Inside the Jets with Bart Scott, EA & Marcus Maye (10/2)

let's just start it all over here. We are at the Windham Hamilton's Park in Florida Park, New Jersey, right across the street from the Jets Complex. We'll take your calls eight hundred nine one nine seven seven six momentarily. But our player guest segment is brought to you by M T Bank, the official community bank, and the New York Jets. Batting leadoff tonight, Bart Scott, the mad backer next to you. Yeah, I got one. Woo wow. That's

what I'm talking about. Now bring my man in right, He's a rookie safety from the University of Florida, the greatest school in the United Statescolate dropped second round draft pick guy who's played very well for the Jets there and there two. And to start, let's hear it from Marcus May. Welcome, Welcome, welcome, young man Marcus Um to home games. Jets came back off the road swing on and two. But you you playing your new home, that

Life Stadium and takedown the Dolphins a dominant fashion. Then you beat the Jacksonville Jaguars, Okay, a totally different game. What was the atmosphere are like playing your first two regular season games at my Life Stadium? I mean, it was unbelievable. Uh, you know, it was a great feeling. Uh, you know, my first one, so I was very excited. I mean just to run out there and see all

the green, you know, it was very excited. Uh. You know, you always hear about matlife, but you know, just you know, running out of the time and being a part of it for pristance mean, it was great. How much did you guys feed off the fans and vice versa, because there were times during those timeouts where they got the music blaring, everybody's in their seats, They're jumping out of their seats, and that place was rocket right. Yeah, I

mean it's great. The energy and there was unbelievable, you know, just being out there and you know, having the fans behind us, and you know they're getting us excited, you know, and they're loving watching they love watching playing us. Uh. You know, it's been great just to be out there. You remember those days absolutely flexing on on on the white on whites. You know what I'm saying. Yesterday that was the first time I saw the Jets with the white face mask. The white face mask are all fire.

We need those for all sixteen regular season games in the playoffs. Now, now you're you're a young safety. Growing up, I got I guess I got two quarss. Growing up? Who did you look who did you look up to? And who do you monitor your game after? Now? Growing up, you know, I enjoyed watching you know every uh you know Sean Taylor, Bryan Dawkins. Uh, you know just you know those name guys. Uh, the way they play, you know,

the way they control the field. You know, I just enjoy it, and you know I try to, you know, model just a little bit of that. What do you think about those three part I'll tell you what. Man I played with quick Uh, to me, the best football player I've ever played with. And you know, I played with ray Lewis, I played with Reevers, I played with t Sizzle. Um to me and Read, it's the best safety I believe to ever play the game. You know a lot of people like to make the comparison between

him and Paula Malu. Paulo Malu really was an inbox safety, and Read you talk about his range, his ability once he got the interception to take it to the house. I mean, that's a great player to milla yourself of And when I think about it, Read and kind, it reminds me of you. Like you said, you, I think about a student of the game. And I see early on in you know, you got two rookie safeties that have picked up the system. But I see you guys

leading that defense. I see you guys bringing all the energy. And you know, I came in as an undrafted free agent, so I always I was looking up at everybody. Now you came in as a second round draft pick. You know, you got Jamal Adams as a first round draft pick. But I know the competitor that there has to be inside of you, you wouldn't have made it this far.

So how do you guys make each other better. And how do you guys feed off each other because I know, at the end of the day, you want to be the best safety in the in the league, and you have a great one on your team already, right, I mean, it just it just makes it that much better. Uh, you know the way we compete, um, you know, the type of player that he is and the type of player that I am. You know, it just goes hand

to hand with each other. Uh. You know, we've we've been doing a great job, you know, getting annoy each other real well on the fielding off the field. You know, on the field, we just play our games and you know they just you know, fall with each other. Inside the Jets is brought to you by Selective Insurance Responses. Everything. Speaking of responses, so what's it gonna be like between you and they? For mentioned Jamal Adams this week because L s U and Florida are playing on the field

this weekend. What's the bet? Like, what's the bet? You gotta bet something? I ain't talked to I ain't asked Hi about it yet, but I'm sure I'm gonna get him. Uh, I mean, it's it's gonna be great. You know, we're playing each other playing against each other for the past three years in college, you know, not every on the same team, and outside looking into it, you know it's gonna be great between the two schools. How much we

talked about this before bart in the summertime. I interviewed Marcus and he's he was quite a high school basketball player, recruited to play the number D one schools. You were the point guard. Now we're not the basketball now where you Kobe or you Lebron. And when I say that, I'm saying, were you jacking up thirty shots and passing one?

