Speaker 1: Always a treat to have Braylan Edwards and Mark Sanchez
Speaker 1: here at training camp. What was it like for you
Speaker 1: guys just going out there hanging out and practice.
Speaker 2: To first thing?
Speaker 3: It's happened last year too, when Mark and I were here,
Speaker 3: I wish we were we were up in Courtland.
Speaker 2: Wasn't a bad drive.
Speaker 3: But you see the rises, you see the crowd here
Speaker 3: in the flowing a part.
Speaker 2: It's exciting.
Speaker 4: But Courtland was cool, was really cool.
Speaker 2: Courtland was great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I mean, come on, the dark Horse up there,
Speaker 5: actually have the top.
Speaker 4: I have the top.
Speaker 5: Braile got blntrol the top, the top, but Mark markentrol.
Speaker 5: This is the top of a barrel from one of
Speaker 5: their I don't know, kegs or something, but I have
Speaker 5: it in my bar at home.
Speaker 4: The dark Horse.
Speaker 5: It's in California from there, the dark Horse Tavern. Harry
Speaker 5: gave it to me.
Speaker 1: Legendarious, legendary establishment as far as you know, right outside
Speaker 1: sunny Courtland. When Rex told you, guys, say you got
Speaker 1: the night off.
Speaker 4: What would you do with that? Dangerous?
Speaker 2: What to Tago?
Speaker 1: Bill?
Speaker 4: Shots fired?
Speaker 2: What I want to tackle Bill?
Speaker 1: But it was you said it was dangerous?
Speaker 4: No, I mean we just had.
Speaker 5: We had a lot of great personalities, a lot of
Speaker 5: guys that wanted to work really hard when it was
Speaker 5: time to work, and then have a great time as
Speaker 5: well and enjoy the spoils, if you will, of New York.
Speaker 5: And I thought, I thought we did a great job
Speaker 5: of balancing both and we we had a great time.
Speaker 5: I genuinely like felt like it was college. Especially that
Speaker 5: second year for me in twenty ten, it felt a
Speaker 5: little more like guys were everybody's Yeah, it's true, traded,
Speaker 5: that's right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he didn't come till week five or six. Yeah,
Speaker 4: my rookie year.
Speaker 5: And then the next year with you know, Jason Taylor,
Speaker 5: we had the hard knocks year.
Speaker 4: Well documented the.
Speaker 3: Kind of person now I had like a Courtland hoodie.
Speaker 3: I had to jogg in pants.
Speaker 2: I was like, Courtland, you looked.
Speaker 4: Like a freshman.
Speaker 5: You look like an incoming freshman with rich parents is
Speaker 5: what he looked like, just decked out.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 1: But the thing about Courtland was it was cool in
Speaker 1: the morning.
Speaker 4: It was nice.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and there's something to be said about going away
Speaker 5: for camp. I know the world is changing. We just
Speaker 5: had this conversation, but the world is changing. Things are
Speaker 5: different now, but I did like that, you know, us
Speaker 5: against the world mentality. We're gonna hunker down in our bunker,
Speaker 5: our place, our safe spot, and go get better. Set
Speaker 5: the tone for our year. Learn these offensive and defensive
Speaker 5: and special teams calls, and let's go. Let's go kick
Speaker 5: some masks this year.
Speaker 4: You know. But it starts there. You create your identity.
Speaker 5: I think in training camp, and there was something to
Speaker 5: that kind of get away from everything mentality.
Speaker 4: But that was a hell of a draft.
Speaker 1: What what was your training camp mustafs? Did have to
Speaker 1: have in the room?
Speaker 3: I mean my laptop, my speaker because I was a
Speaker 3: DJ at least I thought I was. Yeah, just so,
Speaker 3: so I had to have my speaker, had that my laptop,
Speaker 3: so I could, you know, make some some mixes.
Speaker 2: Other than that, not much. No, I was simple. That
Speaker 2: was simple.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was pretty easy too. I was in the
Speaker 4: diva or anything.
Speaker 1: So nine to ten, last time this team made the playoffs.
Speaker 1: What did you guys think what you saw the twenty.
Speaker 4: We were talking about lifting the curse? You too, coming back?
Speaker 5: It won't I mean we just well, for a small
Speaker 5: monetary fee, we'd think about lifting the Jets playoff curse.
Speaker 1: So we got a ways to go. But what did
Speaker 1: you think as far as just the talent here? And
Speaker 1: then also how do you guys take in practice? Maybe
Speaker 1: differently than I.
Speaker 3: Think last year when I came here, it was just
Speaker 3: exciting to see eight on the field. He was like, okay,
Speaker 3: you have eight. It was fun to watch one seven.
Speaker 3: Who's now five Garrett Wilson. It was fun to watch.
Speaker 3: But the defense really set the tone last year in practice,
Speaker 3: the defense was until proven. Differently, they still already calls
Speaker 3: on the team. Watching this year, you're watching some iron,
Speaker 3: You're watching offense, you're watching players.
Speaker 2: They have more.
Speaker 3: Than just one wide receiver, they have more than just
Speaker 3: one running back. They actually have a system right now
Speaker 3: that can challenge that defense that is going to be
Speaker 3: really good this year.
