1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: Welcome to Inside the Jets, where broadcasting live from Vanderbilt 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: Sports and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel. The 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: schedule is impacting everyone because Eric Coleman is not here, 4 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: but uh, one of my colleagues, Ethan Greenberg, has come 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: to Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits, and we'll also be joined 6 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: later by the multe talented Olivia Landis as well. But 7 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: first off, Green's welcome back to Vandy's. Thank you. I 8 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: appreciate that my biceps are not quite as big as 9 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: Eric Coleman's, but hopefully I feel his shoes just fine. Okay, 10 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: we'll get you on the program. And since we are 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: live tonight, we're actually gonna be taking folks calls. So 12 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: it's eight nine one nine three, seven seven six, So 13 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: get in. Let's talk some Jets football. Ethan, what do 14 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: you think about the green and white the five games stretch. 15 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: A lot of people were looking at it and saying, 16 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: this is time for the Jets to do some damage, 17 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: and they actually one four out of five, capturing a 18 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: come from behind contests last year yesterday against Miami Dolphins. Well, 19 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: I think one, it doesn't really matter who you play 20 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Four to five is four to five, 21 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: and I think obviously the one that sticks out is 22 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: the loss because the Bengals were winless. But yesterday the 23 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: Jets did a good job on battling back and winning 24 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: that game. And yes, they were helped out by a 25 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: defensive pass interference call on the last right, which I'm 26 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: sure we'll talk about later on. But I really think 27 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: that yesterday's game showed something if you're a Jets fan, 28 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: because Sam Donald was not his best yesterday. The offense 29 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 1: was stale in the second half after coming out hot, 30 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: getting a sixteen to six lead in the first half, 31 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: and that did not find the end zone in the 32 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: final two quarters. Jets still found a way to win. 33 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: And you put the ball in Sam Donald's hands and 34 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: he made it. He made it happen. Yes, Vincent Smith 35 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: had a thirty seven yard pitch and catch, but that's 36 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: part of the game, and I think he's encouraging sign 37 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: for the job. They beat a quarter blitz and and 38 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: in terms of Sam Donald, that was this twenty third 39 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: start in the National Football League. His third had come 40 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: from behind victory in the fourth quarter. No apologies necessary 41 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Listen that would have been 42 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: a tough defeat. Like you mentioned, they at a ten 43 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: point lead in the second quarter, but they found a 44 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: way to win. After a very tough loss against the 45 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals, I know a lot of people were thinking, well, 46 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: maybe you get to Baltimore and the Thursday Night showdown 47 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: with the Ravens at six and seven. Instead the Jets 48 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 1: five and eight, missing the postseason for a ninth consecutive year. 49 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: But I would like to reiterate that Joe Douglas took 50 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: over as general manager of this team in June. He 51 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: is never went through an off season here as the 52 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: football architect of this team. So a lot of work 53 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: yet to be done, a lot left to play for. 54 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: And the Jets were three and one in the third 55 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: quarter of the schedule they start the fourth quarter or 56 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: their schedule one and all did I was thinking about 57 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: this just a couple of hours ago. Did yesterday's game 58 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: feel anything like exactly a year ago in Buffalo Jets 59 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: built Really? I looked at the stats, and I'm asking 60 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,839 Speaker 1: you if it felt the same. It felt the same 61 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: for me, because I don't think the Jets played their 62 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 1: best football last year in Buffalo. They came out with 63 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: a win. Same thing yesterday AFC East opponent. Yes, this 64 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: game was at home. Last year, the Jets won a 65 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: come from behind victory. Eli McGuire punched it in to 66 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: the end zone on fourth and one and the Jets 67 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: last drive nine plays, sixty one yards. They scored touchdown yesterday, 68 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,119 Speaker 1: What was it for? I'm sorry? Last year? Seven play 69 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: forty one yard? The key play is down the sidelines. 70 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: Who who again? Is scorching hot in December? But yesterday 71 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: it felt like the Bills game, and it felt like 72 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: it was another notch on Sam's belt that you if 73 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: you're Jets fan, you're encouraged to see that type of performance, 74 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: at least late in the game. I understand he didn't 75 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: have his best game statistically passing the ball. He threw 76 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: a pick that was you know, I think it was 77 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: an ill advised throw. But at the end of the day, 78 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: he led the team down to be in a position 79 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: for Sam picking a kick a game winning field goal. Well, 80 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: and we do have to say that Adam Gay said 81 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: he did not put Sam Donald in a good spot 82 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: on that interception. And again, listen, you want players to 83 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: make plays when the game is on the line. Did 84 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: the Jets get good fortune with the past interference call. Well, 85 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: it depends how you look at it, because the bottom 86 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: line was that was a past interference by the book. 87 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: That's why officials overturned the note call. We were talking 88 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: about in the press box and wondering, Okay, where's the 89 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: league gonna go with this one? Obviously it was there. 90 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: Early makes the play on Vincent Smith cornerback Nick need 91 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: him and that's all Sam Donald the company needed. He 92 00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: throws the short ball to Tie Montgomery. Sam Ficking ice 93 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: water in his veins, forty four yards drilling and Sam 94 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: Ficken he missed an extra point earlier in the game, 95 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: so to have a a shot at redemption is something 96 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: that he said that he was actually very much looking 97 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: forward to. He said it was the best kick of 98 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: his pro career. I mean, Sam Ficken is somebody that's 99 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: bounced around the NFL from a couple of different teams, 100 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: finds a home with the Jets after the Jets had 101 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: their own kicking struggles in the beginning of the season, 102 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: and Sam Ficken he's no stranger to game winning field 103 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: goals and when you look at his career, Penn State 104 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: struggled as a freshman. I mean Sam Ficken received death 105 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: threats his freshman year in college in Happy Valley, and 106 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: then his senior year kicks a game winner here at 107 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium in the Pin Stripe Bowl to give Penn 108 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: State to win. So, uh, Sam Ficken has um experienced 109 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: under pressure. I think a lot of kickers do in 110 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: different degrees throughout their career. But I think that's something 111 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: that will only boost the confidence of Sam Ficken moving 112 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,119 Speaker 1: forward over the last or the next three games. Should 113 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: I say inside the Jets is supported by selective insurance, 114 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: be uniquely insured. Eric On alongside Ethan Greenberg later will 115 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 1: be joined by Olivia Landis, who actually wrote about the 116 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: very hot Robbie Anderson yesterday. You can read that on 117 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: New York Jets dot com. But Greens, let's get to 118 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: the past interference call, the vice senior vice president of 119 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: officiating said after the game. After we look at it, 120 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: we get a couple of replays which show us that 121 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: it's clear and obvious that the defender grabs the receiver 122 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: by his shoulder and significantly hinders him before the ball arrives. 