Speaker 1: on today's podcast, breaking down the first day of free agency.

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: The Jets officially made a couple of moves over the

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: past couple of days, releasing Truemaine Johnson, and then we'll

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: also talk about the of the reports out there because

9
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: it's a very interesting time in the NFL landscape. No

10
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 1: team is allowed to technically tweet anything out, so it's

11
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: it's a lot of reported lys and the Jets reportedly

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: resigned Brian Pool and the Jets also didn't tender a

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: couple of players. Will talk about that, and then we'll

14
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: just kind of look at day one of free agency.

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: This was the first day of the new league year,

16
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: and we'll break down some moves across the league. Olivia

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: Landis talked to ESPN pre and postgame o Stan Graza

18
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: about the moves in terms of the Jets, and then

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: to wrap up the show, we'll take a look at

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 1: the a f C East landscape and what teams have done,

21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: some new faces, some old faces departing. And with that

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: e A, let's just start things off by how are

23
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: you doing in Florham Park and enjoying the quarantine? What

24
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: are you doing to keep yourself busy? These greens? How

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: of an introduction and we hope everybody is safe out there.

26
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: Please follow all the guidelines um right now. But unfortunately

27
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: for me and you, we can talk a little bit

28
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: about football every night here, and it seems like free

29
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: agency has been going on for seven days, but this

30
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: is actually the beginning of the league year and it's

31
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: about eight forty Wednesday night, so the league yere began,

32
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: which means the free agency and training period is actually

33
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: officially commenced at four pm. But I would put the

34
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: disclaimer out there. I know a lot of fans are

35
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: asking throughout the league why aren't teams acknowledging certain quote

36
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: unquote signings while a lot of these guys have not

37
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: been signed, Because we're living in a world where NFL

38
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: clubs aren't bringing any free agent players to their facilities.

39
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: Greens and club personnel, including members of medical staff, are

40
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: not traveling to locations to meet or conduct physicals, and

41
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: the physicals are very important pieces when you are citing

42
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: a new player and even in some cases when you're

43
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: trying to get a look at a player just finished

44
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: up with you in January. So unfamiliar terrain for all

45
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: of us right now. But I'm doing wild greens. Like

46
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: I said, um, I'm happy to talk Jets football with

47
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: you every night, and you know, we do have a

48
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: lot of news that continues to sprinkle in and as

49
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas continues to reshape and build this roster. Yeah,

50
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm very thankful that at the end of my day

51
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: I can talk about some football because honestly, staying inside

52
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: all day is not my forte. I think you and

53
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: I are similar in that like to get out the

54
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: active and you know, even when we're at the office,

55
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: I like to walk around, as you say, make make

56
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: my rounds. I can't make my rounds head anymore. My

57
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: rounds are consistent of phone calls and you know, finding

58
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: things to do around my apartment. So but without further ado,

59
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: let's dive into some Jets football like you alluded to.

60
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: And Tremaine Johnson was officially released by the New York

61
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: Jets earlier today, and I don't think this was surprising

62
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: in the eyes of the external media. I think it

63
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: was something that a lot of people expected. And this

64
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: really leaves the Jets corners in an interesting spot just

65
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: by a numericles adpoint. And I know that it's free agencies,

66
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: So Joe Douglas and his staff are gonna continuously add

67
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: all these players. But right now the Jets are pretty

68
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: thin at the position on their roster. They only have one, two, three,

69
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: four corners officially under contract heading into Yeah, that's right. Uh.

70
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: Dremaine Johnson, Uh, disappointing time here. I think he would

71
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: probably tell you the last two years were tough for

72
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: him and the Jets. I think under the previous regime

73
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: thought they would be getting more production out of that spot.

74
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: As it is, two years, seventeen games, five interceptions, four

75
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: of them were in that first year with the Green

76
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: and White, and seven past defenses. He wasn't able to

77
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: stay healthy last year either, only seven games. But I

78
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: don't think there was any surprise out there. I think

79
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people when looking at the financial ramifications

80
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: at Johnson deal Greens, when you say that this was

81
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: a deal that was most expected, yeah, I agree with that.

82
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: And just where do you think, well, where do you

83
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 1: think this leads the Jets though? Moving forward? Because it

84
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: was reported earlier today that the Jets had resigned Brian Poole,

85
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: who had a great year starting in the nickel for

86
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: Greg Williams and the defense. But it's even let's say

87
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: in this, in this uh situation that we're talking about,

88
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: Brian pool is on the roster. I mean, the Jets

89
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: still need to add a couple of bodies to this team,

90
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: whether that be through free agency, through trade, through the draft.

91
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: But right now, like I said, only four guys under

92
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: contract heading into bless Austin, Nate Harriston, Kymon Brown, and

93
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: Darryl Roberts. Now, Roberts is a guy that brings versatility

94
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: because over the last couple of seasons, we know he's

95
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: come in and stepped in for you at the cornerback position,

96
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: but also he's got the ability in a inch to

97
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: go back and play safety. Now, Joe Douglas and company

98
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: have to decide is Darryl Roberts two. I hate to

99
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: get into the numbers game, but uh or is he

100
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: a four? Because typically you're talking about one. Is you

101
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: your shutdown guy who's gonna mark the opposition's top perceiver

102
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: outside the boundary, right, then two would be as complimentary

103
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: piece across the other way in your three, which I

104
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: always consider a starter in the National Football League because

105
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: you play base packages so much, the way teams implement

106
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: through offensive personnel is one of your most important positions.

107
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: That's why. And we'll get into this here in a second.

