1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Jets have been extremely busy since the NFL league year

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: opened up last Wednesday. It feels like it's been forever,

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: but it's been less than a week. So many moves

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: to talk about. That's coming up next with Baldy.

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: We meet anybody in the world, and I think we're

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: gonna win next Sunday's.

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 3: This gets running on the street.

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 4: Can't wait, Baldy. Great to see you again, brother.

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 3: Good to see you. Ea.

10
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: Uh.

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: You know, this off season comes fast and furious, man

12
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 2: like season ends and whole season and then the next

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: thing you know, it's the free agency and here we

14
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: are getting ready for the draft.

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 3: So comes around quick man.

16
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 4: We all like to live through you.

17
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: So tell us what it's been like for you since

18
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: the league year started.

19
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 4: Uh.

20
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 3: Well, I went for the league year.

21
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: I was out in Los Angeles working for the network,

22
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: though I was covered in free agency. I think the

23
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: league year started last Wednesday, March eighth, so I was

24
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: out in Los Angeles for that, but I took some

25
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 2: time off. I went to Istanbul for like ten days

26
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: and toured around. We had we had a good time

27
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 2: over there. Was They treated us well. The food was good,

28
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: the weather was good. We had a good time once

29
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: they came in Islands. So I got out a little bit,

30
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: uh and relaxed. Done, But it doesn't take me long

31
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: to get back into the swing of things.

32
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 4: No one never does.

33
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: So speaking of moving, let's talk about Jets GM Darren Mougie.

34
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: What do you make of what he's been able to

35
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: do here since the beginning of the league year.

36
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 2: Well, it's he's done a lot. I mean, first of all,

37
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: there's a lot of new coaches on the staff. Frank

38
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 2: Reich obviously coming in, you know, to be offensive coordinator,

39
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: Bill Duker, you know, Brian Duker coming in. You know,

40
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: it's a defensive coordinator. A lot of new coaches. They

41
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: rebuilt this roster. It needed to be rebuilt, and uh,

42
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: you know, I think that they got some good value

43
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: with some real veteran guys who've been around a long time.

44
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: Obviously Damario Davis back to the Jets for the third time.

45
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: But they got a lot of guys not just that

46
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: are veteran, but guys who have been largely healthy and

47
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: in leadership roles wherever they've been.

48
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 3: So I think they really did their homework.

49
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: They got guys at every level of defense that have

50
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: been around a long time. They needed to rebuild this defense,

51
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: starting with a new defensive coordinator, and you know, I

52
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: think that that's I think that's good because you got

53
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: to build this the right way and leadership and how

54
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: you practice and how you prepare and you know, how

55
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 2: you become a professional. It's good to be able to

56
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: model yourself after some of the guys make and Onya Mata,

57
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 2: some of the guys they brought in.

58
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 3: I think it's really really good.

59
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: Jets said they're going to exhaust all their options as

60
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback position bald and they make a trade for

61
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: Geno Smith. Of course, last year Gino was with the Raiders.

62
00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 1: Listen the Raiders endure their struggles. I know Gino's the

63
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: numbers were not eye popping, but he did throw for

64
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: more than three thousand yards, the nineteen touchdown passes, seventeen interceptions.

65
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: But I like to circle that three year run that

66
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: he had in Seattle as the full time starter from

67
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: twenty two to twenty four and say there's the NFL

68
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: comeback player of the year. There's a two time Pro bowler,

69
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: There's a guy who passed for more than four thousand

70
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: yards in a pair of seasons.

71
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 4: There is a guy who's playing to win a football.

72
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 3: No question.

73
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: I think he was twenty twenty two as the starter

74
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: with Pete Carroll in Seattle. I was out there, did

75
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: a bunch of games while he was out there. He

76
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: was the leader, you know, he did. He played really

77
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: last year. I don't know if any quarterback could have

78
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: been successful. The offensive line fell apart, lost their left tackle, lost.

79
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 3: Their left guard. Mey they I mean, he was a disaster.

80
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: Some Sundays lost their tight end All World tight end

81
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: Rock Bowers early in the year. You know, I don't

82
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: know if he was ever right with the knee injury,

83
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: and you know, they tried to build the offense around

84
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: a rookie running back at the The line wasn't good.

85
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: He didn't Ashton gent, he didn't have good games. It

86
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: was just it was just tough, really tough. There was

87
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: games out there. I went back and forth with them

88
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: on Twitter over a couple of things, and there were

89
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: games where he did his best just to finish the game,

90
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: but like he was just getting destroyed upfront. Guys who

91
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: were bliss, missing assignments, Guys were coming free at him.

92
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 2: He showed some toughness, but those three years in Seattle.

93
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: He was a good player.

94
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: In fact, you look at that the last year there,

95
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: he was ten and seven, ten and seven, and you know,

96
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: the Rams won the division with a ten and seven record.

97
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 2: They just ten and seven, just didn't qualify for the

98
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: playoffs that year. So he did play a playoff game

99
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: against San Francisco had him in position to you know,

100
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: play well deep into the third quarter.