123 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: Vincent Smith after his thirty five the thirty seven yard 124 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: catching run said about need Hum, he came up on 125 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: me and grabbed my right arm. I knew it was 126 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: passing interference from the beginning. I had another one in 127 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: the beginning of the game they didn't call. I think 128 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: Sam Donald said the same thing though, he said he 129 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: let go of the ball and he thought it was 130 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 1: passing interference when he saw Needham rip the right shoulder. 131 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: I don't think that it's a question, at least for 132 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: us when we were in the press box. I don't 133 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: think we were questioning is it or is it not 134 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: pass interference? The question was will they or will they 135 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: not overturn it? Because the narrative so far this season, 136 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: it's been hard to get a read on what the 137 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: league has or has not overturned. And I think it 138 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: was the right call. I mean, you clearly see Vincent 139 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: Smith's shoulder get ripped around before the ball made it 140 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,239 Speaker 1: to Smith and tough drive for need Him not only 141 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: for the pass interference call, but a couple of plays 142 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: before on the Smith catch and run. Need Him is 143 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: the guy coming off the corner on the blitz and 144 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: barely misses batting down Sam Donald's pass. Actually need Him 145 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: came off the blitz earlier in the game and knocked down. 146 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna be taking calls later on and said the 147 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: Jets seven seven six. But Green's Jets travel to Baltimore Wednesday. 148 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: They line up against perhaps the NFL's most complete team, 149 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: the Baltimore are Ravens Thursday night in what should be 150 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: a raucous atmosphere. But how is the schedule change? Back 151 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: across the street at One Jets Drive, because Adam Gaze 152 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: addressed the media on a conference call today, as did 153 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: a few players. Because the schedules being changed because it's 154 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: a short week, you basically have two days of work 155 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: and the Jets aren't really getting in a typical practice. No, 156 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: they're not putting on shoulder pads or helmets. They're going 157 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: through two days of walkthroughs. And Adam Gaze said that 158 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: every year since Thursday Night Football has been implemented, he's 159 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: done something different to try to basically improve the health 160 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: of his team, whether it's in Miami or here. And 161 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: the Jets have been banged up all season. We know 162 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: this from the get from week one, even the preseason 163 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: when Avery Williamson went down untill now. The Jets are 164 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: second in the NFL or war at least entering Sunday's 165 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: game in the amount of players that they've used on 166 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: a game day, and I think I believe the number 167 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: was sixty eight different players. Well, well, here's the other thing, 168 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: is they line up against the Miami Dolphins without their 169 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: best overall player, star safety Jamal Adams, and also without 170 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: their top yardage leader in terms of um from scrimmage 171 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: in levy On Bell. So both of those guys didn't 172 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: line up against the Dolphins, you were still able to 173 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: get out of there. And Gaze said, in terms of 174 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: those two guys, Levan Bell had the flu he's close 175 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: to and Adam Gates wouldn't say if he will in 176 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: fact play Thursday, but he said things are lining towards 177 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: that direction now and he was supposed to be back 178 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: in the building. He's not contagious anymore. I think he'll 179 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: be there for the walkthrough tonight. Now the walkthrough is 180 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: tonight because Adam Gates wants the players to get used 181 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: to practicing at night because it's Thursday night football. And 182 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: in terms of Jamal Adams and will he or will 183 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: he not play on Thursday, I think it's obvious that 184 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: Jamal wants to play. You kind of got a sense 185 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: when Adam Gates was talking to reporters. Interesting comma, but 186 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: we know what Jamal wants. But Adam said that it's 187 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 1: not really up to Jamal because Jamal will will sacrifice 188 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: himself to go out there and play against Lamar Jackson 189 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: and the Baltimore Ravens. I mean, this is this is 190 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: a game. If you're a competitor, you want to be 191 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: out there, and this will be in the hands of 192 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: the trainers, the doctors, Adam Gates and Joe Douglas, and 193 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: Adam Gates basically said, if it's not right for Jamal, 194 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: we have to do what's best for him. Even even 195 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: if Jamal really wants to go out there, he's gonna 196 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: want to hold him back and make sure he's a 197 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: thousand percent because Jamal only knows one speed. YEP. So 198 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: many things to get to in terms of injuries. Because 199 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: Ryan Griffin went out against the Dolphins, so the Jets 200 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: were lining up in their eleven personnel with Daniel Brown 201 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: was the guy predominantly against Miami. We saw the rookie 202 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: tray Von west Goal getting in there when they went 203 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: to multiple tight on set, and you can't say enough 204 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: about Greg Williams and we're gonna talk about him later 205 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: and what that mash unit did against the Dolphins bend 206 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: but didn't break. But they have a totally different challenge 207 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: against Lamar Jackson and company. And speaking of Lamar Jackson, 208 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: apparently he's day to day with the quad. We'll see. Yeah, 209 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: he was limited in practice, but again the Ravens didn't 210 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: practice either. As a walkthrough, Mark Andrews did not practice 211 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: or would not have practiced, and staying with same with 212 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: Ronnie Stanley. So if Andrews and Stanley alone can't play, 213 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: I mean, that would be big news for the Jets. Yeah, 214 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. But uh eight nine one, nine three, seven, 215 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 1: seven six, we're gonna come right back with Olivia Atlantis. 216 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: You are listening to Inside the Jets on ESPN New 217 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: York forty four yards away for Ficking to try and 218 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: win it kind of behold about, it's pretty spot kick 219 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: on my way.

