Speaker 1 (00:00):
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us here
at One Jets Drive. Thanks for tuning in and listening
throughout the twenty twenty five season. The Jets have their
final home game coming up Sunday at Medlefe Stadium against
the AFC East leading Patriots.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
They'll have a say.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
As far as who wins the division title this year
because not only the Jets finished with the Patriots at home,
but the following week they will be in Western New
York to face the Buffalo Bills. We're gonna be talking
about what's happening in the league and also a big
picture look at the Green and White coming up with
Bart Scott and Brian Baldinger.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
You meet anybody in the world, and I think we're
gonna win next Sunday.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
This gets wonder LA. Can't wait.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
Put your seat belts on and getting ready for the ride.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to every one who's been
joining the podcast throughout the year, and to you two,
of course, Brian Baldinger and Bart Scott Baldy. You got
the T shirt on today while a colored shirt, I
should say, short sleep.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Where are you at?
Speaker 6 (01:14):
I met my house in Fort Lauderdale right now.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Oh man, go Johnson got out of got out of
Motown yesterday after that Steeler game. Uh, got back here
about three in the morning, woke up in a couple hours,
watched watch the Jets and Saints.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
So I'm ready to roll here, just like Bart, you
ready to roll.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I'll tell you what you never.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
I never would have anticipated the season would have materialized
the way it has. No Baltimore Ravens, No, no Kansas
City Chiefs. You got the new powerhouse Jacksonville Jaguars, who
now maybe potentially looks like, hey, they got a quarterback
playing hot, and they have a they have a defense,
and both Nicks that finally got exposed a little bit.
(01:57):
I can't call it, Baldy. I don't know who's good
who's not good? Is a week the week type of thing.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
It's week to week, Bart, it always is. We might
not have the Detroit Lions, they won fifteen games last year. Bart,
we might not have the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
In the postseason.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I mean, but you know these games, like some of
these games are coming down to a play, they're coming
down to a call, They're coming like you know, you
can look at that game in Pittsburgh yesterday and go,
I don't know if a Monra Brown Saint Brown doesn't,
you know, it doesn't interfere there, Like, who knows, maybe
maybe the Lions win and the Steelers are looking outside
(02:34):
in I mean one play here there.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
We saw what happened with Seattle and the.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Rams on Thursday night at Chicago and green Bay, Like
it's crazy. Some of these games are just improbable. That's
why you can't call because it's week to week like that.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
What did you guys think about the endings to that
Seattle Rams game? Seattle's down thirty to fourteen on fourth quarter,
the controversial two point play they win in overtime. And
then the green Bay Chicago game. I thought Malik Willis
was playing awfully well for the Packers, coming on in
relief of Jordan Love. Of course, they had a ten
(03:09):
point leave with four minutes left in the fourth quarter,
unable to get that on side kick, and then Caleb
Williams throw a diamond overtime.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
I mean, all those.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Things had to happen, everything including the fumble snap by
Malik Willis from Sean Ryan in the center where you
know where Chicago recovered, but the on side kick. I mean,
I think we've had a total you guys might know
the staff, but it's either four or five recoveries through
the whole season.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
In sixteen weeks.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Right now they get one to throw, you know, in
the back of the end zone against the blitz zero
looked right there. To get it back in the game
was amazing. I mean, you just go around one play
after another. Everything had to work out, including you know,
an absolute dime to DJ Moore against great coverage of
Keyshawn Nixon to get the touchdown, you know, and overtime.
(03:58):
It's kind of an amazing finish to that game.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
Nobody saw the Chicago Bears potentially winning his division. I
didn't even have him making a playoffs even so much
as five weeks ago. It just shows you what momentum
but also belief can do. That you can punch above
your weight class. How that defense continues to turn the
ball over is beyond me. And now we get potentially tonight,
you know, we got Old Man River, you know what
I mean, that could Why not everything else is happening
(04:24):
this season, Why can't Old Man River figure it out?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
How to get it done? In San Francisco, the.

team spirit meets personal style. Listen, there's a lot of
things I actually want to get to regarding the Jets.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
With two games remaining in the regular season.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Fourteen players on the Jets active roster were not on
the team on August nineteenth.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Nine of those players were acquired in season.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Ten players on the Jets active roster joined the team
after spending time on a practice squad. The Jets lead
the league in snaps by first and second year players
in our second in the NFL in snaps by rookies.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
That's just the facts there, Baldy.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
It's the facts, and some of it gets clouded because
of the quarterback play throughout the year, and so you
don't get a chance to really see what a d Mitchell.
We've seen signs that ad Mitchell can be the guy.
We saw the biggest play yesterday was to ad Mitchell
down the field. They needed about four or five more
of those type of plays but you know, that's the
(05:44):
guy I think that I think we have talked about,
and it's clear that he's going to have a spot
on this roster going forward. He's a big time talent.
I would say that he was in everybody's top thirty
just too years ago coming out of coming out of college,
and he's proving that right now.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
You know.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
The sad part is, you know, with the Garrett Wilson news,
we won't get to see what it looks like. I
was hoping we can get teased and maybe leave the
you know, our fans and everybody kind of like with
a look of what's to come, because we still don't
know if we have to go out and address that
position at a high end level. When you think about,
you know, now the position that translates quicker in the NFL,
(06:27):
it used to be the running back and it still is.
But now these receivers are coming out ready as well.
When you look at what Tetorola is doing, you look
at what yeah, you look at Chris Alive, Garrett Wilson,
how they came out, Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, Like, guys
come out ready because they get so many opportunities to
see different coverages because they throw the ball more in
college than what they used to. So we don't We
(06:50):
still don't know, And that's why I wanted to see
how they complimented Garrett Garrett, how Garrett complimented and those
pieces work together well.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I mean, if you just look at Chris Alave, actually
his teammate at Ohio State, I mean a Lave was
invisible for two years prior to Tyler Shuck. They've got
a legitimate, big time prospect that quarterback, with a good
coordinator and play caller and Kellen Moore, and all of
a sudden, a Lave is putting up numbers like we
saw yesterday. Like that's you need the other part of
(07:20):
the equation. I mean, Garrett needs a guy that can
get him the ball in all the different spots that
Alavy got the ball yesterday. I mean, you watch Saint
games now, before these last four or five games that
Chuck has played, he was you would say, why is
he out there?
