Speaker 1: Last week you were in Baltimore for the errand of
Speaker 1: the podcast. What do you think about the new studio?
Speaker 2: I like it, man, this is this is like Dateline
Speaker 2: slash meets You know what I'm saying, Like, who wants
Speaker 2: to be a millionaire?
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, Katie did a nice shoving her.
Speaker 2: She did that definitely has a woman's touch. I know,
Speaker 2: ain't no man did this alright?
Speaker 1: So Jets Titans this week bounce back mode for Green
Speaker 1: and White, no doubt about that. The Titans looking for
Speaker 1: their first victory. What do you do in terms of
Speaker 1: being here at one Jets drive from a player and
Speaker 1: coaches perspective, because you just played one of the top
Speaker 1: teams in the National Football League. You didn't play anywhere
Speaker 1: close to your standard. It's so early in the season
Speaker 1: and this is a totally different opponent.
Speaker 2: But is good though when you if you're going to
Speaker 2: have a loss like that, you wanted to be game one,
Speaker 2: right because, like now, you really got the attention of
Speaker 2: your team and they're coming in and sometimes when you win,
Speaker 2: and it's things that can make you lose that get
Speaker 2: swept under the rug. But everybody has to take accountability,
Speaker 2: especially on the defensive side of the ball. The offense,
Speaker 2: you know, they need rhythm and timing. They didn't get
Speaker 2: enough opportunities. But why didn't they get enough opportunities because
Speaker 2: the defense couldn't get off the field. You got to
Speaker 2: take that personal because it wasn't anything that was schematic.
Speaker 2: It was just a physical butt kicking and you have
Speaker 2: to look yourself in the mirror and say, man, I hope,
Speaker 2: I hope you know that I see those guys, I
Speaker 2: hope I see them in the Super Bowl and they
Speaker 2: think it's going to be the same type of thing,
Speaker 2: and you know, you take it personal. And when the
Speaker 2: standard has been so high here, so I don't I
Speaker 2: don't know where that day ranks as far as the
Speaker 2: most rushing yards that the Jets have ever given up,
Speaker 2: but it's got to be up there as far as
Speaker 2: recent years. One hundred and eighty yards rushing on you,
Speaker 2: and you know you got to take that, you know, personal.
Speaker 2: So I think they went back and they probably gonna
Speaker 2: have some tough film study. And I know sometimes sometimes
Speaker 2: you hope, like I don't know, if you ever like
Speaker 2: you know, has had acted up at school, and you
Speaker 2: know that the teacher gonna call and you're hoping that
Speaker 2: you can be home so you can intercept the call,
Speaker 2: or she forget to call, or your mom's at home
Speaker 2: or something like that. But like you hope on a
Speaker 2: short week when you have a when you get beat
Speaker 2: like that, you hope that you don't watch the film.
Speaker 2: And sometimes on the short week you like returning the page.
Speaker 2: This isn't one of those turning page. These are teachable
Speaker 2: moments because if you don't fix it. In the NFL,
Speaker 2: you're gonna see the same type of things and people
Speaker 2: are going to try and figure out how they can
Speaker 2: do the same thing with the personnel group and that
Speaker 2: they have. So if you don't fix it and have those
Speaker 2: conversations about what is expected when we are attacked like this,
Speaker 2: then you're doing to repeat it.
Speaker 1: So actually week one you think can be beneficial for
Speaker 1: the Jets in the long term.
Speaker 2: Well, I think you have to take the you have
Speaker 2: to take the lesson and you ask yourself, well, that's
Speaker 2: San Francisco. They're the best team, one of the best
Speaker 2: teams in the NFL. They've been doing it for a
Speaker 2: long time. Shanahan the history of his dad, the people
Speaker 2: off that running tree. All they do is run the
Speaker 2: ball and they know how to run the ball creatively.
Speaker 2: But I think you lost to an NFC opponent. Yep,
Speaker 2: But that gives you an opportunity to see how McDaniels
Speaker 2: is going to attack you because he has the same
Speaker 2: type of weapons and he has he doesn't have a
Speaker 2: undrafted guy. He has three or four guys that can
Speaker 2: that can do that, and that can instead of getting
Speaker 2: ten to twelve that can get home runs, hit their
Speaker 2: head on the goal post and that's how you're probably
Speaker 2: gonna get attacked. So I much rather you give up
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty to the San Francisco than give
Speaker 2: up one hundred and eighty to Miami because they have
Speaker 2: the same similar run game, similar personnel. They got Ingle, right,
Speaker 2: they got you got youth check, they have youth check,
Speaker 2: they got Ingle you know, they have you know, Mozart,
Speaker 2: they got a chance. So and plus they got something
Speaker 2: that San Francisco don't have. It's Tyreek Hill. So now
Speaker 2: I'm glad that you got that lesson because now if
Speaker 2: that same running style comes to you, you've already addressed it.
Speaker 1: And it's not a surprise the copycat league. But Tennessee
Speaker 1: does not have the personnel that San Francisco does and
Speaker 1: that's not a shot at Tennessee. They they got some dudes,
Speaker 1: So we could play what are they going to try
Speaker 1: to do up front after watching the film what San
Speaker 1: Francisco did, because it like we say, styles make fights
Speaker 1: and this is a completely different team.
