Speaker 1: I don't know. He probably doesn't mind. Yeah, if he

Speaker 1: for us to so we got some great guess you

20
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: got my my buddy Vick Carucci from the seven one

Speaker 1: six Buffalo Horses and then later we're gonna dive down

22
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: to Kentucky and tuck some offensive football with our quarterback. Jet.

23
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right on that and Jets Bills the second

24
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: of two matchups. The Jets are entering the third quarter

25
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: of the NFL season. It's official, we're past the midway

26
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: point of the NFL season. It's flying by the Jets

27
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: so far three and five. It could be a very

28
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: different record, but that's what it is. In the two

29
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: games where the Jets have played both teams that represented

30
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: each conference in the Super Bowl in they've lost by

31
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: a touchdown and they lost by five points. So what

32
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: has been what is in cur orged you from these

33
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 1: two games that show the fans, they show you, hey,

34
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: this team, we're setting ourselves up right. Well, no moral victories.

35
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: I think Josh McCown said it right in the postgame

36
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: news conference. Frustrating. Frustrating was it was, you know, you

37
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: go out there and battle, battle the elements, um and

38
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: uh movie football well at times and getting the end

39
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: zone and and uh, you know, just figure out, you know,

40
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: what the heck we're doing in the second half. It's

41
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: not not allowing us to play the same way. Frustrating yes,

42
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: but he wouldn't say he's discouraged because the Jets are

43
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: doing a lot of good things offensively the last three weeks.

44
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: I started with the bang John Morton's got these guys

45
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: going down the field, scoring on opening possessions. Um so

46
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: in the Jets are taking leads defensively. They won in

47
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: the turnover differential department, which I thought against Atlanta that

48
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: would lead to a victory, but unfortunately there were sometimes

49
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: when the Jets did not capitalize with points all at all.

50
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: They're playing good football, you see balance offensively. A McCown

51
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: is third NINFL in terms of completion percentage. Uh. The

52
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: Jets are turning people over defensively. They've had problems with

53
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: that in the past and that hasn't been an issue

54
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: this year. It's just finding that way to finish. I

55
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: know people at home are like, oh, sticky hearing that,

56
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: and the players are sick about it too, because you know,

57
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: it's hard to pinpoint and say this area. This area

58
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: is that Germaine Curse has become a kind of a

59
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: spokesman in that locker room, and he said the margin

60
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: mirrors is small because you know, we're not that far off.

61
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's just a few mistakes here, a

62
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: few mistakes there. But when I mean the margin of

63
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: error is still huge is because it's that hard to

64
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: close that off. It takes a lot. It takes a

65
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: lot to do things right longer than the other opponent.

66
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: Um though it might not be far off, but it's

67
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: a tough thing to do consistently. You know, you really

68
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: want to get that taste out of your mouth. And

69
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: when you're losing greens, I don't think it's a bad

70
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: thing that you got a short week. And I don't

71
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: think it's a bad thing that you have a short

72
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: week and you got a home game. And that's a fact.

73
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: And because you mentioned the color rush, Jets are back

74
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,239
Speaker 1: in green this year for the color rush, the bills

75
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: will be in white if they have the white face masks.

76
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: He I'm gonna be a little jelly. You're gonna be mad,

77
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: a little jealous because we saw the white face mask

78
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: weeks four. They're fresh, all right. I'm trying to start

79
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: a petition with an organization that the white face man

80
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: become the tradition, the traditional look. That's the deal. The

81
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,679
Speaker 1: Jets white face mask Alright podcast, Dieselert before we dive

82
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: in here with Vic afterwards. Be sure to stay tune

83
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: because he and I are gonna give our ex factors

84
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: for this Thursday's matchup. Alright, let's bring in my good buddy,

85
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: Vick Garucci from a Buffalo and News. I want to

86
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: talk about free agency right off the bat, because Kimberly

87
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: Martin worked at Newsday. She went to the Buffalo News

88
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: and worked next to you as a colleague for what

89
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: four or five weeks? And then I follow you on Twitter,

90
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: Vic and Vic Carucci and I'm seeing you in a

91
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: goodbye party. And now Kimberly Martins to the Washington Post.

92
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: Is that right? Yeah? Six weeks was all we got

93
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: to have her on the staff. Uh, what a great addition.

94
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: She she was in that short amount of time, and

95
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: very sad and disappointed that she didn't stay with us.

