Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Official Jets Podcast powered
Speaker 1: by Amazon Web Services. Ethan Greenberg, Eric Allen here in
Speaker 1: the bet MGM studio will be joined by Bart Scott
Speaker 1: later in the episode for our Vics Tornox Swiss Army
Speaker 1: Knife player of the Game segment as did Jets prepare
Speaker 1: to face the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 1: And before we talk anything Jets Chiefs with Bart Scott,
Speaker 1: it's it's week eight of the season, which is crazy
Speaker 1: with this season has flown by. It seemed like yesterday
Speaker 1: that we were here inside the bed MGM studio for
Speaker 1: the first time doing training camp live show, and now
Speaker 1: we're eight weeks into the NFL season, which is just amazing,
Speaker 1: it really is. But you know, for the Jets right now,
Speaker 1: you saw some positive steps the previous Sunday against the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, but that challenges It is a tall task
Speaker 1: going to Kansas City anytime, much less. Wow, this is
Speaker 1: the defending Super Bowl champions and you're just a team
Speaker 1: just looking for his first win. And any team too,
Speaker 1: I mean any time, any team going to Kansas City.
Speaker 1: I believe they allow fans also in Kansas City. I
Speaker 1: could be wrong. On that, but I'm almost positive they do,
Speaker 1: so there's gonna be some form of crowd element there also, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, and you get somewhat of a break that
Speaker 1: there's not seventy people arrowhead. But this team, you can
Speaker 1: make the argument that they have the most valuable player
Speaker 1: in the National Football League lead that offensive, Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 1: and he's got so many weapons on the offensive side
Speaker 1: of the ball, and defense plunk playing well as well.
Speaker 1: So listen, any team going into Kansas City is a
Speaker 1: tough challenge and the Jets are going to be up
Speaker 1: against it. Let's see if they can find a way
Speaker 1: to get to the fourth quarter and just give yourself
Speaker 1: a chance. The Jets did that very well against the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Just passed Sunday, held the Bills out of
Speaker 1: the end zone multiple times, including times where you thought, oh,
Speaker 1: maybe the Bills are finally gonna get one, like when
Speaker 1: Josh Allen hits Tyler Croft down the left sideline, they're
Speaker 1: in the red zone. The Jets held back to back possessions,
Speaker 1: gave the offense a chance. But one player on defense,
Speaker 1: and I think we should highlight because I think he's
Speaker 1: played well, maybe a little under the radar over the
Speaker 1: first seven games quinnin Williams, and he has three sacks
Speaker 1: so far on the season, and right now, I would
Speaker 1: say that he's definitely shown progress from that year one
Speaker 1: to year two jump that you'd like to see for
Speaker 1: all rookies. Well, first off, he's got to clean up
Speaker 1: the flags. We know that, and he would probably be
Speaker 1: the first one to tell you that. But from an
Speaker 1: interior position, he's been very solid against the run. And
Speaker 1: you mentioned the sect totals. This is a guy continues
Speaker 1: to press the pocket up the middle and quarterbacks don't
Speaker 1: like that. And we often forget that quinnin Williams is
Speaker 1: just in his second season here. So let's say he
Speaker 1: gets another sack, maybe he gets Mahomes down this weekend,
Speaker 1: and you're hoping that happens if you're a Jets fan.