So where you're a facilitator? Now? Was the facila He's definitely facilitated because he's the guy and that defensive backfield who's communicating, making sure everybody is where they're supposed to be. And that's something that you really enjoy. You take pride in. How much did your basketball career help you on the football field, you know, just being that guy. You know, I always had to be vocal. You know, I feel like, you know, always in control, you know, at the point

guard UM and and back in safety. You know, you feel like you're in control of the secondary. You know, you gotta get everybody lined up. You gotta make sure everybody's on the same page. So, you know, just I think I going hand to hand with each other. Now you guys are old for two on the row. You guys are going into Cleveland. It's a tough place to play. Play in front of the They gotta have great fans. They're the dog Pounders. Crazy. Only place I've ever got

batteries thrown at me glass bottle beers. Uh so it last bottle? Yeah, yeah, they outlawed them because of Cleveland. They were throwing glass bottles, if I believe. Yeah, absolutely, you know, hated rival rivalry. But how do you guys guard it? Gets complacency coming in? Now you have success, you guys probably would be a favorite or a three point dog, which is basically like being a favorite. You know,

how do you grow out against complacency? And um, you know, how do you move forward and leave Cleveland with a victory? I mean, we just gotta stick to our script. Uh, you know, come in each day, you know, throughout the weekend, focus on what we have to focus on in practice, um, you know, and then to translate. But you know, we just can't get complacent. We gotta keep rolling because you know, in the beginning of the season, nobody expected us to

be at this point. Um, you know, we know what we have to do in our room, so you know we'll be good. So Marcus, what was it like in the locker room yesterday? Chandler Canton zero gets redemption, hits the forty one yard or they're late and overtime, the Jets moved to two and two and then in the locker room. We've all seen the scene inside that locker room is the Jets posted it on social media. TYD Bowls awards a game ball to Coney Eally who was four p ds and a key interception in that ball game.

And this was all came after he lost his sister earlier in the week. Yeah, I mean it was It was a great, great scene. Uh, you know, Coney played a great game, you know, just it just to go to show you you know, he had a you know, rough week. But you know, you know obviously he gained someone and watched over him uh as he played, you know,

and his numbers were you know, believable. Just you know, to see us come together, you know, you know, you know, family first, you know, you know, we worried about you know him and his family and stuff like that. You know, and I'll showed in that locker room scene, what did you guys do in the spring to really nurture that chemistry? And you you guys bonded and came together because I know, Coach Poles made that a big time priority that you guys were gonna trust one another. You guys were gonna

become brothers. And that started way back in the spring. H you know, I mean as soon as when we got in the building. Uh, you know, this this new class. Uh, you know I felt right away that was welcome. You know, he did a great job of you know, allowing the older guys and young guys to to mix right away. You know, he didn't keep us separated. Um, you know, he just kept you know, one team, one go. You know, he appreciate back then. You know that's still you know

what we go by. And you know he's been doing a great job of you know, leading us and you know we were all following. What's been the most rewarding thing about you know, being able to come here in New York and and and kind of live your dream on on on the biggest stages. What would have surprised you you know, being in this situation. Uh, you know just the amount of you know, the attention that you get, you know, being in New York City, you know, and

it's you know, it's it's a great feeling. You know, it's what you expected. Um, you know, and it's what you hear about. You know, you come in New York and the fans, fan base, and you know the amount of love that you know, the half of their team, um, you know, and it has been great inside the JETSIC is broadcast live from Vanderbilt Sports and Spirits right here inside the Windham Hamilton's Park Hotel. Bart Scott and I are joined by Jets rookie safety Marcus May. What happened

in Oakland? You guys were trailing a halftime. You were in that ball game. There was a turnover lay on a muff punt and to a man, everybody speaks to what happened inside the locker room at halftime and how you guys came together. And what has happened since is you dominated the Miami Dolphins and yesterday you faced adversity against the Jacksonville Jaguars and your coach said you didn't blank your squander a time point lead, but then you

found a way to win an overtime. What happened in Oakland, Um, I mean, we just knew what we had to do. We knew we couldn't you know, the week before, you know, we were not doing what we're supposed to do. So we kind of had to come together and figure it out. And you know, we just you know, came together and realized, you know, we gotta you know, turn the leaf. You know, we gotta play the ball that we know how to

play and that we practiced during the week. And you know, ever since then, you know, we've just been together and you know, we've just been on one heartbeach. How to How tough was that Monday meeting after the Oakland game, Because I know, you know, to a man, when you you know, have to sit back there and you have to watch that film, you have to take that criticism. You know sometimes you know, it's it's tough to be in there and it's it's a it's a tense situation.

