Get your listening to the 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:24.760 Official Jets Podcast Jets three sixty production. Only two weeks 0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:28.760 left in the two thousand seventeen NFL season, Ethan Greenberg 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.680 and Eric Allen here bringing you another installment of the 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:35.519 Official Jets Podcast. Game for you This Sunday e a 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:39.080 Jet Chargers, but let's talk about last Sunday for a moment. 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.960 The Jets fall in the big easy but great effort 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.680 down there, great efford, great fight. This is something we've 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:50.240 seen from Todd Bowls Club throughout the two thousand seventeen season. 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.720 I think that a lot of people were wandering after 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:56.960 the Jets went to Denver and we're shut out twenty 0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:58.920 three and nothing on the one side of the affair 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:02.120 where the wheel about to fall off, And know they 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:05.399 weren't because Todd Bull said all week I got confidence 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:07.360 on my guys were gonna go out there and we're 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:11.679 going down there to get a victory. And indeed the 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.880 Jets had an opportunity to secure a victory. But that's 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.640 a tough place to win it. That is a very 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.839 good football team, that is a Hall of Fame quarterback 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:25.480 and ultimately they fell short. Outside of weeks two and 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.520 fourteen against the Denver Broncos and the Buffalo Bills in 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.160 Week two, the Jets have lost by an average of 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:35.480 seven points per game. So go one possession games, right, 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.320 So you're five and nine, and then we're gonna look 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.080 back at the season a couple of weeks on this podcast, 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.240 and we're gonna say the Jets very easily could have 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.640 been maybe nine and seven or eight and eight or whatever. 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.360 But with all that being said, I think there is 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.640 a confidence building within the locker room after the game. 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:55.320 You could feel it, you could sense it, you could 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.920 hear it. Jermaine Curse, That's something that I'm always going 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:03.240 to come back to. All he said, one more five games. 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:08.560 You surpassed your guys expectations, and I think the biggest 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:10.280 thing is for us then I'd be a fluid by that, 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.760 you know, So, like we gotta our standard and expectation 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.120 has gotta be higher, and we gotta open hold ourselves 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.720 to the expectation of standard. But when you look at 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.680 game film on Monday and you watched the Jets play 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.240 the Saints, you say, there were a lot of good 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.480 things that happened in this game, and you can immediately 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:35.600 point to the three turnovers on defense. Leonard Williams recorded 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.160 his first career in exception dr Crows Drew Brees under pressure. 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.840 Here does he pros over the it's intercepted, picked up 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:46.400 Leonard Williams against Drew Brees. Jamal Adams with a force fumble. 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.239 Three strops to throw, looks like Throse wh Comba makes 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.840 the catch up the ten, The ball pops out Jaball 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.280 Adams force the fumble, The Jets up the ball recovered 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:59.239 by Jordan Jenkins and Buster Screen with another force fumble 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.880 and he recovered that. Well, let's not bury the lead here. 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.400 Let's talk about Bryce Petty for a moment, because this 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.440 was his first start of the two thousand seventeen season, 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.919 his fifth career start. How do you think he fared 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:11.720 and what do you see out of him from a 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.440 growth perspective from last year to this year? And I 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.239 think it's tough to say what did you see from 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.639 him as far as a growth perspective because it's been 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:24.760 such a small sample size for one game and a 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.160 tough place to play, Yeah, a tough place to play, 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.200 And I think he did some good thing. I think 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:33.040 he missed some passes that he would like to have back. 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:37.480 He's said that. I think he talks about footwork and 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.640 at times that, hey, there are certain throws that I 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.320 have to be on the money with a hundred percent 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.120 of the time, and he missed a few of those. 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.320 He didn't make a couple of beautiful throws. A play 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.800 down the sideline to Eli McGuire, back to throws, Bryce 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:53.800 Petty looks right, throws a bomb down the right side, 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.960 look for McGuire, He's got it. H'side the fifteen Brice 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.000 Petty throws it right down the chip. Then late in 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.760 the game, the throw to Chad Hanson. Petty back to thront, 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.720 pumps once, looks left, throws down the sideline for Hanson 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.600 and somehow he made the catch. What a catch by 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:16.200 the rookie chat Hanson. So there were times where Bryce flashed, uh. 