<v Speaker 1>That's available on NFL dot Com, NFL now, iTunes, and YouTube. Bucky,

0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 1>thanks so much for joining us. The first thing I

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>want to ask you is if I would have told

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:32.520
<v Speaker 1>you in March the New York Jets would be nine

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 1>and five with two games remaining, what would you have

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:39.200
<v Speaker 1>told me. I don't think that would be a pretty

0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:43.199
<v Speaker 1>fair estimate or evaluation based on the talent that you

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>had um On the Jet defensive side of the ball,

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I think you definitely could see them making a playoff run,

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.239
<v Speaker 1>but the defensively the way I think the biggest surprise

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>is how well the offense is played of late, with

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Paspatrick playing quarterback and Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker

0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 1>emerging as one of the job Why receiver deals in

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the LEAs you played receiver in this league. Why do

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Marshall and Decker work so well together as a tannem

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>They're nice compliments to one another um. I think when

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 1>you're building a wide receiver corps, you want to have

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>different pieces of the puzzle, but it all comes together

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:19.679
<v Speaker 1>to make a perfect picture. And when I look at

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:23.839
<v Speaker 1>the Jets, particularly Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker, those guys

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 1>are placed in roles that are very comfortable to their

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>skill sets. And Brandon Marshall, you have a classic number

0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>one receiver, a guy that can deal with double teams.

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>He's effective as a big body playmaker down the boundary,

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 1>but also has the ability to be a factor in

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.400
<v Speaker 1>the red zone. Doesn't mind doing the dirty work working inside.

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 1>So he is a nice number one receiver. And Eric Decker,

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>you're finally getting him back in the number two role,

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 1>the complimentary player on the back side of a dominant

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 1>number one, a guy who was effected working between the hashes.

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 1>But it's also a special talent down in the red zone.

0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>And so when you have two big buddy guys, because

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 1>remember both of these guys are over six three, they

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>are weapons in the red zone and it really makes

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 1>it hard for the defense to key in on where

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>the ball is going when you get inside of the chin.

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 1>And I think because Ryan Fitzpatrick doesn't necessarily field that

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.120
<v Speaker 1>need to be tied to one of those guys in

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>the red zone. It really makes the Jets offense more

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>effective because they can be balanced, They can pick and

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 1>choose who to go to based on the matchup in

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 1>the situation. The Jets have definitely excelled in the red

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:32.959
<v Speaker 1>zone throughout the entire two thousand and fifteen season. How

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:36.920
<v Speaker 1>impressed have you been by Fitzpatrick the way he's gotten

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:41.079
<v Speaker 1>acclimated to his weapons so quickly because he did get

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>traded here in March is eleven, season six NFL team

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 1>and Bucky he's got twenty six touchdown passes and he's

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:53.680
<v Speaker 1>only four shy of setting the franchise record here. Yeah,

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a testament that not only Fitzpatrick being

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>able to be um a quick study, but it's also

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>a testament to change gay league and what he's been

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.640
<v Speaker 1>able to do with that offense. A lot of times

0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>when you have acquisition, being the draft or free agency,

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>it's about how do you get that player to fit

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>into your scheme. What chan Gailey has some familiarity obviously

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.799
<v Speaker 1>with Dispassion from their time together in Buffalo. What he's

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 1>been able to do is build upon with Dispatrick does really,

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:20.520
<v Speaker 1>really well, which is why you're seeing a lot of

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.520
<v Speaker 1>empty for amazings, a lot of spread looks designed to

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 1>clear the picture for the quarterback, and really it puts

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>the owners on the quarterback to get the ball out

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>of his hands quickly and the target the ideal matchup

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 1>they're living in that uh tim personnel package, one back, pour,

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers in spread in the field and right Fispatrick

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 1>is thriving. I think you have to tip your head

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>off to chan Gaily for record as a very early

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 1>in the year that Dad is Fitzpatrick's comfort zone and

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>allowing him to play in his tweet spot. Throughout the season,

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>his fence got better in the pocket. You think none

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>you've seen him throughout his career. The book on him

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>always was that he gets the ball out quickly. But

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>what I've noticed overwatch him these fourteen games is that

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>he's got a great feel when that rush is coming

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 1>and when to step up and deliver. You know, you

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 1>look back at the Dallas game on Saturday night, that

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 1>throwing to Quincy and Nona when the Jets converted on

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.839
<v Speaker 1>a third and long fits new where the rush was

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.280
<v Speaker 1>coming from, and just at the last second, it seems

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:25.040
<v Speaker 1>like he can step up and fire. Yeah, a long

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.880
<v Speaker 1>time player better and he's seenalized in a lot of situations,

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 1>understand um how to play the game from the pocket,

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 1>and playing in the pocket is more of a feel

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>than a visual team like. He feels the pressure roundhim.

