Speaker 1: home games. Jets came back off the road swing on
Speaker 1: and two. But you you playing your new home, that
Speaker 1: Life Stadium and takedown the Dolphins a dominant fashion. Then
Speaker 1: you beat the Jacksonville Jaguars, Okay, a totally different game.
Speaker 1: What was the atmosphere are like playing your first two
Speaker 1: regular season games at my Life Stadium? I mean, it
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. Uh, you know, it was a great feeling. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, my first one, so I was very excited.
Speaker 1: I mean just to run out there and see all
Speaker 1: the green, you know, it was very excited. Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: you always hear about matlife, but you know, just you know,
Speaker 1: running out of the time and being a part of
Speaker 1: it for pristance mean, it was great. How much did
Speaker 1: you guys feed off the fans and vice versa, because
Speaker 1: there were times during those timeouts where they got the
Speaker 1: music blaring, everybody's in their seats, They're jumping out of
Speaker 1: their seats, and that place was rocket right. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's great. The energy and there was unbelievable, you know,
Speaker 1: just being out there and you know, having the fans
Speaker 1: behind us, and you know they're getting us excited, you know,
Speaker 1: and they're loving watching they love watching playing us. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, it's been great just to be out there.
Speaker 1: You remember those days absolutely flexing on on on the
Speaker 1: white on whites. You know what I'm saying. Yesterday that
Speaker 1: was the first time I saw the Jets with the
Speaker 1: white face mask. The white face mask are all fire.
Speaker 1: We need those for all sixteen regular season games in
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Now, now you're you're a young safety. Growing up,
Speaker 1: I got I guess I got two quarss. Growing up?
Speaker 1: Who did you look who did you look up to?
Speaker 1: And who do you monitor your game after? Now? Growing up,
Speaker 1: you know, I enjoyed watching you know every uh you
Speaker 1: know Sean Taylor, Bryan Dawkins. Uh, you know just you
Speaker 1: know those name guys. Uh, the way they play, you know,
Speaker 1: the way they control the field. You know, I just
Speaker 1: enjoy it, and you know I try to, you know,
Speaker 1: model just a little bit of that. What do you
Speaker 1: think about those three part I'll tell you what. Man
Speaker 1: I played with quick Uh, to me, the best football
Speaker 1: player I've ever played with. And you know, I played
Speaker 1: with ray Lewis, I played with Reevers, I played with
Speaker 1: t Sizzle. Um to me and Read, it's the best
Speaker 1: safety I believe to ever play the game. You know
Speaker 1: a lot of people like to make the comparison between
Speaker 1: him and Paula Malu. Paulo Malu really was an inbox safety,
Speaker 1: and Read you talk about his range, his ability once
Speaker 1: he got the interception to take it to the house.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a great player to milla yourself of
Speaker 1: And when I think about it, Read and kind, it
Speaker 1: reminds me of you. Like you said, you, I think
Speaker 1: about a student of the game. And I see early
Speaker 1: on in you know, you got two rookie safeties that
Speaker 1: have picked up the system. But I see you guys
Speaker 1: leading that defense. I see you guys bringing all the energy.
Speaker 1: And you know, I came in as an undrafted free agent,
Speaker 1: so I always I was looking up at everybody. Now
Speaker 1: you came in as a second round draft pick. You know,
Speaker 1: you got Jamal Adams as a first round draft pick.
Speaker 1: But I know the competitor that there has to be
Speaker 1: inside of you, you wouldn't have made it this far.
Speaker 1: So how do you guys make each other better. And
Speaker 1: how do you guys feed off each other because I know,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you want to be
Speaker 1: the best safety in the in the league, and you
Speaker 1: have a great one on your team already, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: it just it just makes it that much better. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know the way we compete, um, you know, the
Speaker 1: type of player that he is and the type of
Speaker 1: player that I am. You know, it just goes hand
Speaker 1: to hand with each other. Uh. You know, we've we've
Speaker 1: been doing a great job, you know, getting annoy each
Speaker 1: other real well on the fielding off the field. You know,
Speaker 1: on the field, we just play our games and you
Speaker 1: know they just you know, fall with each other. Inside
Speaker 1: the Jets is brought to you by Selective Insurance Responses. Everything.
Speaker 1: Speaking of responses, so what's it gonna be like between
Speaker 1: you and they? For mentioned Jamal Adams this week because
Speaker 1: L s U and Florida are playing on the field
Speaker 1: this weekend. What's the bet? Like, what's the bet? You
Speaker 1: gotta bet something? I ain't talked to I ain't asked
Speaker 1: Hi about it yet, but I'm sure I'm gonna get him. Uh,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's gonna be great. You know, we're
Speaker 1: playing each other playing against each other for the past
Speaker 1: three years in college, you know, not every on the
Speaker 1: same team, and outside looking into it, you know it's
Speaker 1: gonna be great between the two schools. How much we
Speaker 1: talked about this before bart in the summertime. I interviewed
Speaker 1: Marcus and he's he was quite a high school basketball player,
Speaker 1: recruited to play the number D one schools. You were
Speaker 1: the point guard. Now we're not the basketball now where
Speaker 1: you Kobe or you Lebron. And when I say that,
Speaker 1: I'm saying, were you jacking up thirty shots and passing one?
Speaker 1: So where you're a facilitator? Now? Was the facila He's
Speaker 1: definitely facilitated because he's the guy and that defensive backfield
Speaker 1: who's communicating, making sure everybody is where they're supposed to be.
Speaker 1: And that's something that you really enjoy. You take pride in.
Speaker 1: How much did your basketball career help you on the
Speaker 1: football field, you know, just being that guy. You know,
Speaker 1: I always had to be vocal. You know, I feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, always in control, you know, at the point
Speaker 1: guard UM and and back in safety. You know, you
Speaker 1: feel like you're in control of the secondary. You know,
Speaker 1: you gotta get everybody lined up. You gotta make sure
Speaker 1: everybody's on the same page. So, you know, just I
Speaker 1: think I going hand to hand with each other. Now
Speaker 1: you guys are old for two on the row. You
Speaker 1: guys are going into Cleveland. It's a tough place to play.
Speaker 1: Play in front of the They gotta have great fans.
Speaker 1: They're the dog Pounders. Crazy. Only place I've ever got
Speaker 1: batteries thrown at me glass bottle beers. Uh so it
Speaker 1: last bottle? Yeah, yeah, they outlawed them because of Cleveland.