Speaker 2: So I saw a situation where iron is sharpening iron.
Speaker 3: But that defense wasn't necessarily setting the tone all the time.
Speaker 3: Offense at the tone a little bit out there practice
Speaker 3: a day too. So I'm excited that they have two
Speaker 3: sides as well. Last year was a hopeful one and
Speaker 3: they know they had the defense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really good.
Speaker 5: Points just piggybacking off of that, I think so competitive.
Speaker 5: In practice, you saw the defense win a couple, offense
Speaker 5: win a few, and it went back and forth. To
Speaker 5: Brolin's point, a little different feel last year in camp,
Speaker 5: at least the day we were here, but the cupboards
Speaker 5: full there. On offense, now it looks different. I love
Speaker 5: what they did at the offensive line, and then the
Speaker 5: general sentiment right the you know, millennial if you will,
Speaker 5: vibes kind of you can tell there's a little chip
Speaker 5: on everybody's shoulder, especially on offense. I felt that, and
Speaker 5: you know, things didn't pan out obviously, four plays end
Speaker 5: of the season, you lose your superstar. So people were
Speaker 5: a little embarrassed, upset, frustrated, and now it's time. Now
Speaker 5: you can tell they feel like, hey, forget the noise,
Speaker 5: forget everything else, let's go kick some ass this year.
Speaker 4: Let's let's go make a statement. And I liked it.
Speaker 4: I thought it was it was like an urgent animosity,
Speaker 4: you know, I.
Speaker 5: Like that, but like controlled urgent animal, like we're they
Speaker 5: just like wid no, sloppy, no, you know, one minor
Speaker 5: fight gets breaked up fast, like broken up fast, like
Speaker 5: that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: You can tell teams that have you know, been.
Speaker 5: Through a little bit together, been through a little adversity,
Speaker 5: get punched in the mouth a little bit, and then
Speaker 5: you come back.
Speaker 1: You guys had a different You guys had a different
Speaker 1: dynamic as a quarterback and receiver because you're a young
Speaker 1: guy at that point, And Brailin said, a couple of
Speaker 1: years in the National Football League. But when you watch
Speaker 1: Aaron work specifically with Garrett, what's going through your mind?
Speaker 1: I know on social media today people are making up
Speaker 1: this clip where Garrett and Aaron echinees day the heated conversation,
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day they're shaking hands.
Speaker 4: Oh of course, yeah. I mean we've been through that
Speaker 4: as well.
Speaker 5: Like not every throw is gonna be perfect, not every
Speaker 5: route's gonna be perfect, but you're trying to get as
Speaker 5: close as you can and get more time on task,
Speaker 5: get time with that player to try and understand. Okay,
Speaker 5: what's he thinking. What's Braylen's body language look like when
Speaker 5: he comes out of a speed out, a speed cutout
Speaker 5: from nine to eleven yards on Monday night football at Miami.
Speaker 5: What's it look like when he's going up making a
Speaker 5: whole shot catch against cover two against Miami up the
Speaker 5: sidelines when shot he reminds me in the headset, Hey,
Speaker 5: this one's for the game, and then he cuts off
Speaker 5: the headset. I was like, thanks a lot, Like there's
Speaker 5: not enough pressure already, just so you know. But like
Speaker 5: that kind of stuff, you could tell that they're starting
Speaker 5: to really get into that and they got short changed
Speaker 5: a little bit last year. But you don't think Aaron's
Speaker 5: watching all those clips. You don't think Aaron's dialed in
Speaker 5: to watching and studying the guys he's going to be with.
Speaker 4: The next year.
Speaker 5: So you could tell he's done plenty of offseason work
Speaker 5: and they look dynamic.
Speaker 2: I think the thing that's going to help their relationship.
Speaker 3: And I was talking to Garrett about this on the sideline,
Speaker 3: and I give him a lot of credit. He's always present.
Speaker 3: It's very hard for wide receiver to stay present. You
Speaker 3: look at the quarterback situation that he's had. He's had
Speaker 3: six different quarterbacks in three years. You talk about wins losses,
Speaker 3: it's tough for wide receivers, particularly to stay engaged to
Speaker 3: do the things. But when you watch him, he's always
Speaker 3: making the plays. He's always running the right routes, he's
Speaker 3: always making the catches, no matter when it is in
Speaker 3: the game and when you watch him at practice, he's
Speaker 3: always in. He's always doing something to get better.
Speaker 2: That is when Aaron thrives.
Speaker 1: It.
Speaker 3: He thrives when he has those type of guys, what
Speaker 3: it's Devonte Adams, whether it's insert wide receiver that he's
Speaker 3: had in the past that take the game series much
Speaker 3: like him. So I think Rendall kay just retire one
Speaker 3: of the best to do it for Green Bay and
Speaker 3: here so you just see he's got a guy that
Speaker 3: even though he's going in the year four excuse me,
Speaker 3: year three, he's a vet in every sense of the word.
Speaker 2: He works hard.
Speaker 1: What's unique about his physical skill set? I just asked
Speaker 1: DJ Read about it and he said that his releases
Speaker 1: he just changes up constantly. But also Quincy noon one
Speaker 1: and I were talking after practice and he called the
Speaker 1: guy in an acrobat.