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 1>He understands whether the lanes are He also understands why

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 1>the sight line or and part of the reason you're

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 1>chain gailing, you like to open it up is because

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 1>fits operate better when he can clearly see where the

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 1>pressure is coming from and how to counteract that pressure.

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:56.920
<v Speaker 1>So I think what you're getting is an offensive play caller,

0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 1>a play designer that understands exactly what his quarterback comfortable joint,

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 1>and he puts them in a situation that accentuates his

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>strips and allows him to play the game very very

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.719
<v Speaker 1>quickly from the pocket. What do you think these wins

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 1>the past to come back, specifically the Giants game and

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>then most recently against Dallas even though they weren't down

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.160
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth quarter, What does that do? Uh, not

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 1>down by a lot in the fourth quarter? What does

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:25.720
<v Speaker 1>that do for a team's confidence? Coming back late in games?

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Whenever you can win a game where you haven't played

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.600
<v Speaker 1>at your best, you feel confident because ultimately it is

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.919
<v Speaker 1>about finding a way to win. I know Todd Bowles

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>has preached that, uh countless times throughout the off season

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 1>and during the year. Let's win games. Let's find a

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 1>way to win. There's no such thing as an ugly win.

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Even though things haven't gone according to plan the last

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks, they found a way to get it done.

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.039
<v Speaker 1>And ultimately, you want to put enough wins and the

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.560
<v Speaker 1>win ledger to put you over the mark to go

0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 1>to the playoffs. That's what they've done. They'll need a

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.039
<v Speaker 1>better effort to close out to finish the way that

0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 1>they want to. But I think it's easy year to

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.920
<v Speaker 1>go in there and to correct those things when you

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 1>won games as opposed when you lost Bucky. What stands

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:10.360
<v Speaker 1>out to you what the Jets are doing defensively and

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.920
<v Speaker 1>especially on third down, because they continue to come up

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:18.039
<v Speaker 1>with different looks and you're speaking about Todd Balls and

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Casey Rogers. Seems like they go to the lab each

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 1>week and they're throng quarterbacks, different different things on third

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 1>down and continue to get off the field. You have

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 1>to tild you had to uh top Boles and Casey

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Rodgers for what they've been able to come up with

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 1>from a scheme plan. This is a team that they

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 1>aggressively come after the quarterback. They bring pressure from every angle.

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>They put a lot of pressure on their dbs to

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 1>hold up and because of that, you'll see it's on

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 1>your Carmarti and de Real Reves give up a play

0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.840
<v Speaker 1>because they love naked a lot in coverage. But by

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.719
<v Speaker 1>putting so much pressure on the quarterback, you're seeing the

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 1>ball come out hurried. Sometimes it's arrants, tipps is deflected.

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Those ultimately lead to interceptions, and so when you think

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 1>about it, I won't say that a turnovers against the

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys before interception. A lot of that came from pressure

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.720
<v Speaker 1>being in the face of the quarterback, forcing them off

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 1>of this spot, forced them to throw from uncomfortable platforms.

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.680
<v Speaker 1>When your dvs are in the right position, they can

0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 1>make plays. The pressure and the coverage works together, you're

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna have a lot of success in key situations, and

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:19.840
<v Speaker 1>third down is one of the biggest situations that defense

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 1>coaches focus on. What do you think about the play

0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 1>David Snacks Harrison playing the nose tackle He continually has

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.680
<v Speaker 1>stood out NFL's number one rush defense throughout the year.

0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.400
<v Speaker 1>And even though that mcfannon got free for over a

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>hundred the other night, I thought Harrison was phenomenal. I mean,

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.239
<v Speaker 1>he's a dominant player. Anytime you can control the middle.

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I was tard a long time ago from defensive coordinator

0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 1>that when you build your defense, you want to build

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>a strong right down the middle. Uh your defensive tag

0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>as you might lineback and you say these they need

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 1>to be dominant players forced everything to run to the

0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 1>boundaries and snacks. You have a guy that can control

0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the field, it can it forces opponents

0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:59.680
<v Speaker 1>to put two blockers on him. That allows your linebacks

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 1>to run and chase uninstructed to the ball. And so

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:04.520
<v Speaker 1>when you see him able to play on the other

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 1>side of the line of experiment to create penetration and

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 1>force running back to titter fast stop defeat. It allows

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the defense to kind of build a

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>wall around them. That's what we're seeing from the Jets

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 1>run defense. Look, Todd Bowles is emphasizing stop the run

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.080
<v Speaker 1>on early downs. Put him in a long yardage on

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.560
<v Speaker 1>second to third down. You have a tremendous amount of

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 1>success because now you're forcing the team to play one dimensional.