96
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: I understood though her reasons. She Uh, the Washington Post

97
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: had been a dream opportunity that she said, you know,

98
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: she didn't see coming along at this stage. Um, but

99
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: it did, and uh, and I get it. She put

100
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: a lot of thought into uh, you know, before leaving.

101
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: She said she spent a couple of weeks. But hey,

102
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: I said, even though you were here for five minutes.

103
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: I still want to have a going away party for you,

104
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: and we did there. You are taking care of everybody there. Yeah,

105
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: Kimberly has missed up here, and I know she's gonna

106
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: do a great job at the Washington Post. And you

107
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: guys continue to crush it there at the Buffalo News.

108
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: So vic are the Buffalo Bills a playoff contender? I

109
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: think they are, Eric, I mean, I think Thursday night

110
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: could provide even more of a solidification of that feeling,

111
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: because I think if if they were to come out

112
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: of that game with a win, uh and and sweep

113
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 1: that divisional series and have another conference and division victory,

114
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: uh they find themselves in a position where you'd really

115
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: really have to have some very bad things happen to

116
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: you to fall out of it. But we all know

117
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: anything can happen in the NFL. But my feeling at

118
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: five and two and the way they're winning games with

119
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: a defense that has really done an unbelievable job of

120
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: taking the ball way. They've got a seventeen takeaways, which

121
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: is just remarkable, the way they've been doing that against opponents,

122
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: and uh and and no, I don't know, you know, no,

123
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: other defense is doing it at the pace they are

124
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: that they have the longest active streak of at least

125
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: three takeaways a game with four games in a row um,

126
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: And I think that's the part Eric that tells me

127
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: what they're doing is sustainable, even though they don't have

128
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: by any stretch of a dominating offense or or a

129
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: quarterback who's playing at the at the highest level of

130
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: great production. Tyrod Taylor got a hundred and sixties some

131
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: yards passing against Oakland Sunday, but that didn't matter. Vic,

132
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: I got a two parter for you. We spoke to

133
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: you before Week one and you said Lashawn McCoy was

134
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: the key not only to the Bill's offense, but the

135
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: key to the season. What has Lashawn McCoy had been

136
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: doing in the first eight weeks i'll say seven since

137
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: the Jets saw Buffalo in Week one, and to what's

138
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: changed for this Bill's team since these two teams faced

139
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: each other? Yeah, well, I I truly believed that was

140
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: the case. And you saw what he did against the Jets,

141
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: a hundred and ten rushing yards in that season opening victory.

142
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: That that I thought set the tone for what this

143
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: offense is. It's still a run based offense. Uh. But

144
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy, Uh, you know, the following week worst game

145
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: of his career against Carolina. But it's been a running

146
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: game that needed to sort of find itself again since

147
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: that Jets game. And that happened weeks seven against Tampa

148
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: Bay and he had in the in the ninety yard range.

149
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: But but definitely was you know, as a group, they

150
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: were running the ball much better. And they hundred and

151
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: fifty one yards against Oakland coming out a breakaway touchdown

152
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: run the end of the game. They were getting those

153
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: those consistent plays in the running game. I think when

154
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: you have a formula that is driven by defense and

155
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: that this defense is playing as well as it is.

156
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: And again, when I last spoke to you guys, I

157
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: had no idea that they would, you know, be doing

158
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: this takeaway thing to the degree that they're doing. I

159
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: don't think anybody could predict that. But it's not happening

160
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: by accident, guys. They are absolutely training to do this.

161
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: It's emphasized in every meeting, every practice, and it shows

162
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: up on the field. I think when you've got that

163
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: going for you, the running game becomes very vital because

164
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: they complement each other as you know, Uh, and then

165
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: you're passing game. Uh should I mean, I'm sure they

166
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: love it to be explosive, but right now it's a

167
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: it's a safe passing game. Charles Clay. It's early in

168
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: the week. You anticipate him trying to give it a

169
00:09:54,400 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: goal or the Bills probably take a conservative approach with him, think, um,

170
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna do everything they can to see

171
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: if he can be ready because of you know how

172
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: vital this game is. And uh, he was in uniform

173
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: but not you know, not practicing the other day. But

174
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: then you know, there's no mistaking what he means to

175
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: a passing game that otherwise lacks a lot when he's

176
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: not in there. Yeah, you're right. The Jets are really

177
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: excited about their rookie safeties and Jamal Adams and Marcus

178
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: may and both have played very well in the early going.

