1
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: Welcome to another installment of Jets Audibles. Eric Allen here

2
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: with my partner Chad Pennington. Well, Chad, you saw it

3
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: in person and then you went back down to Kentucky

4
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: and checked out the Jets dismantling of the Tennessee Titans

5
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: by a thirty to eight score. What stood out to

6
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: you about the way the Green and White won their

7
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: third straight game. Well, Eric, first of all, I think

8
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 1: it's important to know that a winning team did what

9
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: a winning team was supposed to do, and a losing

10
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: team did what a losing team normally does. And that's

11
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: what happened in this game. The winning team being the Jets,

12
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: and having trying to make a playoff push, did what

13
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: winners were supposed to do, and that's make plays that

14
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: were there, take advantage of opportunities, not allow a team

15
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: that is struggling to stay in the game. And the

16
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: Jets were able to do that with zero halftime leave

17
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: That was really important. I was impressed with the efficiency.

18
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: First of all, the Jets offense only three punts and

19
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: all of them those came I believe in the second half.

20
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure that they even had a three

21
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: and ount um if they did it was in the

22
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: drive that didn't matter. They even when they didn't score point, uh,

23
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: they were moving the football effectively and they had a

24
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: nice combination of the run in the past, the flash

25
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: and game came in big time for them as an offense. Defensively,

26
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: they were a solid uh four sacks. Wilkerson with three sacks,

27
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: did a lot of really good things coverage wise. So

28
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: I think we are seeing a team in the last

29
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: three weeks UM that is really coming together and starting

30
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: to put together complete games, and they're hitting their stride,

31
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: which is extremely important in these last three weeks of

32
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: trying to make them playoff run in your mind, chat,

33
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: was that the most complete thirty minutes of football the

34
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: Jets have played this year? It was complete. As far

35
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: as the result, there were certainly a couple of plays

36
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: that need to be corrected, uh in the defensive side

37
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: where the Titans just flat out did not make the play.

38
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: They dropped the ball and didn't make the play, and

39
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: so that needs to be corrected. But as far as

40
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: the result and what you're trying to get accomplished in

41
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: a half football, no question about it. Howard Couraged, are

42
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: you by the run game and what the Jets were

43
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: able to do and put up nearly two hundred yards

44
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: against a tough Titans front, and Chris Ivory reaches a

45
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: hundred yards for the third time the season, and now

46
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: he's closing in on a thousand yards well the first time.

47
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: Impressed by the effort all three running backs are giving

48
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: in the running game. You watch all three of these guys,

49
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: they run similar I think that is because of the

50
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: way Chris Ivory runs the football in the example that

51
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: he sets running the football. All three of these running

52
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: backs Ivory pal and really they run in a similar

53
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: fashion meme. They run um, not recklessly, but passionately. They

54
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: run with a purpose. They're not running just to get

55
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: tackled or to go out of bounds or fighting for

56
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: that extra yard. That's important in your running game as

57
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: you move through the season because defenders start to wear

58
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: down and that physicality of your running game becomes a

59
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: tone center. And so I thought that the Jets offensive

60
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: line did a really good job of taking care of

61
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: the eighth element when the Titans were trying to defend

62
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: the run, and they were still creating holes even when

63
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: they were outnumbered and giving the running back some daylight

64
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: and not allowing quick penetration early in the run played

65
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: where the running backs get started and they weren't having

66
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: to make their first cut or their first move until

67
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: they penetrated the line of scrimp. Can you imagine it before?

68
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: Were the game when we're in the coaches club that

69
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: you wanted to see the special teams step up? And

70
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: I thought they really did, especially early. The Jets kept

71
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: on scoring, but their kickoff coverage was a lot better.

72
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: I thought they had improved in that area on Sunday.

73
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: I agree there weren't any true explosive plays, but there

74
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: weren't any major negative plays either, and there weren't any

75
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: game changing place from a negative side with kick coverage

76
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: and and mistakes and mental air. So that's certainly an

77
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: improvement something that they can expand upon and build upon

78
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: for these next three weeks. What do you think about

79
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: the way Bulls and Casey Rodgers continue to attack on

80
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: third down? Because Tomorio Davis told me, uh this this

81
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: week that, A, you know, these guys have a tremendous package,

82
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: and they really opened things up on third down showing

83
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: different looks, and the Green and White continue to get

84
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: off the field right now. Well, First of all, they're

