1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,640
Speaker 1: I want to keep good players. Bree'e being one of

2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: those guys, got a chance to know him throughout this year.

3
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: We've been working to try and get to a long

4
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: term deal keep him around. If we can't do so,

5
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: we'll exercise one of those options just to make sure

6
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: we keep him around and continue to work towards the deal.

7
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 2: So twenty twenty six NFL Combine is underway here in Indianapolis,

8
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 2: and coming up, you're gonna hear from Jets head coach

9
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn and GM Darren Mugie. AG is gonna tell

10
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 2: you why he has taken over defensive play calling duties.

11
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: GM Darren Mugie is also gonna talk about Breecee Hall

12
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 2: what his future is ahead with the Green and White.

13
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: Both men are also gonna comment on their thoughts on

14
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: the Jets' quarterback position here heading into a very important offseason,

15
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 2: we meet anybody in the world, and I think we're

16
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: gonna win.

17
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 3: Next Sunday's Wonders.

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: Dad Waite, Aaron, you're the ultimate competitor. Last year when

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: you left that field in Buffalo the season ninees, do

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 2: you use that as fuel to your fire or do

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: you bury you know what.

22
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 4: I would answer that two different ways. Number One, at

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 4: some point you have to bury it, but you also

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 4: never forget. And last year was a tough season, and

25
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 4: I know that coaching staff knows that players know that.

26
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 4: So it's our job to change that narrative. And the

27
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 4: only way you change the narrative is about winning. And

28
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 4: that's been a total focus of this new staff that

29
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 4: I've put together. Obviously the players that we have and

30
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 4: then the new players that we will bring in to

31
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 4: be a party's program, But it all starts with how

32
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 4: we operate as a coaching staff, because they look at

33
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 4: us and they get their answers from us, and then

34
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: once they get those answers, then they start to relate

35
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 4: exactly how they're going to operate in the locker room,

36
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 4: and that's when that culture starts to build. So, man,

37
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 4: we're looking forward to this off season. You know, we

38
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 4: really are, with the draft capital that we have, with

39
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 4: the freege, with the cap situation that.

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 3: We have, and this is gonna be fun and I'm

41
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: looking forward to it.

42
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 2: The first thing they had to do was get your

43
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: coaching staff in place. Speak about Brian Duker and the

44
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: familiarity with you that you have with him and also

45
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 2: the synergy that you guys have had over the years.

46
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I will let me go back and let

47
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 4: me say this first. The evaluation process took some time

48
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 4: and it was meant to be that way because I

49
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 4: want to make sure that I make the right decision

50
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 4: and I'm a guy that never makes rash decisions. And

51
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 4: going through this process allowed me to create the type

52
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 4: of vision that I wanted when it came to this

53
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 4: coaching staff. And the one thing that came out of

54
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 4: this vision was I was gonna have a huge part

55
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 4: of the defense and I was gonna call the defensive player.

56
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 3: That's what I'm gonna do this year.

57
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 4: And then when I started looking at the defensive staff,

58
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 4: I want to bring guys in that knew exactly what

59
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 4: I want to do. And being with Brian for three years,

60
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 4: man was outstanding because he was with me when like

61
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 4: we were in the mud in Detroit to where we

62
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 4: wasn't that good. It was a totally different, different defense structure,

63
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 4: and we built that defense all to be up to

64
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 4: be to be a top ten in a number of

65
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 4: categories in twenty twenty four. Obviously he wasn't there, but

66
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 4: he was a huge part of that for three years,

67
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 4: So he knows exactly what I want to do. He

68
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 4: knows exactly how I want to install. He knows every

69
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 4: part of the defense that we want to we want

70
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 4: to build and we're still building it because we have

71
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 4: new guys in who's gonna have a huge part of

72
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 4: the schematics. So he knows everything about me and I'm

73
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 4: happy that he's around me.

74
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 3: Again.

75
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: When you went through that interview process as far as

76
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: filling the defensive coordinator vacancy, did it become clear at

77
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: a certain point that, man, I really want to get

78
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: back into it. As far as calling the play face

79
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: you just mentioned it, Yeah, I feel like my super Bowl,

80
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: no doubt, no doubt.

81
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 3: And it really is.

82
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 4: And the reason I say that is I knew where

83
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: I started as a play caller and where I ended

84
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 4: up to really start to getting the groove of Okay,

85
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 4: this is how I'm playing against this coordinator from whoever

86
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 4: the other team is.

87
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 3: And man, and Ryan was a huge part of that,

88
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 3: you know, and and help me develop that. Man I do. Man,

89
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 3: I just I miss it. I really do.

