29
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,960

34
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: not just talking about your body, of course, you know,

35
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: because you say your body is fresh, it feels good.

36
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: But how's the game slowing down? And how are you

37
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,960

Speaker 1: one or a week two and now how are you

39
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: seeing the feel different? It's the game slowing down for

40
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: you most definitely, it's slowing up a lot. Um. When

41
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: I first started, everything was just moving fast paced. I

42
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: didn't know what was going on. But now on that

43
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: I'm eleven weeks in, I'm watching more film, and uh,

44
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,440

63
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: plane because they relate with the chicken. They're still in line.

64
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: That's why you gotta place your order before practice and

Speaker 1: have it ready at the time. And also I had

Speaker 1: didn't carry the pass one time in camp one time,

82
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: one time, one time, not bad. Uh. Inside the Jets

83
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: presented by e Why Building a Better Working World? How

84
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: were you able Eli McGuire and your first professional season

85
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: to have your offensive coordinator John Morton be so confident

86
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: in you know, because a lot of guys who come

87
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: into the National Football League who are six round picks,

88
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: who are behind the Matt Forte and balal Paul, they

89
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't get the amount of work that you're getting. But

90
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: John Morton said, Hey, this guy is like a veteran

91
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: the way he approaches this game. It's just being versatile

92
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: when you can run, can't catch out the backfield. Uh,

93
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: it's just great. It's hard to find those guys these days.

94
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: So when you have three running backs, they could do

95
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: different things. Uh, you gotta use them in some kind

96
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: of way. You gotta use them. Now, what how would

97
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: you describe your style to somebody who's never seen you

98
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 1: run the football before? Are you a one cut guy

99
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: or are you a scat back? You? Are you shady

100
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: or your trail datas? I'm shady? You shady? Okay? Okay? Yeah?

101
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: And the cutback it's how you got the long touchdown

102
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: and run against the Jacksonville j wors. All right, your

103
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: first touchdown in the NFL. Can you describe that play

104
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: for us? Well, yeah, it was. It was an outside

105
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: zone to the left, and uh, on the outside zone,

106
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: you gotta get everybody to flow right. So that's what happened.

107
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: Everybody flowed to one side to cut off the field

108
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: while I was going, while I was supposed to go,

109
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: and they had a big, big lane like right in

110
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: the middle. So the offensive lot did a great job

111
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: to get on the blocks. I did a great job

112
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: of pressing a hole, setting it up and found the

113
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: crease backside and made and got missed and took it

114
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: to took it. So I gotta follow up here because

115
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,679
Speaker 1: in the locker room after that game, when the Jets

116
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: beat the jack Wars, I asked, you, lie, so, what's

117
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: that feeling like when you hit the second level and

118
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: you know you're about to take it to the house?

119
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: And he said, oh, you can cancel Christmas. Is that

120
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: a line that if you used before? And and the

121
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: meeting behind that, Now, that was my first time. But

122
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: the reason I said that because when you ain't open

123
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: field like that, and you've got nothing but green grass,

124
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: and you running an open field and you've got people

125
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: chasing you. Your goal is not to get caught, and

126
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: that's just my goal, not to get caught. And I

127
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: approached as as the dog is behind me. Yeah, when

128
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: you when the dog is behind you, you don't know

129
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: nothing about that. You gotta explain. You gotta set it

130
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: up like in the hood, right you got a lot

131
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: of straight dogs, a lot of bucks. And at any

132
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: time you can turn the corner where you're walking back

133
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: from the store, you're going from playing basketball in the street,

134
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: dogs just come up again. So apparently I've never been

135
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: in the hood. This is what we're saying right now.

136
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: And I just want to say too, I just adopted

137
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: a dog from kill Shelter Donn in Kentucky, So all right,

138
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: he used to be a strike. You're a great guy, man,

139
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you very much. That that that that

140
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: straight dogs don't trace you. Okay, So Eli, right now,

141
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: the Jets four and seven after a loving games. Um, lately,

142
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: you've been having trouble difficulty closing games in the fourth quarter.

143
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: We think about Miami, we think about Atlanta and most

144
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: recently Carolina. What do you think is happening right now

145
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: to this team in the fourth quarter? Why you're not

146
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: able to make those plays at a critical time that

147
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: would give you a victory. Well, in this past game,

148
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: just had we played well for three quarters, but in

149
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter we heard ourselves with penalties and they

150
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: made more plays than we did. A special team play.

151
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: They made the punt return, oh, obviously a special teams

152
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: as he was in his league, and they made more

153
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: plays than we did, and we heard ours. So pen

154
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: is putting ourselves in the home. What's the locker room

155
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: like when you get there on a Monday. Because Jermaine

156
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: Curse fetching receiver who we've had here on this show,

157
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: who I want to tell you career high and catches

158
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: yesterday Barton and went over a hundred yards receiving, like

159
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: I said, like we've said all year, Eli, No, I

160
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: haven't told him yet. Tell him, Eli, good things happen

161
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: to people come here on inside the Jets. So fantasy

162
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: advice for those at home, Eli McGuire, pick him up

163
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: on drag creen. That's money. You might have to pick

164
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: him up this week as the Jets face the Kansas

165
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: City Chiefs at Life Stadium. But Jermaine Curse said, hey, listen,

166
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: our confidence is not shaken right now. You still have

167
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in the room, even though you've

168
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: lost five out of six accurate. Oh, it's just it's

169
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: not confidence is not where we wanted to be because

170
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: we had intentions on winning this game and that was

171
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: our goal coming out of how time we was up

172
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: to I think, and that's right, Well the score you're up.

