Speaker 1: Welcome to Inside the Jets. We are broadcasting live from
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel.
Speaker 1: Eric Allen alongside Eric Coleman, and we have a special
Speaker 1: guest to start off. That is Jet safety Terence Brooks.
Speaker 1: Our player guest segment is presented by M ANDT Bank,
Speaker 1: the official community bank of your New York Jets. So,
Speaker 1: T Brooks, how good did it feel to go to
Speaker 1: that locker room in Buffalo as a winner? The Losey
Speaker 1: Street comes to an end in Orchard Park, NFL. Great. Um,
Speaker 1: we haven't struggling for a little while. We just kind
Speaker 1: of pulled out at the end of the games. Um.
Speaker 1: But to go out there as a team and finish
Speaker 1: in all phases special teams played great defense. Man, they're
Speaker 1: stuck in there when they had two offense looked great. Um.
Speaker 1: I feel like we owe the one man, so we
Speaker 1: weren't going out there and leave without a win. Can
Speaker 1: we talk about the special teams because they've been lights
Speaker 1: out all season. I had another great game yesterday. I
Speaker 1: know they had some big returns, block field goal. Can
Speaker 1: you talk about what you guys have done as a
Speaker 1: group as a special team's unit. We just stuck together.
Speaker 1: That's the biggest thing on my coach. Coach boy, he's
Speaker 1: always preaching him and stay together. He tells us that
Speaker 1: after every meeting every day. So that's basically what we did.
Speaker 1: We're going to practice with the mindset that we want
Speaker 1: to be number one in the league, and we try
Speaker 1: to make sure that happens. We have great coaching, it's
Speaker 1: only just up to us to go out there and
Speaker 1: execute the game plans, and um, it's been going well
Speaker 1: from us. So we've got a lot of guys who
Speaker 1: go out there who are hungry, they want to play. Um,
Speaker 1: we got Roberts back there, who's phenomenal. I mean, we
Speaker 1: couldn't ask for someone better, but man, they just it's
Speaker 1: been coming together and we're just trying to finish strong
Speaker 1: throughout the year. And I mean, nobody's gonna win games
Speaker 1: for us, so we're trying to even on special teams,
Speaker 1: we're trying to find a way to win the game
Speaker 1: for us. So it's been doing great. I can't complain, Terence.
Speaker 1: You can become a core special teamer for Brand Boyer
Speaker 1: and Company. When people hear about special teams, how many
Speaker 1: units are you actually on? Oh man, Well, I'm on
Speaker 1: all four. We have a kickoff, kickoff return, punt and
Speaker 1: punt return, so I'm doing all those and a little
Speaker 1: bit feel a little block too, So I mean it
Speaker 1: feels great to be a guy that they can trust
Speaker 1: the going on all four phases and go out there contribute.
Speaker 1: And I'm just trying to go out there and play
Speaker 1: my best game each and every time. And whenever somebody
Speaker 1: sees me on film for the first time, I want
Speaker 1: him to say, hey man, that can play he gets
Speaker 1: out there. Can you talk about how difficult it is
Speaker 1: to block on kickoff return? I know, if we if
Speaker 1: you play safety, and that's kind of natural to you,
Speaker 1: that's your natural position. You should doing that your whole career.
Speaker 1: But going from running full speed back, which having to
Speaker 1: turn around and block someone and you can't do the
Speaker 1: wedge anymore. Oh my goodness, it's a lot. It's a
Speaker 1: lot harder than people think. Man, I'm usually the one
Speaker 1: who's aggressive. We want to go do the hitting. But
Speaker 1: when you gotta go out there and stop someone winning
Speaker 1: full speed with about a thirty yard here and started
Speaker 1: at you, it gets a little tough. But man, that
Speaker 1: that right separation man from the boys. Um just like
Speaker 1: gonna kickoff, you gotta go down to do the same
Speaker 1: thing to them. But it's very difficult. But I mean
Speaker 1: that's that's why our coaches trainers for through the training,
Speaker 1: I mean training camps and all that stuff like that
Speaker 1: in the heart where we put in and sometimes it
Speaker 1: just comes down into mentality thing. What makes Andre Roberts
Speaker 1: such a special returner because he's doing things I haven't
Speaker 1: seen in a leak for a long time. And I
Speaker 1: said yesterday it's a travesty if he is not a
Speaker 1: pro bowlerst man, I mean, he definitely deserves it. The kid.
Speaker 1: His vision is phenomenal. I mean, he finds those creases
Speaker 1: and he hits them fast and he makes them paid. Man.
Speaker 1: But all it, I guess it starts up front too.
Speaker 1: We gotta go out there and make sure that we're
Speaker 1: clearing our blocks and execute for him, and man, he
Speaker 1: finds it and even when it's not there, he turns
Speaker 1: and he grinds for those extra yards and that's what
Speaker 1: we needed to return and that's all. We love him.
Speaker 1: Someone you call him a kid. He's in his ninth season.
Speaker 1: I mean, hey, he still runs like one and he's
Speaker 1: got that energy. So hey, I're never gonna call him
Speaker 1: over man. He sees in vatman, but he knows exactly
Speaker 1: what he's doing and he's never slowing down. Man. The
Speaker 1: kids keep going every week, So I love it. And
Speaker 1: he talk about the in the secondary. That group New
Speaker 1: Jack City. You know, it seems like a very close
Speaker 1: knit group. You all seem to hang out with each
Speaker 1: other on and off the field. Can you talk about
Speaker 1: the importance of that chemistry. Um, it's definitely important. We
Speaker 1: got a lot of young guys in that room, Um,
Speaker 1: and it's good to go to work with him every day.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of energy in that room. It's a
Speaker 1: lot of guys who are hungry, who wants to get better,
Speaker 1: and um, you couldn't ask anything more. Our coach definitely
Speaker 1: holds us to a high standard and going through those
Speaker 1: tough times, you training camp and going through all the
Speaker 1: adversity we have throughout the season. It's been great to
Speaker 1: be with a group of guys who keep that clear
Speaker 1: mindset throughout the year and the like I said, that
Speaker 1: energy is just always there. Jamal provides that obviously he's
Speaker 1: the one who does all the talking for us, but man,
Speaker 1: it's been great to be with the group of guys
Speaker 1: and um, I came from some great groups back in
Speaker 1: Baltimore and Philly and just to get around some younger
Speaker 1: guys by myself. Man, it's it's awesome to see that
Speaker 1: energy and feel that each and every day. In said
Speaker 1: the Jets is supported by Selective Insurance responses everything Eric
Speaker 1: Ellen and Eric Coleman. There Vanderbilts sports in spirits inside
Speaker 1: the Windham Hamilton Park Hole. Tell Terence Brooks is with
Speaker 1: us right now. We're gonna have Robbie Anderson, one of
Speaker 1: yesterday's heroes momentarily as well. But Terrence, I know it's
Speaker 1: got to be encouraging for you guys defensively that the
Speaker 1: takeaways are starting to come again. Three takeaways against the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, including two from true Truemay Johnson, who now
Speaker 1: he has three over the course of the last two weeks,
Speaker 1: there we go. I mean, it's great, um getting interceptions
Speaker 1: in turn. I was just already hard enough in the lead,
Speaker 1: But when you can come away with three of them, man,
Speaker 1: that's awesome. Um. Jermaine's guy who works hard at practice. Man,
Speaker 1: he gets after it, and he's a guy that we
Speaker 1: can look up to because he's obviously a guy that
Speaker 1: who's respected in this league, so we can kind of
Speaker 1: model ourselves after him in that sense. But he came
Speaker 1: up big for us, man, and it's good to get
Speaker 1: him going again. Can you talk about Listen, you're safety,
Speaker 1: your head coaches and safety. You know you have decordinator
Speaker 1: position coach, all those guys teaching you. What are some
Speaker 1: of the lessons you learned from coach Bowls playing the
Speaker 1: safety position. Man, it's just like I said, it's a
Speaker 1: mentality thing. You've got to have that plan in that position.