You know, how was that Monday meeting? Did you guys watch all the film or did you just throw it away? Or you know, what did you learn from the film? Now? We definitely watched it. I mean, we we correct our mistakes. You know, you gotta you gotta face it. You know, we we would learn from it. Uh you know, we went we want to watch the film, and you know, we just figured out what we need to do and where where we were had to get better at. And you know, we prized it during the week and you

know we've just been doing that. Were there are some packages against Jacksonville where you guys were using four safeties because they saw ties out there on the field. He makes his comeback ever return because he suffered the eye injury against Detroit in the preseason, and that guy brings tremendous energy. T Brooks. Terrence Brooks has been playing tremendous football for you guys and then YouTube. The rookies have been playing well since the get and are only improving.

But I see forty five out there. I thought they saw four safeties on the field some defensive package. Yeah, I mean, Coach Bowl is doing a great job using us. Uh, you know, and we got a lot of different guys in our room that can do a lot of different things. Uh, so you know, and coach has been putting together but putting different packages together, you know, so he's been having fun with that. You know, we enjoyed it because we're all out that together as a secondary and you know,

just you know, see everybody playing well as good. How hype was Ryan Tez to make his regular season debut yesterday? Yeah, he was very excited. You know, as soon as they cleared him, you know, he came in, he ran in the meeting room, was like, I'm ready to go, coach. So, you know, just to see him out there, you know, find around and back out is good. Who sets the temple in the meetings? From man, you always gotta have one funny guy. Man, who who's the funny guy? Who's

the sleeper? Uh? Who's the head notedge the funny guy? Um? Probably probably Jamal? Probably Jamal Uh, Yeah, he's he's he's being Jamal all the time. So he's definitely that funny guy in our meeting room. Um, but it's probably the sleeper, probably Justice. He you know, he don't talk much burth Uh, he's quiet. So what changed yesterday against Jacksonville? Their first drive, they marched down the field, they scored a touchdown and a lot of people the stands were probably like, oh,

here we go again. This is the same old Jets, but you shut them down the rest of the way because you think about it, they scored on a scoop lateral return for Miles Jack. They got back in the ball game there. They also converted converted a short field after the second turn over there late that forced overtime at But you guys really shut down the door after that first drive. What changed? We just knew what we're

gonna get from those guys. Uh, you know, they came out and did a few different things in the first drive. But you know, once we figured it out, you know when once they got back to you know, just running the ball and we got back to what we knew what they were gonna do. Uh, you know, we just put it to it. How about overtime after Lockland Edwards delivered that seventy yard punt and you guys go out there on the field at the three yard line, what was the environment like and what were you saying to

each other on the sidelines before that drive? We knew we had to get a stop. You know, we knew it was gonna come down to us. Uh, you know, just the you know for our punter and our special teams to put us in that situation on the three yard line. We knew we had them pent back. You know, we had the fans right behind us, right behind them, and you know we knew we had to keep him in that area. So you know we can set our

offense up. What do you think spending the key differences between the first two weeks defensively and then the next two weeks defensively, because you guys have looked like a different unit now. Todd Bowles said it after the Oakland game that we will fix our mistakes. A lot of people thought that was just talked, but but it wasn't talking. You came out. You control the line of scrimmage against the Miami Dolphins limited J J I e sixteen yards

on eleven carries. You did a good job against the run against Jackson, felt contained four not he didn't get off too much. I know that the yards we're up there probably more than you guys wanted. But Bortles did have that one read option where he got away. Um. But other than that, you turned the ball into did you turn this bawling game into Blake Bortles? You gotta beat us after after putting forty four points up the week before. Is it as simple as just trusting a

man next to you? Every man do their job, you know, I know that's cliches or is it you guys are are are playing better? No, it's definitely guys doing their job. I mean we you know with our front, you know those big guys we got out there. Uh, just control the line of scrimmage, you know, big gaps down, be disciplined in our gaps. Uh. You know the communication on the back end, you know, got a lot better. Uh, you know, just getting better more and more we step

out on the field. What's been the difference between the pro game in the college game. What's been the most shocking thing to you? Uh? Probably I would say the physicality and to speed. Uh, you know, just you know, it's a lot faster. You know, the quarterbacks are a lot more precise with the ball and where they're going. Uh, you know, just learning the game more. It's about you know, learning what the appointent trying to do? Where, what's your job and stuff like that. So just becoming more of

a student other game. Now you know, now of you guys are playing better. Um, it's tied. You think has tied like loosened up to the reins and giving you guys more more tools. I'm talking about communication and freedom to play things, as you said, And what's the communication like when you go on the sidelines after the Jacksonville Jagualls have had like a a great drive went down to score. What's the communication like on the sidelines and and what did you guys do? What the adjustments that

you guys made to the formasons? Now, adjustments were big. You know, we had to switch up, um you know the coverages that we were doing because they were switching up. You know. The communication is great. You know, we come out, you know, we talked about what the players that we got, you know, what we could do. You know, different guys see different things, uh, you know, different route combinations and stuff like that, and we just try to pick it up.

