WEBVTT - Jets OTA Practice Update (6/2) 0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:06.559 Welcome to another edition of the Official Jet podcast. The 0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:09.039 Jets Right Now and going through their off season program. 0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:11.280 There are no T A, S, E A and I. 0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:13.039 Basically what we're gonna do is kind of give a 0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:15.880 snapshot of what's been going on before Mini campits and 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:18.439 then there's kind of a hiatus, a one month break 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:20.799 for players and coaches to do what they want and 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:25.400 rest up, recover, recharge, and also continue to work out 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:28.640 before training camp. Is today the day when it is 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.760 officially a hundred days from the beginning of the two 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:35.280 thousand one NFL season, it is it is the first game, 0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:39.760 which is what Bucks Cowboys Thursday Night special right Tampa, Right, 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:42.080 so you know the Buccaneers are coming here this year 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:44.560 to face the Jets, and they have never beaten the 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:46.519 Jets on the road. I did not know that. I 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:48.479 also know that the Jets have never beaten the Eagles, 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.680 but to have an opportunity to do so this season. 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.320 But with that being said, oh T S is like, 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:57.680 it's an interesting time because it's the first grasp of 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:02.120 football for the fans, especially the new players on each team, 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.040 and like for the Jazz of course that starts with 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:06.640 Zack Wilson just because of the nature of the position 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.280 he plays. You think about the free agent editions, but 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.720 it's twofold one, it's a voluntary workout, and two players 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.120 are not in PAD, So there's only so much that 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:19.880 you can really put into these workouts. Yeah, but the 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.640 great thing if you're Robert Sale and you're Joe Douglas 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.160 is that you've had more than eight players participating here 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.760 early in o T as of ten sessions, and all 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.880 three or four now are open to the media. There 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:36.160 is UH to this week actually that are going to 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.960 be open to the media. So you want to see 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:45.920 players uh contributing or participating. While this is not mandatory, 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.240 mandatory minicamp is gonna come at the end of his day, 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.200 at the end of the spring here, well, I guess 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.480 we're closing in a summer. But if you're the Jets, 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.840 you're encouraged by guys coming out. We'll taking advantage of 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:01.560 their opportunities beyond the field, because let's face it, you 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:03.960 got a new head coach, you got new systems on 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:10.240 both sides of the football. You have a really big 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.480 time infusion of talent on both sides of the ball. 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.280 But there's a lot of new here, so as much 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.880 field time as you can take advantage of here in 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.919 the spring, your figures to help you come September, October 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.760 and beyond, and the attendance in the voluntary workouts, I 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.240 think it's been outstanding. I mean, I know Robert Salis 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.480 said that the Jets had over eighty players here in 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.880 Flora Park. I mean, there's only ninety on the roster 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:36.280 right now, and I feel like that is not the 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.480 norm in the NFL right now. I mean, granted, I 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.000 don't know the numbers for all thirty one other teams, 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.320 but it seems like the Jets are on the higher 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:46.760 end of attendance than most. I think there are a 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.440 lot of teams who probably have numbers in a similar range. 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.320 But I think what you're hearing from players when they 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:58.359 do get the opportunity to speak of Robert sala Is, 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.440 they love the guy, they love the culture that he's instilling, 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.080 and they want to be part of it. Yeah. I 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.919 think that you can also feel it on the field. 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.760 I mean, there is definitely an energy, and you know, 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.280 some might say that's just because it's spraying and guys 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.320 miss playing ball, but I really feel like in the 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:18.840 few amount of times that we've been out at practice 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.680 so far that the pace has been there, the energy 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:24.800 has been up, and I think that a lot of 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:28.680 guys are really eager to get after it. And you know, 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:30.840 I just want to focus on Zach Wilson for a minute. 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.520 And he's a good example of a guy that one 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:37.120 learning a lot right now because he's learning a new offense, 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.600 even though it does have its similarities to what he 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:43.400 ran at b y U. And for all intents and purposes, 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.840 we'll recording this at the beginning of June. I would 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.480 say that he's looked good and doesn't look like he's 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:53.520 lost in the playbook. No, And the Jets continue to 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:58.120 say they've been almost wild by his mental horse power. 