Instead of a player, I 229 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: wand up ourselves this week because we've brought in our colleague, 230 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: the multi talented Olivia Atlantis.

Oh, you're gonna do good. So 233 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: where were you when Sam Ficken hit the forty four 234 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 1: yard field goal? Because you actually are all over the 235 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: place on game day and I wanted to know where 236 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: you took it in because I don't even know that answer. Yeah. 237 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: So I was actually close to the thirty yard line. Um. 238 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: Me and our executive producer Chris Gardana, we were sitting 239 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: there on the sideline watched it. I remember literally turning 240 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: to one of our coworkers and think, oh my gosh, 241 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: I can't I can't watch, but I did so. Yeah, 242 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: I was close to the thirty yard line. And watched 243 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: that so pretty sweet. So what changes for you in 244 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: terms of, Okay, ficking makes it take me three responsibilities 245 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: at that moment, what do you gotta do? Well? After 246 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: he makes it and we know that it's a win, 247 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: we always do and as you guys know, we always 248 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: do a postgame interview live on the JumboTron with a 249 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: player as soon as the Jets win. So immediately me 250 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: and Chris Gargana were already like, Okay, what do we want? 251 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: Who are we gonna get? We knew we're gonna get 252 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: Marcus May at that point because you know he's standing 253 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: tall in a depleted secondary. So right then in there, 254 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: we're getting ready and prepared to have like a thirty 255 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: second turnaround because we're rushing onto the field and then 256 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 1: snagging Marcus May as soon as we can. That was 257 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: probably the easiest get for you in terms of getting 258 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: the market because sometimes he's very evasive in the locker room, 259 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: and you both know that, right he can be evasive. 260 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: He seemed very he was very happy after that ball 261 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: game any reasons, very very happy, and like you said, 262 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: it was awesome to finally get him because I remember, actually, Ethan, 263 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: you can attest to this. At one point um in 264 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: the locker room this season, Marcus is like, all right, 265 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: you guys can't get me until week twelve for an interview. 266 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: And we're like, okay, fine, I come up to a 267 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: week twelve and like, hey, we took we took note 268 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: that Marcus said week twelve because there's no way Marcus 269 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: would have remembered that, but there's a very good chance 270 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: that we would have remembered that. Listen, Marcus may great dude, 271 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: hard to depend down sometimes, but when you have a 272 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: conversation with him, he's great. One of the one of 273 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: the best guys in the locker room. Was not out 274 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: about it, and he's a Florda Gator, So okay, that 275 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: gives them the edge. Just going off this um off 276 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: of what he was saying, not only at the end 277 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: of the game, like what are your game day responsibilities? 278 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: And you start in the press box, you go down 279 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: to the field, you basically have two homes on game day, 280 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: So what are your different responsibilities at home? So home 281 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: games are always super crazy, but it's a lot of fun. 282 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: They kind of differ um depending which week it is. 283 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: But to give a kind of overall what I basically 284 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: do is I will shoot pre game you know, pre 285 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: game Central presented by Pepsi, You and Anthony Bet. I'll 286 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: shoot my Island hits before then. Sorry, guys, spoiler alert 287 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: that one's not necessarily live. Shoot that one beforehand, so 288 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: that I always have to do a few hours before 289 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: the game starts, and then by the time I get back, 290 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: I usually find you and then you and I have 291 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: to do Keys to the game, which we do right 292 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: by the MetLife Gate entrance, which is always really cool. Um, 293 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: there's one game left, if you guys want to come 294 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: watch that. We need we need some love at the 295 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: Keys of the game. We need some love, right yeah, 296 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: right at the MetLife Gay entrance. That's me and Ethan 297 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: Greenberg right there on that big stage and we're yeah, 298 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: you can't miss us, you can't, really can't, but yeah, 299 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: but you don't like to stop. So I think it's 300 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: fascinating because you're doing like triple duty because then you're 301 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: in the press box for a little bit, but you 302 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: it's kickoff. You were actually down on the field for 303 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: most of the first half because you talked to a 304 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: couple alarms, I believe, and then also a couple of 305 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: youth football players. Yeah, yeah, those were really funny. So, um, 306 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: I don't usually do that, but yeah, like you guys said, so, 307 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: I was on the field for the entire first half 308 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: of the game, interviewed w w E legend mcfooley. I 309 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: didn't grow up watching w w E. But it was 310 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: pretty cool because everybody in the in the stands seems 311 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: to know who he was. I was going to say 312 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: in the press box, people in the press box know 313 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: who he is. Yeah. And then I interviewed um Laverne Coles, 314 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: which was really cool. We talked about his Monday Night 315 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: miracle game and that reception. Um So, that was really sweet. 