You are an aggressive play caller who is 61 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: a guy who's going to emphasize takeaways at every turn. 62 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 2: That's my foundation. 63 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 3: And when I came in the league with Lovey Smith, 64 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 3: you know, it was just really with Chicago taking the 65 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 3: football away, you know, with Peanut Tom and the peanut punch. 66 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 3: Chris Harris, who's on the staff right now as the 67 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 3: secondary coach pass game coordinator, he was another guy on 68 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 3: that team that believed in really stripping and taking the 69 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 3: ball Away and everywhere I've been that's always been our mantra, 70 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 3: you know. So that's something that we're going to continue 71 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 3: to coach and emphasize here. I'm all about the fundamentals 72 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 3: and technique, you know, Coach ag talks about it all 73 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 3: the time. It's not about our scheme, it's about our 74 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 3: play style. And that's the one thing that we want 75 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 3: to continue to emphasize. Being physical, you know, being smart right, 76 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 3: and understanding how to finish not only on the field right, 77 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 3: but even in the building. 78 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: How do you go about connecting the players. 79 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 2: I think that's always been my strong suit. 80 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 3: Is anything in life I believe is about building relationships 81 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 3: and having an understanding that there's life beyond football. And 82 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 3: when you can sit here and cultivate those relationships with 83 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 3: your players, I think it's easier to be able to 84 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 3: coach them on the field. 85 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 2: You know. 86 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 3: I said this back years ago with Josh Norman when 87 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 3: he left us in Carolina, he went to Washington and 88 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 3: people said, well, he was never really the same player, 89 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 3: and I said, you know, it's easy to develop the 90 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 3: player when you're taking time to develop the person. And 91 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 3: that's what I did with him in Carolina. We built 92 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 3: that relationship, so it was easy for me to coach 93 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 3: him and teach him on the field. 94 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: AG said the first thing when I asked him about 95 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: you was a straight shooter. 96 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 2: Yeah. 97 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, that's what I believe in. And I believe 98 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 3: in telling someone exactly what they need to hear, you know. 99 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 3: I think that's so important. You know, we talk about 100 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 3: all the time. You know, we want to act like 101 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 3: a champion, and that's accountability, commitment, and trust. And that's 102 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 3: what I'm trying to build with the team and that's 103 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 3: what I want to be able to get back from them. 104 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 2: And I'm always telling them the truth. You know. 105 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 3: Sometimes they may not like it, but I think they're 106 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 3: respected in the end. And I tell coaches all the time, 107 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 3: we have to have grown men conversations. We can't shy 108 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 3: away from things that we need to address. And I 109 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 3: think that's so important, and that's where we are right now, 110 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 3: you know, with Phase three, you know, talking about some 111 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: of the discipline stuff, being consistent in how we operate 112 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 3: on a day to day basis, and the guys are 113 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 3: completely buying in which I appreciate. 114 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: You've been a head coach in the National Football League. 115 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: How can that experience help you with Aaron, who is 116 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: an accomplished coach himself, but this is his first time 117 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: as a head coach in the National Football League. 118 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 3: I think it's just always trying to draw on past 119 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 3: experiences when things come up, and a lot of those 120 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 3: aren't really related to football, you know, So having an 121 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 3: ear that one who's gone through it and you know, 122 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 3: can really understand the situation that he's sitting in that seat. 123 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,239 Speaker 3: So I think that's so important to have that outlet 124 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 3: and that have that guy because sometimes in that seat, man, 125 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 3: you feel like there's no one you can talk to 126 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 3: because you're you're really dealing with different things way beyond football. 