00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: at all the names that got signed and watching closely

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: to what the Jets did throughout the three days, the

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: tampering period and then the signing period. And uh so

13
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm over here. Why I'm getting ready to go do

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: some shark driving this morning, e A. You know, I mean,

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: why wouldn't if you in Hawaii you get that opportunity.

16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: Have you dove with the sharks before? And can you

17
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: tell us what that experience is like? Well, I've done

18
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: with a lot of sharks before. You know, sharks and

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: Fiji and you know shark send the Sea Cortez and

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: sharks at Costa Rica. But this is like we're chumming

21
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: the waters. We're bringing the sharks to us. I'm not

22
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: going to look for you know, like nurse sharks are

23
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: like little puppies, you know, like you pet them and

24
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: you know, but I mean, we're bringing them. We're bringing

25
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: the big boys. You know. It's like signing a big

26
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: free agent. We're bringing the tire Sharks to us and

27
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,639
Speaker 1: the bull Sharks. We're bringing the big boys to us today. Okay,

28
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: so let's let's start right there with the big boys.

29
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: Let's start with like the Tomlinson, a duke product, much

30
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: like yourself. One of the Jets getting here is Joe

31
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: Douglas continues to back up his words and address his

32
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: offensive line. First two drafts, first round, he goes McKay

33
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: back to the Elijah Vera Tucker here in free agency,

34
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: uh this year, two thousand twenty two, lankin Tomlinson gets

35
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: it underway. Well, I think it was an unbelievable signing.

36
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: First of all, I thought Miami was gonna take him

37
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: because Mike McDaniel, the new head coach, knew him as

38
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: well as anybody in San Francisco, and they needed offensive

39
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: line help. I thought they were gonna scoop him up

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: right away. But you know the fact that John Benton,

41
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: the offensive line coach, knows him. Laken knows the terminology,

42
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: knows the system, knows the run game the way it's

43
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: supposed to be run, the way. He's done it for

44
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: five straight years in San Francisco. And when I say that,

45
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: e A, I'm seeing five straight years, like every Sunday,

46
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: every game, playoff games. I mean, he's got a heck

47
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: of a resume underneath them here since you know, while

48
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: he was in San Francisco. So he's a he's been

49
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 1: a durable player. He's been a good player. I think

50
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: he can help, you know, whatever guys that they end

51
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: up drafting on the offensive line, kind of helping to

52
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: develop them. But this is a smart guy, like you know,

53
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: he's gotta he's got a Duke degree like me. He's

54
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: got two degrees. Um, he's a smart guy. Uh loves football.

55
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: Still under thirty years old. You know, it's got a

56
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: lot of football left. I thought it was just tremendous

57
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: signing because really, when you look at Olive Vera Tucker

58
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: and you look get Lakey Thomlinson, you know inside at

59
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: the guard position, I mean, the the front of that

60
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: pocket is now has the beginnings to being really stable

61
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: for Zack Wilson, and I think that was really important. Yeah,

62
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: what do you think overall that line right now? You

63
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: mentioned a v T. Most people think that he's gonna

64
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: be either definitely a Pro Bowl player, perhaps an All Pro,

65
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: like a first team kind of All Pro player. The

66
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: Jets hope McKay back backed in his back in the

67
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: fold at full health this year. They love what they

68
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: got out of George pant Uh. Robert Sale has said, Hey,

69
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: there's gonna be open competition at that left tackle position,

70
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: kind of regoverned, performed well at the center position last year. Moriam,

71
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: Moses and Freancy signs with the Baltimore Ravens. A good

72
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: pick up for the Ravens. But with that being said, uh,

73
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: do you like what Douglas is doing across the line?

74
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: I do? I like it. The key really is McKay

75
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: because if McKay can come back healthy and in shape,

76
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: then they have they have, you know, a guy that

77
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: can be a dominant left hap And I think he's okay.

78
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: George Fan is gonna be He's gonna be just fine.

79
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: He's very athletic. You know, he runs the scheme really well, um,

80
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: you know, he's he doesn't have a lot of tread

81
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: off the tire, uh, you know, in his playing days.

82
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: So I think the line has a real chance uh

83
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: to be in a good line. And it takes a

84
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: while for a good line to become a great line.