Speaker 1: They were throwing glass bottles, if I believe. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: you know, hated rival rivalry. But how do you guys
Speaker 1: guard it? Gets complacency coming in? Now you have success,
Speaker 1: you guys probably would be a favorite or a three
Speaker 1: point dog, which is basically like being a favorite. You know,
Speaker 1: how do you grow out against complacency? And um, you know,
Speaker 1: how do you move forward and leave Cleveland with a victory?
Speaker 1: I mean, we just gotta stick to our script. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, come in each day, you know, throughout the weekend,
Speaker 1: focus on what we have to focus on in practice, um,
Speaker 1: you know, and then to translate. But you know, we
Speaker 1: just can't get complacent. We gotta keep rolling because you know,
Speaker 1: in the beginning of the season, nobody expected us to
Speaker 1: be at this point. Um, you know, we know what
Speaker 1: we have to do in our room, so you know
Speaker 1: we'll be good. So Marcus, what was it like in
Speaker 1: the locker room yesterday? Chandler Canton zero gets redemption, hits
Speaker 1: the forty one yard or they're late and overtime, the
Speaker 1: Jets moved to two and two and then in the
Speaker 1: locker room. We've all seen the scene inside that locker
Speaker 1: room is the Jets posted it on social media. TYD
Speaker 1: Bowls awards a game ball to Coney Eally who was
Speaker 1: four p ds and a key interception in that ball game.
Speaker 1: And this was all came after he lost his sister
Speaker 1: earlier in the week. Yeah, I mean it was It
Speaker 1: was a great, great scene. Uh, you know, Coney played
Speaker 1: a great game, you know, just it just to go
Speaker 1: to show you you know, he had a you know,
Speaker 1: rough week. But you know, you know obviously he gained
Speaker 1: someone and watched over him uh as he played, you know,
Speaker 1: and his numbers were you know, believable. Just you know,
Speaker 1: to see us come together, you know, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: family first, you know, you know, we worried about you
Speaker 1: know him and his family and stuff like that. You know,
Speaker 1: and I'll showed in that locker room scene, what did
Speaker 1: you guys do in the spring to really nurture that chemistry?
Speaker 1: And you you guys bonded and came together because I know,
Speaker 1: Coach Poles made that a big time priority that you
Speaker 1: guys were gonna trust one another. You guys were gonna
Speaker 1: become brothers. And that started way back in the spring.
Speaker 1: H you know, I mean as soon as when we
Speaker 1: got in the building. Uh, you know, this this new class. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know I felt right away that was welcome. You know,
Speaker 1: he did a great job of you know, allowing the
Speaker 1: older guys and young guys to to mix right away.
Speaker 1: You know, he didn't keep us separated. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: he just kept you know, one team, one go. You know,
Speaker 1: he appreciate back then. You know that's still you know
Speaker 1: what we go by. And you know he's been doing
Speaker 1: a great job of you know, leading us and you
Speaker 1: know we were all following. What's been the most rewarding
Speaker 1: thing about you know, being able to come here in
Speaker 1: New York and and and kind of live your dream
Speaker 1: on on on the biggest stages. What would have surprised
Speaker 1: you you know, being in this situation. Uh, you know
Speaker 1: just the amount of you know, the attention that you get,
Speaker 1: you know, being in New York City, you know, and
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's it's a great feeling. You know,
Speaker 1: it's what you expected. Um, you know, and it's what
Speaker 1: you hear about. You know, you come in New York
Speaker 1: and the fans, fan base, and you know the amount
Speaker 1: of love that you know, the half of their team, um,
Speaker 1: you know, and it has been great inside the JETSIC
Speaker 1: is broadcast live from Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits right here
Speaker 1: inside the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel. Bart Scott and I
Speaker 1: are joined by Jets rookie safety Marcus May. What happened
Speaker 1: in Oakland? You guys were trailing a halftime. You were
Speaker 1: in that ball game. There was a turnover lay on
Speaker 1: a muff punt and to a man, everybody speaks to
Speaker 1: what happened inside the locker room at halftime and how
Speaker 1: you guys came together. And what has happened since is
Speaker 1: you dominated the Miami Dolphins and yesterday you faced adversity
Speaker 1: against the Jacksonville Jaguars and your coach said you didn't
Speaker 1: blank your squander a time point lead, but then you
Speaker 1: found a way to win an overtime. What happened in Oakland, Um,
Speaker 1: I mean, we just knew what we had to do.
Speaker 1: We knew we couldn't you know, the week before, you know,
Speaker 1: we were not doing what we're supposed to do. So
Speaker 1: we kind of had to come together and figure it out.
Speaker 1: And you know, we just you know, came together and realized,
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta you know, turn the leaf. You know,
Speaker 1: we gotta play the ball that we know how to
Speaker 1: play and that we practiced during the week. And you know,
Speaker 1: ever since then, you know, we've just been together and
Speaker 1: you know, we've just been on one heartbeach. How to
Speaker 1: How tough was that Monday meeting after the Oakland game,
Speaker 1: Because I know, you know, to a man, when you
Speaker 1: you know, have to sit back there and you have
Speaker 1: to watch that film, you have to take that criticism.
Speaker 1: You know sometimes you know, it's it's tough to be
Speaker 1: in there and it's it's a it's a tense situation.
Speaker 1: You know, how was that Monday meeting? Did you guys
Speaker 1: watch all the film or did you just throw it away?
Speaker 1: Or you know, what did you learn from the film? Now?
Speaker 1: We definitely watched it. I mean, we we correct our mistakes.
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta you gotta face it. You know,
Speaker 1: we we would learn from it. Uh you know, we
Speaker 1: went we want to watch the film, and you know,
Speaker 1: we just figured out what we need to do and
Speaker 1: where where we were had to get better at. And
Speaker 1: you know, we prized it during the week and you
Speaker 1: know we've just been doing that. Were there are some
Speaker 1: packages against Jacksonville where you guys were using four safeties
Speaker 1: because they saw ties out there on the field. He
Speaker 1: makes his comeback ever return because he suffered the eye
Speaker 1: injury against Detroit in the preseason, and that guy brings
Speaker 1: tremendous energy. T Brooks. Terrence Brooks has been playing tremendous
Speaker 1: football for you guys and then YouTube. The rookies have
Speaker 1: been playing well since the get and are only improving.
