1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: The game is over, and then you're on the World captain.

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: You play to win the game. Case gotta that's a

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: Jet touchdown. Can't wait your Listen to the Official Jets podcast,

4
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: a Jets three sixty production. All Right, we're back in studio.

5
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: It's been a minute. Huh, it's been more than a

6
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: Minute's been a few weeks. Do you know that's a

7
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: it's a millennial saying it's been a minute. I mean

8
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: it's been a long time. So so that's the old

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: people saying it's been a few weeks. Yes, yep, that's fun.

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: It's been a little too long since E. A and I,

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: Eric Allen and Ethan Greenberg have been in studio. We

12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: won't be here. We won't be here for long because

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: this is a combined preview, and by the time most

14
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: people listening to this, we will be in America's heartland.

15
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: I am taking you to Indianapolis for your first scouting column.

16
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: I've never been to Indianapolis. I'm I'm excited. Well, that's

17
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: a great city. You probably won't be outdoors too much.

18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: The great thing about Indianapolis this is a convention destination city.

19
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: So if it is freezing, you can stay inside, walk

20
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: to Lucas Oil, stay underground the whole time, not stay

21
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: under ground, but stay indoors the whole time. And all

22
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: the hotels are connected, and even when you walk to

23
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: the restaurants, you don't have to go outside too much.

24
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: All right, e said it, But this is the combine preview.

25
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: Earlier this week and last week, Mel Kuiper of ESPN

26
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: and Mike Mayock both had their conference calls. We're gonna

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: touch on a couple of different topics of what they said.

28
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: We have a somewhat loaded show, and make sure to

29
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,279
Speaker 1: follow e A on Twitter at el and Jets and

30
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: me Ethan Greenberg got Ethan Breenberg. I had to put

31
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: the B because Ethan Greenberg was a little too generic,

32
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: so I had to separate. But nonetheless, all right, what

33
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: about Instagram? Man, you're talking about millennials, but we can't

34
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: mention Instagram. Yeah, follow e A on Instagram at ellen Jet.

35
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: That's an easy one. What about you are private? I

36
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: am private? I am? I am? I have my Instagram.

37
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: Is is separate from my Twitter. Twitter is Twitter's you know,

38
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: National fund and games. I don't put a lot of

39
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: information on on Instagram. It's more me and my friends.

40
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: There's nothing. There's nothing crazy. When you have a professional

41
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: Instagram in your future, potentially I'm I'm maybe I'll open

42
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: up my Instagram one days. Uh start a little apprehensive

43
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: about it when you're saying your Instagram is private, So

44
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: I'm wondering in the lock, I'll show you what's behind

45
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: the lock. It's not too exciting, but all right, I

46
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: tell you, Mark and the trading period begin. But this

47
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: week in Indianapolis will be talking about everything because the

48
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: draft is not too far away. And then free agency,

49
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: the Jets have a lot of money to spend, financial flexibility, Uh,

50
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: big names out there in free agency. And then Mike

51
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: mcagna has reiterated Greens that he wants to build this

52
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: thing through the draft and this is just a piece

53
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: of the process. I don't know at the end of

54
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: the day, and we're gonna talk to some of our

55
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: scouts about it during the week how much they actually

56
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: weigh the combine into the draft equation because it is

57
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: important because you're getting medicals, you're doing interviews, and then ultimately,

58
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: I think what you you're looking at from an on

59
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: the field perspective is just that what you see on

60
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: tape is confirmed, right. I think that what you said

61
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: is I think often overlooked in that the combine is

62
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: much more than just a series of drills. A lot

63
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: happens after they do the drills and off the field

64
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: that exclude the media, when that includes formal interviews a

65
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: lot of them, and the medicals, know, are very important

66
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: throughout the league in the eye of the scout and

67
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: the eye of general managers and the medical guys as well.

68
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: So there are a couple of guys of course every

69
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: year that the medicals are very important for. I mean

70
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: thinking about last year, and this is a guy that's

71
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: been in the news lately unfortunately for a pair of arrest,

72
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: but Ruben Foster, there was a lot of questions about

73
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: his shoulder and the medical there, which is eventually why

74
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people think that he ended up falling

75
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: all the way to the end of the first round.

76
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: But this is the situation for the Jets right now.

