Speaker 1: know those are unofficial. We don't come right. But I
Speaker 1: get a lot of playing time in pretty much. Um.

Speaker 1: I just be ready with my my number is called,
Speaker 1: and uh, when my number is called, I just do
Speaker 1: whatever I do. I can do the healthy team. So
Speaker 1: I'm feeling pretty good at this point right now. So

Speaker 1: because you say your body is fresh, it feels good.
Speaker 1: But how's the game slowing down? And how are you
Speaker 1: seeing the field? You know, what's the difference between week
Speaker 1: one or a week two and now how are you
Speaker 1: seeing the feel different? It's the game slowing down for
Speaker 1: you most definitely, it's slowing up a lot. Um. When
Speaker 1: I first started, everything was just moving fast paced. I
Speaker 1: didn't know what was going on. But now on that
Speaker 1: I'm eleven weeks in, I'm watching more film, and uh,
Speaker 1: I know what's going on. Uh it's slowed up a lot.
Speaker 1: Our player guest segment here on Inside the Jets is
Speaker 1: presented by M ANDT Bank, the official community bank of
Speaker 1: your New York Jets. How about working in the backfield
Speaker 1: with consummate professionals like Blah Paul and Matt Forte. How
Speaker 1: much have you enjoyed that? Man, it's been eight man,
Speaker 1: I couldn't pick two better guys. Have been a room
Speaker 1: with two veteran guys has been in the leading alone
Speaker 1: time and I just learned a lot. I've just been
Speaker 1: been a sponsor to those guys and just soaking up
Speaker 1: every knowledge that I can. And those guys are great teachers,
Speaker 1: and it's my job to listen to those guys, and
Speaker 1: it's been great. Listen to him. When you say listen
Speaker 1: to that, I mean get the doughnuts and bring the
Speaker 1: pop Eyes chicken for him as well. Now they haven't
Speaker 1: anything crazy like that yet. You don't have to get chicken,
Speaker 1: so part what you used to have to do as
Speaker 1: a rookie. They call it the bart special. Man. They
Speaker 1: had my stuff ready. Yeah, I've seen rookies missed the
Speaker 1: plane because they relate with the chicken. They're still in line.
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: to get steak and eggs. Man, I cannot believe wait
Speaker 1: till I talked to Matt Ford Tambo. Man, things are
Speaker 1: gonna change for the end of the season. Man, you're
Speaker 1: gonna get You're gonna get brought in the right way.
Speaker 1: So how did they welcome you into that running back real? Uh?
Speaker 1: Just with open arms. Uh let me come in and
Speaker 1: just try to learn everything that I can. Just listen
Speaker 1: and uh, just's be a great listener. See, I don't
Speaker 1: think you undertood the court. You're not talking about the
Speaker 1: nice stuff. He said, what that they told you? Like,
Speaker 1: you know, do you have to carry the pad? Do
Speaker 1: you have to carry the pass? Anything? We want to
Speaker 1: know about the rockie experience? Are you telling me the
Speaker 1: rookie experience is now like being in the penthouse. Those
Speaker 1: guys haven't really told me to do anything crazy. I
Speaker 1: didn't carry the pass one time in camp one time,
Speaker 1: one time, one time, not bad. Uh. Inside the Jets
Speaker 1: presented by e Why Building a Better Working World? How
Speaker 1: were you able Eli McGuire and your first professional season
Speaker 1: to have your offensive coordinator John Morton be so confident
Speaker 1: in you know, because a lot of guys who come
Speaker 1: into the National Football League who are six round picks,
Speaker 1: who are behind the Matt Forte and balal Paul, they
Speaker 1: wouldn't get the amount of work that you're getting. But
Speaker 1: John Morton said, Hey, this guy is like a veteran
Speaker 1: the way he approaches this game. It's just being versatile
Speaker 1: when you can run, can't catch out the backfield. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's just great. It's hard to find those guys these days.
Speaker 1: So when you have three running backs, they could do
Speaker 1: different things. Uh, you gotta use them in some kind
Speaker 1: of way. You gotta use them. Now, what how would
Speaker 1: you describe your style to somebody who's never seen you
Speaker 1: run the football before? Are you a one cut guy
Speaker 1: or are you a scat back? You? Are you shady
Speaker 1: or your trail datas? I'm shady? You shady? Okay? Okay? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And the cutback it's how you got the long touchdown
Speaker 1: and run against the Jacksonville j wors. All right, your
Speaker 1: first touchdown in the NFL. Can you describe that play
Speaker 1: for us? Well, yeah, it was. It was an outside
Speaker 1: zone to the left, and uh, on the outside zone,
Speaker 1: you gotta get everybody to flow right. So that's what happened.
Speaker 1: Everybody flowed to one side to cut off the field
Speaker 1: while I was going, while I was supposed to go,
Speaker 1: and they had a big, big lane like right in
Speaker 1: the middle. So the offensive lot did a great job
Speaker 1: to get on the blocks. I did a great job
Speaker 1: of pressing a hole, setting it up and found the
Speaker 1: crease backside and made and got missed and took it
Speaker 1: to took it. So I gotta follow up here because
Speaker 1: in the locker room after that game, when the Jets
Speaker 1: beat the jack Wars, I asked, you, lie, so, what's
Speaker 1: that feeling like when you hit the second level and
Speaker 1: you know you're about to take it to the house?
Speaker 1: And he said, oh, you can cancel Christmas. Is that
Speaker 1: a line that if you used before? And and the
Speaker 1: meeting behind that, Now, that was my first time. But
Speaker 1: the reason I said that because when you ain't open
Speaker 1: field like that, and you've got nothing but green grass,
Speaker 1: and you running an open field and you've got people
Speaker 1: chasing you. Your goal is not to get caught, and
Speaker 1: that's just my goal, not to get caught. And I
Speaker 1: approached as as the dog is behind me. Yeah, when
Speaker 1: you when the dog is behind you, you don't know
Speaker 1: nothing about that. You gotta explain. You gotta set it
Speaker 1: up like in the hood, right you got a lot
Speaker 1: of straight dogs, a lot of bucks. And at any
Speaker 1: time you can turn the corner where you're walking back
Speaker 1: from the store, you're going from playing basketball in the street,
Speaker 1: dogs just come up again. So apparently I've never been
Speaker 1: in the hood. This is what we're saying right now.
