the uncertainty of a team, like when you're a new coach, like John Harbour, like this is the stress part of the job. You know, he just had the, you know, he had the fight with the media. Oh, yeah. A little testy. Well, well, well, welcome to New York, by the way. This same Baltimore kid, but he knows that. But it's just the uncertainty and the butterflies, not knowing how your team is going to respond. And because they're going to be Sunday night, he's going to be watching all these games leading up to Sunday night's game. Yeah. And, you know, obviously the last game of the week will be the Broncos at Kansas City on Monday night, which would be a, it's going to be a Barnburner as well. But, um, yeah, I mean, just being, like, jacked up and excited, but also stressed because you don't know how your team is going to react against a team that really is pretty much stabilized than Dallas Cowboys. That's interesting. And I'm sure that will be one of his emotions, but I also think because, you know, he's been through it so many years and he has, he's, he trusts his plan that there's
a level of confidence that a guy like John Orbaugh has starting in a new place that a first time head coach wouldn't or someone who, you know, like a Rob Solo wouldn't. I think that he's got to, he believes in his system. He believes in his players. So yes, there's going to be some of those butterflies for sure just because of the circumstances, but this isn't just some coach in a new place. And no one understands this is a, this is a real coach. He's got a history who's been around, who's had success. All three phases of his teams have been successful. His defenses, his special teams. He's had one of the best kickers in the history of the league down in Baltimore. It's one of the best defenses has one of the most electric quarterbacks down there. And it almost feels like he's a trending or the team is trending that way as well. Yeah. I mean, so that's, that's a good thing now for Rob Sala and for Brian Dable. That's a whole different set of circumstances because they were inheriting horrendous team. Oh, yeah. Are really, really bad. And I think both fan bases are probably looking at this game in Tennessee. And then obviously here
with the jet fan got to win this game, got to do it because the Titans are looking at the jets as a joke. The jets are looking at the Titans as a joke. And somebody's got to win. So if it could be ugly football, but the jets desperately, I mean, this would just be, it would be so bad with the way that the schedule lays out for the jets to lose to the Tennessee Titans and Rob Sala and then lose the next three. You know, two quarterbacks that I really, really interested to see how they start their season. And I'm really worried about them because they're both young players. One has had, you know, it's had some success, but also this had some really, really bad games, especially in big games when it comes to the playoffs that CJ Stravd that in Houston. Yeah. And the other one is Kim Ward. Yeah. You know, inaccurate all over the place. He's got Brian Dable now. So hopefully Brian will be able to you know, stabilize him as an offensive coordinator and help him become a better quarterback.
But you know, I would really be worried about him. Yeah. And I think that you invest a lot of money in him. Yeah. First overall pick. Yeah. He was your guy. Now you got another coach in there. You got a second offense. He's got to learn. You remember I always tell you about that. Yeah. I mean, I, the young players. Yeah. I, I just just, is the, he had the court of the year last year to keep it a buck. We asked. Uh, he was someone that I liked. He reminded me of, of watching Steve McNair back in the day. And then, you know, obviously he gets drafted by the Tennessee Titans, which sort of fit. How could you not be worried about him? And plus the roster around him is still in flux. I mean, they were one of the worst teams in football last year. You know, they added coaches that they were all excited about, uh, and made some free agent signings. But I mean, hell, they're still a team that is rebuilding and rebuilding in a huge way. You know, I think the Jets are catching them at the right time as well. I mean, you said whatever you want about the Jets, the Jets added some very good solid young pieces, but they also added veteran presence, especially on defense. Yeah.
Yeah, they did. And they, I mean, they better win. They got to be so much better on both sides of the ball. They better win this game. I mean, I think we both picked the Jets than we both picked the Jets. We both picked the Jets. You picked the Jets. You're not picking against Frank in his first game. I mean, I'm telling you I picked the Jets. You just admitted it's fine. Just a little early. We've got four more picks. People hang around for those four more picks to bet against us. I swear there's got to be somebody who is on a yacht right now picking against us for the last nine years. You think so? Oh my God. Yeah. Somewhere in, uh, Owl of a Croatia. Just saying man, oh man, all you got to do is pick against these guys picks and then just how about how about what's going on in Atlanta? Yeah. I mean, so Cooper Rush looks like he's going to start, right? Yes. I mean, I mean, how do I mean, they're like a two a smear campaign going on. I mean, I understand that he's been bad and there's something about his personality though that people now they just hate. I don't know what it is, but
I'm wondering what Matt Ryan's thinking. He's thinking, why did I take this job? It's probably what he's thinking. Well, I mean, his job, I, I, he's involved, but he's turned over all the football stuff to football people and his general manager and Kevin's the fansky, but I'm sure he's involved. He's talking with the owner and they're going over different things. You think that he's really got no bleak injury? This is one of those things that we got to sit this guy. Yeah. Well, they're not going to make him fake an injury. You can't do that. But, um, did this again, here's a quarterback, here's a team that is that was quarterback needy in the off season. They knew that their young player Michael Penex was not going to be ready at the start of the season. So they figured they'd go out and get a guy that had a modicum of success and then back him up with another guy that has played a little bit. Yeah. And they're already on their third quarterback. It's unbelievable. And they go on the road to Pittsburgh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That team should be fired up to be seeing those Falcons come out of the tunnel. Seemed like a disaster. Well, they about is they have
some really good players, man. Yeah. They got Providence in one of the most expensive in the league. Yeah. I mean, and they have tremendous wide receivers. But, you know, I don't want to get against Cooper rushes. What? Nine and seven in his career. He's thrown for 3700 yards, 20 touchdowns. I mean, he's competent. Sure. I mean, is he drew a lot confident? I think, well, yeah, I would drew lock was with the giants. He won a game. Didn't he won that game? Did he knock them out of the draft position? Didn't that there was that against the Rams? I want to I feel like it. No, well, the jets beat the Rams was the cult. And it was drew lock. Yeah. And yeah, that was what the hell was being celebrated as like the best backup quarterback in the NFL is a top 10 backup. I would say so. I mean, you could do a hell of a lot worse than drew lock. Take them on the jets, wouldn't you? I, well, I mean, to be a backup over Cade club Nick, all you want you backup to do is go in there and not turn the ball over. Don't
fumble the snap. Don't miss handle us. Hand off. Yeah. Score points for the interceptions. Yeah. Scoring points. But what he like the Patriots had every which way to win that game. He just never turned the ball over and dream made it. If the if the turnovers were the other way, the Patriots were to won by 25 points.
