1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Official Jets Podcast powered

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: by Amazon Web Services. Ethan Greenberg Eric Allen with a

3
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: little free agency preview. We spoke to Greg Nshma earlier

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: in the week. Now on this podcast, we're going external.

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: We got Ian Rappaport rap Sheet on the podcast. We

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: got Jason Locke and four on the podcast talking about

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: all things Jets free agency. Ethan, that time is here, huh.

8
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: I mean we've been talking about it all off season.

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,639
Speaker 1: March fifteenth, the start of the negotiating window, and then

10
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: March seventeenth, free agency commences. What we've learned from the

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: Jets and the lead up to the free agency. Joe

12
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: Douglas continues to stress that he wants to build by

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: drafting and developing players and using free agency as a

14
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: supplementary piece. And we'll hear from rap Sheet and Jason

15
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: Locke and for a we'll save our two cents for afterwards,

16
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: but just to give a little preview on what to come.

17
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: We definitely talk about with both guys potential Jets targets

18
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: in free agency. They give their two cents. I won't

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: I won't spoil anything. No spoiler alerts here on the podcast,

20
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: but also with Rappaport, I thought it was really interesting. Yeah,

21
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: we kind of talked about what life is like for him.

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: This is one of the busiest times in the NFL,

23
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: and if you're an insider, you're running on fumes for

24
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: probably a week and a half maybe more, And he

25
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: gave a little insight as to what that's like. Yeah,

26
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: it's like myself and you were always on our phones.

27
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: But I think people like rap and Adam Schefter. Schefter

28
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: has taken it to a whole other level. I mean,

29
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: they have to be on all the time, and those

30
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: are adrenaline junkies. There's not no doubt about it. You

31
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 1: can't be an NFL insider like that without being able

32
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: to operate without a lot of sleep and constantly being

33
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: on your phone and then getting the news out and

34
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: we UH as a society, as a football sports culture.

35
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that's one of the great benefits I think

36
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: of social media is that when I broke into the

37
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: league two thousand one, you just refresh all the time

38
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: on Pro Football Talk and UH another website that the

39
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: name is Escaping Me right now to see what news

40
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: was coming in. But now with social media, we can

41
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: just look at our phones constantly and see what's coming through. Yeah.

42
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: I would definitely suggest if you're listening to this, go

43
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: to Twitter if you have a Twitter on Adam Schefter's page,

44
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport, Tom Pellicero, Mike Garafolo. The list goes on

45
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: and on, locking forward to since we got him on

46
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: the podcast, he's breaking news too. We got Jeremy fowler

47
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: Field eight. I mean there's a lot of people either

48
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: put them all on a list or go to specific

49
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: people and press the notification so in they tweet, you

50
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: get a notification on your phone. How many lists do

51
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: you have you keep your list private? Um? I believe

52
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: my lists are private, but I don't have I can

53
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: look right now. I have one, two, three, four, five,

54
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: six lists. But some of that, like what one of

55
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: the list is the NFL teams list, which I think

56
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: our Twitter the Jets Twitter account has on on their

57
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: public list. So I just followed that. Do you have

58
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: all thirty two teams on that list? Yes? So the

59
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: tweet deck first of all, Twitter and tweet deck game

60
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: changers and notifications on specific people that you can do

61
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: that game changer. So you get me up to speak

62
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: listen tweet tech. I have it on the computer, I

63
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: really don't take advantage of it. We will, we will

64
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: have this conversation offline, but I will I will help you.

65
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: I will help you out. And without further ado, let's

66
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: hear from Ian Rappaport and Jason lockinfora with free agency

67
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: around the corner. Jets fans are very excited and they

68
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: know about the names like Kenny Golladay, the on Robinson's

69
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: of the world. But who were some names that you

70
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: can tell us that maybe we should be paying attention

71
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: to a little bit more than the top to your

72
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: free agents. Yeah, I mean, first of all, those guys

73
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: you mentioned, you know, I'm not sure those guys are

74
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: gonna be available. Um. You know, I mean those guys

75
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: with the franchise tags down a little this year because

76
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: the cap is gonna be down, There's gonna be a

77
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: lot more guys tagged, um than we've seen in I

78
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: would say a very long time. Um. So you know,

79
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: basically any top free agent class just take off the

80
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: first like eight to ten guys because those guys will

81
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: be tagged. So I think when you're talking about the

82
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: expectations of the class, you know those are someones. Um.

83
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: You know, that's one thing to kind of keep an

84
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: eye on. The Other thing is, you know, for the Jets,

85
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: I would not expect them to come out and make

86
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: a big splash this year. I'm not saying they're not

87
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: gonna be active. They've got a lot of money. Um,

88
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: I just don't think it's gonna be like a big splash.