Speaker 1: But if you're getting an interior rusher who has eight sacks,
Speaker 1: who's very good against the run, who's often drawing double teams,
Speaker 1: that's what you were looking for when you drafted Quinn
Speaker 1: and Williams the previous April. So I think signs arrows
Speaker 1: are pointing up with this guy. I like his motor,
Speaker 1: he's got unique athletic ability. We always talk about how
Speaker 1: low to the ground he is built, and he's explosive
Speaker 1: off the ball, and I would say he's got a
Speaker 1: really quick first step. Also that you've seen him burst
Speaker 1: through the line a couple of times. He had two
Speaker 1: sacks against the Niners in Week two. He had one
Speaker 1: yesterday against the Bills. And I think that Quinn and
Speaker 1: Williams is a player. You mentioned the sack total. If
Speaker 1: he were to get eight sacks, let's say, right, just
Speaker 1: to put things into personally, it's possible. Let's just say
Speaker 1: that right now, he's got three sacks through seven games,
Speaker 1: that is quite possible that he can end the year
Speaker 1: finishing with that kind of sector. Right, So with that
Speaker 1: in mind, if he were to finish with eight sacks,
Speaker 1: eight sacks is but Jordan Jenkins led the Jets with
Speaker 1: last season, so to get that kind of production from
Speaker 1: up the middle is very impressive. And there's another very
Speaker 1: impressive defensive tackle the Jets will see this weekend, Chris Jones,
Speaker 1: who has four and a half sacks, which is crazy
Speaker 1: to think from an interior position, but he's a great player.
Speaker 1: Quinnin Williams, you know one and a half sacks back
Speaker 1: through seven games, not too shabby. No, Jones is a
Speaker 1: great player, so the Jets offensive line is gonna have
Speaker 1: to uh take care of him. I don't know how
Speaker 1: many times he can go single against him. You're gonna
Speaker 1: have to double him a lot. But what Williams is
Speaker 1: gonna be able to do, It's gonna take the pressure
Speaker 1: off the outside guys because if you have somebody you
Speaker 1: have to account for in the middle, then those guys
Speaker 1: on the outside they just gotta win their one on
Speaker 1: one matchups. And the other guy who's been pretty good
Speaker 1: I think for the Jets in another name out of
Speaker 1: the radars, John Franklin Myers. He came up with the
Speaker 1: fumble recovery when Terrell Basham got the corner on I
Speaker 1: believe right tackle Darryl Williams and the Buffalo Bills and
Speaker 1: he knocked the ball out of Josh Allen's hands, and
Speaker 1: Franklin Myers was right there. He comes up with the
Speaker 1: fumble recovery. But those are two guys who I think
Speaker 1: have been bringing bringing it on the interior. The question
Speaker 1: for the Jets over the years has always been who's
Speaker 1: the guy threatening you on the outside, So it's It's
Speaker 1: good to see bash getting them in the backfield, and
Speaker 1: he's made some plays the last couple of weeks. Now,
Speaker 1: Tarrell Basham two sacks in as many weeks. He had
Speaker 1: one against the Bills forced fumble and one against the Dolphins,
Speaker 1: his first of the two thousand twenty season. And when
Speaker 1: you look at this Jets roster, we talked about guys
Speaker 1: throughout the season like Joe Flaccol and Frank Gore, who
Speaker 1: are obviously and the latter halves or third or they're
Speaker 1: close to the end of their career right respectively. So
Speaker 1: you would assume I'm not gonna put that out there.
Speaker 1: I realized that, as I said, Gore is the kind
Speaker 1: of guy you wouldn't be surprised if he's playing fifty.
Speaker 1: But with knowing those two guys are old for NFL years, right,
Speaker 1: We've talked about them a lot, But the Jets have
Speaker 1: a lot of young players throughout the roster that I
Speaker 1: think of been at least somewhat productive for the team
Speaker 1: when their numbers called. I mean, the first guy that
Speaker 1: comes to mind when I said that is like Jeff
Speaker 1: Smith in Week four, comes off of I R. He
Speaker 1: immediately has a good game, and then against the Bills,
Speaker 1: Denzel Mims comes off of I R Saturday and he
Speaker 1: has forty yards in the first half. Granted, you'd like
Speaker 1: to see more from Denzel Mims in the second half
Speaker 1: in the offense as a total, I mean totally four
Speaker 1: yards in the second half. You've got to be better
Speaker 1: than that. But I think that you liked what you
Speaker 1: saw out of MIM's at least in his first NFL action.