Speaker 1: And I just want to say too, I just adopted
Speaker 1: a dog from kill Shelter Donn in Kentucky, So all right,
Speaker 1: he used to be a strike. You're a great guy, man,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you very much. That that that that
Speaker 1: straight dogs don't trace you. Okay, So Eli, right now,
Speaker 1: the Jets four and seven after a loving games. Um, lately,
Speaker 1: you've been having trouble difficulty closing games in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: We think about Miami, we think about Atlanta and most
Speaker 1: recently Carolina. What do you think is happening right now
Speaker 1: to this team in the fourth quarter? Why you're not
Speaker 1: able to make those plays at a critical time that
Speaker 1: would give you a victory. Well, in this past game,
Speaker 1: just had we played well for three quarters, but in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter we heard ourselves with penalties and they
Speaker 1: made more plays than we did. A special team play.
Speaker 1: They made the punt return, oh, obviously a special teams
Speaker 1: as he was in his league, and they made more
Speaker 1: plays than we did, and we heard ours. So pen
Speaker 1: is putting ourselves in the home. What's the locker room
Speaker 1: like when you get there on a Monday. Because Jermaine
Speaker 1: Curse fetching receiver who we've had here on this show,
Speaker 1: who I want to tell you career high and catches
Speaker 1: yesterday Barton and went over a hundred yards receiving, like
Speaker 1: I said, like we've said all year, Eli, No, I
Speaker 1: haven't told him yet. Tell him, Eli, good things happen
Speaker 1: to people come here on inside the Jets. So fantasy
Speaker 1: advice for those at home, Eli McGuire, pick him up
Speaker 1: on drag creen. That's money. You might have to pick
Speaker 1: him up this week as the Jets face the Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chiefs at Life Stadium. But Jermaine Curse said, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: our confidence is not shaken right now. You still have
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in the room, even though you've
Speaker 1: lost five out of six accurate. Oh, it's just it's
Speaker 1: not confidence is not where we wanted to be because
Speaker 1: we had intentions on winning this game and that was
Speaker 1: our goal coming out of how time we was up
Speaker 1: to I think, and that's right, Well the score you're up.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about your and uh, we just knew that
Speaker 1: we would come out with a different game planer just
Speaker 1: running the ball, trying to trying to punch the ball
Speaker 1: down they throat and uh. But we heard ourselves with
Speaker 1: repent of this. And it's hard to get yourself out
Speaker 1: a whole when you when you've got a lot of
Speaker 1: positive plays and then you get set back with negative
Speaker 1: So it's hard and it's hard. Let me said to say,
Speaker 1: so what did you do? Let's do let's let's regress
Speaker 1: with something a little less heavy. You don't want to
Speaker 1: talk about the feeling and how mad he is all
Speaker 1: that stuff. Hey, listen, how did you enjoy your first
Speaker 1: bye week? And being able to kind of enjoy the
Speaker 1: fruits of your labor or the bye week was great? Man?
Speaker 1: You know, I haven't I haven't been home in like
Speaker 1: four months, so it was. It was good to get
Speaker 1: back to family and uh, see my mom them, just
Speaker 1: to spend time with them for a few days before
Speaker 1: I get back to the job. So it was great, man,
Speaker 1: it was. It was fun to say, my family, if
Speaker 1: they've been able to come up here and watch you.
Speaker 1: They haven't, but they came to the first game. They
Speaker 1: came to Buffalo, so it was great for them to
Speaker 1: come to the first game. Any plans coming up here,
Speaker 1: maybe perhaps in December where your family would have an
Speaker 1: opportunity to see you, well, it would be in New
Speaker 1: Orleans because while I'm from my left fortified minutes away
Speaker 1: from New Orleans, so they'll be They'll be pretty deep
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. And how special is that gonna be
Speaker 1: for you in a few weeks when you go back
Speaker 1: and play the Saints, it'll be special. But planning the
Speaker 1: dome is nothing new for me. When I was in college,
Speaker 1: we went to the New Orleans Bowl four years in
Speaker 1: a row, but I only been there three times. So
Speaker 1: it was it's great. I can't wait. Let me give
Speaker 1: you some advice because you know what some people may
Speaker 1: not know is I do a financial liturgy program with
Speaker 1: Morgan Stanley. We talked about your finances. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean. You're going back your six round draft pick.
Speaker 1: You're going back to New Orleans. You're gonna get take
Speaker 1: a request from your your elementary gym coach principal. You
Speaker 1: gotta find your back cop. You're always good cop. You
Speaker 1: gotta find your bad cop because will be looking up
Speaker 1: in your What people don't realize out there is we
Speaker 1: pay for tickets. We get too free tickets. Everything else
Speaker 1: is directly taken out of your check. So if you
Speaker 1: don't want to like check because almost Christmas time, let
Speaker 1: your mom be bad hoop and only get your mama tickets.
Speaker 1: Just my advice. I haven't I haven't did anythink they
Speaker 1: got their own They got their own stuff. So you
Speaker 1: got a good family, everything, good fan growing up. No,
Speaker 1: I wasn't nobody growing Okay, let's talk about your Twitter handle?
Speaker 1: Uh at Mr Adversity, Why did you pick that? Well?
Speaker 1: The reason behind that is I lost my dad at twelve,
Speaker 1: and when my dad passed, I just wanted to quit everything.
Speaker 1: I just want to stop going to school, stop playing sports.
Speaker 1: But the people I had around me, they picked me up.
Speaker 1: So I had to face that adversity and just get
Speaker 1: back on my feet and doing what I love to do.
