Inside the Jets with Bart Scott and EA (10/23)

an excellent show in store for you tonight. It's Linebacker University because Darren Lee is hereby, and so is Jordan Jenkins as well, and we've got our linebacker up here that is the mad Backer. Bart Todd Bowles said the Jets have to develop a killer instinct after squandering a fourteen point lead in the fourth quarter against the Miami doll Funds. When the Heck coach says killer instinct, well what goes through your mind? But we're going to get into all that. But how can you sit here so calm?

Did you just see the panic were for everybody out here? It was we were like ducks, right, we were calm on the service, but our feet was flapping. We couldn't hear anything. Ten seconds before the show, we couldn't hear anything. Guess what it was ladies and gentlemen. It wasn't a breaker, wasn't a transformer. They forgot to plug it in. Wow, anybody that that I t T ticket education came in. Man, you know. But at any time I hear Brittany's voice back at ESPN, I was nervous and I know good shape.

And by the way, we've been taking taking care of Brittany with the coffees. Yeah, let me tell you something, man, Brittany. Brittany hit me with the but dan then the tail pipe to pump fake. You know. So I'm texting her on the way to the show and I'm like, hey, because you know, I lost the bet. I owed her coffee for everybody didn't know. We had a bet that Chris can't he would come in to work six minutes late. He came in seven minutes late. So I lost the bet,

you know, so I owe her. I think pumpkin. I don't speak coffee. I don't speak Starbucks, something with y'all, something with pumping spice in it, older that. But then she hit me with the punk fake because I call her and then she wasn't even then work that day. So I'm sitting up here, I am in Starbucks in line, about to jeopardize my you know, my job, and she's not even there. I come in with hot coffee, she's not even there to drinking. So thanks a lot, Brittany

Sor come on now. But I'll tell you what. She's got a good taste that she's going for the pumpkin spice. Yeah. Absolutely, yeah, it's good to have good taste with somebody else's money. I'm balling on the budget, man, I ain't making that money like these boys right here. No more this this, this, This is what I This is what I hate. This is what I missed most about playing in the NFL. I never had to I never had to buy Christmas presents, right I never had to buy myself any gym shoes

because we all had a Nike deal. And these guys come here swagged out in Nike. You know what I mean, because it's free ninety nine and I'm sitting here having to go to foot locker wait in line for some George. So late in your career when you had that lucrative deal, I mean, how much was that stipend so you could take care of those Christmas kists? Well, I wasn't a quarterback. So Mims was like, yeah, yeah. MYMS was like, well I could have qualified for No, I ain't even gonna

go there, no shots fight on sanchize. Um, you gotta take it easier. But well, you know what I think, Moms like fifty thousand. You know, Darren's the first round draft pick from Ohio State, so he probably took a pay cut to come to the NFL. So you know, his contracts probably about two twenty five. You can't even spend you can't spend that. And the thing is, if you don't spend it before the end of the season, then it rolls over. So it's like it's it doesn't

roll over, so you lose it. So you find yourself just buying. Everybody found his decked out in a Nike gear, which I'm sure everybody your friends decked out of knock gear. All right, listen, So part is it is known for a few jokes once in a while, and now he takes a shot the Ohio State University and won't let darrenly the game is week two. Oh my god, huge game, oh Ohio State Penn State. We'll talk to Darren about that momentarily, but let's talk about the New York Jets

did a lot of times. I was trying to avoid it, you know what I mean. Listen, this is inside the Jets. And I know you want to make this parking with part, but it's inside the Jets. So what happened in the fourth quarter and when the head coach says we got to develop a killer instinct, Well, speaking about the killer instinct, you know, when you're a head, it's just natural for you to relax, right and you you try and and just make it to the end of the game. You

try and win, but you don't. You're not as a as aggressive as maybe you were early in the game. And what happens is the the opposing team is desperate. They have nothing to lose, so so they're doing things that maybe they wouldn't do if the game was tight. And I feel like what happens is when you give up some plays, you start getting tight and momentum shifts and it takes a mature squad to really understand how to weather the storm but still be coming the eye

of hurricane and they have to develop that. This was the This wasn't the first time that we saw this happen with this young Jets team, and they're learning lessons. The first time it happened, at least that I really picked up on it was in Jacksonville, right where the game should have been over with. And what happens is you don't want to make it interesting to the you know, at the end of the game. So you have to

learn how to get a killer instinct. You have to make sure that you continue to make the team figure out to think that it's not their day. And to do that, you gotta continue to play smart and you have to make the plays that present themselves. But you can't give a big place. You have to understand situational football.