Speaker 1: Can I go back to the defensive side of the
Speaker 1: ball real quick? I gotta get props to Bryce Off,
Speaker 1: undrafted free agent a Memphis who had his first career
Speaker 1: sack against the Miami Dolphins. And then Sunday, the Bills
Speaker 1: were running, Isaiah Mackenzie crossed the line of scrimmage and
Speaker 1: the A four mentioned Tyler Croft was coming over to
Speaker 1: block half in half read. Dad out snuffed it from
Speaker 1: the get and got him down. Mackenzie down in the backfield.
Speaker 1: That was a veteran type play. So he's a guy
Speaker 1: who we have to continue to watch because SAC against
Speaker 1: Miami a big play in the defense an offensive backfield,
Speaker 1: So what is his next steps? But on offensive side
Speaker 1: of the ball, I just want to say one thing
Speaker 1: about Huff is you would assume he'd get more playing time,
Speaker 1: right with Kyle Phillips now out for the season with
Speaker 1: the ankle injury. And that's another young player that was
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent in two thousand nineteen. He led
Speaker 1: the team in tackles for loss and then he started
Speaker 1: pretty well and then he gets hurt and then yeah,
Speaker 1: and then Bryce Huff to your point, you would assume
Speaker 1: he might be in the mixture. See more snapped. And
Speaker 1: another guy I think we're gonna talk about this on
Speaker 1: practice today this week is that Jabari z Aninga. And
Speaker 1: now I remember that two thousand twenty draft class. So
Speaker 1: Steve McLennan and Tampa, now Quinn and Williams. We're seeing
Speaker 1: um him developed in front of our eyes. He always
Speaker 1: had the natural raw athletic ability. I think that he
Speaker 1: was slowed by injury last year. But quinnin is a
Speaker 1: guy who he was flashing. John Franklin Myers is a
Speaker 1: guy you picked up off of waivers from the Rams.
Speaker 1: He's showing his talent. Bryce hoff starting to come on
Speaker 1: um and then Uh, Jabari z Aninga is a guy
Speaker 1: the Jets really liked. They drafted the four round out
Speaker 1: of Florida and explosive player who is not an edge
Speaker 1: but he's a defensive alignment, So how is he going
Speaker 1: to work into the rotation as well? And then the
Speaker 1: other defensive player to think about is the other Bryce
Speaker 1: is Bryce Hall, because he's in that designated to practice
Speaker 1: window now off of the non football injury list. And
Speaker 1: if he's let's say he's on the same Bless Austin path,
Speaker 1: which is you get activated after week ten, maybe you
Speaker 1: get your feet wet, depending on the situation and the
Speaker 1: numbers at corner. I think that's another guy that when
Speaker 1: the Jets drafted Bryce Hall, a lot of fans and
Speaker 1: a lot of pundit's we're thinking, well, that could be
Speaker 1: a guy down the road because he dealt with that
Speaker 1: pretty brutal ankle leg injury at Virginia. But that's this
Speaker 1: was a guy that led the nation in past defenses
Speaker 1: the year before he got hurt. He can find a
Speaker 1: football and the Jets knew it was going to be
Speaker 1: a slow process with him when they drafted him. But
Speaker 1: like you said, hopefully he can get on the field
Speaker 1: here quickly because I'm sure if he can get up
Speaker 1: to speed on the practice field, and I wonder if
Speaker 1: he has a similar path through Denzel Mims, meaning scout
Speaker 1: team first and then get some team reps and let's
Speaker 1: see what you have. But his ball skills, he is
Speaker 1: at natural in terms of finding the football. And you
Speaker 1: mentioned what a productive season he added in Virginia's last
Speaker 1: healthy year in college. So he is a guy who
Speaker 1: you'd like to see out there on field in the
Speaker 1: back half of the season. But sorry to get us
Speaker 1: off track. That's how MIM's you know, range of pores.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like a snowball that turns into the avalanche.
Speaker 1: How about Mims. Uh, he saw a lot of trade
Speaker 1: Avious White. Trade Avious White is a top five corner
Speaker 1: in the league, maybe top three corner in the NFL.
Speaker 1: He had those four receptions, a couple of crossing routes.
