But there are a lot 28 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: of Penn State representatives. I've been working with the Jetsons 29 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: two thousand and sixteen and it feels like Penn State 30 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: has the most along within our department in that span. Historically, 31 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: it's not even close. You want the Syracuse that's one 32 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: of the best communications schools in the country, and we've 33 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: had a couple of people from Syria accusedon New House School. 34 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: Uh myself, I'm a proud of along of the University Florida. 35 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: Everybody knows that, but I'm not the sole representative there 36 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: but Penn State. Yeah. Paul puzz Lesnie, one of the 37 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: top linebackers in the history of that school, started his 38 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: career inside the a f C East with the Buffalo Bills. 39 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: Then late in his career, obviously playing with the Jacksonville Jaguars, 40 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: his linebackers coach was Robert Sala, and they came up 41 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: with that mantra and they, pauz Lesni told me that's 42 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: something that they wanted to develop, was a mantra, and 43 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: they came up with all gas, no break, and it 44 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: was a mentality not just play fast, but also think fast. 45 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: And that's what we've heard throughout this process in terms 46 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: of the Jets finding their head coach and now us 47 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: doing a lot of research on Sala. He wants guys 48 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: to go out there on Sunday and have it simple 49 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: for them and they just can go. And also, uh, 50 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: you know, he was able to connect with not only 51 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars linebackers, but of course the San Francisco 52 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: forty Niners, defunders and everybody inside the respect of buildings 53 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 1: he's been, he's been at. Pauzz Lesnie was able to 54 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: articulate that in our visit and with Pause Luzni, there 55 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: were rumors floating out there that maybe Solid would want 56 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: to bring on pause Lusni as a part of the 57 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: coaching staff. That did not happen, as we're recording this 58 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: Tuesday morning. The Jets have filled out a chunk of 59 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: the staff. We know the coordinators on offense and defense 60 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: and Mike la Floor and Jeff all Brick, and they're 61 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: still filling out the remainder of the staff. Yeah, and 62 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: that's gonna be announced. You would anticipate sometime earlier this week. 63 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: It's Tuesday, while we're taping right now, or about eleven am. Shoot, 64 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: you might hear some more names go out there here 65 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: later this week. But you're right, those key positions offensive coordinator, 66 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: we know MICHAELA. Fleur's heading up the offense and Jeff 67 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: all Brick heading up the defense. Puzzle, Lesney, what is 68 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: he doing right now? Uh, he's getting his MBA at 69 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: Carnegie Melanis. So that's a sharp dude who went to 70 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: Penn State. I think that's very true. And obviously e 71 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: A and I know the Super Bowl happened. We're gonna 72 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: talk about it after we hear from Gus Bradley and 73 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: Paul pazz Lovesni. Actually, we're gonna talk about what we 74 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: can learn or what people across the league can learn 75 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: in terms of evaluating the talent on both the Bucks 76 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: and the chiefs and how they can implement that and 77 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: what kind of system fits the Jets might be looking 78 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: for in free agency and the draft. Gus, thanks so 79 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: much for joining us. And you've known Robert a long 80 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: time coach Salo, so can you kind of take us 81 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 1: back to where you first met him and what was 82 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: your initial impression of coach Sala? You know, you know what, 83 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: it was a while ago now, I think it was 84 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: back in two thousand and eleven. But the Seattle Seahawks 85 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: we're looking for a quality control coach, and uh, he 86 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: came up and interviewed for it, and uh he did 87 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: a great job in the interview, and he made me 88 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: almost feel like I was a fool if I didn't 89 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: hire him. You know, here we have this guy in 90 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: the ability for this long and you're kind of looking 91 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,559 Speaker 1: for all, right, where's his weaknesses? You know, why isn't 92 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: he qualified for the job? But after visiting with him, 93 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: it was a no brainer. He met with Pete Carroll 94 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: and I think he was signed, sealed, and delivered, as 95 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: they say, in no time. So, you know, I've read 96 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: a couple of articles that said that he attacked that 97 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: job and what he does and just described with like 98 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: some kind of essentially like a maniac attitude where he 99 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: really dove into it. Can you kind of talk about 100 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: what work entails as a quality control coach and he 101 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: approached that he brought well, it's just like everything you 102 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: know up in Seattle when we were there. Coach Carroll's 103 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: philosophy was always do things better than they've ever been 104 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: done before. So he came into that mentality and that 105 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: was his job as a quality control coach. Take what 106 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: we've done