173
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: Don't worry about your and uh, we just knew that

174
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: we would come out with a different game planer just

175
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: running the ball, trying to trying to punch the ball

176
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: down they throat and uh. But we heard ourselves with

177
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: repent of this. And it's hard to get yourself out

178
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: a whole when you when you've got a lot of

179
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: positive plays and then you get set back with negative

180
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: So it's hard and it's hard. Let me said to say,

181
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: so what did you do? Let's do let's let's regress

182
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: with something a little less heavy. You don't want to

183
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: talk about the feeling and how mad he is all

184
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: that stuff. Hey, listen, how did you enjoy your first

185
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: bye week? And being able to kind of enjoy the

186
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: fruits of your labor or the bye week was great? Man?

187
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: You know, I haven't I haven't been home in like

188
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: four months, so it was. It was good to get

189
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: back to family and uh, see my mom them, just

190
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: to spend time with them for a few days before

191
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: I get back to the job. So it was great, man,

192
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: it was. It was fun to say, my family, if

193
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: they've been able to come up here and watch you.

194
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: They haven't, but they came to the first game. They

195
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: came to Buffalo, so it was great for them to

196
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: come to the first game. Any plans coming up here,

197
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: maybe perhaps in December where your family would have an

198
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: opportunity to see you, well, it would be in New

199
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: Orleans because while I'm from my left fortified minutes away

200
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: from New Orleans, so they'll be They'll be pretty deep

201
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. And how special is that gonna be

202
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: for you in a few weeks when you go back

203
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: and play the Saints, it'll be special. But planning the

204
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: dome is nothing new for me. When I was in college,

205
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: we went to the New Orleans Bowl four years in

206
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: a row, but I only been there three times. So

207
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: it was it's great. I can't wait. Let me give

208
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: you some advice because you know what some people may

209
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 1: not know is I do a financial liturgy program with

210
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: Morgan Stanley. We talked about your finances. You know what

211
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: I mean. You're going back your six round draft pick.

212
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: You're going back to New Orleans. You're gonna get take

213
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: a request from your your elementary gym coach principal. You

214
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: gotta find your back cop. You're always good cop. You

215
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: gotta find your bad cop because will be looking up

216
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: in your What people don't realize out there is we

217
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: pay for tickets. We get too free tickets. Everything else

218
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: is directly taken out of your check. So if you

219
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: don't want to like check because almost Christmas time, let

220
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: your mom be bad hoop and only get your mama tickets.

221
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: Just my advice. I haven't I haven't did anythink they

222
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: got their own They got their own stuff. So you

223
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: got a good family, everything, good fan growing up. No,

224
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't nobody growing Okay, let's talk about your Twitter handle?

225
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: Uh at Mr Adversity, Why did you pick that? Well?

226
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: The reason behind that is I lost my dad at twelve,

227
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: and when my dad passed, I just wanted to quit everything.

228
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: I just want to stop going to school, stop playing sports.

229
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: But the people I had around me, they picked me up.

230
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: So I had to face that adversity and just get

231
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: back on my feet and doing what I love to do.

232
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:56,599
Speaker 1: What do you think your dad was think of you

233
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: now being a National Football League after Uh, you know

234
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: how much work you've put in along the way, and

235
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: then you were drafted of course in April. Not only

236
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: are you on this team, but you're a contributor on

237
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: this offense. Man, I believe help you to have this

238
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: man on his earth because, Uh, when I was young

239
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: playing sports, he he didn't miss no games. If he

240
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: had to leave work earlier, he was there. So I

241
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: think he'll be pretty pretty happy. I knew he happened

242
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: now spiritually, so I'm just trying to continue to make

243
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: him proud. You know what my father told me one thing,

244
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: um when I when I made it, he said, son,

245
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: you don't owe me anything but bragging rights. And um,

246
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure your father would say the same. And I'm

247
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: sure he's up in heaven bragging with his chest out

248
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: like a peacock. You know that's the only thing we

249
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: all our parents and them. You've done a tremendous job

250
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: and that you know, people don't understand how hard it

251
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: is to be a six round draft pick, to come

252
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 1: in this league and try and make a name for

253
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: themself because your opportunities are limited. So it speaks to

254
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: your maturity the fact that the limited the limited opportunities

255
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: you got, you obviously took full advantage of him that

256
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: they trust you to give you opportunity of the game.

257
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: So your congratulations to you, man. I'm sure your pop

258
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: is really really proud of you. Appreciate Eli. What do

259
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 1: you like about this offense? Uh, as far as the

260
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: West Coast and from a running backs perspective, because obviously

261
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: to play for John Morton, you gotta be able to

262
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: run the football, no doubt, but you gotta be a

263
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: dept at catching out of the backfield and you gotta

264
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: be one on the block as well. Right, what's my

265
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: first time in the West Coast offense? Uh, my four

266
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: years in college, I was I was used to a

267
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: new hotel and getting the signals from the sideline. Uh,

268
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: just huddling stuff is new to me. But being in

269
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: the West Coast offense, Uh, it's I think it's great, man,

270
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: because you give the running back a lot of opportunities

271
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,599
Speaker 1: to get messed up with a linebacker and trying to

272
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: win any one on ones. So I think that's what's

273
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: the greatest thing about his offense. That's the one thing

274
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: I noticed about this guy, Eli McGuire and training camp

275
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: was not only can you run the football, but he's

276
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: got good hands, solid hands. That's the first thing that

277
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: popped out at me during training camp about you, Eli,

278
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: that you have a game that is complete and you're

279
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: only gonna get better in the National Football League. What

280
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: about the verbiage of the offense, because we had Chad

281
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: Hanson on a couple of weeks ago, the rookie receiver

282
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: from Cal and he said, hey, it's like a paragraph

283
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: each play from your perspective, what what was it like

284
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: learning the terminology? And I agree with Chad, it is

285
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: it is like a paragraph. It's it's so complex. The

286
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: fans so they can get up. I'd like to hear one.

