Speaker 1: visit the New York Jets, and Prime Video analysts Andrew

3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: Whitworth with us now, long time tackle in the NFL,

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: sixteen years with Cincinnati and the l A. Rams. It's

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: great to see you and talk to you. And the

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: Jags are in primetime and it matters. Finally, Andrew, what's up, man?

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. I don't know when we circled this one

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: on the schedule, if we thought, hey, Jacksonville Jets is

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a big time game that could have big

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: implications on the playoffs scenarios. I don't know if this

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: is the one we circled and said that, but you

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: know what, we're here and it is, and you know

13
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 1: what they both these teams have young quarterbacks that they

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: drafted high, invested a lot of money in, and Uh

15
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: in New York saw it. It's about the Jets, Uh,

16
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: their defense and the ability that they've had this year

17
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,639
Speaker 1: and seeing Zach Wilson rose up and you know what,

18
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: those Jaguars, it's Trevor Lawrence man the emergence of who

19
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: he is and what they drafted him to be. A

20
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: little more on this game coming up. But at the

21
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: sixteen years in the NFL, do you miss it? Do

22
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: you miss playing? I mean, you're you're in a different role,

23
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: you're around. It's still but it's a little different first

24
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: year out, I'm sure I will honestly say I do

25
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: not miss playing. I you know, I missed the locker room.

26
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: I missed those moments when you know, you come in

27
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: on a Monday after a big win and everybody's beat

28
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: up and tired, and you just hanging out with each

29
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: other having a good talk, a good laugh about maybe

30
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: something that happened in the game or the day before,

31
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: or even after a loss. I mean to you know,

32
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: to be together and say, hey, you know what, let's

33
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: go find a way to win this next week. All

34
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: those those moments that brought that camaraderie and that tightness

35
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: together of a group. I'll miss those. But man, I'm

36
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: having so much fun covering the game. It's been been

37
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: so invigorating for me to look at the game in

38
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: a much bigger picture than just my job every week.

39
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: And I couldn't be more excited to turn on the

40
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: tape and watch games and and just follow the players coaches,

41
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: you know, GM systems, all those things that I just

42
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: believe in or UH want to know more about. What

43
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: did you think you would become an analyst? It was

44
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: this a new thing or did you have this in

45
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: the back of your head the last few years? You know,

46
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: not really. I It's one of those things over my

47
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: career when I did interviews or I had opportunities to

48
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: go speak places I always had whoever the reporter was

49
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: or the news channel whatever, they always say to me,

50
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: Hey when they got done, like you gotta do TV,

51
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: Like you would be great like that. You just you're

52
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: somebody that I love watching when you're on the screen.

53
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: And and I never even thought about I would do this.

54
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: And and then when my career ended, Uh, it was like,

55
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: all right, I'm retiring, but this game has literally changed

56
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: my life. UM so passionate about it and what's right

57
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: and what's wrong and what what I believe is winning

58
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: football and those kind of things that I still want

59
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: to be around it. So does that involve me trying

60
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: to find a job in front office or coach or

61
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: what way could I be around the game. And so

62
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: I tried to explore all those options, and when one

63
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: became hey, would you want to do this? Like would

64
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: you want to talk about the game of football? And

65
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: I don't know if I thought my mind what it is?

66
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: I thought maybe in my mind from Afar it was

67
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: just very surface level, just talking about stuff that you

68
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: you know, read in a piece of paper. But to

69
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: realize now like it's about watching tape and studying guys

70
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: and watching the emergence of different teams offensively or defensively. Uh,

71
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: just the investment in it. I've loved it. It's been

72
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: so much fun and I'm really, honestly, I couldn't be

73
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: more excited to be exactly where I am. Andrew Whitworth

74
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: with us from Amazon Prime Video. He'll have analysts work pregame,

75
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: post game around the game for the Jaguars and the Jets.

76
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: So let's get to the game now. The Jaguars were

77
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: two and six this season, and they had just lost

78
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: a game in London where Trevor Lawrence through a couple

79
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: of key interceptions, certainly the one at the one yard

80
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: line going in on first and goal. Since then, it's

81
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: a totally different team, a totally different feeling quarterback. And

82
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: when you have the quarterback playing at this level, the

83
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: belief around him can build, and it feels like the

84
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: Jaguars have that. Maybe it takes one moment like that

85
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: in London to really turn things around. You do you

86
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: believe that was the moment? And then what have you

87
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: seen out of over the last month that I have? Yeah,

88
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: I really do. I mean when you look at it,

89
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean you think about football. I don't care what

90
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: position you're playing when you come in and have to

91
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: play early as a young player, as I did. I

92
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: was a rookie. I started twelve games at left tackle. Um.

93
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: You know, it's one of those things. At some point

94
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: you have this moment where your play is going. You

95
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: know you're probably playing well as a rookie, especially higher

96
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: draft picks that have a lot of talent, like you're

97
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: playing okay, and you're trying to find a way to like, hey,

98
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: I want to know I fit in with the rest

99
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: of this league and the rest of the old lineman

100
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: in my room and that kind of thing. But at

101
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: some point you have a moment where you go, oh, man,

102
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: I gotta put my feet in the ground and this

103
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: has got to change and I've got to do this better.

104
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: And I think with Trevor Lawrence. You always saw the capabilities, like, hey, man,

105
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: there's moments last year we'd see a throw where you're like, wow,

106
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: that that's why he was a top five talent. That's

107
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: why he was the number one pick. You saw that

108
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: throw like that's unbelievable. But you didn't see him do

109
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: all the little things at quarterback where you're like, man,

110
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: he's playing the position the best and and and the

111
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: way that you would expect him to play it. And

112
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: then now you've really seem like, man, here we are.