in the past, take it to another level, 107 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: try to be more efficient in it. And he did 108 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: the work of many now and he really took that 109 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: to heart. And I saw him compete and trying to 110 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: make that quality control position something that you know has 111 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: never been seen before, you know, in that building. And 112 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: he did just a fabulous job and entails breaking down film, 113 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: you know, different things that we asked him to do 114 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: as far as getting players the different formations and the 115 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: notes that under each formation, and it requires a lot 116 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: of organization, a lot of detail, and just being really 117 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: efficient with your time. And um, I can say at 118 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: the end of that period that won me over enough 119 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: that when I got the head job in Jacksonville to 120 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: get him down there as a linebacker coach. So just 121 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: going off of that, what quality does coach solid bring 122 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: that made you at that time I want to bring 123 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: him with you to Jacksonville. Well, he's a student of 124 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: the game and he always wanted somebody that's got a 125 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: little bit different personality than what you do. I think 126 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: it's very important to have the mixture of personalities, and 127 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,799 Speaker 1: they had that. He had a unique way of really 128 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: getting the information to the players, something that may at 129 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: tea time seemed complicated. He had the ability to make 130 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: it simple and really share only the information needed for 131 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: the players to be success usful. Sometimes as coaches we 132 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: give you all the information and it can slow him down. 133 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: It was just natural for him to do that and really, 134 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: you know, get them the information needed. I thought he 135 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: did an outstanding job at that And then he was 136 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: an idea guy. I think he always retired to take 137 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: the system and tweak it just enough to try to 138 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: stay ahead of the game. And um, you know, I 139 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: thought that's important as well as on the defensive staff. 140 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: How did you see him grow from Seattle to Jacksonville 141 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: and then from Jacksonville to where he has now as 142 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: a coach. Well, I think when you have your own room, 143 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: you realize you know, relationships were always important to Robert, 144 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: but I think the relationships with the players to build 145 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: that trust and really, you know, our job is to 146 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: serve the players and to impact them, you know, impact 147 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: their future, impact the organization as well. And I think, 148 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: you know, when he had his own room, he realized 149 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: just how important that building that relationships and trust. He 150 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: an assistant coach that worked with him, and uh, you know, 151 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: so it wasn't just him, you know, he had another 152 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: coach that he had to train underneath them and I 153 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: thought he did a good job mentoring him as well. 154 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: So it really prepared him for his next step as 155 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: a coordinator. Going back to Seattle for a minute, you 156 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: worked under Pete Carroll, so did coach Sala. You know, 157 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: he said that coach Carroll was that was the first 158 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: place where he really started to learn. And I think 159 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: the anecdote he used was there's two types of way 160 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: that you can be treated. You can either be the 161 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: coffee guy or you can be like a plant and 162 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: be watered and see growth. So what kind of influence, 163 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: you know, whether personal or you know, just experience wise, 164 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: do you think coach Carroll had on Coach Sala Well, 165 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: I think you know, what you see is what you 166 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: get with Coach Carroll. You know, every day at the 167 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: consistency of what he brought into that building. Robert saw 168 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: that firsthand. Hey, it was a tough weight. You knew 169 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 1: how Coach Carroll was gonna come in. He was gonna 170 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: be manning. There was a standard. But as as personality 171 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: and his infectious personality stay consistent, and I think Robert 172 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: saw that that that was so important for the players, 173 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: not at the point where don't get confused with positively 174 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: with uh holding players accountable though he's the guy that 175 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: really holds the players accountable. There's a standard that's you know, 176 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: it's non negotiable and UH. But with that, he's not 177 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: a demeaning type coach. He's more of a you know, 178 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: he gets excited now when players do the right things 179 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: and and they execute things in the way that it 180 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: should look. And I think a lot of that was 181 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: carry over from Pete Carroll. You know, you kept bringing 182 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: up the words standard and meeting the standard. Well. General 183 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: manager Joe Douglas, before looking for the twentie head coach 184 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: for the Jets, said one of the things that he 185 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: