Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Official Jet Podcast, powered
Speaker 1: by Amazon Web Services. On today's episode, we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: all things Jets. So the Jets have reportedly made a
Speaker 1: couple moves on both sides of the ball, but today
Speaker 1: we're focusing on the offense, and the Jets have supposedly
Speaker 1: signed three offensive lineman. But Eric Allen and myself gonna
Speaker 1: digest and take a look at the entire roster where
Speaker 1: things stand, who they've added they meaning the Jets, of course,
Speaker 1: and where the Jets could potentially and who they could
Speaker 1: potentially add as free agency continues on here. But first
Speaker 1: things first, he a welcome back to the podcast, and
Speaker 1: yeah you too, uh, like I said yesterday, and like
Speaker 1: you said, this is kind of like the nirvana, you know,
Speaker 1: cooped up in the house all day and now we
Speaker 1: finally get a chance to talk some football and actually
Speaker 1: some NFL news non related to the players. Sean Payton
Speaker 1: is the first coach or first real uh NFL executive
Speaker 1: to test positive for the coronavirus, and that just goes
Speaker 1: to show that everyone has to do their part to
Speaker 1: stay in their home, to keep washing your hands and
Speaker 1: doing everything they can to make sure that this virus
Speaker 1: gets curbed. Listen, this is an impact in everybody in
Speaker 1: the world right now, and it's hit the United States
Speaker 1: and full force. Uh, we're seeing more people. Um, the
Speaker 1: numbers get bigger by the day because there are more
Speaker 1: test kits and we all got to take care of
Speaker 1: each other out there. And that's what Sean Payton said
Speaker 1: that this deal is serious. Fortunately for the Saints head
Speaker 1: coach Greens, it seems like his symptoms are minor and
Speaker 1: he's gonna return and he's gonna be okay. But with
Speaker 1: all that being said, there are they're people who are
Speaker 1: dying right now, and I just want to say. The
Speaker 1: other thing is, um, we gotta applaud all the people
Speaker 1: are working in the medical field right now, whether it
Speaker 1: be nurses or doctors and everything they do each day,
Speaker 1: especially with the pressure right now, because um, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of people going to the hospital. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of people on fear right now, and I just want
Speaker 1: to say that, uh, um, you know, we are fortunate
Speaker 1: that we have so many people in this country looking
Speaker 1: out for each other. Um. So unfortunate news for Peyton,
Speaker 1: but on the positive side of the ledger, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be okay, and hopefully everybody out there who is a
Speaker 1: Jets fan and an NFL fan is doing okay. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get through this. Very well said, and let's take this.
Speaker 1: Let's focus on some Jets football, hopefully providing some light
Speaker 1: to Jets fans here and some sort of levity as
Speaker 1: we're all quarantined in our respective homes. So the Jets
Speaker 1: have reportedly made three offensive line was and we see
Speaker 1: it reportedly because the NFL teams can't technically officially do anything.
Speaker 1: So reportedly, the Jets have signed George Fan, re signed
Speaker 1: Alex Lewis, and signed connorra Governed, which really solidifies the
Speaker 1: left side of the line, assuming George and is the
Speaker 1: left tackle and not right tackle, even though he has
Speaker 1: experience at both positions. So let's just take a look
Speaker 1: at the offensive line before we move on to different positions.