316 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: That was actually his first career touchdown catch, which came 317 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 1: in two thousands, which was really cool. Um. And then 318 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: after that, uh, like you said, I interviewed a couple 319 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: of youth football players and those are always really interesting 320 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: to interview the little kids because you know, kids are 321 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: so honest and you never know what they're actually going 322 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: to say when you interview them. Um. So I had 323 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,199 Speaker 1: to make sure that they were Jets fans, so when 324 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: I interviewed them. So then you roll up, I believe, 325 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: and then after the game you start penning a piece 326 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: on Robbie Anderson. What do you think about Robbie Anderson, 327 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: Like Green's mentioned in our first segment here, he's streaking 328 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 1: again in December. What do you make of the connection, 329 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: because that's what you used in the headline, that connection 330 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: that he has with Sam Donald. Yeah. So I actually 331 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: was able to talk to Robbie Anderson after the game, 332 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: and something really interesting that he said and I wrote 333 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: about this, like you mentioned, was that they don't prepare 334 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: obviously any differently than they would in practice. So he's 335 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: said that they were just taking what they were doing 336 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: in practice translating onto the field game day. But what 337 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: really stood out to me was when he was talking 338 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: about his connection heating up with Sam Donald, and he 339 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: mentioned how he just feels like Sam now trusts Robbie 340 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: enough to where he he's just going to give the 341 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: ball to him and let him do his thing. So, 342 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 1: like you guys already said, three plus receiving yard games 343 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: and Sam Donald not only talks about it yesterday, but 344 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: he also talks about it today on player conference calls. 345 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: He was really just talking about how Robbie when he 346 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: gets hot and he gets rolling, they go with it 347 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: and we saw that yesterday, So yeah, I think Robbie 348 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: is on a hot streaking you you mentioned this, you 349 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 1: you said the colder it gets the hotter up Anderson. Statistically, 350 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: when you look at Robbie's numbers throughout his four year 351 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: career or three plus year career, his best numbers are 352 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: in December and last year in weeks thirteen to seventeen, 353 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: he was eight in the NFL with three four receiving yards. 354 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: That's really when Robbie and Sam's connection took off. And 355 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: I think what you just said that it intrigues me 356 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: that Sam Donald is at the point where he just 357 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: trusts Robbie because you you've seen it in glimpses where 358 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: Robby Anderson of course is coming over the middle more. 359 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: But he's really had a lot of tough catches and 360 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: one that stands out against the Raiders on the trick play, 361 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: the end around flee flicker like Robbie had to catch 362 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: the ball over the defender, and against the Bengals last 363 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: week he got cracked over the middle, hung onto the ball. 364 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: Even yesterday against the Dolphins, I thought there were a 365 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: number of catches that were difficult catches that Robby Anderson 366 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 1: ended up with the ball. And I'm sure you talked 367 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: about that with Hines Ward. Yeah, I I did. And 368 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: just actually building off of that. UM. One other thing 369 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: I wanted to mention. Sam Donald said it yesterday post game. 370 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 1: He said, oftentimes Robbie Anderson gets cloud coverage and that's 371 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: you know, when the safety comes over the top because 372 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: of how fast he is. And so he said, that's 373 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: why a lot of times this season maybe the stats 374 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: haven't been showing up on the stats sheet, it's because 375 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 1: of the coverage that defenses are providing on him. So 376 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: I think, you know, it's a good point. Listen, that's 377 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: gonna dictate where Sam Donald's gonna go with the football. 378 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: The more attention Robbie gets, the more bald distribution goes elsewhere. 379 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: But Adam Gaze has said, this guy is super aggressive 380 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: with the ball. He tracks the long ball better than 381 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: perhaps anybody in the National Football League. You both have 382 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: mentioned the expansion of the route tree for Robbie Anderson. 383 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: We're seeing a lot of crossing routes in this offense. 384 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: UM Adam Gaze's offense with Robbie Anderson. His toughness has 385 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: been showcased over the last couple of weeks especially and 386 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: deep ends making the catches and if you play one 387 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: on one against him, fourteen is gonna find him. And 388 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: we saw that last December. We're starting to see it again. 389 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: And oh boy to the New York Jets needed Thursday 390 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: night against the Baltimore Ravens because we can get into 391 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: that match up later. But Baltimore has one of the 392 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: best group of cornerbacks in the National Football League. I 393 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: want to get into You're sit down with Hindes ward 394 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: because the week following the Jets in Baltimore Ravens, Jets 395 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: are going peck to Pittsburgh and Hines Warden knows a 396 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 1: little bit about the Steelers. But we're gonna come right back. 397 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: You've got a little time. I have a little time, okay, 398 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: So we'll come right back on the other side of 399 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: the Lovingtlantis.