Speaker 2: Well what did San Francisco do? Like in a nutshell
Speaker 2: like not okay? What did they do? Literally? Like okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: they ran the ball right, They played keep away from
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers in that offense and then allowed to establish
Speaker 2: a rhythm and they were able to get some turnovers
Speaker 2: early on, which dis erupted that rhythm. We saw when
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers and that offense got a rhythm, what they're
Speaker 2: capable of, you know, twelve play drive, Aaron Rodgers catching
Speaker 2: you and defenses and figuring out what it is and
Speaker 2: switching plays and getting to a line of scrimmage. Early
Speaker 2: We saw what they can do and they get opportunities.
Speaker 2: And that's what you want to do if you're going
Speaker 2: to play this Jets team. It stop them from getting opportunities.
Speaker 2: How do you do that by running the football. So yeah,
Speaker 2: they may you know, run the football in a different manner,
Speaker 2: but Bill Callahan will have a plan for schematically how
Speaker 2: to try and outflank you, because I think they believe,
Speaker 2: or they should understand that they don't have the personnel
Speaker 2: to beat the Jets physically, but can I beat them
Speaker 2: schematically where I can use a guy like Pollard who
Speaker 2: is a different type of back. Right, this guy was
Speaker 2: downhill and all that stuff. This is a back in
Speaker 2: Pollard who is a guy that when he was in
Speaker 2: Dallas was averaging six seven yards of carry coming in
Speaker 2: with explosive plays because he can get through the scenes
Speaker 2: and get to the second level really really fast. So
Speaker 2: you know, my goal will be winning the day on
Speaker 2: first and second down. And if I have to, you know,
Speaker 2: put the heavy lifted on a guy like Sauce and say, hey, man, listen,
Speaker 2: they got a stud receiver over there, and see if
Speaker 2: that used to be a Stubb receiver that's trying to
Speaker 2: get his way back from from injury. We're gonna be
Speaker 2: heavy in this box and we're gonna make sure that
Speaker 2: teams aren't successful on us on first and second down.
Speaker 2: And that may mean early Yeah, well, I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get I'm not gonna give a lot of
Speaker 2: room right, And you know, I'm putting that eighth man
Speaker 2: in the box, and I'm being aggressive because I need
Speaker 2: to get a young quarterback and Will Levis behind the
Speaker 2: sticks so that he can feel the pressure and so
Speaker 2: that when I open up my menu, I can get
Speaker 2: from the lunch menu, I get breakfast and dinner all day. Right,
Speaker 2: you don't want them. And that was the problem that
Speaker 2: Jets were in such a bad position when you get
Speaker 2: to third and medium or third and short, that you
Speaker 2: give the offense ability to be able to do too
Speaker 2: many different things and you can't prepare for all of them.
Speaker 1: What's the change right now for the Jets with no
Speaker 1: John Franklin Myers, you know, Huff signs the lucre to
Speaker 1: deal with the Philadelphia Eagles to sign Reddicks. Still not here.
Speaker 1: Specifically at the edge spot.
Speaker 2: Well, the edge spot was one thing I thought repeatedly.
Speaker 2: They lost their edge too often. I saw Jermaine and
Speaker 2: you know sometimes Madonnald was physically, you know, taking advantage
Speaker 2: of or or push off the line of scrimmage, and
Speaker 2: Jermaine was trying to be so physical that he lost
Speaker 2: his eyes. When you're rushing on the edge, you're set
Speaker 2: in the edge. You have to look through the V.
Speaker 2: We call it the V of the offensive lineman's neck
Speaker 2: right looking over his shoulder, because you have to see him,
Speaker 2: but look past him as well, because that tells you
Speaker 2: what you have to do if you have to disengage
Speaker 2: or you continue trying to get knock him back.
Speaker 1: So you can get caught up at a moment, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was.
Speaker 2: He was trying to say, listen, this is Trent Williams.
Speaker 2: He's one of the best in the business. He ain't
Speaker 2: gonna punk me. Let me show you I can put
Speaker 2: heavy hands on him. And a lot of times Trent
Speaker 2: just caught him and said, listen, youngster, I ain't been
Speaker 2: in training camp. I'm tired of hell. That's why I
Speaker 2: when got an IV. I'm gonna go ahead and let
Speaker 2: you do the work for me. If you want to
Speaker 2: try and push me back two or three yard, that
Speaker 2: takes no energy for me. You know, if you really
Speaker 2: want to put pressure on guy like trem when you
Speaker 2: gotta work his edges to make him, have to use
Speaker 2: his feet. And you know that's something that Jermaine has
Speaker 2: to learn that. You know, you have to rush through
Speaker 2: the person, but you got to convert on pass, but
Speaker 2: when you're trying to get knock him back, you can't physically.
Speaker 2: It's impossible for you to push a guy like that
Speaker 2: back like that. You push him by threatening to beat
Speaker 2: him around the corner and he'll he'll move for you,
Speaker 2: and then you rush him and you can push him
Speaker 2: back one or two steps. You're not gonna take a
Speaker 2: guy like Trent Williams say I'm a long arm, stab
Speaker 2: him and push him back five yards. I mean, check
Speaker 2: his resume. It's plenty of guys that had a better
Speaker 2: resume than you, that had different, you know, moves and
Speaker 2: not saying that you're not a good player, but you're
Speaker 2: not there yet. He's done it with the best of them.