89
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: You know, I would focus on, um, you know, probably

90
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: the premium positions. You know, think about the kind of

91
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: positions that you would want to focus on. That'd be edge, rush,

92
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: corner was are obviously two of the two of the

93
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: biggest ones. Um. And then I would say anything to

94
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: kind of help improve the offensive line. I think it's

95
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: pretty fair to say at left tackle the Jets are

96
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: fine probably for a long time. Almost anywhere else, um,

97
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,119
Speaker 1: you know, I would say that would that would probably

98
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: be a focus. I just you know, I'm not sure

99
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a day one guy. I mean, you know,

100
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: maybe the biggest splash you'll get is whatever happens with

101
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: Marcus May, which I assume is eventually the franchise taglests

102
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: they can work a deal out. Other than that, I mean,

103
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas, you know, I think would like to be

104
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: someone who thrives on like Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

105
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: rather than someone who makes the biggest splash on Monday

106
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: at two one. Do you think that's the proper approach

107
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: for this team in this organization right now, considering this

108
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: is going to be a old of course, coming off

109
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: two wins last season and a lot of draft capital,

110
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: and Joe continues to stress that he wants to draft

111
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: and develop players and use free agency as a supplementary. Yes, well,

112
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: if you think about it, you know the kind of

113
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: way that I think really good teams look at it

114
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: is you have the most talk about value like who

115
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: has the power? Right? Players have the power, and free

116
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: agency that is the greatest way for a player to

117
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: maximize his values. Get to free agency and get a

118
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: huge contract usually almost always UH inflated contract, UH tilted

119
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: towards the player. That's the most pro player situation. Then

120
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: you have the draft, which is the most pro team situation.

121
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: Everyone's cheap right now, you don't know what you're getting,

122
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: but if you draft, well, you get a cheap asset

123
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: for a long time. So if you have the choice,

124
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: you should focus on the draft because that's the best

125
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: way to help your team. Um. And you know the

126
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: other thing is the Jets did win two games last year,

127
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: So are they you know, fifty million dollars of players

128
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: you know from being nine and seven? Like, I don't

129
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: know that they are. I mean, we've seen the Jets

130
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: go out and spending free agency a couple different times,

131
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: big splashes. It's been fun. Um. Remember I broke the c. J.

132
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: Mosley deal at like four thirty in the morning. It

133
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: was great. I'm just not sure that actually helps the

134
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: team win as much as getting a lot of really good, solid,

135
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: middle class players and continuing to build from the middle out. Okay,

136
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: So before I continue to ask you about free agency,

137
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: you just mentioned kind of a snapshot of what your

138
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: life is like. We're recording this March five. Free agency

139
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: starts March seventeen. Technically you can negotiate two days before that.

140
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: What are these couple of weeks like for you, Ian?

141
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: And how much are you running on coffee these couple

142
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: of weeks compared to the rest of the year. I

143
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: would say, uh, usually I've gotten to a point an

144
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: hour during half a pot of coffee a day. Right,

145
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: you started the morning and you it's basically two large

146
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: tumblings get to free agency and you're talking full pot

147
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: of coffee. So probably I would say next Monday or

148
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: you know, three days from now, I'll start with a

149
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: full pot of coffee. I'll go full pot of coffee

150
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: a day through free agency, and then I'll dial back

151
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: to half a pot of coffee a day the week

152
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: free agency is over. So that's, you know, sort of

153
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: a good indication. And the other thing is, I mean,

154
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: it drives me crazy every year, but it's just the

155
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: reality of it. Deals come at any time, you're in

156
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: the shower, you're sleeping, literally whatever, probably the most inconvenient

157
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: time deals come. So you just have to be ready

158
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: to move and go on TV and talk about I

159
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: mean at all times, which is wild and fun um,

160
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: but you know, different for lifestyle, I would say, I

161
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: think a lot of people think of you and think

162
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: about your background, maybe covering Nick Saban and Alabama, and

163
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: of course covering Bill Belichick Tom Brady company with the Patriots.

164
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: But you're a New York guy. So when you're walking

165
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: around with the family, maybe taking the kids out or

166
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: the dogs out, how many people are approaching you on

167
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 1: the street asking you the same questions Ethan are right

168
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: now about the New York Yet it's all Donald, right.

