WEBVTT - LISTEN | Jets Free Agency Update - Ep. 4 (3/20) 0:00:02.320 --> 0:00:05.280 Welcome to another edition of the Official Jet Podcast, powered 0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:08.680 by Amazon Web Services. On today's episode, we're gonna talk 0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:11.160 all things Jets. So the Jets have reportedly made a 0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:13.840 couple moves on both sides of the ball, but today 0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:17.880 we're focusing on the offense, and the Jets have supposedly 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:21.400 signed three offensive lineman. But Eric Allen and myself gonna 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:24.720 digest and take a look at the entire roster where 0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:28.680 things stand, who they've added they meaning the Jets, of course, 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:31.720 and where the Jets could potentially and who they could 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:35.800 potentially add as free agency continues on here. But first 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.519 things first, he a welcome back to the podcast, and 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:43.400 yeah you too, uh, like I said yesterday, and like 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:46.239 you said, this is kind of like the nirvana, you know, 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:48.080 cooped up in the house all day and now we 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:51.120 finally get a chance to talk some football and actually 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.640 some NFL news non related to the players. Sean Payton 0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:58.760 is the first coach or first real uh NFL executive 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.960 to test positive for the coronavirus, and that just goes 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.360 to show that everyone has to do their part to 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:07.640 stay in their home, to keep washing your hands and 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.360 doing everything they can to make sure that this virus 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.280 gets curbed. Listen, this is an impact in everybody in 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.440 the world right now, and it's hit the United States 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:21.040 and full force. Uh, we're seeing more people. Um, the 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.360 numbers get bigger by the day because there are more 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.840 test kits and we all got to take care of 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.559 each other out there. And that's what Sean Payton said 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:33.559 that this deal is serious. Fortunately for the Saints head 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:37.440 coach Greens, it seems like his symptoms are minor and 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:41.440 he's gonna return and he's gonna be okay. But with 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.640 all that being said, there are they're people who are 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.160 dying right now, and I just want to say. The 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:52.640 other thing is, um, we gotta applaud all the people 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.960 are working in the medical field right now, whether it 0:01:56.000 --> 0:02:01.400 be nurses or doctors and everything they do each day, 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.920 especially with the pressure right now, because um, there's a 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.200 lot of people going to the hospital. There's a lot 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.359 of people on fear right now, and I just want 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.600 to say that, uh, um, you know, we are fortunate 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.040 that we have so many people in this country looking 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.960 out for each other. Um. So unfortunate news for Peyton, 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.760 but on the positive side of the ledger, he's gonna 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.840 be okay, and hopefully everybody out there who is a 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:28.000 Jets fan and an NFL fan is doing okay. We're 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:31.680 gonna get through this. Very well said, and let's take this. 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.840 Let's focus on some Jets football, hopefully providing some light 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.080 to Jets fans here and some sort of levity as 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.760 we're all quarantined in our respective homes. So the Jets 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.840 have reportedly made three offensive line was and we see 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.960 it reportedly because the NFL teams can't technically officially do anything. 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:53.280 So reportedly, the Jets have signed George Fan, re signed 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:57.960 Alex Lewis, and signed connorra Governed, which really solidifies the 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.440 left side of the line, assuming George and is the 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.880 left tackle and not right tackle, even though he has 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.880 experience at both positions. So let's just take a look 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.600 at the offensive line before we move on to different positions. 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.920 And I forgot to mention off the top that Olivia 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.240 Landa spoke to Bob was Shoes in the radio voice 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.600 of the Jets and talked all things Jets, and so 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.040 let's just start with the offensive line. Last season, the 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:24.320 unit was ravaged by injuries that had eleven different starters, 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.160 like nine different starting combinations and so many players went 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.839 to I R and battled injuries throughout. But the way 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:33.960 it stands right now, I would assume left to right 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.240 would be George Fan, Alex Lewis, Connumer, Governor, and Brian 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.520 Winners and that Chuma Adogo who would be entering his 