WEBVTT - Listen: Inside the Jets with Vyncint Smith (11/4) 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.040 No, here's Eric Kellett and Eric Coleman. Welcome to Inside 0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:13.680 the Jets broadcasting sports and Hamilton Park. Eric Coleman also, 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:16.400 I want to thank Kyrie back in New York City, 0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:20.479 was handling the controls at ESPN. Justin here in Florn Park. 0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:26.759 Noah and Charles representing Jets three sixty but e the 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:29.680 Jets have hit the midway point with the one in 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:34.600 seven mark, so much positivity heading into the two thousand 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:39.240 nineteen season, but the winds just haven't been there through 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:43.680 half of the campaign. Now eight games to go. Yeah, 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:45.400 I mean it's you know, it was a promising looking 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:47.520 into the uh, you know, in the off season, looking 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:49.400 into the season, you you know, you and I talked 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:51.760 about it. We expected seven to ten wins. You know, 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.000 we expected to compete for the wild card spot, uh, 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:58.600 barring injuries. But injuries have plagued this team. That's been 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:00.520 a part of it. You know, perform much has been 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:02.960 the other part. You know, you know, the Stars haven't 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.640 been playing consistent, consistently good football. And that's what you 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:08.720 need if you're gonna have a good football team. You 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.600 need the first round picks, the free agents, you need 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.479 them to be contributing. You need them to be playing 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:17.680 solid Pro bowl level football, and the Jets aren't getting 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.440 that out of the top players and inconsistent in the 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.240 middle as well. Yeah, and you can't make excuses because 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.679 every team in the National Football League does face the 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:31.600 injury bug from time to time. But again, you go 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.479 out in free agency, he signed c. J. Mosley because 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:36.560 he's gonna be a culture changer and he's gonna be 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:40.440 the dynamic playmaker. And he has played less than two 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:45.760 games for you defensively, your offensive quarterback. Of course, the 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:50.440 second year player out of USC, Sam Donald, goes out 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:54.880 with Model M three games, comes back in the lineup, 0:01:54.960 --> 0:02:00.000 has made five starts and he's hit a roadbump here 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.559 over the last three games. There's no doubt about that. Yeah, 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.640 I mean it's been a combination of of guys not 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.200 playing up to their potential. Uh, it's been you know 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.000 a lot of the Jets beating themselves and you know, 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.800 and you know it's time to to start correcting those mistakes. 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.160 You know, stop getting the penalties that cost you a 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.080 big play. You know, stop putting other teams in position 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:22.359 to score and and and perform. You know, the it's 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.440 time for the excuses to get out of the door. 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:26.280 And it's time for guys to start stepping up to 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.800 the plate and start playing good football like they expect. 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.480 And why are the Jets in this position you mentioned 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:36.880 before death? I thought before the season, like you mentioned that, Hey, 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:41.600 this club the way it's constituted, could get anywhere from 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:44.640 on the low one seven to maybe ten and challenge 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.680 for a wild card spot. A lot of positive vibes 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:52.480 throughout the summer, and then it started against the Buffalo Bills. 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.280 This team had a sixteen nothing lead in the third quarter, 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:59.079 that mostly goes down and things kind of unraveled from there. 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.840 Darn never felt like himself in that ball game, even 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:06.560 though he completed forty one and the Bills take home 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.760 a seventeen sixteen victory. And then from there the Jets, 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:14.480 it kind of spiraled away from them. Donald goes out, 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:18.000 Trevor Simeon goes out, and Week two against the Cleveland Browns, 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:22.600 you play Luke Falk for a couple starts. Donald ultimately 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.800 comes back. He gives you that glimmeral hope against the 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:30.600 Dallas Cowboys. But the last three games just hasn't been 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:35.480 there for this club. Offensively, they scored actually on opening 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:39.640 possessions the last two games at thirty games that they 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:43.960 had scored in their opening possession. But after established after 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:47.920 established establishing that, I should say that offensive rhythm early 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.840 in games, it's going away. It is, it is going away. 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.440 Uh and and they gotta find a way to continue 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.200 that that success of the first drive throughout the game. 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.160 You know, teams are making adjustments and jets have to 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.440 be able to adjust as well. But you know, with 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.720 all these injuries that are happening, all the all the 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:04.880 big players that are going out, it's opportunities for young 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.520 guys to develop it and get those reps and really 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:09.640 prove themselves. And there are a couple of couple of 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.560 young players that are really stepping out and showing that 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.680 they deserve to be on this team, that they deserve 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.880 to be getting big minutes out there on the field, 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:21.120 getting reps um and that's something positive to look at. 