WEBVTT - Jets Offensive Coordinator Search Update (1/18) 0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:08.200 And once again, welcome to the Official Jets Podcast. We 0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:10.600 were presented by when Bett Betting is a team sport 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:15.440 bet together at wind Beat. I'm Eric Allen here at 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:19.200 our studio at one Jets Drive, joined by one of 0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:24.720 the busiest men and professional sports, my buddy Lejade Douzable. Dudes, 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:27.600 are you keeping your head above water? We're trying to. 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:30.640 We're almost there. We're almost The light is at the 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:33.400 end of the tunnel. You know, Division around this weekend 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:37.000 and Championship weekend, and we got a Pro Bowl weekend 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.519 in between with Singer Bowl and then you know the 0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:43.800 KUTA right Super Bowl at the end. Oh man, only 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:48.280 a few weeks away. Okay, but let's off the top 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:51.880 talk about what's going on right here with the Jets. 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:56.120 What were your initial reactions when you had heard that 0:00:56.160 --> 0:01:00.920 the Jets had parted ways with offensive coordinator Michael Flour. Yeah, 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:03.360 I mean, you hear rumors, but just from everybody I 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:06.560 talked to, you know, it was a bit surprising, but 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:11.040 not surprising. E A. Um, when you understand that, you know, 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:15.559 when teams heard that the Jets may move on without 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:19.000 Michael Floor, they might mutually part ways. There's a lot 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.080 of interest from other teams. I believe I'm not mistaken. 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.399 I think he signed with the Rams already. UM, so 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:28.120 you know he has a familiarity, UM with Sean McVeigh. 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.440 You know his brother coach with him at Washington. UM. 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:36.360 But I'm I don't get it. I would say only 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.480 because it's hard as an offensive coordinator to play to 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.720 make play calls, right. I don't think people understand that 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:45.080 there's a true art to calling plays. And then when 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.920 you feel like you're handicapped at times because there's an 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.760 epic flow at the quarterback position, there's no continuity there. 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:53.400 It's tough, like where does that puts you at as 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.240 far as rhythm, because everything when you call plays A 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.640 is a rhythm, right, and if you've played four quarterbacks 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.640 in one year, there is no rhythm. Right. It's tough. 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.360 You got offer the line injuries up front. Um, you 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.760 know you lose Breese Hall a VT early in the year. 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.000 It's tough. Yes, the NFL you have to adjust, but 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:14.120 but some things are just tough to over overcome. And honestly, 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.799 I thought, you know, losing Napper rest in peace to him, 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.240 was a big blow to this staff, right, And I 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:23.520 thought maybe that you know, Salo and you know, and 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.040 staff would maybe bring somebody in that's a veteran, like 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:29.160 a Kubiak or something like that, while keeping Mike Lafloor on. 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:30.920 But it seems like the end of the day they 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:33.400 mutually wanted to part ways and you know, best of 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:35.160 luck to Mike. You know, I was with Mike in 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.280 two thousand seventeen with the San Franciscofore and not it's 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.519 just like with Sala. Great dude, I love him and 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:42.040 wish something but the best for him. Yeah, good dude, 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.400 creative mind. He's a hard worker. I think he's gonna 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.799 have success in the National Football League. We saw him 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:53.960 have some success here. We talked about the quarterback instability. Man, 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.919 nobody could have predicted that the Jets would have started 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.280 Joe flack or to start the year. He gains the 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.320 Baltimore Rave and Joe Flacco ended the year and the 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:08.280 teams starting quarterback against the Miami Dolphins. When you think 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:13.560 about the quarterback instability, what happened though to the team 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.359 down the stretch. We're not I mean, we're gonna push 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:20.160 this thing forward, but like you mentioned that, hey, the 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.280 play caller couldn't get into a rhythm, and yes, the 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.000 quarterback has so much to do with it. But what 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:30.080 else was happening, in your eyes, is why the Jets 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.960 faltered down the stretch completely dues because they didn't even 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.280 score a touchdown in those final three games. Yeah, I mean, 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.440 lack of productivity from the quarterback position was definitely one 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.120 we all know and not to be the dead horse, 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:43.840 and I don't even know for a legal not to 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.600 say that anymore. But you know, with Zack Wilson, I 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.240 think it came to a point where it was a 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.080 confidence thing. And then obviously his mechanics and everything, we're 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.200 all over the place. Um, And that's something that you 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.240 can't fix during the season, e ain't. That's something that 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:59.680 you literally need a total ruby reboots in the off 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:03.080 season to get your feet and and arms and eyes 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.200 to match. Um. But you know, I think I think 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.360 besides that, the one thing you gotta have in this league, 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.640 