Speaker 1: You've gotta be a commander on that field. But honestly,
Speaker 1: what I love about coach Boys, he teaches. He's not
Speaker 1: just teaching you football. He teach a lot of things
Speaker 1: about life and how to be a man and how
Speaker 1: to go about your business. Just with everything that you
Speaker 1: do and um, I've learned a lot from him just
Speaker 1: as a man, how I should treat myself in my
Speaker 1: life and treat my family and do things like that.
Speaker 1: But man, he's a great man all around. But you know,
Speaker 1: you're definitely to get a little bit more hard working,
Speaker 1: a little bit more yellow when you gotta coaches play safety.
Speaker 1: So it's it gets there, it gets so so going
Speaker 1: through the losing streak, all the tough things that are
Speaker 1: going on. Obviously you're in the locker room, but you
Speaker 1: hear some of the things that go on. Does that
Speaker 1: motivate you as as a player to go out there
Speaker 1: and fight hard for your coach? For sure? Man, we
Speaker 1: know he deals with a lot of stuff. Just being
Speaker 1: in New York, you're gonna get a lot of screw
Speaker 1: new he when when things aren't going great. When things
Speaker 1: are going well, people are kind of with you with
Speaker 1: on the bandwagon. But he's never changed, man, his mindset
Speaker 1: to come to working every day every day and produce.
Speaker 1: I mean, you couldn't want more of a coach. Man.
Speaker 1: He keeps calm, his his attitude is always level with us,
Speaker 1: and he spends a lot of us And that's what
Speaker 1: you want as a coach. You want somebody who's gonna
Speaker 1: push you. Now, if somebody who's gonna babe baby, you
Speaker 1: would just let you think. Moral victories are are okay.
Speaker 1: He goes out there and to make sure that we
Speaker 1: know what we're doing along and what we're doing right,
Speaker 1: and he wants execute every week. And I mean, I
Speaker 1: love that man for that. T Brooks. What does it
Speaker 1: say about this team playing the Buffalo Bills Sunday six
Speaker 1: game losing streak, A team who came into your house,
Speaker 1: dictated everything on therd terms one of the battles everywhere
Speaker 1: forty one to ten. And the previous week, you guys
Speaker 1: have just played Tennessee and it was a game you
Speaker 1: all thought, to a man, you let slip away, and
Speaker 1: here you go, you find yourself again behind. And I
Speaker 1: think a lot of teams who didn't, who wouldn't have
Speaker 1: had that character that you guys showed, would have packed
Speaker 1: it in, would have said, hey, listen, our season's over,
Speaker 1: We're not going to the playoffs. We got nothing to
Speaker 1: play for. But what did it say about what's inside
Speaker 1: that locker room? The way you guys rallied together. I mean,
Speaker 1: you just see a team with a lot of heart.
Speaker 1: You see a team that that's not gonna lay down
Speaker 1: just because the season is bad. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: guys out there and people always say you have nothing
Speaker 1: left to play for when you when you don't make
Speaker 1: the playoffs, And I just think that's a bad thing
Speaker 1: for to show well to put our NFL players. Man,
Speaker 1: we have our families to play for, ourselves, our legacy,
Speaker 1: to respect. There's a lot of things that sending this
Speaker 1: game that you keep playing for. And the craziest thing
Speaker 1: is nobody's gonna go out there and get wins for you.
Speaker 1: I mean, no why. It's already hard enough to win
Speaker 1: the game in the NFL, but nobody's gonna just give
Speaker 1: you a game. So if you could, you could. You
Speaker 1: don't want to go out there and just embarrass yourself
Speaker 1: anymore about laying down in front of the team and
Speaker 1: letting them win. We're gonna go out there and fight
Speaker 1: each and every week, every practice, I mean every day.
Speaker 1: We're trying to get better in some sense. So we
Speaker 1: owe them one man, it's a respect. At the end
Speaker 1: of the day, we gotta go out there and did it. Now,
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta talk about your quarterback, you know,
Speaker 1: having Sam Donald rookie quarterback in their fighting is butt
Speaker 1: off through his injuries. Whatever you've seen from this young
Speaker 1: quarterback throughout the season with it as far as his growth,
Speaker 1: I'm very proudable man, he's got that debt mentality. Um.
Speaker 1: I kind of seen that when I was in Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: Carson Wins. They just have this. I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: just as or about themselves that baby and business are
Speaker 1: coming to work to get better. They're coming to work
Speaker 1: to be that type of leader. And from day one
Speaker 1: when he stepped in, man, it was good to get
Speaker 1: him back on the field and just just I mean
Speaker 1: just get to work. I mean that guy he leaves
Speaker 1: by example, and that's what you're like. You don't want
Speaker 1: sometimes you want somebody who talks a little bit more,
Speaker 1: just has a little bit more, like I guess shows
Speaker 1: a conference a little bit more. But that I mean
Speaker 1: when he steps on the field, gets between those white lines,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's all business and he shows us what
Speaker 1: was it like on that sideline fourth and one, You
Speaker 1: guys are trailing twenty three to twenty Tide Bowls. Is
Speaker 1: a decision to make there. You could try to kick
Speaker 1: the field goal or go for the win and then
Speaker 1: put it in your hands, the defensive hands to hold. Man,
Speaker 1: it was great. I mean I in my mind, IU wasself,
Speaker 1: let's go for it. I want to go get the win.
