So for 232 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 3: us with the quarterbacks, that when they're right behind us, 233 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 3: you can hear all the calls. You can hear the 234 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 3: point that the center made, you can hear what I'm 235 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 3: talking about.

At ny Jets dot com slash season tickets. 434 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: Time for my extra point, the Jets are going to 435 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: flip the narrative next season Offensively. In twenty twenty four, 436 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: they finished thirty second in rush attempts in thirty first 437 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: and yards on the ground. It's feasible that they will 438 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: be top ten in both categories next season. The Jets 439 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: will continue to invest in the offensive line GM Darren 440 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 1: Mougi and head coach Aaron Glenn's first draft pick was 441 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: Arman Memble. The hope is the Jets will have bookend 442 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: tackles for the next five to ten years in Olu 443 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: Fashnu and Membo. The center position has graped up with 444 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: Joe Tipman and Josh Myers, and Avt and John Simpson 445 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: are a nice pairing at guard. And you can make 446 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: the argument that the talented trio at running back with 447 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: Breese Hall, Braylon Allen and Isaiah Davis is the team's 448 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: top position group overall. Add justin fields to the equation, 449 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: and the Jets are going to get after people on 450 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: the ground. Glenn wants a tough, physical and violent team, 451 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: and that will mean pounding the rock. Balance has returned 452 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: to one Jets Drive, See you next week.
