Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Official Jets podcast, Howard
Speaker 1: by Amazon Web Services, a very special edition of the podcast.
Speaker 1: Today he caught up with Joe Douglass one on one,
Speaker 1: talked about all things Jets free agency, looked ahead to
Speaker 1: the draft a little bit, and then Olivia land Is
Speaker 1: caught up with Brian Billick, who actually was a part
Speaker 1: of the Ravens when Joe Douglass was just entering the
Speaker 1: NFL in Baltimore, so he had some great things to
Speaker 1: say about Joe Douglass. E A how you hold it
Speaker 1: up now? On Tuesday in Floren Park doing real well? Greens.
Speaker 1: How about Joe Douglas and his career, Green says, first
Speaker 1: year in the National Football League two thousand and he
Speaker 1: became a champion with the Ravens. Talk about beginner's luck,
Speaker 1: but you know, obviously not beginners luck, considering Joe Douglas
Speaker 1: has three Lombardi Trophies, and real quick, before we head
Speaker 1: into the interview here, what can Jets fans expect out
Speaker 1: of this interview? I think they can expect Joe Douglas
Speaker 1: to be solid Joe d meaning he is exactly who
Speaker 1: people have said he is or was from the beginning
Speaker 1: when he was hired here last June. Green's guy is
Speaker 1: so respected throughout the National Football League, Comfortable in his
Speaker 1: own skin. He sets clear goals, he stays within those
Speaker 1: boundaries in terms of financial details, also what he's going
Speaker 1: to do. He's not going to go outside the plan.
Speaker 1: And he is also a consensus builder. He takes in
Speaker 1: all the information of people within the complex, and he
Speaker 1: is awfully happy about the staff he has at one
Speaker 1: Jets Drive. Couldn't say enough about the people who have
Speaker 1: helped keep this ship running here during a crazy time
Speaker 1: for everybody in the United States and the world. Alright, Well,
Speaker 1: without further ado, he there's Joe Douglas one on one.
Speaker 1: Joe does the world combats COVID nineteen and invisible Enemy
Speaker 1: the like we've never seen before. Frankly, what is your
Speaker 1: new normal? Eric? How you doing? Um? You know, it's
Speaker 1: uh it's been different. Excuse me. We uh you know,
Speaker 1: we having free agency and uh small crew in for
Speaker 1: the first week. Then we had the shelter in place
Speaker 1: rules coming in effect, and then everyone was working remotely.
Speaker 1: So um, thankfully, you know, we had you know, Tom
Speaker 1: Murphy and his staff and I t just did a
Speaker 1: tremendous job with making sure our communication and our our
Speaker 1: access to each other was gonna be on point. Ryan
Speaker 1: O'Hare and video. Our medical team has done an unbelievable
Speaker 1: job adjusting. So I think everyone's really come together adjusted well.
Speaker 1: We've been able to use technology to our advantage and
Speaker 1: be able to communicate and you know, stay on top
Speaker 1: of everything. How would you just score the philosophy entering
Speaker 1: free agency and now after you're through the initial wave
Speaker 1: or two way, I guess we would say, do you
Speaker 1: like what you've accomplished? Yeah. I think our philosophy going in,
Speaker 1: you know, when we talked when we talked to them
Speaker 1: the year, it was about out ultering sports and so
Speaker 1: to do that you have to have the right people.
Speaker 1: And so I think our game plan going in was
Speaker 1: that we're going to bring in a certain type of
Speaker 1: person and player. And I feel good about what we're
Speaker 1: able to do. Um not only not only the new
Speaker 1: additions that we've added, but also the players that we're
Speaker 1: able to bring back. You know, so I think I
Speaker 1: think all those guys have the right amount of smart
Speaker 1: football instincts, um competitiveness, versatility, and toughness, and so that
Speaker 1: we feel good about about the type of people we
Speaker 1: brought in. Uh, still a lot of work left to do. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, we're preparing for a huge draft with eight
Speaker 1: picks and four those in the top eighty, so there's
Speaker 1: still a lot of work to do, But feel good
Speaker 1: about where we're at. You just want on a call
Speaker 1: with the media and you said there's a shortage of
Speaker 1: quality offensive alignment in the National Football League and that's
Speaker 1: one area that you made an emphasis here heading into
Speaker 1: the offseason. Can you talk about some of the guys
Speaker 1: and the similar traits they have that you either brought
Speaker 1: in or resigned. Connor McGovern who's played center and guard
Speaker 1: in Denver, Greg Van roten Um most recently with the
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, of course, George pant who's been a versatile guy,
Speaker 1: who was a versatile guy, should say in Seattle playing
Speaker 1: left tackle and right tack. Well, Josh Andrews, m guy
Speaker 1: who probably helps your depth a little bit. And then
Speaker 1: Alex Lewis a player you traded for last year because
Speaker 1: he didn't want to let him get on waivers, but
Speaker 1: you resign him. Yeah, I think all those guys have
Speaker 1: a common trait and that they're they're versatile and flexible
Speaker 1: players in terms of they can play multiple spots. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, and you get you get in some games, Eric,
Speaker 1: and um, things can go against you injury wise. So
Speaker 1: you have to have you have to have a group
Speaker 1: of guys that can come in and play different roles
Speaker 1: in different spots. And yet you have to be smart
Speaker 1: to do it. You have to be athletic to do it. Um.
