WEBVTT - Listen: Inside the Jets (12/9) 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.800 Welcome to Inside the Jets, where broadcasting live from Vanderbilt 0:00:02.800 --> 0:00:06.080 Sports and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel. The 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.160 schedule is impacting everyone because Eric Coleman is not here, 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:15.160 but uh, one of my colleagues, Ethan Greenberg, has come 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:17.800 to Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits, and we'll also be joined 0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:22.720 later by the multe talented Olivia Landis as well. But 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:26.680 first off, Green's welcome back to Vandy's. Thank you. I 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.200 appreciate that my biceps are not quite as big as 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:32.960 Eric Coleman's, but hopefully I feel his shoes just fine. Okay, 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:35.240 we'll get you on the program. And since we are 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:39.199 live tonight, we're actually gonna be taking folks calls. So 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:42.080 it's eight nine one nine three, seven seven six, So 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:46.479 get in. Let's talk some Jets football. Ethan, what do 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:49.080 you think about the green and white the five games stretch. 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:51.000 A lot of people were looking at it and saying, 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.320 this is time for the Jets to do some damage, 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:59.240 and they actually one four out of five, capturing a 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:03.880 come from behind contests last year yesterday against Miami Dolphins. Well, 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:06.040 I think one, it doesn't really matter who you play 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.040 in the NFL. Four to five is four to five, 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:10.959 and I think obviously the one that sticks out is 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.440 the loss because the Bengals were winless. But yesterday the 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.800 Jets did a good job on battling back and winning 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:18.520 that game. And yes, they were helped out by a 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:21.720 defensive pass interference call on the last right, which I'm 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.640 sure we'll talk about later on. But I really think 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:28.240 that yesterday's game showed something if you're a Jets fan, 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.320 because Sam Donald was not his best yesterday. The offense 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:33.839 was stale in the second half after coming out hot, 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.759 getting a sixteen to six lead in the first half, 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:38.840 and that did not find the end zone in the 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:42.080 final two quarters. Jets still found a way to win. 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.720 And you put the ball in Sam Donald's hands and 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.200 he made it. He made it happen. Yes, Vincent Smith 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.040 had a thirty seven yard pitch and catch, but that's 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.600 part of the game, and I think he's encouraging sign 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:54.760 for the job. They beat a quarter blitz and and 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.280 in terms of Sam Donald, that was this twenty third 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.480 start in the National Football League. His third had come 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:05.440 from behind victory in the fourth quarter. No apologies necessary 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.240 in the National Football League. Listen that would have been 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.160 a tough defeat. Like you mentioned, they at a ten 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.400 point lead in the second quarter, but they found a 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:17.360 way to win. After a very tough loss against the 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.679 Cincinnati Bengals, I know a lot of people were thinking, well, 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:23.280 maybe you get to Baltimore and the Thursday Night showdown 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:27.080 with the Ravens at six and seven. Instead the Jets 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:31.359 five and eight, missing the postseason for a ninth consecutive year. 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:36.600 But I would like to reiterate that Joe Douglas took 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.840 over as general manager of this team in June. He 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:44.280 is never went through an off season here as the 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:47.560 football architect of this team. So a lot of work 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.840 yet to be done, a lot left to play for. 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:54.079 And the Jets were three and one in the third 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.639 quarter of the schedule they start the fourth quarter or 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.760 their schedule one and all did I was thinking about 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.440 this just a couple of hours ago. Did yesterday's game 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:07.840 feel anything like exactly a year ago in Buffalo Jets 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:13.200 built Really? I looked at the stats, and I'm asking 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:14.839 you if it felt the same. It felt the same 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:16.840 for me, because I don't think the Jets played their 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.239 best football last year in Buffalo. They came out with 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.600 a win. Same thing yesterday AFC East opponent. Yes, this 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:26.239 game was at home. Last year, the Jets won a 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.120 come from behind victory. Eli McGuire punched it in to 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.280 the end zone on fourth and one and the Jets 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:37.360 last drive nine plays, sixty one yards. They scored touchdown yesterday, 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:41.119 What was it for? I'm sorry? Last year? Seven play 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:45.720 forty one yard? The key play is down the sidelines. 