6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: you know, I was. I was lucky enough to come

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: down a couple of years uh with Howie Uh prior,

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: so this is my first league meeting. Jets. Is good.

9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: It's good to be down here with you. As the

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: weather is great. Black was was a bad choice for

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: this siding how hot it is. But uh, I feel

12
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: totally under addressed as you got to soon out today

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: as uh, you know, clean up once in a while

14
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: every decade or so. We were saying beforehand we we

15
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: would both be more comfortable with some tank tops on

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: and some shorts maybe, yeah, absolutely, hanging up pool do

17
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: this by the ocean breeze coming off the water. But

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: this is good. It's good to be here with you.

19
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: All right, Before we get into some that's business, what

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: do you think about the new overtime rule that which

21
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: just passed? Yeah, so it's exciting We're gonna have new

22
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: overtime rules this year in the postseason only, and each

23
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,199
Speaker 1: team is gonna have an opportunity to possess the ball

24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: regardless of how long the first drive goes. So, uh,

25
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: it's a good thing, I think. Um. Obviously, there was

26
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: probably a outcry from fans after a great a great

27
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: postseason general, but specifically that that Kansas City Buffalo game,

28
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: and you had two great offenses on the field, and

29
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: it just adds adds more excitement to postseason play when

30
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: when the stakes are highest. So your fans want to

31
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: see you in the postseason very soon. You made it

32
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: clear today when you talk to the reporters that the

33
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: plan is to be playing meaningful football in December. Yeah. Absolutely,

34
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: I mean I think now we're we're in year two

35
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: with with coach sol and his staff. You know, we uh,

36
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,639
Speaker 1: we had a lot of young players on the field

37
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: for us last year and there were some growing pains

38
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: associated with that. But the you know, with the thinking

39
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: that that now the payoff comes this year, we're gonna

40
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: keep adding young young players and young talent, but we're

41
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: going to continue to grow together. He said, it's year

42
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: two with coach Salo, but in many ways to consider

43
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: this like your first true off season together because he

44
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: got hired in the middle of January last year. Oh yeah,

45
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: you know this with everything that's been going on around

46
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: the world the last couple of years. Like Um, like

47
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: you mentioned, this is my first time coming down to

48
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: the owners meetings as Jets GM. This will be the

49
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: first draft as Jets GM where we can actually bring

50
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: players into the building prior to the draft on on

51
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: on pre draft visits. So um, even though this is

52
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: technically year three from me, Um, this is year one

53
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: in in some ways and part of the process and

54
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: just being able to do things that now that we've

55
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: gotten back to normal, how advantageous was last year for

56
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: you and Sale and your respective staffs. As you go

57
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: through a season and you learn skip familiarity, no doubt

58
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: what they're looking for or what you guys are looking for.

59
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: Well absolutely, I mean I think that was one of

60
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: the and I've talked about before, like the best meetings

61
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: we had was when we went over the team and

62
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: then they presented exactly what they're looking for and the

63
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: players and how they fit within the scheme. And we've

64
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: we've built off that and now, like I said, this

65
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: group is back together again year two, and I think

66
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: year two is is always a little bit easier, a

67
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: little bit better than year one when that when things

68
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: are being implemented for the first time. So now that

69
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: there's a there's a comfort with our coaches, they are

70
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: coaches are players. There there's an expectation level that everyone's

71
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: gonna walk in knowing, you know what, what what the

72
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: players expect from the coaches with the coaches expecting the players,

73
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: and we just we just build off that through O,

74
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: T A s and drinking camp following free agency meetings.

75
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: What did you come away with saying that, hey, this

76
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: is what we have to get done. Yeah, the the thing,

77
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: the thing that we really wanted to get done, you

78
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: know it was we know, like I said before, we

79
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: knew we had a young team UM on the field,

80
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: and we know we're going to continue get young with

81
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: all these draft picks UM. So the free agent plan

82
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: and it was great getting in the trenches with with Christopher,

83
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: with Woody himI, Um, Robert his staff are personnel staff,

84
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,720

85
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: and get our types of guys in free agency, and

86
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,159

Speaker 1: you are someone you know has a gambling problem called

114
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: one seven zero seven one one seven key talking about

115
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: the combination of character. That's something that Robert Salad kept

116
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: on coming back to when he talked about this Freecy class.

117
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: Also postseason experience. You mentioned that a little bit. You

118
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: got Lankin Thomlinson, who was part of that build in

119
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: San Francisco. He played in a Super Bowl. He was

120
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: just in the NFC Championship game. USAMA was part of

121
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: a build in Cincinnati where they go to to four.

122
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: They're playing in the Super Bowl. I don't think people

123
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: realize that d J. Reid is a guy who has

124
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: four postseason games on his resume. You mentioned white Head,

125
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: He's got a Super Bowl ring and he was part

126
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: of the playoffs last season in Tampa. He's only twenty

127
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: five years old. Absolutely, so the like I said, these

128
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: guys are good players that have played in a lot

129
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: of big games and where the stakes are highest, and

130
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: you know that on top of that, these guys are

131
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: what we're what we're looking for in terms of guys

132
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: that love football. Um, they're they're all in about uh,

133
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: coming in and competing love of the game, and so

134
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: that that's gonna permeate, you know, getting guys like that

135
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: and been adding them to the group of guys that

136
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: we have, the young guys that that you can feel

137
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: that in them too. Um, So it's it's uh, it's exciting.