101
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: So you know, he played winning football.

102
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: And he was He led the league in completion percentage

103
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 2: one year, was basically seventy percent completion quarterback, and he

104
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: showed good mobility.

105
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 3: E They you know, they.

106
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: Looked at tape and he really you know, after he

107
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: left the Jets, you know, he sat for a while

108
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 2: and got a chance to play in Seattle and it

109
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: was the right decision to replace Russell Wilson and he became,

110
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: you know, a good, solid three year starter there.

111
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: Can you speak to how this makes sense on the

112
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: field and how it makes sense dollars and cents wise

113
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: for the Jets because they're only on the hook for

114
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: three million dollars for Gino Smith And when you're looking

115
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: at all your options, you bringing a guy his caliber

116
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: and you still have all this draft capital we talk

117
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: about the four picks in the top forty four, and

118
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: your capital continues to increase in twenty twenty seven as well.

119
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: So when I think about the quarterback position right now,

120
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: the Jets have upgraded in the near term, but also

121
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: in the long term. They still have everything at their hands.

122
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: No question.

123
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: And you know, it's it's an unusual year. We mean

124
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 2: all by all accounts. I mean, there might just be

125
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 2: one quarterback taken in the first round. That's gonna be

126
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 2: Fernando probably with the first pick. But if you look

127
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: at these other teams that are picking up, you know,

128
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: quarterbacks now, whether it's Tua you know, to Atlanta right now,

129
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 2: or Kyler Murray to Minnesota, or Gino to the New

130
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: York Jets, what are they doing. They're getting these guys

131
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: at a bargain rate. It's low risk, it's high reward.

132
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: It can be high reward, and you're not thinking a

133
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 2: bunch of money into a player that you know might

134
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 2: not be there in two years you don't know, like

135
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: they certainly can be, but you know, they bring these

136
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: guys in to compete for the most part, at a

137
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 2: bargain rate. It started, really we saw it with Russell

138
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: Wilson a couple of years ago going to Pittsburgh.

139
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 3: You get them.

140
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: You get them for a million, three million dollars, whatever

141
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: it is for some of these guys, and you don't

142
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 2: have to take a bunch of money into the position.

143
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: You could spread it out and.

144
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 2: Really build the team around the quarterback who's coming in

145
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 2: at a really good rate.

146
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: Baldy Geno in twenty twenty two, nearly forty three hundred

147
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: yards passed, and he led the National Football League with

148
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: a completion percentage of nearly seventy sixty nine point eight.

149
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: Two years later in twenty twenty four, we're not long

150
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: removed from this, no, I mean he's a seventy point

151
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: four percent passer for four thou three hundred and twenty yards,

152
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: twenty one touchdowns, and fifty interceptions. I've been impressed by

153
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: his maturity along the way. Of course that shouldn't be

154
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: a surprise from his first stop with the Jets. But

155
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: I asked him about his time in Las Vegas, and

156
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: he was fourth right, he said it. You know, listen,

157
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get better from being with the Raiders and

158
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: going through that adversity. But one thing that I know

159
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: I have to cut down is the turnover.

160
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, Look, I mean it's an honest assessment. You know,

161
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: you you would take thirty touchdowns and under ten interceptions

162
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: and a seventy percent completion percent you can sign up

163
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 2: for right now. But fifteen is too high in this league.

164
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 3: You know.

165
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: I remember when Eli Manning led the league in a

166
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: steps and he said he had to work on it.

167
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: He was going to cut it down, and he did.

168
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: You know it, you have to look in the mirror

169
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 2: and look, they fired their offense coordinator, Chip Kelly. He

170
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,559
Speaker 2: was not a good fit for Pete Carroll.

171
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: It was. It just wasn't good at any step.

172
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: But you know, for Gino to say, look I want

173
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: to keep playing, I can play at a high level.

174
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: This is what I need to do to ensure that

175
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: I play at a high level. I got to cut

176
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: down in the mistakes. And so I think he's more

177
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: than capable of doing it. You know, you're seeing these

178
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 2: quarterbacks right now. A bunch of them play deep into

179
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: their thirties. Kirk Cousin's still playing Aaron Rodgers.

180
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 3: I mean, just.

181
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: Because you're thirty five years old or whatever Gino is

182
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 2: right now, it doesn't mean anything in this league. He

183
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 2: sat for basically almost eight years, you know, and really

184
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: didn't take a beating, But he learned a lot along

185
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: the way with him a lot of different coaches, so

186
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: he's learned some different systems. He's been in some different places.

187
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: You know, I think he's learned in all quarterbacks absorb

188
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 2: and learned differently. And then the whole goal is to

189
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: be able to take all that maturity, all that experience

190
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: and then go out and apply. And so he's going

191
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: to get a pretty good offense line in front of him,

192
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: something he can't say he's had certainly last year, pretty

193
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 2: good offensive line in front of him, a heck of

194
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: running back class behind him, certainly Garrett Wilson, and whatever

195
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: they do at wide receiver, a young guy in Mason Taylor.

