love it. And look what we're doing here. We're talking
about probably the worst thing to talk about, you know,
outside of like real life stuff, blood and loss and
(03:53):
death and things like that. Outside of that, I honestly
don't know if there's a more grim uh subject. Like
you know, sports is one of those things where you
want to, like you do it. You watch sports to
have what fun. You watch your team, your colors, and
(04:13):
you watch these big, strong men put on this helmet
that you chose to root for. Like I like the
color green, all right, I like the word jets, yeah, okay.
And so these guys they go into a locker room together,
all these big men, strong, some fast, some strong, some
(04:36):
big and slow and some you know, short and quick
and all that kind of stuff, and they collect all
these guys and they put on the same uniform green, white, black,
whatever it is for that day. But it's our colors,
and we as fans, we choose to root for it
to have fun. And the simple truth is this, there
(04:59):
is there's no fun to be had here. This is
an exercise in how much pain and disappointment can you
possibly take. We are the only we're the longest active
streak in professional North American professional sports without getting into
(05:20):
the postseason, which is the playoffs and getting a chance
at winning a championship. We haven't been there in just
even in the dance that we haven't gotten to the
postseason in fifteen years, and by the way, we're not
getting there this year. The Jets would have to do
a miraculous turnaround, which is just not happening. By the way,
(05:41):
I'm not sure if you if you've been paying attention,
but it's not happening. So and on top of that,
so we haven't done that in fifteen years. Longest active
streak in all of North American professional sports, baseball, hockey, whatever,
you know, we haven't been to to get a championship
(06:02):
since nineteen sixty nine, which the number one selling artist
of the day was the likes of Jimmy Hendricks, the Doors,
Janis Joplin, the who you know those Shananah was playing
woodstock like that kind of stuff. That's the last time
we won a championship nineteen sixty nine, seventy nine, eighty nine,
(06:27):
ninety nine, two thousand and nine, twenty nineteen. That's fifty five,
fifty six years and I am not fifty six years old,
so therefore I've never won anything. So here we go.
That team with all that stuff, amazingly, amazingly incredibly, is
(06:55):
so good, so dedicated to what their goal really is.
They're so dedicated that they have still found layers below.
We have been laying at what we thought was rock
bottom for a decade or more. And for some way,
(07:23):
this franchise, this organization finds a way, finds another crack
in the granite stone floor, a little that you can't
get a razor blade in between it. But the Jets,
sh they find a way and they bore it out
(07:45):
and we all slip down into a new layer of pain.
And it's unbelievable what we've done. So this week, guys,
we watched the New York Jets return to London to
play the Denver Broncos now the Denver Broncos. Last season
we had Aaron Rodgers. We were eight point favorites in
(08:09):
our house. We played him in MetLife last year and
not just so happened to be the game that the
Talking Jets crew, Ryan Matt O'Leary, myself, among others, right
the Jeremys, Jets, Chaos, the dom Sees of the world
and all you guys. We chose that to be our
meetup game. And we went there and it rained on
(08:31):
us from eight in the morning, eight thirty in the
morning all through our tailgate, tailgate shoe we did that.
We went all. It rained on us the entire tailgate,
the entire game, the entire day, and the Jets didn't
even score a touchdown and had an opportunity to win
(08:52):
at the end miraculously. We have a kicker named Greg
the Leg. Why because he's none for having this super
strong leg, can kick sixty yard field walls like nobody's business.
Gave us the Jets the only sixty yarder in our history.
(09:12):
He's got like, I don't know, fifty four yard or whatever,
it was, something well within his range. No problem. We
got Greg the Leg. We're gonna win it and he
misses it. And the Jets and Broncos have been on
significantly different career trajectories since that day. But here we are.
(09:33):
We go back to London. Last year in London, we
were a two and two team. We lost in London,
so we were a two and three team. That was
so bad to our owner, Woody Johnson, that he fired
the head coach right after the game, unceremoniously, without warning.
(09:53):
Just Robert Salaz. He said, we have the best roster
in our history and I don't want to blow it.
And what he does was he bumps up his defensive coordinator,
Jeff olbricked into the head coaching position. He's never done
that before. But there's no reason to not have him
(10:14):
be the head coach and the defensive coordinator at the
same time. It makes perfect sense. I mean, this is
what we do anyway. We got a quarterback coach. He's
never done that before. We had a head coach before
this group who didn't need an offensive coordinator. He didn't
need a quarterback coach. This is the shit's non stop.
It never ends. But last year when we went to London,
(10:38):
we lost our head coach on the way home, and
this year we go back and we play, interestingly enough,
one of the better games we've played. The defense finally
decided to show up, which they've been a big problem
all year. The New York Jets defense, fair fair enough,
(11:01):
they've been a huge problem. Our offense is putting up
twenty five points, thirty two points, and the defense just
can't help. And today, this week and this week against
the Broncos, the defense decides to show up, probably bolstered
by the return of Jermaine Johnson, who's a stud and
is clearly an impact player for the New York Jets,
(11:25):
and the addition of Brownlee, the new nickelback that we
got from in a trade with the Titans. Second, look,
we didn't have, dude. We were the first one to
five team to not have a takeaway in NFL history.
See another layer and brown We can't get a turnover.
All the guys, eleven defensive guys and the guys in
(11:47):
and now probably twenty defensive guys had an opportunity to
try to create a turnover. Brownley's here for two plays
and forces of fumble, and it just shows one of
the problems is our players are dog shit and they
don't know what to do and their dirt day just dude,
the stink is all over this. One guy comes, he's
(12:09):
coming from a loser organization and he's like, dude, I'll
get you a turnover. Let's work on this poop up
and it's just go. Tried our safety tried not to
land on it. We had three Jets around and one
Bronco and we almost didn't get it. It's crazy, but
we did. So let's not belabor that, you know, let's
not make that into a negative. But man, so we
(12:32):
play one of the better games and it just so
happens to coincide with arguably the worst performance by a
quarterback in Jets' history. We had a net total in
our passing game. Aaron Glenn's called it nonexistent in his
press conference, but it might even be worse than that.
(12:55):
It wasn't just non exits because it did exist. So
it's not non exist. It means it just wasn't there.
It didn't exist, But it was worse than that because
it did exist and it had a net of negative
ten yards. So the passing game, in its sixty minutes
(13:18):
of presence on the field did in fact exist and collectively,
what it added to the game was negative ten yards
and we didn't have a first down until almost the
end of the first half. So it's crazy. It's a
(13:38):
crazy thing, guys. So look, we do things. We hang out,
we talk, we look at stuff, and we decide and
we make our decisions, like whether or not to utilize

to Sleeper for hanging out with us for this video
for green Bean's Jets Pod. Guys, have you not had it?
Who's gonna lead us, who's gonna say something, who's gonna
(15:34):
do anything? I'm gonna tell you this in the postgame
press conference. First off, it was really nice the Jets
after multiple years of asking them to fix the damn
press conference audio. Multiple years of press conference audio issues,
(15:59):
not being able to hear the guys speaking all that well,
but definitely not being able to handle or to hear
the people asking the questions. We'll call them the press.
They ask questions. Oh yeah, you can't hear anything, so
all you hear? You like when you watch a Jets
press comforence? What you do? You like? You see the
person being interviewed nodding, and you hear like and then
(16:24):
they go right, well that that's why I don't through
that that way because when that happens, you got to
do this and you're like, well, what is that an
answer for? I don't understand what was the question. I
don't know what's happening. You get fifty percent of the conversation.
It's hard today. This week, when I listened to it,
it actually sounded like a real press. We had the
(16:46):
audio fixed, the jets finally fixed the audio. Isn't it great?
