15
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 4: Appreciate you guys having me. What's it been like the

16
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 4: past month or so. It's been a whirlwind. It's been

17
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 4: a blur, but it's been really good.

18
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 7: And its just getting more and more comfortable every day

19
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 7: in the building around the people and getting to know

20
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 7: the coaches.

21
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 4: So it's been really good.

22
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 3: Well, we won't blame you if you don't remember our names.

23
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 6: And like a couple of days because I figured you

24
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 6: have to introduce yourself out here.

25
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, but really, because like, what is this process like

26
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 3: for you?

27
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 6: You too, not only move across the country, but to

28
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 6: get scouting staff together, learn them, learn what kind of

29
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 6: how they evaluate, and marry that with what you want

30
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 6: to implement here at the Jet.

31
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, it has been to start a lot of names

32
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 7: and faces. I'm still learning every day, but it's been exciting.

33
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 7: I mean, it's what I love to do. It's my passion.

34
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 7: So when I get to jump into the football stuff

35
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 7: with the staff and the scouting, I kind of get

36
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 7: lost in it and I just I forget that I'm

37
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 7: in Jersey, I forget that I'm away from the family,

38
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 7: and I'm just in the work with the with the

39
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 7: staff and getting to know them and just kind of

40
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 7: buried in the football.

41
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 4: It's what I love. So it's been awesome.

42
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: One thing that has become clear to me over the

43
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: last few weeks is that you and Aaron Glenn are

44
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: together in lockstuff. Can you talk about your relationship and

45
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: why you guys have hit it off so well and

46
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: why you're.

47
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: So excited about the future.

48
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's been really natural.

49
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 7: I think I touched on it in the opening press

50
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 7: so I got a chance to meet Aaron years ago

51
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 7: in that interview process where we actually interview for the

52
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 7: potential head coaching job in Denver, and I knew right

53
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 7: then just his passion for the game, his authenticity, that

54
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 7: he was going to be someone that I'd always kind

55
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 7: of click with. And then going through the interview process

56
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 7: with the Jets and getting to talk to him again,

57
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 7: it's been seamless, and it's been really natural. He and

58
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 7: I obviously have a lot of dialogue every day throughout

59
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 7: the day. Our staffs have worked very closely collaborative in

60
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 7: this short time already and look forward to that continuing

61
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 7: as we go through these processes free agency and the

62
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 7: draft process.

63
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 6: So obviously without giving away state secrets, like what are

64
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 6: the topics of the conversations that have taken place between

65
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 6: yourself and AG over the last month.

66
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 7: Roster building, what we're going to look for in certain

67
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 7: players at certain positions, but just high level it's guys

68
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 7: that love football, physical players, smart, tough, like just establishing

69
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 7: an identity for the Jets in our team.

70
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: How important have those meetings been with the coaching staff

71
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: you guys, most notably AG brings in Steve Wilkes, Tanner

72
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: Engstrand and then also Chris Banjo is going to be

73
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: heading up the special teams. But when you get the

74
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: scouting staff together with the coaches and they discuss characteristics

75
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: that they're looking for in a player, how important is that?

76
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 4: How valuable is that? It's very important.

77
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 7: It's important that the scouts have a clear vision of

78
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 7: what we're kind of looking or hunting for, right and

79
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 7: it's important that with every player we bring into the building,

80
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 7: there's a clear vision and understanding of what this player

81
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 7: is here to do, things that that player may need

82
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 7: to work on, and the type of person we're getting.

83
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 7: So it's a collaborative effort with the coaches and the scouts.

84
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 7: It started early. I just said it in the presser

85
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 7: at the podium. Once we had that staff in place,

86
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 7: one of the first things we did was we got

87
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 7: the coaches and the scouts together to talk about what

88
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 7: we're looking for in Jets players, the makeup, the specific position, characteristics,

89
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 7: and some schematic stuff.

90
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 4: So we're all on the same page.

91
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 7: When we get into this free agency the draft process

92
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 7: and we're talking players, there's that clear kind of picture

93
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 7: and expectation of what we're asking these guys to do.

94
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 6: How do you go about just like managing your day

95
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 6: on a day to day basis between meeting everybody free

96
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 6: agencies around the corner, even though this is a draft event,

97
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 6: and then in a couple months from now it is in.

