00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Official Jets Podcast powered

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: by Amazon Web Services. On today's episode, e A caught

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: up with the general manager himself, Joe Douglas one on

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: one and talked about this Jets draft, his first draft

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: as general manager, and where this roster is right now

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: as it stands on April twenty nine. Then e A,

7
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: before we hear from the architects himself, how do you

8
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: feel like he went about his first draft as general manager,

9
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: especially when you consider the unusual circumstances. To say the least,

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: Green's patient, calculating, well thought out. I thought the Jets

11
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: to a man, they raved about the communication heading up

12
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: to the draft. Their preparation was on point. I think

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: the collaboration between Joe Douglass and his personal staff and

14
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze and the coaching staff was tremendous. I think

15
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: the guys felt very good heading into the weekend, and

16
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: then Joe Douglas had every reason to feel very good

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: about improving his roster after the weekend. That his first

18
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: draft class is general manager in the New York that's

19
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: nine players, uh, and he also traded for one. So yeah,

20
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: I consider a time person class. But I just thought

21
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: Joe was patient and the other thing that he did

22
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: he never reached. That's what it felt like throughout the draft, Greens,

23
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: and we saw him make three trades, so we thought

24
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 1: going into it, yeah, he probably make a trader too,

25
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: but three trades very interesting. So um And and when

26
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: you trade down, Greens, you have to have confidence in

27
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: your selection of players, in the prop that you've had,

28
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: because when you trade down, that means that some players

29
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: are gonna obviously go off the board. So you have

30
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: to have a group of players you're comfortable taken. And uh,

31
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: I think Joe Douglas is every reason to feel very

32
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: good about what transported. Let's hear from the headman himself

33
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: before we talk about this roster anymore. Here he is

34
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas, one on one. Joe, how special was your

35
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: first draft as general manager of the New York Jets.

36
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: It was great, It was It was a great process.

37
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: I think the best part was getting getting in with

38
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: our our scouts and our and our coaching staff and

39
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: having that weekend meetings and you know, hearing everybody's rankings

40
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: and hearing everybody's reports and the discussions that we had

41
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: that kind of that led us into last weekend's draft.

42
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: It was I thought it was a great process and

43
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: everything everything works smoothly. We were able to upgrade the

44
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: talent of the team. First virtual draft in NFL history.

45
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: Your wife, she had an offered to keep the kids

46
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: in the basement, but you decline. When Addison hugged hugged you,

47
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: when Eddie hugged you, and Tommy and Lulu were there.

48
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: Can you describe that moment? Yeah, that was surreal. Um,

49
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: you know, they wanted go down the basement because they

50
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: didn't want to be too loud, but it was such

51
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: a it's such a unique thing to have your family

52
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,839
Speaker 1: this close to you during the draft, and with them

53
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: being in the room opposite and then having the call

54
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: with McKay and how excited he was and his family was,

55
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: and so that that gets you fired up. And then

56
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: in walks uh your children and you know they're hugging

57
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: you and telling you how proud they are, and you know, um,

58
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: you've worked so hard for for a moment like this,

59
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: and it really put things in perspective. It really hit

60
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: me like this, this is truly a special evening. Speaking

61
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: of perspective, if you had an emphasis on the offensive line,

62
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: a need for speed and playmakers around your quarterback Sam Donald,

63
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: the quest for position flexibility, and you wanted to shore

64
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: up some needs. Just how far has this roster come

65
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: since January? When you look at it from the perspective,

66
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 1: not only is just the draft, but free agency as well.