179
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: But the Bills have to be a static about their

180
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: Safety's a pair of veterans that they picked up in

181
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: the offseason. What can you tell us about that pair? Well,

182
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: they they've been tremendous. Micah Hyde number one, he's been

183
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: the really the catalyst of the entire defense and he's led.

184
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: You know, he leads that whole defense and especially not

185
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: just the secondary. I mean he puts everybody in the

186
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: right position. He's so smart, he's so such a leader

187
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: and uh and so they are. They have really built

188
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: the defense from the back forward. Uh. Jordan Poyer has

189
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: been a tremendous contributor and they missed him. I'm sure

190
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: it didn't look like it in the game. Uh, they

191
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: had good I mean Trey Elston stepped in and did well.

192
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: He even got an interception. But Jordan Poyer is is,

193
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: you know, a tremendous safety and I think a guy that,

194
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: uh that that will continue to play well once he's healthy. Um.

195
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: I don't know how long he's gonna be out with

196
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: this knee injury. Uh, it might be a push to

197
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: see if he could be ready with a short turnaround

198
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: after missing Sunday's game. And um, but Tradavious White has

199
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: been tremendous at cornerback, the rookie, uh, shadowing Amari Cooper

200
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: as he did, and really helping the effort to force

201
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders into a lot of check down Derek Carr

202
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: throwing a lot of check down passes because the coverage

203
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: was so tight. Uh, they missed d J. Gaines. He

204
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: was out of this Oakland game as well with a

205
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. Charisse Wright struggled a little bit there, but

206
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: they didn't get a lot they really the Raiders didn't

207
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: get a lot off of him. But all at all,

208
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: Leonard Johnson another nickel nickel corner that they have, hard

209
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: hitting guy. Uh. All in all, this secondary UH is

210
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: really one of the true strengths of the entire team. Yeah,

211
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: Green's I just want to say, hides production is off

212
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: the charts, like interceptions VI. Yeah, yeah, and and and Eric,

213
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: they're not you know, they're not just coming because I

214
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: mean there's a certain amount of good fortune that comes

215
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: we know with turnovers, especially in the in the bunches

216
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: that they've gotten them. But this is, this is this

217
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: has a lot more to do about a guy who

218
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: puts himself in the right position. And you remember him

219
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: from Green Bay. Uh. You know when the Bill signed

220
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: him and Jordan Porter, they signed him on the same

221
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: day as free agents. And these were there two big signings.

222
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: These were the statement signings. These were not big name guys. Uh.

223
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: They did get good contracts, certainly in free agency to

224
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: to to UH as their second contracts in the NFL.

225
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: But Hyde in Green Bay was a versatile player as

226
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: you know he's done. He's played at off corner and safety,

227
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: nickel and special teams and you know he's he's been

228
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: a Swiss Army knife. But for the Bills, he is

229
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: truly a safety. And and they have, as I say they've,

230
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: they've really gained tremendous, tremendous boost defensively from him. If

231
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: you're the Jets, how do you go about attacking this

232
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: Bill's team? I think it has a lot to do

233
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: with number one, not letting Tyrod Taylor, uh keep your

234
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: defense off balance with both his legs and his passing arm,

235
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: because he'll do that. And it's it's about containing him,

236
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: which was something they were unable to really get a

237
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: full handle on um lesson from the first game. Is

238
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: you know, not letting that running game get the better

239
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 1: of them. They've you know, the running games changed a lot,

240
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: changed up a lot of what they've done. They bring

241
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: in a lot of variation of blocking scheme. Uh, the

242
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: Jets will see that on tape. It's gonna look different.

243
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: As they studied the other games since that that first

244
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: game against the Jets, Uh, and and again I would

245
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: put I would I would try as much as possible

246
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: to forced Tyrode to to win it, you know, win

247
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: the game with his with his arm. But truth be

248
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: told us, you're you're not They're gonna get you at

249
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: some point, even if even if you get close to

250
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: the to the goal line. Uh, they're so opportunistic. Um,

251
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, you've got to just not turn it over.