Speaker 1: But I see forty five out there. I thought they
Speaker 1: saw four safeties on the field some defensive package. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, Coach Bowl is doing a great job using us. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, and we got a lot of different guys
Speaker 1: in our room that can do a lot of different things. Uh,
Speaker 1: so you know, and coach has been putting together but
Speaker 1: putting different packages together, you know, so he's been having
Speaker 1: fun with that. You know, we enjoyed it because we're
Speaker 1: all out that together as a secondary and you know,
Speaker 1: just you know, see everybody playing well as good. How
Speaker 1: hype was Ryan Tez to make his regular season debut yesterday? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was very excited. You know, as soon as they
Speaker 1: cleared him, you know, he came in, he ran in
Speaker 1: the meeting room, was like, I'm ready to go, coach. So,
Speaker 1: you know, just to see him out there, you know,
Speaker 1: find around and back out is good. Who sets the
Speaker 1: temple in the meetings? From man, you always gotta have
Speaker 1: one funny guy. Man, who who's the funny guy? Who's
Speaker 1: the sleeper? Uh? Who's the head notedge the funny guy? Um?
Speaker 1: Probably probably Jamal? Probably Jamal Uh, Yeah, he's he's he's
Speaker 1: being Jamal all the time. So he's definitely that funny
Speaker 1: guy in our meeting room. Um, but it's probably the sleeper,
Speaker 1: probably Justice. He you know, he don't talk much burth Uh,
Speaker 1: he's quiet. So what changed yesterday against Jacksonville? Their first drive,
Speaker 1: they marched down the field, they scored a touchdown and
Speaker 1: a lot of people the stands were probably like, oh,
Speaker 1: here we go again. This is the same old Jets,
Speaker 1: but you shut them down the rest of the way
Speaker 1: because you think about it, they scored on a scoop
Speaker 1: lateral return for Miles Jack. They got back in the
Speaker 1: ball game there. They also converted converted a short field
Speaker 1: after the second turn over there late that forced overtime
Speaker 1: at But you guys really shut down the door after
Speaker 1: that first drive. What changed? We just knew what we're
Speaker 1: gonna get from those guys. Uh, you know, they came
Speaker 1: out and did a few different things in the first drive.
Speaker 1: But you know, once we figured it out, you know
Speaker 1: when once they got back to you know, just running
Speaker 1: the ball and we got back to what we knew
Speaker 1: what they were gonna do. Uh, you know, we just
Speaker 1: put it to it. How about overtime after Lockland Edwards
Speaker 1: delivered that seventy yard punt and you guys go out
Speaker 1: there on the field at the three yard line, what
Speaker 1: was the environment like and what were you saying to
Speaker 1: each other on the sidelines before that drive? We knew
Speaker 1: we had to get a stop. You know, we knew
Speaker 1: it was gonna come down to us. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: just the you know for our punter and our special
Speaker 1: teams to put us in that situation on the three
Speaker 1: yard line. We knew we had them pent back. You know,
Speaker 1: we had the fans right behind us, right behind them,
Speaker 1: and you know we knew we had to keep him
Speaker 1: in that area. So you know we can set our
Speaker 1: offense up. What do you think spending the key differences
Speaker 1: between the first two weeks defensively and then the next
Speaker 1: two weeks defensively, because you guys have looked like a
Speaker 1: different unit now. Todd Bowles said it after the Oakland
Speaker 1: game that we will fix our mistakes. A lot of
Speaker 1: people thought that was just talked, but but it wasn't talking.
Speaker 1: You came out. You control the line of scrimmage against
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins limited J J I e sixteen yards
Speaker 1: on eleven carries. You did a good job against the
Speaker 1: run against Jackson, felt contained four not he didn't get
Speaker 1: off too much. I know that the yards we're up
Speaker 1: there probably more than you guys wanted. But Bortles did
Speaker 1: have that one read option where he got away. Um.
Speaker 1: But other than that, you turned the ball into did
Speaker 1: you turn this bawling game into Blake Bortles? You gotta
Speaker 1: beat us after after putting forty four points up the
Speaker 1: week before. Is it as simple as just trusting a
Speaker 1: man next to you? Every man do their job, you know,
Speaker 1: I know that's cliches or is it you guys are
Speaker 1: are are playing better? No, it's definitely guys doing their job.
Speaker 1: I mean we you know with our front, you know
Speaker 1: those big guys we got out there. Uh, just control
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, you know, big gaps down, be
Speaker 1: disciplined in our gaps. Uh. You know the communication on
Speaker 1: the back end, you know, got a lot better. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, just getting better more and more we step
Speaker 1: out on the field. What's been the difference between the
Speaker 1: pro game in the college game. What's been the most
Speaker 1: shocking thing to you? Uh? Probably I would say the
Speaker 1: physicality and to speed. Uh, you know, just you know,
Speaker 1: it's a lot faster. You know, the quarterbacks are a
Speaker 1: lot more precise with the ball and where they're going. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, just learning the game more. It's about you know,
Speaker 1: learning what the appointent trying to do? Where, what's your
Speaker 1: job and stuff like that. So just becoming more of
Speaker 1: a student other game. Now you know, now of you
Speaker 1: guys are playing better. Um, it's tied. You think has
Speaker 1: tied like loosened up to the reins and giving you
Speaker 1: guys more more tools. I'm talking about communication and freedom
Speaker 1: to play things, as you said, And what's the communication
Speaker 1: like when you go on the sidelines after the Jacksonville
Speaker 1: Jagualls have had like a a great drive went down
Speaker 1: to score. What's the communication like on the sidelines and
Speaker 1: and what did you guys do? What the adjustments that
Speaker 1: you guys made to the formasons? Now, adjustments were big.
Speaker 1: You know, we had to switch up, um you know
Speaker 1: the coverages that we were doing because they were switching up.
Speaker 1: You know. The communication is great. You know, we come out,
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about what the players that we got,
Speaker 1: you know, what we could do. You know, different guys
Speaker 1: see different things, uh, you know, different route combinations and
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and we just try to pick it up.
Speaker 1: All right, one more question before the break, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna take your calls here on inside the Jets nine
Speaker 1: on nine three seven seven six. Morris play Born, your teammate,
Speaker 1: said today that he thinks that you and Jamal can
Speaker 1: have an impact on this defense. A pair of rookies
Speaker 1: like the impact offensively, Zeke Elliott and Dak Proscott had
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys last year. What do you think about that?
