Speaker 1: Welcome to Inside the Jets. Were broadcasting live from Vanderbilt

7
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: Sports and Spirits inside the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel. Eric

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: Allen joined alongside by my partner. We have found Eric

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: coleman E. Thanks for showing up tonight back like I

10
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: left something. Yeah, we missed you a couple of weeks ago.

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: Later on, during this episode of Inside the Jets will

12
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: be joined by Jets inside linebacker Neville Hewitt, who's had

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: a really fine start to this season, but overall for

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: the Green and White, a tough first quarter four games

15
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: through still one less. Yeah, it's been a unfortunate a

16
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: series of unfortunate events for the Jets, you know, having

17
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: the injuries that the injuries have decimated them, but the

18
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: play hasn't been there, you know, I don't think it's

19
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: been up to the expectations of the players or the organization.

20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: So they got some things to clean up, but there

21
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: is relief coming a couple of guys coming off suspension.

22
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: Hopefully Sam Donald comes back, and hopefully we'll get C.

23
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: JM B back in that connection, so that will be

24
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: a great jump for this team. That was the news

25
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: out of one Jets Drive today. Sam Donald, of course,

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: took first team reps Wednesday and Thursday last week. The

27
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: Jets hoped that he could have got in the lineup

28
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: against the Philadelphia Eagles, unfortunately ruled out. Thursday night, Luke

29
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: Falk made the start. The Jets went down to Philadelphia

30
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: and took a loss thirty one to six. Today, Adam

31
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: Gates announced that Sam Donald will indeed get tests Tuesday,

32
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: so we should know by the end of the day

33
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: tomorrow whether Donald will make his second start of two

34
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen. Yeah, I mean, and that would be a

35
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: big relief, not only for his physical presence, you know,

36
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: throwing the football accurately on time, but just his presence

37
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: as a leader. You know, he's the leader of this team,

38
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: and he's established himself as the leader, you know, from

39
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: last season, going through the off season and to the

40
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: start of this season. So it'll be big for the

41
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: confidence of the team just having your your guy out

42
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: there leading the troops. I would make the argument that

43
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: most teams would be in the same boat the Jets

44
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: find themselves in right now. You lose your quarterback after

45
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: week one where he felt like he said, he didn't

46
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: feel like himself. He missed some plays out there in

47
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: the field. With that being said, he's still completed one passes.

48
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: Then he's diagnosed with model. He misses games two through four.

49
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: During that game against the Buffalo Bills, that opener, you

50
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: goun a double digit lead. C J. Mosley had a

51
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 1: pick s in a fumble recovery. He went out with

52
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: the groin injury. You lost your quarterback at the defense.

53
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: Those are two guys that you just can't replace. Yeah,

54
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: I mean we're not sitting here making excuses for the team. Uh,

55
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: that's just reality. That's reality. I mean, you lose your

56
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: starting quarterback, you lose your backup quarterback, and then you

57
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: lose some some key components on your team. These are

58
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: guys who you paid a lot of money to. Uh.

59
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: You you invested draft picks to to beat leaders or

60
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: your team, to be playmakers for your team that you

61
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: had counted on that that aren't here right now. So

62
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna leave a big void for the team to fill.

63
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: And unfortunately for the Jets, they play some tough teams

64
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: and haven't been able to come up with the win

65
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: in the first four games. And you just mentioned it before.

66
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: Maybe the Jets will get a pair back from suspension

67
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: this week in Chris Herndon, a tight end who developed

68
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: a great rapport and connection with Sam Donald when they

69
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: were both rookies in two thousand and eighteen. And Brandon Copeland,

70
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: a guy who was slated to be one of your

71
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: outside start an outside linebackers when the season begin. Yeah,

72
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: Brandon Copeland is a guy who had an excellent preseason.

73
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: You know, he brings a spark, you know, off that edge.

74
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: He you know, he's he's not the John Abraham, but

75
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: he's physical. He does a great job against the run.

76
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: He can get after the quarterback. Uh. And then you

77
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: look at um, you look at Herndon, who's a speedy

78
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: tight end, and look at the lack of production that

79
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: we've had from that position since he's since he hasn't

80
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: been in. Yeah, and I think Ryan Griffin has done

81
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: a good job, great job. He's done a great job

82
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: as a blocker, and he'll continue to do a good job.

83
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: But Herndon brings such a different, uh, just a different

84
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: aspect of the game, uh to that offense. You know,

85
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: he can spread the field vertically down the field. He's

86
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: a mismatch for any safety or a linebacker who covers

87
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: him and opens it up for the other receivers. So

88
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: hopefully his presence will help spark the offense. Well, let's

89
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: talk about that right now. If the Jets do indeed

90
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: get Sam Darnold back in the lineup and Chris Herndon

91
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: against the Dallas Cowboys Sunday, and we're gonna talk about

92
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: that matchup later on here tonight as you're listening to

93
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: Inside the Jets on ESPN Radio and watching on New

94
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: York Jets dot Com and the Jets app right now,

95
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: how does that change things for defenses when they got

96
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: to match up with the Jets in terms of what's

97
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 1: happening on the middle of the field. In the middle

98
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: of the field, because the Jets gotta boost Sunday, the

99
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: Marrius Thomas got back in the lineup, so that shifted

100
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder back inside to the slot. But now if

101
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: you add Herndon into the mix. What does it do

102
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: to opposing defenses that, no, not only is Herndon, not

103
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: only is crowd or a threat over the middle, but

104
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: now you got Herndon as well well. It makes it tough.