127 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 3: So I think, you know, I can be a sounding 128 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 3: board for him in regards to that. 129 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: Can you speak to the importance of the assistance on 130 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: your staff, the assistant coaches on your stuff, Man. 131 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 3: The assistant coaches are so huge. And I've said this 132 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 3: for years, Like the head coach delivers the message, he 133 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 3: says the foundation, and it's our responsibility as coordinators and 134 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 3: assistant coaches to echo that. And I try to do 135 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 3: the same thing as soon as I leave the team meeting, 136 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 3: you know, emphasizing the stuff that we talked about as 137 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 3: a staff and then now as assistant coaches, they have 138 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 3: really the most influenced because they're around their guys once 139 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 3: they go into those private, you know, individual rooms, it's about, 140 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 3: you know, the presentation and how you teach it, how 141 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 3: you present it, and guys man a phenomenal I bounced 142 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 3: around to each room.

You know, that's our mentality right here. 178 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 3: And as you mentioned earlier, Man it's about making plays 179 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 3: on the ball and taking the ball away. 180 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: What did you know about Sherwood before you got here 181 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: and why was that an important resigning for this defense 182 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: and the entire team? Well? 183 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 3: Well, really, man, you go back and I'm hoping, and 184 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 3: I don't like comparing, right, but when I look at 185 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 3: Sherwood and I really look at Quincy, man, I go 186 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 3: back over my tenure and you know Thomas and Luke, 187 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 3: you know, Fred Warner and Greenlaw a. 188 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 2: Few years ago. 189 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 3: They have that ability, you know, for us playing together 190 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 3: and being here in the off season and building that 191 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 3: foundation is great. Sherwood was really you know, at that point, 192 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 3: management AG decided to move on with mostly and I thought, 193 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 3: you know, Sherwood, is your time to step up in 194 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 3: that room and be that leader, not only in that 195 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 3: room but on that side of the defense. 196 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 2: You know. 197 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 3: And I can't tell you how pleased and excited I 198 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 3: am in the leadership role that he's taking, you know. 199 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 3: And you know you see that, you know a guy 200 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 3: that just got paid and it's like he's still hungry. 201 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 3: He's still hungry, he's still trying to make sure that 202 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 3: he does everything he can to help this defense. 203 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: What do you think about some of the pieces up front, 204 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: starting with a cornerstone defensive tackle in Quinn Williams Man. 205 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 3: I love Quinny, I love him. He's phenomenal. Uh, this 206 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 3: guy is one of the top the tackles in the NFL. 207 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 3: You know, when you look at other guys we brought 208 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 3: in Colen Byron, you know Jay, you know he is phenomenalus, 209 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,319 Speaker 3: quick off his feet, quick off the ball. I think 210 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 3: those guys are really going to compliment Quinny, you know. 211 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 3: And when even when you look outside and what we 212 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 3: have with will Germaine, you know clym And I'm excited 213 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 3: about Tyler Barron, you know, one of the guys that 214 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 3: we drafted right here. So all those guys are looking 215 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 3: good in their progression in the right direction. 216 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 2: All right. 217 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: Lastly, Sauce Garner, you mentioned your expectations for the secondary 218 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:11,599 Speaker 1: as a whole. What his coaching Sauce been like in 219 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: the early going, and what is your expectation going to 220 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: be from him as you get to these next stages, 221 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 1: because right now you're instilling the system. You're out here 222 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: in the spring and training camps on the horizon. 223 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 3: The first thing I would say about him smart, he 224 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 3: is tremendously smart, understands the game, sees it through a 225 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 3: different lands, which is great. Our dialogue and communication is 226 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 3: like I'm talking to one of the coaches and how 227 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 3: I present things to him. Formation splits id in certain 228 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 3: guys aligning at different positions. Therefore he can play fast 229 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 3: the system, you know, as we implement and install different things. 