00:00The Jets need to do something that they haven't done since 2014,

00:04and that's go down to Miami and beat the Dolphins.

00:07They'll have their shot tonight on Monday Night Football.

00:09So let's talk J-E-T-S and M-E-T-F with Matt O'Leary of the Just Jets podcast.

00:15Matt, what's going on, my man? Big game tonight, buddy.

00:19Absolutely. Huge game for the New York Jets tonight.

00:21Hopefully they join the win column like your Giants did yesterday.

00:24Yeah, Victory Mondays. So sweet. Haven't felt that in a long time.

00:28I hope you get a Victory Tuesday tomorrow.

00:31But let's talk about this game because we're talking about a Jets team

00:34that's 0-9 on the road against the Dolphins

00:36ever since they beat them in London as the away team.

00:40So how much does that, I guess, historical baggage matter to you

00:44and the fan base when this team walks into Miami tonight?

00:49Yeah, I don't know if it really matters a ton

00:52because, you know, it's a new coaching staff and a new regime that's in here

00:56and the players have turned over a ton since then.

00:59But, you know, I do think it's something on the back of the minds of not only Jet fans,

01:04but maybe this team as well.

01:06They've struggled in their division for a long time,

01:08not only just with the Miami Dolphins.

01:10And I think that's a big reason why, you know,

01:12unfortunately they're in the midst of this long playoff drought.

01:15But, you know, it starts tonight.

01:16This is a tough test for the New York Jets in week four.

01:20I know both teams winless.

01:22Both teams definitely need a win in this one.

01:24But for Aaron Glenn to be able to go on the road

01:27and get his team a victory against a divisional opponent,

01:29I think that's a good start for them turning things around.

01:33Both teams on three.

01:34Both teams desperately need a win.

01:37Both teams don't have a takeaway at all yet this season.

01:42Aaron Glenn's a defensive-minded head coach

01:44and defensive coordinator Steve Wilks has coached in the Super Bowl before.

01:48So does it surprise you that the Jets' defense has struggled so much this season

01:55to take the ball away?

01:56And how confident are you that they can hold up against Miami's offense

02:00who can get hot at times?

02:03Yeah, I definitely am surprised that they haven't had a takeaway yet this year.

02:08It's something that they emphasized during training camp and during OTAs

02:12that they wanted to be a defense that turns the ball over

02:15and creates turnovers in advantageous situations.

02:18Obviously, they haven't been able to do that just yet.

02:21And, you know, Tua has struggled with turnovers at times this year.

02:26So if there was ever a game for them to finally get on the board,

02:29it feels like this could be the week.

02:30But you look at the Miami Dolphins' offense,

02:33they just played pretty good against Buffalo last week in week three

02:36and had some momentum.

02:38I know it obviously didn't end well for them.

02:40They had the interception late in the game,

02:42but they have a ton of speed on the offensive side of the ball.

02:45The Jets haven't tackled all that well this year either.

02:47And I worry about guys like Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddell

02:51and Devon Achain out in space against this Jets defense.

02:55They're going to desperately need to improve soon

02:59if they want to win this game tonight against the Miami Dolphins.

03:02Again, both teams coming in at 0-3.

03:05I should probably stop saying that because by now everyone's like,

03:07we know that already, beat London.

03:09But the Jets have a head coach in Aaron Glenn that's been taking some heat

03:13recently and the Dolphins have a head coach that is currently on the hot seat.

03:18So if the Jets don't get a win tonight, what's the narrative around this team?

03:26Yeah, I think you look at it right now,

03:28the Jets have gone up against three teams who were playoff teams a year ago.

03:33And obviously, the Jets had a couple chances in the fourth quarter

03:37to hold on to a win, whether it was last week against Tampa Bay,

03:41had the lead late, had a lead against Aaron Rodgers in week one.

03:45But Aaron Glenn loses this game to an 0-3 Dolphins team.

03:49And, you know, Mike McDaniel, it kind of feels like he has one foot

03:51out the door already in Miami.

03:54And I think a lot of Jet fans are going to grow even more frustrated

03:58with the start to this season.

04:00They got to get right, and it starts this week.

04:02I don't think you could afford to drop to 0-4 because otherwise it's going to

04:06feel like the season's over, really, before it even had a chance to begin here.

04:10Just give us a final thought, your final takeaway for tonight's matchup.

04:15Yeah, for me, I think it's going to be a high-scoring back-and-forth game.

04:19I don't really trust either of these defenses.

04:22And Justin Fields returning against the Miami Dolphins,

04:25I think it's a softer landing spot for him to come against against a defense

04:31rather than some of the ones that they've previously played in the first three weeks.

04:35So I think they're going to need to establish the run game.

04:39And if they do that, I think they'll have a chance in the fourth quarter

04:41to win this one.

04:42All right, Matt, thanks for hopping on with this.

04:43And, again, I hope you experience a victory Tuesday tomorrow, my man.

04:48Absolutely. Thank you, Brandon.