We're progressing? Who says that Aaron Glenn and his regime
aren't making big, bold changes around here. So about six
minutes into this press conference with Aaron Glenn, right, so
we said, you know, I gotta say that the last
(17:08):
few weeks, I've been happy with some of the questions
that the press has been and asking. Now this week,
I believe from the voice, it sounds like it might
have been a Kenizado. I could be wrong. Maybe maybe
it was Kenazero, maybe it was Coz. I don't know,
but it sounded like one of those guys. So he's
(17:29):
basically asking him, you know, what's the story with this
Justin Fields, he's playing the worst for this is an
organization of bad quarterback play. We get made fun of
constantly for years, for decades. Every time they show every
time we play Josh Allen, or they show all the
quarterbacks the Jets have had since the Bills had Josh Allen.
They do it constantly. We're an organization that doesn't know
(17:55):
how to develop a quarterback, pick a quarterback, bring in
the right place, veteran support them. We don't know how
to do any of this shit, and somehow this game
collected within this sixty minute game was some of the
(18:19):
if not the worst quarterback play in the history of
this regime of bad quarterback play. Now he didn't Justin
Fields didn't throw any interceptions, so you know, like we've
seen games with multiple pick sixes, right the Mud Bowl,
Richard Todd, the going into the opportunity to get into
(18:40):
the playoffs in twenty fifteen with Ryan Fitzpatrick throws five picks.
So we've seen worse. But this was like like the
word non existent again, they existed because it was a
net negative. But it's it's like we it's like a
game where nothing thing happened Aaron Glenn was asked like,
(19:04):
what's the story with this guy? Is he's your starting quarterback?
And Aaron Glenn got snippy and he said, like, come on,
that's a stupid question. Why are you asking a question
like that? And they weren't having it, and it's an
interesting little segment. Let's take it. Listen, Joey numbers are
not good in this game. Is he going to be
(19:25):
your quarterback next week? Or would you do? What kind
of question is that game? I mean, I think it's
a fair point.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
There's a number of guys that you know, I mean
sometimes it's this league is like this, and there are
guys that have bad games. That doesn't mean you just
bench them. Come on, you know better than that.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
The struggles have been you guys are on six though.
This isn't you know what a team that's two and
three or three and three quarterback as the back game.
It's and Justin's played a role in some of these
offense of struggles.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Everybody in that.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
So it's not just Justin because I understand where you
guys are trying to take this, but listen, there's a
number of other guys that you know, got pick their
game up. Too, So I don't want to sit up
there and pin this all.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
On Justin broadcast. The television broadcast is showing a lot
of players where Justin had not been sacked yet, the
balls in his hand and guys.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Are open from Yeah, well if.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
He's not pulling the trigger, don't you kind of owe
it to the rest of the guys on offense to
give a guy had a chance to get there potentially
to be the one to throw the ball and two ball.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I don't see that, you know, sometimes we got to
get him to operate a certain way. I mean that
happens to a lot of guys. You just can't sit
there and say, oh, man, we're gonna bench him because
this I thought some other games he's played well, so
I'm not looking at this as just man, he played
the bad game, I'm gonna bench him.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I don't see it that way. So Aaron Glenn really did.
He went to bat for Justin fields, which, like I've
said this a million times when talking about loyalty with
Joe Douglass or Robert sala of late, like you gotta
commend loyalty right like there's a it's it's it's a
there's less and less of it these days. Loyalty, staying
(20:59):
the course, all those things very positive traits until it
starts to become what's called stubbornness. Right, So you can
appreciate Aaron Glenn sticking up for defend, you know, his guys. Right,
He's standing out front, which is what you want a
leader to do. That's what leaders do. They stand out
front and they weather the storm for the people behind them,
(21:22):
and they defend. He could be going back to rip
Justin Field's a new ass, he could be going to
do that, but out front, he's defending his guys. Right.
You don't throw anybody under the bus, that kind of thing.
It's great to a degree. But the question he says,
what kind of question is that? And the guy says, well,
I think it's a fair question. Man. You're you know
(21:43):
this is bad. He's got a big part in this.
And he says, well, a lot of people have a partner.
He's the quarterback and he has a very very big
part in it. Like the offensive line, we're looking at
the offensive line like they're terrible. Now, they're not perfect,
and Olu had a particularly bad day, But when you
look at just Seal, I got nine sacks. This offensive
(22:04):
line sucks. Not the case. Not the case. Most of
those sacks were after three three and a half seconds
in the pocket. That was pretty clean. You know he
has the time. And then even when there is pressure,
like there's there's guys right in front of him. Stump
it off to your running back. You have the outlets.
It's baked into the play man. So there's all that.
(22:27):
And then Connor Hughes steps in afterwards with a follow up,
and he asks the most important thing of all, which
is this is what we've been We saw it with Zach.
It was was crazy with Zach. At what point, I
know you want to defend the guy. I know there's
more to it than just him, of course, But at
(22:48):
what point when he's holding the balls too long, he's
taken the sacks. There are guys open right in front
of him, He's not seeing them. He's making the wrong
choice on urpos. He's keeping it when he shouldn't, he's
handing it off when he shouldn't. He's he's all over
the place. And this isn't a one game anomaly. This
is what it's been all year. You're zero and six,
(23:10):
You're the worst team in the NFL. Your quarterback just
threw for fucking negative ten Your offense has a negative
ten yards passing. At what point do you start thinking
about the other guys on the team. And he asked
it in such a way, isn't it a lack of
respect for them? And you saw some of the derivatives
(23:31):
of that now. I think Garrett Wilson when he was
arguing when Aaron Glenn walking off for the you know,
the first half, I guess he'll say it was yelling
at Aaron. I don't see him yelling at you. Rarely
yell at a guy with your hand on his shoulder,
like you know, drapeed'll cross his back. You're not yelling
at him. That's not a posture. Those things they conflict.
You don't put your arm around somebody and go, hey, motherfucker,
(23:54):
that's not what. It's more like passionately expressing your point,
which just might disagree with his stance. That's fine, but
they're not yelling at each other. Evidenced by the posture, right,
there's a lot of you know, cues, nonverbal cues. You
could pick up on what's going on by the nonverbals. Man,
and like we're so ridiculous. You see somebody's mouth going, oh,
(24:17):
you must be doing this. Well, look at everything else
around it, you know what I mean, Let's see what
we think. I don't know what was said. I wasn't there.
I can't say definitively one way or the other. But again,
that's what it looks like to my eyes. But he's
complaining about the play calling, which is the other part
of this whole thing. It's like, why when are we
gonna utilize justin field strengths? It looked like week one
(24:38):
we were doing that, and we did it a little
bit in the Tampa game, or not Tampa, not Buffalo.
The third game, what was it, I don't whatever. I
saw another game where it looked like they might be
kind of trying to utilize his strengths. Justin Field needs
to move. He's not a pocket quarterback. Five seven step
drops all day. Not the it's not the thing to do.
(25:01):
It's not gonna work with him, right, And what is
the defense doing? They're just taking brise out of it,
that's what they're doing there. They got everybody up front,
they got nine in the box, and they're run blitzing
and everything, and they're daring justin fields to beat you.
And what do we do? We play right into it
and just five seven step drops long developing plays like craziness.
(25:24):
So that's a part of it too. But again, when
you look at that, there are guys open, there is
time being provided by by the offensive line. Justin fields
can't do it. So here's the problem. Here's I'm just
gonna simplify everything for you. This is my astute observation.
