Here. We will be joined tonight by 9 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,599 Speaker 1: both Andre Roberts and Henry Anderson. But as we kick 10 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: off here on our opening segment, E Coleman or Postmortem. 11 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: The Jets went into a ballgame against the Minnesota Vikings 12 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: with an opportunity to sweep a three game homestand and 13 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: moved to four and three. Unfortunately, they couldn't get it 14 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: done against a very good football team. The Vikings take 15 00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: home a thirty seven to seventeen triumph. For me, the 16 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: Jets did a lot of good things yesterday even though 17 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: they lost by twenty points. But the bottom line is 18 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: this team has been living off a takeaways. Defensively, had 19 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: entered that ball game with fifteen takeaways on the year 20 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: that was second in the National Football League Day zero 21 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: against the Vikings. The Vikings conversely had four. The Jets 22 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: did some good things defensively, got off the field on 23 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: third down, and handled that Vikings run game in the 24 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: first half. What we saw in the second half, though, 25 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: was the Vikings got a couple of big plays from 26 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: Lottavius Murray and the Jets just couldn't overcome their own 27 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: miscuse too many self inflicted wounds to beat a very 28 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: good football team in the Minnesota Vikings. Yeah, you know, 29 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I thought the Jets came off 30 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,639 Speaker 1: and started off well, you know, playing against the Vikings, 31 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: a team who a lot of people before the season 32 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: had up for, you know, super Bowl contenders, and they're 33 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: starting to play that way now. You know, obviously a 34 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: lot of talent on that Vikings team. But at the 35 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: same time, the Jets did have a couple of self 36 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: inflicted wounds that kept him from winning that game. You know, 37 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,839 Speaker 1: the score was there's a big margin, but the game, 38 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: you know, there were a couple of plays that if 39 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: they would have went the Jets way the game, the 40 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: whole game would have been different. So, you know, I 41 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: thought that a lot of players stepped up and played 42 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: some good ball yesterday. But there were a lot of 43 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: miscuse you know. There were some drop passes, there were 44 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: some uh, you know, the two runs by Latavia's Murray, 45 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: a couple of misfits by the by the defense. Um, 46 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: you know, those are things that can't happen, you know. 47 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: And and obviously the turnover battle. When you lose the 48 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: turnover batt or four to nothing, it's gonna be tough 49 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: to get anybody in the National Football League. You could 50 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: be playing the Bills, you could be playing the Colts. 51 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: If you lose the turnover battle four to zero, you're 52 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: most likely not gonna win. This just happened to be 53 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: a very good football team. The Jets in the locker 54 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: room after the game, they were not lamning entries. But 55 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: the bottom line here is the Jets were banked up 56 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: squad going into that game. And you have a rookie 57 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: quarterback who is going to be a very good player 58 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 1: in this league. But when you ask him to put 59 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: the ball up forty two times, it's gonna be tough 60 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: to win. And oh, by the way, his top weapon, 61 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: Quincy and Noona is out. Terrell Prior was released from 62 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: the team on Saturday, he has a groin injury, so 63 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: that puts people in different spots. And then offensively as well, 64 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: you're talking about bel Paul. He is one of the 65 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: team's top offensive weapons. He goes down with the neck injury. 66 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: On the defensive side of the ball, that secondary tremendously 67 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: banged up. Tremaine Johnson still dealing with that quad issue. 68 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: You got Buster Screen with the concussion. He's been out, 69 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: and then Marcus. You lined up without Marcus May at 70 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: safety and Doug Middleton went down yesterday. Yeah, you know, 71 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: the injuries are our reality in the NFL. You know, 72 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: it's a long season, sixteen game season. By the end 73 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: of the year, everybody's playing through some sort of injury 74 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: and teams have to adjust to it. You know, you 75 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: saw offensively, it was it's kind of that next man 76 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: up mentality where you have uh, you know, the receiver 77 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: stepping up. You have big playmakers coming up. Cannon had 78 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: a couple of big plays at the running back position yesterday. Defensively, 79 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: in the secondary, that's the group I've been most impressed with. 80 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: You know, they lose three starters in the secondary and 81 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: don't really miss a beat, you know, they gave up 82 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: a couple of big plays, but you look at Darrel 83 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: Roberts his place, stepping up and making some big plays. 84 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: You know that group is the next man up mentality. Uh. 85 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: You know, they believe in you were only as good 86 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: as our weakest link. And they that group really prepares 87 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: themselves to play well. You know. I think the adversity 88 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: is something that this team is gonna have to go through, 89 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: as every team will, and it makes it especially difficult 90 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: for a team with the rookie quarterback missing some key components. 91 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: It makes it tough for him to succeed without many 92 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: of their weapons. A credit to Vikings the defense of 93 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: the game plan, because they took away the jets bread 94 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: and butter. This team is all about having balance offensively, 95 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: getting it going with the run game, and what we 96 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: saw Sunday too off and the Jets weren't third and long, 97 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: third and seven, and Minnesota entered that ball game number 98 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: one in the National Football League in terms of third 99 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: down efficiency. What they were able to do is play 100 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: too high safety, so they did not commit an extra 101 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: guy to the box. They took care of the run game, 102 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: and then they were able to take care of the 103 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: receivers down in the field. What did you think of 104 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: Donald's performance? Again, he's another one who said, Okay, listen, 105 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: I gotta play better. It doesn't matter who's playing with 106 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: me or around me. The chemistry is fine. And that 107 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: was the first time you probably played in conditions like that. 108 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: I was down on the field pregame with Anti Anthony 109 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: Beck our pregame Central Show, which is broadcasting all Jets 110 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: platforms at eleven am, uh four home games proborly to 111 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: one o'clock game, And it was cold and the wing 112 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: gusts were probably around twenty miles par Yeah, I mean, 113 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's cold for everybody out there. Yeah, and 114 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: you have to make adjustments. But Minnesota has lived for 115 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: several years off of playing that cover to defense, having 116 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: a strong front for a front seven, and having those 117 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: owners attacking the run game. So you know, I think 118 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: they were They did do a great job of making 119 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: the Jets play left hand and taken away what they do, 120 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: which is the run game, and compliment that with the 121 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: play action game. When you can't run, the ball is 122 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: tough to run. The play action game's tough to uh, 123 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: you know, keep teams off balance offensively, so Minnesota taking 124 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: away that run, put the ball in Sam Donald's hands, 125 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: made him throw the ball forty two times, which this 126 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: team is not built for. There There rarely are there 127 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: teams that can have success with their quarterbacks. The last 128 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: couple of times, the last couple of games, he's been 129 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: throwing the ball fifty, you know, fifty five times a 130 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: game and they have not been winning. You know, only 131 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: Drew Brees can do that. Tom Brady can do it 132 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: on occasion. You know, you're you're not built to throw 133 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: the ball around the park, especially with his many injuries 134 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: to the receivers. All right, So offensively, I continue to 135 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: like what I've seen out of Chris Herndon, a fourth 136 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: round pick out of Miami, and Sam Donald's getting more 137 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: and more confident with him each week. We saw him 138 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: with a touchdown reception against Indianapolis Colts, he had a 139 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: touch reception against the Vikings. He had one called back. 140 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: But that connection could be one that flourishes for years 141 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: to come. Yeah, you know, I was excited to see 142 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: that connection. You know, Chris hern and a guy who 143 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: who came in and when Scott saw him, he didn't 144 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: get to run a forty so not a lot of 145 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: people had a forty time for They didn't realize the 146 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: speed that this guy has. You know, a great route runner. 147 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: You know, he's getting better at blocking. You know, he 148 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: has some tough guys to block against in practice, so 149 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: he's getting better continuously with that and he and he 150 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: and Sam Donald are starting to get a nice rapport. 151 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: So you'd like to see the Jets starting to use 152 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: that tight end position, a position that's been abandoned for 153 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: the last couple of years. Hopefully, blow Paul is okay 154 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: because he is such an integral part of this football team. 155 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: But Trent and Cannon got his feet wet and that 156 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: was good to see as well, because he has speed 157 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: to burn. You put him out and they had a 158 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: beautiful explosion completion in terms of the wheel route in 159 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: the first half there. So, uh, Cannon getting very valuable 160 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: reps as well. Yeah, you know, Cannon is a guy 161 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: who made some great plays during the preseason. A young 162 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: player or dynamic speed can make guys miss, you know. 163 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: I always say for the running backs that the toughest 164 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: part is learning how to pass block, you know, because 165 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: you can't play if you can't you know, adjust to 166 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: the blitz. Uh, you know, pass and you're probably not 167 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: plass blocking a lot of Virginia states. Yeah, they're getting 168 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: you the ball. And he's a playmaker. You know, he's 169 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: a guy who can develop into a great playmaker, similar 170 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: to a Bala Pal one of those guys when he 171 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: kept when he gets the ball to the backfield, he 172 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: has an opportunity to hit his head on the field 173 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: goal post whenever he gets the ball, all right. You know, 174 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: like you mentioned, the Jets had opportunities. As a ball game. 175 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: It was ten of seven at halftime, seventeen of seven 176 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: early in the third quarter. When Donald makes one of 177 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: his mistakes. They're one of his glaring mistakes where he 178 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: throws the Robby Anderson and he admitted after the game 179 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: that just a bad reed because Robbie was covered there 180 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: and the safety Harrison Smith was all all over the top. Yeah, 181 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, those plays are gonna happen. You know, 182 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: you're gonna make mistakes, and that's the that's what you 183 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: get when you come in with the rookie quarterback. You know, 184 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: a lot of times when the rookies get to sit 185 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: back and watch, they can learn from others mistakes. But 186 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: playing against his Minnesota Vikings defense. They have one of 187 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: the top secondaries in the league. Harrison Smith is all pro. 188 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: You know, Trey Waynes is a phenomenal player. Xavier Rhodes 189 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: is a pro bowler. You know, this is the This 190 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 1: is not your average secondary that he was playing against. 191 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: He made things tough on the receivers and they're gonna 192 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: do that to teams throughout the rest of the year. Yeah, 193 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: and then you can even look later in the game. 194 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: It's twenty to seven and Andre Roberts, who is going 195 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: to join us on the show as a tremendous kickoff 196 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: return to get the Jets in the plus territory. And 197 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: no fault on the rookie here, Sam Donald. He throws 198 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: a couple nice check downs one did Isaiah Croal and 199 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: also he moves his legs to get out of the 200 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: pocket and he finds Eric Thomlinson and those guys just 201 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: gotta make those catches. Yeah, you know, you have to 202 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: come through, especially when you're struggling offensively. You need some 203 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: players to come through, make those routine catches and move 204 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: the chains, get that momentum going, because when you're having 205 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: a tough game offensively, all it takes sometimes is one 206 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: or two big plays to get your momentum, to get 207 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: everyone's confidence going, and next thing you know, you're back 208 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: in that game. And then another opportunity. It's twenty seven seventeen. 209 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people left Mountlife Stadium at 210 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: that point after the Vikings had taken that seventeen point lead. 211 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: But Donald comes back and it's a ten point game 212 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: with ten minutes remaining, and the Jets had the ball 213 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: out close to midfield and Donald's looking for Andre Roberts. 