Speaker 1: And I forgot to mention off the top that Olivia
Speaker 1: Landa spoke to Bob was Shoes in the radio voice
Speaker 1: of the Jets and talked all things Jets, and so
Speaker 1: let's just start with the offensive line. Last season, the
Speaker 1: unit was ravaged by injuries that had eleven different starters,
Speaker 1: like nine different starting combinations and so many players went
Speaker 1: to I R and battled injuries throughout. But the way
Speaker 1: it stands right now, I would assume left to right
Speaker 1: would be George Fan, Alex Lewis, Connumer, Governor, and Brian
Speaker 1: Winners and that Chuma Adogo who would be entering his
Speaker 1: second season in Yeah, Green's I mean if you're playing
Speaker 1: tomorrow and the Jets aren't playing tomorrow, So I don't
Speaker 1: look at the offensive line as a finished product. And
Speaker 1: we know the way Joe Douglas operates, that's not the
Speaker 1: way he is going to attack this thing. But no
Speaker 1: surprise because we've been talking about all week and this
Speaker 1: is it feels like Greens, this is one of the
Speaker 1: longest professional and personal weeks I think a lot of us,
Speaker 1: maybe I've ever had. Yeah, I have not been this
Speaker 1: excited for a weekend in the season or even in
Speaker 1: the off season at at work, but like I feel
Speaker 1: like I need a break from just working from home,
Speaker 1: which sounds weird anyway. Um, Yeah, so fans. The interesting
Speaker 1: thing that we didn't touch upon last night, it was
Speaker 1: almost like there's a mini trade here in free agency
Speaker 1: because Fan goes from Seattle to the Jets. That's what
Speaker 1: the news reports are right now, and Brandon Shell comes
Speaker 1: to an agreement with the Seattle Seahawks, so um conceivably,
Speaker 1: Shell will be starting on the right side for the
Speaker 1: Hawks next year, whereas Fan could start for the Jets
Speaker 1: on the left side. Again, I thought it was an
Speaker 1: intriguing move because here's a big he was played both
Speaker 1: left tackle and right tackle. He's got good feet. Anybody
Speaker 1: who plays college basketball to Division one level like Fan
Speaker 1: did does. And the other thing is, how are you
Speaker 1: gonna develop this guy in your system when you bring
Speaker 1: him in to one Jets drive Eventually, hopefully it's sooner
Speaker 1: than later. Green's um left guard. You gotta figure this
Speaker 1: is Alex Lewis's job. Period twelve starts last year. I
Speaker 1: consider him one of the guys when Joe Douglas always
Speaker 1: talks about I want guys who love football, Greens. You know,
Speaker 1: if this guy loves football, he's gonna get after it
Speaker 1: now at the center position. What I like with McGovern is,
Speaker 1: even if he plays at guard, you all of his
Speaker 1: sudden at center. You got very good depth there. Because
Speaker 1: don't forget about Jonathan Harrison either, because he is under contract.
Speaker 1: I thought he did a good things last year. But
Speaker 1: mcgougery also plays guard to exactly exactly, So I think
Speaker 1: we think in terms of who's starting all the time.
Speaker 1: I think we have to think too what Joe Douglas
Speaker 1: is doing here is he's building depth as well, no
Speaker 1: matter who ultimately is your your starters, your five. And
Speaker 1: then at right guard, Douglas is very complimentary Brian Winters
Speaker 1: at the NFL combine, what's to see how things shake out.
Speaker 1: Obviously Winners have been here for a long time, one
Speaker 1: of the longest, one of the longest tenured New York Jets.
Speaker 1: And then at right tackle, you mentioned Huma Adoga, a
Speaker 1: guy the previous regime draft in the third round. He's
Speaker 1: another intriguing athlete. Um but again there is no period
Speaker 1: on the sentence with Douglas. And as we talked about
Speaker 1: last night, Greens and you've been doing this draft deep
Speaker 1: dive for a long time, listen, a lot of prospects,
Speaker 1: good off mental line prospects. There are draft experts who say,
Speaker 1: and you can get starting tackles in the second and
Speaker 1: third round. Maybe not this year, but those are guys
Speaker 1: who are going to develop ultimately in the starting tackles.
Speaker 1: I know we think about in terms of that Big
Speaker 1: four here in the two thousand and twenty draft class.
Speaker 1: And what I like about the Big four in particular is,
Speaker 1: if let's say the Jets hype hypothetically, do you want
Speaker 1: to go with one of those four players at eleven,
Speaker 1: meaning Andrew Thomas, mackay Beckton, Tristan Worfs, and Jeddrick Wills.