252
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: And that's and again asked the Atlanta Falcons, asked the

253
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: Bengals even though they won, asked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,

254
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: and now asked the Raiders. You know you're looking at

255
00:14:55,400 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: what thirteen turnovers in in four games? Styles make flights

256
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: vic in um. That first game was a close contest

257
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: all the way to that up until the fourth quarter,

258
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: even though the Bills largely had the better of the

259
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: play early in that ball game. But the Jet Jets

260
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: between Week three and now, they have not faced a

261
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: deficit at halftime. They've had four the six contests they've

262
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: actually went into the third quarter with the lead, and

263
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: another two they've been tied. So do you think we'll

264
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: have another nail biter here at MetLife Stadium on this

265
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: short week Thursday? Night, Keller Rush, I would I would

266
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: have a hard time thinking that it wouldn't be a

267
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: tight game because Thursday night football, you know, unfortunately brings

268
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: out the worst, it can bring out the best. And

269
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: obviously last week we saw, you know, the Ravens score

270
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: forty points, so they're not going to tell you it

271
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: brought out the worst than them, even though they had

272
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: to finish it without their starting quarterback. So you know,

273
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: you can have one of those games where one team

274
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: is just so you know, whatever the word is, I'm

275
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna say thoroughly unprepared, but but not

276
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: prepared enough and you're cramming things in so much. I'll

277
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: say this for the Bills, and I think this is

278
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: where they could have a distinct advantage over the Jets.

279
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: The Jets roster is pretty young, right, uh, They're they've

280
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: definitely tried to build their team on youth and speed

281
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: and athleticism and and they're gonna continue. The Bills, on

282
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: the other hand, have a lot of players who have

283
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: been brought in from somewhere else. You know that we're

284
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: brought in as uh as street free agent signings, and

285
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: they've built a lot of their roster or or you know,

286
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: full fledged on restricted free agents like I mentioned Micah

287
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: Hyde and Uh and Jordan's ployer. But by and large

288
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: you know their defensive line. I mean they you know,

289
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: they shipped off Marcel Darius to Jacksonville and they've been

290
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: pleased to go with the line. He has a guy

291
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: like Cedric Thornton Uh as part of a rotation with

292
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: Jerald Worthy. I mean, these are these aren't household names guys,

293
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: you know that, and and they're they're using that rotation

294
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: to the fullest uh And And it's a lot of

295
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: other players who Jordan Matthews at receiver, Guys who just

296
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: feel like they they are um, you know, players who

297
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: have to just kind of proved themselves because the teams

298
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: that they previously played for didn't want them. That's the

299
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:34,479
Speaker 1: legendary Vic Gruci covering the bills up there in the

300
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: seven one six, the New York Times best selling author.

Speaker 1: tremendous insight, the tremendous hols of the Buffalo Bill's team.

308
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: He thinks they're legit. The Jets one another shot at

309
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: a team that one plays in the same division. And

310
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: two they could have won that game in Week one. Yeah,

311
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: they certainly could have. Yeah, they were right there in

312
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. So it was kind of familiar. Uh,

313
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: two Jets fans, is that in that ball game late

314
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: weren't able to finish. Um, you're asking me about the

315
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: next Factor. I'm glad you remember. Yeah, I'm glad. I'm glad.

316
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: I was gonna bring it up, but not take it.

317
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, how about Darren Lee? I think why

318
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: do I think he could be an next factor? Because

319
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: McCoy is fantastic. He is a dynamic player. The Jets

320
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: have to be sound against the run, and maybe at

321
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: times they'll have to do a little shadow win of

322
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor because he always got to watch Tyrod one

323
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: he breaks that pocket. I was gonna say, Jamal Adams

324
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: slash whoever guard Shady McCoy out of the back room,

325
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,719
Speaker 1: because Shady Lee the team and receptions, receiving yards, and

326
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: obviously he's their top rusher. Whoever guards him has a

327
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: tough task this weekend. And whether it's two players one player,

328
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: they switch. We've seen the Jets have three safety looks

329
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: for safety looks, so I'm very curious as two coaches

330
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: game plan for Lashawn McCoy. But because you touched on

331
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: Darren Ly and he's included in that category, I'm gonna

332
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: go something else. I'm gonna go with the defensive line.

333
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: Because Vic Carucci talked about this, I thought this was

334
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: extremely interesting. You don't necessarily want to get sacks against

335
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor, you just want to contain him. And I

336
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: think that if the Jets defensive ends in particular can

337
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: kind of forced Hiro out to stay in the pocket,

338
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: I think that's when Tyrod maybe gets a little shaken

339
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: up mentally, and then maybe that's when he throws. I

340
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: don't know if you're gonna get shaken up mentally, but

341
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: what I do like, we're coming at this because you

342
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: gotta get in his passing lane. He's not the tallest player,

343
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: as we know, Maddie Ryan, a guy six five or so.