214 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: I thought the traffic at his feet affected him, impacted 215 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: him where he couldn't step into the throw, and unfortunately 216 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: that ball was picked and eventually the Vikings put it away. Yeah, 217 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you get those those balls where you're 218 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: throwing the dig routes and the ball sales on you. 219 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: Minnesota does a great job of playing that zone coverage 220 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: where you have defenders underneath, guys coming over the top, 221 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: where it's a short window, you know, and those mistakes 222 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,599 Speaker 1: are gonna be made. But again, another opportunity that the 223 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: Jets had that they kind of shoot themselves in the foot, 224 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: or if they don't make that mistake, maybe they're in 225 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: the game, you know, there's three or four plays in 226 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: this game that Jets were that the Jets didn't or 227 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: if they did make, they'd be right in there. And 228 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: that's exactly the point. People wake up Monday morning. They 229 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: don't watch the game and say the Jets, we're not 230 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: in that ball game. They lose by twenty points. If 231 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: you watch the game and you bring it back, the 232 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: three or four plays could be a different outcome. But 233 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: that is life in the National Football League, and the 234 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: Jets bottom line is stepped up in class yesterday. Beating 235 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: the Colts is one thing. Beating the Broncos on a 236 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: short week is one thing. But the Vikings they're on 237 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: another level. Yeah, you know, you know, like I said 238 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the show, they're a team that's 239 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: gonna be up to win the NFC North. You know, 240 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: they're they're they're up there with the Green Bay Packers 241 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: of the of the NFC. I think they have a 242 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 1: phenomenal talent. You know, they went with the wind now mentality, 243 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: getting Kirk Cousins, you know, quarterback who who's a gun slinger. 244 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: He has some great weapons out there. And Stefind Diggs 245 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: and Adam Feeling, who's about who has been setting records, 246 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: you know since he started playing. You know, he phenomenal talent. 247 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: Latavia's Murray stepped up big time yesterday and you know 248 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: they were missing down Cook. But Latavius has been a 249 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: phenomenal player his whole career, even when he was back 250 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: in Oakland. All right.

Inside the 260 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: Jets is presented by e Y Building a Better Working World. 261 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: Eric Eric Ellen and Eric Coleman here alongside Andre Roberts, 262 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: Art player Guest segment is presented by M ANDT Bank, 263 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: the official community bank of your New York Jets so 264 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: we're just talking about Andre before you joined us. How 265 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: tough were those conditions at My Life Stadium. It reminded 266 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: me of the old Metal Lands. Yeah, it was pretty crazy. Um, 267 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: the worst I've ever played in. UM. Last year when 268 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: we played here in Atlanta was kind of like a 269 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: tropical storm. Yeah, and it was. It was kind of windy, 270 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: but it wasn't anything like what I experienced last game. Now, Andre, 271 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: in a day and age where it seems like they're 272 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: trying to get rid of the kickoff and make special 273 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: teams almost obsolete, how have you continue to thrive and 274 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: be so successful in your career. It's interesting they're trying 275 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 1: to take out that that return specialist thing. Um, But 276 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,719 Speaker 1: you know, when you have guys back there that could 277 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: be explosive, that can be dynamic, especially guys that can 278 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: do both kickoff and palm return, I think it could 279 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: be pretty special. So you after the game, Andre described 280 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: your day as up and down. There were a couple 281 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: of field goals I mean fumbles. Uh, Fortunately you guys 282 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 1: didn't give up points after those were able to recall 283 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: over those. And then you had a fifty three yard 284 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: kickoff return that led to a field goal. And a 285 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: forty two yard return that led to a touchdown in 286 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Yeah, um, almost two yards. And the 287 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: kickoff return game, which you really like it was a 288 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,439 Speaker 1: huge UM. But in the punt return game, but not 289 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: much going on the muff punt. Unfortunately we got that back. 290 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: But you know, that's the kind of up and down 291 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: I was thinking about, UM, but special teams in general. Uh, 292 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: you know, we had kind of a messed up snap there. Um, 293 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: some of our punts were kind of but it was 294 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: a windy game, and uh, we kind of take it 295 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: with a grain assault and understand what the elements were 296 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: what we had to deal with. But we also understand that, 297 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna have some windy games coming up soon. 298 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: All the games uh so far, I mean going out 299 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: to the end of the season are all outside. So 300 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna have some win and we got 301 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: to deal with it right way. Do you put that 302 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: on yourself to provide this team a spark because they're 303 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: in the second half. You almost single handedly put this 304 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: team right back in the ball given you have that 305 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: fifty three yard to return most definitely UM kick return 306 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: or a punt return. UM. I feel like when I 307 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: do get a good opportunity, have a chance to either 308 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: take it to the house or I have a big return. 309 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: So I think my teammates that expect that out of me, 310 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: especially now, and I try to provide that every time 311 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: I took the ball. Now. Now, coming into playing the Vikings, 312 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: they're typically known for their their very good special teams units. 313 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: Do you guys take that as a challenge upon yourself? 