1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: All right, let's bring in our quarterback, Chad Pennington. Chad.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Bryce Petty made its second NFL started against the San

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: Francisco forty Niners. Admitted he was nervous early through an

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: interception on his first pass out on the West Coast.

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: Was sacked four times in the first half, six times overall.

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what, he was gritty in the

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: end as the Jets overcame an eleven point fourth quarter deficit.

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: What did you like most about pettis start as the

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: Jets moved to fort nine Leric, I was happy to

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: see the intangibles. I think the intangibles are things that

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: as a staff their hearts to evaluate and and and

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: certainly not only evaluate, but uh teach and coach. You

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: can't coach those intangibles. And so you can coach fundamentals,

14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: you can coach scheme XS and the host. You can't

15
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: coach intangibles. And so I was really proud to see

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: how Bryce Petty fought through the adversity and fought through

17
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: the ugly art um. The game couldn't have done any

18
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: worse for the Jets as a team or for him.

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: It reminded you of the Monday Night game against the

20
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: Colt But Bryce showed moxie, he showed fire, he showed grid,

21
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: he showed determination, and I think that energy and synergy

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: from Bryce bled over into the team late into the

23
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: game that allowed the Jets to come back and and

24
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: score the victory, which I think is important. Yes, therefore

25
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: and nine, Yes they're not going to the playoffs, but

26
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: right now, from evaluation purposes, you want to see what

27
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: your team has made up and how they're facing adversity.

28
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: And it was good to see Bryce and the team

29
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: face adversity and overcoming. I think that's a really big

30
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: positive to build on. Everybody's got a different definition for it.

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: But what does it mean? Do you want a guy

32
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: a young quarterback says he was nervous? Is that just

33
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: meaning uh, he wasn't seeing things very well they're early

34
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: in the game because uh, emotionally he was on such

35
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: a high and you wanted to do so many good things.

36
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: I think, first of all, nerves come from the desire

37
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: to play well and to impress. Bryce knows that he's

38
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: on an audition right now and that his lifeline as

39
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: a Jet quarterback, Uh is on audition, and and he's

40
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: being evaluated for that, and so, uh, you have those

41
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: nerves because first of all, you want to play well.

42
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: I don't think it's something that where you're scared. You

43
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: just want to play well. And sometimes having those nerves

44
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: can make you tentative. Um, it can cause you to

45
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: make a bad decision here or there because you're a

46
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: little bit hesitant or your second guessing yourself. And then

47
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: once you get into the flow of it, now you're

48
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,839
Speaker 1: just reacting and playing. And that's what happened to him.

49
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: The newness of another start game day. It's all different.

50
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: It's completely different than preseason, completely different than practice. It's

51
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: just different because the adrenaline's pumping it now really really

52
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: means something, and you're on the road for the first

53
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: time as a starter. So all of those things just

54
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: part of being a human being learning how to deal

55
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: with those things and trying to settle down as quickly

56
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: as possible and just realize that it's just another football

57
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: game and it's just about executing your job. Where is

58
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: he right now? In terms of pocket awareness, you know,

59
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: when people say six secks, a lot of folks are

60
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: just gonna say, well, it was offensive lines fault. You know,

61
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: as a guy who's been out there, and I know

62
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: since I've been in a locker room for so long,

63
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: is that you know blocking extends beyond that guy's got

64
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: to get open. The tight ends are part of this deal.

65
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: So are the running backs and then ultimately the quarterbacks

66
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: responsible for getting the ball out on time. What did

67
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: you see from Patty in terms of pocket awareness? Well,

68
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: from my perspective, I think those six secs were um

69
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: combination of factors. Sometimes they recovered sacks, sometimes they were

70
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: offensive line issues, sometimes they were quarterback issues. So uh,

71
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: they all went hand in hand to produce a total

72
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: of six sacks um. His ability to escape, we were

73
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: able to see that he made some big plays, not

74
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: necessarily with his feet down the field, but escaping the

75
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: pocket and extending the play being able to make down

76
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: the field throws. That was good to see. His pocket

77
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: awareness for the most part, Uh, was good. It wasn't excellent,

78
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: but it wasn't poor or terrible either. Some of those

79
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: times that he was sacked, he didn't have a chance

80
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: because it happened so fast and your your eyes are

81
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: down the field. And the good thing is is that

82
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: some of those sacks I would be more concerned if

83
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: he was running away from those sacks early because I

84
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,119
Speaker 1: know that his eyes would not be down the field.

