Dan Grassa and Greg Buttle 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: hanging out with you today. We, of course the pre 4 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: impost game hosts for the New York Jets on seven 5 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: esp and Radio and the Jets Radio Network. Greg, you 6 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,760 Speaker 1: and I haven't talked since the draft. How are you 7 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: well so far? The good news is is that I, 8 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: out of everyone I know, only one person I know 9 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: had COVID nineteen. Uh. Myself and my family are well, 10 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: as I know that your family is well, Dan, And 11 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: it's time to get out there and uh and start 12 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: start playing some sports, play some golf, do those things 13 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: that you get out in the sunlight and have a 14 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: few laughs, and it provides a great distraction, and I 15 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: think certainly there's benefits as well overall. I mean, you 16 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: heard Governor Cuomo this week talk about professional sports and 17 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: the need for that to get back in New York, 18 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: even though the Jets of course playing in New Jersey, 19 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: but they are still the New York Jets. They fit 20 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: as part of that theme here and this is clearly 21 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: something a period in our lives that none of us 22 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: will ever forget. For you know, as long as we're 23 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: on the planet. I think that's to be safe and 24 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: and don't don't forget in a in a little side 25 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: light of humor, all of those parents this summer that 26 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: aren't going to be able to send their little chillens 27 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: to camp. They got to be trapped at home with 28 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: the quality time with the family, right, That's what the 29 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: summer is basically going to have in store for everybody. 30 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: But what was in store for the Jets here at 31 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: least last month? Greg and the big story, of course 32 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: the NFL Draft. You and I did one of these 33 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: podcasts leading up to the draft. We speculated about which 34 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: direction the team was gonna go, and uh to say 35 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: that Joe Douglas was pretty active and certainly put a 36 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: lot of pieces in play here, not just for two 37 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: thousand twenty, but for the future in his first draft 38 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: as Jets GM that would be understanding it. Nine draft 39 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: choices in all for the Jets. They also made a 40 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: trade on Draft Jet Day and acquired cornerback Quincy Wilson 41 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: from the Indianapolis coach which will get to in a 42 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: little bit, but right at the top, you know, we 43 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: speculated beforehand which way were they gonna go with that 44 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: first round pick. Would it have been a wide receiver, 45 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: would one of those big four offensive tackles still be 46 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: on the board. Jets have their choice of two of 47 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: those four, and Joe Douglas and his staff opted to 48 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: go with the big guy, McKay Beckton Atta Louisville six seven, 49 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: three sixty four eleventh overall. And if you've watched film 50 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: on this guy, which I'm sure a lot of Jet 51 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: fans have certainly since he climbed the board here with 52 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: the draft, to say that he's impressive, Greg, I don't 53 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: think might be selling at all. He really looks the 54 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: part of a guy who can hold down that left 55 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: side and protect Sam Donald's blindside, hopefully for the next 56 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: decade or so. Well, I one of the things that 57 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: and again you and I discussed this previously in the podcast, 58 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: but you know me, I would if in my first 59 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: five choices would have been wide receiver. Right. You love 60 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: the but you love the explosive place, Yeah, I do. 61 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: I do because they catch touchdowns. No offensive tackle has 62 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: caught a touchdown in the last twenty years, and I 63 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: know of on purpose. But be that as it may. 64 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: The one thing that the Jets had in common with 65 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: the first five draft choices, from my perspective is they 66 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: are all athletes. Every single one of them are you know, 67 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: play basketball, track, They can do a lot of things. 68 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: They can jump, they can they can sure, they have speed, 69 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: they have quickly, have all of those things that you 70 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: need to be a good athlete. Therefore, that being said, 71 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: now you can really coach an athlete because athletes somehow 72 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: are able to transition and understand that there are a 73 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: lot of ways to play one position, and when you 74 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: get into the pros, you're gonna be you're gonna be 75 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: given an opportunity to do it your way, the best 76 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: way you could do it. And and those guys becked In, Mims, Davis, 77 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: and Zaniga, those are all really really good athletes. So 78 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: that's what really like about the first four guys they drafted. 79 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: I think you're absolutely right because if you listen to 80 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: Joe Douglas and the scouts talk about each one of 81 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: these selections after the draft was made, you know what 82 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: drew you to them? Why were they the guy for you? 83 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: What was the term that they mentioned? Really with all 84 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: these guys versatile, versatility, and like you just said, they're athletes. 