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.680 You know, this team there there, the future is bright 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.240 if the guys can just stop beating themselves. You know, 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.800 you you talk about going into a game, it's it's 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.599 hard enough in the NFL to win because of the 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.440 talent level, and sometimes you're gonna get beat physically. The 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.880 guy next across from you might just be bigger, but 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:39.600 he might just be better than you, or he may 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.640 just make a good play. But to go out there 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.920 and beat yourself and not give yourself an opportunity. That's 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.560 what's disappointing about watching the team when when they're the 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:51.920 mental mistakes, when you see blown coverages, when you see penalties, Uh, 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.320 can't do that too. If you win games. Winless Dolphins, 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:59.640 we knew there were a dangerous animal. No pun intended. 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:05.320 You go against a team who lost a one point 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.640 decision of the Washington Redskins, had a halftime lead at Buffle, 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.640 had a halftime lead at Pittsburgh. You knew it was 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.960 a matter of time before this team was going to 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.880 get a victory. You were just hoping it didn't come 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:21.680 against you. But ten penalties for a hundred and five yards. 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.359 We talked about hidden yards in the National Football League. 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.679 You can't have a hundred and five yards marked off 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.520 against you. No better, who are your playing? No, you can't, 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:32.320 I mean, And a lot of those penalties came after 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.240 great plays. You know, offensively, you get a you know, 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.800 get a great play where running back make spring loose 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.560 for a seventeen yard game is coming back for holding. 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.839 You know that not only stops the momentum and stops 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.239 that drive, but you know, if that play would have stood, 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.520 maybe you would have got momentum. Ever know, you know, 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.440 I always say there's three or four plays in the 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.479 game that determined the outcome of the game. If you 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.960 make a big play and take that momentum and continue 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.359 to build off it, the game could be a completely 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:00.839 different game. That just may have scored a touchdown or 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.200 or something may have happened where things are different. But 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.040 you don't give yourself a chance like that if you 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:09.000 keep shooting yourself in the foot. But in the National 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.240 Football League you were on playoff teams. How do you 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.880 change that mindset? Because on the sideline, the Jets are 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.080 in control. Early they go down to field seven nothing. 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.440 Williams and number three overall selection out of Alabama picks 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:25.159 up the first professional full sack, go three and out, 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:28.160 get the ball back. You're right in position. You're inside 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:32.440 the thirty yard line and scoring territory, holding penally. Two 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:36.320 plays later, a sack, play later, miss field goal instead 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.839 of fourteen nothing or ten nothing, seven nothing, But you 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.680 still gotta be sitting there on the sidelines and say, hey, guys, 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.960 we're gonna be fine. But instead they couldn't handle adversity 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.480 against Miami. Ryan Fitzpatrick took that game over. Yeah. I mean, 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.479 you know, a great way to handle adversity is to 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:56.880 look around, you know, look at the man next to you. 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:58.560 You know you're you're not just doing it for yourself. 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.480 Maybe things aren't going well, Well, you know what, I'm 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.440 gonna give it my all. I'm gonna make sure I'm focused. 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.200 I'm gonna make sure on where I'm supposed to be. 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.640 I'm gonna make sure I give it effort on this 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.080 play for you, you know, for the man next to me, 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.400 and he's depending on me, he has his family depending 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.360 on me. And if the team looks at that, looks 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.440 at each other like that, and has trust in one 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.080 another and everybody gives their all, you'll stop making those 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.880 mistakes and stop being selfish and having those selfish penalties 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:26.520 hurting the team. What do you think defensively right now? Again, 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:30.000 for a second consecutive week, we saw a team. First, 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:34.280 it was Jacksonville. The previous week go fifty percent. Jacksonville 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:37.280 was fifty percent on third downs before they knelt on 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.960 the ball late when the game was over. The Dolphins 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.880 converted fifty percent of the time on third downs as well. 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.320 We know the Jets have been relatively strong against the 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.600 run all year. They got the Ryan Fitzpatrick four times 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.200 in all, but Fitzpatrick had a lot of success on 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:58.480 the outside with Preston Williams and DeVante Parker and Mike A. 