196
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 3: He threw to a young player in Brock Bowers.

197
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: He just dosn't really really wasn't healthy from the second

198
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 2: game of the season on. But if you look at

199
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 2: him just the first week of the season last year,

200
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: they beat the Knowyngland Patriots. Gino was a big part

201
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: of it. You know, they won the AFC last year.

202
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: So you know, even though last year, nobody wants to

203
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 2: really look at it. I think Gino the fact that

204
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 2: you know he recognizes the interceptions, you've got to cut

205
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 2: down on it.

206
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 3: That's good, good quality.

207
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred and twenty five career touchdown passes, eighty

208
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: nine interceptions. He makes you defend every blade of grass,

209
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: doesn't he Because we talk about his completion percentage over

210
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: the one thing that Gino has always had is a cannon.

211
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: And also he's been extremely accurate, and he likes to

212
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: get the ball down the field.

213
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 4: And that's one element.

214
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: That the Jets have to open up here in twenty

215
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: twenty six.

216
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 2: There's no question he you know, you got to become

217
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: more explosive. I mean, honestly, you can basically correlate touchdowns

218
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: and explosive plays on drive. You're getting an explosive play

219
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 2: in the drive, you got a much better chance of

220
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: scoring a touchdown or scoring in this league right now.

221
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: And so the Jets have to become more explosive. They've

222
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: got to push the ball down the field. If you're

223
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 2: just you can't in this business nickel and dime your

224
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: way down the field very often for very much success.

225
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: You've got to hit your deep shots. You got to

226
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: take your shots and Gino's always had a good touch

227
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 2: on the ball, and so I think he's gotten better

228
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: and better with it. He has some good receivers in Seattle,

229
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 2: and including Jackson Smith and Jigma his rookie year and

230
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: So who only led the league in receiving last year,

231
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: so he knows what good receivers look like and so

232
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 2: and tight ends and really, honestly, the offense that he

233
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: basically ran in Seattle was a heavy run offense, a lot.

234
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 3: Of play action pass off it.

235
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 2: He's got good movements still, Like he has not been

236
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 2: injured much EA. I don't know if he has had

237
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: a surgery, to be honest with you, Like the legs

238
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 2: still worked really good. He can get out of harm's

239
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 2: way and his eyes are down the field. He was

240
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 2: like that at West Virginia coming out in that offense

241
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 2: that he ran.

242
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 3: So I think the.

243
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 2: Qualities that you're looking for are still very much there,

244
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: even though he's been in this league for quite a while.

245
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: Baldy, what do you make in the situation that Gino

246
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: Smith is walking into. You're talking about an offensive line,

247
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: a young offensive line that returns for the five starters

248
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: who started every game last season. Of course, it's also

249
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: added Dylan Parum in free agency. You have a running

250
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: back stable that's headlined by Bryce Hall. You have Isaiah Davis,

251
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: who was very impressive last season by all coming back

252
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: from injury. Garrett Wilson a bona fide number one receiver

253
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: in elite target. And then the young tight isends. We

254
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: talked about that, Mason Taylor, Jeremy Ruckert. I don't think

255
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: the Jets are done at the receiver position. And then

256
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: ultimately the pairing of Gino with a veteran offensive coordinator

257
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: and Frank Reich and a veteran quarterbacks coach in Bill Musgrave.

258
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 3: Well, I think it really, like, really the hidden guy

259
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: is Bill Musgrave. Bill.

260
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: Bill is excellent. He's been the offensive coordinator. He's had

261
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 2: a lot of jobs in this league. But he's very

262
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 2: good with quarterbacks. He worked with all those young quarterbacks

263
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: in Cleveland last year. I saw him in preseason with

264
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: Kevin Stefanski. He's good with quarterbacks.

265
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 3: He's really is.

266
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: He was a former quarterback himself. He's worked with some

267
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: great ones. That's good. But Frank's been around. Frank's been around.

268
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 2: He was you know here with Doug Peterson. They put

269
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: a good team together and in Philadelphia. I'm saying, but

270
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 2: you know, Frank's been the head coach in Indy, He's

271
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: been around as a.

272
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 3: Former player himself.

273
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: I've played with Frank up in Buffalo when he was

274
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: a backup to Jim Kelly. You know, I think he's

275
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 2: got a lot of experience. He tried to go back

276
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 2: to college. Things didn't really work out. That's a different

277
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: game right now, you know, going out to Stanford. But

278
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: I think he learned some things. I think most people

279
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 2: learn a lot about football when they go back to

280
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: college and they just see okay, tempo, spread, a lot

281
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: of the things that you want to do at the

282
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 2: college level, how you compete against teams that you don't

283
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: have the talent to compete with, and how you try

284
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: and keep these games competitive. Like it takes a lot

285
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: of game planning to do a lot of those things.

