Jets 360 Presents The EA Podcast: Episode 3 Featuring Bart Scott

remember subliminately. I remember being in college and like I would know songs that I know I never listened to, but it was always playing in the background. So when they would come on the radio, I would find that I knew the words. It's hard to come in and I have a like environment that's like exciting and so so the scenes sider today, Park explain for everybody at home. You walked through the hallways. You got your cool shirt on. First off, Brooklyn's own ironed Mike Tyson the Roots T shirt.

I love it. And Bart's looking all swall today because he just finished from the gym, but it came in and he didn't love the environment inside the building. On the business side, I was always known for setting the environment, for making sure everybody had fun. Every time you came to work as a as a jet and we came to that locker room, I had something going on, whether

it was the radio Awards with Braylon. He played his best song, I played my best song that he went and got a bigger speaker and I had to go get a bigger speaker. And it was just funny because, like you know, the players will come in and you know you're here for a long time, and all the

time it's not a fun time. You know, you're tired, you know you're beat up, you don't feel like practicing, you're sleepy, you know you're you're you know you're hurting, you know, But when you put some music on, you have some fun, you know what I mean, It makes you forget about all that. So you know, that's the same in office. So I came up here, I heard click, click, just a couple of keys strokes. Yeah, just said, you know, I could could you imagine how annoying that has to be.

You're trying to focus and concentrate, you can hear somebody next to you pushing keys. So I said, listen man, let's just get some move music, you know, so you know it was none around. I heard they don't have any speakers. I want to talk to Withy because he owns baby powder, he should be able to put a couple of speakers up in the silly to set the move because that's gonna give you high productivity, you know, so if you get if you got high productivity, then

you're going to get more accomplished. So what music when you're playing on your phone to that? Well, I didn't want to scare anybody, you know what I'm saying, so I kept it safe. I was looking for some Luther, but I didn't want to go to old school because a lot of these cats in here don't even know who Luther the van draws is, you know what I mean. So I hit him with a little music slash Mary j stay, you know what I mean, because everybody wants to be in love. But it got a good beat,

but it's mellow. So they don't have a lot of high pitchures and a lot of you know, high beat line or nothing like that, or deep beat. It just mellow. You know. It's like that white noise when they tell you that you're when you're studying. What did they tell you in college? Play Beethoven? Right, play Mozart? You know you'll remember for young children. Yeah, and you're retained. So I'm trying to help him reach out. I'm looking for another job. I looking for another job. You're helping him.

Retained with Mary J. Blige. Everybody loves Mary all right. So inside the locker room you brought up back in the day when you were here and Braylon outwards, the Jets receiver would have his music and you would have yours. What was Braylon playing? And then what when you come back with it was just it was just like the hottest whatever the hottage music at the time was. But every once in a while I would take him back old school, like I got five on him the lux Or.

I would hit him with some scar face because what happens is everybody's going to have that on the on the iPad. But I would go deep. I would go deep to like Cougi Rap your Nas, go to early pod Biggie, and then he would have to counter with an old school song. Now we're hitting with some EMC

Breed here. People don't realize that. Why would you play MC Breed in the future on your front or you know, people don't know that, but it was a subliminal disc to him because mc breed was from Michigan, where we're from. So that's so that's how you fight it out. Man. I almost like a breakdance battle, but we were just using our fingers instead of using our our moves. You know what, I liked what you did when the Jets

brought Braylon Edwards in here. Even before he stopped foot inside the locker room, you had boxing gloves hanging his locker. You remember that. But I'm just making fun man, because he had just got in the fight and pind the rosso. Part of the reason he was part of the Jets was because you know, first of all, you cannot go against King King James. You know, he went against King James. He got into an artercation. But one of his main you're really fun at him, that was the president. Listen,

nobody's off limits. Nothing's off limits in the locker room. And what happens is if you have fun with it, then it doesn't have to be an elephant in the room. So of course it's like one of those things somebody fall and do something stupid to get blowed up. First thing you're gonna do, you're gonna check are you okay? Man? That was funny as hell. And then you gotta tease them about it. You know what I mean, you had

a wax suit. If you had a wax suit, you know, James handy Bow was a repeat offender, we would hang your suit from the selling. You know, that's just how it is. Listen, you gotta have thick skin in the locker room. But what happens is when you're joking on each other brings a bond and creates a bond because now you're having fun none football while you're not talking about the X and os. The funnest what people miss is not the gangs. I don't remember a lot of games,

you know. I don't remember a lot of wins. I remember some losses. I remember the funny stuff that happens in the locker room before the game. I remember I remember Anthony right when I was remember of the Ravens and we're playing the Stillers, and it was like when his first time is playing and Anthony is our backup quarterback. So he's playing, he's getting start and he's like he's free ain't gonna letting no man come in my kitchen trick on my kool aid. We're like, what the hell

is he? He was like, oh man, this dude scared as him. Man. We defense were on our own the day, baby, because this dude is scared. Exactly when you're scared, you start saying crazy stuff to hip yourself up. So as a defense, we looked at each other men, sons, like we by ourselves today. Defense. We that and every once every once in a while we would have that connection here. Every once in a while, me and Calvin will look up. We punted the ball like twenty times in a row.