67
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: You know, I think from the from the start, UM,

68
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: our focus was going going to be to improve the

69
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: protection and playmakers on offense. I feel like we address

70
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: that in free agency. UM. And then the draft was

71
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: another opportunity to address it as well. And you know,

72
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: the pieces that we're able to bring in over the weekend,

73
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: both offense and defense. UM, you know, the the explosive playmakers,

74
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: guys that can play multiple spots. UM. What we're able

75
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: to do in free agency, Uh, you know, offense and

76
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: defense bringing back some key some key players from last

77
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: year's team. UM. You know, I feel I feel good

78
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: about where we are, UM go after after free agency

79
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: in the draft, but we also know we have a

80
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: lot of work to do as well. UM. You know,

81
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: any opportunity we can to shore up any any position group,

82
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna look into it. Mackay Beckton and when did

83
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: he jump on your radar during the pre draft process,

84
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: McKay jumped on my radar probably around October. UM, just

85
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: you know, are our scouts send in a little stock

86
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: up stock down report every every week just from the

87
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: places that they've been, the players they looked, and you know,

88
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: mackay was a stock up guy, and UM scouts were

89
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: excited about him and as a possible underclassman that was

90
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: gonna come out early and just going out to practice

91
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: and seeing seeing how big he was and how he

92
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: moved around. So um, just seeing that that that report

93
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: from our area area scouts and over the top scouts

94
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: and then putting the tape on. I think the first

95
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: game I watched was the Notre Dame game, and you

96
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: just see this this hulking uh left tackle that moves

97
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: moves so easy and he's able to just um, you know,

98
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: snap snap defenders heads back every time he hits them,

99
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: and he lifts guys off there, you know, in in

100
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: in uncomfortable positions and put put putting guys on the

101
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: ground and it's uh, it's eye opening and says, Okay,

102
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: this guy has some unusual traits that get you fired

103
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: up at the tackle spots. So that was really the

104
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: genesis of how mackay got on my radar, Joe. I

105
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: know the film is so important and that doesn't lie.

106
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: But when a guy goes to Indianapolis and you're sitting

107
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: there at the combine six seven four pounds and he

108
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: runs a forty yard dash in five point one seconds,

109
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: have you ever seen anything like that before? Yeah, you

110
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: knew he was a good athlete from watching the tape.

111
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: You knew he could, he knew he could slide his feet,

112
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: you knew, you knew he could mirror defense, uh, edge

113
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: rusher's um in pass pro Uh. But when you saw,

114
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: when you saw the forty, it just confirmed everything you

115
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: saw on tape that this is a big athletic man

116
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: that can do that, can do a lot of things. So, um,

117
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: it was certainly it was certainly impressive to see a

118
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: man that size moved out well, But but it was

119
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: it wasn't out of it wasn't out of character for

120
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: for for many thing we saw on tape. Okay, right

121
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: prior to the drafts. I think it was a day

122
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: prior you gave McKay a call. Can you give us

123
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: the nature of that conversation and why you came out

124
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: of that feeling good? If that guy's on the board.

125
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: He might be in New York chet. Yeah. You know,

126
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: with with some of the things that had come out,

127
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, there there were questions that you know, we

128
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: wanted answers on, and um, you know, I can tell

129
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: you that the conversation that I had with McKay was

130
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: a great conversation. And uh, there was upfront. He was

131
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: up front. Um, there was there was honesty, he was authentic. Um,

132
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, he took he took ownership, and you know,

133
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: it was it was a really it was a really

134
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: good conversation. And you know, just being able to spend

135
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: a little extra time with him one on one on

136
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: a FaceTime call, it was a it was a good experience.

137
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go through the dry player by player. I

138
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: talked to you about a bunch of these guys over

139
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: the weekend. But when you think about a foundation pillar

140
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: perhaps and McKay back then developmental piece along the offensive line,

141
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: a playmaking receiver to versatile highly skilled athletes for the defense,

142
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: backups for a pair of signature players on offense, a

143
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: pair of cornerbacks and U punner, six team captains in all,

144
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: how do you think this class of two thousand twenty

145
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: potentially can help build the foundation of what you're trying

146
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: to do here. Yeah, we'll see, We'll see down the

147
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: road how all these guys pan out. You know, we're

148
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 1: obviously excited about the character and the ability we were

149
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: able to add. Um, I think all these guys have

150
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: great opportunity to come in and compete and really make

151
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: a name for themselves with this training camp. Um, you know,

152
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm excited about our process how it played out.

153
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: But you know, this, this is a this is a group.