Speaker 1: And so I think all those guys we brought in,
Speaker 1: and including Alex who we traded for, they can all
Speaker 1: play multiple spots. Um, they all bring they all bring
Speaker 1: uh intelligence, they all bring toughness and competitiveness, and um,
Speaker 1: you know, we're we're we're excited to get all those guys.
Speaker 1: You know, Connor McGovern can play all three interior spots.
Speaker 1: Josh Andrews can play all three interior spots. Greg Van
Speaker 1: wrote and he can play all three interior spots. So, um,
Speaker 1: we've got guys that give us a lot of flexibility
Speaker 1: moving forward. Let's stand on the offensive side of the
Speaker 1: ball and go to the wide receiver position. You've talked
Speaker 1: about the need for surrounding Sam, not only just protecting
Speaker 1: him up front, but getting him some playmakers. What did
Speaker 1: you like about Brashotte Perryman because you're awfully familiar with
Speaker 1: him considering your days in Baltimore, you help scout Perryman,
Speaker 1: a University Central Florida product to the Ravens ultimately took
Speaker 1: in the first round back in two thousand fifteen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So scouting Brashad being as his pro day, UM, watching
Speaker 1: him and live run a four to two forty UM
Speaker 1: all impressive things, especially for his size. So UM obviously
Speaker 1: excited about Brashad. Um. You know he brings, he brings
Speaker 1: that that ability to take the top off the defense,
Speaker 1: really stretched the defense vertically and put a lot of
Speaker 1: pressure from defense. And a guy that's that's really grown
Speaker 1: throughout his his early career. UM. Obviously his trajectory UM,
Speaker 1: you know hasn't hasn't been uh um like every other players.
Speaker 1: But I think what you've seen from him and that
Speaker 1: the final part of this year and even when he
Speaker 1: won the back half of his year in Cleveland, you
Speaker 1: saw a guy that was explosive, that could work the
Speaker 1: middle of the field. UM, that could really really challenge defenses. UM,
Speaker 1: go up and high point the ball and really make
Speaker 1: big plays. So excited about the deck. The dynamic that
Speaker 1: he brings to our offense and can't wait for him
Speaker 1: to get gone and start building that chemistry with samp moving.
Speaker 1: How about before free agency started that you got you
Speaker 1: went to the street and picked up a former first
Speaker 1: round pick in Josh Doxton. What did you like about him?
Speaker 1: Maybe when you were scouting back in the day. Also, uh,
Speaker 1: when you saw him out there, why did you guys
Speaker 1: decide to take a flyer on him? Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: we're all very excited. I think our proach f you know,
Speaker 1: UM headed up by Chat Alexander, Greg Neshma. They did
Speaker 1: a great job really really all through free agency, but
Speaker 1: especially in this case after the after the season. Um,
Speaker 1: he was he was a guy that was on our
Speaker 1: radar and you know, having scouting him when he was
Speaker 1: coming out of TCU. UM. The thing that jumped out
Speaker 1: about Josh was his ability, his ability to get open
Speaker 1: and his ability to finish and catch the ball. I
Speaker 1: think you're talking about a guy with Josh. He's got
Speaker 1: a he's got a really big catch radius. So really,
Speaker 1: what I mean by that is, you know, if you
Speaker 1: if you were to take you know, just draw a
Speaker 1: big circle around his body. I mean, he can he
Speaker 1: can go get the ball at any point, you know. So,
Speaker 1: UM really really like what he brings from a ball
Speaker 1: scale prospective. So thinking you know that that could be
Speaker 1: a nice unsung addition, UM that that ends up paying dividends.