We look at each other. Defense, We by ourselves today. Boys, we're gonna have to pull something up magically. We're gonna have to get a score ourselves, you know. And that's just something that the defense we took, you know, because sometimes you know, the teams I played on a lot of times here and a lot of times with the Ravens, they were defensive, you know, defensive teams. You know, we won games on defense. The majority of the salary cabin

spent on defense. So at something, at some point we would say, listen, we understand who we are defense is on us. Why do you think when we were with the Ravens, we created the old picture. You always saw it with the Ravens. You always saw us pitching the ball, like we get an interception, We pitched the ball because I can remember getting interceptions, fumbles, kick off returns, get them on a six yard line, the ten yard line and we lose twenty yards and kick field goals or

you know, lose the ball back. So we let listen. It's no guarantee, no guarantee that we get a turn it over and put him in a great position that they're going to score. So we started, You said, you know what, We're gonna put it in ourselves. So we start pitching the ball all the time. And you can always see ever reading pitch position or you always we

created like a wall in a set up return. Whenever anybody had an interception, we had a design return and we always had guys and we you will see multiple pitches. Deon Sanders, by far, it's the greatest teammate I've ever had. Everybody knows Neon Dion, everybody knows Prime. We know Deon Sanders. Dion Sanders, the teammate will do anything not for like the people at the top of the roster, but for anybody in the bottom of the roster. Man like he

didn't hide from people. He wouldn't trying an autograph, but he'll take a picture with anybody. So the difference between Ray and Dion is Ray, I don't know. Because of the Atlanta situation, he was always insulated. You would you could never see Ray at the mall. You will never see Ray out at something that was like, you know, just chill. You would either to see Read at his restaurant or you see Read at the event. You will see Dion at the local barbershop, like with his with

his van. He had his conversion veil with the tins on him. You see them anywhere. You see him walking in his flip flops in the regular mall. I will say that's the first time I ever my Deon I think was two thousand one, was my first year here with the Jets, and he came in and he saw Todd Husack, who was a backup quarterback at the time.

And I don't even know how many years you Sack was in the NFL, but immediately Dion seek him out because I think they played together late in his career too, and they started hitting it off back and forth, but everybody seated Provado and all you know, the air Dion was who he sold to America. That's how he made his money, Dion with the teammate. So I can remember we had this this guy had to be like the

fiftieth man on the roster. And you know, he was liked, I'm gonna becoming the Dallas and this this is in the office and day I was like, man, hit me up, you know whatever. You know, you can come through, you can stay at the at the compound, because you know he had at that time. I know he moved, but he had like a house in Dallas on a Hunter acres, had his own pond whatever. So so the guy called Den like, prim I'm looking for your spot, man, I

can't find it. Like where is it? He was like, he was like, he was like all I see is this hotel and I don't see a house. He's like, man, that's my house. Man, come on there, you know what I mean? And that was Dion. Did you learn that from him or is that all part of your deal to begin with because you took a different path to Dion. Because shoot, when I was growing up high school days. Dion's on that cover. It's that that famous cover of

Sports illustrated the Dehon with the chains. Yeah, but you know what, you know this this is this was guys who understand Dion and Ray Lewis was probably the most frequently teased players in the locker room. You wouldn't think that, but they had too much material. So Ray had did this this shoot. Uh maybe he was dating um Lisa