he's confidence. And I think the confidence was wavering on 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.720 Zach Wilson just because he had a lack of success 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.800 after being benched and coming back. And yes, people will say, 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:20.839 you know, in a Detroit game, I think it through 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.360 for over three hundred yards, But how many of that 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:27.400 was just you know, out of the pocket right off script, 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.360 not living within the offense. And we know this, We've 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.320 had this discussion many times. That's not viable offense. You 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.400 can't do that on a week to week basis, right, 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.560 And then I think everything came to head in the 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.039 Jacksonville game. And I actually went back and watched that 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.919 Jacksonville game as I was preparing UH to do the 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.680 pre and post games for the wild card weekend. You know, 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:49.520 Jacksonville played the Chargers, and like the Chargers, the Jets 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.000 like to play a lot of man covers. Their corners 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.800 are aggressive, they're getting your face. And whenever they did that, 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.919 Trevor Lawrence had issues. But you know that's talking about 0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:00.720 something else. Getting back to zack Um first quarter XTI 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:02.840 didn't play that bad. Yeah, when I went back and 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.920 watched it, it was the second quarter, and and then 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:09.080 you just saw his confidence just like in wavering as 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.479 incomplete passes happened. He had to throw balls away on 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.800 third down because you know, the offensive line struggled a 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:17.920 lot in that game. And we know on Thursday Night football, 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:19.479 especially late in the season. I think that was like 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.800 Week sixteen, your body's beat up. Right, So as far 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.920 as like the injuries up front, getting that continuity down, 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.480 because even talking about continuity with Michael Floor, the offensive 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.760 line was in flux this year. Right, We've got Max 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.640 Mitchell starting half the year. You got Cedric Gwenny started 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:36.560 half the year. You got George Fatt starting half the 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.560 year at one position, right tackle. Right, we even at 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:41.400 a v T in the beginning year starting had left tackle. 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.599 Nobody saw that coming. So it's it's it's just hard 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.400 for a young quarterback, right when you feel like you're 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.000 under pressure and they're like everybody's telling you you have 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:51.600 to throw the ball at the bounce, you cannot put 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.720 it in harm's way. I think he felt like he 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.279 was handicapped. I don't know where his confident level was 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.960 at the end of the season, and then he almost 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:00.880 had to play in week te there Joe Flaccer right 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:04.240 went down because Mike, you know, Mike um White was hurt. 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.200 You would have to go right back in there. Yeah, 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.160 So it's like it's just a constant, epic flow and 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:13.200 there was no continuity. It was tough. It's it's it's hard, 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.000 like you said in the last three weeks. It seas 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.800 you don't score a touchdown, right, that's somebody's gonna get 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.800 the blame for that, whether it's the quarterback, the offensive coordinated, 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.240 the old line, and I just think that the Jets 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.960 really struggled down the back half when you want to 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.080 be playing your best football. It was a total opposite 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.640 on the offensive side. So let's bridge this thing forward. Dude, 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:36.960 what should Robert Sale, Joe Douglas, Woody Johnson and company 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:42.240 be looking for in terms of a new Jets offensive coordinator, 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:47.039 because again, this is a very specific system the Jets 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:50.640 ran the last two years and you know it. The 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:55.000 thing is, I think people sometimes on the outside are 0:06:55.120 --> 0:07:00.360 eager for an overhaul. But every time you change assist um, 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:04.360 that means a new guy comes in because he might 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.479 be looking for certain types of personnelity you don't have 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:11.000 right now to that roster. So if you're these guys, 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.720 and Woody Johnson made it clear the other day, Hey, 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:17.480 this is Robert Salis call Joe Douglas said the same thing. 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.960 But Joel, obviously he's gonna give solid support. What should 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:25.440 he be looking for in terms of an offensive coordinator? Yeah? Yeah, 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.640 Before I get into that, That's exactly why I didn't 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.119 think Michaelafore should have been relieved, and essentially he didn't 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:33.040 get relieved. It was a mutual splitting, right, But that's 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:34.440 why I thought, you know, a lot of fans were 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:36.640 on the upwar like we should get around. I'm like, 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.840 I don't think you guys understand that. Like, if there's 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.240 any chance of Zach Wilson bounced back, or even the 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:44.000 new quarterback that's coming in, right, you've got all the 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:46.720 pieces in the system right now to fit that Lafloor 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.800 Santa hand offense. Right, So like if you bring somebody 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.280 in that doesn't run that offense, and we know how 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.679 this league is, a lot of guys come