Speaker 1: So UM really, uh, hats off to our pro staff
Speaker 1: in terms of, you know, staying staying engaged with him.
Speaker 1: So let's flip to the funds aside the ball. How
Speaker 1: critical was it to get both Brian Pool and Jordan
Speaker 1: Jenkins back in the fold? Those are guys who really,
Speaker 1: if you look at it, they career years last year,
Speaker 1: Jordan Jenkins is increased his past production pass rush production
Speaker 1: and each of the first four professional seasons eight sacks
Speaker 1: last year and also key cog in your run defense.
Speaker 1: And then Brian Pool was a tremendous system fit under
Speaker 1: Greg Lilliams. Yeah, Brian maybe really excited to get both
Speaker 1: those guys back. UM, And you know, with a guy
Speaker 1: like Brian, he was a great addition and he really
Speaker 1: stabilized the nickel spot for us last year. UM. I
Speaker 1: think what he makes intelligence aspect um, is very very
Speaker 1: unique to the position. Um. You just talk about a god.
Speaker 1: It's got really good ball skills, really good awareness and
Speaker 1: route recognition, and then Jordan Jenkins, Um, and then what
Speaker 1: I would say on both these guys, these guys are
Speaker 1: are great culture guy's, great locker room guys. Um, they
Speaker 1: do everything the right way, they work hard. Um, they're
Speaker 1: they're ultra competitive, They're they're the right type of people.
Speaker 1: And so again I got like Jordan's you know, just
Speaker 1: really excited about Jordan being able to come back, and
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's poised to have another big year.
Speaker 1: And um, you know, I know, I know these guys
Speaker 1: are hungry. I know that they've got to they they
Speaker 1: they just uh naturally have chips on their shoulder and
Speaker 1: they can't they can't wait to get back out there
Speaker 1: and compete together. And UM, you know, we're we're really excited.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure I can speak for Greg and his
Speaker 1: staff and I know how excited they are to have
Speaker 1: those two guys back. Joe, speaking of culture, how much
Speaker 1: did assistant GM rex Hogan help you when it became
Speaker 1: official that Pierre Desier was released from the Colts. Of course,
Speaker 1: the three interceptions there last year in Indianapolis started eleven games,
Speaker 1: but perhaps his best professional season was two years ago,
Speaker 1: when Rex was with the Colts. Yeah, I think Pierre.
Speaker 1: I think Rex's knowledge of of Pierre the last few
Speaker 1: years in Indian talk about another player that's had an
Speaker 1: interesting career trajectory from starting at Lindenwood College in Missouri
Speaker 1: and the Cleveland Browns to UM, you know, developing into
Speaker 1: a legitimate starting corner in the National Football League and
Speaker 1: UM making the most of his opportunities. And this was
Speaker 1: a unique opportunity for us to to bring in a
Speaker 1: player UM that you know recently came available, that our
Speaker 1: assistant GM had had a strong knowledge of. UM. Who
Speaker 1: a guy again, another guy that is a top tier
Speaker 1: culture guy. He's gonna be a great fit in our
Speaker 1: locker room. And a guy that has UM very good instincts,
Speaker 1: route recognition, and ball skills. UM talk about catch radius
Speaker 1: with Josh Dos and I think Pierre brings that same
Speaker 1: type of catch radius from a corner standpoint. Yeah, how
Speaker 1: excited are you here now looking ahead to the rafts?
Speaker 1: Free agency isn't over and we know you're gonna explore
Speaker 1: every possible ab no one to improve this roster. But
Speaker 1: you mentioned it before. A word that keeps on coming
Speaker 1: to mind for me is you said flexibility. Flexibility in
Speaker 1: terms of the way you're financially getting this thing structured
Speaker 1: and also financially in the draft, because you have four
Speaker 1: picks in the top seventy nine overall, including that number
Speaker 1: eleven overall selection. Now very very excited about about those courts,
Speaker 1: those board picks, and you know, really all eight and
Speaker 1: you know we've I think where we are now, UM,
Speaker 1: really trying to build the base and the foundation and
Speaker 1: the depth of this team and bringing in the right
Speaker 1: type of people. UM. Now we're in position where we
Speaker 1: have to make every single one of these draft picks count. UM,
Speaker 1: And I know, I know the hard work that's already
Speaker 1: gone in with our scouting staff, our college scouting staff,
Speaker 1: and UM, really can't wait. And I know I know
Speaker 1: the hard work that's going on as we speak with
Speaker 1: our coaches. UM, you know, getting to know these players
Speaker 1: as best they can remotely on video conference and calls.
