Speaker 1: Forty yard field goal attempt from the left hash out
Speaker 1: of the hold of quickly to give the Jets to lead.
Speaker 1: The placement is good, the kick is on the way,
Speaker 1: the tech has good well, it knocks it through and
Speaker 1: the Jets half the lead with thirty six seconds to go.
Speaker 1: Live from Callendra's Italian Village and called Will New Jersey
Speaker 1: eques Inside the Jets on ninety eight point seven ESPN.
Speaker 1: Heure's Larry Hardisty and Eric Gallant. Good evening everybody, and
Speaker 1: we welcome you to Collandral's Italian Village here and called
Speaker 1: Wild New Jersey. It is another edition of Inside the Jets.
Speaker 1: Larry Harsted alongside my tag team part there, Eric Gallen
Speaker 1: and Eric a trip to Dallas. Jets were successful. Interesting
Speaker 1: first half, very interesting second half, unbelievable fourth quarter, gutty gritty,
Speaker 1: a lot of resolve. This team cantinues to show a
Speaker 1: lot of character. That's four consecutive wins. They had to
Speaker 1: get hot after leaving Houston a five and five ball club,
Speaker 1: and they have done just that, and they find different
Speaker 1: ways to win each and every week. Dallas is a
Speaker 1: talented ball club and they gave the Jets all they
Speaker 1: could handle. But when it was winning time and there
Speaker 1: was plays to be made, the Jets made the plays
Speaker 1: down the stretch, and when Dallas tied it up, Larry
Speaker 1: Bailey hits the field goal uses the upright banks one
Speaker 1: off the top right. I know a lot of people
Speaker 1: in the past would have thought, well, this might not
Speaker 1: be our night, but Ryan Fitzpatrick's got three time outs
Speaker 1: left two minutes to go. Any they get down the field,
Speaker 1: and each and every week we're seeing a different guy
Speaker 1: step up. This week, kenbral Tompkins, who would have thought
Speaker 1: Kenbrall Tompkins makes a huge catch down the stretch, sets
Speaker 1: Randy Bullock up for a field goal, and bull like
Speaker 1: filling in for Nick Folk ms the extra point in
Speaker 1: that game. Mr field goal in that game, But when
Speaker 1: he was called on in the fourth quarter to kick
Speaker 1: this team to victory, he was good from forty yards out.
Speaker 1: Gutty victory and the Jets gotta feel good about themselves
Speaker 1: right now. Can't celebrate too much though. The New England
Speaker 1: Patriots are coming to town this week and the Jets
Speaker 1: will continue to stay in this win now, must win mode. Eric,
Speaker 1: we talked about Tompkins, and that really talks about the
Speaker 1: depth on this team, and we've talked about it all
Speaker 1: season long. You talk about next man up, and that's
Speaker 1: the way it's been on this team. But every time
Speaker 1: there's an injury, the person that's come up has been
Speaker 1: able to do something in the spot. And it talks
Speaker 1: about the death and that goes back to Mike mccagnet
Speaker 1: and Todd Bowles and the scouting staff everybody looking to
Speaker 1: see what pieces you can fit under the salary cap
Speaker 1: to make sure you have depth on your team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and when we were talking last week, hey Devin Smith's out,
Speaker 1: Now who's gonna be the guy? And I'll tell you what,
Speaker 1: not only the Tompkins make that big catch down the stretch,
Speaker 1: but Quincy and noon On himself a ball game, four
Speaker 1: catches and all the one was huge for the Jets.
Speaker 1: The third down conversion that's set this team up late
Speaker 1: for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. And Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: continues to really impress me because when those ends are
Speaker 1: closing in, he always finds a little bit of room,
Speaker 1: Larry where he steps up and he'll make a play.
Speaker 1: Great pocket presents. How many times have we said this
Speaker 1: throughout the year, that fits really knows, he sees the
Speaker 1: field really well. He knows what the defense is trying
Speaker 1: to do, how they're attacking him, and he knows where
Speaker 1: their weaknesses are. And I really love what he's doing
Speaker 1: in the pocket, and he's showing a lot of character
Speaker 1: in this whole team is right now. Eric, Once again
Speaker 1: that we seem it seems like a recurring theme that
Speaker 1: we have over and over and over again each week.
Speaker 1: It is the tag team wide receivers. Once again, it's
Speaker 1: Eric Decker, it's Brandon Marshall that's making big plays. And
Speaker 1: but before I get to them, I want to go
Speaker 1: back and follow up on what you were talking about
Speaker 1: with Ryan Fitzpatrick. And I'm very happy for him because
Speaker 1: you heard all the critics about him early. He can't
Speaker 1: throw long, he can't do this, he can't do that.
Speaker 1: Only does his win, Only does his make to play
Speaker 1: if if, if whatever the defense gives him he takes.
Speaker 1: If he's got to run seven or eight yards, he
Speaker 1: runs seven or eight yards, you've got to get his
Speaker 1: nose busted up. It's okay. It's about keeping the chains
Speaker 1: going and keeping the line moving and getting points on
Speaker 1: the board. So when the Jets traded for him in March.
Speaker 1: People on the outside said he was thirty two at
Speaker 1: the time. This is he's entering his eleventh season with
Speaker 1: his sixth team. This is a journeyman quarterback who's gonna
Speaker 1: be the Jets back up and we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: Geno Smith's gonna take over this team and we'll see
Speaker 1: how the Jets do in their first year here. But
Speaker 1: not only as Fitzpatrick come in and started for this team,
Speaker 1: he has led them he is playing better football than
Speaker 1: he ever has at any point in his career. He
Speaker 1: nots this that the system he's working really well with
Speaker 1: Shane Gailey, Chris Ivory who was in the building tonight,
Speaker 1: Andorell Reeves who was also here. As this is a
Speaker 1: tremendous crowd um. Ivory has given the Jets a great
Speaker 1: rush attack for the past couple of seasons along with
Speaker 1: But the Jets before fitz was here struggled in to
Speaker 1: find a consistent passing game. And you mentioned Marshall and Decker.