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:02.000 Michael Fleur was referring to it the other day, is 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:06.720 that you can't keep him away. He wants more. And 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:11.000 to his credit, Wilson was twenty one years old. Talks 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.920 about this being a process and that he has to 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:18.719 get protections right and alignments and executions and then you 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:22.200 have to read the defense. But as far as what 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.400 we've seen on the field in this very small sample size, 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:29.479 he's a tremendous athlete. He's very accurate with the football 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:31.960 and the ball is not hit the ground a lot. 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.760 Now these guys are not out there with pads on. 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:40.360 Nobody's hitting him. Um but so far and there's not 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.440 like a true rush either. I think that's important, right right, 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.880 But with that being said, it's not like he's holding 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.480 onto the football. It's not like he's completing the past 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:54.839 five seconds after he takes that snap. He's letting the 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:58.000 ball come out. It's coming out quickly. We talked about 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.520 his arm angles for months. He can do that from 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.320 different arm angles, but you know, he can sit up 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.120 there in the pocket and just let it loose. And 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.560 we've seen a number of times, i think early here 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.599 throughout O T A S and we've only been out 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.760 there a couple of times, is that he's been very 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.440 good working the middle of the field, the seams. And 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:25.919 then we've heard about the back shoulder prowis throughout his 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.080 days at b y U. Well, we were out there 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.680 on the field today and it seems like every day 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:34.720 at practice he'll throw a back shoulder and you're like, well, there, yeah, 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:38.320 there it is. You know in a sequence though, you know, 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.599 let's say he took five reps just spit ball in 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.599 here and one of the reps was the back shoulder fade. 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.160 Then a couple of plays later you talked about work 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.480 in the middle of the field. He threw a rope 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.560 to Bracks and Barrios who was cutting over the middle 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.080 of the field and it hid him right between the 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.640 numbers and stride and You're like, oh, well, there's the power. 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:57.880 There was the touch. We still haven't seen him like 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:01.200 on cork one down the field really far, but I'm 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.360 sure that will, you know, come with time. The other 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.200 thing that I was impressed with, and you know, we 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.080 kind of said something to each other on the field, 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.920 was he got somebody on a on a cadence call 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.719 where he got a defender to jump. And to me, 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:16.560 you know, when Robert Sala talked about coaching how there's 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.919 one on one, two oh one, three oh one, it 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:23.279 seems like Zack Wilson when he got the defender to jump, 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:25.760 that was more of a two oh one, three oh 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.200 one move as opposed to a one on one move. Yeah, 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.560 you gotta give him credit. You gotta give Michael Fleur credit. 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:36.800 Greg Knapp is constantly in his ear. He just has 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:40.760 a way about him that you like Zach Wilson. He's 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:46.080 got this confidence. But people talking about him being cocky. 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:47.880 I don't know if he's cocky. He's got a belief 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:51.440 in his ability, but man, he's got an insatiable appetite 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:55.760 for football. Yeah, they they say that he can't get enough. 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.360 And he's taken advantage of all these voluntary sessions right now, 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:03.360 and yeah, so far, early results have been good. We 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.800 got a long way to go before you get to September. 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.400 A lot of moving parts on both sides of the ball. 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.240 You mentioned more than eighty players being here. Well, I've 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.600 got a couple of key offensive performers we didn't see 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:17.760 on the field the other day. And you know, he'll 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:21.400 have to establish that chemistry and rhythm with those guys. 