1
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Official Jets Podcast powered

2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: by Amazon Web Services. Ethan Greenberg, Eric Allen here in

3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: the Ben MGM studio. We got Joe Flacco fresh off

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: of bye week and we're off. We're fresh off the

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: bye week too. Yeah, yeah, feeling pretty good as we

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: started up the season second half. I know technically this

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: second half started against the Patriots for the New York Jets,

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: but these are the final seven games and you just

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: want to see this team continue to develop and take

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: strides forward, and with Joe Flacco at the home I

11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: think they did just that against the New England Patriots.

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: I thought they played their best offensive game in the season.

13
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: And we also have Bart Scott, like we do every week,

14
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: for the Victor Knox Swiss Army Player of the Game,

15
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: basically a preview of the Jets Chargers. More of a

16
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: micro look at things, whether it's a player or a

17
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: matchup to watch as the Jets will travel west for

18
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: their first of three West Coast games, and that got

19
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: crunched as well because of the schedule change. Three in

20
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: the next five weeks, the Jets will be on the

21
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: West Coast. Of course, that starts here with the game

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: against the Chargers, and they'll be in the new stadium,

23
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: and then in just a few weeks they'll be back

24
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: in l A after playing the Seattle Seahawks, where they'll

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: kind of complete and NFC Western Swing of First they'll

26
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: match up with Russell Wilson and company out there in Seattle,

27
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: and then they'll be right back in l A at

28
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: the same stadium the Chargers play in, facing the ramps. Yeah,

29
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: that's a lot of travel and we knew that coming

30
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: in and back when the schedule came out, or let's

31
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: just say before the pandemic, I think a lot of

32
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: people were thinking, well, maybe the Jets would stay out

33
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: there for a week, and that's probably not going to

34
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 1: be the case this at this point in time, given

35
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: the way everything is right now in the world. And

36
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: in terms of this podcast, the Official Jets Podcast powered

37
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: by AWS with Joe Flacco. Thought Joe was great. And

38
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: you know, Joe might get labeled as maybe a boring guy,

39
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: and he said so himself, but he's a fun dude.

40
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: I thought it was rather therapeutic for Flacco because he

41
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: was able to get some things off his mind talking

42
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: about his family. But no, a very intelligent guy. Who's

43
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: accomplished a lot in the National Football League. And I

44
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: know you're not supposed to root for players, and we

45
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: basically tell the stories and we try to connect the

46
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: fans with the players and the coaches and members of

47
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: the organization. But Flacco is a guy you root for,

48
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: considering what happened with him the last couple of seasons.

49
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: Of course, Lamar Jackson taken over with the Baltimore Ravens.

50
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: Then he started eight games with the Denver Broncos a

51
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: year ago and unfortunately had to have next surgery in

52
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: the off season. A lot of people wondered if he'd

53
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: ever play again. He signed with the Jets to be

54
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: Sam Donald's back up, and he started three games already,

55
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: and I thought he looked really tremendous against the Patriots,

56
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: stood there tall in the pocket, and god, he's a

57
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: big guy six ft six, accurate with the long ball

58
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: and just great command. So he does have a future

59
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. You saw that against the Patriots.

60
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: He can still win in this league. All right. Without

61
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: further ado, let's hear from Joe Flacco, now joined by

62
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: Jets quarterback Joe Flacco on the Official Jezz Podcast. Joe

63
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: thanks a lot for joining us, And I want to

64
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: start with this. A lot of people know your accolades

65
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: as a professional athlete, but you come from an athletic family,

66
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: have many brothers who are very athletic. Can you tell

67
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: us their background? And was baseball really your first love? Well? Yeah,

68
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: I mean, just talk about baseball. It's just one of

69
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: those sports that you know, we grew up playing as

70
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: a family, and it's one of the ones that's really

71
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: easy to get into when you're super young. So, um,

72
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: you know, I probably played that one the longest. And

73
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, my parents didn't let us play football until

74
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: you're twelve years old, you know, contact football at least

75
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: until you're twelve years old, so we started playing right

76
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: around that age. And um, you know, kind of an

77
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: interesting football path too. I mean my first few years