105
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: You know, when you when you have your personnel matchups,

106
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: you always want to match up the linebackers in secondary

107
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: to the to the personnel of the offense. And with

108
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: Herndon out there, he's a guy who can go inside

109
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: and block, so you know, you can't bring an extra

110
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: dB to cover him, so you have to keep a

111
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: linebacker out there. And when you do have that linebacker

112
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: out there, you can split Herndon, put him out there

113
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: on the island where he's very uncomfortable, and maybe convert

114
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: a third down and four, maybe just convert some mismatch

115
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: plays to keep the drive going and and help your

116
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: offense continue those drives. What possibly could he also do

117
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: for Bell Herndon's reinsertion into the lineup, but also Donald

118
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: coming back there, because I know the Jets have had

119
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: struggles in protection so far this season. We know that,

120
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: but Donald's a guy can make plays with his feet

121
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: and when chaos is happening around him, we've seen him

122
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: escape that pocket keep his eyes down the field. Yeah,

123
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he does an excellent job of throwing the

124
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: ball on the run, breaking and wants to play breakdowns

125
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: he can extend it. But also just having that confidence

126
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: of being that starting quarterback understanding who's gonna be open.

127
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: You know, the main thing about a quarterback is anticipation,

128
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: and when you have a young quarterback in there who

129
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: hasn't seen, hasn't had the reps, hasn't been in there

130
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: against number one defense, is it's hard for him to

131
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: trust what he sees. And I think that's what you

132
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: saw in times with Luke Falk. He's holding the football

133
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: a little extra and that extra second is the is

134
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: the world to a pass rush, to an offensive lineman

135
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: having a block. So I think Sam getting the ball

136
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: out quick, being assertive with it, extending plays when it

137
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: breaks down will help the offense quite a bit. And

138
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna help Levan Bell, who just has

139
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: not had enough space out there. He is doing a

140
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: tremendous job of producing yards after a contact, but you

141
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: only can ask a guy to do so much. Yeah,

142
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he he's out there fighting every play, fighting

143
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: for every yard, and you know you just have to

144
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: commend a guy who's given that effort. And you know

145
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: it's tough because defenses are are inching, their safety is

146
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: in closer. I know, if I'm playing safety against Levian Bell,

147
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: against the third string quarterback, I'm gonna be lining up

148
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: at instead of twelve yards, I'm lining up at nine,

149
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna just gonna exactly. I dare you to

150
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: throw it deep, and if you beat the strowing it deep,

151
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: then we'll take that. But we're not gonna let do

152
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: your best player on your team beat us. And that's

153
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: what teams are doing. They're trying to take away Levy

154
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: on Bill, no matter if it's in the run game

155
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: of the past game, and making other players beat them.

156
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: Inside the Jets is supported by M ANDT Bank, the

157
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: official community bank of your New York Jets. Eric Allen

158
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: here alongside Eric Coleman. We're gonna be joined by Jets

159
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: linebacker Neville Hewitt. In our second segment Um the Jets Today.

160
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams was on a conference call and said we

161
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: had a players only meeting, and guys got up there

162
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: and discussed that we're not pointing fingers at each other.

163
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: Right now, here's a moment, a key moment I think

164
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: for this team early in the season, because there's still

165
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: three quarters of the season left in two thousand nineteen.

166
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: This season, it's a marathon. They gotta stay together, they

167
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: gotta stick together. And I like the message that we

168
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: heard from the guys today. Yeah, I think that's important

169
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: for uh, you know, the veterans of the team to

170
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: bring in the players have a players only meeting with

171
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: no coaching uh no, you know, not having to worry

172
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: about what someone's gonna think about you. Let get the

173
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: issues off your chest. You know. I'm sure it probably

174
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: got heated at times. Yes, it was a positive meeting,

175
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: but there are probably some things that guys are frustrated

176
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: about and you can get that off your chest with

177
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: your teammate. And I think that's very important to open

178
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: those lines at communication. Let everyone know that we're in

179
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: this together. You know, we may not be winning right now,

180
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: but if we stick together as a unit, we're gonna

181
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: be so much more dangerous than if we start pointing

182
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: fingers at guys, because ultimately, you know, we win and

183
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: lose as a team. And about forty five seconds here,

184
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: how frustrating it can it be for defender right now,

185
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: when you know your offense, it's so difficult for them

186
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: to move the football because they're not even sustaining drives,

187
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: not all the third downs. It's three and out. It's tough,

188
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, it is very frustrating as a defense when

189
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: you do your job, you get a three and out,

190
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: you go sit down and grab your gatorade and can't

191
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 1: even finish the cup. Because the punt team has to

192
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: go back out there. Uh. You know, it can get frustrating.

193
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: But as a defense, you have so much to worry

194
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: about in your own mind, so many assignments that you

195
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: have to handle, that it's hard for you to focus

196
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: on that, you know, during the game. All right, we're

197
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: gonna come right back with just linebacker Neville Hewitt. You're

198

207

Speaker 1: York Jets. Let's bring in now and unlikely big time

208
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: contributor for the New York Jets in two thousand nineteen.

209
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: Linebacker for you, Itt, Thanks for having me. How you doing, man,

210
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm good. No, but we just heard uh a pick

211
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: six from Jamal Anams actually against the New England Patriots.

212
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: But you guys were down in Philadelphia yesterday. I thought

213
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: the defense gave this team an opportunity to win the game.

214
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: This was a Philadelphia Eagles team that, at average twenty

215
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: seven and a half points per contest. The defense held

216
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: them the seventeen points. Also an Eagles team that led

217
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: the National Football League in terms of third down efficiency

218
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: fifty six point one percent. After allowing those three third

219
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: down conversions, I believe there were two other next ten.

220
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: When you guys went back to one Jets drive today,

221
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: what did the film reveal? Um? We just cleaned up

222
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: the little things. Um we know the defense we've been

223
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: playing well, and um we just really all year, our

224
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: our plan has deen and just clean up the little

225
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: things and will we could be even better than we look.

