1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Ryan Fitzpatrick and you are listening to 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: the e A Podcast with Eric Allen. Take it away. 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 1: Thanks Fits. Now, let's bring in our weekly contributor here 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: on the e A Podcast, that of course is Chad Pennington. 5 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna break this baby into segments today, Chad, as 6 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: November begins for the New York Jets, obviously against the 7 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. A listless first half the Jets were trying 8 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: that came out and dominated in the second half. But 9 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: I don't even want to talk about that ball game 10 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: because right now, what I want to focus on is 11 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: Chad's favorite halftime speech during your playing career, because I 12 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 1: wanted to be a fly on the wall in Cleveland 13 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: at First Energy Stadium on Sunday to hear what Todd 14 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: Bowles and the players were saying. But you go back 15 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: to your playing career right now, and let's find out 16 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: Chad Pennington's favorite halftime speech, either as a pro or 17 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: even going back to college in high school days. Oh man, um, well, 18 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: d A, I think that one that comes to mind. 19 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: As a pro. We were playing in San Francisco. We're 20 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: five and oh and two thousand and four or four 21 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: and home maybe, and um we went into halftime down 22 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: fourteen a zero. So I remember that that halftime speech 23 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: was all about, you know, our offense not performing um 24 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: well at all, and you know, just talking about having 25 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: to step up and quit making excuses and stepping up 26 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: and making plays and quit leaving our defense hung out 27 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: the dry and be real and honest with each other 28 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: and you know, do what we need to do. Um. 29 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: So you know, I do remember that one now that 30 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: you asked me off the cuff here, I do remember 31 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: that speech. But you know, I looked back at that 32 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: Cleveland game and I mean, you just this team just 33 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: teases you with what it's capable of being able to do. 34 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: But at the same time, I still think it's a 35 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: blue collar team. It's a team that has to play 36 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: hard nosed, it has to take advantage of its opponent's 37 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: mistakes that can't make very many mistakes to overcome those. 38 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: And if they play boot blue collar and take care 39 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: of those little things, they certainly have a chance to 40 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: do well on the second half of the seear Yeah, 41 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: the Jets uh of a two game winning streak as 42 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: they had the Miami and face the Dolphins. Will preview 43 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: that game in a couple of moments, um, But what 44 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: is it like in a pro locker room at halftime? 45 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: Because people watch movies, you know, and we're all a 46 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: customed to seeing people come in with their the fire 47 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: and brimstone, the stuff that makes you get chill bumps 48 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: watching at home or in the movie theaters. But what 49 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: is a pro locker room like at halftime when you 50 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: guys actually go back in there? Is there a speech 51 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: from the head coach? Do you all break into positional 52 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: group and talk to your positional coach? Does the coordinators 53 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: do both? Court all three coordinators take their groups to 54 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: the side. Because we don't know, Chad, you've lived it well, 55 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: it's very business like. Typically, it's very business like where 56 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: a lot of those things you mentioned happened. So you 57 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: have you know, the offense getting together talking with their 58 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: position coaches and then meeting together as a team talking 59 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 1: with the coordinator discussing halftime adjustments defensively doing the same thing. 60 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: Also have the head coach putting in a couple of 61 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: words just from an overall perspective, um, once he talks 62 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: with his staff. And then sometimes depending on the situation, 63 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: you may have a player too that has to get 64 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: emotional and talk to the team. Typically that's about effort 65 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: and attitude and making plays that may necessarily not be 66 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: about game plan stuff. So but for the most part, 67 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: it's a business like environment as far as um you know, 68 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: not a lot of craziness going on, just really trying 69 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: to focus in on what do we need to do 70 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: to either continue what we're doing or to change what 71 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: we're doing in the first half from an attitude and 72 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: a scheme standpoint, to do better in the second half. 73 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: But is there a point where the head coach gets 74 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: into the center of the room and everybody is glued 75 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: on him or that doesn't really happen. Typically, No, that 76 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: happens typically at the end, right before you go out 77 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: as a team to go back out on the field 78 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: and head coach and bring the team up, and they're 79 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: glued on him and what he has to say in 80 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: in in a minute or two just to bring everybody together. 