It's like when you wear 0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:29.400 the black uniforms. That means we mean business. So that 0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.600 means this podcast means business. That means this Jets season 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:35.199 we mean business. And listen, I hope we. 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:37.400 Can harness some of that inner Prime Time. 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:40.400 Because I feel like, oh, I feel like I feel 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:45.400 like the Jets this season is like Colorado. Right, they 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:50.319 want to hate you, right, and they don't believe, right, Yeah, but. 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:52.920 Prime made the guys believe. 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:55.080 And I hope, you know, Monday Night football, I hope 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.120 a a Ryn silence all the haters and the dollars. 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:02.400 I've never seen a team maybe since maybe since the 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:07.040 second year of Rex people hate for no reason. I've 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:10.800 never seen people always go the last half empty intead 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:14.240 of glass half full. Since we were like the hated 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.199 loud mouse. Right, And this is the crazy part, right, 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:19.319 there's more than one way to skin a cat. And 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:23.679 you understand, right, Sala hasn't said anything. Aaron Rodgers has 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:25.640 been the perfect model citizen. 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:27.280 Yet they hate anyway. 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:33.080 Why right, everybody's so optimistic about the Detroit Lions. Right, 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.119 you talk about a team that finished strong, the Jets 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:39.120 were seven to nine. Usually, you know, people are happy, like, 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.800 oh man, this this team is young. They're exciting. But 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:45.600 when you bring in a four time MVP, so comes 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.320 to hate for no reason. 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:49.480 No reason. 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.960 People can't even explain it. And it's not even the media, 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:57.400 it's other general managers. It's the other guys that, oh, 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.280 you can't build a team like this, and so the 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:03.160 correlation between Prime only having ten players left on his 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.360 roster from the year before, or you can't build a 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.120 team like this. They are like the Jets haven't built 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.880 the team the right way. They have built the team 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.400 the way you want to build a team through the 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:18.320 draft and made themselves attractive enough to be able to 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:24.600 attract Alan Lazard. Because you're able to attract Nathan, you 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.919 hack it who could have set on his ass quite 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:31.200 frankly and collected a check, right, and it brings over 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:34.280 everybody else. So they act like the Jets just went 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:36.920 out and tried to be like the nineteen or the 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:38.639 two thousand, I don't know what year. 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.120 That was, Washington Redskins. 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.240 Team that went out and just brought all these players 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.160 in and went and ball to spend money. No, they 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:49.400 strategically built this team the right way and they attracted 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.400 a four time MVP. And everybody's mad. What have the 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.480 Jets said? They hav't boasts them said anything. Everybody laughed 0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:00.720 when the Brass went out to California and all this stuff. 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:02.799 It's funny like how everybody. 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:04.519 Was, oh, man, it'd be great if Aaron Rodgers goes 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.600 to the Jets, right, remember that when the season ended. 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.040 Like, oh, he should go to the Jets, he should 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:09.600 go to Jets. 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.960 Well guess what he came to the Jets, and everybody 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.239 now are upset. I feel like they're there, they're Colorado, 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:15.920 and I feel. 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:16.800 Like they're the Brooklyn Nets. 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.200 Remember how everybody loved the Brooklyn Nets with the bird 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:23.400 and Jared Allen. Oh man, this team plays right, And 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.520 as soon as they got Kevin Durant and Kyrie Avery, 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:27.320 oh they cheating? 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:27.920 I hate him? 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:32.160 Right, how's that hated? Nobody? Listen I've talked to people 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:32.960 on my radio show. 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.280 This guy's ready to roll today, subscribe, rate and review 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:41.880 official jests, pot this guy is gonna be here throughout 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.320 the twenty twenty three season. And we've been doing this 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:49.360 together since two thousand and nine. Two thousand and nine 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:51.600 is when we started doing contact. 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.680 Is it time for us to get lifetime achievement awards? 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.760 I don't know, like we should get the world's smallest 0:03:57.760 --> 0:03:59.840 trophy for our consistency. 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.480 We used to call it Jets Radio back in the day. 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:07.560 Oh man, I ran after you at Sunny Cortland asking you, 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:08.720 begging you to come on. 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:11.840 How far we come? We got, we got our own studio. 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.520 Now we got big time sponsors.