85
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: You know, you can't just anoint them being great because

86
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: they signed good players, are drafts a good players. I

87
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: mean it's got to come together and they got to

88
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: play together and so that's you know, that's the next

89
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: big step. The off season is really important. But to me,

90
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: the whole key to this is McKay. Yeah, they can

91
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: fill his shoes, they can, you know, if things don't

92
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: work out, but he can make this a special offensive

93
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: line because of his ability. And it's really up to mcay.

94
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: Haven't seen him. Um, you know, I don't know what

95
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: kind of shape he's in. I don't know how many

96
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: people have been around him. But he needs to come back.

97
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: I can get his head on straight, you know, and

98
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: come back and become the player that his ability says

99
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: he can be. Tomlinson, Uh, what will you mean to

100
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: the locker room? Because he talked about his durability before.

101
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: How about his postseason experience too? When you're talking about

102
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: somebody came from San Francisco, he was where he was

103
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: there with those guys. He was there with Sala and

104
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: John Benton and Mike Lafleur when they took over two

105
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: thousand seventeen at the bottom and they ascended. They went

106
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. And last year you got Tomlinson

107
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: playing a Honessey Championship kit. Yeah. No, Look, there's there's

108
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: certain players that you know, they end up in the

109
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: postseason every year. We mean, quarterbacks can only be evaluating

110
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: the postseason. The regular season. Look, it's a grind in

111
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: seventeen games, it's eighteen weeks, it's you know, it's a grind.

112
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: But it's about getting to the postseason. And you know,

113
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: Laken came from Detroit where they really couldn't put it together.

114
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: You know, that's where you got drafted. Um San Francisco

115
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: signed him, and then all San Francisco did under Kyle

116
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: Shanahan and and uh, you know in that group there

117
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: was just improved the line to the point where you

118
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: go get Trent Williams, who is an All Pro left tackle,

119
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: you get Alex mac who you know has been an

120
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: All Pro center, and you just keep building. And that's

121
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: what they did in San Francisco. You know, you had

122
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: you had the tight ends to it and the fullback

123
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: and everything else, and all of a sudden you get

124
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: an elite running game in San Francisco. And that's where

125
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: everything everything kind of started. And that's what they've got

126
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: to do in New York. They've got to get the

127
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: running game cranked up where every week it's not on

128
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: a one time thing or sometime thing. E A Dy've

129
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: got you know, whether it's Michael Carter, Tevin Coleman, you know,

130
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,799
Speaker 1: whoever is carrying the rock, there's gonna be an every

131
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: week thing that they could put up a hundred hundred

132
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: fifty yards on the ground or more, you know, and

133
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: finished games out on the ground and get those short

134
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: yardage runs on third and one and punch it in

135
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: from the goal line. I mean, that's that's what they

136
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: have to be able to do. And lacoln knows about that.

137
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: He knows how important that is. And and you know,

138
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: when it comes time to run behind him, like they

139
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: trounced the Rams, you know, I think five straight times

140
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: before they lost to him in that, you know, in

141
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: the championship game. But you know, they they they own

142
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: the rams, Aaron Donald and Von Miller, that and some

143
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: of the guys that Leonard Floyd. They owned those guys

144
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: up front and the run game, and they broke their

145
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: will a bunch, you know, so he knows what that's

146
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: like going up against elite players, elite teams. And in

147
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: the postseason, Baldly, I asked Lincoln to the describe his

148
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: game and one word and you know what he said,

149
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: trench warfare. And I said that's two words and he said, no,

150
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: it's not. It's one run. Yeah, no, it's it's one word.

151
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: It's because I've used it a lot. And you know,

152
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: the good teams, Oh, you have to do the consistently

153
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: good teams in this league e A. You look at

154
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: them and you always look at the trenches and what

155
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: they've done. I mean two years ago with tempay One,

156
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: their five offensive lineman started except for the right guards,

157
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: started every game. Um, they were an elite bunch. The

158
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: right tackles an all Pro player. Uh, you know, you

159
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: go to and see what Kents City didn't get back

160
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: to the playoffs last year. They built their offensive line.