287
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: I can't even do it because when I was learning

288
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: the offense, and I was I was looking at the

289
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: playbook and I was reading one of the plays and

290
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: I've seen alert another player did kill another player, Like,

291
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: oh man, I don't know how I'm gonna do this.

292
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: So it's like it's like three players in the huddle

293
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: at one time. So you got to know everything. You

294
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: just listen to your part, right right about the other whatever, right,

295
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: the double pumps it overwhelming the first the first night

296
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: you get the camp maybe or you're at rookie UH

297
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: camp rocky minicamp, and you look at this thing and

298
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: you're like, whoa, it was man, Because I was I

299
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: was so afraid of just um I was. I was

300
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: so afraid of messing up or making a mistake. And

301
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: that's that's the quickest way to get out this league.

302
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: So I had to get in my playbook and just

303
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: learn everything that I can and put it in the

304
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: best way that I that I know how, and just

305
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: apply and just executed on the field. When you start

306
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: getting the game plan for the Chiefs, it's Monday right now.

307
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: You guys come into the complex, you look at your mistakes,

308
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: you put uh Sunday's game away. But when do you

309
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: start looking ahead individually at the chiefski fix. Oh, we

310
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: I'll start. I'll probably start tomorrow. Yeah, on Tuesday, you know,

311
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: the all day. Um, I go in in the morning

312
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: and get a little treatment, take care of my body,

313
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: and go home, just watch some film, and then on

314
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, just get the game plan and just go

315
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: from there. What does the running back and have to

316
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: pay attention to a special relie because I'm thinking about

317
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: guys like him. A linebacker, you gotta be looking at

318
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: how a linebacker and the safeties are coming down on

319
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: those run plays and also what they're doing in coverage.

320
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: Right as a running back, when I watched film, uh,

321
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: if it's a run play, I look at the technique

322
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: of the defensive linement, uh, just to know where the

323
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: ball might hit. And then in the past game, I

324
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: look at the linebackers they depp the safety's the corners,

325
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: and when the bit, when the linebacker bits, I look

326
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: at what they like to do their bull guy or

327
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: there for this guy. What's what's your personal goals for

328
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: the rest of the season to finish strong? What what

329
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: goals have you set for yourself before the season and

330
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: what goals have you set now? I haven't said any

331
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: goals really, but for the rest of the season, I

332
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: just want to be better than I was five minutes ago.

333
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: And I just wanted to be, uh, the best guy

334
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: and the best man that I can be in life.

335
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: Guys got a great attitude. That's Jets rookie running back

336
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 1: Eli McGuire. Thank you so much for joining us. We

337
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: will come right back here on Inside the Jets. Welcome

338
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 1: back to Inside the Jets Sarah Gallen and Bart Scott

339
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: here at Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's Park.

340
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: Um FanDuel Fantasy and Analysis brought to you by FanDuel

341
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: have all the fantasy that football has to offer. So

342
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: the fantasy advice for the folks at home this week

343
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: is get Ela McGuire, Eli McGuire. He's probably h out

344
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: there in free agency. Maybe you need a backup running

345
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: back on your fantasy team. Eli McGuire might punch it

346
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: in to the end zone this week against the Kansas

347
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. Well, let's talk about Jets Carolina Panthers. Jets

348
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: do a lot of good things. Why weren't they able

349
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: to come home with the victory? I think it's a

350
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: lack of discipline and um, you know, you think about

351
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: some of the untimely penalties and not really understanding how

352
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: to to finish. You know. One example of that is

353
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: I know that the special team coached not call a

354
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: kick down the middle. That is a cardinal sin. You

355
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: never kick a punt down the middle because what happens

356
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: is if they have a left return on or middle

357
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: return on or right return on. You give them an

358
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: opportunity to run that play, you kick it to a

359
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: side and try and pin them to a side. Got

360
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: you gotta take away some of the fields, right exactly.

361
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: It's just like anything like when you're defending a somebody

362
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: on a pass route or running back out of the backfield,

363
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: you always have to declare a side to give them

364
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: one way to exit. They kick the ball right down

365
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: the middle of the field and they paid the price

366
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: because what happens is everything times out Because as a

367
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: punt team, when you end coverage, what happens is you're

368
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: you're taught to spread out and fan out to your landmarks.

369
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: But then when you fan out to your landmarks, of

370
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: course people are getting out at different times. So what

371
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: happens is now you have people that are running down

372
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: the field on different levels. So what happens is if

373
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: somebody hits it straight up the middle, you can't recover

374
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: from that because nobody to overlap because everybody's at different

375
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: levels and getting out at different times. And that's why

376
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: when he hit it up the middle of nobody had

377
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: seemed like he was untouched. Where if you're on a side,

378
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: then you have guys from two that has angles because

379
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: they can see where the return is going, they can retreat. Cardinals.