Ray or something like that. He at some point he was dating her Um and he did the shoot with her where he was on the pack of cards and every shoot like he was a pharaoh and she was like some Egyptian stuff. Every card was that. So we found out that they existed and it had happened a long time ago. But Rex had this thing. We all had this thing because Rex wasn't the head coaches this time. But if you did something, we would find it. We

would exploit it. Whether it's a stupid commercially didn't off season for like some trump change or whatever. We would find it. And so we bought like thirty packs of the cards and we put them out. We would just be throwing them everywhere and Ray would get mad he try and get to collect them all and throw them all the way. But we teased him all the time. So you talk about that famous uh Dean Sanders picture when he had to change on but he had a leather jacket on, because I get I know what you're

talking about. It was a black leather jacket and had upside donald triangle and had primed within it, and he had leather pants, he had a Jerry curl, and he had sunglasses. But he also had on white snakeskin loafers. So of course we found that picture. Guess what we did with it and you put it all over the locker room. Nope, we went and had T shirts made. Every player in the locker room had a Prime Time T shirt and we would go out to practice with him and we were wearing in warm ups just to

make fun of him, you know what I mean. So it's like, but he probably loved it. Like you said, he's such a great team. Man. Why did anybody do to you in your career that you can repeat on

the podcast anyway that you really got a kick out of. Well, no, it was funny, man Like early in my career, man like they should tease me, especially because I was trying to get laser hair removal right like two thousand and three, right where you're really yeah, because you know early on, you know, even now, I'm still like ingrons was always tough for me, right, So I'm gonna get laser hair removed.

But the technology he wasn't was new. So what happens is when you get laser hair remobile, like because the problem with black people was, uh, it would confuse the pigmentation and the skin with the hair folicle. So sometimes the lasers would miss and shoot your skin. Right, So what happened was one time, one time I got it done and it missed my skin and I got burned. So what happens when you get burnt? Like, you can't tell for a while, but then your skin starts pilling off.

So I had like pink spots all on it. So when I of course, when I put my chin strap on, it was rubbing it all. Then I tease me like, man, what the hell like Freddy Cooger, man, don't every day and practice and to a hill. They took a while for the color to come back on my face, and the Anthony Metro used to call me necessary crunch, you know, what I'm saying, which was funny, you know what I mean, because we we tease him. Everybody has something to tease about.

You know. We always made fun of Terrell. We made fun of everybody man, and we got here. We have fun as well in this locker room. One of the people don't know about David Harris because a lot of guys who are teammates with Dave will say, you guys don't see Dave because of course he doesn't want to spotlight. He's not much. He's a friendly gentleman. He's a guy. He treats the media with respect. He just doesn't like the eye couple right here, right. He's gonna get you

exactly the answer you asked for. It's not gonna be any color to it. And he's not gonna paint a picture. It's just gonna be yes, no, gonna be straight to the point. But inside that meeting room, the guys said Dave. David is a sarcastic a whole you know, That's what people don't realize. Like he shoots, he's real subtle with it. He'll say something that's a joke, or he'll say something under his breath. I remember him and bet they will

always say something. They'll look at each other, you know what I mean, and then it would take me a while to realize that he was he was trying. He was shooting. You're shooting day, you know. But you know,

me and Dave was like the eye couple. You know, I'm all over the place, I'm loud, you know, I'm equacious all that stuff, and Dave just like chill, so like I would be talking and you know, but I can get it of them, you know, I mean, we we we had a lot of you know, fun moments, you know, watching you know, because we had Monday Night at Barts of course, so guys will always come over every Monday watch Monday Night football and then we'll go

out to the club. Now, sometimes they would go out, sometimes he wouldn't, But you know, I did that to create an environment so that, you know, because in the locker room you have people have different parts of their life, you know, different belief systems, and so you may have guys that may not go out, or you may have guys that want to go out but they have no excuse to get out for their wives, or you may have guys that that go out all the time, So

how you blend the the married guy or the spiritual guy or the religious guy with the wild guy that just wild, not enjoying being young and enrich and and and parted. Well, you bring them together on Monday night watch the ball in your place. Speaking of the compounds, we've heard you got a pretty nice place yourself. Come on now, I'm I'm bawling on the budget man. That's why I got That's why I got thirty nights at Barts. Always wanted to go over Monday night at part So

we talked about that in the past. How many guys would you have over that? It all depends sometimes to be thirty, sometimes to be you know. And it was a good thing because you know, you had you had young players, old players, You had guys that make a lot of money, guys that are making a minimum. You had white players, black players, tongue in simoons, and you had everybody there. And what happens is the closer you can come together as a team, the better you're going

to be on the football field. And so folks at home, they might not realize this right now, is that for you guys, Tuesday's players day off and not so you were very active in the community. We still are and some players, you know, take part in that philanthropy as well. Some guys come in early on a Tuesday, get their ice paths, maybe work out or whatever. But that's kind

of when you can dictate your schedule. So Monday night for the young dudes, that might be the time where you can actually go because you can't go out on Tuesdays, even though if you're off day Wednesday, you have to go to work, So Monday is to day that you go out. So Tuesday you can come get your workout in, but if you're tired, you did it too big, you can go to sleep at the Words, or you can do whatever you have to do because it's not a