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:00.560 Sick He got free a lot. Yeah, you know what 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:02.880 it's it's winning one on one matchups, you know, on 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.760 the perimeter. As a defense, I have to challenge that 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.960 receiver when there's third down in five, third down and seven. Listen, 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.200 they're not gonna be running go routes. Make them throw 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.200 a deep route. That's a that's a more difficult ball 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.920 to complete. The outside fade. It's tough for quarterback to 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.960 to complete that challenge every other route. How about let's 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.600 not give up a five yard cushion on a third 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.200 down in five, you know, tighten up that coverage. Challenge 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.560 those receivers fight for everything. Make them, you know, make 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.119 it a fight. You know, let somebody beat you. Don't 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.840 beat your don't get yourself beat by your alignment or 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.640 by your you're playing soft and playing off coverage, and 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.080 they just continue to just dink and dunk and convert 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.160 third downs down the field and continue drives. You have 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.400 to at some point in time have some pridea and 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.720 challenge those receivers. Sometimes the receivers is gonna make a 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:51.480 play in your Parker made that offense, fantastic one handed 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:56.800 reception on Date Harriston in the end zone. But um, 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.640 one of those plays there seems to be a miscommunication 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:04.080 in a defensive backfield between Darryl Roberts and safety Jamal Yeah. 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.120 I mean they were there on the twelve yard line. 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.640 Miami was on the twelve. That's we're in a Tampa 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.120 two defense. We call it read too down in the 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.960 red zone. A lot of teams played that defense. Uh, 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.520 the corners playing uh the flat routes, the linebackers are 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.120 playing underneath, and the middle linebackers closed in the middle. 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.880 Is technically a three dep with two safeties high with 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:24.920 the middle linebacker closed in the middle of the field. 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.040 And you know, for whatever reason, Jamal thought he saw something. 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.439 There's a flat route by the running back. He got 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:33.720 a little curious, got out of his post and they 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.880 ran a post right there, right where Jamal would have been. 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:39.160 If he would have stayed disciplined and stayed in his assignment, 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.280 that would have been an interception. Or Ryan Fitzpatrick never 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.760 throws it into the sack. But that's what that's what 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:48.120 happens when when when guys start start pressing, you want 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:49.840 to make a play for your team, you want to 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.800 do extra. You don't have to do extra, just do 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.080 your job, do it to your best of your ability, 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.960 and play within the scheme of the offense of the defense, 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:59.400 and you get off the field. And that didn't happen. 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:03.680 So we talked about depth. We have continued to talk 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.920 about depth all year, and the Jets are gonna have 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.800 to add to that not only this offseason, but in 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.280 the off seasons after that. Joe Douglas has a lot 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:17.280 of work on his hands. Offensive line, though has been 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:22.080 shuffled throughout the year. Yesterday, Jonathan Harrison played center. There's 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.360 a rookie at left tackle, and Chuma Adoga. Calvin Beecham 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:29.280 hopefully is back this week against a Crosstown Giants Sunday 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:32.440 at Medlife Stadium. We'll talk about that game later. Uh 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:36.640 Brandon Shell back at right tackle. Brian winners at right guard, 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.920 and that Alex Lewis is your left guard, because remember 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.959 you started this season with Collecchiossemmily, who you thought was 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.920 gonna be your left guard. So it seems like there's 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.880 been a different lineup each and every week. What is 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:52.880 happening between the line and the young quarterback right now 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.439 to plays in the fourth quarter, Let's go over him 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:59.560 the sack where the Jets are within the shadow of 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:03.320 their own end zone, Miami disguising well, the corner comes 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:08.120 over from Donald's right after it sure looked like the 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.880 line shifted protection left. I mean, that's that's a great 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.400 scheme by Miami. You know, Brian Flores isn't in this 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.280 position as head coach of the Miami Dolphins for no reason. 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.040 He did a great job in New England scheme in 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.880 different teams, and he knows as a defense there's a 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.640 certain there's certain timing that the call has to be made. 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.839 Speak speaking the time and I gotta I'm gonna cut 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.040 you off right back, which that's wide receiver Vincent Smith. 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:32.959 And we have a lot of coverage stuff to get 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:39.680 to with our guy Eric Coleman, Donald and the shotgun 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.559 bunch set takes this tap drops looks my pros like 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:46.160 Canarius Thomas easy his text FROs rust down a little 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:48.959 pick play works to perfection. He runs right inside the 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.720 twenty five inside the twenty and how to bounce up 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.560 a dolphin eighteen yard line. Nick Needum bumped him out. 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.160 Inside the Jets is presented by e Y Building a 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.720 Better Working World Erica Allen and Eric Coleman here at 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:05.080 Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel. 