1 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: Welcome to another installment of Jets Audibles. Eric Allen here 2 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: with Chad Pennington as always okay partner. What did you 3 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: think about the dramatic finish by the Jets as they 4 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: overcame a ten point deficit to the crosstown rivals, the 5 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: New York Giants and went in stunning fashion on Sunday 6 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: and overtime. Well, I think it's important um for fans 7 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: to feel good about this whim because their team showed resolve, 8 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: their teams showed never dined attitude, and the team was 9 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: able to uh overcome adversity. And really the last eight 10 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: minutes of the game was fantastic, uh and then going 11 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: into overtime was fantastic as well. So I think it 12 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: showed grit. I think it's showed determination, and probably for 13 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: the team itself, it showed that, you know what we 14 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: can We can win football games by passing the football. 15 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: We don't just have to rely on the run to 16 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: get our offense going. And that's exactly what happened. For 17 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: the most part. The Giants kept the running game in 18 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: check with only nine until the yards are rushing, and 19 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: the Jets were able to pierce through with their passing game, 20 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: and that's important moving forward knowing that you can win 21 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: both run and pass. So from a quarterbacks perspective, what 22 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: clicked they're late for Rye Fitzpatrick, and you're one of 23 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: the first people to mention it is that he's always 24 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: looked comfortable when the team goes to a temple hurry 25 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: up mode. After rhon tz Miles makes the momentum turning 26 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: play with the interception, there what clicked offensively for this team, Well, 27 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: I think what happens, especially with the veteran quarterback, when 28 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: you get into a no huddle situations and hurry up situations, 29 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: you really get dialed in mentally. And I think that's 30 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: important for a guy like Ryan Fitzpatrick, who is extremely 31 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: smart and and sees the field well. When he's able 32 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: to dial in mentally and be part of the play 33 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: calling and directing a traffic I think that really helps 34 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: him and his rhythm and then it obviously affects the 35 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: offense in a positive way as well. And so at 36 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: the first when I was watching went back and watch 37 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: the game, I felt like, well, the Jets didn't do 38 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: anything in the second half until the eight minute mark. Well, 39 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 1: there was a reason for that. They only had one 40 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: drive until eight minutes left uh in the fourth quarter 41 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: because the Giants had held the ball for so long. 42 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: So uh that was kind of the misrepresentation of the 43 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: Jets offense and just a good job of the Giants 44 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: holding the football on offense as well as the Jets 45 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: making some key penalties to keep drives alive. And so 46 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,119 Speaker 1: the Jet's office didn't really have opportunities until that eight 47 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: minute mark when they were down uh ten points at 48 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and they were able to establish a 49 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: rhythm and get back into sync and do some great 50 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: things and end up going into overtime to win the game. Well, 51 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 1: looking back at that first drive at twenty a time, 52 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: he got Decker involved right off the bat, and he 53 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: kept on going to him and the Jets moved down 54 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: the field and eventually cashed in with the field goal. 55 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: Did the Giants started start to play a little bit 56 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: differently in the secondary as far as a little bit 57 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: more off for Decker was just beating coverage there. He 58 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: was certainly beating coverage. And I think we have to 59 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: give coach Gaily credit sometimes as coordinators, we can overthink 60 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: ourselves as coordinators and think we have to be so 61 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: multiple in our play calling, and you can see that 62 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: throughout both of those drives, he went back to play 63 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: that had already worked. And it's one of those things 64 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: as if hitter and play caller you were saying, hey, 65 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: until you stop it, I'm going to run the same things. 66 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened. You saw. The Jets have 67 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: a lot of success, in my opinion, in two areas. 