Speaker 1: I really thought that one of his most impressive plays
Speaker 1: was taking care of treyde Davis White in the end
Speaker 1: zone on la Michael p Ryans first touchdown in the
Speaker 1: National Football League. Everybody talks about MIM's being explosive in
Speaker 1: and out of his routes, big guy, good catch radius. Um,
Speaker 1: So he performed well in Game one. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: what stood out to me was what Mim said after
Speaker 1: the game. I interviewed him after the game from MetLife
Speaker 1: Stadium as I was up in my sweet and he
Speaker 1: was outside and to go home. But Denzel Mims said,
Speaker 1: you know, I know I can do a lot more
Speaker 1: and I can do a lot better in the future.
Speaker 1: So I said, well, what do you mean by that?
Speaker 1: And he says, well, my blocking. First off, he said
Speaker 1: that blocking gets him going like mentally and in the
Speaker 1: involved in the game. And hey, I know that all
Speaker 1: NFL fans want to see the four three eight guy
Speaker 1: just like catch and run and just take one seventy
Speaker 1: yards and show off the burners. But Denzel Mims takes
Speaker 1: pride in his blocking. And I think that the La
Speaker 1: Michael p Ryan touchdown there's a great example of that.
Speaker 1: And I think that speaks to who Denzel Mims is
Speaker 1: as a guy. I think he's a little tougher than
Speaker 1: maybe you would think because receivers kind of get that
Speaker 1: diva label, maybe unjustly. Well, yeah, you go back to Baylor.
Speaker 1: You know this. You did a lot of work on
Speaker 1: the previous draft here said. They used to talk about
Speaker 1: the way he approached practice every day and he loves
Speaker 1: being part of the run game. So but Anthony backset
Speaker 1: it after your interview by the way, on Jets over time, Hey, listen,
Speaker 1: that's great that the receiver wants to be a blocker,
Speaker 1: but we need to catching touchdown passes, the catching basses
Speaker 1: down the field. And den deel Mims, to be fair,
Speaker 1: at college was the only n c A a receiver
Speaker 1: with at least eight touchdown castes catches and at least
Speaker 1: three seasons and three and three consecutive seasons. So yeah,
Speaker 1: he got it on inside the red zone. And he
Speaker 1: was asked to run a lot of vertical routes at
Speaker 1: Baylor UM, but the Jets said early on he picked
Speaker 1: up the route tree and he can do a lot
Speaker 1: of different things. So, uh, he's the guy who you
Speaker 1: wouldn't anticipate is going to continue to get better, and
Speaker 1: you love who he's being coached up by. You're not
Speaker 1: only shown Jefferson, but you got hines Ward in there
Speaker 1: as well, of course, and hines Ward was very much
Speaker 1: known for his blocking, so I'm sure he'll pick up
Speaker 1: a thing or two learning from him. In terms of
Speaker 1: the rest of the receiving corps, you mentioned jeff Smith,
Speaker 1: I mean he gotta hope that Prescott Powerman is healthy
Speaker 1: because we'll see what the deal is with Jamison Crowder.
Speaker 1: But you're hoping for this upcoming week and the rest
Speaker 1: of the season. You're receiving Corps Powerman, Mims and Crowder.
Speaker 1: And yesterday the Jets had two out of the three.
Speaker 1: Brasen Burrios was starting in place of Crowder. How about
Speaker 1: the third and twenty where is Sam Donald through one
Speaker 1: of one of the most impressive passes of his three
Speaker 1: year career, gets burials in a crazy window for twenty
Speaker 1: two yards. And that was a great example what Sam
Speaker 1: can do from the pocket because I know a lot
Speaker 1: of times we talked about his improvisation skills and what
Speaker 1: he can do when a play breaks down, But here
Speaker 1: he is on the money and a tough situation. Third
Speaker 1: and twenty he finds burials. But you're right Greenis you're
Speaker 1: talking about the Jets and Adam Gates referred to him
Speaker 1: as three dudes. The three dudes. The three dudes has
Speaker 1: yet to play together. And we're at the NFL midway point,
Speaker 1: So Jameson Crowder not in the lineup when Denzel Mims
Speaker 1: back and then Brashot Perriman. He took that big pop
Speaker 1: the sideline. I think that was Jordan Poyer, right player
Speaker 1: or high Yeah, I think it was Micah Hyde. It
Speaker 1: was hide okay, so I don't remember who the safety was.