Speaker 1: Your teammates, So that's good. I mean I feel that, uh,
Speaker 1: you know it just you know, they allow us to
Speaker 1: you know, be ourselves. You know, they allow us to
Speaker 1: they put us in position to make plays. Uh, you
Speaker 1: know it's it's you know, one team. You know, we
Speaker 1: have a lot of a lot of good pieces. So
Speaker 1: it allows us to you know, be putting different situations too,
Speaker 1: to make plays and stuff like that. You know, our
Speaker 1: coaches and our team, you know, doing great job. Well
Speaker 1: you're off to a great start, Marcus May. Thank you

Speaker 1: Jets podcast. Bart Scott Uh your impressions of rookie Marcus May.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, man, I was very impressed, and
Speaker 1: you know, just a testimony, you know, during a break,
Speaker 1: I kind of had a little chalk talk and he
Speaker 1: can he can talk football with me, and that just
Speaker 1: speaks to his coaching in college, you know. And when
Speaker 1: you can think the football game and you can flow
Speaker 1: the game down, then you're only going to be that
Speaker 1: much more successful when you can reconnize what the opponent
Speaker 1: is trying to do and communicate it to other people
Speaker 1: so that you can put people in the best positions.
Speaker 1: Because listen, football doesn't change, It just speeds up and
Speaker 1: it doesn't get more complex, you know, and you just
Speaker 1: have to be able to to slow the game down,
Speaker 1: read your keys, and you can be successful and thing
Speaker 1: you can play for a long time and make the
Speaker 1: plays that come to you. I think he's smart, and
Speaker 1: he's steady, he's yeah, he's got something to him, both
Speaker 1: him and Jamal Adams. And I think that Jets Jets
Speaker 1: fans are gonna be talking about this draft for many
Speaker 1: years to come. Still still sharpen still, you know. And
Speaker 1: that's why I asked the question, you know, because I'm
Speaker 1: sure he's a competitor and coming in as a second
Speaker 1: round draft pick, and you know, Jamal coming in as
Speaker 1: a first round draft pick, and you know, you fight
Speaker 1: consistently to make sure that you can make it your
Speaker 1: own name in this game. And you know, it's good
Speaker 1: to have a rabbit. It's good to have a rabbit
Speaker 1: somebody that's in front of you, somebody that's you know,
Speaker 1: maybe getting a lot a little bit more attention, and
Speaker 1: you want to be known and seeing too. And you
Speaker 1: know it only pushes each So you've got two young
Speaker 1: players that can push each other. You know, you talk
Speaker 1: about you know, Cam Chancellor, you talk about Earl Thomas.
Speaker 1: I think you know, going forward, they can be potentially,
Speaker 1: if they continue to work hard, improve, you know, and
Speaker 1: learn from their mistakes, be one of the best pair
Speaker 1: of safeties in the game. Yeah, and that's exciting stuff
Speaker 1: you're listening to Inside the Jets, we're taking your calls
Speaker 1: eight nine, one, nine, three, seven seven six. Let's start
Speaker 1: off with Steve and West New York. Steve, thanks for
Speaker 1: calling in, Hey guys, then taking my call. I kind
Speaker 1: a quick question for you. I understand that josh ma
Speaker 1: Cown is not gonna be staying around too long. A
Speaker 1: lot of people why haven't I know he's not. Why
Speaker 1: haven't a lot of people talked about actually trading for
Speaker 1: a quarterback as opposed to trying to put all your
Speaker 1: stock in drafting one. Maybe someone like a Kirk Cousins. Well,
Speaker 1: you know how much money Kirk Cousins is gonna cost you.
Speaker 1: You talk about Derek Carr twenty five millions, So you're
Speaker 1: gonna pay you know, Kirk Cousins twenty six million dollars
Speaker 1: to come here and potentially not be you know, fit
Speaker 1: for this system. When when would you trade for him?
Speaker 1: I think you should trade for him a because I
Speaker 1: think he's in his prime. He I don't think when
Speaker 1: When would you? When would you? Washington? He's a quarterback
Speaker 1: right now? They're two and Washington. But they're playing on
Speaker 1: Monday Night football here. In a couple of minutes, they
Speaker 1: just beat down Auckland Raiders. I just don't are you
Speaker 1: Are you saying sign him as a free agent when
Speaker 1: he's an unrestricted free agent if they don't franchise tag
Speaker 1: him again? Are you speaking about then? But you can't
Speaker 1: be talking about trade for him? Yeah? You talking about
Speaker 1: an off season. No, it's gotta it's gotta be a
Speaker 1: you what, You're right, it's gotta be after free agent.
Speaker 1: But I just don't think he's gonna be able to
Speaker 1: stay in Washington. They're having some problems done with the administration.
Speaker 1: Wise they would have signed it to a long time deal.
Speaker 1: I just don't know if the judge are going to
Speaker 1: ruin their characters with a couple of more winds and
Speaker 1: knock at that top three draft pick for someone like
Speaker 1: Sance Donaldson or something like that, Sam Donaldson, you know
Speaker 1: that great that brings up a great point. And that's
Speaker 1: almost a subject that I wanted to talk about because
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of the fans out there want
Speaker 1: the judge and say, hey, you know, we're excited, we're
Speaker 1: glad you guys are playing well, but they're getting nervous
Speaker 1: because they want to have the number one overall pick.
Speaker 1: And you know, when you when you have that type
Speaker 1: of culture, you're talking about the culture of tanking and
Speaker 1: things like that. You know, what are you saying to
Speaker 1: your football team? What are you saying to the current
Speaker 1: players that are fighting for their NFL career? You know,
Speaker 1: like I said, I've been a part of this, you know,
Speaker 1: coming in the league in two thousand and two after
Speaker 1: the Ravens were purged by the salary cap era. You know,
Speaker 1: they lost some players in an expansion draft when the
Speaker 1: Houston Texans came back, you know, and you know, we
Speaker 1: never thought about tanking. And what happens is you set
Speaker 1: a bad president to the people in your locker room.
Speaker 1: And why Josh McCown is important right now because he
Speaker 1: has he allows you to evaluate all the rest of
Speaker 1: the players you have on everybody. Yeah, if he's the
Speaker 1: best player, you know, if he's the best quarterback available,
Speaker 1: you played Josh McCown, because what happens is he lets
Speaker 1: you know that, Okay, Robby Anderson can play. Okay, you know, um,
Speaker 1: you know, um allow Poles a player. Because what happens
Speaker 1: is the ball is gonna come out when they're supposed
Speaker 1: to come out. You get to see if the receivers
Speaker 1: are breaking off their routes and see if they're on
Speaker 1: the same page with you know, professional quarterback. And you know,
Speaker 1: all this tanking stuff is it's crazy, you know to me,
Speaker 1: because who to say that you take one of these
Speaker 1: guys first and they're not Jamacus Russell, or they're not
Speaker 1: Jake Locker, or they're not one of these other players
Speaker 1: that they don't know where this guaranteed success is coming from.