Speaker 3: His body control. Yeah, like body control would be the
Speaker 3: first thing that comes to mind for me. Like he
Speaker 3: runs routes with the best of them. He's fast, he's
Speaker 3: in and out of the breaks. He can really doesn't
Speaker 3: change speed, which is greatful a quarterback because that means
Speaker 3: it gives him.
Speaker 2: That that separation.
Speaker 3: He gives the quarterback room to put the ball in there, man,
Speaker 3: but that you can't coach.
Speaker 2: That acrobatic, the body type.
Speaker 3: I saw him almost make a catch on the sideline.
Speaker 3: He wasn't even in the game. They threw the ball
Speaker 3: and almost said to the crowd, he just jumps up
Speaker 3: and jump. He got way up and it called me
Speaker 3: out the corner of my eye. His body control is
Speaker 3: I think, something that makes him stand out amongst all
Speaker 3: the good Wade receives in the NFL.
Speaker 5: He can land soft. He's elusive at the line of
Speaker 5: scrimmage because he's not He's a different body type than
Speaker 5: Brailin right, Like, if you get close to Brailin trying
Speaker 5: to get your hands on him, he might.
Speaker 4: Just shock you so quick and paralyze you and then
Speaker 4: run by you. You know what I mean.
Speaker 5: Where this guy's got to be quick and elusive at
Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage because he's not as strong as
Speaker 5: somebody like Braylon's body type. So he's plenty strong. Don't
Speaker 5: get me wrong. It's just two different types of player,
Speaker 5: and they're both incredibly talented.
Speaker 4: But this kid's good.
Speaker 2: He's legit.
Speaker 1: Mike Williams started camp on the pup. You were a
Speaker 1: bigger receiver yourself, What do you like most about his
Speaker 1: game and how is he going to add to the
Speaker 1: equation here.
Speaker 3: One thing about Mike Williams I watched him when he
Speaker 3: was in San Diego now the LA Chargers is he
Speaker 3: high points the ball well, like when the ball is
Speaker 3: in the air, whether it's high, whether it's lower. He's
Speaker 3: very aggressive for the football. And that you can't coach
Speaker 3: that kind of thing. You can't teach that trying to
Speaker 3: make somebody aggressive for the football. My coach used to
Speaker 3: tell me, when the ball is in their it's yours.
Speaker 3: Like the ball is yours, it's no one else's, it's yours.
Speaker 3: A quarterback trust you, so you get the ball. I
Speaker 3: think that's what he's done best in his career. And
Speaker 3: he's had some unfortunate injuries that have hampered him at times.
Speaker 3: But when he plays, when he's in between the hashes, man,
Speaker 3: he plays with the best of them.
Speaker 2: It's his dominance for getting the ball.
Speaker 3: You put the ball in there, you got eighty percent
Speaker 3: chance that he's gonna make the play or getting personal
Speaker 3: past and affairs. So he's aggressive and he attacks the ball.
Speaker 3: I've always loved that about his game.
Speaker 5: And I think he's a little bit underrated playing playing
Speaker 5: in San Diego, playing in LA with the Chargers, I
Speaker 5: don't think he got a ton of the love that
Speaker 5: he really deserved. I think some of that has to
Speaker 5: do with the injuries. But he made some huge plays
Speaker 5: for those teams, and I would see it just locally
Speaker 5: on the news at night. But if you're not in
Speaker 5: that market, you don't necessarily gravitate towards a guy like
Speaker 5: that because they weren't on great teams really. So I
Speaker 5: think here's a chance for him career wise. And we
Speaker 5: all know up here, everybody knows around here. You play
Speaker 5: well in New York, everybody's gonna know your name.
Speaker 2: I think he's also underrated ro runner.
Speaker 3: Like when you think a tall guy six ' five
Speaker 3: Calvin Johnston, you think about Rocker running, you think about
Speaker 3: jumping over or running pass or bulldozing through like he
Speaker 3: runs the dig which was one of my favorite.
Speaker 2: Routes, the big Dig route.
Speaker 3: He runs it just hey, you know, he runs it
Speaker 3: just as good as anybody in the game at six ' five.
Speaker 3: So the fact that he can run routes that catches
Speaker 3: you up right as a defensive back. You're not expecting
Speaker 3: the receivers over sixty three to run routes you expect
Speaker 3: them try to bully you, get to a spoty run
Speaker 3: by you. I think he tricks a lot of people
Speaker 3: with that rob running ability.
Speaker 4: What do you like.
Speaker 1: Most watching Aaron just practice? Is your guy who played
Speaker 1: the game, you're also calling the game each week up
Speaker 1: into booth.
Speaker 5: You know what's funny is his ability to lock in
Speaker 5: and his focus is pretty uncanny. You see it with
Speaker 5: the Peyton Mannings, the Drew Brees', Tom Brady's. They just
Speaker 5: get this look in their eye and whether it's practices
Speaker 5: or games, or walk throughs or meetings, and he has
Speaker 5: this ability to turn it on and turn it off
Speaker 5: like that, and he can joke with you. He's got
Speaker 5: a million thoughts going through his head on one side
Speaker 5: of his brain, and then he's absolutely dialed trying to
Speaker 5: dice you up on defense and get an edge and
Speaker 5: talk to his guys and motivate, learn, teach, listen all
Speaker 5: at the same time. He has an uncar any ability
Speaker 5: to handle a lot while still maintaining this incredible focus.