Speaker 1: So setting the edge against the run, the Jets gotta
Speaker 1: win early downs in this game. Specifically when you talk
Speaker 1: about will love this because if you put him in
Speaker 1: third down situations, you have an opportunity to get to
Speaker 1: the quarterback correct or.
Speaker 2: He'll throw you one yeah, or he'll do something crazy
Speaker 2: because he especially if you're able to listen. He had.
Speaker 2: He let the Chicago Bears back in the game by
Speaker 2: that crazy interception, but they were winning. Could you imagine
Speaker 2: the stress and the rest that he's under if they're losing.
Speaker 2: So it's your job to make sure that you get
Speaker 2: the young fellow behind the sticks, because you know, he's
Speaker 2: trying to impress a new team, new offense as well,
Speaker 2: so he's trying to learn. So it's early on. He
Speaker 2: doesn't have.
Speaker 1: A full there's some Titans fans calling for Mason Rudolph already.
Speaker 2: Right, so I mean just because they want somebody that's
Speaker 2: veteran that you don't have, Like, Okay, we're in chapter
Speaker 2: one of the install for the offense because we can't
Speaker 2: go deep because he's this is his second offense and
Speaker 2: it's the first game of the season. They don't even
Speaker 2: know what he does well right and how he reacts,
Speaker 2: so they're still trying to do a fill out process.
Speaker 2: When on our side, the advantages Aaron Rodgers, they know
Speaker 2: what he can do. I think the guys are starting
Speaker 2: to learn. Hey, the nuance, the small things. He made
Speaker 2: it through a game, and he looked he looked vintage
Speaker 2: at times to me, looked a little rusty at sometimes.
Speaker 2: And when I say russy for Aaron Rodgers is maybe
Speaker 2: one or two millimeters uh too far inside not outside.
Speaker 2: That makes the difference in Garrett Wilson in that third
Speaker 2: down conversion, and that also makes a difference on the
Speaker 2: press out where the ball got deflected. Just some minor tweaks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I wanted to ask you about Rogers
Speaker 1: looking ahead. You think he gets better each week. He
Speaker 1: had a year off.
Speaker 2: You know, It's funny. It's funny right because last week
Speaker 2: before when we were previewning the game, you know, we
Speaker 2: were talking, we had Rex on Rex like, well, just
Speaker 2: so you know, Aaron Rodgers always you know, doesn't have
Speaker 2: a great game his first game, and he went over
Speaker 2: the stats of all the game. He went to Yeah,
Speaker 2: he was like, but you know, man from week two on,
Speaker 2: so we saw that, Like Aaron, Aaron's like, oh man,
Speaker 2: I gotta get my balance right, I gotta get right.
Speaker 2: This is now. I have to adjust to to how
Speaker 2: I'm throwing the football with the coming off the injury.
Speaker 2: And he makes the necessary adjustments. So I think I
Speaker 2: suspect the offense, who looked good to me at times,
Speaker 2: just you know, want to get more movement on the
Speaker 2: run game and stuff like that. This is a new group,
Speaker 2: you know, so they have to figure out how to
Speaker 2: you know, work these combos how to get up to
Speaker 2: the second level all that stuff, even though this is
Speaker 2: a team that has from some familiarity, which you know, Vera.
Speaker 2: Tucker's played next to Morgan Moses before and Simpson's played
Speaker 2: next to Morgan, and you know trends, the tyrone tyrone
Speaker 2: that is the only new one, you know, And they'll
Speaker 2: get that figured out too, But that comes with reps.
Speaker 2: And they got Jeffrey Simmons. Man, he's a war daddy, right,
Speaker 2: and you know he's not gonna be easy. He can
Speaker 2: be a disruptor I think defense, Yeah, outside of like
Speaker 2: I mean, to me, he's like Dester Lawrence. Like I
Speaker 2: always say, Quinn is a different breed, Like he's not
Speaker 2: as big as those guys. Like he's big, but he's
Speaker 2: not fat, you know. I mean, these are like big
Speaker 2: little roly Casey Hampton type dudes that can be very,
Speaker 2: very disruptive in a run game.
Speaker 1: Garrett six sketches, Lizard six sketches. I think Breese had five.
Speaker 1: Those were the only pass catchers to actually catch a
Speaker 1: ball from Rogers. Is that just because of bottom line
Speaker 1: we didn't have He plays forty nine plays, so five
Speaker 1: three miles, I think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So That's what I'm saying, Like, that's that's just
Speaker 2: you know, the defense and uncharacteristically not being able to
Speaker 2: get off the field and giving up nine straight scoring drives.