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Why would you come back from minjury.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
You can say all the same things that we might
say about Garrett right now, But when you get a
quarterback that's getting you the ball, you can't wait to
get on the field.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
You can't wait for Sundays.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
You can't wait to show your skill set the way
A LaVey is right now over the last few weeks.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Listen, when Garrett Wilson comes back on the field in
twenty twenty six, watch out. That dude is crazy and
he was taken a next step. Unfortunately it was banged
up this year. You mentioned the quarterback instability there, Bart
and Baldy. This is the third This is the sixth
time since twenty sixteen the Jets have started three quarterbacks
(08:13):
in the season.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Bart, Yeah, I mean, and you know that's a problem.
And you know, you talk about trying to compete in
this division, you're gonna have to deal with May and
Josh Allen and you won't. You can't compete with him
on a consistent basis until you get yourself a dude,
you know. And I don't say that the dude has
to be quite like up to their you know place
(08:34):
I put like this right, Like when I was in Baltimore,
we knew we had to see Ben Roethlisberger, right, and
we knew at some point we had to see Carson Palmer.
But we didn't need we didn't need a great quarterback
Joe Flacco was good enough, right when you have the
defense and the run game and all that stuff that
we built. So the Jets have to figure out man
(08:55):
they have to get. They have to get a top
fifteen quarterback to be able to compete.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
We'll say, not only is Garrett Wilson not playing right now,
but Mason Taylor was not on the field against the Saints.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
And that's an issue too. Well.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
He Aaron Glynn did say that he anticipates he'll be
back in the lineup this week.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
I'm what I'm saying is like we basically got five guys.
Like with as great as the offensive line has been
has been able to be healthy, we got to figure
out how to keep guys on the field too.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
This is the first time since twenty twelve that the
Jets have started the same offensive line from left to right.
This is going to be what the sixteenth or the
fifteenth consecutive game, No, sixteenth this week against the New
England Patriots. With that being said, Baldy, I wanted to
talk about Jamie Sherwood a little bit.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
He was outstanding against the Saints.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
He was, Oh, no, you.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Look, I mean, you know you're talking about guys that
can stay on the field. I mean Jamien Sherwood now
two years ago, stayed on the field like he's out
there every play.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
You know, he's sacking the quarterback.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
You know he's getting uh you know, thirty six import
and sacked right there to get off the field, you know,
I mean, I think that he sidelined the sideline.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
And so that's what they need.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
They need, you know, seven eight nine guys like that,
they can just stay on the field, play together where
the communication has really sound. You're not turning guys loose
like they did a lobby at the end of that game,
you know where you know, you're actually talking to guys
that know exactly what the signals are.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
And Bart can understand this as well as anybody here.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
And that continuity that they've never had throughout the year,
whether it's losing corner safeties, all their safeties have gotten down,
have gone down, and so that's what they that's what
you've got to, you know, hope for work for is
to try to get that continuity out there on the
field the way Jamie Sherwood has provided over the last
(10:55):
two years.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Like when you don't have a traditional middle linebacker you
don't realize until you don't until you don't have one, right.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
CJ.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Moseley, David Harris before that, Jonathan Bilma, Right, you have
to have that because I think that exactly, and I
think Sherwood is uniquely qualified to play the will linebacker,
which is what I was to the bubble, you know,
being able to do the athletic stuff to the open side,
(11:23):
being able to play in space, dropping zone. All his
me and his background are similar. I played safety for
two years in college. You have to be able to know.
I played linebacker my whole life before that. But you
know he has the skill set to be able to
handle guys when they motion the receiver out and you
got to lead a box and you want a knife
feel in and you need somebody that's going to get
a good reroute on the on the on the receiver
(11:46):
or the tight end that split out to the open side.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
And can still read two to one.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
I can read through two to one to see if
the number one is sitting down to run to the
china to let the corner grab the verse. All those
sophisticated things like are done by the will linebacker. None
of that's done by Mike linebacker. I feel like you're
bearing his skill set and the ability to allow him
to flourish. And what is the will linebacker. He's usually
the primary blitzer. He's usually to the outside to the
(12:12):
bubble because he because we're covering up the Mike linebacker
front side.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
It's a listen, it's a fair point. I love hearing
your football knowledge. Listen, you are more of a thumper
than jamieen is.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
With that, you gotta be a thumper, no more, like
this game is about thumpers, no more. I know we
got these tight ends, but now you're going tight tiger personnel,
don't you. I much rather have that guy to the
to the open side, to the other tight end side
in case that tight end releases.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
He has the skill set the Karen vertical.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
And he's got more range than you just because he's
no longer guy.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
So he's got one hundred and forty tackles so far
this season, might get a career high one hundred and
fifty eight. Last year he ninety eight solo tackles. That
love the National Football League. Last year he's got sixty
five solos.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
If he's if he's going to be your primary star
and you want to build a defense kind of around him.
I think he needs to be a will linebacker or
so we can use that sideline to sideline speed because
the mike linebackers to the close side because he's covered up,
so he can run and nobody can get to him.
But the hard stuff is to like I say all
the time, and I'm not just saying it because I'm
a will linebacker.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
When I go down the.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
List of the great players, where every time you talk
about Brian Irlacker, I think Lance Briggs needs to be
shot out there. Right we talk about Patrick Willis, you
got to talk about Nabar or Bowman because if will
linebacker does the dirty work.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
You know, Bart did mention something before that. I want
to get back to that big pitcher AFC East. The
Patriots have taken a huge step in Mike Frable's first season.
Drake May looks like one of the better quarterbacks in
the league. They're playing complimentary football. Stefan Diggs is really
given that offensive shot in the arm. The Bills continue
(13:47):
to win, even though it's not pretty. They just find
a way, and I guess that's a trademark of good teams.