Anderson's got it at the five 406 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: stoops into the end zone. That's a Jet touchdown, Creativity seconds, 407 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 1: stepped up in the pocket, extended the play Robby Anderson 408 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 1: came three twenty six yards and the cats Happily Inside 409 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: the Jets is presented by e Y Building a Better 410 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: Working World. Eric Allen alongside Ethan Greenberg and Olivia landis 411 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: here Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel. 412 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 1: We're gonna get to your college momentarily eight nine one 413 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: nine three seven seven six Era Rich Already, Gary, We're 414 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: getting you momentarily. But I have to talk to Olivia 415 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: here about your sit down with A four mentioned Hines Ward. 416 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: What did you take from that? Yeah, So he was 417 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: an absolutely awesome interview. I asked him a lot about 418 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: his playing career and how that kind of influences the 419 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: way he coaches now. And you know, we were talking 420 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: about it right before when we were on commercial. We 421 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 1: were talking about how he won Dancing with the Stars 422 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: and he had a short stint in TV, but he 423 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: said coaching is really, um, really an area that he's 424 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: loved so far and because he was the Bill Walsh 425 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: in turn this summer and then he transitioned into an 426 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: offensive assistant. He was talking about how he really tries 427 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: to be humble and he doesn't necessarily push what he's 428 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: done onto his group of wide receivers, which I thought 429 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: was really interesting because you know, you would think being 430 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl m VP a super Bowl or a 431 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, a Super Bowl MVP is Super Bowl champion, 432 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: that he would you know, kind of show them the 433 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: way with how he did things. But he's like, no, 434 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: I'm honestly very humble. I don't like to push my 435 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: success onto other guys. I'm really just focused on them. 436 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: And you know, we got into Robby Anderson, of course, 437 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: what he say about Robbie. You know, Robbie always mentions 438 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: Hines Ward always and I even told him that I 439 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: was like, he had high praise for you this training camp. 440 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: He's like, you know, he said, he loves Robbie, and 441 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: what he is focused on most with Robbie is making 442 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: sure he doesn't see himself as just a one dimensional 443 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: wide receiver. And I actually think Robbie has talked about 444 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: that a lot, about becoming more of uh, you know, 445 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: a multi threat receiver, and he said he's really trying 446 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,959 Speaker 1: to make sure and focus that Robbie doesn't think, Hey, 447 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: I can just catch a deep ball and that's it 448 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: and it's just about my speed. He said. They've done 449 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: a really good job so far this season of instealing 450 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: different routes, learning, you know, different types, um of ways 451 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: to approach his receiver game, which Hines Ward one of 452 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 1: the most complete receivers in the history of the National 453 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: Football League. I know other guys had more stats, but 454 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: when you think about his career in Pittsburgh and what 455 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: he brought to the table and how clutch he was 456 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: had what a vicious blocker he was as well. I 457 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: love the coaching staff the Jets have assembled in that 458 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: wide receiver room because he got Shawn Jefferson paired with 459 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: Hines Ward. If I'm a young receiver in the National 460 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: Football League, like a Vincent Smith, like a Robbie Anderson, 461 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: perfect staff to coach these guys up. And then you 462 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 1: add another guy to the mix, like a Demarrius Thomas 463 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: say the same things. He's like a third coach. Yeah, 464 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: like a third coach Greens, you know, because he obviously 465 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: has familiarity with the system and and Demarius Thomas. The 466 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: thing that stands out to me about Damarius Thomas is 467 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: not even about his play. Is that for a guy 468 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: to come in late after a week one and he's 469 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: wearing the sea on his chest meeting. He's a permanent 470 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: captain of this team and he's doing something right, and 471 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: the guys in the locker room love him. But I 472 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: wanted to ask you live something that EA had briefly 473 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: mentioned about Seawn Jefferson and Hines Ward. You've interviewed both 474 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: of those guys when I don't think fans see a 475 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,439 Speaker 1: lot of these guys. Obviously in person, you see him 476 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: on the sideline. They're both very animated on game days. 477 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: But how do those guys complement each other, and how 478 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: are those guys different in personality and coaching style. That's 479 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: a good question. I think, um Sean Jefferson is just 480 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: so animated, which I really love about him. He's he's 481 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: very honest and upfront with his emotions, kind of wears 482 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: his emotions on on his sleeve. But he's very vocal. 483 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: I would say, I think he's a very vocal leader. 484 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: Whereas when you look at hines Ward, he said he 485 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: approaches each player differently. He said. Some guys I can 486 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: yell at and that will motivate them, he said, but 487 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: some guys that doesn't work. He didn't name any names, 488 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: so I don't know who takes the yelling better than others. 489 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: But um, I think maybe he's a little bit more 490 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: specific in his approach, Himes Ward um into each individual player. 491 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: But Sean Jefferson, you know, he's he just I love 492 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: his approach to because he's just so authentic to himself. 493 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,239 Speaker 1: And I think the players like that because they can 494 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: trust him. You know, so very different personalities and two 495 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: totally different approaches, but it works. I have to be honest. 