heavy day, you know. But if you go out Tuesday, then now you're coming into practice and you're dehydrated, or you're tired, or you can't focus. You need to be sharp for for Wednesday. So I made sure that was on Monday because you're coming Monday. Monday is a lift day, and Monday it is like a day we just review the film and you're out of here. At two guys come together, then guys can go out so we can have fun. So I gave him an option. So I always and I always pay for everything. I always had

um two party bands. So for the guys who want to go to the city at the words, you can say, you know, you can tell your wife, hey, I'm going off the fellas this team building, So now you you know you have an excuse to go out, because sometimes it's hard for some guys. You know, the women run the household in a lot of these players lives and you're just saying, hey, I'm going out holding you're married, what you're going out with? You can just say, I'm

team building. What do you guys have to do as first when you want out as a group, because I'm sure you can go out even though you're a big guy and you're on CBS. I'm sure sometimes in the city because a city so big, there's so many personalities that maybe we're walking by and people don't recognize you. But if it's in the city two fifty pounds, three hundred pounds, people know that's so. So how do you

gotta watch yourself? As far as we understood that if we're gonna do this, we have to be responsible, we have to be professional. We're gonna go out here and have fun. But we're not gonna put ourselves and make ourselves vulnerable. We're not gonna get in trouble. You never heard about anybody that went out with me on one of those days for the four years I was here, they got in trouble. We always took player protect We always had all duty police officers with us, so if

anything happened, they can diffuse the situation. And that's the responsibility. If we're gonna go out, we're gonna have fun, and we're gonna continue this, then we have to make sure they're responsible. We're doing a responsible way because at the end of the day, we're professional, we're men, so we should be able to go out. I don't care for the thousand of us, and we should be able to act accordingly and represent ourselves and represent our organization in

a positive light. No matter what we're doing, no matter we're at a party, no matter if we're bowling, no matter what we're doing, we can do it the right way. We talked about boxing. Last week, Kelbrook got in the ring with Triple G. He looked very well. He looked very good. I thought they both looked good. Here's my look at I should take a photo of you right now because you're looking all swallow. I don't know how

much you weigh. Like I said, it's temporary. If you're gonna take a you better take You just got out of the gym yourself. But here's the thing, and you know this about boxers is Brooke did look great, but he was muscled up. Wownd he walks in there and he's not He's not the bigger man. He he didn't look as in shape as I'm used to saying him, just because Brook looks so he looked like a body. Yeah, but but Brooke is kind of built like that. He's a muscular guy, you know what I mean. But Triple

G can say whatever he wants. Triple Gre was hurt a couple of times. I know, so the way Triple G backed up a couple of body shots. So I had I had Brooke winning two rounds. I don't win in two And I knew because he kept rubbing his eye, I knew something. I thought he took a thumb to the eye. And because it's not like he was taking a beat and he was countering, you know, Triple G beautifully.

I've never seen Triple G get hit with that, and I thought Triple g went in there like he's a naturally smaller man, he can't hurt me, and he didn't respected and you always get hurt by the punches that you don't see. I would love to see a rematch. I became a Brooke fan because he called Triple G out a person that people are afraid of, and he moved two weight classes up to do it, and he looked dynamic to me, So I Brook, I think he's as Walter Wade out there now. Yeah, I didn't realize

that Terence Crawford is a beast too, Terence Crawford. I love Crowford too. Yeah, Man, you saw Porter and third and in person. We were supposed to go to that fight together, but you took your daughter, so, uh, you can't get bad at the baby. So but I'm still upset I didn't get a chance to see that because Porter and Thurman they put on the show. They put out a show. What do you think about those two and how they would potentially match up with Brooke at welterweight? Well,

I like I like Thurman versus Brooke. I think Porter don't don't don't have the skills to boxing. I Q he's more of a like. He's more of a yeah yeah, he's like a can I buntrick under Riche like he just comes in, he hits you with elbows, he pushed you back. He's like a football player boxing, not with natural punchy power. He's not right right, He's a he's a musk, he's musclar guy. He looks great, but you look at Thurman. He doesn't have any muscles, and that's

what you want, you know. I always think about Kelly Pablick and how he had that whip because he was so skinny, no musclar, and he catched on end. It was like being at the end of the wi you know what I mean. You think about even though you know the hit man was uper you ripped, he will still have that long lane muscle, you know what I mean. He just couldn't take a punch when he was in trouble. You know. You know when he smiled, you knew it was in trouble. You know he's ready to get knocked out.

