Seventeen episodes, seventeen weeks. 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.560 What more could you ask for? Now? Last week we 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.240 made some predictions. Let's circle back. Let's see how he did. 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:39.760 First up, we picked. We had suicide picks, meaning we 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:41.640 all picked a game. I'm gonna start off, I'm really 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:47.240 not happy about this. I'm listening to you again. You 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.280 convinced me that I had the wrong pick, and then 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.480 you made me change my mind, and I'm not happy. 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.480 And of course I think it was strategy. I think 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.440 he did it on purpose. Did it on purpose? Do 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.720 you convey so you know what? You have conviction and 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:07.240 you did not? You? Yeah? Hold time out of time 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.400 out for the record. Going back here, Alex originally picked 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.840 the Philadelphia Eagles over the Cleveland Browns, which was correct, 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.280 and then she changed her mind, maybe in part of 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:22.720 the because Eric Allen said, wow, that's a gutsy peck. Okay, 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.520 hold on, I wanted Jason Levine to play some of 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:30.400 my show is back because I wanted your selection to 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:35.440 actually be part of this podcast, and I don't think 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:41.000 I used to work gutsy. Nonetheless, nonetheless, Alex ended up 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:45.040 picking the Indianapolis Colts over the Detroit Lions. To be fair, 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.840 the Colts almost squeaked out with a win. The Lions 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.079 kicked the last second field goal in the final minute 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:55.360 of play and it was a fail. However, we still 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.560 have to two people in the room that are winners 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:02.200 from week once, only three one here, well, but the majority, 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:08.120 the majority here sixty. Yeah, you picked a thank you, 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:14.120 Thank you, mathematicians of Florida. What are you trying to say? 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.839 What are you trying to say? Alright, alright, we haven't 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:22.200 seen your degrees yet. Let's talk about the journalism program 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.360 at over there at s New House. Yeah, we're gonna 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.360 talk let's talk about let's let's not talk about it. 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.120 Let's talk about the fact that he picked the Texans 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.799 over the Bears. I chose the Seahawks over the Dolphins, 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:37.600 thankfully squeaked by. We're gonna touch on our suicid suicide 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.800 picks later on in the show, but then we moved 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:45.080 on to the Jets, Week one Cincinnati Bengals. Unfortunately at 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.320 one point loss. We started with the first sack of 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:52.600 the season. Yeah, you said Mohammed Wilkerson. Alex and I 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.480 both said Leo Williams. Both players had very good games 0:03:56.480 --> 0:04:01.000 against the Bengals. However, the correct answer was Lorenzo mauld 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.840 and first sack of the year against But if it 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:05.800 was who had the most sacks, I would have won 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:10.760 because Leo. But that's right, and if the Colts scored 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:17.400 on the game, you'd still be in the suicide whatever. Anyway, Anyway, 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:21.400 I will say that malden sack was the only sack 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.040 of the seven I was about to touch by an 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:28.760 outside linebacker, by any linebacker. The defensive line. The defensive 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:32.240 line had a tremendous performance against the Bengals Week one. 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.280 I wrote about it on New York jet dot com. 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:39.160 It's been everywhere that it tied the most sacks in 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:44.680 any franchise season opener, which is a tremendous statistic. And 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:46.880 you know you've talked about this too, is that Leonard 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:50.040 Williams had two and a half sacks against the Bengals. 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.640 He had three last season. So is this a good 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.560 Obviously it's a good sign. But what is you know, 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.200 the defense. Get Sheldon Richardson back this week against the 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.240 Bills on Thursday. Watch out? What what is the ceiling 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.960 for this defense? Is there almost too much firepower? What 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.760 is the ceiling for the Jets podcast network? Because I 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.400 talked to Chad Pennington about this on the e A 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:18.280 podcast and he said this could be the best defensive 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:22.360 line in the National Football League period. So the ceiling. 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.200 I don't know. If you're talking about sack numbers, you 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:29.040 can debate that, but you know, bottom line to me 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.320 is the Jets defensive line is one of the best 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:36.479 units in football, not just defensive line, any unit out 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.280 there in the National Football League, one of the most 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.120 talented units out there. Alex, how impressed were I mean? 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.640 You picked Leo Williams We wrote about him. How impressed 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.040 were you? I was watching the game and it was 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.159 almost as if you expected them to sack the quarterback. 