90
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: And it's a competitive thing, it really is, to be

91
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 4: honest with you, But again, I do feel like it's

92
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 4: on my superpower.

93
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 3: So I think that's one mistake that I made last

94
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 3: year of not doing that.

95
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 4: And I said before that I'm not going to make

96
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 4: the same mistakes that I made in twenty five, you know.

97
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 4: So that's why I'm looking forward to twenty six. I

98
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 4: play on doing everything I need to do to put

99
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 4: this theme in a position to win games.

100
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: What do you envision this span schematically? I imagine you

101
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: want to be diverse in multiple With with that being said,

102
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: like you talked about your time in Detroit, Yeah, we

103
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: saw you attack it different, you know what.

104
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 4: The way that I want to answer that question is,

105
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 4: obviously there's there's gonna be some things that we did

106
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 4: in Detroit, But man, I have guys like Dundee Card Dunbar,

107
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 4: you know, that's been a part of a really good system.

108
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 4: I'm gonna listen to him. Ben Bowling, that's been a

109
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 4: part of a really good system in Houston. I'm gonna

110
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 4: listen to him. But ultimately, the crux of it is

111
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 4: going to be a lot of things that we did

112
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 4: in Detroit, because I think that allows us to be

113
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 4: really multiple when it comes to who we are. It's

114
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 4: four to three personnel. We can be three four principles.

115
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 4: We can be four to three if we want to.

116
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 4: And that's the good thing about it. And man, I

117
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 4: have a coaching staff on the defensive side that really

118
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 4: understands that.

119
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 3: And the synergy that we.

120
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 4: Have that we've been talking and trying to build this

121
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 4: thing has been outstanding and I'm looking forward to to

122
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 4: go forward.

123
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: What gravitated you towards Frank turn your search for a

124
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: new offensive coordinator former teammate of yours back.

125
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 3: With every coach and I will say that it is

126
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 3: the character man.

127
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: He is.

128
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 3: One of a kind. He is the soul of the earth.

129
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 4: And there are too many men that man that really

130
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 4: operate the way he does. And I was like, like,

131
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 4: Curtis Mordan is one of those guys. And to me,

132
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: he reminds me of Curtis so much just by his

133
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 4: faith and the way he goes about doing things. And

134
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 4: number one, he was a successful officer of the coordinator

135
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 4: that won a Super Bowl. He was a successful head

136
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 4: coach And for me to bring somebody on the staff

137
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 4: with that type of experience, it was a no brander

138
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 4: for me.

139
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: Do you guys have said that you'd exhaust all options

140
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: at the quarterback position. Do you like the way it's

141
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: set up from a coaching perspective, because not only did

142
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 2: it bring in Frank Ye, a guy who Bill Pollyon

143
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: referred to as perhaps the best backup quarterback in the

144
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: history of this league, and you just talked about his

145
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: coaching experience, So a lot of good things right here

146
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: with the Colts, no doubt as head coach, and he's

147
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: worked with a number of different quarterbacks, but you also

148
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: hired Bill Muskrat knows out quarterbacks coach.

149
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

150
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 4: Here's the thing is, we have so much time, you know,

151
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 4: between now and when OTAs are when Phase three starts

152
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 4: to have a guy there behind at the quarterback position

153
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 4: for us, uh that we're going to continue to exhaust

154
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 4: every option you know, to get the right person. And

155
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 4: we have guys on on on staff right now, you know,

156
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 4: within our program and also, man, there's a number of

157
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 4: different things outside of from trades to free agency to

158
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 4: the draft that we're going to continue to evaluate to

159
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 4: make sure we get the right guy. So between men moves, man,

160
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 4: we're going to exhaust every option to make sure we

161
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 4: do that, and more than anything, we're going to make

162
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 4: the right decision for this team, and that's what's most important.

163
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: Can you speak about that relationship, how it's been strengthened

164
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 2: over time you and working through last year and now

165
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: as you look.

166
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 3: Ahead, Man, it's been outstanding.

167
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 4: And to be able to have this marriage with a

168
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 4: GM like that is probably one of the best things

169
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 4: you could have as a head coach. We see it

170
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 4: exactly alike. We understand the fire that we go through

171
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 4: when it comes to criticism and things like that, and man,

172
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 4: we just put our heads down and we just keep

173
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 4: moving forward. And that's what I love about him.

174
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: You know.

175
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 4: He has that competitive fire just like I do, and

176
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 4: he wants to win just as bad as I do.

177
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 4: And he understands that it's going to take both of

178
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 4: us to try to get this together and we're gonna

179
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 4: do everything we can to make sure we get that done.

180
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: Then, lastly, let's get out of here with this one.