Speaker 1: Now you got those guys on the outside and Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: is closing in at four thousand yards, four thousand yards,
Speaker 1: the Jets could have a four thousand yard passer Ivory,
Speaker 1: who's here tonight, is forty nine yards shy of his
Speaker 1: first a thousand yard rushing season. Eric Decker is closing
Speaker 1: in a thousand. Marshals already passed that. So two thousand
Speaker 1: yard receivers, a thousand yard runner, and a four thousand
Speaker 1: yard passer. And Fitzpatrick. You know, I think people slept
Speaker 1: on him because they looked at what he did earlier
Speaker 1: in his career with teams who did not have the
Speaker 1: personnel that the Jets have offensively, and he's flourished with
Speaker 1: this system because you know, he loves playing with Jane Gaily. Uh,
Speaker 1: and those guys work really well together. But this is
Speaker 1: the best personnel that's ever been around Ryan Fitzpatrick. And
Speaker 1: bottom line is he is a good quarterback. We talked
Speaker 1: about it last week. He's a good quarterback period, No
Speaker 1: ifs ands, buts whatever. Ryan Fitzpatrick is a guy. Right now,
Speaker 1: let's talk about defense, art, because the defense played well
Speaker 1: down in Dallas as well. More turnovers, more interceptions, pressure
Speaker 1: on the quarterback. Uh, we're able in earlier parts of
Speaker 1: the game to get off the field on third down.
Speaker 1: They played very well while the offense was trying to
Speaker 1: find its way against a very small but quick Dallas defense.
Speaker 1: The Jet defense was holding it close so the offense
Speaker 1: would have a chance to come back and win it.
Speaker 1: Four interceptions in all reevs with his seven takeaway on
Speaker 1: the season. I can't wait to talk to him about
Speaker 1: that one because that was a crazy play. Matt Castle
Speaker 1: didn't really have a plan on that one. Kind of
Speaker 1: threw that one up and Reeve made a great athletic play.
Speaker 1: Calvin Pryor continues to impress great reed in the end zone.
Speaker 1: He takes points off the board there. And Marcus Gilchris,
Speaker 1: an unheralded signing and free agencies, played really well for
Speaker 1: this team. Back there. He came up with an interception.
Speaker 1: Then he also set Marcus Williams up with the interception ladies,
Speaker 1: he deflected the ball. But all in all, that secondary
Speaker 1: played really well and they took advantage of a team
Speaker 1: we knew going in who struggled to throw the football. Now,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had success running at times what I thought.
Speaker 1: Damon Snaxt Harrison was tremendous Saturday night in the middle
Speaker 1: and also moving around. I saw him dropping coverage at times.
Speaker 1: Damon Harrison is having a great season and the Jets
Speaker 1: had to play most of this ball game without their
Speaker 1: heart and soul, David Harris, you know, so that means
Speaker 1: and Henderson had to be relied on more to Mario
Speaker 1: Davis and others in and the Jets were able to
Speaker 1: push through. Everybody deals with injuries at this point of
Speaker 1: the season. But nice job defensively, because bottom line, it's
Speaker 1: a point scoring league and anytime you give up sixteen,
Speaker 1: got a good chance to win. That's enough for Fits
Speaker 1: and company right now. The way this offense is going,
Speaker 1: it's it's an offense, and it's the confidence that you
Speaker 1: see in the players. Eric and we talked to them
Speaker 1: all the time, but there's a confidence that they have
Speaker 1: on the field. They don't think that they're out of
Speaker 1: any game. They're confident that whatever happens, they can bounce
Speaker 1: back from it. And I think that starts with Todd.
Speaker 1: Todd bows and you know, listen, he started out with
Speaker 1: a tough situation, you know, with with the General Smith
Speaker 1: situation other things. But he you can see where his
Speaker 1: influences has govnized this team. And you can see that
Speaker 1: they are no nonsense team. They're confident team, their discipline team,
Speaker 1: and this is what's gotten them in in situations when
Speaker 1: you know other teams may have crumbled. This is what
Speaker 1: this kept them strong. And don't it even killed. And
Speaker 1: the funny thing the other night is the Jets struggle
Speaker 1: with penalties in the first half, but in the second
Speaker 1: half they corrected that. They only had one penalty down
Speaker 1: the stretch and they did some things that were uncharacteristic.
Speaker 1: Third down had some problems, but again you gotta give
Speaker 1: the Cowboys some credit there. And the Jets red zone
Speaker 1: efficiency wasn't there where it has been in the past,
Speaker 1: but they overcame a couple of these things. And like
Speaker 1: I said, mcfan went for over a hundred yards. But
Speaker 1: like you're mentioning, if that's a sign of a ball
Speaker 1: a good ball team who's coming together, is that Yes,
Speaker 1: not everything went their way Saturday night, but they still
Speaker 1: found a way. And now that sets up a huge
Speaker 1: ball game Sunday and might MetLife Stadium fan appreciation day
Speaker 1: for the Jets. The rally tails are gonna be out,
Speaker 1: the white rally towels are towels are gonna be out. Uh,
Speaker 1: the place is gonna be packed. We want everybody in
Speaker 1: their seats early. Now it let's be clear about this.
Speaker 1: It's not a big game because it's the Patriots. It's
Speaker 1: a big game because it's the next game and the
Speaker 1: Jets have to win right now. Man, I expect MetLife
Speaker 1: Stadium to be jumping. It's gonna be a fun atmosphere.
Speaker 1: The Patriots have a ton to play for themselves, you know.
Speaker 1: They want that uh the f C to go through
Speaker 1: Gillette Stadium. They want to lock up that number one seed,
Speaker 1: so they'll be ready to play. And we'll talk to
Speaker 1: Reeve about that mindset of the Patriots because he knows
Speaker 1: about it more than anybody. But uh, yeah, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be an interesting game because remember the Jets earlier on
Speaker 1: the season played toe to toe with the Patriots, lost
Speaker 1: the thirty to twenty three decision up there, and just
Speaker 1: a couple of things the Patriots did meant victory for
Speaker 1: them and a loss for the Jets. And then from
Speaker 1: there the Jets kind of lost their way a little bit.