496 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: I was a little bit scared inside one Jets Drive 497 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: today because we did have Hines Ward in the building, 498 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 1: the former Steeler. Great of course he's there every day, 499 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: but when we bring Bart Scott into the building as well, 500 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 1: those guys have exchanged pleasantries over the years. Fortunately, uh, 501 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: that's not happening anymore. But those two would bring it 502 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: every time, and those rivalries, that rivalry between the Ravens 503 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: and Steelers very real. Love. I'd love to see Hines 504 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: Ward and Bart Scott in a room watching film of 505 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 1: old Ravens Steelers games, and just I'd want to see 506 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: it as long as they promised that they wouldn't get physical. Yeah, well, 507 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: it's funny that you said that, because actually we we 508 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: asked hines Ward about Bart Scott. He's like, you know what, 509 00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 1: um He's like me and me and Bart should be good. 510 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: We're too grown for that. So actually, because I did 511 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: um my Next Gen Stats a segment with Bart Scott 512 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 1: after I did my interview with hines Ward, I was like, hey, 513 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,679 Speaker 1: hines Hind said, let's bury the hatchet. Are you up 514 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: for that? And he was like, all right, fine, but 515 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: you know Bart, Yeah, there you go. You looked that 516 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: up YouTube later, folks, Bart Scott, hines Wards. Oh yeah, 517 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 1: they went after it over the years. Okay, let's get 518 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: to some calls. Let's start with IRA and Staten Island. Ira, 519 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: what's going on, buddy, Hey, what's happened? What's happened? Guys 520 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: over there? Hey? Good, good, everything's good. You know, just 521 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: give me an extra second in tonight. I know you've 522 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: got guys waiting, but I just have to throw this 523 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: out here. You know, I've heard a lot of negativity 524 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: on the radio today and I had to shut it off. 525 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: It's really refreshing to hear some positive stuff after we 526 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: beat the Dolphins yesterday. I'm not going to make excuses 527 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: or throw back because maybe it didn't look pretty. The 528 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: bottom line is it's hard to win in the NFL, 529 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: and we beat the Dolphins. We won our first division 530 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: game of the year, and we won four of our 531 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: last five games. I'm not gonna cry. I'm not gonna say, oh, 532 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: what was the source schedule? We played week teams? We 533 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: ended up winning four of our last five games. With 534 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: everything that has gone on, with every piece of adversity 535 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: that you could throw with Adam Gates in this coaching 536 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: tip between Sam getting sick, the fifth team players on 537 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: I multiple injuries, and look at the job that Bred 538 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: Williams has done. You guys are probably too young to 539 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: remember the movie that Dirty does. Okay, he took a 540 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: bunch of misfits and they turned him into an army unit. 541 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: You know exactly where I'm going. And that's how Greg 542 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: Williams has done with this defense. And I think they've 543 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: done a massive ol job. The whole Dolphins, the seventh 544 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: fieldgo yesterday. You know I hear people complaining, well, they 545 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: got down the field for seventh field goal. But guess what, 546 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: he kept him out of the end zone. And that's 547 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: the big story of yesterday's game. And the same thing 548 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,719 Speaker 1: with Donald. Was he perfect? No, did he make some mistakes. 549 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: The sack was a bad, but guess what he bounce 550 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: right back and he hit Montgomery with that twelve yard 551 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: If he doesn't make that play, tickets going for fifty 552 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: five yards, you'll go in tom of forty forty four 553 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: yard field though, So I'm tired of listening to old negativity. 554 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,719 Speaker 1: I get frustrated too, But listen at five and eight 555 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: with three games to go, with everything that's happened, Uh, 556 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: let's see how they finish out the year. I I 557 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: think some positive stuff the last couple of weeks. Well 558 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: thanks to recalling all right, listen, I love the positivity. 559 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: I always brings that when we look back at this season. Listen, 560 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: I know in a pressing release it's written about the 561 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: number of games the Jets have missed in terms of 562 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: the players and the seven starters on injury reserve, and 563 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: and on and on about the adversity this team has 564 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: definitely endured. But they're still going. They're five and eight, 565 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: nobody is jumping around the locker room saying we're champions. 566 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: Know exactly where they're at. And when you look back 567 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: at this season, you're probably gonna look back at a 568 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: couple of games and say, Buffalo sixteen point lead game one. 569 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: You're gonna look back at Jacksonville in December. Right now, 570 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: you're a better team than Jacksonville. When you went down 571 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: there with the situation you had, you weren't Cincinnati. You 572 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: look back at that one and say, we should have 573 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: had it. Well, what about Miami? Miami Miami the first time? 574 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: So what it could have shot up? But every team 575 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: in the National Football League can play that game. The 576 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: bottom line is you gotta finish it out. And now 577 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: with the new regime with Joe Douglas and company, you 578 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: gotta let them address where this roster is weak and 579 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: needs more adopted, needs more talent up front. They know 580 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: this is not a perfect roster. They get a lot 581 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: of work to do. And I think that a lot 582 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: of fans have faith in Joe Douglas to address the 583 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: needs upfront because you you hear about Joe Douglas and 584 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: he's a former offensive lineman and so far you know, 585 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: I mean it's a small sample size. Joe Douglas, I 586 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: think he's done a pretty good job here. And I 587 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: just want to circle back to something Irah said about 588 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: the schedule and how a lot of people point to 589 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: the Jets as opponents being weak. Well, I'm gonna steal 590 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: a phrase that's commonly used, but very commonly using the NFL. 591 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: You can control what you can control. What you can't 592 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: control is who pops up on your schedule and how 593 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: those teams performed throughout