85
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: Some of those sacks happened because it happens to you

86
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: so quickly. Where you're focused down the field, you don't

87
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: have a chance to react. And so when he's making

88
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: a sack, because his eyes are down the field, he's

89
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: really honed in on his read. That's okay to me.

90
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: That's where the protection has to be better. That's where

91
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: the route running has been better, uh, for the quarterback

92
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: to get the ball out of his hands. So I

93
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: did not see that as a glaring weakness. Let's talk

94
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: about two plays here. Uh, how impressed were you by

95
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: the running the two point conversion run Jets down seventeen

96
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: twelve late in the ball game. Of course, they go

97
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: for two and they ended up needing that because Nick

98
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: Folks fifty yard or sent this game into overtime. But blah,

99
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: Paul told Bryce before the snap, babe, you might have

100
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: to be ready to tuck it here, and he certainly did.

101
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: He got in. And then when we talk about Maxie,

102
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: how about the throne overtime to Robby Anderson. Where As

103
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: you just mention, if you watch the replay, Petty kept

104
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: his eyes down the field the whole time, so when

105
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: he's rolling left, he never took his is off the field.

106
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: He never looked down rolls left. A lot of people

107
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: staid threw across his body, but actually he threw it

108
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: across his body a little bit. But he squared up

109
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: when he threw that ball and on one on one

110
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: situation to a guy he trust, and Robbie Anderson. I

111
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: think that if that's a veteran making that play, everyone

112
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: feels a little bit more comfortable. When it's a younger

113
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: player making that play, they get nervous. I agree it

114
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: was not technically a complete across the body, across the

115
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: field throw. Bryce Petty's on the left sideline. That throws

116
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: completed around the left numbers. That's only about twelve yards

117
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: from sideline to number, So, um, that's not that big

118
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: of a deal. I was impressed that he ended the

119
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: play and then going to his left, he got his

120
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: shoulders back around, set his feet and made an accurate

121
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: throw to obviously a receiver that he trust. We've seen

122
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: that now with the Rice band under center. He trust

123
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson, and that's important, um. And that's where you

124
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: can see. Uh, the game of football is about that

125
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: trust that you have in your teammates. It's not about

126
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: necessarily the exs and ohs. Sometimes it's just about I

127
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: know this guy is going to make a play. And

128
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson has made plays for Bryce and you can

129
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: see that he trust him in that instance. Um, the

130
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: other thing you're talking about with the two point conversion,

131
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: that's the grit, that's the determination, that's the fire in

132
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: your belly, so to speak. Um, that you have to have.

133
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: And and he showed that and that was nice to see.

134
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: And let's not forget Nick, folks that that was a

135
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: big time field goal. Uh. To be able to make

136
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: that in San Francisco with a game where most fans

137
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: don't think that it matters, to be able to go

138
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: on there and make that kick and put that game

139
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: into overtime. Uh, you know, kudos to him for making

140
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: that kick. Yeah, Putty made a number of plays that

141
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: jumped out to me. I think in the first half

142
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: his best throw was actually a little out route to

143
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson where Chatty threw the ball before the receiver

144
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: broke And as you know, that's what you have to

145
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: do in the National Football League, uh is, get that

146
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: ball out and have trust that your guys gonna be there.

147
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: And as he settled into that ball game on that

148
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: key drive when they were down seventeen to six, well

149
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: before Bilal Paul gotten into the Enzo on the first

150
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: time and Petty cashed in with the two point conversion.