230 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 3: I think he's picking it up great. We're challenging him 231 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 3: right now to be consistent, you know, and his technique 232 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 3: and his approach. He can be one of the consistently 233 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 3: one of the top players in this league. As we 234 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 3: already know. I'm talking about, you know, a big time 235 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 3: you know corner as we had one here years ago 236 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 3: for as Revis. You know, he has that kind of 237 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 3: potential and ability. So I'm excited to see what he's 238 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,719 Speaker 3: going to do this year. Thanks coach, Thank you, I 239 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 3: appreciate it. 240 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: Get ready for all the action energy of Jet's game 241 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: day this season with twenty twenty five season tickets, lock 242 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: in your seats to be there for every snap of 243 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: exciting matchups at met Life Stadium at Andy Jets dot 244 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: Com slash season tickets. Q Aaron Glenn takes over here 245 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: with the Jets. Of course, defensive coordinator last four seasons 246 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: in Detroit, they flip that thing. He makes a very 247 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: important hire, I thought early on Steve Wilkes defensive coordinator. 248 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: For him, Wilkes is going to be calling plays and 249 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: also he brings that head coaching acumen to the table, 250 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: so he'll be able to help ag out throughout the season. 251 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, and one thing I love about this defense is 252 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 4: that all the coaches, well for the most part, are 253 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 4: former players, right, So that's a different you know, you're 254 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 4: you're you're talking about you know, guys that have been 255 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 4: in the game understand it. So yeah, it'll be interesting 256 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 4: to see, you know, how that relays onto the players 257 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 4: because you know, this is going to be a defense 258 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 4: that's bringing back some guys that obviously are really talented. 259 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 4: And saw us in Quinny, right. MC two didn't have 260 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 4: a great year last year. He was coming off an injury, 261 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 4: so now we get to see him really come back 262 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 4: and play well. So, uh, you know, I'm excited to see, 263 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 4: you know how this kind of shapes up. 264 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,599 Speaker 1: I think people are sleeping on the Jets defensively a 265 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: little bit because you just mentioned it. They do have 266 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: elite players at every level. If you're really talking about 267 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: you go to the secondary and you have the sauce Gardner. 268 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 1: Then you go up a couple levels and you have 269 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 1: that cornerstone piece a defensive tackle with Quinn Williams. Then 270 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: at the linebacker and NAT tandem was sure Wood. Quincy 271 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: Williams is dynamic. 272 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 2: Definitely, definitely. 273 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 4: I mean, listen, I think there's the question marks are understandable, 274 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 4: right especially coming off of last year, you know, so 275 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 4: it makes sense that people are like, you know, are 276 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 4: they going to be good this year? You know, you 277 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 4: still have another question mark DJ. You lose a guy 278 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 4: like that, you know, you hope that the guy on 279 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 4: the opposite side and Brandon Stevens can kind of pick 280 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 4: up that slack or even do even more. So, you know, 281 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 4: safety position was obviously a question mark Cisco. You know 282 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 4: last year wasn't his best year, but prior to that, 283 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 4: you know he was a great safety. So you know, 284 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 4: I say this all the time now that you know 285 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 4: Ag really wants his coaches to be able to coach right, 286 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 4: to be able to really get the most out of 287 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 4: his guys. 288 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: Let me read you some stats from last year. The 289 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: Jets were third and NFL yards per game three hundred 290 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: and thirteen point eight, seventeenth in rush yards per game 291 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: allowed one to twenty one point one, but sixth in 292 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: rush yards per play it's just a little over four 293 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: point zero. It's close to four point one. Interception rate 294 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: that's been a problem for a little bit around here, 295 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: twenty seventh in the National Football League one point three 296 00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: four percent. Where is sex per pass attempt They wanted 297 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: to get to the quarterback with seventh seventeenth in the 298 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: red zone, so about fifty eight point seventh three. Yeah, 299 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: So in Detroit, the emphasis for Aaron Glynnen was stop 300 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: the run and take the football way right. That's gonna 301 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: be the same deal. 302 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 2: Here, Oh absolutely, and you know it'll be. 303 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 4: I think if they can make Bandon Stevens and Saws 304 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 4: Gardener two guys that take the football away, I mean 305 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 4: that's going to change the course of all the season, 306 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 4: right because a guy like Bandon Steeds, I think he would, 307 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 4: to be honest with you, in my opinion, he was 308 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 4: in a lot of plays. He just wasn't always able 309 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 4: to track the ball. And I heard Steve Wilks also 310 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 4: say this himself that you know, one thing they want 311 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 4: to work on with him is trying to find the 312 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 4: ball a little bit better, you know, figuring out how 313 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 4: to play the game like a receiver, you know, So 314 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 4: it'll be good for them to get him on that track. 