wants to look for in a head coach is someone 186 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: that has a clear vision and an identity for the 187 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: team and sets a standard that says, when you meet it, 188 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: this is what happens, and this is what happens when 189 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: you do not. Obviously coach Sala hasn't been the head 190 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: coach of an NFL team before, But what gives you 191 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: the belief that he can be a successful one? It's 192 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: a great question now, but you're right, there is a standard, 193 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: and that's so much nowadays. Is not telling people what 194 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: the standard looks like. It's showing him what it looks like. 195 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: This is what the standard looks like. This is not 196 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: what the standard look it's like. And I think nowadays 197 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: that's what the players are looking for. So Robert does 198 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: a great job in that. But I think really where 199 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: his biggest growth came as obviously, you know, we had 200 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: a great situation in Seattle and Jackson a great experiences there, 201 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: but I think the biggest growth that took place for 202 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: him was with Kyle and uh John Lynch at San Francisco. 203 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: I thought they did an outstanding job involving their coaches, 204 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: especially Robert, and understanding the cap, understanding offense, understanding the 205 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: game of football as far as how it works, game 206 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: management wise, understanding the cap, and bringing players in act 207 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: player acquisition. And I've seen him to where now he 208 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: has a very very clear vision of what that looks like. 209 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: And uh, I think that experience he had in San 210 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: Francisco really just in in my time knowing Robert and 211 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: visiting with him, I could see tremendous growth in that. 212 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,599 Speaker 1: That gives me the confidence because he transferred it and 213 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: really now he did on the defensive side, very involved 214 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: with player acquisition. Now it's just another you know, twenty 215 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: more guys that he has to do it with and 216 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: lead the staff. Recording to fall, What was your reaction 217 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: when you heard the Jets had hired Robert Salo? Just 218 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: more than anything, just super excited for coach Solo because 219 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 1: you know, after playing for him um and understanding that 220 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: what a great man and great person that he was, 221 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: that he's going to do an unbelievable job leading an 222 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: entire organization. So super excited for him and his family. 223 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: You said, when you were a linebacker with the Jacksonville Jaguars, 224 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: you knew that he was not going to be here 225 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: for long. Why you just when you looked at him 226 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: as so he he was our linebacker coach at the time, 227 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: and you looked at him in his command presence, the 228 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: understanding that he had for not only what the linebackers 229 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: need to do on the field, but the entire defense, 230 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: The way he was able to communicate things in a 231 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: crystal clear manner. He said, Okay, he's he's at some 232 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: point he's obviously going to be a coordinator and go 233 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: beyond that to be a headman. He just he had 234 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: that type of presence and and that type of influence 235 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: over his players. All right, what about Salis Mantra All 236 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 1: Gas No Break? He talked about you, uh, as far 237 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: as where that actually originated. What what is the story 238 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: behind all Gas No Break? I mean, I have to 239 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: credit him definitely with the saying. But when when he 240 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: was coaching our linebacker group in Jacksonville, we just we 241 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: we wanted to come up with almost a philosophy of 242 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: of how we wanted to play, and that was you know, 243 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: we always talked about playing fast, you know, not not 244 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: only physically, but but mentally. That that's even more important 245 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: just being having having a crystal clear mindset and knowing 246 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: that regardless of what happens on the field, you are 247 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: going full speed, all out all the time, and if 248 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: you make mistakes, you make mistakes, but just make them 249 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: extremely fast and play as fast and as physical as 250 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: you can. And that kind of developed into the all gas, 251 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: no no break mantra. What was Robert sala like on 252 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: game days? I mean, it depends on what point in 253 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: the day. You know, obviously we all see him, you know, 254 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: on TV as this extremely passionate and devoted coach, and 255 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: and that's absolutely absolutely how he was. He has He 256 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: has a great ability to switch between you know what 257 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: we see on the clips of him on ESPN versus 258 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: now when we're on the sideline and we need to 259 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: go over a particular play and learn what happened and 260 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: how to adjust, he can communicate in a calm and 261 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: clear manner so that his players know exactly what to do. 262 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 1: And then when we get back out on the field 263 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: and something big happens, you see that explosion, you