Speaker 5: His ability to compartmentalize I think is maybe unmatched.
Speaker 4: And he's a cerebral guy.
Speaker 5: He's thinking three four steps ahead of people, and you know,
Speaker 5: sometimes it comes off as arrogant or pompous or a
Speaker 5: little different, but yeah, he is a little different. But
Speaker 5: he is stone cold killer now man, and he really
Speaker 5: wants to win.
Speaker 1: But there seems to be a relatability factor that he
Speaker 1: has with guys.
Speaker 4: In the rooms. That's what I mean.
Speaker 5: He's like he can f It's I mean, like tight
Speaker 5: roping across Niagara Falls. This guy has the perfect balance
Speaker 5: of everything. And it's impressive to watch. It's impressive.
Speaker 4: What's going.
Speaker 1: In your mind? When going on in your mind when
Speaker 1: you're watching this and you can see Aaron is waiting
Speaker 1: for the snap, and he's almost toying with you. There's
Speaker 1: this cat and mouse game and he lets you finally
Speaker 1: disguise your diskis and you're showing pressure and he knows
Speaker 1: he's got you be How will that help the Jets
Speaker 1: defense down the line?
Speaker 5: Oh shoot, well we saw today, Okay, the lay coming
Speaker 5: towards the building.
Speaker 4: They brought a four week pressure.
Speaker 5: They try to disguise it and he hits Garrett up
Speaker 5: the sideline and it was a classic Aaron Rodgers boom fake,
Speaker 5: the snap fake, the mic point and boom, and you're
Speaker 5: the defense is kind of taught the second time. You're
Speaker 5: going down for the ball, looking at the center, and
Speaker 5: you got to make sure you don't lift the leg
Speaker 5: or give an indicator and keep your eyes up because
Speaker 5: then they'll hold right. And he just sells it enough
Speaker 5: because he's a part actor at the same time, and
Speaker 5: then right at the last second goes boom easy.
Speaker 4: Hey, Mike, forty four. Mike's forty four.
Speaker 5: Then he tells the back you got the safety, go
Speaker 5: back and pull up the clip because it's money. This
Speaker 5: is like classic Yeah, week pressure on four week pressure
Speaker 5: on defense. Remind the offensive line new mic point from
Speaker 5: the mic to the will till the running back.
Speaker 4: You got to help over there.
Speaker 5: If that extra guy comes, which he is, boom, go
Speaker 5: go pick that guy off. And now it's Garret Wilson
Speaker 5: on the safety.
Speaker 3: Good luck and unless than exs and knows uh breakdown
Speaker 3: and execution and the explanation that I think he trusts
Speaker 3: his confidence level, he trusts himself. He's been doing this
Speaker 3: now for the best part of twenty years, nineteen twenty.
Speaker 3: We're in the same draft class, class of five. He's
Speaker 3: been doing it. Hush, he's been doing it so long.
Speaker 3: He's doing so longbody trusts itself. A lot of people
Speaker 3: have seen it, but they still don't. Necessarily, I know
Speaker 3: what's coming, but is it gonna go like one percent?
Speaker 3: When he knows his instantly he knows what it is.
Speaker 3: He's able to get through those things. And Mark laid
Speaker 3: also eloquently, and then he goes. He trusts and it's there,
Speaker 3: It's always there. But he trusts himself. He trusts the years.
Speaker 2: He's spending in the NFL, So that.
Speaker 1: Trust is a How old are you guys right now?
Speaker 1: Forty one, forty seven, thirty seven, still a baby thirty seven?
Speaker 1: So what do you think about this?
Speaker 2: Can I get the baby at forty one? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Definitely, I gotta start with him first. I'm like a
Speaker 1: grandpa compared to you guys, No, true, right, What do
Speaker 1: you how would you assess his environment heading into the
Speaker 1: season being forty gonna be forty one in December? Yeah,
Speaker 1: trying to accomplish something that nobody ever has before coming
Speaker 1: off in Achilles. We've never seen anything.
Speaker 5: Like this, I know, especially as fast as he was
Speaker 5: able to start moving around. Yeah, that was impressive in itself,
Speaker 5: I know in some ways, guys like that, competitors like that,
Speaker 5: you almost have to protect them from themselves, like don't
Speaker 5: let him go out too early kind of thing. So
Speaker 5: I think they did a good job of taking care
Speaker 5: of him last year, make sure he didnt try and
Speaker 5: come back too early. But I think he really does
Speaker 5: have something to prove. And that's not a guy you
Speaker 5: want to mess with. Like you don't. You don't go
Speaker 5: picking fights with Jedis, you know what I mean. It's
Speaker 5: just not really in your best interest. So I know,
Speaker 5: a lot of the noise, a lot of the offseason stuff,
Speaker 5: he's he's a different cat, you know, of marches to
Speaker 5: the beat of his own drum kind of thing. But
Speaker 5: trust me, he's a pretty impressive guy. And that's not
Speaker 5: somebody I want either under the radar or pissed off
Speaker 5: at me, you know what I mean, Especially as a
Speaker 5: dee coordinator.
