WEBVTT - A Conversation with Bart Scott About What Is Next for the Jets (1/4) 0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:07.480 Welcome to the Official Jets Podcast. We were presented by 0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:10.040 Win Back. Betty is a team sport bet together at 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:13.680 win But Bart, first things first, Happy New Year to 0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:16.360 you and your family. Hey, Sammy, you man, it's a 0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:18.040 it's a tough one. The only way we can get 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:20.360 through this is as a family, as a Jet family, 0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:22.000 because we are the only ones that can kind of 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:29.560 empathize with our pain today. So where do we start, Bart? Uh, 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:33.479 the Jets are embarking on one final game here in 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.519 the regular season, when just a few weeks ago it 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.880 sure looked like this team was headed for the playoffs 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:43.000 for the first time. So that's two thousand ten. Yeah, 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:47.680 and unfortunately that street continues, Uh, fifteen or twelve years, 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.680 I believe, and you know, we're you know, it's not 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:55.160 even close. Um, And it's unfortunate because the future looks bright, 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:57.760 but you know, the future was also now, and the 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:01.480 opportunity to get to the season, to have an opportunity 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.760 to get that type of necessary experience with a young 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.480 team and a young rostery ahead of schedule. You know, 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:09.560 it all kind of feels a little bit bitter sweet 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.360 now because you see the potential, but you know, you 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.400 don't want to have to carry this for an entire 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.720 year to kind of get that, you know, monkey off 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:20.839 your back, you know, and and to walk around and 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:22.560 it's just it's just one of those tough things that 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.320 they're gonna have to grow from, learn from, and understand 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.560 the consequences of not making it to the postseason. You 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:31.160 talk about turnover. You know, it's gonna be some unfortunate 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:33.679 familiar faces on this roster that won't be here next year. 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:37.520 And you know, really the future begins now, right. You 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:39.960 look at all the scouts and now how important Bowl 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.959 games become in the process, and it's a daunteam long road, 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:47.040 you know, and worrying about how get guy's health. There's 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.400 a lot to digest, and these guys gonna have to 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.360 get away from it. Even the administrator is gonna have 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.080 to get away from it. Management is gonna have to 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.640 get away from it and try and digest it and 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.600 take a breath and say, Okay, it is what it is, 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.160 and how do we move forward. So what do you 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:06.640 point to in terms of a backbreaker? You're seven and 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:10.560 four your Minnesota, you got a big deficit, you come back, 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.040 looks like it's gonna be the fourth quarter magic Again, 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.000 you're not able to convert in the red zone in 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.040 that game one of six. We can go back to 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:22.280 that sequence where it's second and goal from the one. 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.560 Jets aren't able to get it done. The following week 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.440 their game in Buffalo, lose the turnover battle, but it's 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:33.080 a one possession game. Is it, Detroit, though? Is it 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:36.320 when you have that seventeen thirteen lead at the two 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:40.799 minute warning, fourth and one, Golf gets his tight end 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.880 wide open, fifty one yard touched on pass. What was 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.760 the backbreaker? What changed? Because what has happened here the 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:52.480 last two weeks has been really surprising for this team. 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.800 I think if you look at their body of work 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:58.600 over the course of the season, but against Jacksonville, against Seattle, 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.840 not really in those game tames at all well understanding 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.200 how to finish, and this team don't understand how to finish. 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.799 The mentality and the preparation when everybody else was fighting 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:10.880 for their playoff lives and we're able to step up, 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.800 they weren't able to answer the bell. And you know 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.400 that should be the mantra going into next year. You know, 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.320 it's okay to start fast, but you have to finish 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:21.919 and it's a lot of teams that caught the Jets 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.880 because they finished strong, right, And you know, you can't 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:26.919 just get out to fast, and that's usually the sign 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.320 of a young, inexperienced team. They get out fast, but 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.880 as the pressure builds up, they can't handle and answer 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.280 the bell. And you know, you can ask a lot 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:38.320 of factors and consist at the quarterback position. You know, 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.360 the defense seeming like they you know, didn't have the 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.720 same pop. And you know, one of the uh strength 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.560 of this team was the fact that they did rotate 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.440 ten ten ten pass rushers and then when they were 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.120 able to make sure that guys can stay fresh, but 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.720 guys really wore down and you know, they became bad tacklers. 