v Speaker 1>not played in a close game in two thousand seventeen. Conversely,

0:29:26.360 --> 0:29:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to maybe not conversely, I'm gonna say in turn,

0:29:30.200 --> 0:29:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious. I was curious about this last week with

0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:35.160
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins, and the same thing. Votes for the Jaguars

0:29:35.560 --> 0:29:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Ken Blake Bordles lead this team to victory through the air.

0:29:40.240 --> 0:29:43.480
<v Speaker 1>No Allen Robinson, which means Alan Herns and Mark Easley

0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:46.520
<v Speaker 1>are the top options. Mercedes Lewis, of course, you mentioned

0:29:46.600 --> 0:29:49.840
<v Speaker 1>his vertical or his red zone threat six six. I'm

0:29:49.880 --> 0:29:52.480
<v Speaker 1>curious to see who lines up on Mercedes Lewis, Is

0:29:52.560 --> 0:29:55.880
<v Speaker 1>it Damario Davis? Is it Darren Lee? Is it Jamal Adam? Yeah?

0:29:55.880 --> 0:29:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I think it's one and you could double team and

0:29:58.600 --> 0:30:01.920
<v Speaker 1>at times too write. So I'm very curious to see,

0:30:02.240 --> 0:30:05.120
<v Speaker 1>let's say again the Jets formulas to stop for net

0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:08.360
<v Speaker 1>it comes to fruition ken Blake Borders, who only through

0:30:08.400 --> 0:30:11.240
<v Speaker 1>for two forty yards last week. Mind you, he had

0:30:11.280 --> 0:30:15.440
<v Speaker 1>four touchdowns. Can he lead the Shacksonville Jaguars team to

0:30:15.560 --> 0:30:19.160
<v Speaker 1>victory in a close matchup. I'm very curious whoever's plays better,

0:30:19.440 --> 0:30:22.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, rightfully. So we're focused on number on games

0:30:22.680 --> 0:30:24.960
<v Speaker 1>on both teams because both teams want to have some balance.

0:30:25.040 --> 0:30:28.720
<v Speaker 1>But I agree with you, what quarterback is gonna have

0:30:28.800 --> 0:30:32.240
<v Speaker 1>a better afternoon? That's gonna tell you who wins this

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:34.240
<v Speaker 1>ball game at the end of the day. We'll see

0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:36.400
<v Speaker 1>what happens on Sunday when the Jets try to even

0:30:36.480 --> 0:30:38.719
<v Speaker 1>up their record at two and two against the Jaguars.

0:30:39.200 --> 0:30:44.560
<v Speaker 1>But you gotta remember that's Sunday halftime. Kevin Y Jets

0:30:44.720 --> 0:30:49.080
<v Speaker 1>legends will be in attendance. That includes Joe Namath, Curtis Martin,

0:30:49.240 --> 0:30:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Don Maynard, many more. Kevin Y well deserved and getting

0:30:53.040 --> 0:30:55.320
<v Speaker 1>sixty eight up there in the Ring of Honor. And

0:30:55.760 --> 0:30:57.560
<v Speaker 1>if you're going to the game, you're gonna receive a

0:30:57.600 --> 0:31:01.480
<v Speaker 1>commemorative Kevin Y white out rally towel. Also a good

0:31:01.560 --> 0:31:04.440
<v Speaker 1>time to remind you to where your white The Jets

0:31:04.480 --> 0:31:07.320
<v Speaker 1>were green and white, but where your white jerseys? It

0:31:07.440 --> 0:31:09.600
<v Speaker 1>is a white out. You want tickets, make sure to

0:31:09.680 --> 0:31:12.200
<v Speaker 1>call one eight hundred four or six nine Jets once

0:31:12.240 --> 0:31:15.560
<v Speaker 1>again one night hundred four six nine j e t s.

0:31:15.680 --> 0:31:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Before we let you all right here e a final question.

0:31:19.160 --> 0:31:22.560
<v Speaker 1>What is your favorite Kevin Mawai memory? I mean, I've

0:31:22.720 --> 0:31:26.920
<v Speaker 1>asked poetically about what may was able to do on

0:31:27.040 --> 0:31:31.080
<v Speaker 1>the football field, how he revolutionized the center position, how

0:31:31.640 --> 0:31:35.760
<v Speaker 1>tremendously athletic he was, how he was a waller, but

0:31:36.200 --> 0:31:38.600
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't a guy who stood in one place. He

0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:42.360
<v Speaker 1>was a guy the Jets used to get out on

0:31:42.560 --> 0:31:48.120
<v Speaker 1>the edge and spring Curtis Martin free on the perimeter.

0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:50.360
<v Speaker 1>So let me go off the field. I'll go to

0:31:50.560 --> 0:31:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Kevin and talk about him as a leader and my memories.

0:31:55.320 --> 0:31:57.640
<v Speaker 1>My first year with the Jets was two thousand one

0:31:58.200 --> 0:32:02.040
<v Speaker 1>September eleven, but everybody rallied together and one thing that

0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I remember Kevin is that he staunchly got up in

0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:09.480
<v Speaker 1>front of the media and said, it's not right for

0:32:09.640 --> 0:32:12.000
<v Speaker 1>us to play this week. It's not right for us

0:32:12.080 --> 0:32:15.800
<v Speaker 1>to go out there and play an NFL football game,

0:32:16.040 --> 0:32:18.560
<v Speaker 1>and he put himself at the front of that. I

0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:23.400
<v Speaker 1>thought that was the proper um tone, the way he

0:32:23.560 --> 0:32:29.600
<v Speaker 1>dressed the situation. Our city was devastated, and it just

0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:34.680
<v Speaker 1>showed me Kevin his connection to people, and he was

0:32:34.760 --> 0:32:39.040
<v Speaker 1>also so tremendous off the field with his charitable works

0:32:39.360 --> 0:32:42.320
<v Speaker 1>as well. But for me, it was September eleven, two

0:32:42.360 --> 0:32:45.560
<v Speaker 1>thousand one, and how the Jets reacted and how May

0:32:45.800 --> 0:32:48.760
<v Speaker 1>as a leader reacted, and that guy will be inducted

0:32:48.800 --> 0:32:52.280
<v Speaker 1>into the Jets rain model this Sunday once again. Eric

0:32:52.360 --> 0:32:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Allen and Ethan Greenberg here on the Official Jets Podcast

0:32:55.320 --> 0:32:58.400
<v Speaker 1>game preview. Make sure Sunday again Jets Jags one o'clock.

0:32:58.800 --> 0:33:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Make sure to wear your white. Make sure to eat

0:33:01.320 --> 0:33:04.360
<v Speaker 1>your food not at halftime, because that's when Kevin will

0:33:04.360 --> 0:33:06.880
<v Speaker 1>be inducted into halfway. Make sure to get your stuff

0:33:06.880 --> 0:33:09.400
<v Speaker 1>from forehand. We'll see you Sunday in your wife