85
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: doing a good job. They're solid in first and second

86
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: down production to create the third down situations that they want,

87
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: so they can use their schemes to their advantage. When

88
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: you're behind the change as a defense, it's it's difficult

89
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: to implement those schemes because you're on your heels and

90
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: you're just trying to stop the bleeding. And so they're

91
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: able to eliminate the first and second down production and

92
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: now be ahead of the game and ahead of the

93
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: sticks from a defensive standpoint to be able to implement

94
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: some of these schemes. The one thing that I saw

95
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: that they've started to implement and do uh An add

96
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: to their package is their matchup zone where it's similar

97
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: to the game of basketball where you're playing zone, but

98
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: you're matching up and when the offender comes into your area,

99
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: now you have him man and that that makes it

100
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: difficult because that's a mixture of zone and man, and

101
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: when you have those things oiled up, it can be

102
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: very effective for defense. Gives you another tool in your

103
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: toolbox to use. So not only are they using zone,

104
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: not only are they using straight man. Now they're using

105
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: matchup zones, which gives them a lot of different tools

106
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: and weapons to use in their coverage schemes. And you

107
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: think the Jets are creating matchups up front, one on

108
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: one matchups that they've been able to exploit. You mentioned

109
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: the sack totals they had five and all against the Titans,

110
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: and Mariota is an elusive quarterback and we can get

111
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: out of the pocket. But the Jets did their job

112
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: is staying in their rush lanes and none they got

113
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: to the quarterback. Well on what they're doing a really

114
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: good job of their testing the rules of past protections

115
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: of these teams. Every offensive scheme and every team they

116
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: have specific rules to pass protect and protect the quarterback with.

117
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: And you have rules that are running back has, you

118
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: have rules that tight ends have and that the five

119
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: offensive linemen have, and all those rules work hand in hand,

120
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: and everybody has to understand the rules and who has

121
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: what gap, who's responsible for what defender, who's responsible for gap,

122
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: and certain things happen. We have to make an adjustment

123
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: on the fly based upon our rules and what um

124
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: the defense is doing in the scheme that they're using.

125
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: As the Jets defenses are using, they're testing those rules

126
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: and they're creating hesitancy in an offensive line. They're creating

127
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: um lack of aggression with the quarterback and trying to

128
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: and they're just creating a lot of communication problems. And

129
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: so that's that's really important because sometimes it's not about

130
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: whether or not you can get a guy free on

131
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback. It's just testing those rules to create an

132
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: edge and be able to get one of your best

133
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: one on one players in a position to win his

134
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: one on one matchup. And then conversely on the other

135
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: side of the ball. I know you have to be

136
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: enjoying the way Ryan Fitzpatrick and Jan Gaily continue to

137
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: be in sync because this offense is operating with high

138
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: efficiency so far, and they continue to get better the

139
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. You look get fits now over

140
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: the past three games, the Jets three game winning streak

141
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: here the first of the Top Bowls ERA nine touchdowns,

142
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: zero interceptions. Well, that's the word um efficiency and Van

143
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: Hitting used to always talk to us as quarterbacks about

144
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: being effective, efficient, and consistent, and that's what Ryan Fitzpatrick

145
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: is doing right now. He's being effective in the passing game,

146
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: meaning executing the place correctly. He's being efficient in the

147
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: passing game meaning that when the big play or the

148
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: big completion is not there, he's finding his check down,

149
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: finding his secondary routes. And because of those two things,

150
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: he's now being consistent in the passing game, and it's

151
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: something that the team can rely on that they're not

152
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: just using the passing game to get a big chunk

153
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: of yards. They're using the passing game as an extension

154
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: of the running game. I think what has happened to

155
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: now that the running game is picking back up. You

156
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: saw the evidence in play action from the gun from

157
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: underneath and being able to draw up the linebackers and

158
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: creating space between the linebackers and the secondary. With the

159
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: play action game which has allowed Decker and Marshall to

160
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: uh do some really good things downfield. Fitz doesn't really

161
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: seem to ever get rattled. And you gotta like that

162
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: as a former quarterback, the way you approach the game

163
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: yourself and just thinking about Gaily and him in the

164
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: red zone. You know that first touchdown the other day,

165
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall, he was on the sideline and what fits

166
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: did their play action to Chris Ivory, like you mentioned,

167
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: that was out of the gun, A little play action

168
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: he freezes a safety just long enough where Eric Decker