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.120 And yesterday was an example of a team that it's 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.280 more physical, right, and they struggled with that type of 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:06.880 back and those type of backs the entire year. Guys 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.320 that you know were you know, not slightly built. That 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.320 was kind of you know, bigg around the trunk, much 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.240 like Science Sean Green. They struggle and being able to 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.280 take those guys down. So they have to figure out, 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.560 how do we become a better tackling team, How do 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.240 we attack this type of back because Stevenson did the 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.920 same thing to them, right, and then you think about 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.600 Jamal Williams, same type of deal. You gotta be able 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.560 to figure out, you know, when the pads get you know, 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:31.760 when you take the pads off as a defense and 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.440 as a team, how do we still learn how to 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.400 tackle and be professionals to make sure our fundamentals are together, 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:39.880 because all of a sudden they became a bad tackling team, 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.280 and all teams take off the pad usually after November 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.720 because just about over Trich and you can't beat each 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.360 other up and had the physicality and practice. But when 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.720 you're inexperience as a unit, those type of things and 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.520 those bad habits happen. You know, sometimes you gotta put 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.440 the pads back on just to know how to be physical, 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.839 how to take down guys who are running for their lives. 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.239 We expect you guys who play in between the white 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:08.400 lines on Sundays to be superman like White taken off, 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:12.479 you know, coming back to the lineup, re inserted as 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.960 a starter after taking those vicious shots in Buffalo. He 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.720 did not look like himself against the Seahawks, did he 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.599 not at all? Man? You talk about how many balls 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.480 were inaccurate. How many balls were just coming up short. 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.160 You know, you think about the one that mems, You 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.279 think about the one to Garrett Wilson just not really 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.640 having really touching rhythm. You know, not only was he rusty, 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.560 I don't think he had the ability physically to be 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.039 able to put the the torque on the football that 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.440 we had seen from him earlier in the year. And 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.480 he won't make an excuse and talk about you know, 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:46.719 the rails weren't ready. But as soon as you're clear 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:48.960 from the doctors, if you're Mike White, you know you're 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.240 playing for yourself and you're playing for your team, and 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:56.040 this was an opportunity. Rarely do you know, players get 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.159 multiple opportunities to kind of show what they can do 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.840 in this league e spread sheet in those type of situations. 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.159 And I'm sure that you know, he probably won't admit it, 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.839 but he wasn't ready, and you know, he didn't have 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.520 enough time to get a rhythm. What's disappointed this fact 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.039 that this team came off from many by they just 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.560 couldn't figure out how to get her done. And you know, 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.640 one of the recurring things from the last three opponents 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:24.200 was heavy shifting motions, getting the defense. I have to 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.720 move and shift and rotate and change strengths. And they 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.119 just ran back to the open side. And it's that's tough. 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:32.359 You know, you look at the big run. You know 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:36.480 they shift motion, get the defense, E over over, adjust 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.720 and moved to the left and then they running back 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.280 to the right and you know they make make it 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.680 where you know, okay, we're gonna let one guy go 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.479 and if that guy misses with our big backs, then 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:49.120 you know, eight eight and out of the gate. And 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.280 that's that's that's kind of what teams have been doing. 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.520 Jacksonville did the same thing. They ran man beaters and 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:58.240 crossed people up, and you know, unfortunately the defense wasn't 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.360 able to answer the belt. And they after go back 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:01.839 to the drawing board and figure out how do we 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:06.680 finish strong and put put together seventeen great performances. Man. 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.560 Obviously White didn't look like himself. He was clear for contact, 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:14.600 uh twenty three or forty six, was sacked four times. 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.920 I can't even believe I'm asking this question. It's Monday morning, 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:21.040 but I'm gonna ask it again. Uh. Robert Salas said 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.040 last week that White is going to be the starter 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.760 for the remainder of the year. Now you go into 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:29.120 a game against Miami that means everything for the Dolphins, 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:33.120 where you know Sunday night you're going home and that's it. 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.920 Do you stick with White here, uh this final game? 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:41.880 Or do you give him a breather because he's not himself? No? 