138
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: Can you talk about an approach of being aggressive in

139
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: free agency but not reckless? Yeah. Um, look, I mean

140
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: we've we've positioned ourselves. Um, you know, we've had we've

141
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: had financial we've had financial flexibility, and we've we've been

142
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: able to acquire assets in the draft. Um, when there's

143
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: opportunities via trade, via a free agent signing, you know,

144
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: if it's if it's a player that fits what we're

145
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: looking to add to the team and the culture, and

146
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: we're we're gonna go out and be aggressive. Um. At

147
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: the same time, Um, you know, so at certain points

148
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: and certain players, it becomes a frenzied atmosphere and so

149
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: it's it's it's on us to just make sure that

150
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: we're aggressive. We're gonna go out and like coach said,

151
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna go out and swing a bat. You know,

152
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: we're just swing the bat when the opportunity presents itself.

153
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: But also not not lose what we work so hard

154
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: to gain in terms of the flexible financial flexibility that

155
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: that we have. We're down in Florida right now. You

156
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: just had a recent pursuit of a Chietah and Tyreek Hill.

157
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: Can you talk about that process a little bit and

158
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: just the overall philosophy of being ready to strike it. Yeah,

159
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: you know, Um, he was a guy that obviously one

160
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: of the of the premier playmakers in this league in

161
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: a weapon and so um, you know, there there was

162
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: when the opportunity came up. And you know, again it's

163
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: what we talked about. We uh, you know, we had it.

164
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: We had a good process in place. We had a

165
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: lot of great conversations, uh, leading up to that pursuit. Um.

166
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: Ultimately it didn't work out, but um, at the same time,

167
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: our process, our process was was was pure. You know.

168
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: We we we can go back and and and go

169
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 1: into that and and and talk about things that we

170
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: could maybe do differently, but UM, just being in position

171
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: to to be in those talks and to be as

172
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,599
Speaker 1: aggressive as we were. UM. And look, we know, we

173
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: know that there's gonna be other opportunities in the future,

174
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: but just just having the process that we had in

175
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: place to to to get in the running. UM, it's

176
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: something that we'll use moving forward. Can you talk about

177
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: the receiver position. I thought you made a couple very

178
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: important points today. You guys love Elijah more right, you

179
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: get Braxton Imperials back in the mix, and I think

180
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: people overlooked Corey Davis as far as what his stats

181
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: were going to be on pace if he was healthy.

182
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: Obviously he's got to stay healthy throughout there. Well, I mean, Eric,

183
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: you've seen, you've seen recently how how the wide receiver

184
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: market has really just exploded. And you know, obviously it's

185
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: an important position because it's these guys are dynamic playmakers.

186
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: But you know, we feel great about the receivers we

187
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: have on the team, you know, And like you mentioned,

188
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Elijah was was just coming on like crazy

189
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: his rookie year, UM sustaining the injury, so that was

190
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: tough losing him in the back back the back half

191
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: of the season, back a few games this season, and

192
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 1: then Braxton just stepped right up, you know, and he

193
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: became a playmaker for us. And you know, having the

194
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: opportunity to bring him back on the squad Corey Davis,

195
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: I believe he was on pace for a thousand yards

196
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: prior to his injury. And then you know, just i'd

197
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: be or Mr not bringing up a guy. It's just

198
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: working his tail off right now. You know, his agent

199
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: senting me videos and I'm seeing I'm seeing all these workouts.

200
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: Denzel Mims, Like, Denzel Mims is gonna come back. Um,

201
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, ready to attack. You know this this O

202
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: t A and offseason. So you know we we we

203
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: like the guys, We have a whole lot and so um,

204
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: you know, if the opportunity comes to add to that group,

205
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: which is already a good group in our mind, you know,

206
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: we're we're ready to do that and we'll get to

207
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 1: that capital. And second, going back to Tomlinson, I'm not

208
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: gonna ask you how you rank their free agency board,

209
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: but I gotta imagine he had to be right up

210
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: there and he definitely had multiple suitors. How big was

211
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: that for you? Guys securing him. Yeah, it was huge

212
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: because you know, we we always want to be strong

213
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,599
Speaker 1: up front, you know, Coach and I both say that,

214
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,599
Speaker 1: and so, um, this was a special situation because of

215
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: Laken's relationship with coach Solo with coach Leathlora with with

216
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: Coach Benton, and uh, the familiarity with the scheme and

217
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: what he brings as a person and the leader, and

218
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: you know, feel like feel feel you're just talking about

219
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver, but the offensive line um has a chance

220
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: to be a special group moving forward. Um, it's because

221
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: of the acquisitions that we've made in the last couple

222
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: of years through free h C and draft, and also

223
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: because of of a guy like Lake and Thomason just uh,

224
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: you know, I'm thankful for his his uh, him wanting

225
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: to be a part of this, you know, having having

226
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: gone through a similar WHI type rebuild in San France.