98
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 3: Fact the draft.

99
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 6: So how do you try to carve out time for

100
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 6: the pro side and the draft side and also just

101
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 6: getting integrated.

102
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been a lot, but you just stay structured.

103
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 4: You know.

104
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,559
Speaker 7: I'm a very detailed, kind of organized type a person,

105
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 7: So I like the structure and when we have those

106
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 7: things in place, it allows me to kind of jump

107
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 7: back and forth with my different roles and responsibilities that

108
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 7: I'm kind of tackling right now. But we have a

109
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 7: detailed calendar with these specific times where we're jumping into

110
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 7: these evaluation processes.

111
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: What's your thoughts since we're hearing in Indanapolis, NFL combine,

112
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,119
Speaker 1: what's your thoughts in the positioning here early in the draft?

113
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: Number seven overall? And then you were just asked about it.

114
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: Would you be willing to move up or move back

115
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: IF's the right off for percentage?

116
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm excited about being at seven. There's a a

117
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 7: lot of good players in this draft. You never know

118
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 7: how it's going to fall, but definitely open where we

119
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 7: stand to day to potentially moving up, potentially moving back,

120
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 7: just depending on the type of player that's there and

121
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 7: where we're at.

122
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 6: And I know you're asked about this as well, but

123
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 6: what are your early impressions of the strengths of this

124
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 6: draft class in twenty twenty five.

125
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 7: I think it's a good draft class. I think in particular,

126
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 7: the d line is strong, stronger than years past. The

127
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 7: running back group is good, but there's good players at

128
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 7: every position kind of throughout the draft. From what I've

129
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 7: seen thus far.

130
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: You have more than well, it's close to thirty free

131
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: agents in all, if you include the unrestricted free agency

132
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: had RFAs exclusives. How do you go about that looking

133
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: internally what you guys have on the roster before you

134
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: start that negotiation negotiating window on March tenth and then

135
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: free agency starting on March twelve.

136
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 7: Absolutely, it's a process, and I'm excited about a lot

137
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 7: of the guys we have here on this Jets team

138
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 7: and the potential free agents. But you know, I just

139
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 7: said at the podium, part of that process was letting

140
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 7: the coaches evow the roster, the scouts diving into it

141
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 7: and then getting together collectively as a group, both the coaches,

142
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 7: the pro scouts, the analytics department, and talking about our roster,

143
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 7: our potential jets, free agents, the market, what that looks

144
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 7: like and how it'll piece together. And you have a

145
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 7: preliminary plan, but you know, we'll just see how the

146
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 7: market unfolds.

147
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 6: You know, since we are here in Indianapolis, what is

148
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 6: the most beneficial part of this week for you?

149
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: In your eyes?

150
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 7: I think it's a great opportunity to get around these

151
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 7: young players. Any touch point we get with these guys,

152
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 7: we should take advantage. And we're doing that with the

153
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 7: with the formal interviews that started last night and the informost.

154
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 7: Like I said, every chance we get around to get

155
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 7: around these young players and learn them as people and

156
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 7: kind of get into their mind and how they think

157
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 7: and their capacity with FBI is a great opportunity and

158
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 7: I'm glad we're here.

159
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: How would you describe the current landscape at the quarterback

160
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: position for this organization. You guys formally announced it very

161
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: recently your intention to move on from Aaron Rodgers.

162
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 7: You have Tyrod Teller on the roster as well as.

163
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: Jordan Travis and Adrian Martinez, but again free agency on

164
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: the horizon.

165
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 7: In the draft as well, Yeah, we'll explore all those options.

166
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 7: There's a lot of intriguing players in this draft, some

167
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 7: good talented players in the draft at quarterback as well,

168
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 7: and then in free agency. You said it will exhaust

169
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 7: all those options. But really excited of who we have

170
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 7: in the building right now, starting with Tyrod, a guy

171
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 7: that's been around the league, been in the league for

172
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 7: a long time, has a great reputation. I've got the

173
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 7: opportunity to talk to him a few times and it's

174
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 7: been great. So I'm glad we have Tyron in the building.

175
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 7: But we'll exhaust all options.