So you talk about having a killer instinct, it's about still doing the little things and not giving teams opportunity to see the light and not give them a chance to see his momentum, because momentum is crazy because when you lose, it is hard to get it back. Listen to Jets were playing great, complimentary football for the first three quarters of that ball game, and what we saw

in the fourth quarter was field position. People talk about it and hitting yards and things like that, but when you look at how the Dolphins got back into this game their first scoring drive in the fourth quarter was forty two yards. Kenny Stills gets open on a third and seven play where the Jets have their four safety package in the game. Terrorice Brooks comes off the edge, looks like he was gonna get Matt Moore there for a second, but Matt Moore dials up the long ball

to Stills, who gets a step on. Bust your screen, and before you know it, it's early in the fourth quarter. It's then penalties raised their ugly heads in that fourth quarter. UM twelve penalties I think at all for the Jets over a hundred yards UM taken back. Now, what do you what do you do? As far as Todd Bowles is concerned, you're talking about a young team learning to finish things like that with with the penalties, Well, it's about being disciplined and you have to understand who you're

playing and who the referees are. I'm sure Darren um Jordan can tell you. I'm sure they still get the Scotting report on not only the team, but the refereee rees. Is this a staff, It's this a crew that's gonna allow you to play or are they gonna be ticky? Tag? Are you gonna have to be more disciplined and maybe cover more with your feet. Now I understand it was

a bad It was a bad field surface. So what happens is if you don't really plan off the correct foot, right, if you plan out the off the outside foot and not the inside foot, you know what I mean, what happens is, I'm sorry I said that backwards, if you don't plan out the outside, but then you lose your footing. So all the little things are magnified when you have a bad surface, and you have to understand you have to sink your weights. You have to come, You have

to come, You have to come to balance. When you want to make a big hit, you may not get that big hit, so you have to adjust um to the to the crew, but also to the field surface, which you know, the field was a mess cores in Miami, right, but they're playing on the same fields, but the advantage goes to the offense. Right. So Kenny Steals knew exactly where he was going. So you have to understand what

you got going on. And sometimes the system can help you as well because you can play more of his own and understanding formation, you know, and a lot of times a young team and young defense. They don't understand formation because formation tells you you know, what they can do,

what they can't do. And Matt more Sometimes the best thing and the worst thing that ever happens is a starting quarterback get gets hurt because you prepare for one quarterback all week and then when he comes in, it's unexpected. You don't really know what his strengths, what his weaknesses is, who he has chemistry with, who he practices with, you know. So it wasn't surprising to me that a guy like Kenny Steells is the beneficiary uh playing with Matt Moore,

because that's probably who he plays with in practice. More so, he has a feel or where Kenny likes the ball. He can understand that non verbal communication. You know. That's why a lot of times, you know, depend on who the quarterback is. You wanna yo, you want to you want to make sure that you don't drive Jay Cutler into the ground. You want to help him up. You're okay. I sacked you, but you're okay, right because you want to keep him in the game. I remember being responsible,

us being responsible for getting Ben broselsberger career started. Um sacking Timmy Max and put him out the game, and like, let the young kid get to start. He almost came back. So the Jets did a lot of good things on Sunday in Miami. They raced out to another lead. They scored on two of their first three possessions. They had two takeaways. Marcus May continues to flash in that secondary with an interception Jamal Adams. That's because he came on

his show. Yeah, that's right. You can expect these guys get at player defensive player of the week co you know, because they're donna step on the stage right here. So good. Well, I'll tell you what. Both of these guys played solid games. You look at j j I. E. We talked about it all last week. Hey, the Jets have to contain this guy because we know what the Dolphins are gonna do. You look at the numbers. J j I didn't do anything against the Jets. Twenty plus carries, fifty yards. I

think it was more the penalties. The penalties were in opportune times, and they extended drives and it was opportunity to get off the football field and and in some incident bustled in. Have a choice because if he didn't, you know, commit the file, then it would have been a huge play um. But with all that being said, you know, a football game usually comes down to one or two possessions, and you know it's something to learn from.

This young team is gonna have to learn, you know, even situation football, when you're trying to come back and it's tied up, what you can do understanding what the defense does. You know, everybody that that play defense, that plays defense, understands when the clock is short that they're going to take away the sideline, take away the boundaries. The middle field is always gonna be open. It's gonna be a lot of trap coverages. They're gonna allow you

to throw the ball in the middle. They're not gonna allow you to throw the ball to the side you're referring to. Late in the game, Jets get the ball. There's forty seven seconds on the clock, three time outs left. What's the first play? What I tell you, what's the drive starters? Well, if Bart's playing offensive coordinator, is he's going with the screen or draw? Absolutely, And if you get ten yards in that screen and draw, then it's