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:45.920 second season in Yeah, Green's I mean if you're playing 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.200 tomorrow and the Jets aren't playing tomorrow, So I don't 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.680 look at the offensive line as a finished product. And 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.119 we know the way Joe Douglas operates, that's not the 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.800 way he is going to attack this thing. But no 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.560 surprise because we've been talking about all week and this 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.560 is it feels like Greens, this is one of the 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:08.720 longest professional and personal weeks I think a lot of us, 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.880 maybe I've ever had. Yeah, I have not been this 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:16.080 excited for a weekend in the season or even in 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.159 the off season at at work, but like I feel 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.240 like I need a break from just working from home, 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:27.000 which sounds weird anyway. Um, Yeah, so fans. The interesting 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.560 thing that we didn't touch upon last night, it was 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.200 almost like there's a mini trade here in free agency 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:36.760 because Fan goes from Seattle to the Jets. That's what 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.440 the news reports are right now, and Brandon Shell comes 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:45.560 to an agreement with the Seattle Seahawks, so um conceivably, 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:49.240 Shell will be starting on the right side for the 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:53.800 Hawks next year, whereas Fan could start for the Jets 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.440 on the left side. Again, I thought it was an 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:00.760 intriguing move because here's a big he was played both 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.560 left tackle and right tackle. He's got good feet. Anybody 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.800 who plays college basketball to Division one level like Fan 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:12.440 did does. And the other thing is, how are you 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.520 gonna develop this guy in your system when you bring 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.400 him in to one Jets drive Eventually, hopefully it's sooner 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:23.320 than later. Green's um left guard. You gotta figure this 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:28.960 is Alex Lewis's job. Period twelve starts last year. I 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.960 consider him one of the guys when Joe Douglas always 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.440 talks about I want guys who love football, Greens. You know, 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:40.800 if this guy loves football, he's gonna get after it 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:46.400 now at the center position. What I like with McGovern is, 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:50.240 even if he plays at guard, you all of his 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:54.720 sudden at center. You got very good depth there. Because 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:59.080 don't forget about Jonathan Harrison either, because he is under contract. 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.400 I thought he did a good things last year. But 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:07.040 mcgougery also plays guard to exactly exactly, So I think 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.359 we think in terms of who's starting all the time. 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:13.040 I think we have to think too what Joe Douglas 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.880 is doing here is he's building depth as well, no 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:21.400 matter who ultimately is your your starters, your five. And 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:25.799 then at right guard, Douglas is very complimentary Brian Winters 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:29.440 at the NFL combine, what's to see how things shake out. 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.000 Obviously Winners have been here for a long time, one 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.960 of the longest, one of the longest tenured New York Jets. 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.280 And then at right tackle, you mentioned Huma Adoga, a 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.640 guy the previous regime draft in the third round. He's 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:47.200 another intriguing athlete. Um but again there is no period 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.719 on the sentence with Douglas. And as we talked about 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:54.080 last night, Greens and you've been doing this draft deep 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:58.960 dive for a long time, listen, a lot of prospects, 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:03.200 good off mental line prospects. There are draft experts who say, 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.320 and you can get starting tackles in the second and 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:09.679 third round. Maybe not this year, but those are guys 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.760 who are going to develop ultimately in the starting tackles. 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.600 I know we think about in terms of that Big 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.560 four here in the two thousand and twenty draft class. 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.600 And what I like about the Big four in particular is, 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.840 if let's say the Jets hype hypothetically, do you want 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:26.960 to go with one of those four players at eleven, 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:31.440 meaning Andrew Thomas, mackay Beckton, Tristan Worfs, and Jeddrick Wills. 