108
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: The Pool resigning was a monster um resigning for Joe

109
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: Douglas because that's a guy who's got the physicality of

110
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: a safety. He could cover like a cornerback. Uh. I

111
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: don't want to steal your thunder on Pool because a

112
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: lot of folks reply that believe Adam Schafter was the

113
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: first to report today agreement in principle to stay here

114
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: with the Green and White for a second consecutive season.

115
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: But when you think about these names, Bless Austin, Nate Harrison,

116
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: Kyron Brown, and they four mentioned Darryl Roberts Austin as

117
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: a guy who came in. He showed some flashes at times,

118
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: a really young guy out of Rutgers who missed that

119
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: final year there. But uh yeah, you're gonna have to

120
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: add pieces on the outside, no doubt about that. And

121
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fascinating to see where this goes. Right now,

122
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: Green's yeah, and I just want to touch on a

123
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: couple of these guys. Let's start with Darryl Roberts. This year,

124
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: he played in thirteen games, he started ten of them.

125
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: He had a career high sixty three tackles, six pass defenses,

126
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: and one interception, and he was somebody to your point,

127
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: he was the Jets number two corner opening day against

128
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo i Met Life Adium, and moving forward, I think

129
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: one of the things that's interesting, and I don't know

130
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: how the coronavirus or COVID is affecting any of this,

131
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: but Darryl Roberts was one of those guys where a

132
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: lot of the salary cap websites and external media thought

133
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: that he could be a potential salary cut just for

134
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas to save money and increase the cap so

135
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: he could spend money elsewhere. And right now, the only

136
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: release that Joe Douglas has made has been Truemaine Johnson,

137
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: and just looking at the rest of the guys on

138
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: the roster, I wanted to touch on Pool because when

139
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: you look at his stats, he started in a career

140
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: high ten games for the Jets this season, but his

141
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: numbers weren't career numbers. But I think it's safe to

142
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: say that he had the best year of his career.

143
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: I mean, do you feel like I didn't watch every

144
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: Falcons game when he was there, but I would say

145
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: it's safe to say that he was the best he's

146
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: ever been since signing with the Falcons as an undrafted

147
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: free agent out of Florida. When you said he was

148
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: an arguably the Jets top cornerback last year, you can't

149
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: make any other argument than that, um any you know, again,

150
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: at times he'd come up there and he'd set the edge.

151
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: It was almost like he had an extra linebacker in there.

152
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: And when you paired him up, I know they played

153
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: different positions, but when you have a nickel like that

154
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: and then as safety like Jamal Adams, this becomes a

155
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: really tough unit to run against, because not only are

156
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: those big uglies up front taking care of business and

157
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: winning their battles at the line of scrimmage, but the Jets,

158
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: uh their defensive backs will come up and hit you.

159
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: And right now, if you're a fan, you're looking at

160
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: it here on March eighteenth, and you're saying I'm really

161
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: comfortable where I am secondary wise, three fits of the

162
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: secondary right now, because I have perhaps the best safety

163
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, Jamal Adams. I have safety

164
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: in Marcus May, who has tremendous range, who played all

165
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: sixteen games last season, who I thought was playing his

166
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: best ball, perhaps of his career towards the end of

167
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: his sophomore campaign. And now you took care of the

168
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: nickel position by bringing Pool back. The questions remain at

169
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: outside cornerback. Yeah, and Brian Pool was the seventh rated

170
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: or c graded out seventh in the NFL of cornerbacks

171
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: all corners, not just slot players that have played at

172
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: least of the team's defensive snaps by Pro Football Focus.

173
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: So clearly he had a good year for the Jets.

174
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: End to your point, I think my favorite Brian Pool

175
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: play from this past year wasn't the pick six, but

176
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: it was the safety in Week one where he absolutely

177
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: flattened Frank Gore at the goal line. I'm pretty sure

178
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: Marcus May came in and cleaned up. But regardless, this

179
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: has been reported that he's been or that he resigned

180
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: with the Jets, and I think we're both in agreement

181
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: that Douless. Yeah, I agreed to terms. And and the

182
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: money we don't we don't talk about the money here

183
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: on Official Jets podcast, but the money being thrown around

184
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: right now, uh for pool and considering the contributions you

185
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: got from him last year, you gotta love this deal. Um.

186
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: Good for Joe Douglas, good for Greg Williams, and good

187
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: overall for the Jets defense. That remember they finished number

188
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: seven in the National Football League overall defensively last year

189
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: and so and there were also number two against the run.

190
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: And really quickly before we uh here from Olivia Landis

191
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: who caught up with Dan Broso, like I said earlier,

192
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about some guys that this this

193
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: really didn't go on the radar, but today I'm pretty sure.

194
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: Was the deadline to tender any restricted free agents, and

195
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: the Jets restricted free agents where James Burgess, Arthur Mallette

196
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: and Bennett Jackson. And basically what teams can do is

197
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: tender a player. So in theory, if you slap a

198
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: like last year, the Jets placed a second round tender

199
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: on Robby Anderson, meaning if a team signed Robby Anderson

200
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: to a contractor they had to sign it on a

201
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: sheet the Jets could one match or two they get

202
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: a second round pick and return. Well, the Jets did

203
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: not tender any of those players, being James Burgess, Arthur

204
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: Milette Bennett Jackson, making those three guys unrestricted free agents.

205
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: And would you consider this a surprising movie a considering

206
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: James Burgess and Arthur Millette were really two staples of

207
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: this defense moving forward or at the end of the

208
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: season last year, and they were also starters at the

209
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: end of last year for a handful of games. I

210
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: would say, uh, no on Burgess, you know why the c. J.