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.400 I mean Andy Dalton was down left and right, and 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.560 when they didn't, when Andy finally got away from you 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.520 know this the skirmish? Does that any say it from 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:00.760 the pressure? No? I don't know what the word I'm 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.000 looking for. But when he got away from all, I 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.760 guess the pressure or whatever. You were like what are 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.000 they doing? But like you know, it was just normal. 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.960 So it was like crazy, They just there's too much firepower. 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:17.040 That line is lit. It's literally lit. I give it. 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.560 And he done a lot of credit. Unfortunately, you know, 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:22.400 he stood in there. He took a beating and he 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.000 stood in there and he made plays. One accounted and 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.440 the Jets did a lot of good things in Week one. 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.680 Fortunately they weren't able to take down the Bengals. But 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.480 you know, I love what Todd Bowls did this week. 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.080 He kind of set the tone for this whole program 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.160 by saying we've moved on to Buffalo. I think that 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:41.800 one thing that should be brought up is that the 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:46.440 defensive line with Sheldon Moe, Leonard and even Steve McClendon, 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.480 who had two sacks in his first game as as 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:50.600 a member of the New York Jets, if they can 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:54.680 create pressure up front, and then you add in blitz packages, 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.600 that's a scary thought. If you don't need as much 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.680 blitzing as possible as you know out you can play 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:04.040 numbers in the back. Yeah, let's give Lawrence Thomason credit too. 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.560 He had a great special teams hit as well well, 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.800 but he also played in the bass. You're right about 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.440 the special teams hit, but undrafted free agent out there 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:15.400 on the first series, So what do you have to 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:20.280 say about that? I mean, any hostility there? He crushed 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.560 my hawk eyes and championship game. I interviewed him last 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.360 week actually, and I told him he broke my heart. 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.440 And Jarvis Jenkins also a veteran as part of that 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.680 rotation as well. So uh, you know, the guys like 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.880 to say this guy's the limit and that's a cliche, 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:38.800 but this unit pretty damn good. All right, let's move 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.080 on to the offensive side of the ball here again, 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:44.240 we predicted first touchdown of the season e A. You 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.720 went with Brandon Marshall, Alex went with Alex, Alex went 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:52.560 with Eric Decker. Myself, I went with Matt Forte, Quincy 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:55.400 and Quincy and noon Will was the man that we 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.720 should have we should have said, and he had his 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:02.520 first career touchdown and seven catches right let catches a 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:07.200 career high. Hopefully this could be a real foreshadow of 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.520 things to come here if because the Jets we all 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.000 know what they got on the outside, if the new 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.160 book can step up he should be receiving a lot 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.720 of one on one targets. You're right about that, Ethan, 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:20.480 There's no doubt about it. The Jets um I think 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:25.280 if Quincy continues to develop, this offense is gonna be 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:31.240 tougher and tougher for defensive coordinators get prepared for. And 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:33.320 you mentioned a noon, Well, but how about math fourte 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.400 d fifty five total yards. I think our own Randy Lang, 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.360 the statistician genius here in the building, is gonna be 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:44.640 writing about forte that's the highest mark of any player 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:49.000 in a Jets debut ever, as far as coming in 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:52.200 in their first game hundred fifty five total yards. So 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.320 that's impressive. I know, I know. Eric Decker did have 0:08:55.360 --> 0:09:01.200 a touchdown. You your step in place. You are consistently 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.960 so far second place, but the first runner up, I 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.680 guess because the thing well, yeah, but you guys didn't 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:08.800 get it either. We didn't get it either. You're right, 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:13.160 you're right. But but Decker again, he had a touchdown. 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:14.880 Help my fantasy team out. And I know you guys 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.800 don't play Fantasy Classic deck or touchdown where he like 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.959 catches it and then falls to the ground. He falls 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:25.800 on his butt every time, Alex, I know that again 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:31.920 Quincy and Noon again career high seven catches, really really 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.240 starting to show things. I know that he was someone 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.600 in throughout training camp that you kept saying to me 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.520 at least, oh, he's gonna have a breakout year. He's 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:43.480 gonna have a break you know. Do you what do 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:47.280 you expect from him moving forward? I mean, I talking 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.040 to him. He's so and I listened to eight, actually 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.360 talked to him last night on ESPN radio. He is 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:58.199 such a determined and motivated young guy out of Nebraska. 