(25:45):
You ready, justin fields can't do it. Justin fields does
not have the football IQ to process the things needed
to be processed in the real time game situation to
be a success. It's that simple. He does not have
(26:09):
the ability to connect all the dots in real time
to be a success, which is why he's been up
to this point. We're trying to beat this out of
him for some reason. A one read quarterback, A one
read and run. That's what he did in college, that's
what he did in Chicago. One read maybe two at best,
and take off. That's what he does. And we're trying
(26:32):
to make him not do that. And he can't do it.
He's not smart enough football IQ wise to do it.
Another word would be he's football stupid. He can't be.
He can't be is guys. If you want some evidence
to this, the Jets knew about this. They knew about
this deficiency. Why how do I know this? Well, it's
(26:54):
quite simple. Remember in training camp they were doing that
whole virtual thing with him, the face mask, the virtual
fucking screen, and they were playing. They were making them
practice in one point five speed time. Why what was
their reasoning for doing this? Well, if you remember, it
was so when he takes the headphones off, when he
(27:17):
takes the mask off, the game would slow down for him.
Wired Now, I think it could be good anyway. Anybody
could use that, but him in particular. It was the
first thing that they did. Why. Because they know that
that's an established and defined weakness for this man. If
that's the problem, it's never gonna work. Other teams know
(27:37):
that they're gonna make the environment that way for him.
They're gonna make it as fast paced and crazy as
they can. They're not gonna settle back. They're gonna make
him beat them, and he can't do it. Not to
say he won't have a game here or there where
he settles in and looks good and all that. Dude,
the guy's got physical talents through the roof right, physical
(28:02):
talents through the roof galore. He can't do it. And
that's the problem. Now, there are some decisions that's justin fields.
We're not gonna win with them. It's just that's it.
But it's good. We talked about it in a million times.
I'm not gonna beat it up and do the thing here,
but we took a flyer on a guy. It was
the best decision to make last year. If you weren't
(28:23):
gonna keep Aaron Rodgers, fine, I get it. You're a rookie,
You're you're not settled in yet. You and your offensive coordinator,
Aaron Rodgers is too big to have in the house.
I totally get it, okay, which is why you don't
hire a rookie with all that aside. I get it.
Once they're hired, I get the decision. If you were
gonna do that, justin Fields was about the best option
(28:44):
that you were gonna take because it's a bridge. It's
a bridge quarterback while with a potential to catch lightning
in a bottle ten percent chance and it didn't work.
It's not gonna work, and that's that. That's fine. But
now let's talk about some of the stuff that we're
seeing here with the coaching staff. One particular, one scenario,
(29:06):
one little series, really highlights something that's pretty concerning that
I'd like to talk about, and we'll do that in
the intelligent gride. Well, all right, here we are on
the other side of that thing. And now we're in
the intelligent gride. We are now within it. Now, let's
talk about the most uncelebrated successful fake punt in the
(29:30):
history of New York Jets football. Can we talk about that,
because that happened this week. It was fourth down, the
Jets were coming to the end of the half. The
Jets decided to go for it. No, no, they decided
to punt, and then they chose to fake punt. And
it was by the way, all right, I'm gonna do
(29:52):
the whole thing here. So the fake punt. I love it.
I love aggressive football. I love when you can time
it right and take advantage of a situation and and like,
you know, flip the energy. That's what that's what it does.
It's a momentum shifter. Oh they stopped you on third. Fuck,
you know, they're gonna get the ball back. They're all
(30:14):
they're all getting ready, the offense putting their helmets on,
and it's this whole thing. And then you stab them
in the gut with a knife they didn't know you
had in your boot. They disarmed you, and you go yeah,
and you sneak that little knife in their gut and
it flips the whole thing energetically, and he goes, yeah,
now we're psyched. Our offense comes running back their defense.
(30:35):
Holy shit, we thought we were getting off. They were
just kicking back, you know, fixing their sneakers and whatever,
and they got to put the helmet back on and run.
It's a whole thing. When we did it, it was like, eh.
But here's the problem with the fake punt in general.
Isaiah Davis is the up man on our on our
fake on our punts. Okay, he's a he's a he's
(30:56):
a good he's our third running back. Now catapulta into
the running back too because Braylen Allen is injured, right, fine,
but he's the upman. The reason that they do that,
the reason that they have a competent guy as an
upman is number one. Because he's a running back and
he's used to blocking guys rum you know, running in
free so that's that. So he's got that skill set already.
(31:16):
But number two, in the event you wanna do a
little switch to Rooney, the regular team that's on the
field for these is competent enough to take care of it.
You don't have to pretend, and you don't have to
make something obvious like hey, you don't have to telegraph
it like we now have to do with on side kick.
(31:38):
You gotta telegraph it. You gotta tell him, you gotta say, hey, everybody,
we're gonna try to come back now. So this play,
we would normally have to kick it to you down there.
We're gonna try to trick you and kick it here
because after ten yards it's live and we're gonna try
to steal the ball back. We have to tell him that,
(32:01):
which is just so stupid. They got to figure out
a solution to that because it's dumb. We tried it
at least twice and it hasn't worked, and I don't
see it working. I don't see it working at all ever.
So whatever, So what do the Jets do. We have
a competent up man in Isaiah Davis, that's who our
guy is. They bring in Breese Hall to be the upman,
(32:22):
you want to talk about telegraphing, let's put briefs in there.
Make sure we get it. Dude, Now they know that
you're gonna do it now. It was such a short
little distance that we ended up getting it right. We
ended up getting it, So I'm not gonna beat that
up too much. But still a lot of the time
that's gonna blow up your whole chance. And it's stupid
(32:44):
because and now you're giving him the ball in your
own territory and all this sort of stuff. You gotta
do everything you can to catch the enemy off guard,
to catch the other team. You can't give anything. You give, right,
it's a game of inches. And second, you can't give
anything because it'll be exploited to your detriment and you're
(33:05):
gonna pay for it. So we got lucky there and
we give it. We put Reese on, we go for
the fake punt, and we get it great. And it
was just felt like, man, because our offense was shit
and we weren't doing anything, and it was just like
it's weird, like we just went okay, like nothing exciting
(33:25):
about it, which is the weirdest thing I've seen in
a long time. Fake punts are exciting and this one nothing.
It was dry, drab, mellow, so great. We got the
big energy flip. We're on our own thirty seven yard line,
very dangerous, so it was very good that we made it.
(33:46):
We make it. No hoopla know nothing. Now whatever, there's
a minute and change left in the first half. We're
on our own thirty sevenis yard line. Now we want
to try to get down there to score some points.
It's a ten to six game at this point, I think,
so we want to get into field goal range at
(34:09):
least and get the field goal you can get. Make
it a ten to nine thing, you know what I mean.
You want to get points for the half. We look
so confused that we let so much clock go that
last play of the half. We didn't make a decision
to just be conservative and let the time run out.
(34:29):
I would disagree with that, but if you chose to
do it, fine. Hey we're a little bit off right now.
I don't want to take any chances like we did
throwing the pick six against Tampa and all that shit.
I just want to keep it cool. But remember we
did throw a pick six. We were trying to get
some points before the half. Tyrod Taylor threw a pick
(34:50):
six with almost no time left in the first half,
and that ended up being the difference in the game.