Speaker 1: It was one of those bank bang plays where damn,
Speaker 1: he really took a shot on the sideline. So the
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. So we have to hope for the best
Speaker 1: with him. Again, we talked about the speed at the
Speaker 1: receiver position, but uh, work in progress because Mims gets
Speaker 1: out there for the first time now, the Perriman is
Speaker 1: dealing with an injury. And every time Crowder has been
Speaker 1: on the field, he's been productive. Burials has done some
Speaker 1: nice things in filling in for him. But the Jets,
Speaker 1: I thought, offensively great plan early and they moved to football.
Speaker 1: They were in good rhythm and what I liked is
Speaker 1: offensive line was blowing the Bills defenders off the ball early. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the Jets. It's really a tale of two
Speaker 1: halves for the Jets offense. I mean, on six of
Speaker 1: the team's total yards came in the first half, and
Speaker 1: you saw the offense start to put things together, and
Speaker 1: you hope that the offense can take whatever happened in
Speaker 1: that first half and they could apply it to four
Speaker 1: quarters worth of football throughout the course of the season.
Speaker 1: And on a positive note, Michael p Ryan's stats aren't
Speaker 1: I popping, but he did get his first career touchdown. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And we talked about the run and it's like a
Speaker 1: stretch and he showed his explosion there because I don't
Speaker 1: know if a lot of the guys would have been
Speaker 1: able to get to the edge, and the Jets have
Speaker 1: talked about him being a home run hitter. No, that
Speaker 1: was not a long game per se, but he got
Speaker 1: to the corner where nobody could get to him, No
Speaker 1: Bills defender could get to him. So he showed his
Speaker 1: speed there. And he did have a twenty yard run
Speaker 1: in the first half, blocked up well and he hit it.
Speaker 1: And that's the explosion he can bring to the table.
Speaker 1: Or that's this big playability because I know we're always
Speaker 1: thinking in terms of, hey, chunk plays come in the
Speaker 1: passing game, Well you can get chunk plays in the
Speaker 1: run game as well. And the Michael p Right, I
Speaker 1: think did a really nice job of getting skinny and
Speaker 1: extending the ball over the pylon. From my vantage point,
Speaker 1: I was about the thirty or forty yard line, and
Speaker 1: the Jets were going to the opposite direction, like to
Speaker 1: my left, and he almost like, is he gonna get it?
Speaker 1: I don't know, and then it almost looked like he
Speaker 1: ran out of bounds. And then he did a very
Speaker 1: nice job of he's jumping and extending. He certainly did.
Speaker 1: And that was like a veteran move right there, getting
Speaker 1: it over the pieline and getting into the end zone,
Speaker 1: and the Jets had It's had nothing lead. And this
Speaker 1: was the first time in a long time since Week
Speaker 1: four against the Broncos, where the Green and White gave
Speaker 1: themselves a chance to win in the fourth quarter and
Speaker 1: as small steps right now. And I know fans are
Speaker 1: unhappy and everybody inside the building is unhappy with the
Speaker 1: Jets record, There's no doubt about that. But you do
Speaker 1: have to take things in play by play, watch them
Speaker 1: back correct the mistakes, and the Jets gave themselves a
Speaker 1: chance to win. It would be really something if they
Speaker 1: give themselves a chance to win against the Chiefs, because
Speaker 1: they just faced a Buffalo team that was scuffling the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. And I still think they're feeling
Speaker 1: their own way Defensively, you saw the Bills take that
Speaker 1: game over in the second half with a lot of
Speaker 1: their pressure packages, and I thought Sam Donald was right,
Speaker 1: they made adjustments. Now what are we gonna do as
Speaker 1: far as making adjustments as well to counter those adjustments.
