Speaker 1: Forty eight yards from the left half. The snap is good,
Speaker 1: the placement is good, the kick end over end towards
Speaker 1: the uprights. It is now god, hey, that's dead, but
Speaker 1: Jets surviving overtime. The first ness of the year for
Speaker 1: Josh Brown. Live from Calandraous Italian village and called Well
Speaker 1: New Jersey. It's inside the Jets on Nutty eight point
Speaker 1: seven ESPN. Here's Larry Hardisty and Eric Gallen and we
Speaker 1: welcome you to the Ovicio Cafe at Collaudra's Italian village.
Speaker 1: Here in called World New Jersey. Larry Hardisty and Eric
Speaker 1: Allen and e A for me, this was an unbelievable game.
Speaker 1: You heard Boba Shusan in the open lose his voice
Speaker 1: over this contest all weekend long. Everybody's talking about what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen is the rivalry game. But we knew going
Speaker 1: in both of these teams really really needed this game,
Speaker 1: and it was late time going down the stretch. Ryan Fitzpatrick,
Speaker 1: they call him Ryan fitz Magic, and it's great for
Speaker 1: Jet fans to finally have a number one receiver it
Speaker 1: was Brandon Marshall, and the number two receiver it was
Speaker 1: Eric Decker. It was both of those guys. E A.
Speaker 1: They marched down the field and then we have a
Speaker 1: tie game fits again operating in the hurry up was
Speaker 1: he was a magician out there. Fourth down, the keeper
Speaker 1: guy makes the play and and then you go to
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall. Who else you go to Brandon Marshall to
Speaker 1: tie his baby up? Going overtime, go right down the
Speaker 1: field again. Unfortunately for the Jets, hey didn't finish with
Speaker 1: a touchdown there, but they take the lead and then
Speaker 1: they hang on. That was a gutty, gritty performance. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what. This team showed a lot of character
Speaker 1: and resolve. And we were sitting here at Calandres a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago after the Jets and went down
Speaker 1: to Houston and fell to five and five overall, and
Speaker 1: a lot of people thought the world was falling apart. Okay,
Speaker 1: now two weeks later, the Jets are sitting here seven
Speaker 1: or five out a two game win streak, playing meaningful
Speaker 1: games in December, and if the season ended today, which
Speaker 1: it doesn't, they'd be in the playoffs, play playing New England.
Speaker 1: Of course. Yea, who hey, that'd be fun. Let's go
Speaker 1: up to Foxboro'll be playing who else it's gonna be
Speaker 1: New Witlands. Let's go down about that. Listen. Here's the
Speaker 1: other thing that that impressed me about yesterday offensively was
Speaker 1: and you talk about Brandon Marshall, who was unbelieving, when
Speaker 1: you talk about Eric Decker, who was outstanding, was amazing
Speaker 1: yesterday out of the backfield. Uh, he was just amazing
Speaker 1: with the way he performed yesterday. Big catches a lot
Speaker 1: of game. And and that's what we talked about with
Speaker 1: Todd Bowls is that his ability to adjust. And Okay,
Speaker 1: they've taken the runaway from the line of scrimmage seven
Speaker 1: eight in the box, so what else just knew? So
Speaker 1: let's get a running back into flat. Even griss Iby
Speaker 1: had some passes into flat as well, and it's just
Speaker 1: like a run. Yeah, I'll tell you what. Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: at times early on, he took some shots. The Giants
Speaker 1: got to him. He was sacked three times in all.
Speaker 1: And but I thought the line started coming together late
Speaker 1: in the game in the second half. And you mentioned
Speaker 1: Paul what an outlet, and he's been dynamic with his
Speaker 1: feet and he looks fresh too. That was a career
Speaker 1: high eight receptions and nine receiving yards he got in
Speaker 1: the end zone in the first half, and then late
Speaker 1: on the game tying touchdown drive, he was the first
Speaker 1: pass out of the backfield with the Jets pick up
Speaker 1: twenty and that started things for him. So yesterday that
Speaker 1: was the first time for the New York Jets that
Speaker 1: they had two receivers with a hundred yards receiving in
Speaker 1: Marshall and Decker since Tune and Walker. I mean, we're
Speaker 1: seeing some rare things right now from those guys on
Speaker 1: the outside. But like you're saying, we talk about every week,
Speaker 1: who's the third receiving weapon. Well, yesterday wasn't necessarily a receiver.
Speaker 1: It was a back and Balalpa gave them a big
Speaker 1: time jump. Um. You know, a lot of heroes yesterday,
Speaker 1: and that's what typically happens when you come down from
Speaker 1: ten points in the fourth quarter. That's only happened ten
Speaker 1: times in Jets history, six times on the road, and
Speaker 1: Jets fans were giving me a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of heat about it. They said, a road game, a
Speaker 1: road game. Well technically technically it was a road game,
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, you know, I'm still I'm still a
Speaker 1: little bit excited about it. But you know the guys. Uh.
Speaker 1: A few of the guys talked on the conference call
Speaker 1: today with the local media and Todd both spoke as well,
Speaker 1: and Boll said, hey, listen, they needed to see this,
Speaker 1: They needed to see evidence of what happens when you
Speaker 1: can finish. And I liked what I heard out Antonio
Speaker 1: Camardi to Larry, he said, you of what, we haven't
Speaker 1: played a complete game this year yet. We haven't put
Speaker 1: it all together offensively, defensively, and on special teams. And
Speaker 1: the Jets had plenty to correct when uh, they look
Speaker 1: at that game film. There were some penalties there. We
Speaker 1: talked about, Uh, fits was under something rust early in
Speaker 1: that ball game. The defense gave up big plays special
Speaker 1: teams at times. But with that being said, so much
Speaker 1: good came out of that ball game. The Jets gave
Speaker 1: up twenty points in the second quarter, they shut down
Speaker 1: Eli Manning and company over those final three quarters to
Speaker 1: nothing zero points. And look the topic coming in. How
Speaker 1: many times did the guys last week talk about Odell
Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. Was Was he the most talked about? He
Speaker 1: might be the most talked about athlete in the city
Speaker 1: last week? And with the amazing one amazing catch that
Speaker 1: he had for big yardage. Uh, and he reaches out
Speaker 1: and grabs another football with one hand. Okay, so what
Speaker 1: else is new? But once again, the key thing with
Speaker 1: him is keep him out of the end zone. He's
Speaker 1: gonna make his catches. Yeah, he's a fabulous receiver, but
Speaker 1: it's about tackling him. It's about keeping him out of
Speaker 1: the end zone. And really the second the Jet defense
Speaker 1: shut him down second and then they did in the
Speaker 1: second half. And he's gonna make his place. He's just
Speaker 1: too good. It's a great place. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: The Jets have seen a lot of good receivers this year.