68 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: In the empty package, they had success uh down the 69 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: field as well as short throws. And then their screen 70 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: package really paid dividends for them early in the game 71 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: and late in the game, being able to create plays 72 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: um and explosive plays with just simple screen calls, which 73 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: is important. That slows down the pass rush, gets the 74 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: ball out of Fitzpatrick's hand early, and and really controls 75 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: the tempo of the defense. So what can that do 76 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: for this team moving forward? Like you just mentioned the 77 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: screen packages, blal Paul looks really fresh. You pointed it 78 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: out after the Houston game. You'll like what you saw 79 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: of him in the loss. Now a couple of weeks later, 80 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: the Jets have suddenly won two games in a row 81 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: and he has become a real threat out of the 82 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: backfield in the past game. Well, he's an extension of 83 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: the running game for Chris Ivory. Not only can blal 84 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: Paule do some damage in the running game, now he's 85 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: an extension of that running game, a short passing game, 86 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: whether it be screenplays, checkdowns, or even matchups out on 87 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: the perimeter. He creates another advantage for the Jets offense, 88 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: which is extremely important. We know that the running game 89 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: has been solid all year and we've said that, but 90 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: that this Jets seemed to take the next step and 91 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: making their playoff run. They have to prove that they 92 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: can be consistent in the passing game, and I think 93 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: the last two weeks they have done that. The passing 94 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: game has made big, big plays, and I think that 95 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: will serve them well into these last four games of 96 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: the season. Knowing that no matter what the situation is, 97 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: uh in what situation we find ourselves in as a team, 98 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: I think the Jets feel like they have a chance 99 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: to win because all facets of the offense have proven 100 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: that they can be productive. How much pressure doesn't put 101 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: on the defense right now, what Brandon Marshall and Eric 102 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: Ducker continue to do. Last game against the Giants is 103 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: the first are wide receiver dual for the Jets since 104 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: all the way back to Wesley Walker. Now, tun Wow, 105 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: that's a stat for you there. That's impressive, um, And 106 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: I think that first of all, with both of their production, 107 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: I think first of all, it leads to the fact 108 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: that fitz Patrick is an equal opportunity quarterback. He's going 109 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: to read the coverage. He is going to make sure 110 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: that he takes what the defense is giving him. And 111 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: both receivers aren't pressing. They trust Fitzpatrick that throughout the 112 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: game they will get their chances, their opportunities. So no 113 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: one's pressing right now within this offense. They're letting the 114 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: place come to them when they come and when those 115 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: opportunities happen. That's that's number one. Number two. For two 116 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: weeks now, we've seen a young receiver make a couple 117 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: of plays in the passing game, and Noir made two 118 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: plays in the passing game, which was important. The week 119 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: before Smith made two plays. And now you add Pal 120 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: as that third option that really creates an advantage for 121 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: the Jets offense. You played against Fitzpatrick when you were 122 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 1: a player. Obviously you were preparing for opposing defenses, But 123 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: what have you seen from him now through twelve games, 124 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: because you break down the tape each and every week, 125 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: and what have you seen from him that has impressed 126 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: you As far as his development as a player that 127 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: maybe the Ryan Fitzpatrick we saw three or four years ago. Well, 128 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: I think number one, he is finally in tune with 129 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: what his strengths are. And to me, first of all, 130 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: his number one strength is his mind and delivering the 131 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: football with anticipation and accuracy and not forcing throws uh 132 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: that he doesn't need to force. That's number one. Number two, 133 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: he's done a really good job of just seizing the opportunity, 134 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: whether it be with his arm or with his legs. 135 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: He has made big plays. And think of the fourth 136 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: down in sixth play on Sunday that was with his legs. 137 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: That was a veteran move to say the coverage is there, 138 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: Well us, don't just throw it up for hope in prayer. 139 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: I've got a chance to get six yards and he does. Uh. 140 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: That comes with experience, knowing when to run, when not 141 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: to run, and at the right time to run. I 142 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: think that's that's extremely important. The third thing that I've 143 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: seen that's been really impressive for me is that he 144 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: has really become a solid passer. And there's two plays 145 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: that bring that to mind. Number one against the Dolphins, 146 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: the corner throw to Brandon Marshall early in the game 147 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: was was an amazing pass. Knowing the type of durest 148 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: that he was under and how early he actually threw 149 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: the ball, that was fantastic. And then and over time 150 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: on Sunday on third and two on a bootleg pass, 151 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: he hits Eric Decker and if you go back and 152 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: watch the film, that was not a missile of a throw. 