Speaker 1: So UM, I can't wait the gift and stop for
Speaker 1: our next round of draft meetings, even though they're going
Speaker 1: to be remote. UM, to go over there the guys
Speaker 1: that really get them excited and that they think and
Speaker 1: come in here and make a difference. UM. You know,
Speaker 1: because we've we've got to make the most of these
Speaker 1: eight picks. Yeah, and one thing you've continued to say,
Speaker 1: basically since you walked in the door was we have
Speaker 1: to do everything we kind of help Sam Donald progress.
Speaker 1: You don't want him to be under the fire you
Speaker 1: started address an offensive line, and you also want to
Speaker 1: surround him with explosive playmakers. And you you just said it,
Speaker 1: you said, we still have a lot of work to do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, we're always going to be on the hunt,
Speaker 1: and we're always going to be looking for uh, the
Speaker 1: right types of uh fit um from a from a
Speaker 1: to perspective and from a talent perspective, and so um,
Speaker 1: you know, we're we're always going to be looking for
Speaker 1: the right type of playmaker and the right type of
Speaker 1: uh offensive lineman, you know, and then the right type
Speaker 1: of defender for this team and so um and and
Speaker 1: also special teams you know. So, um, you know, We've
Speaker 1: we've got a lot of work to do. Um. You know, UM,
Speaker 1: we've got we have obstacles in our way, but I
Speaker 1: know we've got a group as a whole that's up
Speaker 1: to the task. And um, you know, no one no
Speaker 1: one's making excuses. Everyone's adjusting their improvising. UM, we're all
Speaker 1: coming together as a team and UM, I just can't
Speaker 1: wait for this draft to get going. Yeah. And two
Speaker 1: final questions here. You talked about Tom Murphy being one
Speaker 1: of your offseason m vps, of course a long time
Speaker 1: a long time head of information technology for the New
Speaker 1: York Jets. What what can you say about the football
Speaker 1: staff as a whole, the guys that you've worked with daily.
Speaker 1: Whether at the start of free agency it was you
Speaker 1: guys were working shoulder to shoulder, now it's over maybe
Speaker 1: Microsoft teams or Zoom. UM about your guys, the entire staff,
Speaker 1: the Rex Holgan's, the Chad Alexander's, UM, the Phil Savages.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Murph, you mentioned Ryan O'Hare. What what can
Speaker 1: you say about the staff and and the way you
Speaker 1: guys have been able to work during an adverse time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean these guys have really, UM done a tremendous
Speaker 1: job of communicating, being flexible, UM to all the changes
Speaker 1: that have gone on. UM, Dan's Biowski, who's our who's
Speaker 1: our personnel coordinator? Um, he's done a great job working
Speaker 1: in lockstep with Murph, UH, with Steve Piazza, with with
Speaker 1: Cappy over in I t um you know, on our
Speaker 1: on our system, changes, on our meeting formats. You know, Uh,
Speaker 1: we've we've got a great we've got a great group
Speaker 1: of people here, you know, a great staff and you know, um,
Speaker 1: there's no agendas. Everybody's just pulling in the same direction,
Speaker 1: you know, and that's the you know, put the best
Speaker 1: get to get the best players and putting the best
Speaker 1: product on the field. And everybody's you know, and it started,
Speaker 1: it really started since day one. And you really saw
Speaker 1: it in our first round of draft meetings with our
Speaker 1: scouting staff, and everybody has been able to kind of
Speaker 1: check their ego at the door. And you know, it's
Speaker 1: not it's not who's right, it's it's that we're right
Speaker 1: as a as a group and we bring in the
Speaker 1: right people and so um, you know, we're all we're
Speaker 1: all pulling, pulling the same direction. And I think I
Speaker 1: think everybody has been on board with that. And it's
Speaker 1: it's been it's been really really fun to watch. Yeah, finally,
Speaker 1: you've been so gracious with your time. Not only are
Speaker 1: you the general managers of the New York Jets, but
Speaker 1: you're a husband, you're a father of three. Uh, you
Speaker 1: have a world outside of football. Um, when you see
Speaker 1: a number of people who perhaps are Jets fans on
Speaker 1: fl fans the way the world's be impacted, but specifically
Speaker 1: this area, and um, you watch the folks on the
Speaker 1: front line, who who cheer you on and this cheer
Speaker 1: this organization on. The doctors, the nurses, UM, people who
Speaker 1: are just supporting us every day and things like that.