Speaker 1: You know what you think about DeAndre Hopkins and obviously uh,
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, and and the list goes on and on.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what, Yeah, Odell makes it look
Speaker 1: too easy sometimes, Like somebody said today, it looked like
Speaker 1: he was catching the tennis ball with that one hander.
Speaker 1: But you know, and there was a mix up in
Speaker 1: coverages there in a seventy two yard uh touchdown there
Speaker 1: in the first half. And also Antonio Carmardi took blame
Speaker 1: for the Giants field goal where they got a long
Speaker 1: pass to their tight end there before a halftime, and
Speaker 1: then we know the Jets also gave up the punt return.
Speaker 1: But with that had all being said, the defense shutting
Speaker 1: them down in the second half. The offense when they
Speaker 1: needed ten points late, they got ten points, they got
Speaker 1: to overtime, and when they got rolling, and Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: was doing rhythm. Wow, he he's playing tremendous. And people
Speaker 1: want to ask me, Larry, over the past couple of weeks, Hey,
Speaker 1: what about a late season slide. Isn't that typical Ryan Fitzpatrick. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't see it because last week he threw four
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. This game, he completed seventy his passes for
Speaker 1: three yards and two touchdowns and wasn't picked off. So
Speaker 1: Ryan fitz Ryan Fitzpatrick and we talked about it every week.
Speaker 1: A lot of these guys in this locker room have
Speaker 1: never participated in the postseason before. And when you think
Speaker 1: about a guy like Fitzpatrick, and you think about a
Speaker 1: guy like Brandon Marshall who just eclipsed a thousand yards
Speaker 1: for the eighth time in nine seasons, you know they
Speaker 1: see what's in front of them. But with that being said,
Speaker 1: the guy said it today, Larry, it's the Tennessee Titans,
Speaker 1: because then you have to start worrying about everything that
Speaker 1: happens around you if you don't take care of business.
Speaker 1: But right now you got Tennessee coming to town and
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariotta making some place. They won a ballgame yesterday,
Speaker 1: sometimes shoot out sometimes in the National Football League, it
Speaker 1: is hard, It is difficult to win. You just gotta
Speaker 1: find a way to win next week and then go
Speaker 1: from there. But the Jets have set themselves up here
Speaker 1: to do something in December. Laurie Harstay and Eric Allen,
Speaker 1: we're inside the Jets. This is that Colando's Italian Villas.
Speaker 1: We are going to be joined a little bit later
Speaker 1: by Marcus Gilchrist and also by Brian Winners. They'll be
Speaker 1: joining us in the latest segment. We'll take your calls
Speaker 1: if you take your questions via even via Twitter, and
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of them already that we're lined up,
Speaker 1: so we'll take them a little bit later in the
Speaker 1: thing before we go to breaking a Just give me
Speaker 1: a sense of the feeling in that locker room last night.
Speaker 1: Big win, and let's stole the rivalry aside. Right now.
Speaker 1: This was a must win really for both teams and
Speaker 1: when you get the sense of that defense coming through
Speaker 1: shutting them down. You mentioned Ron test Miles with the
Speaker 1: big interception. It's fourth down. Obviously, John's are going for
Speaker 1: the kill. They're trying to put seven on the board.
Speaker 1: They're trying to say, listen, you can't beat this. We're
Speaker 1: gonna try to go up three scores. Big difference. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they want for the dagger, no doubt about it. Tom Coughlin,
Speaker 1: they elected to go and he knows his team better
Speaker 1: than anybody. I'm not gonna sit here in question what
Speaker 1: other teams choose to do out there on the ball
Speaker 1: field fourth and two. He wanted to make it a
Speaker 1: three possession game. The Jets stood up. I think it
Speaker 1: was big just getting an interception, because, yeah, if you
Speaker 1: get a pass deflection or he throws the ball out
Speaker 1: of bounds, that's fine, you take over on downs. But
Speaker 1: the Jets preached about takeaways all the time. So even
Speaker 1: though it didn't really change the field position that much,
Speaker 1: I just thought it changed the feeling out there. We'll
Speaker 1: get an interception, Tess gets an interception. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: he was the guy who jumped off sides on the
Speaker 1: fourth and four on the punt which extended that dry
Speaker 1: even the first place. So the Jets made up for
Speaker 1: a lot of their mistakes. But you know, we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk to Brian Winners about this. We're gonna talk to
Speaker 1: Marcus gill Cursse about this. It was an emotional locker room,
Speaker 1: you know. Uh, Todd Bowls was in there, presented a
Speaker 1: game ball to Woody Johnson. The guys were having a
Speaker 1: good time in there, and they're allowed to celebrate and
Speaker 1: they should feel good about themselves because you know, they
Speaker 1: did finish. They did finish. They and and early in
Speaker 1: the season they might not have won in this ball game.
Speaker 1: But to me, this is a sign of a developing
Speaker 1: ball club. It's a team that's finding ways to win
Speaker 1: even when they don't play well. And when you make
Speaker 1: mistakes and have turnovers like like the punt returns like
Speaker 1: a turnover, you know, the offside, it's like a turnover. Uh.
Speaker 1: You overcome that and you and you go on the
Speaker 1: on the road, even though on the road, and you win,
Speaker 1: and you win in overtime. That's a big win. That's
Speaker 1: a momentum win that you try to build on. And
Speaker 1: that's what the goal is, to put wins together. And
Speaker 1: that's what you're doing, Sumber eight. You spread and you
Speaker 1: try to string wins together to get to the postseason. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you got Kansas City there at seven and five.
Speaker 1: They're in a six game win streak right now, they're Well,
Speaker 1: you got Pittsburgh sitting there at seven and five. You
Speaker 1: got the Buffalo Bills at six and six, the Houston
Speaker 1: Texans at six and six, the Colts at six and six.