Speaker 1: I want to be aggressive, and I'm glad they did
Speaker 1: go for it. Um, But that just shows a lot
Speaker 1: of confidence that he hasn't us hasn't and Sam and
Speaker 1: his defense, and man, it was great. I have my
Speaker 1: head down the whole time. You really didn't look. I
Speaker 1: didn't look at all. I was down there, pray and
Speaker 1: trying to get this win. Man. But they pulled it out. Man,
Speaker 1: it was great execution by Sam through that last drive
Speaker 1: and defense came away and like you said, that true
Speaker 1: man had a big stop and see the game and
Speaker 1: it was a beautiful thing as soon as I happened. Man,
Speaker 1: we just, I don't know, kind of like a weight
Speaker 1: lifted off our shoulder. What do you think it was
Speaker 1: like for the defense yesterday? I know we primarily you're
Speaker 1: getting the snaps on special teams right now, obviously a
Speaker 1: valuable reserve defensively because d Roberts, who will talk about
Speaker 1: it in the second Daryl Roberts has taken over that
Speaker 1: starting role with Marcus maybeing out, but the challenge Josh
Speaker 1: Allen provided, especially when you're playing man back there. But
Speaker 1: have you seen a guy you can compare him to?
Speaker 1: And then also how were you guys able to make
Speaker 1: some adjustments in the second half and neutralize him, especially
Speaker 1: in the ground. Oh, Man, just just watching it and
Speaker 1: looking in on that man that kids a dynamic running
Speaker 1: I mean he can get out there end the gig
Speaker 1: and I mean he throws the ball easily eight yards
Speaker 1: I mean with no effort. So so playing that deep
Speaker 1: ball and making sure that we're on our p's and
Speaker 1: ques coverage while was big against him, but I mean
Speaker 1: when he's not throwing the ball, he uses his feet
Speaker 1: and he's very strong with that. He actually showed out
Speaker 1: a lot in the game, and it was kind of
Speaker 1: tough getting him in those third down situations and he
Speaker 1: breaks out for a big run and gets the first down.
Speaker 1: And that's kind of I guess the pleading to a defense.
Speaker 1: But for man, we got it together. Those guys went
Speaker 1: out there and just just just buckled down and really
Speaker 1: got beings handled. But um, it's not too much I
Speaker 1: can say more about him, man, I really rather talk
Speaker 1: about our defense how we stopped that's one thing. You
Speaker 1: neutralize them definitely, But I mean we needed that. We didn't.
Speaker 1: I mean obviously wouldn't have won the game, but I
Speaker 1: mean the guy's great. All respected him, he played a
Speaker 1: great game, and um that he's gonna have a bright future. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you got to watch the film
Speaker 1: on the Texas, but they're they're they're a solid, they're
Speaker 1: having a great year. They have a you know, obviously
Speaker 1: their defense and stacked with all kinds of all players.
Speaker 1: Quarterback Deshaun Watson, can you talk about some of the
Speaker 1: things that they bring against you. I mean we've pretty
Speaker 1: much might face the same type of challenge. We got
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins over there, who's a I mean dynamic receiver.
Speaker 1: I mean the kid can catch anything in his radius
Speaker 1: pretty much. And I mean they're just explosively. So you
Speaker 1: gotta be on your piece of queues. Up front, linebacker, secondary,
Speaker 1: We all got to be really uptight, I mean really
Speaker 1: tight with that communication. Make sure that we're all we're
Speaker 1: all on point then and I shouldn't take care of itself,
Speaker 1: but it's usually more about what we do and what
Speaker 1: we what we can control, and um, I feel like
Speaker 1: we handle that if it would be fun. What changes
Speaker 1: for you in terms of preparation now that you have
Speaker 1: a set or again, Man, each week, you should be
Speaker 1: studying even more, you should be going even harder. So
Speaker 1: that's that's really the standard of what we're going by. Um.
Speaker 1: But I mean, you just gotta watch film. Man, watch
Speaker 1: film and try to dissect him as much as you
Speaker 1: can figure out what you need to do. Game plan
Speaker 1: while is to stop them, and I mean execute. That's it.
Speaker 1: That's the biggest thing. A lot of guys can go
Speaker 1: into the game playing and say they're gonna do some that,
Speaker 1: but if you don't execute, man, it's all down for man. Now. Now,
Speaker 1: you talked earlier about communication for the importance of communication,
Speaker 1: How difficult is it when you're playing at home in
Speaker 1: MetLife the crowd is screaming, you can't hear the guy
Speaker 1: next to you. What kind of adjustments do you have
Speaker 1: to make in a home game to can municate with
Speaker 1: one another? Man? You, I feel like it comes to practice.
Speaker 1: You kind of get that feel and that chemistry what
Speaker 1: you're gonna do, and you're ahead of all motions, ahead
Speaker 1: of all formations, and that it just seems like you
Speaker 1: get a sense of what each other is gonna do.
Speaker 1: But communication, man, you gotta do everything possible with its
Speaker 1: yelling to the top of your lungs, to hand signals,
Speaker 1: to whatever you gotta do to get that communication right
Speaker 1: so you can make that play. UM for the most part,
Speaker 1: I mean, those guys do a great job of that.
Speaker 1: Our cultural prayers is very well and it's usually never
Speaker 1: a problem. How would you describe your career today? Cliff
Speaker 1: notes version coming out of Florida State, starting off with
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens, than coming over to Philadelphia now you've
Speaker 1: landed here with the Jets this Um, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: definitely been up and down. There's some things that I mean,
Speaker 1: i'mouldn't change anything. It definitely the NFL is definitely a
Speaker 1: crazy business. You never know what's gonna happen. But I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm happy with with what I'm doing now, but I
Speaker 1: always want to get better. I always want to improve
Speaker 1: my career and just keep going hiring man. UM getting
Speaker 1: drafted was definitely a big blessing. I mean, I thank
Speaker 1: God for that, and UM spend a couple of years
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. It went well. UM had the opportunity to
Speaker 1: go to Philadelphia right before they went to Sue. But
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, everything happens for a reason. Man,
Speaker 1: i couldn't be more happy with being here in New
Speaker 1: York and getting this opportunity. And I'm just just making
Speaker 1: the most out of man controlling what I can control
Speaker 1: and just just balling. Let's talk a little bit about
Speaker 1: something you're doing when you're not bawling, and that is
Speaker 1: you're you have an internship with the Player's Tribute and
Speaker 1: tell us what you're doing right now. I'm over there.
Speaker 1: We're just working on editing, trying to figure out what
Speaker 1: my niches in the photography game, and I'm just finding
Speaker 1: something that I'm interested in outside of football. It's it's
Speaker 1: something that kind of gives me like a piece outside. Um,
Speaker 1: I have my son who's four year old, so kind
Speaker 1: of brought me into that field doing a photography and
Speaker 1: doing things with him. But man, I just love it.
Speaker 1: It just it helps me, I mean just kind of
Speaker 1: get away trying to get that breath. And I mean

Speaker 1: welcoming over there. They are all something welcome to welcome

Speaker 1: your favorite spots to shoot? Oh, the Dumbo Park is
Speaker 1: one of my favorite spots. Man, I love that. The
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Bridge. I mean, those are two of the main spots.