So you just brought up a bunch of 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:29.120 fascinating points. So why are the Jets so polarizing? Is 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.920 it because they were under the bright lights of hard 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:38.520 Knocks this summer? Is it because Aaron Rodgers joined the Jets? 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:44.359 Is it because how do they have a number of young, 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.880 talented players who are not polarizing at all? What is 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.800 the deal? What is it? The brand? Is it what's 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:54.159 happened in the past. Is it because bart Scott said 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.440 the Patriots couldn't stop a nosebleed back in twenty ten? 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.360 What is it? Well, when you. 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.240 Look at it and you look at where the Jets 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.960 are and you're saying, okay, this is a team that 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:08.000 got one of the most polarizing players, right, And not 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.200 only has he come and been a model citizen, he 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.000 did everything. 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.400 This year that he didn't do lash in Green Bay. 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.440 So now they the courtunes were will he come and 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:18.799 stay for ot as? 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:20.280 What he what do he will he? 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:21.080 Uh? 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.400 Would he mentor and come together with the young players? 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.440 Would he be able to be one of the guys? 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.000 And not only that, I mean he went on a 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.720 dating circuit no other like no other. Right, He's been 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.200 everywhere like you see him yesterday at the at the 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.440 US Open, right or what is it he's. 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.880 Got aer like you? Yeah, he was at the US right, 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.800 US Open, He went to Taylor Swift, he took Sauce 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:44.800 Gardner to the Knicks playoffs. 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.400 So people listen, this is this is the thing. This 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:49.800 is the thing. 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.480 Right when you think about the New York Jets, like 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:56.320 they've been the butt of everybody's jokes for decades, and 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.479 much like when people are getting bullied, other people just 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.080 join in because they don't want to be made fun of. Right, 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.279 So like it's something cool, Right. You see it with 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.640 the Mets in this town as well. Right, it's like 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.360 because they've been one thing for such a long time, 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.800 people think that they can't change their stripes. Like, well, 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.200 you look at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There used to 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:20.160 be the cream Sickles. You look at the Saints, they 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.760 used to be the Aints. You talk about a world 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.120 in which the Cardinals went to the Super Bowl, Right, 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.280 So people don't understand there's always a point. 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.160 In history where things change. 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.760 And you talk about you know, Woody Johnson and Chris 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:37.880 bringing in Salah, bringing in Joe Douglas, all of a sudden, 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.960 ain't nothing funny anymore. All of a sudden, there's long 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.800 term plans. You're thinking about the present, you're thinking about 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.839 the future, right, and the plan is working out in 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.000 the development the first thing they had to do was 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.120 come in and strip it down. They stripped it down 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:55.560 over ugly lean years. But now, whether Aaron Rodgers was 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.719 here or not, you still were in position to attract 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:03.080 a car, right, you still probably could have attracted a Garoppolo. 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:08.200 Why because people see and understand that the narrative is changing. 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.480 But what happens is the people on the outside, their 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.240 use and accustomed to the Jets been a certain way 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.000 for the last ten years, since twenty ten, right, and 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.480 so it's just it's low hanging fruit. But once again, 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.920 I can't wait for these guys to prove everybody wrong, 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.800 to silence the doubters and then say, now what do 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:27.400 you say? 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:29.920 Now what do you think? Right? Because I'm tired of 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:31.840 the narrative? Right? Oh will he come? 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.960 Well, they're going to get Listen, everybody decided to take 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:39.040 a negative perspective. That's just one perspective, and that's because 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.720 they're haters. And they hate because they understand that New 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.080 York is one of the best cities, if not the 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.040 best city in the world. Right, and they know that 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.240 they really can't say anything about the other team around 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.040 time because they got the hardware, right. But you know, 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.520 if the Jets add another title there, they'll have to 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.960 shut their mouths. And even if Aaron Rodgers comes here 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:03.280 for two years and lee right, the foundation is set 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.520 to still be a successful, competitive team with or without 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:08.840 Aaron Rodgers. If you look at the development, you see 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.280 guys ready to take the net set next step, you 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.760 see guys like Jermaine Johnson, a light turning on. You 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.800 understand that you know Joe Douglas, I think learned a 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:17.880 lot from Ozie Newsom. 