78
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: playing football, I wasn't the quarterback obviously, because we started

79
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: playing so late that you know, most of the teams

80
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: I was on had their guy already, so you got

81
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: to play you know, a wide variety of positions and

82
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: things like that. Um, you know, I always knew I

83
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: could always throw the ball pretty well, so always knew

84
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: I was gonna be quarterback or wanted to be the

85
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: quarterback when I got to high school. So, um, you know,

86
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: I was kind of just getting my feet underneath me

87
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: in terms of peewee and things like that. But um,

88
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean my dad. I went to University Pennsylvania,

89
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: played football and baseball there. I have four brothers. I

90
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: have a sister. My brother that I grew up with,

91
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: you know, right underneath me. Uh, played minor league baseball

92
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: for the Wrials for a little while, and then he

93
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: was he was on a few practice squads. Um about

94
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: a couple of years after that. Um. I have a

95
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: brother who walked on at Stanford and played played for

96
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: them for a few years. My youngest brother h bounced

97
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: around in college but ended up having a really good

98
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: career at Cowsing and is hoping to get a shot somewhere, um,

99
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: you know, somewhere along the way here. So um, sports

100
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: were always a part of kind of how we grew up.

101
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: It was probably a little bit different eraror that I

102
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,679
Speaker 1: grew up in. I think with my kids now, um,

103
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: just how I see everything being so organized and you know,

104
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: you can see it back when I was playing kids

105
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: specializing in one sport or something like that. But even nowadays,

106
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: everything is just so organized, you know. It's not like

107
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: kids are running around and riding around on their bikes

108
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: and knocking on doors and just organizing their own games

109
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: that much anymore. And that's kind of how I grew up,

110
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 1: you know, besides baseball, uh, you know, in my youth

111
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: playing athletics, it was just bouncing from one sport to

112
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: the next on the schoolyard and seeing how good we

113
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: could get. What were you like as an older brother?

114
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: And what are you like now? Is an all their brother?

115
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: Because you set the tone for your entire family if

116
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: you really think about it. One is six, but Joe

117
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: Flacco was the first in line. Yeah, it's interesting. I

118
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: don't know if that's a common thing or an uncommon

119
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: thing when you're when you're you know, to have the

120
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: oldest brother actually, um, jump right out ahead and do

121
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: those kind of things. But I definitely think that, you know,

122
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: being the oldest, for whatever reason, molds of your personality

123
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: in a certain way. Um, you know, I think for me,

124
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: it's definitely given me a sense of allowing things to

125
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: kind of get brushed off, you know. It allows me

126
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: to brush things off probably a little bit easier and

127
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: not be as emotional about things, just because you know,

128
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: I grew up with definitely my brother who's too HEAs

129
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: younger than me, but in some respects all of my

130
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: siblings kind of coming after me and trying to trying to,

131
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: you know, take me off of the mountain and being

132
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: the best, beating the oldest and all those things. So

133
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: you see, you know, so I got used to that.

134
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: I got used to them being emotional about things and

135
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: always wanting to beat me, and me realizing like, Okay,

136
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm still a little bit better than this guy. I

137
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: can beat him, you know, but it's not the end

138
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: of the world. If ever, if every now and then

139
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: he thinks he's he thinks he's got a little like

140
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: up on me, you know, at the end of the day,

141
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,239
Speaker 1: I know he doesn't. So so you know, there's definitely

142
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: things about that that kind of mold your personality, and

143
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: I think for me, it's definitely the case. Obviously, I

144
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of that's probably born in me also,

145
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: But you know, I can see my own kids, you know,

146
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: Bertha order for some reason, you know, it definitely feels

147
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: like it matters to some extent, and I think that

148
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: that's kind of my perspective on it. It It allows me

149
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: to have you know, it allows I just feel like

150
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: it it. I grew up with practice of keeping my

151
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,119
Speaker 1: emotions in check, no matter how hard or how easy

152
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: things are. Um, just because of dealing with you know,

153
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: learning how to deal with other people's emotions and seeing

154
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,239
Speaker 1: what it does to him. And so Ethan, I'm learning

155
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: a lot already right now early in the podcast, because

156
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: I am the youngest in my family. So maybe that

157
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: explains why I'm so emotional. My younger brother you can't

158
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: control himself. And he also think, you know, he was

159
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: never super challenged, like he just saw all of us

160
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: do it, and he just assumed from the time he

161
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: was six months old. I think that he was the

162
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: best at everything in the world, everything, not just athletics. Everything.