344
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: Tyrod Teller is a little over six ft, but a

345
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: guy who can come into play for the Jets this week.

346
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: How about Conny Ely getting in the passing lanes and

347
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: then on the other side of the ball, And you

348
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: could say this each and every week, it's to nine.

349
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: I think it's Paul. I think this offense always looks

350
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: different when he's going and he's got a little bit

351
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: of room because he brings juice, you know, and you

352
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: can see it, and you can see his teammates feed

353
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: off of him. I think he's a spark player and

354
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,479
Speaker 1: maybe the Jets can get him going here on Thursday

355
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: night football Offensively, I'm going to s J and we

356
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: talked about it, so I'm just gonna put a little

357
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: two pieces here. Is that a s J. Maybe you

358
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: work the inside to then eventually work the outside. And

359
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: vix saying the Bills run a lot of his own.

360
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: I think that you you utilize your big tight end

361
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: and then maybe that will open up some things on

362
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: the outside. You know who likes tight ends quarterbacks and

363
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 1: let's pretty in our quarterback chap any. Well, the Jets

364
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: don't have much time to lick their wounds because they'll

365
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 1: be on the field Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills.

366
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: What do you see from Atlanta? What do you take

367
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: out of that ball game? Because Todd balls. Afterwards, Jed said, listen,

368
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: we have to be the team that starts throwing the

369
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: body blows instead of absorbing them. Well, Erica, I certainly

370
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: believe coach Bowls has a good pulse to his team,

371
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: and um, he understands why they're losing. And when you

372
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: look at a three and five team, I don't think

373
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 1: they're forcing the opponent to beat them. And that's unfortunate

374
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: because there's some really good plays being made, both offensively

375
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: and defensively. But those plays on a whole are being

376
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: negated because of a handful of losing plays being a turnover,

377
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: a sack, mistackles, miscommunication, whatever it may be. It's just

378
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: a handful, but a handful is enough to make you lose.

379
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: And then fell Chad, what do you think about Robby Anderson?

380
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: His performance kind of got overshadowed because of the loss,

381
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: but yesterday he had his first career a hundred yard

382
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: receiving day. Well, I think his production has increased because

383
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: his route running is getting better. Um, a couple of

384
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: times down the sideline, being able to work on through

385
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: font at the cornerback from the falcons and work the

386
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: technique and be able to work off the press coverage.

387
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: I think most teams think, even though Robbie is fast,

388
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: if they get up in his face and be physical

389
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: because of his stature, that they can win that battle.

390
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: The line excrements, But he's proving that he's quick, he's

391
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: got enough physicality and if you miss on the jam,

392
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: he's going to make you pay. And that's what he's

393
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: been able to do. He's also been able to catch

394
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: intermediate short routes to take shallow crosses, turn those five

395
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: yard games into double digit games. And so he's certainly

396
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: become a weapon for Josh McCown in the passing game.

397
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: What's John Morton doing at the beginning of game so well,

398
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: because that's three consecutive weeks where that that's the score

399
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: on their opening possession. Is he breaking tendencies because you

400
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: see a lot of times like on that Eric Thomlinson touchdown, Wow,

401
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: is he wide open? Shed? And that conversely, what's happening

402
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: later in the games to the offense. I know you

403
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: talked about the negative plays they have to avoid when

404
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: they're in scoring territory. But on a mackerel level, what

405
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: do you think has happened in offensively late well early

406
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: in the game. The Jets have come out extremely focused,

407
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: extremely sharp, starting fast with their mindset, and then coach

408
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: Morton has complimented that with every down is a different look,

409
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: every down has a different personnel and so and they're

410
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: just executing at a high level as the game goes on.