169
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's all anybody wants to know. Like I

170
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: did a I did a a m you know, conversation

171
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: UM with some kind of a senior citizens a couple

172
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: of days ago. Uh and you know, kind of around here,

173
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: and uh, I would say the number one question was

174
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: what's going to happen with Sam Donald? Um? So you know,

175
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: that's that's what everybody wants to know. And I need

176
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: to make sure I'm sure to always in tune anyway,

177
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: but I need to make sure I'm completely tuned into

178
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: what is happening with the Jets and Giants, because you know,

179
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: if we're gonna talk about it on TV, that's what

180
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: I need to talk about. Like when I see people

181
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: in person, not that I see that many people in

182
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: person anyway, but in case I do, I gotta be

183
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: ready for it. I just feel a family function in

184
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: a non pandemic world must be a there's no separation

185
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: of church and state, or you know that everyone knows, like,

186
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: don't ask about the Jets or the Giants, because we're

187
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: just here to enjoy some Thanksgiving dinner. You know, they

188
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: know that I don't really mind. I mean I like

189
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: my work, so they know I don't mind. And my

190
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: brother is a hardcore Jets fan. Um, and so he

191
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: has never shied away from asking me Jets questions, nor

192
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: should he ever, nor telling me what he believes they

193
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: should do. UM. So I get it all the time,

194
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: and I don't really mind it, because you know, the

195
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: downside would be if you cover something that nobody cares about,

196
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: that would be a lot worse. So you're in the

197
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: TV business, so perfect segue. So what did you make

198
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: out of what Joe Douglas said about Sam Donald the

199
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: other day that thinks he's an unbelievable talent who's going

200
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: to hit his potential in the National Football League. With

201
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: that being said, when he was asked directly, will you

202
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: take calls on saying Donald, he said, I would listen

203
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: if people call as he should. I mean, that is

204
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: the right and I thought this was the right move

205
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: when he said it with Jamal Adams too, and everybody

206
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: lost their mind. But like it is literally his job,

207
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: Like this is what he has to do. And there's

208
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: the you know, the best gms in the in the NFL,

209
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: John Snider would be one of them. Always takes the

210
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: call and always listen doesn't mean you have to respond.

211
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: You know, you don't get put in jail because you

212
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: listen to someone's trade off. Um, there's it means there's

213
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: going to be rumors, but like who cares because you

214
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: owe it to the team to listen. As far as Donald,

215
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what the Jets are gonna do. I

216
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: honestly don't. Um. I think their options are incredible. It's

217
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: trade Donald for a premium pick and select the quarterback

218
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: of the future, or keep Donald and have the option

219
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: of trading out of two for unbelievable package, or just

220
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: taking the second best player in the draft, whoever that

221
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: person is, and building for the future. Um. I mean,

222
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: it's it's a It's a great spot for the Jets

223
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: to be in. And I really don't know what the

224
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: right answer is because I've seen Sam Donald be really,

225
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: really good. I've seen him be not available, and I've

226
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: seen him being not as good. One of those is

227
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: going to be what his career is gonna be, Like,

228
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: I just don't know which. But that's what the Jets

229
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: have to figure out now, is what is the best

230
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 1: way to move forward with the guy We really like

231
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: knowing that. I mean, we all know who's going number one.

232
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: So the Jets literally could just pick the quarterback now

233
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: and know who it is. Um. But how valuable is that?

234
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's all the things that are going on

235
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: in the building right now, you know, given the landscape

236
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: of what the Jets have in free agency in terms

237
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: of flexibility there and the draft capital. But also taking

238
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: into account what you said in terms of how you

239
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: project Joe Douglas will approach free agency, how much better

240
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: do you think this team can be in two thousand one? Um?

241
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: I think they can be definitely better. Um. I would say,

242
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: now again, I'd like to know who their quarterback is.

243
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: That would be helpful. Um. Last year I thought they

244
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: were better than the record, especially when they got kind

245
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: of everyone back on the same field, Donald playing and

246
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: all that. You know, could this be an eight and

247
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: eight team? Absolutely? Again, depending on who they get. Things

248
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: go so fast in the NFL, there's you know, you

249
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: could rebuild the right way and still be, um, you know,

250
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: still be better than you people think you're gonna be.

251
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: It all goes really fast, so um, so we will see. UM.

252
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: But I do think that it's you know, it's going

253
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: in the right direction. And I'm I think in Robert

254
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: sala Um, you know, the Jets got a really good one,

255
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm really curious to see how this is

256
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: moving forward to this team. Yeah, you've still dialed in

257
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: with everybody in the NFL. What's been the reaction out

258
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: there as far as the connection. It seems like Joe

259
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: Douglas was universally respected before he got the job is

260
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: GM and we've been talking to people less a couple

261
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: of months while Robert sala and everybody raised about him.

262
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, and and you know as a

263
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: football coach, he's he's very good. I mean, the defense

264
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 1: should have been nowhere near as good last year in

265
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: San Francisco, considering all the guys they lost. They were

266
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: still balling um and you know, they were still like

267
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: one of the better units in the NFL. And he's

268
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: as a defensive coordinator, I thought he was excellent it

269
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: being a great expers and those defensive coordinator helps you

270
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: only a little bit as a head coach. The things

271
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: I care about were how devoted his players were to him.

