Falcons Ex Coach Jeff Ulbrich Gives 'Hard Knocks' Jab to Patriots?
The New York Jets are starring on "Hard Knocks" this summer on Max, and a familiar face to Atlanta Falcons fans can be seen.
Jets defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, who enters his third season at the helm, coached the Falcons from 2015-20 and was part of the team's Super Bowl run that ended in a loss to the New England Patriots.
During Tuesday's premiere episode, Ulbrich had a lot to say about the Pats' "Do Your Job" mantra.
"It's the mantra of our defense: Make a motherf***er earn every yard," Ulbrich said. “Do my job, is that good enough? F*** no. That's the rest of the NFL, isn't it? 'Do your job. Do your job.' F*** that. Do your job, then now what? If we all do our job and a f***ing little bit more, that's 22 (players) playing."
Of course, it makes sense as to why Ulbrich might not be a fan of the Patriots, other than the fact that the team is a hated AFC East rival. The Falcons were on the wrong end of the Pats' historic and infamous 28-3 comeback in Super Bowl LI six years ago.
New episodes of "Hard Knocks" air on Tuesday nights at 10 p.m. ET on HBO and are available to stream on Max.