77
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: Is you touched on is that the Jets have a

78
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: lot of financial flexibility. March fourteenth is around the corner

79
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: the most camp room greens, not only for now two eighteen,

80
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: but in terms of two thousand nineteen as well. There

81
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: you go, I did not know that, but now and

82
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: then and then not only that, but the Jets have

83
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: the number six overall pick, and I know that all

84
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: eyes right now are on the draft because of the

85
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: combine coming up. But first things first is that free

86
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: agency is first up on the docket, and a lot

87
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: of what happens in free agency will determine what happens

88
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,559
Speaker 1: atop the draft, which will that in turn effects who's

89
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: on the board when the Jets are like that number six. Well, yeah,

90
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: you are writing about the mock drafts left and right

91
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: in Greenberg mock draft dot com. No, I'm just kidding,

92
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: But on New York Just dot com you're seeing a

93
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: lot of um, you're taking aggregates out there of what

94
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: people are projecting for the Jets at six. My thing is,

95
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: that's a tough job because the Jets landscape, what this

96
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: organization looks like, is probably gonna look at least a

97
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: little bit differently. It will look a little bit different,

98
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: It could look dramatically different once I think, uh, right now,

99
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: when you kind of look at the actor get of

100
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: mock drafts that have been coming out, there are a

101
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks, especially because that's not just for the Jets.

102
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: That's for the teams in front of them that are

103
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: also in the market or thought to be in the

104
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: market for a signal caller. Because of course, free agency

105
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: hasn't happened yet, so those guys can't predict what happens

106
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: on the market, but a lot of guys have. The

107
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: Jets taking some combination of Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen, and

108
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,119
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen. Sam Donald is the only one that really

109
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: hasn't fallen to six in the mock draft. But not

110
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: only that. If you go outside of quarterback, is how

111
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: about a guy like Quentin Nelson, And he is debatedly

112
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: the best prospect in this draft, the cleannest prospect, and

113
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: he is by far and away in the eye of

114
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: the draft pundits, and that includes Mel Kiper and Mike Mayock,

115
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah, Bucky Brooks, the list goes on and on.

116
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: He is by far and away the best aligneman in

117
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: this draft class and he's an interior alignment. But this

118
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: guy is an absolute freaky I mean, he's six five,

119
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: three thirty. He sheds people left and right, he throws

120
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: people down. And there's this one video that if you

121
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: have not seen it, you gotta go to Todd mcshay's

122
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: Twitter and he posted this cliff and he was breaking

123
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: down Twitter private. No, okay, I'll check it out. Yeah

124
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: all right, all right, yeah, be sure to do that

125
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: and moved and moved the sticks. That's Daniel Jeremiah, is it? Yeah?

126
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: When did you say McShay? What? Quentin Nelson is lining

127
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: up at left guard like he did all season, and

128
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: the ball gets snapped. He doesn't really see anyone coming

129
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: at him rushing him, so he looks around and sure

130
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: enough there's a Georgia bulldog coming free and he pummels him.

131
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: He's a tremendous player. Mike Mack actually was asked about

132
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: Quentin Nelson on the recent conference. Came weren't they They were?

133
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: I think it's uh. I think we should take a

134
00:07:53,280 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: listen right now. Our next question comes from Corneen Kane

135
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: with Chicago. Vin your line is now open, But Mike,

136
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: what's sever Quinn Nelson from the other offensive lineman in

137
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: this draft? Good question? Um. The first is DNA. You know,

138
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: he's two hundred three thirty pounds. He's got a nasty demeanor,

139
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: he finishes with an edge. He's probably the best run

140
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: blocking interior offensive lineman i've seen in years plus. In

141
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: today's NFL, you've got to protect your quarterback, and every

142
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: quarterback I've talked to in the NFL saying what bothers

143
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: from the most is immediate pressure up the middle. So

144
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: you've got a guy to can set a physical edge

145
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: in the middle of your line up front and allow

146
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: your quarterback to step up. That's a big deal. So

147
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: he's great in the run game. He's very good in

148
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: the past game. He was coached by Harry Eastands, who

149
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: I think one of the best offensive line coach because

150
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: I've ever been around, who's now with the Chicago Bears.

151
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: So he's got talent, he's got coaching, and at the

152
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: end of the day, he loves football. I know this kid.

