Mark Canizzaro

From the New York Post Mark canas -- remark I don't. Great very well this this place has played -- don't --

Well this is this is not only 12 premises the as the best matchup well well all the playoff games this weekend I think -- and then you know the most intriguing most on the one of the most subplots.

Now I was gonna say best in terms of matchup on the field or all the all the games stories.

I think -- field I really do it has to be very close and I would be shocked if this is not a field goal game.

Now Mark we had we had a caller you know who knows he can't go secondhand third hand information we got a call last hours day. I heard Mark canas RO -- a national programs say the jet you're going to win this game is that true. That's a lot of thought somehow the jets were curtailed an ethnic question how -- the jets win because complete the sentence though -- don't --

By its multitude of small people like one analyst and you don't -- you -- that we protect these games I mean you know I I believe it yet still in there and and and are able to pressure Brady to waited it the first week. And when he orbit exactly six times here but he has been -- probable that just by the jet so obviously that's a pretty huge formula the question is you know how to spell -- counter. Is that the blessed amen to adjust to expect but it is I see him -- in their -- Brady. I see pending complaint very mistake free -- like it's gotten better every week they've been they've of the which are being vertical beat so they've been protected him pretty well you know things that worry me about the -- frankly are whether they can't run ball because they religious convert spot -- all -- on the ball. And although they're deep -- just played guard well the second half the unit give them -- points well fewest in the league now great they had not complaint power houses but you know it as it has for their comparable on the way I'm on the concern about them stop the run to beaches even against Oakland last week the raiders some talent there are. At wisdom of not culture in order to support shells are coated them anymore you know just as far as rent for 74 yards in the first half objects and they wanted to -- supposed to -- not to do that gonna keep at it accordion Dolan you know council outcome also you know the jets play good enough deep sense where -- they're -- competence right now they really believe in -- gene Michael you know I mean it's hard to put. -- you -- don't -- because obviously they -- but they -- this -- the team that's very very competent right now and it didn't really -- going to -- system and then. And it's coaching and you know if it's not going to put points on the board but you know it's one of those kind of intangibles like.

Mark you talked about the jets' running the football has -- Washington. Put Kevan Barlow a lot of a job here because of his play.

Well you know what it's too weird situation deal and I'm. Although it -- and giving -- the patriots that's really. Is only real good game this year you know he kind of he was good -- mud you know that game and then and grind it out o's -- been hampered by economic tweaked -- all year long. And he'd stolen irrelevant now -- been to bowl obviously you don't watch it company it's a really good players center Houston will not -- he's -- trick and got healthy -- was -- pretty well for a few games. That they're really kind of I mean beyond beyond what he backed by committee it's more cut alike. You know Eric try to -- hand -- and then you know it's it's a bit of a mishmash. And then it's really a -- honesty I believe.

You talked about the respect -- the jets have remained -- What what was the turning point I mean wasn't that first win of the season over Tennessee where the players that I wouldn't go through this tough training camp this guy's going to deliver us or show us how to win the game where was or something else some other moment Mark. They're released it is really stands out you.

Michael I would think it was the first there was -- wouldn't give in November really do you know yeah. I mean that -- believe the Tennessee game was an eye opener but you know there -- a lot of people factions to litigate that relate almost blew a huge lead you know pennant took -- some yards to win the game but you know recent he came together and eight great game. They had been give up a lot of get a lot of yards a lot of point of what would lead they should be coached but could only the fourth quarter. And they got a good -- week in and the Dakotas -- cut -- Normal all the screw -- all year. You know just but it lies as -- to date we've that was outside the room to put all of -- monitor the people out of the mom Eric and the players. You'd try to -- told me yesterday called the succession you know what it got -- look at what -- a -- messing up. And they came out the next game was it was -- in political game. And the you know in the LC to buy into it and dolce and come together -- thought that was a real galvanizing game not only compete for the for the gets sent to the jets have seen Khatami's riskiest opposite he didn't losing streak but it -- Foxboro where they basically never win you know they do that it was the first week against area I guess in a winning record all year and the thing was the you know if we could bring to belichick Diana in a moment. Bill the -- kind of. You six kind of he really -- maybe unknowingly violated one of his most college ruled this players and that's doctors say too much and not too. To do anything awhile up or or help motivate your opponent. In in the -- billion overbay and Jeannie thing that week -- and refusing to -- call my name but you know for whatever reason were you that. I'm motivated legit players -- after the game you know one after another after another guy I was talking about it or you know at -- and they wanted to win this for him -- and you know he's that he was disrespect at all -- develop chicken things like that. And you know in other stuff goes on in guys become -- kind of intangible motivate -- And it really kind of backfired a little bit all of that -- they're they're they're feel it would are to a to a large degree as well.

Patriots defensive line was a mess when these two teams met November Ty Warren was out Richard Seymour had to switch positions was largely ineffective Vince Wilfork at its worst game of the year perhaps I would expect that Eric -- and his offensive coaches expect a much tougher task this weekend and they face them.