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:43.880 I mean, I mean, I'm sure Mike White want to 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:45.840 shot at it. Right, he wasn't hisself, but he should 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.080 be stronger next week. And you don't want to go 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.840 back and put put Zack Wilson in that position. He 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:55.480 needs a heavy reset and offseason, being able to put 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:58.480 his head in the books, get stronger work on his craft, 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.400 you know, so you you you stay with Mike White 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.960 because also Mike White is auditioning for thirty two thirty 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:08.040 two football teams including you, right, because he's going to 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.360 be a free agent, and you give him an opportunity 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.120 to not have that be the lasting image of himself. 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:14.800 You know, go out and try and put a good 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.640 performance together, and you know, if you're the Jet, you 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.760 can't finish five. You know, you just gotta go back 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.760 and see what you can do. What's the message? What's 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.520 the take away from watching a guy like Geno Smith 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.600 have a career year with the Seahawks. Obviously he was 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:34.880 very good, very efficient again on Sunday against the Jets. 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.679 But if you're a young quarterback and you look at 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.480 Geno Smith's career arc that started here with the Jets, 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:45.520 what's the takeaway? It ain't over towards over right, and 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.960 opportunities are far in and few in between. And you 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.760 know he had to wait. Just imagine he didn't he 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:54.640 didn't answer the bell. He would say he had a 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.360 lot of mature to do. He maybe wasn't ready for 0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:59.760 the moment. He wasn't ready for the market. And it 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.880 lost some six years of his career to be able 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:06.200 to get another opportunity. You know how rare is that? 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:10.199 And if you're if you're a quarterback, you know sometimes 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:12.559 you know, you get that scarlet letter and they in 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.120 the in the league defines who they believe you are. 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.640 You never get an opportunity show otherwise, at least to 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.040 ever be a starter again. You know, Geneo is a 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:24.000 unique story. I can't recall a story where a player 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.800 didn't play a start somewhere and then takes itself to 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.719 the Pro Bowl and potentially takes his team to the playoffs, 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.640 but you know, late in his career, after not starting 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.600 for six years, able to get potentially a hundred plus 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:39.040 million dollar contract. I mean, outside of rich Gannon, I 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.560 can't think of somebody who had a better redemption story. 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.079 Someone who didn't play, you know, at a high level, 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.200 didn't really get opportunity. They went to the Raiders and 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.080 took that team to the super Bowl. I think one 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:52.600 m v P. It's a wild situation because Seattle, now, 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:55.240 you figure, is gonna give him some sort of an 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:59.880 extension because it looks like first round draft picks. Yeah, 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.800 they have four picks in the first two rounds next year, 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:07.079 and then in the first round from Denver as the 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:10.160 top five pick exactly. So you're looking at that and 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.280 you know they thought that first five that uh, that 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:15.360 number one pick was going to be a quarterback. But 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:18.000 now you can say, Listen is young enough, we can 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.079 go with Gino for the next three to four years. 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.760 Give him a four year deal, four year extension that 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:26.560 locks him under you know contract, and you know, they 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.240 really recouped a lot of that stuff that they got 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.240 that they lost in the jamal Um Adams trade as well, 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.080 which you know, Jamal Adams turned into Garrett Wilson and 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:39.120 also turned into your A b T. That's right, what 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.760 changed in Denver when A v T went out in 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.360 Breece Hall. Now, looking back, the season is not over. 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:48.400 You got one game left. But this team started five 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.720 and two, it started six and three, it started seven 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:55.960 and four. Right now it is seven and nine heading 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.760 into that final game. And since the buy bar, this 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:04.480 offense has eight touchdowns. Wow, I mean the easy scores right, 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:06.720 and you look at you know a couple of games 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.559 where they were just run blitz and Darren the quarterbacks 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.280 to make plays and whether it was Mike Wider or 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.760 Zach Wilson and Joe Flacco, they just couldn't get it done. 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:16.680 And you know, A b T created so much balance. 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.840 He was so valuable. His ability to be able to 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.560 be whatever you needed him to be was vital to 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.240 this team. And they also lost a lot of the 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.120 athleticism being able to get you know, a guy who 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.880 can pull get to the next level, cut off linebackers 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.480 and and utilize it that way. I mean it would 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.600 be a Ciphers sore eyes. Hopefully Beckton can finally stay 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.720 healthy and we can have a team, but they know 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.400 that the strength was depth, and they lost that depth 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:46.520 really quickly, and eventually they just couldn't overcome the lack 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:50.760 of you know, fundamental starters or players would experience. Yeah, 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.599 we wheels totally fell off an offensive line, right. It 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.640 was a miraculous job John Benton was doing. For a while. 