All right, one more question before the break, and we're gonna take your calls here on inside the Jets nine on nine three seven seven six. Morris play Born, your teammate, said today that he thinks that you and Jamal can have an impact on this defense. A pair of rookies like the impact offensively, Zeke Elliott and Dak Proscott had on the Cowboys last year. What do you think about that? Your teammates, So that's good. I mean I feel that, uh, you know it just you know, they allow us to

you know, be ourselves. You know, they allow us to they put us in position to make plays. Uh, you know it's it's you know, one team. You know, we have a lot of a lot of good pieces. So it allows us to you know, be putting different situations too, to make plays and stuff like that. You know, our coaches and our team, you know, doing great job. Well you're off to a great start, Marcus May. Thank you so much for joining us on Inside the Jets will

Be sure to subscribe through the podcast app, and you can also listen on SoundCloud. That's the Official Jets podcast. Bart Scott Uh your impressions of rookie Marcus May.

I'll tell you what, man, I was very impressed, and you know, just a testimony, you know, during a break, I kind of had a little chalk talk and he can he can talk football with me, and that just

speaks to his coaching in college, you know. And when you can think the football game and you can flow the game down, then you're only going to be that much more successful when you can reconnize what the opponent is trying to do and communicate it to other people so that you can put people in the best positions.

Because listen, football doesn't change, It just speeds up and it doesn't get more complex, you know, and you just have to be able to to slow the game down, read your keys, and you can be successful and thing you can play for a long time and make the plays that come to you. I think he's smart, and he's steady, he's yeah, he's got something to him, both him and Jamal Adams. And I think that Jets Jets fans are gonna be talking about this draft for many

years to come. Still still sharpen still, you know. And that's why I asked the question, you know, because I'm sure he's a competitor and coming in as a second round draft pick, and you know, Jamal coming in as a first round draft pick, and you know, you fight consistently to make sure that you can make it your own name in this game. And you know, it's good

to have a rabbit. It's good to have a rabbit somebody that's in front of you, somebody that's you know, maybe getting a lot a little bit more attention, and you want to be known and seeing too. And you know it only pushes each So you've got two young players that can push each other. You know, you talk about you know, Cam Chancellor, you talk about Earl Thomas.

I think you know, going forward, they can be potentially, if they continue to work hard, improve, you know, and learn from their mistakes, be one of the best pair of safeties in the game. Yeah, and that's exciting stuff you're listening to Inside the Jets, we're taking your calls eight nine, one, nine, three, seven seven six. Let's start off with Steve and West New York. Steve, thanks for calling in, Hey guys, then taking my call. I kind a quick question for you. I understand that josh ma

Cown is not gonna be staying around too long. A lot of people why haven't I know he's not. Why haven't a lot of people talked about actually trading for a quarterback as opposed to trying to put all your stock in drafting one. Maybe someone like a Kirk Cousins. Well, you know how much money Kirk Cousins is gonna cost you. You talk about Derek Carr twenty five millions, So you're gonna pay you know, Kirk Cousins twenty six million dollars to come here and potentially not be you know, fit

for this system. When when would you trade for him? I think you should trade for him a because I think he's in his prime. He I don't think when When would you? When would you? Washington? He's a quarterback right now? They're two and Washington. But they're playing on Monday Night football here. In a couple of minutes, they just beat down Auckland Raiders. I just don't are you Are you saying sign him as a free agent when he's an unrestricted free agent if they don't franchise tag

him again? Are you speaking about then? But you can't be talking about trade for him? Yeah? You talking about an off season. No, it's gotta it's gotta be a you what, You're right, it's gotta be after free agent. But I just don't think he's gonna be able to stay in Washington. They're having some problems done with the administration. Wise they would have signed it to a long time deal.

I just don't know if the judge are going to ruin their characters with a couple of more winds and knock at that top three draft pick for someone like Sance Donaldson or something like that, Sam Donaldson, you know

that great that brings up a great point. And that's almost a subject that I wanted to talk about because you know, a lot of the fans out there want the judge and say, hey, you know, we're excited, we're glad you guys are playing well, but they're getting nervous because they want to have the number one overall pick. And you know, when you when you have that type of culture, you're talking about the culture of tanking and things like that. You know, what are you saying to

your football team? What are you saying to the current players that are fighting for their NFL career? You know, like I said, I've been a part of this, you know, coming in the league in two thousand and two after the Ravens were purged by the salary cap era. You know, they lost some players in an expansion draft when the Houston Texans came back, you know, and you know, we never thought about tanking. And what happens is you set a bad president to the people in your locker room.