Speaker 1: What would you say to them right now? You know,
Speaker 1: I couldn't even begin to give my my personal um
Speaker 1: and and my personal gratitude enough to them. Um. Look,
Speaker 1: I mean all we have to do is is stay
Speaker 1: home and not you know, just not go out and
Speaker 1: and spread this virus. Um. You know, the people that
Speaker 1: are in in the medical field, UM, they're the ones
Speaker 1: that are having attacked us every day and and risk
Speaker 1: exposing themselves to this virus you know, no matter what age,
Speaker 1: create gender, um. And so the these these uh, these
Speaker 1: medical workers they're they're at every day and UM, you
Speaker 1: know they're the real heroes right right now. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: and all we have to do is stay at home
Speaker 1: and not uh and not getting their way and make
Speaker 1: their jobs any harder than it has to be. So UM,
Speaker 1: you know I can't I can't thank him enough for
Speaker 1: for what they're doing. Well, said Joe, And we appreciate
Speaker 1: your time, and uh, we're wishing your family, uh great
Speaker 1: luck here and hopefully we'll be able to see it
Speaker 1: back at the office soon, but until then, we'll keep
Speaker 1: on working from home. And uh again, thanks and we'll
Speaker 1: talk like you. Thanks. Eric. Just a couple of things
Speaker 1: after listening to that interview. If you're a Jets fan,
Speaker 1: how are you not encouraged by having Joe Douglas as
Speaker 1: your general manager? I mean, he seems so down to
Speaker 1: earth and to your point, he seems exactly who the
Speaker 1: Jets thought they were getting back in June. I mean
Speaker 1: he starts off your interview by shouting out Tom Murphy
Speaker 1: from I T And it might seem like such a
Speaker 1: small gesture, but I feel like at not something so common,
Speaker 1: and it just speaks to how good of a person
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas is. Yeah. He's a humble guy. He's team oriented,
Speaker 1: he has a plan, he's going to stick to it.
Speaker 1: He loves the people that are here with him. Um,
Speaker 1: he has a vision. He wants to build the best
Speaker 1: culture and professional sports. He's been saying that for a
Speaker 1: while now. The guys he target and free agency. They
Speaker 1: all had similar characteristics, position, flexibility. A lot of those
Speaker 1: guys up front, but everybody brought in they love football,
Speaker 1: tough guys, tenacious, and you're gonna have to be that
Speaker 1: to be a New York Jet. So when you're looking
Speaker 1: at some of these guys in the draft, now you
Speaker 1: can weed out some players that are not Joe Douglas
Speaker 1: type players. All right, well quickly, and let's now transition
Speaker 1: into Olivia's interview with Brian Billick. Brian, I want to
Speaker 1: quickly ask you what kind of potential did you see
Speaker 1: in a young Joe Douglas back then? You know when
Speaker 1: someone comes into the organization and Ozzie knewso at the time,
Speaker 1: Phil Savage, Erica Costa have done a great job I
Speaker 1: have done for a long time bringing young talent that
Speaker 1: we would roll through obviously mentor they would grow within
Speaker 1: the system. And Joe from the get go, you knew
Speaker 1: this was a guy. He was a hustler. He worked hard.
Speaker 1: He was a grinder, which you have to be able
Speaker 1: to do. It was like, whatever task you need for
Speaker 1: me to do, I'll do it. You know. So when
Speaker 1: when I knew Joe, he was just beginning. Uh, It's
Speaker 1: it's fascinating to see him as a general manager now
Speaker 1: because you kind of, you know, you kind of think
Speaker 1: of people as you originally interacted with him. When I
Speaker 1: started with Bill Walsh, I was assistant director of public relations,
Speaker 1: and even after a Super Bowl, I think Bill probably
Speaker 1: always kind of thought of me as just his assistant
Speaker 1: PR guy. So, you know, sometimes that's the way it falls.