on right. We're going forward. If now we're gonna let the clock run out, and we're gonna go to overtime. You know, when you throw the ball back, it's especially when you're in the middle of the field when you throw a deep comeback. Already, you know, a football fields fifty three yards wide, right, fifty three yards wide, So he ran uh ten yard fifteen yard comeback, so that's ten yards talking about another twenty or thirty yards to throw the ball. That's like a thirty five yard pass

right there, you know. And that was in the in the air a long time. They ran a trap coverage, you know where where they tried to show that it was man and man or on top man, free cover, three press, bell whatever. They tried to play it, but then they inverted the safety who took who took away the out route and jumped and made a big play, but it was it was a bad spot to have

a have a penalty. Uh yeah, there, you know. The one The one thing that I noticed that the Miami when I was looking at the game film today was what Miami was doing defensively late in that ball game. They were sending their safety oftentimes five guys, five rushers, and the Jets were not able to establish that red him in the fourth quarter that they had early in the game with defense. Again, like I mentioned, those two takeaways were in plus territory and what the Jets did

good on Sundays they converted those takeaways with points. You talk about. Jamal Adams comes on a blitz from the edge, he deflects it in their Mohammad Wilkerson comes up with the interception, your first in goal there. Late in the first half. McCown gets his own number called from offensive coordinator John Morton. You take a Lee fourteen, the Marcus

May intercepts Matt Moore and almost houses it. That was a nice return, gets the Jets in the plus territory there, and then ultimately you finished the drive with Josh mccollin's third touchdown past of the day to Austin Safari and Jenkins who. Now, let me give you a little stat for you right now, because a fantasy dual fantasy analysis brought to you by fan of course, have all the fantasy that football has to offer. Listen up, folks, if

you need a tight on, how about Austin Safari and Jenkins. Man. That was a seamless drop right there. Three three touchdowns in the last three games, and it should be four, but we're not gonna go back because the Jets are looking ahead. Atlanta's coming to town this week. That was smooth man, Yeah, that was really smooth. Did you like that? Maybe you get me some coffee? That was That was

a smooth with Jordan's waves. Man actually have waves like that in nineties six Brokay, Well, you're you're dating yourself right now. Now. Every day I wake up, it is a blessing that is that that I don't touch my scout. We'rena come right back here on Inside the Jets with Darren Lye. Welcome back to Inside the Jets here at Vanderbilts. We got companies, yes we do. Our player guest segment is presented by M and T Bank, the official community

bank of your New York Jets. They forementioned Darren Lee has now joined us. Darren, you were all over the against Miami, eleven tackles and all the stats say three carries for the Dolphins as a fifty three yards. You guys emphasized stopping the run and you're really effective doing that. What do you credit that success to? Uh? Obviously got a credit to the d line up front. Um obviously Mark Man just um, you know we were all we were clicking up on full cylinders on that. We came

in trying to execute the part of our game plan. Um, that's at the top of the game plan is to stop and run. We knew that was the main part of their offense. Um, try to make them one dimensional. Uh so I felt that we executed that well. A lot of credit goes to d Line. Well, how about the chemistry. It seems that you and de Mario starting to develop because it looked at and watching the film, me breaking the film down early in the season, it

didn't look like you guys on that string. And what people don't understand how important it is for you guys to be on that stream because a lot of times it's loud out there, you really can't communicate. So you have to have that non verbal communication and being able to anticipate with your partner. Next year're gonna do because if he spills, you gotta scrape forward. If he squeezes, you gotta go underknee. You know, you guys have to be on the string house that development coming on. My

mom's watching right now on Facebook. But my mom, dude, So you gotta explain some of these football terms. When you start going, yeah, I want you talking football access and all, give me a couple of definitions. Bad, I went straight to the graduate course. Let me go down to football one on one. So when I talk about spilling, that means taking the blocker on in his inside shoulder. You see the inside gap with your body, trying to put him back and make him bubble out, so that

makes the runner have to bounce the ball. So if your backside linebacker is going to be inside out of the ball, care he can scrape over the top. Understanding that the runner isn't going to be able to gain any ground because he's running laterally, not vertically. So you get over the top, hit him in the ear hole, you know, tell him about itself, and try and get

the ball of things on the flip side. You know, if you get the out blocking the down block, and said full back comes and you're taking if you're outside shoulder free, you're pretty much taking an inside gap with his body and the outside gap your body. But what that means now, it's your backside linebacker isn't going to scrape over the top, he's inside out, knowing that the runner is going to have to cut the ball inside and then you hit him with the night night. So

do you talk about that? But yeah, so I'd say the chemistry with me and called double Dan called to Mario, but I call him Morris Chess. I like fake man. Oh he go here about that one. He's heard it as over, you know what it is. So I think the chemistry with that, Um, definitely would come with just playing fast and just playing fast and having the trust

with each other. Um. We talk a lot in the film room, UM, just communicating simple things and we make I guess certain checks that he would see, the subtle checks that you see out there on the field. We make those kind of the film room. So it's just kind of innate. We go out and practice him. UM. So I think that and then just just playing fast. It's like, you know, if he sees something he place fast,