And why Josh McCown is important right now because he has he allows you to evaluate all the rest of the players you have on everybody. Yeah, if he's the best player, you know, if he's the best quarterback available, you played Josh McCown, because what happens is he lets you know that, Okay, Robby Anderson can play. Okay, you know, um, you know, um allow Poles a player. Because what happens is the ball is gonna come out when they're supposed

to come out. You get to see if the receivers are breaking off their routes and see if they're on the same page with you know, professional quarterback. And you know, all this tanking stuff is it's crazy, you know to me, because who to say that you take one of these guys first and they're not Jamacus Russell, or they're not Jake Locker, or they're not one of these other players that they don't know where this guaranteed success is coming from.

Because if you go up and down the draft and look at the top quarterbacks selected over the past twenty years twenty years, where is the guaranteed success? Okay, just because the Philadelphia seventies sixers did something in the NBA does not mean that is the course you follow. Do you think Bill Parcels, who jets fans talk about in great respect because they should, because he happens to be one of the greatest franchise builders and coaches in the

history of the National Football League. Do you think he would ever walk into a situation and say, you know what, there's some good guys coming out next year, let's see if we can lose some games. I just don't understand the mentality of that, the mentality inside a locker room. This guy was on the Bart Scott was one of the most passionate players I've ever been around. Do you think guys really worry about next year's draft? No, No,

it's just not part of the conversation. And oh, by the way, everybody wants to chart everything U c l A does everything, USC does everything in Oklahoma State does. You don't know, You don't know what these guys are. You have to let this playoff. And the Jets are improving their team right now. Look at some of these young players who are coming along and help leaning a way. This is very important. Right now. We're taking of calls

eight hundred nine one nine, three, seven seven six. Eric Allen at Bart Scott here at Vanderbilt's Sports in Spirits at the Windham Hamilton's Park. We're getting a little bit heated. I like that. I run Staten Islands. What's going, Hey, Eric bod how are you all right? All right? Worrying about the draft? That's a loser's mentality, you just use. You see what a car fall at the end of the season. You gotta go out and win games this year and developed the young players. And we're we're starting

to see it the last two weeks. And you know what, it's a funny thing. Um. The roster of a lot different um now than it was at the training camp. And the canton did a good job and in Ue, you know, Curly and Curse and and you're right part you know, listen, they know what they hapened Petty and Hackingburg, and they got to evaluate the rest of this team. And that's why I'm Accounts playing. And he's doing a

good job right now. And who's not to say that he won't get resigned if they do draft a quarterback next year. And you know, just getting to the game yesterday, listen, you know I've been around the Jets. I go back to nineteen sixty with the Jets. Okay, most of the teams they were folded. This is a young team. They stuck together. There was some adversity yesterday, they overcame it.

I mean that, you know, forget about you know, they got fortunate with the holding call with for a porn at at the end of game, but they still held them to a field goal. And more impressive was when they hadn't pinned back. They kept them to back. Maroon played it wrong and then and then they punted. They got to short field currently the penalty, and they kicked the field goal in the night and it's a win,

and you go going into the season. I had them at the end of Cleveland either two and three and three and two, and I'll be a static they go into Cleveland take care of business literally and two. Listen whatever the Patriots thought they are, but do you know the buzz around the city, it's gonna be the Jets wee into with the Patriots coming to town. I just hope it plays out this way. Hopefully we take care of business and get to win. Thanks for the call, um,

good points. Uh, we're taking your calls inside the Jets seven seven six. I just want to say this before we go to break. Mike mccagnet and his personnel staff and Todd Bowles and the coaching staff should get a tremendous amount of credit right now because Jermaine Curse, Jeremy Curly, Cony, Eally, David Bass, who is two sacks by the way now in Terrence Brooks. Those guys have just come on board over the last I don't know a couple five six

weeks or so, and they're making immediate impacts. That's good coaching, that's a good personnel department. We're gonna take a bunch of calls on the other side. We'll be right back here on Inside the Jets live from Vender Built Sports and Spirits inside the Wyndham Hamilton's Park Hotel. It's Inside the Jets brought to you by e Y Building a Better World, MNT Bank, the official community bank of your New York Jets, and by fan Duel. Have all the

fantasy that football has to offer. Be sports rich. Now, here's Eric Allen and Bart Scott. Eric Allen, part Scott back here Vanderbilts Sports and Spirits. I got some fantasy analysis for you right now. Analysis. Yeah, one carries against Jacksonville a hundred and sixty three yards Russian including a seventy five yards score and run. Eli McGuire rookie tank carry's ninety three yards in a sixty nine yard scoring run. Uh, this is an analysis. This is what I'll tell you