226
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: And each week is is just little details here and there,

227
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: you know, somebody hopping out of a gap or something

228
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: like that, or me not doing something I was supposed

229
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: to do, you know, so and and some of the

230
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: mistakes is my fault, you know. But um, it's just

231
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: a lot of things. It's just really little things that

232
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: we can clean up on defense and and it's going

233
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: to get clean and um, we're gonna be even better.

234
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: So so never I want to go back to the

235
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: beginning of the season. Obviously, you prepared yourself to be

236
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: the starting linebacker. You know, that's something that's an opportunity

237
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: that we all you know, wait for. But Avery Williamson

238
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: goes down, then you're like, Okay, it's gonna be c J.

239
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: And I he's a veteran, he's been doing it at

240
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: a high level for a long time. And then c

241
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: J goes down. How did that transformation? How did that

242
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: transform your responsibility as a linebacker from being a guy

243
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: next to c J to being like d Man calling

244
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: the plays, running the show. Yeah, I think our coaching

245
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: staff did a really good job on the preseason. When um,

246
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: they started moving some guys around and making us learn

247
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: UM two to three different positions, and I end up

248
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: having to play it in a few games. One in

249
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: Atlanta during the preseason. UM played played it against the

250
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: Giants in the preseason. So when the CJ went down,

251
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: all know how to do was know that I was

252
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: the MIC and I was able to go into that position.

253
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: And it's just you know, any position, if you're not

254
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: practicing it, you're not going to be as good until

255
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: you start getting more reps. So every game I've I've

256
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: gotten better and I'm getting more comfortable at it. What

257
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: do you think about the run fits you guys all

258
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles, I think to less than three yards per carry.

259
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: You were all over the field, leading the team in

260
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: terms of tackles with ten. Yeah. I think they shot

261
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: me a few. Yeah yeah, yeah. Uh. You gotta get

262
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: up and celebrate after every tackle, so they give you

263
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: the credit, that's what they say. So what do you

264
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: what do you think about the way you would handle

265
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: the run game, because this is an Eagles team that

266
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: rushed for nearly two hundred yards against the Packers. Yeah,

267
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: I think we we take pride in and stopping the

268
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: on and any good defense, You know, you have to

269
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: stop to run and make um make a team one

270
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: dimensions and forced them to throw the ball. And I

271
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: think that's something we we probably ourselves on and each

272
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: week that's our goal. We're gonna try to stop you

273
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: from winding the ball and you're going We're gonna see

274
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: what you get with your quarterback and do what do

275
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: you think about the way you guys respond And you

276
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: took that early punch again like you did in New England,

277
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: But the Patriots scored on three consecutive drives to start

278
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: the game. You started up bleeding, you stopped the bleeding

279
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: after giving up the initial touchdown. You settled down for

280
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: the rest of the first half until right it then Yeah,

281
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: I think, Um, one thing we're starting to continue to

282
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: work on is it's starting off fast and once we um,

283
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: once we we figured that out, how we can once

284
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: the defense come out in that first series, you know,

285
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: calm down and and and get back to our fundamentals

286
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: and get off the field that first drive, it's gonna

287
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: be hard, really hard to score on us. So when

288
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: you when you guys go back in the film room

289
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: or the defensive meeting room, Uh, is it a situation

290
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: where you have your third string quarter back in Are

291
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: you talking to yourselves like, listen, we need everybody to

292
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: be on point this week because we have a guy

293
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: in here who hasn't done it. Uh, you know, we're

294
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: probably gonna have to play a lot better than we

295
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: will normally play. Is there a lot of pressure having

296
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: that situation? Um? Well, we we we don't really worry

297
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: about what the offense have going on. Um we we

298
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: know the situation. But as a defense, we're always trying

299
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: to force turnovers. You know, we're big on forcing turnovers,

300
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: being physical, and you know, whenever a team playoffs, they

301
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: know they have to come play no matter what our

302
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: situation is on the other side of the ball, they

303
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: have to deal with our defense. So, um, you know,

304
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: we try to go out to the ball and we're

305
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: emphasizing and then we're trying to get even more just

306
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: to even give our offense even more chances, you know,

307
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: to score. Inside the Jets is presented by e Y

00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: and we're joined by Jets linebacker or Novel. Here at

310
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: fourth and five in the first quarter, what was happening

311
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: in terms of that pass rush look like a little stunner,

312
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: a little game for you, and you got a clear

313
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: shot at once. Yeah. Yeah, whenever they send me, if

314
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: I have like a two way a go or something

315
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: on the lineman, I'm probably gonna get there. Um, And

316
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: we had the stunt going and I came around and

317
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: just almost had the sack. Phone one. He got it,

318
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: He got it off. I mean, he's a big quarterback

319
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: and he's he's pretty good at getting rid of the

320
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: ball when people get you've been getting to the quarterback.

321
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: Had a sack of Baker Mayfield in Week two, You

322
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: had the interception in Week one against the Buffalo Bills.

323
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: So what is this experience going to do for your

324
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: long term? Like Eric mentioned, you started out is okay.

325
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: I know I want to be a special team's contributor.

326
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna provide depth. I want to start.

327
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: But if my numbers called, I'll be ready. And sure enough,

328
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: every Williamson goes down with the torn a c L

329
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: and Mosley goes out, and not only did you have

330
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: to change position, but you are the quarterback of this

331
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: defense right now. Yeah, this is this is like an

332
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: opportunity I've been preparing for it for like two years now.

333
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 1: Like when I was in Miami. I started the year

334
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: we went to the playoffs. Um, I started in bass

335
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: defense and then when I got injured, I got cut.