Speaker 1: You can't worry about that if you're a player in
Speaker 1: that locker room. Me and you can talk about it
Speaker 1: all day. We can look at the schedules and things
Speaker 1: like that, but these guys gotta focus on the Titans
Speaker 1: and then go from there. But this is a fascinating
Speaker 1: FC playoffs, It really is. It really is just gonna
Speaker 1: be fun and the best part is Jet fans have
Speaker 1: meaningful games in December. Selective Insurance is your solution for
Speaker 1: all their home business and flood insurance. So business selective

Speaker 1: frows that do get a second at the goal line
Speaker 1: by Miles Rontest files gets a pick out to the
Speaker 1: fourth seniard line, and that gives the Jets a little
Speaker 1: bit of life. Now back to Winside the Jets on
Speaker 1: ninety eight point seven ESPN. Here's Larry Hardisty and Eric Gallett,
Speaker 1: and we welcome you back to CoLANG just Italian village
Speaker 1: here and called world, New Jersey. Try State Tire Pros

Speaker 1: general tires. To find your local try State Tire Pros dealer,
Speaker 1: visit try State Tire Pros dot com. All right, Larry,
Speaker 1: let's bring in uh the quarterback in the second area,
Speaker 1: that is New Jet Safety, Marcus Gilchrist Gilly. Thanks for
Speaker 1: being here, Glad to be here. Marcus, got a big
Speaker 1: crow here. Uh. Family wise, can you tell us who's
Speaker 1: joining your thought? Uh? Yeah, I have my lovely girlfriend here, Nicole,
Speaker 1: along with my daughter and uh my parents are here
Speaker 1: in town for the weekend. What's your daughter's name, Sophia? Yeah, Sophia,
Speaker 1: and she's very young. So this is the first time
Speaker 1: probably seeing dad on the radio. Right, definitely awesome, So okay,
Speaker 1: I said, you guys get with twenty points, but I
Speaker 1: really think the defense only gave up ten points looking
Speaker 1: back at this ball game because punt return and also
Speaker 1: you guys uh stood up there after there was a
Speaker 1: turnover deep in your end forcing the field goals. So
Speaker 1: the guys today on the conference call, Antonio Camari talked
Speaker 1: about this. Gilli said, in the first half, we played
Speaker 1: more zone, but then once we started going on the
Speaker 1: second half, we played a little bit more man and
Speaker 1: the outside. Can you tell me about the adjustments you
Speaker 1: guys made in the second half. Yeah, I mean that's
Speaker 1: that's what this game is all about, making adjustments on
Speaker 1: we didn't have two good of a half in the
Speaker 1: first half, we felt as a defense. Um, the coaches
Speaker 1: came in and we made the right adjustments. And I
Speaker 1: think a lot of that goes with us on the sideline.
Speaker 1: We're always coming back to the sideline discussing with each
Speaker 1: other where we seene out there on the field, and
Speaker 1: we were able to make the changes and uh and
Speaker 1: adjust on the fly. So Marcus, what what's the challenge
Speaker 1: when you have so many different moving parts. You got
Speaker 1: the injuries, you got other guys stepping up and coming
Speaker 1: into the secondary, the communication and everything that's so key.
Speaker 1: Snakes man up. H I know every team in America
Speaker 1: probably talks about it, next man up, But it's as
Speaker 1: cliche as it sounds. That's the way it has to be. Um. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: in this game, you're gonna have injuries. UM, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have things. They're gonna happen, You're gonna have up, You're
Speaker 1: gonna have up and down. So we have to have
Speaker 1: the next man up. And that's the mentality that every
Speaker 1: guy has to have on a team. But Yep, we
Speaker 1: talked about it every week. I knew he was gonna
Speaker 1: answer that like that because I talked to Gilly about
Speaker 1: this in the locker room. Obviously, you got one of
Speaker 1: that ball game without Darrell Reavers, one of the games
Speaker 1: top cornerbacks, Marcus Williams was down. You lost Kelvin Prior
Speaker 1: in the backfield with the stinger. So Tis comes in,
Speaker 1: ron Tz Miles comes in, guy was on your practice
Speaker 1: spot earlier this year and makes a momentum changing play
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. What was that like being on
Speaker 1: the field for so long and then preventing points and
Speaker 1: what do you think that did at that moment for
Speaker 1: you guys as a defensive unit and the whole team. Uh,
Speaker 1: I couldn't be more proud of than Haney guy on
Speaker 1: the team than Rontz, my Ola guy who who's just patient.
Speaker 1: He's been patiently waiting his time to be able to play.
Speaker 1: And I always talk to him about being prepared when
Speaker 1: preparation meets the opportunity, being prepared for when his opportunity
Speaker 1: become he could make the most of it. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it was good to see him make a
Speaker 1: big time play, a crucial play on fourth down fours.
Speaker 1: But I mean getting a stop like that, you know,
Speaker 1: it does want us for the team. Actually we got
Speaker 1: on the row um after that interception, so you know,
Speaker 1: all in all, I think um as a defense to
Speaker 1: come up with a stop like that was really big.
Speaker 1: Were you're tired or frustrated being on the field because
Speaker 1: a bunch of penalties on that drive and then there
Speaker 1: were times and you guys thought you had actually stopped
Speaker 1: him and unfortunately like Ts had the off side pinally,
Speaker 1: but he more than made up for with the interception.
Speaker 1: But uh, you guys are on the field forever more
Speaker 1: than eleven minutes. That's the part of the game. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. Um, that's what we trained the all
Speaker 1: season four. That's what we have O t a s
Speaker 1: fort this where we have camped for m we practice
Speaker 1: situational football all the time. So UM it's it's something that, UM,
Speaker 1: we don't want to happen, but we're prepared for it.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, Larry, He's set situational football
Speaker 1: the Giants zero three inside the red zone as far
Speaker 1: as converting with touchdowns, absolutely, and that's something this defense
Speaker 1: you have to pride yourself in being tough in the
Speaker 1: red zone, getting off the field on third down, trying
Speaker 1: to minimize the big place they're gonna happen from time
Speaker 1: to time, but just trying to minimize those big plays definitely. UM,
Speaker 1: I think the keys to having a good defense is
Speaker 1: um having third down, third down stops, creating turnovers and
Speaker 1: stopping the run. And UM, I think we were able
Speaker 1: to collectively as a defense put that all the together
Speaker 1: in the second half now for you. But what's so
Speaker 1: interesting in watching the NBA is it depending on the scheme,
Speaker 1: he could be covering a wide receiver, he could be
Speaker 1: covering a tight end, and it's just amazing to watch
Speaker 1: you and make the adjustment, and it's all about position right,
Speaker 1: just covering whoever it is. It's it's about being your skip,
Speaker 1: knowing your scheming, being in the right position. Uh definitely. Uh.
