Speaker 1: Vive from vetter Bill Sports and Spirits inside the Windham
Speaker 1: Hamilton's Park Hotel. It's Inside the Jets, brought to you
Speaker 1: by e Y Building a Better Working World and by
Speaker 1: M and T Bank, the official community bank of your
Speaker 1: New York Jets. No, here's Eric Allen and Eric Coleman.
Speaker 1: Welcome Inside the Jets were broadcasting live from Vanderbilt Sports
Speaker 1: and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel, Eric Allen
Speaker 1: and Eric Coleman. Here. We will be joined tonight by
Speaker 1: both Andre Roberts and Henry Anderson. But as we kick
Speaker 1: off here on our opening segment, E Coleman or Postmortem.
Speaker 1: The Jets went into a ballgame against the Minnesota Vikings
Speaker 1: with an opportunity to sweep a three game homestand and
Speaker 1: moved to four and three. Unfortunately, they couldn't get it
Speaker 1: done against a very good football team. The Vikings take
Speaker 1: home a thirty seven to seventeen triumph. For me, the
Speaker 1: Jets did a lot of good things yesterday even though
Speaker 1: they lost by twenty points. But the bottom line is
Speaker 1: this team has been living off a takeaways. Defensively, had
Speaker 1: entered that ball game with fifteen takeaways on the year
Speaker 1: that was second in the National Football League Day zero
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. The Vikings conversely had four. The Jets
Speaker 1: did some good things defensively, got off the field on
Speaker 1: third down, and handled that Vikings run game in the
Speaker 1: first half. What we saw in the second half, though,
Speaker 1: was the Vikings got a couple of big plays from
Speaker 1: Lottavius Murray and the Jets just couldn't overcome their own
Speaker 1: miscuse too many self inflicted wounds to beat a very
Speaker 1: good football team in the Minnesota Vikings. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I thought the Jets came off
Speaker 1: and started off well, you know, playing against the Vikings,
Speaker 1: a team who a lot of people before the season
Speaker 1: had up for, you know, super Bowl contenders, and they're
Speaker 1: starting to play that way now. You know, obviously a
Speaker 1: lot of talent on that Vikings team. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, the Jets did have a couple of self
Speaker 1: inflicted wounds that kept him from winning that game. You know,
Speaker 1: the score was there's a big margin, but the game,
Speaker 1: you know, there were a couple of plays that if
Speaker 1: they would have went the Jets way the game, the
Speaker 1: whole game would have been different. So, you know, I
Speaker 1: thought that a lot of players stepped up and played
Speaker 1: some good ball yesterday. But there were a lot of
Speaker 1: miscuse you know. There were some drop passes, there were
Speaker 1: some uh, you know, the two runs by Latavia's Murray,
Speaker 1: a couple of misfits by the by the defense. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, those are things that can't happen, you know.
Speaker 1: And and obviously the turnover battle. When you lose the
Speaker 1: turnover batt or four to nothing, it's gonna be tough
Speaker 1: to get anybody in the National Football League. You could
Speaker 1: be playing the Bills, you could be playing the Colts.
Speaker 1: If you lose the turnover battle four to zero, you're
Speaker 1: most likely not gonna win. This just happened to be
Speaker 1: a very good football team. The Jets in the locker
Speaker 1: room after the game, they were not lamning entries. But
Speaker 1: the bottom line here is the Jets were banked up
Speaker 1: squad going into that game. And you have a rookie
Speaker 1: quarterback who is going to be a very good player
Speaker 1: in this league. But when you ask him to put
Speaker 1: the ball up forty two times, it's gonna be tough
Speaker 1: to win. And oh, by the way, his top weapon,
Speaker 1: Quincy and Noona is out. Terrell Prior was released from
Speaker 1: the team on Saturday, he has a groin injury, so
Speaker 1: that puts people in different spots. And then offensively as well,
Speaker 1: you're talking about bel Paul. He is one of the
Speaker 1: team's top offensive weapons. He goes down with the neck injury.
Speaker 1: On the defensive side of the ball, that secondary tremendously
Speaker 1: banged up. Tremaine Johnson still dealing with that quad issue.
Speaker 1: You got Buster Screen with the concussion. He's been out,
Speaker 1: and then Marcus. You lined up without Marcus May at
Speaker 1: safety and Doug Middleton went down yesterday. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: the injuries are our reality in the NFL. You know,
Speaker 1: it's a long season, sixteen game season. By the end
Speaker 1: of the year, everybody's playing through some sort of injury
Speaker 1: and teams have to adjust to it. You know, you
Speaker 1: saw offensively, it was it's kind of that next man
Speaker 1: up mentality where you have uh, you know, the receiver
Speaker 1: stepping up. You have big playmakers coming up. Cannon had
Speaker 1: a couple of big plays at the running back position yesterday. Defensively,
Speaker 1: in the secondary, that's the group I've been most impressed with.
Speaker 1: You know, they lose three starters in the secondary and
Speaker 1: don't really miss a beat, you know, they gave up
Speaker 1: a couple of big plays, but you look at Darrel
Speaker 1: Roberts his place, stepping up and making some big plays.
Speaker 1: You know that group is the next man up mentality. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, they believe in you were only as good
Speaker 1: as our weakest link. And they that group really prepares
Speaker 1: themselves to play well. You know. I think the adversity
Speaker 1: is something that this team is gonna have to go through,
Speaker 1: as every team will, and it makes it especially difficult
Speaker 1: for a team with the rookie quarterback missing some key components.
Speaker 1: It makes it tough for him to succeed without many
Speaker 1: of their weapons. A credit to Vikings the defense of
Speaker 1: the game plan, because they took away the jets bread
Speaker 1: and butter. This team is all about having balance offensively,
Speaker 1: getting it going with the run game, and what we
Speaker 1: saw Sunday too off and the Jets weren't third and long,
Speaker 1: third and seven, and Minnesota entered that ball game number
Speaker 1: one in the National Football League in terms of third
Speaker 1: down efficiency. What they were able to do is play
Speaker 1: too high safety, so they did not commit an extra
Speaker 1: guy to the box. They took care of the run game,
Speaker 1: and then they were able to take care of the
Speaker 1: receivers down in the field. What did you think of
Speaker 1: Donald's performance? Again, he's another one who said, Okay, listen,
Speaker 1: I gotta play better. It doesn't matter who's playing with
Speaker 1: me or around me. The chemistry is fine. And that
Speaker 1: was the first time you probably played in conditions like that.