So Aaron Glen, dude, they look confused. They're talking. There's
like eight seconds left and they're having conversations justin fields
and Eron Glenn, blah blah blah. Everybody's running around. Nobody
knows what the fuck is happening, and we just let
we don't even try, no hail Mary the thirty five
(35:13):
seconds before that, not trying to get aggressively into field
goal range. Nothing. They just look confused, discombobulated, and they
end up letting the clock run out of the first
half because, you know whatever, because we don't know what
to do. Right again, if they made the decision, I
(35:36):
would disagree, but I get it. We're just gonna we
get the ball in the third quarter. We're just gonna
let well enough be well enough. It's ten to six, Fine,
we don't want to take any chances. All right, great,
But that's not what they did. They danced around and
they didn't know if they were gonna go or if
they were gonna do. They didn't know, and it was
evident all over them. The team didn't know what was
(35:58):
going on. That's a terrible look, terrible right. It's indicative
of what a lot of people are afraid of, which
is that Aaron Glenn is in over his head and
he's just lost, right, He's lost in the sauce. It's
just this is too big for him. That's the concern.
This would paint the picture that he is or this
(36:19):
supports that logic. But here's what's worse. Okay, here's what
my problem is with it. That's a problem I'm with it.
In the presser, they asked him about that, what the
fuck was going on there? And he said, I just
wanted to make sure that they didn't get the ball
(36:40):
back with any time left in the first half. That
was the whole thing. So I didn't care the fake punt.
I didn't have any purpose. I just wanted to make
sure I didn't give them the ball back. There was
a minute and forty seconds. I couldn't do it. Why, Well,
I just mentioned to pick six in Tampa that was
(37:03):
right before the half, and we lost the game because
of that. Last week against the Dallas Cowboys, what happened
with forty seconds left, whatever it was, they ran a play,
they were just running out the clock. Dallas was before
the half, and they ran up the middle, which should
(37:25):
have been a three yard game for sixty six yards
and a touchdown. All right, So a simple little play, Dallas,
just I don't know, we're gonna run out the clock.
We'll run some plays. See what happens. What happened was boom,
a sixty six yard touchdown to cap to half, right
(37:47):
after they scored before that. Remember, so Aaron Glenn said,
all I know is that I didn't want to give
them the ball with any time left in the half. Now,
what does that? What is he saying? He doesn't know
he's saying it, but I know he's saying it. And
this is a huge problem, especially this early in his tenure.
(38:12):
Now again, I've said it a bunch. I'm okay. I
didn't want to hire a rookie head coach. I love
Aaron Glenn as a player, as a man, as a coach,
all that. I love Aaron Glenn. Okay, he's one of
my faves. But I didn't want to hire him. Why
Because I didn't want yet another rookie defensive head coach
who's gonna bring with him a defense of a rookie
(38:35):
general manager and a rookie offensive coordinator and then the
one vet is fucking journeyman Steve Wilkes, who obviously sucks
the balls. All that kind of stuff. Last three jobs
were one year head coach, one year interim coach, one
year you know what I mean. Everybody who brings him
in like he's not good enough and they get rid
of him, and now here he is. So what we
(38:58):
did was we chose to go that route anyway. So
once you go that route, you gotta go, Okay, Well,
here's the pros and here's the cons. One of the
groups in the group of cons is the guy's not
gonna know what the fuck he's doing. He's gonna make mistakes,
he's gonna have to learn, he's gonna have to evaluate,
and he's gonna think this guy's good and then find
(39:19):
out he's not. And he's gonna make decisions that a
year later he would he wouldn't do again. All that
kind of stuff. He's learning on the job, which is aggravating,
and it's what we've been doing for twenty something years,
but it is what it is. This is different. This
is him saying, I my fear of what could happen
(39:44):
superseded anything else, any any of my decisions, any of
that stuff. My fear of what could happen trumped any
other thoughts I had about what to do in that situation.
He wasn't thinking forward. He wasn't thinking about how to score,
or what the best should I play for the field goal?
(40:05):
I have enough time? Should I do my two minute
offense to try to get in the end zone. He
wasn't thinking like that. All he was thinking was I
can't give them the ball back with this much time,
because it's burned me in the past numerous times this
season already we went into the half on the heels
(40:27):
of a spontaneous and unexpected score. The two examples I
gave you out front, just as recently as last week,
he is what we call traumatized. That is a trauma response.
I don't know what to do. I don't know what
the pros and cons and benefits are of that. I
(40:49):
just know I can't do this. I just you know,
we just can't. No fake punt it. I don't care. Okay,
we got the fake punt. Great, that gives me four plays.
We just will take the clock down as much as
we can but coach, we got the fifty to fifty seconds. Coach,
what's going on? Everybody calm down. As long as they
don't get the ball. How much time is still left
(41:11):
on the clock. Okay, good run a play and then
let's see. He's not trying to do anything forward. He's stuck.
And if that's happening now, that is a bad, bad sign. Guys,
It's bad. I'm just telling you. It's a trauma response.
(41:33):
And you wouldn't think that being the head coach of
the New York Jets for a few weeks a month
and a half could do that to you, but it did,
and it does. That's what happened. He said it in
his press conference, and I'm not you know, it aggravates
me when people look so did they slow it down
(41:54):
in slow motion? Go look at his finger. His finger
being over here says bad. He was running in his
fucking was facing this. I hate all that stuff, right,
I do. I hate it. I'm an old school guy.
I'm a caveman. I like guys like Skataboo because he's
a football player. And the reason that he's such a
big rage right now is because everybody, even though you
don't know it. He plays the game of football the
(42:16):
way the game of football is supposed to be played,
and we love it because that's why we're actually here.
We forgot in all these fucking NFL rules about taunting
and hurting and laid hits and blocking somebody when they're
not looking, and all this stuff. We got lost in
the sauce. Somebody like Skataboo comes out, runs three dudes
(42:36):
over and goes whooa, and we love it. I'm telling you,
I don't like to look that deep as everybody else
with their microscopes. This is a problem. It's a big problem.
And it's like when a quarterback gets happy feet, you know,
like when a quarterback Sam Donold ghosts remember, and guys
(42:58):
like myself said, dude, that kid needs to sit for
a year. He needs to pull back. We said the
same thing with Zach Wilson when Aaron Rodgers came here
and four plays in he ends up fifth. To five
plays he ends up being the starting quarterback again. He
wasn't ready for it, and I knew it was doomed
to failure from the second it happened, like so many
of you did. But Sam Darnold needed a year to sit.
(43:21):
He didn't get it. In Carolina. He started for two years,
incredible failures. He went to the Niners, sat for a year,
played a little bit of you know, kind of second
string football. Came in, a couple plays here or there, whatever,
but by and large he sat for that year in
Shanahan's offense. What happened the next year? He goes to
(43:42):
Vikings fifteen and two. Now he's got a big contract.
He's throwing fucking bombs to Jackson Smith and Jigba in Seattle.
You know what I mean, That's what happens when a
quarterback gets happy feet. They basically said, dude, if he
doesn't get a chance to sit, it's gonna get worse.
It doesn't get better by playing. Once you get there,
(44:06):
that oh my god, like phantom pressure. It's called when
you're feeling phantom pressure, you're doomed. Aaron Glenn felt phantom
pressure today from a head coaching position. He felt it.
He was a prisoner to it, and he couldn't get
out of it. And we saw it on the field.
(44:28):
We looked lost and he didn't even care. He couldn't care.
I'm not saying he's like an Adam Gaze he didn't care.
He's on the bench while the dame's being played, right
and in a fucking notebook. I'm not very different. I'm
not saying that. It's not that he didn't care because
he didn't want to care, because he didn't give a shit.
He only he cared very much about one thing, and
(44:50):
one thing only, and that's we can't give them the
ball with any time on the clock. They're gonna score.
That's all I care about, and we look like complete
buffoons as a result. It's bad. We gotta pay attention
to this. We gotta keep our eyes on this. I
don't know where it's gonna go from here, I really don't.
(45:11):
Who do we got next week? Carolina? Shit? They beat Uh?