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:51.400 Who who again? Is scorching hot in December? But yesterday 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.120 it felt like the Bills game, and it felt like 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.000 it was another notch on Sam's belt that you if 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.880 you're Jets fan, you're encouraged to see that type of performance, 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.680 at least late in the game. I understand he didn't 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.800 have his best game statistically passing the ball. He threw 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:07.560 a pick that was you know, I think it was 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.040 an ill advised throw. But at the end of the day, 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:13.560 he led the team down to be in a position 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:15.960 for Sam picking a kick a game winning field goal. Well, 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.200 and we do have to say that Adam Gay said 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.040 he did not put Sam Donald in a good spot 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:25.760 on that interception. And again, listen, you want players to 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.000 make plays when the game is on the line. Did 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.760 the Jets get good fortune with the past interference call. Well, 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.680 it depends how you look at it, because the bottom 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:37.440 line was that was a past interference by the book. 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:42.920 That's why officials overturned the note call. We were talking 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.600 about in the press box and wondering, Okay, where's the 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:49.240 league gonna go with this one? Obviously it was there. 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.440 Early makes the play on Vincent Smith cornerback Nick need 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.680 him and that's all Sam Donald the company needed. He 0:04:55.720 --> 0:05:00.240 throws the short ball to Tie Montgomery. Sam Ficking ice 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.280 water in his veins, forty four yards drilling and Sam 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.920 Ficken he missed an extra point earlier in the game, 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.760 so to have a a shot at redemption is something 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:12.960 that he said that he was actually very much looking 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.599 forward to. He said it was the best kick of 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.159 his pro career. I mean, Sam Ficken is somebody that's 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:20.400 bounced around the NFL from a couple of different teams, 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.920 finds a home with the Jets after the Jets had 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.200 their own kicking struggles in the beginning of the season, 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:29.680 and Sam Ficken he's no stranger to game winning field 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.039 goals and when you look at his career, Penn State 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.200 struggled as a freshman. I mean Sam Ficken received death 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.279 threats his freshman year in college in Happy Valley, and 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.880 then his senior year kicks a game winner here at 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.480 Yankee Stadium in the Pin Stripe Bowl to give Penn 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:48.039 State to win. So, uh, Sam Ficken has um experienced 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.000 under pressure. I think a lot of kickers do in 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:53.360 different degrees throughout their career. But I think that's something 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.520 that will only boost the confidence of Sam Ficken moving 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.119 forward over the last or the next three games. Should 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.920 I say inside the Jets is supported by selective insurance, 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:07.120 be uniquely insured. Eric On alongside Ethan Greenberg later will 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.919 be joined by Olivia Landis, who actually wrote about the 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.719 very hot Robbie Anderson yesterday. You can read that on 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.120 New York Jets dot com. But Greens, let's get to 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:22.320 the past interference call, the vice senior vice president of 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.120 officiating said after the game. After we look at it, 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:27.560 we get a couple of replays which show us that 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.400 it's clear and obvious that the defender grabs the receiver 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:34.960 by his shoulder and significantly hinders him before the ball arrives. 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.599 Vincent Smith after his thirty five the thirty seven yard 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:43.200 catching run said about need Hum, he came up on 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:45.000 me and grabbed my right arm. I knew it was 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:48.400 passing interference from the beginning. I had another one in 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.720 the beginning of the game they didn't call. I think 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.680 Sam Donald said the same thing though, he said he 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:55.320 let go of the ball and he thought it was 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.359 passing interference when he saw Needham rip the right shoulder. 