85 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: They can do different things. You know, it gives the 86 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: coaching staff, whether it's Adam Gays on the offensive side, 87 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: Greg Williams on the defensive side, it allows their minds 88 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,679 Speaker 1: to be creative and put them in positions to make plays. 89 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: And you know, if we just keep it to Beckton 90 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: here for a second, you talk about athletes, Yeah, he 91 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: played basketball. He ran a five one at the Combine 92 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,559 Speaker 1: For a guy as big as he is, that's pretty 93 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: darn impressive. I loved Rex Hogan's quote about McKay buck 94 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: Beckton Gregg when he said he moves people like furniture, 95 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: and if you watch the tape, that holds true. He 96 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: was one of them what college hunks or something. Is 97 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: that what he is now? You know, you know what? 98 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: And another thing too that like like like beck then 99 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: reminds me of is that back in the day when 100 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: the Jets drafted Marvin Powell and we all made yours, right, 101 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: we all have to understand and Joe Douglas is not 102 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: going to be great on the draft. Yet they'll be 103 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: great in this draft in a year or two. It 104 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: depends on how many of those guys start, how many 105 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: stay healthy, and how well they play, how well they 106 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: can transition and and and that I'm just saying. But 107 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: I remember when they drafted Marvin Powell out of USC. 108 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: He came in and I will tell you something, I 109 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: don't think Marvin Powell lifted a weight when he was 110 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: in college. And and so my thing is is that 111 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: you had a guy, Marvin Powell that they drafted number 112 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: one as an offensive tackle and the jury was out 113 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: on him until he got on the field, and all 114 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: of a sudden, from day one, Danny day one, the 115 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: guy could play. And every player that is on a 116 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: football team a veteran, I'm talking about every player. That's 117 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: the that is the barometer, that is the post, that's 118 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: where you look at, can these kids play? Because you 119 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: don't care what position they're coming in. Can they play? 120 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: And I remember Marvin Paley came in and boy, he 121 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: could play right away. He made a difference. And you 122 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: take another guy, and this is this is why Joe 123 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: Douglas I think it's one of those general managers that 124 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: they use versatility now, but in the old days it 125 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: was called athleticism and and take guys that you can 126 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: look at and say, I think he can do this. 127 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: And by the way, if he can, I can put 128 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: him over here and do that. And that was Dan Alexander, 129 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: offensive guard for the Jets. Dan Alexander came in I 130 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: think his ninety seven. He was drafted out of L 131 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: s U as a defensive tackle. He was drafted knowing 132 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: that they wanted to make him an offensive tackle, no 133 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: offensive guard. He comes in there and and and I 134 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: will tell you in less than a year, the guy, 135 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: because of athletic ability, was able to transition from playing 136 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: defensive tackle at L s U to becoming a starting 137 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,239 Speaker 1: offensive guard in the NFL his first year and played 138 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: thirteen years at that position. Those are the type of 139 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: guys that I think Joe Douglas has drafted in this 140 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: draft looking forward. No one will know that for another 141 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: two or three years, but I believe that's what he 142 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: drafted in those first four guys. Well, I think the 143 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: Jets would be more than pleased if they get the 144 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: same type of production from their draft choices. If you 145 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: just want to keep it on the offensive line, think 146 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: about the home run they hit back in two thousand 147 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: six where you had to Britashaw, Ferguson and Nick Mangold 148 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: this first round draft choices. They held the fourth down 149 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: for about a decade and performed at an extremely high level, 150 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: and the Jets hoping that they get that same production 151 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: from these guys. Joe wasn't done though. With the offensive 152 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: LINEI pick Cameron Clark, a tackle out of Charlotte in 153 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: round number four. Another versatile player could play inside, could 154 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: play outside of an offensive line. And you know a 155 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: lot of these players too, aside from them being versatile 156 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: greg and having the athleticism, you know, Joe Douglas stressed character. 