163
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: He's never wrong. And I mean, I I have that

164
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,679
Speaker 1: in me to like believe me, you know. I asked

165
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: my brothers, they asked, my wife asked my father. I mean,

166
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: when I'm in an argument, I'm never wrong either. Um.

167
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: But you know, uh, it's definitely when the youngest man,

168
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: they never get dethroned as from you know, from their

169
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: parents as a child. You know, so they're always just

170
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: the center of attention and they think the world revolves

171
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: around them most of the time. Sorry, I don't mean

172
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: to be picking on you, damn kind of coming at

173
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: youngest siblings, but um no, I mean my youngest brother.

174
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: It's it's it's there's a lot of there's a lot

175
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: of that, and I honestly think, you know, it's a

176
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: it's a it's a pretty big advantage when you're the youngest,

177
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: and you could like when he was in high school,

178
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: he was watching me play NFL games, Like, I don't

179
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: really think he he had the same I don't think

180
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: high school football was as big for him as it

181
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: was for me. You know, I think he had a

182
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: completely different perspective on it. I think he was like, Man,

183
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: this is high school football. I'm gonna go out there

184
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna kill these guys, you know, Whereas whereas

185
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: when I was in high school football that was the

186
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: biggest thing I had ever seen, you know, So I

187
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: was still like, man, this is this is the big time,

188
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: you know, and then when you go to college, you're like, man,

189
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: what was I thinking, Like it wasn't that big of

190
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: a deal. Well, I think he had that perspective going

191
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: in to you know, starting his athletic career, which I

192
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: think can be a huge advantage because just because your confidence,

193
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: you know, is higher than maybe it would be otherwise.

194
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: So Joe's the oldest, he's the youngest. I'm both the

195
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: oldest and the youngest because I'm the only so I'm

196
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: kind of the So, you know, just watching you Joe

197
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: described the youngest, I could see like you thinking back

198
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: on childhood memories and your youngest brother. With Thanksgiving around

199
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: the corner, you must have some great Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl

200
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: style and big competition. I would imagine all year round,

201
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: some great stories from the thing about the cool thing

202
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: about where I grew up on South Jersey was that,

203
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 1: you know, the high school football season was still going on,

204
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: and we always played our rival on Thanksgiving, and we

205
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: played him at like eleven o'clock in the morning on Thanksgiving.

206
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: So Thanksgiving dinner, uh definitely was was either bitter or

207
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: sweet depending on how that game went. UM, So that

208
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 1: kind of always, you know, and and it it made

209
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: it a little bit extra the fact that the rival,

210
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: the rival high school, our rival high school is where

211
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: my parents went to high school. So it always gave

212
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: me a little bit extra incentive to kind of beat

213
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: up on those guys and and things like that. I

214
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: still had some cousins that went to the school, not

215
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: that I was playing against him, but uh yeah. We

216
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: never really had any backyard turkey bowls, but we were

217
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: able to play some real games and it made a

218
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: lot of fun. And even growing up and I wasn't

219
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: playing like when I was a young kid. We would

220
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: always go to that game, and you know, and you know,

221
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: you see your dad talking to all the old guys

222
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: and things like that, and you know, you you you

223
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: envisioned yourself playing one day. So it was pretty cool.