Speaker 1: But they have regained their footing. Let's see how much
Speaker 1: they've grown this weekend at a crazy met stating. Here's
Speaker 1: the word from selective insurance or solution for auto, home

Speaker 1: and welcome back to Collendo's Italian village. Here in Caldwell,
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Joined the New York Jets and the Institute
Speaker 1: of Color of Every Education for season three of the Jets.
Speaker 1: Cooking School was presented by Chase. For more information, visit
Speaker 1: I see dot E d U slash Jets. All right,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of flash up here right now. That
Speaker 1: must mean Revus has joined us. Larry Darrell, thanks so
Speaker 1: much for being here tonight. Uh, we just heard the call,
Speaker 1: Bob was Shusen has the play by play of your
Speaker 1: fourth interception of the season, your seventh takeaway. That was
Speaker 1: one of the craziest plays I can remember. What was
Speaker 1: it from your vantage point? What did you see on that?
Speaker 1: And then ultimately you made a hell of an athletic
Speaker 1: playing the interception. You went up and got that. Uh
Speaker 1: you know, uh from the looks of the play, Um,
Speaker 1: they tried to run the screen play on the opposite
Speaker 1: side of the field and and uh, Buster's crime actually
Speaker 1: overplayed to play. He read the route the screen play
Speaker 1: and he jumped it and uh it looked like Matt
Speaker 1: Castle got uh yeah, I got got a little flustered
Speaker 1: because the past wasn't there. And then it I think
Speaker 1: he threw me a you know, he threw me a
Speaker 1: freebe interception because I think he tried to throw it
Speaker 1: out of bounce, but then I was come off. His
Speaker 1: hands were like it's coming to me. Uh. When he
Speaker 1: first when it first left his hands, I thought it
Speaker 1: was going over my head out of bounce. And then
Speaker 1: I looked and I was like, oh, it's it's right there.
Speaker 1: I can I can jump up and catch it. So
Speaker 1: it was one of those plays that it was a
Speaker 1: mistake on his part, but but a good athletic play
Speaker 1: by you. Like I said, takeaway number seven on the year,
Speaker 1: and a fascinating one Larry too, because intentional grounding was
Speaker 1: actually called that, yes, yeah, because I mean there wasn't
Speaker 1: receiving the area obviously was you Uh yeah, it was
Speaker 1: it was. It was you hit you perfectly. What is
Speaker 1: what take us through your week of preparation? You know,
Speaker 1: everybody when they talk about you and what you do
Speaker 1: and your preparation it's it's almost legendary around the NFL.
Speaker 1: This week you had uh, you know this Briant, who's
Speaker 1: a who's a phenomenal receiver. Whether he's coming off injury
Speaker 1: or not, you're still a very dangerous guy. What's that
Speaker 1: week of preparation like for you? Um, it's it's just
Speaker 1: all just uh you know, studying film man just uh
Speaker 1: you know, even when I'm at home, look over extra
Speaker 1: film uh and and try to just uh you know,
Speaker 1: study our opponents. That's that's basically it. Um my breakdown
Speaker 1: formations now. Uh. Then I go into the right receiver
Speaker 1: ppacifically who I'm watching, Um, I'll break him down, um
Speaker 1: and then go from there. By the end of the week,
Speaker 1: I have them all figured out. Yeah, but it's more
Speaker 1: so when you look at the formations. It's more so
Speaker 1: looking at uh you know, what is the offensive coordinator
Speaker 1: trying to accomplish. Who are the key guys you know
Speaker 1: on their team that they're trying to get the ball too,
Speaker 1: how many targets are trying to get And we go
Speaker 1: from there, and then you go to the matchup or
Speaker 1: whoever I have that week. If I'm matching up and
Speaker 1: I just break the receiver down as much as I
Speaker 1: can and Tennessee wise and trying to you know, figure
Speaker 1: him out as much as I can. So you did
Speaker 1: a lot of radio spots today, and I know you
Speaker 1: were asked about Josh Mormon, Josh Norman, and Oldell Back
Speaker 1: numerous times. I'm not even gonna ask you about that.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you about your matchup with Do Briant
Speaker 1: because what's interesting is I want to know your approach
Speaker 1: to talking on the field because with Dees it always
Speaker 1: seems like it's kind of a more emotional matchup. Are
Speaker 1: you more of a guy who says, hey, if you
Speaker 1: want to age, I'll talk a little bit more because
Speaker 1: that so I always seem to have it a little bit.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah. Going back to uh nine eleven and two
Speaker 1: in two thousand eleven, Um, you know, we played against
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys and uh, um it was a memorable night,
Speaker 1: not just because we you know, the Jets we played Dallas, uh,
Speaker 1: but just because of nine eleven and UM. You know
Speaker 1: it's saying storical, historical moment you know for New York
Speaker 1: and New Jersey as well. But you know it was
Speaker 1: a very emotional game that night. Um, and everybody. You know,
Speaker 1: the stadium was lectrifying, and uh, we definitely wanted to
Speaker 1: get that win, you know, for New York and New
Speaker 1: Jersey and um, you know, we definitely did. But I
Speaker 1: knew coming into that game. That was my first matchup
Speaker 1: against as Brian. You know, you hear all these stories
Speaker 1: that UM, you know, he wears his heart on his sleeve. UM,
Speaker 1: he's a very uh, his attitude is very forward, He's
Speaker 1: very aggressive in his demeanor and UM, actually I wasn't
Speaker 1: as signed on him yet. I was. I was covering
Speaker 1: Miles Austin during that week and then I had to
Speaker 1: switch on Das Bryant, uh and we had to make
Speaker 1: adjustment of the game and I covered him. So that
Speaker 1: was my first encountering with him. So I knew the
Speaker 1: second time around, Uh, I knew the freight train was coming.