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.560 I don't think that it's a question, at least for 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:02.400 us when we were in the press box. I don't 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.680 think we were questioning is it or is it not 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.960 pass interference? The question was will they or will they 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:11.960 not overturn it? Because the narrative so far this season, 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.520 it's been hard to get a read on what the 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:18.640 league has or has not overturned. And I think it 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.160 was the right call. I mean, you clearly see Vincent 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.760 Smith's shoulder get ripped around before the ball made it 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.239 to Smith and tough drive for need Him not only 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.520 for the pass interference call, but a couple of plays 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.120 before on the Smith catch and run. Need Him is 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.720 the guy coming off the corner on the blitz and 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:41.560 barely misses batting down Sam Donald's pass. Actually need Him 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.240 came off the blitz earlier in the game and knocked down. 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.520 We're gonna be taking calls later on and said the 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:54.720 Jets seven seven six. But Green's Jets travel to Baltimore Wednesday. 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:59.160 They line up against perhaps the NFL's most complete team, 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:03.800 the Baltimore are Ravens Thursday night in what should be 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:08.800 a raucous atmosphere. But how is the schedule change? Back 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.960 across the street at One Jets Drive, because Adam Gaze 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:15.080 addressed the media on a conference call today, as did 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.680 a few players. Because the schedules being changed because it's 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:22.080 a short week, you basically have two days of work 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:26.040 and the Jets aren't really getting in a typical practice. No, 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.160 they're not putting on shoulder pads or helmets. They're going 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.240 through two days of walkthroughs. And Adam Gaze said that 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.920 every year since Thursday Night Football has been implemented, he's 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:39.800 done something different to try to basically improve the health 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.079 of his team, whether it's in Miami or here. And 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:44.680 the Jets have been banged up all season. We know 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:47.280 this from the get from week one, even the preseason 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.200 when Avery Williamson went down untill now. The Jets are 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:53.120 second in the NFL or war at least entering Sunday's 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.760 game in the amount of players that they've used on 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.000 a game day, and I think I believe the number 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:02.280 was sixty eight different players. Well, well, here's the other thing, 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.680 is they line up against the Miami Dolphins without their 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:10.960 best overall player, star safety Jamal Adams, and also without 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:17.000 their top yardage leader in terms of um from scrimmage 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.320 in levy On Bell. So both of those guys didn't 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.800 line up against the Dolphins, you were still able to 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.320 get out of there. And Gaze said, in terms of 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.760 those two guys, Levan Bell had the flu he's close 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:32.480 to and Adam Gates wouldn't say if he will in 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:36.120 fact play Thursday, but he said things are lining towards 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.000 that direction now and he was supposed to be back 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.400 in the building. He's not contagious anymore. I think he'll 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.520 be there for the walkthrough tonight. Now the walkthrough is 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:47.600 tonight because Adam Gates wants the players to get used 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:52.400 to practicing at night because it's Thursday night football. And 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.080 in terms of Jamal Adams and will he or will 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.360 he not play on Thursday, I think it's obvious that 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.360 Jamal wants to play. You kind of got a sense 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.640 when Adam Gates was talking to reporters. Interesting comma, but 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:07.440 we know what Jamal wants. But Adam said that it's 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:11.199 not really up to Jamal because Jamal will will sacrifice 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.000 himself to go out there and play against Lamar Jackson 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.280 and the Baltimore Ravens. I mean, this is this is 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:17.960 a game. If you're a competitor, you want to be 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.000 out there, and this will be in the hands of 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:24.480 the trainers, the doctors, Adam Gates and Joe Douglas, and 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.360 Adam Gates basically said, if it's not right for Jamal, 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:30.320 we have to do what's best for him. Even even 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.360 if Jamal really wants to go out there, he's gonna 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:33.920 want to hold him back and make sure he's a 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:39.400 thousand percent because Jamal only knows one speed. YEP. So 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.079 