00:00After a week that saw the team make two major trades to sell at the trade deadline,

00:04the Jets, they picked up their second win of the season,

00:06knocking off the Cleveland Browns 27-20 at MetLife Stadium.

00:10And joining me for the first time this season to talk about gangrene football

00:14following a win is the great host from ESPN Radio, my guy Ty Butler, joins me now.

00:19Ty, what's going on? It is good to see you smiling after a Jets win.

00:24Yo, how about this? A victory conversation between you and myself.

00:28What's going on, man? It feels like this is rare.

00:32As you said, first time all year. Not that the Jets win a whole lot,

00:35but it's cool to talk to you after a victory.

00:37Yeah, it is. It's nice to do something a little different for once.

00:39It's just nice to have something a little bit different.

00:41But let's get into it, Ty, because the Jets now have won back-to-back games,

00:45which might be a little shock to some people in their self.

00:48It is a two-game winning streak for the Jets.

00:50What did you like about what you saw from gangrene here in Week 10?

00:54I'm a man of fairness, so here's the deal.

00:59If we're going to criticize Aaron Glenn, and rightfully so,

01:02there's been a lot that he's done worthy of criticism,

01:06it's only fair to give him credit once the team performs.

01:10And I thought it was important for me to see the way that they came out today.

01:14You're at home against a bad team.

01:17And I know the Jets are bad,

01:18but you're at home against an awful offense off of a bye.

01:22So that means you get extra time to prepare.

01:24And you couple that with, as you just mentioned,

01:27a really busy week where not only did you make a couple of trades,

01:30but you traded two of your three best players.

01:32You traded two strong voices, leaders on this team.

01:35So for them to come out hungry, aggressive, dare I say, Dexter,

01:41resembling a team that appeared to be well-coached today,

01:45that was impressive, man.

01:47The defense that was a disaster to start the year was flying around today.

01:53Will McDonald, Sherwood, Jermaine Johnson getting up in there.

01:57And I understand, again, the Browns are not the greatest show on turf.

02:01That's a horrific offense.

02:03But the Jets still had to, you know, go out there and perform.

02:07They still had some business that they had to go out there

02:10and show that they were about being a good team on that side of the ball.

02:14And that's Aaron Glenn's calling card.

02:17So he deserves a lot of credit for how they looked in this game today,

02:21especially with how well the defense performed.

02:24So despite getting anemic quarterback play,

02:28they found a way to win a football game that is the ultimate testament

02:33to what the head coach is preaching because they're not punting on the season.

02:37They dealt two of their players, but they still want to win football games,

02:41and that's what they were able to do today.

02:43They were able to do that today.

02:44You definitely waxed poetic there a lot about the defense.

02:47You did not talk too much about the offense.

02:50You didn't use the word anemic there.

02:52I'm going to say this, and let's just be real as we move on.

02:55Justin Fields, he was terrible in the first half today.

02:59Jets' offense was nonexistent, Ty.

03:00Fields, three of six in the first half for six yards, six yards.

03:06With an interception, he also took two sacks.

03:09Now in the second half, he went three for five, 48 yards.

03:11That is a little bit better there.

03:14He also threw for a score.

03:16So my question here with this anemic offense,

03:18should Aaron Glenn continue to put Justin Fields out there

03:21as they're trying to compete and win games,

03:23even with the Jets winning here today in spite of him?

03:25Hold up.

03:27Let's just start with something that I find to be quite amusing.

03:30You just said he was better in the second half

03:34and then outlined him being better was three of five for 48 yards,

03:39and then you squeezed in there.

03:41He threw for a score, which tells you it wasn't just a bad half.

03:46He was awful in this game.

03:48Now Justin Fields deserves a lot of credit for what he did against Cincinnati

03:52in the face of all that adversity.

03:53Man, the owner comes out and destroys him.

03:55And I think that even non-Jet fans were rooting for him

03:59because what Woody Johnson did was so slimy.

04:02But you got to keep it a buck, man.

04:04He was awful in this game.

04:06And I thought, and the broadcast hinted at it too,

04:09that there was going to get to a point where you were going to have to pull him

04:12because we saw in Denver the Jets were hesitant to pull him

04:16in a game that they desperately should have done that in order to win that game.