411
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: I think you're finding lows where it's not about the

412
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: play calling, their personnel groups. It's just about the players

413
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: not maintaining that sense of urgency. And yet the defense

414
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: will win plays. But in the defense wins wins plays,

415
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: you want those plays that they win to still be

416
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: one and two yard games. You don't want those plays

417
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: to be uh sacks for loss of ten yards. You

418
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: don't want those plays to be because of penal penalties

419
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: and things like that. So that's what it is. I

420
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: just think it's it's a low and focus and a

421
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: low and attention to detail and a lack of situational

422
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: winnings to maintain positive momentum in your offensive games even

423
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: if you don't scool points. How different does this offense

424
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: look from the last time the Jets played the Bills

425
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: in Week one because back then Jermaine Curse and Jeremy

426
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: Curley were right. They basically set foot in the door

427
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: earlier that week, and then they fell twenty one to

428
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: twelve in that game. And now the Jets are starting

429
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: fast and the offense looks completely different. Even in these

430
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: three losses, I think you've seem solid offensive production. I

431
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: think in that first game, you didn't see solid offensive production.

432
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: You saw lack of continuity. You saw a team that

433
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: did not had not established any rhythm work. So they

434
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: wanted for sure, okay, who are our playmakers? And now

435
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: I think, uh, both the staff and the players feel

436
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: like that they have multiple playmakers. That's the staff are

437
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: doing a good job of putting these guys in positions

438
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: to make the plays, and they're calling on multiple people

439
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,959
Speaker 1: to make those plays. And so you've seen a nice tempo,

440
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: a nice rhythm, and their offensive game plan as well

441
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: as their offensive production. I think the key now is consistency. Uh.

442
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: In the NFL, it's not about spurts and one game

443
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: wonders and one drive wonders. It's about consistent offensive play

444
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: and production, UH that last throughout the game and four

445
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: quarters not just for a quarter here or there. Defensively,

446
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: are you encouraged by what you're seeing out of Mohammad

447
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 1: Wokerson who seems to be coming on, especially the last

448
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: two games. And also how critical is it gonna be

449
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: for this team moving forward to have a healthy Morris Clayborn.

450
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: He's getting some tests on he went down with a

451
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: leg injury against Atlanta. Hopefully he's back on the field Thursday.

452
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: But you saw Atlanta attacked the outside as soon as

453
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: he went out. They go up top to Julio Jones

454
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: with a fifty three yard strike from Matt Ryan and

455
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: then Mohammed Sanu, who's one of the top slot players

456
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Um, he went to work

457
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: on the Jets. There is six reception seventy four yards

458
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: as the Jets were juggling in the secondary late Chad

459
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: because Claiborne was out and Buster screen in play, So

460
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 1: um that might more justin Burris and Darryl Roberts on

461
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: the outside and Robert Nelson made his first appearance in

462
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: the Green and white. Yeah, overall, I thought the play.

463
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: It certainly allowed the Jets to win the game. But

464
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: when you're dealing with injuries and now you're taking Um,

465
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: your corners who were used to playing only in nickel

466
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: situations are only maybe inside and now they're having to

467
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: play on first and second down situation and take more reps.

468
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: It puts more stress on your coverage, and then it

469
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: puts more stress on the coaching staff because they may

470
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: have to alter the game plan just a little and

471
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: start to think about areas of the defense that may

472
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: have a weakness throughout the game that you didn't plan

473
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: on being a weakness or being an issue as you

474
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: game plan through the week. And so it's a juggling act.

475
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: And UH, to only give up twenty five points to

476
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: create a H four field goal opportunities that could have

477
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: easily been touchdown opportunities was a positive for the Jets.

478
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: It's just right now, I don't feel like I feel

479
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: like the issue is the team is not playing complimentary football.

480
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: So um, both sides are playing winning football UH and

481
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: and playing really well and spurred, But to play complimentary

482
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: football is a completely different animal, meaning that UM, when

483
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: the defense needs to step up and make a play,

484
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: they've got to make it when the offense has got

485
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: and when they've got a h steps up and make

486
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: it play, you have to make it. You have to

487
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: be situational aware. So it's it's Uh, it's one of

488
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: those things that you don't necessarily have to deal with

489
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: a lot in college or high school, but in the NFL. Uh,

490
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: it makes a world as different. How did the Jets

491
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 1: go about stopping Lashawn McCoy Because last time these two

492
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: teams played each other, Shady had a hundred ten yards

493
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 1: on the ground and another forty nine through the air.

494
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: He leads the bills and rushing, receiving yards and receptions.

495
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: So if your coach bowls, how do you go about

496
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:33,959
Speaker 1: stopping McCoy? Well, this is gonna be a total team effort,

497
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: and I think historically over the last couple of years,

498
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: the Jets defense has struggled with McCoy in one on

499
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: one situations, which most of the leaked does, by the way,

500
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: But then they've also struggled with Tyrod Taylor being able

501
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: to get out of the pocket and extend play. And

502
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: that's basically going to be the game right there. Uh.