157 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: He hears you hear him talk about that a lot. 158 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: A lot of these guys were team captains. And I 159 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: don't think that that's any sort of coincidence because if 160 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: you show that leadership, even at the collegiate level, you 161 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: hope that that's eventually you're going to present itself and 162 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: hold true once you get to the NFL. And that's 163 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: also something that I think stood out with a lot 164 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: of these draft choices. Yeah, I like it, and and 165 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: and let's just back up a second, because you know 166 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: again and and I looking at this from from a 167 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: different speckled pair of glasses, Uh looks at something that 168 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: I say, Douglas, I believe the best part of what 169 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: he's done so far was his off season acquisitions of 170 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: the free agent market, especially along the offensive line. You know, 171 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: he goes out there and he gets George Fan, he 172 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: gets uh McGovern, he gets Van Rotten. I mean, you 173 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: could do a lot with this offensive line now, where 174 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: last year you looked at and go, what are they 175 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: gonna do with this line? Well, he's just he's transformed 176 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: the offensive line just like he said he would, right absolutely, 177 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: And I will tell you something, there's no reason to 178 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: think that this offensive line, outside of injuries, can't play 179 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: immediately and play pretty well. And the depth is there too, 180 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: because look, you're not gonna make it through a full season, 181 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: you know, playing each and every game, each and every snap. 182 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 1: Injuries do happen. It's a physical game. So if some 183 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: guy were to go down, you have those pieces in 184 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: place to be able to step right in and hopefully 185 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: not suffer any sort of drop off there. I know 186 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: you love the wide receivers. You mentioned them earlier. Second 187 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: round Joe Douglas and the Jets they had draft the 188 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: wide receiver position, or they addressed the wide receiver position 189 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: and take Denzel Mims out of Bailor and actually traded 190 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: back in round number two to get him. They were 191 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: sitting at they dropped down the fifty nine and still 192 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: got themselves a playmaker. And Denzel Mims six three two 193 00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: oh seven. He's big, he's physical, little bit raw, but 194 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: I'll tell you he's a guy greg that at the 195 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl down in Mobile and at the combine. This 196 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,599 Speaker 1: is a guy who really opened some eyes. And the 197 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: Jets hope that the ceiling is extremely high for this 198 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: one because he's going to be expected early on to 199 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: step in and be a contributor on this offense. Well, 200 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: I think one of the best things is that because 201 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: they traded down, did they not get pick in the 202 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: third round? Correct? Right? So they were able to pick 203 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: up two round two guys in the third round. But 204 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: Denzel Mims to me is and the one thing I 205 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: look at you, you you know what I look at. 206 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: I like feet, I like quickness, and I like hands. 207 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: If you're a wide receiver and you're you've got quickness 208 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: off the ball so that you can't be jammed all 209 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: the time, and you've got good feet so that you 210 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: the corners have to be pushed down on a break 211 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: and you catch the ball in your hands every single time. 212 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: That to me is a guy I don't care if 213 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: he runs a four one forty or a four sixty. 214 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: Those guys can get open and those guys can catch 215 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: a ball, shall I say, Wayne Cubet, I'm sure, I'm 216 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: just saying, but this kid has some speed, and he 217 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: has his hands, and he's got a chip on his 218 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: shoulder from everything that I read. So I love it 219 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: when you we can get a guy like that, it 220 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: really wants to jump in and work and doesn't doesn't 221 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: look around like he's intimidated by anything. Yet he's still 222 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: is humble enough to understand that he has to work hard. 223 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 1: And he comes from the Big Twelve, where, let's be honest, 224 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: you know, the Big Twelve Conference is not necessarily known 225 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: for defense, right, It's a track meet. You know, you 226 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 1: see points flying up on that scoreboard constantly. But at 227 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl, you know, he proved that he could 228 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: beat press coverage when things got physical, when the corners 229 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: locked in and whatnot. He proved that he can win 230 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: that battle at the line of scrimmage, which you want 231 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: to have wide receivers do. And as we said, a 232 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: lot is going to be expected from Denzel MIM's early 233 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: on you mentioned the sixty overall pick Ashton Davis, a 234 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: safety out of cow in the third round, the first 235 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 1: their third round selections. A lot of people will tell 236 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: you the Jets got to steal finding Ashton Davis in 237 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: the third round, Greg because he didn't really take part 238 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: at the combine as far as the running because he 239 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: had a groin injury that he was still working his 240 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: way back from on the field. But Ashton Davis fits 241 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: the profile of a Swiss Army knife. He returns kicks, 242 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: you play him at safety, you play him at corner, 243 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: you could even blitz him off the edge. The guy 244 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: does everything on the field. Another high character player. And 245 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: I think that Greg Williams is licking his chops about 246 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: the different ways he could be used on his defense. 