286
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 2: It's it's probably a good refresher course for a lot

287
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 2: of coaches to be able to do that. So I

288
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 2: think Frank comes in with a clean slate chance to

289
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: put this offense together. He's going to play it and

290
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 2: adjust it to the talent that he has. I think

291
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: we have to include ad Mitchell Yep in this offense

292
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: right here. I mean he came out just a couple

293
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: of years ago. Like he is a big, fast guy,

294
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: and you know, I think this is I think this

295
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 2: is going to be a good.

296
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 3: Spot for him.

297
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: Who knows what what happens in the draft right now

298
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: with two first round picks, but honestly, Ady Mitchell could

299
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: stand up against anybody, any of these receivers they're coming

300
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 2: out of the draft in the first round this year.

301
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: Can you speak to Reich's philosophy on running the football

302
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: and what he did with Doug Peterson the two years

303
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: they were there working with the different quarterbacks Eon Carson Wentz,

304
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: then they had to hand the ball off to Nick Foles,

305
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: and then fast forward a little bit to Indianapolis because

306
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: I don't think Frank gets enough credit for what he

307
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: did in Indianapolis, consider considering the quarterback instability and them

308
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: bringing in Jonathan Taylor. I believe from eighteen to twenty one,

309
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: Baldy that Indianapolis was a top five ranked rushing offense.

310
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 2: Well, those are kid, if you only become a top

311
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: five rushing offense if there's a commitment to the run game.

312
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: If you even look at the Eagles run in two

313
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: thousand and seventeen to win Super Bowl fifty two. You know,

314
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 2: they had Lea Garrett Blunt. They had you know, they

315
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 2: had a basically a committee that they used. I mean

316
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: La Garrett basically finished the games out when they would

317
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 2: get a lead. They had three different running backs there

318
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: that they rotated. But you know, I remember when Frank

319
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: was the head coach in Indianapolis. I remember being out

320
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 2: there for football camp and Frank came and talked to

321
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: all the the young quarterbacks. Caleb was there, and Jaydon

322
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: Daniels and Garrett Neusemier, all these quarterbacks were there, and

323
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: Frank poked everybody and like his his thing back then was, look,

324
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: the quarterback's best friend is the running game.

325
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 3: You know.

326
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 2: I mean that's so Frank is going to commit to that.

327
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: When he was in Buffalo with Jim Kelly, they had

328
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: Thurman Thomas. You know, they had a Hall of Fame

329
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 2: running back. You know, Jonathan Taylor was on his path

330
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: to be becoming a Hall of Fame running back. You know,

331
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: he's going to see Breist Hall and Braylon Allen and

332
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: and you know the Isaiah Davis and he's gonna go

333
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: just a good committee. We got every type of back.

334
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: We got the guys that can catch it, pound it, run.

335
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 3: It, finish it.

336
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: Like he's gonna find a way to play three running backs,

337
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 2: I believe, especially if they're all healthy. Braylan comes back

338
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 2: healthy from knee injury, so I mean, he's not afraid

339
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: to use a committee to get the job done. But

340
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: there's gonna be a commitment to the run game under Frank.

341
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: I just think this could be a very good situation

342
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: for Geno Smith in his return because you're talking about, Hey,

343
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: the play action passing game and the Jets leaning on

344
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: the run. Well, this could set up Gino very well.

345
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: And we know he sacked a bunch of times last year,

346
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: but the Raiders and their offensive line struggled mightily. Well,

347
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: Gino's walking into a situation where any NFL executive would

348
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: tell you this Jets offensive line has very good pieces

349
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: and they're only going to get better.

350
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

351
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: Dylan parm was a good stigning, he's a good player.

352
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: He got hurt last year, missed some games. The backup

353
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: wasn't very good in there. You know, they had a

354
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 2: new standard. I mean, he's just a lot of changes,

355
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 2: you know that. You know had to deal with. But

356
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 2: Dylan's a good player, been a good player, ben a

357
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: starter since he got here. I think he was a

358
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: third round pick at a Memphis, but you know, he's

359
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 2: you know, they lost John Simpson, they lost Ali Vera Tucker.

360
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: All right, I think you could plug and play Dylan Palm.

361
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: I'm sure they'll draft another guy. They re signed Max Mitchell,

362
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 2: who's been a good insurance policy up there. But honestly,

363
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: you got to kind of build off what we saw

364
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: last year, and that was Josh Myers playing really well

365
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 2: at center, you know, and Tipman going to right guard,

366
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 2: you know, and then the rookie you know, played really

367
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 2: well at right tackle, you know, and so like they

368
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: had a lot of stability up there last year. They

369
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 2: got a chance to work together and you know, the

370
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: quarterback plays got to get a lot better. But you know,

371
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: I'm anxious to see them working right now with Steve

372
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 2: Hyde and the new offensive line coach and you know,

373
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 2: really kind of building the camaraderie that you got to have,

374
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 2: and Dylan's got to fit in there and whatever new

375
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 2: guys that they draft. Just building that camaraderie up front

376
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 2: and every phase of the game. Because that's where it's

377
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: all going to start for this team.