153 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: That was not a hundred mile hour throw. It was 154 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: a soft touch throw thrown before Decker came out of 155 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: his break, ends up on the sideline of where Decker 156 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: can catch it or No. One. It was a huge 157 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: first down conversion. That that is the difference in throwing 158 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: this football and passing the football, and that's in the 159 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: area that it's packed. Fitzpatrick has really elevated his game. 160 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 1: You were such a great red zone player yourself, and 161 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: we talk about it every week, but I want to 162 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,359 Speaker 1: look at it from a total package, the whole perspective. 163 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: How impressive is it right now for this Jets team 164 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: to be leading the NFL, not only in touchdown efficiency offensively, 165 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: but they're also doing that defensively. Their number one in 166 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: the league in red zone and both units well. And 167 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: that's why they're seven and five, I think because the 168 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: defensive has kept opponents out of the end zone as 169 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: far as touchdowns are concerned. And offensively, the opportunities that 170 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: they have gotten they've really turned into points and touchdowns 171 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: and that's important and and so that bodes well for 172 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: the last four games because these next four games, uh, 173 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,599 Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to predict what exactly is 174 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: going to happen, but you've got to know that when 175 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: I when the Jets are in the red zone, they 176 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: have proven that they can score touchdowns and score them 177 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: uh consistently. And when the Jets defense is in the 178 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: red zone, they have proven that they can turn those 179 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: touchdown opportunities at least into field goals. And that's that's 180 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: the difference between winning and losing in the month of December. 181 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: It comes down to those finite categories. A very strange 182 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: game obviously on Sunday, like you mentioned, the Jets didn't 183 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: have a lot of opportunities with the football in the 184 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: second half because the Giants held the ball for eleven 185 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: twenty one partner. Obviously, they converted a couple of times 186 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: on third down. A number of penalties really hurt the Jets, 187 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: but they came through when they needed it most with 188 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: Ron tays Miles interception that really changed the ball game. 189 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: But were you impressed or what do you think this 190 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: coaching staff did from a defensive adjustment perspective, because the 191 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: Jets gave up some big passing plays in the first half. 192 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: O'dal Backham got his yards in this game. But one 193 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: of the things that guys were saying on Monday Chad 194 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: was early on, we played a lot of zone. Then 195 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: in the second half we kind of switched some things up. 196 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: We played some more man Remember this team was down 197 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: without without Darrell Revas, who for a second consecutive game 198 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: was a concussion protocol. Marcus Williams, who leads a team 199 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: of five interceptions, he didn't play, and then Calvin Pryor 200 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: has become a force in the second year. He was 201 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: out with a stinger as well. Well. I can completely 202 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: agree with the players, and I think it was a 203 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: great adjustment. I think the Jets went in knowing their 204 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: injury situation in the defensive backfield, team, we probably will 205 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 1: need to play more zone to protect ourselves. And then 206 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: they made an adjustment. The staff made adjustment thing, you 207 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: of what we can actually cover these guys. We feel 208 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: much better about our coverage situation, and maybe the Giants 209 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: receiving core as a core is not as good or 210 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: we're giving them too much credit. And so they changed 211 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: and that's exactly what I saw. I saw more man 212 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 1: the man coverages as the game progressed, and it it 213 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: went well for the Jets in that area, and they 214 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: covered extremely well in man the man defensive situations. And 215 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: so that was a great adjustment by the staff to 216 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: make that adjustment and go away from what they thought 217 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: the game plan would be about. And then the players 218 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: responded and made it happen a very emotional locker room. 219 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: And you know the way Todd Bowls is going to be, 220 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: uh considering uh, he was down there in Miami with 221 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: you when you were a Dolphin, and you know his 222 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: approach because you worked for his mentors like a guy 223 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: like Bill parselves. But with all that being said, coming 224 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: back from ton points down for just a ton