Speaker 1: The first thing playing defense, you have to know your assignment. Um.
Speaker 1: Whatever the limitations of a coverage, the limitations of a defense, um,
Speaker 1: that comes first and foremost, and that allows you to
Speaker 1: be able to play faster. So um definitely. UM. I
Speaker 1: take pride in being able to do all of those things.
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, you enter the National Football League with
Speaker 1: San Diego Chargers and your first role responsibility is playing cornerback.
Speaker 1: How does that help you now that experience playing a
Speaker 1: safety position. Well, I've done it since a young age.
Speaker 1: I started off actually playing safety, but in high school
Speaker 1: will play a corner and safety, and college I played
Speaker 1: corner and safety, So it's not that big of a
Speaker 1: deal for me. It's an easy transition for me. I've
Speaker 1: always felt like if you'r DV should be able to
Speaker 1: play any of those positions in my opinion, and I
Speaker 1: take pride in being able to do it. Markets skill
Speaker 1: crust is our guests Larry Harshty and Eric Allen since
Speaker 1: ide the Jet, your colonels on nine Dads having the ESPN.
Speaker 1: What does the Stets have been like for you coming
Speaker 1: here to the Jets this year? What has it been like? What,
Speaker 1: What's what's been the excitement for you? Uh? It's been
Speaker 1: an adjustment. Um. You you're used to being somewhere for
Speaker 1: four years and you're used to a culture, a certain culture.
Speaker 1: You used to a city. Uh, you used to your teammates,
Speaker 1: you used to your coaches, um, and you know, to
Speaker 1: come all way across the other side of the country. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's definitely adjustment. But we as football players, that's what
Speaker 1: we do. UM. When we go out on the field,
Speaker 1: we have to adjust. Um. In everyday life, you have
Speaker 1: to adjust. That's what we do. So UM, you know,
Speaker 1: I've I've enjoyed every bit of it. Your former teammates
Speaker 1: in San Diego, Now, who are are really struggling this year?
Speaker 1: Did they talk to you and say, Wow, look at
Speaker 1: where you're at right now? And Uh? Not really. We
Speaker 1: just talked about life in general and how how each
Speaker 1: other's families are doing and things like that. Who are
Speaker 1: you close with Diego? Um? I talk a lot with
Speaker 1: Brandon Flowers and Eric Weddle and god like that. That
Speaker 1: was a good secondary that. Oh yeah, absolutely was. You
Speaker 1: talk about making adjustments. What's the adjustment like with your family?
Speaker 1: How's that play? Oh yeah, that's definitely an adjustment. Happening
Speaker 1: to be a dad? Now what's that like? That? It's
Speaker 1: no other feeling like they going into what everybody always
Speaker 1: tells you. Um, you know, it's no other feeling like
Speaker 1: you know, you're you're not gonna understand until it happens,
Speaker 1: and you you kind of be like, oh yeah, but
Speaker 1: sure enough, Um when she came out, there's no feeling
Speaker 1: like it. And it's a joy. That's that's above any
Speaker 1: anything else what I do and Field cannot overshadow me
Speaker 1: being a parents and it changes things right now you
Speaker 1: look at things. You have an added responsibility. So there's
Speaker 1: even the bigger change left he put It definitely puts
Speaker 1: things in the perspective. Now you're sleeping, Uh pretty good. Uh.
Speaker 1: I got a great girlfriend there. Uh takes on a
Speaker 1: lot for me, So I'm blessed to have that. Uh.
Speaker 1: Marcus of course played college ball at Clemson. We're just
Speaker 1: talking about it. The Tigers in that c A's semifinals
Speaker 1: now earned a trip there with the defeat of the
Speaker 1: North Carolina tar Heels on Saturday night. What do you
Speaker 1: think about that team this year and how proud proud
Speaker 1: are you of your alma mater? Definitely a proud alumni. UM.
Speaker 1: I was able to go to the game when they
Speaker 1: played in Syraca at Syracuse UM, you know, just to
Speaker 1: be around the coaches and and a lot of guys
Speaker 1: that I played with being at the game. We brought
Speaker 1: back those old fieldings. So to see those guys being
Speaker 1: so successful right now, you know, can't I can't be
Speaker 1: nothing but happy. So Marcus, now you get to talked
Speaker 1: about the Giant game, you get to look at that
Speaker 1: and that's over. Now you just got get ready for Tennessee.
Speaker 1: You don't get you to enjoy these wins, right, you
Speaker 1: just move right on the Tennessee. I know you haven't
Speaker 1: really started to digress or break them down yet, but
Speaker 1: just talking about facing a rookie quarterback and Mariota who's
Speaker 1: been you know, roll heerted much publicized and what do
Speaker 1: you you know some of the things you've just seen
Speaker 1: from him. I heard about it. Well, it doesn't look
Speaker 1: like a rookie. I think he's playing pretty well. They
Speaker 1: got a lot of good players around him, a lot
Speaker 1: of good players at the skill position. UM. I think
Speaker 1: they have a really good defense as well too. So
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a challenge for every week is a
Speaker 1: challenge in the NFL. There's no gimmes. UM. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna have to put our best foot forward
Speaker 1: and and prepare the same way we have all year.
Speaker 1: Marcus Larry asked me about it before, about that locker
Speaker 1: room scene, and this is your fifth year in the
Speaker 1: National Football League. When you guys came off the field
Speaker 1: and Todd Bowls presenting that game ball to Woody Johnson
Speaker 1: and you guys had a little bit of celebration. Just
Speaker 1: how emotional was it for you guys? As players like
Speaker 1: I said, It's it's hard to come by these wins,
Speaker 1: UM in the NFL, such a competitive league, and to
Speaker 1: win it the way we wanted UM, when we we've
Speaker 1: lost a lot of close games this year and we
Speaker 1: haven't been able to finish, and to finish the way
Speaker 1: we've finished UM definitely brought a lot of electricity to
Speaker 1: that locker room after the game. What were you doing
Speaker 1: when the Giants lined up for the game time? Game time?
Speaker 1: Field goal, thinking about blocking it? And where are you?
Speaker 1: Where are you coming off? Are you off the edge? Uh?