224
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: You are in twentieth place on the NFL's all time

225
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: passing list now and you didn't style with the fifty

226
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: yard touchdown to Brashad Perriman doesn't give you chills thinking

227
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: that you just passed Joe Montana, a guy that you

228
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: looked up to growing up. Well, I think anytime, Like

229
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: I think that's the core thing is the fact, you know,

230
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: not in the number or how many yards or anything

231
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: like that, but the fact that Joe Montana is the

232
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: guy that you recently passed, you know, I mean, I

233
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: think everybody looks at him and you know, holds him

234
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: up there probably until more recently with Tom uh, you know,

235
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: winning all the Super Bowls he's won. But you know,

236
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: obviously Joe's in that conversation for being the best quarterback

237
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: to ever play. So I think any time that you're

238
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: you know, in his arena, for whatever reason, it makes

239
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: it a little bit uh, you know, it adds to

240
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: the value of it for whatever reason. You know, EA

241
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: was just talking about Breshad Perriman and that touchdown connection

242
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: you had is I'm just curious, what do you see

243
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: in terms of Brashad as a difference as a person

244
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: from when you knew him in Baltimore are to now

245
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 1: reuniting with the Jets. You know, I think when he's

246
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, I mean, he was dealing with a lot

247
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: of little tiny injuries and things like that that we're

248
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: kind of keeping him from being full speed and being

249
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: able to run, you know, the way he can, and really,

250
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: you know, at a certain point that affects your confidence.

251
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: I think he's been able to go some places and

252
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: have success, and I think that you can you can

253
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: see that it shows up on the field, the fact

254
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: that he's going out and played well and made a

255
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: name for himself in this league. Um, you know, he

256
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: he's able to use all that speed on the field

257
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: and really play confident. And you can see that you're

258
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: thirty five years old, but you said the other day

259
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: you feel like a fifteen year old out there playing.

260
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: How good did it feel? Just the comfort zone you

261
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: were in against the Patriots, because it's been a tough

262
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: road back for you following next surgery. And I looked

263
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: at some of those players with Adam Gates. We were

264
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: taking the Coaches Show the other day and you were

265
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: on it. The accuracy on a long ball was really

266
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: something else. Do you think you took that step forward

267
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 1: and you prove something to people? Well, I think, listen,

268
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: I think ultimately you know also not just about proving

269
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: things to people. Is yeah, I've I proved every time

270
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: I go out there and can have some kind of success.

271
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: I proved to myself over and over and over again.

272
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: And as a player, that's what you have to constantly

273
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: be doing. You have to constantly be going out there

274
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: and passing the test in your own mind, and you know,

275
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: and getting that confidence level higher and higher and higher.

276
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, the first two weeks that

277
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: I played We're a good We're a good little um

278
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: ramp up for me, and I think they did some

279
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: good things. But that I think they definitely helped me

280
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: and allowing you know, allowing me to play free and

281
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: be confident as I took the field. And then you know,

282
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: we played a good team game. It's a shame that

283
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 1: we weren't able to finish it out. Um. So you know,

284
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: so I did feel like we did a lot of

285
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: good things, but you know, you want to win the

286
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: football game and that's the most important thing. So the

287
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: fact that we weren't able to finish that one out

288
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: is definitely tough. Um. But yes, it was a good

289
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: chapter for me to kind of get out there and

290
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,599
Speaker 1: and and and start to feel it again. It was

291
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Where does a touchdown to crowd

292
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: or rank up there? Because then probability rate on that

293
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: most people would have thought that no chance for success there. Instead,

294
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: you guys connect on a score and pass and then

295
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: going back to the Perriman bit, Joe, you kind of

296
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: throw that in the run. You kind of made a

297
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: hop and a jump before you release that. So um,

298
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: where it will take me through both the crowder pass

299
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: when you look ye, I probably wouldn't have thought much

300
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: of it, to be honest with you, but everybody makes

301
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: a big feel about it. And I think he made

302
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: an unbelievable catch just getting his feet in and not

303
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: not bobbling that ball even a little bit. Um. I

304
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: played with a guy Derek Mason back and growing my career,

305
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: and he was unbelievable at keeping his feet and bound

306
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: and catching the ball just like crowded it on that one,

307
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: and it reminded me a lot of that. Um, unbelievable

308
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: job by him. Um. And then the Breshad one. You know,

309
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: I knew I had him and I kind of somebody

310
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: coming coming, you know, outside of our left tackle, and

311
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: he was nowhere. He wasn't really nowhere near me, but

312
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: I kind of felt him for whatever reason. That's why