Speaker 1: All those guys have experience on the right side of
Speaker 1: the line. And Andrew Thomas McKay Beckton played at left
Speaker 1: tackle at their respective schools, McKay Beckton for Louisville and
Speaker 1: Andrew Thomas for Georgia. But both of those guys have
Speaker 1: started seasons on the right side, whereas Tristan Worfs and
Speaker 1: Jeddrick Wills, their primary home at the collegiate level was
Speaker 1: on the right side of the line. So let's say, hypothetically,
Speaker 1: George Fant is your left tackle the any one of
Speaker 1: those four guys if the Jets draft one of those
Speaker 1: four or Calm April or whenever the draft ends up being,
Speaker 1: if it changes, any one of those four guys, if
Speaker 1: they end up in Green and white, have experience on
Speaker 1: the right side. And you know, I think that with
Speaker 1: Joe Douglass and the offensive line. It sounds like quantity
Speaker 1: is important in addition of quality, but he definitely wants
Speaker 1: to have a lot of offensive lineman, especially if one
Speaker 1: goes down. I mean, you think about the Eagles one
Speaker 1: of the top units in the league. So I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be surprised to see if Joe Douglas adds more free
Speaker 1: agents to the offensive line or even goes that route
Speaker 1: during the draft. Obviously, Joe Douglas will continue to add
Speaker 1: pieces moving forward along the offensive line and throughout the
Speaker 1: rest of the team. And tomorrow's podcast not to look ahead.
Speaker 1: We're gonna look at the defense, but we're gonna continue
Speaker 1: to look at the offense. Right after we hear from
Speaker 1: Olivia Landis and Bob was Shusan who caught up and
Speaker 1: talked all things Jets. Let's start a little bit into
Speaker 1: the Jets some free agency talk, and let's talk a
Speaker 1: little bit about Joe Douglas. Heading into this offseason. General
Speaker 1: manager Joe Lists spoke a lot about how he wants
Speaker 1: to have certain areas of focus when heading into free
Speaker 1: agency and the off season. Obviously number one, number one
Speaker 1: in his list was rebuilding the offensive line. Now we've
Speaker 1: known that there have been some reports out there from
Speaker 1: multiple NFL analysts that the Jets have made some moves
Speaker 1: in free agency. Would have been your initial thoughts on
Speaker 1: the moves Joe Douglas has made on the offensive line. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think he has done exactly every time I've talked
Speaker 1: to him what he said he was going to do philosophically.
Speaker 1: I mean, even when we were having these conversations and
Speaker 1: six months ago, he wasn't sure who would be available
Speaker 1: or how much player A B or C would cost,
Speaker 1: but he always said multiple things. Obviously, he is an
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, so he knows you have to build a
Speaker 1: brick wall in front of your young quarterback or you
Speaker 1: have no chance. And um, I think he's looking at
Speaker 1: each guy is having a price value, and if he
Speaker 1: can meet that price value with each specific guy, great,
Speaker 1: If he can't, well then you move on to someone else.
Speaker 1: I do. I always believe that he has looked at
Speaker 1: free agency as kind of option to UM. I think
Speaker 1: he looks at the draft still as if you're gonna
Speaker 1: build a team, you're gonna build it primarily through the draft.
Speaker 1: And so even with this remaking of the offensive line,
Speaker 1: you know who knows how the top ten picks go
Speaker 1: in front of him, But if one of those tackles
Speaker 1: is there at eleven, I fully expect that that's probably
Speaker 1: the direction the Jets would go, unless they've got one
Speaker 1: of these wide receivers like third on their board and
Speaker 1: the guy drops all the way down to eleven and
Speaker 1: you just have no choice but to take him because
Speaker 1: you can't believe he fell as far as he fell.
Speaker 1: I think they'll take an offensive lineman, and I think
Speaker 1: they'll look at the offensive lineman they take in the
Speaker 1: draft as their most important acquisition, not even any of
Speaker 1: the free agents. Well, like we already mentioned, we've heard
Speaker 1: some rumored trade signings that have had that have happened.
Speaker 1: We've heard OFFL analysts report them around the league so far.
Speaker 1: But when you look at this free agency period where
Speaker 1: we're at right now, because it is such a weird time,
Speaker 1: you know, with people and players not being able to
Speaker 1: travel and everything, where does he go from here? What's
Speaker 1: the next move? Well, I think he's even waiting on
Speaker 1: a couple of the guys that are Jets, or at
Speaker 1: least could conceivably be Jets again. Um, and I think
Speaker 1: it kind of plays into his overall philosophy, like a
Speaker 1: Jordan Jenkins or Robby Anderson, Guys like that one name
Speaker 1: out there that everybody is wondering what's going to happen
Speaker 1: with from a pass rushing standpoint, because he seems to
Speaker 1: be clearly the most talented of the pass rushing group.