151
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: There was a third down, third and three where he

152
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: picks up three to Robbie Anderson Dunner was the fourth

153
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: down play that I think a lot of people forget

154
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: that that pocket was closing in on him and he

155
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: kind of used his feet, didn't panic and found tehron

156
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: peak for a big fourth down conversion. And then finally,

157
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: how about the Jets had five catches from their tight

158
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: ends of Patty's twenty three completions, including that one on

159
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: that same drive to Austin Sofari and Jacobs where he

160
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: told me in the locker room, that'say, you know, I

161
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: was mad I didn't score, but he actually converted a

162
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: second and twelve. So I just threw a lot at

163
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: you there. But there were there were a number of

164
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: plays from Rice that I think you can look at

165
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: and say, well, they stand out, and that has the

166
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: looks of something you can build off of. It does.

167
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: And the reason that it does is because it wasn't

168
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: about the scheme or the xs and ohs. The fourth

169
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: down play that was an extension play play and over

170
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: time was an extension play. Um the grittiness with the

171
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: two point play, all of those things. Uh. San Francisco

172
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: had good defense on all of those plays. Yet Rice

173
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: and his teammates were able to still make plays, and

174
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: so that's important. That's what you're trying to find when

175
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: you're evaluating the quarterback is can he help us out?

176
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: Can he bail us out in situations where quite frankly,

177
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: the defense does have us covered. They shouldn't in that down,

178
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: but they don't because of the athleticism and the moxie

179
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: of the quarterback. And that's what separates as you get

180
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: older as a quarterback, that's what separates the great ones

181
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: from the not so great ones. And so, uh, you know,

182
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: no one including my self, is ready to crown him

183
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: next year's starter or saying that he can play another

184
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: ten years in this league. But at the same time,

185
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: you were excited about what you did see a little

186
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: bit in the in the in the game to be

187
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: able to bring the Jets back to week. What do

188
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: you want to see from him this week? Is he

189
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: makes his third start now second at home against the

190
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. Chan Gailey, the Jets offensive coordinator, was asked

191
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: about it yesterday, and you won't be surprised by this. Uh.

192
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: He said, I want to get more comfortable, get more confident,

193
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: read better basically, and then he said everything. So obviously

194
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: that's where a coach is at. And Bryce would be

195
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: the first one to tell you I can improve in

196
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: every area, but specifically Chad. For Jets fan and the

197
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: way you watch a game, what do you want to

198
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: see from him now? Is he takes another step forward.

199
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: I want to see two things. First of all, I

200
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: want to see um Vice and the offense get off

201
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: to a better start, because that will tell me that

202
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: he is getting more comfortable. Uh. And then he is

203
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: making progress and improvement on making those reads and and

204
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: being in sync with the things he's being asked to do.

205
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: UM that happen. If that happens earlier, now you can

206
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: really see the progress being made. Secondly, I want to

207
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: see him make more passes and not throws. You alluded

208
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: to the one pass where he's let it go early

209
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: through the Anderson on an out route. I want to

210
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: see more of those type passes because that is a

211
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: pass a throw and somebody's wide open, they've already broken,

212
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: They're sitting down in a hole. Uh, even I can

213
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: still get there. But a pass is one that has

214
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: thrown on time with accuracy, may have to be over

215
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: a defender early and the and the receiver comes into

216
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: the whole. The anticipation of it all. Uh, taking a

217
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: little bit of mustard off the ball and handing to

218
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: some fit and some touch. All those little things that

219
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: you want to see. That our true passes, and it's

220
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: something that you have to be able to do as

221
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback to survive and throve in the NFL. Fascinating

222
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: matchup this weekend as the Dolphins come to town Saturay night.