315 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 4: And then saw us as a guy that we've been 316 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 4: wanting him to get picked, you know, since he got here. 317 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 4: So I think you're just kind of having a different 318 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 4: view that this year and having a guy like ag 319 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 4: just play the game's gonna be helpful, Andre Blig. 320 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: The Jets had seven interceptions last season that was tied 321 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: for twenty six. I mean they got to get the 322 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: ball more. Yeah, and five of those picks were from 323 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: guys who are no longer on the russ Right, you 324 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: just mentioned Stevens being around the ball. The Gardner dynamic 325 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: is very interesting because a lot of teams opposing quarterbacks 326 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: are like, oh, Gardner's over there, I'm staying away from him. 327 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: So how does he get more picks? How do the 328 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: Jets schematically put him in a position where he'll had 329 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: more opportunities to make plays in the ball. 330 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 4: Well, So be honest with you, I think that there 331 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 4: might be a little bit of a shift this year. 332 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 4: I think that teams I don't think teams believe that 333 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 4: they can beat Sauce, right, But I still think that 334 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 4: there's going to be a little bit more challenging him, 335 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 4: right You think about like Tennessee last year, they challenged him. 336 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 4: There were a couple other teams that challenged him. You 337 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 4: got to have a quarterback that's confident in himself or 338 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 4: just kind of silly, you know, makes it, you know, 339 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 4: desions that you don't really agree with. But you know, 340 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 4: I think it's going to be up to the teams 341 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 4: to say, listen, my receiver might not be able to 342 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 4: get open, but can he catch the ball on Sauce 343 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 4: Because right now, Sauce doesn't show that he's going to 344 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 4: get the turnover, and so maybe I'll take the incompletion right, 345 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 4: or I'll take the jump ball and give my guy 346 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 4: an opportunity. So I think this year he might have more, 347 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,239 Speaker 4: you know, more times where teams will throw at him. 348 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 4: You know, especially if for playing some receivers that you know, 349 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 4: these teams have confidence. 350 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 1: What do you see from him in terms of how 351 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: can he how can he come down with it? 352 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 4: It's tough, you know. I think he's usually in position 353 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 4: and I think a lot of times he doesn't take, Well, 354 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 4: he doesn't get a lot of opportunities. Let's start the Yeah, 355 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 4: that's right, he doesn't get a lot of opportunities. But 356 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,360 Speaker 4: then the other part of it is, you know, when 357 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 4: he does get those opportunities, he's not always in the 358 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 4: right position, and so then that makes it also kind 359 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 4: of challenging. So you know, I think as a as 360 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 4: a cornerback, you're on an island, right, and so you 361 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 4: have to keep yourself in the game as much as possible. 362 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 4: And there was some decisions that were made, whether it 363 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 4: was his fault or safety fault, that kind of made 364 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 4: it where he couldn't get those interceptions. 365 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: I like the Cisco dynamic, and I wrote about this 366 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: the other day that him and Sauce really big. Now 367 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: Cisco is playing the ballhawking safety spot. But I think 368 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: having him on one side is going to allow Cisco 369 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: to be what he is, a natural ballhawk and take 370 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: some chances on it. 371 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, definitely. 