272
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: I think that was one. How he handled all the

273
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: different non exers and those issues on a defense and

274
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: on a team, how you lead, UM, and really also

275
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: how you can multitask, because that's what a head coach

276
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: is being about, because you step in your office, you

277
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: expect one thing, and it's twenty five different things before

278
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: you even get to football. UM. So I think Robert

279
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: Sale is gonna be really good. UM. I think he

280
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: is ready for this. UM. And you know, I think

281
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: it was obviously was one of the top head coaching

282
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: candidates last year. UM. And they the Jet died a

283
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: good job wocking him up. You know, they have a

284
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: lot of expiring contracts, and I think there's a lot

285
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: of people out there that think that's a natural connection

286
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: to that. Robert Sale would want to bring players over,

287
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: even for Michael Floor, the offensive coordinator. Are there any

288
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: players that you think have a better chance to land

289
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: with the Jets than others? Yeah, I mean I think

290
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman is probably the name that you know that

291
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: everybody talks about. UM. And you know, I think he's

292
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: still still got a lot left. Um. He's a good guy,

293
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: he's brilliant. Obviously the connection with Sale is strong, UM.

294
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: But you know it's I'm not sure in the bidding

295
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: war the Jets are gonna win. I mean it could win.

296
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: You always could win. But I'm just not sure that

297
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna be primed to spend my crazy. So you know,

298
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: we'll see if they end up getting him more. The

299
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: interest elsewhere is is, you know, sort of stronger than

300
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: it is with the Jets. But um, you know, the

301
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: forty Nights do have some free agents. I mean they

302
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: have Trent Williams, who again the Jets have a left tackle.

303
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: But um, they get Jason Barrett, They've got your Closky Tart.

304
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: I mean they got some, they got some good ones.

305
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: I'm just not sure I see a pathway, you know,

306
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: directly to the Jets. It's it's rarely, it's rarely that simple,

307
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: mostly because everyone else gets a shot at these players too.

308
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: You touched upon it earlier, But you think Marcus May

309
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: is a Jet in one because even if they don't

310
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: work or come to an agreement on a long term

311
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: a deal, you think that the franchise tag could be

312
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: in place and Marcus May will still be here with

313
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: the Jets. Yeah. I would be absolutely stunned if he's

314
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: not with the Jets. I mean, the likely outcome is

315
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: the franchise tag. It hasn't been decided yet. Um, And

316
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: you know, I guess theoretically still could work out a deal.

317
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: But you know, I'd be shocked if Marcus May is

318
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: going anywhere. Played great last year in difficult circumstances without

319
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: his partner in crime. Um. When you have good players,

320
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: you draft them high, you develop them, and it comes

321
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: time to get a big payday. You know, rarely do

322
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: organizations let those guys walk out the door, and I

323
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: would expect it to be similar with Marcus. All right,

324
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: I have one final question for you. It's about you,

325
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: not about free agency. First of all, it's a two

326
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: part question. First, is there some kind of great free

327
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: agency story you can share with us? What you mentioned

328
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: earlier that the stories always break or the contracts always

329
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: break at an inopportune time. In my second part of

330
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: this unrelated, each week on my phone, I get a

331
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: notification that says my screen time for the week. For

332
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: someone that has to be on their phone a lot,

333
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: what is your average screen time? I'll keep the number private. Uh,

334
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 1: but I'm also yeah, I'm not sure it's accurate because

335
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 1: I spend a lot of time my computer and does

336
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: that get calculated in is a computer the same as

337
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: the phone, you know, I'm not sure so um. And

338
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: then yeah, craziest free agent story was actually my favorite

339
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: one is mostly because I woke up and I had

340
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: gotten a text, you know, basically it was mostly done

341
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: jets and then the exact numbers, which it turned out

342
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: to be a correct and that was sent to me

343
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: at like three oh five am, and I woke up

344
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: at five and it was like two oh five am.

345
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: And I woke up at five in a panic being like, wait,

346
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: am I going to break this? Or did someone else

347
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: get a similar text? And someone else broke it? And

348
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: then it's also five in the morning, so like, who

349
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: can you call it? Five in the morning? So I'm

350
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: calling everyone because it's free agency and if I'm up,

351
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: why are they not up? Uh? And eventually I did

352
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: break it at I think five forty or something when

353
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: I was in the shower if I remember correctly, getting

354
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: ready for the morning football whenever it was. It was early. Um.