81 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: You've got your adjustments, you've got your game plan. Now 82 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: bring everybody together here a couple of words from the 83 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,119 Speaker 1: head coach moving forward, and then walked out as a team. 84 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: What about the Saturday night before the game when you 85 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: guys are at a hotel, whether that's on the road 86 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: or at home staying away from your family's Is that 87 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: the one what that basically really sets the tone for 88 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: what to come, for what is to come on Sunday? 89 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: And is that the time where you see maybe some 90 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: inspirational videos or some different speeches, different guys getting up 91 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: and things like that, because I know over the years 92 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: I've heard different things happen at that team meeting on 93 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: Saturday night before you guys actually go to bed and 94 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: UH and and have your final rest before Sunday. Each 95 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: team varies, but typically you could possibly see from a 96 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: coach who wants to bring in an inspirational motivational speaker, 97 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: depending on the situation. UM, you also have UH an 98 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: inspirational message from the coach maybe with the video played. 99 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: You also talk about team goals for that game, so 100 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: you understand as a team what you're trying to get 101 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: accomplished and how each facet of the team, special teams, office, 102 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: defense has to plug in to the victory. UM. And 103 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: then also you have your offensive, defensive and special teams 104 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: meetings where you're going over last minute reminders. You're maybe 105 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: looking at a couple of different plays or players that 106 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: you've got to make sure that you're aware of or 107 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: take up from an offensive, defensive, special teams standpoint. So 108 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: it's there's a lot of different moving parts, um, but 109 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: everything is centered around those team goals offensive, defensive and 110 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: special team goals that you know we're going to make 111 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: you successful and ultimately lead you to victory. You played 112 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: under a number of different guys with completely different personalities, 113 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: you know, going back to the days of al grow 114 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: and then you played under her mad Words, Eric Manginie, 115 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: Tony Sperano and a couple others in there as well. UM. 116 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: Can you talk about the not the differences in game 117 00:06:54,440 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: day philosophies, but by the way they worked the room. Yeah, 118 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: I think. Uh. You know, Eric really enjoyed bringing in 119 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: He loved boxing and the perspective that boxing brings, and 120 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: so he loved bringing in people around the boxing world, 121 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: UH speakers and just talking about that competitive edge and 122 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: things like that. Uh. Coach Edwards, we all know his 123 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: UM strength is in motivation, and so he would do 124 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: a great job with his motivational talks and and and 125 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: talking to the team and preparing us to get ready 126 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: to play and enjoy the challenge. UM. Coach Rono was 127 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: very diplomatic, but he and he really liked using videos 128 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: and different tools too and stories to talk to the 129 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: team as far as preparing us. So you know, there's 130 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: different tactics that coaches like to use. A lot of 131 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: coaches have different tools in our toolback to try to 132 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: get the team motivated. It it's a long, grinding season, 133 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: and so head coaches have to be very creative and 134 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,239 Speaker 1: very judicious and picking and choosing their times to talk 135 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: with the team to motivate the team, being creative in 136 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: the tools that they used to motivate the team and 137 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: keep the team focused. I mean, it's to be a coach, 138 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: you probably need your degree in psychology because that's what 139 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: you're dealing with, is that you know the psychology of players. 140 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: Very simply put, how do you explain what happened on Sunday? 141 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: As the Jets really had nothing in the first half, 142 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: they made a couple of plays. Blapo explodes for a touchdown, 143 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: Tohron Peak made a tremendous catch up the sideline. Uh 144 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall was trying to get that ball club going, 145 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: but there is nothing there mostly for the first thirty 146 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: minutes and the guys will tell you that, but then 147 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: they rebound have a twenty four point decisive run takedown 148 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: the Browns. But you just watching it on film and 149 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: as a guy who battled in between the white lines, 150 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: how do you explain it? Well, first of all, I 151 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: think you have to make sure that you understand the 152 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: difference between expectation and standard, and so I don't necessarily 153 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: think that the Jets were playing at a low standard. 