know 264 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: of emotion and happiness that he has for us. What 265 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 1: was his presence in his command You saw him inside 266 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: a classroom. Now he'll be speaking to the entire Jets 267 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: organization at one Jets Drive. I mean he he's he's 268 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: made for that type of position, you know, in in 269 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: a leadership position where he can influence an entire organization, 270 00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: because um, I mean he's trustworthy, he's determined, his guys 271 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: are devoted to him, and he wants what's best for 272 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: his players in the organization. So when you put all 273 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: those together, and with his ability to to communicate clearly 274 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: and lead, I think he's he's in a perfect role. Paul, 275 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: how would you describe as a coaching philosophy because I 276 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: know a lot of people have looked of late. Of 277 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: course it is a tend coaching points, But how would 278 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: you describe that philosophy in a nutshell? I mean, I think, 279 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: you know, breaking it all the way down to a 280 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: to a player perspective. I know that he always the 281 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: main emphasis was he wanted to create things and teach 282 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: in a way that made things very clear and simple 283 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: for his players so that they could perform at their 284 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: highest level on Sunday. He was he was all about 285 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: helping players develop, learn and creating the type of environment 286 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: where they could just strictly focus on ball and play 287 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: fast on Sunday to do the best job that they could. 288 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: You just spoke about laying fast. How key was that 289 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: for him in terms of his approach because he's talked 290 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: about making it simple for players and I'm just going 291 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: out and doing their jobs, not overcomplicating things that that's 292 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: enormous because from a player's perspective, when you are able 293 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: to step on the field and you have a crystal 294 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: clear mindset and you know exactly what to do and 295 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: how to do it, and there's no second guess thing 296 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: do I you know, what do I read and what 297 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: what changes are being made? When you can eliminate all that, 298 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: like coach Sala has been able to do and put 299 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: a crystal clear mindset in a player's mind, that's when 300 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: you go out and you see guys fly around because 301 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: there's nothing mentally holding them back. Can you speak to 302 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: his humility? You know there are a lot of egos 303 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: in the National Football League, but he comes across as 304 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: such a humble leader. And then I think we see 305 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: that too when his expertise is on the defensive side 306 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: of the ball. He just named Jeff Albrick defensive coordinator. 307 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: He said you're gonna call play. I mean that that 308 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: speaks volumes about him. And his personality, the way that 309 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: he was brought up. He just he he has a 310 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: he has a strong love and devotion for the people 311 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: around him. And I feel like, you know, we because 312 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: we both had children at the time, we would often 313 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: talk about our kids and he would he would talk 314 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: about how, you know, some of the most joyous moments 315 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: in his life is seeing his kids develop and learn 316 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: from him, and that's the most rewarding experience. Now you 317 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: apply that same concept to professional football. He's going to 318 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: have the opportunity to help all of his players grow, learn, 319 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: develop and get better and find the success that they 320 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: want on the field. And when you have someone dedicated 321 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: to that, dedicated to others instead of um, you know, 322 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: you know, the importance of himself that that's that's an 323 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: enormous advantage for the organization. I think that the people, 324 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: the fan base, the people, they're gonna love him because 325 00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: they'll love his approach. He's he's completely dedicated to his job, 326 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: in his family. He's gonna work extremely hard, and he's 327 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: completely honest. He's not going to to live, cheat or 328 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: deceive you you know, you know, in order to create 329 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: some some sight of some sort of false image he's 330 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 1: going to be completely dedicated to helping the New York 331 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: Jets win, do everything he can to do that and 332 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: do it in an honest and trustworthy way. Yeah, I 333 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: was shocked just the way the ball game went down. 334 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: I thought if Tampa one, it would be a fourth 335 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 1: quarter game. I thought what we were gonna see was 336 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: um Kansas City scored some points and Tampa try to 337 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: get there with rushing four and playing numbers in the 338 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: back end. And they ended up rushing four and playing 339 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: numbers in the back end, but they completely got after 340 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. There was that stat that Patrick Mahomes ran 341 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: for close to five hundred yards before he threw the 342 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: football on Sunday. That's ridiculous. I think. I think this 343 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: is the us in that we kind of alluded to before, 344 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: is that when Eric Fisher, the Chiefs left tackle, went out, 345 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: that Chief's old line had some reshuffling to do, and 346 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: that Buck's defensive line with Shaq Barrett, Jason Pierre, Paul Vida, Vella, 347 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: Steve McClendon included that that is a pantalizing front and 348 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: they really got after Patrick Mahomes. And there are when 349 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: you're looking at evaluations in terms of the draft, which 350 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: is coming up in a couple of months and free agency. 