Speaker 1: What do you think your dad was think of you
Speaker 1: now being a National Football League after Uh, you know
Speaker 1: how much work you've put in along the way, and
Speaker 1: then you were drafted of course in April. Not only
Speaker 1: are you on this team, but you're a contributor on
Speaker 1: this offense. Man, I believe help you to have this
Speaker 1: man on his earth because, Uh, when I was young
Speaker 1: playing sports, he he didn't miss no games. If he
Speaker 1: had to leave work earlier, he was there. So I
Speaker 1: think he'll be pretty pretty happy. I knew he happened
Speaker 1: now spiritually, so I'm just trying to continue to make
Speaker 1: him proud. You know what my father told me one thing,
Speaker 1: um when I when I made it, he said, son,
Speaker 1: you don't owe me anything but bragging rights. And um,
Speaker 1: I'm sure your father would say the same. And I'm
Speaker 1: sure he's up in heaven bragging with his chest out
Speaker 1: like a peacock. You know that's the only thing we
Speaker 1: all our parents and them. You've done a tremendous job
Speaker 1: and that you know, people don't understand how hard it
Speaker 1: is to be a six round draft pick, to come
Speaker 1: in this league and try and make a name for
Speaker 1: themself because your opportunities are limited. So it speaks to
Speaker 1: your maturity the fact that the limited the limited opportunities
Speaker 1: you got, you obviously took full advantage of him that
Speaker 1: they trust you to give you opportunity of the game.
Speaker 1: So your congratulations to you, man. I'm sure your pop
Speaker 1: is really really proud of you. Appreciate Eli. What do
Speaker 1: you like about this offense? Uh, as far as the
Speaker 1: West Coast and from a running backs perspective, because obviously
Speaker 1: to play for John Morton, you gotta be able to
Speaker 1: run the football, no doubt, but you gotta be a
Speaker 1: dept at catching out of the backfield and you gotta
Speaker 1: be one on the block as well. Right, what's my
Speaker 1: first time in the West Coast offense? Uh, my four
Speaker 1: years in college, I was I was used to a
Speaker 1: new hotel and getting the signals from the sideline. Uh,
Speaker 1: just huddling stuff is new to me. But being in
Speaker 1: the West Coast offense, Uh, it's I think it's great, man,
Speaker 1: because you give the running back a lot of opportunities
Speaker 1: to get messed up with a linebacker and trying to
Speaker 1: win any one on ones. So I think that's what's
Speaker 1: the greatest thing about his offense. That's the one thing
Speaker 1: I noticed about this guy, Eli McGuire and training camp
Speaker 1: was not only can you run the football, but he's
Speaker 1: got good hands, solid hands. That's the first thing that
Speaker 1: popped out at me during training camp about you, Eli,
Speaker 1: that you have a game that is complete and you're
Speaker 1: only gonna get better in the National Football League. What
Speaker 1: about the verbiage of the offense, because we had Chad
Speaker 1: Hanson on a couple of weeks ago, the rookie receiver
Speaker 1: from Cal and he said, hey, it's like a paragraph
Speaker 1: each play from your perspective, what what was it like
Speaker 1: learning the terminology? And I agree with Chad, it is
Speaker 1: it is like a paragraph. It's it's so complex. The
Speaker 1: fans so they can get up. I'd like to hear one.
Speaker 1: I can't even do it because when I was learning
Speaker 1: the offense, and I was I was looking at the
Speaker 1: playbook and I was reading one of the plays and
Speaker 1: I've seen alert another player did kill another player, Like,
Speaker 1: oh man, I don't know how I'm gonna do this.
Speaker 1: So it's like it's like three players in the huddle
Speaker 1: at one time. So you got to know everything. You
Speaker 1: just listen to your part, right right about the other whatever, right,
Speaker 1: the double pumps it overwhelming the first the first night
Speaker 1: you get the camp maybe or you're at rookie UH
Speaker 1: camp rocky minicamp, and you look at this thing and
Speaker 1: you're like, whoa, it was man, Because I was I
Speaker 1: was so afraid of just um I was. I was
Speaker 1: so afraid of messing up or making a mistake. And
Speaker 1: that's that's the quickest way to get out this league.
Speaker 1: So I had to get in my playbook and just
Speaker 1: learn everything that I can and put it in the
Speaker 1: best way that I that I know how, and just
Speaker 1: apply and just executed on the field. When you start
Speaker 1: getting the game plan for the Chiefs, it's Monday right now.
Speaker 1: You guys come into the complex, you look at your mistakes,
Speaker 1: you put uh Sunday's game away. But when do you
Speaker 1: start looking ahead individually at the chiefski fix. Oh, we
Speaker 1: I'll start. I'll probably start tomorrow. Yeah, on Tuesday, you know,
Speaker 1: the all day. Um, I go in in the morning
Speaker 1: and get a little treatment, take care of my body,
Speaker 1: and go home, just watch some film, and then on
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, just get the game plan and just go
Speaker 1: from there. What does the running back and have to
Speaker 1: pay attention to a special relie because I'm thinking about
Speaker 1: guys like him. A linebacker, you gotta be looking at
Speaker 1: how a linebacker and the safeties are coming down on
Speaker 1: those run plays and also what they're doing in coverage.
Speaker 1: Right as a running back, when I watched film, uh,
Speaker 1: if it's a run play, I look at the technique
Speaker 1: of the defensive linement, uh, just to know where the
Speaker 1: ball might hit. And then in the past game, I
Speaker 1: look at the linebackers they depp the safety's the corners,
Speaker 1: and when the bit, when the linebacker bits, I look
Speaker 1: at what they like to do their bull guy or
Speaker 1: there for this guy. What's what's your personal goals for
Speaker 1: the rest of the season to finish strong? What what
Speaker 1: goals have you set for yourself before the season and
Speaker 1: what goals have you set now? I haven't said any
Speaker 1: goals really, but for the rest of the season, I
Speaker 1: just want to be better than I was five minutes ago.
Speaker 1: And I just wanted to be, uh, the best guy
Speaker 1: and the best man that I can be in life.
Speaker 1: Guys got a great attitude. That's Jets rookie running back
Speaker 1: Eli McGuire. Thank you so much for joining us. We
Speaker 1: will come right back here on Inside the Jets. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to Inside the Jets Sarah Gallen and Bart Scott
Speaker 1: here at Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's Park.