503
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor does an excellent job of protecting the football,

504
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: not putting his team in bad situations, and being able

505
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: to play to his defense when he has to and

506
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: so that's the game plan. The game plan is to

507
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: make sure that you've got this guy corralled. I would

508
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: imagine you're gonna see a little bit more zone. You

509
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: may see more spy techniques on McCoy in the passing game,

510
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: which then affects your pass rush. But at the same time,

511
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: your pass rush is not to stack the quarterback. Here

512
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: is to contain the quarterback in the pocket. Forced Taylor

513
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: to be a pocket passer, uh, knowing his lack of

514
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: height and that he feels more comfortable being outside. And

515
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: so I would imagine more bracket coverages, own coverages, picks

516
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: up the man, take your shots when you need to

517
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: as a defense, but certainly first and second down production

518
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: is key and making sure that those two guys don't

519
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: make big plays on first and second down. How much

520
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: stress does this Buffalo Bill's team put on other clubs?

521
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: Meaning you always love to say that, hey, and the

522
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: NFL teams don't win games, they let other teams lose games.

523
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: And when you look at the Bills right now, plus

524
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: fourteen in the turnover department. Also defensively not giving up

525
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: a lot of points the plane zone. Derek Carr was

526
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: frustrated Auckland Raiders quarterback because they couldn't get anything over

527
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: their heads of keeping everything in front, they're tackling while

528
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: and they're not turning the ball over offensively. That's that's

529
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: the game plan. And basically, you know, that's if the

530
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: Jets need to look at a team to mimic and

531
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: try to figure out how to do it, that would

532
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: be the team. It would be the Buffalo Bills. UM,

533
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: because that's what they're doing. They're not turning the ball over.

534
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: Their turnover ratio is unbelievable and plus fourteen. Their defenses

535
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: maybe bending at times, but certainly not breaking. And what

536
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: they're challenging the opponent to do is beat us. If

537
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: you're good enough to beat us, and beat us. And

538
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: that's why they're sitting at five and two because they

539
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: have not lost the games they have. Uh, the opponent

540
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: has lost games to the Bills, and that's why they're

541
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: sitting at five and two, light beneath the Patriots, which

542
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: is a great spot to be in. So when I

543
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: look at this game, I see this game as another

544
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: game that you'll see the Jets be in and it's

545
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: gonna come down to the fourth quarter. Um. And making

546
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: sure that they're doing things necessary to make winning played.

547
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: And sometimes those winning plays aren't big eye opening plays.

548
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: They're a throwaway to avoid a sack. Um there are

549
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: you know, making sure that you're containing a quarterback in

550
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: the pocket where he doesn't extend to play and turn

551
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: a five yard game into twenty yard game or a

552
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: thirty yard game down the field with his arm. Uh.

553
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: It's plays that may not show up, and it's that

554
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: book per se, but it shows up in the wind.

555
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: Call the quick turnaround for this team now in a

556
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: three game losing streak, good thing, bad thing. And my

557
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: other question here, Parp is how difficult is it to

558
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: sweep a team uh in a year? Well, losing is

559
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: terrible no matter how you look at it. Uh. You

560
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: can always take positives from losing, but at the end

561
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: of the day, you're still losing. And I think probably

562
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: what's most frustrating for fans and players alike is that

563
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: these games are winnable games, and these games are games

564
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: you look back and go, Wow, we're in this. Wow,

565
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: we're making good plays, we're doing good things. We're just

566
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: not putting a full four quarters together, and we're causing

567
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: ourselves to lose these ball games. Teams. I don't feel

568
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: like teams have beaten the Jets. I feel like the

569
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: Jets have lost to these teams. And sometimes that's demoralizing,

570
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: but at the same time, you know that it can

571
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: be fixed. Well, Chat, you will actually be up here

572
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: uh this week, so we look forward to seeing you

573
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: and uh Thursday night. The color Rush uniforms, buddy, they

574
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: didn't have those back when you played its teams not

575
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: so long ago. But we're onto a new era Colorado

576
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: Beet fans and leaving in the stadium and hopefully being

577
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: yet win. Yeah, great stuff from Chad Pennington. As always,

578
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: football is almost every day year though every year the

579
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: Green's that's been uh for the last three day football

580
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: Jets Bills. This is the tradition. And too green now right?