Speaker 1: I knew the freight train Das Bryant was coming, and
Speaker 1: I knew, uh he was gonna be you know, uh
Speaker 1: amped up for this game. I definitely knew it. So
Speaker 1: I had to definitely, uh, you know, meet you know,
Speaker 1: his uh. I had to meet uh you know, his uh,
Speaker 1: his his attitude and what he brought to the game.
Speaker 1: Level of competition. How much of a competitor are you.
Speaker 1: Chris Carlin was talking about you this morning after you
Speaker 1: did the ntview with Mike and Michael on our station,
Speaker 1: the seven ESPN, and he said, here's what you don't
Speaker 1: know about the roller Beavers. He's very quiet, nice guy,
Speaker 1: but on the field, he's an assassin. Don't mess with him,
Speaker 1: don't get him started, because once you get him vocally going,
Speaker 1: he will shut you down and then that amps him
Speaker 1: up even more. You were false, true. True. I'm not
Speaker 1: a trash talker. I go out there and just try
Speaker 1: to do my job and and um, I don't initiate it.
Speaker 1: If it if it comes to me, then I'll start barking.
Speaker 1: But I just try to folk. I feel like it's
Speaker 1: too much energy wasting, Like you waste too much energy
Speaker 1: jarring back and forth. Um it, it's definitely respect, mutual
Speaker 1: respect on on both sides. But then, um there's some
Speaker 1: crazy things that be said out there on the field.
Speaker 1: So I don't think you're just gonna let anybody say anything,
Speaker 1: uh you know, about you or to you, especially because
Speaker 1: the magnitude of the game and it's a lot of
Speaker 1: emotions involved, and that's what happened with the Josh Norman
Speaker 1: and um Odell Beckham situation? Yeah, yesterday. Do you like
Speaker 1: where this team is at? You think it's rounding in
Speaker 1: the form you won a championship last season. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: this Jets team seems like it's peaking and also finding
Speaker 1: ways to win, finding different ways each and every week.
Speaker 1: And that's gotta go a long way. Oh yeah, definitely
Speaker 1: it does. Um, we we have the right pieces. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, this is coach Bowl's first year. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: so it's it's is fairly new. Uh and I'm sure
Speaker 1: it's new um to to the Jet fans as well
Speaker 1: of us is uh, you know, coming out and having
Speaker 1: a successful year. So um, we we definitely got the pieces.
Speaker 1: We got the coaching staff, Um, we got the players
Speaker 1: to do it. So. Um, you know, this year has
Speaker 1: been awesome. It's it's been up and down, but I
Speaker 1: think this is what build great great teams, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: fighting fighting against adversity all the time. I mean we're
Speaker 1: in four gaming in the streak and we could continue
Speaker 1: to control our destiny throughout the year. That's the voice
Speaker 1: of the Roe Rivas. Larry Harvesty and Eric Allen inside
Speaker 1: the Jets live a calandency on nine the eights of ESPN.
Speaker 1: You know what it takes to win. You're here the
Speaker 1: first time you guys won had as Earth mentioned championship
Speaker 1: last year. There's a certain chemistry. Yes, there's a certain camaraderie.
Speaker 1: There's uh uh hold the rope tighter with my brother's attitude,
Speaker 1: you find that here? Is that? Um? Yeah? Um, I
Speaker 1: think we got a close group of guys, um. Uh.
Speaker 1: And we have a lot of veteran guys. I think
Speaker 1: that's why. And the younger guys are responding very well,
Speaker 1: uh to how we approach uh you know each week. Um.
Speaker 1: And and that's it. I mean, we got a lot
Speaker 1: of leaders on the team and the guys follow. But
Speaker 1: at the same time, UM, you know, if we can
Speaker 1: go sixteen and know anybody would take that, um you
Speaker 1: know uh sometimes you know, it takes a while for
Speaker 1: for a team to jail, you know. Um. And that's
Speaker 1: what we've been doing. We've been jelling. Um. Like I said,
Speaker 1: it's been up and down season, but around November and December,
Speaker 1: this is when you want to play your your best football.
Speaker 1: And um, we're starting to to play our best football
Speaker 1: and be consistent on the week to week basis thrill.
Speaker 1: What's young guy back there in the second area's real
Speaker 1: impressed you this season? Um, I'll say, Uh, Marcus Marcus Williams, Yeah,
Speaker 1: a K A double M. We call him. Uh, he's he's. Uh.
Speaker 1: When I first got here, when I first signed back,
Speaker 1: I thought Marcus was just the way he handles itself. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's he's a pro. Um, he's demeanor, the way he
Speaker 1: handed the stuff, you would think he's played five or
Speaker 1: six years in the league. And that's when I thought
Speaker 1: when I first got here, Um, just how he approaches
Speaker 1: the game. And UM, you know then you you know,
Speaker 1: you introduced yourself and you they introduced themselves and he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm only in my second year and I'm like, oh wow,
Speaker 1: Like Scott, Scott's a limit for you, brother, Like you
Speaker 1: are a pretty good and UM, you know you see
Speaker 1: that out in the field with Marcus. Um, he's not
Speaker 1: he's not one of our starters. But UM, if if
Speaker 1: we need to make adjustments for him to start or
Speaker 1: to put him in certain packages on our defense, UH,
Speaker 1: he's definitely probably the first guy that we would throw
Speaker 1: in to to make that happen. And he's got natural
Speaker 1: ball skills this year. Yeah, he's leading us and picks
Speaker 1: so that's that's his game. Speaks for herself. He's he's
Speaker 1: doing it all right. Or you can give us a
Speaker 1: unique perspective because you were up there last year and
Speaker 1: you've got New England and the Jets this week. Um,
Speaker 1: the one thing you said about Bill Belichick, he doesn't change,
Speaker 1: you know what he's bringing to the table there. There's
Speaker 1: there's a focus. He's going to try to take your
Speaker 1: best thing away. That's what he does. Uh. But what
Speaker 1: how do they view the Jets in doing Oh man,
Speaker 1: it's like that's a that's a tough one. The same
Speaker 1: way as we view them, which is uh is you know,
Speaker 1: it's you know, the two organizations don't don't really like
Speaker 1: each other there and m on their side, it's the
Speaker 1: same on our side, it's it's probably probably it's the same.