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:25.680 But he likes the offense too. And you talk to 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.240 people and he said that on draft night that this 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.480 is the place I wanted to be, And he talks 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:37.400 about it being complimentary, that you can run multiple things 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.760 from one look. So we'll come out in this look 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:42.840 and we're gonna attack you this way on this down 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.480 that we're gonna come at you with the same look 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.880 and we're gonna attack you a different way the next play, 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.560 and he loves it. I also think that it's a 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:55.480 defensively speaking, unrelated to Zach Wilson, it's hard to really 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.680 get a feel because so much of the defense is 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:02.280 predicated on cal Tech and you can't really contact anybody 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:04.800 right now. So it's a it's a good way to 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:08.320 get a look at certain players, but most at least 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:10.440 for me, the way I look at it. At it 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:15.239 it's a lot easier to see how certain offensive players 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.840 look than defensive players because it's not like the defensive 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:21.040 line is going after the offensive line. The linebackers can't 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.360 tackle the running back, so now you're really relying on 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.560 seven on seven work. And at this point, you know, 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:31.760 I would imagine that the defense overall would have the 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:35.080 the upper hand, just like every spring and summer, But 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:38.439 it definitely feels like in seven on seven the offense 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.640 gets the best out of the defense most of the time. 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.040 And I with that being said, I just want to say, 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.760 Keelan Cole look also look pretty good today. Fast quick 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:51.640 uh he releases um on a dime out of his 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:56.880 brakes right, very productive receiver in Jacksonville. He's the guys 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:01.480 flashed early because um, you know, we haven't seen a 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.960 couple of guys out there. But again that speaks to 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:09.200 Zack Wilson as well, because he's finding Keenland cole but 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.160 eight in a limited time that weep on out there, 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.040 but work in the middle of the field catching it 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:18.880 and he's quick, but he's got the straight ahead speed too. Yeah, 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:22.600 So it's been it's been fun to watch practice because 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.520 this is the one time or not the one time, 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:26.760 but this is the beginning of the time of the 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:28.960 year where you can start to go out to practice 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.120 a couple of times and then many Camp you get 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:34.120 a little three day stretch before training camp. Then we're 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.440 out there like every day, and you know, it's hard 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:40.160 because I feel like fans are starving to know what's 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:45.320 happening at practice. But it's also difficult to analyze what's 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:49.240 going on just because it's not full speed with pads 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:52.200 on and you don't want to blow things out of proportion, 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:56.160 right Like for example, Michael Carter had a good run 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.920 today and it's a no contact run where the off 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.760 fensive line started cheering because Carter hit the hole and 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:04.760 there was a hole and he he he had a 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.199 nice run. But it's also tough because it wasn't there 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.280 was no contact, so it's hard to really get a 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:13.199 full gauge. So if you're a fan and you're listening like, well, 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:18.120 how's player X performing? If we say like this guy 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.680 is performing well or not well or whatever, you always 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:22.040 got to take it with a grain of salt. There 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:23.840 was a player a couple of years ago had a 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.960 great spring that ended up being cut that after training 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.520 camp because when the pads come on, it's a totally 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.840 totally different story. Well, and didn't Sala say this the 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.640 other day that this is the opportunity for players to 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:40.360 see how their physical skill set fits inside the systems. 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:44.400 The jets are running and the real football doesn't happen 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:47.800 until you actually do put those pads on it, and 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:51.120 that doesn't come until late July. Right now, for these guys, 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:55.400 it's absorbing the system and then also seen how they 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.200 can carve out a role in the respective systems. Yeah, 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.360 it's it's a great point because is to use solids 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.680 line training camp is when it becomes real. Like up 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:06.880 until that point, it's it's not that it's fake, it's 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.800 just it's more about applying what you learn in the 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.360 virtual classroom onto the field day by day, piece by 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.080 piece before trying to put it all together and really 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.400 start to lay the foundation in training camp or build 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.400 on the foundation that's being laid now in training camp. 