378
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Gino's walking into a situation where he's got

379
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: a number one running back behind him, and pre saw

380
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: the Jets still have time to work on that long

381
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: term extension.

382
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 4: They'd like to get that done.

383
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: And then you have a number one receiver and Garrett

384
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: Wilson and you're very high in and Ni Mitchell and

385
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,239
Speaker 1: the one power that he has, or one trait that

386
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: he has that stands out above the rust, is that

387
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: he can stretch the field. And Gino's gonna get people

388
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: the ball down the field. And I don't think the

389
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: Jets are done at the receiver position.

390
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd be surprised.

391
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 2: I mean just just I think they'll find a receiver

392
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: here in the draft, you know, and we'll see what

393
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: they end up doing. But regardless, I mean, you know,

394
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 2: Gino threw to a big time you know, a guy

395
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: that can get down the field and DK DK Metcalf,

396
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: you know, a big time X receiver there in Seattle,

397
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 2: you know, and that could win on the outside. And

398
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: so I think he's very comfortable making those kind of throws.

399
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: But you know, you need that, you need a guy

400
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 2: that can work the middle of the field. I'm anxious

401
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: to see Mason Taylor in the second year and how

402
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 2: he develops right now, because I think there's a lot there,

403
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 2: an awful lot there, and so I I think this

404
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: thing has a chance to really take off and not

405
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: like take off pretty fast. You know, you get a

406
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 2: running game, and you start getting some matchups, and you

407
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 2: start getting safeties dropping down, you stop your running game,

408
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 2: and you start getting some one on ones to the outside,

409
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 2: and you start moving Garrett around.

410
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 3: To get some matchups that you like.

411
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 2: Like, this thing could come together pretty quickly, especially with

412
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 2: the veteran quarterback and an offensive line that has, you know,

413
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 2: a lot of familiarity, although they're still young.

414
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: Speaking of quarterbacks, Baldy, we'd be remiss if we didn't

415
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: ask you about the recent trade reports are that Justin

416
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: Fields is going to Kansas y Chiefs and in return,

417
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: Darren Mougy got the Jets of twenty twenty seven to

418
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: six round pick.

419
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, Kansas City needs a backup quarterback,

420
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 2: you know, to to Patrick Mahomes. We don't know when

421
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 2: he's gonna be ready. It might be good for Justin.

422
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 2: I think they gave Justin a fair shot last year.

423
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 2: It just did not work out. I thought he was

424
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 2: an improving player coming out of Chicago and Pittsburgh and

425
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 2: we just didn't see that next step last year. And

426
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 2: so they got a six round pick for him. You know,

427
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 2: they're Kansas City's going to eat some of the salary,

428
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 2: so you know they're gonna pick up some The Jets

429
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 2: are gonna eat a little bit, which but not a lot.

430
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 2: It's not gonna just beat them up in the salary cap.

431
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: That's over three hundred million dollars this year. Like, I

432
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 2: think it's good they I think the Jets have to

433
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 2: look at the backup quarterback position right now. Gino largely

434
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 2: has been healthy, but I think they got to look

435
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 2: at the backup quarterback position, whether it's in the draft

436
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: or somebody shakes loose, or there's a trade mate or something.

437
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 2: I think I think the room's gonna add another quarterback

438
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: here before the start of the season.

439
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: Ball do you mentioned before Brian Duker coming over from Miami.

440
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: He is the new Jets defensive coordinator. Aaron Glenn's gonna

441
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: be calling plays this season. What do you make of

442
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: the way the Jets are reshaping this thing on the

443
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball since the beginning of the

444
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: league year, because we've seen there in move he do

445
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: this throughout his tenure so far. He's won the trade

446
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: route various times. And he strikes the deal with the

447
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: division rival with the Miami Dolphins, and brings in Mikah Fitzpatrick,

448
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: a guy who can be the quarterback of your secondary.

449
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 2: Well, Mink has been a good player in this league.

450
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: And you know, Brian was there. He was there coaching

451
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 2: the dvs. You know, in the safeties of minams. So

452
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 2: there's a there's a real familiarity with there, with the

453
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 2: way making plays. He can play any position in the secondary.

454
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 2: He can match up with tight ends, he can play

455
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 2: the free safety, he could be in the box. I mean,

456
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 2: Micon's just a football player. There was years in Pittsburgh. Honestly,

457
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 2: I don't know how he survived some of the hits

458
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 2: that he took, uh but he But he's a tough kid.

459
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 2: He's from you know, Jersey City, went to high school

460
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 2: right there. Family's from there. So it's kind of homecoming

461
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 2: for him. I'm sure he won't mind, you know. And

462
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 2: so I think that when you.

463
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 3: Look at you know, all the things that they're doing

464
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 3: right now.