380
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: Very uncharacteristic of the Jets this year because they've been

381
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: covering kicks and punts very well. Locklan Edwards has had

382
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: a great season to date, not only in terms of

383
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: yards per punt, but net yards. And you being a

384
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: former special teams performer yourself earlier in your career, that's

385
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: how you made your market. The National Football League know

386
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: that knows that net is the most important number when

387
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: you're talking about punting. Unfortunately, Lockland Iwards put that one

388
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: out in the middle. Kitlin Clay takes it to the house,

389
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: but before that, Josh McCown gets pressured. There's a breakdown

390
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: in protection. He's trying to dirt the ball. Unfortunately not

391
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: able to get the ball out and with a forward

392
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: throw instead it's a fumble. Luke kick Lee takes it

393
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: the other way, and all of a sudden you have

394
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: a fifteen point run from the Panthers, and and and

395
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: that's what's so demoralizing. What happens is you're playing, you know,

396
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: so great, and then two plays or fifteen seconds and

397
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: you're down, you know, fifteen points, you know it scored

398
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: on the board, and you've been battling to get that,

399
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: you know, get that, get that lead, and you lose

400
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: it that fast. And what happens is, you know, the

401
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: game is about evan flows. You know, momentum, it changes

402
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: on the dime, and when it gets it, you have

403
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: to try and play discipline and lean on your fundamentals

404
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: to try and get momentum to swing back your way.

405
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: And I feel like Josh McCown in that instance, instead

406
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: of just saying, Okay, we're playing good defensively, we're in

407
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: the game. Let's just eat the sack and there to

408
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: fight another day, he's trying to dirt it while he's

409
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: already being engulfed by a defender, and you never know,

410
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: he comes up with an empty hand. He's trying to

411
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: throw it all and even if he was going to

412
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: make the past and in the past is gonna go forward,

413
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: it's still with a great hospibility of probably going to

414
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: be tipped or because he's been thrown back, it's going

415
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: to be intercepted. So you know, it's just one of

416
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: those things. They keep taking turns and having bad plays.

417
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: You know, you think about you know, Jordan Jenkins. You

418
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: think about the off side, the roughing, roughing the pastor

419
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: from Mike pinal Lay in that ball game, right, and

420
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: at some point, you know, one of the best things

421
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: I've seen I saw yesterday was after the game Marcus

422
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: made crime. Right. It's because we're defined by our losses, right,

423
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: because the pain that he feels now is going to

424
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: propel him in the off season become a better player.

425
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: It's also are part of the scar tissue that all

426
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: great football teams have, especially when you're a young football team.

427
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: It's a lot of pain. There's a lot of you know, losing.

428
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: And then what happens is when everybody starts to pay

429
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: attention when you're successful, they forget the journey. They forget

430
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: to Seattle Seahawks journey before they got Russell Wilson, when

431
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: they were coming of age, when they were learning those lessons. Yeah,

432
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,959
Speaker 1: but they were when it's having eight games a year.

433
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: And remember they went into free agency signed a guy

434
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: by the name of Matt Flynn. They gave him a

435
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: lot of money and said, well, he's gonna be our

436
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: quarterback maybe. And oh, by the way, they took a

437
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: quarterback out of Wisconsin in the third round, a little

438
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: guy by the name of Russell Wilson who just be

439
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: can become a monster in the National Football League. And

440
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I think this is these are

441
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: gonna be the things that they remember their land a foundation.

442
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: But they have to start learning from their mistakes. You know.

443
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: We don't want to see them coming up and and

444
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: and beating themselves in tight games. And that's what that's

445
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: what hurt the most because they came out, they looked fresh,

446
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: They played with a lot of energy, they played with

447
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: a lot of poise. But there's a lot of missed

448
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: opportunities out there. We both we were talking off the

449
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: air about Sainfarren Jenkins. Okay, the one of the drops

450
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: were controversial, right because you know, I believe that he

451
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: had possession of I believe it's a touchdown. I don't

452
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: know what it catches in the NFL anymore. Well, I

453
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: don't know either, and I need somebody to uh define

454
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: a catch for me, and we might have to have

455
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: somebody on uh from the National Football Yeah, maybe we'll

456
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 1: bring in Dean He doesn't work for the NFL anymore,

457
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: but he never caught a ball before in his life,

458
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: and he was he's enforcing the rules. He he he

459
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: wrote some of those rules. He taught the person that's

460
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: that's that's interpreted in the rules. So you mentioned as

461
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: J he manned up after the game he said, I

462
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: have to make that catch in the Jets first possession

463
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: where John Morton had a tremendous play call and McCown

464
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: put the ball on Sj's hands. Unfortunately he wasn't able

465
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: to corral it. And then, like you're mentioning, then late

466
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: in the game again, God, Austin, I don't know what

467
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: he's doing the officials, but it feels like they got

468
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 1: they got it out for him. Um, and everybody's talking

469
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: about the play calling there, uh with the Jets and

470
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: John Morton, first and goal at the one and complete,

471
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: but reality says second and goal at the one. You

472
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: throw the fade, it's a touchdown. Yeah, and you got

473
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,959
Speaker 1: thinking and then nobody question in the play calling at

474
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: that point. You have a six five two d and

475
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: sixty pound tight end against a corner. It's a mismatch.

476
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: It's the same thing that we see with Jimmy Graham,

477
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: is the same thing that we see with Rob Gronkowski.

478
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: You have to put the fran Jenkins in that same breath.