Speaker 4: It's a lot to deal with.
Speaker 3: I've seen the first Sam you know, in two thousand
Speaker 3: and five. His name didn't get called till twenty four
Speaker 3: and you know, he had that chip on his shoulder
Speaker 3: until he came in and start got the job after
Speaker 3: his third year.
Speaker 2: That's not a guy I want to piss off. Remember
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, he told him, man, it
Speaker 2: was over. He's done. What happened.
Speaker 3: He gets back to back NBA. So he's just a
Speaker 3: guy that thrives in the pressure. He thrives when you're
Speaker 3: tell him you can't do something. I think last year
Speaker 3: you started seeing built team bonds, like he was legitimately
Speaker 3: locked into what the New York Jets were. He was
Speaker 3: trying to build with this team. He was trying to
Speaker 3: build with this coaching staff. It wasn't Aaron Rodgers and
Speaker 3: everybody else. It was Aaron Rodgers a part of a team.
Speaker 3: And obviously we know it didn't get to happen that way.
Speaker 3: So I think he's still trying to prove that he's
Speaker 3: that team guy. And that's what you see today, That's
Speaker 3: what you've seen all off season. I think him coming back,
Speaker 3: like you said forty Achilles kirk Cousins is another guy
Speaker 3: you think about that, but coming off those injuries, I
Speaker 3: wouldn't bet on it. I wouldn't bet against eight. He's
Speaker 3: just not a guy you want to bet against. And
Speaker 3: I think they Jets have done great job of putting
Speaker 3: the right things around him, the right pieces, so that
Speaker 3: he can have.
Speaker 5: And I mean, what a story if it works out right,
Speaker 5: because all the hype that come coming in last year,
Speaker 5: then it's oh it failed. Well sorry, he's not over,
Speaker 5: just we just got to intermission, so hank tight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Robert Saula was talking about that. We thought it
Speaker 1: was going to be year three for us, and basically
Speaker 1: they got it taken away. But that being said, this
Speaker 1: is a year for the program. There's reason to think
Speaker 1: on paper, at least this roster's better than it was
Speaker 1: last ye years, and they were ready. They might have
Speaker 1: been ready to take off last year.
Speaker 5: I think so, and I think yes, having those wraps
Speaker 5: with Aaron would that have helped? Absolutely, But just a
Speaker 5: year in the system, getting the language down, speaking it fluently,
Speaker 5: this year, bringing young guys along, for guys like Garrett
Speaker 5: Wilson to bring along Malachi Corley, you know who he
Speaker 5: saw flashes of today like that, Yeah, just like that.
Speaker 5: Well the punters wearing more Steed's wearing number six.
Speaker 4: Well there you go, there you go.
Speaker 1: I saw number six in the stands today.
Speaker 4: Did you ever see that?
Speaker 2: Somebody?
Speaker 5: It was laundry day, I guess, and Aaron Rodgers was
Speaker 5: in the in the wash so they brought six out.
Speaker 5: I actually did a jersey swap with more Staed. Yeah,
Speaker 5: so I gave him that that jersey. I borrowed it
Speaker 5: from that nice fan whoever you are, thank you, and
Speaker 5: then we did a fake little post game jerseys.
Speaker 1: Did you talk to.
Speaker 2: I did just uh one. I told him I drafted him,
Speaker 2: and he's like, I remember, it was nice to meet you.
Speaker 2: It's funny, sir.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't hate it, but I don't like.
Speaker 5: I like the respect from the young guys. I appreciate that.
Speaker 5: But then it's like just coming up my dad.
Speaker 3: And he is like, sir, he's stand so But with
Speaker 3: that being said, I got a chance to talk to him.
Speaker 2: Excited to you what he can do. We were talking
Speaker 2: about him.
Speaker 3: You put the ball in his hands, man, his yards
Speaker 3: have to catch and just being able to be exposed to.
Speaker 2: We got to get him in the running routes.
Speaker 3: We've got him getting used being able to catch past
Speaker 3: is fourteen yards down the field, sixteen yards down the field,
Speaker 3: twenty yards on the field.
Speaker 2: But I was watching him explosive and he listens. He's
Speaker 2: a tenant.
Speaker 3: Of course, a bunch of different people have conversations with
Speaker 3: him on the sideline and I watched him listening and
Speaker 3: watched him gage, So I'm excited to see what he has.
Speaker 3: And I called him on stage. You know, last time
Speaker 3: I called somebody on stage rest in Peace, they ended
Speaker 3: up being a big part of what we did, and
Speaker 3: that was Joe m usc So I wanted him.
Speaker 2: So I'm excited. Yeh, I'm excited.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Rogers, speaking of the playoffs, how much do
Speaker 1: you guys reflect what happened with you guys in the
Speaker 1: postseason and how close you were through facing him because
Speaker 1: his only Super Bowl ring came after beating the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 4: Member we lost to them. Yeah, at my life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was talking to mar Scott about this the
Speaker 1: other day.