314 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: Is you know this week we're playing the Vikings, we 315 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: have to win their special teams battle if we're gonna 316 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to win this game. You take it 317 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: as a challenge every week. Um, you don't take any 318 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: team lightly, regardless of what they did last week or 319 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: what they did last year or you know who they have, so, um, 320 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: we don't take any team lightly. We take everybody like 321 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: they're the best special teams. We gotta beat them all. 322 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: But how difficult was it whether you're feeling a punt 323 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: yesterday or or a kickoff when that wind is swirling 324 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: like it was, because you can't get a beat on 325 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: the ball some times because it can be in midflight 326 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: and either hang off or slightly changed directions on you. Yeah, 327 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: I did that a couple of times. Um, it's one 328 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: of those things where we kind of do practice in 329 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: the wind from time to time. We practice outside. Obviously 330 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: last week if you're outside at all, it was windy 331 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: all week, so we got a little bit of work 332 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: with that. But um, like I said before, I put 333 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: that on myself, I have to practice that, get better 334 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: with that, and um, sometimes it's a little inconsistent with 335 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: the wind. You never know what, especially when disgusting like 336 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: it was on Sunday. But I gotta catch them all. Now, 337 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: now can we talk. We're gonna talk injuries now, Quincy 338 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: and done walked down. You know you lose, you lose 339 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: prior you gets released after an injury. A lot of 340 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: opportunities in the receiving room. How do you take advantage of, 341 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: you know, both being the head guy on special teams 342 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: and preparing yourself offensively to come in and play at 343 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: that receiver positions. Well, I've been preparing every week, um, 344 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: as if I was gonna play and as if I 345 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: was gonna start. So obviously, Um, being behind those guys, 346 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 1: you don't get the same reps. Just like a backup 347 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: quarterback or a backup par it back, you won't get 348 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: the same amount of reps as those starters. But um, 349 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: I always prepare like a little bit of starter, and 350 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: you know, myself and others have to step up in 351 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: the place of q Andre seventeen and the fourth Donald 352 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: tried to go to you. But what did you see 353 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: as far as from your perspective on the route and 354 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 1: what was the thought processor? Um, it was just a 355 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 1: dagger out a fifteen yard in and uh looking at 356 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: the film especially, Uh Sam met a lot of pressure 357 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: in his face, so he expected me to roll out 358 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 1: of it, Uh sooner than later. And uh we just 359 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: didn't connect. Uh. Those are kind of the nuances that 360 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: you get from practicing, being able to get those reps 361 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: in practice as opposed to just having to watch and 362 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: and get mental reps and you know, run your routes 363 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: after practice not getting those reps. Um, well we practiced 364 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: that and um, you know, and practice it's a little 365 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: bit slower when you don't have a pass rush coming 366 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: after quarterback because you know, in practice, our guys can't 367 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: hit the quarterback. So UM, that's one of those things 368 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 1: we kind of need to speed up a little bit more, 369 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 1: um and understand in game time situation, especially in the 370 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Uh, you know you're gonna have to be 371 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: a little bit faster in those situations. Is that something 372 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: you take care of on Monday or can you take 373 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: care of that immediately after when you guys go to 374 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: the bench because there's so many things going on. Um, 375 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: that's something you take care of after the game. Yeah, yeah, UM. Okay. 376 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: So Andre, you're a free agent before coming here to 377 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: the Green and White in the spring, what was the 378 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: process like and how did you land here? As a Jet? 379 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: Free agency is always fun you get to come back 380 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 1: to the table. Um. But there were some teams. Uh, 381 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: obviously I was looking forward to uh meeting and and 382 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: going to and UM at the end of the process, 383 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: Uh that Jets had the best opportunity for me at 384 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 1: the receiver position and the return position. Obviously, UM, I 385 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: did some good things in Atlanta, Detroit and the return games, 386 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 1: so they wanted me to come here and be exposed 387 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: for them in that aspect. But when I got here, 388 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: you know, I said, earned my job and they saw 389 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: some good things in me as a returner and the receiver, 390 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 1: so I stuck. Now that as a special teamer, there's 391 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: obviously a sense of pride and being that guy on 392 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: special teams, in the kickoff game, in the punt game. 393 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: Do you pride yourself on being that person that gets 394 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 1: double teams every time? You know? Because when when when 395 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: I back, when I played on special teams, it was 396 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: always you know what, you gotta watch up for this guy? 397 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: Do you take pride to being that person? I take 398 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: a lot of pride in that. Um One thing about 399 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: being a returner is different from offense, where everybody knows 400 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna get the ball as you as a punt 401 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: returner and kick returner. So it's not like a couple 402 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: of guys or three, three or four guys are coming 403 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: after you. It's it's all ten or eleven guys. If 404 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: you don't, you know, include the kicker, or include the kicker. 405 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: But um uh, that's one thing I do take a 406 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: lot of pride in and and no, I have a 407 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 1: big responsibility for this team. As a reminder inside the Jets, 408 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: in November five will be a closed military appreciation of that. 409 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: We look forward seeing you the following week on November twelve, 410 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: So November five will be a closed military appreciation event. 411 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: Speaking of the military, how much did that have an 412 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: influence on you? Grown up a big part of my life. 413 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: Both my parents were in the military, retired army and 414 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: uh I went to the cidtles so I have a 415 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: lot of friends that are still in the military. So, um, 416 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: it was a big part of my life. Moved around 417 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: a little bit. I was born in Alaska, lived most 418 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 1: of my life and uh in South Carolina, moved to 419 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: Texas and around a little bit. But it's a huge 420 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: part of my life. So it is the military still 421 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: in the cards. Say when you hang them up, do 422 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: you still have aspirations to to become a part of 423 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,959 Speaker 1: the military. No, um and nothing like that. Um, when 424 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: I get done playing football and let my body rest 425 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: and hopefully sell some chicken at Zack. Well, okay, so 426 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: what are your parents still active? And can you tell 427 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: us what they both did or currently do? And also 428 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: growing up in a military household, how different was that 429 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,719 Speaker 1: in addition to the moving around. Maybe from what you 430 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: saw of your friends. Uh so yeah, Um, both my 431 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: parents were retired now. My mom retired as a first sergeant, 432 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: my dad retired as a command sergeant major. Um, so 433 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: they're pretty pretty high ranked and growing up. Um, you know, 434 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: it's a little bit stricter in my in my household, 435 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure. UM, And you know, moving around a little bit. Fortunately. UM. 436 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: I moved around when I was younger. So I was 437 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: in Alaska for two years, don't really remember it. UM. 438 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: Went to Texas for four years, definitely remember that. UM. 439 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: Going to elementary school. UM, and then moved to South Carolina. Parents, 440 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: went to Korea, moved to St. Coquartery with my grandparents, 441 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: then came back to South Carolina. I finish high school there. 