223
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: They're in the playoff hunt. They're now going to matt

224
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: More because Ryan Tannehill suffered knee injury and he's gonna

225
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: be out at least a couple of weeks. We'll have

226
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: to see if he's able to return this season. But

227
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: the Jets feel like they let one slip away from

228
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: them in Miami early in the year. But this is

229
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: a totally different ball game. Both teams are playing different quarterbacks,

230
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: with Bryce Petty and Matt Moore now the controls. Ironically, Chad,

231
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: this is Matt Moore's first start since the final game

232
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: of two thousand and eleven season. Who At that time

233
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: he Matt Moore was playing for Miami Dolphins led team

234
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: uh by Jets head coach Todd Bowls. It was an

235
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: interim head coach in Miami two thousand eleven, and then

236
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: earlier that season, uh Matt Moore actually started at MetLife Stadium.

237
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: The Jets beat him twenty four to six. The Dolphins

238
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 1: won that last game. But this guy hasn't started a

239
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: ball game in uh five years. Todd Bowls definitely has

240
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for Matt More, like I said,

241
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: lined up with him back in two thousand and eleven. UM.

242
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: But before we talk about more, because you'll have some

243
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: insight on him, I want to ask you about Blah

244
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: Paul unbelievable game. No Denine a hundred forty five yards

245
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: on ground, two touchdowns UM obviously the game winner and overtime.

246
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: He also helped out on the receiving end. Right now,

247
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: he's got seventy eight carry's on the year. He's averaging

248
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: five point eight yards of pop and he's just teams

249
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: the Jets third leading receiver in terms of receptions with

250
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: forty two. What do you make of a lot of

251
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: people now fancy and this guy is great. We got

252
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: to get him the ball more. Well, he is great.

253
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: Will not deny that at all, but I think you

254
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: have to be very careful uh and underestimate the punishment

255
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: that running backs take throughout their career. And the reason

256
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: that he's been able to be so successful for the

257
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: Jets for six years is because of the limited touches.

258
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: And it's similar to Darren Sprowls, where you want to

259
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: have just enough of Darren Sprowls, but not too much,

260
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: not only for himself but also for who you're playing.

261
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: Because the more you see of a player, the more

262
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: accustomed and acclimated they get to that player. And so

263
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: that's part of the X factor that a guy likes

264
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: Rolls or pal brings to the table is that you

265
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: don't see him every down, but when you look at

266
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: his touches, his touches are extremely effective. You know, close

267
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: to a hundred touches and rushing forty up in receptions

268
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: and he's playing even more than that. That's just touches alone.

269
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: So his presence is certainly being felt. He's been extremely productive,

270
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: but you just cannot overuse a player like bal Plow

271
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: because then you lose his productivity and effectiveness and you

272
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: you use him up too quickly. Uh what do you

273
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: anticipate we're gonna see from Matt Moore? And how you

274
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: approach this if your tie bowls? You know this guy

275
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: very well. Uh, he's a consummate professional and that's why

276
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: he's been able to stay in the league for so long.

277
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: But he is making a first start in five years, well,

278
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: no question. Uh. You know, Matt Moore has been a

279
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: staple in Miami for quite some time now, and he

280
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: has actually provided some stability there with turnover and staff.

281
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: He's been able to help Tanny Hill in the quarterback room,

282
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: provides stability there as they went through different coordinators and coaches,

283
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: and so that's that's been very important for the Dolphins

284
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: and Matt Moore has brought that to the Dolphins. I

285
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: think playing him that more, you have to understand that

286
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: you're not going in playing against the young guy. Uh,

287
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: You're not going to just completely confuse him or do

288
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: any of that that you would against the young player.

289
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: You have two approach as if you were playing against

290
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: an everyday starter. But with Matt Moore, you know that

291
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: he does have a gun fingerman talent. He may take

292
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: a couple more chances than Ryan tanney Hill would take,

293
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: and so the defense will have an opportunity to make

294
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: some plays and possibly get some turnovers. And that's one

295
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: thing that I'm looking for from the defense is to

296
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: have a few turnovers. The turnover barrel has been dry,

297
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: uh for the last few weeks and really for the

298
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: entire season has not meant where you would want it

299
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: to be, and so you would like to see that

300
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: happen this week. Is there anything the high coach can do?