the season. I don't care if 594 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: the Jets beat the Dolphins. I don't care if the 595 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: Jets whoever the Jets beat, A win's a win. And 596 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: to IRA's point, like when you look back at the season, 597 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: it's always twenty twenty hindsight to e Ace point, But 598 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: when you look at the Jets of schedule, when we 599 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: were all looking at the schedule from week one, you're thinking, okay, 600 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: Week two, you're facing the Cleveland Browns odds on. You 601 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: know they were they were prime time. Everyone wanted to 602 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: put the Browns in the Super Bowl. The Browns haven't 603 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: lived up to that hype. So at that time, you're thinking, Okay, 604 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: the Browns are gonna be a good team the Cowboys 605 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: when the Jets played them, hot team since trailed off, 606 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: even the Eagles in Week four. The Jets were depleted 607 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: with injuries, but at that time the Eagles were a 608 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: playoff team that's dealing with some bumps in the road. 609 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: So again, every to me, every NFL season is unpredictable, 610 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: at least when you're trying to say that team is 611 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: gonna be good, that team is gonna be good. Yes, 612 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,719 Speaker 1: there's some shoeins, but more times than not, a lot 613 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: of these teams don't end up playing the way that 614 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: you think. So again, you can control what you can control. 615 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: It's not the Jets fault that they have the Bengals 616 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 1: and Dolphins and back to back weeks, and those teams 617 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: perform how they perform, and the only thing you can 618 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: focus on is getting a win that week, and the 619 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: Jets did that yesterday. I agree with that, just because 620 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: when you look at it, every game is winnable and 621 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: every game is losable, Like it is so hard to 622 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: win in the NFL. And players say this all the time, 623 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: coaches say this all the time, and I agree to 624 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: your point. It's like when you look at a schedule, 625 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: especially at the beginning of the year, you always kind 626 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: of want to make assumptions or guesses as to how 627 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: the season is going to go. Nine times out attendant 628 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: never ends up the way you think it's going to go, 629 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: and teams, like you said, are never going to play 630 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: the way you think they're not. Not only a negative 631 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: I'm not just speaking in negative terms, but positive terms 632 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: as well. It's just it's so absolutely unpredictable, and we 633 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: see it every single week, things that happened in the NFL. 634 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: You're always like, what, Yeah, Like, I don't think a 635 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: lot of people projected the forty Niners to be one 636 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: of the two top teams in the NFL at this 637 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: point in the season. I don't think so either can you. 638 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: I do think we do have to look at this 639 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: and add some perspective and say, you lined up in 640 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: your secondary yesterday. What Marcus May who is the only 641 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: Jet defensive back to have started all thirteen games now, 642 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 1: Maurice Kennedy, Nate Harriston, Rookie Bless Austin, who started the 643 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 1: year ahead and played a game since Rutgers two thousand eighteen. 644 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: Tyrone Brown, who actually got hurt yesterday, was placed on 645 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: injured reserve. I mean, you don't make apologies for what happened. 646 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: And Darryl Roberts movie again again. So you played that 647 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: game without Jamal Adams. So yeah, Miami got in the 648 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 1: red zone six times. They came away with zero touchdowns. 649 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,280 Speaker 1: All the credit to Greg Williams and those guys busting 650 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: their towels because I'll tell you what it could have 651 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 1: been worse. Philadelphia Eagles will tell you that because the 652 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:34,359 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins the week before they scored. Miami scored at 653 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: six consecutive possessions. All right, we got one more segment 654 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: on nine three, seven, seven six, We'll come right back. 655 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: You're listening to Inside the Jets on the ESPN New 656 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: York Starling hell over the backfield takes the shot, John 657 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 1: snap on first cost cropped control this, Robberson's got it 658 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,320 Speaker 1: at the pod, stills into the ends. That's a Jet touchdown. 659 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: Creativity from sand stepped up in the bucket, extended the play. 660 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: Robby Anderson came free twenty six yards tennis believe welcome 661 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: back to that Jets were broadcasting live from Vanderbilt Sports 662 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: and Spirits.

And I 674 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: saw yesterday one in the Jet game. One in the 675 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,720 Speaker 1: San Francisco game. I don't understand what I'm watching anymore. 676 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:10,240 Speaker 1: All right, the Jet game, the Chet White wide receiver 677 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: was going no. The Jet defender was guarding the Miami 678 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: wide receiver right sideline, and the ball was severely undertrone. 679 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 1: There was incidental contact, both were both the receiver and 680 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 1: the defender were bad ling a little bit hand and 681 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 1: you know, hand combat, but nothing major. But the ball 682 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,280 Speaker 1: was completely overthrowned. By seven or eight yards under throne. 683 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 1: The why deceive that had no chance to catch it. 684 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: They ran into each other and they called the flag. 685 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: Jets didn't challenge it. Nothing happened, But that was did 686 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: you know what the call I'm talking about? Yes, we do. Yeah, 687 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know about to call another game. 688 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,800 Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you as all Jets. Yesterday 689 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:48,879 Speaker 1: I saw a little bit of the Sunday night game 690 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: A right, so you agree that that was not that 691 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: should not have been a no call. Well, thanks for 692 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 1: the call, Richard Greens. I know you wanted to comment 693 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 1: on that we were talking about in the spose yesterday. 