They beat Dallas today, didn't they? Jesus Christmas. I don't
know everybody we'll see. But that's the intelligent gripe. And uh, hey,

love it. And look what we're doing here. We're talking
about probably the worst thing to talk about, you know,
outside of like real life stuff, blood and loss and
(03:53):
death and things like that. Outside of that, I honestly
don't know if there's a more grim uh subject. Like
you know, sports is one of those things where you
want to, like you do it. You watch sports to
have what fun. You watch your team, your colors, and
(04:13):
you watch these big, strong men put on this helmet
that you chose to root for. Like I like the
color green, all right, I like the word jets, yeah, okay.
And so these guys they go into a locker room together,
all these big men, strong, some fast, some strong, some
(04:36):
big and slow and some you know, short and quick
and all that kind of stuff, and they collect all
these guys and they put on the same uniform green, white, black,
whatever it is for that day. But it's our colors,
and we as fans, we choose to root for it
to have fun. And the simple truth is this, there
(04:59):
is there's no fun to be had here. This is
an exercise in how much pain and disappointment can you
possibly take. We are the only we're the longest active
streak in professional North American professional sports without getting into
(05:20):
the postseason, which is the playoffs and getting a chance
at winning a championship. We haven't been there in just
even in the dance that we haven't gotten to the
postseason in fifteen years, and by the way, we're not
getting there this year. The Jets would have to do
a miraculous turnaround, which is just not happening. By the way,
(05:41):
I'm not sure if you if you've been paying attention,
but it's not happening. So and on top of that,
so we haven't done that in fifteen years. Longest active
streak in all of North American professional sports, baseball, hockey, whatever,
you know, we haven't been to to get a championship
(06:02):
since nineteen sixty nine, which the number one selling artist
of the day was the likes of Jimmy Hendricks, the Doors,
Janis Joplin, the who you know those Shananah was playing
woodstock like that kind of stuff. That's the last time
we won a championship nineteen sixty nine, seventy nine, eighty nine,
(06:27):
ninety nine, two thousand and nine, twenty nineteen. That's fifty five,
fifty six years and I am not fifty six years old,
so therefore I've never won anything. So here we go.
That team with all that stuff, amazingly, amazingly incredibly, is
(06:55):
so good, so dedicated to what their goal really is.
They're so dedicated that they have still found layers below.
We have been laying at what we thought was rock
bottom for a decade or more. And for some way,
(07:23):
this franchise, this organization finds a way, finds another crack
in the granite stone floor, a little that you can't
get a razor blade in between it. But the Jets,
sh they find a way and they bore it out
(07:45):
and we all slip down into a new layer of pain.
And it's unbelievable what we've done. So this week, guys,
we watched the New York Jets return to London to
play the Denver Broncos now the Denver Broncos. Last season
we had Aaron Rodgers. We were eight point favorites in
(08:09):
our house. We played him in MetLife last year and
not just so happened to be the game that the
Talking Jets crew, Ryan Matt O'Leary, myself, among others, right
the Jeremys, Jets, Chaos, the dom Sees of the world
and all you guys. We chose that to be our
meetup game. And we went there and it rained on
(08:31):
us from eight in the morning, eight thirty in the
morning all through our tailgate, tailgate shoe we did that.
We went all. It rained on us the entire tailgate,
the entire game, the entire day, and the Jets didn't
even score a touchdown and had an opportunity to win
(08:52):
at the end miraculously. We have a kicker named Greg
the Leg. Why because he's none for having this super
strong leg, can kick sixty yard field walls like nobody's business.
Gave us the Jets the only sixty yarder in our history.
(09:12):
He's got like, I don't know, fifty four yard or whatever,
it was, something well within his range. No problem. We
got Greg the Leg. We're gonna win it and he
misses it. And the Jets and Broncos have been on
significantly different career trajectories since that day. But here we are.
(09:33):
We go back to London. Last year in London, we
were a two and two team. We lost in London,
so we were a two and three team. That was
so bad to our owner, Woody Johnson, that he fired
the head coach right after the game, unceremoniously, without warning.
(09:53):
Just Robert Salaz. He said, we have the best roster
in our history and I don't want to blow it.
And what he does was he bumps up his defensive coordinator,
Jeff olbricked into the head coaching position. He's never done
that before. But there's no reason to not have him
(10:14):
be the head coach and the defensive coordinator at the
same time. It makes perfect sense. I mean, this is
what we do anyway. We got a quarterback coach. He's
never done that before. We had a head coach before
this group who didn't need an offensive coordinator. He didn't
need a quarterback coach. This is the shit's non stop.
It never ends. But last year when we went to London,
(10:38):
we lost our head coach on the way home, and
this year we go back and we play, interestingly enough,
one of the better games we've played. The defense finally
decided to show up, which they've been a big problem
all year. The New York Jets defense, fair fair enough,
(11:01):
they've been a huge problem. Our offense is putting up
twenty five points, thirty two points, and the defense just
can't help. And today, this week and this week against
the Broncos, the defense decides to show up, probably bolstered
by the return of Jermaine Johnson, who's a stud and
is clearly an impact player for the New York Jets,
(11:25):
and the addition of Brownlee, the new nickelback that we
got from in a trade with the Titans. Second, look,
we didn't have, dude. We were the first one to
five team to not have a takeaway in NFL history.
See another layer and brown We can't get a turnover.
All the guys, eleven defensive guys and the guys in
(11:47):
and now probably twenty defensive guys had an opportunity to
try to create a turnover. Brownley's here for two plays
and forces of fumble, and it just shows one of
the problems is our players are dog shit and they
don't know what to do and their dirt day just dude,
the stink is all over this. One guy comes, he's
(12:09):
coming from a loser organization and he's like, dude, I'll
get you a turnover. Let's work on this poop up
and it's just go. Tried our safety tried not to
land on it. We had three Jets around and one
Bronco and we almost didn't get it. It's crazy, but
we did. So let's not belabor that, you know, let's
not make that into a negative. But man, so we
(12:32):
play one of the better games and it just so
happens to coincide with arguably the worst performance by a
quarterback in Jets' history. We had a net total in
our passing game. Aaron Glenn's called it nonexistent in his
press conference, but it might even be worse than that.
(12:55):
It wasn't just non exits because it did exist. So
it's not non exist. It means it just wasn't there.
It didn't exist, But it was worse than that because
it did exist and it had a net of negative
ten yards. So the passing game, in its sixty minutes
(13:18):
of presence on the field did in fact exist and collectively,
what it added to the game was negative ten yards
and we didn't have a first down until almost the
end of the first half. So it's crazy. It's a
(13:38):
crazy thing, guys. So look, we do things. We hang out,
we talk, we look at stuff, and we decide and
we make our decisions, like whether or not to utilize

to Sleeper for hanging out with us for this video
for green Bean's Jets Pod. Guys, have you not had it?
Who's gonna lead us, who's gonna say something, who's gonna
(15:34):
do anything? I'm gonna tell you this in the postgame
press conference. First off, it was really nice the Jets
after multiple years of asking them to fix the damn
press conference audio. Multiple years of press conference audio issues,
(15:59):
not being able to hear the guys speaking all that well,
but definitely not being able to handle or to hear
the people asking the questions. We'll call them the press.
They ask questions. Oh yeah, you can't hear anything, so
all you hear? You like when you watch a Jets
press comforence? What you do? You like? You see the
person being interviewed nodding, and you hear like and then
(16:24):
they go right, well that that's why I don't through
that that way because when that happens, you got to
do this and you're like, well, what is that an
answer for? I don't understand what was the question. I
don't know what's happening. You get fifty percent of the conversation.