372 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 4: You know, when you have that confidence on the other side, 373 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 4: I think any safety is going to tell you like, Okay, 374 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 4: I don't have to look at this side. I remember 375 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 4: who was that play safety before. But they were speaking 376 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 4: on revis and how you know, I don't really have 377 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 4: to pay attention to that side as much, right I 378 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 4: can kind of I can be rangy on this side, 379 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 4: you know, and it allows me to make plays when 380 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:33,239 Speaker 4: I need to. 381 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: What do you make of the other safety spot? You 382 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: have Tony Adams, Isaiah Oliver is the kind of guy 383 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: who can do it all right. He can play nickel four, 384 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: he can play safety. Then you have Melchi Moore, a 385 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: player the Jets are very high on. And I asked 386 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: Cisco about him. He said, I really like his game. 387 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, it's gonna be a good challenge. And I 388 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 4: think you know, Tony Adams coming back. You know, he's 389 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 4: the guy right now, right, so he's got it. He's 390 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 4: got the target on his back, right He's the guy 391 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 4: that's got the the the most experienced right now in 392 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 4: terms of you know, this is my team. So you know, 393 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 4: it's gonna be interesting to see who the team likes, 394 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 4: you know, because ultimately, sometimes it's scheme fit. It's not 395 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 4: always like are you the better players? Do you fit 396 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 4: this scheme the best? 397 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 2: Yeah? 398 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: And the Jets definitely think that Malchi more fits that 399 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: scheme because they traded up in order to get him. 400 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 1: You at Aaron glenns Hawk in the branch about him, 401 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: and he said, he's the dog. This guy can do 402 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: it all. You know, he brings it from a cerebral perspective. 403 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: He's also a physical dude who's not afraid. Yeah, that's right. 404 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: So we were talking before we started the pop what's 405 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: it gonna look like in the defensive interior next. 406 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 2: To Quinn Williams. 407 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: Because you sign in free agency Derek Noddy, who most 408 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: recently played with the Chiefs, Byron Coward, who not only 409 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: played with the Bears last year, but the Bears defensive 410 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: coordinator down in the season was Eric Washington. Eric Washington 411 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: is the Jets defensive line coach. You got Mathis You 412 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: picked him up on waivers. He's a monster of a guy. 413 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,719 Speaker 1: The previous regime picked him up last summer. Leonard Taylor 414 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: still here. You also signed Jay to fully in free agency. 415 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's I think that's one position where 416 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 4: I didn't I wasn't sure whether or not they was 417 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 4: going to try to draft somebody. 418 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 2: So, you know, I think. 419 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: Everybody was wondering that because the depth of class. 420 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. You know, you had a lot of a 421 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 4: lot of great talent, in the draft. So you know, 422 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 4: I think that they if they decided not to pick 423 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 4: anybody up, then I think you have to assume that 424 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 4: they feel really confident about these guys. And this is 425 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 4: a position that's you know, one of the most important, 426 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 4: like the offensive line of the opposite side. Right, they 427 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 4: got to get the pressure right, They got to make 428 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 4: it where it's really challenging. So then the corners can 429 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 4: play free, you know, when they know that, you know, 430 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 4: there's getting a lot of pressure from their interior and 431 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 4: the outside. You know, now I can play with a 432 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 4: little bit more leniency. 433 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: I wonder if Coward is a slight favorite going at 434 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: But again, you're gonna split reps up. You're gonna be 435 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: rotating guys. It's not like any of these guys, even 436 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: if they won the job, it's gonna be playing seventy snaps. 437 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I think there is an understanding that if 438 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 4: a coach brings a guy that he's going to like 439 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 4: him a little bit more. But what I will say though, 440 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 4: is that a lot of times some guys fall into 441 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 4: that trap and think, well, you know another coach and 442 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 4: I got a personal response, a personal relationship with him, 443 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 4: like you know, it's. 444 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 2: Set for me. 445 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 4: So you know, as a player, you gotta be careful 446 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 4: thinking that way. And you know, as a young guy, 447 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 4: if you see that, you know you just got You 448 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 4: just gotta play hard and you know, find your time. 449 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: What do you make of Will McDonald's who played about 450 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: two thirty five to thirty six last year, putting on 451 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: fifteen pounds of muscle in all season. 