On today's episode, we're gonna talk 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: all things Jets. So the Jets have reportedly made a 4 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: couple moves on both sides of the ball, but today 5 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: we're focusing on the offense, and the Jets have supposedly 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: signed three offensive lineman. But Eric Allen and myself gonna 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: digest and take a look at the entire roster where 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: things stand, who they've added they meaning the Jets, of course, 9 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: and where the Jets could potentially and who they could 10 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: potentially add as free agency continues on here. But first 11 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: things first, he a welcome back to the podcast, and 12 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: yeah you too, uh, like I said yesterday, and like 13 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: you said, this is kind of like the nirvana, you know, 14 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: cooped up in the house all day and now we 15 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: finally get a chance to talk some football and actually 16 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: some NFL news non related to the players. Sean Payton 17 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: is the first coach or first real uh NFL executive 18 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: to test positive for the coronavirus, and that just goes 19 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: to show that everyone has to do their part to 20 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: stay in their home, to keep washing your hands and 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: doing everything they can to make sure that this virus 22 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: gets curbed. Listen, this is an impact in everybody in 23 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: the world right now, and it's hit the United States 24 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: and full force. Uh, we're seeing more people. Um, the 25 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: numbers get bigger by the day because there are more 26 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: test kits and we all got to take care of 27 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,559 Speaker 1: each other out there. And that's what Sean Payton said 28 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,559 Speaker 1: that this deal is serious. Fortunately for the Saints head 29 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: coach Greens, it seems like his symptoms are minor and 30 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: he's gonna return and he's gonna be okay. But with 31 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: all that being said, there are they're people who are 32 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: dying right now, and I just want to say. The 33 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: other thing is, um, we gotta applaud all the people 34 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: are working in the medical field right now, whether it 35 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: be nurses or doctors and everything they do each day, 36 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: especially with the pressure right now, because um, there's a 37 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: lot of people going to the hospital. There's a lot 38 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: of people on fear right now, and I just want 39 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: to say that, uh, um, you know, we are fortunate 40 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: that we have so many people in this country looking 41 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: out for each other. Um. So unfortunate news for Peyton, 42 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: but on the positive side of the ledger, he's gonna 43 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: be okay, and hopefully everybody out there who is a 44 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: Jets fan and an NFL fan is doing okay. We're 45 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: gonna get through this. Very well said, and let's take this. 46 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: Let's focus on some Jets football, hopefully providing some light 47 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: to Jets fans here and some sort of levity as 48 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: we're all quarantined in our respective homes. So the Jets 49 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: have reportedly made three offensive line was and we see 50 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: it reportedly because the NFL teams can't technically officially do anything. 51 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: So reportedly, the Jets have signed George Fan, re signed 52 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: Alex Lewis, and signed connorra Governed, which really solidifies the 53 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: left side of the line, assuming George and is the 54 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: left tackle and not right tackle, even though he has 55 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: experience at both positions. So let's just take a look 56 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: at the offensive line before we move on to different positions. 57 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: And I forgot to mention off the top that Olivia 58 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: Landa spoke to Bob was Shoes in the radio voice 59 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: of the Jets and talked all things Jets, and so 60 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: let's just start with the offensive line. Last season, the 61 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: unit was ravaged by injuries that had eleven different starters, 62 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: like nine different starting combinations and so many players went 63 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,839 Speaker 1: to I R and battled injuries throughout. But the way 64 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: it stands right now, I would assume left to right 65 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: would be George Fan, Alex Lewis, Connumer, Governor, and Brian 66 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: Winners and that Chuma Adogo who would be entering his 67 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: second season in Yeah, Green's I mean if you're playing 68 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: tomorrow and the Jets aren't playing tomorrow, So I don't 69 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: look at the offensive line as a finished product. And 70 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,119 Speaker 1: we know the way Joe Douglas operates, that's not the 71 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: way he is going to attack this thing. But no 72 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: surprise because we've been talking about all week and this 73 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: is it feels like Greens, this is one of the 74 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: longest professional and personal weeks I think a lot of us, 75 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: maybe I've ever had. Yeah, I have not been this 76 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: excited for a weekend in the season or even in 77 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 1: the off season at at work, but like I feel 78 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: like I need a break from just working from home, 79 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: which sounds weird anyway. Um, Yeah, so fans. The interesting 80 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: thing that we didn't touch upon last night, it was 81 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: almost like there's a mini trade here in free agency 82 