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:08.400 Or Player Guest segment is presented by M ANDT Bank, 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:11.839 the official community bank of your New York Jets. Without 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:16.840 further ado, let's bring in Jets wide receiver Vincent Smith. Vincent, 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:23.120 Sometimes when you need to play, somebody's got to step up, 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:27.080 and you did yesterday. Miami had total control of that 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.600 ball game seven right before that of the first half, 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:35.600 and there you go. You're deep seventy eight yards almost 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:39.480 to the house. Can you take us through the return? Uh? Yeah, 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:41.560 they kick off they had before they had kicked it 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.920 to my side deep into the end zone. So I 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:45.719 was kind of looking for coming into that player that 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.200 they probably trying to put it to my side. So 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:50.240 I saw that ain't got the ball, and you know, 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.000 really it was in the end zone. How to let 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.640 it go? But it was closer, caught it, took off 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:58.439 on read the coverage and broke a cup of tackles 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.280 and tried to beat him with the side line. I 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:01.880 wish I would have kept my feeder. Man. You ran 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.880 through that little attempted tackle, a little little cornerback trying 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.000 to take out your legs. I think guys get used to, 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.480 I guess smaller return man where they can just get 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.360 a shot on him and knock them down. But you 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.200 you were strongly had to kept your legs going. That 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.360 was a huge play man. How that feel? It felt 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.520 great on you know, any player you can make in 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:19.520 a game. It just makes you feel more established, makes 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.200 you feel like you go make more Inside the Jets 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.640 is supported by M ANDT bank. That fishal me bank. 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:28.439 If you're New York, Jets fences so earlier on in 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:32.760 the game time Montgomery's back deep because you guys have 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:36.400 Trent and Cannon on into reserve right now. He gets 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.480 banged up a little bit. I saw you line up 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.680 on that first kickoff return a little bit to his 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:46.280 right and he was deep. How was it different on 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:50.080 that return. It was actually exactly the same. I'm the 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:52.920 we're both deep, but I play a little bit up. 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.720 He's the main return guard to the right, so I'll 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:57.960 play off him. And like I said, they kicked that 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.319 one over my head, so I was expecting kicking to 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.079 my out side of again. And you know how to 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:04.680 make them pay? What grand boyers say to you Jet 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:06.959 Special teams coordinator when he came over the sideline, are 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:08.480 you say a great job? You know the way to 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.840 get his back in the game. Good run strong, you 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:14.120 know all the stuff. Electacy now visit you went to 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.720 a small school, limes Limestone College, but you you played 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:19.400 some big time in football, you know, going to the 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:22.760 Houston Texans being coached by guys like Andre Johnson, uh 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:26.000 now coming to the Jets, Hines war Sean Jefferson. What 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.280 is that like? What has that been like? Learning from 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:30.320 those guys who have so much experience from from their 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.840 playing years. It's a lot to take in, but it's 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.040 great because I feel like I have such a high 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.160 sailing from where I'm coming from, and you know, just 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:40.800 to see him see what they're seeing me, and it 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:42.440 makes me more confident go through it out there on 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.320 the field. What's this year been like for you? Because 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:49.680 you started in Houston with the Texans on their practice 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.920 squad and the Jets signed yet late September. I believe 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.760 the Uh, it's been crazy. You know, there's a lot 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.760 of change over, but you know, it just helps you grow. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.760 I think, um, it's another way to further my career 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.360 and become the player I want to be. Have you 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.800 had that moment you know? I mean, obviously I hate 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:09.840 to keep going back and I'm not trying to disrespect 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:11.920 your school, but coming from a small school and then 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.560 coming to the NFL, was there a moment where you 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:16.840 I mean, obviously you're nervous, probably coming into your first 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.200 training camp, like, man, can I play against these guys? 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.600 Was there a moment when you're like, Oh, this is it? 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:22.880 You know what I mean, this is all I have 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:24.520 to do is go out here and show my talents. 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:28.200 Was there a moment like that for you? Yeah, I'll 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:32.360 say even before I even was picked up undrafted, going 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.200 into the Pro day South Carolina and having a really 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.320 good pro dam and proven that I can, you know, 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.880 just compete with guys coming from that level, you know, 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:41.880 that was questions as fast as you think we are 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.320 a game move as well, it's as big as we 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.480 think you are. And you know, comparing um to those 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.120 guys just in the Pro Day and then having that 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.640 momentum on me, and that's why I think I was like, Okay, 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.920 I can do this. Did you have any kickoff return 0:15:56.040 --> 0:16:00.840 duties in Houston at all? Even going back to practice? Uh? 