181
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: What can you say about where we are in the calendar?

182
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: You're here at the NFL Combine, Yeah, but then you

183
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 2: get back and you got a week the NFL league year,

184
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 2: the negotiation windows right around the corner of March ninth.

185
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 4: No doubt doubt, and we look forward to every part

186
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 4: of it. The only thing that I do know is this,

187
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 4: while we're doing all that, man, we're trying to schematically

188
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 4: make sure that we own points them. One of these

189
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 4: players command when we have a iron class scheme that

190
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 4: they're going to buy into and it's going to help

191
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 4: them be successful.

192
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 2: Appreciate your time as always, ag appreciate you, Darren. How

193
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 2: important are the next couple of weeks for this franchise?

194
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: Really important next few weeks? And I really enjoy this

195
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: part of the process. It's fun for me to get

196
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: to work with the scouts, work with the coaches as

197
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: we go through the freegency process, and then kind of

198
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: juggle both and transition to the draft studies and the

199
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: obviously the combine here this week and then the pro days.

200
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 1: I love it though, and it's a very important time.

201
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: Can you speak to that.

202
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: How do you juggle both of those things? Because there's

203
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 2: three hundred and nineteen prospects that we're invited here to

204
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: Indianapolis and you have a ton of staffers on the

205
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: ground here, but then you get back for Mindy and

206
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: you have a week before the NFL's negotiation period opens up.

207
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it is a lot to juggle, but I

208
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: feel really good about where we're at and how we

209
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: handle because of the people in the processes we have

210
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: in place. We've got a great in house group of

211
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: Scouts in house back in Jersey and then obviously on

212
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: the road. So our processes and the people we have

213
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: allows me to juggle it and feel really good about,

214
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: you know, heading into each each process and the decisions

215
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: will make.

216
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 2: I don't want to say it's easier now, but can

217
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 2: you take me like through the past year, maybe compared

218
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 2: to where you were at this point.

219
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but with boots on the ground. I wouldn't

220
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: say it's easier because it's still a lot of work

221
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: and a lot of big decisions to be made. But

222
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: you feel much more comfortable today than I would say

223
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 1: a year ago, just knowing the staff, knowing our processes,

224
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: knowing the people. Feel really good about where we're at

225
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: today and excited for the opportunity ahead.

226
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: AG was talking about your involvement in the coaching search.

227
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: Can you speak to the new staff. Maybe we start

228
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: with your thoughts on AG call and plays and defensive

229
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: side of the ball and saying that's his super power.

230
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Well a few things there. One let's just

231
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: start with the process. I thought it was a really

232
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 1: good process, and I think he mentioned Rick Spielman was

233
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: involved in that too, So I always enjoy that I

234
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: got to be a part of every interview with these

235
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: coordinators and a few of the position coaches as well.

236
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: Rick Spielman and I enjoyed that part of meeting these people,

237
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: meeting these coaches talking football, getting off the zoom or

238
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: getting done with the interview, and then sitting around AG

239
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: myself Rick AG, getting our perspective, our feedback, our opinions

240
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: on these guys, and feel really good about how the

241
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: staff came together. In regards to ag colin plays, I

242
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: can tell you I had a feeling we'd get to this.

243
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: He did, and it was at the end of the

244
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: year when we decided to move on from coach Wilkes,

245
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: and AG was getting more involved in the defense during

246
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: the week, and he was getting out of his old

247
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: play call sheets and we were having discussions about how

248
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: how he saw the game plan out. He would call

249
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: plays and his tip sheets for players, and he just

250
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: is kind of lit up like a new life. And

251
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: remember at the end of the first week as a man,

252
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: I love being in there with these guys and kind

253
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: of missed with Colin plays and that was just early, right,

254
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: and then we're going to go through this process. But

255
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: as we'd have the disc Ushans, you know, really felt

256
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: him leaning back and there like I just want to

257
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: call it.

258
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 3: I want to call it.

259
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: I'm excited about calling it.

260
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 3: I want to do it.

261
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: So I had a feeling, you know, at the end

262
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: of the year, and as we went through the process,

263
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: it became clear and I'm excited for him.

264
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 2: After you guys officially announced Brian Duker's defensive coordinator, we

265
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 2: actually did an internal study just looking across the league

266
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 2: to see how many head coaches do indeed call plays

267
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: on either side of the ball, and I think the

268
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: number we came up with was right around twenty five.

269
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: So this is not anomal You're seeing most head coaches

270
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: who either came from an offensive background or a defensive background,

271
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: and they're taking control.

272
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

273
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think, like I said, I just know

274
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: how excited Ag is about the opportunity and putting the

275
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: staff together.