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.480 All those guys have experience on the right side of 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:38.040 the line. And Andrew Thomas McKay Beckton played at left 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.200 tackle at their respective schools, McKay Beckton for Louisville and 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:44.520 Andrew Thomas for Georgia. But both of those guys have 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.680 started seasons on the right side, whereas Tristan Worfs and 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:51.280 Jeddrick Wills, their primary home at the collegiate level was 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.960 on the right side of the line. So let's say, hypothetically, 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.800 George Fant is your left tackle the any one of 0:07:57.800 --> 0:07:59.800 those four guys if the Jets draft one of those 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.640 four or Calm April or whenever the draft ends up being, 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.720 if it changes, any one of those four guys, if 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:07.760 they end up in Green and white, have experience on 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:11.440 the right side. And you know, I think that with 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.960 Joe Douglass and the offensive line. It sounds like quantity 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.320 is important in addition of quality, but he definitely wants 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:22.040 to have a lot of offensive lineman, especially if one 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.560 goes down. I mean, you think about the Eagles one 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.000 of the top units in the league. So I wouldn't 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.840 be surprised to see if Joe Douglas adds more free 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:32.880 agents to the offensive line or even goes that route 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.800 during the draft. Obviously, Joe Douglas will continue to add 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.600 pieces moving forward along the offensive line and throughout the 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.439 rest of the team. And tomorrow's podcast not to look ahead. 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.959 We're gonna look at the defense, but we're gonna continue 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:46.800 to look at the offense. Right after we hear from 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.680 Olivia Landis and Bob was Shusan who caught up and 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.600 talked all things Jets. Let's start a little bit into 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.079 the Jets some free agency talk, and let's talk a 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:59.120 little bit about Joe Douglas. Heading into this offseason. General 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.240 manager Joe Lists spoke a lot about how he wants 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.880 to have certain areas of focus when heading into free 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:10.320 agency and the off season. Obviously number one, number one 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.800 in his list was rebuilding the offensive line. Now we've 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:15.679 known that there have been some reports out there from 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.400 multiple NFL analysts that the Jets have made some moves 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.560 in free agency. Would have been your initial thoughts on 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:25.000 the moves Joe Douglas has made on the offensive line. Yeah. 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.520 I think he has done exactly every time I've talked 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.960 to him what he said he was going to do philosophically. 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:33.679 I mean, even when we were having these conversations and 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:37.880 six months ago, he wasn't sure who would be available 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.480 or how much player A B or C would cost, 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.440 but he always said multiple things. Obviously, he is an 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.520 offensive lineman, so he knows you have to build a 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.440 brick wall in front of your young quarterback or you 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:53.480 have no chance. And um, I think he's looking at 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.520 each guy is having a price value, and if he 0:09:56.559 --> 0:10:00.360 can meet that price value with each specific guy, great, 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.200 If he can't, well then you move on to someone else. 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.000 I do. I always believe that he has looked at 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:10.280 free agency as kind of option to UM. I think 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.840 he looks at the draft still as if you're gonna 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.880 build a team, you're gonna build it primarily through the draft. 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:19.640 And so even with this remaking of the offensive line, 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:24.040 you know who knows how the top ten picks go 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.880 in front of him, But if one of those tackles 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:30.000 is there at eleven, I fully expect that that's probably 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.520 the direction the Jets would go, unless they've got one 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:36.160 of these wide receivers like third on their board and 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.120 the guy drops all the way down to eleven and 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.320 you just have no choice but to take him because 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.360 you can't believe he fell as far as he fell. 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.640 I think they'll take an offensive lineman, and I think 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.040 they'll look at the offensive lineman they take in the 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.320 draft as their most important acquisition, not even any of 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.000 the free agents. Well, like we already mentioned, we've heard 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:59.480 some rumored trade signings that have had that have happened. 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.960 We've heard OFFL analysts report them around the league so far. 