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.280 Last season I didn't. Well, I was back up, and 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.760 in this preseason I had it, and I had I 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.840 think I had almost I think a thirty eight almost 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:10.960 fifty yard return. So that's one of the things I 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:12.640 was looking to try to take over in Houston. So 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.360 I'm glad I can kind of bring it here. This 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.760 is big for you now. Earlier on the season, I 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.600 believe it was Week five against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.400 Jets get on the board by calling your number. Can 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.760 you take us through that end around? Um? You know 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:32.200 what they call my formation? The formation I'm in, go 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:34.840 line up and you know, Sam calls to play and 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:36.320 Tie is talking to me. He was like, oh, you know, 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:38.760 you just secute the ball getting around the corner on 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.760 serial score. You know, That's exactly how it happened. It's 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.160 probably the easiest touched on our score. That was a 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:49.840 great play call in that area. Uh, sudden change, Um, 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:53.960 And that's exactly what you did yesterday. You needed momentum play. 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:59.160 You gave it. That fouled a turnover takeaway on special teams, Um, 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:03.120 Eagles per suing everybody. The whole stadium was pursuing this 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:07.280 way here, you're coming that way. But that was one 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.600 of the fastest runs in the National Football League this 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.560 season in terms of getting in the end zone. Yeah. 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:15.159 Actually I was surprised. I felt like I got up 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:16.679 to a good speed, but I didn't think I hit 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:18.439 my top speed on the run. So you're one of 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.600 these guys I think, who runs gracefully and you don't 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:25.000 know how fast you're going because you are a tall 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:28.560 guy about six three, a long long strider. Sorry, yeah, 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.240 I think I look up a lot to Uh you 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.680 same boat. You know, he's a big, fast guy. So 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.080 I used to run track and love it. And that's 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:37.919 one of guys look up to in terms of running 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:40.800 and being that big receiver, being six ft three. What 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.200 are some things that you had to work on? Uh, 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.640 you know, being that big, that having that big size 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:47.720 because I know, you know, it's a defensive back with 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:49.840 the big receivers, that's a big target to get your 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.920 hands on them and press coverage. What are some things 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:55.239 that you had to work on and continue to work 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:58.800 on as a wide receiver. I would say just getting 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:00.760 my shoulders lower on the line and playing more of 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:03.480 my hands. Uh, you know, since I can run and 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:04.720 a lot of times I want to give a move 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:06.639 and take off and say I gotta take more time 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.399 at the line, get him off the spot. Kind of 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:11.600 spending more time there and getting comfortable with doing that. 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:15.000 How much is dt to marryous time is helping you out? 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:19.280 Because he was in Houston with yeah, and now you 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:21.720 come over to the Jets and there he is in 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.360 that wide receiving room. Uh. He's a big help. He's 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:25.959 the reason I came over to the Jets. You know, 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.760 when they were um scouting my film, they asked him 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:31.800 about He's like, yeah, bring him in. He's gonna be big. 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:33.760 And like I said, he helped me out in Houston. 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:35.680 I helped him a little bit, you know, with the players, 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:38.359 and held him with everything else. Uh, you know, things 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.280 like just being a professional on and off the field. 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:42.679 He's helped at How would you describe the way he 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.360 goes about his leadership style. But he's, like you mentioned, 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:47.719 guy has been in the National Football League for a 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:51.600 long time and awfully productive receiver. Yeah, he's one of 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:53.640 the guys I like, I said, that takes again very seriously. 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.440 You know. You know some guys, some older guys in 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:58.560 the league. You know, they're kind of like chill, relaxed, 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:01.000 you know, I've done my job. But he takes it 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:03.320 very seriously. You know, he he's in the building a 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:05.800 long time, takes share of his body. Like I said, 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:08.080 he's a real professional. And that's what things I like 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:10.000 to remember from him. And they always talk about the 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:13.080 bonds and in different position groups. You know, offensive line 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:15.760 is supposed to be have all this chemistry, defensive backs. 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:18.600 What is it like in the wide receiver room and 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:20.560 what and how much how important is it for you 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:22.320 all to be on the same page and have that bond. 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.399 All of us have a really different skill set for 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:27.159 the most parting receiver room. I think all of us 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.880 can like do our jobs and know what our job is, 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:32.119 and I think we all respect that a lot. You know, 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:34.199 we want to get the ball spread around more and 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.600 we all want more touches, of course, but you know, 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:38.359 we all respect each other in their jobs and we 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:42.119 want to see each other be successful. How different is 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:46.400 this offensive system then what you were playing in with 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:49.520 the Texans for a couple of seasons and in terms 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:53.480 of in terms of terminology, how difficult is that to 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:56.320 pick it up on the run because you're coming here 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.320