301
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: You mentioned it with Patty. You want to see him

302
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: in the offense come out and start faster. Well, both

303
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: sides of the ball and special teams for that matter,

304
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: got to start faster. If you're tied bowls who've seen

305
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: it all as both as a player and as an assistant.

306
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: Now he's in the second year as an NFL head coach.

307
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: Is there anything you can say to the guys beyond

308
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: repeating the importance of it. Is there anything you can

309
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: do to help that process along. Absolutely. I think the

310
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: focus this week is is building on the victory in

311
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: San Francisco and showing consistency, not showing the roller coaster

312
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: ride that this season has been. And these last four

313
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: games can show uh, some of that consistency and and

314
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: have players proved to the staff that they deserve to

315
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: be there and that they're getting better, They're improving, they're

316
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: creating more consistent play and a better product on the field.

317
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,239
Speaker 1: That to me, is what this game, as well as

318
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: the next two after this game is all about. Is

319
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: it's not even about me and a professional football player.

320
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: It's just about being a man and men a professional

321
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: and being as consistent as you can, be improved as

322
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: much as you can, and not let any opportunity flip

323
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 1: by to get a win. It's extremely important to win

324
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: football games. Um. That builds confidence, it breeds success at

325
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: builds momentum, and quite frankly, it puts good film out

326
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: there for you as an individual. That is a good

327
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: thing all the way around, even if you're not going

328
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,239
Speaker 1: to be a jet. So I think that's what this

329
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: boils down to, and you would like to see this

330
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: team capitalize upon the momentum that they gained in the

331
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: fourth quarter against the forty Niners and take that into

332
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: this game against the Dolphins and come away with a win. You,

333
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: as a player, do you really think to yourself, it's

334
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: somewhere in the back of your mind with the preparation

335
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: and after the good feelings of getting a victory over

336
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: the forty Niners and looking ahead so hopefully getting your

337
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: second consecutive win, is it on your mind to knock

338
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: the Dolphins out of this playoff phrase? Um? I think

339
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: it's just on your mind to win. Um. Who cares

340
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: about the other team or what they have going on.

341
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: It's just on your mind and to win. It's just

342
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: such a better feeling for the team, for yourself as

343
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: an individual to come in Monday morning after a win

344
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: and actually feels good about the hard work that you

345
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: put in. It's so deflating to work so hard from

346
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: Monday to Saturday and then you have to come back

347
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: in the following Monday morning with the result that you

348
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: didn't want. That's just deflating, and that's difficult for anybody

349
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 1: to deal with, especially in the NFL, because that's all

350
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: it is about, is wins and losses. We're talking about livelihoods.

351
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: We're talking about families being fed here, and so you

352
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: want to win and you want to have that feeling.

353
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: And you know my argument here is I hosted Inside

354
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: the Jets with Larry Harristy on ESPN Radio Monday night.

355
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: We do that each and every week and we also

356
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: stream a live in New York just dot com, and

357
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: one of our guests was Quincy and Norta. I looked

358
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: at the camera and I said, hey, and I look

359
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: back Quincy. I say, Quincy, what round were you drafted it?

360
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: And he said sixth And I'm like yeah, and you've

361
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: going to copy for right and you went on a

362
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: practice squad. So my point was the two captains, did

363
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: you find it symbolic? The two captains he had out

364
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: Todd Bowls had out in San Francisco were both a

365
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: four mention Quincy Una and then Mike mccagnum's first overall pick,

366
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: which was Leonard Williams. Of course, because those guys figure

367
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: to be corner stones or your future, and they also

368
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: bring a professional approach and their young players. But my

369
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: point about the draft, uh bit to bring this all

370
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: the way around is who cares about your draft order?