161
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's where you want to be a consistent

162
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: playoff team. You look to the trenches both sides of

163
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: the ball, and lakel knows about what trench warfare is

164
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: all about. I've done so many breakdowns on the San

165
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: Francisco offensive line and then the run game and how

166
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: when it's operating at a high level e A. It's

167
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: a symphony. It's a symphony with every instrument is just

168
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: in tune and playing together. And I you you've gotta

169
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: you gotta start with the fundamentals. That's where it always begins.

170
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: There's a toolbox. You gotta take every game with you,

171
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: and then once you get that, there's a question of

172
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,599
Speaker 1: fine tuning departs to play together. Wind bet is not

Speaker 1: zero seven one one seven. That's some sweet music right there, Baldi.

187
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: The Jets needed an upgrade at the tight end position

188
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: this offseason. Enter c j Uzama. They also added Tyler Conklin,

189
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: who had a career here last year in Minnesota. Let's

190
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: start with c J. Here's another guy, great postseason experience,

191
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: who's gonna be big in the room. How critical was

192
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: that addition for the entire offense, the way Michael Micha

193
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: la Fleur wants to run it, and especially the young

194
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: quarterback Zach Wilson, Well, you know they asked the tight

195
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: ends to be a you know, a big part of

196
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: the run game. You know, if you look at George

197
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: Kittle and what he has done in San Francisco and

198
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: he's he's kind of the measuring stick for blocking tight ends.

199
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: But you know, they were a big uh. Cincinnati has

200
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: been under Zach Taylor, a big eleven personnel team. So

201
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: one tight end, one running back, three wide receivers. But

202
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: you if you're gonna be the eleven personnel team. You're

203
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: tight end has to be able to block. Uh. And

204
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: he's because you got that was a strong side run game.

205
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: That means that you're tight end has to go up

206
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: against starting defensive ends and outside linebackers and be able

207
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: to get stalemates, hold his own and win some battles.

208
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: And I think CJ has been able to do that. Um.

209
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: You look at the success that they have had in

210
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: the in the run game in Cincinnati, especially last year. Um,

211
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: you know, he was a big part of that. And

212
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: when he got hurt against Kansas City and went out,

213
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: the run game really suffered. But c J is he

214
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: he's uh, you know, he's a great he's a great person.

215
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: He's a great guy. Like he he loves football. It

216
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: comes across when you talk to him. Uh. He had

217
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: a career year last year, a real breakout year when

218
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: he got a chance to really be the guy in Cincinnati.

219
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: He's still a young player. But you know, you go

220
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: back and you watch Thursday night football against Jacksonville last year,

221
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: he won the game for him. Um, you know, his

222
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: ability to get open, to to work the middle of

223
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: the field after the catch, like he's He's he's a

224
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: what we we call tight ends that can both block

225
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: and catch the ball. Why, you know, they're a y

226
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: in the offense. And he's a true why like he

227
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: because he can really block. He can be in the

228
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: end of the line tight end, not like some of

229
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: these flex tight ends that are out there calling themselves

230
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: tight ends that are just pass catchers. This guy is

231
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: a true why and so I thought it was a

232
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: great signing. I didn't think that they could probab him

233
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: away from Cincinnati as big a part as he is

234
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati that offense. Yeah, forty nine catches last year,

235
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: four nine three receiving yards, five touchdowns. I like what

236
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: he said when he met with the media, Baldi, They're

237
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: gonna get someone who's one of the best damn tight

238
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: ends in the league. He's got attitude, he is uh instantaneously,

239
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: he walks in that locker room, and he's one of

240
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: the primary leaders on this team. I think I agree

241
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: with that. You know, and you can say forty nine

242
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: catch as well, you know what, you know, Travis Kelsey

243
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: gets a hundred every year. That's not That's not that offense.

244
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got Jamar Chase and te Higgins and title.

245
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: They had guys that throw the ball too. I mean

246
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: he he was caught forty nine passes because they needed

247
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: those throws, you know, and you go back and you

248
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: watch some of them, uh, you know, they were important catches.