Speaker 1: So I like defensively that third down were great. Again,
Speaker 1: the Bills were three of eleven. That was comes on
Speaker 1: the heels of a game against the Miami Dolphins when
Speaker 1: they Miami was just one of nine. So you're getting
Speaker 1: off the field on third down zero five in the
Speaker 1: red zone. I guess the other point of that is
Speaker 1: the Bills controlled the ball throughout that game after the
Speaker 1: first quarter. Yeah, it's very odd because the Bills all
Speaker 1: their eighteen points came off field goals, but they also
Speaker 1: didn't punt. So it's the epitome of bend. But don't break.
Speaker 1: If you give up eighteen, you're gonna have a chance
Speaker 1: to win. Everybody, that's right, I mean, but you're going
Speaker 1: to Kansas City, and shoot, most teams are playing Kansas City.
Speaker 1: You probably got to score and the high twenties at
Speaker 1: a very at the ultimate minimum. Right, You saw the
Speaker 1: Bills Monday Night Football where they said we're gonna play
Speaker 1: small ball. We're gonna keep everything in front of us,
Speaker 1: and they just gassed them on the grounds. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: your poison against Kansas City. It is. It's almost like
Speaker 1: when you when you talk to Coach Gaze on the
Speaker 1: Adam Gay Show about DeAndre Hopkins, You're like, you almost
Speaker 1: you almost know that he's gonna get his but how
Speaker 1: much can you contain him? It's like the same thing
Speaker 1: for the offense though of the Chiefs, right, It's like
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna do something somehow, but how how
Speaker 1: do you want to defend? Do you want to make
Speaker 1: you wanted to be Clyde Edwards, Hilaiir? Do you want
Speaker 1: to be Patrick Mahomes and Tyree Hill and Travis Kelsey
Speaker 1: and all those guys. I think you gotta take the hand,
Speaker 1: take the ball out of his hands. You know. I
Speaker 1: know the Bills got crushed for it because they got
Speaker 1: just they got ripped apart on the ground. But they
Speaker 1: did have a chance to win in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: You know, if Tyreek Hill is going over your head,
Speaker 1: that scoreboard's gonna be lightening up like the fourth of July. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they have a great they have a great pass
Speaker 1: catching tight end two and Kelsey and Hartman and tremendous speed,
Speaker 1: and you know it's just and Andy Reichs play hon ers,
Speaker 1: tremendous yes. And speaking of the Kansas City Chiefs, let's
Speaker 1: check in with Bart Scott for our Victor Knox Swiss
Speaker 1: Army Knife Player of the Game segment. Bart, the Jets
Speaker 1: face the Chiefs in Kansas City. I'm sure you could
Speaker 1: go in a number of different directions, but who is
Speaker 1: your player or what is your matchup to watch Sunday.
Speaker 1: I mean, for me, it's always McKay Beckton because he's
Speaker 1: such a dominant player. He's the most dominant player I
Speaker 1: believe on the Jets. Him matching up against maybe Frank
Speaker 1: Clark or whoever they decided to go over there, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a show because now that I think that
Speaker 1: they can believe that and confirm what they what they
Speaker 1: always believe that this guy was one of the best
Speaker 1: to have the potential to be a Hall of Fame player,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna put the pressure on him. He can
Speaker 1: take the pressure and he's only getting better. I love
Speaker 1: the the te that they had with the receiver and
Speaker 1: him pulling around and you know, watching everybody that was
Speaker 1: on the train tracks. You know, make a business decision,
Speaker 1: and you gotta lean to him not only in the
Speaker 1: run game, but also in the passing game, giving everybody
Speaker 1: else help because you're starting to get a lot of
Speaker 1: interior pressure, so you can turn the protection, which makes
Speaker 1: it hard to blitz in the middle. But it leaves
Speaker 1: Beckton on an island. I think he's ready to have
Speaker 1: Backton Island, you know, put him up there with some
Speaker 1: of these seriously, to put him up there with some
Speaker 1: of the other greats that were able to have islands.