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:22.840 He learned a lot from Roseman. Yeah, how Roseman? Right? 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:24.920 And you look at how he has to set up. 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.480 He has replacements in place, and everybody wanted to criticize 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:31.400 the picks that he's made and nobody bats a thousand percent, 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:33.720 but everybody wants to point out the ones that he 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:35.880 didn't hit on. And to me, one of the greatest 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.319 comeback stories. And everybody talks about who's going to be 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:39.800 comeback player of the year. I would love to see 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.719 Makai beck To become comeback player of the year, right. 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:46.439 And it's amazing how the narrative can change, and from 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:50.120 game to game, but from month to month, right, And 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.800 sometimes it takes you talk about the value of Aaron Rodgers, 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.360 not just about what he does on the field, but 0:08:56.400 --> 0:09:00.440 it's him being able to publicly lift Makai Beckon up. 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.040 You don't think Makai heard that, You don't think. Makai 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:09.320 believes that sometimes people don't understand that athletes sometimes are fragile, 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.320 and a lot of athletes, even though they have this 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:16.240 bravado like they're super confident, they're not a lot of. 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:19.440 Times people expect you guys to be human beings. 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.120 Right, I mean it's a lot a lot of athletes 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:23.160 have huge insecurities. 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:23.959 Right. 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.040 You don't know what it was like growing up being 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:29.600 as big as Makai was right standing out. You see 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:31.560 it now when it's popular for him to be a 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.439 big guy three hundred pounds, It's like, oh wow, how 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.000 do you think that was when he's fifteen, when he 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.640 couldn't find shoes to fit, when he couldn't find clothes 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:41.439 to fit, where he had to wear the same thing 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.600 because clothes was You don't know what his life was 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.400 and what insecurities that he have embedded, and. 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:48.000 That it's also going to mess with your mind if 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.840 you have two consecutive years that are ended. 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:55.240 Begining and you start to hear the disappointment the bus 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.679 he has to change. Best case scenario, Makai Beckton comes 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.360 here and he balls out and he plays and he 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.319 stays healthy and it just decide to buy in and 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.520 make him part of this future of this core. And 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.280 then Dwayne Brown moves on and he moves to left tackle. 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.720 So you just talked about the talent that is here 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.439 on the roster. Yes, I'd make the argument that you 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:22.040 have at least ten blue chip players right now, Elijah Verrattalker, 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:27.320 Dlvin Cook, Breist Hall, Garrett Wilson. And then you flip 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.559 it on the other side of the ball. Yeah, Quinn Williams, 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:35.320 saw CJ. Moseley, Sauce Gardner, DJ Reid, special teams, you 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.640 got Justin Hardy. Okay, you talked about Jermaine Johnson. 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:42.320 Well, guys who are poised to graduate from being right 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.120 and I'm not who could listen, I think? 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:47.840 And then you got the Hall of Fame quarterback who's 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:48.679 a blue chip player? 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:54.480 Still I believe that a guy like Jermaine Johnson could 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:58.080 graduate this year and listen, Like I said, I played 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.720 with Terrell Suggs, I play with Peter Brow where I 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:04.880 played with Adelius Thomas. And it's a huge difference from 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:08.280 the first year to the second year. And you know, I, 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.280 you know I usually I did this little poll on 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:14.280 a radio show and I was like, Okay, who do 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.000 you think is going to have the bigger impact this year, 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.360 Kavon Thibodeau or Jermaine Johnson. 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.240 And I think Jermaine Johnson. 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:26.040 Is poised to be a superstar wow this year, right, 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.760 And I think he's poised to take the next step. 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:33.040 And if he doesn't make a Pro Bowl, I expect 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.840 him to be right there, poised for the next year 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.599 to be expected to be a guy that's going to 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.320 be one of the best pass rushers in this game. 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.080 And you know, I think he's set up to be 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.720 able to. You know, and like I said, when I 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:50.520 go back to the the Asie Newsome in the Howie 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.000 Roseman is you want to have guys people are well, 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.840 they already got pass rushers. Why didn't they move up 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:57.559 to get attack or why didn't they move up to 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:00.800 get a guard or a high end def player off 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.960 the offensive line. You have to understand that in football 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:09.000 it's the redistribution of funds. Everybody can't stay and sometimes 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:12.040 people have to graduate, but you want them to graduate 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:17.320 a year later or the year early than too late. Right, 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.360 So you talk about like, look how he has to 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.920 set up why would you go get McDonald, Well, you 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.240 understand that you know lost and has been great, and 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.560 it was tremendous what he did taking a pay cut. 