Speaker 1: I was down on the field pregame with Anti Anthony
Speaker 1: Beck our pregame Central Show, which is broadcasting all Jets
Speaker 1: platforms at eleven am, uh four home games proborly to
Speaker 1: one o'clock game, And it was cold and the wing
Speaker 1: gusts were probably around twenty miles par Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, it's cold for everybody out there. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you have to make adjustments. But Minnesota has lived for
Speaker 1: several years off of playing that cover to defense, having
Speaker 1: a strong front for a front seven, and having those
Speaker 1: owners attacking the run game. So you know, I think
Speaker 1: they were They did do a great job of making
Speaker 1: the Jets play left hand and taken away what they do,
Speaker 1: which is the run game, and compliment that with the
Speaker 1: play action game. When you can't run, the ball is
Speaker 1: tough to run. The play action game's tough to uh,
Speaker 1: you know, keep teams off balance offensively, so Minnesota taking
Speaker 1: away that run, put the ball in Sam Donald's hands,
Speaker 1: made him throw the ball forty two times, which this
Speaker 1: team is not built for. There There rarely are there
Speaker 1: teams that can have success with their quarterbacks. The last
Speaker 1: couple of times, the last couple of games, he's been
Speaker 1: throwing the ball fifty, you know, fifty five times a
Speaker 1: game and they have not been winning. You know, only
Speaker 1: Drew Brees can do that. Tom Brady can do it
Speaker 1: on occasion. You know, you're you're not built to throw
Speaker 1: the ball around the park, especially with his many injuries
Speaker 1: to the receivers. All right, So offensively, I continue to
Speaker 1: like what I've seen out of Chris Herndon, a fourth
Speaker 1: round pick out of Miami, and Sam Donald's getting more
Speaker 1: and more confident with him each week. We saw him
Speaker 1: with a touchdown reception against Indianapolis Colts, he had a
Speaker 1: touch reception against the Vikings. He had one called back.
Speaker 1: But that connection could be one that flourishes for years
Speaker 1: to come. Yeah, you know, I was excited to see
Speaker 1: that connection. You know, Chris hern and a guy who
Speaker 1: who came in and when Scott saw him, he didn't
Speaker 1: get to run a forty so not a lot of
Speaker 1: people had a forty time for They didn't realize the
Speaker 1: speed that this guy has. You know, a great route runner.
Speaker 1: You know, he's getting better at blocking. You know, he
Speaker 1: has some tough guys to block against in practice, so
Speaker 1: he's getting better continuously with that and he and he
Speaker 1: and Sam Donald are starting to get a nice rapport.
Speaker 1: So you'd like to see the Jets starting to use
Speaker 1: that tight end position, a position that's been abandoned for
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. Hopefully, blow Paul is okay
Speaker 1: because he is such an integral part of this football team.
Speaker 1: But Trent and Cannon got his feet wet and that
Speaker 1: was good to see as well, because he has speed
Speaker 1: to burn. You put him out and they had a
Speaker 1: beautiful explosion completion in terms of the wheel route in
Speaker 1: the first half there. So, uh, Cannon getting very valuable
Speaker 1: reps as well. Yeah, you know, Cannon is a guy
Speaker 1: who made some great plays during the preseason. A young
Speaker 1: player or dynamic speed can make guys miss, you know.
Speaker 1: I always say for the running backs that the toughest
Speaker 1: part is learning how to pass block, you know, because
Speaker 1: you can't play if you can't you know, adjust to
Speaker 1: the blitz. Uh, you know, pass and you're probably not
Speaker 1: plass blocking a lot of Virginia states. Yeah, they're getting
Speaker 1: you the ball. And he's a playmaker. You know, he's
Speaker 1: a guy who can develop into a great playmaker, similar
Speaker 1: to a Bala Pal one of those guys when he
Speaker 1: kept when he gets the ball to the backfield, he
Speaker 1: has an opportunity to hit his head on the field
Speaker 1: goal post whenever he gets the ball, all right. You know,
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, the Jets had opportunities. As a ball game.
Speaker 1: It was ten of seven at halftime, seventeen of seven
Speaker 1: early in the third quarter. When Donald makes one of
Speaker 1: his mistakes. They're one of his glaring mistakes where he
Speaker 1: throws the Robby Anderson and he admitted after the game
Speaker 1: that just a bad reed because Robbie was covered there
Speaker 1: and the safety Harrison Smith was all all over the top. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, those plays are gonna happen. You know,
Speaker 1: you're gonna make mistakes, and that's the that's what you
Speaker 1: get when you come in with the rookie quarterback. You know,
Speaker 1: a lot of times when the rookies get to sit
Speaker 1: back and watch, they can learn from others mistakes. But
Speaker 1: playing against his Minnesota Vikings defense. They have one of
Speaker 1: the top secondaries in the league. Harrison Smith is all pro.
Speaker 1: You know, Trey Waynes is a phenomenal player. Xavier Rhodes
Speaker 1: is a pro bowler. You know, this is the This
Speaker 1: is not your average secondary that he was playing against.
Speaker 1: He made things tough on the receivers and they're gonna
Speaker 1: do that to teams throughout the rest of the year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you can even look later in the game.
Speaker 1: It's twenty to seven and Andre Roberts, who is going
Speaker 1: to join us on the show as a tremendous kickoff
Speaker 1: return to get the Jets in the plus territory. And
Speaker 1: no fault on the rookie here, Sam Donald. He throws
Speaker 1: a couple nice check downs one did Isaiah Croal and
Speaker 1: also he moves his legs to get out of the
Speaker 1: pocket and he finds Eric Thomlinson and those guys just
Speaker 1: gotta make those catches. Yeah, you know, you have to
Speaker 1: come through, especially when you're struggling offensively. You need some
Speaker 1: players to come through, make those routine catches and move
Speaker 1: the chains, get that momentum going, because when you're having
Speaker 1: a tough game offensively, all it takes sometimes is one
Speaker 1: or two big plays to get your momentum, to get
Speaker 1: everyone's confidence going, and next thing you know, you're back
Speaker 1: in that game. And then another opportunity. It's twenty seven seventeen.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people left Mountlife Stadium at
Speaker 1: that point after the Vikings had taken that seventeen point lead.
Speaker 1: But Donald comes back and it's a ten point game
Speaker 1: with ten minutes remaining, and the Jets had the ball
Speaker 1: out close to midfield and Donald's looking for Andre Roberts.
Speaker 1: I thought the traffic at his feet affected him, impacted
Speaker 1: him where he couldn't step into the throw, and unfortunately
Speaker 1: that ball was picked and eventually the Vikings put it away. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you get those those balls where you're
Speaker 1: throwing the dig routes and the ball sales on you.