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.360 He has a great football degree, he has a great 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.840 head on his shoulders, and he worked hard. And honestly, 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:05.440 this guy is the limit for this kid. I really 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.319 think so and he well, he he was like all 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:12.560 training camp. He was very impressive. He looked extremely impressive. 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:17.280 He had the most catches Sunday against the Mangals. Um. 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.880 You know, when Marshall and Deck are getting double teamed, 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.880 he will be there. He's gonna need to be that 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.040 target that the Jets are going to have that chan 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.720 Gailey's going to have to throw to someone that usually 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.480 brought up his Brandon. Marshall actually said about Quincy and 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.480 Noon that he reminds him of Marteliz Bennett when he's 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:37.480 with the wall when he has the ball in his hands. 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:41.200 Bennett and Marshall, of course, teammates in Chicago. He described 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:45.000 Quincy as violent with the ball and you could see that, 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.840 especially last season when he had that forty eight yard 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:50.400 catch run to set the Jets up to beat the 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:54.040 Patriots and overtime. And he's explosive, he's fast. We'll see 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:56.760 what happens throughout the year, but he is that third guy. 0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:00.559 The most impressive thing he did on Sunday, you know, 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.920 not to discredit the touchdown or any of his other catches, 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.560 but there was a catch in the first half where 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:08.599 fits fire one over the middle and he knew he 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:10.679 was going to take the hit and he held on 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:15.720 and he showed sure hands and good concentration skills. And 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.200 that's something he said he was focused on in the 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:21.760 off season. That showed me something that catch. He takes 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.560 a bunch of reps from the jugs machine after practice 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.920 every day, so just speaking to his determination what you said, Alex, 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:30.880 you can clearly see that day in and day out, 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.400 and it so far it has produced on game day. Again, 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.800 this is laces in Ethan Greenberg joined alongside Eric Allen 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:40.520 and Alex Jaimo.

And it is the Western New York ewhere, 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.160 Western New Yorkity in this room knows a little bit 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:29.880 about Hey, don't don't play, don't tip my hands. We're 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.520 going to play those cards later. Okay, that's great, but 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.160 I can playing too many cards. I do like black Chack, 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.880 black jack player. Yeah, I like black Chack. I like 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:44.000 who I forgot We're in second grade? Oh my god, 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.680 the best. I'm the kind of guy it was stick 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:53.160 on stay at sixteen. I'm really not supposed to you. 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:56.520 You live life on the edgy A yeah, I'll do. 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.199 Someone wants. I believe when I'm at a table, a 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:03.200 dealer is gonna someone. Someone once told me, if you're living, 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.920 if you're not living life on the edge, you're taking 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:07.640 up too much space. And I think you took that 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:11.240 on the card table. Yeah, well, Las Vegas. We should 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.000 all go sometime and have a podcast from there. I 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:18.199 would be bad Vegas. Tell me where to sign I'm 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.440 so I'm about that. But nonetheless, the Jets will be 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.600 in Buffalo this there's a new era field Thursday in football, 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.680 the first game to be streamed on Twitter. Also, the 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.920 color rush a bit different. Last year Jets, all green, Bills, 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.960 all readroversy. This year. This year a white out. The 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:40.079 face masks are white. It is honestly super cool. The 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:44.400 face mask. I think it is amazing. I think we 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.240 have to make that a permanent change. National Football League. 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:50.440 I love you all, everybody over there park even Let's 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:52.880 let's make that a change. The white face masks should 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.160 be changed. It should be the staple of the New 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:59.160 York Jets. It is a clean look, it is fresh. Nonetheless, 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.600 the Jets will be in them debuting the white face masks, 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.840 no stripes in the socks, no stripes on the socks, 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:11.080 white socks. It is a white out. It is simply 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:14.480 put a white out. And again the Bills this week, 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.200 if you didn't know, felt to the Ravens seven from 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:20.560 M m T. Bank Stadium, and now we're going to 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.680 dive in with a little game called over under. Obviously 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:27.920 the rules are pretty self explanatory here. Yeah, your first up, Okay, great, 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.360 Brandon Marshall over under seven catches against the Buffalo Bills. 