351 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: What you're looking for. There's some lessons to be had there, 352 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: and it all starts up front, which is what Joe 353 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: Douglas has been trying to stabilize here with the Jets 354 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: since he took the job. It's the outstanding point because 355 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 1: I'd ask you, if you have a draft tomorrow and 356 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: you could pick any player in the National Football who 357 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: are you going with. I'm still going with Patrick Mahomes. 358 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: There you go, You're still going with Patrick Mahomes. But 359 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: that's this just speaks to the team game the National 360 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: football is. You can't win with one player, even if 361 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: it's the most important position in the game, maybe the 362 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: most important position all professional sports. You have to win 363 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: up front, and Tampa repeatedly one up front, getting after Mahomes. 364 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: They basically dared the Chiefs to run, and I was 365 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: surprised that the Chiefs to encounter with more of a 366 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: running game themselves, and we oftentimes saw Mahomes running for 367 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: his life on the other side of the ball. Tampa's numbers, 368 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,239 Speaker 1: if you'll look at him, not staggering, but they had 369 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: a consistent run game and we thought going into this 370 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: ball game, the second matchup of the year between the 371 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: Buccaneers and the Chiefs, they were going to have to 372 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: stay out of third and long. And the Buccaneers didn't 373 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: convert a crazy percentage on third down, but they did 374 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: run the football. And how about Leonard four Nett, a 375 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: guy who kind of went under the radar during the 376 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: season and then he played really well in this title game. 377 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 1: And uh Tom Brady of fishing as ever? Who again 378 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: Brady two touchdown passes to Rob Gronkowski and then one 379 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: yeah and then one one to Antonio Brown. Those are 380 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 1: those are two guys who came to Tampa and they 381 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: followed Tom Brady there and then, like you mentioned, Leonard 382 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: four Nett was mid season or maybe it was just 383 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: before the season when the Jaguars wave released him and 384 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: he joins Tampa. Also, I was on a side note, 385 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy is on that team. He didn't take a 386 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: snap on offense, but on that team back to back 387 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: rings without taking a snap in the Super Bowl. So 388 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: he's collecting ring and it's good for him because he's 389 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: one of the one of the most electrifying players in 390 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: his prime. And you know, I think kind of what 391 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: we're talking about earlier, when you when you think of 392 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: the NFL and how it's a copycat league, and Daniel 393 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: Jeremiah tweeted about what a value eiders can learn from 394 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: this game, and obviously you think of the battle in 395 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: the trenches between the offensive and defensive line. But one 396 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: position that he mentioned was having a fast linebacker who 397 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: can cover. And I think that he was alluding to 398 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: the performance of Devin White, the second year player out 399 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: of l s U. Because Devin White was all over 400 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: the place. And then putting this into a Jets perspective, 401 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: the Jets now are going to have mostly a four 402 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: three front, so you would expect that they're gonna have 403 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: to add some speed to that room. Yeah, listen, there's 404 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: only so many Devin White's out there. Uh. He incredible player, 405 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: a young talent. He's only played in the NFL for 406 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: two years. Like you just mentioned, he's only gonna get better. 407 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: That's scary to think about it. And going back to 408 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, this was year one with Brady leading away. 409 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people thought that ultimately they 410 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,479 Speaker 1: would be better in their second year with Brady. So 411 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: that's kind of scary think about from an NFC perspective. 412 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, to your point about the Jets, you're running 413 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: at four three, you're gonna need speed to the linebacker position. 414 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: You know, we talked about the buzz LESNI interview. Um, 415 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: that's what Salo wants in a mindset, but also from 416 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 1: a physical skill set, I think the Jets are going 417 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 1: going to be looking to add more speed to that position. 