Speaker 1: Um FanDuel Fantasy and Analysis brought to you by FanDuel
Speaker 1: have all the fantasy that football has to offer. So
Speaker 1: the fantasy advice for the folks at home this week
Speaker 1: is get Ela McGuire, Eli McGuire. He's probably h out
Speaker 1: there in free agency. Maybe you need a backup running
Speaker 1: back on your fantasy team. Eli McGuire might punch it
Speaker 1: in to the end zone this week against the Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. Well, let's talk about Jets Carolina Panthers. Jets
Speaker 1: do a lot of good things. Why weren't they able
Speaker 1: to come home with the victory? I think it's a
Speaker 1: lack of discipline and um, you know, you think about
Speaker 1: some of the untimely penalties and not really understanding how
Speaker 1: to to finish. You know. One example of that is
Speaker 1: I know that the special team coached not call a
Speaker 1: kick down the middle. That is a cardinal sin. You
Speaker 1: never kick a punt down the middle because what happens
Speaker 1: is if they have a left return on or middle
Speaker 1: return on or right return on. You give them an
Speaker 1: opportunity to run that play, you kick it to a
Speaker 1: side and try and pin them to a side. Got
Speaker 1: you gotta take away some of the fields, right exactly.
Speaker 1: It's just like anything like when you're defending a somebody
Speaker 1: on a pass route or running back out of the backfield,
Speaker 1: you always have to declare a side to give them
Speaker 1: one way to exit. They kick the ball right down
Speaker 1: the middle of the field and they paid the price
Speaker 1: because what happens is everything times out Because as a
Speaker 1: punt team, when you end coverage, what happens is you're
Speaker 1: you're taught to spread out and fan out to your landmarks.
Speaker 1: But then when you fan out to your landmarks, of
Speaker 1: course people are getting out at different times. So what
Speaker 1: happens is now you have people that are running down
Speaker 1: the field on different levels. So what happens is if
Speaker 1: somebody hits it straight up the middle, you can't recover
Speaker 1: from that because nobody to overlap because everybody's at different
Speaker 1: levels and getting out at different times. And that's why
Speaker 1: when he hit it up the middle of nobody had
Speaker 1: seemed like he was untouched. Where if you're on a side,
Speaker 1: then you have guys from two that has angles because
Speaker 1: they can see where the return is going, they can retreat. Cardinals.
Speaker 1: Very uncharacteristic of the Jets this year because they've been
Speaker 1: covering kicks and punts very well. Locklan Edwards has had
Speaker 1: a great season to date, not only in terms of
Speaker 1: yards per punt, but net yards. And you being a
Speaker 1: former special teams performer yourself earlier in your career, that's
Speaker 1: how you made your market. The National Football League know
Speaker 1: that knows that net is the most important number when
Speaker 1: you're talking about punting. Unfortunately, Lockland Iwards put that one
Speaker 1: out in the middle. Kitlin Clay takes it to the house,
Speaker 1: but before that, Josh McCown gets pressured. There's a breakdown
Speaker 1: in protection. He's trying to dirt the ball. Unfortunately not
Speaker 1: able to get the ball out and with a forward
Speaker 1: throw instead it's a fumble. Luke kick Lee takes it
Speaker 1: the other way, and all of a sudden you have
Speaker 1: a fifteen point run from the Panthers, and and and
Speaker 1: that's what's so demoralizing. What happens is you're playing, you know,
Speaker 1: so great, and then two plays or fifteen seconds and
Speaker 1: you're down, you know, fifteen points, you know it scored
Speaker 1: on the board, and you've been battling to get that,
Speaker 1: you know, get that, get that lead, and you lose
Speaker 1: it that fast. And what happens is, you know, the
Speaker 1: game is about evan flows. You know, momentum, it changes
Speaker 1: on the dime, and when it gets it, you have
Speaker 1: to try and play discipline and lean on your fundamentals
Speaker 1: to try and get momentum to swing back your way.
Speaker 1: And I feel like Josh McCown in that instance, instead
Speaker 1: of just saying, Okay, we're playing good defensively, we're in
Speaker 1: the game. Let's just eat the sack and there to
Speaker 1: fight another day, he's trying to dirt it while he's
Speaker 1: already being engulfed by a defender, and you never know,
Speaker 1: he comes up with an empty hand. He's trying to
Speaker 1: throw it all and even if he was going to
Speaker 1: make the past and in the past is gonna go forward,
Speaker 1: it's still with a great hospibility of probably going to
Speaker 1: be tipped or because he's been thrown back, it's going
Speaker 1: to be intercepted. So you know, it's just one of
Speaker 1: those things. They keep taking turns and having bad plays.
Speaker 1: You know, you think about you know, Jordan Jenkins. You
Speaker 1: think about the off side, the roughing, roughing the pastor
Speaker 1: from Mike pinal Lay in that ball game, right, and
Speaker 1: at some point, you know, one of the best things
Speaker 1: I've seen I saw yesterday was after the game Marcus
Speaker 1: made crime. Right. It's because we're defined by our losses, right,
Speaker 1: because the pain that he feels now is going to
Speaker 1: propel him in the off season become a better player.
Speaker 1: It's also are part of the scar tissue that all
Speaker 1: great football teams have, especially when you're a young football team.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of pain. There's a lot of you know, losing.
Speaker 1: And then what happens is when everybody starts to pay
Speaker 1: attention when you're successful, they forget the journey. They forget
Speaker 1: to Seattle Seahawks journey before they got Russell Wilson, when
Speaker 1: they were coming of age, when they were learning those lessons. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they were when it's having eight games a year.
Speaker 1: And remember they went into free agency signed a guy
Speaker 1: by the name of Matt Flynn. They gave him a
Speaker 1: lot of money and said, well, he's gonna be our
Speaker 1: quarterback maybe. And oh, by the way, they took a
Speaker 1: quarterback out of Wisconsin in the third round, a little
Speaker 1: guy by the name of Russell Wilson who just be
Speaker 1: can become a monster in the National Football League. And
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I think this is these are
Speaker 1: gonna be the things that they remember their land a foundation.
Speaker 1: But they have to start learning from their mistakes. You know.