Speaker 1: Jadavian Clowney and I think the Jets would be, of
Speaker 1: course interested in a player like that if all of
Speaker 1: a sudden the market kind of dried up for him
Speaker 1: and it was a chance to bring him in at
Speaker 1: a reasonable price. And now maybe going forward, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of fits more to the framework of what they
Speaker 1: want to do. So I think they are content to
Speaker 1: sit back a little bit and see if some of
Speaker 1: these players all to them, rather than getting antsie jumping
Speaker 1: up and throwing money that they don't want to throw,
Speaker 1: or think maybe these guys either aren't quite worth or
Speaker 1: would upset the overall framework of what they want to
Speaker 1: do to fill out kind of the bulk of the roster.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys out there in free agency,
Speaker 1: that second wave and third wave of free agency. Sometimes
Speaker 1: people forget when those first big names come off the
Speaker 1: board that there's another fifty players behind those guys that
Speaker 1: are also looking for contracts, And it kind of seems sometimes,
Speaker 1: in my personal opinion, when that second and third wave comes,
Speaker 1: maybe even this time, it might be taking a little
Speaker 1: bit longer to come because we're in such a weird
Speaker 1: time frame with the virus going around. I don't know, yeah,
Speaker 1: and and Robby Anderson in and of himself is a
Speaker 1: really weird spot. It's just that I don't ever remember
Speaker 1: a player being a part of a position group that
Speaker 1: in the free agency world is so thin. There's like
Speaker 1: three or four legit top notch wide receivers available in
Speaker 1: free agency in the exact same year that there is
Speaker 1: a draft class that is historic in terms of its
Speaker 1: talent and depth. So for every team out there that
Speaker 1: might be thinking about Robbie Anderson and Robbie Anderson's reps
Speaker 1: might be coming back and saying, hey, I think I'm
Speaker 1: worth X, that team is saying, well, not only are
Speaker 1: we not sure you're worth X, we think you're worth why?
Speaker 1: But we could get a guy in the third round
Speaker 1: of the draft worth virtually nothing at least for his
Speaker 1: first four years in the league, and he might be
Speaker 1: better than you. So all of this is that pot
Speaker 1: of trying to forecast the draft. How many wide receivers
Speaker 1: do you have on your board? How deep does your
Speaker 1: talent pool go? All right, Robbie, here's the deal. We've
Speaker 1: got twenty five receivers that we think we could draft
Speaker 1: in the first four rounds that all I think are
Speaker 1: gonna be really good NFL players. But we also like
Speaker 1: you and think you're a really good NFL player. But
Speaker 1: we can't pay you what you might have gotten three
Speaker 1: years ago when there was maybe a dirth of wide
Speaker 1: receivers in the draft. It's it's just a very weird
Speaker 1: kind of you know, alignment of the stars for Robby Anderson.
Speaker 1: Before I let you go, Bob, I wanted to get
Speaker 1: your input a little bit on quarterback Sam Donald, obviously
Speaker 1: entering his third season in the NFL. We discussed this
Speaker 1: right before we came on the podcast, but you know,
Speaker 1: also e A. Eric Allen talked about it a little
Speaker 1: bit earlier today. Sam Donald is now the longest neard
Speaker 1: quarterback in the ANFC East. Him and Josh Allen obviously
Speaker 1: both are from the same draft class, but he has
Speaker 1: more starting experience. Do you expect him to have a
Speaker 1: very big jump in your three and kind of bring
Speaker 1: that with him. I think if they put an offensive
Speaker 1: line in front of Sam Donald that can protect him,
Speaker 1: then you're going to see him become the best quarterback
Speaker 1: in the division. And I think his ability level is
Speaker 1: different than anybody else. Now. Who knows who the Dolphins
Speaker 1: are gonna end up with, and they're probably gonna end
Speaker 1: up with a rookie quarterback of their own this year.