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:34.920 Push seven catches against the Bills. About that, you weren't 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:37.240 prepared for it? What does that mean? Put like he's 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.400 and and what what? What? Why? Why? What makes you 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:46.880 think that? I think that the Bills they're going to 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:52.200 be focused on both him and Eric Ducker. But I 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:57.520 think that Marshall, prime time, one of the top receivers 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.480 in the National Football League, loves this kind of challenge. 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:03.680 He knows that folks are gonna be watching throughout the league. 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:06.960 This is the kind of game where even the players 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.120 in the league know that their peers are gonna be watching. 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.000 You said it's gonna be streamed on Twitter. Everybody's gonna 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:15.240 be watching Jets and the Bills, and uh, you know 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.360 he'll be facing a lot of man press coverage out there, 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:22.400 whether it's Gilmore or Derby the Rex. Ryan at times 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:26.520 will leave his guys alone, and I think Brandon Marshall 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.200 is going to come through with them catches. Can I 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.160 piggyback off that? I mean the same thing. Are you pushing? 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:37.480 Are you going over? I'll go over. That's a monster game. 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.200 I live on the edge. Um. You know, look, this 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:44.320 is a really motivated and tremendous football player. I mean, 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.320 just based off of you know, last week's game and 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:51.240 the results in that game, I think this guy is 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.960 just going to go off. I hope he goes off. 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.800 You know, I think screams Brandon Marshall. It does. It 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:00.520 does scream Brandon Marshall. And again, well you mention last week. 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:02.600 Last week had three catches for thirty two yards. It 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:07.440 wasn't heart was targeted a lot. But that's what Eric 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.120 Decker said yesterday, and the media availabilities that it just 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.840 comes down to execution. Marshall again will be motivated. I'm 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:17.680 going under. And the reason so is because Brandon Marshall 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:23.440 himself yesterday said the offense runs through the running backs, 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:27.120 and I think that again, will Matt Forte had a 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.800 great game against the Cincinnati Bengals. I think he's gonna 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:33.280 have another great game against the Buffalo Bills. And I 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.000 think that Marshall will have a great game. I just 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.720 don't think it will be seven catches. I'm going five 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.080 or six, but not that that matters because those are 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:43.800 all encompassed and under which leads me to my next point, 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.280 and because I touched on it, I'll go first over 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.120 under Matt Forte a hundred yards. I'm going over because 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:56.120 of what I said. The offense runs through the running backs, 0:16:56.280 --> 0:17:00.720 and my thing is that the Bills have two very talented, 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.000 physical corners on the outside. They got Derby, they got 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:06.320 Stefon Gilmore. They're missing their big man in the middle, 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.920 Marcel Darius Now. They're still very stout. But I think 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.320 that the Jets are going to stick true to their 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:16.080 offensive scheme because everyone in the locker room said fine 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.719 with the scheme. Just comes down to the execution. So 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:22.679 I think Matt Forte gets his first yard rush rushing 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:24.720 game as a New York Jet, and we'll get a 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:27.280 first touchdown as a New York jet through the ground, 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:31.959 as both myself and e A predicted, And I'm fired up. 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:35.920 Can I go because I just want to go? Of course, 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:40.080 I'm gonna go Forte no Way because that rhymes and 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:44.119 no way, no way Forte lots there's lots of targets 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:47.280 for Chan, Gailey and Todd Bowls to go around in 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:50.520 this game. Below. Powell is also let's not forget about him, 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.760 and extremely talented running back. He's a bruiser. There were 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.240 some plays, Um, he didn't get the ball that much 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:58.639 against the angle. He had six carres. Did I anticipate 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:02.520 him getting more carries this week? So I'm going Forte 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:06.560 no way. Wow, I'll take the under Listen, he had 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:12.119 total yards last week. Uh. The Bills, they're gonna try 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:15.240 to take away your run game. They're gonna they're gonna try. 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.200 They're gonna play in the box, they're gonna play Man 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:22.280 President outside and they're gonna switch some things up on you. 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:25.600 I do think Matt Forte is going to be effective. 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:28.639 I think will be effective throughout the year. Um, I 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:33.160 do think he probably will go over a hundred total yards. Um. 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:37.160 But the way the Bills stacked the box, I think 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:40.639 there's gonna be some opportunities to make some plays with 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:42.600 the passing game and that will set up the run. 