Speaker 1: It's going to continue to probably be that way just
Speaker 1: because of the past history that the two organizations had
Speaker 1: with each other. And and and that's what makes it fun.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's no different than uh, your high
Speaker 1: school rivalry or your college rivalry or you know, your
Speaker 1: NFL robbery it's it's it's a robbery that we have.
Speaker 1: Um and uh, you know this week we got them
Speaker 1: and we're we're excited. We'll site as a team. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, we felt like the first game we played
Speaker 1: them earlier this year that we let me slip away.
Speaker 1: We were one of two plays away of winning that game. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I think that's that helped us grow to as
Speaker 1: a team, um early in the season. So um, that's
Speaker 1: that's that's how we feel. It's gonna be fun. So
Speaker 1: the Patriots are your West Virginia Mountaineers. If yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: when I was at pitch yea Pitt, West Virginia, Pitt
Speaker 1: pen State. Yes, what's it? What's it like? Uh, you
Speaker 1: gotta go on the phone booth every week and you
Speaker 1: gotta put on the superman guys do because folks, when
Speaker 1: they look at you and God forbid you ever give
Speaker 1: up a pass, people are gonna ask, hey, what's wrong
Speaker 1: with Darrell? Is that something that you will have embraced
Speaker 1: throughout your NFL career being the guy that everybody depends
Speaker 1: on out there on that island. Um, Eric is it's
Speaker 1: just um, you know, given the opportunity of going out
Speaker 1: there and to do what I what I'm able to do. Um.
Speaker 1: And these are these are coaches who saw the talent
Speaker 1: in me, uh going out there and I canna be
Speaker 1: a shutdown corner. They gave me that opportunity to do it,
Speaker 1: the platform to do it. Um. You know, at that point,
Speaker 1: it's it's all just you know, you're being competitive and
Speaker 1: and and now wanting to give up a catch here
Speaker 1: and there, and UM, I think that's where just the
Speaker 1: passion comes in, you know about playing the position. Um.
Speaker 1: I mean you look at some of the greats, uh,
Speaker 1: Dion Sanders, the dal Greens, the Champ Bailey's, the Charles Wilson's,
Speaker 1: the guys that I've I studied, UM when I was
Speaker 1: a team. Um, you want to mimic them, you want
Speaker 1: to be like them. I mean, you know you hear
Speaker 1: about Dion Senators. Uh he's shutting the guy down for
Speaker 1: for one catch in one game, and you're like, wow,
Speaker 1: that's amazing, Like he just traded demolished him the whole game. Uh.
Speaker 1: So it's just it's something within you that you have
Speaker 1: to step up and um, you know, be very competitive,
Speaker 1: but be also passionate about what you're trying to do. Um,
Speaker 1: when you're out there Christmas shopping done. No, I'm not
Speaker 1: done Christmas shopping. I'm a last minute I'm a last

Speaker 1: know Durrell played drums. I think we gotta do something
Speaker 1: with that. How long have you been playing drums? For? Oh? Man?

Speaker 1: I know you had a lot of folks there and
Speaker 1: you you guys were able to pull that game out
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Oh it felt good man, you know,
Speaker 1: just to go go back to Texas and get a win.
Speaker 1: And um, you know, I had a lot of family
Speaker 1: come out that that has never seen me play and
Speaker 1: uh that you know, Um, you know that was the
Speaker 1: first time I seen me play, first time to a
Speaker 1: professional football game. So uh, it was, it was. It
Speaker 1: was a good one. So ja so how much? How?
Speaker 1: First of all, here's an important thing. I want to
Speaker 1: know how many tickets? How many people are upset with
Speaker 1: you right now because they didn't get seats? Um? And
Speaker 1: what are you gonna have to do to make that
Speaker 1: up for the holidays? Were there were twenty tickets and
Speaker 1: no one was upset? And um, no gifts? You know
Speaker 1: that was that was their gifts. Chris, You're have already
Speaker 1: reached career highs in terms of rushing yards You're ninety
Speaker 1: one career highs and attempts and also receptions. How much
Speaker 1: are you enjoying playing in this offense because we talked
Speaker 1: about it for a number of years. You always knew
Speaker 1: you could catch the football, but now you're getting those opportunities.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I heard you, but it just went over
Speaker 1: my head. How much you enjoying playing in this offense
Speaker 1: getting those receiving opportunities. You're a career high right now
Speaker 1: with your receptions. I'm enjoying it, man. Just just being
Speaker 1: able to go out and just prove. And so you
Speaker 1: know the people that you know don't see us practice
Speaker 1: every day or yeah, just the people that don't see
Speaker 1: this practice every day, just saw them. You know that,
Speaker 1: Chris care You know I have the hands. I've um
Speaker 1: developed better hands do it during this offseason. But um,
Speaker 1: you know my game is coming together and going forward,
Speaker 1: we're just looking to continue to be productive. Chris. It's
Speaker 1: gotta be a lot of fun for you to run
Speaker 1: the football the way you've run the football and to
Speaker 1: see we talk about receiving and to see how the
Speaker 1: receivers have blocked for you downfield, that how both of you,
Speaker 1: the whole team is working together to get that ball
Speaker 1: in advance of offensive book from yourpe from from you know,
Speaker 1: with the receivers helping you block while you're running on
Speaker 1: going down the field. I missed the question, man, how
Speaker 1: much fun is it for you to have these receivers
Speaker 1: support you and blocked for you as you go down
Speaker 1: the field. It's great, man, having those big body guys
Speaker 1: outside just leading away for me, it's great, man. And
Speaker 1: it's something you have receivers on the outside doing a
Speaker 1: good doing a job that they're doing. You know, it
Speaker 1: always allows for more explosive plays. Um momentum shifts um
Speaker 1: with the offense, and you know that that leads to wounds.