Speaker 2: You know, that's that's rare. You don't expect this to
Speaker 2: ever happen to this defense again. And so like you know,
Speaker 2: given Rogers more opportunities to set up plays, plays to
Speaker 2: set up other plays, right, and maybe you know, Mike Williams,
Speaker 2: you know, they didn't want to use him too much,
Speaker 2: he'll be able to have an opportunity to kind of
Speaker 2: get the sea legs underneath him and maybe he gets
Speaker 2: more as he's on the same breas Hall pitch count
Speaker 2: that brief was on, so when it breached really kind
Speaker 2: of the Governor's off. Yeah, it was pretty much week five.
Speaker 2: So I mean, I think by the time you know,
Speaker 2: Mike gets to to Buffalo game, I think, you know,
Speaker 2: the Governor will be off. And then if Lazar can
Speaker 2: continue to produce at the clip that he produced that,
Speaker 2: I know he wants to have that drop back because
Speaker 2: it was a pivotal third down early on in the game.
Speaker 2: But if he's able to do that, now you feel
Speaker 2: super confident in three guys and if this offensive line
Speaker 2: can hold up, you know, maybe you get conkling and
Speaker 2: involved and maybe Rutger involved as well. So we'll see
Speaker 2: how things work out. But I'm very excited and bold
Speaker 2: on these next.
Speaker 1: Yeah. In fact, you've looked at the calendar at home,
Speaker 1: and you got out the red pen and you have
Speaker 1: circled it and said, jets your before and one that's
Speaker 1: your opinion when you look at Tennessee Sunday.
Speaker 2: Thursday, they got to earn it.
Speaker 1: Thursday night, New England, ten days off Denver at your place,
Speaker 1: and then you go over to London and face the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings and your former quarterback Sam Darnold. Do you
Speaker 1: like the way the schedule sets up right now?
Speaker 2: I do. We knew. We knew that Week one was
Speaker 2: gonna be tough on a road against the Super Bowl
Speaker 2: caliber champion, a team that was just the NFC champions
Speaker 2: last year. But we also knew that, you know, the
Speaker 2: schedule makers, outside of giving us three games in ten days,
Speaker 2: you know, gave us a favorable schedule where you know
Speaker 2: this team can come together and build confidence. And then
Speaker 2: when you get to the Buffalo game, you're going to
Speaker 2: see if you're ready for a big prime time type
Speaker 2: of game all over again, right, because you have to
Speaker 2: learn how to make sure that you know when you
Speaker 2: play against these great teams that you you know, during
Speaker 2: the regular season, we always just have a formula. Win
Speaker 2: all your home games and split against the good teams. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and you know that's you. Back in the day, that
Speaker 2: was a recipe for eleven wins. Now that same recipe
Speaker 2: as a recipe for twelve wins. So if the Jets
Speaker 2: can you know, take care of business, win the games
Speaker 2: that they're supposed to win. But then when you go
Speaker 2: face Buffalo, get a win that is a fifty to
Speaker 2: fifty game and show that you know, belong in this division.
Speaker 2: Although the Jets are the only team within the division
Speaker 2: that didn't win, I know that's what it's going to ask.
Speaker 2: Everybody in the division looks heavily flawed. And they're saying
Speaker 2: the same thing that we're saying. They just saying it
Speaker 2: would a win that you know everybody self New England
Speaker 2: think New England know who and what they are, but
Speaker 2: everybody else, rather it's see Bills or whether it's the Dolphins,
Speaker 2: they're saying, hey, we got away with one and we
Speaker 2: got a lot of stuff to work on. So whoever,
Speaker 2: out of all those three teams, I'm gonna take New
Speaker 2: England out of it, you know, make the necessary adjustments
Speaker 2: and start playing well faster. It's gonna have an edge
Speaker 2: to jump out against this, you know, to jump out
Speaker 2: on this, uh this season because when you look at it,
Speaker 2: but if you're saying in Miami or playing Thursday, so
Speaker 2: one of them are going to tell.
Speaker 1: People seen that game while they're listening to this or watching.
Speaker 2: Right, So you know, I mean somebody's gonna be hurt, right,
Speaker 2: I mean something nobody's gonna be hurt. Somebody's gonna already
Speaker 2: be have a loss that didn't have a loss. So
Speaker 2: you have an opportunity to kind of go to second here.
Speaker 1: Here's my question about those teams. Really quick. Are the
Speaker 1: Bills gonna ask Alan to do too much this year?
Speaker 1: I mean it just.
Speaker 2: Gets to That's what happens. That's what happens when you
Speaker 2: get the money though, right, Because did Kansas City acts
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes to do too much last year? Yeah? Remember
Speaker 2: that offense was futriot last year. Right, It wasn't great.
Speaker 2: We haven't very we have real cautions about that and
Speaker 2: he showed that he could do that, and now they
Speaker 2: they were able to be able to get some weapons
Speaker 2: for him. Unfortunately, oddly enough, you know, the gift that
Speaker 2: they got was from somebody within the division that had
Speaker 2: to get past Kansas City. If they want to get
Speaker 2: to where they want to go into Bills, why would
Speaker 2: you ever give them a pick Avey Worthy, which is like,
Speaker 2: that's that's malpractice right there.
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering if this is going to be too
Speaker 1: much for them to overcome. When you're talking Milano being
Speaker 1: hurt at the linebacker spot, and then there's so many
Speaker 1: changes in secondary. You're talking about players not lining up
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. They got new safeties, they just lost
Speaker 1: their nickelback.