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.800 There were other times where you would say he's struggling 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.760 a little bit. I think it's hard to evaluate Bryce 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.760 and make a definitive judgment on what he is or 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.320 what he isn't based on one game Greece. What I 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.279 liked from Bryce Petty and he said this is that 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.839 he felt a lot more confident, and I thought you 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:38.120 could see that watching him Sunday. I in particular, I 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:41.719 think about his first down scramble for thirteen yards back 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:43.920 to throw his price, Petty steps up in the pocket, 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:45.680 He'll take off and run. He's got the first rounded 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.960 more to the forty to and the Jets have a 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.640 first step. When he felt a little bit of pressure, 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.720 he stepped up and out of the pocket and he 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.480 took off. And that was decisive on his part. And 0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.080 last year something that I took aways He tended to 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.159 almost pump fake and second guess himself, and I think 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.760 he would tell you the same thing. So I liked 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.440 seeing that and then moving forward now he ate a 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.920 Sunday is what are you expecting from him? Now that 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.080 he has a week under his belt, And I think 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.279 it'll be better against the Chargers. I think the Jets 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.559 will be better this week, and I thought they played 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.400 pretty well in New Orleans. They have proven to be 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.400 a better home team this season, There's no doubt about it. 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.279 You just look at the records. The Jets are four 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.279 and three at My Life Stadium, and they're not one 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.120 and six on the road. I think that the Jets 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.000 will open up the playbook a little bit. The other 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.800 thing that Bryce has to do, Bryce, but he has 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.320 to do this week is that he can't get so 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.719 many balls bedded down at the line. Cameron Jordan's had 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.320 and he's a great player, but he he had four 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.960 pds and you think of the one on the two 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.560 point conversion that really squandered an opportunity. So you have 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:56.680 to make sure the throwing lane is there. While the 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.920 Saints had one guy where you're like, wow, he's really 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.640 Ellion disrupt her off the edge. The Chargers hif too. 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:06.560 They got Joey Bosa, NonStop motor of physical freak, and 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.160 then Melvin Igraham's not bad in his own right. So 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:13.400 the Jets tackles have a big time assignment this week. 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.320 But I think there's gonna be a time this week 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.240 that Petty will have an opportunity to get the ball 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.680 down the field of Robby Anderson. Twelve targets is five 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.960 catches against the Saints. I would not be surprised if 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.320 they hit on a long one this week. And stemming 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:34.520 back to last preseason, Petty and Anderson have Anderson led 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.960 the NFL in preseason yards from primarily with Petty throwing 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.360 him the rock. And then when Petty first started in 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.480 Week ten last season, Robby Anderson had that fifty two 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.680 yard reception up the sidelines. So we'll have to see 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.760 what happens in Bryce Petty's first home start. Since we're 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.880 talking a lot about Bryce Petty here on the Official 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:57.120 Jets Podcast game preview, Chad penny ten, it's time to 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.840 bring you in. What did you think about Petty's for 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:04.520 start of two thousand seventeen, the fifth start of his career. Well, Eric, 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.120 I thought it was kind of difficult to evaluate. I 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.280 just when I look at the performance, I do see 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.120 some opportunities there for the Jet to really makes um 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.440 some hay and do some damage there. In seventeen ball game, 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:22.040 you have to uncharacteristic Saints turnovers and the offense was 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.640 able to produce points in that time period, and that 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:26.760 to me was the difference in the ball game. And 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.560 when I watched Bryce play, I see some good things. 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.120 One thing I'm still concerned about is just the accuracy 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.720 being able to hit those easy ones. There's probably four 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:40.880 or five easy passes to make easy completions that some 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:44.080 of them had actually happened on first down. It creates 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:48.400 easier second and third down opportunities. Uh, keeps drives alive, 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:50.680 just kind of makes things a little bit smoother. When 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:54.640 you're unable to make those makes it so difficult. You 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.400 do see, Bryce makes some good throws down the field, 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.080 some macu throws down the field. Players making plays on 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.800 the field, but those are sporadic. When you don't hit 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:05.720 your gimmes, you've gotta be able to be a dent 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.600 on your gimmes with them, make those bigger plays down 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.880 the field much more meaningful and impactful. Bryce talks about 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:15.880 improving his footwork for this weekend's match up against the Chargers. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.040 What did you see out of his footwork and what 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.720 is the importance of footwork, especially on game day? Well, 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.040 the most important aspect of your footwork is timing. The 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.880 quarterback must listen to his feet, which allows him to 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:31.240 move through his progression and doesn't keep him on a 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:35.240 receiver too long or get off of a receiver too quickly. 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.200 And so when I think about footwork, I think about 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:41.120 a quarterback being able to listen to their feet, move 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:45.600 through their progressions efficiently, and being able to deliver the football. 