313
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: I kind of took those two little steps up, and um,

314
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: I mean, brasht beat him so bad and in the

315
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: safety it kind of sat down and came out of

316
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, So it was pretty easy

317
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: from that standpoint. Um. But it's definitely nice to throw

318
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: some of those and get some touchdowns on the board

319
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: just as an offense. I mean, I think we've been

320
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: struggling to get the ball in the end zone a

321
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: little bit, so that to get over that hump to

322
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: a certain extent definitely made guys confidence and got guys

323
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: got guys rolling a little bit. On a totally separate,

324
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: unrelated note, Joe, I have two It's a two parter,

325
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: and both of those questions are also unrelated. As I'm

326
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: watching you answer the question, I'm noticing your beards coming

327
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: in real nice it's and so I'm curious, are you

328
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: the only Flacco that can grow a beard? Or is

329
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: that a family gene where all Flaccos can grow beards?

330
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: And the second part of this is, as someone from

331
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: South Jersey, what do you think about people that refer

332
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: to pork role as Taylor had m Well, I just

333
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: all right, so that with the beard thing is like, no,

334
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: it's not everything. I mean, I don't know what my

335
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: dad can do. I think one of my other brothers

336
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: would be able to grow a legit beard like this,

337
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: all the other ones no chance. Um and the the yeah,

338
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: the pork rol tailor ham thing. I mean, I wouldn't

339
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: eve even known the difference. I wouldn't have even known

340
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: that people call it tailor Ham. You know, when you

341
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: when you grow up in a little bubble, you just

342
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: you just assume everybody knows what pork role is. And

343
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: obviously tailor Hams basically just a brand name of that.

344
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: So I kind of understand where I am, uh you

345
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: know where my feet are, and obviously if I'm up here,

346
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure if people know what pork role is.

347
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: So I just referred to it as tailor ham just

348
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: so when I leave out the confusion. There's a lot

349
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: of things like that. I mean, I now say water,

350
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: but like down in South Jersey Philly area, everybody calls

351
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: it water. And I got I got tired of people.

352
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: I got tired of waitresses, you know, looking at me

353
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: like you know when I when I would say I'll

354
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: just have a water, and they'd be like look at me,

355
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: like what you know, what is that? What? What? What?

356
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: What in the broad are you talking about? So like

357
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: there's little things, definitely with my accent, and then just

358
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: with things you know different you know, obviously, different people

359
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: from different parts of the country refer to things with

360
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: different names. So I kind of have gotten picked on

361
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: enough to realize that, you know, maybe everything I say

362
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: isn't quite normal, So I have to try to be

363
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: in the moment and understand what people might take that as.

364
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: Do you like the nickname Joe cool? And there's no

365
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: way in how your family calls it Joe cool? What's

366
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: the nickname your family has given you. I don't think

367
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: you want to know anything that my family, uh, you know,

368
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: is giving me. And I'm cool with all nicknames. I mean,

369
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,239
Speaker 1: you can call me whatever you want, like It's one

370
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: of the one of the things we were talking about

371
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: earlier the day earlier in this conversation is just you

372
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: know whatever, call me whatever you want. I'll let you

373
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: do it. I'm really just Joe. That's all I really

374
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: care about is being called Joe. But you can call

375
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: me whatever you want. Most of the people in my

376
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: family are trying to look to pick on me for

377
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. I'm the older brother. They just look

378
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: at me as an easy target. I'm not very funny,

379
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: I don't have any personality, just the same things. People would,

380
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: all the same things that people want to say about me,

381
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: just because they think they know me from TV. But

382
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: my my siblings do the same stuff, you know, and

383
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: I just take it. I take it. But you know,

384
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: when when I really need to, I give it back

385
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: to him, and they know I have the upper hand

386
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: on them. So like you know, when when you're me

387
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: and you know, what do I really what do I

388
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: really care? Let them have their fun pick on me

389
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: a little bit and I'll have some fun with it. Also,

390
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: you know, one of our producers sent me a note

391
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: just now, Joe, and he said, the North Jersey South

392
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: Jersey thing is real. The rivalry that is because everything

393
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: you're saying is bothering him in the back. So like

394
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: when you're talking about poor role and water, he's getting

395
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: his blood. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I wish. I don't

396
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: know a ton about it, but it's basically New York

397
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: and Philly. I mean, that's what Jersey is to me.