479
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: He's that talented, and he's a guy that was brought

480
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: in and drafted in the first round because of those talents,

481
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: and you gotta put him in a position and he

482
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: made the play. In my opinion, he made the catch,

483
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, but you know, they just didn't get the

484
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: end result, which was the seven points on the board,

485
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: which would have been huge. And you have to, you know,

486
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: figure out to make sure that you make that catch

487
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: more definitively. All right, we're gonna come back here and

488
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: said that put the Carolina game to bed. We will

489
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: look ahead to the Kansas City Chiefs coming to Malife

490
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: Stadium this week and bringing is it still rivers Eislands

491
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: at Vas Darrell Rivas And we have plenty more to

492
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: talk about. Will be right back, Well back to inside

493
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: the Jets, Eric Ellen and Bart Scott here at Vanderbilts

494
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: Sports and Spirits inside kind of Hamilton's Park. Yes, the

495
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: folks are excited that you are here, the mad packer,

496
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: all three of them. Uh, you know what, It's just

497
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: a table. I think people were scared off they saw

498
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: the table had changed. So I feel like I did

499
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: up the room. Man. I had to go sit at

500
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: its kid table. I don't know. I don't know if

501
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: there's been any announcements Bart Scott lately, I don't know.

502
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't been following what's been happening anything

503
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: like that. Um, Bart, let's put a rap on this

504
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: Carolina ballgame. How how did the Jets now have to

505
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: respond to this? Because this has happened to them, not

506
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: just a couple of times, it's happened to them on

507
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: three occasions, as they've lost five out of six. Now,

508
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: I think it has to be a point of focus. Um,

509
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: maybe even getting some type of embolic object so that

510
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: they can come to the sideline and it's a constant reminder,

511
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: and you know, it's becomes a force of a point

512
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: of emphasis because what happens there. Sometimes you go in

513
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: and say, hey, we're gonna play clean game, we're gonna

514
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: play smart, and then you lose focus because you focused

515
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: from play to play and you forget about what the

516
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: theme of the game is all about. You know, sometimes

517
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 1: you know you're going to game, say okay, we're gonna

518
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: physicality all weeks, physicality, physicality, and you're if you remember,

519
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: you remember back in the day, the New Orleans Saints

520
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: they had the back. Some guys in Jacksonville, they had

521
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: the acts. Maybe maybe putting something on the sideline a reminder, yeah,

522
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: put a care bear or something out there. Man's something

523
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, something that they that can remind them

524
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: that when they come to the sideline that hey, we're

525
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: gonna play smart. I'm dating myself manies. It could have

526
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 1: been Christmas in a couple of weeks. But I don't

527
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: know about anybody's doing. But put a little pull a

528
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: little a little bit pull the baby Einstein or something

529
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: on on the over bench so when they come back,

530
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: they see, you gotta play smart, baby? Exactly do you

531
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: like to turnover? Change? I like to turnover chage is

532
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 1: it's like good karma. And when you when you when

533
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: you when you focus on something so much, it starts

534
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: to happen. You start to believe, and you get the

535
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: first one, then you believe that you can get the

536
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: second one, and then what happens. It's all about positive thinking,

537
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: you know. So what happens is it's fun. So guys

538
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: are out there and they're they're thinking about when I'm

539
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: out here, Okay, let me really go and try and

540
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: knock the ball. Out, Let's not just make the tackle

541
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: because we got to turnover chain. And that's what I'm

542
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: talking about. Sometimes things symbols, you know, remind us to

543
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: go out and focus on certain things, not just go

544
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: for the big head or hey, let's try and get

545
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: the ball out. You know we used to do that before. Well,

546
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 1: I can't mention you're not gonna go there wherever you're going,

547
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: but prest pause on that right now. Just just cash

548
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: prizes and if you get certain things, you know what

549
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: I mean? All right, So, um, great job, I thought.

550
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: By first, Clay Born and Buster Screen had one of

551
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: his better games, and Jets got their hands on a

552
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: lot of footballs. I believe Cam Newton just eleven and

553
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: twenty eight. Did you like what you saw from the

554
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: Jets corners by and large because they weren't perfect. Nobody's perfect.

555
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: Devin Functious got free for over a hundred and that

556
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: was the first receiver the Jets had played this year

557
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: that had a hundred receiver. I mean, but that's just one,

558
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? That was Cam's go to guy,

559
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: and um, he made some good plays. But you know,

560
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: the other team, you know, gets paid to you know,

561
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: I like that you know, Buster was disciplined. You you

562
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: talk about the tennis balls and not grabbing and things

563
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: like that, and I think, you know, because once again

564
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: something that made you focus on your job and not

565
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: doing something that sometimes can become instinctive, you know. So

566
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: I thought they did a great job. And and listen,

567
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: they played good enough to win the game, you know,

568
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: and I know they're tied up going there. And what

569
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: happens on Monday when you lose the game, You know,

570
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,959
Speaker 1: they talk about all the good stuff, and then they

571
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: put the five plays that cost you the game, and

572
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: it's never one, but it's it's two or three. There

573
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: really are pivotal in the outcome of the game. And

574
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: I thought that the missed opportunities for the touchdown catches

575
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: were one to punt down the middle of the football

576
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: field and trying to throw the ball while you were

577
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: being sacked where the game that were the biggest players

578
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: in the game that contributed to the loss. You take

579
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: those games those plays away. Then you punt the ball,

580
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: you make Cam have to earn it, and maybe you

581
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: have a different outcome. I I still think people are

582
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: not giving the Jets enough credit for the talent inside

583
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: the building third definite holes on this roster that they're

584
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: gonna have to take a look at in the off season,

585
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: whether pro free agency or the draft and make some improvements.