Speaker 1: But really just any type of street photography. Just get
Speaker 1: out on the street, out in the middle of all
Speaker 1: the chaos and what's going on, and it's really just
Speaker 1: taking a moment. I'm from the country and we have
Speaker 1: about four stoplights at my Hometil you're from Florida. From Florida,
Speaker 1: the real small town. Um. They actually shot a scary
Speaker 1: movie called Jeeper Streepers in my hometown side that shows
Speaker 1: you how much of the nothern Florida. So man, it's
Speaker 1: definitely new being up here in the big city. Man.
Speaker 1: I'm always in all when I go down to Time Square,

Speaker 1: His name is Carter Brooks. Um, he's already a great
Speaker 1: baseball player. I mean, I'm not even he's not on

Speaker 1: and he's cracking him. Um. He wakes up about seven
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning, it is on a hundred miles

Speaker 1: hard as I am. Um. I want to do everything
Speaker 1: for him. And we're also expecting twins on the way.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Well you listen. You're doing good things.
Speaker 1: You're a valuable part of the New York Jets. But
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. You also have a future in
Speaker 1: this industry if you ever want to become part of it,
Speaker 1: because so well spoken and so many different stories, so
Speaker 1: many different angles that you can talk to us about.
Speaker 1: I wish we had more time and you were here
Speaker 1: prompting early. Terence Brooks on time delivering. We'll come right
Speaker 1: back with another guy delivers. Robbie Anderson. You're listening to
Speaker 1: and watching and said the Jets factor throws Allen second
Speaker 1: down to ten, looks right, throws one down the right sideline.
Speaker 1: It's intercepted, picked up by Tremaine Johnson, his second of
Speaker 1: the day, and it's gonna be victory formation for the
Speaker 1: New York Jets. Went under a minute to go. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to Inside. The Jets were broadcasting live from Vanderbilt
Speaker 1: Sports in Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton Park Hotel. Eric
Speaker 1: Allen alongside Eric Coleman. We got a double player guest
Speaker 1: segment tonight because Robbie Anderson joins us right now. And
Speaker 1: this segment is brought to you by M ANDT banked,
Speaker 1: Official Community Bank of your New York Jets. One of
Speaker 1: yesterday's heroes, Robbie four catches seventy six yards, which was
Speaker 1: your favorite winning the game. How I handle a game
Speaker 1: when the chip but you know what that kids at
Speaker 1: the end of the the game would beards the thirty seven
Speaker 1: yard or I asked you about it in the locker room.
Speaker 1: You said Sam Donald couldn't have had better ball placement,
Speaker 1: and said that was great. But I talked to Pennington
Speaker 1: about it today, Robbie, He said, you ran a fantastic
Speaker 1: route because as you stayed your ground, you never wavered
Speaker 1: as far as where you were because the cornerback was
Speaker 1: with you. Tres White, Yeah yeah, I set him up.
Speaker 1: You know they're playing off covers, so you know, I
Speaker 1: learned a lot of comebacks the game, so I give
Speaker 1: him a quick little hesitation. Not their hands dune balls
Speaker 1: right there would need to be Robert. Can you talk
Speaker 1: about that the touchdown catch? You know, Sam, he scrambled
Speaker 1: to the right, came back to the left. Can you
Speaker 1: talk about what you what your initial route was and
Speaker 1: how you broke free. I had to catch that pass on.
Speaker 1: My initial route was on past I caught earlier in
Speaker 1: the game in the red zone, like a little quick route.
Speaker 1: So I was hidding towards that side of the field
Speaker 1: and I saw him scramble, so I started running sideways.
Speaker 1: Then I ran up and I peeped and I saw
Speaker 1: him coming towards me side. Just took another step the
Speaker 1: other way towards him, and he hit me on. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, He put it on the money. Um.
Speaker 1: What do you think about your connection with Donald and
Speaker 1: how it continues to develop now? I think it's growing
Speaker 1: you know, took a little time. You know, both of
Speaker 1: us had a little both missed a little bit of
Speaker 1: a couple of games. But I definitely think our connections
Speaker 1: is growing a lot. So I got to finish out
Speaker 1: these next three weeks and you know, the future is
Speaker 1: bright hopefully. How different is maybe the trajectory of the ball,
Speaker 1: especially on a long ball, the way Sam throws it
Speaker 1: compared to maybe the way Josh mcconne is throwing that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a little different. You know, at first it was
Speaker 1: a little had to just to it a little bit,
Speaker 1: but I'm getting used to it now now. Now, Robbie,
Speaker 1: you know I talked to you about this before when
Speaker 1: you first came into the league. You're you're a guy
Speaker 1: who was known as as a deep ball guy, and
Speaker 1: you have turned into a complete receiver, running intermediate routes,
Speaker 1: quick routes, still doing the deep ball. Can you talk
Speaker 1: about the things you've done to evolve as a receiver? Oh,
Speaker 1: you know, just learning, you know, understanding the game, or
Speaker 1: understanding that I don't want to be one dimensional. You know,
Speaker 1: great receivers are on one dimensional, you know, and just
Speaker 1: you know, just taking it as it come. You know,
Speaker 1: I want to catch short rides and get the ball
Speaker 1: in my hands. I want to go deep. I want
Speaker 1: to get the ball the way possibly You know, have
Speaker 1: you had to be patient the season because you've been
Speaker 1: dealing with an ankle injury. And I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people in National Football League deal with injuries, but
Speaker 1: I know that they can be challenging at times. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this season had to be patient a lot. You know,
Speaker 1: things didn't go so so much. How last year I
Speaker 1: didn't get that much target sun games and stuff. But
Speaker 1: you know, that's how it go. You just got to
Speaker 1: make the most of the opportunities and you know, take
Speaker 1: it as it comes. What was it like in that
Speaker 1: winning locker room? He said, Hey, listen, I don't really
Speaker 1: have a favorite catch. I just have a favorite and
Speaker 1: that is winning. What was that feeling like when you
Speaker 1: guys exited the field knowing that you would secure victory? Man,
Speaker 1: that that was like, you know, when of the top
Speaker 1: top five feelings in the win since I've been here. Really, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was big. You know, we we've been coming close
Speaker 1: to losing. You know, it's been tough. You know, that
Speaker 1: feeling that we had that that at night was really great. Um, Robbie,
Speaker 1: how do you guys build on this win? You know
Speaker 1: you're coming in the fourth quarter. You know that the
Speaker 1: last couple of games of the season, you were close
Speaker 1: last week, this this past game, you come up with
Speaker 1: a win. How do you continue that momentum? I think
Speaker 1: just living off there, you know, taking that feeling and
Speaker 1: wanting to feel that again, you know, taking this momentum
Speaker 1: that we had right now, finishing strongly, you know, setting
Speaker 1: the standard for for us as a team to show
Speaker 1: that you know, we're not gonna lay down, you know,
Speaker 1: to keep showing that passion. And you know, when you
Speaker 1: play football, like how your off season is kind of
Speaker 1: dictated how your season, and so I think that we
Speaker 1: understand it as a team that we don't want to
Speaker 1: go into the off season with a bad feeling and
Speaker 1: as much regret as you will feel the same things
Speaker 1: right for this year. What impresses you most about Donald
Speaker 1: so far here early in his career on his work
Speaker 1: at it? You know, it's very humble. You know, usually
Speaker 1: you probably think that guys come in like drafted that high,
Speaker 1: maybe feeling entitled, and you know he doesn't give you
Speaker 1: that the vibe, but all you know, he works hard.