04:20But as far as the quarterback question is concerned,

04:24you know we're not going to get any answers from Aaron Glenn.

04:27But I think you start him this Thursday against the Patriots

04:31because you're coming off of a win.

04:33But if you get to halftime, and it's similar to what we saw today,

04:37how do you not go to Tyrod Taylor?

04:40I just can't imagine that if you're a head coach trying to win football games

04:46to keep this team locked in and dialed in because there's still a second half

04:50of the season to go, that you're going to run Justin Fields out there

04:54especially because of how awful he's lucked in.

04:57Yeah, I think it was fair today to ask how did he stay in

05:00after the first half that he had.

05:02He threw for six yards.

05:03Six yards.

05:04Three of six for six yards.

05:06And Tyrod Taylor still didn't come in the second half.

05:08So how about that?

05:09In the first half he threw for six more yards than you and I did combined.

05:14That's pretty impressive.

05:15That's impressive.

05:17Now I'm not saying that Ty or I wanted to get out of there and throw something.

05:20I have no plan.

05:22I'm fine right here.

05:23I'm good with that.

05:24All right, moving on.

05:25With their second straight win, Ty, the Jets,

05:28they moved to fifth in the draft order according to Tankathon.

05:30And you know this, some fans are going to want the Jets

05:32to get the highest pick possible in next year's draft.

05:34They're going to want them to lose all the rest of their games.

05:37But that's not how coaches are wired.

05:39That's not how NFL players are wired to play out the rest of the season.

05:42So what are you keeping your eyes on with this Jets team

05:45over the final eight games of the season?

05:48The question is so perfect and appropriate

05:51because I literally just received a notification on my timeline.

05:55At Ty D. Butler, by the way.

05:57Someone hit me up with the who gives a crap about a win today.

06:02They probably just lost a number one pick.

06:05What a garbage win.

06:06Here's the deal, man.

06:07You still have eight games left to go in the season.

06:10And the two teams that are currently ahead of them,

06:12two of the four teams currently ahead of them,

06:14don't need quarterbacks.

06:16So, yeah, you can just sneeze at a win.

06:19But I would ask you,

06:20what good is having the number one overall pick?

06:23What good is having five first-round picks in the next two years

06:26if you don't trust the guys making those selections?

06:30Which, by the way, you end the season at 1-16,

06:33that means you don't have a head coach.

06:36You don't have a general manager.

06:38Because they were good enough for one win all year long.

06:42They put together a roster that,

06:45and it's not like they have the Giants'

06:47number one toughest schedule in football.

06:49They put together a roster that was only good enough

06:52to get one win on the season.

06:55So I understand that the knee-jerk reaction

06:58as you're looking for a quarterback is,

07:01yo, let's finish with the worst record possible.

07:03I get that part of it.

07:05But the context to getting the number one overall pick

07:08is important.

07:09And the context of that would be your head coach

07:12and your general manager in year one was an abomination.

07:16And I don't trust those guys going into an important draft

07:19to get that quarterback if they are that pathetic.

07:23That's fair.

07:23I think that's more than fair.

07:25We'll see how the Jets do.

07:26But for now, Jets fans, you can smile.

07:28They've won two games in a row.

07:29They've got the Patriots coming up on Thursday night.

07:32They will look to make it three games in a row.

07:33You see Ty there pumping his chest.

07:35That means he's back on board.

07:36The Jets are going to run the table.

07:38That's exactly how he feels now.

07:39Jets are going to run the table and win.

07:41Listen, don't look now.

07:43Don't look now, Dexter.

07:44They're only a couple of wins away from CBS

07:47throwing up that graphic in the hunt.

07:50In the hunt.

07:51Oh, man.

07:52That is the biggest tease you can ever have there.

07:54We will see.

07:55That is Ty Butler.

07:56Check him out on ESPN Radio.

07:58Also, check him out on the Ty Butler Show on YouTube.

08:01I hop on there sometimes to talk some New York sports with Ty.

08:04Appreciate you, Ty.

08:05And hopefully, Gang Green can keep winning for you.

08:07Absolutely, man.

08:09All the respect and love to you, brother.

08:13You