442 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: So I was fortunate enough to finish high school with 443 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: my friends. That's cool. So does that at all prepare 444 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: you for life in the NFL, because if you're if 445 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna stay around for long enough in the NFL, 446 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna hit some hit a couple of teams. Does 447 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: that help with the with the moving around and changing 448 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: most definitely? UM. I think that's one of the reasons 449 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: why I love to travel now. UM. Obviously, when you're 450 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: in the NFL, you kind of want to stick with 451 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: one team. But it's my fifth team and I'm enjoying 452 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: the moves. So it's been good. So where's butt your 453 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: your most recent destinations in terms of travel in all 454 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: season anyway? Uh? Well right now Australia, Australia, Australia. Um, 455 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: I just had a had a baby, uh five months 456 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: now and uh he was born in Australia. Is a 457 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:41,479 Speaker 1: little citizen. Yeah, give a right of a plot Jackson 458 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: Jackson cool. So, Um, I've been going going back and 459 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: forth there. Obviously not during the season. They'll be coming 460 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: over here on the thirties actually, but um, this offseason 461 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 1: I was over there a bunch. So how does that 462 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: change your perspective not having a little one. Yeah, this 463 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: is my My whole floor is pretty much at play, matt. Um, 464 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get ready. You know, they're they've been 465 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: over in Australia, so I've kind of been I make 466 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 1: shift dad, kind of just trying to make them some 467 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: things happen, getting the crib here and there. But I 468 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: haven't had to do too much. When I was over there, 469 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: I had to uh change some diapers. But she's been 470 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: holding down the fort, so I know I have some 471 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 1: big things come whenever they get hire. But you got 472 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: a good lady, so so you're gonna be one of 473 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: those dads that's gonna maybe prove the entire house right 474 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 1: most definitely, And then when you have your second kid, 475 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: it's just gonna go by the wayside. You know what, 476 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to keep it the same. I'm gonna 477 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: just make sure I have all the um plugs locked 478 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: in with with plastic and try to keep everything the same. 479 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: But I'm sure it'll be a little bit easier with 480 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: the second. Well, listen, you've got a lot of great 481 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: things going on in your life on and off the field. 482 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: I think you've been an instant impact for this team 483 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: throughout the first seven games. It's already the season is 484 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: already reaching its midway point. But Andre, we thank you 485 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: so much for stopping by Tonight.

What are you doing on 502 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: the third day of the draft when you're the thinking, hey, yeah, 503 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: I just probably got a lazy saturday at Yeah. I 504 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: was like, I was just honestly chilling in my, uh 505 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: my house in Indie playing video games. What video game 506 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: where you're playing pub g Player Unknowns Battlegrounds. It's kind 507 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: of like Fortnite but a little bit different, but just 508 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: chilling playing video games. And then I have my phone 509 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: nice to me look down as the GM's name on it, 510 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 1: and I figured I should probably put down the put 511 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 1: down the video game and pick up the phone. And uh, yeah, 512 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: he told me that they were just they're gonna trade 513 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: me to to New York. Um he talked a little 514 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: bit after that, but um, soon after, Coach Bowls called, 515 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: Um d Lion coach called, and UM got everything set 516 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,239 Speaker 1: up to fly up here? How crazy was that it was? 517 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: It was weird just because like one second, Um, you're 518 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,199 Speaker 1: thinking you're gonna be in an indie for the for 519 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: the next year, and then all of a sudden you 520 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: get a call and like your whole life change is 521 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: pretty much in an instant. So it was definitely weird. Um, 522 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: how does the GM deliver that message? By the way, Hey, Andry, 523 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: how's it going. It's Chris. I just wanted to tell 524 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: you I was shipping in to New York. I mean, 525 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: he he was. He had mentioned that, like obviously that's 526 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 1: kind of the the the crabby part of the business, um, 527 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: because you you, I had a good relationship with him, 528 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,719 Speaker 1: He had a good relationship with me, Um, and like 529 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: we're not together and like we're different teams now, so UM, 530 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's a tough part of the business. 531 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, he he he and I both 532 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: thought that it was gonna kind of work out better 533 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: for me and and I was grateful for the opportunity. 534 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: Now do you blame that that that trade on you guys? 535 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: Changing from a three four to the four three defense. Yeah, Um, 536 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: I know like the scheme. I fit better in a 537 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: three four UM than a four three And I wasn't 538 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: really the prototypical like four three D and that they 539 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: that they were looking for in Indy, So UM, I 540 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: think that was part of it. UM, And I had 541 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: some injury issues during during my time in Indianapolis, so 542 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: I think that played a role as well. So UM, 543 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: I understood the move for sure. Uh. And I'm I 544 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: was definitely happy that that they moved me to a 545 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: team that that was three or four defense. Can you 546 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: talk about the difference between playing defensive end and a 547 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: three four versus the four three? Yeah, So like three 548 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: or four d n UM, you're usually close to around 549 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 1: three for like two ninety pounds, and you're you're taking 550 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: on double teams from UM the tackle tight end and 551 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: sometimes you're bumped down inside on the guard taking on 552 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 1: double teams from the garden tackles. So you're a little 553 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 1: bit bigger and you're kind of eating up blocks UM, 554 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: and it's kind of three fours are typically designed to 555 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: to where the linebackers are are making a lot of tackles. UM. 556 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: Four three ends are a lot quicker just kind of 557 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: shooting off the ball, getting up the field. UM. And 558 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: it's just a different scheme. So so after getting double 559 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: teamed all the time, how do you find time to 560 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: continue to make plays in the second in the backfield? 