154 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: I think the expectation of the Jets should roll in 155 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: there and beat an HO and seven team from start 156 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: to finish is probably a little bit unrealistic. Number One, 157 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: Cleveland has been in a lot of different games, and uh, 158 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: you know they have players too, and then they can 159 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: compete at a high level. So that's number one. I 160 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: think probably the most disappointing part of the first half 161 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: would be the last six minutes of the first half. 162 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: It's attend to seven game and then you know, by 163 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: the end of the first half it's twenty seven. That's 164 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: where it got away from the Jets. Other than that, 165 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: it was just kind of feeling your way out. If 166 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: there's anything that changed, it was the sense of urgency 167 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: of the team that the team brought a sense of 168 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: urgency to the second half because they were forced to. 169 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: Whereas you would like to see your team bring that 170 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: sense of urgency from the get and not have to 171 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: develop a sense urgency because of the lack of production 172 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: and the other team getting after. You'd like to bring 173 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: that off the bus and established that yourself and not 174 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: have the other team caused that sense urgency, because sometimes 175 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: just because the team calls it sense urgency doesn't mean 176 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: that you respond well, and so especially on the road. 177 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: But I will say when you look at the statistics, 178 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: you see winning statistics, and you see winning the turnover 179 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: battle zero to two. You see winning the time of 180 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: possession thirty three to twenty six. You see the running 181 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: game a hundred and seventy one yards, and so you 182 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: see winning statistics in there. It's just that it didn't 183 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: happen over four quarters. That actually happened more in the 184 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: last two quarters. What change for Ryan Fitzpatrick? That was 185 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: a near disastrous first half. He took a vicious shot 186 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: extending for the first down there holm the goals flying. 187 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: But god Fits is as tough as they come. Uh. 188 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: He plays it like a linebacker sometimes and that's scary. 189 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: But I could get nothing going in the passing game, 190 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,599 Speaker 1: the three completions in the first half, but then he 191 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: came back, uh in the second half and really settled 192 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: in and played a decent ball game. Yeah, execution was 193 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: huge in the first half, or lack there of drop balls, 194 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: miss throws, um, you know, things like that, just not 195 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: very much continuity at all. And then in the second half, 196 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: I think what you saw early in the second half 197 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,119 Speaker 1: was completions on first and second now, and that established 198 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: some rhythm and established some timing, gave Fitzpatrick as well 199 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: as the rest of the offense some energy and confidence, 200 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: and they were able to build on that for three 201 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: possessions in a row. And uh So, although we want 202 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: to sit here nitpick the first half, we also should 203 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: complement how the team played in the second half, um, 204 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: and how they came out and just played a really, 205 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: really high level and they executed. They took advantage of 206 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: their situations and opportunities. If I had to nick pick 207 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: the second half at all, it would be that when 208 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: you have a team down and you get two turnovers 209 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: like that, you've got to turn those into more points 210 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 1: than just three, especially when you get a turnover inside 211 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: their tent. That has to be a touchdown. That cannot 212 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: be a field goal in my opinion, especially when you 213 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: when you're playing better competition. That is putting the knife 214 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: uh and the dagger so called, into the back of 215 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: the opponent and really taking that game out of reach 216 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: instead of being thirty one to twenty. But if Cleveland 217 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: handles the clock a little bit better, they have even 218 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: a better shot to try to tie that game up 219 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: at the end. But they didn't handle the clock at 220 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: a very well at all at the end of the game. 221 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: Let's go mid season Awards right now in the A 222 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: podcast with Chad Pennyton, Jets A three and five. They're 223 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: not where they want to be, but we're gonna look 224 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: at it their first eight games and say, chat, if 225 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: you had to say who is the team m v 226 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: P at the midway point, what would you say? Well, 227 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: here's here's what I say. Offensively. Um, sometimes I think 228 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: most valuable UH doesn't necessarily mean the most productive yet, 229 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: because sometimes your most valuable player just with his presence 230 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 1: on the field provides a lot of value even though 231 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: the stats are there. So I'm gonna stay away from 232 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: m v P and I will use the term most 233 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: productive and I really liked the production with the moon Law. 234 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: I think he has provided a spark when the offense 235 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: has needed it. He has really stepped into that role. 236 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: With with Eric Decker gone, I think the Jets should 237 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: be excited about his production and what he's been able 238 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: to do. He made some amazing plays on on the 239 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 1: Sunday and touchdown run was awesome and so and he's 240 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: done that throughout the year and so, uh, touch out 241 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: a catching run, I should say. But um, I think 242 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: I've been impressed with him, But I've also been impressed 243 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: with blal Powell and Matt Forte and and and some 244 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: of the other guys that have really pitched in. It 245 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: is truly I think it has been a team effort. 