465
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: There's there's you know there, there's familiarity with Maker, there's

466
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 2: familiarity with with Aaron Glenn. You know with Duker coaching

467
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 2: in Detroit with them. So you know, sometimes you don't

468
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 2: get the staff right your first time. You just don't.

469
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: You see teams make changes all the time. Sometimes you

470
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 2: just fill the staff out when you're just a first

471
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: time head coach and you take what's available, or you

472
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 2: think you know a guy, you don't really know them.

473
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 2: You get a reputation, you have a short interview and

474
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 2: you hire, and then you got you realize like, okay,

475
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 2: I need something different, and you can't be afraid to

476
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 2: make those changes. It happens quite a bit, and sometimes

477
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 2: you lose guys because they get plucked and you get upgraded,

478
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 2: and then sometimes you got to make changes. And so

479
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 2: he's bringing guys in that have familiarity, had been good

480
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 2: teachers in this league. And if you look at that

481
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphin team last year, they improved a great deal

482
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 2: the second half of the season. They did not have

483
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 2: the personnel to be a good defense to start the season.

484
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 2: I was down there in training camp, I was there

485
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 2: on the offseason, like the secondary was weak to start.

486
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 3: They added a lot of players to kind of round.

487
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 2: It it out and become more competitive, and they did as

488
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 2: the season went on.

489
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: I love Fitzpatrick's leadership, his intangibles, his versatility. He was

490
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: talking about how he can play the big nickel. Obviously

491
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: he's still got ranged. The guy has throughout his career

492
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: taking the football away. I know the numbers have been

493
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: down the past couple of years, but he wouldn't make

494
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: any excuses about it. But when you're talking about the Dolphins,

495
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: you look at their secondary. They were decimated by injuries,

496
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: especially early on in that year. So Fitzpatrick is the

497
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 1: kind of guy who would do anything for your team.

498
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: Speaking of guys who will do anything for your team,

499
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: the Mario Davis is.

500
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 4: Just like you, Baldy. He's ageless.

501
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: Man. How is he still doing it at this point

502
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: at thirty seven years old at the linebacker position. I mean,

503
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: in more than one hundred and forty tackles last year,

504
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: he was an all time saint. He's gonna be a

505
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: great mentor in the locker room, a community fixture. I mean,

506
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: if you need did a guy who you wanted to say,

507
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 1: who's his professionalism?

508
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 4: Tomorio Davis is him.

509
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 2: I mean literally played every single game for eight straight

510
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 2: years in New Orleans, you know, I mean he's been

511
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 2: an incredible, incredible he's an incredible person, very you know,

512
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 2: he's got his faith. You know, he's very very smart,

513
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 2: and he can still play at a very very high level.

514
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 2: I think this is his fifteenth year, obviously, third time

515
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 2: with the Jets. But you know, like, look, they're they're

516
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 2: turning things around in New Orleans and new coach and

517
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 2: new regime. They probably didn't want to lose Themario. They

518
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: end up signing a guy that they that they let

519
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: sign in free agency a couple of years ago, katan Ellis.

520
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 3: So he's going to go in there and play.

521
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 2: But when guys don't miss games and they don't get

522
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 2: hurt and they just know how to take care of themselves,

523
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 2: I mean that alone is a leadership quality. Like Okay,

524
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: whether it's the training room, in the office on the

525
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 2: off day, your day off, you're in there, you're already

526
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 2: getting ahead, looking at at Tate all those kind of

527
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 2: things like those those are little things that any young

528
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 2: player or any player are gonna look up to. I mean,

529
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 2: everybody that walks through the door and rubs elbows with

530
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 2: the Mario Davis. They're gonna get They're they're gonna know

531
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 2: they're around somebody special. He just has this this like

532
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 2: you've you've been around him already, Like he hasn't changed

533
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 2: at all. No, since his rookie year with the Jets,

534
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, he's been the same guy, same

535
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 2: believer in his faith, same believer in the game. All

536
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: he does is just working and commit and and prepare,

537
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 2: and then he goes out and just lets his play

538
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 2: do all the talking. I mean, he's he just had

539
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 2: eight straight years of one hundred tackles a year in

540
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 2: New Orleans, and last year I think he had the

541
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 2: most tackle he's ever had in.

542
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: The season ever. Yeah, yeah, it is incredible. Such a thumper.

543
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna prove the Jets run defense from day one.

544
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: And what do you make of some of those moves

545
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: up front? Mousie goes to trade route, he brings t

546
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: Paint in. We're watching your videos. Deve Andre Swift comes over,

547
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: he can play the nose. You gets some other pieces.

548
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: Joseph Asai, who played the last couple of seasons with

549
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. Osai had five sacks each of the

550
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: past two seasons. Then Kingsley Anigbari as well started his

551
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: career at the Green Bay Packers. So you're seeing some

552
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: uh you're seeing it come together up front, and maybe

553
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: can you talk about the philosophy you think that Glenn

554
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: is going to install on that defense.