Right now, they're eleven and four, and they have RoboCop
a quarterback and Josh Allen. So the Jets all they're
gonna be dealing with these two teams not only next year,
but for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Baldy.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
I mean, look, they.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Picked Josh Allen at the top of the draft and
knock On Wood, the guy never gets hurt and there's
nobody else like him in this whole league.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
They they picked Drake May at the top of the
draft and he has done nothing but flourished. They surrounded
him with everything everything that you could want. Approven play
called and Josh McDaniels. They went out and got uh Digs,
which you know was questionable at the time because he's
coming off in a cl But they went out and
got Hunter Henry, you know, and he's been huge. They
(14:40):
they got good position coaches. Doug Maron was a guy
that was with the Jets way long ago with herm
Edwards coaching the offensive line. A guy like Vederian Lowe,
who I didn't know that could play in this league
is playing left tackle for him. They draft me like
they haven't made They haven't made any mis takes this year,
(15:01):
and so even a guy like Klevon Chaseaw. I mean,
he was a guy that went around this league. People
gave up bottom. He makes the biggest play in the
game last night, you know, and it is on the field.
But they've got a vision how to build this team
with Rabel and with the coaching staff and the pieces
that they've added to this defense and to the offense.
(15:22):
Like they put this thing together and it all came together,
probably quicker than anybody thought.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
But they're here to stay. This isn't gonna be a
one year run. It's gonna be a to your.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Point, ya, there's gonna be a team that you're gonna
have to contend with in this division along with Buffalo
every single year right now.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, And the reason why I'm talking about it part
is that you look at the Jets schedule. They're finishing
up this year with the Patriots and the Bills, and
ultimately the Jets are gonna have something to say about
who wins the AFC East potentially. I mean, you could
keep one of these teams, you know, you'd have to
spring off quite an upset, but that's on the line
and that should be motivation for you.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Yeah, And that's why I wanted everybody to play right
because that's you know, that's what you want to do.
Like if I can't go, I'm I'm gonna take something
from you and mess something up for you as well.
And the issue is too the Patriots are still in
that window because they have a rookie quarterback on a
rookie deal. They say have fifty million dollars in solar
cap space to try and go after it again next
(16:23):
year and be able to add even.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
More pieces to this.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
So this is gonna be a tough challenge for the Jets,
but it should be definitely motivation. You always have to find,
you know, this is why I want to do it,
and this is what my motivation is for the week,
and you find different things to make sure you finish strong.

more at your local Kendra Scott's store or kendrascott dot com.
Where team spirit meets personal style. Baldy, what do you
make a rookie safety Malchi more out of of them?
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Well, I mean, look The biggest issue with this Jets
defense all year has been takeaways.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
They can't get it. Still don't have an interception.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
But Malachi gets that forest bumble there in the second
play the game, and Stickers recovers them. You know, he's
gotten to the quarterback, he's played in the deep post,
he's been up in the box like he showed real
safety versatility, which you got to have in his sleep.
And so I thought, you know, Malachi, if you're looking
for one of the bright spots on this team, I
(17:28):
thought yesterday I thought Malachi played very well again. I
thought juwant Briggs played well again, got himself, Sack had
a good pass rush, beat the left.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Guard one on one.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
And then I think that Stickers showed signs that he
can be very sticky in coverage against good players, that
he can run with them, and I think he's got
good covered skills. I thought those three guys along with
Sherwood stood out yesterday. But Malachi, look, he gets the
ball out of the you know, the at the hands
there of the second play and allow the Jets to
(18:03):
jump up to a three not to lead in that game.
And those are the kind of plays you want from
your safety you want your safety when you look at
the at the end of the year, you want your
safety to have numbers, whether it's forced fumbles, fumble recoveries, interceptions, passes, defects.
You want to see numbers next to your safety's name.
And he's starting to put some of those numbers.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Together and all.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
And also you know you talk about him, this is
valuable experience, and you talk about the next two games.
This is who your competition is going to be. Go
ahead and figure it out. I mean, if I have
to watch the Patris run another speedo and you, and
if I'm grabbing the speedo, I'm always gonna grab the
(18:45):
speedo from Dig's side, knowing that the ball is probably
going to go to him. I have no idea. This
has been the same places they've been running since I
was playing, between that and the Gator route, and they're
still falling for I'm like, why wint this opposite safety
grab the speedo to pick up digs and bait them.
Act like you're going back to cover two knowing he
coming and come down and steal that. They ran maybe
twenty five speedos. I say, It's like, that's what I say, man,
(19:09):
These young guys man, sometimes you need to study your history.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
What are you say, an interception one coming up for Melchai?
More Speedo's coming. Digs Step up, man, step up, pick
six times.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
If it's covered three, open up like you're going to
cover two and then stick that back foot in the
ground and run down and go hit your head on
the goal post and read style.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
You don't you know what's funny, bart is you're talking
about speedos. I mean, you watched enough for these and
that's why film studies so important. You're watching enough for
these games. You see these rock combiny, you see these
patterns over and over and over again. Quarterback under samer
play action. Here's your speedo coming. You know what combination
is it? Is it a post dig?
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Whatever? It is?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Like, you're right, I mean that's what happened yesterday. Stingly
got one yesterday went to the house with it. That's
what they did to uh you know at the end
of the game right there, the Saints like they jumped
that route in the middle the field right there and
on a third down throw and uh, you know I
thought that the boot.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
The boot throwback.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
I mean, hell, I'm thinking, I'm like, am I watching
Matt Shop throw the ball. You know, I forgot the
tight end there, like they created the rollout to the
to the right fake throwback, Like come on, man, like
be a student of the game.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Couldn't be falling for these old banana the tailpipe stuff.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Man.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
I'm like, man, this is man. That's why Philip Rivers
can come back.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
And play man, because I'm telling you the football acumen
on some of these young guys. Man, it can't be
about just size speed, man. You have to understand conceptually
what teams are trying to do to you.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Get up my long kids.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Hey listen, Jets fans are rooting for the forty nine
ers tonight big time. Oh exactly, yeah, because right now
first round order. If the season and of today and
it doesn't we have two games to go, the Colts
would be picking eighteenth.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
I believe.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Uh, what what do you guys make of what happened yesterday?
The Giants losing another tight one to the Minnesota Vikings,
so right now they're slotted one. The Raiders gave Houston
all they could handle in Texans won that game they
slotted too.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Yeah, but you know, the Giants don't want to be
like Lovey Smith and win the last game. When the
last game it mess up the Church's money because he's
gonna be hard for the Giants to prove that they're
not trying, that they can't beat the Raiders. They're going
to play the Raiders and really seemingly the number one
pick is up for grabs.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Cleveland gave Buffalo all that wanted. It looked for a
while there that the Browns might be able to pull
that off. And then Tennessee they beat a team that
we used to know as the Chiefs. But you know,
obviously that team you saw last week in Kansas City,
it's been torn apart Baldy by injuries.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Well, I mean they you know, they lose two quarterbacks
and back to back week the ACL tears.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
I mean, I don't know the last time that's happened.