561 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 1: It seems like you're always in the backfom Well, I 562 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: mean he the coaching staff has kind of put it 563 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: on me that they the role that they've kind of 564 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: carved out for me has been, uh going in there 565 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: on third down and getting after the passer UM. And 566 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: it's kind of a new role for me. In India 567 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: was kind of an every down h d N UM, 568 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: but coming here and and you know, being more of 569 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: a pass rushing d N. It's been new to me. 570 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 1: But I've tried to do the best I can at it, UM, 571 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: and it's it's kind of giving me a little more 572 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,479 Speaker 1: freedom to where I when I'm in there, I can 573 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: just kind of fire off the ball, UM, get up 574 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: field and try to recab it in the backfield. So UM, 575 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: I've enjoyed like the role and and and whatever what 576 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: it entails, UM and definitely looking forward to UM continue 577 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: with these guys up front. Inside. The Jettic is presented 578 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: by e Y building a better working world. Eric Allen 579 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: here with Eric Coleman and our guests. Segment is Jets 580 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: defensive lineman Henry Anderson. Well, you had the luxury what 581 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: what I would say a lot of people would say 582 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: is a luxury of Okay, I'm losing weight in Indianapolis 583 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: to become a four three defensive van. Now I got 584 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: to go to New York and be a three four 585 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: the lineman on the interior again. So I have to 586 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: gain a lot of weight in a hurry. How do 587 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: you go about that? Yeah, it was It was pretty hard, 588 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: um because I was like to last year and Indie 589 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: playing playing d N there, and then since they switched defenses, 590 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: I dropped down to a little little below to seventy 591 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: UM during the off season, and then obviously once I 592 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: got the call on draft or on h Yeah, once 593 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: once I got the call on draft Day that I 594 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: was getting traded, I was like, yeah, I'm going back 595 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: to a three four team, so I probably gonna have 596 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: to add add all that weight back. So the past 597 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: few months of losing weight has been pretty much for nothing. 598 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: So I was pretty much from that moment like the 599 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: night I flew in, I actually came here and had 600 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: a couple of burgers, wings, some fries, so I was 601 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: I was trying to put the weight back on pretty quick. 602 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, it was. I mean, I definitely uh loosened 603 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: up my diet a little bit once I knew I'd 604 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: be getting the weight back. Still try to eat pretty healthy, 605 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: kind of had more a few more cheap meals than 606 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: I was having when during my uh weight lost phase. 607 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: But wasn't it hard though? Yeah? It was. I mean 608 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: just because you're like especially during because I came here 609 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: in the middle of the off season program when we're 610 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: having pretty hard workouts and runs, and um, I was 611 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: just constantly like I don't know, pop people think, oh, 612 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: you get to gain all this weight, like you must 613 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: be you must be loving life, You're just getting to 614 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: eat whatever you want. But it was like, nah, like 615 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: you're just it's like a job, just constantly having to 616 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: find time to eat and get a snack in here, 617 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: like not even hungry, you just have to keep eating. 618 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: So it was, uh, yeah, I'm kind of glad that 619 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: that whole process is over. Um kind of at a 620 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: steady right now. So I'm glad that that's all over with. 621 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: Why isn't working out so much for the Jets. Like 622 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: I said, Uh, you have been paying dividends for this 623 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: team since they get and you've really flourished in this 624 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: position as a guy coming in those subsituations getting pressure 625 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: on the quarterback. Yeah, it's uh, like I was saying, 626 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: it's it's a lot different than my role in indeed, 627 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: but um, it's nice having like the rotation that we 628 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: have where um, you know, we're constantly bringing in fresh 629 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: guys on the d line. Um, and India, i'd be 630 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: out there on third down kind of already kind of 631 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: already guessed from like first and second down. So the 632 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: third down comes and you're a little bit more tired. Um, 633 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: you don't feel like as quick as you want to be, 634 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: especially um when you're trying to work quick pass rush 635 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: moves against the offensive linement. So I mean in this 636 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: in with the rotation we have where um, you know, 637 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: I'll usually be on the sideline first and second down, 638 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: I can come in on third down fresh ready to go. Uh, 639 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: and I just kind of feel like I can move 640 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: at a different speed than the dude on't lined up 641 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: across from. So um it's been you know, it's been different. 642 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: But the rotation we have is definitely has has helped 643 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: a lot. Now not with as many defensive lineman as 644 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: you have, and with that rotation, I know, I'm sure 645 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: it gets very competitive. Do you guys have like a 646 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: sack pot? You know, all the teams I played on 647 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: us to put together some money for the first defensive 648 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: lineman to get a sack. Do you guys do anything 649 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,239 Speaker 1: special like that during I wish, Nah, I wish, But 650 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: me and Leo kind of have like we were He's 651 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: got three, I got two and a half. So we're 652 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: kind of pushing each other and and you know, trying 653 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: to get those numbers up. But now we don't have 654 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: any uh no sack pot or anything like. How have 655 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: you changed your pass rushing style since entering the National 656 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: Football League? The book on you has always been this 657 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: guy has a tremendous motor, and from watching you here 658 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: early in the season, that is a accurate. Yeah, it's uh. 659 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: I was actually my rookie year, I was a terrible 660 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: pass rush. Yeah. I was really bad. Um college. I 661 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: mean my senior year in college, h I had eight 662 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: and a half sacks, So I mean I had I 663 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: had a lot of success in college rushing the pastor UM. 664 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: But in the league, like offensive lineman or just they 665 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: do a lot of like crafty you know, crafty vets 666 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: stuff that you don't really see at the college level. Um, 667 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: they're punches different, their sets are different. So it took me, 668 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: I mean, and I'm still getting used to it. I've 669 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: got a long ways to go as a pass rusher. 