355
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: But that was a great story, but it was also

356
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: horrifying because I'm like, did this get out in the

357
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: last two hours? And I frantically searched Twitter. I'm like, Okay,

358
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: it hasn't How do I confirm it ended up being nice. Um,

359
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: but you know it was just completely crazy. A great

360
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: job by you and the family, Uh, contributing to the

361
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: community throughout the pandemic. I know, Uh, you guys have

362
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: have made that a big time priority. And I'm gonna

363
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: go lastly back to football and say, are we entering

364
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: unprecedented time with quarterback movement here over the next six

365
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: weeks or so, I mean, whatever amount of time it

366
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: is prior to the Yeah, I mean we'll we'll see

367
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: some Potentially Sam Donald would be an interesting one. I mean,

368
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: just Tay Bridgewater get traded, does Marcus Mariott to get released?

369
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: There's definitely some movement. I'm just not, um, you know,

370
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: quite sure that it's going to be the craziness that

371
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: everyone anticipated. But I mean, we already have three starters traded.

372
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: That's not usual. It rarely happens like that. So um,

373
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: I'll be keeping my ear to the ground. I'm just

374
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: not sure it's gonna be the absolute bonkers offseason like

375
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: everyone anticipating. Now joined by NFL Insider for CBS Sports,

376
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: Jason locking Forward, Jason Free Agencies around the Corner, and

377
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: a lot of Jets fans let's just died right anywhere here.

378
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: They want to know who are the names that they

379
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: should be getting a little more familiar with as free

380
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: agency inches up. Yeah, look, a lot of the sort

381
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: of big names, the people who help you win or

382
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: lose fantasy football games. Uh, you know, receivers, tight ends.

383
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily look at those lists and and uh,

384
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: you know, lust after the names the topic because a

385
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: lot of these guys are gonna be tagged, you know,

386
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: whether and in some cases it'll be a second tag,

387
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: which is unusual. But I think you're gonna see a

388
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: trend this year where more teams apply a tag two

389
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: years in a row than maybe ever have before. So

390
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: like a Kenny Galladay and Allen Robinson you know, um,

391
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: you know Hunter Henry. I don't. I don't think they're

392
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: hitting the market. And now it doesn't mean one of

393
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: those guys might end up being a tag and trade,

394
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't see them walking out the

395
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: door or for the Jets. I think, look that this

396
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: is a chance for Joe Douglas to really kind of

397
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: start molding the clay and using these assets at his

398
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: uh disposal, whether it's draft picks, whether it's payroll um

399
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: available available payroll um. And obviously the cap is not

400
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: an issue for them whatsoever. And they don't have a

401
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: lot of their own mouth defeat, right, you gotta take

402
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: care of a safety they're Marcus. I can't imagine you won't.

403
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: There's there's no reason really why he would get out

404
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: of the building and whatever it takes to get that done.

405
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: And that may begin with the tag. I don't know, um,

406
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: but I don't see him leaving. But outside of that,

407
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: it's not like there's five or six guys who, Hey,

408
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: I need an extension. Hey I've done it for three years.

409
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: Hey I've done it here for four years. It's time

410
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: to pay me. So yes, I think they will be

411
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: active in free agency. Look, Joe was in Philadelphia before that.

412
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: Joe was in Baltimore for a long time. I think

413
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: there's certain core principal beliefs um things he from a

414
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: football standpoint, would full throatedly get behind. That's embodied by

415
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: a lot of things that they've done, particularly in Baltimore

416
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: on defense. You look at the Baltimore Ravens roster right now,

417
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: it is bereft of edge players. They just have one

418
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: who's still under contract Jaalen Ferguson. Everybody else is available,

419
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: and I think a guy like Matt Judean, Um, look,

420
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: is he a natural like over the top pass rusher, know,

421
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: but he does everything well that I think Joe Douglas

422
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: would would believe in. He can drop back and disrupt

423
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: the ball in the air, he can rush a little

424
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,959
Speaker 1: bit outside, a little bit inside, he can set the

425
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: edge and absolutely will improve your your run defense. Um.

426
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: He comes from a place where they've had success. Um.

427
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: I think you know, Robert Salo would look at him

428
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: and say, wow, that's a pretty interesting interchangeable piece that

429
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: could make some sense. I think if you look at

430
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 1: the total body of work for him, he's arguably one

431
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: of Baltimore's two or three most important players on that

432
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: football team. And the coaches would tell you that. Now

433
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: the coaches don't get to decide, hey, we want to

434
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: tag him again and pay him twenty eight million dollars.

435
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: That's between the front office and the owner. Um. But

436
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: I think Matt Judean is somebody who would make a

437
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: lot of sense for the Jets. UM. I think tay

438
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: As Bowser is another athlete like Judean, maybe even longer arms, um,

439
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: a little twitch here, only twenty five years old, didn't

440
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: play all the time a ton in Baltimore, but when

441
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: he did he made a real impact. He was among

442
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: league leaders and linebacker interceptions. His ball skills are exceptional. Uh.

443
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: He can cover, he can run around. His pressure rates

444
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: are pretty good when you look at number of dropbacks

445
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: he's on the field versus number of pressures he creates.