So now you've played the quarterbacks ever played for him.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Side, because that's gonna be I mean, I've seen nothing
but improvement from Cam Woard. The guy's basically taking every snap.
He's playing with all rookies. He's been competitive in a
lot of games this year. The numbers are starting to
come in his favor. They win another game, there is
some level of improvement. You see Tyler Schuck yesterday, it
(22:21):
looks like he can be a front line starter in
his business. This is four weeks in a row he's
played greater. I mean, the Jets are looking at what
happens when you get a quarterback and you can complete
third downs, you can stay on the field, you can
get Chuck plays, you know in the passing game. It's
it's kind of just a vision. And that's the same
(22:43):
thing to the Giants. I mean, you can say Jackson
Dart is a few, but if you don't have guys
think it catch the ball, Theo Johnson, Darius Slayton. If
they can't catch the ball, you got to get better
players around the quarterback. You can't come out of the
game like yesterday the Giants are winnable game against the
broken mine stupn team and throw from thirteen yards and
win a game this league, you can't do it. You
(23:04):
get people around quarterback. It's just a reminder Jets and
what they need to do.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
It'd be interesting, right because you look at those teams
like are the Saint Soda own shuck?
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Right? Are the New.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Orleans people I was talking to yesterday, It sure sounded
like they think.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
He's the guy is Cleveland, Sodo and Shaudure.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
So I'm just trying to line up the quarterbacks with
the Jets and what opportunities they'll have without without having
to give up future draft capital to get up to
get the guy they want.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, well, well to see if.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I know, we'll have to actually see it more declares
for the draft. We don't know that just yet.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Give me a game plan for this week.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
This is the final game you're playing in front of
your fans, their baldy. You got the Patriots coming to town.
They got their eyes on the FC East Crown. We
talked about that before. I thought the Jets were really,
really competitive Thursday night game there in New England. Kept
it for within one score most of the game. I
think they lost by thirteen points. But how can they
(24:10):
make this thing look better and give themselves a chance?
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Well, I mean, first of all, the motivations played spoiler.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
I mean you can you can push basically, maybe give Buffalo,
help Buffalo get the division and knock the Patriots out
after they had won ten games in a row. I
mean they're exactly the Jets are exactly where the patrio.
I mean the Patriots are exactly where the Jets want
to be, Like, that's what you want, you want that
kind of it's in a dramatic turnaround. But okay, you
(24:40):
played well for quite a bit in that game, like
they did yesterday against the Saints. You know, you got
a nine six game at the end of the third quarter.
You're competitive, Go find a way to finish the game.
Like if you could get your first interception against Drake
may he do one yesterday? You know, Marlon Humphrey got
one on them. I mean, go get your first interception.
(25:00):
I mean I'd like to see, you know, everybody celebrates
these interceptions in the end zone, and the whole team
runs out in the end zone and celebrates, and they
work on these things all week long.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
What'd be great to see.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Quantest Stingers or malatime More get an interception and celebrate
it and see if you can, you know, do something
defensively to help the team win he game. We know
that special teams why they could be a threat to anybody,
what they can do in the special teams. Be good
to see all three faces show up, you know, against
the Patriots and maybe take down a really good team
(25:35):
and just feel good about yourself.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
During a holiday season.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Right now, it's the holiday season. Baldy wants to dance
bart That's what I'm here.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
And listen Breest Hall forty six yards away from one
thousand for the first time in his career. When you
watch that Patriots defense struggle with King Henry on Sunday
Night Football, you gotta think, Hey, can the Jets get
this run game going at home?
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Yeah, but he's going to do it against a He's
gonna have to do it against a loaded box, I'm sure,
and a lot of run blitzing. So you're gonna have
to be on your on your details because they're gonna
be probably adding more bodies to the to the count.
But you know, those are great opportunities when when somebody
blitzeres have run blitzes to kind of exploit that that
aggression form. But you have to understand the type of
game you're gonna get is gonna be slightly different from
(26:23):
the game that the Ravens got. So it's gonna have
to be a different type of run game because you
have different strengths and weaknesses.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Yeah, Baldy, Ultimately the Jets are gonna need a big
game from Priests Hall to spring off the upset, and
I think he's capable of it. I mean, his jump
cuts on some of these plays are just incredible where
it looks like there's nowhere to go as far as
that hole close and and just jump cut up the sideline.
He makes some of these four and five yard plays
(26:49):
look just absolutely magnificent.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
No, no, no, look, I mean priest Is, I mean,
nobody is up against more than Breesce hall Is. To
Bart's point about style in a box and knowing the
quarterback is going to struggle on third downs, So he's
getting looks at other other running backs aren't getting because of,
you know, just a limited passing game that they have,
and so it's important for Briefs to get a thousand
(27:14):
yards to put that next to his name. He's trying
to build a career. Whether it's going to be in
New York or maybe someplace ol two knows.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
But you know, he.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Stayed healthy this year. That's uh, that's something all running
backs are trying to do in his business. And it
seems like he gets harder and harder every year, but
he stayed healthy.
Speaker 6 (27:30):
Uh Uh.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
The run day shows uh signs and that's really if
you want to you want to have big days the
way James Cook is the way some of these backs are.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
You need explosive runs.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
And you know you saw Jael Warren yesterday, but two
forty five yard touchdown runs that's nothing. What the what
the Steelers did to the Lions yesterday and those runs,
it's nothing that the Jets can't do as well with
simple toss weak side slants like you could break down
if you blocked the second level and maybe get a
wide receiver to pick off a safe safety or something.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
Uh don't. Runs are available to breeze fall.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Hey listen, fellas, Merry Christmas. Happy holidays to you in
respective families. I've really enjoyed it this year. We got
a couple more podcasts to go. A bart stopped being
a grinch though. Okay, I want you to smile. Want
you to smile, not only here but outside the building
as well. Because Baldi smiling every day. Swim with the
sharks in South Florida.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
That's because he's becuse. You're getting plenty of vitamin D
from the sun.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I know we all need a trip right now, all right,
Thanks fellows,
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us here
at One Jets Drive. Thanks for tuning in and listening
throughout the twenty twenty five season. The Jets have their
final home game coming up Sunday at Medlefe Stadium against
the AFC East leading Patriots.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
They'll have a say.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
As far as who wins the division title this year
because not only the Jets finished with the Patriots at home,
but the following week they will be in Western New
York to face the Buffalo Bills. We're gonna be talking
about what's happening in the league and also a big
picture look at the Green and White coming up with
Bart Scott and Brian Baldinger.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
You meet anybody in the world, and I think we're
gonna win next Sunday.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
This gets wonder LA. Can't wait.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
Put your seat belts on and getting ready for the ride.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to every one who's been
joining the podcast throughout the year, and to you two,
of course, Brian Baldinger and Bart Scott Baldy. You got
the T shirt on today while a colored shirt, I
should say, short sleep.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Where are you at?