586
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: But with that being said, we're talking about seven eight

587
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: plays during the game, and they lost by five points.

588
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: Five points, so the marginal error is small. I agreed

589
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: to a certain extent. But we can look at seven

590
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: or eight of these plays and say if they happened

591
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: the Jets winning. See, the greatest thing about this season, e. A.

592
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: Is that you're developing a culture, a culture of accountability,

593
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: a culture of hard work, a culture of passion. You

594
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: can see when they're out there, they're playing with a

595
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: lot of energy that earlier that the Jets came out

596
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: and they played with juice off the break. Some teams

597
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,959
Speaker 1: would come off a break and even though that they

598
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: were at home, to be a little lethargic. Early Todd

599
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: Bulls has these guys ready to roll each and every week.

600
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: Last year, this was a team that frankly was lacking

601
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: the juice right exactly. And let me tell you something,

602
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: the rest of the league are paying attention. It's not

603
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: about the wins of losses this year, right the rest

604
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: of the league is paying attention, and guys that would say,

605
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe I wouldn't want to come to

606
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: New York. Now they're saying, you know what, they're on

607
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: the they're on the come up there, and I can

608
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: be part of something. I could be a part of something.

609
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: They have a good culture. We see this. I'm watching

610
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: on the screens here. I'm watching the Knicks because of

611
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: the way they play together. Their record isn't great, but

612
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,239
Speaker 1: because they way they play together, other creators are going

613
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: to say, you know what, I'll come and play for

614
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: the Knicks now. And that's what happens. We all watched.

615
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: We want to win, but we want to have fun

616
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,239
Speaker 1: and we want to enjoy our work environment. And when

617
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: you watch these young boys play, you see they play

618
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: with a lot of passion, a lot of emotion, and

619
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: they care about their teammates. Is not a selfish team.

620
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: So now the future is right because you're gonna have

621
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: guys that may take less money to come play here.

622
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: Where they would have said, you know what, I crushed,

623
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,719
Speaker 1: I crushed. Yeah, they might have looked at this situation

624
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: before and said, you know what, I don't know what's

625
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: happening there. I don't want to be part of it.

626
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: But like you're saying, the Jets will hide it into

627
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: this offseason with a lot of money. They still want

628
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: to build this team through the draft, but they've set

629
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: themselves up to pro free the agency if they want

630
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: to address some of their young guys in the house,

631
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: but they also can address some holes with some younger

632
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: players in pro free agency. I don't expect Mike mccagnan

633
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: to go out there with the crazy spending because that's

634
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: not going to be the answer. We talk about teams

635
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: each spring who wins and that team never does anything

636
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: the following year. Well, you know, Mcanney has made the

637
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: mistake already right when he went out and he paid Revers.

638
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: He went out and got Marshall and you know, tried

639
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: to win that year, and but those guys produced early on.

640
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: But but no, But what I'm saying is it did

641
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: It didn't work out with Decker right when you remember,

642
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: uh is it had a lot of sellar cap space,

643
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: and they went on and they spent it in two

644
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: years and they had to blow it all up again

645
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: this time. You want to build it more through the draft,

646
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: more consistently, just because you have the cash doesn't mean

647
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: you have to spend all of it. You know, you

648
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: have to spend the part that the NFL says you

649
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: have to spend, but you can spend it over more

650
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: players and just dumping a lot of money on one

651
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: or two play right. And the other thing is about

652
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: when you look at a roster in the National Football

653
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: League over the courses, sixteen games, you guys put your

654
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: bodies on the line. Not everybody's playing sixteen games. And

655
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: now we look at rosters at this point in December.

656
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: You have to depend on people, or not just your starters,

657
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: but the guy behind him. And that's how you build

658
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: a roster. And that's the beauty of this year because

659
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys won't be household names going forward.

660
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: But what happened is now they have experience, and maybe

661
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: you're bringing somebody that's gonna start above them and they

662
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: become the backup. But now you have confidence in your backups.

663
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: So what happens is you're only as strong as your

664
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: weakest links. So what happens is a guy go down,

665
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: you plug a guy in, and guess what, you're still

666
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: still rolling because they understand how to play and they've

667
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: had that experience. Well, guess what we have another segment

668
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: here we do inside part Scott. We'll be right back

669
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: here from Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits. All right, we're back

670
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: here at Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits Circle and Part Scott

671
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: A part. I would say, the drive at the game,

672
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: the drip, uh excuse me, the trip of the game

673
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Antigua and Barbuda. The beach

674
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: is just the beginning. I give it to John Morton

675
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: and the Jets offense. Down thirty two to twenty in

676
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, they responded with a must score possession

677
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: and Morton was patient. He stuck to the run game

678
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:29,919
Speaker 1: and then eventually went upstairs to Jermaine Curse and Josh

679
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: McCollum culminated that possession with the three yard scoring pass

680
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: to Curse. I thought that was a great drive because

681
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: Morton did not panic. The Jets were down twelve after

682
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: that run from the Panthers, and he stuck to the ground,

683
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: remained patient against the Carolina Panthers. They went down the

684
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: field and they gave themselves a chance to get back

685
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: in the ball game. I think he's a he's a

686
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 1: great play call. I think he had the the feel

687
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: of the team, in the in the the way that

688
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: the game is starting to take take shape, and understanding that.