Speaker 1: Minnesota does a great job of playing that zone coverage
Speaker 1: where you have defenders underneath, guys coming over the top,
Speaker 1: where it's a short window, you know, and those mistakes
Speaker 1: are gonna be made. But again, another opportunity that the
Speaker 1: Jets had that they kind of shoot themselves in the foot,
Speaker 1: or if they don't make that mistake, maybe they're in
Speaker 1: the game, you know, there's three or four plays in
Speaker 1: this game that Jets were that the Jets didn't or
Speaker 1: if they did make, they'd be right in there. And
Speaker 1: that's exactly the point. People wake up Monday morning. They
Speaker 1: don't watch the game and say the Jets, we're not
Speaker 1: in that ball game. They lose by twenty points. If
Speaker 1: you watch the game and you bring it back, the
Speaker 1: three or four plays could be a different outcome. But
Speaker 1: that is life in the National Football League, and the
Speaker 1: Jets bottom line is stepped up in class yesterday. Beating
Speaker 1: the Colts is one thing. Beating the Broncos on a
Speaker 1: short week is one thing. But the Vikings they're on
Speaker 1: another level. Yeah, you know, you know, like I said
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the show, they're a team that's
Speaker 1: gonna be up to win the NFC North. You know,
Speaker 1: they're they're they're up there with the Green Bay Packers
Speaker 1: of the of the NFC. I think they have a
Speaker 1: phenomenal talent. You know, they went with the wind now mentality,
Speaker 1: getting Kirk Cousins, you know, quarterback who who's a gun slinger.
Speaker 1: He has some great weapons out there. And Stefind Diggs
Speaker 1: and Adam Feeling, who's about who has been setting records,
Speaker 1: you know since he started playing. You know, he phenomenal talent.
Speaker 1: Latavia's Murray stepped up big time yesterday and you know
Speaker 1: they were missing down Cook. But Latavius has been a
Speaker 1: phenomenal player his whole career, even when he was back
Speaker 1: in Oakland. All right. Inside the Jets is supported by
Speaker 1: Selective Insurance Responses Everything. Eric Allen and Eric Coleman here
Speaker 1: at Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel.
Speaker 1: We will come right back with Andre Roberts and motion
Speaker 1: goes Robby Anderson. Quarterback Street Jarna puts us the pile
Speaker 1: and as he is now signal get from the official
Speaker 1: but cat stick it to touchdown and it is so.
Speaker 1: Sam Donald scores the quarterback steak touchdown. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: Inside the Jets were broadcasting live from Vanderbilt Sports and
Speaker 1: Spirits inside the wind Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel. Inside the
Speaker 1: Jets is presented by e Y Building a Better Working World.
Speaker 1: Eric Eric Ellen and Eric Coleman here alongside Andre Roberts,
Speaker 1: Art player Guest segment is presented by M ANDT Bank,
Speaker 1: the official community bank of your New York Jets so
Speaker 1: we're just talking about Andre before you joined us. How
Speaker 1: tough were those conditions at My Life Stadium. It reminded
Speaker 1: me of the old Metal Lands. Yeah, it was pretty crazy. Um,
Speaker 1: the worst I've ever played in. UM. Last year when
Speaker 1: we played here in Atlanta was kind of like a
Speaker 1: tropical storm. Yeah, and it was. It was kind of windy,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't anything like what I experienced last game. Now, Andre,
Speaker 1: in a day and age where it seems like they're
Speaker 1: trying to get rid of the kickoff and make special
Speaker 1: teams almost obsolete, how have you continue to thrive and
Speaker 1: be so successful in your career. It's interesting they're trying
Speaker 1: to take out that that return specialist thing. Um, But
Speaker 1: you know, when you have guys back there that could
Speaker 1: be explosive, that can be dynamic, especially guys that can
Speaker 1: do both kickoff and palm return, I think it could
Speaker 1: be pretty special. So you after the game, Andre described
Speaker 1: your day as up and down. There were a couple
Speaker 1: of field goals I mean fumbles. Uh, Fortunately you guys
Speaker 1: didn't give up points after those were able to recall
Speaker 1: over those. And then you had a fifty three yard
Speaker 1: kickoff return that led to a field goal. And a
Speaker 1: forty two yard return that led to a touchdown in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Yeah, um, almost two yards. And the
Speaker 1: kickoff return game, which you really like it was a
Speaker 1: huge UM. But in the punt return game, but not
Speaker 1: much going on the muff punt. Unfortunately we got that back.
Speaker 1: But you know, that's the kind of up and down
Speaker 1: I was thinking about, UM, but special teams in general. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we had kind of a messed up snap there. Um,
Speaker 1: some of our punts were kind of but it was
Speaker 1: a windy game, and uh, we kind of take it
Speaker 1: with a grain assault and understand what the elements were
Speaker 1: what we had to deal with. But we also understand that,
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna have some windy games coming up soon.
Speaker 1: All the games uh so far, I mean going out
Speaker 1: to the end of the season are all outside. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna have some win and we got
Speaker 1: to deal with it right way. Do you put that
Speaker 1: on yourself to provide this team a spark because they're
Speaker 1: in the second half. You almost single handedly put this
Speaker 1: team right back in the ball given you have that
Speaker 1: fifty three yard to return most definitely UM kick return
Speaker 1: or a punt return. UM. I feel like when I
Speaker 1: do get a good opportunity, have a chance to either
Speaker 1: take it to the house or I have a big return.
Speaker 1: So I think my teammates that expect that out of me,
Speaker 1: especially now, and I try to provide that every time
Speaker 1: I took the ball. Now. Now, coming into playing the Vikings,
Speaker 1: they're typically known for their their very good special teams units.
Speaker 1: Do you guys take that as a challenge upon yourself?
Speaker 1: Is you know this week we're playing the Vikings, we
Speaker 1: have to win their special teams battle if we're gonna
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to win this game. You take it
Speaker 1: as a challenge every week. Um, you don't take any
Speaker 1: team lightly, regardless of what they did last week or
Speaker 1: what they did last year or you know who they have, so, um,
Speaker 1: we don't take any team lightly. We take everybody like
Speaker 1: they're the best special teams. We gotta beat them all.