211
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: Mosley didn't play last year? He get what he got,

212
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: gave you two plus quarters of fabulous ball against the

213
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and then he wasn't himself when he tried

214
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: to make a valiant return against the New England Patriots.

215
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: You're gonna get a knock on wood a hundred percent

216
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: c J. Moseley back next season. He is one of

217
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: the top inside linebackers in football. Uh maybe he will

218
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: rise to the throne overall because there's no Luke Kickley anymore. Um,

219
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: we'll have to see what happens there. Avery Williamson still

220
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: under contract. And remember Blake Cashman, who played for you

221
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: last season before he went out, he showed some things

222
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: and I think he especially can help and coverage situations.

223
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: So that top three inside linebacker, UM, if those are

224
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: indeed the trifecta, I think that's a solid group. I

225
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: would give a lot of props to Burgess for not

226
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: only the way he played last year, but Greg Williams,

227
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: because Burgess is not a big inside line linebacker by

228
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: any means, Greens. I don't know what he played at

229
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: last year and what he was listed at, but that

230
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: is not a monster guy, and he became a tackling

231
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: machine for the Jets. So good job by Greg Williams

232
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: last year, and good luck to James Burgess. UM did

233
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: some very nice things here for the Jets. The one

234
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: guy that did catch my eye out of all of

235
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: them you did mention was Arthur Mollott, interesting played with

236
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints came over. I thought he did

237
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: some decent things. But again, you gotta make decisions that

238
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: are best for your ball club ultimately, and Joe Douglas

239
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: is doing that right now. So that doesn't mean Um Molett,

240
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: you couldn't circle back at him way down the line

241
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: or down the line, and after you see what happens

242
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: in free ancy. But that was the only guy that Yeah,

243
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: I don't think I raised my eyebrows about. I would

244
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: say I didn't have any no true surprises there. But

245
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: there's some guys that gave us contributions last year and

246
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna be players in the National Football League, and

247
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: you're talking about guys who ultimately are gonna be playing

248
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: reserve roles or somewhere greens. Yeah, I agree with that.

249
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that the Jets were so injury

250
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: bitten last season that guys like James Burgess and Arthur Malett,

251
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: like that's how they found their way onto the field.

252
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: And I think they played well at the end of

253
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: last season. But I do think that it's one of

254
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: those circumstances where had the Jets been healthy all year,

255
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: you can't I can't say. I can't sit here and

256
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: say that those two guys would have found their way

257
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: into the starting lineup just because of the way they played.

258
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean, both those guys were practice squad players at

259
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, and you know that. I

260
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: think that's really all the news right now in Jets

261
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: Land and um now, I think it's a good time.

262
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: Olivia land Is caught up with Dan where Asa and

263
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: they talked all things Jets too. So let's take a

264
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: listen to what they had to say about the New

265
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: York Jets and free agency. Thanks Ethan any A, Let's

266
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: dive right into some Jets free agency news. There have

267
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: been some reports out there that the Jets did agree

268
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: to terms with guard Alex Lewis. How important was it

269
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: to resign a player who already has familiarity with Adam

270
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: Gaze and this system and honestly had a very good

271
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: outing in a year he wasn't even expected to be

272
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: a starter, right, and then has familiarity with Joe Douglas

273
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: most importantly, right from their Baltimore days together there, and um,

274
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: you know, Alex Lewis is a is a valuable piece

275
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: here and and maybe league wide, maybe they look at

276
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: this news and say, well, Alex Lewis, But anybody who

277
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: follows the team like you and I do, Olivia, and

278
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: we watch every game and we're in the locker room,

279
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: we're talking to these guys. Alex Lewis was not only

280
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: a very very solid contributor for them on the field

281
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: last year, but also in that locker room as well,

282
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,479
Speaker 1: and that reflected well on the coaches. They realized how

283
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: valuable his presence was in that room. I mean just

284
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: getting the opportunity to get to know him on a

285
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: one on one basis. Last year you could probably say

286
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: the same thing. He's a very good guy in that room,

287
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: very team oriented, really brings a good positive vibe. And

288
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: he's a heck of a football player too. When you

289
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: think about you're right. He came in late during the

290
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 1: summer last year and a trade was thought to be

291
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: really nothing more than a depth piece, but then all

292
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: the injury started on the offensive line and he got

293
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: pressed into duty. And when he's slipped into that left

294
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: guard position, you can make the case that the offensive line,

295
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: at least on that left side, played a little bit better.

296
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: And I think he was very, very solid. So the

297
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: fact that he comes back here, that's a position now

298
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: out of those five on the offensive line. If you're

299
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: the Jets, you say, Okay, we feel good about what

300
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: we have at left guard. We feel comfortable about sending

301
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: Alex Lewis out there. Yeah, and I would agree with

302
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: you too. How he has a presence inside that locker

303
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: room He's a great guy. Every time I've interacted with him,

304
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: he's been phenomenal. So, like you said, I think it

305
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: was a good, smart signing on Joe Douglas's part, especially

306
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: providing so much emphasis on the offensive line. And we'll

307
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 1: circle back to the offensive line, but I want to

308
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: now move on to another move that the team officially announced,

309
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: and that was releasing cornerback Truemayne Johnson. There had been

310
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: some rumors floating around for a while that this was

311
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: going to happen, but the Jets made it official today.

312
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: What were your initial thoughts when you saw that. I

313
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: gotta be honest with Olivia, I'm not really that surprise.