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.440 That speaks to the culture, that speaks to him wanting 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:30.960 to buy in. 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:32.880 It speaks to him as a person. 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.560 Right, him as a person, but also the environment in 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:39.120 which the Jets have cultivated, in which somebody will say, 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:41.280 you know what, I'd rather take less to stay here 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.720 than to be released and go sign somewhere else because 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:48.000 I believe in what they're building. But that also sets 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.800 you up understanding that it's about the redistribution next year. 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:56.080 See Solid worries about the now, Joe Douglas worries about 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:56.960 the now. 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:57.640 And the future. 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:01.840 And the future is that you can't especially the hardest 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:07.360 positions to pay are defensive end and you talk about corner, 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.640 you talk about left tackle, right, those are those are 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:12.720 the money positions that eats up a lot of money. 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.960 Yeah right, So so so look at what Solid had 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.920 means and what Joe has to prepare for. He has 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.600 to prepare for the fact that you're going to have 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.000 to make Sauce the highest paid corner in the league 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:25.640 if he continues on this trajectory. 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.559 Also, you have to prepare for the fact that you have. 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.520 To make Garrett Wilson if he continues on it, and 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:35.120 if if if you know a a Rizzle does what 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:40.199 he does, he could, I would say, yeah, we talk 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.320 We talked about war right, and you talk about you know, 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.000 let's talk about Warren football. 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:46.760 Terms like. 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:53.040 What added value does Aaron Rodgers add to a guy 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.439 like Garrett Wilson. So you look at that, if he 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:59.880 has eleven yard eleventh hundred yards with you know, a 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.880 carousel of quarterbacks, what does that mean if Aaron Rodgers there, 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:05.800 So I would say that's worth four to five hundred 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.920 more yards. So if that puts him at sixteen hundred yards, 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:10.559 that puts him out there with the elite, That puts 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:12.120 him there with Tyreek Hill, that puts him here with 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:13.080 Devontae Adams. 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:13.800 You know what I mean? 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.480 Who knows if out there Jimmy g can even stay 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.520 healthy enough, so he's gonna be in position. 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:19.800 Yeah, by the end of the year, he's the top 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:20.440 five receiver. 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:24.520 My point so the fact that you already have the 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:28.240 replacements in place for redistribution, you already have lost in 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:32.800 his replacement, You already have Dwayne's replacement. If you know Beckton, 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.560 can you stay healthy and prove what he needs to prove. 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:37.720 He can slide back over and go to the position 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.040 that he covets and that he wants to play right, 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.360 And so like you look at Vera Tucker, that has 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:45.280 to be addressed right, and I feel like because of 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.560 what he did and sacrificed, the. 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:48.240 World don't know. 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.440 In my opinion, Vera Tucker is the top five offensive lineman. 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:55.560 He should be looked at as the same as well, 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:59.920 not Linderbaum, the guy in Atlanta who's the highest PA 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.760 guard right now. He should be looked upon as Zach Martin. 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.400 He should be looked upon as Quentin Nelson. He should 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:09.160 be looked at pon as one of the elite guards. 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.920 But because he got injured and because he hasn't been 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.480 able to stay in the same position, people don't realize 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:15.280 how special he is. 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.080 Isn't it interesting now that early on in the careers 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:21.160 were thinking that it was gonna be Fara Tucker left guard, 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.120 back then left tackle. Now it sets up in twenty 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.520 three Faira Tucker right guard. 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:28.440 Uh huh. But who knows? 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.400 Right, it's always musical chairs, because just next year it 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.240 could be them to their original spots, and we saw 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.160 what that looked like when the short sample size his 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.440 first year. I mean, because I feel like he's more 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.400 comfortable on the left, but he's so talented, so versatile, 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:45.280 like he's not only the swing guard, but he's the 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.760 emergency tackle. I believe you know what I mean, because 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.760 he performed at a high level there. So all in all, 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.840 like this team is set up to be successful with 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:55.920 or without Aaron Rodgers in the future. Does it make 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:57.720 it more difficult if you don't have a Hall of Famer? 