Speaker 1: But Joe was great. Joe was hard working, and you
Speaker 1: knew that he was going to work his way up
Speaker 1: and be in a position like he is now. You
Speaker 1: mentioned Ozzy knew some What exactly do you think he
Speaker 1: took away from a person like him, or what kind
Speaker 1: of traits could he have learned from Ozzy? Ozzy is
Speaker 1: a great listener. He did a great job of taking
Speaker 1: a lot of input, empowering everybody around him. Scout coach,
Speaker 1: assistant coach, everybody in the organization had to say they interacted,
Speaker 1: interacting constantly with one another, and Ozzie fostered that and
Speaker 1: would kind of sit back and listen to it all.
Speaker 1: So I imagined Joe took a great deal from that
Speaker 1: watching how Ozzy utilized all the talent around him as
Speaker 1: opposed just thinking, yeah, I got all the answers, and uh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna take who. I want to say, Well, now
Speaker 1: that we have seen Joe Douglas in action, which of
Speaker 1: those traits have you seen him already implement into his decisions? Well,
Speaker 1: I think, like you learned from Ozzy knew someone was
Speaker 1: always our case in Baltimore. Ozzie always strongly believed that
Speaker 1: you tried to address the things in free agency. Didn't
Speaker 1: have to be a huge splash, but addressed the needs
Speaker 1: and free agency so that it left you to take
Speaker 1: the best player available in the draft. Need is a
Speaker 1: terrible evaluator, and to go into the draft with such
Speaker 1: an overpowering need that it possibly works your analysis of
Speaker 1: a player, maybe pull someone up further up the board
Speaker 1: that you normally would have them only because there is
Speaker 1: such a need. So you can see what they're doing
Speaker 1: with some of the offseason acquisitions, that they're filling in
Speaker 1: some of these needs that should leave them some latitude.
Speaker 1: You look at tackle, you know, obviously with George Phanton,
Speaker 1: then what they've done in the receiving corps two areas
Speaker 1: that need to be addressed. These areas, obviously can still
Speaker 1: be addressed early in the draft, because offensive tackle and
Speaker 1: wide receiver both seem to have some options for them
Speaker 1: at number eleven, but they don't have to do that
Speaker 1: given some of the things that they've done in free agency.
Speaker 1: Brian we already mentioned a few moves that Joe Douglas
Speaker 1: has made. What other moves do you anticipate him making
Speaker 1: this offseason? Well, you know, the next move obviously is
Speaker 1: in the draft, and and and New York because one
Speaker 1: of those teams, certainly you need to wrap as much
Speaker 1: around Sam Donald as you can. He's gonna be your franchise.
Speaker 1: You put that kind of value on him when you
Speaker 1: drafted in uh, your number one pick at quarterback. You've
Speaker 1: got to give him every opportunity to be successful. That
Speaker 1: needs protecting him. He's got a great running back and
Speaker 1: lady on Bell. He's got a decent core of receivers.
Speaker 1: I would say they need another big impact receivers, So
Speaker 1: a wide receiver might not be off the board at
Speaker 1: number eleven. But that's kind of interesting too, because as
Speaker 1: as flashy as wide receivers are early in the draft,
Speaker 1: it's a much tougher transition from college into the NFL.
Speaker 1: At wide receiver than a lot of people think. You
Speaker 1: look at other positions, you think there's a lot more
Speaker 1: integration the skill set and receiver hack. If he's passing,
Speaker 1: is big and it can run, they'll do well in
Speaker 1: the NFL. But dealing with the increased talent in the
Speaker 1: secondaries in the NFL, dealing with the speed, recognizing that,
Speaker 1: you know, a window in the NFL is much smaller
Speaker 1: than it is in the college game, so that impact receiver.
Speaker 1: Although typically um you need to go in the first
Speaker 1: round and get one of those types of guys, it
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily translate right in the first year. Brian Billick
Speaker 1: worked very close with Joe Douglass from two thousand two
Speaker 1: thousand and seven they won a Super Bowl Championship together.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for coming on and giving some
Speaker 1: of your input on Joe. I really appreciate it to
Speaker 1: do it great here from Brian Billa. Great insight on
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas. Of course, as we said earlier, Billick knows
Speaker 1: Joe from when Joe was in his twenties working with
Speaker 1: the Ravens. And that was another edition of the Official
Speaker 1: Jets Podcast powered by Amazon Web Services d A and
Speaker 1: I back tomorrow with NFL draft scout that is Matt
Speaker 1: Miller of Bleacher, of court yea