Speaker 6 (01:14):
I met my house in Fort Lauderdale right now.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Oh man, go Johnson got out of got out of
Motown yesterday after that Steeler game. Uh, got back here
about three in the morning, woke up in a couple hours,
watched watch the Jets and Saints.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
So I'm ready to roll here, just like Bart, you
ready to roll.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I'll tell you what you never.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
I never would have anticipated the season would have materialized
the way it has. No Baltimore Ravens, No, no Kansas
City Chiefs. You got the new powerhouse Jacksonville Jaguars, who
now maybe potentially looks like, hey, they got a quarterback
playing hot, and they have a they have a defense,
and both Nicks that finally got exposed a little bit.
(01:57):
I can't call it, Baldy. I don't know who's good
who's not good? Is a week the week type of thing.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
It's week to week, Bart, it always is. We might
not have the Detroit Lions, they won fifteen games last year. Bart,
we might not have the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
In the postseason.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I mean, but you know these games, like some of
these games are coming down to a play, they're coming
down to a call, They're coming like you know, you
can look at that game in Pittsburgh yesterday and go,
I don't know if a Monra Brown Saint Brown doesn't,
you know, it doesn't interfere there, Like, who knows, maybe
maybe the Lions win and the Steelers are looking outside
(02:34):
in I mean one play here there.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
We saw what happened with Seattle and the.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Rams on Thursday night at Chicago and green Bay, Like
it's crazy. Some of these games are just improbable. That's
why you can't call because it's week to week like that.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
What did you guys think about the endings to that
Seattle Rams game? Seattle's down thirty to fourteen on fourth quarter,
the controversial two point play they win in overtime. And
then the green Bay Chicago game. I thought Malik Willis
was playing awfully well for the Packers, coming on in
relief of Jordan Love. Of course, they had a ten
(03:09):
point leave with four minutes left in the fourth quarter,
unable to get that on side kick, and then Caleb
Williams throw a diamond overtime.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
I mean, all those.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Things had to happen, everything including the fumble snap by
Malik Willis from Sean Ryan in the center where you
know where Chicago recovered, but the on side kick. I mean,
I think we've had a total you guys might know
the staff, but it's either four or five recoveries through
the whole season.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
In sixteen weeks.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Right now they get one to throw, you know, in
the back of the end zone against the blitz zero
looked right there. To get it back in the game
was amazing. I mean, you just go around one play
after another. Everything had to work out, including you know,
an absolute dime to DJ Moore against great coverage of
Keyshawn Nixon to get the touchdown, you know, and overtime.
(03:58):
It's kind of an amazing finish to that game.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
Nobody saw the Chicago Bears potentially winning his division. I
didn't even have him making a playoffs even so much
as five weeks ago. It just shows you what momentum
but also belief can do. That you can punch above
your weight class. How that defense continues to turn the
ball over is beyond me. And now we get potentially tonight,
you know, we got Old Man River, you know what
I mean, that could Why not everything else is happening
(04:24):
this season, Why can't Old Man River figure it out?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
How to get it done? In San Francisco, the.

look by shopping Spirited styles and so much more at
your local Kendra Scott store or Kendrascott dot com. Where
team spirit meets personal style. Listen, there's a lot of
things I actually want to get to regarding the Jets.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
With two games remaining in the regular season.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Fourteen players on the Jets active roster were not on
the team on August nineteenth.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Nine of those players were acquired in season.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Ten players on the Jets active roster joined the team
after spending time on a practice squad. The Jets lead
the league in snaps by first and second year players
in our second in the NFL in snaps by rookies.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
That's just the facts there, Baldy.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
It's the facts, and some of it gets clouded because
of the quarterback play throughout the year, and so you
don't get a chance to really see what a d Mitchell.
We've seen signs that ad Mitchell can be the guy.
We saw the biggest play yesterday was to ad Mitchell
down the field. They needed about four or five more
of those type of plays but you know, that's the
(05:44):
guy I think that I think we have talked about,
and it's clear that he's going to have a spot
on this roster going forward. He's a big time talent.
I would say that he was in everybody's top thirty
just too years ago coming out of coming out of college,
and he's proving that right now.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
You know.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
The sad part is, you know, with the Garrett Wilson news,
we won't get to see what it looks like. I
was hoping we can get teased and maybe leave the
you know, our fans and everybody kind of like with
a look of what's to come, because we still don't
know if we have to go out and address that
position at a high end level. When you think about,
you know, now the position that translates quicker in the NFL,
(06:27):
it used to be the running back and it still is.
But now these receivers are coming out ready as well.
When you look at what Tetorola is doing, you look
at what yeah, you look at Chris Alive, Garrett Wilson,
how they came out, Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, Like, guys
come out ready because they get so many opportunities to
see different coverages because they throw the ball more in
college than what they used to. So we don't We
(06:50):
still don't know, And that's why I wanted to see
how they complimented Garrett Garrett, how Garrett complimented and those
pieces work together well.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I mean, if you just look at Chris Alave, actually
his teammate at Ohio State, I mean a Lave was
invisible for two years prior to Tyler Shuck. They've got
a legitimate, big time prospect that quarterback, with a good
coordinator and play caller and Kellen Moore, and all of
a sudden, a Lave is putting up numbers like we
saw yesterday. Like that's you need the other part of
(07:20):
the equation. I mean, Garrett needs a guy that can
get him the ball in all the different spots that
Alavy got the ball yesterday. I mean, you watch Saint
games now, before these last four or five games that
Chuck has played, he was you would say, why is
he out there?