398
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: That's how I that's how I view it. It's Eagles fans,

399
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: and then and then it's you know, probably Giants and

400
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 1: Yankees fans, I guess. And then you have your you know,

401
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: your Jets fans on Long Island. I guess you have

402
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: a few Mets fans mixed in here here and there.

403
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: But it's New York and Philly. That's where we're living

404
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: in suburbs of both of those cities, So the rivalry

405
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: is for sure real. Yeah, that's for sure. Especially there's

406
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: of course Eagles Giants same division there. Yeah, there's Flyers, Rangers,

407
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: Phillies match. I mean that the list can go on

408
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: and on. Yes, you certainly can. You've experienced a lot

409
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. What stands out a former

410
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 1: Super Bowl m v. P Ton in five mark in

411
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: the postseason. You're playing with your third team right now.

412
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: I think your experience is going to be invaluable for

413
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. What is your interaction been like with him

414
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: on and off the field. And one of those lines

415
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: that you keep on talking about is it's important and

416
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: maintained confidence, not just for the signal callers, but this

417
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: entire team as you guys look to get over the hump. Yeah, listen,

418
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: I've enjoyed being here with Sam a bunch. I think

419
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: he's got a bunch of talent. I think he's an

420
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: awesome kid. I think he's a hard worker. He loves

421
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: this team. So you know, I hope that I have

422
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: and continue can continue to help him in whatever way possible. Um,

423
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: it's definitely been a good experience. I wish it could

424
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: have been a better experience as a team for us

425
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: up to this point. But um, you know, I have

426
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in a great relationship with him,

427
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: So I'm excited about you know, the upcoming couple of months.

428
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: You know, I have yet again another unrelated question, and

429
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: I'm very curious about this one. I found an article

430
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: online Joe that's thirty lesser known facts you probably didn't

431
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: know about Joe Flacco and number thirty. I'm very curious

432
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: if you've ever if you knew this, or if this

433
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: is real or not real, says I'm February nine, two

434
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: thousand seventeen, A survey by we are fanatics dot com,

435
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: which I verified as a real website, found that Joe

436
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: Flacco is the most attra active player in the NFL.

437
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: Yeah I remember seeing that. I mean that one was

438
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: hard to miss. Somebody was Everybody was making fun of

439
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: me for it and probably somewhat jealous about it. So yeah,

440
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: you know, who knows who was coming up with that stuff? Man? Uh,

441
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it didn't do anything for me. I

442
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: was already married at the time. It's not like I

443
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: was like, it's not like that helped my game out

444
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: all of a sudden. It boosted me up with all

445
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: the ladies, you know. So, uh, it was just one

446
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: of those things that I probably got made fun of from,

447
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, more so than anything. Did your wife stop

448
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: at all or she didn't think twice about it? She

449
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: probably was just like, oh, yeah, like his head needs

450
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: to be any bigger, you know. You know, she just

451
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: jumped in with everybody else. Got anything else yet, I

452
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: would just say they're back to the football side of things.

453
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: The vertical passing game that you guys established against the Patriots,

454
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: that that can continue down to stretch. How might that

455
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: change the way defenses have attacked this offense so far

456
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: this season. Yeah, I think it's really important. I really do.

457
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I think teams have been able to kind

458
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: of come up and press us and really try to

459
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: just choke us out. And I think the more that

460
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: we can get that going, the more it's gonna put

461
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: fear in some people. And the more that we're gonna

462
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: get you know, maybe maybe we'll start seeing a little

463
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: more zone, maybe a little bit easier completions and being

464
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: able to move the ball with a little bit less resistance.