694 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: If you're Blessed, I think this is the Blessed Austin 695 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 1: playing when I don't know who the intended receiver was, 696 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 1: but Bless is almost getting hugged and he's trying to 697 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,839 Speaker 1: You know, the rule in the NFL is, if you're 698 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,959 Speaker 1: a defender, you have to look back for the ball, 699 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: and in bless Austin's case yesterday, the only way he 700 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: could look back for the ball was literally like bending 701 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: his back backwards and looking over like over his head. 702 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,800 Speaker 1: And I don't know what he's supposed to do in 703 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: that situation. But I think under the rules it's supposed 704 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: to be a defensive past interference call. I don't know, 705 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: given I don't know, given the new rules, if you 706 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: can challenge and then say that the ball was uncatchable though, well, 707 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 1: that's the thing with pass interference is a lot of 708 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 1: times to the richest point, you see the past interference 709 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:57,840 Speaker 1: flag get picked up because the ball is uncatchable. Okay, 710 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 1: where you don't see that hal But as if a 711 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 1: defensive holding, defensive holdings just five yards first down and 712 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 1: here we go. Um, yeah, listen, officiating crew. Yesterday there 713 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 1: were a couple of calls where maybe you go back 714 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 1: and look and you talked to the league about it. 715 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: And because each team every week they go back and 716 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,320 Speaker 1: watch the film, they submit a report to the league. 717 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: That's all part of the deal. Um. It's a tough job, 718 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. The big thing for a defensive back, 719 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: no matter what happens, wherever the ball is, try to 720 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 1: find it because you're not going to get the benefit 721 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 1: of the doubt nine times out of ten if you're 722 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 1: back is facing the quarterback. Yeah, I agree with that. 723 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,279 Speaker 1: And if it's the play that I'm thinking about it 724 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 1: actually happened right in front of me, and I remember 725 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 1: thinking in my head, if you're blessed, Austin, you have 726 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,839 Speaker 1: to at least try and turn as best possible, because, 727 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 1: like you said, the biggest thing on a call like 728 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 1: that is you have to make a play on the ball. 729 00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 1: And he didn't even turn. So I think that's where 730 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,839 Speaker 1: that call came in. And you know, whether you agree 731 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 1: with it or not, like you said, I think nine 732 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 1: times out of ten, the dB is not going to 733 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 1: get the benefit of the doubt. Yeah, let's move on 734 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,879 Speaker 1: here and go to East Haven. Gary, you're on the line. 735 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 1: All right, Listen, guys, you have a great show. I 736 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 1: love this and you know, with rich Richard Manhattan, I 737 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,839 Speaker 1: call it grew in the host with Richard Manhattan. Um, 738 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,840 Speaker 1: you guys, I'm a big Jet fan. I moved up 739 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 1: to East Haven. I know it's I'm in bed territory 740 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,840 Speaker 1: up there. But still the thing with the thing with 741 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,239 Speaker 1: the Jets, man, I always emphasize the offensive line. I 742 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 1: talk about it, and I just don't want to be 743 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 1: on two on those shows any But I found out 744 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 1: about you guys from Jonathan Freeman Show Talking Sports. He 745 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: talks about you guys. He's a big Jet fan and 746 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,919 Speaker 1: he loves it, and that's how I found out about 747 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 1: the show. And I'm hooked on with Jet fan. I mean, 748 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 1: talking sports with Jonathan Freeman is a great show, but 749 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 1: talking to Jets, you need ira from Coney Island to 750 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: the island which one and Stanton right right, there's an 751 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 1: island there, even though he's halfhim, already an islands Like, so, 752 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,719 Speaker 1: what do you got with the offensive line? The offensive 753 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: line is Listen, you know you really can't. To me, 754 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,879 Speaker 1: you cannot evaluate a quarterback to get him an offensive line, 755 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: because you can still tell if you can get the 756 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 1: ball out to the receivers. It's nice to have good receivers, 757 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 1: but without that offensive line, that that's the that's the 758 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,879 Speaker 1: genesis of the offense. That's when you move it. That's 759 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,239 Speaker 1: how you can evaluate this guy and really know how 760 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,359 Speaker 1: good of a quarterback you are. When you have four 761 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,240 Speaker 1: under pound lineman sitting on your head, it's very difficult 762 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:34,920 Speaker 1: to do an evaluation. Thanks for the calling, Gary, I think, 763 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: well one we talked about a little bit. I think 764 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,480 Speaker 1: we all are in agreement here, Eric Olivia and myself 765 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 1: that Joe Douglas will address the offensive line moving forward, 766 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 1: and one about the Jets offensive line this year. I 767 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,440 Speaker 1: mean they might be the position group that's been decimated 768 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,719 Speaker 1: by injuries. Most they've had somebody start. They've had at 769 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,720 Speaker 1: least two players start across the line at each position, 770 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: and some positions have had three players when you think 771 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 1: about left tackle Calvin Beecham, Brandon Shell, and Shuma Adoga. 772 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 1: I mean, the Jets have been decimated by injuries. And 773 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 1: I know it's still the regular season, but if you're 774 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 1: looking ahead to April and the draft, this is, as 775 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,279 Speaker 1: it stands, a very good draft pack draft class for 776 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 1: offensive tackles, So you know there's a lot there's a 777 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 1: lot of players, depth, and a lot of talent the 778 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 1: Jets can add in free agency and then the same 779 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 1: thing in the draft. I thought the offensive line actually 780 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 1: had a bounce back game against Miami after a tough 781 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 1: showing against the Bengals. Blah Paul ran for a team 782 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,840 Speaker 1: high seventy four yards on nineteen carries. I like the volume, 783 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 1: two thirty two carries and all for a hundred and 784 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 1: twelve yards. And Sam Donald is a very effect of 785 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 1: play action pass or it's going to be a monstrous 786 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: dust for this team. UM in Baltimore Thursday night, short week, 787 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 1: but uh, Ethan, thank you so much for filling in 788 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 1: for Eric Coleman Olivia.