Speaker 1: But how difficult was it whether you're feeling a punt
Speaker 1: yesterday or or a kickoff when that wind is swirling
Speaker 1: like it was, because you can't get a beat on
Speaker 1: the ball some times because it can be in midflight
Speaker 1: and either hang off or slightly changed directions on you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did that a couple of times. Um, it's one
Speaker 1: of those things where we kind of do practice in
Speaker 1: the wind from time to time. We practice outside. Obviously
Speaker 1: last week if you're outside at all, it was windy
Speaker 1: all week, so we got a little bit of work
Speaker 1: with that. But um, like I said before, I put
Speaker 1: that on myself, I have to practice that, get better
Speaker 1: with that, and um, sometimes it's a little inconsistent with
Speaker 1: the wind. You never know what, especially when disgusting like
Speaker 1: it was on Sunday. But I gotta catch them all. Now,
Speaker 1: now can we talk. We're gonna talk injuries now, Quincy
Speaker 1: and done walked down. You know you lose, you lose
Speaker 1: prior you gets released after an injury. A lot of
Speaker 1: opportunities in the receiving room. How do you take advantage of,
Speaker 1: you know, both being the head guy on special teams
Speaker 1: and preparing yourself offensively to come in and play at
Speaker 1: that receiver positions. Well, I've been preparing every week, um,
Speaker 1: as if I was gonna play and as if I
Speaker 1: was gonna start. So obviously, Um, being behind those guys,
Speaker 1: you don't get the same reps. Just like a backup
Speaker 1: quarterback or a backup par it back, you won't get
Speaker 1: the same amount of reps as those starters. But um,
Speaker 1: I always prepare like a little bit of starter, and
Speaker 1: you know, myself and others have to step up in
Speaker 1: the place of q Andre seventeen and the fourth Donald
Speaker 1: tried to go to you. But what did you see
Speaker 1: as far as from your perspective on the route and
Speaker 1: what was the thought processor? Um, it was just a
Speaker 1: dagger out a fifteen yard in and uh looking at
Speaker 1: the film especially, Uh Sam met a lot of pressure
Speaker 1: in his face, so he expected me to roll out
Speaker 1: of it, Uh sooner than later. And uh we just
Speaker 1: didn't connect. Uh. Those are kind of the nuances that
Speaker 1: you get from practicing, being able to get those reps
Speaker 1: in practice as opposed to just having to watch and
Speaker 1: and get mental reps and you know, run your routes
Speaker 1: after practice not getting those reps. Um, well we practiced
Speaker 1: that and um, you know, and practice it's a little
Speaker 1: bit slower when you don't have a pass rush coming
Speaker 1: after quarterback because you know, in practice, our guys can't
Speaker 1: hit the quarterback. So UM, that's one of those things
Speaker 1: we kind of need to speed up a little bit more,
Speaker 1: um and understand in game time situation, especially in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Uh, you know you're gonna have to be
Speaker 1: a little bit faster in those situations. Is that something
Speaker 1: you take care of on Monday or can you take
Speaker 1: care of that immediately after when you guys go to
Speaker 1: the bench because there's so many things going on. Um,
Speaker 1: that's something you take care of after the game. Yeah, yeah, UM. Okay.
Speaker 1: So Andre, you're a free agent before coming here to
Speaker 1: the Green and White in the spring, what was the
Speaker 1: process like and how did you land here? As a Jet?
Speaker 1: Free agency is always fun you get to come back
Speaker 1: to the table. Um. But there were some teams. Uh,
Speaker 1: obviously I was looking forward to uh meeting and and
Speaker 1: going to and UM at the end of the process,
Speaker 1: Uh that Jets had the best opportunity for me at
Speaker 1: the receiver position and the return position. Obviously, UM, I
Speaker 1: did some good things in Atlanta, Detroit and the return games,
Speaker 1: so they wanted me to come here and be exposed
Speaker 1: for them in that aspect. But when I got here,
Speaker 1: you know, I said, earned my job and they saw
Speaker 1: some good things in me as a returner and the receiver,
Speaker 1: so I stuck. Now that as a special teamer, there's
Speaker 1: obviously a sense of pride and being that guy on
Speaker 1: special teams, in the kickoff game, in the punt game.
Speaker 1: Do you pride yourself on being that person that gets
Speaker 1: double teams every time? You know? Because when when when
Speaker 1: I back, when I played on special teams, it was
Speaker 1: always you know what, you gotta watch up for this guy?
Speaker 1: Do you take pride to being that person? I take
Speaker 1: a lot of pride in that. Um One thing about
Speaker 1: being a returner is different from offense, where everybody knows
Speaker 1: you're gonna get the ball as you as a punt
Speaker 1: returner and kick returner. So it's not like a couple
Speaker 1: of guys or three, three or four guys are coming
Speaker 1: after you. It's it's all ten or eleven guys. If
Speaker 1: you don't, you know, include the kicker, or include the kicker.
Speaker 1: But um uh, that's one thing I do take a
Speaker 1: lot of pride in and and no, I have a
Speaker 1: big responsibility for this team. As a reminder inside the Jets,
Speaker 1: in November five will be a closed military appreciation of that.
Speaker 1: We look forward seeing you the following week on November twelve,
Speaker 1: So November five will be a closed military appreciation event.
Speaker 1: Speaking of the military, how much did that have an
Speaker 1: influence on you? Grown up a big part of my life.
Speaker 1: Both my parents were in the military, retired army and
Speaker 1: uh I went to the cidtles so I have a
Speaker 1: lot of friends that are still in the military. So, um,
Speaker 1: it was a big part of my life. Moved around
Speaker 1: a little bit. I was born in Alaska, lived most
Speaker 1: of my life and uh in South Carolina, moved to
Speaker 1: Texas and around a little bit. But it's a huge
Speaker 1: part of my life. So it is the military still
Speaker 1: in the cards. Say when you hang them up, do
Speaker 1: you still have aspirations to to become a part of
Speaker 1: the military. No, um and nothing like that. Um, when
Speaker 1: I get done playing football and let my body rest
Speaker 1: and hopefully sell some chicken at Zack. Well, okay, so
Speaker 1: what are your parents still active? And can you tell
Speaker 1: us what they both did or currently do? And also
Speaker 1: growing up in a military household, how different was that
Speaker 1: in addition to the moving around. Maybe from what you
Speaker 1: saw of your friends. Uh so yeah, Um, both my
Speaker 1: parents were retired now. My mom retired as a first sergeant,
Speaker 1: my dad retired as a command sergeant major. Um, so
Speaker 1: they're pretty pretty high ranked and growing up. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a little bit stricter in my in my household,
Speaker 1: I'm sure. UM, And you know, moving around a little bit. Fortunately. UM.
Speaker 1: I moved around when I was younger. So I was
Speaker 1: in Alaska for two years, don't really remember it. UM.