446
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: And he can set the edge as well. I think

447
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: those are a couple of guys who who maybe aren't

448
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: the top of everybody's free agent list, but would certainly

449
00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: make some sense UM for the Jets. But they need you.

450
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: They need help in a lot of spot And then offensively, right,

451
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: I think whoever the quarterback is, um, is herndon the

452
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: guy or do we want to look at, you know,

453
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: a John hu Smith if he doesn't get tagged UM,

454
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: I think a guy like Jared Cooks probably a little

455
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: long in the tooth. And there's not a ton of

456
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 1: of tight end talent. Uh. And then wide receiver you know,

457
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: is obviously an area that UM, maybe something they want

458
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: to address early on in the draft. Uh, but there

459
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 1: will be no shortage of of wide receivers available. Different sizes,

460
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: different shapes, um, different price points. But again, I don't

461
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: think that Golladay and Robinson are going to be among

462
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: that group because I fully expect him to get tagged.

463
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: You just upset a lot of Jets fans by saying

464
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: you think those guys are gonna be tagged, because I

465
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: think Ethan and I often talk about that. I think

466
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: people's minds always drift to the skill position players. But

467
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: you talked about Joe Douglas in his background, He's continued

468
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: to emphasize over the years building up on the offensive

469
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: line and the defensive lines. And would your anticipation be

470
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: that's where it's gonna continue. Yeah, maybe either're gonna add

471
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: some explosive skill position players, whether it be free agency

472
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: or the draft, But for Joe, it's going to continue

473
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 1: to start up front. Yeah. And and now that might

474
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: be a situation where he'd rather draft and develop those

475
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: guys as well. Um, because you're obviously not paying a premium,

476
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: and you know, the the left tackle a drafted last

477
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: year looks like he could probably play in the league

478
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 1: for a little while. Um. So you know, do they

479
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: like when you start talking offensive line like Alex mac

480
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: like you know, it's just still a rebuilding team. There's

481
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of upside there, you know, blowout

482
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: the bank for you know, Linley from the Packers. I

483
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 1: mean maybe centers an important position. But like Joe Tooony

484
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: is gonna go get a huge deal. You know, brand

485
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: Sheriff's gonna get a huge deal if he doesn't get

486
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: tagged a second year in a row, and he might. Um,

487
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: but does that does that make sense for the Jets?

488
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: Are those ascending players who two years from now, Um,

489
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: if you're really turning the corner, you're still getting banged

490
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: for your buck? You know, do do you do? You

491
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: wanna you know, hold it down guy like Cam Robinson

492
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: and put him maybe on right right tackle for a year. Um. Maybe,

493
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't know that the Jets

494
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: are gonna be a team. Um that would be going

495
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: crazy with this offensive line class, especially when you start

496
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: factor in in the tagh but wide receiver again, I

497
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: really like, Um, you know, a guy like like Curtis Samuel,

498
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: who I think if you look at his skill set

499
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: and you think of sort of the different body types

500
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: and different athletes that a Kyle Shanahan has been attracted

501
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: to at the receiver position. And you look at how

502
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: Matt Roll and those guys, Uh, Joe Brady started using

503
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 1: him in the run game and as a web and

504
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: they're even running between the tackles and what he can

505
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: do yards after the catch, and he's an interesting little

506
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: chess piece, not the biggest guy in the world. Um,

507
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: but could that be an athlete who you use in

508
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: a lot of different ways to help Sam or whoever

509
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback is. Whoever the quarterback is. It's not going

510
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 1: to be You're not going back to Ryan Fitzpatrick. It's

511
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: going to be a young or young ish guy. Uh.

512
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: So those are the kind of guys who would intrigue

513
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: me a little bit, especially if if you kind of

514
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 1: are thinking, like the new head coach and who's he

515
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: been around lately, and you know what kind of things

516
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: did they do at different position groups. So you mentioned

517
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: before the Joe Douglas Baltimore connection, jumping off of what

518
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: e A just talked about, the forty Niners connection. The

519
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: forty Niners have a lot of expiring contracts. Do you

520
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: think that there's any players that are going to be

521
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: free agents that could make sense for the Jets as

522
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: they try to implement two new systems. Yeah, I mean

523
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: there certainly could be. When you start talking about culture

524
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: and buying in and guys who embody, um what the

525
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: coaches selling. You know, Richard Sherman would probably make a

526
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: lot of sense. I mean, I just don't know he

527
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: I kind of seems like he's got something cooking with

528
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: John Gruden uh in Vegas. Uh So I don't know,

529
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: but you know, you start looking at that San Francisco situation,

530
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: I I kind of wonder what what some of their

531
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: cuts might be. You know that they're in, They've got

532
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: an injury situation with Dfour, They've got a few things that,

533
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: um are probably a little more complicated than they'd like. Um,

534
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: you know, kyl Us Checker, is he going to be

535
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: a dude who hits the market? If he does, that's

536
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball. But I think that

537
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: would make a whole lot of sense for for that offense,

538
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: and knowing what they like in a fullback and getting

539
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: a guy who's as athletic, as freakishly talented, who has

540
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: the hands he has, who could be a lead blocker,

541
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: who can carry the ball, who could run intermediate routes,

542
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: who could run wheel routes fifty if you want um,

543
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: that would be you know, another potential forty niner, um

544
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: cat casualty or whatever who would make sense for them.