249
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: But he's a leader, he is, and he is a

250
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: good player, a really good player. And I think you know,

251
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: last year was the first year he really got a

252
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: chance to start and play. Um. You know, every week

253
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: they've had other guys in front of him, you know,

254
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: but you know, he took over this year and he's

255
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: an ascending player. I mean, I think he knows he

256
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: could get better. And if you look at him physically,

257
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: like he's he looks like a hy like he's big,

258
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: thick and strong. You know, he's got good size to him. Um,

259
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: And so I think he's got everything it takes to

260
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: be that guy that just lines up you know next

261
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: uh uh you know one of your tackles, you know,

262
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: every single Sunday, and you're gonna get a good performance

263
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: from him real quickly. On Conklin, you're talking about a

264
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: guy is not a speedster, but he's a good route

265
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: runner short intermediate range. He's an effort blocker, tough as hell.

266
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: That's the scouting report on him. One catches last year

267
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: for five yards and three touchdowns. So now you have

268
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: the ability to run multiple tight on sets. You do

269
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: have other Titans on this roster as well, but let's

270
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: not forget about con Glynn Eida. Well you can because

271
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, if you look at Minnesota, he a you know,

272
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: they had Kyle Rudolph there for a long time. Uh,

273
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, his first round pick you know, left and

274
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: free agency last year, um, you know to the New

275
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: York Giants, you know, and then they had drafted IRV

276
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: Smith at Alabama with the first round you know, to

277
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: be the tight end, uh that number two. When they

278
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: lost Kyle Rudolph, and then IRV Smith got hurt this

279
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: year and really it became Tyler Conklin's job, you know,

280
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: once Rudolph left in free agency and IRV Smith got hurt,

281
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: he became the starting tight end. And Minnesota's an eleven

282
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: personnel team like Cincinnati, and so you know, it was

283
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: a big big deal, you know for him to be

284
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: able to go out there run the drags on the

285
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: bootlegs and you know, the whole route tree that they

286
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: asked their tight ends to do. They're good offense, top

287
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: ten offense, and I thought Tyler Conklin really came into

288
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: his own. You know, it's amazing what happens to some

289
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: of these guys. C J is another example. But you know,

290
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: when they get a chance to play every down, start

291
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: every week, like you, you you find out what the these

292
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: guys are all about, what they're made of. And Tyler

293
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: Conklin is a good player. This isn't like a backup

294
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: tight end or I mean they if they want to

295
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: be a two tight end team and go why why

296
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: you know formations. They've got the flexibility to do that

297
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: right now, because you've gotta you have to really look

298
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: at both these guys as pass catchers. You know, sometimes

299
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: you get tight ends come in there and they're just

300
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: window dressing or they're just blockers. I mean, both these

301
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: guys are legitimate receivers. So the offense has a lot

302
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: more versatility and flexibility to it today than it did

303
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: a week ago. Well, let's flip into the defensive side

304
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: of the ball. You talked about what are you made

305
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: of Jordan's whitehead? Wow, I think Jets fans are gonna

306
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: love this guy. I think they're gonna run out to

307
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: the merchandise stores and get his jersey. Because when I

308
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: think about New York and I think about tough people,

309
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: this guy brings it. Played in the Super Ball with

310
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: the Torn Laborum and also Todd Bowles. He used them

311
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of everywhere down there with the Buccaneers. Well,

312
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, he's a thumper, you know, like when he

313
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: hits you, you go down. He doesn't miss tackles. He's

314
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: a good tackler. He's a thumper. But he also is

315
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: a playmaker. And you know he's a young guy. He's

316
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: just played four years now. Uh, Tampa Bay had drafted

317
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: very well in the secondary. Uh, they were all homegrown

318
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: players in Tampa and so you know he was one

319
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: of them along with you know, Jamal Deane and Carlton

320
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: Davis and you know Sean Murphy bonding and I mean

321
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: they were they enjoyed, you know, you know in in

322
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: Antoine Winfield, Um Anton Winfield was drafted last year and

323
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: he became the free safety. So Jordan's whitehead really got

324
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: a chance to play on a variety of places, whether

325
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: if they weren't covered too and he was sitting back

326
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: there have field safety, or if he was dropping down

327
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: into the box to stop the run, or he was

328
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: dropping down on Blitzer. Is that Todd had to go

329
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: cover the slot receiver or the tight end. He did

330
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: all those things, but then he made play. You know,

331
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: he popped the ball out against the Saints, you know,

332
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: in a playoff game, which was a big part. Devon

333
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 1: white recovered it, you know, and they shocked New Orleans, um,

334
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: you know, in the playoff game. And so I think that,

335
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: you know, he has the ability to do a lot

336
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: of different things. And you know, if you look at

337
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: the safety market, Marcus Williams went off the board. I

338
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: don't know, he got a contract twice the amount that

339
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: Jordan white Head did. You know, Marcus may got signed.