Speaker 1: Went to Texas for four years, definitely remember that. UM.
Speaker 1: Going to elementary school. UM, and then moved to South Carolina. Parents,
Speaker 1: went to Korea, moved to St. Coquartery with my grandparents,
Speaker 1: then came back to South Carolina. I finish high school there.
Speaker 1: So I was fortunate enough to finish high school with
Speaker 1: my friends. That's cool. So does that at all prepare
Speaker 1: you for life in the NFL, because if you're if
Speaker 1: you're gonna stay around for long enough in the NFL,
Speaker 1: you're gonna hit some hit a couple of teams. Does
Speaker 1: that help with the with the moving around and changing
Speaker 1: most definitely? UM. I think that's one of the reasons
Speaker 1: why I love to travel now. UM. Obviously, when you're
Speaker 1: in the NFL, you kind of want to stick with
Speaker 1: one team. But it's my fifth team and I'm enjoying
Speaker 1: the moves. So it's been good. So where's butt your
Speaker 1: your most recent destinations in terms of travel in all
Speaker 1: season anyway? Uh? Well right now Australia, Australia, Australia. Um,
Speaker 1: I just had a had a baby, uh five months
Speaker 1: now and uh he was born in Australia. Is a
Speaker 1: little citizen. Yeah, give a right of a plot Jackson
Speaker 1: Jackson cool. So, Um, I've been going going back and
Speaker 1: forth there. Obviously not during the season. They'll be coming
Speaker 1: over here on the thirties actually, but um, this offseason
Speaker 1: I was over there a bunch. So how does that
Speaker 1: change your perspective not having a little one. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is my My whole floor is pretty much at play, matt. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get ready. You know, they're they've been
Speaker 1: over in Australia, so I've kind of been I make
Speaker 1: shift dad, kind of just trying to make them some
Speaker 1: things happen, getting the crib here and there. But I
Speaker 1: haven't had to do too much. When I was over there,
Speaker 1: I had to uh change some diapers. But she's been
Speaker 1: holding down the fort, so I know I have some
Speaker 1: big things come whenever they get hire. But you got
Speaker 1: a good lady, so so you're gonna be one of
Speaker 1: those dads that's gonna maybe prove the entire house right
Speaker 1: most definitely, And then when you have your second kid,
Speaker 1: it's just gonna go by the wayside. You know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to keep it the same. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: just make sure I have all the um plugs locked
Speaker 1: in with with plastic and try to keep everything the same.
Speaker 1: But I'm sure it'll be a little bit easier with
Speaker 1: the second. Well, listen, you've got a lot of great
Speaker 1: things going on in your life on and off the field.
Speaker 1: I think you've been an instant impact for this team
Speaker 1: throughout the first seven games. It's already the season is
Speaker 1: already reaching its midway point. But Andre, we thank you
Speaker 1: so much for stopping by Tonight. We're gonna come right
Speaker 1: back here on Inside the Jets with Henry Anderson, play action,
Speaker 1: Donald Fires running to the inside and as Cock that's
Speaker 1: a Jet touchdown. Chris Herndon, let's from Sam Donal that
Speaker 1: time the kids converting the red zone. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: Inside the Jets. We are broadcasting live from Vanderbilt Sports
Speaker 1: and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton Park Hotel Great Spot
Speaker 1: with Andre Roberts, Eric Allen alongside Eric Coleman. And now
Speaker 1: we have a second player guest segment presented by m
Speaker 1: ANDT Bank, the official community bank of your New York Jets.
Speaker 1: Let's bring in another guy who joined the Jets a
Speaker 1: little bit before Andre Roberts. I think Henry Anderson, the
Speaker 1: former Coulton, has come in and made an instant impact
Speaker 1: on defense. Henry, thanks, thanks so much for joining us.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you. So what's the story third day of
Speaker 1: the draft. You're a veteran in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: You remember the Indianapolis Colts. What are you doing on
Speaker 1: the third day of the draft when you're the thinking, hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just probably got a lazy saturday at Yeah. I
Speaker 1: was like, I was just honestly chilling in my, uh
Speaker 1: my house in Indie playing video games. What video game
Speaker 1: where you're playing pub g Player Unknowns Battlegrounds. It's kind
Speaker 1: of like Fortnite but a little bit different, but just
Speaker 1: chilling playing video games. And then I have my phone
Speaker 1: nice to me look down as the GM's name on it,
Speaker 1: and I figured I should probably put down the put
Speaker 1: down the video game and pick up the phone. And uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: he told me that they were just they're gonna trade
Speaker 1: me to to New York. Um he talked a little
Speaker 1: bit after that, but um, soon after, Coach Bowls called,
Speaker 1: Um d Lion coach called, and UM got everything set
Speaker 1: up to fly up here? How crazy was that it was?
Speaker 1: It was weird just because like one second, Um, you're
Speaker 1: thinking you're gonna be in an indie for the for
Speaker 1: the next year, and then all of a sudden you
Speaker 1: get a call and like your whole life change is
Speaker 1: pretty much in an instant. So it was definitely weird. Um,
Speaker 1: how does the GM deliver that message? By the way, Hey, Andry,
Speaker 1: how's it going. It's Chris. I just wanted to tell
Speaker 1: you I was shipping in to New York. I mean,
Speaker 1: he he was. He had mentioned that, like obviously that's
Speaker 1: kind of the the the crabby part of the business, um,
Speaker 1: because you you, I had a good relationship with him,
Speaker 1: He had a good relationship with me, Um, and like
Speaker 1: we're not together and like we're different teams now, so UM,
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's a tough part of the business.
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, he he he and I both
Speaker 1: thought that it was gonna kind of work out better
Speaker 1: for me and and I was grateful for the opportunity.
Speaker 1: Now do you blame that that that trade on you guys?
Speaker 1: Changing from a three four to the four three defense. Yeah, Um,
Speaker 1: I know like the scheme. I fit better in a
Speaker 1: three four UM than a four three And I wasn't
Speaker 1: really the prototypical like four three D and that they
Speaker 1: that they were looking for in Indy, So UM, I
Speaker 1: think that was part of it. UM, And I had
Speaker 1: some injury issues during during my time in Indianapolis, so
Speaker 1: I think that played a role as well. So UM,
Speaker 1: I understood the move for sure. Uh. And I'm I
Speaker 1: was definitely happy that that they moved me to a
Speaker 1: team that that was three or four defense. Can you
Speaker 1: talk about the difference between playing defensive end and a
Speaker 1: three four versus the four three? Yeah, So like three
Speaker 1: or four d n UM, you're usually close to around
Speaker 1: three for like two ninety pounds, and you're you're taking
Speaker 1: on double teams from UM the tackle tight end and
Speaker 1: sometimes you're bumped down inside on the guard taking on
Speaker 1: double teams from the garden tackles. So you're a little
Speaker 1: bit bigger and you're kind of eating up blocks UM,
Speaker 1: and it's kind of three fours are typically designed to
Speaker 1: to where the linebackers are are making a lot of tackles. UM.