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:46.080 And Alex made the great point, this is not any wake, 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.800 any kind of knock on Matt Forte, is that you 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.159 do have a lot of pole in the backfield as well, 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.440 and it's a dynamic one to paunch. And we really 0:18:56.440 --> 0:19:02.919 saw that late, especially on a drive eventually, uh eventually 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:07.720 led to a field goal from Nick Folk, but he 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:11.200 saw fort believe five carries thirty two yards and then 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:15.280 blow Paul had three carries thirty nine yards um and 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:19.200 then talking that specific, that was really really impressive drive. 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:21.440 And I just think that it's gonna be a nice 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:25.280 combination here. I think, just piggybacking off of what you said. 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:27.720 You turned to me when Powell came in and said, 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:29.800 oh wow, that he has fresh legs. I think that 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:32.480 moving forward through the season, I think he will get 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:37.479 a bit of more work and did not Ethan let 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.000 me interrupted there. He did not play in Week seventeen 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:42.440 when the Jets needed that ball game against some Buffalo 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:46.160 and he was the five weeks prior to that week's 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:50.679 seventeen he was. Alex would say he was lit He 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:57.720 actually led the NFL weeks eleven through sixteen in catches 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.080 or the amount of catches her game per running for 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:04.200 a running for running back, so he became the third 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:08.560 He became the Jets third receiving and uh and I 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:12.400 think that ball Powell should and will have a great 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:14.520 role on this team and a dynamic one to punch. 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:17.040 As you said. Now shifting to the defensive side of 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:19.080 the ball. Here we talked about it's seven sacks for 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:23.560 the defense. Can they replicate not going with seven? Will 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:27.120 the defense over under five sacks? Over over over over 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:31.400 over over over. He almost got ton time there over over. 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:36.119 Childer Richardson is coming back. The ridiculous talent their beasts 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:39.320 out there. Leo had two and a half sacks, mol 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:42.080 had one and a half sacks. Who am I forgotten? 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:46.600 Steve mcclennon, good old nun nine had two and a 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:48.879 half sacks. And I think they'll be all over Teller. 0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:52.120 I'm not gonna say five sacks. So he's a tremendously 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:56.800 mobile player. I think they're gonna make his life live 0:20:56.880 --> 0:21:01.160 in heck out there Thursday night. With that being said, um, 0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:04.199 there haven't been a number of occasions so far in 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:08.360 his young career as a starting quarterback where ty Rod 0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:11.600 he's felt the heat and he takes some big hits sometimes, 0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:15.760 but to go for five sacks, that's tough to keep 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:18.159 up that kind of pace. Andy Dalton's more of a 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:21.400 guy's gonna stand back there. I'm not saying Andy stationary, 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:23.320 but you know, and he's gonna try to go up top. 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:28.800 Last week, Baltimore kept ty Rod in the pocket and 0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:30.760 what he ended up doing was taking a lot of 0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:35.080 short stuff. The Jets will take that. I want if 0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:38.640 you're the Jets, you want Tyrod Taylor in the pocket 0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:41.760 because he can create damage if he gets outside the pocket. 0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:45.760 I'm gonna I'm gonna go you're out with Brandon Marshall, 0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:49.120 I'm gonna go push. I'm put on pushing it exactly. 0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:52.720 So I think that seven was, you know, obviously a 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:55.320 great game, a bit ambitious, and to what you said, 0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:59.120 he a about Tyrod Taylor, he is I would say, 0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:01.480 more of a dual threat at than Andy Dalton. Not 0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:04.280 that Andy Dalton is stationary like you said, but I 0:22:04.320 --> 0:22:08.439 think that if you're Tyrod Taylor and the Buffalo Bills, 0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:11.160 your game plan should be to maybe move Tyrode out 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:13.720 of the pocket. Maybe a lot of rolling out just 0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:17.480 to kind of immobilize the men, the men up front 0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:19.920 for the New York Jets, just because they are so talented. 0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:23.720 And I think Sheldon Richardson is hungrier than ever. In 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:25.760 the off season, he said he's more of a student 0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:28.520 of the game, listening to defensive line coach Pepper Johnson, 0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:31.200 and I think that will show on the field immediately. 0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:33.440 He said, he's hungry, he's ready. He has to play 0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:36.680 catch up to Steve McClendon, who was who had two 0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:38.560 sacks and kind of giving him the business a little bit. 0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:41.000 You know, Sheldon like, come, come catch me. So I 0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:43.719 think that Sheldon's hungry. I think the Jets defense is hungry. 0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:46.680 I'm very excited to see what happens Thursday night again 0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:51.160 CBS tri Cast, CBS, NFL Network, and Twitter, the first 0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:55.320 ever game that will be streamed on Twitter. Lastly, here 0:22:55.440 --> 0:23:00.879 wrapping things up for the Buffalo Bills combined points thirty 0:23:00.880 --> 0:23:05.400 eight and a half over or under. Eric Allen, Well, 0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:10.000 that's interesting to one. The Jets and the Bengals combined 0:23:10.080 --> 0:23:15.440