555
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you know whether they're gonna be a

556
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 2: pure three to four or some multiple defense. I mean,

557
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 2: you talked about Harrison Phillip, David Anyamata, you know, t

558
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 2: Paint or to Fondre like you know, that's that's your

559
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 2: starting defensive front right there, you know, and now you

560
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 2: bring some pass rushers in Asai and Nigbari, you know,

561
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: to go with what you have in uh In McDonald

562
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 2: like you got You've got a front. You've got a

563
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: front right now. And the thing about on your madis

564
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 2: he's extremely strong. He's very strong at the point. You know,

565
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 2: I don't know that they ever really replaced John Franklin

566
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 2: Myers from one time he was here. Obviously he's been around,

567
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 2: just got paid again, but they need like he's just

568
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 2: very strong at the point. You got some young guys there.

569
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 2: I don't want to leave anybody out, but David on

570
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 2: your mout. I think had the most tackles he's ever

571
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: had in a season in his tenth year last year.

572
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 2: And you know, and so he's just he played with

573
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 2: the Mario in New Orleans. They've got familiarity with one another,

574
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 2: their friends. They're gonna you know, that will that will

575
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 2: spread throughout the locker room, their leadership, and you know,

576
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 2: he's just one of those guys that's very content doing

577
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 2: all the dirty stuff and all the little stuff that

578
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 2: needs to be done. So the linebackers can eat, the

579
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 2: pass rushers can get one on ones, but he can

580
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: he can win himself though too. He's very strong at

581
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 2: the point. And he's another guy that seems pretty agile.

582
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 2: He's missed very few games in ten years. So they

583
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 2: did their homework on guys that just have that ability

584
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 2: to stay healthy, you know, and have had longngevity right now,

585
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: and you know, the young guys Kingsley and Joseph said,

586
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 2: I kept waiting beside has been okay. He hasn't really

587
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 2: popped yet, but he's only going to his fourth year.

588
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 2: You know, he's still a very young guy coming out

589
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 2: of Texas. I think his future is still very very good.

590
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 2: And you know the talent that made him. I think

591
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 2: the third round pickt uh out of Texas is still

592
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 2: very much there and largely untapped, I believe.

593
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Jets clearly wanted to get older, have some

594
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: more veterans in there, some guys with leadership ability who've

595
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: experienced it across the board in the National Football League.

596
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: They certainly did this, did that in free agency. This

597
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: is a transformation right now as far as this roster

598
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: is concerned. The other thing, as we get out of

599
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: here at Baldy, it's like you're setting yourself up with

600
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: more options now as we look ahead to the draft.

601
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: It's middle of March, almost Saint Patrick's Day. Happy stands, Patrick,

602
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: stay to everybody out there. But again, you have that

603
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: two number two pick, you got the sixteenth old pick,

604
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: you got thirty three, you got forty four.

605
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 4: Overall, you got a boltload of.

606
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: Picks this year, and then you look ahead, you got

607
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: the boltload of picks in twenty twenty seven as well.

608
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: But the Jets roster is better, much better at this

609
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: point than the start of the league year, and it's

610
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: about to get better and younger coming up in the

611
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: draft as well.

612
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 2: I I gotta admit, I've got to add one other

613
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 2: player here, nay Sean Wright. Yeah, yeah, I mean just honestly, yeah,

614
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 2: he had you. No, He's a six foot four corn

615
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 2: all right. He can play any style you want to play.

616
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 2: The Chicago Bears, where he played last year, led the

617
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 2: league in interceptions and takeaways, and he was a huge

618
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 2: part of the huge part. In fact, if he doesn't

619
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 2: recover that loose ball fumble at the end of the

620
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 2: Washington game, they don't beat Washington. They might not, you know,

621
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 2: do what they did get into the playoffs. He was

622
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: a big part of that success last year. And I'm

623
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: telling you, I mean, I know, look, they traded Sauce away.

624
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 2: They got, you know, a bunch of picks for Like

625
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 2: when you watch n Shon Wright play, like he takes

626
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 2: the ball away, that's something you know, not to knock Sauce.

627
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 2: But you know he didn't get takeaways, he didn't get interceps.

628
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: This nayshon right, man, he gets takeaways now and he

629
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 2: can he.

630
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 3: Can line up. I put the film out there.

631
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: You put him against Jamar Chase or t Higgins or

632
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 2: something justin Jefferson, Like he'll go toe to toe with

633
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 2: these guys like he is a very very good and

634
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: experienced young player. I think he's going to really help

635
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 2: this defense out a lot.

636
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: He totally flew under the radar there in free agency

637
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: because when people were talking about great people were talking

638
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: about defensive backs. I'm glad you mentioned him because he

639
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: led the NFL and takeaways last season and people are

640
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: talking about well, Chicago was a good schematic fit for him.

641
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: I think Aaron Glenn knows exactly what he wants in

642
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: cornerbacks and he's long man. He's six four on the

643
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: outside and obviously he's got great instincts for the ball.