154
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: You know, we were we were fortunate. Um, we were

155
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: able to acquire some extra picks and trades and we

156
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: were fortunate on how the board fell and we were

157
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: able to get get get the right guys. Um that

158
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: that are good players. So, um, they're gonna they're gonna

159
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: have opportunity. That's all you can ever ask for, and

160
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: they've got they each of them have great opportunity to

161
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: make an impact on this year's roster. That's how strong

162
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: has the collaboration been throughout the offseason despite this un

163
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: precedent of time with not only you and your personnel staff,

164
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: but your staff with Adam Gaze and the coaching staff. Yeah,

165
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: I mean there's so many good people in this building.

166
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: And you know, I know I've mentioned Murph and Steve

167
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: in the I T group and how they really helped

168
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: us with h with the video teleconferenceaing and getting our

169
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: coaching staff and personnel staff set up. But then you know,

170
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: when you have guys like Dan's Vowski, you know who's

171
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 1: who's our director of who as our director of personnel coordinator,

172
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: he does he does such a phenomenal job of getting

173
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: everybody on the same page and so um, you know,

174
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: when we were able to get on the same page

175
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: with teams, app get everybody in check in terms of

176
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: the video conferencely with the players, and then come together

177
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: for this this week of draft meetings that we have

178
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: with the coaches, and everyone was able to just put

179
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: their opinion out there. Um, And if you did the work,

180
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: you get a chance to speak your mind on the player.

181
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 1: And we're always not going to agree, and but we're

182
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: gonna hash it out respectfully and we're gonna we're gonna

183
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: try to come to the best, uh, the best decision

184
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: for the New York Jets moving forward. So I think

185
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: it was a good process. I think everybody, I think

186
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: everybody was all in Um, you know, from from uh

187
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: collaboration standpoint new Adam Gates going into this and then

188
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: obviously you had last year to kind of watch the

189
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: coaching staff and this and their players in action. But

190
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: just how well have things worked between you two guys

191
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: this offseason. No, it's been good. I mean we've been

192
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: able to either uh get on the team's app or

193
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: call each other just about every day and check in

194
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: and you know, bounce ideas off each other, and um,

195
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: you know, these meetings were great, you know during during

196
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: the week, and then the strategy meetings that we had

197
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: leading up to the great leading up to the draft.

198
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: You know, we we had a lot of a lot

199
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: of conversation, you know, and even and even uh me

200
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: and coach we didn't always see eye to eye on

201
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: exact rankings, but we talked it out. We had we

202
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: had great discussions and I think I think both of

203
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: us were really happy on how this this year's draft

204
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: turned out. Joe, what do you think about the support

205
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: you've put around Sam Donald. We oftentimes have talked about

206
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: the offensive line and that was one area where you

207
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: really emphasize. But you're bringing Rashod Perryman a free agency

208
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: you raft Denzel Men's in the second round. You already

209
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: have Jameson Crowder here on campus, so to speak. Your

210
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: tight ends include Ryan Griffin, who kind of did everything

211
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: for you last year. You're hoping to get Chris Hernon back.

212
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: At two thousand twenty, you still have one of the

213
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: most talented running backs in football, and Levian Bell. You

214
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: add la Michael p. Ryan to the mix. How much

215
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: better do you feel about the offensive weapons around Sam

216
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: right now? Yeah? I think I think I feel good

217
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: about where we're heading up front in terms of in

218
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: terms of the other line. I feel like also that

219
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: a lot of people forgot about Chris Herndon and how

220
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: good of a player that he is. Um, you know,

221
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: a little bit snake He was snake bit last year

222
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: with the suspension and then the injury coming off of suspension.