Speaker 1: I'm cramartis off of the edge and trying to jump
Speaker 1: between the the tackle and the wing. And you're just
Speaker 1: listening because you're going forward, so obviously you're not watching
Speaker 1: the ball turn right around as soon as it happen.
Speaker 1: And who do you look for? I just went sprinting,
Speaker 1: Marcus girl, christ listen, it's victory Monday. That means you
Speaker 1: had the day off. We thank you for giving that

Speaker 1: right guard Brian Winters. Thanks for joining us tonight. Thanks
Speaker 1: for having me. Brian. Actually, before we talk a little
Speaker 1: bit of football, you said, uh, you got going with
Speaker 1: your holiday decorations today at home? Right it is. I
Speaker 1: finally got around to it. Uh it was you know,
Speaker 1: I had had a day off finally, so it was good.
Speaker 1: It was. And so what were your honeydees? What did
Speaker 1: you take care? Yeah? I actually got the tree today,
Speaker 1: so that was big. I was big. Uh, decorated the
Speaker 1: outside of the house, did a little decoration on the inside.
Speaker 1: So it feels very odd though, guys, I mean that's
Speaker 1: December and it's it was about sixty I'm not complaining, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we'll we'll be never bring this weapon about about this. So,
Speaker 1: so briant to take me back to yesterday. You're and
Speaker 1: Baba Susan, we just played the shoes and drop of
Speaker 1: the Brandon Marshall touchdown to tie the game. What's the
Speaker 1: feeling of of the offense going down the field driving
Speaker 1: trying to get that game time to Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if you heard and fits
Speaker 1: his uh you know, postgame interviews he was talking about
Speaker 1: everyone in the huddle. Their pois was. Everyone was you know, calm,
Speaker 1: and they knew we were gonna go down the field
Speaker 1: and you know, be successful in that drive. And you know,
Speaker 1: obviously it showed out and you know we we everything
Speaker 1: fell into place. You know, all the parts were rolling.
Speaker 1: So it was great to be a part of. What's
Speaker 1: it like for you as an offensive lineman when you're
Speaker 1: in no situations where hey, listen, we gotta score, we
Speaker 1: gotta score quickly. So it's all about temple right now.
Speaker 1: It is, and you know, you just go back to basics.
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta do everything that you know you
Speaker 1: were coached to do, and you know, take care of
Speaker 1: your assignment and if all leavin me and take care
Speaker 1: of their assignment on the field. You know, we should
Speaker 1: be successful. Is that difficult for you because I know,
Speaker 1: you guys up front, you like to power off the
Speaker 1: ball and attack, but at that point, you know the
Speaker 1: guys are coming at you. But also with that being said,
Speaker 1: giants certainly wear down. I think late in that ball
Speaker 1: game they did. You know, they have a you know,
Speaker 1: a very talented front, you know, with Jenkins and Pierre
Speaker 1: Paul obviously and uh you know all front. You know,
Speaker 1: the whole front is, you know, obviously a great front.
Speaker 1: So we came into that game, you know, obviously you
Speaker 1: know expecting you know, Pierre Paul and you know Jenkins
Speaker 1: be moving around, and we just had to stay poised
Speaker 1: and do what we had to do to complete the game.
Speaker 1: And you know, it obviously worked out for us. From
Speaker 1: a confidence level. What is it like when you're in
Speaker 1: that huddle and you've got a guy like Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: who has been there before, he knows what to do,
Speaker 1: and he just there's gonna be a certain calm in
Speaker 1: the huddle, even though at the time, just like we
Speaker 1: got to get it going, as he said that, we
Speaker 1: gotta get this ball down the field. He comes in
Speaker 1: the huddle, you know, smiling, being himself, just like how
Speaker 1: he is you know in the start of the game.
Speaker 1: You know, his poisesnbelievable because you know, if you want
Speaker 1: to go to the huddle, you know, you want to
Speaker 1: see the leader, you know, being calm, so it makes
Speaker 1: you feel calm. So you know, obviously when I see him,
Speaker 1: you know, the guy who's throwing the ball and you
Speaker 1: know has you know, the biggest job on the field,
Speaker 1: poison calm. You know, it makes us feel a lot better.
Speaker 1: What are you thinking when he takes off and run
Speaker 1: as he's have to do at times, that fourth time
Speaker 1: conversion with one of the don't get hurt. You know
Speaker 1: he slid once yesterday though he got him credit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know one time he took a do you know
Speaker 1: dive first and he was a little scary. You know,
Speaker 1: I was right, there was a good collision, but he
Speaker 1: got up. He was good. Brian. Does he ever have
Speaker 1: any uh moments of levity in the huddle? You know
Speaker 1: there's an old Joe Montana story in the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: where he looked it off into alignment in the huddle
Speaker 1: and say, hey, guys, they're Sean Candy. Yeah, yeah, any
Speaker 1: moments like that, No, nothing too bad. But you know
Speaker 1: he'll come in like sometimes during practice you don't have
Speaker 1: some jokes in the huddle. You know, he always does
Speaker 1: this thing where he says, eyes, we all gotta like
Speaker 1: look at him, real serious and whatever. But even in
Speaker 1: that situation, he came into hollow and he was looking around.
Speaker 1: He was like, hey eyes. You know, it was cool,
Speaker 1: like it brought us back down a little bit and
Speaker 1: we weren't nervous. And you know, football is a fun game.
Speaker 1: You know, you can't put too much stress on it.
Speaker 1: But you know, obviously it's a stressful moment. But you know,
Speaker 1: like you said, we got the job done. So field
Speaker 1: goal Giants, field goal team lining up, You're on the sideline.
Speaker 1: What's going through your well? I didn't know this coming up,
Speaker 1: but I it was the first field goal he's he's missed,
Speaker 1: and you know, obviously, now I was I was ready,
Speaker 1: you know, I know our defense, you know I was
Speaker 1: gonna do everything in their power to stop him. And
Speaker 1: you know, I was just on the sidelines, just you know,
Speaker 1: praying for the best, pacing back and forth. What has
Speaker 1: changed this year for you guys? Up front. As far
Speaker 1: as blocking schemes are concerned, you know, I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's so much blocking schemes. I think it's more,
Speaker 1: you know, how comfortable we all with playing with each other.