I'll make them right. UM. Just having that type of trust definitely, Uh, definitely, you know presumes out there on the field. How much of it is verbal communication and how much of it is maybe signals uh that you guys are doing pre snapp uh verbal communication. Yeah, but it's definitely just formation recognition. UM and him we see things formationwise. UM. So we aren't even kind of like it's automatic to be able to call and what check to get to. UM. So just how we go over that?

It's all starting the film and honestly, UM, we just build that connection there and then go out and practice it and then you see it out there on Sunday. About thirteen years ago, I was considered a cover linebacker as well. How are you? Yeah, back in the day, we wore leather helmets, you know, how how how are

you adjusting to the rules? Um? In the NFL as they continue to change with just how little physicality there is, and you know you can't you can't touch them after five yards, but then they're begging on you, they're pushing off, their leaning from leverage. How are you adjusting? And how frustrating is it? You know, when you have to go against a guy like Gronk and he's pushing off, he's you know, pushing your hips away, he's leaning into you, uh,

and he's getting the benefit of the doubt. How frustrating can that be? And how's it going as far as your development? Even know it's frustrating. So I think they paid Yeah, I mean it's uh, it's difficult, but I mean,

that's where preparation goes into UM. If he goes out there and allows you to execute, allows you to play fast and UM not guests just more anticipate UM and being able to timisipate those certain type of routes and giving on the formations that you get allows you to play fast and uh, you know, maybe be an interception or take away. This is a serious question for both of you. Your first NFL sack came in Week one against the Buffalo Bills. You got a sack in the

first half. The sack, yeah, I do. I do call it a sack because when you scrambled out the box, I don't know, they called, oh you you didn't you didn't review that yet? Get that. I can't watch every play man, I got kids, all right, So do you deal gets a sack in the first half when you guys are reviewing that and everybody at home knows what I'm talking about? Is there anything you can do differently?

That's a serious question. If I were to do anything differently, it would basically make me play slower, and that's not allowed. So I can't do anything different. First of all, I'm lost. I have no idea what you guys are talking. You guys talk. You talk about me explaining, spill the ball, squeeze the ball. But you're just gonna talk right over my head like that, like I don't count. Slow down. Here Sently came out of blitz yesterday. Okay, he took

down Jatler behind the line of scrimmage. I think I'll get going to get natch and that was a sec But unfortunately we saw a piece of laundry go up in there and they rule what targan or how many? Yeah, you're right, you're right. But I get so confused nowadays because I'm watching that and what I'm saying, well, there's there no way that Well it's a dilemma, right because what happens is for people out there that understand, you know, the target is strict, strucking stricken strucking man. I got

I promise you. Got prom with you, guys. I have a sociate's degree in universal studies. I promise you. Um. But I believe it's right underneath the chin to the about the waist man, because if you hit him anywhere in the thigh boarder, even the little lower, it's gonna be called you know, that's the tom Brady route. You

can't hit him low. So it's tough for you as a defender because if you hit him in the mid session, you know your body if you're not going to get the helmet, the helmet contact, you're going to get the driving with your body weight, which is to me, is the dumbest call ever. Like, I don't know, I don't want to make this in and you know a big

thing about the officials. I just a serious question when you're watching this on on film and I'm looking at it on saying I I don't know how we're we're seeing this as a penalty here, but anyway, how quickly you turn the page now to Atlanta Because the guys who spoke to the media today said we have a twenty four hour rule, win or lose. We gotta put it behind us, no matter what happened. Uh yeah, well, I mean inside you know that question right there. For

the game, it's behind us. You know, we watched the film, got our corrections, so new we're focused on Atlanta. UM amazing, basically focused on finishing. We're gonna emphasize that for sure, um and try to get a job done on something whatever you guys learned from being from Jacksonville to Miami. So when this, when you get in another tight game, what's some things that you guys have to do? What are some things that you can't do? Uh to secure victory?

So that you know, because when you're a tight game, nine times ten you win half of them. So the key has not been in those tight games. What have you guys learned as a group collectively? As a group collectively, we have to continue to you know, come out with that same intensity that we have and say the first half, we gotta play to win the game, not play not

to lose or play scared. Um. And then you know when you see that, uh, you see simple mistakes and those they start to pile up, and it's just as a young team and you saw saw him on the film. Um, you know we corrected those and now we just gotta keep attacking and stay in attack mentality. Um, And both sides of the ball were aware of that. What do you think about more Wilkerson yesterday? I thought it was the best game of the season, not just because of interception.