153
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: He's got a passion for the game. He's got a

154
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: passion to be the best he can be. So when

155
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: you add all those things up, unless he's injured, unless

156
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: he gets a bad injury, I love the fact that

157
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: he can come in day one and be a high

158
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: level NFL player. Right. So, I know that Quintin Nelson

159
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: isn't necessarily the sexiest picked, but if you're a Jets

160
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: fan and you get a guy that a lot of

161
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: people project as a first or second year pro bowler

162
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: and All Pro and he's a part of your team

163
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: for the next decade or so. You've got to be

164
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: excited about that. And the last time correct me if

165
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: I'm wrong with the last time alignment went that high

166
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: for the Jets with what Nick Mangol back in the day, Well, yeah,

167
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: because they both were taking in the first round. So

168
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: that was the year where you got the brickshaw Ferguson

169
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: left tack Louder Virginia four. I think Mangold from Ohio

170
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: State twenty nine speaking Ohio State centers. Other guys gonna

171
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: get a lot of pub this week is Billy Price,

172
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: the highest rated center by uh most draft pundits out there.

173
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: So he could be a late first round or maybe

174
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: in the early second round, or that's what people are

175
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: saying right now. But you know, the thing that's fascinating

176
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: to me about Quinton Nelson is that's not a glamour

177
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: position offensive line, the guard spot. Typically when you're talking

178
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: about taking somebody dead early, maybe a top six, top

179
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: seven pick, you're thinking tackle. The only problem is that

180
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: the tackles are not rated that highly. This year and

181
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: one of the first two guys. There's kind of a

182
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: mix up top with Mike McGlinchey who played next to

183
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: Quinton Nelson. Then you get Connor Williams out of Texas

184
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: and Orlando Brown who protected Baker Mayfield's blindside for the

185
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: majority of his career. There, so there's a group there,

186
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: and maybe e a one of those guys. His performances

187
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis will kind of separate them from the cluster air,

188
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: but we'll see what happens. But another guy at number six. Also,

189
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: for the record, if the Jets pick Quenton Nelson or

190
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: any offensive player at number six overall, that's the first

191
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: time in nine years that they do so right. It

192
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: will be the first time in ten picks. The last

193
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: pick is the last offensive player. The Jets selected Mark

194
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: Sanchez quarterback, usc they have it, and let's let's flip.

195
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: Let's flip the ball here to defense because from a

196
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: defensive perspective here, there's only a couple of guys that

197
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: I think most pundits would have the Jets selecting, one

198
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: of them being mink Of Fitzpatrick, who's an interesting hybrid

199
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: player because he's lined up at corner. He's lined up

200
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: as safety, he's lined up as a nickel, and a

201
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: lot of people, well, the Jets don't need a safety,

202
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: you know, is that they're set at safety for years

203
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: to come with a tremendously talented duo and Jamal Adams

204
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: the six overall pick last year, and then obviously Marcus

205
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: May the second round pick of my mcagnet in two

206
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: thousand and seventeen. With that being said, the thing that

207
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 1: I find the most interesting about Fitzpatrick is you called

208
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: him a chess piece, and you're right. If he is

209
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: a slot defender, is he at top ten? Pick two

210
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: other guys that you're hearing a lot of people get

211
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: some love to our Denzel Award Ohio State. And then

212
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: guy who Kleiper absolutely loves his Josh Jackson cornerback Iowa.

213
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: You know, if you look at the guy that you've

214
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: moved down, the guy who I think would fit that

215
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: movie be Josh Jackson from Iowa. But he's projected into

216
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: the twenties, so I think he's maybe the eleventh best player,

217
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: and he don't take the eleventh best player with a

218
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: sixth pick. You want to get a guy inside your

219
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: top five where you want to trade down so I

220
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: think that would be a kind of a quandary for

221
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: the chest at that point. Josh Jackson is an interesting

222
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: case because he came to Iowa as a receiver, so

223
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: he has tremendous hands, used more of a ball hawk

224
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: than someone like Denzel Award. But Josh Jackson, to me,

225
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: he had a great senior year or last year, but

226
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: he he was never really on the college radar beforehand

227
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: with someone like Delziel. Ward did knock on him is

228
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: his height. And this is also wart season, I know,