Speaker 1: You're gonna keep his head down, you know, him to
Speaker 1: itself pro and what's your communication like with him as
Speaker 1: far as you know, a quarterback and the wide receiver,
Speaker 1: they're gonna talk about certain things that I'm gonna run
Speaker 1: my route this way, or maybe you're gonna put the
Speaker 1: ball here. As far as that is concerned, how how
Speaker 1: does he go about that? And how do you go
Speaker 1: about that with him? He just lets me know what
Speaker 1: he sees and like what he expects throughout the week
Speaker 1: with certain things and what he's looking to do. And
Speaker 1: then you know, now I'm more open open up to
Speaker 1: him and letting him know, like I know how he's
Speaker 1: gonna play this, you know, just put it up this
Speaker 1: trust me, you know. So I think that we build
Speaker 1: that trust that door. What changes for you? I asked
Speaker 1: Steve Brooks about this too short week now Saturday game
Speaker 1: against the Houston Texas. Does that mean you got to
Speaker 1: speed up your preparations because you got one last day now? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know we've all played Saturday games, you played
Speaker 1: Thursday games, so you know it's just we don't got
Speaker 1: a way there as long to play now? Can you
Speaker 1: talk about I don't know how much you've seen of
Speaker 1: Houston and still earlier in the week, But can you
Speaker 1: talk about some of the the problems that they posed
Speaker 1: on your defense? You know that one of the top
Speaker 1: defenses in the league probably aggressive. Can you talk about
Speaker 1: the challenges that they bring for I know it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a big battle on the trenches. You know, that's
Speaker 1: where everything starts at. Regardless of how good or bad
Speaker 1: a team might be, it starts at the trenches. So
Speaker 1: you know that's where it's gonna start. I mean, like
Speaker 1: just like, let we're gonna have to develop that run
Speaker 1: game and the skilled players, we're gonna have to make
Speaker 1: our plays. So Robbie, I want to ask you a
Speaker 1: little bit off the field we got about I wish
Speaker 1: we had a little bit more time, but just about
Speaker 1: a minute or so, how do you go about your
Speaker 1: style as far as picking the selections, whatever you're wearing,
Speaker 1: maybe casual or even going on a plane business whatever,
Speaker 1: How do you go about it kind of depends, you know,
Speaker 1: but the vibe you know that I'm that that don't
Speaker 1: mean the weather, the climate, you know, and then just
Speaker 1: like certain things that's out there, you know, I like
Speaker 1: to kind of stay up to date with what's new
Speaker 1: things like that. So I just try and get a
Speaker 1: feel for what I'm how I'm feeling, exacting what's out
Speaker 1: there the tools from And I don't like to keep
Speaker 1: it like, you know, too generic and similar, like to
Speaker 1: keep keep a look different, you know, just like his play.
Speaker 1: He does not keep it generic as far as the
Speaker 1: wardrobe was is concerned. Hey, listen, great game yesterday against
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Continue to success to here and we
Speaker 1: will be right back and inside the Jets. Donald again,
Speaker 1: out of the shotgun, dropped the front, looks right, throws
Speaker 1: a bomb down the right sideline for Robbie Anderson drops
Speaker 1: it in complete. Inside the ten yard Live. Robbie Anderson
Speaker 1: toe taps at the bounds, tap the fills five yard line.
Speaker 1: What a throw from Donald. Welcome back to Inside the Jets. Remember,
Speaker 1: Jets fans, You can stream Inside the Jets Live through
Speaker 1: the Jets App presented by M and T Bank. Go

Speaker 1: Official New York Jets. Eric Allen and Eric Coleman here
Speaker 1: at Vanderbilt's Sports and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel.
Speaker 1: Uh we got rocking and a wrong with t Brooks
Speaker 1: tonight Terrence Brooks Jets safety Robbie Yes, that's right, Robbie Anderson,
Speaker 1: who uh really came up big for his rookie quarterback
Speaker 1: late against the Buffalo Bills, which was a very positive sign. Now, E,
Speaker 1: what did you think about Donald and his his performance,
Speaker 1: especially in the second half. Jetson have a lot of
Speaker 1: plays in the first half, didn't really establish too much
Speaker 1: of a rhythm there early on, but when plays were
Speaker 1: needed to be made late, Sam Donald was clutch. I
Speaker 1: loved it. I loved what I saw out of Sam
Speaker 1: in the second half. You know, he showed a lot
Speaker 1: of fight, showed a lot of moxie. You know, where
Speaker 1: he may have made a mistake, he came back, didn't
Speaker 1: let didn't let that back the next play. You know,
Speaker 1: you saw when he threw the interception running to his right.
Speaker 1: He came back a couple of series later, running to
Speaker 1: his left full speed, throws across his body and throws
Speaker 1: a strike to Robby Anderson, and that was an amazing past.
Speaker 1: He threw it over the top of a defender between
Speaker 1: two on the run. I mean, he showed a lot
Speaker 1: of signs of being a star in this league, and
Speaker 1: I'm I'm excited to continue to watch him grow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And that's the thing that bothers me. Um. I know
Speaker 1: fans want to get better and they look at the
Speaker 1: draft and say, we want to get a top draft pick.
Speaker 1: We're not going to the playoffs this year. You cannot
Speaker 1: tell me how insignificant it is for a quarterback in
Speaker 1: his rookie season to go through a two minute situation
Speaker 1: when the game is in his hands, and you're gonna
Speaker 1: tell me that doesn't matter. I don't buy that. It
Speaker 1: is so important that Sam Donald experiences these things down
Speaker 1: the stretch. That's why I was concerned he went out
Speaker 1: with a foot injury after the third player. I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, it is Donald out for the rest
Speaker 1: of the year, because you want to see this guy
Speaker 1: experience as much as he can for the rest of
Speaker 1: the two thousand eighteen season. And that has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with the draft. Do you know why a lot
Speaker 1: of people are concerned about where they're gonna be picking
Speaker 1: in the draft. It's because they don't have a quarterback.