in, Well, 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.440 this guy doesn't fit my system, or this guy you're 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.680 starting all over again, you're gonna have the same issues 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.240 you had last year. And also it takes the quarterback 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.520 literally like two years to really grasp the system. Let's 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:09.040 not forget Aaron Rodgers one of the greatest of all time, 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.760 right as far as just pure talent, Right, some people 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.400 will say probably the best we've ever seen. Now, my 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.720 homes might have something to say about that. Towards the 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.760 end of his career, but as far as right now, 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:20.720 with with with the two eyes that we have in 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.640 our skulls that we've seen, nobody has been better as 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:27.559 far as pure talent from Aaron Rodgers standpoint right. People 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.760 thought he was done his first year within the floor system. 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:32.959 Like I think people tend to forget. People were talking 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.040 about maybe they should move on to Jordan's love because 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.560 he didn't look good. It takes two years to get 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.720 into this system, you know, you know thoroughly and really 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.680 grasp it what happened the next two years back to 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.400 back gam v PCAs right. So it's like but with 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.680 Michael for Leavin, if you essentially don't bring somebody in 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.559 with a similar system, which is why I like Gary Kobayak, 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.640 because it is under that tree, you're starting to clock 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.240 over again and we could have these same problems on 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.120 offense next year no matter who the quarterback is, whether 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:05.720 it's Zack Wilson, Mike White, Derek Carlo, Mark Jackson, just 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.840 throwing out a few names, you're starting that cock over again. 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.520 So it's it's tough, right, because that's that's what the 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:16.120 league is. It's like it's a production based business. But 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:20.120 in that time, like your your actually do some unspeakable 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:23.839 things as far as changing personnel, changing systems while still 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.559 competing and making runs in the playoffs. Well, there's been 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.200 a lot of names reported out there, dudes, and I'll 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:34.360 just throw a few at you. Um, you know, it's 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:38.520 top top of mind, whatever comes to mind as far 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:42.800 as any of these guys. Bill's quarterbacks coach, Joe Brady 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:48.599 Marcus Brady, who was the former Colts offensive coordinator. UM. 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:52.880 Kevin Petullo, the Eagles passing game coordinator, actually worked here 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.880 under Chan Gaily a few years back. Brian Johnson, the 0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:02.280 Eagles quarterbacks coach. Pep Hamilton's who was Lovey Smith's offensive 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:06.839 coordinator with the Houston Texans. Daryl Bevil's name has been 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:11.280 mentioned a ton. He's Miami's quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator. 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.360 He's been an offensive coordinator for four different teams. He 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:18.479 also worked with Solo way back in the day in Seattle. 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.120 I mean, we're hearing a lot of names, a lot 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:25.280 of different reports. Obviously the Jets aren't confirming anything. Uh, 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:30.640 from what you've heard so far, top of mind, what 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:33.520 what have you thought? Yeah, Darren Bevil is the one 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.120 I think that's the last name you said that I 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.440 think has been most linked to the Jets just because 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.600 of the relationship Robert Salo had with him going back 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.400 to their Seattle days. I think he's a guy that's 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.920 a veteran coming presence that could be really good. And 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.920 this system um system is not too far off from 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.559 what Michael Floor did, so I think that would be 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.000 a good name and name I talked about earlier, Gary Kubiak, 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:56.320 I think they should call him to see if you 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.439 come out of retirement. I mean, it's the guy that 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.920 has played a long time in this system, right, was 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:06.560 key in that you know zone stretched scheme and then 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.440 play action off of that and being decisive getting the 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.560 ball out of your hands. System. It's quarterback friendly, right. 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:17.160 I think that's another calming presence that could be great 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.520 for the Jets quarterback room, whether it's Zack Wilson or 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.000 a veteran they bring in. So, I mean, it's it's 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:24.360 a lot to think about. I know a lot of 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.720 people were enamored with the Bevil name, but you also 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.280 gotta think e A and whatdy. Johnson hasn't come out 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.880 and said it's a playoff mandate, but we essentially know 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:36.560 it's get to the playoffs or something might happen in 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.800 the off season. Right, so you gotta take into key, 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.920 you gotta take in take that into account when you're 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.920 an offensive coordinator potentially coming to the Jets, Right, I 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.160 literally got one year to get this done. So like 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:54.560 having a young guy probably isn't the best thing first 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:56.920 you want all we gotta think, right because you gotta 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.880 convince that guy to leave his job come here, and 