I think you're right field that question for the rewards are great year he horses trumpet player a lot of weird game for Seymour was he -- Yeah nobody but he nicked up and Beckett was a.

And yet he had bad -- was trying to play through it and play a different position at the same time.

And the ballots except enough for a lot of respect to happen and I noted that he was -- ticked off after the game four record he wanted to be -- even though he was hurt but -- and I wasn't definitely you know you know situation now obviously -- the other -- They've got you know running carousel which which you know -- to be significant blow but that's what area are going to be out who the -- that I think are -- about the last year. You know they they're probably the one of the least her teens in terms of any significant injuries all year and he got PM PTI logic is the only guy that's -- silent on the -- at the starting lineup even quicker than that it could get in particular that was that.

Mark you've seen Chad Pennington throughout his career number I think it was a couple of years ago before that San Diego game just going out to San Diego there're so many conversations about. Chad Pennington in his arm strength in about not mistaken didn't come out very early that game and go deep.

Because they're dead yeah. You know Michael that's what you eight -- it's overblown business you know but all of its really I mean. I wouldn't give Chad Pennington a rocket at an army be eating it could have checked Georgia -- but where's Jeff George right now don't just throw one name out there you know -- Jeff George -- will -- brick wall. But you know you know talk -- march you know you have the anticipation -- Chad. The ability not only the smarts to be older you know to to notices her offense in three years turned over to coordinator three years their system in three years -- period is no huddle running it to -- all the action. And he has the anticipation. -- we have a receipt was going to be and that's -- it puts the ball exit from the and you watch these games and eyesight -- little -- you -- doctors -- become a wide channel blockers and sometimes. I watch these frozen it's and the basic quicker up in the air forever. And -- as we didn't -- to pick the ball for all the -- it gently older and -- what worries cold hands or or or. Jericho -- admit to something like that -- and you like how did -- get all they are eligible -- leadership -- but you know he just as bad. That -- that knack and that what god gave immediately it was strong arms yeah you got a strong on the global -- doubled -- and yet. McCareins called bunch of people this year -- eat eight got about 17 yard average and they go you know the local people optical stretcher you know 234 times a game you know or try to you know -- be that big player or will it restricts.

Yeah that's Barbara and San Diego situation Mark because it's not an enemy says the jets to going to take some shots in this game I don't know up they'll be as obvious as harmless at the time it is too early kind of quiet the critics let. I expected to do a pretty early don't you.

Well why shouldn't -- Michael -- and the and the patriots are strongest where were you guys just mentioned that front Reagan on the front seventh you know. So in -- I think and benefit I mean that was -- in my garage you know tremendous an outstanding year would attempt next immediate there's any place he probably want to protect patriots because there's secondary hasn't had.

I I asked how would do it. I mean out now wouldn't take the Chicago Bears that Rex Grossman approach which was just brought up there and see if my god come down with an athlete doesn't always.

I'm Dirk and that's a panic and doesn't do like he doesn't just. Well all you know I mean you know that -- of the -- and you know he's you know I think that is so cautious with the ball and almost sometimes street to a fault you know but he's so cautious at least through his. This career I had tricks -- we did that's scheme cool because he had it three pick game earlier on in Jacksonville he was just an awful game but you know he's thrown to more -- than usual this year of course he's played more games than he's fled their gratitude to.

Well let's turn that around because let's talk about the jets' secondary from moment. I know Andre Dyson is not listed is out but I don't expect him to play the of.

Probably not although he's looked a lot more well limber and it practices in the in the in the fraction of the second the world level practice here you know but he's -- he's done more practice -- week. But it it last week but.

While we are seeing Hank Poteat and and you know we've seen what he can and can't do. And and I kind of expected Tom Brady may be looking to take advantage of the jets' secondary as much as Pennington is going to try to take advantage of the patriots.

No question about it you know that yet no double -- have to get pressure on breaks and that's what -- as a comedian that is that's. You know is beating you -- able to beat that blitz is about as good there has to do it it doesn't regained. And you know that's a concern to reject some that there are seven somebody echo again what I get but otherwise -- and they know --

You know Eritrean -- market's gotten a lot of attention deservedly so for his job but -- in his first season but there's another guy. Who's in his first season in this capacity who doesn't get much attention that's Mike Tannenbaum that he could you describe what the relationship is between those guys and what is -- bogged down this year that they get your attention.

Well a little the second part first love Michael -- is really trust all the right buttons -- virtually all the right buttons with regard to the draft. If you look at the -- didn't and it did get strapped to look at the rookie -- should be this year you know with with meg older person on the line with you know with -- Washington obviously with brad -- and school's kind of an interest hybrid that they've -- music as a little offensive weapons so it trappings been terrific. And you know is who does what a real big free agent year for them you know brought a couple of guys in obviously Chatham oh you guys know well there is is an invaluable variety in the locker room -- special teams you know he's he's not a guy that's flashy but. But you know particularly forgot to -- helped deliver Eric's message that's great future helped to so so Mike is really you know he's responsible good guys and good character guys could gadget play. And his relationship of whatever is fantastic and these guys were a couple of writers weekly one you know what bill -- was up there. With the browns and you know they were basically making copies available water cooler in a -- about do what we're doing right now and then -- they are.

you get to the playoffs if you can run the football and stop the run that's generally a pretty good formula for success and based on how you're describing this game. I get the sense that you feel the patriots can run the ball a little bitten you're not sure if the jets can't and yet you think the jets will win does -- kind of contradict.