Speaker 1: Chris Water is a thousand yards? Mean? Yeah, it means
Speaker 1: a lot. Man. It'll be my first thousand in ya
Speaker 1: season if I could get that, uh these next few games. Uh,
Speaker 1: looking to get it this next game. But it means
Speaker 1: a lot of putting a lot of work and you know,
Speaker 1: just looking forward to show, you know, just eclipse of
Speaker 1: thousand yards. So I compire money says, first quarter. He
Speaker 1: takes care of this week. First quarter. First, I got
Speaker 1: first quarter um this year with Ryan Fitzpatrick here at
Speaker 1: the quarterback at this offense, well versed as passing the ball,
Speaker 1: how has the pass helped the run for you? Well,
Speaker 1: that's one of those things. You know, it's it's hand
Speaker 1: in hand. I think the run helps the pass, and
Speaker 1: the pass helps to gain um helps the run. But
Speaker 1: it's definitely helped because it takes takes guys out the box,
Speaker 1: leaves leaves me with a lighter box to work with.
Speaker 1: And um, you know, when guys are in the box,
Speaker 1: it gets the receivers. You know, they're one on one matchups,
Speaker 1: and you know, allowed him to make plays on the outside.
Speaker 1: So it's, uh, it's definitely big. What do you think
Speaker 1: the key is gonna be against this new England defense?
Speaker 1: You guys played them earlier this year and you gotta
Speaker 1: look thirty to twenty three loss and you were right
Speaker 1: in that ball game. But when you when you look
Speaker 1: ahead this Sunday, what do you think the keys will
Speaker 1: be against this defensive front? I think the key is um,
Speaker 1: mistake free football and be the team with the least
Speaker 1: at least turnovers. Usually a team with the least turn
Speaker 1: turnovers come out on top. And that's what we're looking
Speaker 1: to do. And um, other than that, man's just putting
Speaker 1: the work during this week and just be prepared. Chris
Speaker 1: Army is our guest. Larry Harsting and Eric Allen where
Speaker 1: at Colango's Italian village. It's inside the jets on seven ESPN. Chris,
Speaker 1: I think you enjoy auditioning now punishment to defenders as
Speaker 1: you're running with the hard running style you have. How
Speaker 1: did you get that style and how do you maintain
Speaker 1: your body so that you continue to do that and
Speaker 1: stay healthy? Well, I think it's a mentality. Man. Um,
Speaker 1: that's my mentality. That's my that's my game and that's
Speaker 1: the way I've been running for a long time. Started
Speaker 1: playing football third grade. Um, the coach told me if
Speaker 1: you let one guy bring you down, you're not running
Speaker 1: hard enough. So, um, you know it all, it all
Speaker 1: came together from from a child. But um, you know,
Speaker 1: just keeping my body together, I just continue to do
Speaker 1: my recovery program. I do acupuncture twice a week, massage
Speaker 1: twice a week. I see the card pract I do
Speaker 1: a lot. Man, it's a lot that goes into trying
Speaker 1: to keep this body healthy. But who were the guys
Speaker 1: you looked up to when you were growing up as
Speaker 1: first running back? Uh? One guy that really stuck out
Speaker 1: the most to me was Emma Smith. You know, growing
Speaker 1: up as a child, you from Texas close to Dallas. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, those guys were always always aired on TV,
Speaker 1: and that's one of the guys that I've seen the most.
Speaker 1: So Emma Smith, have you spoken to him and and
Speaker 1: did he have an influence on your running style? Because
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if he ran as hard
Speaker 1: as you did because he had holes that were like
Speaker 1: yeah why, So I don't know if he had to
Speaker 1: run as hard as you you've been running. No, I
Speaker 1: didn't get my style from them at all. Nothing from
Speaker 1: Emmin Smith came to me. But um, you know, everybody
Speaker 1: has their style and that's the style that worked for him,
Speaker 1: and this is the style that that's worked for me. Um,
Speaker 1: I think the style allowed me to make it as
Speaker 1: far as I've made it now, and so you know,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna continue with it and um, you know,
Speaker 1: in the future, just you know, just trying to continue
Speaker 1: to be productive and consistent. The holes aren't always there.
Speaker 1: How much do you have to create in your own
Speaker 1: sometimes because and I talked to you about this before,
Speaker 1: it's not And people do say you're a hard charging
Speaker 1: running back and you're violent runner, and you are, but
Speaker 1: the underrated parts of your running style I think are
Speaker 1: number one, you have great vision. Number two, you have
Speaker 1: tremendous speed. So how much do you have to create
Speaker 1: on your own? Be Sometimes the holes aren't there well
Speaker 1: in thistily sometimes you know that's what you have to do.
Speaker 1: You have to be able to create that. That's what
Speaker 1: separates UM the average back from from other backs. But
Speaker 1: creating is what a bag has to do. You know,
Speaker 1: every player is not gonna be blocked, blocked perfect you know,
Speaker 1: which you know a lot of people understand and I
Speaker 1: definitely understand that. But when it's not, when it's not blocked,
Speaker 1: you know, as it is on paper, and you have
Speaker 1: to go out and make something, make something happen to
Speaker 1: be a playmaker, and you gotta make that in a
Speaker 1: split second. You don't have a lot of time. I
Speaker 1: see you attacking a hole. Sometimes they're eight guys in
Speaker 1: a box and then you're like, oh, I got nothing here,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bounce. When if you're watching up in the
Speaker 1: press box, you're like, you don't have anything, but you
Speaker 1: find something, so you gotta make that's a quick decision,
Speaker 1: definitely a quick decision, or it's it's a lot that
Speaker 1: goes on the people don't see um you know that
Speaker 1: I may see or people on the field can see. Um,
Speaker 1: that's a lot of setting up blocks. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: bringing blocks to to to the lineman and just you know,
Speaker 1: just playing off that. But all in all, man, you
Speaker 1: just you know, I try to press the whole, be patient,
Speaker 1: allowed to develop when it's not there. I just try
Speaker 1: to create. And you do very well with yards afterwards
Speaker 1: after contact. You like dragging people along with you. Also
Speaker 1: just talk a little bit about how how important is
Speaker 1: for you to have extra yards after the catch, to
Speaker 1: keep on to expound where you're going. Well, any time
Speaker 1: you get any time I get the ball, like I said,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to let one man bring me down. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, in my head, I'm thinking, you know, get
Speaker 1: the first down or or test down, That's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 1: But um, you know, I'm just I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: be productive and and move the chain. You know, it's
Speaker 1: always good when you can moody change you know, first
Speaker 1: intent or or whatever it may be. But um, just
Speaker 1: being consistent and moving the change is always big for offense.