336
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: So it was like a whole It was a it

337
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: was a learning process for me, and I just just

338
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: kept grinding and grinding and got the opportunity here and

339
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: then then with all the injuries, it's like the same

340
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: thing that happened to me. It just flipped and I

341
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: ended up working out for me to where I end

342
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: up having the opportunity to show how good I really am.

343
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: And um, I'm just you know, weekend week out, I'm

344
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: trying to help this team win. The good thing too, Eric,

345
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: as we we talked to Nevill right now, is that

346
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: he played a Marshal and he did had the experience.

347
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: Think about cross training. You played well and Mike and

348
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: Marshall as well. Yeah, I did. When I got to Marshall,

349
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: I was I went to Georgian Military College first, and

350
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: then once I transfer the Marshall, they moved me the

351
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: linebacker and my coach having I was playing will and

352
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: then he moved me to Mike and then so it

353
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: was three of us. So he was rotating. So I

354
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: was playing Mike and Will in the game, so I'm

355
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: doing the same thing now. It's crazy had life works.

356
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: So so never can you talk about your your defensive

357
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: coordinator Greg Williams obviously legendary defensive coach, very big personality.

358
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: What is it like going out there and is it

359
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 1: different than playing for other coordinators? Because I feel like

360
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,959
Speaker 1: I would want to go out there and just just

361
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: run through a wall for Greg Williams? Is it something similar?

362
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: It's cool because I grew up. I grew up in

363
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: um said with Spring Maryland, So I grew up watching

364
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: him when he was coaching with the Redskin, So like

365
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: actually being able to play for him now and actually

366
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: he hied coaches as cool, so like as a player

367
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: and just the stuff that he's like realistic, you know,

368
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: and and and he's like he's old school and he's

369
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: gonna get the best out of all of us, and

370
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: he pushes us in. You know, some days you might

371
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: be tired and you can't feel bad for yourself playing

372
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: for Greg. You know what I'm saying. He gets the

373
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: best out of you. So is it really it's cool experience?

374
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: Quarterback Sam Donald said on the Michael k show earlier

375
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: today on ESPN Radio that you guys had a players

376
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: only meeting today where you kind of clear the air.

377
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: What was said that you can tell us obviously you're

378
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to tell us everything but the

379
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: but the tone of that meeting and how important was

380
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: that to have that? Now, well, you gotta know that

381
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: this team is we got a new head coach, you

382
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: offensive you know, you offensive playable system for the offense.

383
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: We've got a new defensive staff and its just and

384
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: we got new players, you know what I'm saying. So

385
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: it's one of those things. It's not our first time

386
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: having one of those, but it's one of those things

387
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: where we all just get the coaches out of the

388
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: room and just have a conversation with each other and

389
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: really jail And that's pretty much what we were doing

390
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: in there, just if you have something to say said

391
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: and you know at the end of the day that

392
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: we all got to be on the same page. How

393
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: important is that to maintain the perspective Because I've talked

394
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: to you about this before. You just mentioned that experience

395
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: in Miami. You started one and four a couple of

396
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: years ago, and you guys found yourself in the playoffs. Yeah,

397
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: I mean that that's you. You don't see that, especially

398
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: on this level, Like you have a team meeting, but

399
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: like the stuff that we're doing here, we're not far

400
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: off from being a really good team. And then the

401
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: day we we have growing pains here and there, but

402
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: we're not far off from where we need to be. Okay,

403
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: let's look ahead, Dallas Cowboys Sunday. I know you're probably

404
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: jumping into the film because you're all over it right now.

405
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: You gotta be what kind of challenge will it be

406
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: defended against? Seek Elliott? Um, I'm still warming up on

407
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: him right now, but I think you know, I hear

408
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 1: a lot about them, heard a lot about them about him,

409
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: and um, you know, he's one of the better backs

410
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: in this league. So um, I'm hungry like he hungry.

411
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: So so never you know, when I when I was playing,

412
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: say the back, when I play safety, playing against a

413
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: heavy running team, it was always fun for me, Like

414
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, playing against Buffalo when Marshawn Lynch was there,

415
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: or the Steelers with Jerome Bettes, it was like, all right,

416
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to typen up my chinz trap. It's

417
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun game. Do you look at it

418
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: like that as a linebacker, like this is such a

419
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: passing league down when you get to play a running team,

420
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: is it something that you look forward to every time? Everything?

421
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: Just like even like playing against the Eagles, whenever a

422
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: team want to run the ball, as a linebacker or

423
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: a defensive lineman, you you should. If you're not excited

424
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: about that game, something's wrong with you. You're probably playing

425
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: the wrong position, you know, understanding, Like this week, I'm

426
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: very excited. And you know they say they had one

427
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: to better um offensive line in the end the game,

428
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: and you know what I'm saying, have not the best.

429
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: So yeah, we're off for the challenge. Yeah, listen, metluck

430
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,479
Speaker 1: is gonna be rock and it's a four start. Like

431
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: you mentioned before, you guys are gonna be up for

432
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: the challenge. That's the number one offense in the National

433
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: Football League. Got Dak Prescott, Zeke Elliott, of course, Marii

434
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: Cooper and company. But Nevill you deserve arrest. So thanks

Speaker 1: It's intercepted, picked off by Rodney McCloud. He runs right

441
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 1: to the forty five, breaks a tackle at the fifty,

442
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,240

00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,399

444
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: and Eric Coleman here at Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits inside

445
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel. Inside the Jets is presented

446
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: by e Y Building a Better Working World. We were

447
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: just joined in our last segment by linebacker Novil Hewitt.

448
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: He's made great strides this year, no doubt about it.