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.640 But when you look at this free agency period where 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.280 we're at right now, because it is such a weird time, 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.199 you know, with people and players not being able to 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.480 travel and everything, where does he go from here? What's 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.440 the next move? Well, I think he's even waiting on 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.160 a couple of the guys that are Jets, or at 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.760 least could conceivably be Jets again. Um, and I think 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:24.920 it kind of plays into his overall philosophy, like a 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.600 Jordan Jenkins or Robby Anderson, Guys like that one name 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.200 out there that everybody is wondering what's going to happen 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.440 with from a pass rushing standpoint, because he seems to 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.360 be clearly the most talented of the pass rushing group. 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:41.440 Jadavian Clowney and I think the Jets would be, of 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.240 course interested in a player like that if all of 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.000 a sudden the market kind of dried up for him 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:48.640 and it was a chance to bring him in at 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.800 a reasonable price. And now maybe going forward, you know, 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:53.440 kind of fits more to the framework of what they 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:57.160 want to do. So I think they are content to 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.120 sit back a little bit and see if some of 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:04.240 these players all to them, rather than getting antsie jumping 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.360 up and throwing money that they don't want to throw, 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:11.480 or think maybe these guys either aren't quite worth or 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.440 would upset the overall framework of what they want to 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.559 do to fill out kind of the bulk of the roster. 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.000 There's a lot of guys out there in free agency, 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:24.280 that second wave and third wave of free agency. Sometimes 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:27.840 people forget when those first big names come off the 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.880 board that there's another fifty players behind those guys that 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:34.439 are also looking for contracts, And it kind of seems sometimes, 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.200 in my personal opinion, when that second and third wave comes, 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:39.480 maybe even this time, it might be taking a little 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:41.800 bit longer to come because we're in such a weird 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:46.320 time frame with the virus going around. I don't know, yeah, 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:48.920 and and Robby Anderson in and of himself is a 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:53.200 really weird spot. It's just that I don't ever remember 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:57.520 a player being a part of a position group that 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:01.560 in the free agency world is so thin. There's like 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:05.280 three or four legit top notch wide receivers available in 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:09.520 free agency in the exact same year that there is 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:13.360 a draft class that is historic in terms of its 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:17.920 talent and depth. So for every team out there that 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:21.440 might be thinking about Robbie Anderson and Robbie Anderson's reps 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.360 might be coming back and saying, hey, I think I'm 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.839 worth X, that team is saying, well, not only are 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:31.120 we not sure you're worth X, we think you're worth why? 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.000 But we could get a guy in the third round 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.720 of the draft worth virtually nothing at least for his 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.840 first four years in the league, and he might be 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:42.600 better than you. So all of this is that pot 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:46.000 of trying to forecast the draft. How many wide receivers 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:47.839 do you have on your board? How deep does your 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.960 talent pool go? All right, Robbie, here's the deal. We've 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:54.080 got twenty five receivers that we think we could draft 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:58.320 in the first four rounds that all I think are 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.120 gonna be really good NFL players. But we also like 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.320 you and think you're a really good NFL player. But 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.400 we can't pay you what you might have gotten three 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.480 years ago when there was maybe a dirth of wide 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.120 receivers in the draft. It's it's just a very weird 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:15.120 kind of you know, alignment of the stars for Robby Anderson. 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:17.920 Before I let you go, Bob, I wanted to get 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:21.440 your input a little bit on quarterback Sam Donald, obviously 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.200 entering his third season in the NFL. We discussed this 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.560 right before we came on the podcast, but you know, 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.240 also e A. Eric Allen talked about it a little 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.520 bit earlier today. Sam Donald is now the longest neard 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:39.280 quarterback in the ANFC East. Him and Josh Allen obviously 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.760 both are from the same draft class, but he has 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:46.000 more starting experience. Do you expect him to have a 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.320 very big jump in your three and kind of bring 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:51.040 that with him. I think if they put an offensive 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.200 line in front of Sam Donald that can protect him, 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.960 then you're going to see him become the best quarterback 0:14:56.560 --> 0:15:00.640 in the division. And I think his ability level is 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:04.240 different than anybody else. Now. Who knows who the Dolphins 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.400 are gonna end up with, and they're probably gonna end 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.280 up with a rookie quarterback of their own this year. 