Speaker 1: Four three ends are a lot quicker just kind of
Speaker 1: shooting off the ball, getting up the field. UM. And
Speaker 1: it's just a different scheme. So so after getting double
Speaker 1: teamed all the time, how do you find time to
Speaker 1: continue to make plays in the second in the backfield?
Speaker 1: It seems like you're always in the backfom Well, I
Speaker 1: mean he the coaching staff has kind of put it
Speaker 1: on me that they the role that they've kind of
Speaker 1: carved out for me has been, uh going in there
Speaker 1: on third down and getting after the passer UM. And
Speaker 1: it's kind of a new role for me. In India
Speaker 1: was kind of an every down h d N UM,
Speaker 1: but coming here and and you know, being more of
Speaker 1: a pass rushing d N. It's been new to me.
Speaker 1: But I've tried to do the best I can at it, UM,
Speaker 1: and it's it's kind of giving me a little more
Speaker 1: freedom to where I when I'm in there, I can
Speaker 1: just kind of fire off the ball, UM, get up
Speaker 1: field and try to recab it in the backfield. So UM,
Speaker 1: I've enjoyed like the role and and and whatever what
Speaker 1: it entails, UM and definitely looking forward to UM continue
Speaker 1: with these guys up front. Inside. The Jettic is presented
Speaker 1: by e Y building a better working world. Eric Allen
Speaker 1: here with Eric Coleman and our guests. Segment is Jets
Speaker 1: defensive lineman Henry Anderson. Well, you had the luxury what
Speaker 1: what I would say a lot of people would say
Speaker 1: is a luxury of Okay, I'm losing weight in Indianapolis
Speaker 1: to become a four three defensive van. Now I got
Speaker 1: to go to New York and be a three four
Speaker 1: the lineman on the interior again. So I have to
Speaker 1: gain a lot of weight in a hurry. How do
Speaker 1: you go about that? Yeah, it was It was pretty hard,
Speaker 1: um because I was like to last year and Indie
Speaker 1: playing playing d N there, and then since they switched defenses,
Speaker 1: I dropped down to a little little below to seventy
Speaker 1: UM during the off season, and then obviously once I
Speaker 1: got the call on draft or on h Yeah, once
Speaker 1: once I got the call on draft Day that I
Speaker 1: was getting traded, I was like, yeah, I'm going back
Speaker 1: to a three four team, so I probably gonna have
Speaker 1: to add add all that weight back. So the past
Speaker 1: few months of losing weight has been pretty much for nothing.
Speaker 1: So I was pretty much from that moment like the
Speaker 1: night I flew in, I actually came here and had
Speaker 1: a couple of burgers, wings, some fries, so I was
Speaker 1: I was trying to put the weight back on pretty quick.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was. I mean, I definitely uh loosened
Speaker 1: up my diet a little bit once I knew I'd
Speaker 1: be getting the weight back. Still try to eat pretty healthy,
Speaker 1: kind of had more a few more cheap meals than
Speaker 1: I was having when during my uh weight lost phase.
Speaker 1: But wasn't it hard though? Yeah? It was. I mean
Speaker 1: just because you're like especially during because I came here
Speaker 1: in the middle of the off season program when we're
Speaker 1: having pretty hard workouts and runs, and um, I was
Speaker 1: just constantly like I don't know, pop people think, oh,
Speaker 1: you get to gain all this weight, like you must
Speaker 1: be you must be loving life, You're just getting to
Speaker 1: eat whatever you want. But it was like, nah, like
Speaker 1: you're just it's like a job, just constantly having to
Speaker 1: find time to eat and get a snack in here,
Speaker 1: like not even hungry, you just have to keep eating.
Speaker 1: So it was, uh, yeah, I'm kind of glad that
Speaker 1: that whole process is over. Um kind of at a
Speaker 1: steady right now. So I'm glad that that's all over with.
Speaker 1: Why isn't working out so much for the Jets. Like
Speaker 1: I said, Uh, you have been paying dividends for this
Speaker 1: team since they get and you've really flourished in this
Speaker 1: position as a guy coming in those subsituations getting pressure
Speaker 1: on the quarterback. Yeah, it's uh, like I was saying,
Speaker 1: it's it's a lot different than my role in indeed,
Speaker 1: but um, it's nice having like the rotation that we
Speaker 1: have where um, you know, we're constantly bringing in fresh
Speaker 1: guys on the d line. Um, and India, i'd be
Speaker 1: out there on third down kind of already kind of
Speaker 1: already guessed from like first and second down. So the
Speaker 1: third down comes and you're a little bit more tired. Um,
Speaker 1: you don't feel like as quick as you want to be,
Speaker 1: especially um when you're trying to work quick pass rush
Speaker 1: moves against the offensive linement. So I mean in this
Speaker 1: in with the rotation we have where um, you know,
Speaker 1: I'll usually be on the sideline first and second down,
Speaker 1: I can come in on third down fresh ready to go. Uh,
Speaker 1: and I just kind of feel like I can move
Speaker 1: at a different speed than the dude on't lined up
Speaker 1: across from. So um it's been you know, it's been different.
Speaker 1: But the rotation we have is definitely has has helped
Speaker 1: a lot. Now not with as many defensive lineman as
Speaker 1: you have, and with that rotation, I know, I'm sure
Speaker 1: it gets very competitive. Do you guys have like a
Speaker 1: sack pot? You know, all the teams I played on
Speaker 1: us to put together some money for the first defensive
Speaker 1: lineman to get a sack. Do you guys do anything
Speaker 1: special like that during I wish, Nah, I wish, But
Speaker 1: me and Leo kind of have like we were He's
Speaker 1: got three, I got two and a half. So we're
Speaker 1: kind of pushing each other and and you know, trying
Speaker 1: to get those numbers up. But now we don't have
Speaker 1: any uh no sack pot or anything like. How have
Speaker 1: you changed your pass rushing style since entering the National
Speaker 1: Football League? The book on you has always been this
Speaker 1: guy has a tremendous motor, and from watching you here
Speaker 1: early in the season, that is a accurate. Yeah, it's uh.