247 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: Well certainly because uh, when you when you take a 248 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: look at the way they've used their safeties after the 249 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: second or third or fourth game, and that is that 250 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: is blitz and safeties. I mean, uh Jamal Adams, I mean, 251 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: how many sacks did he have? And sure tackles behind 252 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, and a lot of them were 253 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: uh maybe he came clean, but there were a couple 254 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: where he was hit and then he still made to 255 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: play uh coming around the blocker. But you know that 256 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: if you can have that, and you just saying you 257 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: could play man under so much when you have athletes 258 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: like that in the secondary, and I can see Ashton 259 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 1: Davis playing deep deep center and and also having Adamos 260 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: Blitz and maybe even Marcus May. I mean, now, today 261 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: it's all about situation substitution, and there's a lot of 262 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 1: times where you need to have these big guys playing 263 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: some of these tight ends. And right now you've got 264 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: you've got a safety that they are all six one 265 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: or two hundred pounds. You know, give me a year, 266 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: you might be to ten to twenty and fast and athletic. 267 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: You've gotta love those guys absolutely. Next two picks, Jets 268 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: decided to go down to Gainesville in the swamp and 269 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: pluck the University of Florida. They take Jabari Zuniga defensive 270 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: end in the third round, greg and then in the 271 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,599 Speaker 1: fourth round they flip it over the offensive side of 272 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: the ball and get Lea Michael p rhyn are running 273 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: back from the Gators. We'll start with Zuniga here. Look, 274 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: Jets have been looking for an edge. You you're here 275 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: for a while. Zunique is going to get an opportunity here. 276 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: He only played six games last year because of an 277 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: ankle injury. Maybe would have gone a little bit higher 278 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: in the draft if he had left after the year 279 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: the previous season where he was a little bit more productive. 280 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: But either way, he said in a conference call with 281 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: the media that he feels the Jets got to steal 282 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: the draft and the Jets are hoping that they can 283 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: get that production. Well, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna 284 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: say they didn't get the steal of the draft. But 285 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: if you don't believe that as a player, no matter 286 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: what position you're drafted in and what what what round 287 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: and what number, then there's something wrong with you. That's 288 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: number one. But this kid at six, he's got an 289 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: ability to the edge. He's fast. You know, there's a 290 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: lot of things that you can talk about these guys, 291 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: and for instance, if he's playing injured, which I believe 292 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: he was playing injured for the last two years of 293 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: his career in college, that they have all of these 294 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: things that they break them down, they go like four instants. 295 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: One of the UH critic critiques on him was it 296 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: gets driven off the spot by power now I'm going 297 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: to tell you something that is the most innocuous look 298 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: at a player, because that's not how you're gonna play 299 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: it in the NFL. You're not the number one thing 300 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: he's he will, he should not do. If I'm coaching 301 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: this kid is touch anybody unless he's gonna he's rushing 302 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: the passer, then you've got to get your hands on 303 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: those offensive lineman first. But if it's not, you're sliding here, 304 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: you're sliding there. You're running here, you're running there. Last 305 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: thing you're doing other than on goal line is jam 306 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: and a whole up the Michael p. Ryan, the running 307 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: back from the University of Florida. He's another guy who 308 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: was a team captain. It's a physical runner, can run 309 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: between the tackles, can also catch it out of the backfield, 310 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: which is almost something that's a necessity now for the 311 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: running back position. He's gonna have a chance to come 312 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: in and learn this year, not just from Levy on Bell, 313 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: but we should also mention Fry Gore was also signed 314 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: by the Jets after the draft. Frank Gore certainly doesn't 315 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: lack experience win all that. Greg. I think he was 316 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: in your draft class as a matter of fact, sixteen 317 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: years in the National Football League, he's proven to be durable. 318 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: Adam Gates knows him from his time with the Miami Dolphins. 319 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: So if you're the Michael p Ryan coming into the NFL, 320 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: those are not bad. Two guys to learn from in 321 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: Levi on Bell and Frank Gore. Well, let me just 322 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: say it, in my words, that's about the right position 323 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: to draft the running back as far as I'm concerned. 324 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: A guy that gets drafted down low that there's not 325 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: much expected of this kid. He can come in there, 326 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: he can learn a little, and you don't have to 327 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: overpay a running back to do anything, because you know, 328 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: I think they're all overestimated of what they're they're they're 329 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: worth is to a football team. But they are very, 330 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: very useful when you have a system that enables the 331 00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: quarterback to use everything on there as as uh As 332 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: Brady did in New England. It gave them a horizontal 333 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 1: passing game it was almost impossible to stop. Instead of vertical. 