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:11.560 All of the signs point to them taking one of 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:16.200 those top quarterbacks probably to if they can make it happen. Um, 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:18.560 if you gave me my choice between Sam Donald and two, 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.760 I would take Sam Donald. Um. So I you know, 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:25.280 I think their future is brighter as things stand right 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:29.440 now than anybody in their division. And as scary as 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.760 it is to say it, it's been forty years since 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:36.920 you can even maybe have that argument because thirty seven 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:40.320 years ago Dan Marino was drafted and for the last 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.240 thirty seven years the Jets have had a Hall of 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:46.720 Fame quarterback or two on the teams in their own division. 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.080 And in thirty seven years, I think Sam Donald's probably 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:52.200 the best quarterback of the quarterback with the most promise 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.280 that they've had in that entire time. So he needs 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:58.320 to play all sixteen games, and he needs to stay healthy. 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.360 He needs to take care of himself. He needs to 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:04.080 um prove that he can be, you know, from a 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.880 durability standpoint, a guy that they can count on every 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.640 single week. But if he does that and they put 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.640 a a wall of blockers in front of him and 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.360 and give him some weapons, then yeah, the last thing 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:17.800 I'm worried about with the Jets is the quarterback. He's 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:21.120 the least of their words. Great to hear from Olivia 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.240 and the voice of the Jets, Bob was choosing Glad 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:27.680 they're doing well in their respective quarantines. But let's talk 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.080 about the rest of the chef Rosster. Obviously, the offensive 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.720 line a focal point for Joe Douglas and the Jets, 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.120 not only this season but every year in which he 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:38.480 is general manager of the New York Jets. And let's 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.360 go to the quarterback now, because obviously it's Sam Donald, 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:44.200 that's not a question who's starting. But the guys behind them, 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.120 there's only one guy under the under a contract, and 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:51.080 that is Mike White. Trevor Simeon and unrestricted free agent, 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.280 and same with David Fails. So who are some guys 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.000 that are on the market. Who are some guys that 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:59.440 you think could make sense for the Jets. Wow, that's 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.560 a great quiet because you know what I go back 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.480 to is the CBA, Greens, is that you're gonna see 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:09.240 rosters effectively be fifty five next year. So I think 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.000 what you're gonna see are a lot of teams go 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:16.640 with a veteran quarterback behind you and then that developmental 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:20.520 guy becomes a practice squad guy for you during the week. 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:23.399 So we'll have to see what happens with the Jets 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:26.280 down the line, but I would imagine they will be 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:31.200 in the market for a veteran um. Trevor Simeon Unfortunately, 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:36.040 he wasn't able to take over when Donald had the 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.720 monol because he went down against the Cleveland Browns and 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:42.800 that late head from Miles Garrett. So the Jets, unfortunately 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:47.080 last year they played four quarterbacks in the first four games. Greens. 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.399 Here's the thing. Sam Donald was seven and six as 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.960 a starter last year. Over the past two years, when 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:59.040 Sam Donald doesn't start, you know the Jets record. Oh no, 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:00.480 not at the top of my head that I don't. 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.399 But never by the way you get it, it's a 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:08.159 losing record zero six. Uh So, what Joe Douglas is 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:11.400 doing right now is he's trying to build that fortress 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.280 of round Sam Donald. He wants to protect the goods, 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:17.680 the guy who completed sixty two percent of his passes 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.640 last year through for three thousand yards. Excuse me, I'm 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:23.679 getting excited, um who I think is one of the 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:27.360 most talented young quarterbacks in the NFL. With with that 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:35.280 being said, um it it traditionally means uh. An NFL 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:37.520 season traditionally means that you're gonna you're gonna need a 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:41.560 veteran backup quarterback because it's tough to start sixteen games 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.800 every year. It really is. Yeah, yeah, no, no kidding. 