You're listening 3 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: to the Official New York Jets podcast, A Jets three 4 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: sixty production. What's up, everybody? Thanks for tuning into the 5 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: Official Jets podcast. E A and I are back from 6 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: the bye week Thanksgiving Alpis. It's almost like a like 7 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 1: a double by in a way, because you have the 8 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: bye week and then you have a couple of days 9 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: off and a spotty schedule from Thanksgiving. It's kind of nice. 10 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: Are you getting some days off this week? I don't 11 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: know yet. Well Thanksgiving I feel I figured we're all 12 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: getting off. Yeah, but it's more of a relaxed time, 13 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: and any time that there's less traffic on the road, 14 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: it's like a day off for me. I totally understand that, 15 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: being someone who used to commute back and forth from 16 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: Long Island every day, but this league from to clarify, 17 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: from Jersey to Long Island. Yeah, one know, from Long 18 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: Island to Jersey back. Yes, okay. So I would like 19 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: to ask this question, is the players they came in 20 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: on Thursday. I know there's no media availability that they 21 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: probably have an early day on Thursday. Yeah, I believe that. 22 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: I believe they do, because there's a pool reporter, okay, 23 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 1: coming in and who is it? That would be New 24 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: York Post Brian Costello. I was just gonna ask if 25 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: it was. I feel like it's a yearly. It's an 26 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,279 Speaker 1: annual tradition for him coming in on Thanksgiving, the Turkey 27 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: Day tradition. Man, maybe maybe he doesn't wanna, Maybe he 28 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: has some Turkey duties that he wants to get out of. 29 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: I feel like Thanksgiving us earlier this year and the 30 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: Jets by was late. So now you have back to 31 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: back consecutive weeks that are a little bit atypical for 32 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: the regular season. And are you in Jersey for Thanksgiving? 33 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: How about you? You're gonna be in the city. No, 34 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to Westchester where my grandma is, Okay, and 35 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: she's a Jets fan. She is a Jets fan, Yeah 36 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: she is. But what's been her take on the season 37 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: or she just takes it on? She just takes it 38 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: in every year every year she goes, We're going to 39 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. And I've heard that every every year 40 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: since I've been alive, and every time baseball season comes around, 41 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: Mets are going to the World Series. Yeah, well she 42 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: she doesn't follow hockey. She's an internal optimist. We need 43 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: more of those. Yeah, no doubt about it. She uh. 44 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: Sometimes she asks me which which ones the Jets are 45 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: on the TV. But maybe Dino Babers could have asked 46 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: her for a pep talk after Racuse played Notre Dame 47 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: at Yankee Stadium. Yeah, Syracuse did not have a good 48 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: New York weekend. No, that's okay, and it's unfortunate because 49 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: they're Brandon New York's college team. I think St. John's 50 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: New York's college. Yeah, you said that. I don't know, 51 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: specially from a college basketball perspective. They can't get more 52 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: city than I don't know where the term New York's 53 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: college team comes from. I'll tell you what happened. Some 54 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: marketing think tank got in a room and said, let's 55 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: spring us this way. That's how it usually works. Well, 56 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: when you're driving up eighty one, you see it on 57 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: on a billboard, and the first time I saw it 58 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: was just kind of like, what the heck is that thing? Well, hey, listen, 59 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: we know the Jets are New York team and New 60 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: Jersey's team, and so are the Giants. You know a 61 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: lot of the Bills. Well yeah, well there's a lot 62 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: of people, especially in Western New York, would say that 63 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: the Bills are the only National Football League team in 64 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: New York. But listen that that's not fair because this 65 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: this Jets fan base, a lot of people is you 66 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: well know Greens growing up in Manhattan. Um, it extends 67 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: obviously into New York, and it made its base on 68 00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: Long Island at Awstra for decades before coming for here 69 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: to Jersey full time, no doubt about it. And I 70 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: always got confused. I mean, I'm gonna bring this up 71 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: because this weekend Jets Patriots Week twelve, both teams coming 72 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: off of bye week. There's a lot of debate is 73 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: which states fall to New England and where does the 74 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: line of New England stop, because it seems to have 75 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: bled a little larger ones the Patriots and the Celtics 76 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: and started to win a little more. Yeah, they've been 77 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: over the last two decades. If you're from the Boston area, 78 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: you're pretty asthetic by what your sports seems have been doing. 