276
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 3: I feel really good about it.

277
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,599
Speaker 2: And can you speak to talking with Frank over the

278
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: past couple of weeks, obviously he's got so much experience

279
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: not only as a player but as an offensive coordinator,

280
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: and I had coach as well, him taking the controls

281
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: there and you guys exchanging thoughts on maybe what you're

282
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: going to be schematically.

283
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, getting to know Frank these past few weeks and

284
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: still having dialogue.

285
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 3: Really almost daily.

286
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: You've talked to him this morning, and Billy Musgrave as well. Yeah,

287
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: you know, two experienced veteran coaches eyes around Billy in

288
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: Denver for a period, And I'm excited to go through

289
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: this quarterback process with those guys. And we've already had

290
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: a lot of good discussions. I look forward to more,

291
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: and even as we get through free agency and then

292
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,599
Speaker 1: into the draft process. You know, we're already scheduling some

293
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: workouts with some of these guys. So I'm excited about

294
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: It's been really good so far. I like hearing their

295
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: thinkings and how they view things.

296
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 3: So I'm excited.

297
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 2: How huge is that to have those guys not only right,

298
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 2: but like you mentioned Musgrave, no matter what direction you

299
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 2: guys ultimately end at as far as the quarterback position,

300
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 2: because he said you're going to exhaust all options that

301
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 2: can include free agency, might betrayed, might be draft, but

302
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: you have guys right now, I.

303
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 1: Have seen it all, yeah, exactly, and they've done it

304
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: in a bunch of different ways. But I do think

305
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: that that quarterback play caller relationship and kind of fit

306
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: is very important. So that's why I'm just trying to

307
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,599
Speaker 1: learn these guys as good as I can and have

308
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: as much dialogue as we can.

309
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 2: You have twenty four players I think of expiring contracts,

310
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: including bres Hall. Where does the stand with Breece right now?

311
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 2: From your mindset, We're in a good.

312
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: Place with Breee. Like I've said since I've got here,

313
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: I want to keep good players. Briece being one of

314
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: those guys, got a chance to know him throughout this year.

315
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: Obviously a really good player, good person. We've been working

316
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: to try and get to a long term deal keep

317
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: him around. If we can't do so, you know, by

318
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: that tag tag deadline next week, we'll exercise one of

319
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: those options just to make sure we keep him around

320
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: and continue to work towards the deal. So feel good

321
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: about where that's at. In terms of, you know, the

322
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: other twenty four players. We'll keep an eye and monitor

323
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: several of those guys. But I'm excited about the opportunity

324
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: to add some veteran players to this team. We've got

325
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: one of the younger rosters in the NFL right now,

326
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: so I think I really believe we're going to be

327
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: able to add some good veteran players in this free

328
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: agency class that can inject some veteran experience and leadership

329
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: onto this young team.

330
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: Can you give us some insight into how you actually

331
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 2: go out and build a free agency board prior to

332
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: getting into it.

333
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it.

334
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: Starts really the start of the season. I'll have some

335
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: of my scouts, some of our external, some are internal.

336
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: We're doing little early free agency studies throughout this season

337
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: where we're having Friday zooms and stacking these guys and

338
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: all the way, and then at the end of the

339
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: season we're flip flopping and by the end of it,

340
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: we're going to have eight or nine stacks and pods

341
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: from different scouts, independent studies, eliminating bias. Then we do

342
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: this background research on the back end and really just

343
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: making sure we have the stacks and the fits right.

344
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: And then there's the whole element when you get the

345
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: coaches and now we're talking more schematics and vision for

346
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: players and roles and maybe they have experience with a

347
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: certain players. So there's a lot of steps to it,

348
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: but it really starts week one of this past season.

349
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: What do you make of the financial flexibility that you've

350
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: talked about for a bit, and then also the draft

351
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 2: capital is not a hole when you look at the

352
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: offseason from the Jets perspective.

353
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: I'm excited about our opportunities ahead of us, you know,

354
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: And it does start with this free agency coming up

355
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: here soon, with the cap space we have, and like

356
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: I just mentioned, some of these more veteran players, experienced

357
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: players that are out there that may may be available

358
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: and fits for us. And then as after we get

359
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: through that transition to the draft, with four picks in

360
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: the first two rounds, two in the first, two in

361
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: the second, I'm just getting a chance to really meet

362
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: some of these these college prospects up in close personal

363
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: this week, seeing them eyeball. I'm getting a chance to

364
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: meet them, which which I love. I love this time

365
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: of year in process and I'm excited about it.

366
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 3: There.

367
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: Appreciate your time.

368
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 3: Thanks
