<v Speaker 1>Monday night football jets in the desert trying to find

<v Speaker 1>some water in Arizona after a three game losing streak.

0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 1>What does it mean part for a player to play

0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:29.200
<v Speaker 1>on Monday Night, Because it's a lot different than when

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:33.040
<v Speaker 1>we were growing up, when Monday night was the deal.

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>You had to be home to be watching Monday night football.

<v Speaker 1>opportunity for you to introduce yourself to the world, to

<v Speaker 1>the masses. Because now you don't have to worry about

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:51.839
<v Speaker 1>people in Dallas tune into the Dallas game. You have

0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>to worry about people in San Francisco playing to to

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 1>the San Francisco game. Everybody's watching your game. You have

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 1>everybody's fan base, and you have an opportunity can name

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:02.520
<v Speaker 1>for yourself. We always say you make your name in

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>a regular season you make your fame in the postseason. Well,

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.119
<v Speaker 1>this is kind of a special day because you can

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 1>make your name and your fame on Monday Night football,

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 1>and you look forward to that. You look for an

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to say this is who I am, this is

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>how I play, I'm coming watch me. I'm worth the

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:23.120
<v Speaker 1>price of admission Monday nights. When Bart Scott was in

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>New York, Jet used to have the fellas over for

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.399
<v Speaker 1>a big party. You guys get together, you watch the game,

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>and then you take care of the fellas afterwards. But

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 1>it is the game that the pros still watch Monday

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 1>night absolutely because you know, you're evaluating your peers. You're

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>you're preparing yourself to your peers. So you know, that's

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 1>why the game is so important, because it's not for

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>You're not paying paying for the You're not playing for

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the fans, so to speak. You're playing to show your

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>peers who you are. You know, most football players don't

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 1>really care about being fan favorites. They want to be

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>respected by their peers. So when football players talk nearly

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.040
<v Speaker 1>man that do bad, you won't respect for people. To

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>understand the craft, to understand the business, understand the defense,

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>understand the offense understand that what's trying to get done,

0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.680
<v Speaker 1>so they can say you rather you rather a football

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 1>player to say you're a batman than a fan say

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 1>because he may or may not really understand what makes

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 1>you a bad man, what makes you a great player,

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 1>what makes you unique, what makes you special? And Monday

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.639
<v Speaker 1>night football, the lives are the brightest. It's the brightest baby,

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:23.240
<v Speaker 1>and that's what you want to show up. You are

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 1>a national brand. You are on the NFL today, you

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 1>are part of Merrill Lynches financial literacy. They don't take

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 1>my money away, Morgan Stanley, Morgan Stanley, Oh my god,

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Merrill Lynch, I think sponsors one of our shows. You know,

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 1>all the sponsors run together. So Morgan Stanley, I'm not

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>taking your money away. They just took a day's councel

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 1>to check. So you are all over the place. Do

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:54.680
<v Speaker 1>you think your brand as a player was enhanced by

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>what happened one day night football Baltimore Ravens, New England Patriots.

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 1>The way you competed at all, So it was really

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 1>the first time the nation saw your personality, correct, don't

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 1>you think? Well, that's what the first time they got

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:12.919
<v Speaker 1>introduced to my crazy because everybody was watching. You know, Uh,

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>what really put me on the scene, We put me

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>on the scene. It first of my career was to

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 1>hit on Ben Roethlisberger. But after that, right right, that

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.640
<v Speaker 1>was that was the dream shot. But what put me

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>on the scene on the national level, I believe was

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 1>me throwing the flag in the stands on Monday night football.

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 1>They're like, who is this crazy nut? Just do as

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:34.519
<v Speaker 1>a psycho like, but he's interesting to watch, He's passionate. Um,

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>and it came at a frustrating time in the game. Um,

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:39.640
<v Speaker 1>but I was trying to stand up for my guys

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>because I felt like, you know, um, we were handed

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the short end the stake that you know, all odds

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>were against us. And you know, I believe that the

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>NFL wanted the Patriots to win. Uh strictly so you know,

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>not because I believe that the NFL carris who wins

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 1>the losers, but I think monetarily, you know, it was

0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 1>beneficial for them to for the Patriots to win because

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 1>at that point, the Patriots we're approaching history, and um,