Speaker 1: The New York Jets think they have their quarterback and oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, he's twenty one years old, and oh
Speaker 1: By the way, he had two touchdown drives in the
Speaker 1: decisive quarter against the Buffalo Bills in a cold environment
Speaker 1: when a lot of people would say, hey, Sam Donald's
Speaker 1: he's from southern California. He played at USC's probably a
Speaker 1: little too cold for him. And that was against the
Speaker 1: NFL's number one past defense. Yeah, it was great to
Speaker 1: see Sam get those reps. You know, these last couple
Speaker 1: of games are gonna be extremely valuable for Sam Donald
Speaker 1: and the rest of the team. Uh. The only way
Speaker 1: you learn how to win is by going out there
Speaker 1: and executing and doing it, you know. And you saw
Speaker 1: that the special teams came through with some big plays.
Speaker 1: The defense came up with stops and they needed to
Speaker 1: and offensively, like you mentioned, Sam Donald led those two
Speaker 1: minute drills. He threw that that passed down the sidelines
Speaker 1: when everyone you know, they could have settled for for
Speaker 1: for less. You know, I love to see that. And
Speaker 1: the more that Sam makes those throws, uh, shows that
Speaker 1: toughness and that grit. The more the coaches can can
Speaker 1: trust them to make big plays, and you'll start seeing
Speaker 1: more and more big plays. It's all about trust. Right now.
Speaker 1: Sam's getting that experience and I think that layoff that
Speaker 1: three games really helped him develop as a quarterback. You know,
Speaker 1: getting to sit back and watch from out from outside
Speaker 1: in watch Josh McCown make mistakes, watching make big plays,
Speaker 1: watch how defenses attack you. I think that helps the
Speaker 1: quarterback and you can see where it helps Sam. What
Speaker 1: about the players though, The guys in the room, they
Speaker 1: see him every day and now they can say, you
Speaker 1: know what, I was with him in the huddle in
Speaker 1: Buffalo and he let us down the field to victory.
Speaker 1: Or the defensive guys can say he was composed, he
Speaker 1: was even keeled. His temperament never changed in a situation
Speaker 1: like that. That has to make you feel good as
Speaker 1: a teammate that this is going to be our guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's infectious to see your leader go out there
Speaker 1: and fighting as hard as he is when you know,
Speaker 1: for all intents and purposes, you know they're not making
Speaker 1: the playoffs, so these games don't really count. You know what,
Speaker 1: My leaders out there busting is, but Jamal is out
Speaker 1: there busting is. But we're gonna follow these guys and
Speaker 1: continue to grow as a team because that's it's very
Speaker 1: it's imperative for this team to continue to get better,
Speaker 1: continue to fight. You know, it's it's not going at
Speaker 1: the speed that everyone on the outside wants it to.
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Jets wish they could have a couple
Speaker 1: of games, but they're continuing the show progress and different
Speaker 1: guys are stepping up each week, and that's what you
Speaker 1: love to see. What do you think about chaffed? What
Speaker 1: did you think about chapter one of the rivalry that
Speaker 1: we think is on the way? With Sam Donald leading
Speaker 1: the New York Jets and Josh Allen leading the Buffalo Bills,
Speaker 1: it was exciting, you know, and it was it was
Speaker 1: a small glimpse of what the future holds. You know,
Speaker 1: two guys going going back and forth with one with
Speaker 1: one another. Young, you know, they have a lot to go.
Speaker 1: You know. They both showed signs of greatness. You know,
Speaker 1: Josh Allen threw some great passes, he made some awesome runs,
Speaker 1: you know, running for a hundred and one yards. But
Speaker 1: Sam Donald showed that moxie at the end of the game.
Speaker 1: And I think that this battle, this rivalry is gonna
Speaker 1: get even bigger, you know. And if you're a Jets fan,
Speaker 1: if you're a fan of football, you have to be
Speaker 1: excited with the future holds. Trueman Johnson is going to
Speaker 1: be part of your future too. And I know he's
Speaker 1: an older veteran, but he just came over in the
Speaker 1: off season and he got off to a slow start,
Speaker 1: and that quad injury really hampered him in the middle
Speaker 1: stages of the season. But you gotta be encouraged when
Speaker 1: a guy finds the football three times in two weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, And and that's what he signed up for.
Speaker 1: You know, big time players making big time plays. That's
Speaker 1: what the Jets a the need. They're gonna need their
Speaker 1: stars to come through and make those big plays. And
Speaker 1: Tremaine has has done a great job all year of playing.
Speaker 1: You know, when he's healthy, he's one of the best
Speaker 1: corners in the league. Yes, he's gonna give up a play.
Speaker 1: You know, people always people. It's tough. It's a tough standard.
Speaker 1: When you have Darrell Reevass, who has been in your
Speaker 1: your organization and Rivas Island, I think Jets fan, we
Speaker 1: got spoiled by watching Darrell Revers go down there and
Speaker 1: shut down receivers and not allow a catch on the receiver.
Speaker 1: That that's a rare player, that's a Hall of Fame career,
Speaker 1: and it's tough to get those type of players. But
Speaker 1: I think Tremaine is a player who is going to
Speaker 1: be great for this team. He's gonna continue to to
Speaker 1: leave the defense and make big plays and be that
Speaker 1: corner that the Jets can rely on. Well, he's got
Speaker 1: something you can't teach in the National Football League. Number
Speaker 1: One is he's a monster. He's a big cornerback, and
Speaker 1: that means it's a physical presence on the back end
Speaker 1: that you can put outside the numbers. The other thing
Speaker 1: that I like that he brings to the table he
Speaker 1: is a confident player. Yeah, you and you have to
Speaker 1: be you. You have to be confident when you're playing
Speaker 1: out there on the island. It's you against the world.
Speaker 1: Your your confidence can't waiver because you got beat for
Speaker 1: a touchdown or something happened that you didn't want to happen.
Speaker 1: At cornerback, you have to be confident the entire game
Speaker 1: or you you're gonna lose. You're gonna lose your one
Speaker 1: on one matchups. And I love how his confidence resonates
Speaker 1: in that secondary. You can see it in Jamal, you
Speaker 1: can see it throughout you know, buster, It's great to
Speaker 1: have a group with that much confidence, because when you're
Speaker 1: playing in the secondary, when you make a mistake, it's
Speaker 1: the world against you. You have to have that chemistry
Speaker 1: with one another, to depend on each other to know
Speaker 1: I got your back no matter what happens in this game. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: Isaiah Kroil goes down early against the Bills. He was
Speaker 1: dealing with the toll injury one out there in the
Speaker 1: first quarter. But what did you think about Eli McGuire's performance.