314
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: You know, we kind of heard rumblings that this was

315
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: the direction the franchise was gonna go, which remain because

316
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, everybody talks about the large contract he was

317
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: given in free agency a couple of years ago. That's

318
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: all well and good, but you know, the production just

319
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: didn't match up with it. And I know that you

320
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: can say it's only two years, but you know, there's

321
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: an old saying that the best ability for a player

322
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: is availability, and Truemaine Johnson wasn't even on the field

323
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: as much as you would want somebody on the field

324
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: that's playing in all in iportant position like cornerback and

325
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: what they entrusted him with when they brought him in

326
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: here as a free agent from the Rams. Now, um

327
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: the problem with that is is that they still have

328
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: a need that they have to fill. It's not so much, well,

329
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: you know, the savings that you get from releasing Truemaine Johnson,

330
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: what it does for your salary cap and that sort

331
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: of thing. Yeah, that's all well and good, but also, now,

332
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: who are you going to get to fill that void?

333
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: You know, they are thin at cornerback and that was

334
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: something that they were going into this process here during

335
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: the off season. Now, I know that there's still some

336
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: players out there to be had, and I know that

337
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: the draft is still you know, a month away, and

338
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: they can fill some needs there. But that would be

339
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: my overall level of concern right now, not so much

340
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: that Trumaine Johnson didn't live up to the expectations that

341
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: the organization had for him, is that who were they

342
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: now going to get to step in and lock down

343
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: some of those cornerback positions. You know, Bless Austin was,

344
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, showed some glimpses last year when he was

345
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: finally activated off of the publist there and he flashed

346
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: some ability and you have some some hopes for him

347
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: and other guys like that, but somebody's gonna have to

348
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: step up because you know that in the NFL, the

349
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: past happy league that has become, you need guys that

350
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: can cover Dan. You mentioned some holes that the Jets

351
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: need to fill. I now want to quickly jump into

352
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: some reports, some rumors that have been reported by analysts

353
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: around the league. We already mentioned cornerback position. It's been

354
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: reported that the Jets have come to agreement in principle

355
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: with cornerback Brian Pool. They've also come to it has

356
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: been reported that they have come to agreement in principle

357
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: with offensive aligneman's both George Fan and Connor McGovern. When

358
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: you look at those three overall free agent signings, what

359
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: are some of your initial thoughts on, first the offensive

360
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: line additions and how that can help what Joe Douglas

361
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: is trying to build, and then Brian Pool coming back

362
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: possibly into the mix. Yeah, all very good signings. I

363
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: like them a lot here, and you know, starting the

364
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: offensive line, you knew that if you had to pick

365
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: one particular area on this football team Olivia going into

366
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: the off season that the Jets had to address. It

367
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,479
Speaker 1: was the offensive line. We know that Joe Douglass, being

368
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: an old offensive lineman himself, he knows and he said

369
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: as much that games are one and lost in the trenches,

370
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: and that was something the Jets had to address. You

371
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: look at a guy like George Fan. Maybe the average

372
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: Jet fan doesn't know too much about him because he

373
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: was a guy who played for the Seattle Seahawks all

374
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: the way out on the other side of the country

375
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: in another conference. He was a basketball player at Western Kentucky.

376
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: But he had all the intangibles. He has great athletic ability,

377
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: and he got himself uh into being a starting caliber

378
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 1: offensive lineman for the Seattle Seahawks, you know. So he

379
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: has the experience there. And the thing that I like

380
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: about it is that he has upside. And I think

381
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: that Joe Douglass and the Jets coaching staff also can

382
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: see that there's upside with this guy. Now, gotta mc governed.

383
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: Guy they picked up from the Denver Broncos here. Uh.

384
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: He's a guy who again has been durable. He's played

385
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: virtually almost every he snapped the last couple of years.

386
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: The thing you like about him, with all the experience

387
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: that he's garnered the last few seasons, is that he

388
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 1: has been very, very rarely penalized, which is never what

389
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: you want to have happened for any of your offensive lineman.

390
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: So he plays a clean game, he plays an effective game,

391
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: and he's a guy that you know what, there's your

392
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: center and Connor mcgoverned. Guests, he has flexibility, can also

393
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: play some guard as well, but it seems as if

394
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: the Jets have eyes on him being their starting center

395
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: and Olivia. When you look back at this franchise for

396
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: the last couple of decades, the center position was almost

397
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: an embarrassment of riches for them. They were spoiled because

398
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: for the better part of almost twenty years, the center

399
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: position was held down by two guys, Kevin Mai who

400
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 1: became a Hall of Famer and Nick Mangold, who became

401
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: an all time Jet great. Here and certainly in the

402
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: conversation maybe from the Hall of Fame, Yeah, they've had

403
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: some change at that all important position, but hopefully now

404
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: they've got it right here with Connor McGovern Yeah, you

405
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: made some really good points there. We'll have to see

406
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: in the coming days of free agency if the Jets

407
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: are going to make anything official. Till again, those were

408
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: just some rumors that have been announced by some of

409
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: the analysts around the league. But again, happy NFL League,

410
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: New Year. It's been super awesome to have you. Thank

411
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: you so much for coming on and answering a couple

412
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: of questions. But before you go, I can't let you

413
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: leave without asking you about how you are reacting to this.

414
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady not only not being in the the East anymore,

415
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: so the Jets don't have to face him twice a

416
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: year anymore, but he might possibly be going to the

417
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Yeah, that seems to be the word

418
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: on the street, Olivia, and I think that a lot

419
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: of Jet fans are probably throwing a party because for

420
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 1: the better part of the last twenty years he's tortured them,

421
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: along with all other teams in the National Football League

422
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: on a pretty regular basis. But of course being a

423
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: division rival, I mean the Patriots body of work. Tom

424
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: Brady's body of work speaks for itself for what he's accomplished.