176
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:36,920

Speaker 3: You've been up to two podiums now since being hired.

Speaker 7: I'm like all in on the job. I spend almost

188

00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 7: with the family and doing whatever family stuff, hanging around

195
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:21,960

00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: I love that answer.

197
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: It's not a boring answer.

198
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 7: No, I just don't have the real hobbies or anything

199
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 7: fun to share.

200
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: It's let's go back to your college days in San

201
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: Diego State. What happened you go there at quarterback position?

202
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: I guess you were unseated by a guy by the

203
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: name of Kevin o'county, and then you finished.

204
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 4: Up as a receiver.

205
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 7: I did, yeah, So I got there as a quarterback,

206
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 7: competed with Kevin eventually when he won the job. I

207
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 7: want to get on the field, so whatever I could do.

208
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 7: You know, I actually still prepped in the quarterback room,

209
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 7: but was playing wide out on game days. So transition,

210
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 7: yeah to a wide receiver, but kind of still took

211
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 7: practice reps at quarterback and had that for a few

212
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 7: years and then got sam much between Kevin O'Connell and

213
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 7: Ryan Linley, so two pretty good ones.

214
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: Uh.

215
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 7: Fun fact also that I think some know Tanner Ingstrand

216
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 7: was actually in that room with it for a few

217
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 7: years at Santue State. So it was a good room

218
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 7: with Kevin Tanner and myself Ryan Linley.

219
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 6: Is it weird for you now having one like at

220
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 6: that time you're now on the same team with the

221
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 6: new offensive coordinator. And also like, did you and Kevin

222
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 6: ever envision this for yourselves, like to go into the

223
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 6: coaching and the general managing side of things.

224
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 4: I don't know.

225
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 7: No, I don't know that we ever envisioned it or

226
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 7: really talked about it. But obviously we both had high

227
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 7: passion for the game, loved the game, kind of knew

228
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 7: we'd always be in it, and this is where our

229
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 7: pass took us.

230
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 4: So it's it's unique.

231
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: Well, we'll give us a scouting report and moved the

232
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: player coming out of receiver.

233
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 4: Not good enough.

234
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 7: Let's just say bones possession typical.

235
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 4: You can write the script right now.

236
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, what about the high school report though?

237
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 7: For the dual threat quarterback athlete.

238
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 3: You know, uh uh.

239
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: A formal interview is going to continue workouts later this week.

240
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: Don't give away state secrets here, but what do you.

241
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: Want to get out of a player when you do

242
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: have that limited exposure with them in the formal setting.

243
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, in the formal setting, we just really want to

244
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 7: get a good feel for the person the personality. Is

245
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 7: he going to be a fit for our building, for

246
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 7: our staff, for our current roster, is he going to

247
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 7: come in and fit the culture? And then also really

248
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 7: kind of diving into his FBI, you know, his mental capacity,

249
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 7: his knowledge of the game. It's hard to tell in

250
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 7: the short time, but you can get a good feel

251
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 7: for some of these young players in that setting. Like

252
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 7: I said, every touch point we get we're going to

253
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 7: take advantage of. So we just get a better feel

254
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 7: and exposure.

255
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,040

Speaker 1: Oh, I know who you're talking about. That's what that's

293
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: what you're gonna bring to the football field. So your

294
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: combine nineteen ninety four, that was at the old Hoosier

295
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: dumb Yep.

296
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are your memories come out?

297
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 8: And I remember just just answering a lot of questions

298
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 8: about who I was as a person, personality, demeanor, man,

299
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 8: the medical all right, and then the train station was

300
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 8: out of control back then.

301
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 2: But it was a good time. Man. I was grateful

302
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 2: to be in that situation. And I just remember Tony O. Langham.

303
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 8: He was a good friend of mine. He actually got

304
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 8: drafted before me, which still pisses me off.

305
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: But but man, it was it was an exciting time.

306
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 8: So, man, as I have a lot of respect for

307
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 8: these players at the combine, know exactly what they're going through.

308
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 8: And listen, you have to run every moment of it

309
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 8: because this is one time in your life do you

310
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 8: get a chance to experience this. So but man, I

311
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 8: always tell this guys to put your best foot forward,

312
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 8: all right, and any questions, I mean, don't hide anything

313
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 8: because we already know it anyway, all right, but don't

314
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 8: hide anything from any coach on the scouts, and just

315
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 8: and be ready to compete or anything.