644
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 4: And that's the one thing that Jets have to do

645
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 4: this year.

646
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: We know we got to show her up on as

647
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: far as the Green and White is concerned, but they

648
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: got to take the football away. And he is a

649
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: guy who can take the football away. Fitzpatrick is a

650
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: guy who can take the football away. You get a

651
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: z Thomas back healthy. I really like what we saw

652
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: on the small sample size last year. So you're starting

653
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: to see it, man, you're starting to see it all

654
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: come together again.

655
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 4: It's all on paper right now. Everybody feels good.

656
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: But I think Darren Muji really had a nice game

657
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: plan coming into this and we're through the first couple

658
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: waves of free agency, and I think the Jets have

659
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: every reason to feel quite good.

660
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 2: Well, I think the other important thing here ea because

661
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: I think I mean, I'm looking around the league.

662
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 3: Everybody's looking for six foot four corn. He went to

663
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 3: the Jets.

664
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 2: Like a lot of people on the outside like, who

665
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 2: wants to go play for the Jets? Honestly, you know,

666
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 2: but you saw a lot of good players come to

667
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 2: Simon's the Jets free agency. You can go the highest bidder,

668
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 2: you can go to some place that you know, for

669
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 2: different reasons, Like they got a bunch of good players

670
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 2: that came and signed.

671
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 3: Dame.

672
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 2: Belton is a good player. He's your you know, he's

673
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 2: your he's your protector on funt team, Like he's an

674
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 2: excellent special team player. But he's been a versatile player

675
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: with the Giants since he got there, whether it's covering kicks,

676
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 2: covering punts, being a third safety, whatever it is, Like

677
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: he's been a good player. Like, you know, I think

678
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: it's important for people to realize that, you know, they

679
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 2: signed good players that had options out there.

680
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 3: They came to the New York Jets, so.

681
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 2: Between Aaron and Darren and mood to that group, like

682
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 2: they some of these guys feel pretty comfortable, like going, Okay,

683
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 2: let's be part of this turnaround once and for all,

684
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 2: right now.

685
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the other signing that happened really a couple

686
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: hours ago. I believe they agreed to terms with can

687
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: wo wo wo Wooh is this special team stalwart who

688
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: has five kickoff return touchdowns since twenty twenty one, only

689
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,479
Speaker 1: person in the National Football who's done that. I mean

690
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: you apparently Minnesota Vice. Yeah, right, so you got him back.

691
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: You got Isaiah Williams back. The Jets special teams were elite.

692
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: We know they got to get better on the defensive

693
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: side of the ball, on the offensive side of the ball.

694
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: But I think they went to free agency with, hey,

695
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: a clear vision. We gotta get guys who are gonna

696
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: help us on the field, help us inside the locker room,

697
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: and we need guys who are going to be older

698
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: because we're gonna have one of the younger rosters in

699
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: the league. And I think they've checked a lot of

700
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: boxes here. So it's an exciting time here for the Jets.

701
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: But now they got to move ahead. Finished free agency

702
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: ball and you know, we're gonna be talking about the

703
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: draft here in a couple of weeks.

704
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 4: Where where are the Jets going to two? Where they're

705
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 4: going to sixteen?

706
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: But Mosie's got a lot of options now because they

707
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: haven't they haven't dressed a lot of things here. They

708
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: have a lot addressed, a lot of boxes where okay,

709
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: you at ten boxes entered free agency and you're like, okay,

710
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: makeup Fitzpatrick, nay Sean Wright, the Mario Davis t well.

711
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 2: In one off season here in just in free agency

712
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 2: and what they've done so far since the end of

713
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 2: the season. They largely had a defense that was a

714
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 2: lot of practice squad players at the end of the season.

715
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 2: Now you've got a defense where you can see real

716
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 2: competition taking place at a lot of positions on that

717
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 2: defense right now. And so that's always a good sign

718
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 2: when you say, okay, like who is going to be

719
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 2: your starting safety, who is your starting corners? You know,

720
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 2: like who is going to be your rotation on the

721
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 2: defensive line. Like they've got real competition right now. That's

722
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 2: going to start this offseason out there, you know at

723
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 2: your facility.

724
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, Baldy, this is great man. What's next for you

725
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 4: you're going back down.

726
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 3: Literally, I got a.

727
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 2: List of the top one hundred players in this draft,

728
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 2: and I'm probably through the top fifty, probably have another

729
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 2: fifty to really study.

730
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 3: Here.

731
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 2: I'm just studying, getting ready for the draft, and listening

732
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 2: to different buddies of mine in this business. Tell me

733
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 2: about Hey, you gotta go watch this kid from Delaware.

734

Speaker 2: I'm looking at this kid fitting bros from Delaware today.

735
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 2: All right, he's a left guard for him. So I'm

736
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 2: just hearing names and plugging him in and watching them

737
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 2: and studying them and seeing what kind of qualities they

738
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 2: have to they could get drafted and where they might go.