581
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: Too green? Yep to home. Do you like that color green?

582
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: I think it looks better on television than it does

583
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: in person. How about that? All right, we'll leave it

584
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: at that, but your thoughts, I'll agree with you. So

585
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: it's a little too It's a little too vibrant for

586
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: my taste, But I don't mind if I don't mind it.

587
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: For one, listen when people have it on the street though.

588
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah, okay, that's fair, I agree, you know,

589
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: And I like and the face masks are really shiny. Yeah,

590
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: you know. Listen, I love when the fans get an

591
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: opportunity to take a look at the new uniform. We

592
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: see that in college football all the time. Is all

593
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: these teams changing up their uniforms every week. By the way,

594
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: what we're doing Ohio State, great win, but thumbs down

595
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: on the uniforms. But our uniform is one of the

596
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: And I don't say this because I've worked here for

597
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: seventeen years. I thought you just said you weren't trying

598
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 1: to date yourself. I'm not. I'm not. I'm just saying

599
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: I've been around for a little bit. So people will

600
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: say allegiances, e A. You gotta do allegiances to the Jets.

601
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: I will say the Jets uniform is classic looking, authentic, traditional.

602
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: I like that. All right, Before we put a ball

603
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: on this Thursday's matchup, what is e A's favorite jersey combination,

604
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: whether it's old new white and green green and white

605
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: hall white, I know the white face masker are going

606
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: to be there. If we're going traditional, I feel like

607
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: we're only a season a lot. We wear the white

608
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: jersey and the green pants and I like that. And

609
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: I really I'm a traditional lists and I know you

610
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 1: can't do this after a labor day, but the white

611
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: on white, I really like that looks very clean. You

612
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 1: know what about the vintage jerseys? Solid? Okay, solid, you know,

613
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: just you know B plus plus. Yeah, all right, this

614
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 1: this Thursday's matchup. Vic thinks it's gonna be a close fight.

615
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: Chad thinks it's gonna be a close fight. What does

616
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 1: he think? Oh yeah, it definitely is. Know Thursday night games,

617
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: you see lopsided scores when the teams don't know each other.

618
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: If it's a divisional contest, I think very rarely you're

619
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: gonna see the game being one side one way or

620
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: the on one side or another. I think this is

621
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: it's a fasten your seatbelts type of game. It's gonna

622
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: be a fourth quarter affair. And these teams know each other,

623
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: they know each other's tendencies, and you know, you gotta

624
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: do what you do well and we'll see what happens. So,

625
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: you know, for the Jets, they gotta take away those

626
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: big guys that we continue to talk about, McCoy and

627
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: Llor but defensively, it seems like much like you're seeing

628
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: from the Jets now is the Jets are being are

629
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: transforming before our eyes. Bills built themselves from the secondary

630
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,439
Speaker 1: then towards the line, and the Jets prenominantly for years

631
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: have been all of the talk about the defensive line.

632
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: You still have stylid guys up there, but now you're

633
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: seeing the Jamal Adams, the Marcus Mays, Morris Clayborne, knock

634
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: on wood, he's back out there Thursday night. He's played

635
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: really well for this team on the island. So the

636
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: Jets secondary, which was a weakness in the past, is

637
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: becoming a strength. So we'll have to check on the

638
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: health obviously of Morris Clayborne and Buster Screen, who did

639
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: not play against the Falcons with a concussion. Furthermore, what

640
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: does the short we do to someone like Mohammed Wilkerson

641
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: who doesn't anticipate to miss any time, but his regiment

642
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: so far in the past couple of weeks has been

643
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: not to practice and then play on game day, So

644
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: we see how that plays out. But before we wrap

645
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: things up here on the Official Jets Podcast game preview,

646
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: outside of Lashawn McCoy, what's one thing the Jets need

647
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 1: to do that will help their chances to win this game.

648
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: They score twenty four points and don't turn over. They

649
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: went simple, simple equation. If they scored twenty four and

650
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: don't turn it over, they win. Those are two big ifs,

651
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: because this is a very good defense that does not

652
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: give up a lot of points and they've been turning

653
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 1: people over. But the Jets certainly can win this game.

654
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: And it's you know, it's gonna be anfantalk affair. That's all.

655
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: We got the Official Jets Podcast game preview Jets Bills