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:24.480 And I think some of the key questions right now, 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.520 if you're sitting here in the middle of O t 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:32.200 A S would be what are the Jets doing on 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.640 the quarterback front? Are they gonna sit tight here with 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.840 the young guys, you know, Zack Wilson, We'll have to 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:42.080 see they're taking a day by day Will you be 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.760 the opening day starter in Carolina? Even if he is 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.960 the opening day starter. Will there be a veteran on 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.240 the horizon right now? I think the Jets are taking 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.480 the proper approach because you get a guy like James 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.760 Morrigan who was rafted in a fourth round a year ago. 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.640 He's getting valuable reps. If you had a veteran here 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.520 right now, I don't know how those reps would be 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:07.400 distributed distributed in the spring. Yeah, I think well to 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.680 that point, Solid kind of talked about that exact scenario 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:14.080 with the cornerbacks because he was asked, how how do 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.120 you view or how do you like the corners room? 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.120 And he was saying, well, they're young, they got length, 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:21.360 they got size, they're eager to learn. And so he's 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.920 saying all these things, and and he was asked point blank, 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:27.000 you know, would you consider or Actually, before he was 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.320 even asked this, Sala said, the easy answer would be 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.360 to bring in a veteran, but a veteran would eat 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:34.880 up a lot of the reps. And they're trying to 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.840 evaluate these young guys to see where they stand. And 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.880 right now, the Jets cornerback room, I would say is 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:46.960 the most NFL unproven among the team. If not, if 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:48.800 it is not the number one position on the team 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.440 that doesn't have the most you know, I would say 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.080 the biggest resume as a group in the NFL. On 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.839 the Jets, then I would say they're in the top 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:00.400 two or three at the very latest. And that's a 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.600 fair point. And again you're taking an advantage of these 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:05.920 o t a s out here. You're Blessed Aus and 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:09.839 your Bryce Hall, you're Javlin Gidrey, you are the three 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.720 rookie corners who were taking on Day three of the draft. Again, 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:18.360 this is the time, especially for those young guys, those rookies, 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.040 is that not only are they trying to carve a 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.640 role on the defensive side of the football. But what 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:27.400 can they do for brand Boyer and company? How are 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:31.760 they absorbing his system? How can they contribute on special teams? 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:33.720 Because I think sometimes we think about these guys in 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.280 a vacuum that, oh, what is this guy gonna do 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.440 at the cornerback position? Well, what is he gonna do 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.040 on special teams? Justin hard He's a guy carved his 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.640 role in the National Football League because he's a special 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.400 teams ace. Yes, he lines up with the cornerback, but 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:48.600 we don't know if he's gonna be playing any cornerback 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.400 at all this year. Um, you know, I'm not trying 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.240 to get ahead of myself, but Hardy is a perfect 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:58.040 example of a guy who is an NFL mainstay now 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:00.280 and he's gonna play a big time role on this 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.280 team because of what he does on teams. Right, I'm 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.120 not I'm not gonna I'm about to say a name 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.440 and people and people would be like, well, how could 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.120 you compare Justin Hardy to this guy. I'm just using 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:16.960 the example of a player that carved his special team's 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.120 role to a point where he doesn't even play on 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.680 either offense or defense and it's in the division. It's 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:25.280 Matthew Slater, who was probably what the best special teams 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:29.440 player of the last decade, and he's technically a receiver, 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:33.200 but he doesn't ever line up out wide. And it's 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.680 not like the Patriots this past year were so deep 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:41.000 at receiver that they didn't need him. So I'm saying, like, similarly, 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:45.200 Justin Hardy is listed on the roster as a cornerback, 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.880 but he is so good at special teams that that's 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:53.120 his full time position. Yeah, uh, you know, so a cornerback. 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.200 And we started this conversation and we're jumping around a 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.800 little bit, but rightfully, so away is that? Okay? So 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.680 right now you have three quarterbacks on our roster who 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.240 have never taken a snap in the National Football League, 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:06.840 you know, as Zack Wilson getting out there getting a 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:10.320 big time chunk of reps. Then at the cornerback position, 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:15.040 there are some unproven commodities. But guys, the Jets like 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.560 their talent and physical skill sets, so how can they 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:23.920 absorb the system? Um, how can they possibly create a 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.440 role for themselves down the line? And then at the 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.760 linebacker position, totally different situation where you do have a 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:33.320 pair of young guys on the outside. But c J. 