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: because Fan goes from Seattle to the Jets. That's what 83 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: the news reports are right now, and Brandon Shell comes 84 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: to an agreement with the Seattle Seahawks, so um conceivably, 85 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: Shell will be starting on the right side for the 86 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: Hawks next year, whereas Fan could start for the Jets 87 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: on the left side. Again, I thought it was an 88 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: intriguing move because here's a big he was played both 89 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: left tackle and right tackle. He's got good feet. Anybody 90 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: who plays college basketball to Division one level like Fan 91 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: did does. And the other thing is, how are you 92 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: gonna develop this guy in your system when you bring 93 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: him in to one Jets drive Eventually, hopefully it's sooner 94 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: than later. Green's um left guard. You gotta figure this 95 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: is Alex Lewis's job. Period twelve starts last year. I 96 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: consider him one of the guys when Joe Douglas always 97 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: talks about I want guys who love football, Greens. You know, 98 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: if this guy loves football, he's gonna get after it 99 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: now at the center position. What I like with McGovern is, 100 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: even if he plays at guard, you all of his 101 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: sudden at center. You got very good depth there. Because 102 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: don't forget about Jonathan Harrison either, because he is under contract. 103 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: I thought he did a good things last year. But 104 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: mcgougery also plays guard to exactly exactly, So I think 105 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: we think in terms of who's starting all the time. 106 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: I think we have to think too what Joe Douglas 107 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: is doing here is he's building depth as well, no 108 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: matter who ultimately is your your starters, your five. And 109 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,799 Speaker 1: then at right guard, Douglas is very complimentary Brian Winters 110 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: at the NFL combine, what's to see how things shake out. 111 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: Obviously Winners have been here for a long time, one 112 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: of the longest, one of the longest tenured New York Jets. 113 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: And then at right tackle, you mentioned Huma Adoga, a 114 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: guy the previous regime draft in the third round. He's 115 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: another intriguing athlete. Um but again there is no period 116 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: on the sentence with Douglas. And as we talked about 117 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: last night, Greens and you've been doing this draft deep 118 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: dive for a long time, listen, a lot of prospects, 119 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: good off mental line prospects. There are draft experts who say, 120 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: and you can get starting tackles in the second and 121 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,679 Speaker 1: third round. Maybe not this year, but those are guys 122 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: who are going to develop ultimately in the starting tackles. 123 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: I know we think about in terms of that Big 124 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: four here in the two thousand and twenty draft class. 125 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: And what I like about the Big four in particular is, 126 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: if let's say the Jets hype hypothetically, do you want 127 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: to go with one of those four players at eleven, 128 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: meaning Andrew Thomas, mackay Beckton, Tristan Worfs, and Jeddrick Wills. 129 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: All those guys have experience on the right side of 130 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: the line. And Andrew Thomas McKay Beckton played at left 131 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: tackle at their respective schools, McKay Beckton for Louisville and 132 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: Andrew Thomas for Georgia. But both of those guys have 133 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: started seasons on the right side, whereas Tristan Worfs and 134 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: Jeddrick Wills, their primary home at the collegiate level was 135 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: on the right side of the line. So let's say, hypothetically, 136 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: George Fant is your left tackle the any one of 137 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: those four guys if the Jets draft one of those 138 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: four or Calm April or whenever the draft ends up being, 139 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: if it changes, any one of those four guys, if 140 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: they end up in Green and white, have experience on 141 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: the right side. And you know, I think that with 142 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: Joe Douglass and the offensive line. It sounds like quantity 143 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: is important in addition of quality, but he definitely wants 144 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: to have a lot of offensive lineman, especially if one 145 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: goes down. I mean, you think about the Eagles one 146 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: of the top units in the league. So I wouldn't 147 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: be surprised to see if Joe Douglas adds more free 148 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: agents to the offensive line or even goes that route 149 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: during the draft. Obviously, Joe Douglas will continue to add 150 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: pieces moving forward along the offensive line and throughout the 151 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: rest of the team. And tomorrow's podcast not to look ahead. 152 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: We're gonna look at the defense, but we're gonna continue 153 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: to look at the offense. Right after we hear from 154 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: Olivia Landis and Bob was Shusan who caught up and 155 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: talked all things Jets. Let's start a little bit into 156 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 1: the Jets some free agency talk, and let's talk a 157 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: little bit about Joe Douglas. Heading into this offseason. General 158 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: manager Joe Lists spoke a lot about how he wants 159 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: to have certain areas of focus when heading into free 160 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: agency and the off season. Obviously number one, number one 161 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: in his list was rebuilding the offensive line. Now we've 162 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: known that there have been some reports out there from 163 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: multiple NFL analysts that the Jets have made some moves 164 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: in free agency. Would have been your initial thoughts on 165 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: the moves Joe Douglas has made on the offensive line. Yeah. 166 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: I think he has done exactly every time I've talked 167 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: to him what he said he was going to do philosophically. 