545
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: E A great stuff from both guys. First of all,

546
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: fantastic story on c J. Mosley in terms of Ian Rappaport.

547
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: Second of all, I'm really curious what his screen time averages.

548
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: And third of all, if there were a takeaway in

549
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: terms of the Jets and what they're doing free agency,

550
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: it sure doesn't seem like either one of those guys

551
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: believes the Jets are gonna shop in the premier level

552
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: of free agents, even though they have the money to

553
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: do so. Well, there's a couple of points here. The

554
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: Jets do have financial flexibility, so that's a good spot

555
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: to be in, right, There's no doubt about that. But

556
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: it feels like as we inch closer to free agency

557
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: and now we're getting in the fast lane on the highway,

558
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,479
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys who were going to be

559
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: potential Tier one free agents, they're gonna get the tech

560
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: right or they just got the tag I don't know

561
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: what day. Who are actually posting this podcast, so some

562
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: people who a lot of people said, oh this is

563
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: a guy who would be a great fit for Team

564
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: A or Team B. They're not even gonna hit the

565
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: market to begin with. And for the Jets right now

566
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: kind of at the start of your build. Right, this

567
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,239
Speaker 1: is going to be Joe Douglas's second draft, and he

568
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: continues to emphasize the draft. You have a new coaching

569
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: staff with Robert Sale, offensive coordinator MICHAELA. Fleur, and defensive

570
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: coordinator Jeff Albrich. They're running new systems. So for the Jets,

571
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: you have multiple holes to fill. And what they did

572
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: in the lead up to free agency in the preparation

573
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: was a get these coaches around the scouting staff and

574
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: discussed each and every one of them players on your

575
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: roster to see if they are system fits, most notably

576
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: those guys who are nineteen unrestricted free agents. And then

577
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: we think about all the changing parts. Right, the Jets

578
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: freed up more cap space by releasing a veteran and

579
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: Henry Anderson, so they'll go into this with more than

580
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:10,479
Speaker 1: seventy million dollars, right, But for the Jets, you have

581
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: to look at it short term and long term. How

582
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: many guys really do fit division externally? Where you're gonna

583
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: go out and spend right now twenty million per year

584
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: on a guy with so many holes to fill in

585
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: the philosophy of drafting and developing, because we always talk

586
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: about it, maybe you pay over market value when you're

587
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: really close what the Jets are. They're trying to build

588
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: a more competitive team right now. Yeah, and I think

589
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: what you just said hit the nail on the head,

590
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: and you kind of got the sense from Ian Rappaport

591
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: and locking forth. They didn't say it in as many words,

592
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: But when you look at the perennial winners in recent years,

593
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: those teams don't often spend a lot of money in

594
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: free agency. And when you look about and when you

595
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: look through the rear few mirror in terms of the Jets,

596
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: the Jets tried to spend big money in recent memory

597
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: didn't really work out. So when you couple of those

598
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: two facts together and you look what happened last year

599
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: in free agency with Joe Douglas and the school of

600
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: thought that he was brought up in the NFL. In

601
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: terms of Ravens and Azzie Newsom, they're not known as

602
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: a big free agent spending team. So you know, I

603
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me if Joe Douglass made a lot of moves,

604
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: but I'm not so certain that he'll make a lot

605
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: of moves where a lot of fans will want him to. Yeah,

606
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: or I think at first people get trigger happy, meaning

607
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: you know this so well. Is that those first forty

608
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: eight hours when we start hearing these names come off

609
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: the boarding before free agency starts. I think people externally

610
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: get nervous. I think is an organization, as a personnel staff,

611
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: as a management team, you can't get nervous. You have

612
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: to stick to your plan because if you get anxious

613
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: in you I've into early or go over or extend

614
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: beyond your principles and start handing out multiple contracts over

615
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: market value that you set. Then you're gonna get yourself

616
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: in trouble. And the bottom line is for the Jets

617
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: right now, they have to look at multiple positions in

618
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: free agency. I keep on saying that, But we could

619
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: go up and down the roster and say, hey, they

620
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: need players here, or they need starters here, or there's

621
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: gonna be vacancies here. So not every acquisition or not

622
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: every agreed to principle, people are gonna be like, oh,

623
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: this guy is an all Pro player. Oh, by the way.