Speaker 1: You know, Uh, obviously we gotta a new addition at
Speaker 1: left guard, you know, and um with James Carpenter. But
Speaker 1: I just feel like everyone's more comfortable where they are now,
Speaker 1: and you know, the positions that we're in. But you know,
Speaker 1: obviously we love the scheme that we're you know, blocking
Speaker 1: for and you know, a lot more power, a lot
Speaker 1: more downhill running, and it's great because that's step of
Speaker 1: players that we have on the offensive line and you know,
Speaker 1: just big physical guys. What did that Miami game do
Speaker 1: for you? Obviously that was the first time Willie was
Speaker 1: hurt this year. Willie Cologne eventually placed on an injury reserve.
Speaker 1: But you know, you're throwing in the fire, no doubt
Speaker 1: about it. But this team has confidence in you, and
Speaker 1: you went out and handled yourself very well against one
Speaker 1: of the top defensive interior players all football and the DOMKINSU. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I I'm gonna take it just like any
Speaker 1: other game you know, I've played against him before, and um,
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of good players out there.
Speaker 1: Just happened he was the one in front of me
Speaker 1: at that time. So that's you know, I just handled
Speaker 1: my business. You didn't handle your business. And Chris every
Speaker 1: went off in that game. And then then when Willie
Speaker 1: is uh put on the shelf. I mean, you've played
Speaker 1: really well. And I'll tell you what. The Jets through
Speaker 1: the ball a lot yesterday because they had to right
Speaker 1: especially late, and when the Giants hold the ball for
Speaker 1: more than eleven minutes, you don't have a lot of time,
Speaker 1: so you gotta throw the football a lot. But that
Speaker 1: being said, Ivory still average four point seven yards and carry.
Speaker 1: Yesterday they only had ton carries off. Yeah, what's it
Speaker 1: like on the offensive lines, alignment, the defenses on the field,
Speaker 1: the living minutes, as he said, living plus match, You're
Speaker 1: just like, we gotta get back on the field. What's
Speaker 1: that like being on the sideline just waiting for the
Speaker 1: get back out there? Yeah, it's you know, it's obviously
Speaker 1: you're looking over the playbook, you're looking at you know,
Speaker 1: their fronts and everything, but there's only so much you
Speaker 1: can do when you're waiting out there. You're just hoping
Speaker 1: that the defense can get off the field, you know,
Speaker 1: because obviously you know you don't want them on the field.
Speaker 1: You want you want to offense be on the field
Speaker 1: the majority of the time. So, um, you know, just
Speaker 1: like you said, paying back and forth, what do you
Speaker 1: think about being in the situation right now? Seven and
Speaker 1: five four games left? You guys right now? Your head
Speaker 1: coach said it today Top Bowls. We control our own destiny. True,
Speaker 1: I you know, totally agree with that. He tells us
Speaker 1: that every day, and um, you know, I think everything
Speaker 1: in front of us is all tangible, it's all all
Speaker 1: can happen. You know. We like, like he said, we
Speaker 1: control our own destiny, and we're gonna take a one
Speaker 1: game at a time and not look forward or you know,
Speaker 1: look back. Probably what's been the secret that you guys
Speaker 1: have been able to and yesterday was really a rarity
Speaker 1: that fits got roughed up early with a couple of sacks,
Speaker 1: But you guys have really protected him very nicely through
Speaker 1: the season. What's been the secret and keeping him up right,
Speaker 1: keeping this jersey plant. You know, it's just learning and studying.
Speaker 1: You know, we get together as a unit, you know,
Speaker 1: after meetings and go over the fronts and go over
Speaker 1: the defenses and see the schemes that they're doing, especially
Speaker 1: on third downs, and we just you know, try to
Speaker 1: do everything in our power to you know, make things
Speaker 1: easier for him. And obviously having Nick Mangled up front,
Speaker 1: you know, guy was unbelievably smart and know a game
Speaker 1: better than anyone that I've ever met. So it's good
Speaker 1: to have someone like m and be surrounded by other
Speaker 1: great players and you know, just to be able to
Speaker 1: talk to other people and just get a feel. Do
Speaker 1: you agree with that old sudden sentiment that Offensive Line
Speaker 1: is one of the closer knit groups in that locker room.
Speaker 1: I would say so. I would definitely say so. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm real close with Brenno and um Nick and everyone
Speaker 1: on the line. You know, we all have a you know,
Speaker 1: a different bond than other people. But you know, like
Speaker 1: I said, you know, it goes as we go. So
Speaker 1: you know, if us five aren't working well together, then
Speaker 1: you know, I got a problem. I know, you guys
Speaker 1: don't like to commit punallies. Nobody wants to commit penalties.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying I support this, but I did
Speaker 1: like what I saw a big carp. Yesterday, Brenna was
Speaker 1: getting into it. He was engaged with a lineman, somebody
Speaker 1: was on top of him, and then you saw a
Speaker 1: big carp come out of nowhere. And that's one where
Speaker 1: I'm like, you can take the fifteen on everybody. You're
Speaker 1: protecting your gut a Solda, is you gotta protect your brother? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So you know, it's it's interesting because listening to the
Speaker 1: top bows in the post game talking about how we've
Speaker 1: been I've been preaching about the team to come together
Speaker 1: to finish. When you look back and you see that finish,
Speaker 1: what's that feeling like to to finish, to come from behind,
Speaker 1: to get a win like that, when you know that
Speaker 1: you've had some games maybe if you had done that earlier,
Speaker 1: you've been a little better positions, and you know it's
Speaker 1: great because you know, obviously doesn't always work out that way.
Speaker 1: Um So actually going through and you know, believing in
Speaker 1: one another and going out there and finishing a game,
Speaker 1: it's it's unbelievable. There's no words for it. To bring
Speaker 1: team closer to you feel a little close. Yeah, what's
Speaker 1: your comfort level with the guys up front? Because that's
Speaker 1: one thing that all you guys to a man, we're
Speaker 1: talking about early on in the training camp. Not a
Speaker 1: lot of young guys up front. If you think about it,
Speaker 1: you got an elite for a few years. Now, you've
Speaker 1: got mang Goals has been around the Breaker, Shaw, Fergus
Speaker 1: and Breno. It's his second year here. James Carpenter, he's
Speaker 1: got big time experience, playing a couple of Super Bowls
Speaker 1: the past couple of seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. Yeah
Speaker 1: and yeah, like you said, everyone has a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of years in the NFL. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I I haven't really done the math, but I mean
Speaker 1: the Brickshaw has been in for ten, Nick's been in
Speaker 1: for ten, Brandon has been in for nine, car five
Speaker 1: and I'm three. I'm so I'm the youngest on the
Speaker 1: offensive line. So you know, they have so much experience.