465
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: But you know, uh, it's it's it's always good to

466
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: see guys being able to win vertically when they do

467
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: want to come up and challenge it because it allows

468
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: the possibility for big plays and and all of those things,

469
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: and it makes protection better. Um, so hopefully we can

470
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: keep everybody healthy and and keep everybody you know, doing

471
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: those those same kind of things. Awesome, Joe appreciate the time,

472
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: enjoying it all right, I appreciate it. Guys. We told

473
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: you it was a good interview with Joe Flacco. We'll

474
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: hear from Bart Scott momentarily. But Joe cool. He brought

475
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: the juice. He certainly did. I can't imagine being one

476
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: of six. That's gotta be pretty complicated for the parents

477
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: and tough inside the house, because if you have young

478
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: people all jumping around, um, you know, there can be

479
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people going in different directions. But Flacco

480
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: a very accomplished player and now professional. But his whole household,

481
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: if you go down the list of his siblings, everybody

482
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: did something. It's amazing, you know. I wish I had

483
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: asked this, but I don't know the age difference between

484
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: Joe and the youngest. But I would just imagine that

485
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: it would be a hectic, hectic household for Joe's parents,

486
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: and kudos to them. Six children and the A I

487
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: assume the age range is pretty pretty wide there anyway. Yeah. So,

488
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: but Flacco has got such an interesting history because he

489
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: started out at Pittsburgh and was the backup quarterback through

490
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: Tyler Paul call and he saw maybe the writing on

491
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: the wall there and transferred to Delaware and one of

492
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens chief scouts at the time was Jed's

493
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: GM Joe Douglas, and Joe Douglas liked what he saw

494
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: this kid out of Delaware, and eventually they drafted him

495
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: in the first round. He said, a hell of a career, Yeah,

496
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. It's funny the way life kind

497
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: of comes full circle in the NFL with Joe Douglas

498
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: being in Baltimore, now Joe Flacco being here and Joe

499
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: Douglas a big reason why he was drafted in Baltimore.

500
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: And then of course Joe Douglas's last draft with the

501
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: Ravenshot Perriman was the first round pick, and now Brashad

502
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: Perriman is here with Joe Flacco. I mean, there's a

503
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: lot of different lines, but that's why I'm excited, Like

504
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, And I'm jumping in here on your point

505
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: because as soon as you mentioned Perryman, I'm just thinking

506
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: about what the Jets offense showed against the Patriots. Yes,

507
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: just one game, but that final the Q and A

508
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: there at the end of the podcast that can change

509
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: things up. The more vertical success they had, and they

510
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: finally had the three dudes together in Jameson crowd Or

511
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: Brashad Perriman and Denzel Man. So we saw Perryman flourished

512
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: down the stretch last year in Tampa. Hopefully he can

513
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: do that again. Denzel mims his practice what lass than

514
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: fifteen times and non off foul and he continues to

515
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: go out there and take strides every week for you

516
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: mark him down for four receptions every week. And then

517
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: Flacco has been I mean, Crowder has been awesome at

518
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: the slot position when he's been on the field. So, uh,

519
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: this offense showed some promise with a Flacco slinging it.

520
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: But of course now the Jets want to see Sam

521
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: donald Beck in the lineup. We'll have to see monitor

522
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: his situation with the sore right shoulder, because if he

523
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: just can't go, you're in good hands with Joe Flacco.

524
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: You know Denzel Mims his first reception of that. Maybe

525
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't his first reception, but when the Jets settled

526
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: for a field goal on their first possession and Mims

527
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: almost broke loose between both of the mccordy twins, I

528
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 1: really thought that he had a chance to go. And

529
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: when you look at the replay, you see Jason mccordy

530
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: his leg catches Denzel mims cleat, which is probably what

531
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: prevented him from showing off that four three eight burner speed.

532
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: And just real quick, before we hear from Bart Scott,

533
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: I'm this is just a testament to how injured the

534
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: Jets have been this year. Do you know which wide

535
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: receiver has received the most snaps since the start of

536
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: the regular season for the New York Jets, Well, it's

537
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: none of the three players that I just talked about,

538
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: It is correct, none of them. It's not Vincent Smith.

539
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Brexton Burrios, You're close. It's Chris Hogan.

540
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: I was gonna go with either Burrios or and Hogan's

541
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: on injured reserve right now as we're recording this podcast.