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 1>it was money to be made if they could sell

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 1>the game, and they did, they sold it to they

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 1>It was syndicated. They you know, it was simulcast on

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>NFL network, UM, CBS, NBC, ABC because everybody wanted to

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.800
<v Speaker 1>see if the team could go undefeated like the Miami Dolphins,

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>So the NFL one that way. But you know, it

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 1>was just a series of events that really frustrated us,

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 1>uh me and particularly but us as a team. You

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 1>talk about, we're winning, first time our team is healthy

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>all year. Uh we're not going to the playoffs, but

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:38.720
<v Speaker 1>first time that our unit is back. It was an

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 1>important game for us to kind of show everybody who

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>we were that, yeah, we may have underachieved, but we're injured,

0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 1>but we're back together. This is the look of things

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 1>to come, you know the next year. And well, I

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 1>was standing defensive performance. It's a team that was lightening

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 1>off the scoreboard every week right right just when they

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.919
<v Speaker 1>had mass everybody and you know, we we put on

0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 1>the show. And it came down to the to the

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 1>last drive and they gave him four four penalties on

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:09.560
<v Speaker 1>fourth down that continued their drive until finally they got

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>um the touchdown that they needed and you know, and

0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.040
<v Speaker 1>it just boiled over and you know, since then the

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 1>next game, UM, the referee who was there got suspended

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>for three games, which nobody talks about. I got fined

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty five grand, which at that time was a hell

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of money. Uh you know, equivalent to

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 1>today that would have been a semi five thousand out

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 1>of five. But it was funny because when they called me,

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.719
<v Speaker 1>uh the they said it was unpresident because they never

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.600
<v Speaker 1>seen anybody throw referees flag in the stand, so they

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 1>had nothing to to really leverage against. But I had

0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.960
<v Speaker 1>never really got in trouble on the field off the field,

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 1>so they kept it at five. I think Warren sapped

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:53.279
<v Speaker 1>like slam Chester Taylor the next week and he got

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.000
<v Speaker 1>fired semi five thousand. So you know it was because

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I was a good outstanding citizen before that. You know,

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I didn't you know, how to pay more money, and

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Brian Bella had your back. Oh yeah, Brian big help

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 1>me down, you know. UM asked what did he say

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 1>to me, Um when when I threw the flag coming

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:11.360
<v Speaker 1>to the sideline, He said, you know what the exacuate.

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 1>He told me that he wished he would have been

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:14.800
<v Speaker 1>close enough to the flags he would have threw that

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and stands two of the BS Eric Dockers on injury reserve.

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.919
<v Speaker 1>How would that impact the jetson? How does that impact

0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 1>uh the offense and moving forward? Well, moving forward, I

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 1>think it's good to have clarity. It's good to understand

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 1>what you're going to to to the game with. I

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>think it really frees things up for a new while

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.159
<v Speaker 1>who I'm sure was always in limbo every week figuring

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 1>out who he was going to play, what position he

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 1>was playing. And also unless Safari and Jenkins be able

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.240
<v Speaker 1>to really move in and understand what his package is

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.160
<v Speaker 1>going to be, UM, I think maybe they're they're gonna

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 1>have to maybe go with some two lines, two running

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:54.120
<v Speaker 1>back type of sess I would um, and get your

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 1>best players on the field. You can't ask too much

0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 1>of Safferian Jenkins one. You don't know what type of

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.160
<v Speaker 1>football shapes he's in, and so you want to you

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 1>want to bring him along slowly because you last thing

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 1>he wanted for him to get a hamstring or something

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>like that. You know, But I think you have to

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.160
<v Speaker 1>put bal Paul and Matt fourteen to fill at the

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 1>same time and try and see how defenses match up

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.000
<v Speaker 1>with it, and then take advantage of your best players. Yeah,

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 1>he's the Cardinals are in the league against the run.

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I know you can't get caught up too much in statistics,

0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 1>but on the surface, this is a pressure oriented defense.

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 1>They got Chandler Jones former Patriots, twelve sex last year.

0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I think he's got four sex this year. Marcus Golden,

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:34.280
<v Speaker 1>not a household name, but he's giving a household production.