is brought to you by FanDuel. Have all the fantasy that football has to offer. How about the Jets run game? Yeah, man, they slept on him yesterday. Listen, I told you before the show, do another show, and we're speaking about you know, Matt Forte has been being out and I told him, listen, you you don't lose much when you put al Pol in there. Bal has live legs. To me, he's been one of the most consistent football players on this Jet team since he got here, you know, and I think

the game is starting to slow down for him. You know what, What really tells you all all you need to know about Bala Paal is on the lateral, his hustle all the way down the field. We just criticized Zeke Elliott for after a turnover now hustling down the field. Anything could have happened, he could have tripped, he could have called him, you know, but that shows you that he plays every play like it's his last. And he cares about his teammates. And I'll tell you what, Eli McGuire,

we talked about mccagnan before. How about finding this guy in the draft and listen, the most telling thing on his run is the fact that the dbs behind him couldn't catch up and he continued to separate. You know, you talk about a player that has patients to the whole, acceleration through the whole. He just he just took the patients out. He just put one ft in the in the ground guy vertical and took it to the house. Man, it was impressive. You're gonna like this and you gotta

help me with us. We had a few lass about it in the press box last night. I asked Eli McGuire, what's it like to get to the second level when you know you only have a guy to beat? He said, oh, you can cancel Christmas if we even he leaving. Yeah, and Eli McGuire taking it to the house. In all,

the Jets rushed for two hundred fifty six yards. Now, that's thirty two carries eight yards a pop. They ran it down Jacksonville's throat and you can you can say whatever you want to say about the Bala pokay, that's a freak you know type of play where somebody jumps over and they forget to tag him. But what about the thirty yard run? What about the choired run? You know, I think that the consistency and the commitment to the

run game. And you talk about you know they had colast count, you talk about this, you know, Jacksonville jagualls team that really embarrassed the Baltimore Ravens the week before, putting up forty four points. And you know, really really, you know, the team that just have to learn how to when you have somebody down to put him out. I would like to see them after the Cony Eely interception.

It's the little things, you know, punch it in and really discourage the Jacksonville Jaguar from really trying to win the game because it's seventeen ten there, you score, you're making a ten game, and and you put more preyer, you put more pressure on Blake Borders, and you know he'll throw you one at that point. You know, Like I said before, I told people before they're like, oh, well, Blake Waters playing well. I say, listen, man, that train

is never late. I've charted Blake Borders throughout his entire career, no player has turned the ball over in his own territory in the first half more than Blake Borders. So I knew if the Jets could just keep it close, be physical for and that's going to get his that you know, he's a he's a good young player. But if you continue to to to land those body blows that when it came late and it was in Blake Bortle's hands, that he would do what Blake Border always does,

and he didn't. He didn't disappoint Leonard four not four carries eighty six yards, Like I said, belal Paul one carries a hundred and sixty three yards and somebody ton carries ninety three yards. Let's keep on rolling on with the phones because I know last week you're a little you're a little sist of about it. It's Kevin Well. Why joined us and Kevin talk for a little bit. It was his it was his week, man, man, that dude talk man. I was like, I was waiting for

the Dave Chappelle wrap it up be sign. You know, I'm like, listen, man, I get paid to talk to bro. Listen. You know, I would love to hear from the fans. What their opinions are? Are they happy? Are they sad about the Jets being too and two right now? And you know, I think you know, they're a lot better than people anticipated, you know, is it? Are they? Are they? Are they happy? Are they sad? All right, Let's go

to L. Let's go to L and Westfields. Hey there, thanks for having me, Thanks for calling L. Alright, So I have to say I'm a very conflicted Jets fan right now, because um, you know you I'm I'm very pleased with what I see on the field because last year that seemed severely underachieved and this tier team clearly is coming together, playing with heart, hustle, and it's showing

and we're seeing results. But to say that there's a loser's mentality to wanting to have that good draft pick, I don't get it, because I have to say, I'm forty seven years old. My entire lifetime, I have not seen a Super Bowl play, a Super Bowl game played by the Jets. And you look and you say, well, what has differentiated some of those Jets team from those that did make it to the Super Bowl? And the one constant is quarterback play? Right, And so you need

a quarterback. You absolutely need a quarterback to be competitive in this league. And to say that I'm really happy that we went six and ten instead of four and twelve or seven and nine and missed the playoffs, that's not going to get it done, right. And so there's got to be a validity, and people have to understand that there is a validity from the fans point of view, especially the long suffering fans. Let's let's keep I had a couple of things to say too, but I'll let

you go first. Let let me tell you why you're wrong, Watson, Um Russell, Wilson. Right. So for every for every first round pick, early round pick you can name, I can name you somebody else that wasn't the first round pick that that that that you know played and performed at a high level. What what you do is when you set up a bad culture in your locker room. Also,

you need depth, right, You need depth that every position. Yes, the quarterback is very important, but you know you can win without a great quarterback, right, You don't have to have the best quarterback. What you need is a team that can come together. You need chemistry and that's built right now. The Jets have a very young football team.