449
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: And people are like, why do you why do you

450
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: tell him to get some rust? Well, the guy played

451
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: every defensive snap team and he plays on punt team,

452
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: so he's not coming off the field too much. And

453
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: this is a guy who throughout most of his career

454
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: was a reserve and and now he's the guy and

455
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: he's calling the quarterback signal. He's he's a signal caller

456
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: on defense. He's out there every single play. That could

457
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: change when C. J. Mosley comes in, but he'll just

458
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: shift over and he remains a starter, will be the

459
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: week side linebacker. Yeah, I mean, I mean, And the

460
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: way he's playing right now, he's really setting himself up

461
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: for a nice career, uh, you know, to establish himself

462
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: as a starting linebacker in this league, to prove that

463
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: he can go out there every play and perform in

464
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: pass coverage, running, you know, gets the run. He's leading

465
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: the team and tackles right now, doing a heck of

466
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: a job. And this defense is playing well. They have

467
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: some plays out there that they wish they could have back,

468
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure, but overall, this defensive unit is playing good football.

469
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you. If you're a Jets

470
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: fan and you see Mosley go out in Week one

471
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: and you see Devin Singletary taking advantage of some of

472
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: those big, gaping holes, you're probably like, we're in big

473
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: time trouble run from a run defense perspective. But the Jets,

474
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: if you look at their numbers through the first five

475
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: weeks in the NFL season, they're one of the better

476
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: rush defense is in the league without mostly Yeah, I mean,

477
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's coaching, you know, first of all,

478
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's effort by the players. They're doing a

479
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: fantastic job up front of dominating the line of scrimmage.

480
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: But when you see, you know, you're starting linebacker go

481
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: out and in that same game there's some big runs

482
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: going through and then the next week that the run

483
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: game gets gets stopped. Those coaches are coaching up those

484
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: young linebackers to to correct their fits. Let's play team

485
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 1: defense like Neville was talking about. You know, make sure

486
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: everyone stays in their gap, keep that gap integrity. Everybody

487
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: do your job and you can get that run stop.

488
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: What does Greg Williams do in terms of him scheming

489
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: things that make it so hard on an offense because

490
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: everybody talks, we know he's got an attacking style. I

491
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: know he sends pressure a lot, but talking in terms

492
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: of disguising, well, you know, the disguising is a huge

493
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: part of a defense. You know, as a as a

494
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: player in the secondary, as a linebacker, you always you

495
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: never want the quarterback to understand what defense you're in

496
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: before before the snap, you want him to start figuring

497
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: out what defense that you're in. While he's dropping back.

498
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: Why the past rush is going you know is rushing

499
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: on him and you know now you show a cover

500
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: two shell. Last second, when the ball snap, you drop

501
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: down to cover one because now all those routes change.

502
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: There's a route to beat every single coverage, and if

503
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't know what coverage you're in, it's gonna be

504
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: hard for him to adjust while he's backing up. And

505
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: you add into that a defensive line who can get

506
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: after the quarterback. You add into that some blitzing packages

507
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: that are unknown to the to the offensive line, and

508
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: you create some big place And those guys who play

509
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: under Greg Williams dent buy in. You just heard from

510
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: Neville about he's an old school coach. They like being

511
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: coached up by a guy like him. I would love

512
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: to for Greg Williams. You know, I got a chance

513
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: to play for some great coordinators in my day. My

514
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: last one I played for was gun Through Cunningham Rest

515
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: in Peace and one of those old school, just violent

516
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: coaches that just wanted you to just hit as hard

517
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: as you can, run as fast as you can. You

518
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: can tell when he gets angry because he's gonna start

519
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: dialing up the blitzes and makes it fun. You know,

520
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: it makes playing defense fun. And when I see this

521
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: Jets team, they may be losing some games and maybe

522
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: down to the score. But Jamal Adams is having fun.

523
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: But that's gonna bring up what you're talking about fun.

524
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm in the press box yesterday. I'm watching Jamal's the

525
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: third one. He makes a hull of a play on

526
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz pass intended for Dallas Goddard, and then they

527
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: come up with the fourth Downd stuff and Jamal's dancing

528
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: like it's a Saturday night, as he should be. You

529
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: know what, There's so much that goes into making a

530
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: play in the NFL. You know, there's the in the

531
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: off season, you're working on your footwork, your speed to

532
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 1: get that that much faster. And during the season you're

533
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: you're looking at scheme, you're looking at technique to understand

534
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: and how this team is gonna attack you. And then

535
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: you put it all together and go make a big play.

536
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: There's no better feeling than making a big play. I

537
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: don't care what the score is, I don't care who

538
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: you're playing. If you make a play in the NFL,

539
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: you should celebrate and pat yourself on the bat. Yeah, listen, um,

540
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: just rewards members, don't forget to enter code. Play p

541
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: L A Y in your jet rewards portal during the

542
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: show to earn a hundred points. H. I was just

543
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: gonna say that if you had told me before Sunday

544
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: that you're gonna go into Philadelphia and just give up

545
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: seventeen points and they're only going to convert on five

546
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: of their thirteen third downs, You're also gonna get a

547
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: special teams take away deep inside the opponent's territory, I

548
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: would have said, sign me off, because they gave you

549
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: a chance to win it. Yeah, I mean in this defense,

550
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: and the special teams unit hasn't played phenomenal, uh you

551
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: know during out during this season. Uh, you know, they

552
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: they have had to go above and beyond what they

553
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: would normally do to win these games. And unfortunately, offensively,

554
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: they just haven't found a way to get it clicking.