340
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: So there was like a rotation of safeties there always

341
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: are because they're hard to find in the draft, um,

342
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: just because the college game is so different. But they

343
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: got themselves a great player, great young player that's ascending

344
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: that you know when I say thumper, like you know,

345
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: he brings he packs a pretty good punch when he

346
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: hits you. Yeah, he can be a talent center back

347
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: there in that defensive backfield for the Jets. How about

348
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: let's stay in the defensive backfield. Dj read interesting history

349
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: in terms of coming out of high school. He did

350
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: not have any Division one offers, goes to Juco route,

351
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: eventually goes to Kansas State. The fifth round pick of

352
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: the forty Niners, Robert Salo was a defensive coordinator there.

353
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: Of course, he starts his career, plays a couple of seasons,

354
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: gets hurt, gets waived, He gets an opportunity in Seattle,

355
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,959
Speaker 1: and last season he was a Seahawks top cornerback. And

356
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: this is a guy. If you look at his numbers,

357
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: people will say, well, he's five ft nine, he can't

358
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: play outside. He played it really darn well last year.

359
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: Well what I like about this signing because people aren't

360
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: gonna be probably too excited about dj Read just because

361
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: you know he's not a household name. But I love

362
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: the fact that Robert Salo knows him and he knows

363
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: so he knows what he's about. You know, when you

364
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: know when they when they drafted him, you know he

365
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: helped in the recruiting process. He had him in his room.

366
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: You know, he knew what he could do. He went

367
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl with them. You know, like coaches

368
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: that you can connect the dots with, like you can

369
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: see you can almost hear Robert, you know, in in

370
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 1: that room with Joe Douglas and and a lot of

371
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: the scouts, you know, and Chris Johnson and and Woody

372
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: and just going, this is the guy that we need. Like,

373
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: you know, when when your head coach is going to

374
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: bat for you, that's saying something because he knows his

375
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: practice habits, he knows his work ethic, he knows what

376
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: he's been like he's played with them, Uh, coach with him,

377
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: coach against him, all that kind of stuff. I like

378
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: that aspect to this signing. Wind Bet is not live

00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,479

392
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: seven zero, so one one seven. Well, what he's about

393
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: this kid's attitude? He said, if you watch my tape

394
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: from last year and the year before that at CB one,

395
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: my stats compared to all pros this year, to Jalen Ramsey,

396
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: A J. Torell, J C. Jackson, my stats are right

397
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: there with those guys, and I'm gonna take another stuff

398
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: this year. Well, I mean, look, if you don't have

399
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: confidences defensive back, I mean you're not gonna be worth

400
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: very much. Um. There's plenty of cornerbacks his size in

401
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: the NFL that have been great players. I mean Stefan

402
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: Gilmore is not a big guy. Joe Hayden is not

403
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: a big guy. I mean tall guy. Um. If they

404
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,239
Speaker 1: come in all shapes and sizes, I mean, either you

405
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: can cover, you can't cover. Either you can play the

406
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: ball in the area you can't. By time you get

407
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: to your fifth year, which DJ is in his fifth

408
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: year now, and so he come up. You know, there's

409
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: plenty of guys in this league. J C. Jackson was

410
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: one that came into the back door. They weren't heavily recruited.

411
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: They you know, j C wasn't a draft pick um.

412
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: Some guys don't get invited to the combines. There's all

413
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: kinds of stories out there. It's about what's inside the guy.

414
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: And but DJ says his best football is in front

415
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: of him. I believe him. I believe that he could

416
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: play in this league. And I think Robert Salo knows it.