334 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: Kansas City is more vertical. And what happens is is, 335 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 1: uh Mahomes is able to buy time by running out 336 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: of the pocket. But if you have a drop back quarterback. 337 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: You need to have all of this horizontal stuff going 338 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: on and one or two guys vertical, and I think 339 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: this kid can fit that that that drill. I don't 340 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: know how tough he's gonna be. I don't know if 341 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 1: he's gonna fumble the ball. I don't know any of 342 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: those things until you see him play in the NFL. 343 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 1: But you do know two things. You know what you 344 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: got with Levy on Bell, and you know what you 345 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 1: got with Frank Gore. So you can figure out what 346 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: you have with this kid over the next year or 347 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: two and throw him on special teams and let them 348 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: learn how to play in the NFL, no doubt. This 349 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: is again the New York Jets podcast powered by Amazon 350 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: Web Services. Dan Gross and Greg Buttle hanging out with 351 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: you here today. Three picks that we haven't touched on. 352 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: James Morgan, the quarterback from f i U, goes in 353 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: the fourth round. Jets have not won a football game 354 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: that Sam Donald has not played in over the last 355 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: two years. Greg, they're oh and six when number fourteen 356 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 1: has been sidelined. They also took Bryce Hall, a cornerback 357 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: out of Virginia, in the fifth round who suffered a 358 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: nasty ankle injury which limited his season last year, but 359 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: another guy with a lot of upside and might have 360 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: been an earlier draft choice if not for the injury. 361 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: And then they decided to go the special team's route 362 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: with that sixth round pick, Greg braden Man, who was 363 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: generally considered the best putter in college. They get him 364 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: out of Texas A and M. He's also a kickoff specialist, 365 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: so Man, Bryce Hall, and James Morgan the last three 366 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: of Joe Douglas's first draft class. I I don't have 367 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: much to say about anything other than, um, you you 368 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: would expect that a punter in this league has to 369 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 1: have a hang time of four point six seconds or 370 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: more to be to be thought of as a an 371 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: all pro, big time punter. And it doesn't matter if 372 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: he if his average is uh forty six yards a punt, 373 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: but it's the hang time that matters. And if you 374 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 1: can get that ball up there and hang it, man, 375 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: that is that's field changing. And I think that's a 376 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: big reason why they got the kid. So overall, that 377 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: is the Jet draft class. We also mentioned. They do 378 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: make the trade with the Colts, bringing in Quincy Wilson, 379 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: a corner who Rex Hogan, the assistant GM knows from 380 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: his time in Indianapolis, has starting experience, so just another 381 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: guy to add some depth to that secondary. Now we 382 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: know pretty much the roster makeup. Now we can't wait 383 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: to see them on the field. And the NFL schedule 384 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: was released greg and for the second year in a row, 385 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: and for the third time in the last four years, 386 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: the Week one opponent is going to be the Buffalo Bills. 387 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: This time it's going to be up in Orchard Park. 388 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: So tackling a division fold right out of the gates. 389 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: It gives you a little bit of a gauge just 390 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: to where you are. I kind of like it, well, 391 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's alway is it's always neat because 392 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: you don't have to have that much preparation for a 393 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: team that you've played twice a year. But certainly it's 394 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: it's a it's at division rival. You can't lose those games. 395 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: The one thing that I look at in the Jets 396 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: schedule is that, uh, week four is their Thursday Night 397 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: football and Week nine is their Monday Night Football. But 398 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: after those two things, they're there. They're not on national TV, 399 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: but they do have a lot of four o'clock games 400 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: because of their travel stuff. Yeah, last year we really 401 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: didn't have many four o'clock games, and now this season 402 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: we're gonna get probably at least five of them because 403 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: that game against the Rams, which is either going to 404 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: be a Saturday or a Sunday late in the season. 405 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: You know, if the game is in l A, it's 406 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: not gonna be any earlier than four o'clock Eastern times. 