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Why would you come back from minjury.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
You can say all the same things that we might
say about Garrett right now, But when you get a
quarterback that's getting you the ball, you can't wait to
get on the field.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
You can't wait for Sundays.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
You can't wait to show your skill set the way
A LaVey is right now over the last few weeks.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Listen, when Garrett Wilson comes back on the field in
twenty twenty six, watch out. That dude is crazy and
he was taken a next step. Unfortunately it was banged
up this year. You mentioned the quarterback instability there, Bart
and Baldy. This is the third This is the sixth
time since twenty sixteen the Jets have started three quarterbacks
(08:13):
in the season.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Bart, Yeah, I mean, and you know that's a problem.
And you know, you talk about trying to compete in
this division, you're gonna have to deal with May and
Josh Allen and you won't. You can't compete with him
on a consistent basis until you get yourself a dude,
you know. And I don't say that the dude has
to be quite like up to their you know place
(08:34):
I put like this right, Like when I was in Baltimore,
we knew we had to see Ben Roethlisberger, right, and
we knew at some point we had to see Carson Palmer.
But we didn't need we didn't need a great quarterback
Joe Flacco was good enough, right when you have the
defense and the run game and all that stuff that
we built. So the Jets have to figure out man
(08:55):
they have to get. They have to get a top
fifteen quarterback to be able to compete.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
We'll say, not only is Garrett Wilson not playing right now,
but Mason Taylor was not on the field against the Saints.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
And that's an issue too. Well.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
He Aaron Glynn did say that he anticipates he'll be
back in the lineup this week.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
I'm what I'm saying is like we basically got five guys.
Like with as great as the offensive line has been
has been able to be healthy, we got to figure
out how to keep guys on the field too.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
This is the first time since twenty twelve that the
Jets have started the same offensive line from left to right.
This is going to be what the sixteenth or the
fifteenth consecutive game, No, sixteenth this week against the New
England Patriots. With that being said, Baldy, I wanted to
talk about Jamie Sherwood a little bit.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
He was outstanding against the Saints.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
He was, Oh, no, you.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Look, I mean, you know you're talking about guys that
can stay on the field. I mean Jamien Sherwood now
two years ago, stayed on the field like he's out
there every play.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
You know, he's sacking the quarterback.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
You know he's getting uh you know, thirty six import
and sacked right there to get off the field, you know,
I mean, I think that he sidelined the sideline.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
And so that's what they need.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
They need, you know, seven eight nine guys like that,
they can just stay on the field, play together where
the communication has really sound. You're not turning guys loose
like they did a lobby at the end of that game,
you know where you know, you're actually talking to guys
that know exactly what the signals are.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
And Bart can understand this as well as anybody here.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
And that continuity that they've never had throughout the year,
whether it's losing corner safeties, all their safeties have gotten down,
have gone down, and so that's what they that's what
you've got to, you know, hope for work for is
to try to get that continuity out there on the
field the way Jamie Sherwood has provided over the last
(10:55):
two years.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Like when you don't have a traditional middle linebacker you
don't realize until you don't until you don't have one, right.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
CJ.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Moseley, David Harris before that, Jonathan Bilma, Right, you have
to have that because I think that exactly, and I
think Sherwood is uniquely qualified to play the will linebacker,
which is what I was to the bubble, you know,
being able to do the athletic stuff to the open side,
(11:23):
being able to play in space, dropping zone. All his
me and his background are similar. I played safety for
two years in college. You have to be able to know.
I played linebacker my whole life before that. But you
know he has the skill set to be able to
handle guys when they motion the receiver out and you
got to lead a box and you want a knife
feel in and you need somebody that's going to get
a good reroute on the on the on the receiver
(11:46):
or the tight end that split out to the open side.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
And can still read two to one.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
I can read through two to one to see if
the number one is sitting down to run to the
china to let the corner grab the verse. All those
sophisticated things like are done by the will linebacker. None
of that's done by Mike linebacker. I feel like you're
bearing his skill set and the ability to allow him
to flourish. And what is the will linebacker. He's usually
the primary blitzer. He's usually to the outside to the
(12:12):
bubble because he because we're covering up the Mike linebacker
front side.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
It's a listen, it's a fair point. I love hearing
your football knowledge. Listen, you are more of a thumper
than jamieen is.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
With that, you gotta be a thumper, no more, like
this game is about thumpers, no more. I know we
got these tight ends, but now you're going tight tiger personnel,
don't you. I much rather have that guy to the
to the open side, to the other tight end side
in case that tight end releases.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
He has the skill set the Karen vertical.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
And he's got more range than you just because he's
no longer guy.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
So he's got one hundred and forty tackles so far
this season, might get a career high one hundred and
fifty eight. Last year he ninety eight solo tackles. That
love the National Football League. Last year he's got sixty
five solos.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
If he's if he's going to be your primary star
and you want to build a defense kind of around him.
I think he needs to be a will linebacker or
so we can use that sideline to sideline speed because
the mike linebackers to the close side because he's covered up,
so he can run and nobody can get to him.
But the hard stuff is to like I say all
the time, and I'm not just saying it because I'm
a will linebacker.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
When I go down the.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
List of the great players, where every time you talk
about Brian Irlacker, I think Lance Briggs needs to be
shot out there. Right we talk about Patrick Willis, you
got to talk about Nabar or Bowman because if will
linebacker does the dirty work.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
You know, Bart did mention something before that. I want
to get back to that big pitcher AFC East. The
Patriots have taken a huge step in Mike Frable's first season.
Drake May looks like one of the better quarterbacks in
the league. They're playing complimentary football. Stefan Diggs is really
given that offensive shot in the arm. The Bills continue
(13:47):
to win, even though it's not pretty. They just find
a way, and I guess that's a trademark of good teams.