Speaker 1: How much if you enjoyed playing with Blap over the
Speaker 1: last couple of years back big time playmaker he comes
Speaker 1: in the game, you know his duty is you know,
Speaker 1: he usually catches a lot of passes. You know, he
Speaker 1: comes in the game, catches his past and you know,
Speaker 1: from there he's he's making all kind of movies, making
Speaker 1: guys miss and getting up the field. You know, very
Speaker 1: explosive player. Chris. How has this offense grown from the
Speaker 1: beginning of the season? So how has this offense grown? How?
Speaker 1: How how good is his execution wise from the beginning
Speaker 1: of the season up till now? Um, you know, let's
Speaker 1: come with Tom. I think we've mastered or I think
Speaker 1: we've got comfortable with um the few players that we
Speaker 1: run and you know, just being comfortable, guys are able
Speaker 1: to go out and just execute and just make plays.
Speaker 1: And I think when you know, as a team or
Speaker 1: as an individual player, when you're comfortable with a certain play,
Speaker 1: I think you're you're you're you're more productive because you're
Speaker 1: able to just go out and you know, just make
Speaker 1: something happen because you you know, you just know what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Yeah, it seems would you say chan Gailey
Speaker 1: went back to basics because he said last week that
Speaker 1: maybe I was trying to do too much with the
Speaker 1: playbook at a certain point and he said, hey, we're
Speaker 1: gonna scale back a little bit and do what we
Speaker 1: do well good chan with with the offensive playbook during
Speaker 1: this win streight. Do you think you scaled it back
Speaker 1: a little bit? Oh, he definitely scared scared it back
Speaker 1: a little bit. Um, you know, he did take it
Speaker 1: back to the basics. He took it back to what
Speaker 1: we were comfortable with and what what what we were
Speaker 1: more productive with. And you know, right now we're just
Speaker 1: moving forward with that and you know, just moving on
Speaker 1: to you know, each game with with that same plan,
Speaker 1: and it's more of a mentality as um, you know,
Speaker 1: you know what we're doing, but come stop it, you know.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so well that's that's how we approach it.
Speaker 1: When you stop it, we'll stop. And it doesn't look
Speaker 1: like people are stopping it. And that also would do
Speaker 1: help by your offensive line. Talk a little bit about
Speaker 1: the play for your offensive line this year, by those
Speaker 1: guys that they've done a great job of front paving
Speaker 1: them wait for me. You know those guys, Um, I
Speaker 1: think they think very holly holly of me. They want
Speaker 1: to see me get that thousand a thousand yards. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, pro Bowl and all that, but you know
Speaker 1: they're they're working hard for me each week, and um,
Speaker 1: you know I I take that to heart. So you know,
Speaker 1: just knowing that those guys are fighting for me means
Speaker 1: a lot. And those guys are doing it. You know what, Eric,
Speaker 1: when you talk to the offensive linement about him, they
Speaker 1: always say how much they get charged up by watching
Speaker 1: him run and break tackles, and it just, you know,
Speaker 1: just focuses them even more. I'll tell you what. Brian Winters,
Speaker 1: after this guy went off in London against the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: I said, they, uh, you know, you guys are blocking
Speaker 1: for him, but do you ever get a chance to
Speaker 1: admire him? And he Briant said, it's like a video
Speaker 1: game out there sometimes with Chris the way what he does.
Speaker 1: One he gets to the second level and I feel
Speaker 1: bad for the defensive backs. Honestly. I know it's a
Speaker 1: National Football League and those guys get paid, but uh,
Speaker 1: those safeties, uh in corners from New England, if they're
Speaker 1: gonna be seeing Chris, Yeah, that's gonna be tough for
Speaker 1: them this week. But let's see what happens. Have you
Speaker 1: thought about I know it's all about team goals. But
Speaker 1: have you thought about what you do with the ball
Speaker 1: and your carry? If you get a thousand this week,
Speaker 1: where that ball would go while I'm playing to keep
Speaker 1: it in frame? If that's that's uh, that's my plan.
Speaker 1: It would be a great accomplishment. It will excellently, it
Speaker 1: will be. But um, you know, once that happens, I'm
Speaker 1: just looking, you know, in the future, just to you know,
Speaker 1: do better. Series a year, to get better and that's
Speaker 1: you know, that's what I'm gonna trying to do. Is that?
Speaker 1: And of course you have team goals obviously, but for
Speaker 1: individual goals along with the team, is that something that
Speaker 1: you say at some out of the yards staying healthy?