169
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: has well one on one matchup games inside leverage and

170
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: Fitz makes it look easy. But it's all the little

171
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: things that Jets are doing right now. And he even

172
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: picked up a block from Ivory after the play action

173
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: well right, And it takes everybody to execute a play

174
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 1: in another's a cliche, but it's truly does the difference

175
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: between the offensive football and defensive football. And defense sometimes

176
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: you can have a mistake and somebody makes a great

177
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: tackle or makes up for it. Normally, in an offense,

178
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: if everybody's not clicking on the same page and making

179
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: them right the season at the same time, disaster happens

180
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: and you have a lack of production. And so you're

181
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: getting more consistency with everybody across the offensive side doing

182
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: their job and doing it effectively. And and you know,

183
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: the touchdown, the first touchdown to Decker was a great

184
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: example of that, with the past protection, the play action fake,

185
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: the freeze of the safety to keep him from moving

186
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: to the right side of the field to allow a

187
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: Decker to run his post route. Uh, there's some really

188
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: good what I call high level football. There was some

189
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: high level football going on with that play. As well

190
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: as with the Jets in general. When it comes to offense,

191
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: the Decker and Marshall, are you surprised by this kind

192
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: of production? You play with Brandon, you knew he was

193
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: a terrific receiver, but these guys have never played gather

194
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: with this quarterback before, and they've combined for twenty touchdowns.

195
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: Ducker is on pace to reach a thousand yards as well.

196
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: The twenty touchdowns ties a franchise season high for two receivers. Well,

197
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,599
Speaker 1: when you look at their individual capabilities, I'm not surprised

198
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: at their production. I'm surprised that it's been able to come,

199
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: like you said, so quickly, knowing that, uh, their teammates

200
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: for the first time together. Uh, they have a quarterback

201
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: that they're working for the first time that doesn't happen,

202
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: and so that that is a tribute to them as

203
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: receivers as well as Ryan as a Venter quarterback. And

204
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,599
Speaker 1: the work that they're putting in, the communication and the

205
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: talks that they're having trying to learn each other and

206
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: to get better. I think that's been most impressive. When

207
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: you look at the passage, what do you think about

208
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: this ballgame coming up? You've got a short week. Dallas

209
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: has struggled mightily this year. Four and nine, I think

210
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: they still might mathematically be alive, but there are even

211
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: two games behind in the NFC East. They are just

212
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: one in five at home so far this season. And

213
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: the number that stands out to me about the Cowboys

214
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: right now last in the NFL in turnover margin. They've

215
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: had only I believe eight takeaways this season. Well, this

216
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: is a what we would call a wounded animal so

217
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: to speak. That, um, you certainly don't want to breathe

218
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: life into uh. And right there is your number one

219
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: point to this game, Eric is the turnover ratio and

220
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: the ability of being able to cause turnovers you do

221
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: not want to get. This is a complete turnover game

222
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: for the Jets. They've got to make sure that they

223
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: do not breathe life into the Cowboys by having turnovers

224
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: and and being able to give the Cowboys a short

225
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: field momentum, a spark. You have to to try to

226
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: see if Matt Castle can prove to you that he

227
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: can beat you straight up with no easy ones and

228
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: no help. And if they do that, I think the

229
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: Jets will will win this game. If if they make

230
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: Matt Castle and the Cowboys play as solid four quarters

231
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: without any help from either side. Are you somewhat surprised

232
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: by the Cowboys lack of offense production? I know Tony

233
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: Romo is elite quarterback and he's outstanding, and obviously that's

234
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: a big time blow. With that being said, castles by

235
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: effective at times in the National Football League. They still

236
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: have some weapons there, Darren mcvadden, you think about Jason Witten,

237
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: one of the better UH receiving tight ends in football.

238
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: Does Brian is still an outstanding receiver in his own right.