246 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: Uh from that standpoint, But I will have to give 247 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: the nod to Quincy and Noon Wa in that regard. Well, Noon, 248 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: what I'm paced actually for in a thousand yard receiving 249 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: season right now? I know it's early and we're just 250 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: the halfway point, but this is the e A podcast, 251 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: so I'm making the rules here. And Brandon Marshall, of 252 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: course I'm paced for another a thousand yards season. So 253 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: without Eric Ducker in the lineup, with Jets still could 254 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: have two a thousand yard receivers this year, which would 255 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: really be something. The emergence of a Noon from a 256 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: quarterbacks perspective, you spoke about him and you really like them. 257 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: What stands out to you about his physicality, because the 258 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: good thing about a Noon was I think he still 259 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: has a ways to go because sometimes have a couple 260 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: of drops here and there and things like that, and 261 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: he's continuing to work on his hands and his concentration 262 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: and that stuff will openly talk about. But from a 263 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: physical skill set, what do you love about him as 264 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: a former quarterback? Well, uh, you said it. His physicality, 265 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: I think, and his versatility. Those will be the two 266 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: words that I use. Number one, really his physicality in 267 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: the run after the catch, in his ability to take 268 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: a ten yard gain and turn it into twenty five 269 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: or turning into a touchdown. Uh. And then his versatility 270 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: being able to work outside, inside, use as a tied end, 271 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: sometimes use as a slot receiver, all the different things 272 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: he creates, some matchup issues and and some personnel issues, 273 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: and so for him to be of the step to 274 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: the forefront and have the production that he has had 275 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: for me as a quarterback, I know I have Marshalls, 276 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: I know I have pal out the backfield. I need 277 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: that other guy with Decker gone, And to me, fitz 278 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: Patrick can go. He's my guy. He's my guy that 279 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: I can trust that if they take away Brandon Marshall, 280 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: one is gonna make a play for me. And I 281 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: think that is really huge from the quarterback. There are 282 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: a number of players inside the Jets locker room who 283 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: will tell you, hey, listen, I gotta play better. I 284 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: know to help this team win. But in your mind, 285 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: as we look at this team at the mid season point, 286 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: who is one player who really needs to step up 287 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: his game for the Green and White to get back 288 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: into this and continue this little mini ron New started 289 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: with a two game win streak. Well, uh, the first 290 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: thought would be the quarterback. I think I think that 291 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: fitz Patrick would tell you that he has to be 292 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: more consistent. It It doesn't necessarily mean he has to 293 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: have three hundred yard games games and three touchdowns every game. 294 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: That that's not what we're talking about. We're just talking 295 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: about really more or less avoiding disasters and disasters plays 296 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: and keeping your team away from those types of negative 297 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: things rather than creating more positive things. I think, Uh, 298 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: that's where it has to start. That's where it was 299 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 1: last year. That's where it has to be this year. 300 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: It starts with the quarterback, and he's starting to play 301 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: a little bit more consistent, um, But he has to 302 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: be as consistent as consistent can be throughout the second 303 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: half of the year for them to even have a 304 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: shot and making the playoffs. I mean, let's be honest, 305 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: the team has to go seven and one. That's that's 306 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: the bottom line. You have to set your mind on. 307 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: You have to win every game just you know, to 308 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: to have a chance to make it into the playoffs. 309 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: And and you may get lucky at nine and seven, 310 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: but right now your mindset has to be you gotta 311 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: run seven out of eight, you just do. You don't 312 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: have any room for air here because of the way 313 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 1: the first half win, which is possible. I've been on 314 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: teams that have been able to do that one nine 315 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 1: out of ten or seven out of nine or whatever 316 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: it may be, and this team certainly has that opportunity, um, 317 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: but they have to capitalize on that. That starts at 318 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 1: a quarterback position. Secondly, I would say that although the 319 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: offensive line has shown, uh some good play and I 320 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: know they're dealing with a lot of different challenges, rotating guys, 321 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: in dealing with injuries and things. That's where it starts. Uh. 322 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: After the quarterback would be just offensive line gaining consistency, 323 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: eliminating those penalties when you have big games, those types 324 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: of things, and just providing a little bit more consistency upfront, 325 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: especially in the passing game, which is difficult because the 326 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 1: coach Gaily likes to use those spread UH formations and 327 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: that provides more one on one opportunities for defensive alignment 328 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: against offensive alignment. But if the offensive line can ain't 329 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: a little bit more consistency in the quarterback plays solidly 330 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: consistent winning football, Jets certainly have a chance to go 331 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: seven and one in the back half of the season. 