It's hard today. This week, when I listened to it,
it actually sounded like a real press. We had the
(16:46):
audio fixed, the jets finally fixed the audio. Isn't it great?
We're progressing? Who says that Aaron Glenn and his regime
aren't making big, bold changes around here. So about six
minutes into this press conference with Aaron Glenn, right, so
we said, you know, I gotta say that the last
(17:08):
few weeks, I've been happy with some of the questions
that the press has been and asking. Now this week,
I believe from the voice, it sounds like it might
have been a Kenizado. I could be wrong. Maybe maybe
it was Kenazero, maybe it was Coz. I don't know,
but it sounded like one of those guys. So he's
(17:29):
basically asking him, you know, what's the story with this
Justin Fields, he's playing the worst for this is an
organization of bad quarterback play. We get made fun of
constantly for years, for decades. Every time they show every
time we play Josh Allen, or they show all the
quarterbacks the Jets have had since the Bills had Josh Allen.
They do it constantly. We're an organization that doesn't know
(17:55):
how to develop a quarterback, pick a quarterback, bring in
the right place, veteran support them. We don't know how
to do any of this shit, and somehow this game
collected within this sixty minute game was some of the
(18:19):
if not the worst quarterback play in the history of
this regime of bad quarterback play. Now he didn't Justin
Fields didn't throw any interceptions, so you know, like we've
seen games with multiple pick sixes, right the Mud Bowl,
Richard Todd, the going into the opportunity to get into
(18:40):
the playoffs in twenty fifteen with Ryan Fitzpatrick throws five picks.
So we've seen worse. But this was like like the
word non existent again, they existed because it was a
net negative. But it's it's like we it's like a
game where nothing thing happened Aaron Glenn was asked like,
(19:04):
what's the story with this guy? Is he's your starting quarterback?
And Aaron Glenn got snippy and he said, like, come on,
that's a stupid question. Why are you asking a question
like that? And they weren't having it, and it's an
interesting little segment. Let's take it. Listen, Joey numbers are
not good in this game. Is he going to be
(19:25):
your quarterback next week? Or would you do? What kind
of question is that game? I mean, I think it's
a fair point.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
There's a number of guys that you know, I mean
sometimes it's this league is like this, and there are
guys that have bad games. That doesn't mean you just
bench them. Come on, you know better than that.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
The struggles have been you guys are on six though.
This isn't you know what a team that's two and
three or three and three quarterback as the back game.
It's and Justin's played a role in some of these
offense of struggles.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Everybody in that.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
So it's not just Justin because I understand where you
guys are trying to take this, but listen, there's a
number of other guys that you know, got pick their
game up. Too, So I don't want to sit up
there and pin this all.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
On Justin broadcast. The television broadcast is showing a lot
of players where Justin had not been sacked yet, the
balls in his hand and guys.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Are open from Yeah, well if.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
He's not pulling the trigger, don't you kind of owe
it to the rest of the guys on offense to
give a guy had a chance to get there potentially
to be the one to throw the ball and two ball.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I don't see that, you know, sometimes we got to
get him to operate a certain way. I mean that
happens to a lot of guys. You just can't sit
there and say, oh, man, we're gonna bench him because
this I thought some other games he's played well, so
I'm not looking at this as just man, he played
the bad game, I'm gonna bench him.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I don't see it that way. So Aaron Glenn really did.
He went to bat for Justin fields, which, like I've
said this a million times when talking about loyalty with
Joe Douglass or Robert sala of late, like you gotta
commend loyalty right like there's a it's it's it's a
there's less and less of it these days. Loyalty, staying
(20:59):
the course, all those things very positive traits until it
starts to become what's called stubbornness. Right, So you can
appreciate Aaron Glenn sticking up for defend, you know, his guys. Right,
He's standing out front, which is what you want a
leader to do. That's what leaders do. They stand out
front and they weather the storm for the people behind them,
(21:22):
and they defend. He could be going back to rip
Justin Field's a new ass, he could be going to
do that, but out front, he's defending his guys. Right.
You don't throw anybody under the bus, that kind of thing.
It's great to a degree. But the question he says,
what kind of question is that? And the guy says, well,
I think it's a fair question. Man. You're you know
(21:43):
this is bad. He's got a big part in this.
And he says, well, a lot of people have a partner.
He's the quarterback and he has a very very big
part in it. Like the offensive line, we're looking at
the offensive line like they're terrible. Now, they're not perfect,
and Olu had a particularly bad day, But when you
look at just Seal, I got nine sacks. This offensive
(22:04):
line sucks. Not the case. Not the case. Most of
those sacks were after three three and a half seconds
in the pocket. That was pretty clean. You know he
has the time. And then even when there is pressure,
like there's there's guys right in front of him. Stump
it off to your running back. You have the outlets.
It's baked into the play man. So there's all that.
(22:27):
And then Connor Hughes steps in afterwards with a follow up,
and he asks the most important thing of all, which
is this is what we've been We saw it with Zach.
It was was crazy with Zach. At what point, I
know you want to defend the guy. I know there's
more to it than just him, of course, But at
(22:48):
what point when he's holding the balls too long, he's
taken the sacks. There are guys open right in front
of him, He's not seeing them. He's making the wrong
choice on urpos. He's keeping it when he shouldn't, he's
handing it off when he shouldn't. He's he's all over
the place. And this isn't a one game anomaly. This
is what it's been all year. You're zero and six,
(23:10):
You're the worst team in the NFL. Your quarterback just
threw for fucking negative ten Your offense has a negative
ten yards passing. At what point do you start thinking
about the other guys on the team. And he asked
it in such a way, isn't it a lack of
respect for them? And you saw some of the derivatives
(23:31):
of that now. I think Garrett Wilson when he was
arguing when Aaron Glenn walking off for the you know,
the first half, I guess he'll say it was yelling
at Aaron. I don't see him yelling at you. Rarely
yell at a guy with your hand on his shoulder,
like you know, drapeed'll cross his back. You're not yelling
at him. That's not a posture. Those things they conflict.
You don't put your arm around somebody and go, hey, motherfucker,
(23:54):
that's not what. It's more like passionately expressing your point,
which just might disagree with his stance. That's fine, but
they're not yelling at each other. Evidenced by the posture, right,
there's a lot of you know, cues, nonverbal cues. You
could pick up on what's going on by the nonverbals. Man,
and like we're so ridiculous. You see somebody's mouth going, oh,
(24:17):
you must be doing this. Well, look at everything else
around it, you know what I mean, Let's see what
we think. I don't know what was said. I wasn't there.
I can't say definitively one way or the other. But again,
that's what it looks like to my eyes. But he's
complaining about the play calling, which is the other part
of this whole thing. It's like, why when are we
gonna utilize justin field strengths? It looked like week one
(24:38):
we were doing that, and we did it a little
bit in the Tampa game, or not Tampa, not Buffalo.
The third game, what was it, I don't whatever. I
saw another game where it looked like they might be
kind of trying to utilize his strengths. Justin Field needs
to move. He's not a pocket quarterback. Five seven step
drops all day. Not the it's not the thing to do.
(25:01):
It's not gonna work with him, right, And what is
the defense doing? They're just taking brise out of it,
that's what they're doing there. They got everybody up front,
they got nine in the box, and they're run blitzing
and everything, and they're daring justin fields to beat you.
And what do we do? We play right into it
and just five seven step drops long developing plays like craziness.
(25:24):
So that's a part of it too. But again, when
you look at that, there are guys open, there is
time being provided by by the offensive line. Justin fields
can't do it. So here's the problem. Here's I'm just
gonna simplify everything for you. This is my astute observation.