689
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: You know, of course the first couple of plays that

690
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, when you're trying to come back, they're playing

691
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: for the big play. Yeah, and you can't get twelve

692
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: points in one play exactly. So what happens is if

693
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: they're giving away the big run, you know, they're getting

694
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: a light box and you take it. And then what

695
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: happens is they gotta show their hand because they started

696
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: to realize, okay, we're giving up ten ten yard chunks,

697
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: you know, so let's let's let's put an eighth man

698
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: in the box. And when that when that opportunity presents itself,

699
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: do you go up top? The other the other thing

700
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: that Morton did against the Panthers that I really liked

701
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: this He exploited the weaknesses because Carolina went in that game,

702
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: if you really looked at it, solid at all three levels,

703
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: but they had some cornerback issues. Captain Munterland not in

704
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: the ballgame. Shack Thompson a wonderful athlete, he was playing

705
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: inside a lot. So the Jets took advantage of Jermaine Curse.

706
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: I also thought. We're seeing Robby Anderson continue to develop.

707
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: The jets are moving them all over the place, and

708
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: we're seeing what he can do. Both Robbie Anderson and

709
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: Jeremine curse Gold for over a hundred yards against Carolina.

710
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think when you really, you know, break

711
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: down the Russian numbers two, they weren't as bad as

712
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: people thought. You know, they were spread out over three players,

713
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: but if you add them all up, I believe it

714
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: was a hundred and twenty one yard. You know, if

715
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: you want to ask at Jash mcconound of carries, that's

716
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 1: not too bad, you know. But I think, um, definitely,

717
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson is coming into his owner. He's playing with

718
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence. I like to see him show

719
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more maturity than not talk about the

720
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, understanding that's not the right time to talk

721
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: about that. Bulls didn't dress that. He said that. Robbie

722
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: and I talked about it. I don't think that's gonna

723
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: happen again. Yeah, but you know that that that showed

724
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: that that that can be um, you know, seeing as selfish,

725
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: you know, so I think he'll learn from that and

726
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 1: understanding that. Listen, he has a long way to go

727
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: before he gets there, you know, and you know when

728
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: when when you're a pro bowler, you don't have to

729
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: campaign for it. The other thing that gets overlooked in

730
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: all this is that Jets third down defense was tremendous.

731
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: I believe leave Carolina finished three or fourteen on third down.

732
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: That was the NFL's number one ranked offense on third down.

733
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: So hopefully they can build on that this week against

734
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. Well, you know why because they

735
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: won and they were successful in trying to slow down

736
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,240
Speaker 1: to run. You never stopped to run, you know. Carolina

737
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: Pathers are very physical football team, talented and with the

738
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: read option, you know, Cam Newtons gives them a different

739
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: dimension that the defense. But what I would like to

740
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: see them do though, is really figure out, you know,

741
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: this offset back stuff, because I saw that, you know,

742
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: a couple of times, the linebackers are still getting you know,

743
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: tricked with the formation recognition, and they have to come

744
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: up with some type of scheme schematically where you can

745
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: call to get help either from the d N or

746
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pass those routes because they were

747
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: getting picked, you know. And even though the last one,

748
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 1: you know to McCaffrey was a little bit too far.

749
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: He still was open. So it's just's things like that

750
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to learn. And I think they'll do that.

751
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: They'll see that this week because you know, you talk

752
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: about one of the best play callers in the game

753
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: and Andy Reid, and he's going to see that. Kareem

754
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: Hunt is struggling. Um, he talked about somebody starting well,

755
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: so so can Todd Bowls take anything from the Buffalo

756
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: Bill's defensive game plan where they played nickel the whole game,

757
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: predominantly putting an extra man in the box and played

758
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: zone in the back end. Well, I think so, man.

759
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: I think right now, Alex Smith is starting to feel

760
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,280
Speaker 1: the pressure. You know, we talk about you know, Mahomes,

761
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, you know, breathing on his heels, and now

762
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: people are talking about maybe you know, he needs to

763
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: to be benched. You know, after he started off pushing

764
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: the ball down the field. Now I think he's starting

765
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: to to to to really be scared to push the

766
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,720
Speaker 1: ball down the field because now he's afraid of mistakes.

767
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: And now when you start thinking about it, so he's

768
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,879
Speaker 1: not playing well, he's turning the football over. You talk

769
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: about that costly pick that he had yesterday where he

770
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 1: basically threw it to a wide open defender that was

771
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 1: just sitting there doubling. You know, if you can take

772
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: away Kelsey and and try and limit, you know, can't

773
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: let Tyreek Heill, he'll get loose. But I think you

774
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: talked about somebody hitting the rookie wall. I think Kareem Hunt,

775
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: and Kareem Hunt, even though he may not be the

776
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: best player, he's the most important player because he's a

777
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: guy that's easier to get the ball too, because like

778
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: how to do is turn around and give it to him.

779
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: You just gotta turn things back inside for him. And

780
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 1: where I think the Jets going to this ball game

781
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: much like last week. It's a little bit different because

782
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: Cam Newton far different quarterback than Alex Smith. But I

783
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: think the Jets have a big time advantage up front,

784
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 1: their their defensive line going against the Chief's offensive line.