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, you look you look at I mean,
Speaker 2: that was Arizona, a team that we thought might be
Speaker 2: top five or definitely top ten as far as the
Speaker 2: draft order, and they were right there and should have won.
Speaker 2: You know, So who are the Buffalo Bills. We're yet
Speaker 2: to find out. But I can't wait to see him
Speaker 2: in Week six and hopefully, you know, it'll be for
Speaker 2: the division, or maybe not, because maybe Miami beats them
Speaker 2: on Thursday Night Football and Miami is a team to beat.
Speaker 1: Your takeaway in Miami. Uh, that game against Jacksonville with
Speaker 1: et On doesn't fumble that ball, that's probably a Jaguars win.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Does that say more about Jacksonville? Does that say more
Speaker 1: about Miami or do you just say, hey, that's Week
Speaker 1: one whatever. I'm not putting too much stock into.
Speaker 2: It, right, I believe it's week one, But it's also
Speaker 2: were two teams that you know, one didn't have an advantage,
Speaker 2: right because you know they usually the advantage for Miami
Speaker 2: as the fact that it's ninety one degrees. Well, guess what,
Speaker 2: it's ninety one degrees in Jacksonville too, So like that
Speaker 2: wasn't advantage. The heat early on in Miami wasn't advantage
Speaker 2: for them. But also, you know, Jacksonville spent a lot
Speaker 2: of money in the offseason to improve their defense and offense.
Speaker 2: They got Armstead out there to go with our in
Speaker 2: and Walker and you know, they spent money and a
Speaker 2: lot of guys down. But you know they really spent
Speaker 2: money on the offensive side of the ball too. Yes,
Speaker 2: they let Calvin Ridley go, but you know they was
Speaker 2: went out and got big play Gabe and drafted well,
Speaker 2: so you know, maybe Jackwall's got something to say about
Speaker 2: the AFC or the AFC South. It's two good teams
Speaker 2: going against each other. But Miami didn't look like the
Speaker 2: team until late that is sposed to offense. And two,
Speaker 2: it didn't look like he was his normal self as well.
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick and I talked to Baldi about this as well,
Speaker 1: said that one of the things that stood out to
Speaker 1: him early here in the NFL season Week one was
Speaker 1: that teams are having difficulty throwing the football. Is that
Speaker 1: because quarterback play? Is that the defenses? Is that because
Speaker 1: people don't play in the preseason anymore.
Speaker 2: I think it's a combination of both. The fact that
Speaker 2: defenses are traditionally ahead of offenses early on in the season.
Speaker 2: And I mean even Patrick Mahomes, what did he throw
Speaker 2: for it? But he didn't light it up, you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the best in the business. Lamar Jackson
Speaker 2: didn't light it up. He lit it up with his legs,
Speaker 2: which is, you know, imprivatization opposed to stepping back and
Speaker 2: the game working. But the defense always catches up and
Speaker 2: the powers to be will probably put in some more
Speaker 2: legislation to help the offense next year, and defense have
Speaker 2: to adjust again. But guys are starting to figure out.
Speaker 2: You know, you look at guys like C. J. Stroud
Speaker 2: and that you know Jordan Love, guys that you know
Speaker 2: caught the league by storm. Defense. The defensive coordinators have
Speaker 2: had opportunity to study those guys for an entire season.
Speaker 2: And you talk about Openland week. You know who you're
Speaker 2: going against and so you study for them all year. Now,
Speaker 2: now let's see if the offense is held down this
Speaker 2: week when you don't prepare for the second week of
Speaker 2: the season. You prepare. Everything is geared in the off season,
Speaker 2: everything's geared in training camp. This is our opponent, this
Speaker 2: is what they do. So you watch them all the time.
Speaker 2: You don't watch these opponents as much as you watched
Speaker 2: the first one because you know exactly who you're facing.
Speaker 1: You take them one at a time. But you're saying
Speaker 1: these are moths for the Jets here when you're looking
Speaker 1: at the schedule, Yeah, they should got to roll contests
Speaker 1: against the Titans. And then you come back Thursday night
Speaker 1: against New England at home.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean home opener, ruckus crowd. You know Jacoby Brissett,
Speaker 2: who knows that Jacob Ba said still be the starter
Speaker 2: he didn't exactly light it up, you know, and maybe
Speaker 2: they might want to spark, but you talk about you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know if they want to put a rookie
Speaker 2: Drake May against Aaron Rodgers first time on the first
Speaker 2: time starting on the road, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So maybe it's gonna be Jacoby Brissett, but maybe we
Speaker 2: see Drake May because the Jets are doing such a
Speaker 2: good job that they realize that, hey, it's time to
Speaker 2: get the young guy experience because we getting the breakspeed
Speaker 2: off of us.
Speaker 1: I got a feeling that Rogers is gonna continue to
Speaker 1: send here like you just talked about before, and he
Speaker 1: was not poor by any means.