many things to get to in terms of injuries. Because 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.960 Ryan Griffin went out against the Dolphins, so the Jets 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:51.600 were lining up in their eleven personnel with Daniel Brown 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:56.280 was the guy predominantly against Miami. We saw the rookie 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.520 tray Von west Goal getting in there when they went 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.800 to multiple tight on set, and you can't say enough 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.920 about Greg Williams and we're gonna talk about him later 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:09.040 and what that mash unit did against the Dolphins bend 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:14.240 but didn't break. But they have a totally different challenge 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:18.880 against Lamar Jackson and company. And speaking of Lamar Jackson, 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.160 apparently he's day to day with the quad. We'll see. Yeah, 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:24.920 he was limited in practice, but again the Ravens didn't 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:28.800 practice either. As a walkthrough, Mark Andrews did not practice 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.120 or would not have practiced, and staying with same with 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:35.560 Ronnie Stanley. So if Andrews and Stanley alone can't play, 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.280 I mean, that would be big news for the Jets. Yeah, 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:41.160 we'll see what happens. But uh eight nine one, nine three, seven, 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:44.079 seven six, we're gonna come right back with Olivia Atlantis. 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.920 You are listening to Inside the Jets on ESPN New 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:56.240 York forty four yards away for Ficking to try and 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.360 win it kind of behold about, it's pretty spot kick 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:04.400 on my way.

Eric Allen, Ethan Greenberg here at Vanbelle 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:34.559 Sports and Spirits and now our player guest segment is 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.760 presented by M and T Bank, the official community bank 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.439 of your New York Jets. Instead of a player, I 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:44.200 wand up ourselves this week because we've brought in our colleague, 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:47.400 the multi talented Olivia Atlantis. Give her, give her a 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.920 right applause. Thank you guys, Thank you for having me. 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:53.439 I really appreciate it. Oh, you're gonna do good. So 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.520 where were you when Sam Ficken hit the forty four 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.719 yard field goal? Because you actually are all over the 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.120 place on game day and I wanted to know where 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.880 you took it in because I don't even know that answer. Yeah. 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:11.600 So I was actually close to the thirty yard line. Um. 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:15.080 Me and our executive producer Chris Gardana, we were sitting 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.680 there on the sideline watched it. I remember literally turning 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.280 to one of our coworkers and think, oh my gosh, 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:25.160 I can't I can't watch, but I did so. Yeah, 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.120 I was close to the thirty yard line. And watched 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.240 that so pretty sweet. So what changes for you in 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:34.640 terms of, Okay, ficking makes it take me three responsibilities 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.840 at that moment, what do you gotta do? Well? After 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:38.800 he makes it and we know that it's a win, 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.040 we always do and as you guys know, we always 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:45.120 do a postgame interview live on the JumboTron with a 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:49.400 player as soon as the Jets win. So immediately me 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.520 and Chris Gargana were already like, Okay, what do we want? 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:53.920 Who are we gonna get? We knew we're gonna get 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.720 Marcus May at that point because you know he's standing 0:13:56.760 --> 0:14:00.320 tall in a depleted secondary. So right then in there, 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.640 we're getting ready and prepared to have like a thirty 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.160 second turnaround because we're rushing onto the field and then 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.959 snagging Marcus May as soon as we can. That was 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.240 probably the easiest get for you in terms of getting 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:15.000 the market because sometimes he's very evasive in the locker room, 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.440 and you both know that, right he can be evasive. 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.080 He seemed very he was very happy after that ball 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:24.560 game any reasons, very very happy, and like you said, 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:28.360 it was awesome to finally get him because I remember, actually, Ethan, 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.800 you can attest to this. At one point um in 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.120 the locker room this season, Marcus is like, all right, 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.080 you guys can't get me until week twelve for an interview. 