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.800 it's literally one and done if most likely one and 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.360 done if you don't get it done right. So, if 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:09.160 you've got a guy like Kubiak or you know, um 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:13.400 Bevil who have been in the system before and if 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.440 you know, been coaches for a long time in this league, 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:19.400 they understand, you know, the timetable. They understand that you 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:22.160 got the top five defense. They understand you've got probably 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.319 offensive rookie of the year and Garrett Willson, Breese Hall 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.160 Breese Hall coming back a b T. So maybe they're not, 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:31.679 as you know, nervous about taking a job like that 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.840 as where a young guy who might be willing to 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.040 come on just because it's his first opportunity as officers 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.880 a coordinator. But then again, how would the offense flow 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.000 if it's a totally different system, you know, And I've 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.600 heard some names floated out there that I don't know. 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.160 I don't know after that realistic, like a Frank Reich, 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.320 because Reich is interviewing for head coaching jobs and people 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:58.320 are talking about Cliff Kingsbury and people are reporting that, Yeah, 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:02.319 you know, we've seen the photos from Island, right, So, uh, 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.640 you know, I don't know how realistic that some of 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:09.800 those guys are home run. Who Frank Wright would be 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:11.920 at home run? But like you said, he I just 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.280 think what his history and what he did with the Coats. 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:18.760 I think he's legitimately gonna get some head coaching opportunities. 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.440 And then it comes down to again, this is a 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:25.880 veteran guy, played in the league, coach for a long time. 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:27.840 He's gonna have a bevy of places to go to. 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:29.800 He's got that way. The way is option as far 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:32.880 as if I come to the Jets right, we essentially 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:34.760 probably most likely got to get it done this year. 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:38.760 Where if I wait and go to another team, maybe 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:42.320 the Chargers or somewhere else that needs offers a coordinator, 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.400 do I have two years minimum at least to kind 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.319 of put my system and get guys going, get guys 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.880 comfortable in the system. But charges are essentially, I think 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:52.439 in the same position as a jet. So if you 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:54.480 go there, I think it's literally they got They have 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.840 probably a playoff mandated more than the playoff minute. They 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.880 probably gotta go past the first round after what happened 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.520 with them in Jacksonville being up seven nothing. So I 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.760 mean it's this is what the all season is about, 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.760 right ea. You know, speculations where guys are gonna go 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.319 um and filling out the staff and filling it out 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.400 right right, You've gotta have the right guys in your building. 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.440 Wind bet is bringing the excitement of wind Las Vegas 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:21.080 to online sports betting and casino play.

With that being said, no matter 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:31.360 who they bring in here, what is Sala looking for 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:34.080 do you think, Because you know the man very well, 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.560 obviously he wants an offensive scores points, you can run 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:41.040 the football, who can operate late in the season where 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.680 the Jets faltered down the stretch where they're able to 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:48.800 flourish in December. But what do you think he would 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.600 want as far as philosophical mind to match what he 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:57.360 does defensively? Because something that you and Bart have told 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:02.760 me repeatedly about this defense, and it seems so ailmentary, 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.720 But you got to operate with the lead. This is 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.960 all about getting ton pass rushers on the field and 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:12.440 dominating in the fourth quarter and pinning your ears back 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.480 and getting to the quarterback. You saw you started seeing 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.760 those rush numbers go up elevate late in the season 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.160 because the Jets were never in the league. Yeah, and 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:24.120 and that's the thing, right, I think you just want 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:28.480 somebody that's comparable, right, you just want comparable football. Honestly, yes, 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:30.600 you would love to play with the league. But like 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:33.840 you stated earlier in this podcast, yea no touchdown was 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:37.200 the last three weeks. Like again, and people I've seen 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.720 fans on Twitter going after the defense. It's like, I 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.160 think we get spoiled that time, right when you used 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.080 to the defense dominating weekend and week out. But the 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:47.360 thing you have to understand in this league, he is 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:49.680 that this is gonna be a week or two where 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.400 you may not play to the standard. Can that other 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:56.440 position or other side of the football elevate the team 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.760 to win in no scenarios? Perfect example, let's look at 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.080 the four n versus the Raiders, which sent him had 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:05.240 his first start. That defense didn't play to the standard. 