But I think Thurman with fair better. I would love to listen. People don't realize people are saying, oh ufc ufc boxing in the next five years, it's gonna explode. It's gonna come back because you have so many great fighters in their prime, in their own a collision course to fight each other. We'll get well, we'll we'll get November nineteenth, we'll get cold off, and we'll get war. That's great. But other than than those two in that division, I don't see anybody else. Pascal's kind of like a

level below them. But Crawford Thurman, you know, even um My God, that just went to jail for beating somebody up at craps. He thinks he's madeweather billions. Oh the problem? Yeah, he Anthony Yea. So he got Broner once he comes back from his courts. Brently so a good fighter. He doesn't have knockout poser. What do you think? Yeah, so he can get an upset maybe against one of those guys.

You got Porter, you got Thurman. Um, who's the guy that just beat Um the guy from California, from from Sweden. He just beat the guy from California. Throws like a thousand punches around. That was a great fight too. I don't know, but I like the welter weight division. I always have heavy weights is coming back to I think bro can beat anybody though at his weight he could,

but as well, Thurman has knockout power. Now. I know he didn't show it because he was slugger, but when he's been going up in class, don't you think that you haven't seen a knockout power? Now? Well, you know, he heard his shoulder and he heard us, he heard his he heard his hand. You know, he had surgery and then he got an accident, you know, and that's what postponed the original fight. But I would love to see Browner against a gift uh Brooke Broner. He's just

a guy that lacks focus for long duration. But when he knows, I know he would think, Okay, I gotta fight this guy. Gotta be at my best. He's a great counterpart. He's a great fighter. He's just too arrogant and he thought he was Floyd Mayweather too early, you know. But you know we got some great fight because Triple G Alvarez at once six, he's gonna special. It seems like Alvarez doesn't want that fight. He's gonna have to take it. That's the mad backer. Bert Scott, Are we

done no about to say? Because you're just getting under why we gotta talk some Jets football at some point here. Okay, that is true. Jets fans, you played here, you know, the initial reactions Sunday afternoon at four thirty after that ball, we're probably here with the same old that that old, the same old, the missed opportunities, and even it's just

one game, a lot of people really upset. What did you take out of the first game, because you know me working here, you're coming in here for the analysis. But honestly, I looked at the Jets and said they stood up to a good team. No moral victories, but there is a lot of good to happen, and you just mentioned Monday's. As a player, you come in and correct the mistakes. The Jets made plenty of mistakes too, but there are talented football. Yeah, of course, play of mistakes.

With the issue is there's plenty of talent team. Did you did you get an opportunity to look at the Pittsburgh stillers? You know, and you can't fall behind because New England went on and gotta win that they that we all had slayed it as a law. You know, Miami defense looked great, you know, to be able to slow down, you know, you know Seattle and the twelfth Man. So you know, I think before the season, we all kind of thought, you know, Miami here, that's two wins.

Can't take anything for granted. A lot of talented football teams, um in this division. There's a lot of talent football teams in the a f c. Um. I thought it was some missopportunities. Watching the game in the studio, I thought the Jets should have been up, should have had like twenty four points in the first half, you know, just miss opportunities. Nick Folks, you know, for whatever reason,

just wasn't on point. Um. I think Fitzpatrick, you know, coming in, he really wasn't as accurate as he would like to be. Some throws he would like to have back.

And then the miscommunication on revers Um. I saw that call and and that had nothing to do with revers On the long pass to a j Green, what we call that plays a speedo, And what happens is you have to communicate that play post play and it's hard to recognize, but the speedos, when you have two receivers in the cut split, it's an indication that they're going to cross, that they're both going across the field. But how the Bengals disguised it is they had a guy

to come in and do the fake reverse. See but if you take that guy out the way, you have cut split. Your automatically knows the speedo, but it has to be communicated between corner to safety. The corner Gilchrist grabs it from the front side because one of the overalls is coming to him once your man disappears, because you essentially have three on two. Once youure man disappears underneath, the backside corner is supposed to climb hire and replace the safety in the post. So what happens is ReBs

just keeps maintains outside leverage. So what happens is you sandwiched the receiver. That's why ReBs was outside. But once he realized that nobody was there, he tried to late coming, cut in front and hit because the revers was supposed to play for the post corner because he knows what he did and he was in good position. Correct, But that's what nobody at home and everybody's like, oh, Reevers

got burned by a j Green. Where you're explaining this, the backside corner is supposed to what we call it a shove and once the overall happens. So that's basically like once my man disappears underneath, he's going to somebody else because we're doing three on three on two, so you have to recognize it immediately. Soon as your guy go away, you climb high. And you know, I think Williams missed the opportunity to have an easy interception. But you know what happens as the fan um sees the

