00:00 One thing I will say is Juju has been a significant disappointment, and I think it is the knee.
00:05 Because looking, like he had a thousand yards last year.
00:08 You could say it's Patrick Holmes.
00:09 I don't care who's throwing me the ball.
00:10 He had a thousand yards last season.
00:13 Before camp, I was expecting, okay, he's going to be a yak guy.
00:15 He's going to be a chain mover.
00:17 If they flex him out, he's shown that he can win some one-on-one matchups with the back
00:20 shoulder fades like we see from Hopkins.
00:22 In camp, I lowered those expectations because it was like, all right, he's not catching
00:26 a lot of passes.
00:27 And when he does, it's usually over the middle of short stuff, like, all right, manage expectations
00:31 for Juju.
00:32 I get it.
00:33 At least he'll be a consistent, reliable chain moving kind of guy.

00:51 Win or lose.
00:52 But what we're seeing now is like he doesn't really contribute consistently in any facet
00:56 of the game.
00:57 And that's where maybe I was wrong, but also he doesn't look like the same player that
01:00 we saw last season.
01:01 I think that's been huge where Kendrick Bourne, you were hoping, took a step forward.
01:05 Devontae Parker, you're hoping, becomes a big play threat.
01:08 And I was surprised he didn't get more opportunities downfield.
01:10 That was kind of weird to me, considering Mack was doing that for a lot of people.
01:14 He had the one and I'm not sure if he stopped running.
01:16 I heard people saying that, or if it was just a bad ball.
01:19 But yeah, I think it's like, it's your veterans are disappointing.
01:22 Devontae Parker was their best deep play threat and he hasn't done any of that.
01:26 Kendrick Bourne has flashed so many times that he can make crazy plays downfield.
01:31 He hasn't done that consistently or in the past couple of weeks, really.
01:34 And then again, Juju is not really doing much of anything and even getting called for a
01:39 bad penalty on a block that helped contribute to a sputtering drive early on.
01:43 So yeah, we have to rely on the young guys, but the veterans need to step up and do what
01:48 they've been expected to do.
01:49 That's why I was confident that this would be at least a top 12 offense that didn't make
01:53 mistakes.
01:54 We had fewer mistakes today, but the execution was great.
01:57 Let me ask you this.
01:59 Where would you on a scale of one to 10, where was your optimism level after the Eagles game,
02:03 after the Dolphins game and after this game?
02:05 Is this the lowest you felt about this team?
02:08 For sure.
02:09 For sure.
02:10 I would say, I mean, it is mixed.
02:11 It's weird, right?
02:12 Yeah, it's weird.
02:13 Someone in the chat called this a moral loss.
02:16 You know, you got your moral victory.
02:19 It's the opposite.
02:20 It's the, it's the, and again, I see somebody else saying in the chat, like, guys, this
02:24 is, they moved the ball enough to win.
02:26 That's all you need to do against the team.
02:27 Sure.
02:28 But you gave the Jets the ball back three times with a chance to win the game, you know,
02:32 in the fourth quarter.
02:34 That's not great.
02:35 Like you're just, you couldn't even get first downs to ice the game, let alone put the points
02:39 on to create separation.