Speaker 1: Because if you go up and down the draft and
Speaker 1: look at the top quarterbacks selected over the past twenty
Speaker 1: years twenty years, where is the guaranteed success? Okay, just
Speaker 1: because the Philadelphia seventies sixers did something in the NBA
Speaker 1: does not mean that is the course you follow. Do
Speaker 1: you think Bill Parcels, who jets fans talk about in
Speaker 1: great respect because they should, because he happens to be
Speaker 1: one of the greatest franchise builders and coaches in the
Speaker 1: history of the National Football League. Do you think he
Speaker 1: would ever walk into a situation and say, you know what,
Speaker 1: there's some good guys coming out next year, let's see
Speaker 1: if we can lose some games. I just don't understand
Speaker 1: the mentality of that, the mentality inside a locker room.
Speaker 1: This guy was on the Bart Scott was one of
Speaker 1: the most passionate players I've ever been around. Do you
Speaker 1: think guys really worry about next year's draft? No, No,
Speaker 1: it's just not part of the conversation. And oh, by
Speaker 1: the way, everybody wants to chart everything U c l
Speaker 1: A does everything, USC does everything in Oklahoma State does.
Speaker 1: You don't know, You don't know what these guys are.
Speaker 1: You have to let this playoff. And the Jets are
Speaker 1: improving their team right now. Look at some of these
Speaker 1: young players who are coming along and help leaning a way.
Speaker 1: This is very important. Right now. We're taking of calls
Speaker 1: eight hundred nine one nine, three, seven seven six. Eric
Speaker 1: Allen at Bart Scott here at Vanderbilt's Sports in Spirits
Speaker 1: at the Windham Hamilton's Park. We're getting a little bit heated.
Speaker 1: I like that. I run Staten Islands. What's going, Hey,
Speaker 1: Eric bod how are you all right? All right? Worrying
Speaker 1: about the draft? That's a loser's mentality, you just use.
Speaker 1: You see what a car fall at the end of
Speaker 1: the season. You gotta go out and win games this
Speaker 1: year and developed the young players. And we're we're starting
Speaker 1: to see it the last two weeks. And you know what,
Speaker 1: it's a funny thing. Um. The roster of a lot
Speaker 1: different um now than it was at the training camp.
Speaker 1: And the canton did a good job and in Ue,
Speaker 1: you know, Curly and Curse and and you're right part
Speaker 1: you know, listen, they know what they hapened Petty and Hackingburg,
Speaker 1: and they got to evaluate the rest of this team.
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm Accounts playing. And he's doing a
Speaker 1: good job right now. And who's not to say that
Speaker 1: he won't get resigned if they do draft a quarterback
Speaker 1: next year. And you know, just getting to the game yesterday, listen,
Speaker 1: you know I've been around the Jets. I go back
Speaker 1: to nineteen sixty with the Jets. Okay, most of the
Speaker 1: teams they were folded. This is a young team. They
Speaker 1: stuck together. There was some adversity yesterday, they overcame it.
Speaker 1: I mean that, you know, forget about you know, they
Speaker 1: got fortunate with the holding call with for a porn
Speaker 1: at at the end of game, but they still held
Speaker 1: them to a field goal. And more impressive was when
Speaker 1: they hadn't pinned back. They kept them to back. Maroon
Speaker 1: played it wrong and then and then they punted. They
Speaker 1: got to short field currently the penalty, and they kicked
Speaker 1: the field goal in the night and it's a win,
Speaker 1: and you go going into the season. I had them
Speaker 1: at the end of Cleveland either two and three and
Speaker 1: three and two, and I'll be a static they go
Speaker 1: into Cleveland take care of business literally and two. Listen
Speaker 1: whatever the Patriots thought they are, but do you know
Speaker 1: the buzz around the city, it's gonna be the Jets
Speaker 1: wee into with the Patriots coming to town. I just
Speaker 1: hope it plays out this way. Hopefully we take care
Speaker 1: of business and get to win. Thanks for the call, um,
Speaker 1: good points. Uh, we're taking your calls inside the Jets
Speaker 1: seven seven six. I just want to say this before
Speaker 1: we go to break. Mike mccagnet and his personnel staff
Speaker 1: and Todd Bowles and the coaching staff should get a
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of credit right now because Jermaine Curse, Jeremy Curly, Cony, Eally,
Speaker 1: David Bass, who is two sacks by the way now
Speaker 1: in Terrence Brooks. Those guys have just come on board
Speaker 1: over the last I don't know a couple five six
Speaker 1: weeks or so, and they're making immediate impacts. That's good coaching,
Speaker 1: that's a good personnel department. We're gonna take a bunch
Speaker 1: of calls on the other side. We'll be right back
Speaker 1: here on Inside the Jets live from Vender Built Sports
Speaker 1: and Spirits inside the Wyndham Hamilton's Park Hotel. It's Inside
Speaker 1: the Jets brought to you by e Y Building a
Speaker 1: Better World, MNT Bank, the official community bank of your
Speaker 1: New York Jets, and by fan Duel. Have all the
Speaker 1: fantasy that football has to offer. Be sports rich. Now,
Speaker 1: here's Eric Allen and Bart Scott. Eric Allen, part Scott
Speaker 1: back here Vanderbilts Sports and Spirits. I got some fantasy
Speaker 1: analysis for you right now. Analysis. Yeah, one carries against
Speaker 1: Jacksonville a hundred and sixty three yards Russian including a
Speaker 1: seventy five yards score and run. Eli McGuire rookie tank
Speaker 1: carry's ninety three yards in a sixty nine yard scoring run. Uh,
Speaker 1: this is an analysis. This is what I'll tell you
Speaker 1: is brought to you by FanDuel. Have all the fantasy
Speaker 1: that football has to offer. How about the Jets run game? Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: they slept on him yesterday. Listen, I told you before
Speaker 1: the show, do another show, and we're speaking about you know,
Speaker 1: Matt Forte has been being out and I told him, listen,
Speaker 1: you you don't lose much when you put al Pol
Speaker 1: in there. Bal has live legs. To me, he's been
Speaker 1: one of the most consistent football players on this Jet
Speaker 1: team since he got here, you know, and I think
Speaker 1: the game is starting to slow down for him. You
Speaker 1: know what, What really tells you all all you need
Speaker 1: to know about Bala Paal is on the lateral, his
Speaker 1: hustle all the way down the field. We just criticized
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott for after a turnover now hustling down the field.