79 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: But I would say New England is Massachusetts, Rhode Island 80 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: in parts of Connecticut, not Vermont or New Hampshire. What 81 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: about Maine, well that that yeah, yeah, you can throw 82 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: all those states in there. But like New Hampshire, lived 83 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: free or die, I don't think you're telling anybody in 84 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: New Hampshire who the hell they're rooting for. Yeah to 85 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: Claire five, that's uh, that's on their license plates. Yes 86 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: it is. But that is their motto. That is the man. 87 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: That is something that I lived by. So I'm not 88 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: telling yeah, all right, well, but yeah, don't don't get 89 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,799 Speaker 1: in don't get in their way. New England, the Patriots. 90 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: This is a precedent and run a success. Um. Hopefully 91 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: we'll never see anything like it again, unless it's for 92 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: a team like the Jets. But the Patriots right now 93 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: with seven to three record, two game lead over the 94 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, and then FC East the Bills and the 95 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: Jets three and seven records, and New England's beat Miami 96 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: already this year once, they are well on their way 97 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: to securing their tenth consecutive division championship and six out 98 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: of eighteen years. And for a Jets fan, it makes 99 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: your skin crawl. So with all that being said, what 100 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: do you think about this weekend's Matt jep Because these 101 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: two teams every they see each other twice a year. 102 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: They play each other tough, they know each other, and 103 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: head coach child Bull said it a couple of weeks 104 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: ago that a f C East games are typically blood baths. 105 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of question marks surrounding 106 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: the Jets because you don't know what you're gonna get 107 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon. Because I think a lot of guys 108 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: Greens and I would ask you the same question when 109 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: we're in the locker room after a game. Last that 110 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: happened to be in Week ten when they lost forty 111 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: one a ten of the Bills at Mylife Stadium, and 112 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: I was surprised, but a number of players in the 113 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: room was said, we had a great week of practice. 114 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: I think they were shell shocked by what happened out there. Yeah, 115 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: I think that the Jets weren't shell shocked a little bit, 116 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: and they didn't have answers. Yeah, and they got in 117 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: the whole early. And you've seen it that fast starts 118 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: are imperative for the Jets. And you told me the 119 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 1: other day after we looked it up that the Jets 120 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: are thirty first in the NFL in first quarter point. Well, 121 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,559 Speaker 1: they only got twenty four points in the first quarter 122 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: in the year. I think they scored against Detroit to 123 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: even things up, but I know they scored ten points 124 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: against the Colts. Actually looking back, but during this four 125 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: game losing streak, they have not scored any points in 126 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: the first quarter. No. Actually, like Christine corrected, Chris Hernon 127 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: had a touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings and that game 128 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: that even things up in the first quarter. But the 129 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: last three games, the Jets haven't been on the scoreboard. 130 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: I wrote just wrote about this right now. Actually, interesting 131 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: that you just brought this up, is that I think 132 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: they need something to happen good early and you tweeted it, 133 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: and it's something we want back and forth about here 134 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: throughout the week. Is that Ah, historically, in a very 135 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: recent past, the Jets that played the Patriots tough at home. 136 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: There's nothing to celebrate about that there. But the stats 137 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: just tell you, strictly numbers will tell you that the 138 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: Jets traditionally played Patriots. They give him a battle. But 139 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,119 Speaker 1: I mean, you're not looking for uh, there's no moral 140 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: victories here, and Jets got to find and win, win 141 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: and win a football game last year in particular, just 142 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: to zero in on that game. It was seventeen final 143 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: with the Jets are on top fourteen nothing, and I 144 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: don't know, there's a very specific play, so I don't 145 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: know if you remember it, but Buster Screen had an 146 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: interception on a deep ball and then he almost had 147 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: a second interception to where Brady was looking for Rob 148 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: Gronkowski on the sideline and it went through Busters hands. 