229
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: his mock draft season. It's wart season because all these

230
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: guys are under a microscope, so you kind of forget

231
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: how good these guys are. And that goes for all

232
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks and all the top players is oh, well

233
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: can he do this? Can he do that? Well? No

234
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: player is perfect, but these are the top players in

235
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: this year's draft, and someone like Mickey Fitzpatrick is I

236
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: think best suited as However, he'd be used in that

237
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: if you move him around a little bit and he

238
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: does a little bit of this, it does a little

239
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: bit of that. If he were to come here, I

240
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: would assume Todd Bowles would know exactly how he would

241
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: want to deploy him. Listen, you know, I get back

242
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: to what we touched on the onset here Green's is set.

243
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: All options are on the table for the Jets at

244
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. So the number one thing that you

245
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: want answered from the organization in an offseason is what

246
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: direction were you going at in regards to the quarterback? Uh?

247
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: It's expected that Kirk Cousins has that explaining contract, that

248
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: he will be a coveted free agent by multiple suitors

249
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: out there. What are the Vikings going to do with

250
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: their threesome of quarterbacks? It's been reported earlier this week

251
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: that case Keenum is not going to get the franchise tag,

252
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: so he's an expiring contract. Teddy Bridgewater, Sam Bradford, A

253
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: J McCarron. He won his battle with the National Football

254
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: League with Cincinnati Bengals, I should say, and he's gonna

255
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: be a guy out there. It's expected, So, well, how

256
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: are the Dominos going to fall in free agency? And

257
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: I would be remiss if I didn't mention Josh McConnell

258
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: in a career year last year with Oh by the way,

259
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: the Jets new offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates being his quarterbacks coach.

260
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: Josh mcconnen wants to play, and he wants to play

261
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: for the Jets, So the Jets good re signment, cown

262
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: and or take a look at a number of these

263
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: guys who are floating out there, and there could be

264
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: some other moves made over the next week or two

265
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: before we get to free agency. And then we moved

266
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: to the draft, and he said, people are wondering the

267
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: para McCown up with potentially whoever you have in house

268
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: right now, Brayce Petty, Christian Hackenburg under contract, and add

269
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: a quarterback with that sixth overall selection. The guys that

270
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: people are talking about predominantly at the top of the

271
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: draft at the quarterback spot, Sam Donald, Josh Allen, Josh Rosen,

272
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. It seems like to me Green's and You're

273
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: following this just as much as me right now that

274
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: those four have separated themselves from the pack. With that

275
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: being said, a guy that I'm fascinated by is Lamar

276
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: Jackson because he was an electrifying college player. He won

277
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy and then people kind of got all

278
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: of him this year and I don't know what to

279
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: make of him as uh, potentially on the pro level.

280
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: But Lamar Jackson is a dynamic athlete, and he was

281
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: a superstar at the collegiate level, so I'm intrigued by

282
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: where he winds up. I know some people said, well,

283
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: maybe we make him as a wide receiver. I view

284
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: him as a quarterback. I think Lamar Jackson often in

285
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: the college football season was overlooked, but now everyone's coming

286
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: out and complimenting him. I mean, Michael Vick said, Lamar

287
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: Jackson is better than I was at that point in

288
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: his career. Mike Mayock thinks he's the most electrifying player

289
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: not in the NFL. WHOA, whoa as a draft prospect. Yeah,

290
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: let's get to that sound right now. The one way

291
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: outside the box conversation with Lamar Jackson, who I think

292
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: is the most electrifying player in this draft. And I

293
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: think somebody's gonna take him and commit their offense the

294
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: philosophy to him. And I would tell you that the

295
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: most nervous thirty one people in the league would be

296
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinators that would have to play against them. Well,

297
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: I think with Lamar you see accuracy throwing the football

298
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: and finished his career round fifty seven percent, so you

299
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: know you can throw path with Bolt, you know, with

300
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: wide open receivers and uh and in the call him

301
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: in the area throws in college, you can't get away

302
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: with that in the NFL. But he's got talent and

303
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: he's like I remember Rich Gannon when he came out

304
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: of Delaware. It was a similar entity. They said, great athlete,

305
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: we can make him a dB or a receiver, and

306
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: he developed into a hack of a quarterback. So if