227
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: For him to come back and and and hop aboard

228
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: this train and be a part of what we're doing,

229
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's a special thing. Yeah, you

230
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: talked about it today about guy Beckton, your hopes for

231
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: him still and George fans a dynamic attackle you like

232
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: you're not only those two guys, and you're expecting McKay

233
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 1: back here in O t S, But can you talk

234
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: about the depted the tackle positions. You know, it's uh,

235
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be great to have George and McKay both

236
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: back and you have them, have them competing all three

237
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: O t as in camp and you know, and then

238
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: it's uh the rest of the competition at the tackle group,

239
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: you know. And we've been able to bring Connor McDermott

240
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: back who started started games for US and played a

241
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: lot of snaps for US, and Hecke's even started a

242
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 1: couple of games and guard for US and back in

243
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen. And then you know Chumah Adoga um

244
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: that started and played a lot of games for US. Two.

245
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 1: So we feel like we have four we have four

246
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: offensive tackles and obviously that's a premium position around around

247
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: this league. So we feel like we have four offensive

248
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: tackles that have started and played a lot of games,

249
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: and so having that depth at that position, uh, it's

250
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a luxury for US. Win bet

Speaker 1: You made a bit of news here this week. Signing

265
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: Solomon Thomas, can you talk about adding him to the

266
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: mix on the defensive interior after resigning Nathan Shepard? Yeah, so, uh,

267
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: Nate Nate coming back was a great thing also because

268
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: because Nate Nate. Just to talk about Nate and no one,

269
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: no one works harder, practices harder, plays harder than Nate.

270
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: I mean his strain levels through the chart through the roof.

271
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: And then to add like I think they're gonna be

272
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: like brothers and strain and effort and Solomon Thomas and

273
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: anyone who's ever been around Solomon Thomas and coach Solo

274
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: and his staff have been around him in San Francisco.

275
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: Of course, Uh, people can't say enough good things about him,

276
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: you know, just you know, receiving a text from someone

277
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: with the Raiders when we made that move and how

278
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: much they love Sally and what he what he brings

279
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: from an effort, toughness culture standpoint. So so adding adding another,

280
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: this is this is almost like, um, like Lake and

281
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: the guy that's been with Robert and his staff. Um,

282
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: they know what those expectations are from from those coaches

283
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: and brings the the exact type of temperament, personality, character

284
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: that we're looking for when we add anyone to this roster.

285
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: What's the next month is gonna be like for you?

286
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: Because everybody, now you're still this offseason is not complete,

287
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: and I know you're still gonna explore every avenue prior

288
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: to the draft, but just looking ahead of a sneak

289
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: preview with four and Taed and in the four in

290
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: the top thirty eight you talked about how special that could.

291
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: You're you're right, and you know, obviously you know free

292
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: agency is not over if there's opportunities there, there's there's

293
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: gonna be who knows that what other opportunities will presents

294
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: itself from trade. But now now like now you can

295
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: you're you're zoning in on the draft, right and that

296
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: that huge weekend in April that every that every fan loves.

297
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: And you know, we're sitting here with picks four, ten,

298
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: thirty five, thirty eight and then we've got five more

299
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: after that. So UM, it's a pretty pretty unique, pretty

300
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: cool situation to have four picks a high and uh,

301
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: you know there's a lot of there's a lot of

302
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: meat left on the bone to our for our process,

303
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: so to speak. You know, we'll get back with the

304
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: coaches in uh in April, early April, UM, and then

305
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: they'll really they'll throw their they'll throw their evils in there.

306
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: They've spent a lot of time on these with these

307
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: prospects and zoom calls, workouts, pro days and so um,

308
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: getting their opinion, getting their insight, their feedback on all

309
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: these players in the draft. It's gonna be it's gonna

310
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: be the biggest meetings that we have UM this offseason,

311
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: primarily because it will be the next meetings with the coaches,

312
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: but with with what we have going on this year

313
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: in the draft, the picks we have. Uh, it's it's

314
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: a unique opportunity to add a lot of difference makers

315
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: to this team. Finally, let's clarify something new. And Robert

316
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: sala are right because he talked yesterday said sometimes we

317
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: might have to go bare knuckle fighting. Yeah, I might

318
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: have to go to defensive side of the ball. Joe

319
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: likes the offensive line. You're a former tackle from Richmond.

320
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: We're okay, right, Yeah, I'm a lover, not a fighter.

321
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: But no, it's funny because the gods are asking me, okay,

322
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: oh line the line, who's gonna win and who's gonna

323
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: win this fight? And my my answer is the same,

324
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: like the Jets are gonna win. You know we you

325
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: know we we coach and I see the game the

326
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: same way. We see it through the same wins. And

327
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: you know, we both we both know how important the

328
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: line of scrimmages and how that's never gonna change. So um,

329
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: whether it's offense defensive line, Um, whoever wins, we all win.

330
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: Oh well, we appreciate your time. Maybe you can get

331
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: to change of clothes now and relaxed by the pool

332
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: for a couple of minutes hang out, a great see

333
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: anybody all right, Thanks sir,