person closest to the person. You're right, what does the action in the backfield like you just mentioned, what did it do? It made well, it made no no, it disguised. It disguised, and it disguised the formation. So if they would just lined up like that, they were communicated easy. But it's all about tricking your eyes. So they tricked their eyes and that's what the fingals are known for. I talked to guys going back, going back from you. They're never going to show up and show you, hey,

this is what we're doing. Because you're playing, you understand what's coming. And I think you know, Williams is relatively a young guy, the third year, so so that's one of those things that I don't respect him to ever get beat on again because I'm sure he got chewed out and I'm sure that he felt bad that he left his partner vulnerable. And now Revis has an answer questions that he shouldn't have to answer, right, And that's

the tough part of the business. Yeah, and you know, that's that's what Monday was about because I'm you know, Tuesday, I'm sure because a short week, you know, that's what we're talking about. And what happens, this is a copycat league. Now they're going to get that round until they get it figured out. So maybe this year, this week it's Revis that has a climb high, you know, So they're gonna try and do it. They're gonna try and duplicate it, but they're not going to give you the same exact

rout because teams assumed that you corrected that. Everybody was very professional about that, and I remember you used to do that yourself. Is that you know, the guy said miscommunication and they're not going to point the fingers and and that's what you expect from guys like Revis, kill Chris and even markets for a young guy. Uh well, well, of course he's not a point because he had a point that nobody. He's a tremendous kid. Yeah, but that's

how you know you have a tight locker room. But I remember that Atlanta game where you guys played a phenomenal defense way back in the day press out number two and we talked about it before the snap, and we told the corner that was coming. Who else do you think they're going through the Hall of Famer on the press? That's all he runs. And me and Tony talked about that all the time on the set, and you and they came to you and you guys were

not gonna discuss. That's family business, family business. And I thought that Jets handles themselves while and I still think they have a very talented secondary. Bottom line, Uh, why receiver screens? How do you counter that? Because a lot of fans have been asking me that on Twitter. They Yeah, there's this overreaction part and I can't stand it. And you're laughing because you lived it because you've been asked about it so many times throughout your career. Anytime goes wrong,

you know, well, why receiver screens? What's the counter there? And obviously we'll all screens. The person who can disrupt the screen fastest, the D line because you know, once you recognize it, your guy leaves to go block. You know, you you can't continue to pass rush and you're not really accounted for, so the lineman to take you right to it. So you see a lot of times the outside linebackers, you know, are the guys that make the tackles on the screen because the guys there they have

a blocker for everybody. You know, they have a guy for everybody. So it's it's important that the widest guy, usually the corner, sets the edge to make the receiver have to take the ball inside. You can't get him outside because you cut your defense off because now everybody's so Now you've got eleven guys you know, to the left or to the right of the receiver, and he can get the sideline. You can't let him get the sidelight. You make him have to come in. That's when you

get the earhole shots from the d lineman. But everybody has to do their responsibility to stand up and not give him outside, you know, release he has to come inside if he's gonna catch that screen. You do you think this has the makings of a very good defense. So did you see what they did? I mean, and he dont I'm sure that any Don is icing, you know, I'm sure Andy Dalton is is icing down today, like seven sacks. Come on, man, He's never been sacked that much,

you know. And you knew that they came in saying, hey, we gotta get rid of the ball fast, and they and they tried, you know, but they were just I mean, it was awesome. And you get showing the Richards and back this week, which is just going to add to to the chaos at the front line. And right now the Buffalo Bills are beat up offensively, Glens injured, you know, Sammy Watkins is hurt. You know. Now, now you gotta

go up there. You gotta be piste off one. You should be piste off from last year because they stopped you from getting to where you wanted to go. Also, because this is a divisional game early on, and if you win this one, you get a long rest to recover. So this is like having a mini by early in the season. So it allows you to have a strong first half because the knicks and the plays aren't building up.

If you can survive, the winner of this game is setting themselves up to have a mini by to be able to self scout the next opponent landscape is totally different. You're right, Okay, so you just muntioned. So we're gonna ask you to putting your analysts head on as you look at this game, because you know Rex's defense better than anybody. But I'm gonna start not that defense, okay, but I'm gonna I'm gonna ask you this. The first thing,

as you mentioned the Bills, they're banged up upfront. Cordy Gline. We don't know if he's gonna play. He's their left tackle, Sammy Watkins. Whether he's playing or not, let's let's talk about off the field issues. That's that's that's what's hurting in more than anything. It seems to be bothering with the Mary uh Darius loved to puff and the magic Dragon.