Speaker 1: Anything could have happened, he could have tripped, he could
Speaker 1: have called him, you know, but that shows you that
Speaker 1: he plays every play like it's his last. And he
Speaker 1: cares about his teammates. And I'll tell you what, Eli McGuire,
Speaker 1: we talked about mccagnan before. How about finding this guy
Speaker 1: in the draft and listen, the most telling thing on
Speaker 1: his run is the fact that the dbs behind him
Speaker 1: couldn't catch up and he continued to separate. You know,
Speaker 1: you talk about a player that has patients to the whole,
Speaker 1: acceleration through the whole. He just he just took the
Speaker 1: patients out. He just put one ft in the in
Speaker 1: the ground guy vertical and took it to the house. Man,
Speaker 1: it was impressive. You're gonna like this and you gotta
Speaker 1: help me with us. We had a few lass about
Speaker 1: it in the press box last night. I asked Eli McGuire,
Speaker 1: what's it like to get to the second level when
Speaker 1: you know you only have a guy to beat? He said, oh,
Speaker 1: you can cancel Christmas if we even he leaving. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Eli McGuire taking it to the house. In all,
Speaker 1: the Jets rushed for two hundred fifty six yards. Now,
Speaker 1: that's thirty two carries eight yards a pop. They ran
Speaker 1: it down Jacksonville's throat and you can you can say
Speaker 1: whatever you want to say about the Bala pokay, that's
Speaker 1: a freak you know type of play where somebody jumps
Speaker 1: over and they forget to tag him. But what about
Speaker 1: the thirty yard run? What about the choired run? You know,
Speaker 1: I think that the consistency and the commitment to the
Speaker 1: run game. And you talk about you know they had
Speaker 1: colast count, you talk about this, you know, Jacksonville jagualls
Speaker 1: team that really embarrassed the Baltimore Ravens the week before,
Speaker 1: putting up forty four points. And you know, really really,
Speaker 1: you know, the team that just have to learn how
Speaker 1: to when you have somebody down to put him out.
Speaker 1: I would like to see them after the Cony Eely interception.
Speaker 1: It's the little things, you know, punch it in and
Speaker 1: really discourage the Jacksonville Jaguar from really trying to win
Speaker 1: the game because it's seventeen ten there, you score, you're
Speaker 1: making a ten game, and and you put more preyer,
Speaker 1: you put more pressure on Blake Borders, and you know
Speaker 1: he'll throw you one at that point. You know, Like
Speaker 1: I said before, I told people before they're like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: Blake Waters playing well. I say, listen, man, that train
Speaker 1: is never late. I've charted Blake Borders throughout his entire career,
Speaker 1: no player has turned the ball over in his own
Speaker 1: territory in the first half more than Blake Borders. So
Speaker 1: I knew if the Jets could just keep it close,
Speaker 1: be physical for and that's going to get his that
Speaker 1: you know, he's a he's a good young player. But
Speaker 1: if you continue to to to land those body blows
Speaker 1: that when it came late and it was in Blake
Speaker 1: Bortle's hands, that he would do what Blake Border always does,
Speaker 1: and he didn't. He didn't disappoint Leonard four not four
Speaker 1: carries eighty six yards, Like I said, belal Paul one
Speaker 1: carries a hundred and sixty three yards and somebody ton
Speaker 1: carries ninety three yards. Let's keep on rolling on with
Speaker 1: the phones because I know last week you're a little
Speaker 1: you're a little sist of about it. It's Kevin Well.
Speaker 1: Why joined us and Kevin talk for a little bit.
Speaker 1: It was his it was his week, man, man, that
Speaker 1: dude talk man. I was like, I was waiting for
Speaker 1: the Dave Chappelle wrap it up be sign. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm like, listen, man, I get paid to talk to bro. Listen.
Speaker 1: You know, I would love to hear from the fans.
Speaker 1: What their opinions are? Are they happy? Are they sad
Speaker 1: about the Jets being too and two right now? And
Speaker 1: you know, I think you know, they're a lot better
Speaker 1: than people anticipated, you know, is it? Are they? Are they?
Speaker 1: Are they happy? Are they sad? All right, Let's go
Speaker 1: to L. Let's go to L and Westfields. Hey there,
Speaker 1: thanks for having me, Thanks for calling L. Alright, So
Speaker 1: I have to say I'm a very conflicted Jets fan
Speaker 1: right now, because um, you know you I'm I'm very
Speaker 1: pleased with what I see on the field because last
Speaker 1: year that seemed severely underachieved and this tier team clearly
Speaker 1: is coming together, playing with heart, hustle, and it's showing
Speaker 1: and we're seeing results. But to say that there's a
Speaker 1: loser's mentality to wanting to have that good draft pick,
Speaker 1: I don't get it, because I have to say, I'm
Speaker 1: forty seven years old. My entire lifetime, I have not
Speaker 1: seen a Super Bowl play, a Super Bowl game played
Speaker 1: by the Jets. And you look and you say, well,
Speaker 1: what has differentiated some of those Jets team from those
Speaker 1: that did make it to the Super Bowl? And the
Speaker 1: one constant is quarterback play? Right, And so you need
Speaker 1: a quarterback. You absolutely need a quarterback to be competitive
Speaker 1: in this league. And to say that I'm really happy
Speaker 1: that we went six and ten instead of four and
Speaker 1: twelve or seven and nine and missed the playoffs, that's
Speaker 1: not going to get it done, right. And so there's
Speaker 1: got to be a validity, and people have to understand
Speaker 1: that there is a validity from the fans point of view,
Speaker 1: especially the long suffering fans. Let's let's keep I had
Speaker 1: a couple of things to say too, but I'll let
Speaker 1: you go first. Let let me tell you why you're wrong, Watson,
Speaker 1: Um Russell, Wilson. Right. So for every for every first
Speaker 1: round pick, early round pick you can name, I can
Speaker 1: name you somebody else that wasn't the first round pick
Speaker 1: that that that that you know played and performed at
Speaker 1: a high level. What what you do is when you
Speaker 1: set up a bad culture in your locker room. Also,
Speaker 1: you need depth, right, You need depth that every position. Yes,
Speaker 1: the quarterback is very important, but you know you can
Speaker 1: win without a great quarterback, right, You don't have to
Speaker 1: have the best quarterback. What you need is a team
Speaker 1: that can come together. You need chemistry and that's built
Speaker 1: right now. The Jets have a very young football team.