149 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: But Buster could have been looking at another six right there. 150 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: And it's a very specific play. But I remember us 151 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: thinking in the press box that left the door open 152 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: a little bit. And sure enough, the Patriots came back 153 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: and they do what they did. But this is New England. 154 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: Simply just doesn't beat themselves. Yeah, they're the least pedalized 155 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: team in the NFL. Right now, Here's what I will 156 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: tell you. That's a great stat Here's what I'll tell 157 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: you about the Patriots is that I don't see a 158 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: team that is is dominant as they have been in 159 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: the past, especially offensively. When you're watching the Rams and 160 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Saints. As I got an opportunity 161 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: to over the weekend, and I think most of America 162 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 1: watch Monday night football, I would say those offenses are 163 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: a high of a lot more explosive than the Patriots. 164 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: The Patriots still get the job done. I think they're 165 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: averaging eight points a game, and Brady is still a 166 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: very good quarterback. But there are certainly kinks in this armor. 167 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski is beat up from so many surgeries. He 168 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 1: doesn't even have thirty receptions this year because he's been 169 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: missing a lot of ball games. They think he's gonna 170 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: be back in the lineup. Sony Michelle has been getting 171 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: going on the ground. I think he's averaging a little 172 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: bit over four yards to carry, and and their leading 173 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: receiver is a guy by the name of James White, 174 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: was a running back in his fifth year. He's got 175 00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: sixty six receptions. The next closest guy on that at 176 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: chart is I don'lman, who missed the first fourty games. 177 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 1: Julian I don't want he's got forty receptions. This this 178 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: is not a team that goes as much downfield as 179 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: you've seen him in the past. Well, I'm glad you 180 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: mentioned that, because when you watch the Chiefs and the 181 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: Rams on Monday Night football, yes, you see the exotic 182 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: offenses and explosive offensive players whatever. But I think the 183 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: Patriots are different in the fact that they're a little 184 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: more surgical than the Chiefs and Rams, who seem to 185 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 1: be continuously pushing the ball downfield. Until your point is, 186 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: James White, the Patriots running back, leads to the team 187 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: in receptions and yards, I believe touchdowns as well, and 188 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: he's been a real, I think underrated threat for the Patriots. Yeah. 189 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 1: I think people will lead on things underrated, but I 190 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: get what you're saying. It's not I don't think he 191 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: gets a whole lot of credit when you're talking about 192 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: a guy who's got six touchdowns receiving. Yeah, I mean, 193 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: listen to the Patriots offense. So Chess has to tackle 194 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: well this week. Number One is they got to take 195 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: away the run, and that went away against the Buffalo Bills, 196 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: and and all those guys were really annoyed about that. 197 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: They got to get back defensively, got to get back 198 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 1: to taking away the run. You can't see Sony Michelle 199 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: getting the edge this week, otherwise you're gonna be in trouble. 200 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 1: Second part of this is you have to take care 201 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: of the screen game because the Patriots are gonna try 202 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,119 Speaker 1: to throw the ball to the backs out of the backfield. 203 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: Set those screens up um, left and right, and then 204 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: it's the option routes. And option routes mean you have 205 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: to tackle well in the secondary. I think the Jets 206 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: will come up with a good game plan. Interesting stat too, 207 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: and again there are different people. There's no uh stat 208 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,239 Speaker 1: that we live by in terms of blitzes against quarterbacks 209 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: and things like that. But people in New England have 210 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: said this year that Brady has struggled mightily against the 211 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: blitz and if the Jets can somehow win on early 212 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: downs where you're putting Brady in third and six, unleash 213 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 1: the dogs, unleash the hounds get after. I know the 214 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: Jets did not beat the New England Patriots last year, 215 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: but two of Tom Brady's three worst performances from a 216 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: completion percentage standpoint came against the Jets. One in Week 217 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: six at MetLife Stadium, completed fifty four percent of his passes, 218 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: and then Week seventeen, when the Jets lost in Foxborough, 219 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: he only completed right and then in the total of 220 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: those two games, Well, I mean that's a good number. 