785
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: You talked about the lack of depth again because they

786
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: have so many players that make so much money. You

787
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: talk about Houston, You talked about Alex Smith, you talked

788
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: about Eric Berry. You know a lot of guys that

789
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: you know there are in the top one or two

790
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: in their in their respective positions. And what happens is

791
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 1: they have that lack of depth, and they've had a

792
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: lot of injuries, and now you're starting to see that

793
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: they don't have the depth, and now they're trying to

794
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: supplement guys and trying and figure out different ways. But

795
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: they can't do what they did earlier season. What the

796
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 1: Jets have to do is make sure that they don't

797
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: get healthy against them, they don't get confidence against it,

798
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: because they're gonna be facing a very, very desperate football team,

799
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: because the Chargers are on their hills and things can

800
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: turn around quickly. In the National Football League. We saw

801
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: the Jets put the Buffalo Bills in a towel spin.

802
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: But then a Buffalo team who you thought would get

803
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: run out of the stadium at Arrowhead went into Kansas

804
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 1: City and they were the desperate team and they took

805
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 1: care of business with a good defensive effort. Defensively, were

806
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: you surprised that your former coach Bob Sutton and the

807
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: rest of the Chiefs organization decided to pick up the

808
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: Roll Reeves because he could be playing opposite one of

809
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: the game's top cornerbacks and Marcus Peters this weekend. Marcus Peterson,

810
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: you gotta love him and reminded me a lot of

811
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: Delta O'Neill because he'll he'll jump anything. Man. He asked

812
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: the preme confidence in itself, but he'll give up the

813
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: big player as well. And I think that Reeves is

814
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: a security, uh blanket that they want to have for

815
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I don't know if you see Reeves in

816
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: the first three of four weeks of him being there.

817
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: They got to get him up to game speed. And

818
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: what you would hate to do is give him a

819
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: two year contract and have him pull his hamstring because

820
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: no matter what he's been doing in Miami and training,

821
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he's been preparing. So you don't think

822
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna see a lot of them this week, I

823
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: don't think so. I think you know they'll maybe working

824
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: in week three as they try and maybe working into

825
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: a Nickel package things like that, because what happens is

826
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: you saw it happen with Lebyan Belle. You see it

827
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: all the time when guys come in mid season late,

828
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: they try and play a game speed and they're not

829
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: a depth to it because they haven't really ramped themselves

830
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: up and they pull a hamstrings, have soft tissue injuries

831
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,919
Speaker 1: and the other thing people are asking about whether he's

832
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: gonna be working a slot. I just can't see that.

833
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 1: For Darrell Reeves, that was never his deal, even in

834
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: the prime of his career. Well he did that against

835
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: Wells Walker, um when he shoutowed West Walker and Wes

836
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: Welker always went to the slot. You know what, people

837
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: don't realize the fact that Reeves hasn't played in a

838
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: while has allowed a lot of those little nagging injuries

839
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: that somebody who retired those nagging injuries to heal up.

840
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: So if he's a healthy Reeves, then he's worked his

841
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: way to go because he can help you because now

842
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna be going against the second and third receiver

843
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: because they have a number one corner and people. But

844
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: the thing that Kansas City does that's interesting. On the

845
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,720
Speaker 1: defensive side, they don't move, they won't shadow like Darrell

846
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: when he was here back in the day. We know

847
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: we have watched Rex Ryan Uh at times. You know,

848
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: send him with with with the opponent. The top receiver,

849
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: um Marcus Peter is gonna stay to his side predominantly.

850
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: That's the way they're doing in Kansas City. Yeah, absolutely,

851
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: But Bob Sutton knows Reevers very well. So if Peters

852
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: has to move because Reevers is more comfortable here, I

853
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: think he'll share Reevings up for success, because when you're

854
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: the number one corner, you have to travel. We saw

855
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: that happen later in Richard Sherman's career too, you know,

856
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: later in a couple of years when he was a

857
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 1: shot down the corner that always played on the left side.

858
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: If we need you to move that way, you know

859
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: you want this money, you'll move. Fascinating matchup, but you

860
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,240
Speaker 1: think the Jets has to be prepared for a wounded

861
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 1: animal in the Kansas City Chiefs that's desperate. You talk

862
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 1: about their sputtering out of control. You have a veteran

863
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: who knows that he's probably not gonna be there next year.

864
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: He knows that he has up his resume so that

865
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: he can go to the to the to the highest

866
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: bidder next year, and he knows that he the time

867
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: is now. This may be his last opportunity to win

868
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. We got about forty five seconds left.

869
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: Tier on inside the Jets, Bark, Scott and I will

870
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: be at MetLife Stadium for the Madden go back, there

871
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:30,919
Speaker 1: will be here. We don't. We don't want to see

872
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: that because there's somebody on the cover. We don't really like.

873
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: That's cool. We get to blow that up out the words,

874
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: we get the pope. We can put mustache on it,

875
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 1: we can put Bookers in his nose, all that kind

876
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: of stuff. You go kill. We're not even gonna tell

877
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: you he's on the cover. But are you excited for

878
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: Wednesday night at MetLife Stadium? Do you? Did you ever

879
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: played man ever? I played Madden until I got into

880
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: the NFL, and Matten didn't put me on the game

881
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:52,919
Speaker 1: for the first three years, and I thought he knew

882
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 1: something that I didn't know, that I was gonna get

883
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 1: cut or something because he never put my actual face on.

884
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: I was just number fifty seven, disrespect all right, We'll

885
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 1: see not Life Stadium Wednesday night. Thanks for everybody too,

886
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: came out tonight.