Speaker 1: We don't want to see them coming up and and
Speaker 1: and beating themselves in tight games. And that's what that's
Speaker 1: what hurt the most because they came out, they looked fresh,
Speaker 1: They played with a lot of energy, they played with
Speaker 1: a lot of poise. But there's a lot of missed
Speaker 1: opportunities out there. We both we were talking off the
Speaker 1: air about Sainfarren Jenkins. Okay, the one of the drops
Speaker 1: were controversial, right because you know, I believe that he
Speaker 1: had possession of I believe it's a touchdown. I don't
Speaker 1: know what it catches in the NFL anymore. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't know either, and I need somebody to uh define
Speaker 1: a catch for me, and we might have to have
Speaker 1: somebody on uh from the National Football Yeah, maybe we'll
Speaker 1: bring in Dean He doesn't work for the NFL anymore,
Speaker 1: but he never caught a ball before in his life,
Speaker 1: and he was he's enforcing the rules. He he he
Speaker 1: wrote some of those rules. He taught the person that's
Speaker 1: that's that's interpreted in the rules. So you mentioned as
Speaker 1: J he manned up after the game he said, I
Speaker 1: have to make that catch in the Jets first possession
Speaker 1: where John Morton had a tremendous play call and McCown
Speaker 1: put the ball on Sj's hands. Unfortunately he wasn't able
Speaker 1: to corral it. And then, like you're mentioning, then late
Speaker 1: in the game again, God, Austin, I don't know what
Speaker 1: he's doing the officials, but it feels like they got
Speaker 1: they got it out for him. Um, and everybody's talking
Speaker 1: about the play calling there, uh with the Jets and
Speaker 1: John Morton, first and goal at the one and complete,
Speaker 1: but reality says second and goal at the one. You
Speaker 1: throw the fade, it's a touchdown. Yeah, and you got
Speaker 1: thinking and then nobody question in the play calling at
Speaker 1: that point. You have a six five two d and
Speaker 1: sixty pound tight end against a corner. It's a mismatch.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing that we see with Jimmy Graham,
Speaker 1: is the same thing that we see with Rob Gronkowski.
Speaker 1: You have to put the fran Jenkins in that same breath.
Speaker 1: He's that talented, and he's a guy that was brought
Speaker 1: in and drafted in the first round because of those talents,
Speaker 1: and you gotta put him in a position and he
Speaker 1: made the play. In my opinion, he made the catch,
Speaker 1: you know, but you know, they just didn't get the
Speaker 1: end result, which was the seven points on the board,
Speaker 1: which would have been huge. And you have to, you know,
Speaker 1: figure out to make sure that you make that catch
Speaker 1: more definitively. All right, we're gonna come back here and
Speaker 1: said that put the Carolina game to bed. We will
Speaker 1: look ahead to the Kansas City Chiefs coming to Malife
Speaker 1: Stadium this week and bringing is it still rivers Eislands
Speaker 1: at Vas Darrell Rivas And we have plenty more to
Speaker 1: talk about. Will be right back, Well back to inside
Speaker 1: the Jets, Eric Ellen and Bart Scott here at Vanderbilts
Speaker 1: Sports and Spirits inside kind of Hamilton's Park. Yes, the
Speaker 1: folks are excited that you are here, the mad packer,
Speaker 1: all three of them. Uh, you know what, It's just
Speaker 1: a table. I think people were scared off they saw
Speaker 1: the table had changed. So I feel like I did
Speaker 1: up the room. Man. I had to go sit at
Speaker 1: its kid table. I don't know. I don't know if
Speaker 1: there's been any announcements Bart Scott lately, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't been following what's been happening anything
Speaker 1: like that. Um, Bart, let's put a rap on this
Speaker 1: Carolina ballgame. How how did the Jets now have to
Speaker 1: respond to this? Because this has happened to them, not
Speaker 1: just a couple of times, it's happened to them on
Speaker 1: three occasions, as they've lost five out of six. Now,
Speaker 1: I think it has to be a point of focus. Um,
Speaker 1: maybe even getting some type of embolic object so that
Speaker 1: they can come to the sideline and it's a constant reminder,
Speaker 1: and you know, it's becomes a force of a point
Speaker 1: of emphasis because what happens there. Sometimes you go in
Speaker 1: and say, hey, we're gonna play clean game, we're gonna
Speaker 1: play smart, and then you lose focus because you focused
Speaker 1: from play to play and you forget about what the
Speaker 1: theme of the game is all about. You know, sometimes
Speaker 1: you know you're going to game, say okay, we're gonna
Speaker 1: physicality all weeks, physicality, physicality, and you're if you remember,
Speaker 1: you remember back in the day, the New Orleans Saints
Speaker 1: they had the back. Some guys in Jacksonville, they had
Speaker 1: the acts. Maybe maybe putting something on the sideline a reminder, yeah,
Speaker 1: put a care bear or something out there. Man's something
Speaker 1: I don't know, something that they that can remind them
Speaker 1: that when they come to the sideline that hey, we're
Speaker 1: gonna play smart. I'm dating myself manies. It could have
Speaker 1: been Christmas in a couple of weeks. But I don't
Speaker 1: know about anybody's doing. But put a little pull a
Speaker 1: little a little bit pull the baby Einstein or something
Speaker 1: on on the over bench so when they come back,
Speaker 1: they see, you gotta play smart, baby? Exactly do you
Speaker 1: like to turnover? Change? I like to turnover chage is
Speaker 1: it's like good karma. And when you when you when
Speaker 1: you when you focus on something so much, it starts
Speaker 1: to happen. You start to believe, and you get the
Speaker 1: first one, then you believe that you can get the
Speaker 1: second one, and then what happens. It's all about positive thinking,
Speaker 1: you know. So what happens is it's fun. So guys
Speaker 1: are out there and they're they're thinking about when I'm
Speaker 1: out here, Okay, let me really go and try and
Speaker 1: knock the ball. Out, Let's not just make the tackle
Speaker 1: because we got to turnover chain. And that's what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. Sometimes things symbols, you know, remind us to
Speaker 1: go out and focus on certain things, not just go
Speaker 1: for the big head or hey, let's try and get
Speaker 1: the ball out. You know we used to do that before. Well,
Speaker 1: I can't mention you're not gonna go there wherever you're going,
Speaker 1: but prest pause on that right now. Just just cash
Speaker 1: prizes and if you get certain things, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? All right, So, um, great job, I thought.
Speaker 1: By first, Clay Born and Buster Screen had one of
Speaker 1: his better games, and Jets got their hands on a
Speaker 1: lot of footballs. I believe Cam Newton just eleven and
Speaker 1: twenty eight. Did you like what you saw from the
Speaker 1: Jets corners by and large because they weren't perfect. Nobody's perfect.