Speaker 1: What are some of the goals you set for yourself
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season. I don't really see
Speaker 1: the set too many goals, but you know, one of
Speaker 1: them that realistics. I was just staying healthy. Um, so
Speaker 1: I focused on that and uh, you know, a thousand,
Speaker 1: a thousand plus it's one of my goals. And to
Speaker 1: make it to the Pro Bowl. But you know a
Speaker 1: lot of people look, you know, they say, oh, he
Speaker 1: hasn't he hasn't hit a thousand yards, But it also, um,
Speaker 1: you know, you have to have those carries to hit
Speaker 1: a thousand yards. Most guys with a thousand yards that
Speaker 1: they have two hundred plus carrieres And this would be
Speaker 1: my first season while where I've had, uh, two hundred
Speaker 1: plus carriers. So you mentioned everything you do physically to
Speaker 1: keep yourself healthy. How do you feel after fourteen games
Speaker 1: right now? Right now? I feel pretty good, man, I'm M,
Speaker 1: I'm M. I'm impressed. Um. Like I said, everything I do,
Speaker 1: with everything, everything that's gonna allow my body to be
Speaker 1: in a perfect shape down this stretch. And I think
Speaker 1: I've done pretty good with that so far. And I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna continue on with what I'm doing and uh,
Speaker 1: hopefully my body continues to hold up the way it's
Speaker 1: been well. Chris, listen, thanks for coming by, and good
Speaker 1: luck this week, and have a great holiday all right,
Speaker 1: Thanks Chris Ivory. Jumping over to the perfect setting for
Speaker 1: fun with friends, find food and drink the Madison Hotel,
Speaker 1: Rod Steakhouse and g K's Red Dog, located on Madison
Speaker 1: Avenue in Morristown. When we return, we'll wrap up the
Speaker 1: edition of Inside the Jets on ESPN. It's Patrick in
Speaker 1: the shotgun. Ivory was right takes the snap, drops back,
Speaker 1: flicks and left. Jefers got It walks into the ends
Speaker 1: of That's a Jet cuts down and a Jets family
Speaker 1: with eight ago. Now back to Inside the Jets on
Speaker 1: ninety eight point seven ESPN. Here's Larry Hardisty and Eric Gallatin.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the final segment. Here Coloe's Italian village
Speaker 1: for the week. The this is it. It's the Jets,
Speaker 1: it's the Newland Patriots, it's uh. It's a divisional game,
Speaker 1: it's a conference game, it's the next game. It's an
Speaker 1: important game. And when you talk about all and I
Speaker 1: love what Top Bowls continues to say, it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: what everybody else does. It doesn't matter any of the
Speaker 1: you know, the calculations. You have to win every game
Speaker 1: that's left in the season. That's what you have control of.
Speaker 1: That's what you got to go down. Well, it really
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I mean, there are scenarios where the Jets
Speaker 1: can get into the postseason where they lose one and
Speaker 1: everybody uh loses out. Basically that's not gonna happen. Let's
Speaker 1: be honest here. So you know, and like I said
Speaker 1: last week, I'll put it on a line I think
Speaker 1: the Jets will make the postseason if they go eleven
Speaker 1: and five, and we'll have to We'll have to see
Speaker 1: what happens because Kansas City, we know the scenarios here.
Speaker 1: It is so the Jets have to win out, Kansas
Speaker 1: City has to lose or tie, or Pittsburgh has to
Speaker 1: lose or tie, or Denver loses one game, and then
Speaker 1: the Jets would get in at eleven and five. But
Speaker 1: Bowls have said the same attitude, the same approach throughout
Speaker 1: this whole deal. We got a number of one game seasons.
Speaker 1: Right now it's two. It's down to two. The Jets
Speaker 1: have got on a low run, which is fine. That
Speaker 1: set themselves up to play very meaningful football here. Late
Speaker 1: in December, the Patriots come to town. And I really
Speaker 1: mean that it doesn't matter that it is the Patriots.
Speaker 1: It matters because the Jets have to win it. It's
Speaker 1: a big game. It's the last game at MetLife Stadium
Speaker 1: in two thousand fifteen, barring a miracle in the postseason
Speaker 1: and things like that, uh fan appreciation game. But the
Speaker 1: Jets have to win because it's not just because of
Speaker 1: the Patriots, is because who doesn't matter of the Tennessee
Speaker 1: Titans the same day. Who charges Miami Dolphins. It doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: you know, And then they can look up and Bulls
Speaker 1: has always said that. Larry said, at the end of
Speaker 1: the season, we can look up and see where we're at.
Speaker 1: And if the Jets are eleven and five, they to
Speaker 1: give themself a hike of a chance to get in.
Speaker 1: Uh the game that I think is gonna be interesting
Speaker 1: if the Jets can take care of businesses. Denver is
Speaker 1: playing at home against the Cincinnati Bengals. Denver's ten and four.
Speaker 1: The Bengals are eleven and three. You know, Denver since
Speaker 1: Nanty wants that first round by as well, that's a
Speaker 1: big game. Backup quarterbacks in there. You got uh mccaron
Speaker 1: for the Bengals, you got Asweler for Denver. But you know,
Speaker 1: the Jets have a huge test this week. The Patriots
Speaker 1: are defending Super Bowl champions. They are eleven and two.
Speaker 1: If the season ended today, there's a number one seed
Speaker 1: in the a f C. They are banged up. Tom
Speaker 1: Brady's a quarterback and all by the way, I think
Speaker 1: this is one of the better Patriot defense is that
Speaker 1: we have seen over the past decade. They can get
Speaker 1: after the quarterback. The Jets have to protect Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: because we know what Belichick is gonna do, gonna take
Speaker 1: away your strength. So he's gonna load the box against
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory because he doesn't want I ready to beat him.
Speaker 1: And he's also gonna play that double coverage on Brandon Marshall.
Speaker 1: Could be a big game again for Eric Decker, who
Speaker 1: in the first meeting saw a lot of Malcolm Butler.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting, it's gonna be a good but
Speaker 1: I'll see you out there Sunday, partner, alright, looking forward
Speaker 1: to it. Having Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to
Speaker 1: all of you were listening to us here and inside
Speaker 1: the Jets, from our engineer here, Gerald for Ray and
Speaker 1: the crew back at the studio, and it's all the
Speaker 1: crew to Brian and everybody back at the studio, and
Speaker 1: of course for us here who wish you a very
Speaker 1: very merry Christmas and make sure you go out to
Speaker 1: MetLife and get your white out all right, and and
Speaker 1: also has the player signatures on. It's gonna be very
Speaker 1: nice time. Yeah, absolutely, it's gonna be great, all right.
Speaker 1: So up next more from Yes have a good night. Everybody,