Speaker 1: But if you don't show that you're trending upward, how
Speaker 1: are you going to attrack some of these, you know,
Speaker 1: great free agents of all this cap money that you have,
Speaker 1: how are you going to attract them to come here?
Speaker 1: If they see that it's a loser mentality, They're not
Speaker 1: gonna come here and say, Okay, I'm gonna sit here
Speaker 1: with a young rookie quarterback and that's all they have.
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't really think a lot about
Speaker 1: the rest of the people on the roster to come here,
Speaker 1: because in this league, you may only have three or
Speaker 1: four years, or you're asking a guy in his fourth
Speaker 1: year to come here. He may only have seven years
Speaker 1: of his career. He wants to win right now. So
Speaker 1: if you want to track free agents, you have to
Speaker 1: show that you're going in right direction. Why do you
Speaker 1: think nobody wants to come to play for the Knicks
Speaker 1: right because it wasn't that they didn't have good players,
Speaker 1: that they didn't have cap space. People were turning that
Speaker 1: money down because it didn't seem like they had a
Speaker 1: clue or they cared about winning. Well, I I completely
Speaker 1: appreciate that. How about Drew Brees. How Aboutrew Brees second
Speaker 1: round draft pick? Yeah, look, and that's the Patriots. But
Speaker 1: Paper Brady was a late round pick. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: I have not seen a great quarterback on the Jets
Speaker 1: and and that is a big that's a big difference.
Speaker 1: I do agree. I absolutely agree that the winning culture,
Speaker 1: the chemistry, the teamwork are things that will attract good players.
Speaker 1: I totally agree with that, and that is what I'm
Speaker 1: starting to see with this team here. But I also
Speaker 1: have to tell you I really wanted to show on
Speaker 1: Watson in the first round. I know that Jamal Adams
Speaker 1: is turning out to be an awesome safety. But you
Speaker 1: know what, time will tell, right, Time will tell how
Speaker 1: time time will tell. Yeah, you're you're right, And I
Speaker 1: think I ain't Jamala Adams. I'm not putting this on
Speaker 1: him just because I'm saying that. I think Jamal Adams
Speaker 1: has star written all over him and he doesn't play quarterback. Yes,
Speaker 1: I know that. I think. I think Paula Milot was
Speaker 1: just important to the Pittsburgh Steellers championships. I think Andree
Speaker 1: was just important, uh to the Baltimore Ravens, you know success.
Speaker 1: I think Eric Berry. I think Earl Thomas is just
Speaker 1: as important. Right, So if you have if you can
Speaker 1: identify a star player, you have to take a transcendent player.
Speaker 1: If you see one, you spot one in the draft
Speaker 1: right and all By the way, I don't know where
Speaker 1: people are conflicted, because okay, so you go to and
Speaker 1: fourteen and what if four or five players are stacked
Speaker 1: right together? Peyton Manny comes around maybe once in a
Speaker 1: lifetime or so. You know, all these guys that we're
Speaker 1: talking about, where in the society a sports society now
Speaker 1: where we want to make these guarantees? Sam Donald's the
Speaker 1: next guy is gonna be the your greatest quarterback ever? Know?
Speaker 1: Might be Josh Rosen. Don't forget about Mason Rudolph oh
Speaker 1: Luke Falk look pretty good the other night. How about
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, tremendous athlete in his own right. We don't
Speaker 1: know yet. We don't know yet. And by the way,
Speaker 1: you can get good players, you have to draft. While
Speaker 1: we talk about at read before, what was that read?
Speaker 1: Dra we gotta go to break. We're coming back on
Speaker 1: Inside the Jets Live from Vetter Built Sports and Spirits
Speaker 1: inside the Wyndham Hamilton's Park Hotel. It's inside the Jets,
Speaker 1: brought to you by e Y Building a Better World,
Speaker 1: m n T Bank, the official community bank of your
Speaker 1: New York Jets, and by fan Duel. Have all the
Speaker 1: fantasy that football has to offer. Be sports rich. Now
Speaker 1: here's Eric Allen and Bart Scott all right, not standing
Speaker 1: show so far tonight? Mark you are you? Are you calm?
Speaker 1: I'm just excited. I'm passionate. I'm like the black pressure
Speaker 1: going up. Man, I'm not like the defense the third time.
Speaker 1: I'm ready to roll. I just don't understand that you're
Speaker 1: a competitor. You played out there on the field. I
Speaker 1: don't understand that mentality. I don't get it. But they
Speaker 1: don't get it from the players. And you know there
Speaker 1: has been examples of that. You know, teams seeming like
Speaker 1: they're not trying to win. But you know that doesn't
Speaker 1: come from the players. The players want to win every
Speaker 1: game because at the end of the day, you can't
Speaker 1: put bad film out there because you won't get picked
Speaker 1: up if you're not on the team the next year.
Speaker 1: You know, so you have to go out there and
Speaker 1: always consistently, you know, represent yourself. What people don't understand
Speaker 1: is you never leave the game the way you came.
Speaker 1: This game is going to take something from you. You
Speaker 1: might as well make sure that you enjoy it and
Speaker 1: get some get some ws because none of us walk
Speaker 1: out this game the same way. And oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: part mcagnet and company has set this up for the
Speaker 1: off season where they do have a lot of money,
Speaker 1: a lot of flexibility developing here. We got a lot
Speaker 1: of calls to get to. Uh, let's go to Joe,
Speaker 1: who's calling from Rockland County. What are you doing? I'm big,
Speaker 1: big fan of the show. I wanted to get your opinion.
Speaker 1: You guys are old timers so to speak. You know
Speaker 1: football today ahead and football has to come from the
Speaker 1: National Football League. It's become the National Flag League. And
Speaker 1: somebody like me that enjoys the game, it's hard to
Speaker 1: watch the games now. And I went to the game yesterday.