425
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: He is the winning his quarterback in the history of

426
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: the National Football League So yeah, on paper, you look

427
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: at the new England Patriots and say they might not

428
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: be as formidable as they were with Tom Brady. But

429
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: the thing you got to remember is that Bill Belichick

430
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: is still there and he's arguably the greatest coach we've

431
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: ever seen in this game, and he's gonna go out

432
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: there and he's still gonna put together a very good

433
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,959
Speaker 1: football team. And remember two thousand and eight, Tom Brady

434
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: went down with an injury and Week number one, Patriots

435
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: still won eleven and five that year without Tom Brady,

436
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: So they're gonna have something in place, and you know

437
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: that Belichick is gonna have a plan in place to

438
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: where they're gonna be a very good football team. But yeah,

439
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: if you're a Jet fan, if you're a Bill fan,

440
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: if you're a Dolphin fan, just those teams that you

441
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: go head to head with the Pats within that division

442
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: year in a year out, you probably do see at

443
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: least a glimmer of opportunity for you. But still you

444
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: gotta go out there and win the games on Sundays.

445
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: Al Right, So that was Live and Dan Graze up

446
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: breaking down things all things Jet should I say, and

447
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: I think everyone's in agreement, meaning the two of them

448
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 1: and the two of us e A at the Briant

449
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: Pool signing and every other reported handing out there, including

450
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: the official Trumaine John's release, seemed like Joe Douglass approached

451
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 1: so far, adding reportedly adding three offensive lineman has really

452
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: one kept to his word and to the calculated approach

453
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: is something that I really appreciate. And I think if

454
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: you follow Joe Douglas's past, learning from somebody like Ozzy

455
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: Newsom in the Baltimore Ravens, they rarely make a big

456
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: splash in the first wave, and I think that that's

457
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: what you're beginning to see here as the Jets trust

458
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: their general manager and his first free agency in green

459
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: and White, and somebody that we have yet to talk

460
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: about really as free agency officially kicked off at four

461
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: o'clock earlier today by the way, at eight fifty pm,

462
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: just to uh let the people know in case something

463
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: breaks here and we didn't talk about it. But Robbie

464
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 1: Anderson still a free agent. He's still on the on

465
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: the market. And I wonder if Robbie Anderson and Joe

466
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: Douglas are talking right now and not actual Robbie meaning

467
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: Robbie's agent, because I know that Robbie had said earlier

468
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: and previous interviews, even after the season, that he would

469
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: he felt like there's unfinished business with the Jets and

470
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: that he want to return. And I think that the

471
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: Jets would want him, and I think it's obviously a

472
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: question of is it the right price, that's right and

473
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas calculating approach, he is not going to be

474
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 1: forced into anything. They're gonna sit there, him and his

475
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: guys assistant GM rex Hogan, director of player Personnel UM

476
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: Chad Alexander and you can throw Phil Savage into that

477
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: mix and Greg Nasma, but they are going to come

478
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: up with the plan for everyone and he is not

479
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: going to But she's gonna set a market what he

480
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: thinks the value is and he's not going to be

481
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: forced into a situation. Joe is going to build this

482
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: the right way you mentioned, as he knew some before.

483
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: He's got tremendous mentors along the way during his NFL career.

484
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: He's got three championship rings. Truly believe the New York

485
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 1: Jets are in good hands. Again. We're five hours into

486
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: day one of free agency. Mena like it's been I

487
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: just feel like it's been. Free agency started like a

488
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: month ago, you know what I mean. These past forty

489
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: eight hours have gone by so quickly, and I know

490
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna say, oh, millennials are

491
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: glued to their screen, while I have been glued to

492
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: Twitter for the past forty eight hours and I'm not

493
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: ashamed of it. So you mentioned Robby Anderson before the

494
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: sun got now six three pounds. The guy can fly,

495
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: wake up tomorrow, and he's the fastest guy on any

496
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: track in any neighborhood, on any football field UM average

497
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: fifteen yards or reception last year twenty touchdowns. Over the

498
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: course of his career UM over three thousand yards receiving.

499
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: We talked about his accomplishments becoming what the fourth or

500
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: was it the fifth undrafted free agent undrafted? Correct? Yeah,

501
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: the fifth undrafted free agent UM to start his career

502
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: with over three thousand yards in his first four seasons.

503
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:27,239
Speaker 1: So listen, Robby Anderson is playing the patient game, and

504
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas is gonna be patient as well. We'll have

505
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: to see what the market is. The two guys, the

506
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: too name guys. I guess at the top you would say,

507
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: Marii Cooper. We know he's with the Dallas Cowboys, signed

508
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: that long term contract. AJ Green got the franchise tag

509
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: slapt on him. What is out there for Robbie. I'm

510
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: sure teams are calling his agents. He all, he's gonna

511
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: have to weigh Okay, our team is gonna offer me

512
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: a dollar more too, dollars more than the Jets. I'm

513
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: being kind of facetious there, I'm saying. At the end

514
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: of the day, Robbie likes it here. I think he's

515
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: developed a really good rapport with the young quarterback and

516
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, who oh, by the way, Greens, he is

517
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: the longest tenured starter starting quarterback in the a f C.

518
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: East Donald two years old. He's six months younger than

519
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, who's supposedly gonna go number one overall to

520
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and a couple of months here. That's c Yeah.