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:37.960 And we're like, okay, fine, I come up to a 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:42.000 week twelve and like, hey, we took we took note 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.720 that Marcus said week twelve because there's no way Marcus 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.000 would have remembered that, but there's a very good chance 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:50.880 that we would have remembered that. Listen, Marcus may great dude, 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.520 hard to depend down sometimes, but when you have a 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.040 conversation with him, he's great. One of the one of 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:57.600 the best guys in the locker room. Was not out 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.360 about it, and he's a Florda Gator, So okay, that 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:04.360 gives them the edge. Just going off this um off 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:07.400 of what he was saying, not only at the end 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.800 of the game, like what are your game day responsibilities? 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.360 And you start in the press box, you go down 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:14.960 to the field, you basically have two homes on game day, 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:19.680 So what are your different responsibilities at home? So home 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.720 games are always super crazy, but it's a lot of fun. 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:26.720 They kind of differ um depending which week it is. 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.800 But to give a kind of overall what I basically 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:33.360 do is I will shoot pre game you know, pre 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.840 game Central presented by Pepsi, You and Anthony Bet. I'll 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:39.840 shoot my Island hits before then. Sorry, guys, spoiler alert 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.640 that one's not necessarily live. Shoot that one beforehand, so 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:46.280 that I always have to do a few hours before 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.520 the game starts, and then by the time I get back, 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.000 I usually find you and then you and I have 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.440 to do Keys to the game, which we do right 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:57.640 by the MetLife Gate entrance, which is always really cool. Um, 0:15:57.840 --> 0:15:59.240 there's one game left, if you guys want to come 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.480 watch that. We need we need some love at the 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.480 Keys of the game. We need some love, right yeah, 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:06.920 right at the MetLife Gay entrance. That's me and Ethan 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:10.400 Greenberg right there on that big stage and we're yeah, 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:14.080 you can't miss us, you can't, really can't, but yeah, 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.440 but you don't like to stop. So I think it's 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.640 fascinating because you're doing like triple duty because then you're 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.120 in the press box for a little bit, but you 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.400 it's kickoff. You were actually down on the field for 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:29.360 most of the first half because you talked to a 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:32.640 couple alarms, I believe, and then also a couple of 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:37.040 youth football players. Yeah, yeah, those were really funny. So, um, 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.000 I don't usually do that, but yeah, like you guys said, so, 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.280 I was on the field for the entire first half 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:46.000 of the game, interviewed w w E legend mcfooley. I 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.040 didn't grow up watching w w E. But it was 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.800 pretty cool because everybody in the in the stands seems 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:53.640 to know who he was. I was going to say 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:55.560 in the press box, people in the press box know 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:59.640 who he is. Yeah. And then I interviewed um Laverne Coles, 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:03.240 which was really cool. We talked about his Monday Night 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:08.160 miracle game and that reception. Um So, that was really sweet. 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.520 That was actually his first career touchdown catch, which came 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:13.919 in two thousands, which was really cool. Um. And then 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.040 after that, uh, like you said, I interviewed a couple 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.320 of youth football players and those are always really interesting 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:22.760 to interview the little kids because you know, kids are 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:25.119 so honest and you never know what they're actually going 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:27.600 to say when you interview them. Um. So I had 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.199 to make sure that they were Jets fans, so when 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.760 I interviewed them. So then you roll up, I believe, 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:38.119 and then after the game you start penning a piece 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:42.720 on Robbie Anderson. What do you think about Robbie Anderson, 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:47.000 Like Green's mentioned in our first segment here, he's streaking 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:49.400 again in December. What do you make of the connection, 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:51.800 because that's what you used in the headline, that connection 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.119 that he has with Sam Donald. Yeah. So I actually 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:57.240 was able to talk to Robbie Anderson after the game, 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.720 and something really interesting that he said and I wrote 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.720 about this, like you mentioned, was that they don't prepare 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:07.040 obviously any differently than they would in practice. So he's 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:08.720 said that they were just taking what they were doing 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:12.000 in practice translating onto the field game day. But what 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.000 really stood out to me was when he was talking 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:17.560 about his connection heating up with Sam Donald, and he 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:22.679 mentioned how he just feels like Sam now trusts Robbie 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:24.560 enough to where he he's just going to give the 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:26.200 ball to him and let him do his thing. So, 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:30.679 like you guys already said, three plus receiving yard games 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:34.639 and Sam Donald not only talks about it yesterday, but 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.040 he also talks about it today on player conference calls. 