(25:45):
You ready, justin fields can't do it. Justin fields does
not have the football IQ to process the things needed
to be processed in the real time game situation to
be a success. It's that simple. He does not have
(26:09):
the ability to connect all the dots in real time
to be a success, which is why he's been up
to this point. We're trying to beat this out of
him for some reason. A one read quarterback, A one
read and run. That's what he did in college, that's
what he did in Chicago. One read maybe two at best,
and take off. That's what he does. And we're trying
(26:32):
to make him not do that. And he can't do it.
He's not smart enough football IQ wise to do it.
Another word would be he's football stupid. He can't be.
He can't be is guys. If you want some evidence
to this, the Jets knew about this. They knew about
this deficiency. Why how do I know this? Well, it's
(26:54):
quite simple. Remember in training camp they were doing that
whole virtual thing with him, the face mask, the virtual
fucking screen, and they were playing. They were making them
practice in one point five speed time. Why what was
their reasoning for doing this? Well, if you remember, it
was so when he takes the headphones off, when he
(27:17):
takes the mask off, the game would slow down for him.
Wired Now, I think it could be good anyway. Anybody
could use that, but him in particular. It was the
first thing that they did. Why. Because they know that
that's an established and defined weakness for this man. If
that's the problem, it's never gonna work. Other teams know
(27:37):
that they're gonna make the environment that way for him.
They're gonna make it as fast paced and crazy as
they can. They're not gonna settle back. They're gonna make
him beat them, and he can't do it. Not to
say he won't have a game here or there where
he settles in and looks good and all that. Dude,
the guy's got physical talents through the roof right, physical
(28:02):
talents through the roof galore. He can't do it. And
that's the problem. Now, there are some decisions that's justin fields.
We're not gonna win with them. It's just that's it.
But it's good. We talked about it in a million times.
I'm not gonna beat it up and do the thing here,
but we took a flyer on a guy. It was
the best decision to make last year. If you weren't
(28:23):
gonna keep Aaron Rodgers, fine, I get it. You're a rookie,
You're you're not settled in yet. You and your offensive coordinator,
Aaron Rodgers is too big to have in the house.
I totally get it, okay, which is why you don't
hire a rookie with all that aside. I get it.
Once they're hired, I get the decision. If you were
gonna do that, justin Fields was about the best option
(28:44):
that you were gonna take because it's a bridge. It's
a bridge quarterback while with a potential to catch lightning
in a bottle ten percent chance and it didn't work.
It's not gonna work, and that's that. That's fine. But
now let's talk about some of the stuff that we're
seeing here with the coaching staff. One particular, one scenario,
(29:06):
one little series, really highlights something that's pretty concerning that
I'd like to talk about, and we'll do that in
the intelligent gride. Well, all right, here we are on
the other side of that thing. And now we're in
the intelligent gride. We are now within it. Now, let's
talk about the most uncelebrated successful fake punt in the
(29:30):
history of New York Jets football. Can we talk about that,
because that happened this week. It was fourth down, the
Jets were coming to the end of the half. The
Jets decided to go for it. No, no, they decided
to punt, and then they chose to fake punt. And
it was by the way, all right, I'm gonna do
(29:52):
the whole thing here. So the fake punt. I love it.
I love aggressive football. I love when you can time
it right and take advantage of a situation and and like,
you know, flip the energy. That's what that's what it does.
It's a momentum shifter. Oh they stopped you on third. Fuck,
you know, they're gonna get the ball back. They're all
(30:14):
they're all getting ready, the offense putting their helmets on,
and it's this whole thing. And then you stab them
in the gut with a knife they didn't know you
had in your boot. They disarmed you, and you go yeah,
and you sneak that little knife in their gut and
it flips the whole thing energetically, and he goes, yeah,
now we're psyched. Our offense comes running back their defense.
(30:35):
Holy shit, we thought we were getting off. They were
just kicking back, you know, fixing their sneakers and whatever,
and they got to put the helmet back on and run.
It's a whole thing. When we did it, it was like, eh.
But here's the problem with the fake punt in general.
Isaiah Davis is the up man on our on our
fake on our punts. Okay, he's a he's a he's
(30:56):
a good he's our third running back. Now catapulta into
the running back too because Braylen Allen is injured, right, fine,
but he's the upman. The reason that they do that,
the reason that they have a competent guy as an
upman is number one. Because he's a running back and
he's used to blocking guys rum you know, running in
free so that's that. So he's got that skill set already.
(31:16):
But number two, in the event you wanna do a
little switch to Rooney, the regular team that's on the
field for these is competent enough to take care of it.
You don't have to pretend, and you don't have to
make something obvious like hey, you don't have to telegraph
it like we now have to do with on side kick.
(31:38):
You gotta telegraph it. You gotta tell him, you gotta say, hey, everybody,
we're gonna try to come back now. So this play,
we would normally have to kick it to you down there.
We're gonna try to trick you and kick it here
because after ten yards it's live and we're gonna try
to steal the ball back. We have to tell him that,
(32:01):
which is just so stupid. They got to figure out
a solution to that because it's dumb. We tried it
at least twice and it hasn't worked, and I don't
see it working. I don't see it working at all ever.
So whatever, So what do the Jets do. We have
a competent up man in Isaiah Davis, that's who our
guy is. They bring in Breese Hall to be the upman,
(32:22):
you want to talk about telegraphing, let's put briefs in there.
Make sure we get it. Dude, Now they know that
you're gonna do it now. It was such a short
little distance that we ended up getting it right. We
ended up getting it, So I'm not gonna beat that
up too much. But still a lot of the time
that's gonna blow up your whole chance. And it's stupid
(32:44):
because and now you're giving him the ball in your
own territory and all this sort of stuff. You gotta
do everything you can to catch the enemy off guard,
to catch the other team. You can't give anything. You give, right,
it's a game of inches. And second, you can't give
anything because it'll be exploited to your detriment and you're
(33:05):
gonna pay for it. So we got lucky there and
we give it. We put Reese on, we go for
the fake punt, and we get it great. And it
was just felt like, man, because our offense was shit
and we weren't doing anything, and it was just like
it's weird, like we just went okay, like nothing exciting
(33:25):
about it, which is the weirdest thing I've seen in
a long time. Fake punts are exciting and this one nothing.
It was dry, drab, mellow, so great. We got the
big energy flip. We're on our own thirty seven yard line,
very dangerous, so it was very good that we made it.
(33:46):
We make it. No hoopla know nothing. Now whatever, there's
a minute and change left in the first half. We're
on our own thirty sevenis yard line. Now we want
to try to get down there to score some points.
It's a ten to six game at this point, I think,
so we want to get into field goal range at
(34:09):
least and get the field goal you can get. Make
it a ten to nine thing, you know what I mean.
You want to get points for the half. We look
so confused that we let so much clock go that
last play of the half. We didn't make a decision
to just be conservative and let the time run out.
(34:29):
I would disagree with that, but if you chose to
do it, fine. Hey we're a little bit off right now.
I don't want to take any chances like we did
throwing the pick six against Tampa and all that shit.
I just want to keep it cool. But remember we
did throw a pick six. We were trying to get
some points before the half. Tyrod Taylor threw a pick
(34:50):
six with almost no time left in the first half,
and that ended up being the difference in the game.