Speaker 2: I'm so en courage. He doesn't have the opportunity. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean he's not his fault on the interception, like
Speaker 2: that was a deflection and just ball bounced directly to
Speaker 2: a guy who's probably got his first career interception, right,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. And you know, to punch out,
Speaker 2: that's that's just schematics. Breech Hall knows better when you
Speaker 2: get it. When you get a reception and you're on
Speaker 2: the left side of the field, you put the ball
Speaker 2: on the left hand so that the guy, if they're
Speaker 2: gonna punch it out, he has to reach across your body.
Speaker 2: He put the ball right there for one of the
Speaker 2: best linebackers. It was like, you know, you know, you know,
Speaker 2: dangling a stake in front of a lion and you
Speaker 2: ain't got no cage in between you. He gonna get
Speaker 2: to that steak. And that's what happened. And I know
Speaker 2: when Breech is, you know, breaking down the game and
Speaker 2: he's watching the family watching the play, the running backs
Speaker 2: coach is saying, hey man, switch that hand right so now,
Speaker 2: because there's more people coming from pursuit inside than outside.
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to use that line before. So
Speaker 1: that's dangling a steak from in front of a line
Speaker 1: and there's no key yep. I like that vulnerable and
Speaker 1: hey man, you look comfie.
Speaker 2: Can you see my feet?
Speaker 1: All right? Thanks?
Speaker 2: Brother? All right?
Speaker 1: Paaldy Week one throughout the National Football League, what were
Speaker 1: your major take with Well, I.
Speaker 3: Mean, you know, Kansas City look like you know, they're
Speaker 3: they're primed. You know that first opening games, Avery Worthy
Speaker 3: is going to make a difference in that offense, you know,
Speaker 3: and then you I was in Brazil and Saquan in
Speaker 3: that Philadelphia Eagles offense is a perfect fit. And then
Speaker 3: you can just go around the league. Cj uh you
Speaker 3: know CJ. Stroud with the addition of mixing and State
Speaker 3: and digs like they're gonna be a force. And then
Speaker 3: look the Cowboys defense, like they they just added some
Speaker 3: young pieces. They're so fast and they made Cleveland look
Speaker 3: so slow. And so you just go around the league
Speaker 3: and there was some really strong performances. Tampa Bay is
Speaker 3: the team you have to take seriously. You know the
Speaker 3: Jets that they're gonna bounce back. We're gonna they're gonna
Speaker 3: bounce back. I mean, they did not play well against
Speaker 3: San Francisco, but that's a stacked roster in San Francisco,
Speaker 3: so it's a good first test. But they should get
Speaker 3: up off the mat from that one.
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick pointed out that, hey, a lot of teams
Speaker 1: early on weren't passing the football with a lot of efficiency.
Speaker 1: What do you point to for that.
Speaker 3: Well, look, nobody plays in preseason, and so to me,
Speaker 3: September's in New August, Like, you got to now get
Speaker 3: yourself into shape. You got to get your timing down,
Speaker 3: you got to get your protections your hot reads, like,
Speaker 3: now's the time to start working on it immediately and
Speaker 3: fixing things. Things that are broken, fix it, and things
Speaker 3: that you can get better at work on them. It's
Speaker 3: just hard. As much as you want to put emphasis
Speaker 3: in the preseason, if you're not playing, you're just not
Speaker 3: going to get to the speed of the game that
Speaker 3: you need to be.
Speaker 1: The Jets had a tough assignment going and playing against
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. They didn't play up to their standard,
Speaker 1: especially in the defensive side of the ball. How much
Speaker 1: of a concern is anything what you saw their long
Speaker 1: term or these are all correctable mistakes?
Speaker 2: Well, I think the.
Speaker 3: Run defense can get fixed because run defense is just
Speaker 3: run fixed. You could take the run away. They didn't
Speaker 3: do a good job of that. I thought the linebackers
Speaker 3: were They were just frozen reading and they weren't attacking.
Speaker 3: But the one concern I would have is pass rush
Speaker 3: because look, Bryce huff was a was a big part
Speaker 3: of the pass rush last year. He's not here, Hassan's
Speaker 3: not here, So who's that third guy? Because I believe
Speaker 3: Jermaine and quinnin can always get after the quarterback, but
Speaker 3: you need a third guy to win, And I don't
Speaker 3: know who that third guy is right now, and so
Speaker 3: that's a concern for me.
Speaker 1: What about offensively, Aaron Rodgers making his twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: debut thirteen to twenty one, had the one scoring pass Dawlenlizard.
Speaker 3: Look, I mean, you got to stay on the field.
Speaker 3: Forty nine snaps isn't enough. They had five possessions in
Speaker 3: the first half where they didn't get a first down. Like,
Speaker 3: that's not Aaron Rodgers football, That's not what the Jets.
Speaker 3: So you need to get Breeze Hall going. He didn't
Speaker 3: get going. That's a big part of it. But you
Speaker 3: saw the throws Tolizard, the throws to Garrett Wilson were
Speaker 3: elite stick throws. There just wasn't enough of them in
Speaker 3: that game because they didn't stay on the field long enough.
Speaker 3: And so that's their challenge this week against Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's go inside the match up against the Titans.
Speaker 1: The Titans, I think, and they should be want to
Speaker 1: know after blowing a lead there in Chicago. Offensively, what
Speaker 1: is Rogers going to be seeing this week?