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.880 And I can see exactly what Bryce is saying as 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.079 far as footworks and not his footwork and tell him 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.360 to move off of it. Uh, And he's getting to 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.560 his next progression a little bit late because he's not 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.079 allowing his feet to work for him. That's that's a 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.959 struggle for him because typic Clee and the system like 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:04.400 he played uh in Baylor, if it works, really not 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:07.439 that important in my opinion, And so when you get 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:11.160 into the NFL, so it work is extremely important because 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.800 of the pass rush, because of the windows closing down 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.760 so quickly. Your feet really help you out in your 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.199 decision making. Do you anticipate a better performance this week? Now, 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.760 have his second full week of practice, getting the reps, 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:28.920 having that continual communication with John Morton and Jeremy Bates 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.240 and other weeks to go through the game plan. Now 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.880 he gets an opportunity to play at home the Jets 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.040 throughout the year, as you know, you had have played 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.599 it very well, not Life Stadium. First of all, I 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:41.320 would hope that the team would come out with the energy. 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:43.600 I felt like they came out with a really good energy. Um, 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:47.200 I guess the Saints and played some solid football. Certainly 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:48.920 wasn't a team that was looking to pack it in 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.440 or anything like that, and you hope that the team 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.400 does the same thing this week, uh facing the Chargers 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:57.640 team that does have playoffs hopes, and this is another 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:01.560 good measuring stick game of for the Jets and and 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.280 for Bryson to be able to make some improvement in 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.760 a lot of different areas. Being at home certainly helps, 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.160 and you would hope to see some improvement and really 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.880 see a Jets team kind of take control of a 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.239 ball game. What do you think of the Jets defensive 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:18.800 efforts down in the Big easy because coming into Sunday's game, 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:22.000 the Saints were tied for fourth and giveaways. Drew Brees 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.800 only had six interceptions on the year, and the Jets 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:28.959 defense forced three takeaways. Well, I thought it was a 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:32.319 a winnable performance. I wouldn't call it a win performance 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:34.880 because it wasn't com thirty one. Of course, the last 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.920 touchdown you could say didn't count. But it was a 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.520 winnable performance, meaning that they performed well enough to give 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.120 the just a chance to win. And I felt like 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.720 the offense didn't compliment those three turnovers and being able 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.280 to turn those into points, especially there in the third quarter. 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.000 That was the chance for the Jet to really put 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.280 the Saints on their heels, make them nervous. Uh, And 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.320 they just weren't able to do that, and so that 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.520 that was disappointing. UM. I still think that there are 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.440 some mistakes being made that are allowing some plays that 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.000 should be just some screens and things like that that 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:10.600 maybe seven eight yard games turned into big games, and 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:12.679 so that's that's something that has to be cleaned up. 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.680 But there's still some really good things happening. I thought 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:19.120 Leonard Williams play was unbelievable. What a great athletic play. 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.839 He just continues to show his worth. Uh. Game after game. 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.320 Safeties are very aggressive and run support and making really 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.080 good plays there. And so as far as the team 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.360 defensive effort, uh, they certainly did some things to keep 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.680 the Jets in the ball game and and allow this 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:36.319 game to go to into the fourth quarter with a 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.120 chance to win. I want to get your thoughts on 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.240 tie bowls here. He said after the game that we're 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.920 gonna keep fighting. Obviously this is gonna turn. I believe 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.000 we have a good core group. We just gotta eliminate 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.920 some of the mistakes and some of the situational football 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.120 things and We're gonna be okay. With that being said, 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:54.240 I wanted to get your thoughts on that. Also, the 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:58.239 Jets waving Jeremy Curley, he was suspended four games, eligible 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.280 to come off suspension for getting some more playing time 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:05.199 for Chad Hanson and our Darius Stewart. And then finally 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:08.680 Mohammad Wilkerson did not make the trip to New Orleans 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:12.280 with the team. Todd Bull said, we're dealing with that 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.640 as an internal matter. I can let you know later on. 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:19.599 So a few things all involving a coach Bulls in 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.920 what he's trying to establish here with the culture. Well, 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.760 I think as a Jet fan, I think you have 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:32.800 to respect how coach Bowls conducts his business internally externally 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:37.040 on the field. He is extremely consistent, and I think 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.880 when you're looking at an organization and you're looking for 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.640 stability and long term success, that's what you're looking for. 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.000 To head coach. He's not going to ride an emotional 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.120 role coaster and it's very easy to do that in 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.800 this market and he has resisted that and so I 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:55.360 respect him for that. Um, you know, the NFL, like 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.240 Coach Parcels used to say, the train that keeps moving 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.120 and you're either on it or you're off up it. 