Speaker 1: Devin Functious got free for over a hundred and that
Speaker 1: was the first receiver the Jets had played this year
Speaker 1: that had a hundred receiver. I mean, but that's just one,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? That was Cam's go to guy,
Speaker 1: and um, he made some good plays. But you know,
Speaker 1: the other team, you know, gets paid to you know,
Speaker 1: I like that you know, Buster was disciplined. You you
Speaker 1: talk about the tennis balls and not grabbing and things
Speaker 1: like that, and I think, you know, because once again
Speaker 1: something that made you focus on your job and not
Speaker 1: doing something that sometimes can become instinctive, you know. So
Speaker 1: I thought they did a great job. And and listen,
Speaker 1: they played good enough to win the game, you know,
Speaker 1: and I know they're tied up going there. And what
Speaker 1: happens on Monday when you lose the game, You know,
Speaker 1: they talk about all the good stuff, and then they
Speaker 1: put the five plays that cost you the game, and
Speaker 1: it's never one, but it's it's two or three. There
Speaker 1: really are pivotal in the outcome of the game. And
Speaker 1: I thought that the missed opportunities for the touchdown catches
Speaker 1: were one to punt down the middle of the football
Speaker 1: field and trying to throw the ball while you were
Speaker 1: being sacked where the game that were the biggest players
Speaker 1: in the game that contributed to the loss. You take
Speaker 1: those games those plays away. Then you punt the ball,
Speaker 1: you make Cam have to earn it, and maybe you
Speaker 1: have a different outcome. I I still think people are
Speaker 1: not giving the Jets enough credit for the talent inside
Speaker 1: the building third definite holes on this roster that they're
Speaker 1: gonna have to take a look at in the off season,
Speaker 1: whether pro free agency or the draft and make some improvements.
Speaker 1: But with that being said, we're talking about seven eight
Speaker 1: plays during the game, and they lost by five points.
Speaker 1: Five points, so the marginal error is small. I agreed
Speaker 1: to a certain extent. But we can look at seven
Speaker 1: or eight of these plays and say if they happened
Speaker 1: the Jets winning. See, the greatest thing about this season, e. A.
Speaker 1: Is that you're developing a culture, a culture of accountability,
Speaker 1: a culture of hard work, a culture of passion. You
Speaker 1: can see when they're out there, they're playing with a
Speaker 1: lot of energy that earlier that the Jets came out
Speaker 1: and they played with juice off the break. Some teams
Speaker 1: would come off a break and even though that they
Speaker 1: were at home, to be a little lethargic. Early Todd
Speaker 1: Bulls has these guys ready to roll each and every week.
Speaker 1: Last year, this was a team that frankly was lacking
Speaker 1: the juice right exactly. And let me tell you something,
Speaker 1: the rest of the league are paying attention. It's not
Speaker 1: about the wins of losses this year, right the rest
Speaker 1: of the league is paying attention, and guys that would say,
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe I wouldn't want to come to
Speaker 1: New York. Now they're saying, you know what, they're on
Speaker 1: the they're on the come up there, and I can
Speaker 1: be part of something. I could be a part of something.
Speaker 1: They have a good culture. We see this. I'm watching
Speaker 1: on the screens here. I'm watching the Knicks because of
Speaker 1: the way they play together. Their record isn't great, but
Speaker 1: because they way they play together, other creators are going
Speaker 1: to say, you know what, I'll come and play for
Speaker 1: the Knicks now. And that's what happens. We all watched.
Speaker 1: We want to win, but we want to have fun
Speaker 1: and we want to enjoy our work environment. And when
Speaker 1: you watch these young boys play, you see they play
Speaker 1: with a lot of passion, a lot of emotion, and
Speaker 1: they care about their teammates. Is not a selfish team.
Speaker 1: So now the future is right because you're gonna have
Speaker 1: guys that may take less money to come play here.
Speaker 1: Where they would have said, you know what, I crushed,
Speaker 1: I crushed. Yeah, they might have looked at this situation
Speaker 1: before and said, you know what, I don't know what's
Speaker 1: happening there. I don't want to be part of it.
Speaker 1: But like you're saying, the Jets will hide it into
Speaker 1: this offseason with a lot of money. They still want
Speaker 1: to build this team through the draft, but they've set
Speaker 1: themselves up to pro free the agency if they want
Speaker 1: to address some of their young guys in the house,
Speaker 1: but they also can address some holes with some younger
Speaker 1: players in pro free agency. I don't expect Mike mccagnan
Speaker 1: to go out there with the crazy spending because that's
Speaker 1: not going to be the answer. We talk about teams
Speaker 1: each spring who wins and that team never does anything
Speaker 1: the following year. Well, you know, Mcanney has made the
Speaker 1: mistake already right when he went out and he paid Revers.
Speaker 1: He went out and got Marshall and you know, tried
Speaker 1: to win that year, and but those guys produced early on.
Speaker 1: But but no, But what I'm saying is it did
Speaker 1: It didn't work out with Decker right when you remember,
Speaker 1: uh is it had a lot of sellar cap space,
Speaker 1: and they went on and they spent it in two
Speaker 1: years and they had to blow it all up again
Speaker 1: this time. You want to build it more through the draft,
Speaker 1: more consistently, just because you have the cash doesn't mean
Speaker 1: you have to spend all of it. You know, you
Speaker 1: have to spend the part that the NFL says you
Speaker 1: have to spend, but you can spend it over more
Speaker 1: players and just dumping a lot of money on one
Speaker 1: or two play right. And the other thing is about
Speaker 1: when you look at a roster in the National Football
Speaker 1: League over the courses, sixteen games, you guys put your
Speaker 1: bodies on the line. Not everybody's playing sixteen games. And
Speaker 1: now we look at rosters at this point in December.
Speaker 1: You have to depend on people, or not just your starters,
Speaker 1: but the guy behind him. And that's how you build
Speaker 1: a roster. And that's the beauty of this year because
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys won't be household names going forward.
Speaker 1: But what happened is now they have experience, and maybe
Speaker 1: you're bringing somebody that's gonna start above them and they
Speaker 1: become the backup. But now you have confidence in your backups.