670 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: But UM, I got a little more comfortable out there 671 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: recognizing UM and kind of learning and understanding past sets 672 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: by the by the offensive lineman and UM just continuing 673 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 1: to work hands, hands and feet and you know, working 674 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: edges on the on the offensive line. I think that's 675 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: a great point and I'd like you to elaborate on 676 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 1: that a little bit. When you mean, when you talk 677 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: past sets, what does that mean for folks out there 678 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: listening as far as what are your keith? Yeah, I mean, 679 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: so third down, I mean most of the time, if 680 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: it's third and three plus, third and four plus, I'm 681 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: thinking past like they're not they're probably not gonna run 682 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: the ball if it's if it's third and three plus, UM, 683 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: So I'm once I'm out there, I'm just thinking get 684 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,399 Speaker 1: off the ball. Um. But the thing is, like I mean, 685 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 1: some offensive lineman will the snap of the ball, they'll 686 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 1: jump right out at you, punch you right in the chest. 687 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: And then some offensive lineman will, um kind of we 688 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: call it soft set anywhere they'll they'll just kick back 689 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: and almost like kick back into the quarterback, and they 690 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: won't give you any hand like like they won't shoot 691 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: their hands at you. They'll just kinda they want you 692 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: to just run straight into them so they can hug 693 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: you up and and just kind of let you sit 694 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: in the middle of them. So, um, different guys and 695 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: like within all that, there's they punched with different hands. 696 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: Sometimes they'll punch the inside hand and um, you know, 697 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: kind of wait with the outside hand until you work 698 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: your move and then try to grab you. So there's 699 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: just a bunch of different little nuances, um that you 700 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: try to pick up as you watch film and stuff 701 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,240 Speaker 1: like that. But um, the more reps that I've gotten, 702 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: the more like the more comfortable I've I've been pass Russian. 703 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: So it's still work in progress though. So so with 704 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: all the rules, you know, there's a lot of controversy 705 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks in the NFL with defensive 706 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: lineman hitting quarterbacks. How has that changed the way you 707 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: approached hitting the quarterback and do you feel like you've 708 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,359 Speaker 1: made the adjustment. Yeah, I mean it's such a it's 709 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: it's it's such a hard rule just because like in 710 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: certain cases, you can definitely, you can definitely pull off 711 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 1: and kind of roll to the side. But then I 712 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 1: mean certain situations you're running head on and like some 713 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league aren't easy, like if you're trying 714 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: to if you're trying to sack Ben Roethlisburger, like Cam Newton, 715 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: like you don't have the luxury of just like rolling 716 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: off to the side, and because they're just as big 717 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 1: as you. Yeah, like these guys are gonna break the 718 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,359 Speaker 1: tackle if I try to roll off to the side. So, 719 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's hard. Um, I know a lot 720 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: of it's there's been a lot of questionable calls the 721 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,839 Speaker 1: first few leeks of the season. Um, honestly, I haven't 722 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: really changed anything the size that I've gotten. I've actually 723 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,479 Speaker 1: I kind of hit Tyrod pretty hard in the Cleveland game, 724 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 1: but I guess I didn't land on top of him 725 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: because they didn't throw the flag. But um, yeah, I'm coming. 726 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,399 Speaker 1: I usually rush on the right side so I'm coming 727 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: from the quarterback's blind side, and usually if I do 728 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: sack them, I'm kind of falling. It's I'm not falling 729 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: like straight on top of them anyway, So I haven't 730 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 1: had to adjust anything too much, um thus far. But 731 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: uh yeah, I'm just hoping I don't get I don't 732 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 1: get called for that, because that's a pretty big fun 733 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: these days.

You 752 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 1: know what, we didn't get a chance to talk to 753 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: Anderson about his nickname. Everyone around the building calls him Goose, 754 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:59,359 Speaker 1: but nobody has figured out the nickname, so we didn't 755 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,720 Speaker 1: get We have to have him back on for another segment. 756 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 1: And then Andre Roberts interesting background, moving all over the place, 757 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 1: growing up in a military family. Uh, and he came 758 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,399 Speaker 1: here in the off season under the radar signing, and 759 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,400 Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people knew what he 760 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,800 Speaker 1: could bring to the table. He's been an explosive return 761 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 1: man for this team. Yeah, I mean and happening. An 762 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: explosive return man is something that's taken for granted. He's 763 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: a guy that can help this offense with field position, 764 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 1: changing the size of the field and really be a weapon. 765 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 1: You know, he's a good leader on special teams. Comes 766 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 1: from Atlanta with with a special teams coach Keith Armstrong. 767 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 1: I played for one of the best in the league, 768 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,840 Speaker 1: so you know he's gonna be have great discipline and really, 769 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 1: you know, has had a great year thus far, and 770 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,760 Speaker 1: Anderson has fit in very well on that defensive front 771 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 1: because you're asking him to come in and not play 772 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: three knobs. He's the guy's coming in and being that 773 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: situational pass rusher, and he's thriving doing that. Not only 774 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 1: is he getting to the quarterback and getting some heads, 775 00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 1: and he's got the two and a half sacks, which 776 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: is a career high. He's also very long, so that 777 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: provides a lot of issues for those inside offensive linements, 778 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,320 Speaker 1: the guards who got to take care of him because 779 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 1: he's got that long reach and he could get his 780 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 1: hands up against opposing quarterbacks. Yeah, you know, and he's 781 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,840 Speaker 1: a player that that's just getting started, you know with 782 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 1: his production. You mentioned a career high two and a 783 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 1: half sacks, But the sky's a limit for this guy. 784 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 1: You know, he's come in, He's been a great asset. 