307
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: you give a Lamar Jackson time as a second round pick,

308
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: I think there's a champ he could be in an

309
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: effective starter down the road. You always had that fallback

310
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: plan though with Lamar Jackson because of his athleticism that

311
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: maybe be a wide receiver. Well, we don't know if

312
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: he can do that. We know if he wants to

313
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: do that. So if you drest him like you don't

314
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: have to drest him as a quarterback and he's like

315
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, would be a fallback plan. And then

316
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,719
Speaker 1: adding on to Mike Mayock is Bucky Brooks actually has

317
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson ahead of Josh Allen. So I think it'll

318
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: be fascinating these see these guys on the field that

319
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: Lucas Oil Stadium. Because one we haven't seen him throw

320
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: in a while. Yes they're in shorts, Yes they don't

321
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: have I would imagine all these guys are gonna have

322
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: decent days. You think so, yes, and a theoretical setting,

323
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: but it's a it's a very controlled atmosphere and you're

324
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,479
Speaker 1: thrown against their Josh Rosen is probably the most accurate

325
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: pastor of the lot when you're talking about the purest pastor.

326
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: But you know, we can go up and down and say, well,

327
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: this guy's pros and this many cons against him. When

328
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: you think about Donald is that he's more mobile, he's bigger,

329
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: he seems to make some place when things break down

330
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 1: around him, and he's got some horky jerky nous to him.

331
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: But he's also got a lot of intangibles. A lot

332
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: of people think he's gonna be then over one overall,

333
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: pick Rosen, purest pastor in the draft, most accurate pastor

334
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: in the draft. Has been banged up at times at

335
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: u c L a very strong personality. Josh sam One

336
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: Mayock said he's got the strongest army scene since JaMarcus Russell.

337
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: And he wasn't trying to say that Josh Allen is

338
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: gonna have any kind of with JaMarcus Russell. But he's

339
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: saying that that's what kind of arm strength the kid has.

340
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: Obviously Allen had completion. Did you see the issues at Wyoming?

341
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: Did you see the video of Josh Allen on both

342
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: knees at midfield throwing the ball and hitting the crossbar? No,

343
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: but that gives you strength. But how many times in

344
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: the NFL have you seen a guy well, you mean

345
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: you've never seen that? No, I haven't seen that. Okay, okay,

346
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: So then he got he got Baker Mayfield, who's tremendously

347
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: competitive and athletic, and he he can move and I

348
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: think he's an accurate pastor, and he's very competitive and

349
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: a lot of people, as some pundits would say, is

350
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: that is he your cup of tea? Because he's a

351
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: different kind of guy. Well, you had said earlier today,

352
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: you had told me each of the different quarterbacks is like,

353
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: he's kind of ice cream flavors. What, Yeah, you have

354
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: been chocolate chip guy, either that or some form of

355
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: cookies and cream. Okay, what about you? So those are

356
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: traditional flavors. I guess I like something with peanut butter

357
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: in it or cookie doll. Okay, all right, yeah, yeah,

358
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: I like cookie dough and I do like peanut butter.

359
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: You like cookie dough out of raw cookie dough like

360
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: out of the hey you're asking ice cream? Yeah no,

361
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: but I I got I got off track there, that's

362
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: all right. E a over there. Follow him on Twitter

363
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: at ye all and jets me Ethan Greenberg, Ethan B.

364
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: Greenberg not be just the letter B. This is the

365
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: official JEZZ Podcast. Okay, so you mentioned guys who weren't quarterbacks. Well,

366
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: let's Quentin alson making Fitzpatrick thens our Ward we talked about,

367
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: and then let's go to the pass rushers. How about

368
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 1: Bradley Chubb, Marcus Davenford, a guy that you are very

369
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: familiar with because you were on hand and mobile watching

370
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: him practice at the Senior Bowl. And then l s

371
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: U has a pass rusher to who's considered maybe that

372
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: top three group. But to me, the flash point of

373
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: the draft. I was about to bring this up, the

374
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: flash point, the flash point, the early flash point of

375
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: this draft is going to be number three in Indianapolis,

376
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: and what are they going to do? Right? But what

377
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: for you? What makes them the flash point compared to

378
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: let's say I think, well, I think Cleveland takes a

379
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: quarterback at one. You know, I think, as we sit

380
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: here today, I think that's gonna be Sam Donald. The

381
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: Giants could go in a lot of different directions, but

382
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of salary cap space. They

383
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: want Eli Manning to return. All signs indicate that he's

384
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: going to be returning. One is the the next time

385
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: you're gonna be up here this high in the draft.