555
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: You know. You try to feed the ball to levy On,

556
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: you try to spread the love around the offense, but

557
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: it's just not jelling in this all because it's not

558
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: all because because I'm sure there's some other you know,

559
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: some receivers can run some better routes. Offensive line, they

560
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: could probably do a better job of protecting, but you know,

561
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback got it, has to get the ball out

562
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: it's a it's a team unit, and everybody works hand

563
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: in hand. Adam Gates told me before this season started

564
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: that it's gonna take three or four games to know

565
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: what my team's identity is. I would say, now, after

566
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: four games, you can't possibly know what your team is.

567
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: You can't, well, you know what you got on defense,

568
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: know what you got on special teams, um offensively, I mean,

569
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: there's so many components missing. And when you take the

570
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: quarterback out, and I keep harping on it because it's

571
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: the truth. You know, your quarterback is the most important

572
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: position on the field. He makes the most money, You

573
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: invest the most money protecting him. If he's out of

574
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: the game, then it makes it tough for your offense

575
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: to go. And I think, you know, and I'm not

576
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: saying that when you plug Sam Donald and everything's gonna

577
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: be fixed, but it's gonna help tremendously. He's gonna help

578
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: with you know, the get the most out of every player.

579
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: The calm. I think you'll see more football, better football,

580
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: you'll see more points on the board, and uh, you'll

581
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: get more competitive. Yeah, And it's hard to take a

582
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: deep dive into the offense in terms of your analysis

583
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: when you know that Luke fall is. He might make

584
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: one more start depending on what happens with the tests

585
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: Tuesday and whether Sam Donald gets clearance or not. But

586
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: the bottom line is you really can't look at this

587
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: offense and give it a grade or nowhere it's going

588
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: until Donald plays any plays for multiple games. You can't

589
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: tell me what this Jets offenses by just looking at

590
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: what happened against the Buffalo Bills. Who oh, by the way,

591
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: have yeah? I mean? And then you know, to Luke

592
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: fawks credit. You know, the first game that he played,

593
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: he was activated all practice squad on Friday. Then he

594
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: goes in there and starts the game. The next week

595
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: he plays against the Patriots. You know, it doesn't have

596
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: a good showing, but that's a great defensive, one of

597
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: the best Patriot defensive we've seen in a long time.

598
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: And then you know he Sam Donald takes all the

599
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: first team reps last week. Falk finds out on Friday

600
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: that he's going to be the starter, and that's just

601
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: not enough, especially for a young quarterback who hasn't done enough.

602
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: He needs a full week of preparation to even have

603
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: a chance, and to play against an aggressive defense like Philadelphia,

604
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: who is coached by Jim Schwartz, who I played for.

605
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: All he cares about is getting to the quarterback. He

606
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: doesn't care about the draw, doesn't care about the screen.

607
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: He wants those defensive linemen get into the quarterback. And

608
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: to play against that kind of pressure as a quarterback

609
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: who's got one day of preparation is a tough thing

610
00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: to ask. I do think the frustrating aspect for not

611
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: only people watching at home, but over across the street

612
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: the facility is sometimes the pressure is getting home when

613
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: they are just rushing for Yeah, but you know a

614
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: lot of that is in the offensive line's fault, you know.

615
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: For for a quarterback who hasn't seen a lot of

616
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: different coverages, he's trying not to make a mistake, and

617
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: you can't win trying not to lose, you know, trying

618
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: not to throw an interception. You have to take the

619
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: fight to the defense. You have to anticipate those throws

620
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: you have to throw the receiver's open, and it's hard

621
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: to get a feel for that when you don't get

622
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: the reps. You don't have the experience or the confidence,

623
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: uh that Sam Donald has. These are great points when

624
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: you're talking about a young quarterback who's just made is

625
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: second start in the National Football League. You're emphasizing not

626
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: making a mistake. So maybe sometimes your eyes should be

627
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: going through the progressions or maybe you should be seeing

628
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: something and instead maybe you're looking at something else. Yeah,

629
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's all about anticipation. And as I mentioned earlier,

630
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: you know, there's a route to beat every coverage. So

631
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: if they're in cover two, then you're gonna run a

632
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: certain route and there's there's gonna be an area of

633
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: the field that's open. But excuse me, Detroit, Philadelphia did

634
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: a great job of disguising coverage. They have some veterans,

635
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: have a veteran secondary led by Malcolm Jenkins, even though

636
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: they were banged up in at the cornerback, but they're

637
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: still moving around making things confusing. Then you add to

638
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: the fact, you know, Luke fowks on his back quite

639
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: a bit. You know, it doesn't make it easy. You know,

640
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a tough thing to ask and

641
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: it was frustrating to watch. You know, you and I

642
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: were both there at the game. You know, the all

643
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: the air, you know, the Philadelphia fans were hyped, the

644
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: crowd was hyped. Uh. You know, if you're a Jet fan.

645
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: It was like, after the first couple of series, it

646
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: was like, oh, man, well, how do you how do

647
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: you prevent that feeling on the sideline because you have

648
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: such a fascinating perspective because you've been on that sideline before.

649
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 1: Because now we've seen the last three weeks, Cleveland's up

650
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: thirteen nothing in the second quarter. New England's up twenty

651
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: to nothing in the first quarter, Philly's up fourteen nothing

652
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: before people have gotten back from buying their popcorn. Stay

653
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: in your lane, you got everybody has to stay in

654
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: the lane. If I'm on defense and the offense isn't playing, well,

655
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: guess what. That's not my responsibility. That's out of my control.

656
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: While all I can do is handle my job. I

657
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: can be where I'm supposed to be. I can make

658
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: the plays that I'm supposed to make within the defense.

