 because our defense gets a huge stop and then we get the ball in great field position and I make a make a bad mistake like that. It loses you football games. I can't be doing that kind of stuff and I'll be better in the future. Are you guilty sometimes of trying too hard making a play when it's not there? Yeah definitely definitely. I think all quarterbacks you know everyone who's played the position at any level can say that. They've tried to do something and nothing's really been there. They wish they would have thrown the ball away and it leads to something else but the last couple weeks I've been doing that too much. So I gotta I just gotta slow my roll a little bit and make sure that I'm making the right decisions and making sure that I'm doing the right thing with the ball. Sam I don't know the game close to the level that you know the game so I don't know. Am I supposed to blame Sam Donald for not playing well or am I supposed to say how can he play well if he gets sacked eight times the offensive line is not doing the job and I know you're not going to sit here and throw anybody under the bus but it can't be easy to play quarterback if you have no time. Well we gotta you know I think I think for me I take a lot of responsibility and make sure I'm protected. Some of those looks if a guy's coming free I gotta find a way to get the ball off and in one of my playmakers hands and there were guys running for I mean you know coach gay is called a great game I mean guys are running open it's just up to us to for me to really point the the right guy and make sure that make sure that we're you know protected up front and you know it's that's really it you know we got guys running open it's just a matter of me finding time to get them the ball. So why is it on you to find time isn't it on the offensive line to give you time? I mean it's communication you know I think I think for me it's making sure that we're all on the same page me and you know up front the five linemen the tight end the running back where was the protection making sure that we're all on the same page and I think it starts in practice and it starts in you know walkers walkers meetings all that you know it's it's a culmination of a lot of things and I think we just you know we need to we need to you know do a little bit more throughout the week to to prepare for for you know the pressures and different looks that come our way but at the end of the day it's about taking what we do in practice and what we do in the walkies and meeting rooms and taking to the field it's the same story that we've been telling you know in these in these losses it's about taking what we do in practice and on the workdays and making sure that it translates to to Sundays on the field. Now you're not that far removed from mono your spleen is still being protected your sack date times are you thinking about that is that on your mind when you're playing and you're under duress not at all no no I've uh I'm past that um now yesterday I thought you know when the game started out for most of the game I thought despite the duress you did look pretty comfortable did you feel um mentally pretty good going to the game yesterday in spite of how tough the the week and the Patriots game was yeah yeah I felt really good mentally going in uh I mean our first drive we we had a good first drive and um you know we would have liked to sustain that energy and um sustain you know that success throughout the entire game obviously we didn't uh we had we had that opening drive and then another one in the second half and that was really it I mean we've got to find a way to be consistent I got to find a way to play consistent and that's really it guys Sam I mean we'll ask Adam Gayson we have him on tomorrow but I want to ask you as well because you're calling the plays if anything changes up front but Levy on Bell's one of the best running backs of this generation he had nine carries yesterday and he hasn't had that few of carries in five years so how is it that Levy on Bell touches the ball nine times as a running back um I think for me personally um there was some time in the past game where I felt like I could have gotten them a ball and um made some errant throws and I think it's up to me to be able to give them a ball in the in the in the past game if it's there and if if that's what the progression tells me to do uh in my reads and everything if that's what that tells me to do but as far as the run game yeah I think that's more of a question for for uh Coach Gase I know that you know we on the first drive a pass game looked really strong and I think we're hoping to just continue to do that throughout the game but I think that's more of a specific question for Coach Gase you know we're we're talking about the last couple of weeks but Dallas did happen I mean that was a good team came to your building and you guys played great you played particularly well so we know that it's there you know we know that this team can put it together so where are the real jets is it the team that's played the last couple of weeks or Dallas because I can see fans and even media myself included just wonder was Dallas just an aberration or is that somewhere close to what you're supposed to be and what you can be no that's what we can be we we know that we know that we can be that good um and really you know I said at the week after the Cowboys game on this on your show I mean it's you know we're capable of doing more than I felt like we left points on the field you know after every game no matter the win or a loss you're always you're always fighting for perfection and for us we always no matter if we win or we lose we're always feeling like we could score more points and so you're always going to feel that way after a game but I mean no I mean we can we have a capability of scoring a lot of points in this offense it's just a matter of sustaining sustaining success throughout the game and after one good drive you know after that one good opening drive it's about continuing to do that not not be satisfied Tom with Jets quarterback Sam Donald his weekly spot here on the Michael K show Sam Jamal Adams after the game looked you know so despondent he said he's tired of the losing he can't take it anymore are you are are we in danger of seeing a jet team that just gives up because the losing has become so prevalent is that a concern of yours Sam no I mean if if you're not tired of losing you know something's wrong with you you know it's losing sucks there's nothing worse than it but everyone that's on this team is feeling that way so again we just we got to find a way to win and I put a lot of you know I think it starts with me with the offense I got to stop forcing the ball I got to throw it away when it's not there and I just got to make sure the ball is coming out and it's timely matter and make sure that you know I put the ball and in our guys hand because once once I do that I know they can go make plays so it's just for me it's about doing my job and every single guy on the team it's about doing their specific job and if we focus on that and we sustain the energy that we did on that first drive as an offense I think I think this offense can be special now Sam Leonard Williams was traded today to the Giants there are rumors that other pieces may be dealt away because let's face it facts are facts you guys aren't a position out one and six where your general manager and your organization might decide to move some pieces I mean how is that as a leader that some of the guys in that room may not be in that room very much longer how do you deal with that yeah for me I can't think like that you know I'm just gonna continue to work hard um you know obviously me and Leo clicked right away I mean he went to USC I went to SC as well obviously a year after he he had moved on but so we clicked right away once I once I signed with the Jets and you know obviously with him being traded it's you know it's one guy to the locker room that you know I had a good relationship with but it's something that I can't control so I think for me it's you know no matter what happens throughout these next well this this next you know 24 hours or so I think it's really it's a matter of me just continuing to have a positive mindset and bring that bring that to the locker room and with the guys I think it's just continuing to push forward and and not look back final thing Sam how important is it to win this game against the dolphins dolphins are winless and you guys are struggling so I mean how much how much pressure is it to win this game it's huge every game we play is a big game and um yeah we're gonna be hyper focused this week on on being dolphins thanks Sam we appreciate your time as always thanks guys