time 225 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: and franchise history, when you're down by ton or more 226 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:04,239 Speaker 1: in the fourth core order, beating the Giants, finishing emotional 227 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: locker room. What could this do for the team as 228 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: it enters the final quarter. Well, I think I think 229 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,839 Speaker 1: the biggest um the point of this game and how 230 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,719 Speaker 1: this game evolved and turned out, was that the Jets know, 231 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: if there's time on the clock, we have a chance 232 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: to win. Whether it be our defense making a big stop, 233 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: coming up with a big play, we've done that. Whether 234 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: it be our offense, uh, putting the couple drives together 235 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: and taking our team into into overtime or winning games, 236 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: we've done that. So now they have proof and what 237 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 1: the coaches have been preaching, and that's important for a team. 238 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: It's it's one thing to hear it and to talk 239 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: about it. It's another thing to be about it and 240 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: to actually have proof that you've done it. And this 241 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: team they have done it. They've been in multiple situations 242 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: where adversity has struck and they've been able to answer 243 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: the call. And so this is another example of them 244 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: being able to answer call. Mind you, not only did 245 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: they come back from ten down in the fourth quarter, 246 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: it was ten down with eight minutes left. That that's 247 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: big time. That's that's very very difficult to do and 248 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: they were able to do that. All right, Let's take 249 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: a couple of Twitter questions on Jets audibles for Chad 250 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: penny Tin. Rob writes in and asked, where's the breakdown 251 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: of the run game? Offensive line and Ivory have appeared 252 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: to hit the wall in recent games. Before you take that, 253 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: I just want to tell you, Chad that Chris Ivory 254 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: had ten carries for forty seven yards. So those numbers 255 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: weren't that bad, not at all. I didn't feel like 256 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: the run game was bad. I felt like the run 257 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: game was successful. It's just that the opportunities because of 258 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: the game and the type of game it was, the 259 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: opportunities were there in the passing game. That's why you 260 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: had fifty attempts. I thought the running game was efficient. 261 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: It wasn't great stats, It wasn't a d fifty yard day. 262 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: It was efficient. And when you watch the game, you 263 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: see that the Giants they were having eight men in 264 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: the box. Safeties were blitzing off the edge. Receivers couldn't 265 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: even get to the eighth element and trying to block 266 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: the eighth men in the box because they were coming 267 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: off the line of scrimmage and the receivers weren't able 268 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: to take care of that issue. So that's why the 269 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: Jets then had to go use the empty package, used 270 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: the spread packages, use the screen game as an extension 271 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: of the running game. That's what's great about an offense 272 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: when it can find ways to complement its defense by 273 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: finding other ways than your typical ways to produce, whether 274 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: it be the screen game, short passing game, uh, the 275 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: draw game, you name it. Uh, that's what you're looking 276 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: in for an offense. It's not necessarily your run of 277 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: the mill statistics that you're looking for. You're just looking 278 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: to see can an offense be efficient and effective in 279 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: all areas? And and that's that's what the Jets have 280 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: been able to find, that they've been able to find 281 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: success in different areas of their offense. And you were 282 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: a tough guy, as most quarterbacks are, but he makes 283 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: the National Football League. Most guys are mentally a physically 284 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: tough How much do you appreciate the way fits attacks 285 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: it out there? His mentality because he took some vicious 286 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: shots early in that ballgame, he kept on getting up. Well, 287 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: I'm always worried because I never want to see him 288 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: take an unnecessary hit I know that those hits add 289 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: up over time, and it only takes one to take 290 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: you out of the game. So I love the grittiness. 