Speaker 3: Well, I think that he's got a very good defensive front.
Speaker 3: You know, Harold Landry Jeffrey Simmons, this new rookie to
Speaker 3: Fandre Sweat is a real force. Like they're built around
Speaker 3: the front four, and so Aaron knows that, he knows
Speaker 3: that they've got some good pass rushers inside and outside,
Speaker 3: and so the ball's got to come out quick. They
Speaker 3: signed l J. Snead to be like a shut down corner.
Speaker 3: We may see LJ against Garrett Wilson and look, I
Speaker 3: mean he's got the ability to take receivers out, but
Speaker 3: that's a challenge right there. So where else can you
Speaker 3: go with the ball? The tight ends have to get
Speaker 3: involved in the offense this week.
Speaker 1: Guess what I wanted to ask you is that do
Speaker 1: you make anything of that Rogers connected with three players
Speaker 1: against the Niners and Garrett Wilson, Breist Hall of course,
Speaker 1: and Allen Zard or is that more? Okay, that's just
Speaker 1: a result of we had a couple three and outs,
Speaker 1: We weren't able to get rhythm and the defense had
Speaker 1: problems getting off the field.
Speaker 2: That was all that.
Speaker 3: It was all of that. I mean, he's always going
Speaker 3: to go to the guys that he trusts, and there's
Speaker 3: obviously big trust in Garrett and Lazard right now and
Speaker 3: the checkdowns to briefs are there, so there's trust in
Speaker 3: those guys, but the offense has to be more than three.
Speaker 3: But for right now, as you sort of get into
Speaker 3: game mode, you go to what you trust and look
Speaker 3: if Lazard and Garrett Wilson gets the majority of the targets,
Speaker 3: it's just the way it is right now. Mike Williams,
Speaker 3: we'll get into it. Xavier, you know, we'll get into it.
Speaker 3: But for right now, you're going to go to who
Speaker 3: you trust to win. When you have to.
Speaker 1: How big are moments in the game in terms of rhythm.
Speaker 1: Because that first drive you got possession, and Lazard has
Speaker 1: the drop that would have been a first down, that
Speaker 1: game is on third down. Second drive, Briee unfortunately has
Speaker 1: the fumble. So when you're talking in the big picture,
Speaker 1: how important are those moments with rhythm.
Speaker 3: It's paramount, especially third You've got to stay on the
Speaker 3: field because you have a game plan, you feel good
Speaker 3: about the game plan, you spend all week doing it,
Speaker 3: but you never really get into it. You're always just
Speaker 3: getting drive starters and you're not getting drive finishers because
Speaker 3: you're not staying on the field, and so and then
Speaker 3: the game is getting away from you too, So now
Speaker 3: you have to kind of get away from some of
Speaker 3: the things you're hoping to do because the game's getting
Speaker 3: away from you. Now you've got to play catchup. And
Speaker 3: so you know, even at twenty six thirteen, they weren't
Speaker 3: out of the game. And that's kind of how Aaron
Speaker 3: Rodgers thinks, you're never out of it. On the other hand,
Speaker 3: if you can get on top of a team, then
Speaker 3: you can start bleeding the clock. Then you can start
Speaker 3: pounding Breeze. You know, we didn't see you know, Braileen Allan,
Speaker 3: we didn't see any of the other running backs because
Speaker 3: they just couldn't establish that part of the game. They've
Speaker 3: got to get better up front, and I think they will.
Speaker 3: I mean, they've got veteran players right now. I thought
Speaker 3: there was some miscommunication in the run game that led
Speaker 3: to some you know, to Breeche getting stuffed in that
Speaker 3: game in the first half. Like they've got to click
Speaker 3: that cleaned up here week?
Speaker 1: Is that natural? With three new starters and everybody, that
Speaker 1: whole group didn't even play together a snap in the preseason.
Speaker 1: They had valuable reps out here in the practice field.
Speaker 1: But you knew that was gonna happen.
Speaker 3: You hope it doesn't happen, but it does happen. There
Speaker 3: is a built in chemistry you have to develop and
Speaker 3: the only way you get it is by playing through it.
Speaker 3: And so just I saw one between Ali and Morgan
Speaker 3: on the back side of Iran where really, you know,
Speaker 3: one guy was blocking one play and the other was
Speaker 3: blocking another play in the tackles making you know, the
Speaker 3: tackle on the on Briee, you know for no gain
Speaker 3: like that has to get cleaned up. They they've got
Speaker 3: the strength of this whole Tennessee defense is the interior
Speaker 3: of their defensive line. Sebastian, Joseph Day, Jeffrey Simmons, the
Speaker 3: rookie Tofandre Sweat, those are really good football players. Like
Speaker 3: you can't make those mistakes against those players, otherwise their
Speaker 3: linebackers will make the tackles defensively.
Speaker 1: What do you think was the message here at one
Speaker 1: Jets Drive this week, because Robert Salad said it sternly,
Speaker 1: we will get this shit fixed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you have to because Tony Pollard and and spears,
Speaker 3: they're capable of doing damage. If you don't get your
Speaker 3: run fixed, your run fits fixed. And that's what run
Speaker 3: defense is. It's just being in the right gaps and
Speaker 3: attacking those gaps and squeezing the defense and shortening and
Speaker 3: squeezing the holes like there's a there's a method to
Speaker 3: stopping the run. And I don't care what the names
Speaker 3: on the back of the jersey is, it's the same.