418 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: You would anticipate if you just look at the way 419 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: the forty Niners have played defense over the years. You 420 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: go back to the Jaguars, and then you think about 421 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: Seattle and the way that defense was built. So you 422 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: all to ultimately think about speed on the inside and 423 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: then those longer physical corners on the outside. Um. But 424 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to see how these guys do 425 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: attack this offseason, the first Drew offseason together for Joe 426 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: Douglas and Robert sala And and Jeff all Brick and 427 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: Michael Fleur on the other side of the ball, it uh, yeah, 428 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: there's only so many Devin Whites. But it is the 429 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 1: speed game, especially if you're playing against somebody like the Chiefs, 430 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: who features perhaps the most dynamic weapon all football, and 431 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. Yeah, I think that the Jets are definitely 432 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: in the market for speed, whether that's free agency, trade draft. 433 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: You kind of got the sense listening to coach solid 434 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 1: speak and the way he was describing the La Flora 435 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: offense and what we know about the four three defense. 436 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: I think that the Jets are definitely in the market 437 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: for speed. And before we wrap up here on the 438 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: official Jets Pod powered by AWS, Obviously, the Super Bowl 439 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: kind of puts a cap on the season as the 440 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: off season looms. But I'm just curious, what was your spread, 441 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: like your COVID spread, because obviously, in typical world, you'd 442 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: like to have people over, you'd like to go to 443 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl party, have a giant spread, you know, 444 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: chips and dip and everything. But what was the Eric 445 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: Allen Super Bowl spread? And no part no parties here. 446 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: I just had the family here and had some chicken 447 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: wings from Wagman's. Wagn's is invaded New Jersey over the 448 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: last few years. It used to be like a Western 449 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 1: New York, Central New York thing, um so, so those 450 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: were tremendous. Also had a buffalo, uh chicken patty or 451 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: burger and and a couple of doll pops. That sounds 452 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: like a good spread. We had pigs in a blanket 453 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: homemade where you buy the crescent rolls and you cut 454 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: up the hot dogs, not the pre bought stuff. Then 455 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: we had to pivot because of some unforeseen weather or 456 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: the weather kind of limited us. So we went with 457 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: a Domino's pizza and I loved it. Domino's pizza, man, 458 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 1: I haven't had Domino's pizza in a long time. It 459 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: used to hit that up quite a bit during my 460 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: college run. In fact, I go back to my days 461 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: of Canisius College, my freshman year, way back when there 462 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: used to be a place called uh two for one. 463 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 1: You know, it literally is called two for one, so 464 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: you can get a couple of pizzas for nine or 465 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: ten bucks. I love that. Hey, and I will say Dominoes, 466 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: it's for me. It's think crust only, and that's the 467 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: good stuff. Think crust has to be. It's got to 468 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 1: be that way all the time. When I wat Chicago, 469 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: you try the deep dish, it's like having a plate 470 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 1: of Lusani or something. That's fine, but to me, that's 471 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: not pizza. Second that pizza. Yeah, the think crust and 472 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: if you're here locally in the Floria Park area. There 473 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: are a couple of very good establishments. Ye get the 474 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 1: Grandmas ply from specifically known as right but they have 475 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 1: their name on this podcast. I'm invited. I just invited 476 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 1: them to have their name on the podcast. Okay, yeah, yeah, 477 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,479 Speaker 1: if no one has comes on board, they can they 478 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 1: can sponsor here. But yeah, I'm a big believer in 479 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: their Graham Spy. That's better pizzas out there. You're in 480 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: New York. So if we're in New York in Manhattan, 481 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: give me top two, top three. Oh wow, Now now 482 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: we got some competition in terms of in terms of pizza. Um, 483 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: number one for me is Angelo's Pizzeria and fifties. It's 484 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: on fifty seven, I think between six and seven. That's 485 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: that's to me. The you can only get get it 486 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: by the pie. That to me is the establishment. The 487 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: square triangle, triangle slices, thick cut pepperoni, you know they 488 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: have so it has a little bit of heat to it. 489 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: And then if you want like a thicker piece. Out 490 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: in in Brooklyn is a place called Spimoni Gardens and 491 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 1: that is like it. I don't know if you'd like 492 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: it because it's um, it's thicker pieces and their pepperoni 493 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: is great. And Prince Street Pizza same similar, similar cut, 494 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: thick square slice, thick cut pepperoni awesome. All right, enough 495 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: about pizza's making me hungry. But bottom line here is, 496 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: though the NFL season officially over, Tampa Bay Buccaneers champions um, 497 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: the Jets a lot of work to do this offseason, 498 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: and we had some great content coming out of the 499 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl even though we weren't able to go there 500 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: this year.