He made a hell of a play on the screen to j G I E A third and eight team where it looked like a gi e was definitely gonna get the first down, and Moll came out of nowhere showing its athleticism. Yeah. I saw that a film and I was, you know, just amazing. You know, a big fellow can running get down the field. Um, but you know that's why, you know, that's why he's here. He's act of a playmaker as a leader, and that's what

leaders do. On top of that, it was his birthday, so you know, you know, birthday birthday games go and go out and ball out. Listen that ide. He loves his little pause there. Hey, um, you know one thing that I find very interesting right now is I really liked the combination with you and Tomorrow, especially heading forward, because when Tomorrow was drafted, a lot of people were you just saying that, hey, maybe he's gonna be the

athletic speed guy. And he does have good athletics, says I mean, and he is fast, but but not for the board. But it's okay. But but now pairing up with the Lee, he's playing more of that thumper role and and Darren is covering the field. How did their attributes match up and potentially give this duel? You know, uh, well, an opportunity for long term success. Well, we all we all assume roles, right, So you know when when de

Mario came in, he was my backup. He was brought in to be like the uh cover linebacker come in and some of our speed packages. Darren came in the same way. And we assume roles in football, right, we all assume roles. Where the Mario was known for running and being an athletic guy, but now that's not the role he has now. Now he has to be the thumper. And um, I think early in the season, the first

couple of games, he he struggled with it. I think now he's accepting his role and I think he's flourishing. I think he's playing probably you know, top five back in this league right now. But what it gives you gives you scheme versatility. When you have two guys that can run on the football field. Now, when the defense wants to go in and get their Scotting report, they're gonna label you. They're they're gonna say you're this type

of linebacker, and he's that type of linebacker. But what happens is now Toy Bowls has the ability to to to to play the bait and switch right where one of these guys are are usually better than switching. Both of them can blitch, both of them can cover to the line the tight end, so they can't assume where the cover just coming from. So you can play that game. How noticeable is it for you as a player out

there to speed difference from year to year. They're considering last season the unit what you guys have going right now, just with the guys that we have on defense, I mean playing very fast um. And you know, I think that's building the chemistry as a whole as defense. And you know that's Jordan's same thing. You know, we're all just playing fast because you know, we're all trying to get to the ball, trying to make that play. But

we're doing our job and executing. Um. As a comparison to last year, I mean to me night and day, Um'll be look at I fast out there, especially on film. UM, And that's good. You know, I think our coaches are putting this some great positions to enable us to play fast. Um. And then we got a bunch of fast guys out

there too. It's a game slowing down for you now where you can be more instinctual and not thinking about where you need to be, worried about your proper stepps, making sure you don't fall step and things like that. How has just happen? A year under your belt, two years in the system helped you become a better football player this year? Uh? Definitely, you know had it, you know,

growing parents. Um, still a little bit here and there, but definitely the Marios helped with that tremendously because you know he's playing this before. Um, but you know he's probably helping an aspect and just a little subtle clues to help me play play faster. Um. And I can't give you credit to him. He didn't. He didn't tell you the wheel barrow story. Did he didn't. If you say it's the wheelbarrow story, just walk out the room. Don't even let him finish. Now, now you're old State guy.

Old State got a big game this week. I think I heard about it right State, Open State. Now you you're you're not a Nike guy, but you got Nike Garol, but you don't have a shoe contract. No, no, no, have you potentially thought about I hear big baller brand is gonna come out with Have you thought about being picked up a big baller barand uh, first of all,

shout out a big baller brand. Man. You know, man, you don't really know, you know for sure, but nothing nothing yet but not in the works, not nothing, no big baller brand. Thanks for being a good sport Darrenly, we're gonna come right back with one of your fellow linebackers, of course on the New York Jets. That's Jordan Jenkins.

All right, listen, Uh we're back here on inside the Jets, and we're probably gonna have a raffle for another co host here in a moment, because uh, bart is really taking his discipline problems to a new level out here tonight. I can't believe it. And we are joined right now by or in Jenkins part he is representing the state of Georgia. Listen, this is airing on Facebook in New York, ches dot com and later on ESPN Radio. But quick, who who finishes rain higher? Georgia, Ohio State? All them

dogs on top? Now? I well, I want to say famously, I put my Ferrari up against in Bentley right for you guys win a certain amount of games. What are you guys willing to bet that Georgia finishes hired in Ohio state box my Xbox to his Xbox. Okay, so you guys once, y'all a millionaires. You talking about Xbox? What Xbox? What Xbox? Uh? Game? It ain't even three six two Kstinity Call of Duty? Uh? Play a little bit of Dragon Age? Mix it up a little. Who's

your team? Two K? I played with the Warriors because everyone plays with the calves. Well, yeah, d Lee definitely plays with the calves. Yeah he's but I mean real big cavalier. He got a Cavalier colors on now. But but nobody can play like stau front Runners. Okay, see or the tea Pops or anything like. You want to come back on the mics. I mean, we gotta bring everybody up. I mean, these guys are going back and forth right now. They're supposed to be, you know, tight.