221 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, YOU'RENNA, You're you're gonna sign up for that 222 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: every week, I would say that he did have four 223 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: touchdowns in the two games, and just Um rob Brokowski 224 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: had two of those at MetLife. But then you gotta 225 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: give Jamal Adams a lot of credit because he helped 226 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: keep Gronk off the stat sheet in that six to 227 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: six game at Gilette Stadium. Those were if you're looking 228 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: for something where you saw improvement from a player last 229 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: year in his rookie season, and we've seen him jump 230 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: off in this year. Two was he came out after 231 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: Grog really got the better of him at Motlife Stadium, 232 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 1: and they did a great job on him and that 233 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: second game. But again, no moral victories. You wrote about it, 234 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 1: I've written about it. Everybody's talking about morales high uh 235 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: tod Bol said that Josh McCown echoed those sentiments and 236 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: then both said we're gonna fight. Everybody on the team 237 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: is going to fight, the players and the staff, and 238 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams said, fight, fight, fight. How about how about 239 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: last time these two teams met, Jamal Adams was shirtless 240 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: in Foxborough on perhaps ridiculous day. We talked to Bart 241 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: Scott about this too. Man, No, not about Jamal coming 242 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: out against the Patriots, but Northwestern when they played Minnesota 243 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: twenty two degrees in Minnesota last week and all every 244 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 1: all the kids came out with their and I can 245 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: call him kids now because I'm a lot older than 246 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: they are. They all come out with their shirts off 247 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: twenty two degrees weather. By the way, if it's twenty 248 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: two degrees, I'm gonna have thirty layers on the makeup 249 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: off as harsh. But do less, Northwestern? Do less? Why? Why? 250 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: It seemed a little try hard to me? Yeah, what 251 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: what's the point? But did you do you take that 252 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: same tone with the president of all last year? I 253 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 1: it was an individual, I think it would be a 254 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: little different, and the whole team thing struck me. Oh 255 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: the team thing was a little bit over the top. 256 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: Four you Yeah, yeah, it seemed a little a little 257 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: more calculated that way, you know what I mean, like 258 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: a little more thought into it where Jamal is probably 259 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: you know. Can I tell you that it took me 260 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: like a couple of weeks when we came back from 261 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: New Year's eive at Gillette Stadium in that game for 262 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: my bones to actually heat up, because I got a 263 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: feeled the old ice on my bones for days. Yeah, 264 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: that was there was that the coldest game you've ever 265 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: been to. I think that was the coldest game I've 266 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: ever been to. Yeah, that's a period. I don't think 267 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: the weather it's gonna be that bad this week. I 268 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: really hope the Jets fans I get into this game. 269 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: Like I said, you gotta get them going early. Man, 270 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: you know it better than anybody's that these people are 271 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: starving for a win. They're frustrated right now, rightfully so. 272 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: But I was encouraged by the locker room. I'm not 273 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: saying it's going to transcend uh to the football field, 274 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: but I do think that the guys had the proper 275 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: mindset and probably even though everybody is you're continuing to 276 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: learn here in Green's, everybody's always going to tell you 277 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: it's a great time for bye. But for the Jets, 278 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: after what happened against the Bills and that shell lacking, 279 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: they really had to get the hell out of here. 280 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: I think it was good for him. I think it 281 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: was good for him. Listen, No, I'm not ripping on 282 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: anybody else. That happens. Sometimes you never want to see 283 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: that happened. But I really think it was positive for 284 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: everybody to say, Okay, let's get away and resent you know, 285 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: I was thinking about this and it's non football related. 