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.400 And so when it comes to players like Wilkerson, what 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.680 comes players like Curly If you're not handling your business 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:10.079 off fulfilled, this train is leaving. That's how professional sports works, 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:13.600 especially in the NFL. But I when I look at 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:15.640 Coach Bowls and what he's been able to do, I 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.400 look at the first two years of his three year stint, 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.040 where the Jet three able to win ten games, and 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.600 then the second year just kind of blew up. He 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:25.720 did what he needed to do, the organization did what 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.800 they needed to do as far as push the reset 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.760 buttons um and revamp this roster. And so when I 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.400 look at it, I look at this is really year 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:39.800 one for Coach Bowls and rebuilding this team and creating 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.160 a playoff contender. I don't really look at this year 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.920 as combining it with the first two years. I pushed 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.800 the reset button and see where the team is, the 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.840 organization is, and I think it's on an upward trend. 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:55.040 And Uh, I feel really good about where Coach Bowles is, 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.920 where what he's done, how this team is playing, how 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:00.760 they respond to him. Uh, the pieces that he has 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.320 in place with his staff, as well as the pieces 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.880 that are in place with the team. UM. And it's 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:10.400 not based upon setimo expectations. I don't look at and go, well, 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.000 they were expected only to win one or two games 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:14.840 and they beat It has nothing to do with that. 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.640 It has to do with the work that's been put 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.480 in the games that have been played, the effort that's there, 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.480 and and you look at the plays that have been made, 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.200 and so that's what I believe. How do you expect 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.800 this team to rebound this weekend against the Los Angeles 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:33.080 Chargers team that's come across country in week sixteen, and 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.880 how do you go about attacking these guys? Well, I 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.400 think the charges of ball. He's struggled on the East Coast, UM, 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.760 and I think this is a winnable game to focus on. 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.440 Melvin Gordon and Keenan Allen Rivers had a you know, 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:48.920 struggled last week and three interceptions against the Chiefs. UM. 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:50.640 You would like to see the Jets be able to 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:52.920 create a couple more turnovers. They did a good job 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.480 that against the SATs. If they can do that, they 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.120 certainly have a chance to win this ball game. And finally, Chad, 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.440 I talked to Todd Bowls about this week, and he said, 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:05.720 Philip Rivers one of the smartest competitors I face. From 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:10.480 a defensive play calling standpoint, himself and Casey Rogers, what 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:14.080 do you like most about Rivers and what can the 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:19.480 Jets take advantage of, specifically with his aggressiveness at times. Well, 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.160 what I've always liked about Rivers, Number one is he's 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:26.160 always been able to succeed and be successful with an 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:29.200 unorthodox type of throwing motion. And the throwing motion people 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.280 said he couldn't be successful with, He's always been Philip 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:36.320 Rivers and he's never changing that. To me, I respect that. Secondly, 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.040 I really respect his toughness. He is a guy that's 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.600 going to stand in that pocket and regardless of what 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:43.720 is in front of his face, he has the ability 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:47.920 to make throws all over the field with under a 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:51.240 lot of durests and pressure. And so it's one thing 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:53.880 to get to a guy, but when you're going trying 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.480 to get to a guy that's that tough, he can 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:58.560 make you pay. And so the Jets gonna have to 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:02.760 be judicious on how they defend Rivers and this Chargers 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.360 offense because he does a really good job under pressure. 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:09.160 He throws with anticipation, he throws with timing. Uh, He's 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.040 he's a passer, He's a true passer and he's that's 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.080 why he's had such a great career. So it's a 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.000 big time challenge for this young defense. Merry Christmas to 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:21.000 you and your family. We'll talk to you next week. Absolutely, Eric, 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.640 Thank you guys. Brien's is always good getting a quarterbacks 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:29.280 perspective on the play of a quarterback. So uh, Pennington 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:34.600 is emphasized this continually, is that you gotta make the 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.680 passes that are considered gimmes. And in National Football League, 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:39.600 let's see if Petty can do this this week and 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.080 has the Chargers. Yeah, and the Chargers aren't really known 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:46.000 for their secondary you mentioned it before. Melvin Ingram and 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:50.440 Joey Bosa lead the way up front. And last week 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.360 when the Chargers travel to Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs really 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.280 utilized their ground game with Kareem Hunt, who rushed for 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:59.560 a hundred fifty five yards. And we saw the Jets 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:01.880 try to established the run and have success on the 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:05.280 ground early in New Orleans. Well, then touchdown drive in 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:07.600 the first half of the great drive. Is that you 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.600 had the stats on that wealth plays, ten of which 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:13.880 were rushes, and then blal Pal got the two yard 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:17.440 touchdown after that todown run. Focusing on the Chargers now 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.960 for a second. Is earlier when we talked about the 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:23.040 Chiefs on the Official Chess Podcast game preview, they were 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:26.000 really hot, then really cold. The Chargers are quite the opposite. 