Speaker 1: I was actually my rookie year, I was a terrible
Speaker 1: pass rush. Yeah. I was really bad. Um college. I
Speaker 1: mean my senior year in college, h I had eight
Speaker 1: and a half sacks, So I mean I had I
Speaker 1: had a lot of success in college rushing the pastor UM.
Speaker 1: But in the league, like offensive lineman or just they
Speaker 1: do a lot of like crafty you know, crafty vets
Speaker 1: stuff that you don't really see at the college level. Um,
Speaker 1: they're punches different, their sets are different. So it took me,
Speaker 1: I mean, and I'm still getting used to it. I've
Speaker 1: got a long ways to go as a pass rusher.
Speaker 1: But UM, I got a little more comfortable out there
Speaker 1: recognizing UM and kind of learning and understanding past sets
Speaker 1: by the by the offensive lineman and UM just continuing
Speaker 1: to work hands, hands and feet and you know, working
Speaker 1: edges on the on the offensive line. I think that's
Speaker 1: a great point and I'd like you to elaborate on
Speaker 1: that a little bit. When you mean, when you talk
Speaker 1: past sets, what does that mean for folks out there
Speaker 1: listening as far as what are your keith? Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: so third down, I mean most of the time, if
Speaker 1: it's third and three plus, third and four plus, I'm
Speaker 1: thinking past like they're not they're probably not gonna run
Speaker 1: the ball if it's if it's third and three plus, UM,
Speaker 1: So I'm once I'm out there, I'm just thinking get
Speaker 1: off the ball. Um. But the thing is, like I mean,
Speaker 1: some offensive lineman will the snap of the ball, they'll
Speaker 1: jump right out at you, punch you right in the chest.
Speaker 1: And then some offensive lineman will, um kind of we
Speaker 1: call it soft set anywhere they'll they'll just kick back
Speaker 1: and almost like kick back into the quarterback, and they
Speaker 1: won't give you any hand like like they won't shoot
Speaker 1: their hands at you. They'll just kinda they want you
Speaker 1: to just run straight into them so they can hug
Speaker 1: you up and and just kind of let you sit
Speaker 1: in the middle of them. So, um, different guys and
Speaker 1: like within all that, there's they punched with different hands.
Speaker 1: Sometimes they'll punch the inside hand and um, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of wait with the outside hand until you work
Speaker 1: your move and then try to grab you. So there's
Speaker 1: just a bunch of different little nuances, um that you
Speaker 1: try to pick up as you watch film and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. But um, the more reps that I've gotten,
Speaker 1: the more like the more comfortable I've I've been pass Russian.
Speaker 1: So it's still work in progress though. So so with
Speaker 1: all the rules, you know, there's a lot of controversy
Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks in the NFL with defensive
Speaker 1: lineman hitting quarterbacks. How has that changed the way you
Speaker 1: approached hitting the quarterback and do you feel like you've
Speaker 1: made the adjustment. Yeah, I mean it's such a it's
Speaker 1: it's it's such a hard rule just because like in
Speaker 1: certain cases, you can definitely, you can definitely pull off
Speaker 1: and kind of roll to the side. But then I
Speaker 1: mean certain situations you're running head on and like some
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league aren't easy, like if you're trying
Speaker 1: to if you're trying to sack Ben Roethlisburger, like Cam Newton,
Speaker 1: like you don't have the luxury of just like rolling
Speaker 1: off to the side, and because they're just as big
Speaker 1: as you. Yeah, like these guys are gonna break the
Speaker 1: tackle if I try to roll off to the side. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's hard. Um, I know a lot
Speaker 1: of it's there's been a lot of questionable calls the
Speaker 1: first few leeks of the season. Um, honestly, I haven't
Speaker 1: really changed anything the size that I've gotten. I've actually
Speaker 1: I kind of hit Tyrod pretty hard in the Cleveland game,
Speaker 1: but I guess I didn't land on top of him
Speaker 1: because they didn't throw the flag. But um, yeah, I'm coming.
Speaker 1: I usually rush on the right side so I'm coming
Speaker 1: from the quarterback's blind side, and usually if I do
Speaker 1: sack them, I'm kind of falling. It's I'm not falling
Speaker 1: like straight on top of them anyway, So I haven't
Speaker 1: had to adjust anything too much, um thus far. But
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I'm just hoping I don't get I don't
Speaker 1: get called for that, because that's a pretty big fun
Speaker 1: these days. All right, Listen, we gotta have you come
Speaker 1: back on because there's about twenty five topics that we
Speaker 1: didn't get to that I'd like to talk to you about.
Speaker 1: But Henry, you're off to a very good start with
Speaker 1: your new team. Uh. Big time edition, great value by
Speaker 1: Mike mcagnan getting you for a seventh round pick Um,
Speaker 1: thanks for stopping by tonight, and Eric Coleman and myself
Speaker 1: will come back for our final segment here on Inside
Speaker 1: the Jets. Welcome back this side of the Jets. We
Speaker 1: are broadcasting live from Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits inside the
Speaker 1: Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel. Eric Allen alongside Eric Coleman. Wow,
Speaker 1: those guys, both of them, Andre Roberts and Henry Anderson.
Speaker 1: Impressive dudes and they can play football too. Big pickups
Speaker 1: from Mike Mike mcagnan in here in the off season. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: And you always talk about bringing in good character guys.
Speaker 1: You know, both of those, both of those gentlemen are
Speaker 1: are are great people off the field and on the field,
Speaker 1: hard workers, great examples for the young players to follow,
Speaker 1: and uh, they're producing for the Jets more importantly. You
Speaker 1: know what, we didn't get a chance to talk to
Speaker 1: Anderson about his nickname. Everyone around the building calls him Goose,
Speaker 1: but nobody has figured out the nickname, so we didn't
Speaker 1: get We have to have him back on for another segment.
Speaker 1: And then Andre Roberts interesting background, moving all over the place,
Speaker 1: growing up in a military family. Uh, and he came
Speaker 1: here in the off season under the radar signing, and
Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people knew what he
Speaker 1: could bring to the table. He's been an explosive return
Speaker 1: man for this team. Yeah, I mean and happening. An
Speaker 1: explosive return man is something that's taken for granted. He's
Speaker 1: a guy that can help this offense with field position,
Speaker 1: changing the size of the field and really be a weapon.
Speaker 1: You know, he's a good leader on special teams. Comes
Speaker 1: from Atlanta with with a special teams coach Keith Armstrong.