That's the same drift class. That's a little look into what the locker room is all about. All right, So Jordan's we're not gonna bury the lead. Let's talk about the hit on a cutler. You you got in there. Let's just talk about the rush first, because this guy hasn't done all his film study yet. So I might be looking for a new co host. What what was it? Was a long arm stab? Was it a slap rip?

What was it? Was? Bull? Stutter ball stutter bull and a straight bull, straight bull off the snap, nice helmet into helping into his jaw. Did you know right away that he was hurting? I knew I hit him pretty hard and not trying to drive me in the ground a little bit. You know, it makes I hope you don't get that envelope, that FedEx that that was perfectly

just how you listen. We're not getting anybody in truck out here, just so you guys know, like you never know that you got fine until you until you come in Wednesday after your day all. And if it's a FedEx envelope on your your your your stool, you already know. And how many findes did you get in your playing career? Well, the worst one I got is when I threw the referee flag in the stands. I think that will call

for you about forty huh kids look that up. Of course that was a Monday night football games, the Monday night fel Yeah, I'm trying to fight the ref. It was a bad day. The Baltimore Ravens versus the New England Patriots. Yeah, what not to do? The Patriots team will finish something. They didn't know what to do. They was like, listen, it's never been done before. We don't even know how to let you. We don't even know what with the start. I'm glad I could be your first.

Can you imagine this guy picking up yellow and just tossing it everywhere? Oh that's bold. Yeah, I mean that's probably Travis Kelsey got a last. But you know what, my street crew went up. You know what I'm saying. I'm good in the hood. All right, all right, Jordan Um, talk about the success, the success you guys had against the run because you are key performer in this run defense,

because you are the guy in the strong side. I mean, it was something we really are harped on all last week because we knew we weren't real performing as well as we should have throughout this whole season against the run. We like to be known as just a run stopping defense, and frankly, we just hadn't been getting done all seasons. So we really will work on making sure we would't have the right fits and just making sure everybody was just knew they had to be physical this game if

we wanted to come out on top. What happened in the fourth quarter? Uh, you know this is the last time you're gonna have to talk about it, um from us anyway here on Monday night, you might have to face a couple of questions and Wednesday. From a defensive perspective, though with lead, I know each man in that locker room thinks that you guys should be walking away with a victory. So from a defensive perspective, what do you think happened? We just had Uh we weren't Uh, we

weren't completely focused. I mean, uh, if we were dialed in, we wouldn't have had some of the penalties we had, and we wouldn't have put ourselves in situations where you might get a penalty. There's a time where we had h one of our guys had to edge that, but it was a soft deed, so the guy the runner could still run outside. And we put some of our line uh linebackers in tbs in the position they really shouldn't ever had to be in if we would have had a harder edge ship from the get go. Now

did the heat started to play a factor? Late in the game it was reported that was but ninety two degrees. The field was bad, but there were too But there definitely probably was some wearing tearing some of guys out there. But I mean, it's that goes for both teams, So we shouldn't uh, we should have been able to play

through that adversity. So positive you guys always look at the film on Mondays, what did you see from your perspective as far as looking at it from a view of sixty minutes of defensive football, I saw a lot of guys given it, They're all a lot of guys really playing really good football. And but at times and other times I saw guys playing on this win football and playing individual football, and as a defense really just

have to work. We have to work more towards being more consistent and eliminating some of the selfish play and just really coming together more as a defense and just eliminating some of the uh, immature areas we had in the fourth. When you say selfish play immateur play, do you mean that guys might be over extending themselves in an effort to make the play instead of maybe taking care of their own role and responsibility, Like I know. My job is to set the edge, make sure the

ball didn't get outside. If I peek inside trying to make a play, ball bounces out. They hit us for fifteen yards. That's my fault, and that was because I wanted. I tried to make a play that wouldn't mind to make. In the defense, you gotta know your role and you have to perform well at that role. So Bart talked before about preparation going into a game. You guys are looking on a lot of film at Jay Cutler when

Matt Moore comes in. What happens from a defensive perspective with you guys on the sidelines, when you're huddling it up and then you're saying, hey, here's a new quarterback. Because a lot of teams sometimes say system, we're gonna approach it the same way. But is there anything as far as keysy and talk about when a new guy comes Well, I guess what we were really trying to get to. How did their game plan change once Matt

Moore came in the game. Was it more of a quick passing game with it more shots down to field? What changed when Matt Moore came into the game. I felt like when when Matt gotten into the game, they really just tried. They try to do anything they try.