785 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,840 Speaker 1: He mentioned using his hands so well. He does a 786 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,800 Speaker 1: great job of He's starting to understand how offensive linemen 787 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 1: are starting to attack him, use it against them. And 788 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: it's really become a great competition between he and Leonard Williams. 789 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 1: You know that they're getting after the quarterback, getting pressure 790 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 1: on the quarterback, which makes things easier for guys like 791 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,359 Speaker 1: myself who are in the secondary. No, you're always thinking 792 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 1: about yourself, Eric, Yeah, uh, what do you think about 793 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 1: this matchup? This week? The Jets go to Chicago after 794 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,839 Speaker 1: the three game homestand back on the road again, and 795 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: then they'll start a FC East play in earnest because 796 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: their next three games after the Bears FC East divisional foes, 797 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,840 Speaker 1: including a return matchup with the Dolphins. But first things first, 798 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 1: this is going to be a desperate Bearers team because 799 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,799 Speaker 1: they are three and three, they easily could be four 800 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,279 Speaker 1: and two, five and one, maybe even six and all. Yeah, 801 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 1: you know this is this is a tough Bears team. 802 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 1: You know, not many people had them mentioned at the 803 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 1: top of the NFC North. That's a tough division this 804 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 1: year with Detroit, Chicago, Green Bay and Minnesota, who the 805 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 1: Jets just faced a tough division. But the Bears have 806 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: a lot of talent. Uh. They got an instant upgrade 807 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 1: getting Khalil Mack one of the defensive the best defensive 808 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,839 Speaker 1: players in the NFL. Mr Bisky is doing a great 809 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 1: job offensively throwing the ball around. A couple of weeks 810 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: ago had six touchdown passes. So he's a guy who 811 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 1: can catch fire and really be an issue at quarterback. 812 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: Mac has been hobbled with the ankle. He's still been 813 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: playing through it. But how do you go about blocking him? 814 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 1: And you can't go I gotta imagine you're not going 815 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: one on one on one again. You're gonna need help 816 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,800 Speaker 1: from the backs. You're gonna need help from the titles. Absolutely, 817 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 1: you have to block him for by committee, you know. 818 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,239 Speaker 1: And he's not one of these pass rushers that you 819 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 1: can say, you know what, he's a great pass rusher, 820 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 1: let's run at him because he's great at stopping the 821 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 1: run as well. You know, does a good job of 822 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: pursuing from the backside, force him from the front side, 823 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,759 Speaker 1: and obviously one of the better pass rushers. You're gonna 824 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 1: need Tomlinson, You're gonna need Blo power, you donna need 825 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 1: several players to understand where he is every single play 826 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 1: and get away from as soon as possible. Conversely, you 827 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: mention a Rabinsky. I think he is a quarterback who's 828 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 1: still finding himself. In his second season, he had the 829 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 1: big day against the Buccaneers with the six touchdown passes. 830 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 1: Against New England, what you saw from him was a 831 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:42,160 Speaker 1: propensity maybe to escape that pocket and use his feet, 832 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,839 Speaker 1: and he'll do that at times. Where do you think 833 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,720 Speaker 1: he is at here early in his career. Well, you know, listen, 834 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 1: this guy has a ton of talent. You're right with 835 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 1: the with the apprehension to throw the ball down the 836 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,919 Speaker 1: field against great secondaries, second leading rusher on the team. 837 00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,879 Speaker 1: So it shows you how much he's been on the run. 838 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 1: But he is a play or that has all the 839 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,880 Speaker 1: armed talent, doesn't have many reps though. You know, he 840 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,759 Speaker 1: didn't play much at North Carolina, came in last year, 841 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 1: played some good football, but but not really where he 842 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,400 Speaker 1: wanted to be. He's a guy, like you said, is 843 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: finding himself, finding his game and really uh progressing as 844 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,479 Speaker 1: a quarterback each week. Well, that offense they run, though 845 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: you're seeing it from the Andy Reid tree, what do 846 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 1: the Jets have to prepare for in terms of the 847 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 1: offensive scheme for that scheme? You know, uh, Andy read 848 00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,360 Speaker 1: that that tree. They like to use a lot of 849 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,719 Speaker 1: crossing routes, a lot of cross country routes, which is 850 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: over the top of the linebackers. Uh. You know, you 851 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 1: see it with Tarik Hill making those big plays running 852 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: away from the secondary. They do a great job attacking 853 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 1: the ball vertically. Uh. And obviously the run game in 854 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 1: the screen game is a is an important piece of 855 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,839 Speaker 1: what they do offense. Now, obviously the Bears don't have 856 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,359 Speaker 1: a Hill on the roster, but they got guys they 857 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 1: Teller Gabriel Allen Robinson is a big play guy to 858 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 1: make plays down the field to Reek call. And of 859 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,240 Speaker 1: course and and and they'll try to run the football 860 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,719 Speaker 1: as well on the other side of the ball. How 861 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 1: do the Jets get that balance they want against the 862 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 1: Bearers defense, Well, you know it's gonna be tough. You 863 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 1: know that they're gonna have to find a way to 864 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,799 Speaker 1: establish that run. And it's tough when you have guys 865 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,439 Speaker 1: like Trevith on defense, you have guys like Khalil Mack 866 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,480 Speaker 1: on defense. Uh, excellent players on the front seven. But again, 867 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: the Jets have done it against better defenses. They did 868 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 1: it against the Broncos, They've had success against other teams. 869 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:32,360 Speaker 1: So establishing that run, Trent Can is gonna have to 870 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,800 Speaker 1: have another big game. If Bala Palace still injured, you 871 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,759 Speaker 1: know they're gonna need some guys to step up. You 872 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 1: can't have as many drop passes as they have last week. 873 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,400 Speaker 1: They need to help out their quarterback as much as possible. 874 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 1: Two similar teams, I think, and we'll have to see 875 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 1: what happens next week.