But if you don't show that you're trending upward, how are you going to attrack some of these, you know, great free agents of all this cap money that you have, how are you going to attract them to come here? If they see that it's a loser mentality, They're not gonna come here and say, Okay, I'm gonna sit here with a young rookie quarterback and that's all they have.

And you know, I don't really think a lot about the rest of the people on the roster to come here, because in this league, you may only have three or four years, or you're asking a guy in his fourth year to come here. He may only have seven years of his career. He wants to win right now. So if you want to track free agents, you have to show that you're going in right direction. Why do you think nobody wants to come to play for the Knicks right because it wasn't that they didn't have good players,

that they didn't have cap space. People were turning that money down because it didn't seem like they had a clue or they cared about winning. Well, I I completely appreciate that. How about Drew Brees. How Aboutrew Brees second round draft pick? Yeah, look, and that's the Patriots. But Paper Brady was a late round pick. I'm just saying I have not seen a great quarterback on the Jets and and that is a big that's a big difference.

I do agree. I absolutely agree that the winning culture, the chemistry, the teamwork are things that will attract good players. I totally agree with that, and that is what I'm starting to see with this team here. But I also have to tell you I really wanted to show on Watson in the first round. I know that Jamal Adams is turning out to be an awesome safety. But you know what, time will tell, right, Time will tell how time time will tell. Yeah, you're you're right, And I

think I ain't Jamala Adams. I'm not putting this on him just because I'm saying that. I think Jamal Adams has star written all over him and he doesn't play quarterback. Yes, I know that. I think. I think Paula Milot was just important to the Pittsburgh Steellers championships. I think Andree was just important, uh to the Baltimore Ravens, you know success. I think Eric Berry. I think Earl Thomas is just

as important. Right, So if you have if you can identify a star player, you have to take a transcendent player. If you see one, you spot one in the draft right and all By the way, I don't know where people are conflicted, because okay, so you go to and fourteen and what if four or five players are stacked right together? Peyton Manny comes around maybe once in a lifetime or so. You know, all these guys that we're talking about, where in the society a sports society now

where we want to make these guarantees? Sam Donald's the next guy is gonna be the your greatest quarterback ever? Know? Might be Josh Rosen. Don't forget about Mason Rudolph oh Luke Falk look pretty good the other night. How about Lamar Jackson, tremendous athlete in his own right. We don't know yet. We don't know yet. And by the way, you can get good players, you have to draft. While we talk about at read before, what was that read?

Dra we gotta go to break. We're coming back on Inside the Jets Live from Vetter Built Sports and Spirits inside the Wyndham Hamilton's Park Hotel. It's inside the Jets, brought to you by e Y Building a Better World, m n T Bank, the official community bank of your New York Jets, and by fan Duel. Have all the fantasy that football has to offer. Be sports rich. Now here's Eric Allen and Bart Scott all right, not standing show so far tonight? Mark you are you? Are you calm?

I'm just excited. I'm passionate. I'm like the black pressure going up. Man, I'm not like the defense the third time. I'm ready to roll. I just don't understand that you're a competitor. You played out there on the field. I don't understand that mentality. I don't get it. But they don't get it from the players. And you know there has been examples of that. You know, teams seeming like they're not trying to win. But you know that doesn't

come from the players. The players want to win every game because at the end of the day, you can't put bad film out there because you won't get picked up if you're not on the team the next year. You know, so you have to go out there and always consistently, you know, represent yourself. What people don't understand is you never leave the game the way you came.

This game is going to take something from you. You might as well make sure that you enjoy it and get some get some ws because none of us walk out this game the same way. And oh, by the way, part mcagnet and company has set this up for the off season where they do have a lot of money, a lot of flexibility developing here. We got a lot of calls to get to. Uh, let's go to Joe, who's calling from Rockland County. What are you doing? I'm big, big fan of the show. I wanted to get your opinion.