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Snacks is a big part of that one dimensional effect

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 1>because he can stop the run by himself and allows

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:37.439
<v Speaker 1>others to feast off his work. Bucky Easier said than done.

0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 1>But what's the blueprint for the Jets this weekend as

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:44.839
<v Speaker 1>the host of New England Patriots? You know it's it's

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 1>it's really forcing tom Brady to be uncomfortable. And if

0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:51.600
<v Speaker 1>you can get to tom Brady rushing four and being

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 1>able to drop seven, that's your best bet. You want

0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>to make some pressure. But what you have to do

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.600
<v Speaker 1>you have to get to him and you have to

0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.840
<v Speaker 1>get hits on tom Brady. Tom Brady's like any other quarterback.

0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Once they get hit, they change. It quickens the clock

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:08.199
<v Speaker 1>in the head. The ball comes out not as accurately

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.679
<v Speaker 1>as it normally does. So it's really important that they

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:14.120
<v Speaker 1>generate a rush. Sheldon Richardson has to be big, Mohammed Wilkinson,

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.160
<v Speaker 1>they have to be big upfront. If they can win

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.480
<v Speaker 1>their one on one matchup, then get into the backfield,

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.000
<v Speaker 1>they can disrupt the timing of the passing game and

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 1>then the real reeves in the junker. Antonio Camarty have

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:25.880
<v Speaker 1>to lock down those guys on the outside, and then

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:27.599
<v Speaker 1>you have to find a way to deal with Grenkowski

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 1>because he's the alternate mismatch on the passing game. What

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>about on the other side of the ball. I think

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 1>this is one of the better Patriot defense is that

0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:38.560
<v Speaker 1>we've seen over the past decade. Yeah, they have a young,

0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:43.520
<v Speaker 1>intriguing defense Chandler Jones, Rob Nikovic, Ball Sheer just playing well.

0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Their front seven is probably one of the best ones

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.200
<v Speaker 1>they've had since there. Hey, they win, they won three

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.560
<v Speaker 1>out of four Super Bowls. You have to be able

0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:51.680
<v Speaker 1>to protect those guys because I do think they're still

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 1>vulnerable in the back end. Malcolm Butler has played great,

0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 1>but I still believe that he can be Um got

0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.360
<v Speaker 1>in a situation where he's matched up with an elite

0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:04.920
<v Speaker 1>receiver and Brandon Marshall. However, they elect to the Capital's mismatches.

0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.360
<v Speaker 1>You gotta for Texas Patrick enough so you can allow

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 1>him to get to those guys. Typically, what the Patriots

0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:11.959
<v Speaker 1>want to do is they're going to double team you're

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 1>best guy and forced you to find someone else to win.

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Eric Decker has to wear the big sombrero this week.

0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:18.920
<v Speaker 1>He has to be the guy that wins the matchup

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 1>because ultimately he could be the one page to one

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 1>on one. If he wins, then the jeff have a

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of big opportunity have success in their passing in

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>How do you think this is gonna play out over

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 1>these final two weeks? The Jets are sitting here at

0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:33.400
<v Speaker 1>nine o five, Pittsburgh nine five, Kansas City nine five,

0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 1>and the Broncos are ton of four, albeit the leaders

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>the f C West, but Kansas City is right at

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:44.200
<v Speaker 1>their heels. Yeah, Kansas City is ready to heal and difference.

0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.080
<v Speaker 1>They have a tough schedule finishing out. They played Incinnati

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.960
<v Speaker 1>on Monday night. That could be a tough game, particularly Broncos.

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 1>While we started, even though Ajan mccarroon started for the Bengals,

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos got ahold of their water. I think with

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.959
<v Speaker 1>the other games Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Kansas City, I think

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>it's the easiest role if you get into the playoffs.