223
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: But you're talking about a tight end as a rookie

224
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: that I want to say was the number two tight

225
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: end in all of the NFL and explosive plays as

226
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: a as a rookie. So, um, you know, not having

227
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: him last year it hurt. And so I'm really excited

228
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: to get Chris back, and you know, with him, with

229
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: Griffin and Ryan Ryan was a great addition, and then

230
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: a young guy like west go. So Phil, Phil feel

231
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 1: excited to see these tight ends come back. And um,

232
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, the depth that we've added at wide receiver,

233
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: the depth that we've added at a line, the depth

234
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: that we've added at running back. You know, I'm just

235
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: excited to get these guys on the field. And and

236
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: uh hopefully you know, we need to get on the

237
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: field and get some chemistry. But the there there's uh,

238
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: there's talent that excites you. But I talked to you

239
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: about this in Indianapolis and you said the need for

240
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: speed you address both sides of the ball um specifically

241
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position. Brashad Perryman bring him in a

242
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,719
Speaker 1: free accene and then Denzel Men's we talked about him

243
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: over the weekend, a long strider. But both of those

244
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: guys have sub four four speed. So how potentially cannot

245
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: help Sam, because I know you've mentioned it before and

246
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: Adam has two, is that you can't have the stress

247
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: to all the time of matriculating the ball down the field,

248
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: so to speak. With twelve plate drives, sometimes you got

249
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: to score quickly in this league. Yeah, I know we

250
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: talked a little bit at the combine about the vertical

251
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: aspect of an offense and and how we saw the

252
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: two teams competed in the Super Bowl, how both of

253
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: their offense feature a vertical passing gaming, how and how

254
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: much pressure that puts on a defense. And so when

255
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: you have guys like Perriman, Um, like like Prashad, like Denzel,

256
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: who are two big guys that run really fast on

257
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: the outside, Um, the those those guys can put a

258
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on the defense. Um, you have you

259
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: have to be on alert for them when it comes

260
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: to the vertical passing game. And so the hope is

261
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: that that opens up a lot of free space for Jamison,

262
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: for love Um, for for Herndon, for Griff for Westco.

263
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: So you you're you're hoping that this speed can really

264
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: open up the door and pass game for a lot

265
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: of other people. Last question about offensive line real quick,

266
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: How big was it for you in Baltimore that you

267
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: had a Hall of Famer at left tackle in Jonathan Ogden,

268
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: and then in Philadelphia you had Jason Peters, who I

269
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: think is gonna definitely get Hall of Fame consideration. And

270
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: we're not gonna put any kind of um projections I'm McKay,

271
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: Beckton or anybody for that matter. But with that being said,

272
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: how much can potentially a guy like who has talent

273
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: like that help an offensive line? Yeah, you just mentioned

274
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: two unbelievable players, Um, both both. You know, Jo is

275
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: the first pound of Hall of Famer. JP is going

276
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: to be a Hall of Famer. Um. And you know

277
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: those when you have when you have a tackle like

278
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: at left tackle like that, you go into a game

279
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: very relaxed in terms of in terms of protection. Just

280
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: you know, havening't been in Baltimore as long as I was.

281
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: You you you went into games and you just you

282
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: really didn't have to worry, um about about the other

283
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: team's best pass rusher unless they moved into the other

284
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: side of the formation, which oftentimes they did. So when

285
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: you have a tackle like that, um, it takes. It

286
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: makes you sleep a little better at night before a game.

287
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: You know. And um, you know I I wouldn't. I'm

288
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: not gonna. I'm not gonna compare McKay um to those

289
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: two guys. I mean, McKay has got to blaze his

290
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: own trail. Um. But uh, you know you're excited about

291
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: the ability. You know, you're excited about about the traits

292
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: that he has, the mentality that he plays with, and uh,

293
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: you know, we we feel like he's a guy that

294
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: could that could, that could be a difference maker for

295
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: us up front. Where do you think the steam is

296
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: a defensively you were side Jordan Jenkins and Brian Pool

297
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: among others, but then in the draft you get a

298
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: pair of highly athletic players who provide speed and versatility.

299
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: And that's the thing with all these acquisitions we're talking

300
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: about with Joe Douglas right now, is the multiplicity of

301
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: positions that these guys can play. Ashton Davis and Jabari's aninga.

302
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: I think you should be perfect fits for a defense

303
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: that employs so many different packages. With Greg Williams excited

304
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: about the both those guys. You know, Ashton brings speed,

305
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: ball skills, versatility. Um, he's a guy you can want.