521
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: And of everything he can do physically, and one of

522
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: his best traits I think is he's an accurate long

523
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: ball thrower. And Robbie developed his game this year. There's

524
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. He's a guy who can take

525
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: this slant to the house. He's doing a lot of

526
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: deep ends going across the middle, but he can take

527
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: the top of the defunct defense off as well anybody

528
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. And I think he knows

529
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: he's got a good here with Sam Donald. He is

530
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: loved by the fan base. Um Man, it's gonna be

531
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: something watching this playout because they're going team is definitely

532
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: gonna be interested in Green's. Yeah, I totally agree with that,

533
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: And I think I think Robbie Anderson one of his

534
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: best traits that it's kind of sneaky for him given

535
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: his stature, is the way that he goes up in

536
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: and gets the ball and brings it down. And this

537
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: past year, I think you saw it when Sam Donald

538
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: threw the opening touchdown to Robbie against the Steelers in

539
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: Week sixteen and the end zone like he was blanketed

540
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: by two people. And similarly two years ago in seen

541
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: when Josh McCown was on their center. Really when Robbie

542
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: had his breakout season with the Jets. Again, I don't

543
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: know if you remember this play, but it was against

544
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers and Josh McCown rolled out, he put

545
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: on a this was a different one in the same game.

546
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: He had two touchdowns that game. Josh McCown launched a

547
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: deep ball into the back of the end zone with

548
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: two panthers draped all over him, and Robbie somehow went

549
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: up all all one pounds of him, brought down the

550
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: ball in bounced touchdown. And I think, Robbie, that's something

551
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: that's under overlooked, I'll say about his game because obviously

552
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: you think about the speed, and you think about how

553
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: much he's grown this past year and Adam Gates's system

554
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: with Shawn Jefferson as his receiver's coach, and we'll see

555
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: what happens with him, and I just want to see

556
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: and I would add that he tracks the long ball

557
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: better than anybody. Yeah, and here right, he's gotten better

558
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: it contested catches throughout his career. And you mentioned the

559
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: infrastructure in place, Sehn Jefferson, Hines Ward. You know that

560
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson feels awfully high about both those two guys

561
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: as well. So, um, if it's close, let's just say

562
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: there are two three four teams in the running. If

563
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: it's close, Uh, you know, I think you know he's

564
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: gonna take a long consideration, a long look at the

565
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: New York Jets. And staying right here with Sam Donald,

566
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. The other receivers on the market

567
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: right for Shard, Perryman, Philip Dorset, Emmanuel Sanders who played

568
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: for Adam Gates before um, the Marcus Robinson aus Thomas,

569
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: the restricted free agent of the Jets. So yeah, but

570
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: but Robbie's kind of the guy that you're watching at

571
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: the top of the list. Now, yeah, yeah, after everybody

572
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: that's been signed, I would you know, after Mariy signed,

573
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: I definitely say that Robbie's the top of the list.

574
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: And you know, shifting gears now just to day one

575
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: of free agency overall, and you think about the positions

576
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: of need that a lot of people think the Jets

577
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: will add in free agency. Well, one name that was

578
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: very popular among fans, or two names should I say,

579
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna let's start with the edge guys, Dante Fowler

580
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: signed with the Falcons, and then at corner Us Harris

581
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: signed with the Chargers. And then the big quarterback news

582
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,719
Speaker 1: from today was Nick Foles being traded from Jacksonville to Chicago,

583
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: And I wanted to hit on that for a second

584
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: because well, well, a couple of people have asked me

585
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: just talking about the Jaguars and you know, spit ball

586
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: in here. It seems like the rolling with Gardner Minshew.

587
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: But the Jaguars have two first round picks this year

588
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: and they sit at number nine overall. So do you

589
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: think it's out of the cards that they would, in

590
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: theory potentially draft a signal caller or make a move

591
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: to go and I gotta I know where you're going here,

592
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: I know where're you going? And here is that that

593
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: would give another option for the Jets sitting there at eleven?

594
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: So no, I I don't think that is often you

595
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: think they're rolling with the with Gardner, know I know,

596
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I don't think it's off the table.

597
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: They can say, okay, I see I said. I think

598
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: what you've seen from the Chargers to today speaking about

599
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacks is that, uh, you know, obviously with Tom Brady's

600
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: going to Tampa. But the Chargers are talent folks that

601
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: they are comfortable with Rocking and Rome with the Rod

602
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: Tell or a former Buffalo Bill's quarterback. But I think

603
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: even if they do that, the charges are gonna be

604
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: taken a quarterback. Yeah, and the charges right now six overall.

605
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: I saw this tweet today. It was it was projecting

606
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: should I say, after trading for Trade Turner, the right

607
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: guard of the formerly the Carolina Panthers, and then signing

608
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: Brian Balaga, the right tackle formerly of the Green Bay Packers.

609
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: Somebody said, I wonder if they're loading up the right

610
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: side of the line for a certain South Paul coming

611
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: out of Alabama and potentially could be there at number six,

612
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: or maybe they'd have to move up to get them

613
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: that being too attacked by Loa. But back to nick Foles,

614
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: what do you think about the Nick Foles move for

615
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears getting him and do you think it's

616
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: officially an open competition for the starting job. No, I

617
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: don't know. We'd have to hear from those guys here

618
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: in the weeks and months ahead, but nick Fole's experienced quarterback.