Speaker 1: He popped one in the second half, and I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what that fourth and one run. Nice job blocking
Speaker 1: up front by the Jets against what jaf Pennington would
Speaker 1: say was the six two front from the Buffalo Bills
Speaker 1: there at the goal line, but a lot out of
Speaker 1: young running backs. He you know this a guy who's
Speaker 1: been in those goal line situations. They wouldn't have remained patient.
Speaker 1: They would have went inside there and it wasn't there.
Speaker 1: He remade patient, waited for his blockers and then eventually
Speaker 1: got over that goal line. Yeah, that was a fantastic
Speaker 1: run by by Eli. Great job by the big fellas
Speaker 1: up front and getting a hat for a hat, giving
Speaker 1: him a lane to run. And Eli showed a lot
Speaker 1: of patients. He showed a lot of maturity on that run, because,
Speaker 1: like you said, a lot of young guys would be
Speaker 1: anxious to get across the goal line. You know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to run through him. How about you
Speaker 1: left the play developed, Let everyone get a hat for
Speaker 1: a hat, find the lane for yourself, cut through and
Speaker 1: score the game. When he touchdown, that's a big time play. Uh.
Speaker 1: Tough break for the Jets there. Darren Lee suspended for
Speaker 1: the final four games uh the two thousand and eighteen season.
Speaker 1: I know he's disappointed. I know Todd Bowls expressed his disappointment.
Speaker 1: But with that being said, we'll talk about d Lee
Speaker 1: here in a minute. On the other side of the commercial,
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about Neville. You would coming
Speaker 1: in there, he starts, he was all over the place.
Speaker 1: He eight tackles yesterday, which tied for the team lead. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, next man up. That mentality you talk
Speaker 1: about it, and in this group is full of guys
Speaker 1: who prepare like starters. They're all but sure beyond their years,
Speaker 1: and when their numbers called, you've seen guys step up.
Speaker 1: You've seen in the secondary with Darryl Roberts playing safety,
Speaker 1: you know you you saw it. You know all over
Speaker 1: the field. When when guys go down, a lot of
Speaker 1: the younger guys will step up and make those plays.
Speaker 1: And that's what it's about, gaining that experience, getting that depth,
Speaker 1: and getting those repetitions. So when something like this happens,
Speaker 1: everyone's prepared to you don't miss a beat. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: came on and the starting lineup. He played very well.
Speaker 1: Kevin Pierre Lewis also did a couple of things defensively.
Speaker 1: He's been a special Teams UH fixture for the Jets
Speaker 1: in two thousand eighteen. We are going to take a
Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back and the staid the Jets.
Speaker 1: This will be a forty nine yard field goal attempt
Speaker 1: from the left hash for how she got to try
Speaker 1: and tack on three more for Buffalo at the brain.
Speaker 1: Matt Darr the punter, will hold a snap, clean the
Speaker 1: placement down. The kick is blocked. It falls back to
Speaker 1: about the fifteen yard line, picked up by Ron test Miles.
Speaker 1: He's gonna try and run it back. He gets hit
Speaker 1: and lost the football and now it's scooped up by
Speaker 1: Terence Crooks. Crooks will run right. He breaks the tackle
Speaker 1: and he's down at the twenty four yard line. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to Inside the Jets. The Jets Reward members, don't
Speaker 1: forget to enter the code snow Flake in your Jets
Speaker 1: Rewards portal during the show to earn a hundred points.
Speaker 1: That is Snowflake. Eric Ellen and Eric Coleman. Here we
Speaker 1: are at Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's
Speaker 1: Park Hotel. So the Jets moved to four and nine.
Speaker 1: The challenge will be a little bit tougher this week.
Speaker 1: No disrespect to the Buffalo Bills, but they aren't are
Speaker 1: not at the level of the Houston Texans right now.
Speaker 1: The Texans has had a nine game winning streak snapped
Speaker 1: by the Indianapolis Colts. You know they're gonna be probably
Speaker 1: playing playoff football and they're gonna look to get on
Speaker 1: back to the winning side of things here at MetLife
Speaker 1: Stadium on Sunday. Yeah, you know, the Jets are playing
Speaker 1: a complete football team in the Houston Texans. I mean
Speaker 1: you look offensively. Everyone talks about their defense, but offensively,
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller is closing in on a thousand yards Russian
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is a prolific quarterback who can run the ball,
Speaker 1: he can throw it. DeAndre Hopkins one of the best
Speaker 1: receivers in the NFL on the offensive side of the ball.
Speaker 1: So and then on defense, yeah, J J. Watt, Whitney, Merciless,
Speaker 1: Jadeveon Clowney, Kareem Jackson in the secondary. They have a
Speaker 1: ton of talent on this team and it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a big time challenge for the Jets. As the guy
Speaker 1: who played safety in the National Football League, what do
Speaker 1: you think about Hopkins? Where would you rate him in
Speaker 1: two thousand eight team? Oh? That that's tough, you know,
Speaker 1: because he's right there in the top ten and receiving
Speaker 1: as far as yards. But when you look at when
Speaker 1: you watch the way he plays, he's one of the
Speaker 1: most dangerous receivers in the league. He's got great hands,
Speaker 1: he's got amazing hands, he's got after the catch. He
Speaker 1: does a great job of making defenders miss, and he's
Speaker 1: one of those receivers that strikes a lot of fear
Speaker 1: into a defense. We mentioned Tremaine Johnson before, I would
Speaker 1: imagine Tremaine Johnson is gonna be matched up with Hopkins.
Speaker 1: This is why you pay him the big bucks. This
Speaker 1: is why you acquire Tremaine Johnson to defend you know, Deshaun,
Speaker 1: I mean DeAndre Hopkins, some of the elite receivers in
Speaker 1: the league, and no, he's not gonna keep him catchless,
Speaker 1: but he should be able to contain him, keep him
Speaker 1: from limited his big plays and that should help the
Speaker 1: defense a lot. On the other side of the spectrum,
Speaker 1: they made an interesting trade this year because they were
Speaker 1: dealing with some injuries. The Texans did the Marius Thomas,
Speaker 1: long time Denver Bronco. Now he's playing across the way.
Speaker 1: So these are big receivers on the outside for Deshaun Watson. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a ton of weapons at Deshaun Watson's disposal, you know.
Speaker 1: The Marius Thomas is a long time Denver Bronco, one
Speaker 1: of their all time greats. Lining up on the opposite
Speaker 1: side of DeAndre Hopkins makes it tough to double team,
Speaker 1: you know, because there there's a ton of miss match situations.
Speaker 1: But I think the Jets are built for games like this.
Speaker 1: They have a ton of talent out there. Of Clayborne's
Speaker 1: healthy and he can go back out there buster screen
Speaker 1: back healthy, these are guys who can compete against these
Speaker 1: big receivers. And play some good football. But it's all
Speaker 1: gonna come down to can the big fellas up front
Speaker 1: get pressure, can they contain Deshaun Watson, And ultimately can
Speaker 1: they stop the run? Because that's gonna be the deciding
Speaker 1: factor in this game, stopping that run, because you limit
Speaker 1: what Texas can do if you if you stop the run.