Speaker 5: Oh, we had I mean, I don't know what Aaron
Speaker 5: would say now, but our roster was easily I was good,
Speaker 5: if not better. Our defense throttled them, but we just
Speaker 5: couldn't do anything on offense, and freaking Woodson picked me
Speaker 5: off on a dank slant route that was so bad
Speaker 5: it should have been a flag. We had a couple
Speaker 5: questionable calls, a couple questionable calls, but regardless, we didn't
Speaker 5: win the game. Oh, I know, and Rex All he
Speaker 5: wanted to do was get another shot at those guys
Speaker 5: because he was pissed. I mean, you give up nine points,
Speaker 5: come on, offense. We got to figure it out, and
Speaker 5: so I felt like we were in such a better
Speaker 5: place in the playoffs. Like then we were against those
Speaker 5: guys in you know, October whenever we played them, but shoot,
Speaker 5: we were It was funny. We were just talking about
Speaker 5: like your favorite throws and catches one another, our memories
Speaker 5: together and.
Speaker 3: On that Yeah, yeah, yeah, Hey, I was under pressure.
Speaker 4: Hey do you guys have a top five? Well, I
Speaker 4: still think the slug o.
Speaker 5: So we used to run the fake power because we dude,
Speaker 5: we'd run Power on third and ten, pull.
Speaker 4: A guard and have two backs in the backfield. Yeah yeah, So.
Speaker 5: We would you know, turn around and I'm gonna hand
Speaker 5: off power and then there goes Braylan ripping on a
Speaker 5: slant route off the line of scrimmers on the backside
Speaker 5: to the X single receiver.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 5: So we used to run that play all the time,
Speaker 5: and everybody was ready for it. The Colts were ready
Speaker 5: for it, and we left free Eny free on the
Speaker 5: sideline or on the end of the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 5: But Braylan just routed up the corner and I told
Speaker 5: him that was the fastest I think he ever clocked
Speaker 5: in his career. I wish we had GPS back then.
Speaker 5: I mean, there was the invention of GPS. We're not
Speaker 5: that old, but not in our pets. I think he
Speaker 5: would have hit like twenty two miles an hour or
Speaker 5: something because he was flying. And I just remember throwing
Speaker 5: that ball, watching him take off and thinking, oh my god.
Speaker 2: I like, how we manipulate it's gonna be it.
Speaker 3: I like, how Shy start getting us to manipulate the
Speaker 3: STEM releases. Like so in twenty ten we were a
Speaker 3: couple of STEM releases in scored on three of them.
Speaker 3: I think we had the STEM release outright against Miami first,
Speaker 3: actually my first.
Speaker 2: Playing the game.
Speaker 4: He throws that like spread.
Speaker 2: Touched seventy two yard touchdown. We played Buffalo.
Speaker 3: That's when we run those STEM outs, Stem out and
Speaker 3: go hit that and then we play the Broncos.
Speaker 2: So Champ Bailey outside of Hall of Fame twenty.
Speaker 4: Four took the top off and zero.
Speaker 3: It's the best dB ever played like, CHAMPI Bailey next
Speaker 3: to the Rover was the best thing you ever played
Speaker 3: like he was down in.
Speaker 2: Intelligent, he knew where you were going.
Speaker 3: He was strong, deceptively six to one, deceptively tall, long arms.
Speaker 3: Never scored on him. I couldnot score on him to
Speaker 3: save my life. That Bronco Is year. We played them
Speaker 3: Stem Release, seam Rock, cut it in, put it right,
Speaker 3: it was butt naked.
Speaker 5: Was cover zero. We had free runners. So I just
Speaker 5: kind of threw it to a spot.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 4: That was awesome.
Speaker 2: It's funny.
Speaker 1: Hey, when you look across the sideline you see Antonio.
Speaker 5: I know I gave a hard time forty linebacker like
Speaker 5: all traps. Remember when he got in trouble for Nie
Speaker 5: McDonald's and warm ups? Okay, so we had a practice along.
Speaker 5: I liked yes at Hofstra so he brought out these
Speaker 5: sandwiches and recks got pissed and you know he was
Speaker 5: screaming at the defense. Dennis Thurman was mad at everybody
Speaker 5: everything usc So I said, damn crow. He looked like
Speaker 5: you could be playing linebacker. I think those cheeseburgers are
Speaker 5: catching up to you. He goes Man, he got all mad
Speaker 5: at me.
Speaker 4: So why you got to say that?
Speaker 2: Off the jump like funny story. I hosted a logo
Speaker 2: in college.
Speaker 4: No, you did not.
Speaker 2: I swear to God I did so.
Speaker 4: No wonder why he didn't go there.
Speaker 3: You know what, at the end of the day, some
Speaker 3: of years older and Crow grade wise, and he came up.
Speaker 1: What is it?
Speaker 3: December is like the big draft man, the big recruit weekend.
Speaker 2: He couldn't come up then, typical Crow.
Speaker 3: He came up after we played the bowl game before
Speaker 3: winter term started, so it was just he and I
Speaker 3: and we're sitting up there. We're watching film of the
Speaker 3: out back Bow where we beat Florida, and the whole
Speaker 3: time watched he was like, I'll be this guy on that.
Speaker 3: He was liked, how'd you let him catch you?