316
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: Go out there and compete.

317
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: We got a lot of questions about the current roster.

318
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: But Randy Lang, who you know well.

319
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 4: Sent me this today. He said that you.

320
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: Were reported being clocked at four point two seconds at

321
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: a private private workout before the draft, with four to

322
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: three and four to three nine other non combine times.

323
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: But but also did you take part in the bench

324
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: press two twenty five nine times?

325
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 4: Is that right?

326
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 2: What I thought I did twelve times? Okay, we're gonna

327
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 2: tell you that.

328
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 3: But you ran into four too.

329
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 8: I ran a four I think it was a four

330
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 8: to two seven, and I think my mother was a

331
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 8: four to three to two. And that's how I knew

332
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 8: I could do.

333
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 2: I can run, right, I can run.

334
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 8: I can cover receivers, all right, and listen, I want

335
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 8: this show that I can do that. And to me,

336
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 8: if you're fast, you're fast to go run, all right.

337
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 8: So that's why when a lot of guys that don't

338
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 8: run at the combine, I'm like, wow, you're fast already,

339
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 8: So just show them that you could do it. Yeah,

340
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 8: all right, so and I want you everybody. I can

341
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 8: do that, and I want you everybody. I can cover

342
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 8: receivers just by my tape, all so, and I can

343
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 8: catch the ball.

344
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 6: What do you try to figure out about these college

345
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 6: prospects while you're here?

346
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 3: Obviously, like you said, the forty speaks for itself. But

347
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 3: when you get these are you the type of person.

348
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 6: That leans more to the tape or are you trying

349
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 6: to get to know them as a person.

350
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 8: Well, I think that's important to lean to the tape,

351
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 8: but it's also important to get a chance to know

352
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 8: the themean of the player, right, his personality. I mean,

353
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 8: how they go about seeing football, How smart are it?

354
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 8: How can they connect just the things that's on tape

355
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 8: that when we show them, and even if it's things

356
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 8: that they really don't know, I mean, do they just

357
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 8: understan football?

358
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: Right?

359
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 8: And I think that's been the most important part for

360
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 8: us as a staff to try to figure those things out.

361
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 8: But the meaning of the player is really really important

362
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 8: to me because there's just something about the mentality, especially

363
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 8: at certain positions.

364
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: All right, that you want to see.

365
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 8: So I try to figure out as much as I

366
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 8: came by just sitting back and just.

367
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: Watching the player and how they operate. And I like

368
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 2: to poke and product the player a little bit too.

369
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: To How excited are you about this coaching staff that

370
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: you've ensembled?

371
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: Very excited.

372
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 8: I said this statement before, is compatibility is sometimes it's

373
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 8: important as coach ability. And that's the one thing that

374
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 8: I tried to do right when I was trying to

375
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 8: assemble this staff, and I want to make sure I

376
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 8: took my time in doing that because I want to

377
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 8: make sure that every coach on this staff is going

378
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 8: to give us the best chance to win and be

379
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 8: able to coach the player, right. That's what's important to me. Man,

380
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 8: How are the players going to relate right to all

381
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 8: these coaches? And listen, every coach I have is not

382
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 8: the biggest name coach, all right, And that's uh, And

383
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 8: I actually like that. I think a lot of times

384
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 8: in this arena we just go get named coaches, right,

385
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 8: But there's a lot of good coaches in this league,

386
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 8: from high school to Division two to the big colleges.

387
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 8: Even some of the assistems on other teams and I

388
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 8: try to make sure I vet that out as much

389
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 8: as I could.

390
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: You said you have a lot of similarity with Steve Wilks. Yeah,

391
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: can you talk about those similarities and why is he

392
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: going to be such a valuable commodity for you.

393
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: Steve Wilks is a straight shooter.

394
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 8: He doesn't pull any punches with anybody, and it is

395
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 8: what it is, and I think that's what players relate

396
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 8: to more than anything.

397
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: Players don't like to be lied to.