452 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 2: No, that's deep. 453 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 4: I mean I think for him, I'm looking forward to 454 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 4: see how he improves on last year, right, Like it 455 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 4: was exciting to see Jermaine Johnson make the step and 456 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 4: it was even more exciting to see Will McDonald because 457 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 4: I think he was doubted even more, especially on his side, 458 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 4: so to come out and get those sacks like he did. 459 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 4: You know, I can't wait to see what he does 460 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 4: with more weight on him right in a new defense. Uh, 461 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 4: you know, so that's gonna be him and Jermaine Johnson together, 462 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 4: you know, giving that Jermaine comes back healthy, it's gonna 463 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 4: be exciting. 464 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: Ten and a half sacks last year. What are you 465 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: making the number change for Will? Going to number nine? 466 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: You like that? 467 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 4: I mean, sometimes you gotta go back to your roots, 468 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 4: you know. Yeah, you gotta go back to your roots 469 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 4: and maybe that'll kind of bring The game is mental. 470 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 4: A lot of it is mental. So if you can 471 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 4: kind of put yourself back in that mind space where 472 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 4: you were the most confident, you know, there's a reason 473 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 4: why you were drafted at the position you were, and 474 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 4: maybe it'll really take you to another level. 475 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: And Will's gonna help or my member going to another 476 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: level and we're gonna be able to watch that throughout 477 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: training camp. Those guys with the pads on going toe 478 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: to toe. You mentioned Jermaine before coming off to Achilles. 479 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: That was a devastating injury for the defense that happened 480 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: in week two last year. His mindset is unbelievable and 481 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: he provides an element of a nastiness and he plays 482 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: the game so passionately, and he's got a pretty unique 483 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 1: skill set, as AG said, because he's athletic, but he 484 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: also can you know, set that edge and he's a 485 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: big dude. What do you think about him during camp 486 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: because AG has been clear about that, Hey, he might 487 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: start camp on the pup list, but he'll be ready 488 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: in week one and he'll be teeing off trying to 489 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 1: get Aaron Rodgers. 490 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, we've seen now in the over the 491 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 4: past few years a couple of guys on this team 492 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 4: with the Achilles obviously, you know Aaron Rodgers. 493 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 2: And you have a v T as well. 494 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 4: So av T was able to come back and play right, 495 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 4: and so you know, those young guys have a better 496 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 4: opportunity to bounce back. You know, I think av T 497 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 4: was a little bit more protected being in an interior guy, 498 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 4: whereas you know a guy like Jamain Johnson, he's more 499 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 4: out in the edge. You know, there's no real protection 500 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 4: so to say. But you know, I think it'll be 501 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 4: up to him. It sounds like he's working hard, right 502 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,479 Speaker 4: The guy's documenting his recovery process, you know, and so 503 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 4: whether it's pupp or right on active, as soon as 504 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 4: he gets back, you know, I think he's going to 505 00:23:58,640 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 4: be hungry. 506 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: Rashad Weaver he played pretty well this spring. I mean 507 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: he was popping again. No pads out there, and the 508 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: quarterbacks are protected. He had five and a half sacks 509 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: with the Titans back in twenty twenty two, so we're 510 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: not far removed from that. And the Jets also drafted 511 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: Tyler Barron out of Miami late so we'll have to 512 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: see what he can do in camp. Getting back to 513 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: the cornerback position. When you talked about Stevens Michael Carter, 514 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: what about a Z Thomas. Yeah, the physicality he brings 515 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: to the table and also the size, because this has 516 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: been an emphasis here for these guys like ag played 517 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 1: at five nine said Hey, I want my cornerbacks big, right. 