A three game winning streak is typically all it takes for Rex Ryan and Co. to start the swagger....and we all know how that turns out. That's why it's actually encouraging to hear Bart Scott take a more dispassionate view of his team and what's needed,
"You have to be playing your best football. We’re still trying to play our best football, we’re still trying to play completely as a team. You can be playing great as a unit one week or as a unit [the] next week. But a Super Bowl team puts it together consistently. You have to be able to play three games -- if you get in the playoffs, three great games -- to get an opportunity to win the Super Bowl. You just don’t wake up and say, ‘I’m a Super Bowl team.’ You have to be able to get better, and you have to play a certain way.”
Scott, now a seasoned 30-something player, seems to have the right perspective to bring a maturing influence to his teammates, and to provide the kind of encouragement towards consistent cohesion and forward moving progress that will push our players playoff-ward. He also seems to have the sort of high octane energy that counts. During a recent interview on the Jets Network, Scott admitted a weakness for Mountain Dew, that fizzy acid green jolt of carbonation and unadulterated caffeine typically associated with gaming geeks and insomniac nerds stuffed in the basement computer centers of U.S. colleges across the country.
Mountain Dew: Elixir of the Jets? I know our mantra is Go Jets Ho, but maybe this week while we watch our heroes, we can Do the Dew.