Speaker 1: I played for one of the best in the league,
Speaker 1: so you know he's gonna be have great discipline and really,
Speaker 1: you know, has had a great year thus far, and
Speaker 1: Anderson has fit in very well on that defensive front
Speaker 1: because you're asking him to come in and not play
Speaker 1: three knobs. He's the guy's coming in and being that
Speaker 1: situational pass rusher, and he's thriving doing that. Not only
Speaker 1: is he getting to the quarterback and getting some heads,
Speaker 1: and he's got the two and a half sacks, which
Speaker 1: is a career high. He's also very long, so that
Speaker 1: provides a lot of issues for those inside offensive linements,
Speaker 1: the guards who got to take care of him because
Speaker 1: he's got that long reach and he could get his
Speaker 1: hands up against opposing quarterbacks. Yeah, you know, and he's
Speaker 1: a player that that's just getting started, you know with
Speaker 1: his production. You mentioned a career high two and a
Speaker 1: half sacks, But the sky's a limit for this guy.
Speaker 1: You know, he's come in, He's been a great asset.
Speaker 1: He mentioned using his hands so well. He does a
Speaker 1: great job of He's starting to understand how offensive linemen
Speaker 1: are starting to attack him, use it against them. And
Speaker 1: it's really become a great competition between he and Leonard Williams.
Speaker 1: You know that they're getting after the quarterback, getting pressure
Speaker 1: on the quarterback, which makes things easier for guys like
Speaker 1: myself who are in the secondary. No, you're always thinking
Speaker 1: about yourself, Eric, Yeah, uh, what do you think about
Speaker 1: this matchup? This week? The Jets go to Chicago after
Speaker 1: the three game homestand back on the road again, and
Speaker 1: then they'll start a FC East play in earnest because
Speaker 1: their next three games after the Bears FC East divisional foes,
Speaker 1: including a return matchup with the Dolphins. But first things first,
Speaker 1: this is going to be a desperate Bearers team because
Speaker 1: they are three and three, they easily could be four
Speaker 1: and two, five and one, maybe even six and all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know this is this is a tough Bears team.
Speaker 1: You know, not many people had them mentioned at the
Speaker 1: top of the NFC North. That's a tough division this
Speaker 1: year with Detroit, Chicago, Green Bay and Minnesota, who the
Speaker 1: Jets just faced a tough division. But the Bears have
Speaker 1: a lot of talent. Uh. They got an instant upgrade
Speaker 1: getting Khalil Mack one of the defensive the best defensive
Speaker 1: players in the NFL. Mr Bisky is doing a great
Speaker 1: job offensively throwing the ball around. A couple of weeks
Speaker 1: ago had six touchdown passes. So he's a guy who
Speaker 1: can catch fire and really be an issue at quarterback.
Speaker 1: Mac has been hobbled with the ankle. He's still been
Speaker 1: playing through it. But how do you go about blocking him?
Speaker 1: And you can't go I gotta imagine you're not going
Speaker 1: one on one on one again. You're gonna need help
Speaker 1: from the backs. You're gonna need help from the titles. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: you have to block him for by committee, you know.
Speaker 1: And he's not one of these pass rushers that you
Speaker 1: can say, you know what, he's a great pass rusher,
Speaker 1: let's run at him because he's great at stopping the
Speaker 1: run as well. You know, does a good job of
Speaker 1: pursuing from the backside, force him from the front side,
Speaker 1: and obviously one of the better pass rushers. You're gonna
Speaker 1: need Tomlinson, You're gonna need Blo power, you donna need
Speaker 1: several players to understand where he is every single play
Speaker 1: and get away from as soon as possible. Conversely, you
Speaker 1: mention a Rabinsky. I think he is a quarterback who's
Speaker 1: still finding himself. In his second season, he had the
Speaker 1: big day against the Buccaneers with the six touchdown passes.
Speaker 1: Against New England, what you saw from him was a
Speaker 1: propensity maybe to escape that pocket and use his feet,
Speaker 1: and he'll do that at times. Where do you think
Speaker 1: he is at here early in his career. Well, you know, listen,
Speaker 1: this guy has a ton of talent. You're right with
Speaker 1: the with the apprehension to throw the ball down the
Speaker 1: field against great secondaries, second leading rusher on the team.
Speaker 1: So it shows you how much he's been on the run.
Speaker 1: But he is a play or that has all the
Speaker 1: armed talent, doesn't have many reps though. You know, he
Speaker 1: didn't play much at North Carolina, came in last year,
Speaker 1: played some good football, but but not really where he
Speaker 1: wanted to be. He's a guy, like you said, is
Speaker 1: finding himself, finding his game and really uh progressing as
Speaker 1: a quarterback each week. Well, that offense they run, though
Speaker 1: you're seeing it from the Andy Reid tree, what do
Speaker 1: the Jets have to prepare for in terms of the
Speaker 1: offensive scheme for that scheme? You know, uh, Andy read
Speaker 1: that that tree. They like to use a lot of
Speaker 1: crossing routes, a lot of cross country routes, which is
Speaker 1: over the top of the linebackers. Uh. You know, you
Speaker 1: see it with Tarik Hill making those big plays running
Speaker 1: away from the secondary. They do a great job attacking
Speaker 1: the ball vertically. Uh. And obviously the run game in
Speaker 1: the screen game is a is an important piece of
Speaker 1: what they do offense. Now, obviously the Bears don't have
Speaker 1: a Hill on the roster, but they got guys they
Speaker 1: Teller Gabriel Allen Robinson is a big play guy to
Speaker 1: make plays down the field to Reek call. And of
Speaker 1: course and and and they'll try to run the football
Speaker 1: as well on the other side of the ball. How
Speaker 1: do the Jets get that balance they want against the
Speaker 1: Bearers defense, Well, you know it's gonna be tough. You
Speaker 1: know that they're gonna have to find a way to
Speaker 1: establish that run. And it's tough when you have guys
Speaker 1: like Trevith on defense, you have guys like Khalil Mack
Speaker 1: on defense. Uh, excellent players on the front seven. But again,
Speaker 1: the Jets have done it against better defenses. They did
Speaker 1: it against the Broncos, They've had success against other teams.
Speaker 1: So establishing that run, Trent Can is gonna have to
Speaker 1: have another big game. If Bala Palace still injured, you
Speaker 1: know they're gonna need some guys to step up. You
Speaker 1: can't have as many drop passes as they have last week.
Speaker 1: They need to help out their quarterback as much as possible.
Speaker 1: Two similar teams, I think, and we'll have to see
Speaker 1: what happens next week. Jets Reward members, don't forget to