Speaker 1: All of the signs point to them taking one of
Speaker 1: those top quarterbacks probably to if they can make it happen. Um,
Speaker 1: if you gave me my choice between Sam Donald and two,
Speaker 1: I would take Sam Donald. Um. So I you know,
Speaker 1: I think their future is brighter as things stand right
Speaker 1: now than anybody in their division. And as scary as
Speaker 1: it is to say it, it's been forty years since
Speaker 1: you can even maybe have that argument because thirty seven
Speaker 1: years ago Dan Marino was drafted and for the last
Speaker 1: thirty seven years the Jets have had a Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame quarterback or two on the teams in their own division.
Speaker 1: And in thirty seven years, I think Sam Donald's probably
Speaker 1: the best quarterback of the quarterback with the most promise
Speaker 1: that they've had in that entire time. So he needs
Speaker 1: to play all sixteen games, and he needs to stay healthy.
Speaker 1: He needs to take care of himself. He needs to
Speaker 1: um prove that he can be, you know, from a
Speaker 1: durability standpoint, a guy that they can count on every
Speaker 1: single week. But if he does that and they put
Speaker 1: a a wall of blockers in front of him and
Speaker 1: and give him some weapons, then yeah, the last thing
Speaker 1: I'm worried about with the Jets is the quarterback. He's
Speaker 1: the least of their words. Great to hear from Olivia
Speaker 1: and the voice of the Jets, Bob was choosing Glad
Speaker 1: they're doing well in their respective quarantines. But let's talk
Speaker 1: about the rest of the chef Rosster. Obviously, the offensive
Speaker 1: line a focal point for Joe Douglas and the Jets,
Speaker 1: not only this season but every year in which he
Speaker 1: is general manager of the New York Jets. And let's
Speaker 1: go to the quarterback now, because obviously it's Sam Donald,
Speaker 1: that's not a question who's starting. But the guys behind them,
Speaker 1: there's only one guy under the under a contract, and
Speaker 1: that is Mike White. Trevor Simeon and unrestricted free agent,
Speaker 1: and same with David Fails. So who are some guys
Speaker 1: that are on the market. Who are some guys that
Speaker 1: you think could make sense for the Jets. Wow, that's
Speaker 1: a great quiet because you know what I go back
Speaker 1: to is the CBA, Greens, is that you're gonna see
Speaker 1: rosters effectively be fifty five next year. So I think
Speaker 1: what you're gonna see are a lot of teams go
Speaker 1: with a veteran quarterback behind you and then that developmental
Speaker 1: guy becomes a practice squad guy for you during the week.
Speaker 1: So we'll have to see what happens with the Jets
Speaker 1: down the line, but I would imagine they will be
Speaker 1: in the market for a veteran um. Trevor Simeon Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: he wasn't able to take over when Donald had the
Speaker 1: monol because he went down against the Cleveland Browns and
Speaker 1: that late head from Miles Garrett. So the Jets, unfortunately
Speaker 1: last year they played four quarterbacks in the first four games. Greens.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Sam Donald was seven and six as
Speaker 1: a starter last year. Over the past two years, when
Speaker 1: Sam Donald doesn't start, you know the Jets record. Oh no,
Speaker 1: not at the top of my head that I don't.
Speaker 1: But never by the way you get it, it's a
Speaker 1: losing record zero six. Uh So, what Joe Douglas is
Speaker 1: doing right now is he's trying to build that fortress
Speaker 1: of round Sam Donald. He wants to protect the goods,
Speaker 1: the guy who completed sixty two percent of his passes
Speaker 1: last year through for three thousand yards. Excuse me, I'm
Speaker 1: getting excited, um who I think is one of the
Speaker 1: most talented young quarterbacks in the NFL. With with that
Speaker 1: being said, um it it traditionally means uh. An NFL
Speaker 1: season traditionally means that you're gonna you're gonna need a
Speaker 1: veteran backup quarterback because it's tough to start sixteen games
Speaker 1: every year. It really is. Yeah, yeah, no, no kidding.