Speaker 1: So what happens is you're only as strong as your
Speaker 1: weakest links. So what happens is a guy go down,
Speaker 1: you plug a guy in, and guess what, you're still
Speaker 1: still rolling because they understand how to play and they've
Speaker 1: had that experience. Well, guess what we have another segment
Speaker 1: here we do inside part Scott. We'll be right back
Speaker 1: here from Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits. All right, we're back
Speaker 1: here at Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits Circle and Part Scott
Speaker 1: A part. I would say, the drive at the game,
Speaker 1: the drip, uh excuse me, the trip of the game
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Antigua and Barbuda. The beach
Speaker 1: is just the beginning. I give it to John Morton
Speaker 1: and the Jets offense. Down thirty two to twenty in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, they responded with a must score possession
Speaker 1: and Morton was patient. He stuck to the run game
Speaker 1: and then eventually went upstairs to Jermaine Curse and Josh
Speaker 1: McCollum culminated that possession with the three yard scoring pass
Speaker 1: to Curse. I thought that was a great drive because
Speaker 1: Morton did not panic. The Jets were down twelve after
Speaker 1: that run from the Panthers, and he stuck to the ground,
Speaker 1: remained patient against the Carolina Panthers. They went down the
Speaker 1: field and they gave themselves a chance to get back
Speaker 1: in the ball game. I think he's a he's a
Speaker 1: great play call. I think he had the the feel
Speaker 1: of the team, in the in the the way that
Speaker 1: the game is starting to take take shape, and understanding that.
Speaker 1: You know, of course the first couple of plays that
Speaker 1: you know, when you're trying to come back, they're playing
Speaker 1: for the big play. Yeah, and you can't get twelve
Speaker 1: points in one play exactly. So what happens is if
Speaker 1: they're giving away the big run, you know, they're getting
Speaker 1: a light box and you take it. And then what
Speaker 1: happens is they gotta show their hand because they started
Speaker 1: to realize, okay, we're giving up ten ten yard chunks,
Speaker 1: you know, so let's let's let's put an eighth man
Speaker 1: in the box. And when that when that opportunity presents itself,
Speaker 1: do you go up top? The other the other thing
Speaker 1: that Morton did against the Panthers that I really liked
Speaker 1: this He exploited the weaknesses because Carolina went in that game,
Speaker 1: if you really looked at it, solid at all three levels,
Speaker 1: but they had some cornerback issues. Captain Munterland not in
Speaker 1: the ballgame. Shack Thompson a wonderful athlete, he was playing
Speaker 1: inside a lot. So the Jets took advantage of Jermaine Curse.
Speaker 1: I also thought. We're seeing Robby Anderson continue to develop.
Speaker 1: The jets are moving them all over the place, and
Speaker 1: we're seeing what he can do. Both Robbie Anderson and
Speaker 1: Jeremine curse Gold for over a hundred yards against Carolina.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think when you really, you know, break
Speaker 1: down the Russian numbers two, they weren't as bad as
Speaker 1: people thought. You know, they were spread out over three players,
Speaker 1: but if you add them all up, I believe it
Speaker 1: was a hundred and twenty one yard. You know, if
Speaker 1: you want to ask at Jash mcconound of carries, that's
Speaker 1: not too bad, you know. But I think, um, definitely,
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson is coming into his owner. He's playing with
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence. I like to see him show
Speaker 1: a little bit more maturity than not talk about the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, understanding that's not the right time to talk
Speaker 1: about that. Bulls didn't dress that. He said that. Robbie
Speaker 1: and I talked about it. I don't think that's gonna
Speaker 1: happen again. Yeah, but you know that that that showed
Speaker 1: that that that can be um, you know, seeing as selfish,
Speaker 1: you know, so I think he'll learn from that and
Speaker 1: understanding that. Listen, he has a long way to go
Speaker 1: before he gets there, you know, and you know when
Speaker 1: when when you're a pro bowler, you don't have to
Speaker 1: campaign for it. The other thing that gets overlooked in
Speaker 1: all this is that Jets third down defense was tremendous.
Speaker 1: I believe leave Carolina finished three or fourteen on third down.
Speaker 1: That was the NFL's number one ranked offense on third down.
Speaker 1: So hopefully they can build on that this week against
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. Well, you know why because they
Speaker 1: won and they were successful in trying to slow down
Speaker 1: to run. You never stopped to run, you know. Carolina
Speaker 1: Pathers are very physical football team, talented and with the
Speaker 1: read option, you know, Cam Newtons gives them a different
Speaker 1: dimension that the defense. But what I would like to
Speaker 1: see them do though, is really figure out, you know,
Speaker 1: this offset back stuff, because I saw that, you know,
Speaker 1: a couple of times, the linebackers are still getting you know,
Speaker 1: tricked with the formation recognition, and they have to come
Speaker 1: up with some type of scheme schematically where you can
Speaker 1: call to get help either from the d N or
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pass those routes because they were
Speaker 1: getting picked, you know. And even though the last one,
Speaker 1: you know to McCaffrey was a little bit too far.
Speaker 1: He still was open. So it's just's things like that
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to learn. And I think they'll do that.
Speaker 1: They'll see that this week because you know, you talk
Speaker 1: about one of the best play callers in the game
Speaker 1: and Andy Reid, and he's going to see that. Kareem
Speaker 1: Hunt is struggling. Um, he talked about somebody starting well,
Speaker 1: so so can Todd Bowls take anything from the Buffalo
Speaker 1: Bill's defensive game plan where they played nickel the whole game,
Speaker 1: predominantly putting an extra man in the box and played
Speaker 1: zone in the back end. Well, I think so, man.
Speaker 1: I think right now, Alex Smith is starting to feel
Speaker 1: the pressure. You know, we talk about you know, Mahomes,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, breathing on his heels, and now
Speaker 1: people are talking about maybe you know, he needs to
Speaker 1: to be benched. You know, after he started off pushing
Speaker 1: the ball down the field. Now I think he's starting
Speaker 1: to to to to really be scared to push the
Speaker 1: ball down the field because now he's afraid of mistakes.
Speaker 1: And now when you start thinking about it, so he's
Speaker 1: not playing well, he's turning the football over. You talk
Speaker 1: about that costly pick that he had yesterday where he
Speaker 1: basically threw it to a wide open defender that was
Speaker 1: just sitting there doubling. You know, if you can take
Speaker 1: away Kelsey and and try and limit, you know, can't
Speaker 1: let Tyreek Heill, he'll get loose. But I think you
Speaker 1: talked about somebody hitting the rookie wall. I think Kareem Hunt,
Speaker 1: and Kareem Hunt, even though he may not be the
Speaker 1: best player, he's the most important player because he's a
Speaker 1: guy that's easier to get the ball too, because like
Speaker 1: how to do is turn around and give it to him.