286 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: Sam Donald talked about a little bit about his commute 287 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: on Thursday, trying to get into city. If we had 288 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: worked that Thursday, I would have stayed out in Flora 289 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: Park because there was no way I was going from 290 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: here to Hoboken. I heard. I heard stories where it 291 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: took what a fifteen minute drive was supposed to be 292 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: ended up being three hours. Yeah. I heard a bunch 293 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: of horse stories. And the New Jersey Transit buses were 294 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: letting passengers off at the top at the front of 295 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: the GW Bridge on the top level so they could 296 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: walk across into the city because there was no cars 297 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: allowed on the top level of the GW. Yeah, but 298 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: what did they do once they get to the city. 299 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: They walked all the way home. No, you probably then 300 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: catch a subway right there or where the subways running. Yeah, 301 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: I believe so, I mean, if you're not a little 302 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: bit delayed. But I had. I was in the city 303 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: when it started to snow and I had just gotten 304 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: I had just got my haircut, and I had to 305 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: walk like twenty blocks south to meet up with my 306 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: friend before going to Syracuse, Yukon. At the garden, which 307 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: you know when it ranged pores and that was the 308 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: beginning of a bad weekend. But but the wh put 309 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: it on you guys, Oh grain, this is gonna have 310 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: a tough weekend. But the subway line was so long 311 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: that it was it was much easier just to walk 312 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: and much faster. So the whole thing was a mess. 313 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: So you can put in the weather in there. Well, 314 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: fortunately the weather has been okay lately, so um, yeah, 315 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: I think the weather will not be a factor Sunday. 316 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: Uh at MetLife there's calling for I think temperatures in 317 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: the fifties, is that right, Uh, it's supposed to be 318 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: rather warm. I think okay, But well, you know, and 319 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: the fans I know that. Like I said, you know, everybody, 320 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: they're overdue for a win. And I think the players, 321 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: you know, there was a lot of professional pride, individual pride. 322 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: And Jamal also put it eloquently, I thought when he said, 323 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: you have a number of different motivations, including everybody has 324 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: a different y um, but in it's you're the name 325 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: on the back of your jersey, the name on the 326 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: front of your jersey, and I think it matters to 327 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 1: those guys. I think they will come out and have 328 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: a much better offer than they did two weeks ago. 329 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: I want to know, with six games remaining, who are 330 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: some players that you're excited to see their performance down 331 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: the home stretch after the bye week, and not just 332 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: against New England, but when you look in totality of 333 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 1: these finals, six weeks of regular season. Well, I'll let 334 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: you handle Donald. I'm not gonna take everything, so I'll 335 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: take offensively, Eli McGuire, a guy's got a couple of 336 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: games under his belt and he's he's proved continues to 337 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,719 Speaker 1: prove to be an elusive runner, and he's adopt out 338 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: of the backfield catching football. He's got the low pad level. 339 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: I really like what I've seen on him. Chris Herndon 340 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: continues to be an emerging tight on for this team. 341 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: Trent and Cannon has been outstanding special teams player. What 342 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: let's see if he can continues, UH, continue to get 343 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: some subpackages offensively and use them in different ways like 344 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 1: they did against the Bills that use them on the underground. Uh. 345 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: And then defensively, for me, it's the secondary um because 346 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: Trumaine Johnson, this is in the year I'm sure that 347 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: he envisioned after he came over from the Rams and 348 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 1: signed the big deal in the off season. Unfortunately, that 349 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,239 Speaker 1: quad injury hampered him early and then he give up 350 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: a big play to start the game against the Bills. 351 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: But he's still He's still a good cornerback Greens and 352 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you're gonna be counting 353 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: on Trewemaine Johnson and those two safeties for a long time, 354 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 1: no matter what personnel changes around those guys. So I'm 355 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,479 Speaker 1: really looking at the secondary, and like I told you, 356 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: I'm letting you handle Donald, but here's your quarterbacks. You're 357 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: facing Tom Brady twice, Aaron Rodgers possibly wants well to 358 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: see what happens with Green Bay Deshaun Watson. A lot 359 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: of people think he is one of the finer uh 360 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: young quarterbacks in the game. Uh, Marcus Mariotta's a former 361 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: top five pick. And then you're probably gonna see Josh 362 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: Allen for the first time. So I'm gonna I'm gonna 363 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: say the second year. Okay, you listing off those quarterbacks 364 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: reminds me of last year when the Jets had Breeze, 365 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: Rivers and Brady to close out the year. I remember 366 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: talking about that, but Donald particular if he plays right now, 367 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: it's unknown as we record the podcast