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.720 It felt like no matter who came in a lineup, 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.520 they were gonna come in and they we're gonna play. Well. 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.640 We go back to that Buffalo game when the Jets 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:09.120 had that drive at the end to win it, where 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.960 they just ran it down their throat and you're thinking, 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.520 this can go on forever. But those guys are fresh, 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.240 and then what happens is when you overextend backups. You 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.640 know they don't have the experience, they don't have the 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.320 dourability to continue to play at a high level. I 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.880 think Dwayne Brown started to break down. It was admirable 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:26.920 what he was doing, but you asked way too much trouble. 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.160 I mean, at this point, you you know you probably 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.199 should have used something like Dallas Cowboys, use Jason Peters 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.040 coming in, spilling guys out, playing on the pitch count. 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:36.800 You know this count got up too high and you 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.280 asked way too much of him, especially going against the 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.640 best athletes on every team you know at the left 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.319 tackle position, and you're, like I said, you know you 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.480 you you would expect their hope that you can have 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.160 a time where Beckton can stay healthy for a whole season, 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.000 a BT can stay healthy for a whole season, and 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.760 you can have what you expected, you know, three Pro 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:58.800 Bowl caliber type of lineman. When you think about lengthen 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.120 you think about, you know, a v T and you 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:03.920 think about Beckton. That should be your bail cous and 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.120 that's what you hope that you can get and be 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.439 able to get good play from the other two positions. 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.720 Win bet is bringing the excitement of wind Las Vegas 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:15.400 to online sports betting and casino play.

Yeah, you know what I was thinking about 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:06.679 watching Kenneth Walker on Sunday. Damn. It's a shame that 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.880 the Jets don't have Breese Hall out here because it 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.160 would have been fun to watch both of those backs 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:14.840 on the same field. But for the Jets, it was 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:19.000 not in the card. Sauce Gardner four p d s yesterday, 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:22.800 first time Pro Bowler. He is going to be the 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.560 defensive rookie of the year. He should be in All Pro. 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.200 Where does he rank in terms of cornerbacks right now? 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.920 Just take away the rookies like throughout the National Football League? 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.080 How good is this guy? I mean, I think he's 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:38.640 definitely top five independent who you who you favor? You know, 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.480 it changes up and down. Um, But for me, the 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.600 best corner in the league to me all year in 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:48.440 my opinion, it's been um josr Alexander and I think 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.320 he came in from last year as the number one guy, 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.640 and you know, because their team wasn't winning a lot, 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.360 I think he got overshadow. But you know, you know, 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.920 you can make a case for Patrick Shortan who's a 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.600 young guy as well, to make a case for Sauce. 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.760 You can make a case for Tyreek when you know 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.760 he made some outstanding plage yesterday too, dropped a couple 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.800 of picks. Um, he's his future as bright as well. 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:13.560 You know Latimore came back. He's been that dude, he's 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.640 been injured, big place Sleigh. You know, it's it's it's 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:18.920 it's it's some time the guys out there that that's 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.440 capable being on islands. You started your career in Baltimore, 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:26.000 multiple playoff appearances there. Then he came here and you 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:29.240 had oh nine and ten, so you weren't in this 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:33.840 situation a ton. What what do you think it's gonna 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:37.880 be like for these players in these coaches this week? 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:41.560 And how do you go about your business knowing what 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:45.440 slipped through your fingers? But you still have a game 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:49.560 against the division rival on tap. When you're young, you 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.040 just you don't know, you're just excited to be playing football. 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.520 So like the young guys on the team are excited, 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.160 the older guys they want to go out and they 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:58.600 want to go out with a win because they know, 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:02.479 you know, quite frankly, it can be their last opportunity 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.320 to play on this team because decisions are going to 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.840 be made, and clearly this team wasn't good enough to 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.359 get to where they needed to go. So the consequences 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:13.160 are they're gonna have to upgrade some positions and guys 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.720 gonna start looking at their cap numbers. And this is 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:17.840 gonna be the first time for these young guys to 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.840 see the consequences of falling short of your goal, Like 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.600 falling short of your goal cost people their jobs, and 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:25.560 you know, it's gonna be gods, that's gonna understand. They 