Speaker 1: Would you describe Josh Allen, who the Jets just saw
Speaker 1: as a thrower who is also a runner an athlete,
Speaker 1: but Deshaun Watson as a passer who can run. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson definitely is a pastor who can run, and
Speaker 1: he he can running well. You know, he's very agile.
Speaker 1: He can make you miss if if need be, but
Speaker 1: he's gonna stay in that pocket. Yeah, He's gonna try
Speaker 1: to stay in the pocket as long as he can.
Speaker 1: But if that play breaks down, everybody better get their
Speaker 1: eyes back to the quarterback because he can run. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, Josh Allen is the guy who's a long
Speaker 1: strider who you know, he's once he gets in the
Speaker 1: open field, he's gonna take what the defense gives him
Speaker 1: and then get down. Deshaun Watson can make you miss,
Speaker 1: so he makes you dangerous and uh, and he's a
Speaker 1: great passer, a great thrower on the run, very accurate
Speaker 1: when he's on the run. So you know the defense
Speaker 1: is gonna have a great job. But the Jet's defense
Speaker 1: is ready for a game like this. You know they
Speaker 1: have the skilled players, they have the defensive lineman, the secondary.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a great matchup. I'm excited for it.
Speaker 1: What about it offensively? What does Donald have to do
Speaker 1: against this front that you just mentioned. J. J. Watt
Speaker 1: as good as anybody who's playing defense in the National
Speaker 1: Football League. I think he's got twell when I have
Speaker 1: sex this year, And you mentioned Davian Cloudey. He deals
Speaker 1: with the injuries sometimes, but a guy, he's explosive off
Speaker 1: the edge. You mentioned merciless. The sack numbers aren't there,
Speaker 1: but you have to count for him and he's on
Speaker 1: the field. I gotta imagine you gotta have some kind
Speaker 1: of balance and maybe you gotta use the backs out
Speaker 1: of the backfield. In terms of being outlots for Durnal
Speaker 1: this week, Yeah, you're gonna need, you know, a ton
Speaker 1: of outlets. They're gonna have to stay in chip on
Speaker 1: those on those pass rushers. But I think when you
Speaker 1: run the football well, it neutralizes what you can do
Speaker 1: as a pass rusher. You know, we we talked to
Speaker 1: Henry Anderson earlier in the year and he talked about
Speaker 1: the importance of getting off on that run, getting off
Speaker 1: on the pass game. When when when you have a lead,
Speaker 1: when those D linemen can pin their ears back and
Speaker 1: get after the pass rusher, That's what a D lineman wants,
Speaker 1: that's what they thrive on. If you can run the ball,
Speaker 1: slow him down on their on their initial burst, it
Speaker 1: helps out those offensive linemening and gives them an opportunity
Speaker 1: to protect and keep them in front of him. But J. J.
Speaker 1: Watt poses a problem. He's so big and long. You
Speaker 1: know he can get up and now that's what I
Speaker 1: was just gonna ask you what makes them so special.
Speaker 1: His his motor is NonStop. We know that, and he's
Speaker 1: a big dude, and you just talked about his length.
Speaker 1: But what takes them to another level, what takes him
Speaker 1: to another level is you know, once he's once he
Speaker 1: is blocked in the passing, in the pass rush, when
Speaker 1: he when his initial move gets blocked, he has the
Speaker 1: awareness to keep his eyes in the quarterback and he
Speaker 1: has that long wingspan. He gets his hands up. He
Speaker 1: knocks down more passes probably than any defensive lineman in
Speaker 1: the league. So he does a great job of converting
Speaker 1: that pass rush to to knocking down passes, and he
Speaker 1: has a ton of range for a big fellow. Uh
Speaker 1: We mentioned before darrenly a tough break for him. What
Speaker 1: kind of advice would he give him? A few and
Speaker 1: an opportunity to get his ear as now his season
Speaker 1: has come to an end. Unfortunately, learn from your mistakes.
Speaker 1: You know that that the most important part of making
Speaker 1: a mistake is learning from it and not repeating it,
Speaker 1: becoming a better person for that, you know. I think
Speaker 1: that he's definitely disappointed that he's seeing his teammates, letting
Speaker 1: his teammates down going out there without him. He's a
Speaker 1: he's a player that everyone depends on um and it
Speaker 1: hurts and it should hurt him, you know, And hopefully
Speaker 1: it motivates him to become a better player, a better
Speaker 1: teammate and and help and maybe he's gonna help his
Speaker 1: team get better and learn how to play without him,
Speaker 1: learn how how important he is to the team. And
Speaker 1: I think it's important that it's a it's a learning
Speaker 1: lesson for the rest of the guys. Learn from his mistake.
Speaker 1: Don't make the mistake yourself. Learn from someone else's mistakes.
Speaker 1: Three interceptions this year that was tied for the NFL
Speaker 1: high amongst linebackers. And he was second on this team
Speaker 1: in terms of tackles. And we talked about Nevil Hewitt
Speaker 1: before did a fine job starting alongside Avery Williamson against
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. So those are the kinds of things
Speaker 1: that you want to see down the stretch. We had
Speaker 1: Terrence Brooks are on the start the show. The Jet
Speaker 1: special teams has just been have been unbelievable. I mean
Speaker 1: Brandt Boyer, Wow, he just consistently for thirteen games now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they've done a great job executing an all phase of
Speaker 1: the special teams game. You know the field goal kicker Myers,
Speaker 1: Jason Meyers, Yeah, yeah, he better be in the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1: I mean because he's hit some some long shots. He's
Speaker 1: done a great job on kickoffs. Uh, you look at
Speaker 1: Lachlan done a great job of punting the ball. The
Speaker 1: coverage units have done a great job and that kickoff return,
Speaker 1: that that return game has propelled the Jets and helped
Speaker 1: out put a lot of points on the board. Help
Speaker 1: Sam Donald in that offense getting some great field position.
Speaker 1: But that's the thing with Andre Roberts that separates them
Speaker 1: from the rest the returners. When we're talking about Pro Bowl,
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, and you can still vote for the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, I'm pretty sure he said he's getting it done.
Speaker 1: Not only is a kick return, he's getting it done
Speaker 1: as a punt returner. You look at the league numbers,
Speaker 1: so um, he should be in the Pro Bowl. Jason
Speaker 1: Meyer should be in the Pro Bowl. And Jamal Adams
Speaker 1: has definitely going the Pro Bowl, and we know that's happening.
Speaker 1: But the Jets are gonna try to extend a win
Speaker 1: streak now and hopefully they can get by the Houston Texans.
Speaker 1: But Eric Coleman and I will be back here next
Speaker 1: week and it's the Jets.