0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:03.199
<v Speaker 1>You know, the Jets, you have the work cut off

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:04.760
<v Speaker 1>because they have to face the patient. They have to

0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:06.439
<v Speaker 1>do with the patients. I think to deal with the

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:12.200
<v Speaker 1>bills again, right, yeah, you yeah, you're right. The Jets

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.600
<v Speaker 1>yea and So when you think about those two games,

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:17.679
<v Speaker 1>like the Patriots are tough in itself, but then dealing

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 1>with the Rex Ryan in fact, even though they're out

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.679
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs, you know, it's a personal game, and because

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.080
<v Speaker 1>they don't have anything to quote unquote play for, they're

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.120
<v Speaker 1>going to throw caution into the win. I think the

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Jets have to take care of business and hope that

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:29.840
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos going to slide so they get back to

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.840
<v Speaker 1>her into the playoffs, because I think the Pittsburgh Steelers

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 1>are going to find a way to get in. So

0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.679
<v Speaker 1>I think the team that I'm looking for if I'm

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.320
<v Speaker 1>the Jets, I'm looking at the Broncos to see if

0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.480
<v Speaker 1>they can hold on. Yeah, and that would be fascinating

0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 1>just looking at their schedule. The Jets have the Patriots

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.560
<v Speaker 1>this weekend, and then they're at Buffalo to close the season.

0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:50.959
<v Speaker 1>The Steelers, who had that seventeen point comeback victory over

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos Sunday, finished at Baltimore, team who struggle throughout

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the season, then at Cleveland another divisional batter battle. Kansas

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.480
<v Speaker 1>City's got Cleveland at home, and then they host Oakland Raiders,

0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 1>and then finally, like you mentioned, Bucky Denver's got that

0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:11.080
<v Speaker 1>tough matchup with Cincinnati, and then they host the San

0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Diego Chargers in the final week of the season, So

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 1>that's Cincinnati Denver matchup out Mile High this weekend could

0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:22.720
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of playoff implications, obviously, not only wild

0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 1>card implications, but um seating implications as far as that one, two,

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 1>and three spots in the FC. Yeah. Absolutely, it's a

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.559
<v Speaker 1>big game. And it's a big game because the Broncos

0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.400
<v Speaker 1>have less some games come to slip and so they

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.520
<v Speaker 1>put themselves in a very vulnerable position. And with Cincinnati,

0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 1>I know a lot of been made of the backup

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 1>quarterback and can't they get it doing ag I've always

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:46.400
<v Speaker 1>been a huge fan of a j McCarry. I think

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.920
<v Speaker 1>he's actually get fit. This offense reminds me of the

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.400
<v Speaker 1>offense that he played in in Alabama where he had

0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of weapons around them. He only has to

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.679
<v Speaker 1>act as the bus dropper and so their defense playing,

0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:57.800
<v Speaker 1>I think they can probably knock off them, and I

0:12:57.800 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 1>think it makes it tough for them to get into

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. I think to lose like the half and

0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.040
<v Speaker 1>that would be something because that would mean the Jets

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.320
<v Speaker 1>would be in a position to control their own destiny.

0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.120
<v Speaker 1>But Todd balls, As you know, Bucky, He's got these

0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:12.959
<v Speaker 1>guys focused on the Patriots. They've concentrated on the task

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.440
<v Speaker 1>at hand each and every week. That's not gonna change

0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.960
<v Speaker 1>this week. Holand pressed, have you been by Balls this year?

0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:21.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, I've been impressed. But I've known top for

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 1>a long time. When I was playing for the Green

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Bay Packers, he was in an area, he was on

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.560
<v Speaker 1>the road. Always looked up to him based on how

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.400
<v Speaker 1>he was able to go from scouting to the coach.

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.880
<v Speaker 1>He want the morehouse with Doug Williams, continues to kind

0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 1>of make his way of the rank. The one thing

0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:36.760
<v Speaker 1>that I knew about side that Todd was going to

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 1>be ready for the job. He had great mentors Joe Gills,

0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Bill Parcel, some of the other guys that he worked for.

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.560
<v Speaker 1>He had the opportunity to act as an interim coach

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.560
<v Speaker 1>during his time in Miami and everywhere that he has gone.

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.440
<v Speaker 1>He's commanded the respect of his players and ultimately, the

0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 1>NFL is about getting players to buy into what the

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 1>plan is, getting them to follow what you have your

0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.200
<v Speaker 1>vision for your program to be, and hold him accountable.