They got desperate and tried to do anything they could in their playbook to get things going because they got they got away this away from some of the stuff they would do with Cutler in and uh, I mean they hit us once or twice, but we really shot ourselves in the foot and allowed them to keep going down the field with some of those What has it been like for you this year working under Kevin Green?

Guy has more set acts that any linebacker in the history of the National Football League and he's coaching up outside linebackers this year. I mean, working with Kevin Green

is it's just, uh such an honor. I mean, uh, people, we really don't even realize it, and we probably won't realize until we're done playing ball that this was such a great honor to uh work under KG, because I mean you look back and filming KG was destroying people like he destroyed tackles that are probably three forty and back in the day case he was only about maybe two thirty two forty and he he just was a dominant outside linebacker that knew how to get after quarterback.

They knew what it's at the edge, and it's uh there's there's some learning curs that we have to go through and uh it, uh it. All I can say is I'm glad we got KG and it's gonna work better for you. I know this guy liked him because not only was he was one of my favorites ferocious player, but he also participated in some wrestling like this guy. That's all that's true. I got tapped out by Curtain. It wasn't my finest moment, but it's so cost I

lived to find another day. And George are you, Oh yeah, I hate it. I used to hate curd and go back to day. I saw he came back and I was, well, you gotta you gotta get the baby. You gotta get. You gotta give me your top five, give me your top five. Let's see top five all time, all time, all time. I gotta throw Chris Jericho in there. Oh he's so young, Chris Jericho. Okay, I'll put to you with the young guys. My favorite John She is one

of my favorites. That's nothing but Martye, Marris Jericho and the Hardy Brothers. They count this one. Hardy Brothers Okay, you want to hear my top five? No, not really, but yeah, go ahead one here. It depends on how you want to go. You can go um Mr Wonderful Paul arned Off, You can go ravishing Rick Rude. I gotta go hawking Animal because Ohio states in the house to road warriors, right. And you gotta go with Hawk

Holding because he revolutionized sport. He took it global. It's kind of like Mohammed he's taking not that he was the best because he was limited. You don't have like three or four moves. But if I can go back, I could probably go. Also Flair, you got you gotta you gotta go nature Ball got many times I got a trouble by putting my nephew in the finger four leg lock. Yeah, I got kicked out of my ground, my house every week today. Hey, let me tell you

something you guys are forgetting about. Roddy. Yeah, Piper, Piper's pit was real. You can go Georgia, best show around, Ricky the Dragon steam boat. You know what I mean? But everybody around here, Tito Santana lives in Dover, so you gotta go Tito Santana. Okay, So, uh, let's get back football just for a moment. Okay, okay, I get excited with Allen Park, Scott Here, Vanderbilts and Jordan Jenkins got tickets. I'll tell you what. Um you are Georgian native.

You're playing Atlanta this week? Did you grow up a fan of the Fucus? I actually did, because so much time moving around as Millet's doing the thirty birth dance up here. We can't see that on radio. But you know, growing up in uh, in Georgia, every everybody was Falcons fan. All my woys back home. I've been seeing me text all yesterday. You gotta get we're playing tickets. I probably got no scouting report, man right now. Probably tickets so far.

But alright, you're covered travels now your travels. But I mean this is a big game for me, you know. Uh, I mean Falcons is like that's a team everybody loved growing up. That's a team everybody cheered for. Everyone was like, oh, we gotta go to the Falcons game this Sunday. Oh we gotta go to Falcons is. Everything is Falcons fans back home. Man. I mean, it's it's a big week for me, and uh, it's definitely gonna try. I'm gonna try and play my artists out there and uh try

and play back to the wall. I'm trying to play hundred miles an hour. Well, well just from the outside looking in. You know, this week we talk about setting that is it's gonna be vital this week is DeVante, Freeman and Coma are one of the most dynamic in the game. They're listen, that's a prolific tandem. But right now that's an offense trying to find its way and the rely on Maddie Ice a lot. And they've lost three consecutive games. They've lost every team in the FC East.