0:15:58.040 --> 0:15:59.840 But I think the Jets are making all the right moves. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.120 The time is now to capitalize. These windows open and 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.760 close in. This window for the Jets have been closed 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.680 for a long time, but I feel like it's opening 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.320 because of they built it the right way. 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.040 They didn go out and buy a bunch of free agents. 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:17.040 And you know, salary cap hell right, right, they're in 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.160 position right And do you make. 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.600 Of them being twenty million under the salary cap and 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.400 that flexibility? And also what was your reaction? Is a 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:28.280 guy who's played puts his body on the line that 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:32.080 and Rogers listen, he's a rich man, but he could 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.800 sit there and say I'm gonna take every cent. Yeah, 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.440 and he restructured a team friendly deal. 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.560 Well, when you think about Aaron, I think he's at 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:42.480 the point of his career and he came here. 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:43.600 Why would you come here? 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.000 Well, he came here because he saw something in his 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:49.200 team and he saw an opportunity for him to do things. 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.200 It's more ways skinners cap right, So the ways to 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:58.120 win championships. Young quarterback before his deal win a championship 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:02.280 or established quarterback with with with what we've seen. We've 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:06.399 seen Peyton Manning do it. We've saw Matthew Stafford do it, 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.760 and we saw Tom Brady do it. And I think 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.520 that you know, the model in which the Jets are 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:15.119 taking is the one where you think about because remember 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.440 when Peyton Manning went to Denver, nobody expect him go Denver. 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:18.439 They thought he was going to Tennessee. 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:21.879 Yes, and and you look at Denver tried to do 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:25.040 the same thing last year, but Russell Wilson wasn't up 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:28.920 to the task, right, So you look at how he 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:32.240 had He saw an opportunity for him to be able 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:36.320 to have input and in buying some of the groceries 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:38.480 and being able to bring some of the players over 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.040 that he trust and that he has a comfortability with 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:45.360 and also coming and not for him. I think he's 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:49.919 ahead of Tom Brady. I'm sorry, in front of Tom Brady, 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:53.040 and he's in front of Peyton Manning because he's coming over. 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.560 He doesn't have to integrate his system. 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:57.679 When they got to their new places right, when they 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.000 got to right. 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:03.359 He doesn't have to integrate his system and his beliefs 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:06.760 with the coordinator because they're the same. Where when you 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.280 think about remember what it was with Peyton Manning and 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.560 how him and Kobiak and they didn't mesh and they 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.040 had to figure it out, but they still went to 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:17.000 the super Bowl the first year, lost to Seattle and 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:19.959 came back and wanted the next year. You look at 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.880 Tom Brady, they were ten and six, they were struggling. 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:25.159 It took the buy for him and Bruce Aaron to 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.479 get on the same page. I expected Jets to hit 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:31.040 the ground running and understand that they have a difficult schedule. 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:34.800 That's listen, you can't avoid these teams. It's good to 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:38.120 play these teams now, in my opinion, because now when 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.080 you get to see him the second time, you know 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.560 how you match up and you'll be able to make adjustments. 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:44.359 So I'm excited. 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:47.320 And the fact that they did that allows them to 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:53.880 do and listen, the Jets are modernizing their strategy because 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.080 not only did do you have the money? And Corey 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:58.360 Davis decided to hang it up? And you know that's 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:01.600 a personal decision for everybody, but it's glass half full. 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.040 Looking at the bright side. It opened up a tremendous 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:07.480 salary cap space as well. So you look at that 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:09.720 and what's been going on for these past years. 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:11.480 I say, it is shocking that this roster is so 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:13.679 deep and talented that you're entering the season and you 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:14.480 got twenty million. 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:16.880 You're right, and it's going to get deeper. That's the thing. 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:19.520 So this is the thing. You can go and talk 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:21.480 to a guy like Makai right now. I mean you 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:23.560 can go talk to a guy like Bear Tucker right now. 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:28.320 Get that out the way front. Load that, let it 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:31.320 replenish and still be in great salary cap space. Yeah, 0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:34.639