So he's gone for four weeks. You know, they lost Reggie Raglan, who I think Rex was trying to grow him to be David kind of be the field general to get everybody lined up, and then you know Shack Lawson isn't isn't available. That's a huge hit. So so offensively though, Greg Roman, how is he going to attack this Jets defense? Because you know, in the past, the Bills, we try it out physically, they were the number one team and then I following terms of rushing, Shady McCoy

is a great running back. Well, William Williams was there hammer and once again off the field issues. He's no longer with the team, so they don't have that ability. Reggie Bushes Reggie Bush, he's more of a finess runner and he's a guy that you're gonna try and exploit in matchups. And you know, much like um Um chan use Forte, they're going to try and use him to

match up against these these running backs. The person that the Jets are going to have to neutralize and the person that's a problem is what all teams trying to attack. Um the Jets and that's what the safety. They're gonna try and attack the safeties. And Charles Klay is one of the best um utility tight ends in the game. You know, it's only maybe a couple of other guys that's like him. And he's like a younger version of Delaney Walker. People remember all the things that Delaney Walker

did when he was with San Francisco. If you watch with Delaney Walker does with the Titans. He's a matchup nightmare because he's not just like Gronk. He's also he's more like Hernandez where he's able to motion. He can go in the backfield. He can be a fullback, you know, because he's not six six, so he can be a fullback, or he can go out and he can be a receiver. And if you match up with a safety, they can run the ball. If you match up with a linebacker,

they're gonna leave him in space. So now that's the person that you have to try and take away because he works in controls the middle of the field, and they didn't really get him the ball they had. He had one big play that was on a breakdown exactly. So what happens is you have to make sure that you treat Tyrod like Michael Vick, meaning that you don't rush past his depth. You keep them bottled up, and you don't allow him to buy that time because when

he buys time, that's when it becomes playground ball. So you keep them you you you you confuse him and color his eyes, meaning that you run stunts in between because he's not tall, so if you run a stunts between, he has to move to see see if you just rush up the field, you're gonna give him a thorn lane. So the same lanes that he looks to the throw too,

he looks through to run through. So if you confuse the line and cross the linebackers stunts an inside, then he has to step out, and if he steps side, he should step out right to your outside pass rush. A lot of people say he doesn't throw over the middle of the field. A lot that a lot of the third pass patterns that he's wrong. He's looking to throw outside the numbers. What is that up? More of a white thing? What's the deal there? Well, I think

it's just more more of their philosophy. And Charles Clay has a lot of times drawing so much you know, uh coverage that they throw, they try and throw over the top. You know they they're going for big plays. You know he's capable of making all the throws. I think when it's all of said and done in the next by next year, I think will consider Tyrod Teller

top ten quarterbacks. Yeah, he can play some ball. Now you have to worry about him being healthy, but he can play some Ball's interesting some Rex trying to trade for him here because Ray Lewis and all those guys were telling Rex how dynamic he was team quarterback, right. The problem was he was behind Joe Flacco who had had tremendous success. But he's make no bones about it, He's the real deal. Huh. Other side of the ball, you said, this isn't Rex defense that he played here

because obviously a different personnel. But how is telling me about the matchup between him and Jen Gaily Ryan Fitzpatrick. Well, Rex is gonna try and jump things because he doesn't believe that Fitzpatrick has a big arm. So he's gonna make Fitzpatrick has to throw to the field. He's gonna pack the boundary and make sure all his throws that are available are to the white side of the field. So if you're throwing to the wide side of the field, a five yard route or a ten yard route becomes

twenty because you're throwing across the field. You know, much like you know Rex us when we're in Baltimore, That's what we did against Chad Pennington. We just say throws a big ball. So I mean he doesn't have elite arm strength. So what happens is you make him throw past his that he has to put more mustard on it. And to do that, when you don't have a big arm, you have to load up to throw it. So when you load up, the thority gives defensive back to the

opportunity to jump things. So it's gonna be important for Fitzpatrick to try and hit something deep early to earn the respect because they're gonna sit on all his routes. They play you expect man press with Gilmore, They'll play they they'll play around, they'll play around, they'll they'll come up and dial, but at the end of the day,

they're sticking. They're sitting on those sticks. They're waiting to jump. So, see you, you should be coming with a double move early, trying to get your one of if you see uh, if you see cover one, hit him with a double move. Plays to be made down the field. And because they're not gonna respect his arm, they're gonna sit on all the routes. You know, I've been in those meetings. I know how he sees Fitzpatrick, and I know how he plays Fitzpatrick. He's gonna sit on the rocks and make

him beat him. He's gonna make him prove that he can complete fifteen yards out to the white side of the field, which becomes you know, that's something that you know Brady throws, that's something that Flacco throws. That's something that you know guys were big arms throw, not not a lot of guys, you know, throw those passes. What do you think about fourteen anything surprised you because even see he's he's who he is. That the kids can the old man keep it up, you know what I mean.