Speaker 1: And we know what I'm talking about in Derrell Rivas Hey,
Speaker 1: I got Rivas Island here, I got mad Backer Island
Speaker 1: over here, and good minds thinking like I can't believe
Speaker 1: you're aligned with me today. I'm taking McKay back in
Speaker 1: verse Frank Clark. Frank Clark can get after the quarterback.
Speaker 1: He's got three sacks so far this year. And I
Speaker 1: think for the Jets to stay in the ball game,
Speaker 1: Bart they got to possess the ball. Let's see if
Speaker 1: they can get that run game going. I thought the
Speaker 1: game plan was very good early against the Buffalo Bill's
Speaker 1: Frank Gore got on track and so did La Michael
Speaker 1: p Ryan and the big ticket as he is called,
Speaker 1: McKay backed and get now to the second level. I
Speaker 1: want to see that. I don't want to see Tyrand
Speaker 1: Matthew coming up with interceptions and being such a menace
Speaker 1: for Jets quarterbacks. I want to see him maybe matched
Speaker 1: up with McKay Beckton a time or two. You know
Speaker 1: you can do that. Or you have to do is
Speaker 1: force force him to step up and step and replace
Speaker 1: crack replaced because if you take this guy but black
Speaker 1: a big because we have the big receivers and ma'am's
Speaker 1: and you have the big receiver impairment. Let's see if
Speaker 1: he's gonna be available. But if he comes down and
Speaker 1: he hits a defensive end or he hits a linebacker
Speaker 1: and that forced the edge supporter to come up and
Speaker 1: have to you know, the force defender to come up
Speaker 1: and have to set the edge and um, you know,
Speaker 1: let's see if you can set the edge against you know,
Speaker 1: against Beckton and if he decided you know, the thing
Speaker 1: about Beckton been so big, if you decide to cut him,
Speaker 1: you can just fall on top of you, which is
Speaker 1: a reverse pancake. And if you if not, you stand
Speaker 1: the training tracks. He can hurt your felis because you
Speaker 1: think you know Derrick Henry has a stiff arm. He
Speaker 1: has a six inch punch. You know, arrival by Bruce Lee.
Speaker 1: You know you guys are talking about McKay Beckton. I
Speaker 1: feel like I have to mention Patrick Mahomes here and
Speaker 1: this judge defense gonna be facing Patrick Mahomes. But it's
Speaker 1: not just Patrick Mahomes, It's Tyreek Kale, It's me, Cole Hardman,
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins to Marcus Robinson, Travis Kelsey, Clyde Edwards, a
Speaker 1: layer in the backfield. So for me, it's how is this?
Speaker 1: Did you purposely leave one out? He hasn't been there
Speaker 1: a while. I feel like he needs a couple of
Speaker 1: games to get to get acclimated to the offense. He
Speaker 1: only at thirty some yards in his debut. But I
Speaker 1: understand the point. But here's my thing, Bart, if you're
Speaker 1: the Jets defense, if you're Greg Williams, it's almost like
Speaker 1: a pick your poison type of matchup for this defense.
Speaker 1: So if I were to hand you the keys to
Speaker 1: the playbook, Bart, how do you defend this Chief's offense?
Speaker 1: And in particular, Patrick Mahomes. We have to understand one.
Speaker 1: You have to keep Mahomes offend the pocket. You know,
Speaker 1: he actually has more accord outside the pocket than he
Speaker 1: is in the pocket. And what you want to make
Speaker 1: sure that you do is you make sure that you
Speaker 1: double everybody. You keep too high safeties. And you said,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna beat us, it's gonna be because you
Speaker 1: run for three hundred yards. And um, you hope that
Speaker 1: those running backs, you know, get tired of pull a
Speaker 1: hamstring for all the yards. You've given up a poster
Speaker 1: letting my own kill you with one one place strikes
Speaker 1: you make you know, Clyde Edwards a layer, you know,
Speaker 1: make sure that he had holds onto the ball. You
Speaker 1: make sure when you get there, you get there angry,
Speaker 1: and you make sure that you you send him a message.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's like dying a slow death, supposed
Speaker 1: to die to fast room. And you hope that during
Speaker 1: that process, you know, somebody jumps off side, somebody has
Speaker 1: a holding call. You forced him to have to block you,
Speaker 1: and then hopefully they get behind the sticks and then
Speaker 1: that's where you can you can get putts. And you
Speaker 1: know we've seen that, we've seen you know, the the
Speaker 1: We've seen the strategy of what teams will trying to do.