Speaker 1: It's every player. You can hit the quarterback, you can't
Speaker 1: hit the receivers, you can hit anybody, and it's the
Speaker 1: game has become a Pro Bowl game. It's a it's
Speaker 1: a glorified Pro Bowl. And you guys who are in
Speaker 1: the trenches, who know the game, well, I'd like to
Speaker 1: get your opinion, you know, on that, And I'm really
Speaker 1: worried about that because I'm losing interest in the game
Speaker 1: and I love football. In the cornerback, I was never like, what, well,
Speaker 1: I tell you what, you know, the aim it's changing,
Speaker 1: you know. We we all understand that we have to
Speaker 1: make the game safer, you know. But you know, I
Speaker 1: was outraged about traveythan being suspended for two games, you know,
Speaker 1: and they put all the owners this and it's still
Speaker 1: a violent sport and at times things are gonna happen,
Speaker 1: But I don't think you should take a player off
Speaker 1: the field that doesn't have a history. If this was
Speaker 1: Vonta's Burgley, you would be like, Okay, well he doesn't
Speaker 1: get it, we have to punish him. But to get
Speaker 1: Travethon for for hustling to the ball, and when I
Speaker 1: tell people, when you look at that play, understand that
Speaker 1: he's running probably about thirteen fourteen miles an hour. Um
Speaker 1: DeVante adams Is continued to try to move the pile
Speaker 1: and when when what we're taught is when the first
Speaker 1: one grabbed, make the tackle, the second one go for
Speaker 1: the football. And what I saw was trave Athan trying
Speaker 1: to dislodge the ball, trying to separate man from ball,
Speaker 1: and at the same time Davonte Adams dropping. So you're
Speaker 1: asking somebody to run fourteen miles an hour fifteen miles
Speaker 1: and hour depend on how fast he is and hit
Speaker 1: a moving target that's dropping. As you get there. At
Speaker 1: some point you lose vision because you're looking for the ball,
Speaker 1: not so much the helmet or the head. And I
Speaker 1: thought that was an unfortunate situation, and I think, you know,
Speaker 1: I think we should have some more people on the council.
Speaker 1: I think more former players that could kind of have
Speaker 1: some impact, you know, because it's hard to to really
Speaker 1: referee intent. But um, you know, players understand, you know
Speaker 1: that we all have to protect each other. But it's
Speaker 1: still a very violent sport. And sometimes I think they're
Speaker 1: trying to legislate the physicality out of the game because
Speaker 1: people want to see the game, they want to see points,
Speaker 1: and you know, we've already made the offensive league. But
Speaker 1: I think the biggest detriment to the game is the
Speaker 1: college game, because it used to be where college was
Speaker 1: a reflection of the pro game. Now you see young
Speaker 1: quarterbacks come in offensive linemen have no idea how to
Speaker 1: to to to double team, how to base block. Everything
Speaker 1: is about running sideways and lottery and getting in the way. Already,
Speaker 1: you've been on hold for a while and you're in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: Thanks for calling them, buddy, I don't be Debbie Downer
Speaker 1: right here already. Hey, how's it going, guys? Right? So
Speaker 1: I listen, I'm happy. I love bowls is uh, you know,
Speaker 1: getting these guys to play and stuff like that. But
Speaker 1: I do have to nip pick a little bit, okay.
Speaker 1: And I guess it's because of it, like a defensive
Speaker 1: coach mentality and stuff that he's relying a lot on
Speaker 1: his defense. But he's done a couple of things Balls
Speaker 1: three years as far as like punting the ball when
Speaker 1: when you're having like more than a ten point lead.
Speaker 1: And yesterday would bother me about the game is that
Speaker 1: the Jaguars had the ball on like the tenure online
Speaker 1: with with two minutes left, and Balls didn't use his
Speaker 1: two time outs. Just stinking listen, my defense is gonna
Speaker 1: stop him or we're going you know, we're either going
Speaker 1: over time or we're losing. Not thinking about getting the
Speaker 1: ball back and trying to trying to do something. You
Speaker 1: can't be stuck with two time outs and watching your
Speaker 1: defense hold. I mean, it worked out, but he maybe
Speaker 1: he needs like a coach on assistant coach, because I
Speaker 1: know he's got a lot going on and he's thinking
Speaker 1: about his defensive plays and stuff. Maybe somebody that could
Speaker 1: keep note on that and and give them the heads up.
Speaker 1: The same thing happened with the Special that a big
Speaker 1: special team splake. But yet I don't know. I guess
Speaker 1: they didn't know whether they were gonna go for it
Speaker 1: for you know, throw a pass or kick the field goal,
Speaker 1: and by that time they took a penalty. Thanks for
Speaker 1: the car already love that guy's passion. Listen, if I
Speaker 1: bind them mine, you do have to convert with points
Speaker 1: there after the fake punt. But but already we don't
Speaker 1: We don't know if this was called from the sideline
Speaker 1: or it was just automatic, and he wasn't aware that
Speaker 1: it was going to happen, because you get certain looks
Speaker 1: when you have uncovered. You're taught to throw it, you know,
Speaker 1: and it may not have been the best idea to
Speaker 1: thought it worked out, but you know, sometimes those are automatic,
Speaker 1: so he may not been aware. Because nobody knows the coach,
Speaker 1: even the coach doesn't know, the special team coach doesn't
Speaker 1: know you have automatically. I think it wasn't automatic because
Speaker 1: because because he had dropped off. It's fourth in one
Speaker 1: where most of the time you're probably not going forward
Speaker 1: fourth and even a fake exactly so, but you know,
Speaker 1: you can't tell players that they get that look they
Speaker 1: dreamed for, that look like, oh man, the look we
Speaker 1: finally got it. How often do you ever see somebody
Speaker 1: with an uncovered guy and they dare you to throw
Speaker 1: it and they pull the trigger and they they figured out.
Speaker 1: And maybe that's where the confusion came. To answer the
Speaker 1: second question talking about you know, going you know, leaving
Speaker 1: with two with to to time outs? Why am I
Speaker 1: gonna call time out? If I'm a defensive coach or
Speaker 1: if I even if I'm a defense I don't want
Speaker 1: you to call time out because what happens. You allow
Speaker 1: them to regroup and come up with the best play.
Speaker 1: You allow them to change personnel groups as well, So
Speaker 1: now you're giving them a time out as well too.
Speaker 1: So you're calling time out for yourself because you're trying
Speaker 1: to get the ball back. But you're you you want
Speaker 1: you want to use those timeouts when you have them.
Speaker 1: In third down or fourth down. You don't want to
Speaker 1: use those timeouts early because you may want them to,
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't take more than two minutes for
Speaker 1: some a team to go down ten seconds. Jets gonna
Speaker 1: make it three straight this week in Cleveland. I definitely
Speaker 1: think they make it three straight. I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: guard against complacency. I think they're gonna go for us
Speaker 1: everybody