239
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: Have you been surprised their struggles so much, how much

240
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: they've struggled without Romo the lineup I have, I would

241
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: think with all of the players that you have mentioned

242
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: that they would shouldn't be around the six and seven range,

243
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: off the four nine range when it comes to records,

244
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: and so I have been surprised. Um, but you know,

245
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: it's difficult and you're dealing with injuries. You you take

246
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: a big time I think it shows the value that

247
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: Tony Romo brings to that team. And maybe there's a

248
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: self evaluation to say, maybe we put too much on

249
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: Tony Romo. Maybe maybe we you know, we I think

250
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: a lot of times he gets um the short end

251
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: of the stick as far as criticism, but you are

252
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: seen he his true value to that organization and he

253
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: means a lot to that organization. And maybe as an organization,

254
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: you've got to look at and say, well, how do

255
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: what do we do to give him the best chance

256
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: to even be better than what he is? Maybe we've

257
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: put too much on him, because it certainly has shown

258
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: itself this year with his absence. It's almost like they

259
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: can't function without him. No, and how much confidence? How

260
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: much confidence do you have in this Jets team now

261
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: by what they've shown you the last three games, especially

262
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, because you know the way the

263
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: media is a lot of people who put it in

264
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: the players minds that hey, potentially this might be a

265
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: trap game after an emotional comeback victory over the Giants.

266
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: But the Jets, I thought, really displayed the maturity last week.

267
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: So moving forward, how do you anticipate they'll come out

268
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: here Saturday night as they continue to try to make

269
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: a push. Well, I hope they come out energized, fired up,

270
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: realizing the opportunity that they have. This game reminds me

271
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: of the Monday night game into the Bigs against the

272
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: Dolphins where we have to win that game as a

273
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: Jet team to continue our playoff push. That's certainly one

274
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: of those type of games that the Jets are in

275
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: right now. Um, they have a great momentum and energy

276
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: behind them with the three game winning streak that they

277
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: have created, but it will be a tough game until

278
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: you have to take the mindset that Cowboys aren't going

279
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: to go away. You have to put the m away

280
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: as a team. You can't expect any type of breaks

281
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: going your way. You have to earn everything and you

282
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: really have to play close to the vest and realizing

283
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: that we cannot give them any daylight, that we cannot

284
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: give them any line at the end of the tunnel

285
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: as a team to create that spark to make them

286
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: think that they can squeak out a win. Alright, Jets

287
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: fans are in for a treat this weekend because it's

288
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: Saturday night prime time. They can watch that ball game.

289
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: Hopefully the Jets can secure their fourth consecutive win and

290
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: move to nine and five. Then on Sunday, a lot

291
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: of Jets Nation will turn to Pittsburgh in Denver, the

292
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: Steelers hosting the Denver Broncos. The Steelers of course eight

293
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: and five right now, the Kansas City Chiefs eight and

294
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: five as well. When you look at that ball game,

295
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: what fascinates you about that matchup? Well, I think that

296
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: the Steelers are like a shot and bloody water right now. Um,

297
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: with the injury to Andy Dawton. Uh, you're talking about

298
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: having life to a team realizing that you actually have

299
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: a chance to win a division and uh, whereas before

300
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: you were just trying to hold onto your wild card

301
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: plane life and now you actually have a chance to

302
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: possibly steal a division, which is huge. And so I

303
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: think this is a huge game for both teams. Uh,

304
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: Steelers having a chance to try to win the a

305
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: f C North, the Broncos trying to secure a first

306
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: round by which is huge. So this is the biggest

307
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: game of the week when it comes to the a

308
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: f C playoff picture. And uh, right now, to be honest,

309
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: I think the Steelers have the edge, I really do.

310
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: And how they're playing, uh, their offense, this is gonna

311
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: be a great match to watch. A very explosive Todd

312
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: Haley orchestrated offense with Pittsburgh against a Denver defense that

313
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: that's extremely stinging and so it will be a really

314
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: good matchup to watch from a football same point, Yeah,

315
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: and I think Jets Nation is definitely gonna be rooting

316
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: for the Denver Broncos here is Sunday. Obviously, Pittsburgh's eight

317
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: and five. But conversely, you just mentioned the Broncos and Cincinnati.

318
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: Both those teams have ten and three marks. They play

319
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: each other in two weeks, So if Pittsburgh did beat

320
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: Denver this week, that would mean the Broncos are ten

321
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: and four, and then all of a sudden, the division

322
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: might be in play for the Kansas City Chiefs as well.