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 1>He has done that, and I think we have seen

0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:06.520
<v Speaker 1>that even though he's not demonstrave on the sideline, we

0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:09.559
<v Speaker 1>understand what we hear the Jets players taught. There's a

0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.280
<v Speaker 1>level of accountability that he holds them too. So outside

0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.719
<v Speaker 1>of being a great tactician and a schemer, he is

0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 1>an outstanding guy in terms of building those relationships and

0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 1>ultimately that is what gets you to go to the

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:22.960
<v Speaker 1>next level. I've been impressed with the job that he's done,

0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 1>and I think they really put together a solid foundation

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.440
<v Speaker 1>to be a good team for a while. And speaking

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:31.000
<v Speaker 1>of the foundation, how about what Mike mccagnet pulled off

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 1>in March by acquiring Brandon Marshall via trade late round

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 1>pick and then coming back what mid round pick, I

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.520
<v Speaker 1>should say, and then coming back the next day and

0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:47.880
<v Speaker 1>landing Ryan Fitzpatrick for a late conditional pick, And how

0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 1>big those guys have been for not only this offense

0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:55.120
<v Speaker 1>but the entire team here in two thousand fifteen. No,

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's really understanding what you're bringing in and

0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.320
<v Speaker 1>understanding the personality that you're bringing into the wrong and

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 1>also understanding the current state of the locker room that

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:06.360
<v Speaker 1>you had. I think with both situations Ty Bows and

0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Mike mccavinin they understood what they were bringing to the

0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 1>locker room. Obviously, Ty Bows knew Brandon Marshall from his

0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.720
<v Speaker 1>time in Miami when Bows was their head coach. He

0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.000
<v Speaker 1>had an opportunity to really get close in person with Brandon,

0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.360
<v Speaker 1>so he understood what made him tick. He understood how

0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 1>he was fit in that locker room and it would

0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.880
<v Speaker 1>be a good dynamic. With Ryan Fitzpatrick being in Houston,

0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Mike m kennon had a way to He had the

0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:30.560
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to watch him every day and practice how he

0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 1>handed himself as a pro, and whether he could accept

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:38.200
<v Speaker 1>being the starter or the backup. Because remember some really expected,

0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:39.920
<v Speaker 1>most of us expect the kind of geno to be

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.080
<v Speaker 1>in the mix to be the starting quarterback, So you

0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:43.680
<v Speaker 1>wanted to make sure you had a veteran that could

0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 1>play that role at the backup or also be the starter.

0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Because he had that intimate knowledge, he knew that Fitzpatrick

0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:52.240
<v Speaker 1>was the right guy for the job because he could

0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.200
<v Speaker 1>thrive in either role. Now, last one here, Bucky. Ryan

0:15:55.280 --> 0:16:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Fitzpatrick enters this week with three thousand four yards, passing

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Chris Ivory at nine hundred fifty one yards rushing and

0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Eric Decker at nine hundred thirty yards receiving. With all

0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 1>that being said and Marshall already on his way to

0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:17.600
<v Speaker 1>and beyond, it's conceivable that the Jets could finish with

0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:22.000
<v Speaker 1>a four thousand yard passer, a thousand thousand yard Russia

0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:26.720
<v Speaker 1>and to a thousand yards receivers. That's something else. There

0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:28.880
<v Speaker 1>is something else. I think that's something that no one

0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.160
<v Speaker 1>necessarily expected, because as when you have a defensive uh

0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:34.520
<v Speaker 1>minded guy got from a defensive back line as your

0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.640
<v Speaker 1>head coach, you expect a team that's kind of a

0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.080
<v Speaker 1>ground and pale team, a team that really leans on

0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the defense to do everything. But what I'm saying from

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.040
<v Speaker 1>the Jets is a team that is a little more

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 1>dynamic on offense and most expected, they spread the ball around,

0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:48.640
<v Speaker 1>they thought around the yard, but they also retained the

0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.400
<v Speaker 1>physicality and toughness while leaning on the running game with

0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Chris Ivory, and Ivory has been the right guy for

0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the job because he's a grinder, not necessarily flashy, but

0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.440
<v Speaker 1>he gets it done. If he gets a fell in yours.

0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.400
<v Speaker 1>With this Patrick having four thousand and two thousand yard receivers,

0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.760
<v Speaker 1>that offense is difficult to prepare for and it really

0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.080
<v Speaker 1>gives a lot of people problems, particularly if they're able

0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:12.520
<v Speaker 1>to get their way into the playoffs. Well, Jets fans

0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.679
<v Speaker 1>are hoping that is the case. This Jets team with

0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.560
<v Speaker 1>two wins would get to eleven and five and then

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:21.359
<v Speaker 1>we'll see what happens from there. But big task ahead

0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:25.400
<v Speaker 1>against the New England Patriots. Bucky Brooks tremendous analysis will

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.880
<v Speaker 1>be following you all over the place on all those

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:32.080
<v Speaker 1>NFL media platforms and you can follow him at at

0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.680