Speaker 1: We've seen the Chargers and what they was able to
Speaker 1: do an accomplice with Herbert getting his first start. Make
Speaker 1: sure they're just attacking with four people because if you
Speaker 1: blitz him, he's gonna make you pay for the bliss
Speaker 1: because you're gonna have one on one with so many
Speaker 1: guys that can run fast. And then then the natural
Speaker 1: instinct for the corners is gonna be able to playoff
Speaker 1: and give a cushion. Well, my homes has learned how
Speaker 1: to to give you death by a thousand paper cuts,
Speaker 1: because he'll throw that tin yard fifteen yard comeback until
Speaker 1: you dare to come up there, and then that's when
Speaker 1: he's gonna try and go over your head. You gotta
Speaker 1: stay disciplined and stick with the game plan, no matter
Speaker 1: if he had success or not. I think you're exactly right.
Speaker 1: You gotta make the Chiefs kick field goals if possible.
Speaker 1: The Jets have been better defensively on third down in
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks the Dolphins one and nine,
Speaker 1: the Bills three of eleven, and last week they were
Speaker 1: great in the red zone. Buffalo zero or five. Kansas
Speaker 1: City is a completely different animal. Bart just want to
Speaker 1: ask you real quickly. On the other side of the ball,
Speaker 1: we both put McKay Beckton under the spotlight. But what
Speaker 1: do the Jets do against the pressure that teams are
Speaker 1: going to continue to throw against them? Like the Bills
Speaker 1: did in the second half where they got their safeties
Speaker 1: involved defensive backs blitzing, and the Jets weren't able to
Speaker 1: get anything going offensively. You know, you know, you know
Speaker 1: that Tyrone Matthews is going to be coming off the
Speaker 1: edge and they've been giving up you know, defensive backs
Speaker 1: coming off the age shape and you know, really you
Speaker 1: know and able to have success with that. So, like
Speaker 1: I said, the hardest thing to do is to do
Speaker 1: do term protection where you put the you know, the
Speaker 1: you put the running back on the same side as
Speaker 1: Beckton and he's there to get all the leakers. But
Speaker 1: you're expecting it not to be a lot of leakers
Speaker 1: because back is that way, and you slide and you
Speaker 1: turn the protection. You turn the protection. Instead of people
Speaker 1: facing forward, they face slightly this way so that somebody's
Speaker 1: coming they can just ear hold them and knock them
Speaker 1: out their face. And if they got to squeeze to
Speaker 1: a hole if everybody's turned like a fence this way
Speaker 1: and you stack it up, and it's the hardest defense
Speaker 1: to get through. Usually to be termed protecting, you have
Speaker 1: to try and loop all the way around to the
Speaker 1: opposite side in between becking, because it's gonna become a
Speaker 1: natural hole. But that's the whole, almost like punt punt um.
Speaker 1: It's almost like punt um protection where you see the
Speaker 1: personal protector off to a side and everybody else slides
Speaker 1: and him and beck him be on the back side.
Speaker 1: That way. It allows, you know, you to be able
Speaker 1: to see everything coming and nothing can get through the middle.
Speaker 1: It has to come, you know, it has to come
Speaker 1: from the outside. They have to find the short side.
Speaker 1: And the short side I just gonna be McKay beckman
Speaker 1: side and you hope that he could hold up better
Speaker 1: than trying to act those individuals in the middle center
Speaker 1: guard and guard to hold up all right. That was