Speaker 1: I Actually, if we're just having fun and spitballing, here
Speaker 1: one name that I would keep an eye all. Are
Speaker 1: you gonna saying? I'm saying Joe Flacco just because he's
Speaker 1: the guy that UH was founded essentially by Joe doug
Speaker 1: list when he was on the Ravens out of Delaware
Speaker 1: and he stood up he Joe Douglas stood on the
Speaker 1: table for Flacco and supposedly reportedly the Broncos are waiving
Speaker 1: him or releasing him with a failed physical designation, so
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens there. And yeah, then you brought
Speaker 1: up You're glad you brought up the flacco Um release
Speaker 1: because of the failed Injurynation designation. Here's the thing, if
Speaker 1: the Jets did have interest in bringing him in again,
Speaker 1: it might be a little tricky for a while because
Speaker 1: that's a guy you're gonna want to have a physical
Speaker 1: probably in your place, I would figure. But you're right,
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas, if you look back, he's the guy who
Speaker 1: found this dude out of Delaware and said, hey, Ozzie,
Speaker 1: I think we got a guy here, and Ravens ultimately
Speaker 1: take him. And you know, Joe Flacco might have prevented
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze from getting the Super Bowl because if you
Speaker 1: remember the Baltimore Ravens taking down the Denver Broncos a
Speaker 1: few years back. And Okay, so let's just that's the quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: Let's branch out to the wide receivers because right now
Speaker 1: the Jets the receivers under contract a lot of questions.
Speaker 1: Quincey and Noon, will Willie be healthy. Robby Anderson not
Speaker 1: under contract, He's on the free agent market right now.
Speaker 1: Josh Bellamy's is under contract. Vincent Smith, Braxton, Barrios. There's
Speaker 1: not a whole lot of receivers that have a whole
Speaker 1: lot of experience under contract. And obviously if you look
Speaker 1: at the draft, this is something that this is a
Speaker 1: class that is so deep and it's supposed to be
Speaker 1: a historical draft class at wide receiver that the Jets
Speaker 1: and theory, having four picks in the top eighty could
Speaker 1: come out if they drafted two wide receivers with within
Speaker 1: the top eighty, they could theoretically come out with two
Speaker 1: Day one starters. Hold on Green's you're playing a lot
Speaker 1: of mad and you're going two receivers in the top
Speaker 1: eighty maybe depending what happened to free agency or how
Speaker 1: how who gets drafted ahead? Like, let me ask you this,
Speaker 1: if four tackles are gone by eleven and the trading
Speaker 1: back is not an option, what position do you think
Speaker 1: the Jets would go? Okay, I'm going back at you.
Speaker 1: Are Judy, A, Judy and Lamb on the board at eleven,
Speaker 1: You'll have your pick of the litter at receiver at
Speaker 1: eleven because the four tackles in this scenario are off. No,
Speaker 1: I understand, I'm asking you. If Judy and Lamb are
Speaker 1: on the board at eleven. Oh you were you they are?
Speaker 1: Do you think that's ultimately gonna happen? Well, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: you're saying not in my scenario. You're saying ultimately, I
Speaker 1: think one of those one of those guys one or
Speaker 1: two will will be off the board before Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think so. I mean, I think it's it's an interesting
Speaker 1: debate because of how rich this draft classes at receiver.
Speaker 1: Do you does a team want to take the first
Speaker 1: guy or does the team feel hey with taking somebody
Speaker 1: in the top of the second round or the top
Speaker 1: half of the third round because you know that it's
Speaker 1: such a rich class. I think it's an interesting debate.
Speaker 1: Now one team that I you know, I think a
Speaker 1: couple of teams could definitely take a receiver really after
Speaker 1: probably from seven to eleven. Okay, I don't think I
Speaker 1: think that's really where you would see one or two
Speaker 1: of those guys start to come off the board. Okay, Uh,
Speaker 1: this is all fascinated to me. Here's the catch. Joe
Speaker 1: Douglas is gonna bring in at least one free agent receiver.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not putting pressure on the guy you
Speaker 1: just talked about. The roster in terms of numbers, and
Speaker 1: you mentioned the names. Well, I like where the Jets
Speaker 1: are at slot on that inside across the board, because
Speaker 1: we talked about news outlets saying the Jets had agreed
Speaker 1: to terms with Brian Pool. I love that reciting. And
Speaker 1: you got Jamison Crowder who made such a tremendous impact
Speaker 1: last year. He knows how to find the soft spots
Speaker 1: in the zone. He also is effective against man coverage
Speaker 1: and he can make plays down the field. You're set
Speaker 1: at slot position. Who are your guys on the boundary.