168 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 1: I mean, even when we were having these conversations and 169 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: six months ago, he wasn't sure who would be available 170 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: or how much player A B or C would cost, 171 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: but he always said multiple things. Obviously, he is an 172 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: offensive lineman, so he knows you have to build a 173 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: brick wall in front of your young quarterback or you 174 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: have no chance. And um, I think he's looking at 175 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: each guy is having a price value, and if he 176 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: can meet that price value with each specific guy, great, 177 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: If he can't, well then you move on to someone else. 178 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: I do. I always believe that he has looked at 179 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: free agency as kind of option to UM. I think 180 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: he looks at the draft still as if you're gonna 181 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: build a team, you're gonna build it primarily through the draft. 182 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: And so even with this remaking of the offensive line, 183 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: you know who knows how the top ten picks go 184 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: in front of him, But if one of those tackles 185 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: is there at eleven, I fully expect that that's probably 186 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: the direction the Jets would go, unless they've got one 187 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: of these wide receivers like third on their board and 188 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: the guy drops all the way down to eleven and 189 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: you just have no choice but to take him because 190 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: you can't believe he fell as far as he fell. 191 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: I think they'll take an offensive lineman, and I think 192 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: they'll look at the offensive lineman they take in the 193 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: draft as their most important acquisition, not even any of 194 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: the free agents. Well, like we already mentioned, we've heard 195 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: some rumored trade signings that have had that have happened. 196 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: We've heard OFFL analysts report them around the league so far. 197 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: But when you look at this free agency period where 198 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: we're at right now, because it is such a weird time, 199 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 1: you know, with people and players not being able to 200 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: travel and everything, where does he go from here? What's 201 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: the next move? Well, I think he's even waiting on 202 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: a couple of the guys that are Jets, or at 203 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: least could conceivably be Jets again. Um, and I think 204 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: it kind of plays into his overall philosophy, like a 205 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: Jordan Jenkins or Robby Anderson, Guys like that one name 206 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: out there that everybody is wondering what's going to happen 207 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: with from a pass rushing standpoint, because he seems to 208 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: be clearly the most talented of the pass rushing group. 209 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: Jadavian Clowney and I think the Jets would be, of 210 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: course interested in a player like that if all of 211 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: a sudden the market kind of dried up for him 212 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: and it was a chance to bring him in at 213 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: a reasonable price. And now maybe going forward, you know, 214 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: kind of fits more to the framework of what they 215 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: want to do. So I think they are content to 216 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: sit back a little bit and see if some of 217 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: these players all to them, rather than getting antsie jumping 218 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: up and throwing money that they don't want to throw, 219 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: or think maybe these guys either aren't quite worth or 220 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: would upset the overall framework of what they want to 221 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: do to fill out kind of the bulk of the roster. 222 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys out there in free agency, 223 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: that second wave and third wave of free agency. Sometimes 224 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: people forget when those first big names come off the 225 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: board that there's another fifty players behind those guys that 226 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 1: are also looking for contracts, And it kind of seems sometimes, 227 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: in my personal opinion, when that second and third wave comes, 228 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: maybe even this time, it might be taking a little 229 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: bit longer to come because we're in such a weird 230 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: time frame with the virus going around. I don't know, yeah, 231 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: and and Robby Anderson in and of himself is a 232 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: really weird spot. It's just that I don't ever remember 233 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: a player being a part of a position group that 234 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: in the free agency world is so thin. There's like 235 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: three or four legit top notch wide receivers available in 236 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: free agency in the exact same year that there is 237 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: a draft class that is historic in terms of its 238 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: talent and depth. So for every team out there that 239 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: might be thinking about Robbie Anderson and Robbie Anderson's reps 240 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: might be coming back and saying, hey, I think I'm 241 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 1: worth X, that team is saying, well, not only are 242 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: we not sure you're worth X, we think you're worth why? 243 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: But we could get a guy in the third round 244 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: of the draft worth virtually nothing at least for his 245 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: first four years in the league, and he might be 246 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: better than you. So all of this is that pot 247 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: of trying to forecast the draft. How many wide receivers 248 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 1: do you have on your board? How deep does your 249 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: talent pool go? All right, Robbie, here's the deal. We've 250 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: got twenty five receivers that we think we could draft 251 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: in the first four rounds that all I think are 252 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: gonna be really good NFL players. But we also like 253 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: you and think you're a really good NFL player. But 254 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: we can't pay you what you might have gotten three 255 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: years ago when there was maybe a dirth of wide 256 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: receivers in the draft. It's it's just a very weird 257 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: kind of you know, alignment of the stars for Robby Anderson. 258 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: Before I let you go, Bob, I wanted to get 259 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: your input a little bit on quarterback Sam Donald, obviously 260 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: entering his third season in the NFL. We discussed this 261 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: right before we came on the podcast, but you know, 262 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: also e A. Eric Allen talked about it a little 263 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: bit earlier today. Sam Donald is now the longest neard 264 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: quarterback in the ANFC East. Him and Josh Allen obviously 265 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: both are from the same draft class, but he has 266 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: more starting experience. Do you expect him to have a 267 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: very big jump in your three and kind of bring 268 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: that with him. I think if they put an offensive 269 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: line in front of Sam Donald that can protect him, 270 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: then you're going to see him become the best quarterback 271 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: in the division. And I think his ability level is 272 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: different than anybody else. Now. Who knows who the Dolphins 273 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: are gonna end up with, and they're probably gonna end 274 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: up with a rookie quarterback of their own this year. 275 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: All of the signs point to them taking one of 276 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: those top quarterbacks probably to if they can make it happen. Um, 277 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: if you gave me my choice between Sam Donald and two, 278 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: I would take Sam Donald. Um. So I you know, 279 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: I think their future is brighter as things stand right 280 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: now than anybody in their division. And as scary as 281 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: it is to say it, it's been forty years since 282 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: you can even maybe have that argument because thirty seven 283 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: years ago Dan Marino was drafted and for the last 284 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: thirty seven years the Jets have had a Hall of 285 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: Fame quarterback or two on the teams in their own division. 286 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: And in thirty seven years, I think Sam Donald's probably 287 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: the best quarterback of the quarterback with the most promise 288 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: that they've had in that entire time. So he needs 289 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: to play all sixteen games, and he needs to stay healthy. 290 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: He needs to take care of himself. He needs to 291 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: um prove that he can be, you know, from a 292 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: durability standpoint, a guy that they can count on every 293 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: single week. But if he does that and they put 294 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: a a wall of blockers in front of him and 295 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: and give him some weapons, then yeah, the last thing 296 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: I'm worried about with the Jets is the quarterback. He's 297 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: the least of their words. Great to hear from Olivia 298 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: and the voice of the Jets, Bob was choosing Glad 299 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: they're doing well in their respective quarantines. But let's talk 300 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: about the rest of the chef Rosster. Obviously, the offensive 301 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: line a focal point for Joe Douglas and the Jets, 302 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: not only this season but every year in which he 303 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: is general manager of the New York Jets. And let's 304 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: go to the quarterback now, because obviously it's Sam Donald, 305 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: that's not a question who's starting. But the guys behind them, 306 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: there's only one guy under the under a contract, and 307 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: that is Mike White. Trevor Simeon and unrestricted free agent, 308 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: and same with David Fails. So who are some guys 309 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: that are on the market. Who are some guys that 310 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: you think could make sense for the Jets. Wow, that's 311 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: a great quiet because you know what I go back 312 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: to is the CBA, Greens, is that you're gonna see 313 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: rosters effectively be fifty five next year. So I think 314 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: what you're gonna see are a lot of teams go 315 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: with a veteran quarterback behind you and then that developmental 316 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: guy becomes a practice squad guy for you during the week. 317 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: So we'll have to see what happens with the Jets 318 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: down the line, but I would imagine they will be 319 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: in the market for a veteran um. Trevor Simeon Unfortunately, 320 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: he wasn't able to take over when Donald had the 321 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: monol because he went down against the Cleveland Browns and 322 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: that late head from Miles Garrett. So the Jets, unfortunately 323 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: last year they played four quarterbacks in the first four games. Greens. 