659
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,239
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go, you know, cover somebody else's job

660
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: trying to make a play and then I'm gonna leave

661
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: mine open and give up a big play. Everyone has

662
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: to do their job. There's a role for every player

663
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: and every and I don't care if you're on offensive defense,

664
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: you have to stick to your job and be where

665
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be and be accountable to the man

666
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: next year. Yeah, And the Jets did start a pair

667
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: of new starters at offensive line. Along that offensive line,

668
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: left guard Alice Lewis, who's had some starting experience in

669
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: the National Football League. He took the place with Collecchio,

670
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: assembly who's banged up with the shoulder. And then you

671
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: started to doga your third round pick from USC who

672
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: was taking the spot of an interactive Brandon Shell. So

673
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: to your five offensive linemen against Philadelphia team looking to

674
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback, we're new, We're new upfront. Oh yeah,

675
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: and it's always tough. You talk about the offensive line,

676
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: you talk about the chemistry that that that that bond

677
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: that you have to have, that unspoken communication that you

678
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: have to have in a crazy atmosphere like Philadelphia, And

679
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: when you're throwing somebody new, it's like, wait, you know,

680
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: we're on the same page. And if we're not on

681
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 1: the same page, then there's gonna that's gonna be a

682
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: lot of big plays that we're giving up. That's what

683
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: That's what Lewis said today. We gotta communicate, butter, Yeah,

684
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: I mean in the secondary. We had a saying is,

685
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: you know, as long as you communicate, as long as

686
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: if we're all wrong, and we're all wrong together, then

687
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: we're all right. We'll get through the down. We're all

688
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: playing the same coverage, but we can't have one guy

689
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: playing cover two the other guy playing playing Cover four

690
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: over here. And that's when you start to get those

691
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: big plays where there's a free runner running down the

692
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: running of the field wide open and nobody's around him

693
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: because that communication isn't there. How much do you think

694
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: this is hurting c J. Molesley right now? Because he

695
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: came from a winning program in Baltimore. He signed a

696
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: lucle ritive contract in the off season. He was brought

697
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: here to turn the tide. And this guy, his d

698
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: n A says winner. Oh yeah, it has to be

699
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 1: tough for he. Uh, Sam Donald, Quincy, all these guys

700
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: are competitors, they're they're winners, and for c J. His

701
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: presence is still felt. You know, you you watching Neville

702
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: go out there and play. He's out there busting heads. Uh.

703
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 1: You know, every player, every linebacker out there, they playing

704
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: with the mentality. The whole defense is playing with a

705
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: certain mentality and just because c J isn't out there

706
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,879
Speaker 1: doesn't mean his presence can't be felt. But I'm sure

707
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: it's killing him that to sit there and watch his

708
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: his teammates, watch his dogs go out there and not

709
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: not get the winds, not being able to contribute. You know,

710
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: if you're gonna get beat, I want to get beat

711
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: with you. You know what I mean. I don't want

712
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: you guys just to be out there without me leading,

713
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: leading away. Do you think I crazy? My sense is

714
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 1: here in between weeks eight weeks fourteen, the Jets are

715
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: gonna get a few wins. They're gonna get some talent back,

716
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: and I think by the end of the season they

717
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: could be it. They could become a team that, you

718
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: know what, we don't want to play the squad after

719
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: Dallas in New England. Two very difficulty uh games coming up,

720
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 1: no doubt about it, and we're gonna break down the

721
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 1: Cowboys matchup coming up. You're at Jacksonville teams two and three.

722
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: Right now, I know they have a tough defense. But

723
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: then you're in Miami that's a winless team. You're home

724
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: to the Giants, a team that's rebuilding on fly two

725
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: and three. Washington Redskins. They just made a coaching change,

726
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: um as Kell Hants takes over there. They're owing five

727
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: the Raiders three and two right now, but then at

728
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: Cincinnati on five, and then you complete that little stretch

729
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,439
Speaker 1: with a trip with a home game against Miami. Who. Yeah,

730
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean there's gonna be some opportunities, but but ultimately,

731
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, if you're if you're going out there and playing,

732
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: you can't worry about who you're playing. You have to

733
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 1: worry about your job and not making mistakes, not beating yourself.

734
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: And I think that once his team starts to gain

735
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: that confidence, you start to win a game, you start

736
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,919
Speaker 1: to score on the end of a drive, you start

737
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,439
Speaker 1: to pick up that momentum and that confidence. And once

738
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: this team has some more confidence and they understand that

739
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: they can go out there and compete with anybody, I

740
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be dangerous. I think we're gonna take

741
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: a deep dive into this player's only meeting because I

742
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: wanted to get your reactions on that. Coming up. Also,

743
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: we have to explore the matchup that awaits the Jets

744
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: Sunday at MetLife Stadium the Dallas Cowboys, who look like

745
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: world beaters. Those first three weeks now have taken a

746
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: couple of losses the last two, so they'll be desperate

747
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: for victory as well. So more coming up. You are

748
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:07,439
Speaker 1: listening to Inside the Jets on ESPN New York Block.

749
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: Edwards comes on to punt by Clement deep to receive

750
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: and over and kicked to the far side left will

751
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: bounce inside the thirty and Clement touches it and the

752
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: Jets get after it. In about the twenty yard lock,

753
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,240
Speaker 1: there's a loose ball inside the twenty to the Jets recover.

754
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: They did. The Eagles touched the ball for some reason.

755
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: Clement went after it instead of letting it bounce. Trenton

756
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 1: Kennon the gunner was there and it looked like Cannon

757
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: got the recovery. Remember, Jets fans, You can stream Inside

762
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:05,080

763
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 1: got a break on special teams where Philadelphia messed up

764
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: in terms of fielding that punt, but you gotta be

765
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: there two pounds on your opportunities and Trent and Cannon

766
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: once yeah, and you know, Trent and Cannon Gate gave

767
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: great effort on that play and he was in the

768
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: right place at the right time. And uh, you know,

769
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: it's a credit to him. He's been showing up on

770
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: special teams a lot, whether it be in the return game,

771
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 1: covering punts. He's very active and it's great to see

772
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: a player like that get rewarded with the big place.