Speaker 3: And so you've got to get to your fits, you
Speaker 3: got to get into your gaps, and you've got to
Speaker 3: attack those gaps. And I would expect that CJ and
Speaker 3: Quincy could easily be in double digit tackles this week.
Speaker 1: Lovis making us eleventh career start in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: See the guy you consider high ceiling, low floor and
Speaker 1: sometimes it's gonna land somewhere in between.
Speaker 2: Well, he first of.
Speaker 3: All, he's a tough guy. Uh, he's taking his hits
Speaker 3: in this business. I see him come back against the
Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins in Miami on a money night last year, Yeah,
Speaker 3: where he made all the throws after just getting hit
Speaker 3: time after time after time. Like he's gonna's he's not
Speaker 3: going to give in. He's going to compete like crazy.
Speaker 3: And he's got a rocket for an arm. Now he's
Speaker 3: capable of make mistakes, all right, and that's what he
Speaker 3: has been prone to. You've got a force many of
Speaker 3: those mistakes, but he certainly has the ability to stay
Speaker 3: in there and deliver the ball on time, and I
Speaker 3: think the offensive line under Callahan is capable of giving
Speaker 3: him that kind of time.
Speaker 1: They got some interesting receivers, starting with Ridley. Hopkins is
Speaker 1: coming off injury. He didn't get many snaps I think
Speaker 1: seventeen snaps against the Bears, and then Boyd as well.
Speaker 3: Well, look, Calval Ridley is the number one right now.
Speaker 3: They signed him to a big contract to be the
Speaker 3: number one guy. Now, the targets are going to go
Speaker 3: to him. But both backs are excellent receivers. Taja Spears
Speaker 3: is an excellent receiver. In fact, last year is a rookie.
Speaker 3: He was a third down back and they took Derrick
Speaker 3: Henry off the field. So both Spears and Pollard are
Speaker 3: very capable. The tight end, Okuronquo is like he's going
Speaker 3: to Tuchown last week. He's a very athletic, move tight
Speaker 3: end and so he's got enough targets right now. It's
Speaker 3: probably not what we saw in San Francisco on Monday night,
Speaker 3: but they're certainly capable of making big plays.
Speaker 1: You think this is a close matchup ultimately the way
Speaker 1: you saw Tennessee play, and also with the Jets kind
Speaker 1: of where they're at right now.
Speaker 3: I think that it's time to get after Will Levis,
Speaker 3: and I would think, look, they gave up a punt
Speaker 3: block for touchdown, a pick six for a touchdown. Otherwise,
Speaker 3: they win that game against Chicago on the road against
Speaker 3: a pretty good football team. They made Caleb Williams look
Speaker 3: like a rookie. Yeah, he was awful in the game.
Speaker 3: The offense was awful, So I think they probably feel
Speaker 3: pretty good about what they have defensively. Like Anna Rodgers
Speaker 3: is looking at that right now, going all right, this
Speaker 3: is Caleb, this is me, Like, I'm gonna show you
Speaker 3: what real offense looks like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. Will they try to protect
Speaker 1: Levis against the Jets defense, considering what he's done early
Speaker 1: in his career and coming off a game where those
Speaker 1: takeaways really hurt the Titans.
Speaker 3: I think that, you know, Brian Callahan is a really
Speaker 3: good offensive coordinator and his dad's a great line coach
Speaker 3: and run coordinator. So I think that they will have
Speaker 3: a good game plan against this front and what the
Speaker 3: Jets want to do, and then it's the question of
Speaker 3: can the secondary like they didn't come close to taking
Speaker 3: the ball away, Like, there's gonna be opportunities to take
Speaker 3: the ball away this weekend, and you've got you got
Speaker 3: to you got to start that process because to me,
Speaker 3: if you want to be a great defense, you got
Speaker 3: to be a great scoring defense, and you got to
Speaker 3: take the ball away.
Speaker 1: Quick thoughts on New England, because the Jets don't only
Speaker 1: play Tennessee Sunday afternoon, they come back home, have a
Speaker 1: couple of days of preparation. As the Patriots home opener, well.
Speaker 3: They they made Joe Burrow, who I think is a
Speaker 3: great quarterback, look very average. And the offense in Cincinnati
Speaker 3: never got going. Now they had a ball stripped away
Speaker 3: at the goal line going into score. You know that
Speaker 3: was a big play. But Keon White, some of these
Speaker 3: guys you might not know very much about, Like they
Speaker 3: played big and and Gion Mayo had them ready to play.
Speaker 3: They played great defense, and they played complimentary offense from
Speaker 3: Andre Stevenson had a good day. The offensive line played well.
Speaker 3: They shortened the game like they had a good game
Speaker 3: plan against a very good Bengals team.
Speaker 1: Paul's a great senior from Brazil to Indianapolis, two NFL
Speaker 1: films to one Jets Drive.
Speaker 3: It's been a track, but I enjoyed their every single
Speaker 3: stop along the way.