because he's has 368 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 1: a strained right foot and he didn't practice Monday, but 369 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: no injury report came out on Monday, because Wednesday's when 370 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: the injury report comes out. And I think what we 371 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: talked about this before to Tony Romo said this to 372 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: Olivia Landis at the Bears game, that fans should look 373 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: to see maybe Donald perhaps turn a page towards the 374 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: end of this season as he begins to learn more 375 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: and more and taking things more and more. And he really, 376 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: like you mentioned and on our show Practice Today presented 377 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: by Serious Sex, m that he really was referring to 378 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 1: next year when Donald comes back and O t s 379 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: and how things will really slow down for him then. 380 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: But he made it seem he meaning Rome Mo, made 381 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: it seemed like that some of that could still happen 382 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: towards the end of this season. And I'm really looking 383 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: forward to seeing what may or may not happen, assuming 384 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: he starts, And just branching off of that, I'm you 385 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: mentioned Eli McGuire, I'm kind of excited to see what 386 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: Zakrol can do because he's flashed no doubt against the 387 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: lines in week one against the Broncos in Week five. 388 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: But other than that, I think he he hasn't had 389 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: a great season, and he's had great moments, but I'm 390 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: very interested to seeing what happens with him. And he 391 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: was bothered with an ankle injury after Week five, and 392 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: I think that kind of slowed him up a little bit. 393 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: And I'm very excited to see what this offensive line 394 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: can do because Spencer Long was hurt. James Carpenter didn't 395 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: practice Monday, so we'll see the status on him. But 396 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: I wonder what how that unit in particular will spot, 397 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: because you know, the Jets want to run the ball, 398 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: and that's how they're going to have success the season, 399 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: especially when you have a rookie back there when you 400 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: can take some of the pressure off of him. So 401 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: I'm very excited to see what what they're gonna do. 402 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: And defensively, I'm I'm agreeing with you and Tremaine Johnson. 403 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 1: I don't think that the start of his first year 404 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: as a Jet went the way he wanted it to. 405 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: But you know, six games may not seem like a 406 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: whole lot, but it is a There's a lot of 407 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: ball left to be played, and I think that the 408 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: NFL in general, whatever happens that week that moment, the 409 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: world's on fire if you lose, and everything's fine when 410 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: you win. But I'm I'm very excited to see what 411 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: happens with a lot of players, but those guys in particular, 412 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: it's a week to week league. Um, don't tell the 413 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: guys in the locker room that these games don't matter, 414 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: because even if they have an expiring contract and they 415 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: don't even think that, hey, maybe the Jets aren't gonna 416 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: resign me. I'm putting this film out there for thirty 417 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: one on their teams. Okay, don't say it doesn't matter 418 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,239 Speaker 1: to those guys and all. By the way, I know 419 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: what the fans are looking at. I know I've been here, 420 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: number four overall pick in the draft at the season 421 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: end of today. I get it. The players don't care 422 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: about that. The coaching staff doesn't care about that. Your 423 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 1: coaches in your college, I mean, you're a college scouts 424 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: and your personnel department, they're gonna be scouting up everybody 425 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: like that they have to. But that's an every day 426 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: of the year kind of thing. So I know fans 427 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 1: are I and add up and things like yeah, I 428 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: love the tanking arguments. Oh do you think that people? 429 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: How do you think that players are taking? No, they're 430 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 1: not tanking, like no team in the NFL. Thanks, It's 431 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: just it's just not a thing. So no table the conversation. 