619
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: It didn't work out in Jacksonville. And you just mentioned

620
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: about what the Jaguars are doing right now. I know

621
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: NFL teams don't like to use the term purse rebuild,

622
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: but it sure feels like that's in fact what the

623
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: Jaguars are doing right now. So I wasn't surprised, and

624
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: I also wasn't surprised that, hey, they get a veteran

625
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: in there. And Rabinsky probably gonna be in a situation

626
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: where he's gonna have to win the job, right Green's yeah,

627
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: I would imagine so, And yeah, I think so. I'm

628
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: just gonna leave it at that and we'll see how

629
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: it plays out. But I wanted to look ahead at one. Well,

630
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: it's a couple of things here. We're talking about corners

631
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: and edge rushers and a touch a little bit about

632
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: those guys before well, still, I just wanted to say

633
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: some names on the market here before we look at

634
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: the an FC East landscape. One Logan Ryan still on

635
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: the market, former Patriot and Titan. You'll think about somebody

636
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: like Ronald Darby who played for the Philadelphia Eagles. Maybe

637
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas wants to bring in a guy like that

638
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: that he's familiar with. Jimmy Smith another one um that's

639
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: kind of in mill out there, isn't he to Mills

640
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 1: resigned and he reportedly resigned as a safety after playing corner,

641
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: So we'll see. And that's another guy, Malcolm Jenkins on

642
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: the move to the New Orleans Saints, going back to

643
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: New Orleans, the team that drafted him. And one when

644
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,720
Speaker 1: did the Mills signed it take place or the agreement

645
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: and principle was that this afternoon, I believe yesterday. So

646
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: and then one guy that the Vikings released that could

647
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: be an interesting option not only for the Jet but

648
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: any team wanting to bolster the interior of the offensive line.

649
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: That's Josh Klein. And Josh Klein originally played for the

650
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: Patriots for three years, then three years after that for

651
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: the Titans, before one year with the Minnesota Vikings, and

652
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: potentially that could be another guy at that Joe Douglas

653
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: would want to bring in for depth purposes. Right now,

654
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: Brian Winters is the slated starting right guard and Josh

655
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: Klein's thirty years old eighth season also a Kent State guy,

656
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: so he probably is actually is the same year as

657
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: Brian Winters and probably played on the same old line there.

658
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: So that's another guy if the Jets want to bring

659
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: in some guys for depth. But I know you wanted

660
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: to talk about the a f C East landscape. You

661
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: want to hit the hit the teams? Now, Yeah, why not?

662
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: Where do you want to start? Should we start in

663
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: New England or Miami? I feel like we should start

664
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: in Miami just because they've been the most active and

665
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 1: you think about Byron Jones now paired with Xavier Howard,

666
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: and then they've really just been like signing everybody. Kyle

667
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: van Noy reuniting with Brian Flores, Jack Lawson going staying

668
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: in the a f C East, but going from the

669
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: Bills to the Dolphins, Eric Flowers going back home to

670
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: Miami where he went to college. And then they signed

671
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard, who played for the Eagles this past year.

672
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: I mean, they've been all over the place, and you

673
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: know they had money to spend, but they're really going

674
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 1: after a lot of guys that I forgot about, Emanuel

675
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: came Hill. I mean the list goes on and on

676
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: for their offense. You know, the Jones signing very interesting

677
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: because on paper, you like what they're doing on the

678
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: outside because your parents them up with one of the

679
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: better young corners in football. I would say, a n

680
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: Xavian Howard, right, and Howards How's a guy who takes

681
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: the football away. This pair, though, Greens, this is the

682
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: NFL's two highest paid cornerbacks, and now you're talking about

683
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 1: the pair, uh, And I'm gonna be interested to see

684
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: how it goes because Jones is a guy who had

685
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: two interceptions in three Force bumbles in five seasons with

686
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Uh, so he's not really a ball hawk,

687
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: but people think awfully high of him. Howard is the

688
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: ball hawk. Uh what's gonna happen with those guys? Um?

689
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: But that cornerback duo? Yeah, yeah, right up there. Yeah,

690
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: I totally agree with you and the way that I mean.

691
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas said this in Indianapolis at the scouting combine.

692
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: He said any he said, the way the game is going.

693
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing here, the way the game is going. A

694
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: passing league, you need explosive playmakers on offense, and you

695
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: need guys on defense that can affect the pass, and

696
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: that being edge rushers and corners. And the Dolphins have

697
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: a pair of very good corners, and those guys they're

698
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: gonna be tested a lot. Considering the new wide receiver

699
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: in the a f C East for the Buffalo Bills,

700
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: reportedly that would be Stefon Diggs. And Stefon Diggs we

701
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: talked about him a couple of days ago, but the Bills,

702
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: other than Stefen Diggs have been loading up on defense

703
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: and their defensive line. They reportedly signed Vernon Butler, Mario

704
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: Addison Quentin Jefferson defensive tackle. And then really before any

705
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: of this, Uh, they signed Josh Norman, who used to

706
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: play under Sean McDermott in Carolina, where he had a

707
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: career year under McDermott. Well, what you always look at

708
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: right now if the Bills are signing somebody is did

709
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: they have any Carolina background? Because the system familiarity is

710
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 1: coming into place here. Uh Norman. I think that's an

711
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: interesting flyer. Um, he's a guy's thirty two. I wouldn't

712
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: say he's on the upside of his career, but Green's

713
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: your parent. On what Trey Davious White, you can make

714
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: the argument in trade dubvious White is a top two,

715
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 1: top three cornerback in the National Football LEA. You got

716
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: a shutdown guy on one side. Also the Jet the

717
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: Bills like to play a lot of his own. Uh.

718
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: Enter Josh Norman. So I think they know what they're

719
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: getting there, and he's not gonna be asked to be

720
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: the number one guy. I don't think the money was

721
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: crazy there. The other thing is defensively, you mentioned a

722
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: couple of a couple of those guys they added, um

723
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: here this week, Well, yeah, Jack Lawson goes away, So

724
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: then you're bringing a guy like Jefferson Um from the

725
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. But they have a lot of good pieces defensively.