Speaker 1: There's an interesting free agent out there. Let me name
Speaker 1: him Robbie Anderson. I know that so well, let's to see.
Speaker 1: You know, Joe Douglas been very complimentary of Robbie Anderson,
Speaker 1: so was Adam case And and he is testing the
Speaker 1: market right now. We don't know what's happening. Um, but
Speaker 1: if Robbie Anderson signs with someone else, then you're gonna
Speaker 1: turn and pivot. And you've mentioned some of the guys
Speaker 1: out there, um, Philip Door set to Marius Thomas, who
Speaker 1: was on this roster last year, came in and doesn't
Speaker 1: did a nice job for your Greens, especially Yeahhard Perriman,
Speaker 1: a former first round pick who ended last year with
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers three consecutive a hundred yard games,
Speaker 1: so he was starting to turn the corner. Um. But
Speaker 1: I'm hearing a lot of these guys want to go
Speaker 1: play for Tom Brady right now. Yeah. You know somebody
Speaker 1: that we have not talked about recently really at all,
Speaker 1: Josh Doson is under contract and got about that. That
Speaker 1: was great, great point, And that's a former first round
Speaker 1: pick and again one of those low under the radar moves,
Speaker 1: but again value potential value there. So one of the
Speaker 1: most popular names in terms of mock trafts in the
Speaker 1: third round of the Jets has been Florida State running
Speaker 1: back Cam Akers, and a lot of people think that
Speaker 1: he would be a good compliment to Levy on Bell
Speaker 1: at a little dynamic juice maybe and maybe a home
Speaker 1: run threat for Adam Gates and add speed like we
Speaker 1: were talking about. And before we wrap up here, I
Speaker 1: would say Trent Cannon is still on the roster. And
Speaker 1: you mentioned a couple of guys Josh Adams to your
Speaker 1: former Eagle. Yeah, so Joe Douglas very familiar with John Chathams.
Speaker 1: He was one of the players that He was one
Speaker 1: of four players that the Jets claimed when Joe Douglass
Speaker 1: took over as general manager. That was like one of
Speaker 1: his first UH avenues, as he'd like to say, to
Speaker 1: add talent to this team. One of those players was
Speaker 1: Braxton Barrios, who was second in the NFL at the
Speaker 1: end of the season and punt returned average. So how
Speaker 1: about that great job exactly. This is Joe douglas first
Speaker 1: time going through an off season as general manager of
Speaker 1: the Jets, and we're, like we said earlier, were at
Speaker 1: the very beginning stage is a free agency, even though
Speaker 1: it feels like we've been doing this forever and we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens from now on. But many thanks to
Speaker 1: Olivia and Bob. I gotta say something real quick. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: bring it on, Bring it on. We didn't talk about
Speaker 1: one position group on offense, and that was on purpose
Speaker 1: tight ends that you offensively, that is your most solid
Speaker 1: position period because you think about the depth, you think
Speaker 1: what you've already done there. You resigned Ryan Griffin. Joe
Speaker 1: Douglas resigning Ryan Griffin, who did it all for the
Speaker 1: Jets last year and he's another good character guy, loves ball. Um.
Speaker 1: You're knocking on wood that you get Chris Herndon back,
Speaker 1: because that opens up things for Sam Donald and he
Speaker 1: brings an element of speed. You resigned Daniel Brown before
Speaker 1: free agency started, so listen, tight en position, lock it up.
Speaker 1: You're good there, don't worry about it. I totally agree
Speaker 1: with that. So again tomorrow's podcast, we'll do the same
Speaker 1: thing what we did with the offense, but we'll do
Speaker 1: with the defense. And if anything else happens in free
Speaker 1: agency in regard to the Jets reportedly, then we will
Speaker 1: break that down as well. But again, many thanks to Olivia, Bob, was,
Speaker 1: Susan and e A. Thanks for hopping on again and
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you tomorrow. Okay, brother s,