407 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, there's gonna be that late afternoon window where 408 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: the Jets are gonna be kicking off this year. If 409 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: you are a big believer in strength of schedule, which 410 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: to me leaves a lot to be desired, but we'll 411 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: throw it out there just for the sake of being 412 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: certainly only compassing. Jets have the second toughest schedule in 413 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: the NFL according to winning percentage. The winning percentage is 414 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: from last year. But again, we look at the schedule 415 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: now and a game that might look daunting when the 416 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: date arrives might not look too difficult because that team 417 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 1: might be having a down year. And it works the 418 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: other way. A game that you might think is a 419 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 1: layup turns out to be a difficult game because that 420 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: team could be having a good season. But Jets certainly 421 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: are going to be challenged here based on some of 422 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: the opponents. They're gonna play both teams that were in 423 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl last year. Greg, Yeah, you know, and 424 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: and and again the everything is everything is different this year. 425 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 1: Not not that those teams aren't good football teams, because 426 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: certainly the Rams were in the Super Bowl the year before, 427 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: but and the and the Patriots. Are they going to 428 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: be the same Patriots as before? I don't know. But 429 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: when you come down to the schedule, I think one 430 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 1: of the big things is, again, let's just assume that 431 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: the Jets do stay healthy, and let's just assume that 432 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: the a f C East is competitive between all four teams. 433 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: So what does it all come down to the last 434 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: four games of the season, And the last four games 435 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: of this season, the Jets are on the road three 436 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: out of four times. That's not easy that late in 437 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: the season. It's not easy to do that, especially you're 438 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:23,959 Speaker 1: in Seattle, You're you're at the Rams, your home against Cleveland, 439 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: and you're at New England the last game of the year. 440 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,719 Speaker 1: So to me, those December those December games are going 441 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: to be very very tough. Yeah, it seems like Cleveland's 442 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: become a division opponent. It seems to play them each 443 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: and every year. Now, it's crazy the way that's kind 444 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: of worked out. But you mentioned the back to back 445 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: games at Seattle at the Rams Jets on and all 446 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,719 Speaker 1: likelihoods stay out on the West coast, you know, in 447 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 1: between they kind of asked the NFL if that could 448 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: be the case because of all these West coast trips. 449 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: Remember they go play the Chargers earlier in the season 450 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: two out on the left coast, so they're gonna be uh, 451 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: certainly very familiar with that part of the country here. 452 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: And you know, how about what was kind of odd 453 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 1: back to back games against the Miami Dolphins weeks ten 454 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: and twelve with the bye week sandwich between there and 455 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: week eleven, so back to back games against the Fish, Yeah, 456 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: it's it's uh, it's it's kind of weird. I think 457 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: it happened during my career one time. But if you 458 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: know those type of things where you you sit around 459 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: there and you know you could get your your your 460 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: rear ends waxed one week and then in two weeks 461 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: to come back and you you beat them, So it's 462 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 1: a really weird thing. It doesn't mean anything other than preparation. 463 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: And so now they're they're atting there there at the 464 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: Dolphins on November and then they don't they come home 465 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: on the twenty nine. So there they got a two 466 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,360 Speaker 1: week by to either lick their wounds or improve of 467 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: what they did in the first game, And certainly absolutely 468 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: coach yourselves to say, Okay, what did we do to 469 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: Miami that we beat them? And what can we coach 470 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: in introspection to say, we're not going to play the 471 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: same game we did because if we do, we're we're 472 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 1: gonna be We're gonna be mincemeat. How do you change? 473 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: Unless you're a football team that is a super Bowl 474 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: caliber team, you know what you're getting. But that's the 475 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: that's the thing to me in those two weeks, because 476 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: both teams aren't super Bowl caliber teams coming off of 477 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: last year's schedule or last year's competition, what is it 478 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: going to be in week fourteen? Are are I'm sorry, 479 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: week ten to week twelve? Are the Jets going to 480 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: be at the top of their division? Are they gonna 481 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: be so? So? I mean that's ten games. You you 482 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 1: almost have to be six and four or seven and 483 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,479 Speaker 1: three by that time. Five and five you look at 484 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: and go with the last four games, You've got three 485 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: on the road. That's a tough schedule. So the Jets 486 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: have to make a in those first ten games with 487 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: the with the remaining six games left and the two 488 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: dates against the now Tom Brady less New England Patriots. 489 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: You mentioned Week nine, Monday Night football back at home 490 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: against the Pats, and chance for the Jets to get revenge. 491 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: We know how poorly the Monday night game against New 492 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: England went last year, so a chance to atone for 493 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: that one. And then they'll close out the season in 494 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: Foxborough against Bill Belichick's team. So that is the schedule 495 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: can't get here soon enough. As far as I'm concerned, 496 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: I think that you would probably also echo those thoughts, Greg, 497 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: And as far as the NFL calendar is concerned, the 498 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 1: off season program continues.