773
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 1: So what do you think about the play call from

774
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: Adam Case following that, he goes to a pistol formation.

775
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: Time Montgomery lines up behind Luke Falk little play action

776
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: to Levian Bell and everybody goes right over pursuit. They're

777
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: thinking the pitch is gonna go to Time Montgomery and

778
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: here calls Vincent Smith, who's active for his first for

779
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: the first time as a jet. I thought that was

780
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: a great play called little misdirection, fake option reverse. Uh,

781
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: it was exactly what was needed, you know, And that's

782
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: the creativity I think everyone's been looking for for Coach Gaze,

783
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: because you know he you know, he has the weapons.

784
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: You know, you know, he has the players to go

785
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: out there and execute those plays, but it's all about

786
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 1: you know, getting guys healthy, getting put in the right situations,

787
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: capitalizing off turnovers. And I thought they did a great job.

788
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: But there it is. You just said it. He being

789
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 1: put in the right situation. I think Gay has this

790
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: if you followed his career at all in Miami, He's

791
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: got a lot of things dialed up, especially inside that

792
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: red zone where he can get really creative. And that

793
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: was an example of it. Oh yeah, I mean and

794
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 1: once his offense gets going, once the momentum starts going,

795
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: they you know, start having nice drives and uh, they

796
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: can start breaking tendencies. I think that's when you're gonna

797
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: start seeing the special plays. You start seeing the big

798
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: place from Levan in time Montgomery, uh, and start to

799
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 1: see just feature different players. And um, I'm excited to

800
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: see that playbook start to open up once Sam Donald

801
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: gets back, because I'm sure that's what's been holding things back. Listen,

802
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: you haven't been playing for a couple of years, but

803
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: you're still in very good shape. But I tried to

804
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: keep myself in shape. I don't look quite like you

805
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: with the arms, but I will say that I kind

806
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: of got into the end zone, I think on that

807
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: one because Leveon Bell was leading the way. The cornerback

808
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: wanted no part of him. Lebian said, follow me. I'm

809
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: taking you to that. And that's what it takes sometimes,

810
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: that unselfish play from your stars. I mean, you talk

811
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: about the best player on the field and he's out

812
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: there blocking cornerbacks, you know, down the field where he

813
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: doesn't even know if the play is gonna make it

814
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: to him. Excellent block by Lebian. Unselfish, unselfish football. That's

815
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: how you win the game. If Donald does indeed come

816
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: back against the Cowboys on Sunday at MetLife, that's sure

817
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: gonna add a lot of drama. It's gonna give the

818
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: crowd a big time boost. What do you anticipate from

819
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: the Jets offensively with four under center, Well, you know,

820
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: I think they'll take more vertical shots down the field.

821
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: I think they'll you'll see him converting more third downs

822
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: and moving the chains a little bit and being more efficient.

823
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: But they've got a tough opponent against them, you know,

824
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: de Marcus Lawrence, Layton vander esh On the other side,

825
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith uh is a pretty good front seven over

826
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: there in Dallas, and they're playing good football. So I

827
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: think if Sam plays, you know, he'll be up for

828
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: the challenge. I know lady On will be up for

829
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: the challenge because every time he gets the ball, he's

830
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: trying to score, trying to break, you know, a thousand

831
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: tackles to get three yards. So it's um, it's gonna

832
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: be competitive games. What's the trademark of a Rod Marionelli

833
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: coach defense? Rod marion Nelly, Um, Tampa two plays a

834
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 1: lot of Tampa two defense. Uh, you know some zone blitz.

835
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: Is he likes those athletic outside linebackers who can just

836
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: read the quarterback's eyes. You know, that's what you think

837
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: back to Derek Brooks and Hardy nick Sin they got

838
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 1: a lot of interceptions even Ryande Barber off of reading

839
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback underneath coverage. Uh, just just moving on a

840
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 1: chain together. So it's gonna take a lot of manipulation

841
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: from the quarterback. They're gonna have some some schemes Herndon

842
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: being in the middle of that defense because the middle

843
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 1: of the line, in the middle linebacker closes the middle

844
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: of the field and Tampa two. So it's gonna be

845
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: Herndon versus Layton vander ash or Jalon Smith, whoever it is.

846
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 1: But but that's gonna be a great matchup. On the

847
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,879
Speaker 1: other side of the ball, Cowboys of getting themselves into

848
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 1: trouble with some turnovers, but boy, they can move the football.

849
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: They had like five d sixty total yards against the

850
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers trying to come back. Um, then about

851
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 1: forty five seconds. What do you gotta do if you're

852
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: Greg Williams to contain this Cowboys offensive? Obviously starts with

853
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott, but Dak Prescott, he's got some weapons on

854
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: the outside, and Mary Cooper just had two yards receiving. Absolutely,

855
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: it's tough. It's a tough test, but it has to

856
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: start with stopping the run. You cannot let the Dallas

857
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys run the football on you, because now that opens

858
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: up a can of worms for your defense has play

859
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: action shots. Uh, Jason Witten, Uh, Michael Gallup. You know

860
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: there's so many receivers out there. But if you stop

861
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: that run, you stuff Zeke up, it's gonna make it difficult.

862
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: You're gonna put all the pressure on Dak Prescott. And

863
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: finally you feel good about the Jets cleaner in there today.

864
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I feel great about it. It's always great

865
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: to get everything off your chest, let it be known.

866
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: Have that team on the players only meeting. I thought that.

867
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna help them out. That's all for

868
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 1: us this week from Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits. Thanks for

869
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: listening to Inside the Jets.