So Aaron Glen, dude, they look confused. They're talking. There's
like eight seconds left and they're having conversations justin fields
and Eron Glenn, blah blah blah. Everybody's running around. Nobody
knows what the fuck is happening, and we just let
we don't even try, no hail Mary the thirty five
(35:13):
seconds before that, not trying to get aggressively into field
goal range. Nothing. They just look confused, discombobulated, and they
end up letting the clock run out of the first
half because, you know whatever, because we don't know what
to do. Right again, if they made the decision, I
(35:36):
would disagree, but I get it. We're just gonna we
get the ball in the third quarter. We're just gonna
let well enough be well enough. It's ten to six, Fine,
we don't want to take any chances. All right, great,
But that's not what they did. They danced around and
they didn't know if they were gonna go or if
they were gonna do. They didn't know, and it was
evident all over them. The team didn't know what was
(35:58):
going on. That's a terrible look, terrible right. It's indicative
of what a lot of people are afraid of, which
is that Aaron Glenn is in over his head and
he's just lost, right, He's lost in the sauce. It's
just this is too big for him. That's the concern.
This would paint the picture that he is or this
(36:19):
supports that logic. But here's what's worse. Okay, here's what
my problem is with it. That's a problem I'm with it.
In the presser, they asked him about that, what the
fuck was going on there? And he said, I just
wanted to make sure that they didn't get the ball
(36:40):
back with any time left in the first half. That
was the whole thing. So I didn't care the fake punt.
I didn't have any purpose. I just wanted to make
sure I didn't give them the ball back. There was
a minute and forty seconds. I couldn't do it. Why, Well,
I just mentioned to pick six in Tampa that was
(37:03):
right before the half, and we lost the game because
of that. Last week against the Dallas Cowboys, what happened
with forty seconds left, whatever it was, they ran a play,
they were just running out the clock. Dallas was before
the half, and they ran up the middle, which should
(37:25):
have been a three yard game for sixty six yards
and a touchdown. All right, So a simple little play, Dallas,
just I don't know, we're gonna run out the clock.
We'll run some plays. See what happens. What happened was boom,
a sixty six yard touchdown to cap to half, right
(37:47):
after they scored before that. Remember, so Aaron Glenn said,
all I know is that I didn't want to give
them the ball with any time left in the half. Now,
what does that? What is he saying? He doesn't know
he's saying it, but I know he's saying it. And
this is a huge problem, especially this early in his tenure.
(38:12):
Now again, I've said it a bunch. I'm okay. I
didn't want to hire a rookie head coach. I love
Aaron Glenn as a player, as a man, as a coach,
all that. I love Aaron Glenn. Okay, he's one of
my faves. But I didn't want to hire him. Why
Because I didn't want yet another rookie defensive head coach
who's gonna bring with him a defense of a rookie
(38:35):
general manager and a rookie offensive coordinator and then the
one vet is fucking journeyman Steve Wilkes, who obviously sucks
the balls. All that kind of stuff. Last three jobs
were one year head coach, one year interim coach, one
year you know what I mean. Everybody who brings him
in like he's not good enough and they get rid
of him, and now here he is. So what we
(38:58):
did was we chose to go that route anyway. So
once you go that route, you gotta go, Okay, Well,
here's the pros and here's the cons. One of the
groups in the group of cons is the guy's not
gonna know what the fuck he's doing. He's gonna make mistakes,
he's gonna have to learn, he's gonna have to evaluate,
and he's gonna think this guy's good and then find
(39:19):
out he's not. And he's gonna make decisions that a
year later he would he wouldn't do again. All that
kind of stuff. He's learning on the job, which is aggravating,
and it's what we've been doing for twenty something years,
but it is what it is. This is different. This
is him saying, I my fear of what could happen
(39:44):
superseded anything else, any any of my decisions, any of
that stuff. My fear of what could happen trumped any
other thoughts I had about what to do in that situation.
He wasn't thinking forward. He wasn't thinking about how to score,
or what the best should I play for the field goal?
(40:05):
I have enough time? Should I do my two minute
offense to try to get in the end zone. He
wasn't thinking like that. All he was thinking was I
can't give them the ball back with this much time,
because it's burned me in the past numerous times this
season already we went into the half on the heels
(40:27):
of a spontaneous and unexpected score. The two examples I
gave you out front, just as recently as last week,
he is what we call traumatized. That is a trauma response.
I don't know what to do. I don't know what
the pros and cons and benefits are of that. I
(40:49):
just know I can't do this. I just you know,
we just can't. No fake punt it. I don't care. Okay,
we got the fake punt. Great, that gives me four plays.
We just will take the clock down as much as
we can but coach, we got the fifty to fifty seconds. Coach,
what's going on? Everybody calm down. As long as they
don't get the ball. How much time is still left
(41:11):
on the clock. Okay, good run a play and then
let's see. He's not trying to do anything forward. He's stuck.
And if that's happening now, that is a bad, bad sign. Guys,
It's bad. I'm just telling you. It's a trauma response.
(41:33):
And you wouldn't think that being the head coach of
the New York Jets for a few weeks a month
and a half could do that to you, but it did,
and it does. That's what happened. He said it in
his press conference, and I'm not you know, it aggravates
me when people look so did they slow it down
(41:54):
in slow motion? Go look at his finger. His finger
being over here says bad. He was running in his
fucking was facing this. I hate all that stuff, right,
I do. I hate it. I'm an old school guy.
I'm a caveman. I like guys like Skataboo because he's
a football player. And the reason that he's such a
big rage right now is because everybody, even though you
don't know it. He plays the game of football the
(42:16):
way the game of football is supposed to be played,
and we love it because that's why we're actually here.
We forgot in all these fucking NFL rules about taunting
and hurting and laid hits and blocking somebody when they're
not looking, and all this stuff. We got lost in
the sauce. Somebody like Skataboo comes out, runs three dudes
(42:36):
over and goes whooa, and we love it. I'm telling you,
I don't like to look that deep as everybody else
with their microscopes. This is a problem. It's a big problem.
And it's like when a quarterback gets happy feet, you know,
like when a quarterback Sam Donold ghosts remember, and guys
(42:58):
like myself said, dude, that kid needs to sit for
a year. He needs to pull back. We said the
same thing with Zach Wilson when Aaron Rodgers came here
and four plays in he ends up fifth. To five
plays he ends up being the starting quarterback again. He
wasn't ready for it, and I knew it was doomed
to failure from the second it happened, like so many
of you did. But Sam Darnold needed a year to sit.
(43:21):
He didn't get it. In Carolina. He started for two years,
incredible failures. He went to the Niners, sat for a year,
played a little bit of you know, kind of second
string football. Came in, a couple plays here or there, whatever,
but by and large he sat for that year in
Shanahan's offense. What happened the next year? He goes to
(43:42):
Vikings fifteen and two. Now he's got a big contract.
He's throwing fucking bombs to Jackson Smith and Jigba in Seattle.
You know what I mean, That's what happens when a
quarterback gets happy feet. They basically said, dude, if he
doesn't get a chance to sit, it's gonna get worse.
It doesn't get better by playing. Once you get there,
(44:06):
that oh my god, like phantom pressure. It's called when
you're feeling phantom pressure, you're doomed. Aaron Glenn felt phantom
pressure today from a head coaching position. He felt it.
He was a prisoner to it, and he couldn't get
out of it. And we saw it on the field.
(44:28):
We looked lost and he didn't even care. He couldn't care.
I'm not saying he's like an Adam Gaze he didn't care.
He's on the bench while the dame's being played, right
and in a fucking notebook. I'm not very different. I'm
not saying that. It's not that he didn't care because
he didn't want to care, because he didn't give a shit.
He only he cared very much about one thing, and
(44:50):
one thing only, and that's we can't give them the
ball with any time on the clock. They're gonna score.
That's all I care about, and we look like complete
buffoons as a result. It's bad. We gotta pay attention
to this. We gotta keep our eyes on this. I
don't know where it's gonna go from here, I really don't.