417
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: But you know, the important thing is you get a

418
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: guy that can play, and you bring him into the

419
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: room and you let these guys compete. You're gonna need

420
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 1: four corners throughout the course of the season. Four starting

421
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: level corners all right to compete, you know in a

422
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: passing league right now, especially when you go up against

423
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo twice a year and what that that monster can

424
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: do up there, and so you're gonna need four. Bryce

425
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: Hall has been a nice development for kids that was

426
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: injured in Virginia, you know, his last year and started

427
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: two straight years now tall corner looks like he is

428
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 1: a starting left corner for the Jets. Like, let's just

429
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: add some pieces, let's add some competition to that room.

430
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: What do you think about Brankston Barrows resigning. You know

431
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: a lot of people thought he's gonna test the market

432
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: and ultimately maybe he'll go away. I thought it was

433
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: interesting once he resigned, saying that, hey listen, I wasn't

434
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: gonna auction us off to the highest bidder. The Jets

435
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: were a great, great destination to me. I think that

436
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: speaks volumes of what is building here. I think the

437
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: same things I think Braxton Burrials could have gone. I

438
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: mean there's you know, there's a need for slot receivers,

439
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: kick returners, you know, all those kind of things. I mean,

440
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: he's a football player, and I think his best football

441
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: is in front of him. He hadn't really had a

442
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,239
Speaker 1: chance to really start, but you could see, you know,

443
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: the fly sweeps, the hit screens like he's got elite speed.

444
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: And you know, I like teams that are fast e

445
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: a you know, and so you measure your team speed

446
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: in a lot of different ways. But the return game

447
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,719
Speaker 1: is important, being able to catch you know, fly, you know,

448
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: take fly sweeps to the house. Um just add speed

449
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: to every position. And Braxton Burrios bring speed and toughness

450
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: to your football team. And so you know, sometimes you

451
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: have to engage your team. You you become a better

452
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: team in practice, you know, and good practicing players like

453
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: Braxon is a guy that has stayed healthy. I like

454
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: that element, and I thought it was a great resigning

455
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: to get practiced barriers back to the fold. You know,

456
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: you could you return game. It's it's not what it

457
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: used to be because of some of the rules now,

458
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: but it's nice to have a guy back there the

459
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: can ticket to the house. And it's nice that your

460
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: slot receiver, you know, has that type of ability. Now.

461
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: Obviously Elijah Moore's or you know, is probably their starting,

462
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: you know, slot receiver, but there's a lot of different

463
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: ways that you can use practice. The Jets also have

464
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: agreed to terms of running back Tevin Coleman, quarterback Joe Flackle,

465
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: returns LaMarcus Joiner, Will Parks, Nathan Shepherd, and reserve offensive

466
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: lineman Connor McDermott and Dan Feeney. I just want to

467
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: look ahead real quick quickly to the draft. I know

468
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: we got plenty of time to talk about the draft,

469
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: but after these signings, that's how does that impact your thinking, Baldy,

470
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: when you look at the Jets situation in terms of

471
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: four intent in the first round. Well, what it does

472
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: is it really fills your needs right now. I mean

473
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: you you you you basically have filled you know, eleven

474
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: slots on both sides of the ball. Now you can

475
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: go into the draft and really just look at your board.

476
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 1: You know, at number four, I mean you you have

477
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: your choice. You know, if you if Sauce Gardner is

478
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: a guy that you want at corner, I mean, if

479
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: you want one of these edge pass rushers, Cavon Thibodeaux.

480
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just throwing names out that people are

481
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: familiar with now after the combine. But you really have

482
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: your choice right now to really I mean if you

483
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: want to trade down, you know, and and gain more picks,

484
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: because this draft is really deep. I mean you've got

485
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: flexibility now, and you don't you not have to go, well,

486
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: we gotta fill that cornerback position. We better go get

487
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: that guy. I mean, you filled all your immediate needs

488
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: right now, and so now you can really look at okay,

489
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: but stacker board, and let's really be disciplined about it.