306
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: You can throw the type tape on. You can see

307
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: him line up over slot receiver and cover them in

308
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: man coverage. You can see him line up as a

309
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: high safety and range over to the sideline to make

310
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: up play on the ball. You can see him attack

311
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: the alleys in the in the run game. You can

312
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: see him blitz so Um, what what we have with

313
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: with Jamal, with Marcus and you know National letting him compete. Um,

314
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: you know, the hope is that he can he can

315
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: provide that that kind of versatility and playmaking to our

316
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: back end. Back end and a guy like Jabari's Aniga

317
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: who battled injury this year. But another guy, uh, he

318
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 1: can he can play the end, he can reduce inside

319
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: and Nickel packages the lineup over guard. You know his suddenness,

320
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: his explosiveness off the ball, you know his motor, his

321
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: play temperament, how hard he plays, that jumps off the tape.

322
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: So so Um, with those two guys, we feel like

323
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: those are guys that can that can line up in

324
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: in different positions on and he can play and you

325
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: know based on matchups and help us. So you know,

326
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: we're just we're excited to add those guys. Something that's

327
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: flying onto the radar here. I think externally, at least

328
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: not internally, is the emphasis you put on special teams

329
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: to Aston Davis was a very good kickoff returner at California.

330
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: Michael p Ryan contribute on teams that have Florida and

331
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,479
Speaker 1: then we talked about it. Grandpore stood on the table

332
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: for his partner of Brandon Man and you guys picked

333
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: him up in the sixth round. So, UH, shouldn't we

334
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: think in terms of not just the way you're attacking

335
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: offense and defense, but where some of these acquisition acquisitions

336
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: UH will help in fact or in do special teams play? Yeah,

337
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: the best teams are balanced teams across the board in

338
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: all three phases, and they have depth and um, you know,

339
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: we feel good about the depth we've had and on

340
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: special teams, you feel good about something some guys that

341
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: can compete to be contributors next year on special teams.

342
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: I know brands fired up about a few guys, but

343
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: also you know, like you like you excuse me, like

344
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: you mentioned on man Um a guy that we were

345
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: excited about, I mean, and the things that he can

346
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: do with his directional kicks, the leg strength, um, the

347
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: ability to kick off if need be. So another guy

348
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: that can that can really do more than one thing.

349
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: The virtual off season program under way, Joe, what's going

350
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: to be the challenge ahead for UH? We talked about

351
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: Sam's aren't a little bit a lot of new pieces

352
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: on offense, but we don't know when you guys will

353
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: be able to see the field, just like anybody in

354
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: the National Football League. But uh, what do you think

355
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: about your head coach, Adam Gates talking about he's got

356
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: to become an extension of the coaching staff. Now, yeah,

357
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: you know, these these virtual meetings, Um, these virtual O

358
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: t a s. They're big, you know, and just having

359
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: the opportunity to jump into a couple of different meetings,

360
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: seeing the interaction that's going back and put back and

361
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: forth between the players and coaches. Um, you know, going

362
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: over last year's tape, going over the things that we

363
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 1: could do better, Uh, going over just the base the

364
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: day one basic fundamentals. Um, you know, there's there's an energy.

365
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: You know, there's there's a lot of hungry guys. So

366
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: I think I think the energy is there, hunger is there.

367
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: And now the next step is us getting together and

368
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: building the chemistry. And so that's that's obviously there's uncertainty

369
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: with what's going on around the world, but I think

370
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: that's the next step when we get together again, is

371
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: to really start building that chemistry that takes good teams,

372
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: that can take you from being a good team to

373
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: a great team. And so, um, you know, we we've

374
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do like we said,

375
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: But I think I think that's gonna be a big

376
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: thing for us moving forward and we're able to get

377
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: back together under one roof. Do you think you guys

378
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: took a step forward with the culture here in the

379
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: off season because you targeted specific people and free agency

380
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: not just the roles on the field, but what they

381
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: would bring inside your room, and then you followed it

382
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: up within the draft you selected six team captains out

383
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: of your nine picks. Yeah. I mean, we're excited about

384
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: the character that we added. Um. You know, I know

385
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: we talked about a little bit earlier. UM, you know,

386
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: they're we're excited about the ability and we're excited about

387
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: the character. You know. We we just we just have

388
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: to get everybody in the locker room and and let

389
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: that character show in the locker room, in the building,

390
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: on the field. UM. So just just excited to to

391
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: get everybody back to get everyone together. Um. But yeah,

392
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: that I think we I think we drafted um and

393
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: brought in through free agency passionate guys that love football. UM.