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 1>He's got six sacks in the year. And then Klass Campbell,

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 1>a guy who probably doesn't get the recognition he deserves

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>on the East Coast. Massive guy, massive got six eight

0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe a two time pro bowler, fifteen and a half

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.679
<v Speaker 1>career sex from the interior. But I forget, I forget,

0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, they gave him big money, and I forget

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.720
<v Speaker 1>who the safety is that they moved to linebacker. But

0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>they do well. Dion Buchanan. Yeah, they do a great

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.240
<v Speaker 1>job in blitching him, and he's able to match up.

0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, it won't be foreign for him to match

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.280
<v Speaker 1>up with the Farren Jenkins because he's a former safety,

0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 1>so he should be big enough and strong enough and

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 1>fast enough to keep up with them, you know. So

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's where it's usually an advantage because you

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.880
<v Speaker 1>can match him up against say a linebacker, you know,

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe a little a little different this week. You

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 1>can't really thrive under Todd Bowles when he broke into

0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 1>the league coming out of Washington State. That's that's that's

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>another plus because you really understand Todd Bowls should have

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.440
<v Speaker 1>the pulse of this team. He's familiar with what they

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 1>like to do, what they can't do. So do you

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.240
<v Speaker 1>think he's jumping in with Jane Gaily even more than

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.080
<v Speaker 1>he normally would. I think he should have a lot

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 1>of input because he knows that system. He knows what

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 1>they're doing, how they adjust to certain routes, how they

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:50.160
<v Speaker 1>adjust a certain formations, how they adjust a certain personnels,

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and also they understand that as well. So that's the

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.400
<v Speaker 1>chess match, right, You know, you have to make sure

0:08:55.520 --> 0:09:01.080
<v Speaker 1>that um they they that they use their knowledge of

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.719
<v Speaker 1>his system and it's a detriment to them because you

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>use that knowledge against them and they'll be trying to

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:07.719
<v Speaker 1>do the thing and think at the same side. That's

0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.960
<v Speaker 1>what makes it football so great. It's the battle of

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:12.240
<v Speaker 1>the of the minds. It's a chess match. Is this

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 1>offense changing in Arizona though, Well, it's been known as

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.439
<v Speaker 1>a vertical passing attack, and I'm not saying they're totally

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 1>getting away from that because he's still can max protect

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:25.360
<v Speaker 1>at times. But you love David Johnson. Well, David Johnson

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 1>is the second best running back in the game. He's big,

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 1>he's fast, he's explosive, he has a chip on the shoulder.

0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.400
<v Speaker 1>He's a D one double a guy. He's the best

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>catcher of the football out of all the running backs.

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 1>He's as natural hands, soft hands. And what you usually

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 1>get out of a running back is maybe a slant,

0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.800
<v Speaker 1>maybe an out route, or maybe a bubble screen. They

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.840
<v Speaker 1>will they will throw him vertical routes lined up as

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.160
<v Speaker 1>a receiver, and it doesn't matter if it's a safety

0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.680
<v Speaker 1>out there, it doesn't matter if it's a corner out there.

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>He will get the ball. And when he gets the ball,

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.520
<v Speaker 1>he will run past anybody you were in the locker

0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.840
<v Speaker 1>room before during win streaks and losing streaks. Right now,

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 1>the Jets have lost three games in a row. A

0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.199
<v Speaker 1>lot of pressure, a lot of negative noise on the outside.

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.800
<v Speaker 1>How do you as a player handle that when you

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:15.600
<v Speaker 1>insulate yourself from things externally and how difficult is that? Well?

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.080
<v Speaker 1>What you what you said it right? You insulate yourself.

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 1>You you you you, you cut out all the white

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.360
<v Speaker 1>noise and you focus on what's important. What's important is

0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the next game and getting the win. You know, you

0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 1>get a win here, you get you get two to

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 1>two together. Now those those narratives start to change, and

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 1>you have to just make sure that you don't get

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.680
<v Speaker 1>too high when that changes too. Because they loved you

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.839
<v Speaker 1>when you beat Buffalo. Everything was great, everybody was great,

0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.080
<v Speaker 1>and of course you stink win when you lose to

0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.200
<v Speaker 1>to all the other teams, no matter how good other

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.400
<v Speaker 1>people may perceive them to be. So you just want

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 1>to get a victory. So you're you're hurried. You're going