332 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: On the defensive side of the ball, who do the 333 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: Jets need? Like you talked about the offensive side of 334 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: the ball, and you said it fits has to be 335 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: more consistent. You get more consistent play of the offensive line, 336 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: which uh, the one encouraging aspect of the line um 337 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: and you said it is that the depth has been 338 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: tested and guys have stepped up at times. Wesley Johnson 339 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: played really well at the center position, I've been really 340 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: encouraged by the guard play throughout a lot of season, 341 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: especially Brian Winners, who I think is breaking out. But 342 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, I don't want 343 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: to ignore the defense. So is there a positional group 344 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: or player that you're gonna put the hat on and say, okay, 345 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: we need you to make strides for the Jets in 346 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: the second half. Yeah, absolutely, I think it's the secondary. 347 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: I think the secondary has to to make sure that 348 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: they eliminate the miscommunication, eliminate the busted coverages. If they 349 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: do that, uh, then that really completes the defense. Uh, 350 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: to make you know, as far as an opponent trying 351 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: to attack him, because that's what opponents are gonna do. 352 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: They're gonna say, look, we're not gonna be able to 353 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: run the vault ball very much. We need to throw 354 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: up forty five times a game. Well, as of the secondary, 355 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: you're gonna be challenged, You're gonna be tested. I think 356 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 1: teams are are no longer completely scared scared of the 357 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: rail reevers. They want to go after him and they 358 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: want him to prove that he can shut down one 359 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: side and and so as a team, Uh, defensively, the 360 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: coverage has to be more consistent. My one suggestion then 361 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: covers me more consistent is and I know that coach 362 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: bowls those Rodgers. They love the matchup coverages and the 363 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: main coverages. I'm not so sure sometimes that the defense 364 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: plays more spot zone coverages and kind of develops that 365 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: bend but don't break mentality sometimes and to be able 366 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: to eliminate some of these big plays, we turned some 367 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: of these touchdowns just in the field goals. I think 368 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: that would be important, which is a little bit of 369 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: a shift, uh and in thought process and scheme, But 370 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: at the same time that may have to be implemented 371 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: just to kind of shut down some of those big 372 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: play opportunities and to eliminate this point. Yeah, and I 373 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: have to say this too. I know Buster has had 374 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,719 Speaker 1: some ups and downs this season, but he is a 375 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: very valuable part of the secondary and when he's out 376 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: of the lineup, guys versatile. He's playing outside at corner 377 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 1: and base, he moves inside in nicol when he's not 378 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: in the lineup. That's a tough blow. And that's also 379 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: a former Cleveland Brown. That dude wanted to be on 380 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: the field, Chad, So not having him in the lineup 381 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: after a bounce back game against the Baltimore Ravens. He 382 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: said he had to come back after being called for 383 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: a number of penalties against Arizona Cardinals, and he he 384 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: really wanted to be in that ballgame. So I think 385 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: it would be a shot and harm with the Jets 386 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: get Buster back because he plays with the passion and 387 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 1: he also gives his team some versatility as well. And 388 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: I know the defensive backfield has said some issues this year, 389 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 1: while documented issues and we all know that, but Buster 390 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 1: Screen is one of their better players back there, and 391 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: I think when he's not in the lineup, you can 392 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: see it well. And and these issues we're talking about 393 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: aren't issues that can't be fit. These are issues that 394 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: on complete control of the defense and the defensive players, 395 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: and they can fix these issues, which should make them 396 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: really excited about the second half of the season. They 397 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: continue to clean up the mistakes and clean up some 398 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: of the miscommunication um and then you know, with the 399 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: defensive line coming to the forefront providing a heavier pass 400 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 1: rush with just four rushers, that really creates a lot 401 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 1: of issues for offense. And just be as versatile as 402 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: you can and just play winning complementary football. I mean, 403 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: that's that's what it's about. Defense. Struggling offense has got 404 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: to pick it up. Offense, struggling defense got to make 405 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: the play. Special team has got to provide a spark 406 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: when you get a team that understands that and provides 407 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 