Speaker 2: He caught you.
Speaker 3: Again on this one, Like sonight, he's getting on my nerve?
Speaker 3: He was, he was, but he got mad at me.
Speaker 3: He said, where's the rest of my perdem? I said,
Speaker 3: what are you talking about? When he said, well, you
Speaker 3: know you gave me twenty, where's the other forty? I
Speaker 3: was like, well, look, man, nobody's up here right now.
Speaker 3: I had to come from Detroit to hear. It's called
Speaker 3: gas money. So we always actually just joked about that.
Speaker 3: But that's how long I know him hosting them that
Speaker 3: would have been shaken stealing there pretty am, but they
Speaker 3: made me.
Speaker 2: Come ver from it. I didn't have any money. There
Speaker 2: was n I l in two thousand and two.
Speaker 3: I had to drive up so Crow was in arbor
Speaker 3: and he said, I'm not coming here, but if I did,
Speaker 3: I take your.
Speaker 4: Yea, dude, it's way too cold. He ain't going there.
Speaker 1: Hey, you guys, your schools is in the same conference.
Speaker 4: Now, what is that all?
Speaker 3: That's we got some get back get they think they owe.
Speaker 4: It's a couple.
Speaker 1: Wait, so what do you think about that USC joint?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's huge for us.
Speaker 5: I think it made sense the way these conferences are realigning,
Speaker 5: and it was right for the program at the time.
Speaker 4: I think, well, we'll see how we do.
Speaker 5: I'm I'm excited about our our our opportunities to play
Speaker 5: schools like Michigan and not wait till January first, to
Speaker 5: try and play those guys that you know, it's going
Speaker 5: to be back to back slugfests against some of these
Speaker 5: teams every week and different and different body types, different
Speaker 5: mentality of players and coaches and and schemes and stuff.
Speaker 5: So I'm that's gonna be fun. We we're gonna have
Speaker 5: plenty of work cut out for us, but I think
Speaker 5: we'll be competitive.
Speaker 1: Amazing Blue coming off.
Speaker 3: I'm championship true shout its Amazed Blue, Go Blue National.
Speaker 2: I'm excited because every time we.
Speaker 3: Play these teams, whether it's playing uh a USC, whether
Speaker 3: it's playing Oregon, whether it's playing Washington, whether it's playing
Speaker 3: an SEC school or Texas, we always got to go
Speaker 3: to the rolls ball.
Speaker 2: We always gotta go to Texas. You always gotta go
Speaker 2: down South, you always go on to West Coast.
Speaker 3: Yeah, come on up to the Big House, on up
Speaker 3: to the Big House. But you know, all jokes aside.
Speaker 3: You're talking about a story program like USC. Like great
Speaker 3: to have them in the Big Ten. Now, Man organ
Speaker 3: and what they've done over the past, you know, ten years,
Speaker 3: ten twelve years, they've been one of the best programs.
Speaker 3: So them and Matt Lanning, I'm excited to have these
Speaker 3: schools in the Big Ten. The Big Ten is definitely
Speaker 3: taking their chance. I think they're better. They're better conference
Speaker 3: in the SEC in my opinion.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they might be top to bottom, you know, like
Speaker 5: the bottom of the Big Ten. Is it better than
Speaker 5: the SEC? I think that'll be a good argument by
Speaker 5: the end of the season, how these bowl games shakeout,
Speaker 5: how these records shakeout.
Speaker 4: That'll be fun to watch.
Speaker 1: You both are thriving in this industry. So you cover
Speaker 1: not just the Jets from AFAR, but you guys know
Speaker 1: the National Football League. What do you make of the
Speaker 1: landscape the Jets face in the AFC.
Speaker 2: I'm working, He's thriving.
Speaker 5: Go ahead, Mark, Well, shoot, I think things still run
Speaker 5: through Buffalo. I think a lot of question marks in
Speaker 5: New England with turnover at head coach, turnover at quarterback
Speaker 5: always going to be potential setbacks or just potential roadblocks
Speaker 5: when you start over, start fresh like that, and then
Speaker 5: Miami a ton of turnover.
Speaker 4: There as well.
Speaker 5: Defensively is the big one is how are those guys
Speaker 5: going to come back Phillips and Chubb from injuries. What's
Speaker 5: that going to look like without Howard the defensive back,
Speaker 5: Davin Howard. That's gonna be a big question mark as well.
Speaker 5: New defensive coordinator, new scheme, new language. That's always something
Speaker 5: that you need to think about. And sometimes it takes
Speaker 5: till almost bye week midway through the season where everybody's
Speaker 5: really clicking, and by then you can drop a couple
Speaker 5: of games. So I think the Jets, you know, listen,
Speaker 5: if they can, worst case you split with Buffalo, you know,
Speaker 5: steal two of the other games against New England hopefully
Speaker 5: and break that streak, and then you know Miami will
Speaker 5: be their next toughest opponent. Things are looking good to potentially,
Speaker 5: you know, tied for first, be right there at second,
Speaker 5: like they're gonna have a shot to win this thing
Speaker 5: and they're just gonna have to come out of the
Speaker 5: gates quick and stay healthy.