291 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: I love the opportunistic attitude. I always want to see 292 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: him just protect himself because the Jets are at their 293 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: best when he is behind center right now, and if 294 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: he has to suffer a hit that takes him out, 295 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: that doesn't bode well for the Jets in my opinion. So, 296 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: but there's no doubt I love the attitude that he 297 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: has had to be able to play with the injury 298 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: that he's had. Uh. I don't think people are talking 299 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: about that enough. That's extremely difficult to go through the 300 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: adversity that he's faced from the injury standpoint and to 301 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: play actually and to actually improve. He is improving as 302 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: the season moves forward and going into this uh these 303 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: last four games, I think you feel good when you 304 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: watch his quarterback play that it's not stale and it's 305 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: not declining. He's actually on the incline and on the 306 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: rise as far as his play as a quarterback in 307 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: this system. Frank wants to know one of the things 308 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: the Jets need to clean up the most in your mind, Well, 309 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: Number one it's special teams. UH. They must clean up 310 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 1: the special team's miscus uh and clean up the return 311 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: yardage from the opponent. I think once you show that 312 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: you have that weakness, teams put an emphasis on it. 313 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: Tom Coughlin told Dan Fouts, we have an advantage in 314 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: the return game, and they were proven right. And until 315 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: the Jets proved the opponent wrong, you will see an 316 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: emphasis put on the return game UH and special teams. 317 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: So that to me is number one, because that is 318 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: a game changer that can that's the difference in winning 319 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: and losing. Is the simple return yard is because you 320 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: don't see that in statistics. Those are hidden yards that 321 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: create field position and create points. You've got to address 322 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: that as a team. And then secondly, I think they 323 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: just have to clean up those missques, whether it be 324 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 1: a bust of coverage, holding penalty on offense, or a 325 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: defensive hold or passing appearance on defense that are keeping 326 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: drives alive or making drives a stop. Those are the 327 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: simple things that you have to clean up to make 328 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: sure that if you're getting stopped, or you're getting u 329 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: or you're not being able to stop someone, it's because 330 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: that they're just flat better than you. But when you 331 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: are allowing drives to stay alive, or you're not staying 332 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: on the field because of your own mistakes, those are 333 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: things that you have to clean up. All right, David's 334 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: coming at you with some stats here. He writes, six 335 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: of the seven Jets wins came when they scored ten 336 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: or more points in the first half. What can the 337 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: Jets do to get off the offense and rhythm and 338 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: get more first half scores. Well, that's that's a good point. 339 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: I think that if you look back at us think 340 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: you will probably find that a lot of those points 341 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: have come at the end of the second quarter. They've 342 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: been really efficient in two minute drives and trying to 343 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: score points before the half. So, um, not to be nitpicky, 344 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: but if you'd like to see a better start, it 345 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: certainly would be in the first quarter. But we all 346 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: know that it's not how you started, how you finish, 347 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: and they're doing a good job of finishing. So if 348 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: we really being nitpicky, you would at least want to see, 349 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: even if it's not points eric in the first quarter, 350 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 1: you would want to see a couple of drives. There 351 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: are seven and eight play drives. Number one that's important 352 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: for your defense. And then number two, it's important for 353 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: your offense to gain a little a little rhythm even 354 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: if it's not scoring. Alright, So fast forward to this week, buddy, 355 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: UH Jets are seven to five. They're hosting a three 356 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 1: and nine Tennessee. Eaton's team was coming off of victory, 357 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: and they have a rookie quarterback that I know you 358 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: got a little bit familiar with UM, probably an indie 359 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: at the scouting combine. And PAULI asks, how does New 360 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: York stop Marcus Mariotta? Well, this is a complete trap game. 361 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: Three and nine team, UH coming in for seven and 362 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 1: five team at home, making a playoff run, complete trap game. 363 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 1: I have lost one of these games before. Luckily in 364 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: two thousand and six one played Buffalo seven and five 365 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: at our place. We lost, and we were lucky enough 366 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: to and good enough to win the last three to 367 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 1: get to tennis six and make it in. But this 368 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: is a complete trap game for the Jets, and you 369 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: certainly UM wants to make sure that you have a 370 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: complete total team victory, and it's going to take that. 371 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: I think when you're facing a young quarterback, especially like 372 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariotta, you can't allow him to make plays with 373 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: his feet. Uh. He proved Sunday that he has an opportunity. 