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:48.480 I Actually, if we're just having fun and spitballing, here 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:50.199 one name that I would keep an eye all. Are 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:55.200 you gonna saying? I'm saying Joe Flacco just because he's 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:59.960 the guy that UH was founded essentially by Joe doug 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.119 list when he was on the Ravens out of Delaware 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.680 and he stood up he Joe Douglas stood on the 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:09.080 table for Flacco and supposedly reportedly the Broncos are waiving 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.560 him or releasing him with a failed physical designation, so 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:15.520 we'll see what happens there. And yeah, then you brought 0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:20.200 up You're glad you brought up the flacco Um release 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:24.400 because of the failed Injurynation designation. Here's the thing, if 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:27.600 the Jets did have interest in bringing him in again, 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:30.960 it might be a little tricky for a while because 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:34.080 that's a guy you're gonna want to have a physical 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:38.920 probably in your place, I would figure. But you're right, 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:43.120 Joe Douglas, if you look back, he's the guy who 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:47.040 found this dude out of Delaware and said, hey, Ozzie, 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:51.520 I think we got a guy here, and Ravens ultimately 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:55.600 take him. And you know, Joe Flacco might have prevented 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.760 Adam Gaze from getting the Super Bowl because if you 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:02.359 remember the Baltimore Ravens taking down the Denver Broncos a 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:05.520 few years back. And Okay, so let's just that's the quarterbacks. 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:08.120 Let's branch out to the wide receivers because right now 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:11.320 the Jets the receivers under contract a lot of questions. 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:14.359 Quincey and Noon, will Willie be healthy. Robby Anderson not 0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:17.320 under contract, He's on the free agent market right now. 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:22.560 Josh Bellamy's is under contract. Vincent Smith, Braxton, Barrios. There's 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:24.480 not a whole lot of receivers that have a whole 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:28.880 lot of experience under contract. And obviously if you look 0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:34.640 at the draft, this is something that this is a 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:37.440 class that is so deep and it's supposed to be 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:41.280 a historical draft class at wide receiver that the Jets 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:44.639 and theory, having four picks in the top eighty could 0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:47.840 come out if they drafted two wide receivers with within 0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:50.800 the top eighty, they could theoretically come out with two 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:54.520 Day one starters. Hold on Green's you're playing a lot 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:56.520 of mad and you're going two receivers in the top 0:20:56.560 --> 0:21:02.360 eighty maybe depending what happened to free agency or how 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:05.440 how who gets drafted ahead? Like, let me ask you this, 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:10.200 if four tackles are gone by eleven and the trading 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:13.480 back is not an option, what position do you think 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:16.600 the Jets would go? Okay, I'm going back at you. 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:20.760 Are Judy, A, Judy and Lamb on the board at eleven, 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:24.240 You'll have your pick of the litter at receiver at 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:28.520 eleven because the four tackles in this scenario are off. No, 0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:31.040 I understand, I'm asking you. If Judy and Lamb are 0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:33.439 on the board at eleven. Oh you were you they are? 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:37.760 Do you think that's ultimately gonna happen? Well, okay, okay, 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:41.239 you're saying not in my scenario. You're saying ultimately, I 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:43.560 think one of those one of those guys one or 0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:47.159 two will will be off the board before Yeah, I 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:49.480 think so. I mean, I think it's it's an interesting 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:53.680 debate because of how rich this draft classes at receiver. 0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:57.840 Do you does a team want to take the first 0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:01.160 guy or does the team feel hey with taking somebody 0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:03.760 in the top of the second round or the top 0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:06.119 half of the third round because you know that it's 0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:08.159 such a rich class. I think it's an interesting debate. 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:10.879 Now one team that I you know, I think a 0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:14.520 couple of teams could definitely take a receiver really after 0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:19.320 probably from seven to eleven. Okay, I don't think I 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:21.760