398
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 8: Players want to know the truth, even though the truth

399
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 8: sometimes could be hurtful, all right, but the thing is

400
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 8: at least they know exactly what they got to change.

401
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: But I will say this, it's not just.

402
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 8: Giving players the truth, but it's also giving them a

403
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 8: solution on how we're going to fix it. He does

404
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 8: a really good job of that. And those are some

405
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 8: of the things that we have in line right when

406
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 8: talking to players. He's been there a while, he's been

407
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 8: a head coach, which is important for me when I

408
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 8: need questions, when I have questions right for what he's

409
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 8: been through.

410
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to those questions to him.

411
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 3: I want to ask you about Chris Banjo.

412
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's so young, and this is a guy that

413
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 6: you coached in New Orleans, Like, when was there any

414
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 6: moment for you when you were a coach in New

415
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 6: Orleans that you thought maybe he would go down this

416
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 6: path and eventually become a coordinator on specials.

417
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 8: Listen, there was no doubt in my mind that Banjo

418
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,959
Speaker 8: was going to be a coach just sitting in defensive meetings.

419
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 8: He was the guy that was sitting in front of

420
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 8: the room. He was the guy that would ask all

421
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 8: the questions. I was as you know that there's questions

422
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 8: that players want to ask, but they don't they don't

423
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 8: want look bad in front of everybody else. But Banjo

424
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 8: would be the one to ask those questions to make

425
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 8: sure everyone knew exactly what we were doing. So there

426
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 8: was no doubt in my mind that he'll be a coach.

427
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 8: But also he was a pro bo special teamer right

428
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 8: for New Orleans. So listen, he understands, he understood what

429
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 8: his role was, and listen, he didn't take that lightly.

430
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 8: And I'm huge when it comes to special teams because

431
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 8: it could really change the nature of a game, right

432
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 8: when you have one to have a big town special team,

433
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 8: and he's gonna give that to us.

434
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 2: So there's no better person for that job in Chris Benjo.

435
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 2: What about Tanner?

436
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: And he was just part of that flip with you

437
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: in Detroit, no doubt. And can you also speak to

438
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: a right hand man that he has much like you

439
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: do on the defense Society, maybe with Wilkes you bring

440
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: in Scott Turner.

441
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, listen.

442
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 8: All office in Detroit was something special. Watch and there

443
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 8: were a lot of hands that was in that to

444
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 8: make it that way.

445
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 2: And Ben would tell you that too.

446
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 8: As the offensive coordinator Detroit, he would tell you we

447
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 8: had Steve Hyden, who's actually my old line coach, and

448
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 8: that he is a old line coach by nature, and

449
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 8: he coached a tight ends for us then, but when

450
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 8: you watch us practice, most of the tackles actually went

451
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 8: to him to practice, all right, So he knows old

452
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 8: line played like the back of his hand, and that's

453
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 8: who he is by nature.

454
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 2: Again.

455
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 8: And then Tanner did a lot when it comes to

456
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,719
Speaker 8: putting everything together, to getting all these different guys on

457
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 8: the team the ball, all right, Listen.

458
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 2: There are a.

459
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 8: Number of good players offensive players on Detroit staff, from

460
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 8: the running backs to the receivers to the tight ends,

461
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 8: and it was his job to make sure how do

462
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 8: I feed all these guys, and he give that information

463
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 8: to Ben and then Ben put together as far as

464
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 8: calling it.

465
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 2: So Town had a huge hand on how we operate.

466
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 8: Detroit man, and he doesn't get a lot of respect

467
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 8: for that, but you will see that come to this team.

468
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: Can can you speak about the importance of speed, the

469
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: speed that you brought to the game yourself, and also

470
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: the speed that you guys were killing people with in Detroit.

471
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, listen.

472
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 8: And there are a number of guys that we actually

473
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 8: scouted to play certain roles when it comes to that.

474
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 8: Obviously jamo Or as the receiver position because he was

475
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 8: able to clear everything out.

476
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: And then we had one of.

477
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 8: The best slop receivers in Amaran Saint Brown right to

478
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 8: be able to work the underneath, so that was a

479
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 8: huge help. And then the one two punch with the

480
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 8: running backs that we had man we have to hammer right.

481
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 8: And then we had the guy that could just take

482
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 8: it to the house any time he gets the ball.