Right now, they're eleven and four, and they have RoboCop
a quarterback and Josh Allen. So the Jets all they're
gonna be dealing with these two teams not only next year,
but for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Baldy.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
I mean, look, they.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Picked Josh Allen at the top of the draft and
knock On Wood, the guy never gets hurt and there's
nobody else like him in this whole league.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
They they picked Drake May at the top of the
draft and he has done nothing but flourished. They surrounded
him with everything everything that you could want. Approven play
called and Josh McDaniels. They went out and got uh Digs,
which you know was questionable at the time because he's
coming off in a cl But they went out and
got Hunter Henry, you know, and he's been huge. They
(14:40):
they got good position coaches. Doug Maron was a guy
that was with the Jets way long ago with herm
Edwards coaching the offensive line. A guy like Vederian Lowe,
who I didn't know that could play in this league
is playing left tackle for him. They draft me like
they haven't made They haven't made any mis takes this year,
(15:01):
and so even a guy like Klevon Chaseaw. I mean,
he was a guy that went around this league. People
gave up bottom. He makes the biggest play in the
game last night, you know, and it is on the field.
But they've got a vision how to build this team
with Rabel and with the coaching staff and the pieces
that they've added to this defense and to the offense.
(15:22):
Like they put this thing together and it all came together,
probably quicker than anybody thought.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
But they're here to stay. This isn't gonna be a
one year run. It's gonna be a to your.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Point, ya, there's gonna be a team that you're gonna
have to contend with in this division along with Buffalo
every single year right now.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, And the reason why I'm talking about it part
is that you look at the Jets schedule. They're finishing
up this year with the Patriots and the Bills, and
ultimately the Jets are gonna have something to say about
who wins the AFC East potentially. I mean, you could
keep one of these teams, you know, you'd have to
spring off quite an upset, but that's on the line
and that should be motivation for you.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Yeah, And that's why I wanted everybody to play right
because that's you know, that's what you want to do.
Like if I can't go, I'm I'm gonna take something
from you and mess something up for you as well.
And the issue is too the Patriots are still in
that window because they have a rookie quarterback on a
rookie deal. They say have fifty million dollars in solar
cap space to try and go after it again next
(16:23):
year and be able to add even.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
More pieces to this.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
So this is gonna be a tough challenge for the Jets,
but it should be definitely motivation. You always have to find,
you know, this is why I want to do it,
and this is what my motivation is for the week,
and you find different things to make sure you finish strong.

Where team spirit meets personal style. Baldy, what do you
make a rookie safety Malchi more out of of them?
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Well, I mean, look The biggest issue with this Jets
defense all year has been takeaways.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
They can't get it. Still don't have an interception.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
But Malachi gets that forest bumble there in the second
play the game, and Stickers recovers them. You know, he's
gotten to the quarterback, he's played in the deep post,
he's been up in the box like he showed real
safety versatility, which you got to have in his sleep.
And so I thought, you know, Malachi, if you're looking
for one of the bright spots on this team, I
(17:28):
thought yesterday I thought Malachi played very well again. I
thought juwant Briggs played well again, got himself, Sack had
a good pass rush, beat the left.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Guard one on one.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
And then I think that Stickers showed signs that he
can be very sticky in coverage against good players, that
he can run with them, and I think he's got
good covered skills. I thought those three guys along with
Sherwood stood out yesterday. But Malachi, look, he gets the
ball out of the you know, the at the hands
there of the second play and allow the Jets to
(18:03):
jump up to a three not to lead in that game.
And those are the kind of plays you want from
your safety you want your safety when you look at
the at the end of the year, you want your
safety to have numbers, whether it's forced fumbles, fumble recoveries, interceptions, passes, defects.
You want to see numbers next to your safety's name.
And he's starting to put some of those numbers.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Together and all.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
And also you know you talk about him, this is
valuable experience, and you talk about the next two games.
This is who your competition is going to be. Go
ahead and figure it out. I mean, if I have
to watch the Patris run another speedo and you, and
if I'm grabbing the speedo, I'm always gonna grab the
(18:45):
speedo from Dig's side, knowing that the ball is probably
going to go to him. I have no idea. This
has been the same places they've been running since I
was playing, between that and the Gator route, and they're
still falling for I'm like, why wint this opposite safety
grab the speedo to pick up digs and bait them.
Act like you're going back to cover two knowing he
coming and come down and steal that. They ran maybe
twenty five speedos. I say, It's like, that's what I say, man,
(19:09):
These young guys man, sometimes you need to study your history.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
What are you say, an interception one coming up for Melchai?
More Speedo's coming. Digs Step up, man, step up, pick
six times.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
If it's covered three, open up like you're going to
cover two and then stick that back foot in the
ground and run down and go hit your head on
the goal post and read style.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
You don't you know what's funny, bart is you're talking
about speedos. I mean, you watched enough for these and
that's why film studies so important. You're watching enough for
these games. You see these rock combiny, you see these
patterns over and over and over again. Quarterback under samer
play action. Here's your speedo coming. You know what combination
is it? Is it a post dig?
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Whatever? It is?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Like, you're right, I mean that's what happened yesterday. Stingly
got one yesterday went to the house with it. That's
what they did to uh you know at the end
of the game right there, the Saints like they jumped
that route in the middle the field right there and
on a third down throw and uh, you know I
thought that the boot.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
The boot throwback.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
I mean, hell, I'm thinking, I'm like, am I watching
Matt Shop throw the ball. You know, I forgot the
tight end there, like they created the rollout to the
to the right fake throwback, Like come on, man, like
be a student of the game.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Couldn't be falling for these old banana the tailpipe stuff.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Man.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
I'm like, man, this is man. That's why Philip Rivers
can come back.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
And play man, because I'm telling you the football acumen
on some of these young guys. Man, it can't be
about just size speed, man. You have to understand conceptually
what teams are trying to do to you.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Get up my long kids.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Hey listen, Jets fans are rooting for the forty nine
ers tonight big time. Oh exactly, yeah, because right now
first round order. If the season and of today and
it doesn't we have two games to go, the Colts
would be picking eighteenth.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
I believe.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Uh, what what do you guys make of what happened yesterday?
The Giants losing another tight one to the Minnesota Vikings,
so right now they're slotted one. The Raiders gave Houston
all they could handle in Texans won that game they
slotted too.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Yeah, but you know, the Giants don't want to be
like Lovey Smith and win the last game. When the
last game it mess up the Church's money because he's
gonna be hard for the Giants to prove that they're
not trying, that they can't beat the Raiders. They're going
to play the Raiders and really seemingly the number one
pick is up for grabs.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Cleveland gave Buffalo all that wanted. It looked for a
while there that the Browns might be able to pull
that off. And then Tennessee they beat a team that
we used to know as the Chiefs. But you know,
obviously that team you saw last week in Kansas City,
it's been torn apart Baldy by injuries.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Well, I mean they you know, they lose two quarterbacks
and back to back week the ACL tears.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
I mean, I don't know the last time that's happened.