490
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: And you know, if somebody says, you know, we want

491
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 1: to come up to number four and go get so

492
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: and so, well you you have that ability to listen

493
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: and to see what the offer is. UM, if you

494
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: want to trade down or if you want to move

495
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: up to go get an elite player, whatever it might be. UM,

496
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: and those two picks at the top of the second

497
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: round or a big part of this UM. You know,

498
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: to me, this is what Joe like part of free

499
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: agency was like. Now we can really go after the

500
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: draft and get the best players available and truly believe

501
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: that and stick to it. Thirty foot View just initial

502
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: thoughts on Kyle Hamilton's impressive safety from Notre Dame. You

503
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: mentioned Sauce Gardner before. Uh, most likely the top cornerback

504
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: taking in this draft, and then the edge rushers at

505
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: the top of this class. I've been speaking to people

506
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: and there's some thought out there. You could see as

507
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: many as eight to ten defensive alignement taking in the

508
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: first round. Yeah, no, that's that's Uh. You know, I

509
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: did a lot at the combine and I was around

510
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,719
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah are draft expert at the NFL Network, and

511
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: you know those numbers aren't inflated. That's probably what it's

512
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: gonna be. And when you mentioned you know, Hamilton's is

513
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: the number one safety and you look at sauce Gardner.

514
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: There's really not a hole in souce Gardner's game, Like

515
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: he is what everybody's looking for at that position. And

516
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: so you canna have a you know, you might have

517
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 1: a chance at both those guys, uh, you know, and

518
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: then the edge guys, you know, Hutchinson and Thibodeau, and

519
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: you know, you just keep going, you know, karloftis I mean,

520
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: there's there's uh, you know, and then you look at

521
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 1: the interior guys, um, you know there you really have

522
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: a great number of players. It's the deepest part of

523
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: this draft. A lot of people tell you, you you know,

524
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: at this point in you know, mid March, that it's

525
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: the best edge class that we've seen come out probably

526
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: since two thousand eleven when von Miller and J. J.

527
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: Watt and some of those guys came out. So like,

528
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a deep talented group. Um and the

529
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: Jets are certainly gonna have uh their opportunities to go

530
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: after some of the players that we just mentioned. What's

531
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: your top pad line so far in the NFL free agency,

532
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 1: this is like a separate season. The NFL offseason has

533
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: become really something else in terms of the player movement,

534
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: big time changes throughout our leak. Well, you know, look

535
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: all you have to do, and you can do this

536
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: every year, but you know, look at what the Cincinnati

537
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: Bengals have done. Okay, in just two years. I mean

538
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: they have struck free agent gold all right, in addition

539
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: to drafting. You know, with the number one pick, they

540
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: were unfortunate to be able to have, you go, get

541
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and then to get Jamaar Chase. And you know,

542
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: in two years, you know, they've gone from three and

543
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: thirteen two, you know, minutes away from winning a Super

544
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: Bowl game. So everybody should look at that and go, Okay,

545
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: did the Raiders with Chandler Jones, Davante Adams make that

546
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: kind of a leap? You know, did the Buffalo Bill

547
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: signing Von Miller and some of the people that they signed,

548
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: you know, did they make the leap? Did uh? You know,

549
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers with J. C. Jackson and Clil

550
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: Mack make the leap? And I say make the leap,

551
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean make the leap all the way to the

552
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Sunday. And so I think there's a lot

553
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: of optimism. You know, when you see elite names the

554
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: guys that. You know, we talked about every Sunday in

555
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: the highlight reels do we do we look at uh my,

556
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: my buddies taking me shark fishing. Shark diving just popped in.

557
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: But anyways, like you, you can build your team and

558
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: change your fortunes in free agency, and we saw a

559
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: lot of teams that their fan base believes that that's

560
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: kind of what they've done here in the last week.

561
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: All right, the cars running, Why don't you tell Jets

562
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: fans who you're going shark fishing with today? Well, you know,

563
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just ironic that we're talking about the

564
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: Jets hall and I'm going with the former New York

565
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: Jets uh player Rich Miano, who only had seventeen career

566
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: in receptions, you know, and was a big member of

567
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: the New York Jets and the big nineties part of

568
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: some good staff. Pete Carroll was on his staff. You

569
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: know a lot of guys that were there, uh back

570
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: in the nineties. Of course, of course played with me

571
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: with Philadelphia Eagles on the number one defense in the NFL,

572
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: so he knows a little bit about defense. Well, brother,

573
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: you guys take it to the house out there in

574
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: the water. Today. You enriched meano. Thanks for getting up

00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: do it. A eight and joy being with you. Thanks,