113
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: Ten weeks ago, people probably thought, man, I don't see

114
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: as much as I want to see different from last

115
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: year to where he goes to this Denver game, he

116
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: has this moment and I'll never forget his quotes about

117
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: how I never want my team to feel like this again.

118
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: I never want to feel like this again, that that

119
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: I'm the one putting my team in a position where

120
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: they're not winning. And he felt that way after that game,

121
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: and I feel like that was his moment where he

122
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: put his foot in the ground and he said, you

123
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: know what, I'm about to find ways that I'm gonna

124
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and just accept it. I'm the

125
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: quarterback our team is gonna win and lose based off

126
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: I play this position. That is the NFL. Every team's

127
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: QB faces that. I'm gonna accept it. I'm gonna put

128
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: my feet in the ground and I'm gonna make a

129
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: difference and I'm gonna be the difference of why we

130
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: win and lose games. And whow has he been on fire?

131
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: It's been exceptional. See the confidence you know that he

132
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: has and how special that is in the NFL. I mean,

133
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: confidence and momentum is a real thing, and he's got

134
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: it right now. And they are not a team that

135
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: anybody wants to see. Andrew a couple of more thoughts

136
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: with you here. Kim Robinson is out most likely for

137
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: the rest of the season with a knee injury. But

138
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: it's a big opportunity for Walker a little to step

139
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: in there. And he's a second round pick. He's gotta

140
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: go a prove it now and and give Trevor the

141
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: time to go do his work starting Thursday night. Yeah,

142
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a challenge. I mean, look at his

143
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: Jets defense is really good. Uh. They like to create

144
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: some pressure on you know, on the quarterback and get

145
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,119
Speaker 1: after people. And you're gonna have situations the way they

146
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: for the way they do things, they're gonna put the

147
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: quarterback back there with some four man rushes to where,

148
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: you know what, he's gonna have to look around a

149
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: little bit and and buy some time to find people

150
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: who are open and read what they're doing with their

151
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: different zones. They'll play, you know, they'll play some man,

152
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: they'll play some cover for stuff like that. So he's

153
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: gonna need time. So it's gonna be a challenge. And

154
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: they've got some good guys up front, so this could

155
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: be a big factor. I mean, we saw different teams

156
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: throughout this season. When you lose some of your critical alignment,

157
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: that means a lot to keep in the quarterback clean

158
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: or your running game, Uh, it matters. So this is

159
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: gonna be a big test because it's one thing to

160
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: be a guy who goes and fills in in a game.

161
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: That happens plenty and guysking get through it. But when

162
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: you're kind of the guy and they know all week, hey,

163
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 1: we're gonna circle this is the guy playing, let's evaluate

164
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: his tape and how you beat him, that's a whole

165
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: different challenge. When you're the starter and there you're the

166
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: guy they're circling and saying, let's evaluate this guy and

167
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: how do we go beat him? So this would be

168
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: a great game for him, have a chance to be

169
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: challenged short week though, which plays in his favor as

170
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: a young player. And hopefully he can go out there

171
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: and stand the test because that they're gonna need it.

172
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: And you know what, there's nothing better for a quarterbacks

173
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: on fire than time to throw the football. And if

174
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: you want to rattle him and get him rattled, it's

175
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: gonna be happy to get to him. So you know

176
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: that the Jets are gonna have a lot of emphasis

177
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: of how many times can we try and hit Trevor

178
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: Lawrence in this game. Andrew Whitworth with his final thought,

179
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson's leadership for this team steady day to day.

180
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: He never changes. I don't know how much you've been

181
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: around Doug. I think that's a big piece of what

182
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: this team has done this year. His steady, constant, day

183
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: to day, nothing changes. We lost the fourth squarter lead,

184
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: Let's get back to it. We've won a game, Let's

185
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: get back to it. He's done it at the highest

186
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: level and this team's buying in. You can't underestimate what

187
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: Doug certainly is done here. Oh there's no doubt. Look,

188
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: Doug spent some time in the three one eight North Louisiana.

189
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: I know Doug well. Uh, you know what he's Uh,

190
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: he's a good dude man, and his his personality and

191
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: how he is. I mean, man, does anybody deserve more

192
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: credit than him for really how he settled in with

193
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and the job he's done, you know, with

194
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: the confidence across that building. You hear the different interviews

195
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: of guys and what they say about him, and they'd

196
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: run through walls for him and do anything else. So

197
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: that part right there is special. And man, he's done

198
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: an amazing job with this team. And right now what

199
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: he's done is not just coming and been the coach

200
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: and got the quarterback to play better, but he's you

201
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: can feel that they've got a team that's starting to

202
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: believe in themselves and they're starting to believe that big

203
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: plays are possible, big moments are possible. And I don't

204
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: think that's the kind of team you want to play

205
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,479
Speaker 1: late in the year because late in the year, young rosters,

206
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: talented rosters that also have confidence and momentum, those are

207
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: the toughest to beat, and that's why they have been

208
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: on this role and that they're bringing the challenge and

209
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: we're able to pull off a win last week. It

210
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: gets a really good football team. I'm telling you that

211
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: this team could make some noise unless somebody can find

212
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: a way to end that confidence and momentum and Doug

213
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: Peterson's a bigger part is that as anybody Andrews, thanks

214
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: for the time, enjoy the game. Merry Christmas to you

215