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:30.320 They were really cold Owen four, relocation to Los Angeles, 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.240 new head coach, and then they were one of the 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.960 hottest teams in football. And right now they've gone from 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:38.639 Owen four to seven and seven and that offense runs 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:46.320 through Philip Rivers and Keenan Allen. Time to hit the phone. Hello, 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.120 Nick hig, It's Ethan Greenberg and Eric Allen with the Jets. 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:53.040 How's it going, guys? Good? Thank you Nick Hardwick. You 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.280 can follow him on Twitter at hardwin or if you 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:58.680 want to pronounce it hardwin a you can do either 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:01.480 or Nick. Thanks so much for Joe winning us right now. Guys, 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.879 thanks for having me. I appreciate it. So can you 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:05.760 just kind of take us through the ebbs and flows 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:09.879 of this Los Angeles Charger season? Yeah? Absolutely. It was 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:13.320 a wild start to the season. First off, with the relocation, 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:17.639 having a new head coach, having a defensive coordinator change, 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:21.360 a lot of staff changes, getting comfortable in a new city, 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:26.399 I to be locating, new training camp location, all of it. 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.120 Amidst all of that, the team got off to a 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.080 very rocky start, going Owen four to start it off, 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.040 and then they got on the road and went to 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:36.680 New York and had a fourth quarter come from behind 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:40.399 victory over another oh and four football team, the New 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.879 York Giants, and that really started turning the season around. 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.399 Went on to beat the Raiders and the Broncos before 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:48.960 losing the Paths. And at the beginning of the season, 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.760 you've got head coach Anthony Lynn coming in and he 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.639 came from Buffalo. They had the number one rush attack 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:57.760 of the National Football League with Lyshawn McCoy, and you 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.280 can tell right away that he was trying to hose 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:04.200 that offense onto the Chargers Ken Wizz and Hunt offensive 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:07.440 coordinator Philip Rivers, and he wanted it to be a 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:10.920 run first offense, and you could tell first second down 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:13.919 they were running the football. At one point in this season, 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:17.320 it was like of their first down plays were runs, 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.160 and then it would put the team behind the sticks 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:23.120 because everybody seemed to know, they said, all right, if 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:25.240 we're gonna do this, we've got to get the keys 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:28.440 to the car. Back to Philip Rivers Keenan Allen finally 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:31.719 appeared healthy for the first time all season, and he 0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:36.640 became virtually unstoppable. Over a four game span, Keenan had 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:40.640 thirty nine catches, five seven yards, four touchdowns. I mean, 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:44.440 he was remarkable in that time period. And they figured 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:48.359 out that it needs to be a pass first offense 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:51.960 that they're going to have any success. The defense started 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:56.080 finding themselves. Gus Bradley came in new defensive coordinator, former 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:59.400 coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. But last week they kind 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:01.920 of fell on their faces in a playoff light game 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:06.040 at Arrowhead Saturday night, and it was a real disappointed 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:08.880 loss for the guys. They look young, they look nervous 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:11.080 for the first time in a long time in a 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:13.840 game that had a lot writing on it, they failed 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.160 to show up completely. Nick, what can you say about 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:19.240 the job that Anthony Lynn has done there this year? 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:23.240 An assistant here under Rex Ryan running backs coach, very well, 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.280 aliked with an organization, and he was very successful for 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.239 Rex is an offensive coordinator with the Bills. How has 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:31.960 he been able to keep the ship afloat the thing 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:34.719 that Anthony Lynn has done so well to me as 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:38.520 he stayed true to himself. He's unabashed about his comments 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:41.640 towards the guys. He's very direct, not afraid to say 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:45.320 what he thinks, and he's very even killed. And when 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:47.960 you're even killed, you have a good chance to get 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.880 through those downtimes. What I want to know is, how 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:56.639 does Anthony Lynn prevent this loss becoming two losses or 0:20:56.760 --> 0:21:00.200 three losses? How much did it take out of this team? 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:03.600 How do they prevent that moving forward as they go 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:06.119 and play a Jets team who has played well at 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:09.320 home so far this year. Yeah, exactly they have. And 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:13.200 that's what Anthony Lynn. I've asked him before about trap games. 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:16.280 Got done beaten the Dallas Cowboys and had the Cleveland 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:19.520 Browns the next week, and I said, coaches their potential 0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:21.840