542
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: He's eligible to return from the ankle injury. But that

543
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: right there, Chris Hogan, who's missed weeks six through nine,

544
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: is the guy that's leading the Jets receivers in terms

545
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: of playing time. So without further ado, let's now head

546
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: to Bart Scott for our Victor Knox Swiss Army Player

547
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: of the Game dounch On for r Vic Tornox Swiss

548
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: Army Player of the Game segment with Bart Scott. Bart

549
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 1: kick us off here Jets traveling out west to face

550
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers. Who you got for your matchup

551
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: to watch? Well? I think one of the most productive

552
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: tight ends in the game, of one of the most

553
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: underrated tight ends in the game. He's been healthy the

554
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: last couple of years. I'm gonna go with Hunter Henry

555
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: against Marcus May and Ashton Davis, whoever he matches up with.

556
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: He's going to be the matchup nightmare because he's so

557
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: able to control the middle of the field, the scenes,

558
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: the intermediate route, the short routes, and also he's going

559
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: to be the hot route at the Jets decide to

560
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: be aggressive and try heat up justin herbert Um, you know.

561
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be exciting because I think that we

562
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: can be able to maybe try to take Kenya Allen away,

563
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: who we can't double it and put our our past specialists,

564
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,479
Speaker 1: you know against its hunter Henry. You can't put two

565
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: on him. So that's gonna lead you know, one Dediti

566
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: one on one against Kenya Allen, which you don't want

567
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: to do, and Williams on the outside. So I feel

568
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: like it's gonna be a cover two shell and cover

569
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: two shells usually means tight ends up the rail. Hey Bart,

570
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 1: did you see rides from Ashton Davis in his second

571
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:06,959
Speaker 1: start obviously tough assignment and that first start against Patrick

572
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: Mahomes and company. I guess the Patriots he was used

573
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: a little bit differently, more so in the box and

574
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: a lot of times as a blitzer. Yeah. I mean

575
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: you saw him with the big hit against Cam Newton.

576
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: But I think the game kind of slowed down for him.

577
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: You can think that, you know, somebody looks fast, don't

578
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: look fast on film when you actually step on the field.

579
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: It's a difference between you know, film speed and actual

580
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: football speed. And I think he recognized that, you know,

581
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: he had to be faster, that he couldn't hesitate that,

582
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: you you know, angles changed fast on the field. I

583
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: think he showed what he learned from the Kansas City

584
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: game in the following week against the Patriots. I thought

585
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: he was physical. I thought he was decisive, and that's

586
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: what he's gonna have to be. You can't be thinking

587
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: because if you think about it, you've already missed. What

588
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: about your matchup to watch? I'm going to the other

589
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: side of the ball. We finally saw the three dudes

590
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: in action at the same time, and Denzel Mims, Brashott

591
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: Perriman and Jameson Crowder. They had eleven receptions against the

592
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: Patriots and three touch downs. Joe Flacco was the quarterback.

593
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: He connected on his passes, displaying great accuracy on the

594
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: long ball. I think the Jets have opportunities to make

595
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: some in rows against this Chargers secondary. When you look

596
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: at the cornerback position, Casey Hayward has struggled at times.

597
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: They have Michael Davis as well. Maybe Chris Harris is

598
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: back in the lineup, But I think those three guys

599
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: can get some things happening. And I really liked what

600
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: I saw Joe Flacco last week. Yeah, I don't think

601
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: that there's a Jets fan in the world that wasn't

602
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: happy to see James and Crowder, Brashade Peerman and Denzel

603
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: MIM's on the field at the same time. For my

604
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: matchup to watch, I'm going to the Jets offensive line.

605
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: McKay Beckton Adam Gates said, should be good to go

606
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: after a weird chess injury Monday night, and he'll be

607
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: facing up either against Melvin Ingram or Joey Bosa if

608
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: he's healthy at times, and those two guys line up

609
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: either well, those two guys, Melvin Ingram typically against McKay

610
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: beck and you'd probably assuming Joey Bosa against George Fans.

611
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,479
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be interesting to see. Part I'm curious

612
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: to know what makes you think or and from your perspective,

613
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,760