Speaker 1: You know, I get to learn from them every day
Speaker 1: and it's it's really a blessing. I couldn't be in
Speaker 1: a better situation. Brandon got Tennessee coming up now. Brandon
Speaker 1: Marshall was a guest on The Michael k Show in
Speaker 1: the New York Yet Spotlight and uh, Brandon said, this
Speaker 1: is not the Tennessee team that don't look at the record.
Speaker 1: This is a team that's better than their record. As
Speaker 1: you get to this time of the season, is that
Speaker 1: what you have to do? Put the record aside, focusing
Speaker 1: on what you're seeing on film exactly because everyone's playing,
Speaker 1: you know, to prove themselves. It's really not about the record.
Speaker 1: It's about how they want to finish. You know. Late
Speaker 1: season is where you gotta finish. And that's what every
Speaker 1: team is trying to do right now. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: guys have a great opportunity in front of UH yourselves
Speaker 1: right now. And and everybody in the locker room knows that.
Speaker 1: And uh, I asked Gilly about this and Larry and
Speaker 1: I obviously talked about it, UH to open the show.
Speaker 1: But how emotional was that lock room? Like you're saying,
Speaker 1: this is your third year in the National Football League,
Speaker 1: but just coming off the field, what was that like
Speaker 1: for you as a player with your brothers? It was
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. I haven't been in AH, you know, you
Speaker 1: know something part of that since I've been in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and it was you know, great, UH to experience that,
Speaker 1: especially against you know, what they call arrival. Um. So
Speaker 1: it was nice, and it was you know, it's something
Speaker 1: that I'll always cherish. Yeah, Brian, thanks for a couple
Speaker 1: of minutes. Go back, put the tree up now, put
Speaker 1: the legs on the tree and then everything will be set.
Speaker 1: I'll appreciate, right, Brian. Genal over to the perfect setting
Speaker 1: for a fund with France, fine food and drank. The
Speaker 1: Massion Hotel, Rod Steakhouse and UK's Red Dog is located
Speaker 1: on Madison Avenue in Morristown. Won't we return on this
Speaker 1: edition of Inside the Jets. Well, I guess we'll go
Speaker 1: to our Twitter mail bag at a New York Jets
Speaker 1: at hardness to and ESPN will take your questions. Next ESPN.
Speaker 1: He takes the snap, drops back under presser. He'll scramble,
Speaker 1: He'll run. He's got the first down bits Pat flicked
Speaker 1: out of it. Twenty two did he runs fright, picks
Speaker 1: up the six he needed and about eight more. Now
Speaker 1: back to Inside the Jets on ninety eight point seven ESPN.
Speaker 1: Here's Larry Hardisty and Eric Gallen and it's the final
Speaker 1: segment of this Monday nightition of Inside the Jets. Here
Speaker 1: on ESPN, Els had to twitterland and get some questions
Speaker 1: from our jet fans my first one, and it's ironic
Speaker 1: that somebody asked this. They asked, is Jeff Coumberland going
Speaker 1: to get involved in the offense at all at the
Speaker 1: tight end? And yesterday Kellen Davis got the reception at
Speaker 1: the tight end spot. So when you look at how
Speaker 1: chan Gilly lines up his offense, he he loves to
Speaker 1: have his tight ends kind of in the blocking mode.
Speaker 1: But he had what five wide and on a couple
Speaker 1: of occasions with with three four receivers and either blah
Speaker 1: power or whis I be lined up? So he likes
Speaker 1: to spread the field a little bit. But I do
Speaker 1: think there will be occasions at certain schemes where you
Speaker 1: will have a chance to see the time that making
Speaker 1: some place. Yeah, he certainly does mix things up, Larry.
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at the play counts right now. Colin
Speaker 1: Davis did play thirty five snaps in Cumberland. That's the
Speaker 1: seasonal low two snaps. Uh, yesterday, I think everything's game
Speaker 1: planing specific. You're gonna see, uh things change here as
Speaker 1: we moved down to stretch. But yeah, Todd Bowls was
Speaker 1: asked about that today. He said, is nothing that Jeff
Speaker 1: was not doing it was just certain looks they wanted
Speaker 1: to get out there on the football field yesterday. And
Speaker 1: like you talked about before, and you know, and people
Speaker 1: ask both of us about the tightime position all the
Speaker 1: time while I'm looking at Quincy and NeuRA. He played
Speaker 1: fifty three snaps Sunday against the Giants, and the Jets
Speaker 1: consider him a tweener, not really just a receiver, but
Speaker 1: a guy who can help you as far as a
Speaker 1: block or a big receiver six to two pounds, So
Speaker 1: you gotta keep that in mind. Another thing is, we
Speaker 1: know what happened. Jason Marrow didn't have a season. He
Speaker 1: got hurt early place that a season under injured reserve,
Speaker 1: so he can't come off the season under injured reserve
Speaker 1: right now. Uh So, obviously it's Kellen Davis, who primarily
Speaker 1: is a blocker and Jeff Comberland, who possesses tremendous speed.
Speaker 1: But the Jets right now are in an offense that
Speaker 1: favors getting the ball to the receivers and their backs
Speaker 1: out of the backfield that's where we're at, and having
Speaker 1: them make place. And the Numbe had a big catch.
Speaker 1: I wanted the drives to keep a drive alive and
Speaker 1: he's played well since he's been back. So I think
Speaker 1: that that versatility when you look at what they've done,
Speaker 1: even though the defensive side of the ball e a
Speaker 1: of late, they're going for speed. The more speed they
Speaker 1: can get on the field at one time, that's what
Speaker 1: they're trying to do to try to you know, cause
Speaker 1: some mismatches in their advantage. Yeah, you know. And that's
Speaker 1: one thing, uh that we can talk about here real
Speaker 1: briefly is that Top Bowls gave an update on the
Speaker 1: Jets injuries today. Durrell Rievs has missed the past two games.
Speaker 1: He was at MetLife Stadium yesterday. Bull said he is
Speaker 1: able to do some light activity right now. He remains
Speaker 1: a concussion protocol. So we'll have to see maybe Durrell
Speaker 1: Rivers can rejoin the secondary this week. You know, it's
Speaker 1: very early in the week yet, but it looks like
Speaker 1: the Jets mike lose Mike Cattapano for the season and
Speaker 1: he's a speed guy who they were using at defensive ent.