323
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: So when everybody's trying to break down these wild cards scenarios,

324
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: it's awfully difficult because there are three games remaining and

325
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: some of these teams are still gonna play each other well,

326
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: and that's what this year has been extremely exciting in

327
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: in that element, as far as we thought we had

328
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: a good vibe about what would happen at the division leaders,

329
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: and with the wild card spots, it look like that

330
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: the division leaders were taking care of business other than

331
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: the a f C South, which is completely up for

332
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: grabs and you're only going to get one team coming

333
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: out of that division. But now You're exactly right. Not

334
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: only do you have your wild card spots up for grabs,

335
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: you maybe possibly have two division spots up for grabs

336
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: as well, which a couple of weeks ago looked like

337
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: that was completely out of a question, and now it's

338
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: completely in the question. Yeah, because who's gonna make the

339
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: push here? Because that Pittsburgh Dunver game is huge across

340
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: the board speaking about two divisions and the wild card race,

341
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: because if Pittsburgh wins, obviously maybe they can make a

342
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: move on Cincinnati. Conversely, if Dunver wins that, I mean,

343
00:19:55,320 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: if Dunver wins that ball game, then your talk and

344
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: about you're talking about I'm looking at the standings right now.

345
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: So Pittsburgh wins, they're going to nine and five. Cincinnati, Um,

346
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's ten and three. But let's let's move to the

347
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: FC West real quick. So if Denver wins, then Pittsburgh

348
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: would drop to eight and six and the Jets could

349
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: have a chance to move ahead of Pittsburgh no matter

350
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: what happens, just based on record. And then you have

351
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: the Broncos sitting here. If they lose Kansas City, the

352
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: division comes and play for them, because Kansas City is

353
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: at nine and five, Chad and Denver would be ton

354
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: and four, and if they ever got a chance where

355
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: they even up there, they would move past Denver because

356
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: they have a better divisional record. Yeah, here's the bottom

357
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: line for the Jets. They need both division leaders um

358
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: to win and they need the two hald card spot

359
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: teams to lose because if the wild card spot teams

360
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: continue to win and the division leaders lose, the problem

361
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: with that the Jets have is that these division leaders

362
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: already have ten wins and so it would get really

363
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: dicey at the end. Knowing that they already have can win.

364
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 1: All they need is one win out the last three

365
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: games to get to eleven, which really makes it difficult

366
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: for the Jets. But if you have a flip flop

367
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: in division leaders, those division leaders then probably become the

368
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: wild card spots and the wild card spots become the

369
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: division leaders. That's probably the worst scenario for the Jets.

370
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: Whereas if the division leaders stay the division leaders in

371
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: Cincinnati in Denver and the wild card spots continue to lose,

372
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: that bodes well for the Jets and securing that wild

373
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: card position. The bottom line is, we'll see what happens

374
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: and Todd Bull said, hey, I'm just rooting for our

375
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,719
Speaker 1: team right now, and we'll lift up We'll lift up

376
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: our hide at that end of the season. But with

377
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: all that being said, you know, the way this league works,

378
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: funny and strange things happen. I think if the Jets

379
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: went out, they'll get in. I'm not saying I haven't

380
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: gone through any scenarios and went through oh this has

381
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: to happen or that has to happen, or things like that.

382
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: I just think if you want out and you got

383
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: to eleven, history tells you that's gonna earn your playoff berth.

384
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: No question. I have witnessed where eleven and five did

385
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: not get a team two and eight. There's no question

386
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: about it. Um the Jets, they continue to win. They

387
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: not only put put themselves in a good position, they

388
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: put pressure on the other team. And and you're you're

389
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: taking your your fade into your own hands, which that's

390
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: what you want. And you know, lastly here what I

391
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: like is that this is a short week, so the

392
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: Jets don't even have to worry about the Patriot talk

393
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: to you know, right now they're getting more questions about

394
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and Kansas City than they are in New England.

395
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: And that's good because two weeks the Jets will face

396
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots at home. Are you ready for a couple

397
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: of questions? Absolutely? All right. Let's take our first call, Chad, Eric,

398
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: how you doing. It's Erica Jets found down here in Miami.

399
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: You got a question for you guys. With Devin Smith

400
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: potentially out for the rest of the year, who do

401
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: you see picking up the slack? Either Curly and his

402
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: migraines or Kemberal Tompkins coming off to that connective list.

403
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: Thank you have a great day, guys. All right, Chead,

404
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: that's a good question, obviously, Uh, tough blow for the rookies.

405
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: Battled injuries throughout his first professional season, Todd Bull said

406
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: it's likely that Smith will be placed on injured reserve.