483
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 8: So I think speed puts fear in the defense, especially

484
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 8: at to certain positions, but allows everybody else underneath to

485
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 8: be the work and be to make plays.

486
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 6: Look, we could talk to you for hours about a

487
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 6: number of different things. But I'm curious from your perspective,

488
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 6: you get named head coach of the Jets, YEP to

489
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,959
Speaker 6: develop relationships with players, are you trying to text as

490
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 6: many people as possible and hear from players? Like, what's

491
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 6: your process like at this time of the year where

492
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 6: you're January and February to start to get to know

493
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 6: your guys?

494
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 8: We listen, Just to call each one of those guys

495
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 8: and just introduce myself and more than anything, man, just

496
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 8: be authentic. Just be myself. I think that's the one

497
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 8: thing that players figure out really quick if you're a

498
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 8: fake or not. And that's something that they don't have

499
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 8: to worry about with me because I'm always going to

500
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 8: be myself and listen. I'm the very demanding coach, but

501
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 8: I'm not demeaning, and I say that to every player.

502
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 8: I will never disrespect them, but I'll let them know

503
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 8: exactly where I stand, and I want to know where

504
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 8: they stand too, you know. So the communication between men

505
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 8: and the players have been really, really good and they

506
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 8: appreciate that. You know, I'm not going to pull any

507
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 8: punches with them and let them know exactly how I feel.

508
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 8: Exactly how I want to run things, and then we

509
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 8: just go from there. It's a ways of way.

510
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,959
Speaker 1: But have you envisioned in your mind what it's going

511
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: to be like leading this team out at Metlafe Stadium

512
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: in front of these fans.

513
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 9: This is where you started your career and you were

514
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 9: raised in Texas, but you do have a New York

515
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 9: mentality in terms of putting a hard hat on, no doubt,

516
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 9: getting to work, getting after it, and you should expect

517
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 9: a certain amount, a certain standard from us.

518
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 8: Listen, Nigga's I'll be honest with you, and I had

519
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 8: this conversation with my wife maybe a week ago, and

520
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 8: it gets pretty emotional right when I think about it,

521
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 8: think about this first game of really actually coming out

522
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 8: and in front of this team, knowing I'm the head

523
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 8: coach of this team. I don't know what my reactions

524
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 8: would be. I'm actually looking forward to it. But you're right, man,

525
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 8: we're gonna put all hard hand on. That's one thing

526
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 8: about a New York Jet. We already blue collar operation.

527
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 8: And listen, we only thing we know is how to

528
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 8: go to work, and that's all we're gonna do from

529
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 8: the time they come back. You know, when we or

530
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 8: our off season program, uh, to the time we get

531
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 8: on the field for OTAs to the time we come

532
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 8: back for training camp, and to the time we play

533
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 8: that first game.

534
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 2: We're gonna be a blue collar mentalent.

535
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 8: And one thing that we're gonna do, we're gonna outwork people,

536
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 8: all right, because that's all we're gonna know, Right, I'm

558
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,960

559
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 2: It is.

560
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 8: There's a lot of work to be done, and Man Moves,

561
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 8: you're gonna put our best foot forward to make sure

562
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 8: we build this team the right way and each step.

563
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 8: All right, we have a plan and there's a process

564
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 8: on how we want to make sure we get things done.

565
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 8: And listen, the greatest thing about what's been happening also,

566
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 8: and I didn't even mention this is just the communication

567
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 8: that Man Moods has been having throughout this process been outstanding.

568
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 2: He's a very bright man.

569
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 8: We see things exactly alike, right, even though that sometimes

570
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 8: we may different on opinions when it comes to a player,

571
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 8: which is a good thing because no one wants groupthink.

572
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 8: All right, I think that's how you get the players

573
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 8: right when you do have difference of opinions. But the

574
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 8: thing is, Man, we're going to go in the room.

575
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 8: We're gonna make sure we get the player the right

576
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 8: get the player right, make sure we get the best

577
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 8: player that's gonna fit this team.

578
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 2: That's what it's all about, right.

579
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 8: No matter what when it comes to coaches, when it

580
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 8: comes to hiring scout, just anybody within this organization.

581
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,240