So now you've played the quarterbacks ever played for him.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Side, because that's gonna be I mean, I've seen nothing
but improvement from Cam Woard. The guy's basically taking every snap.
He's playing with all rookies. He's been competitive in a
lot of games this year. The numbers are starting to
come in his favor. They win another game, there is
some level of improvement. You see Tyler Schuck yesterday, it
(22:21):
looks like he can be a front line starter in
his business. This is four weeks in a row he's
played greater. I mean, the Jets are looking at what
happens when you get a quarterback and you can complete
third downs, you can stay on the field, you can
get Chuck plays, you know in the passing game. It's
it's kind of just a vision. And that's the same
(22:43):
thing to the Giants. I mean, you can say Jackson
Dart is a few, but if you don't have guys
think it catch the ball, Theo Johnson, Darius Slayton. If
they can't catch the ball, you got to get better
players around the quarterback. You can't come out of the
game like yesterday the Giants are winnable game against the
broken mine stupn team and throw from thirteen yards and
win a game this league, you can't do it. You
(23:04):
get people around quarterback. It's just a reminder Jets and
what they need to do.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
It'd be interesting, right because you look at those teams
like are the Saint Soda own shuck?
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Right? Are the New.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Orleans people I was talking to yesterday, It sure sounded
like they think.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
He's the guy is Cleveland, Sodo and Shaudure.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
So I'm just trying to line up the quarterbacks with
the Jets and what opportunities they'll have without without having
to give up future draft capital to get up to
get the guy they want.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, well, well to see if.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I know, we'll have to actually see it more declares
for the draft. We don't know that just yet.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Give me a game plan for this week.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
This is the final game you're playing in front of
your fans, their baldy. You got the Patriots coming to town.
They got their eyes on the FC East Crown. We
talked about that before. I thought the Jets were really,
really competitive Thursday night game there in New England. Kept
it for within one score most of the game. I
think they lost by thirteen points. But how can they
(24:10):
make this thing look better and give themselves a chance?
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Well, I mean, first of all, the motivations played spoiler.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
I mean you can you can push basically, maybe give Buffalo,
help Buffalo get the division and knock the Patriots out
after they had won ten games in a row. I
mean they're exactly the Jets are exactly where the patrio.
I mean the Patriots are exactly where the Jets want
to be, Like, that's what you want, you want that
kind of it's in a dramatic turnaround. But okay, you
(24:40):
played well for quite a bit in that game, like
they did yesterday against the Saints. You know, you got
a nine six game at the end of the third quarter.
You're competitive, Go find a way to finish the game.
Like if you could get your first interception against Drake
may he do one yesterday? You know, Marlon Humphrey got
one on them. I mean, go get your first interception.
(25:00):
I mean I'd like to see, you know, everybody celebrates
these interceptions in the end zone, and the whole team
runs out in the end zone and celebrates, and they
work on these things all week long.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
What'd be great to see.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Quantest Stingers or malatime More get an interception and celebrate
it and see if you can, you know, do something
defensively to help the team win he game. We know
that special teams why they could be a threat to anybody,
what they can do in the special teams. Be good
to see all three faces show up, you know, against
the Patriots and maybe take down a really good team
(25:35):
and just feel good about yourself.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
During a holiday season.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Right now, it's the holiday season. Baldy wants to dance
bart That's what I'm here.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
And listen Breest Hall forty six yards away from one
thousand for the first time in his career. When you
watch that Patriots defense struggle with King Henry on Sunday
Night Football, you gotta think, Hey, can the Jets get
this run game going at home?
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Yeah, but he's going to do it against a He's
gonna have to do it against a loaded box, I'm sure,
and a lot of run blitzing. So you're gonna have
to be on your on your details because they're gonna
be probably adding more bodies to the to the count.
But you know, those are great opportunities when when somebody
blitzeres have run blitzes to kind of exploit that that
aggression form. But you have to understand the type of
game you're gonna get is gonna be slightly different from
(26:23):
the game that the Ravens got. So it's gonna have
to be a different type of run game because you
have different strengths and weaknesses.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Yeah, Baldy, Ultimately the Jets are gonna need a big
game from Priests Hall to spring off the upset, and
I think he's capable of it. I mean, his jump
cuts on some of these plays are just incredible where
it looks like there's nowhere to go as far as
that hole close and and just jump cut up the sideline.
He makes some of these four and five yard plays
(26:49):
look just absolutely magnificent.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
No, no, no, look, I mean priest Is, I mean,
nobody is up against more than Breesce hall Is. To
Bart's point about style in a box and knowing the
quarterback is going to struggle on third downs, So he's
getting looks at other other running backs aren't getting because of,
you know, just a limited passing game that they have,
and so it's important for Briefs to get a thousand
(27:14):
yards to put that next to his name. He's trying
to build a career. Whether it's going to be in
New York or maybe someplace ol two knows.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
But you know, he.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Stayed healthy this year. That's uh, that's something all running
backs are trying to do in his business. And it
seems like he gets harder and harder every year, but
he stayed healthy.
Speaker 6 (27:30):
Uh Uh.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
The run day shows uh signs and that's really if
you want to you want to have big days the
way James Cook is the way some of these backs are.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
You need explosive runs.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
And you know you saw Jael Warren yesterday, but two
forty five yard touchdown runs that's nothing. What the what
the Steelers did to the Lions yesterday and those runs,
it's nothing that the Jets can't do as well with
simple toss weak side slants like you could break down
if you blocked the second level and maybe get a
wide receiver to pick off a safe safety or something.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
Uh don't. Runs are available to breeze fall.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Hey listen, fellas, Merry Christmas. Happy holidays to you in
respective families. I've really enjoyed it this year. We got
a couple more podcasts to go. A bart stopped being
a grinch though. Okay, I want you to smile. Want
you to smile, not only here but outside the building
as well. Because Baldi smiling every day. Swim with the
sharks in South Florida.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
That's because he's becuse. You're getting plenty of vitamin D
from the sun.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I know we all need a trip right now, all right,
Thanks fellows,

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