407
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: Who do you see stepping up now for the Jets? Well,

408
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: I actually think, um the biggest factor in this is

409
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: below Powell. I think he is actually becoming the third

410
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: option in the passing game for the Jets, which is

411
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: is unique number one because he's a run back, but

412
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: number two. It really creates some mismatches and some great

413
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: opportunities for the Jets offense. It's really similar to how

414
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,479
Speaker 1: New England uses uses their running backs to do the

415
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: same thing. From the receiver standpoint, it's just going to

416
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: be by committee on who shows up, whether it be

417
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: Curly or noon Law, any one of those guys that

418
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: just show up and make a play or two in

419
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: each game. I don't think it's gonna be just one guy.

420
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: I think that third option, in that third element to

421
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: the passing game really centers around below Pale and I

422
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: agree with you there. And my final point before call

423
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: her number two is noon Y Miss. Four games you

424
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: were suspended. Now you see him come back, and the

425
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 1: Jets love his blocking ability and all by the way,

426
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: the Jets are starting to run the football a little

427
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: bit better. Let's take call number two. Hey, guys, I

428
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: just wanted to ask, what is it gonna take to

429
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: actually the New England Patriots whenever they come to my life? Um,

430
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: you know the last games he played against them? Um,

431
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: you know I've always been close. You know, the games

432
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: are always Mary and Tans and very physical. Um, I mean,

433
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: but what was it gonna take to it to finally

434
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: beat them? You know we play them that meant live stadium. Um,

435
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: you know there's a lot of there's a lot of

436
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: states for us in these Glass three games. Yeah, so

437
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: the fan is asking about next week's ball game, the

438
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: Jets and the Patriots, and you know it, Chad, You're

439
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: anticipating a tough ball game and Dallas this week. But

440
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: so the Jets gotta get through that first. But the

441
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: keys for this team to beat the Patriots. I think

442
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: the key lines in the offense of the Jets versus

443
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots defense. I don't think from my standpoint, um,

444
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady versus the Jets defense, it is what it is.

445
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: There's gonna be some places that the Jets makes, They're

446
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: gonna be some places that the Patriots make. I think

447
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: the key is the Jets offense, uh and being a

448
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: to sustained drives, not have three an ounce and really

449
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: put the pressure on the Patriots defense. That's where the

450
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: game lies because you're going to have to score thirty point.

451
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: That's just the way that it is. Um. The Patriots

452
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: will have some key players back into the fold, which

453
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: will be important for them and create some mismatches for

454
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: any defense, but it will lie in the efficiency and

455
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: effectiveness of the Jets offense. And I agree with you,

456
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: and we'll go We're gonna get into that matchup big

457
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: time next week. There'll be plenty of time for that.

458
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: The thing that stands out to me about this Patriots

459
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: team is the defense is playing better than I've seen

460
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: it in a long time. That's a legit unit and

461
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: one of the better units in the National Football League defensively.

462
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: So they're more than just Brady Gakowski, Ottoman Amadola and

463
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: all those guys whoever is playing running back. This team

464
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: is the complete ball team. We'll talk more about that

465
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: matchup next week. And I finally got one more call.

466
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: Ye hey, this messages for Chad. I wanted to know

467
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: if he was running the offense right now, what would

468
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: he do differently or what does he think that Fitzpatrick

469
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: is being exceptionally well? Thank you all right, Chad. I

470
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't do anything different right now. I think that they

471
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: are completely dialed in as an offensive staff as well

472
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: as players in what they want to get accomplished and

473
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: being able to accomplish it. I think the one thing

474
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: that has stuck out in my mind with Fitzpatrick over

475
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, when he hasn't had the

476
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: big playthrow, he has done a really good job of

477
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: finding his his checkdowns and being able to get positive

478
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: yards when the defense has actually covered Brandon Marshall or

479
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: Eric Decker or his one or number two options. He

480
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: has found his number three and number four options uh

481
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: and very consistently, which has kept drives alive and keep

482
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: them in manageable third down situation. Has done a really

483
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: good job of that. Secondly, he's been impressive and when

484
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 1: things break down being able to extend and play with

485
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: his feet get a couple of yards to get down

486
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: and protect himself. And he stayed away from that disaster

487
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: decision that can create momentum for the opponent. He's done

488
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: a really good job in eliminating those type of decisions

489
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: and played very effective, very efficient, and very consistent. Well done.

490
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: As always, you have a good weekend, partner. We'll talk

491
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: to you next week and we'll preview that big Jets

492
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: Patriots matchup. Hopefully the Green and White are nine and

493
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: five and hey, maybe Sunday they get a little bit

494
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: of help. Absolutely. Thanks Eric,