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:50.920
<v Speaker 1>to sleep early because you're hoping that the next day

0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:52.480
<v Speaker 1>will come so you can hurry up and get to

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.840
<v Speaker 1>the football game. You think this is a better matchup

0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 1>for the Jets overall. You're not saying whether they're gonna

0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 1>win or lose, but you think it's a better matchup

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 1>paper than Pittsburgh. I think this is a better matchup

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.520
<v Speaker 1>because you know the quarterback isn't Ben Roethlisburg. He's he's

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:07.560
<v Speaker 1>good and they have tremendous record, but he's coming off

0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 1>a concussion um if he even plays, if not, they

0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 1>may get Drew Stanton, which is definitely a better matchup

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.600
<v Speaker 1>because it limits the offense and he's mistake prone, he'll

0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.560
<v Speaker 1>he'll give the game away. So, um, you know, I

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:22.200
<v Speaker 1>think they have their better matchup against this offensive line

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.800
<v Speaker 1>that's banged up, and um, you know, they just have

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:28.559
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that they can contain David Johnson. David

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Johnson and you offensively would like to see a little

0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:35.440
<v Speaker 1>bit more Forte and Paul and those their guys that

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.319
<v Speaker 1>those are gods you can count on, you can trust

0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 1>on them. You know. Then you can put him on

0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:40.360
<v Speaker 1>the field at the same time because they both have

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.160
<v Speaker 1>receiver skills right right, so you can break the formation

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:44.960
<v Speaker 1>no different if you have two great tight ends, you

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.720
<v Speaker 1>put both tight ends out there and you split your

0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.679
<v Speaker 1>matchups because it'll be interest is interesting to see how

0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:54.240
<v Speaker 1>they match up. How do you think Bowls does attack

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 1>this Arizona offense? Last week we saw a lot of

0:11:57.720 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 1>coverage in the back trying to get there with the

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 1>the front uh four. Obviously Ben was in the shotgun

0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:08.719
<v Speaker 1>almost entirely the whole game, so you're operating out of

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 1>an advantage there. Well, Arizona try to do the same

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 1>thing well, well, Carson. Carson is like a deer stuck

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.000
<v Speaker 1>in the headlights. You know exactly where he's going to be.

0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:19.400
<v Speaker 1>He's not the fleet of foot, He's not the guy

0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.400
<v Speaker 1>who's gonna extend plays like Ben Roethlisberg. He's not gonna

0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 1>be squatting defenders down and still delivering the ball. So

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.520
<v Speaker 1>they like to take deep shots, so it's gonna give

0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:31.000
<v Speaker 1>you more time to really get to the passer, you know.

0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 1>And they don't have a great line. They don't have

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:34.920
<v Speaker 1>a great line at all, so they may have to

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.319
<v Speaker 1>keep David Johnson in and make him chip out, which

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 1>is advantage to you. They have Gressham, But anytime you

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.959
<v Speaker 1>have a tight end against one of your premier pass rus,

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.839
<v Speaker 1>should you expect that pass rus should have win defensively.

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 1>And I've been asked this, and I was asked us

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:53.400
<v Speaker 1>on Twitter because we're taking some fans questions, is what

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.960
<v Speaker 1>do you think Todd Bowls and Casey Rodgers has to

0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:03.560
<v Speaker 1>do with this unit? Because I've always been of My

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 1>thought process has always been, hey, listen and you talk

0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.080
<v Speaker 1>the same way. Players gotta make plays and at the

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.720
<v Speaker 1>same but at the same time, what would you like

0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:13.840
<v Speaker 1>to see them do defensive. Well, when it gets down

0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 1>to this, you gotta strip down and go to the basics,

0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:18.280
<v Speaker 1>right listen. I'd rather you guys not do too much

0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 1>thinking and be able to play fast, and you guys

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 1>trying to have too much of the playbook. Maybe I

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.080
<v Speaker 1>have to scale it back a bit and you know,

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 1>go more conservative and trust my guys to win up top,

0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:29.319
<v Speaker 1>because at the end of the day, the game is

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:32.439
<v Speaker 1>about matchups. You have to win your your individual matchups,

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and that's what's not been happening. You know, maybe ten

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.120
<v Speaker 1>guys win they match up on one play, but one

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 1>guy lets down, you know, So you got to go

0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 1>back to the basics, and everybody has to pull their

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.960
<v Speaker 1>own weight. Everybody has to stay within themselves and not

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 1>try and be some superhero and do everybody's job. Because

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:48.880
<v Speaker 1>when you're trying to do somebody else's job, who's doing yours.