324 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Sam Donald was seven and six as 325 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: a starter last year. Over the past two years, when 326 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: Sam Donald doesn't start, you know the Jets record. Oh no, 327 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: not at the top of my head that I don't. 328 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: But never by the way you get it, it's a 329 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 1: losing record zero six. Uh So, what Joe Douglas is 330 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: doing right now is he's trying to build that fortress 331 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: of round Sam Donald. He wants to protect the goods, 332 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: the guy who completed sixty two percent of his passes 333 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 1: last year through for three thousand yards. Excuse me, I'm 334 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: getting excited, um who I think is one of the 335 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 1: most talented young quarterbacks in the NFL. With with that 336 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: being said, um it it traditionally means uh. An NFL 337 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: season traditionally means that you're gonna you're gonna need a 338 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: veteran backup quarterback because it's tough to start sixteen games 339 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: every year. It really is. Yeah, yeah, no, no kidding. 340 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: I Actually, if we're just having fun and spitballing, here 341 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 1: one name that I would keep an eye all. Are 342 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: you gonna saying? I'm saying Joe Flacco just because he's 343 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: the guy that UH was founded essentially by Joe doug 344 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: list when he was on the Ravens out of Delaware 345 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: and he stood up he Joe Douglas stood on the 346 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: table for Flacco and supposedly reportedly the Broncos are waiving 347 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: him or releasing him with a failed physical designation, so 348 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens there. And yeah, then you brought 349 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: up You're glad you brought up the flacco Um release 350 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: because of the failed Injurynation designation. Here's the thing, if 351 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: the Jets did have interest in bringing him in again, 352 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: it might be a little tricky for a while because 353 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: that's a guy you're gonna want to have a physical 354 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: probably in your place, I would figure. But you're right, 355 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: Joe Douglas, if you look back, he's the guy who 356 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: found this dude out of Delaware and said, hey, Ozzie, 357 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: I think we got a guy here, and Ravens ultimately 358 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: take him. And you know, Joe Flacco might have prevented 359 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: Adam Gaze from getting the Super Bowl because if you 360 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: remember the Baltimore Ravens taking down the Denver Broncos a 361 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: few years back. And Okay, so let's just that's the quarterbacks. 362 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 1: Let's branch out to the wide receivers because right now 363 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: the Jets the receivers under contract a lot of questions. 364 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: Quincey and Noon, will Willie be healthy. Robby Anderson not 365 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: under contract, He's on the free agent market right now. 366 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: Josh Bellamy's is under contract. Vincent Smith, Braxton, Barrios. There's 367 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: not a whole lot of receivers that have a whole 368 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: lot of experience under contract. And obviously if you look 369 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: at the draft, this is something that this is a 370 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: class that is so deep and it's supposed to be 371 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: a historical draft class at wide receiver that the Jets 372 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: and theory, having four picks in the top eighty could 373 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: come out if they drafted two wide receivers with within 374 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: the top eighty, they could theoretically come out with two 375 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: Day one starters. Hold on Green's you're playing a lot 376 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: of mad and you're going two receivers in the top 377 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 1: eighty maybe depending what happened to free agency or how 378 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: how who gets drafted ahead? Like, let me ask you this, 379 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: if four tackles are gone by eleven and the trading 380 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: back is not an option, what position do you think 381 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: the Jets would go? Okay, I'm going back at you. 382 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: Are Judy, A, Judy and Lamb on the board at eleven, 383 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: You'll have your pick of the litter at receiver at 384 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: eleven because the four tackles in this scenario are off. No, 385 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: I understand, I'm asking you. If Judy and Lamb are 386 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 1: on the board at eleven. Oh you were you they are? 387 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: Do you think that's ultimately gonna happen? Well, okay, okay, 388 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,239 Speaker 1: you're saying not in my scenario. You're saying ultimately, I 389 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: think one of those one of those guys one or 390 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 1: two will will be off the board before Yeah, I 391 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: think so. I mean, I think it's it's an interesting 392 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: debate because of how rich this draft classes at receiver. 393 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: Do you does a team want to take the first 394 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 1: guy or does the team feel hey with taking somebody 395 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: in the top of the second round or the top 396 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: half of the third round because you know that it's 397 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: such a rich class. I think it's an interesting debate. 