374 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: He has a he's very opportunistic with his feet with 375 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: a huge touchdown run then he had against Jaguars. So 376 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: it's important that you contain him in the pocket, forced 377 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: him to be a passer on all downs. Don't just 378 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: rush past him. Make sure you push the pocket up 379 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: in the middle, keep him in that pocket and make 380 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: and see if he can be consistent for four quarters 381 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: and making solid reads. I think that's number one partner. 382 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: Has his accuracy impressed you? Because we know he was 383 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: a tremendous athlete, but a lot of uh times at Oregon, 384 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: I really didn't know what I was looking at because 385 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: you know this a lot of these big D one 386 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: programs they can out athlete other schools at times, and 387 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: there aren't a lot of reads. But on the pro 388 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: level now and I know they probably simplified this offensive 389 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: system because he's a rookie. He's still putting up impressive 390 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: numbers as far as completion percentage is concerned, and he's 391 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: only thrown nine in substance so far. Well, I agree 392 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: with you, Eric, I think that his accuracy has been 393 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: something that's been impressive, and um, I think the Titans 394 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: should be happy about that and and pleasantly surprised and 395 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: impressed by that, because I agree with you and the 396 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: spread systems in college, a lot of these receivers are 397 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: sitting there wide open and not a defender with him 398 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: three or four yards of them. And and he's been 399 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: able to make some some big time throws in in 400 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: certain situations that are good passes and that our accurate 401 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: passes with anticipation and they have the right accuracy. And 402 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: so that's important to see when you're trying to develop 403 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: a quarterback. Uh, it's one thing to just be able 404 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: to throw against air, but can you hit what you're 405 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: aiming at when the lights are on? And he's starting 406 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,959 Speaker 1: to prove that he's probably a better pastor than what 407 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: most analysts thought he was coming out of college. Yeah, 408 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what defensively their front can get 409 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: after you're talking about is like Casey Brian and rack 410 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: Ball coming off the edge. I believe they're tied for 411 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 1: fifth in the National Football League in sacks and gave 412 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: up a lot of passing yards last week to Jacksonville. 413 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: So this is gonna lead me in to my next question, 414 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: and this actually comes in from Eric good name. Uh, Chad, 415 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: how many touchdowns would you have thrown in your era 416 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: with Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker as your receivers. I 417 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: would hope many more than one idea. And I actually 418 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: had a chance to possibly play with Brandon Marshall when 419 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: I was in Miami, and I got a chance to 420 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: play three plays with before I got intoed on my 421 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: last shoulder surgery. And I just remember that week of practice, 422 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: the connection that we were developing, and you know, I 423 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: was going to him a lot and one on one 424 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: situations and he was surprised, pleasantly surprised that I was 425 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: doing that. And he knew that I was going to 426 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: get into football and I was really looking forward to it. So, 427 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: you know, I've been impressed with Fitzpatrick and Brandon mars chemistry. 428 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: To be able to have this type of chemistry, um 429 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: twelve games in that that's that's impressive to be able 430 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: to do that not having played with each other before. 431 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 1: And uh, and then you throw an Eric Decker who 432 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: has just been as solid as they come. It is 433 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: a great one to combination. There's no question about it 434 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: and defensive struggle and trying to defend both of those guys. Alright, 435 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: So the Jets sit here at seven to five at 436 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: the season and did today, which we all say, but 437 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: obviously we got a quarter of the way to go. 438 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: The Jets would be right in that playoff frame three 439 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: seven and five teams. Kansas City keeps on winning Chad 440 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: six in a raw. There are a lot of punents 441 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: out there who look at the schedule and say Kansas 442 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: City could win out and go eleven and five. And 443 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: then you got Pittsburgh there seven of five as well, 444 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: and they have two tough ball games coming up right now. 445 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: What do you think about the Steelers the next two weeks, 446 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: first going to Cincinnati and playing against the Bengals, and 447 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: then next week coming home and playing the Denver Broncos. 