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:40.119 He was really just talking about how Robbie when he 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.000 gets hot and he gets rolling, they go with it 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:46.320 and we saw that yesterday, So yeah, I think Robbie 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.800 is on a hot streaking you you mentioned this, you 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:53.680 you said the colder it gets the hotter up Anderson. Statistically, 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:57.600 when you look at Robbie's numbers throughout his four year 0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:01.000 career or three plus year career, his best numbers are 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:04.240 in December and last year in weeks thirteen to seventeen, 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:08.200 he was eight in the NFL with three four receiving yards. 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:10.760 That's really when Robbie and Sam's connection took off. And 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:14.600 I think what you just said that it intrigues me 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.040 that Sam Donald is at the point where he just 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:21.680 trusts Robbie because you you've seen it in glimpses where 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:24.440 Robby Anderson of course is coming over the middle more. 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.480 But he's really had a lot of tough catches and 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.560 one that stands out against the Raiders on the trick play, 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:35.160 the end around flee flicker like Robbie had to catch 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.800 the ball over the defender, and against the Bengals last 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.600 week he got cracked over the middle, hung onto the ball. 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.119 Even yesterday against the Dolphins, I thought there were a 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:49.480 number of catches that were difficult catches that Robby Anderson 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:51.120 ended up with the ball. And I'm sure you talked 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.840 about that with Hines Ward. Yeah, I I did. And 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:56.639 just actually building off of that. UM. One other thing 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.280 I wanted to mention. Sam Donald said it yesterday post game. 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:03.880 He said, oftentimes Robbie Anderson gets cloud coverage and that's 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:05.640 you know, when the safety comes over the top because 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:08.520 of how fast he is. And so he said, that's 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:11.760 why a lot of times this season maybe the stats 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:14.320 haven't been showing up on the stats sheet, it's because 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:17.159 of the coverage that defenses are providing on him. So 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:20.960 I think, you know, it's a good point. Listen, that's 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.560 gonna dictate where Sam Donald's gonna go with the football. 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:28.639 The more attention Robbie gets, the more bald distribution goes elsewhere. 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:33.120 But Adam Gaze has said, this guy is super aggressive 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:35.679 with the ball. He tracks the long ball better than 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:38.800 perhaps anybody in the National Football League. You both have 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:43.480 mentioned the expansion of the route tree for Robbie Anderson. 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:46.600 We're seeing a lot of crossing routes in this offense. 0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:51.440 UM Adam Gaze's offense with Robbie Anderson. His toughness has 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:56.000 been showcased over the last couple of weeks especially and 0:20:56.359 --> 0:21:00.119 deep ends making the catches and if you play one 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:04.240 on one against him, fourteen is gonna find him. And 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:07.800 we saw that last December. We're starting to see it again. 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:11.720 And oh boy to the New York Jets needed Thursday 0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:14.720 night against the Baltimore Ravens because we can get into 0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:18.440 that match up later. But Baltimore has one of the 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:22.359 best group of cornerbacks in the National Football League. I 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:26.080 want to get into You're sit down with Hindes ward 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:31.240 because the week following the Jets in Baltimore Ravens, Jets 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:34.639 are going peck to Pittsburgh and Hines Warden knows a 0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:38.159 little bit about the Steelers. But we're gonna come right back. 0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:40.440 You've got a little time. I have a little time, okay, 0:21:40.520 --> 0:21:42.080 So we'll come right back on the other side of 0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:45.679 the Lovingtlantis. We're gonna talk more Jets Ravens football. We're 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:48.120 gonna get to your calls. I gotta get to IRA 0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:51.800