Speaker 1: You just gotta turn things back inside for him. And
Speaker 1: where I think the Jets going to this ball game
Speaker 1: much like last week. It's a little bit different because
Speaker 1: Cam Newton far different quarterback than Alex Smith. But I
Speaker 1: think the Jets have a big time advantage up front,
Speaker 1: their their defensive line going against the Chief's offensive line.
Speaker 1: You talked about the lack of depth again because they
Speaker 1: have so many players that make so much money. You
Speaker 1: talk about Houston, You talked about Alex Smith, you talked
Speaker 1: about Eric Berry. You know a lot of guys that
Speaker 1: you know there are in the top one or two
Speaker 1: in their in their respective positions. And what happens is
Speaker 1: they have that lack of depth, and they've had a
Speaker 1: lot of injuries, and now you're starting to see that
Speaker 1: they don't have the depth, and now they're trying to
Speaker 1: supplement guys and trying and figure out different ways. But
Speaker 1: they can't do what they did earlier season. What the
Speaker 1: Jets have to do is make sure that they don't
Speaker 1: get healthy against them, they don't get confidence against it,
Speaker 1: because they're gonna be facing a very, very desperate football team,
Speaker 1: because the Chargers are on their hills and things can
Speaker 1: turn around quickly. In the National Football League. We saw
Speaker 1: the Jets put the Buffalo Bills in a towel spin.
Speaker 1: But then a Buffalo team who you thought would get
Speaker 1: run out of the stadium at Arrowhead went into Kansas
Speaker 1: City and they were the desperate team and they took
Speaker 1: care of business with a good defensive effort. Defensively, were
Speaker 1: you surprised that your former coach Bob Sutton and the
Speaker 1: rest of the Chiefs organization decided to pick up the
Speaker 1: Roll Reeves because he could be playing opposite one of
Speaker 1: the game's top cornerbacks and Marcus Peters this weekend. Marcus Peterson,
Speaker 1: you gotta love him and reminded me a lot of
Speaker 1: Delta O'Neill because he'll he'll jump anything. Man. He asked
Speaker 1: the preme confidence in itself, but he'll give up the
Speaker 1: big player as well. And I think that Reeves is
Speaker 1: a security, uh blanket that they want to have for
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I don't know if you see Reeves in
Speaker 1: the first three of four weeks of him being there.
Speaker 1: They got to get him up to game speed. And
Speaker 1: what you would hate to do is give him a
Speaker 1: two year contract and have him pull his hamstring because
Speaker 1: no matter what he's been doing in Miami and training,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he's been preparing. So you don't think
Speaker 1: we're gonna see a lot of them this week, I
Speaker 1: don't think so. I think you know they'll maybe working
Speaker 1: in week three as they try and maybe working into
Speaker 1: a Nickel package things like that, because what happens is
Speaker 1: you saw it happen with Lebyan Belle. You see it
Speaker 1: all the time when guys come in mid season late,
Speaker 1: they try and play a game speed and they're not
Speaker 1: a depth to it because they haven't really ramped themselves
Speaker 1: up and they pull a hamstrings, have soft tissue injuries
Speaker 1: and the other thing people are asking about whether he's
Speaker 1: gonna be working a slot. I just can't see that.
Speaker 1: For Darrell Reeves, that was never his deal, even in
Speaker 1: the prime of his career. Well he did that against
Speaker 1: Wells Walker, um when he shoutowed West Walker and Wes
Speaker 1: Welker always went to the slot. You know what, people
Speaker 1: don't realize the fact that Reeves hasn't played in a
Speaker 1: while has allowed a lot of those little nagging injuries
Speaker 1: that somebody who retired those nagging injuries to heal up.
Speaker 1: So if he's a healthy Reeves, then he's worked his
Speaker 1: way to go because he can help you because now
Speaker 1: he's gonna be going against the second and third receiver
Speaker 1: because they have a number one corner and people. But
Speaker 1: the thing that Kansas City does that's interesting. On the
Speaker 1: defensive side, they don't move, they won't shadow like Darrell
Speaker 1: when he was here back in the day. We know
Speaker 1: we have watched Rex Ryan Uh at times. You know,
Speaker 1: send him with with with the opponent. The top receiver,
Speaker 1: um Marcus Peter is gonna stay to his side predominantly.
Speaker 1: That's the way they're doing in Kansas City. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: But Bob Sutton knows Reevers very well. So if Peters
Speaker 1: has to move because Reevers is more comfortable here, I
Speaker 1: think he'll share Reevings up for success, because when you're
Speaker 1: the number one corner, you have to travel. We saw
Speaker 1: that happen later in Richard Sherman's career too, you know,
Speaker 1: later in a couple of years when he was a
Speaker 1: shot down the corner that always played on the left side.
Speaker 1: If we need you to move that way, you know
Speaker 1: you want this money, you'll move. Fascinating matchup, but you
Speaker 1: think the Jets has to be prepared for a wounded
Speaker 1: animal in the Kansas City Chiefs that's desperate. You talk
Speaker 1: about their sputtering out of control. You have a veteran
Speaker 1: who knows that he's probably not gonna be there next year.
Speaker 1: He knows that he has up his resume so that
Speaker 1: he can go to the to the to the highest
Speaker 1: bidder next year, and he knows that he the time
Speaker 1: is now. This may be his last opportunity to win
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. We got about forty five seconds left.
Speaker 1: Tier on inside the Jets, Bark, Scott and I will
Speaker 1: be at MetLife Stadium for the Madden go back, there
Speaker 1: will be here. We don't. We don't want to see
Speaker 1: that because there's somebody on the cover. We don't really like.
Speaker 1: That's cool. We get to blow that up out the words,
Speaker 1: we get the pope. We can put mustache on it,
Speaker 1: we can put Bookers in his nose, all that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. You go kill. We're not even gonna tell
Speaker 1: you he's on the cover. But are you excited for
Speaker 1: Wednesday night at MetLife Stadium? Do you? Did you ever
Speaker 1: played man ever? I played Madden until I got into
Speaker 1: the NFL, and Matten didn't put me on the game
Speaker 1: for the first three years, and I thought he knew