386
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: Giants dealt with a lot of injuries last year. I'm saying,

387
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: if you're the Giants, your play right now is probably

388
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Indianapolis, why is it a flashpoint? Because they

389
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: have a quarterback and Andrew luck is saying his shoulders

390
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: feeling better. So what do they do there? They go

391
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: Bradley Chubb, they go to this generational talent maybe at

392
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: running back and say Kwon Barkley, or do they trade out.

393
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: I think the Giants are very interesting. Nothing is because

394
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: I go back to Indianapolis and say they have a quarterback.

395
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 1: The Giants could take a quarterback. I think Indianapolis is

396
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: more likely to move out since they do have a quarterback.

397
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: That's why I say it's a flash The Giants are

398
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: sitting there at too would they move back. Sure, all

399
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: those teams up in the top five, top six, Mike

400
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: mccagnan is gonna say that he's gonna listen to teams

401
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: that want to come up. He's gonna call all the

402
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: teams in front of him. He's gonna do his due diligence.

403
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: I'm saying Indianapolis is different because if they have no

404
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: concerns about or limited concerns I should say about Andrew

405
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: Luck's health, they have a quarterback and they would have

406
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: more impetus to tray out. Could you I mean, I

407
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: know this is very very unlikely, but could you imagine

408
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: don't we have some sound? Can we get to the sound? Yeah? Yeah, fine, fine.

409
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: I think there are at least four different difference makers

410
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: at the top end that they are also clean off

411
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 1: the field, and it would all fit Indianapolis. And if

412
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: you discount the idea of trading down, which I think

413
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: they have to be aware of. Secondly, given the quarterback

414
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: rush this year, so I think you have a you

415
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: have to be aware of trading down and then be

416
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: after that job is definitely worth a pick. Ka Kawon

417
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: Barkley is a transformational back and I would put him

418
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: in The same category is for Net Girly and Zeke Elliott,

419
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: all of whom have been top ten picks and made

420
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: the teams better immediately. Um, I would throw Quinton Nelson,

421
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: the guard from Notre Dame in there, and make up

422
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick the safety slash corner from Alabama and for some

423
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: teams vita Ya de Backle. So to me, they are

424
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: kind of like the Five Guys where you go, wow,

425
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 1: you can plug and play. But I'd also be aware

426
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: in Indian apples of the potential trade down. I just

427
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: want to say, I know this isn't gonna happen, or

428
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: I assume it's not gonna happen, because in the draft

429
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: you really just don't know at the end of the day.

430
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: But could you imagine what kind of ripple effect it

431
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: would have you A if the Colts actually selected a quarterback. Oh,

432
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: that'd be fascinating. It's not gonna happen. I didn't say.

433
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: I didn't say it would. I don't think it will.

434
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: I just think that would beus. This is not the

435
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: Fantasy Land podcast. Okay, so that's not gonna happen. Okay, alright,

436
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: So the Giants, yes, they could take see Kwon Barkley.

437
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: So I still think the Giants. Is Josh Allen the

438
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: guy for them? I don't know. Maybe, yeah, I think

439
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: so too. That's been the what's gonna happen? And my

440
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: other thing is Cleveland all So holds a lot of cards.

441
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: Obviously you got two picks in the top four because

442
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: you take that quarterback one or do they address the

443
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: quarterback much like the Jets are in a similar situation

444
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: that they have a lot of money to spend. Do

445
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: they try to go out and get a veteran and

446
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: then take a quarterback at maybe not one, but four. Well,

447
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 1: remember this is a J. McCarron's a free agent. A J.

448
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: McCarron was, you know, probably the closest thing to a

449
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: Brown in the off season. However, since they have a

450
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: new GM. So I'm we're at the This is where

451
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: we are right now as it stands, right before the Colby.