You guys are old timers so to speak. You know football today ahead and football has to come from the National Football League. It's become the National Flag League. And somebody like me that enjoys the game, it's hard to watch the games now. And I went to the game yesterday. It's every player. You can hit the quarterback, you can't hit the receivers, you can hit anybody, and it's the game has become a Pro Bowl game. It's a it's

a glorified Pro Bowl. And you guys who are in the trenches, who know the game, well, I'd like to get your opinion, you know, on that, And I'm really worried about that because I'm losing interest in the game and I love football. In the cornerback, I was never like, what, well, I tell you what, you know, the aim it's changing, you know. We we all understand that we have to

make the game safer, you know. But you know, I was outraged about traveythan being suspended for two games, you know, and they put all the owners this and it's still a violent sport and at times things are gonna happen, But I don't think you should take a player off the field that doesn't have a history. If this was Vonta's Burgley, you would be like, Okay, well he doesn't

get it, we have to punish him. But to get Travethon for for hustling to the ball, and when I tell people, when you look at that play, understand that he's running probably about thirteen fourteen miles an hour. Um DeVante adams Is continued to try to move the pile and when when what we're taught is when the first one grabbed, make the tackle, the second one go for the football. And what I saw was trave Athan trying to dislodge the ball, trying to separate man from ball,

and at the same time Davonte Adams dropping. So you're asking somebody to run fourteen miles an hour fifteen miles and hour depend on how fast he is and hit a moving target that's dropping. As you get there. At some point you lose vision because you're looking for the ball, not so much the helmet or the head. And I thought that was an unfortunate situation, and I think, you know, I think we should have some more people on the council.

I think more former players that could kind of have some impact, you know, because it's hard to to really referee intent. But um, you know, players understand, you know that we all have to protect each other. But it's still a very violent sport. And sometimes I think they're trying to legislate the physicality out of the game because people want to see the game, they want to see points,

and you know, we've already made the offensive league. But I think the biggest detriment to the game is the college game, because it used to be where college was a reflection of the pro game. Now you see young quarterbacks come in offensive linemen have no idea how to to to to double team, how to base block. Everything is about running sideways and lottery and getting in the way. Already, you've been on hold for a while and you're in Brooklyn.

Thanks for calling them, buddy, I don't be Debbie Downer right here already. Hey, how's it going, guys? Right? So I listen, I'm happy. I love bowls is uh, you know, getting these guys to play and stuff like that. But I do have to nip pick a little bit, okay. And I guess it's because of it, like a defensive coach mentality and stuff that he's relying a lot on

his defense. But he's done a couple of things Balls three years as far as like punting the ball when when you're having like more than a ten point lead. And yesterday would bother me about the game is that the Jaguars had the ball on like the tenure online with with two minutes left, and Balls didn't use his two time outs. Just stinking listen, my defense is gonna stop him or we're going you know, we're either going over time or we're losing. Not thinking about getting the

ball back and trying to trying to do something. You can't be stuck with two time outs and watching your defense hold. I mean, it worked out, but he maybe he needs like a coach on assistant coach, because I know he's got a lot going on and he's thinking about his defensive plays and stuff. Maybe somebody that could keep note on that and and give them the heads up. The same thing happened with the Special that a big

special team splake. But yet I don't know. I guess they didn't know whether they were gonna go for it for you know, throw a pass or kick the field goal, and by that time they took a penalty. Thanks for the car already love that guy's passion. Listen, if I bind them mine, you do have to convert with points

there after the fake punt. But but already we don't We don't know if this was called from the sideline or it was just automatic, and he wasn't aware that it was going to happen, because you get certain looks when you have uncovered. You're taught to throw it, you know, and it may not have been the best idea to thought it worked out, but you know, sometimes those are automatic, so he may not been aware. Because nobody knows the coach, even the coach doesn't know, the special team coach doesn't

know you have automatically. I think it wasn't automatic because because because he had dropped off. It's fourth in one where most of the time you're probably not going forward fourth and even a fake exactly so, but you know, you can't tell players that they get that look they dreamed for, that look like, oh man, the look we finally got it. How often do you ever see somebody with an uncovered guy and they dare you to throw it and they pull the trigger and they they figured out.

And maybe that's where the confusion came. To answer the second question talking about you know, going you know, leaving with two with to to time outs? Why am I gonna call time out? If I'm a defensive coach or if I even if I'm a defense I don't want you to call time out because what happens. You allow them to regroup and come up with the best play. You allow them to change personnel groups as well, So now you're giving them a time out as well too.

So you're calling time out for yourself because you're trying to get the ball back. But you're you you want you want to use those timeouts when you have them. In third down or fourth down. You don't want to use those timeouts early because you may want them to, you don't. You don't take more than two minutes for some a team to go down ten seconds. Jets gonna make it three straight this week in Cleveland. I definitely think they make it three straight. I think they're gonna

guard against complacency. I think they're gonna go for us everybody