394
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 1: And I think I think we're going to see that

395
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: really show when we get back together. And the final

396
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: question here, do you think Adam gaze talks always that

397
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: always in terms of we want to be a team

398
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: that gets to determament and competes for a championship. I'm

399
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: not asking for any playout predictions, which would be ridiculous

400
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: or anything like that. More so, do you like where

401
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: you're at and do you think you've taken a step closer?

402
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: And now it's got to come together, Like you were

403
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: mentioning chemistry wise, we get on the field and see

404
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: what happens. This roster is coming together the way you

405
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:09,719
Speaker 1: envisioned it. Yeah, I feel we talked a little bit

406
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: earlier about about the character, about the ability, that that's

407
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: really the baseline, that's the foundation. And then we and

408
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: then we had the chemistry of all being together. And

409
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: then um, you know, I think once once we do

410
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: all those things and we actually have we start stringing

411
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: good practices, good good periods, good practices together, good good

412
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: weeks together, good games together. And then that's when the

413
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: last thing comes, and that's the confidence. You know that

414
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: we can go out and compete uh weekend week out

415
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: with any team in the National Football League. And once

416
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 1: once we have that chemistry and confidence, um, it's gonna

417
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: be a powerful thing. You know, we we've we've just

418
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: got to get together and build that, you know, and

419
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: you know, to to get to our ultimate goal, you know,

420
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: we we have to we have to get in the tournament,

421
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: you know. And that's you know that you know, you're

422
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: not gonna win a super Bowl unless you unless you

423
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: get into the dance. So and and if you're not

424
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: trying to win a super Bowl every year, you shouldn't

425
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: be in this business. So um, you know that's our

426
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: goal every year. You know it should try to try

427
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: to punch our ticket in this dance and uh and

428
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: make some noise, you know. But again, like I said,

429
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: we've got a lot of work to do. He a

430
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: great insight from Joe Douglas as always, and let's take

431
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: a look at where this roster is now. You know,

432
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,479
Speaker 1: this defense has a chance to be kind of scary

433
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: when you think about it, with C. J. Mosley and

434
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: Jamal and a revamped secondary. And you know, we'll see

435
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: what happens with Avery Williams and how he comes back

436
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: from his a c L injury. But you know, this

437
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: defense has a chance to really do something nice here

438
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: in two thousand and twenty. I think I think it's

439
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: gonna be very strong. I don't even think it's an argument.

440
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: C J. Mal is Lean Jamal Adams like two of

441
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: the best players at their respective positions in the National

442
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: Football League. Okay, uh, that defense is it should take

443
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: a step forward. Remember it's year two for them too,

444
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: and now Sam Donald will be staying in the same

445
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: offensive system and the Jets have gotten better around him.

446
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: We'll have to see how it all plays out at

447
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position. Thing is is Sam they have

448
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: embraced him offensively, putting him in position potentially to be successful. Now,

449
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: how is it all going to play out with the

450
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: virtual offseason program and when these guys actually can get

451
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: on the field, And Donald's gonna have to be the

452
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: extension of coaching staff. But yeah, I think there is

453
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: reason for optimism right now. Remember this team one seven

454
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: and nine last year. You don't get medals for when

455
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: it going seven and nine, but you know they headed

456
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: in the off season with the six and two stretch.

457
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: And now I think everybody you would talk to externally

458
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: would even admit that this roster looks a lot better

459
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 1: on paper than it did when it closed the year

460
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. I absolutely agree with that, and That is

461
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: how we will close out this episode of the Official

462
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,760