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:27.600 got high cap numbers. It's gonna be decisions are gonna 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.320 be made. It's gonna be contracts that has to be 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.040 extended or added. And you think about Quinny Williams, think 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.480 about c. J. Mosley, you know, but you know, tough 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.840 decisions like you know, Dwayne Brown, tough decisions like Carl Last, 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:43.120 and tough decisions like Corey Davis, right, And I think 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.280 this is important for young guys to understand that you 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:49.120 take advantage of every year because you just never know 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.480 like who you're gonna lose, or when it's your time 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.360 to to to maybe be a decision that was made 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.000 in a different light. Yeah, but to that point, and 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.880 that's why I was mad if you weeks ago where 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:02.960 people are saying, well, the Jets are had a schedule, 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.680 but you just said it right there. Yeah, maybe people 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:10.439 outside didn't expect them to be where they're at and 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.760 the opportunity at hand, but they didn't have the opportunity 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.680 at hand. And you never know what changes year to year. Yeah, 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:18.680 I mean, you don't know if you're gonna be healthy 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:20.439 next year. You don't know if the other teams in 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.080 your division are just gonna get that much better, right, 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:24.920 You don't know what decision they're gonna make, and you 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:26.959 could be a better team, but they can, you know, 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:29.520 pass you. And then you find yourself in on that 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.880 perpetual you know, treadmill where it's like, man, we're better, 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:34.800 but man, we got a tough schedule this year. We 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.160 lost some tough ones. That's why every year you gotta 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:38.639 take advantage of but you just don't know if you're 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.200 gonna get the opportunity you have another chance. You laiter 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.680 all out there, and these guys are laying on all 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.760 out there. But when Mosley says after the Jacksonville game, 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:49.560 and god, he's spent so good throughout the year, that 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:53.200 we didn't match the intensity of the Jaguars, And then 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:57.199 Tyler Conklin says after the Seattle game, which the Jets 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.560 lose twenty three to six, that we were flat. As 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.439 a former player, when you hear things like that, what 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:06.760 goes through your mind. Flats an excuse, right when you 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:10.640 say flat, that's just that's another word for execution and 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.800 them being able to You know, I thought that Seattle 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.879 once again had a tremendous scheme. They blitzed early in 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:19.200 the down once they realized and figured out, hey, man, 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:21.880 Mike White ain't Mike White, and you know he ain't 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:24.919 really been he's coming up short on these balls, he's missing. 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.640 He's rusty, man. There's no need for us to sit 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:30.439 back and play coverage. Let's light them up. And so 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:33.880 early in downs they run blitzed, much like the Lions did. 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:35.960 The Lions run blitzed early and down to get you 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:38.760 behind the sticks. And you know, the Jets didn't make 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:41.640 enough place to make them respect. They didn't have enough balance. 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:43.480 And I thought they were running the ball really good, 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:46.560 but the defense came out and they gave up a 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:50.040 touchdown first drive. And that's that's not the recipe for success. 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.040 But the Jets they're not built to put up a 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:54.160 bunch of points, and they were putting up the field 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:57.720 goals and not putting up touchdowns. They didn't answer, and 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:00.040 when you don't answer, you know you have to you 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.199 have to pay the consequences. And the consequences was that 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:05.239 you walk away with not what you want. It hit 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:07.600 the nail and I hide with this Jets defense. Right, 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.840 Can you speak to that a little bit, because you know, 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:14.960 I think it processing everything. When you look at this 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:18.760 system and the way Solo wants it built, it's to 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:21.480 come after the quarterback and a lot of that is 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:25.280 predicated on the lead. So if you don't have the lead, 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.960 then you're not playing the strength of your system, obviously, 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:31.600 and they need some fat boys. Right when you look 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:33.920 at you look at Seattle in the same system, right, 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:35.520 you know that you would think they got the same 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:38.439 philosophy I mean I saw you know read you know 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:40.399 that you know, used to play with Willie used to 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:42.440 be on the on the on the on the Stillers. 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:45.880 It was about three sixty, right, you know number nineties seven, 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.240 he was about three sixty. The Jets don't have a 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:50.080 player like that. The only player they had that was 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:52.320 close to that last year was Fatakazi, and it's a 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:54.119 it's a hole in the gap in their system. They 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:56.919 need a big, massive man. They eat up double teams. 0:19:57.119 --> 0:19:59.400 So then now it's you know, it's five on five 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.760