So I think you're you're gonna have to um, you know, get Balah poling some of those situations where you know those roles Balah can do some of those same um passes, those screens, those out routes, you know, matched up, you know, but you gotta, you gotta. You know, he was a workhorse the first game. You know, he may be able to be a workhorse this game. But sometimes you gotta

protect great players from itself. So you know, I would like to see him maybe five less plays, you know what I mean, That way you stay fresh, you know, I mean, because you need him for the long haul, you know what I mean, because he was very explosive. That Bala has improved more than any player I believe in NFL. His jump from last from his jump from Rex's last year too. I think Chan didn't understand really what he had because Bala Pa had. You know, he

we always knew he was a tremendous pass protector. But now we're starting to see he's starting to figure out. I'm starting to see the running back that I saw in his highlight tape and louis right. See, but early in his career he wasn't he was five yards, he was four yards. Now he's right exactly because now he believes in the game has slowed down for him. What

about a noon one. You're excited about him seven receptions last game, and his emergence can help I think brand And so so this is how Rex is going to see a noon one. Rex is going to see a noon wha the same way that chance you should use Nelson because that's basically who he is. He's Nelson in this offense. So he's gonna have the same game plan against Nelson. And that is do you want me to give see I'm conflicted what I'm saying because because we

just wanted side of the room. I'm conflicted, man, So like I didn't know you just got off the phone with Rex. I mean, I mean, how do you think it's gonna play Okay, I mean I don't know, because I know, I know, I know the philosophy, but he has different personnel on that side of how do you think this is gonna play out? Is this this is gonna be this is gonna be emotional game? Because if this did listen, these two teams or Rex would play

this game for free. He would play this game if you guys ever scrimmaged each other, and he would play this like it was a super Bowl. So you have to you have to guard against that. Both teams are going to have to keep their emotions and check they're gonna keep their emotions and checking the team that plays a clean game Rex. Teams that have been known for self destructing with penalties, you know, holding calls. You know, I guess penalties and holding calls are the same thing.

So you have to make sure it's a jet that you just don't beat yourself, make them beat themselves, make them lose. It is there initial searche from playing at home and that place. Of course, you know home is worth three points. You believe that absolutely are It's worth three points. You know, sometimes even if those first drives, it's so script. There's so much emotion that running backs running through. He's fallen forward a couple of times, you

know what I mean. It's like their own script, you know. So it's gonna be you know, it's gonna be emotional. But the game was settled down by the second what's gonna happen by the fourth quarter? I don't even want a prediction, but do you see this game being tighten the fourth? Absolutely? Yeah? You know what happens is I don't you know, Rex, When you look at the Bills, I think they're more injured and less healthy than the Jets. So the Jets should have the advantage because they're the fresher,

more healthier team. They're the deeper team. Although, uh, the offense of the Bills is talented on paper, they don't have a lot of depth. You got, they don't have a noon while they don't have one of those your unsung hero type of guys that can give you a spark, you know right when you just see it as the four players you're high on ty Rode obviously, Yeah, yeah, Like the Bush hasn't given them that production. He hasn't so so advantage Jets because of Noon Wir and BAP.

So that's two guys that that's gonna contribute a lot. They gotta put all the burton on four guys. And that's why you gotta play clean. Yeah, let him beat themselves, let himself destruct. You gotta play clean because both teams got to make sure that they don't press like this is a pivotal game. Nobody, like the statistics say go on too. You know, you're you know, and we all know what to just have ahead of them even after

these games. You know, some likes you make the playoffs, you go on to and then if you're one on and like you mentioned, it's like around. But like you mentioned, you win this game, you're fine. Yeah, you have to have the league. Half the league lost last week, so I have the league. That's the mad Backer. It was gonna be back here on Friday because we're gonna break down the Jets and the Buffalo Bills and hopefully the Green and White are one and one. And um, I'm

gonna be working on about four hours sleep. Brother, you might have to carry me, can you do that? I know you're doing a bunch of chinnops. No footprints footprints. Yeah, you don't know footprints. No, do you want to explain foot prints? I'm the time we got We got about thirty seconds. Let's go. So footprints. So man was walking into Sandy. Of course, Frint being that guy, carried you. I'm going to carry you. It's gonna be one set of footprints. Was gonna because I'm gonna put you on

my back. That's it. Friday