624
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: You can't have all pro players at every position. That's

625
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: just not that's not possible. It's great and men when

626
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: we start putting together a roster, and it's great when

627
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: we're talking about it online, but I think you do

628
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: have to be very disciplined. I don't think Joe Douglas

629
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: is afraid to spend money. No, I mean, let's get

630
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: that straight out there. I think though, he is going

631
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: to be very strategic about the way the Jets operate.

632
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: And uh, it's going to be interesting because again, you

633
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: have the inclusion of that new coaching staff and new system.

634
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: So a guy who might have fit in your past

635
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: offensive system or your past defensive system maybe isn't the

636
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: proper fit. Another thing that we have to pay attention to,

637
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: and you talked to Jason locking for about it is

638
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: look at the trees. Where do these guys come from?

639
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: Oh well, Joe obviously most directly from Philadelphia, but before

640
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: that Baltimore and how did they approach free NC under

641
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 1: Ozzy Newsom and looking forth throughout some Ravens who might

642
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: make sense. And then we've continued to talk about it

643
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: here over the last I feel since Robert Sala walked

644
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: in the door was what forty nine years with expiring

645
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: contracts makes sense because you gotta start building a culture here. Yeah,

646
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: I think I think what makes it fascinating is that

647
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: there's so many different ways the Jets can go in

648
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: free agency, because of the money they have, because of

649
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: the unrestricted free agency that they have, just in terms

650
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 1: of sheer number that they have nineteen unrestricted free agents.

651
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: So I think between all the different avenues that Joe

652
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: Douglas could go down, no one really knows what's gonna happen.

653
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: And I think that's what makes us fascinating. And I

654
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: do think that the Jets. I think what the general

655
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: mantra is based on reading Tea Leaves, is that the

656
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 1: Jets will be active, but not necessarily shopping to shop

657
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: or paying just to pay because they can, you know

658
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: what I mean. They're not making a purchase saying like,

659
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 1: you know what, I want to get this just because

660
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: I can. It has to be a calculated reason to it.

661
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: They have to fit scheme, financial, and culture, and that's

662
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 1: when the Jets will pull that trigger. So there's gonna

663
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: be a lot of moves coming down the pike here,

664
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: starting with free agency, and then of course I mean,

665
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: we have months to talk about it, but it's also

666
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: right around the corner. The draft capital is where the

667
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: Jets are gonna make their hay. The draft as we

668
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: record this almost you know, a little under sixty days away,

669
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: but free agency comes first. And don't don't get it wrong.

670
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 1: After did yet start to sign some guys, we're gonna

671
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: be breaking it down all right here on the Official

672
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: Jets Podcast powered by AWS. Yeah, you're right about that.

673
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 1: It's gonna be so much information coming in because you're

674
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: finally gonna have some agreement and principles and official signings

675
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: and then once we hit April, I mean, we'll be

676
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: talking draft every second. But uh yeah, it's going to

677
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: be a very interesting off season and if fans have

678
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: a lot to be excited about, because no matter what

679
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: tier you start adding players, you're adding players. And this

680
00:36:55,200 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: roster overhaul is continuing because Joe Douglas is has only

681
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: had one draft at the helm this year ton of

682
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: assets and I would just go back to the defensive

683
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: side of the ball. We kind of touched upon the

684
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball, but new system for three

685
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: defensive end. Everybody's looking for a great pass rusher, it's

686
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: difficult to get that kind of guy in free agency

687
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: and what kind of money are you giving a very

688
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: good pass rusher and free agency and under the radar

689
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: bit about the Jets this offseason, and we've talked about it,

690
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: but I don't know if me and you have talked

691
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: about it a lot on there is a linebacker position.

692
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen in a linebacker position. C J. Mosley

693
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: basically played two and a half quarters or two and

694
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: two and two almost under three quarters over the past

695
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: two years, and then what else is happening and at

696
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: that spot because there's gonna be a transformation going there,

697
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: And a lot of people talked about the secondary, but

698
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: I kind of think that the linebacker positions kind of

699
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: flown under the radar a little bit. I definitely agree.

700
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: And to wrap up the podcast, the other position I'll

701
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: throw out there is on the defensive side of the ball,

702
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: no matter what happens with Marcus may is safety because

703
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 1: Ashton Davis saw playing time last year before he got hurt,

704
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: and then after that, Matthis Farley and Bennet Jackson, the

705
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: other two safeties on the roster, their free agents too,

706
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 1: So the Jets have to fill not only starting roles

707
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball, but then the depth

708
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: of each position, and you factor in the new schemes

709
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. There's a lot of

710
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: work to be done, but that is how we put

711
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: a bow on the Free Agency preview of the Official