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:08.239 They gave up thirty one points to Jared Stidham, right, 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:10.679 he's there for three sixty five bore. Having on the 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:14.200 offensive side, a A picked their defense up. They scored 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:17.159 thirty four to win in overtime and beat the Raiders. 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:20.080 That's what you gotta have, Like comparable football. You're not 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.800 gonna always play your best, right even towards the end 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:24.120 of the year. You want to be playing your best. 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.080 There's times where you may instead of giving up only 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:30.080 three points, you may give up thirteam, which in in 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.360 the NFL, you still should win games if you give 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:36.560 up thirteen points. Yeah, social media, I know you've been 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.119 pretty vocal about that with fans. The back and forth 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.520 to get the lack of complimentary football is just killing 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.800 the Jets down the stretch and the defense to be 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:48.400 superman play in and play out, like that's not realistic 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.840 in the NFL. So, like that's the thing that that 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.199 you gotta have on offense. You gotta have somebody that 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:57.720 comes in at it one and stokes and invokes confidence. 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.040 Right right now, you know how much confidence is on 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.240 that side of the football, because you talked about the 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:04.760 last three weeks no touchdowns, Like we know Gary Wilson 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:06.520 has a lot of conference with no breeze Hall A 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:08.960 v T. These are some of our younger players. But 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:11.480 we gotta get everybody on that side of the ball 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:14.080 having confidence that we can go out there and score 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.920 on anybody. We don't care who the defense is. Right 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:20.160 then again, my thing, I think Solid wants somebody that's 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:24.040 comfortable to this offense because because the pieces there. Now again, 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:26.960 I'm a big proponent, and I never liked when when 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.600 coordinators go somewhere like this guy doesn't fit my system. 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:33.840 That's tag wash to me. Your job as a coach 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:35.480 is to coach what can a player do well? Don't 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:37.040 tell me what he can't do, tell me what he 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:38.760 can do well. Put him in that position where he 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:41.280 can succeed doing things well. And that's what I really 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:44.840 loved about Rex Ryan. He rarely put dudes in positions 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.119 where he knew they weren't gonna be successful, and he 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.600 had everybody had a key part to his defense. They 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.200 had something specific that they did well, and he let 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:56.360 them do that. Right. So, as a coordinator, really it's 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:59.240 offense or defense, that's your job to figure out what 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.680 players do well and put them in position to make plays. 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:04.840 I mean, we go back to Denzel Mims a lot 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.760 of people were kind of mad at Lafour for for 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:11.600 not putting this guy out there was six ft two pounds, 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:13.960 runs like a gazelle, And I was glad that he 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:15.840 was able to get an opportunity late in the season 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:20.120 and started playing well and he started making play So again, yes, 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:23.199 you might have a system in your head, a specific system, 0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:25.760 but find out what players do well put them in 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:28.360 in positions to succeed. I think that's something else that 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:30.800 you know, Robert Salo would look for, right, how do 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:34.480 we get our playmakers making plays, whether they fit the 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:36.760 system or not. What do they do well, and how 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:39.240 do we get them in positions where they can succeed 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:42.080 doing what they do well. That was a super point 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:45.199 about Rex Ryan, because I've always made the argument that 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:49.000 I'd walk downstairs in his office he started with he 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:52.160 would break out the playbook, he'd show you a number 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:56.920 of plays, and he'd always have something for everybody. Again, 0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.480 I tell people that if he had me on the 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:03.000 field and safety, he creates just a special blitz for 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:06.080 me that yes, he was not gonna use throughout the game. 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.879 I wasn't gonna get fifteen rops, but I was gonna 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:12.000 get two rops in here. He was gonna point me 0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:16.240 in position to make a play, even me, no matter 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:18.960 who you were. Whenever you did well, Rex would find it. 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:20.480 Like you said, he if it was one or two 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:23.600 plays a game, it would be timely too when he 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:25.120 put you out there, because it would be the last 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:30.560 thing the offense would expect. What are the pros to 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:34.960 this job if you are a candidate? What makes this 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:39.199 an attractive job? The Jets offensive coordinator position. Yeah, and 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:40.919 I think that's what we kind of talked about earlier, 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:44.040 right than again, you worry about the timeline because it 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:48.439 could be essentially get to the playoffs or staff changes, 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:50.280 and that's just the reality of football. I know that's 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:52.800 kind of tough for ere to even talk about. But 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:55.080