432 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: This isn't the n b A because I think they 433 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: they've had it happened a couple of times, I think 434 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: in but this podcast not really for the MBA. But 435 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: I would say that maybe the only year where you 436 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: can be like, wow, they might really set themselves up 437 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 1: here down the stretch that I really can remember is 438 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: that the Indianapolis luckier when Manning was out, and I 439 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: think they played they played hard, but I'm sure those 440 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: last two or three games maybe everybody in the organization 441 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: was gonna not the players, not the coaches, but I'm 442 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: sure there a couple of a couple of people in 443 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: they're probably had a couple of crusted fingers and toes 444 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: and things like that. Yeah, I mean, when you think 445 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: about it, it couldn't have played out any better for 446 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: the Colts than that aspect, going from Peyton Manning to 447 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck who has had a phenomenal year well, and 448 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,959 Speaker 1: and just thinking about that a lot of people were 449 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 1: thinking that win was worth anything. The Jets beating the 450 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: Colts and how much uh the rebuilding and they're struggling 451 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: team and they don't have many pieces around Andrew, whoa, 452 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: that look like a pretty good team right now, and 453 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: the Jets hammered them. And yeah, I was the week 454 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: Lee week to weekly. So you don't know, we might 455 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: look back at that and say, well, Detroit was nice, 456 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: but Indianapolis right now. So the Jets have three ones 457 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: right now, so it's Detroit Indianapolis right now, you would 458 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: easily say it. I would. I would say Indianapolis is 459 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: definitely the best team out of those three. Yeah, that's 460 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: their offense is really cooking, but their defense is playing 461 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: pretty well too. Yeah. You know, I'm actually coming into 462 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: this season I don't think I don't think a lot 463 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: of people did, but I definitely didn't think the Colts 464 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: were going to perform this way. But but the thing 465 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: that I take away out of this Colts team, and 466 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to divert from the subject here because 467 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: this is the official Jets podcast, but when you look 468 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: at what the Colts did in the draft and drafting 469 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: Quentin Nelson and Brandon Smith in particular those two guys 470 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: to solidify an offensive line around Andrew Luck and then 471 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: you draft someone like Naheim Hines and just add p 472 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,959 Speaker 1: Is here and there. I mean, I think what the 473 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: Colts did in the draft is paying off immediately for 474 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: that team. And I think that frankly, moving forward, I 475 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: think that the Jets. You could see the Jets follow 476 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 1: a similar blueprint in the off season. But away, No, 477 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: but I think it's fair. I think that's fair to say. 478 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: And you know, if you're a fan, you just stop 479 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: looking at Sunday. You can't. If you're a player and 480 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 1: your coach, that's what you do. But if you're a fan, 481 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: you gotta look beyond. And yes, they do have financial flexibility. 482 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: Uh they also have their first round pick this year, 483 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: and they have two threes because they sent Teddy Bridgewater 484 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: to New Orleans. No two's at this time, but yeah, 485 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 1: building from the inside out and also getting some piece 486 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: more pieces around Sam Donald, I'm sure that is part 487 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: of the plan. There is a This offseason is obviously 488 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,239 Speaker 1: going to be a very important one because of what 489 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: I mentioned, the financial flexibility. You have the quarterback. Let's 490 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: see what happens around building around so is this. So, Greens, 491 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: let me put you on a spot here. So is 492 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: this one of the last few times we will see 493 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: Tom Brady at my Life stadium? It's forty one years old. 494 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 1: Pel I know that you believe so I do, I do, 495 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I think Brady is hold on 496 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: one of the final times or the final time, because 497 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: the other day you said that you thought that this 498 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 1: was the final time. This is the ate hot take. No, no, again. 499 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 1: I don't want people running with this. My my point 500 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: is is said he's forty one. We all age believe me, Greens, 501 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: we all age. He's had an outstanding career, five super Bowls, 502 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: four time Super Bowl MVP, three time NFL MVP, perhaps 503 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: the greatest who's ever played the game. And I do 504 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: think Brady's body is not what it wants was. And 505 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: oh yeah, I get it. This is either is Drew Brees, 506 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: but I think Drew Brees got more pieces around him 507 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: in New Orleans. And I love Grenkowski as a player, 508 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: not as a as a Jet employee. I'm saying as 509 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: a player, he's a great player, but he's been ravaged 510 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 1: by injuries over the years, and that offense is just 511 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: not as is explosive. They're not going down the field 512 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: as much. And listen, No, I don't think Brady is 513 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: gonna be at month Life Stadium too many more times 514 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 1: in the future.