371
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: Right now? You have to continue to develop guys like

372
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,959
Speaker 1: Quincy and Nona. Who is the next Quincy and Nona

373
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: on this team? And I'm excited a little bit. I

374
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: gotta tell you to be honest with you when I'm

375
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: watching guys out there like Darrenly make some mistakes on

376
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: some of those gashes early against the forty Niners, the

377
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: first round pick last year. But he comes back in

378
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: the game and he's learning from his mistakes. Uh, tremendous athleticism.

379
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Jenkins picked up his first career half sacked last week.

380
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: A third round pick out at Georgia. Justin Burris got

381
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: his first extended action on defense. He's also a draft pick,

382
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: a guy who they want to see more this week, Chad.

383
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: Then you go on the offensive side of the ball. Uh.

384
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: You can talk about all these young guys who have

385
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: been forced into action this year because the Jets have

386
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: dealt with injuries. But now we're seeing some of them developed.

387
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: Wass Lee Johnson playing at center doing a fine job.

388
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: I think we might have to see Brandon Shell. He

389
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: could start. He's a fifth round pick. He could start

390
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: at right tackle this week and then at the wide

391
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: receiver position. The Jets carried three rookies this year. Robby

392
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: Anderson is the guy getting the big numbers right now.

393
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: But don't forget about Peak, who made the fourth dunk conversion.

394
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: So my point, then I've being a long winded and

395
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: I have a lot of enthusiasm here is player development

396
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: can come from a first round pick like Leonard Williams,

397
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: wh was considered the top overall guy on many people's

398
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 1: draft boards, but also can come from Quincy and Noonaw

399
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: and it also can come from an undrafted free agent

400
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 1: like Robbie Anderson. So these games are all important. And

401
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't think if you're a fan right now, there

402
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: is no Andrew Luck coming out in the draft. Okay,

403
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: that's just my opinion, you guy. You just got to

404
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: enjoy it watching these guys now and then we'll handle

405
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: the draft in April. Well exactly. And the draft only

406
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: matters to two people. It matters to the personally undrafted

407
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: because that is a difference in money, and it managed

408
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: to the owner who has to pay the money. Other

409
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: than that, when it comes to evaluation, the great thing

410
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: about the NFL doesn't matter where you were picked, where

411
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: you went in the draft, whether or not you were

412
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: a free that has no thing to do with anything.

413
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: It is about production, that is it. And so that's

414
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: why you're a complete evaluation process is so important. And um,

415
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 1: when you're talking about rookies, you know, most of the

416
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: time in this league, when you do draft these rookies,

417
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: you're only really expecting some quality uh production, but really

418
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: you're hoping that they avoid disasters more than that they

419
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: produced for you as rookies, because you know, it's such

420
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: a high learning curve. The only two rookies you've heard

421
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: about this year essentially in the NFL are two people,

422
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and th Ki Elliott. That's it. You really

423
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: haven't heard about other rookies so to speak on a

424
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: consistent basis, because most of the time rookie performances are

425
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 1: up and down and that's to be expected. And so

426
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: for organizations when they have these high price rookies, they

427
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: want to they make sure that uh they set the

428
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: expectation level correctly, that they want to make sure that

429
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: their solid production there. But most importantly, we don't have

430
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: complete disasters and we see that we have a foundation

431
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 1: to build upon, and so that that's important. So your

432
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: whole evaluation process, really your evaluation process is more important

433
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: for your third, fourth, fifth, six, seventh round draft picks

434
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: and your free agent more than it is with the

435
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 1: first and second round. Those guys scrutinized so much. You

436
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: could pick anybody and have a have a decent player,

437
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: or have a shot of having a decent player. But

438
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: you're later round. God, that's where the depth of your

439
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: team and your quality of your team comes from. Well, said,

440
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. We're getting some snow up north. I hope

441
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: you guys are staying warm themselves. We we are cold.

442
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 1: We are cold, and we are kind of mimicking your

443
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: weather except for the snow, so I will not be

444
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: bringing any warm weather with me this weekend. Said, uh,

445
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: we look forward to seeing that not. Let's stay