398 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: Now one team that I you know, I think a 399 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: couple of teams could definitely take a receiver really after 400 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: probably from seven to eleven. Okay, I don't think I 401 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: think that's really where you would see one or two 402 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: of those guys start to come off the board. Okay, Uh, 403 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 1: this is all fascinated to me. Here's the catch. Joe 404 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: Douglas is gonna bring in at least one free agent receiver. 405 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not putting pressure on the guy you 406 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 1: just talked about. The roster in terms of numbers, and 407 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: you mentioned the names. Well, I like where the Jets 408 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: are at slot on that inside across the board, because 409 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: we talked about news outlets saying the Jets had agreed 410 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: to terms with Brian Pool. I love that reciting. And 411 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: you got Jamison Crowder who made such a tremendous impact 412 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: last year. He knows how to find the soft spots 413 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: in the zone. He also is effective against man coverage 414 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: and he can make plays down the field. You're set 415 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: at slot position. Who are your guys on the boundary. 416 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: There's an interesting free agent out there. Let me name 417 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: him Robbie Anderson. I know that so well, let's to see. 418 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: You know, Joe Douglas been very complimentary of Robbie Anderson, 419 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: so was Adam case And and he is testing the 420 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: market right now. We don't know what's happening. Um, but 421 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: if Robbie Anderson signs with someone else, then you're gonna 422 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: turn and pivot. And you've mentioned some of the guys 423 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: out there, um, Philip Door set to Marius Thomas, who 424 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: was on this roster last year, came in and doesn't 425 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: did a nice job for your Greens, especially Yeahhard Perriman, 426 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: a former first round pick who ended last year with 427 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers three consecutive a hundred yard games, 428 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: so he was starting to turn the corner. Um. But 429 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: I'm hearing a lot of these guys want to go 430 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 1: play for Tom Brady right now. Yeah. You know somebody 431 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 1: that we have not talked about recently really at all, 432 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: Josh Doson is under contract and got about that. That 433 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 1: was great, great point, And that's a former first round 434 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: pick and again one of those low under the radar moves, 435 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: but again value potential value there. So one of the 436 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 1: most popular names in terms of mock trafts in the 437 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: third round of the Jets has been Florida State running 438 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,239 Speaker 1: back Cam Akers, and a lot of people think that 439 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: he would be a good compliment to Levy on Bell 440 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: at a little dynamic juice maybe and maybe a home 441 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: run threat for Adam Gates and add speed like we 442 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: were talking about. And before we wrap up here, I 443 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: would say Trent Cannon is still on the roster. And 444 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: you mentioned a couple of guys Josh Adams to your 445 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: former Eagle. Yeah, so Joe Douglas very familiar with John Chathams. 446 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: He was one of the players that He was one 447 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: of four players that the Jets claimed when Joe Douglass 448 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: took over as general manager. That was like one of 449 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: his first UH avenues, as he'd like to say, to 450 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: add talent to this team. One of those players was 451 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: Braxton Barrios, who was second in the NFL at the 452 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: end of the season and punt returned average. So how 453 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: about that great job exactly. This is Joe douglas first 454 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: time going through an off season as general manager of 455 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: the Jets, and we're, like we said earlier, were at 456 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: the very beginning stage is a free agency, even though 457 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: it feels like we've been doing this forever and we'll 458 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: see what happens from now on. But many thanks to 459 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 1: Olivia and Bob. I gotta say something real quick. Oh yeah, 460 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: bring it on, Bring it on. We didn't talk about 461 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: one position group on offense, and that was on purpose 462 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: tight ends that you offensively, that is your most solid 463 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 1: position period because you think about the depth, you think 464 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: what you've already done there. You resigned Ryan Griffin. Joe 465 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: Douglas resigning Ryan Griffin, who did it all for the 466 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: Jets last year and he's another good character guy, loves ball. Um. 467 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: You're knocking on wood that you get Chris Herndon back, 468 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 1: because that opens up things for Sam Donald and he 469 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: brings an element of speed. You resigned Daniel Brown before 470 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: free agency started, so listen, tight en position, lock it up. 471 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: You're good there, don't worry about it. I totally agree 472 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: with that. So again tomorrow's podcast, we'll do the same 473 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: thing what we did with the offense, but we'll do 474 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: with the defense. And if anything else happens in free 475 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: agency in regard to the Jets reportedly, then we will 476 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: break that down as well. But again, many thanks to Olivia, Bob, was, 477 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: Susan and e A. Thanks for hopping on again and 478 00:26:51,080 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: I'll talk to you tomorrow. Okay, brother s,