0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:52.200
<v Speaker 1>So they have to just calm down and get it

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.000
<v Speaker 1>together and work it out. You gotta read on the

0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.319
<v Speaker 1>league right now. Well you have you've been impressed with

0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the Atlanta last couple of weeks. Yeah, I picked the

0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:01.319
<v Speaker 1>line I actually do. Yeah, absolutely, because this isn't the

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.160
<v Speaker 1>same old line of Falcons just defensively, they're still struggle.

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.120
<v Speaker 1>But you know last year, you know Freman snapped off,

0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.440
<v Speaker 1>but he got tired. They overused him. You know, he

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 1>was like the fantasy, you know wonder. But now Coleman

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.480
<v Speaker 1>is that other big back. So what you saw, everybody

0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.080
<v Speaker 1>wants to try and get Julio. But now Julio has backup.

0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Last year, Rannie White wasn't a sufficient backup. He wasn't

0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>a sufficient um batman and robbing type of combination. Mohammed

0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 1>so knew the reason that Cincinnati's struggling because Mohammed sannew

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 1>and Marvin Jones isn't there. So now you've got another

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 1>big man there that can make you pay if you

0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 1>decided to take Julio Jones away. Yeah, Julio Jones at

0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.640
<v Speaker 1>three hundred yards a year the week before, but last

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.080
<v Speaker 1>week he didn't have a good game. But everybody else

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.640
<v Speaker 1>did you know Coleman receiving out of the backfield, those

0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.640
<v Speaker 1>dual threat um type of running backs, framing going crazy

0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:51.400
<v Speaker 1>crazy exactly. So now they have versatility, Now they have depth,

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.040
<v Speaker 1>and they really I think physically took it to Denver

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 1>because Denver wasn't prepared at the linebacker position to come

0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 1>fill those gaps and to cover those guys man and man.

0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Man's so the only undefeated team you're surprised of sitting

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:03.960
<v Speaker 1>there at five and a no. That's that's the reason

0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I got on an airplane and flew out the Minnesota

0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:10.080
<v Speaker 1>last week. That those guys are humbled. Those guys Zimmer

0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.480
<v Speaker 1>got them, you know, their their mind and in the

0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:14.560
<v Speaker 1>right frame of mind. You talked about losing your best,

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe the best running back of all time,

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 1>losing your starting quarterback and losing your left tackle. And

0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.360
<v Speaker 1>they didn't blink and they say, woa me. They just

0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 1>got together. And what happens whenever you have adversity early

0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.440
<v Speaker 1>and you live through it, it makes you a better

0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.400
<v Speaker 1>team because now everybody's on board, Guys that may have

0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.520
<v Speaker 1>just been leaning on watching Adrian Peterson run the ball,

0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 1>everybody stepping up and trying to do their parts, and

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:36.560
<v Speaker 1>now you have a more complete team. So that's exactly

0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:39.040
<v Speaker 1>what Brandon Marshall said in the locker room the other day,

0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:43.760
<v Speaker 1>is that the failure after failure comes growth, and right

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:47.280
<v Speaker 1>now the Jets are facing a lot of adversity, and

0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Brandon thinks that they had a good week of practice

0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:53.480
<v Speaker 1>and even though the score and running that ball, they

0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.400
<v Speaker 1>did a lot of good things. So if the Jets

0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 1>can get through this and maybe get a win this

0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 1>week in Arizona, can we say good good things on

0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.800
<v Speaker 1>the horizon? Yeah. Moment Momentum is a crazy thing. You

0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:05.440
<v Speaker 1>can swing one way in the next and now it

0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:07.720
<v Speaker 1>was swinging your way early. Now is not how do

0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:09.080
<v Speaker 1>you get it back? You get it back and you

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:10.560
<v Speaker 1>hold it, you capture you're trying to put it in

0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 1>the bottle and you just spand on it. I thought

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:19.000
<v Speaker 1>about it. That's it. Bart Scott a podcast. Next Y