So maybe the Jets can make it for But so with that being said, you know they're gonna come in trying to get back on track. How did you guys walk out of MetLife staying with a victory? What do you guys have to do and how can last week help you win this week? I mean, first, first and foremost, we have to be ready to be physical. Uh we know it's gonna be physical battle up front, and we

have to make sure we win that. And also we have to eliminate on the middle areas and eliminate the eliminate the penalties we had last week because this uh, we we got away with it once or twice throughout the season, and this game really showed us that we have to get better now if you want to get wins in the future. What does Top Bowls doing in a practice as far as eliminating the penalties are concerned, Because he talked about that today. This is not something

that he's just gonna emphasize right now. He's been stressing throughout the year. Yeah, I mean, gassers are definitely on uh on one of the punishments for jumping offside and getting getting some of the penalties, and uh, honestly, they're probably gonna get harsher and harsher if we keep letting them keep getting as many penalties as we had last game. What was it? A fine line between playing aggressive and under control and you know, still trying to be aggressive

at the same time. How do you find that balance? I I mean it's it's a hard one to find. Uh, Me as a younger player and Darren as well, we're still trying to find find that line. And uh, it's uh, it's a tricky one because you really want to just go flying in a thousand miles per hour and just try and level somebody when you get the chance. But in this day and age, you can't do that all

the time. You have to find a way to be safe as you're doing it well, Jordan, thank you so much for joining us tonight, and good luck this weekend, of course, and we'll come right back here on Inside the Jets in preview the Jets and the lineup falls. All right, we're back at Vanderbilt's for a final segment here on Inside the Jets, Eric Ellen along with part Scott. I told you I was gonna find a new co host, and indeed I did. Brielle McKnight has now joined us

on SAD I'm sober. I'll tell you what. Brielle has been following Inside the Jets loyally for three four years every week. Thank you for joining us. All right, superstar in the making. Let me tell you something. The trip of the game is brought to you by Antiqua in Bermuda. The beach is just the beginning part. And I'll tell you the trip of the game for the Jets yesterday was John Morton having the Jets offense firing on all

cylinders after they got the ball at the kickoff. Uh. They actually won the coin toss and usually typically they defer, but they take the ball down beautiful play called screen the ball paal thirty one yards. They culminate that possession with the scoring pass. I believe Josh McCown checked out and he got one on one coverage with Jermaine Curse on a Dolphin's corner back on the outside boom Man touchdown. Uh.

So the Jets got out in front seven nothing. It would be great if they can do that again this week against Atlanta. It's important as well because you want to get ahead and let the deepense play from the head, so then they can be aggressive as well, and it also gets the other team out of the game plan. You know, you talk about taking the taking the ball. Usual teams defer because they want to have the choice

depend on how the game goes. But you talk about making sure that you have good field position and also being able to come out on your fift team play script and come out with a different place where you can set everything up for the rest of the game. You talk about setting up different personnels, different groupings and all those things. What do you think about that? Yeah, what do you think think it's pretty good? Yeah, what

do you think about the personnel group? And Johnny Martin's been an implementing Here is the first year's Jets off doing a good job. Yes, So my favorite player is Tomorrio Davis. No, why is tomorrow your favorite player? I've met him when I was little, super nice and he's been playing can I'll tell you what great analysis there by Brian McKnight and Tamario Davis. Of course one of your former teammates. You've known him. You just have to get my donuts. Yep, because Bart make sure that the

beginners get donuts. So maybe next week Briale will bring donuts. Um inside the Jets is supported by selective insurance. Response is everything. Mohammed Wokerson on his twenty eight birthday had a tremendous response because a lot of critics have been saying, hey, where's mo Ben and he showed up in a big way. We talked to Darren Lye about that. He gets down the field, tremendous effort play against j J I E and then again beneficiary of Jamal Adams deflection and he

comes up with an interception. Well you get that when you play hard and sometimes in football the numbers lie. And you know, you talk about pressures, that's not a stat that people really keep. You talk about being able to hold double teams, set in the ash, making a runners bounds. Those are stats, you know, and it depends on the system. Some systems are set up for for for the defensive tackles to make plays. Some are set up the linebackers to run. He's doing his job allowing

you talk about your to Mario Daves. You talked about Darren Lee having good games. That's all based on Mohammed. You'll get into respect of opposing team's offensive line, allowing his linebackers to go free and being able to split double teams. And you don't get you don't get balls like that if you're not hustling. What do we have to know about Atlanta Here, they're gonna come piste off. They're still trying to find ways to get Julio Jones.

It's gonna be tough. You know, you're gonna have to make sure you stay clean because he's a powerful guy, but you have to try and get your hands on him. Um, they're gonna have to make sure that you know that they can't get Julio Jones on track, and they're going to have to stop this run game. The hack of a show tonight thanks to Darren Lee and Jordan Jenkings, Krea McKnight and of course Bart Scott as well. We'll see you next week on the Cha