452
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: We're at the point where you start to see snowfall

453
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: from the top of the mountain. And then once the

454
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: league year turns on March fourteenth at four PM or

455
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: whatever the whole that the mountains coming down, the avalanche starting,

456
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: the dominoes go into effect. How whatever analogy you want

457
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 1: to use. I think everyone's scooting up to the edge

458
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: of their seat waiting, just waiting to see what's gonna happen,

459
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: because their rumors left and right about this guy and

460

Speaker 1: that guy, and it's just I'm excited. It's about damn time. Wow,

00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: not there yet, Young Pop So Free Ncy starts March fourteenth,

463
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,239
Speaker 1: but March twelve, teams will be able to negotiate with

464
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: players with who have expiring contracts. Drew Brees, you, I

465
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: expect them to be a saint, he said that. He

466
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: said as much leaving on Bow. A lot of people

467
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: anticipate he'll get the franchise tag from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

468
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence, a pass rusher at fourteen and a half

469
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: sacks last year with the Cowboys. He probably gets the tag.

470
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: Ziggy Anza in Detroit, could he get the tag? If

471
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: he goes on the market, He's gonna have a lot

472
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: of suitors. And then from there, you know, through a

473
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: lot of interesting names. Andrew Norwell, a guard from the

474
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. Sammy Watkins, a former first round pick. Yeah, yeah,

475
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: so you then we tell you to speak about the

476
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: cornerback position because we're talking about ens Award and we're

477
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: talking about Makeupitspetra, what about Malcolm Butler and Tremaine Johnson. Um.

478
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: You know. So it's gonna be a really interesting couple

479
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: of weeks because there's gonna be a lot of surprises

480
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 1: and a lot of curb balls. That's what I anticipate.

481
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: And my thing with the combine is it's a league

482
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: get together. It's a league event, and people talk during

483
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: this event. So Wednesday will be Jets Day. Mike mcagnan

484
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 1: and Todd Bowls. Don't expect them to reveal too much,

485
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: as they shouldn't. Before you go into battle, you don't

486
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: reveal your plans. Um. With that being said, maybe we

487
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: hear something. As far as guys, they have been able

488
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: to negotiate with the Morris Clayborns of the world, Josh mccowns,

489
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: the Austin Safari and Jenkins and of course to Mario Davis.

490
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: Those are the foreign, strict, restrictive free agents that headline

491
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: the Jets class right now, and those are the guys

492
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: that can negotiate with now before we get to March twelfth,

493
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: and then March fourteen. The market is open and the

494
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: combine is just a piece of the draft process. Um,

495
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: you just have a lot of people in the NFL,

496
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: a lot of reporters, a lot of scouts, a lot

497
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: of coaches, a lot of g ms. Everybody is there

498
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: and about a couple of square miles So there's a

499
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: lot of talking, a lot of communication going on there.

500
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: This is what's beautiful about the NFL. There's there is

501
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: an off season, but there is no offseason because there's

502
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: something constantly that pulls the fans in. Yeah. I just

503
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: think that this is an awfully exciting time for Jets fans.

504
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: And one thing that I want to be clear about

505
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: is I think Mike mccagnet, Todd, Bowls and company have

506
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: go in this with a number of different options. I

507
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: don't think all eggs are going to be in one basket.

508
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: You get that sense out there sometimes because the quarterback

509
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: position is in so much demand across the national football

510
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: that you gotta get this guy, you gotta get this guy.

511
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: Let's see their plans on full because with the league

512
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: in the way it works, especially in free agency, is

513
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: that maybe you have something set for Option A, but

514
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna have option B, Option C, and maybe they

515
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna look at it that way. It's one A,

516
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: one B, one C. You don't know. That's the That's

517
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: I think that's the best part about this whole process

518
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: and the draft and free agency. You just don't know.

519
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: It's an adrenaline rush when it happens, and that's all

520
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: we have. On this week's episode of the Official Jets

521
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: podcast that was a combine preview. How do you feel

522
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: about going into the combine? Are you excited? I feel

523
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: fine about working out the other day the other I

524
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: saw you had a forty eight hour set on your

525
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: stof no listen. I ran six miles on Sunday. Four

526
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: miles I did it and just over twenty eight minutes,

527
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: so that was really good for me. And then six

528
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: miles I did and under eight minutes a mile, so

529
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: I was happy about that. And my lifting program is

530

Speaker 1: bun on point. So I am ready for the convoy.