1: that sense of urgency and all three phases depending on 408 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: how the game goes, because the game is not going 409 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: to go the way you wanted to all the time, 410 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: and there's gonna be challenges. They're going to be adversity 411 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: in every game. It's how your team responds and how 412 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: each side and each packet of the team helps provide 413 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 1: that spark and that energy is really important and sometimes 414 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: the ball starts finding you. What an encouraging sign it 415 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: is for the defense is the last two weeks they 416 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: have combined for four interceptions. Now entering week seven they 417 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: had two interceptions. So now you're starting to see that 418 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: a little bit. If that can continue, there's the complimentary 419 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: football you're talking about. So let's move on to our 420 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: next segment on the A podcast with you have Pennyton 421 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: talking country. This is a new uh feature that we're 422 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: gonna do each and every week. But yet uh okay, 423 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 1: right now. One of the most popular country artists out 424 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: there is Sam Hunt. Now, Chad, let's play a little trivia. 425 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 1: Did you know Sam Hunt played quarterback at Middle Tennessee State? 426 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: And you may be sure? Did I knew he was 427 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 1: a football player? I didn't know that, Yes, I did? Okay, 428 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: So what kind of football player was Sam High? Give 429 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: us the scouting report? Report? And what I don't have. 430 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: I don't have a very good scouting report, probably none 431 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: of his ship because that's why I'm saying country. Oh, 432 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: that's great stuff. Have you heard him talk about his 433 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: football career at all? Not very much. But I'm not 434 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: used a talent singer, um and so, and I'm a 435 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: country music fan. So yeah, I did hear about his 436 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: football expedition, so to speak. Uh, did Chad Pennington ever 437 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: think about having a country singing career? Well, there's all 438 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: signship thoughts. They go run through your head and in 439 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: reality the stokes and you realize that there's no shot. 440 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: So when you can't carry a tune in the bucket, 441 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: and then you just have no shot at that all right? 442 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: And then finally here leave the night on or break 443 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: up in a small town your preference on a favorite 444 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: Sam Hunt song. Yeah, you know, I would say break 445 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: up in the small Town. But you know it's he's 446 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: getting a little too pomplished for me when it when 447 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: it comes to country music. He's got to tone it down, 448 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: had a little bit of steel guitar and get a 449 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: little bit more countryside. It would be what I would say, Okay, 450 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: I love that. Okay, So we're gonna come back to 451 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: the country. Maybe some old school hardcore country next week. Finally, 452 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: our final segment, Keys to Victory, give me three keys 453 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: for the New York Jets as they go down to 454 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 1: play the Miami Dolphins as your two former teams battle 455 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: and the Jets defense is going to get to know 456 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: a man by the name of J. G. I. E. 457 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: This weekend. Absolutely three keys. Number one is is so obvious. 458 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 1: The run game for the defense. Uh, You've got a 459 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: Dolphins team and a Dolphin runners has come off two 460 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: back to back two hundred yard games, which is really 461 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: really impressive. And you can see how that's made uh, 462 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: their wins so much smoother and and provided more production 463 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position when you can rush for two 464 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: hundred yards and makes a little bit easier. So the 465 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: run game not allowing the Dolphins to establish UH, their mindset, 466 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: their attitude, and their will on you. With the run game. 467 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two eliminating the big play defensively UH, 468 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 1: and number three offensively turnovers. UH stay away from turnovers. 469 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 1: The Jets will win the game. They stay away from 470 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: turnovers because then they will win the time of possession. 471 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: And I'm looking for them to have more red known 472 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: production moving forward into this second half. But run game, 473 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: defensively being played defensively, and turnovers offensively, those three keys 474 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: will be the key to victors of the Jets, and 475 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: that would be something that would be a three game 476 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: winning streak and then all of a sudden, the Jets 477 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 1: would be four and five and all by the way 478 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: the Jets last season, we're left for Dad at five 479 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: and five, and they would have an opportunity to get 480 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: to five and five with the win over the L A. Rams. 481 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: But you can't take anything for granted. The National Football League. 482 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure the Miami Dolphins are looking at the Jets 483 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: as this is a game that they have to have 484 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: and they should have as well. So it's gonna be 485 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: fascinating to see these two old a s c's rivals, 486 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: Chad Pennyton's former teams go at it in South Florida. Chad, 487 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: we look forward to speaking to the next week again. 488 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: Thank you.