It does a little bit parabolic you know. Well listen you know when you make six you know -- don't -- to have a dilemma like 10000 dollars on this game no adult yet.

definitely I'm not going to -- Michael's money. How much -- got on

they would have -- guys that are out but you know there's certain you know -- EST just undeterred -- but because I don't go to some -- way earlier in the week Aram. Who said you know it was a bit into the jet set any chance of in this game is that does that seem to be adept adept.

we all know that's not the prevalent I don't think the prevalent feeling is people believe in the jets don't have a chance but I think 95% of -- call. Think that the patriots win gain and act as they have problems day it's going to be close games -- others say problem which I don't expect the.

I'm I'm really surprised with -- with George Brett and I am open to -- nervous but like absolutely bet. You know I mean -- covered sports slow long enough to know about your guys bad guys -- not but the light is off the Orioles -- the magnet I mean it really is it's amazing what these guys do and you know what sort of like about it night -- I would start an ideal and it -- I got the money to bet I'd smoky trail government gets at least covering that -- really cute it was going to be one possession game in the end but. -- you know beat you wonder on the there's a reason -- point spreads in these guys are not dummies you know so. I hate to throw so much respect for the again what community that. You know everybody to just you know obviously they're not sure a lot of respect for the jets you know who to who went -- a month and a half we don't beat the patriots now obviously different circumstances and and and -- players were -- but. You know I guess until they're knocked off their pedestal in the post season which you don't -- last year but let's be honest you know the body -- but not probable you know what this group then you know until somebody really does that you know I suppose you know little -- playing particularly in their back yard is not get the respect.

The the jets patriots game up here in November was the death knell for the cow pasture that used to be called playing surface at Gillette stadium. Do you think that the playing surface has any bearing on this weekend's game.

I don't because I think it's the same for both teams. You know the jets obviously they're pretty good job. I you know what is Apollo -- is best yours is this singular best game of the year in maybe he's just in the motor I don't know what I don't battle is irrelevant Eric elements but it's not supposed to rain game there regularly now. Almost B nine's so you know I don't agree because just because of the Balkans -- that it would seem is like you know. You know incredibly speedy -- you know I like that great show on -- said the deal where one team -- was got you know on the receivers they're more so than the other team. The other -- very similar you know -- they are and he takes away the players you know the and he obviously Brady have human not you know court back at least you know he's as good as -- You know outside in Montana in in the playoffs -- You know -- that these teams kind of knew each other terms the way to build the characters don't have -- character our guys on the team. And then -- Eric has definitely brought you know one of the biggest things is brought in from bill is is you know that whole -- you know team aspect rather than you know the media aspect. And you know Michael -- argued you know a valuable very well that's something that he has sold his players they've shown that it works. And man he's got barrier to that the players believe in and it's not about individuals. Which after electric stuff he's got all that fought in the that and there are you know they've received a group that labor now. You know what with a lot of role players some guys -- want to weaken you know in other cities -- picked off you know it'd just gotta go about it and contribute when that would that would have brought their you know pulled teeth. -- a good example I mean he's he's starting -- you know and he's been a -- he's been discarded by seven other stuff and other times in -- he's been cut seven times you know. So you know -- they've bought into this one this you know not a team first saying -- and there's something to that would be honest he you don't properties these championship teams you know chemistry is immeasurable.

Final question before we let you go and I know men -- would never admit to with the players would always deny it. Do you sense any of this were kind of playing with house money atmosphere around their at all at this point.

I don't sense that one bit for any player I except from people like me who write that. Because you know that's kind of the extra immediately there I -- what that's definitely the attitude of the book he -- and down your -- but he's somebody obviously everybody expects patriots went. The people here are more upbeat they're just they're just delighted that the debt that the the the -- to play outsourcing you don't Italy -- first year and they really do believe it went without money you hear a lot of that sent them like hey whatever happens from here happens you know you know we're building we're gonna -- directly elect -- you know that's -- the playoffs. You guys they're very spoiled you know because patriots have been so good for so long you know we're -- in baseball here with the Yankees you know you know you spoke sought to. But you know the type of -- precious you know around here they don't you know doesn't. You know doesn't happen as often here although you know hermetically three times in his tenure but you know while you're here you puzzlement some -- that's -- to the -- they got these guys --

Two months -- Mark it's bigger. Feel free to drop a bit using Michael's money game if you got a stack and do whatever while I am angry and -- think -- Mark thanks we'll talk again Mark in his -- the New York Post New York Jets beat reporter and very good what he does obviously