Speaker 3: I'm not as political. I think it's the Jets for
Speaker 3: the taking. I think it suggests for taking. You look
Speaker 3: what the Buffalo Bills have been since they made it
Speaker 3: to the FC Championship game.
Speaker 2: They've gone down each year.
Speaker 3: And I think Josh Allen, I love him as a player,
Speaker 3: but I don't know if he and Sean McDermott all right,
Speaker 3: I think, excuse me, and I think this is a
Speaker 3: pivotal year for them, and I think they've been on
Speaker 3: the decline each year. You look at what they've done
Speaker 3: in the playoffs speaks for itself. So I'm not scared
Speaker 3: of them. Patriots nowhere near scared of that. And the
Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins is very inconsistent. Like you said, if you
Speaker 3: can split with them, get one early and force them
Speaker 3: in a situation where make Miami play up north in
Speaker 3: the winter time, make Miami play here in January. Don't
Speaker 3: give them an opportunity where you got to go down
Speaker 3: in Hume in Miami in January. You want to be
Speaker 3: up here. So I like the Jets chances. I think
Speaker 3: they have enough on both sides of the ball and
Speaker 3: special teams to be the dominant force in the AFC eastfcast.
Speaker 1: The way to schedule, let's get out here with this. Well,
Speaker 1: what do you think about the way the schedule aligns
Speaker 1: San Francisco Monday Night.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna be a well.
Speaker 2: Watched seven primetime games, correct.
Speaker 1: Yeah, seven stand alons seven, seven stand alone single windows.
Speaker 4: Wow. Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 1: Week two, you're at Tennessee, then home opener Thursday night
Speaker 1: Football against the New England Patriots. Then you come home.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you stay at home.
Speaker 1: After ten days Denver Broncos. So what I'm saying, early
Speaker 1: on in the season, you get forty nine ers. We
Speaker 1: know that they're going to be one of the teams
Speaker 1: in the league, but you have other teams that are
Speaker 1: in transition, whether it's Tennessee they got a new head coach,
Speaker 1: you have new England who is new head coach? Maybe
Speaker 1: new quarterback could be Jacoby Brissette.
Speaker 4: You got Denver.
Speaker 1: You don't know what the quarterback situation is. There's a
Speaker 1: Wilson's in over there, Minnesota. Who did you see London?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Ken game?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 5: So I think the toughest thing that working against his
Speaker 5: travel and the unknown of those teams. You're gonna have
Speaker 5: to kind of piecemeal some of that game plan together
Speaker 5: with some of those defensive coordinators are offensive coordinators or
Speaker 5: almost like college tape from guys to try and figure
Speaker 5: out who they are by the time you see them,
Speaker 5: because it's so early when you have those teams later
Speaker 5: in the year, you have a whole body of work,
Speaker 5: a whole six, eight, ten weeks to study. These guys
Speaker 5: are gonna be fresh start for everybody. But they're saying
Speaker 5: the same thing about the Jets. So we know their
Speaker 5: defense good is good? How good is their offense? You know,
Speaker 5: everybody's got a question mark. So that first month of
Speaker 5: the season is like it's almost like March madness. You know,
Speaker 5: it's just nuts. It's all matchups it's all, you know,
Speaker 5: going down to the wire, games within a touchdown or
Speaker 5: three points, you know, And so the Jets are just
Speaker 5: gonna have to find themselves on the right side of,
Speaker 5: you know, those first four. If they could, you know,
Speaker 5: be somewhere three and one, even two and two, I
Speaker 5: would take. But three and one, you're feeling great after
Speaker 5: the first month of the season, and then once again
Speaker 5: staying healthy, that's gonna be huge.
Speaker 3: I agree one percent. I'll just stay with the first
Speaker 3: game in season samps Is. There's a lot of carry
Speaker 3: over there. Yeah, forty niners are getting a lot of credit.
Speaker 3: They don't necessarily deserve this year. No green law this year.
Speaker 3: That offensive line is not nearly the same. They really
Speaker 3: just have Trent Williams. What's going on with Brandon He's
Speaker 3: not He's not a happy camper, which causes friction. It
Speaker 3: calls a little bit of back and forth. So I
Speaker 3: think the Jets are Jets a plan at the right time.
Speaker 3: First game of the year, when the forty nine ers
Speaker 3: don't necessarily know what they are yet. I think it's
Speaker 3: the first it's it's an opportune time to play them. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's opportune time for a comebacks.
Speaker 5: Before they get rolling one, no doubt does anyone have
Speaker 5: to see him tall the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: There you go, But that's that's a that's a really
Speaker 4: good point about Trent Williams holding out.
Speaker 2: How you Calding green Law is no longer there.
Speaker 5: We're trying to figure it out. I'm doing actually their
Speaker 5: preseason game against the Saints. So there you go, get
Speaker 5: some good info.
Speaker 4: See how we do.
Speaker 1: So hopefully by the time this errors, maybe it Son
Speaker 1: Reddick is back at one Jets rival.
Speaker 4: I have to see it all like that. That'd be
Speaker 4: big for the D line.
Speaker 1: What yeah, yeah, it's always great.
Speaker 4: I think Williams and Johnson would appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Come on back there, thanks folks.