Speaker 1: But you know, we continue to see Sheldon Richardson moved
Speaker 1: all over the place outside linebacker, sometimes moving inside on
Speaker 1: in sub packages, on passing downs, playing d N and
Speaker 1: then Lorenzo Malden. The Jets love his emergence, his continuing development. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, you think about Malden, He's got three sacks
Speaker 1: this year. Vic Beasley going into you Esterday's game for Atlanta.
Speaker 1: This is not a knock on Big Beasley, but I'm
Speaker 1: just saying he was a top ten pick. He had
Speaker 1: two sacks, and Malden had played maybe a quarter of
Speaker 1: the snaps that a guy like Beasley had. So you're
Speaker 1: gonna see malden snaps continue to increase in the Jets
Speaker 1: like what they see out of him. But yes, definitely
Speaker 1: getting more speed defensively, and you're seeing Aaron Henderson get
Speaker 1: a lot of run uh as part of that inside
Speaker 1: linebacker rotation along with Tamario Davis. I know, much like you,
Speaker 1: I'm always asked Devin Smith he was great last week?
Speaker 1: What happened to him this week? And it's a situation
Speaker 1: where the scheme dictates where you go. If Devin Smith
Speaker 1: is not open, you're not throwing it to Devil. You're
Speaker 1: not throwing it to Devin Smith. You know, if he's covered,
Speaker 1: you go the other way. When whenever defensive coordinators see speed,
Speaker 1: that makes them react right the way, and what they
Speaker 1: try to do is take that speed away from you.
Speaker 1: And we always talk about where's that third receiver coming from. Well, yesterday,
Speaker 1: the third receiver, as you mentioned earlier, was Blah Power.
Speaker 1: Last week the third receiver was Devin Smith. We'll see
Speaker 1: what the dervacy was gonna be against Tennessee on Sunday. Right,
Speaker 1: Jeremy Curley is suffering from a migraine, and you know,
Speaker 1: and it could be any one of a number of
Speaker 1: people right now, but uh, you know Devin Smith. You know,
Speaker 1: you love to see the consistency and the Jets are
Speaker 1: eventually they think they're confident that they're gonna get there
Speaker 1: with him. Is it gonna happen in two thousand and fifteen,
Speaker 1: We don't know. But that doesn't mean he can can
Speaker 1: not be a factor here down the stretch, because, like
Speaker 1: you said, you have to pay attention to him. And
Speaker 1: one of these times they're gonna hit on a vertical
Speaker 1: route down the field and then that's gonna back up
Speaker 1: the safety and then that means, oh, can I go
Speaker 1: over the top on Brandon Marshall every down? Or do
Speaker 1: I have to sneak a peek over here at Devin Smith.
Speaker 1: And also you still have Eric Decker who will continues
Speaker 1: to do day image whether he's playing outside or inside.
Speaker 1: That was his first a hundred yard receiving game of
Speaker 1: two thousand and fifteen. The Jets have a great tandem
Speaker 1: at receiver here, and we have not seen this in
Speaker 1: a long time. Yeah, I mean a long time. And
Speaker 1: they have a quarterback right now who's in rhythm, who's
Speaker 1: getting rid of the football, who knows the offense, who's
Speaker 1: very confident, who the players believe in. So you got
Speaker 1: a good mix. Now you gotta clean some things up
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball and on special teams,
Speaker 1: and then you know, Tennessee, like you're you guys were
Speaker 1: mentioning to Marcus Skillchris was here today saying that this kid,
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariotta, does not look like a rookie quarterback. Here's
Speaker 1: some stats for you. Sixty passer, nineteen touchdowns, only nine interceptions,
Speaker 1: Only nine interceptions for a rookie Larry He's been sacked
Speaker 1: thirty times. Though the Jets are gonna have opportunities to
Speaker 1: get after him. What you don't want to happen on
Speaker 1: Sunday is for him to escape, to break contain against Jacksonville,
Speaker 1: he showed his athletic ability not only throwing the football
Speaker 1: but he's an inaccurate pastor, but also breaking contain, tucking
Speaker 1: the ball under and he can get after you can't
Speaker 1: let Mariotta get out there in open field. He is
Speaker 1: a talented player. Him and Jamis Winston are playing tremendous football.
Speaker 1: The judge won't see any of Winston this year, but
Speaker 1: though both of those rookies have impressed me this year.
Speaker 1: They have. And and the thing about Marioda was when
Speaker 1: you watched him in college, everybody was wide open. So
Speaker 1: my concern was, listen, this is the NFL, and nobody's
Speaker 1: gonna be that wide open. Is he going to be
Speaker 1: able to fit the ball into a small space and
Speaker 1: you keep the turnovers down? And as you mentioned from
Speaker 1: his stats, he's been able to do that. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated to see what Todd Bulls does here this
Speaker 1: week because him alongside defensive coordinator Casey Rodgers against Eli Any,
Speaker 1: they said early on, we're gonna back off a little bit,
Speaker 1: We're gonna play zone in the second half, we're gonna
Speaker 1: man up on the outside, and you know they're gonna
Speaker 1: throw a lot of different looks at the rookie quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: and I I imagine here they're calling for good weather
Speaker 1: on Sunday, a great turnout from the Jets fans, and
Speaker 1: I think people are gonna be pumped because they know
Speaker 1: what's on the line here, and you know, you want
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterback to have a difficult time communicating with
Speaker 1: everybody out there, and if the Jets can get in
Speaker 1: an early lead and they can start dictating here because
Speaker 1: this is a Tennessee team who does have some talent,
Speaker 1: but honestly, it's a three and nine ball club and
Speaker 1: you're bringing a three and nine ball club into your stadium.
Speaker 1: This isn't take care of business kind of game. Absolutely
Speaker 1: nice job, partner. Thanks Let see you next Monday. That
Speaker 1: wraps up this edition of Inside the Jet Special. Thanks
Speaker 1: for I guess Brian Winners and Marcus Gilchrist and their
Speaker 1: families who came out tonight. Thank you also to the
Speaker 1: folks who came by to enjoy some food here at Colandos.

Speaker 1: matter of fact, Trevor Scales has what you need to