726
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: I talked about White before, Jeremaine Adman's the young, awfully

727
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 1: talented uh inside linebacker. Um, their stoutest interior, they're good after,

728
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: They're good against the run, their safeties are good. Yeah,

729
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: just give you an extension. I believe or reworked the

730
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: deal with Jordan porter Um. Yeah. And we talked about

731
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: digs uh last night. I think, Uh, they've given Josh

732
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: Allen everything he needs. So you might say on paper

733
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: right now, if you're looking at it fairly, you know,

734
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: you could say that the Bills might have the most

735
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: with the rosser in the division as as a March eighteenth. Yeah,

736
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: I agree with that. And honestly, we we talked about

737
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and the Patriots and the Buccaneers yesterday. They

738
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: really had not made a lot of moves. A lot

739
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 1: of their players actually have been signing with a Dolphense

740
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: and reuniting with Brian Flores, or going to the Detroit

741
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 1: Lions and reuniting with Matt Patricia, who was the defensive

742
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: coordinator before Brian Flores. So a lot of Patriots ties

743
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: really heading elsewhere around the league, if not the AFC

744
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: East end. The miamis well green. So I wanted to

745
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 1: get your thoughts here. Um, we talked a little bit

746
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: about Brady last night. Um, were you surprised the Patriots

747
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: went and gave Joe Tuney the franchise tag because a

748
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: lot of people thought he was going to hit the

749
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: market and in fact, a lot of Jets fans were

750
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: targeting in Tony and it would have been that would

751
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 1: have been interesting to see if Joe Douglas, I wanted

752
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: to make one splash, would have been a guy like

753
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 1: Tony who has started what sixty four games since being

754
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: drafted in two thousand sixteen and has been one of

755
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: the most consistent interior players in the National Football League. Yeah,

756
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like I was surprised one

757
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: because you didn't really hear anything about that, and nobody

758
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: expected it, I feel like in the external media. And

759
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,760
Speaker 1: the second part of this is I think the reason

760
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: why a lot of the external media didn't expect it

761
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: was because the Patriots historically don't really pay a lot

762
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: of guys and they don't extend a lot of their guys.

763
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: I feel like Bill Belichick is the king of um

764
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 1: either getting rid of guys before and getting value or

765
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: they just let him walk. I feel like he's the

766
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: king of if you want to go go ahead, you know,

767
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: have fun. And I think it's no more evident than

768
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: what happened with Tom Brady. But if you look at

769
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: the list of guys you think about, uh, Chandler Jones

770
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: got traded, Jamie Collins left and came back. I mean,

771
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: Richard Seymour, even to go back a long time ago,

772
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: Ty Law, you go back then, I think there's a

773
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: long list of guys that Bill Belichick has historically let walk.

774
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: And to franchise tag a guy like Joe Tuney, I

775
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: think it speaks a lot of volume to the player

776
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: that Tuney is and you know, the trust and the

777
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: that Phil Belichick hasn't him, And I think I think

778
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's probably it's a good move for those

779
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: for the Patriots considering they just lost their center to

780
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: to the Miami Dolphins Ted Carriss and they're gonna need bodies,

781
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 1: and Joe Tuney has been a rock. It's I feel

782
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: like it's it's unheard of for somebody to start sixty

783
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: four games in a row and be drafted and be

784
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: a Day one starter. The other part of this, as

785
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: he committed zero penalties last year, he was one of

786
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: two players to do so. The other one, uh was

787
00:44:55,880 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: Connor mccoverned whovering call him full ster coal here to close, Yeah,

788
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:06,280
Speaker 1: just a couple of other additions or resignings. The Patriots

789
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 1: taking care of business. Matthew Slayter, one of the top

790
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: special teams performers in the National Football League, will be back.

791
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: Devin mccordy, one of the anchors back there in that

792
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: solid secondary. He's back. And you know we talked about

793
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: the offensive line allocation resource allocation was that they have

794
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: also paid check Mason a lot of money too. So,

795
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: but they're gonna be dealing with the loss of Dante Scarnekia,

796
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: a legendary offensive line coach who is not returning. So

797
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: not only is Brady not returning, but one of the

798
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: finest assistant coaches in the history of the National Football

799
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: Dante Scarnakia, who put that thing together up front for

800
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: so long in New England, won't be back. But that

801
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: to come full circle, we're talking offensive line that's been

802
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: the storyline for the Jets here early in free agency.

803
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: Remember eleven different offensive line combinations last year, nine different starters,

804
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas addressing the old line um agreement with Alex Lewis.

805
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:13,240
Speaker 1: And then reports are Connor mcgarford coming here from Denver,

806
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 1: George Ban coming here from the Seattle Seahawks. Yeah, I

807
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: think I like your you're coming full circle moment there,

808
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 1: And I think the Patriots, I mean, as long as

809
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,439
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's there, I think there's gonna be some kind

810
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: of stigma around the NFL, like he's got something up

811
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: his sleeve. The Patriots are gonna be good because even

812
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: when and Dan Grozzer talked about this in his interview

813
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: with Olivia that even when the Patriots lost Brady that

814
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,280
Speaker 1: one year to a torn a c L Matt Castle

815
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: led them to one in eleven and five season ten

816
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 1: and six, I mean, they were still very good. So

817
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens there. But that should be a

818
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: discussion for another podcast, perhaps tomorrow's podcast. E A the