518 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I mean I think that's I like that pick. 519 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 4: You know, when I watch his film, he's a real 520 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 4: physical guy. Re a lanky guy, right, a guy that 521 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 4: will keep you right in front of you, and that 522 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 4: disrupts timing right, Like a lot of times we always 523 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 4: make fun of dbs whenever they you know, it's an incompletion, 524 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 4: the balls thrown way out of the way and they 525 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 4: do this like as if they made a big play. 526 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 4: But ultimately the offensive side, it's all about timing. So 527 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 4: if you can disrupt that timing, you can really disrupt 528 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 4: the whole play, you know, So you're going to have 529 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 4: those opportunities to celebrate. And so if he can do that, 530 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 4: and I think that's what they're looking for him to do. 531 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 4: I remember on his phone call the draft, they told 532 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 4: him to be nasty or something like that, you know, 533 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 4: really be, So, yeah, that's what they want him to be. 534 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: And then a couple other guys who are going to 535 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: try to make in roads here JBC Jerk, Bernard Converse, 536 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: who I thought had a good camp last year, and 537 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: then Quantest Stake mays we should not forget about him 538 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: as well. 539 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a guy that can also play special teams. 540 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 4: He did a little bit of it last year. But yeah, 541 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 4: another physical corner. So that's where they're going. That's the 542 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,239 Speaker 4: type of guy that they're looking for. So you know, 543 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 4: it'll be good to kind of watch that battle all right. 544 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: Before we get to Steve Wilkes, what about the marrying 545 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: of philosophies. You mentioned it before, got Aaron Glenn who 546 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: might have operated or called it a little bit differently 547 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,360 Speaker 1: than Wilkes. What do you think when you put their 548 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 1: heads together and what we're ultimately going to see. 549 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we're gonn to see a good marriage 550 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 4: of the two defenses, right, and I think there's gonna 551 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 4: be a lot of similarities, right, and so for the 552 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 4: terminology would be the toughest thing, you know, coming from 553 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 4: one defense and now this's a new one. But I 554 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 4: think it's going to still be aggressive. You know, I 555 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 4: think they're still going to find ways to make plays 556 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 4: and find ways to make it cohesive. 557 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, and again stopping to run, taking the football away, 558 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: and these are two things that you go back. Wilkes 559 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: has had tremendous success getting to the quarterback and we 560 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: saw that from Detroit as far as their rise is concerned. 561 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: Obviously to draft Hutchinson and that changed the dynamic, but 562 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: ag stayed true to what he wanted even with the injury. Yes, 563 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. Like last year, it was impressive 564 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 1: what Aaron did last year in Detroit. So I ultimately 565 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: think defensively could be very much the Jets could be 566 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: very much help by what's gonna happen on offense, because 567 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: I think an ideal, an ideal situation, the Jets are 568 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: holding onto the ball because they're grinding on teams with 569 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: the run game, they're pounding the rock. That means time 570 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: of possession. That means the guys are not on the 571 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: field as much. Because you're going from a philosophy offensively 572 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: to hey, we're gonna throw the ball a lot to 573 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: more balance, and when you have more balance, I think 574 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 1: ultimately is gonna help the guys on the other side 575 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: the ball. 576 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, balance is the key word there because last year 577 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 4: there wasn't a lot of balance offense, defense or a 578 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 4: special team. So I think that's what they're looking for. 579 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: This here, game day and every day. Score a jewelry 580 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: touchdown with Kendrick Scott.

Shine Bright, do good with Kendraw Scott. 583 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: All right, it's time for my extra point. Aaron Glenn 584 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: and Steve Wilks are going to challenge this Jets defense, 585 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: which has pro bowlers at every level, to find another gear. 586 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: You know, the Jets will field a very fast unit 587 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: and that is something you can't coach. Glenn and Wilkes 588 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: are going to demand that they have a good tackling 589 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 1: group who takes the ball away. Elite defenses pillage, and 590 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 1: we're going to hear more about play style than playbook. 591 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: My defensive takeaway is the Jets are going to mass 592 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 1: more takeaways in twenty twenty five. So long until next time.