448 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: How do you think the Steelers are gonna fair those 449 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: two matchups because an explosive offense goes that is gonna 450 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: go against the NFL's top two scoring defenses. Well, that's 451 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: exactly what I was gonna say. That's that's gonna be 452 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: a great matchup to watch over the next two weeks 453 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: because the Steelers have an explosive offense, and Ben Roethlisberger 454 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: has done a great job. Todd Haley, the offensive coordinator, 455 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: former Jet coach, has done a great job in creating opportunities, 456 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: uh for that offense, even with the injuries that they've 457 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: sustained in the offensive line as well as with their 458 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: running back situation. I mean, they've done an outstanding job 459 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: of of really doing some good things in the passing game. 460 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: On offense in general, the three wide receivers that they 461 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 1: have are as good as anybody in foot ball when 462 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: it comes to a complete wide receiver corps. And so 463 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a big challenge for the Bengals and 464 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: also for the Broncos. Um. I think for the Bengals 465 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 1: that plays into their hands that it is in Cincinnati, 466 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 1: but in that NFC North Division, you can't you can't 467 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: really put your hand on anything as source what is 468 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: going to happen. So uh for the Jets. From the 469 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 1: Jets situation and standpoint, uh, you know this is these 470 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: are two big weeks. That's why these next two weeks 471 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: are just as important for the Jets as it is 472 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: the Steelers, because the Jets can certainly get a win 473 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: against the Titans. Moving forward, where the Pittsburgh Steelers have 474 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: a difficult game. That could be a step in the 475 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: right direction and get step ahead in this wild card race. Yeah, 476 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: I love Bulls as approached and you'll like this too. 477 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: Was a former player who said, we're just gonna keep 478 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: our head down. At the end of it, we'll look 479 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: up and see where we're at. Jets fans can keep 480 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,120 Speaker 1: their eye on the opposing scoreboard during these ballgames. Well, 481 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: what I tell you that Kansas City has three of 482 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: their next four. Three of their five to four games 483 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: at home against San Diego, Cleveland and Oakland, a team 484 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: they just beat on the road, and their only road 485 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: date as is against a Baltimore team that has struggled 486 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: this year. Could you foresee the Chiefs win and up? Oh, 487 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 1: no question that they can't. They can when we're in Miami, 488 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 1: we won nine of our last ten and so uh 489 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: and when we were sitting there at six and five 490 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: and one out, So it can certainly be done. It 491 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: won't be easy, but they can certainly do it. And 492 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 1: they saidly have the momentum. Uh, and that would be 493 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: impressive after starting uh, you know, one and five and 494 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 1: they be able to win ten in a row which 495 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: has as when I was in Miami we won nine 496 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: out of teams, so it can certainly be done and 497 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: they have the right situation to do it as well. 498 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: Now it doesn't mean it's going to be done, but 499 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: it's out there for them. Yeah. And then you know, 500 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: you look at the FC still the Bills are right 501 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: in the mix, still right on. Uh, you know, on 502 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: the cost bit looks like an age I should say 503 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: six and six and the FC South is wild and 504 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: wacky with Houston and Indianapolis both being six and six. 505 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: A lot of football left to be played, but the 506 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 1: Jets continue to play meaningful football in December. You're gonna 507 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: be up here in Midlife Stadium on Sunday, aren't you. Absolutely. 508 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: I'll be up there visiting some suites and fans and 509 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 1: things like that, looking forward to it. I think anytime 510 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: you have your team in the playoff race in December, 511 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: it is a lot of fun for fans. That's when 512 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: it really you really start to see what NFL professional 513 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: football is all about. When you have playoff teams buying 514 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: for spots in December, the intensity is much much greater. Um, 515 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: it's on the line, and uh, I think this month 516 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: also proves that you'll see some teams actually just flat 517 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: out loose ball games that they should and and that 518 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: they you know, they gave to the opponent. And that's 519 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: what you want to stay away from as a team, 520 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: is making sure that you're doing everything you can uh 521 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: to not just give a game to an opponent, but 522 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: really focus in on the little details of the game 523 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: that can change the game. All right, we're looking forward 524 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: to seeing it up your partner, Hey, you too, Eric, 525 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: Thank you.