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.240 Mosley was the talk of O T A. S in 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:38.040 Week one, just because he talked to the media for 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:41.960 the first time in a long time. Really happy and 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:46.000 it was clear listening to Mosley that the fire still burns. 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:50.840 And I love the reference that he used, uh the 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:55.160 Curry borrow that you know, I don't have anything to prove, 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.400 but I believe I have a lot to accomplish. Don't 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.240 you think that he seemed a lot happier. I know 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.480 c J. Mosley has probably spoken to the media like 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.520 five to ten times since he signed two years ago, 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.400 but c J. Mosley speaking to the media just seemed 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.520 like he was He was very happy. He was in 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.640 a comfortable place, There's no doubt about it. So you 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.840 just got a sense that this guy is so happy 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:21.440 to be back on a football field. And Sala has 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.720 been effusive in his praise for him, saying that c. J. 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:26.760 Moseley can plain any system because I know a lot 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:30.560 of people say it, said, hey, what can he fit 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:32.520 in a four three? Well, Sala said he can fit 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:35.520 in anything, and you can see him being a powerful mover, 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.480 and I think he's such an instinctive football player, and 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:42.680 him and Jared Davis are two guys not that we're 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.240 just gonna watch during the spring, but I'm gonna keep 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:49.160 my eye on that linebacker position throughout training camp, right, 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:53.440 I agree, because that position, especially those two guys that 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.200 you said, really when you look at the whole position 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:59.960 as well, you could it's really like a two side 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.320 at a coin because on one end, C. J. Mosley 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:07.119 essentially hasn't played football in two seasons, but at his 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:09.560 best he is a very good player and one of 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:13.480 the best inside linebackers in the league. Jared Davis has 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:17.240 the physical traits to fit this system that Robert Sala 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.720 and Jeff Albrick are implementing. But at the same time, 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:22.800 a lot of people think he didn't quite live up 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:25.560 to the hype in Detroit, and some people attribute that 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.240 to being in a three four defense. Well, I guess 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:29.960 we'll see because it will be in the four three. 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:33.760 So those two guys in particular, along with Blake Cashman 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:37.080 who struggled to stay healthy throughout one season in his 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:40.399 two year career, and two rookies and Jamiean Sherwood and 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:45.120 Hobson Nosrel Dean, I mean that that position group has 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.199 I would say one of the bigger question marks around it, 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.760 but in the same breath, it could also be one 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:54.120 of the highest upside positions depending on how let's say 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:57.880 Mosley and Davis play. If you have C. J. Mosley 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:02.200 healthy for sixteen games, that that's really like what Jared 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:06.440 Davis brings to the table. From an athletic athleticism perspective. 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:10.280 Remember his second year in the National Football League, he 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:14.440 was a stat stuffer and he's a guy could come 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:18.560 up and play the run. He has an athleticism to 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:22.719 drop into coverage. He's been effective blitzer at various points 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:26.520 throughout his career and sometimes it changes scenery leads to 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:31.520 different results for players, and Davis is a guy who 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:34.440 I think can benefit not only just from playing under 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:37.440 Salo and all breaking next to a C. J. Mosley, 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:41.200 but also from the chaos that Salo wants to create upfront, 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:45.080 because the Jets defensive line is one of the better, 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.840 if not the best, positional group on this team. Yeah, 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.560 I definitely agree with that, and I think it'll be 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:56.160 interesting to see what happens because we've gotten a glimpse 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:59.239 of c. J. Mosley and it was what you know 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.560 to almost two quarters. But it was a really good 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.120 glimpse of what he could bring to the team because 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:08.560 that was, in his words, one of, if not the 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:10.919 best football game he's played in the NFL. I mean, 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:13.879 he was everywhere, and you talk about his pass coverage. 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.000 I feel like a lot of people when he signed 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.600 here was saying, well, you know, pass coverage is one 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.720 of the question marks of his games. And he was 0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:25.800 running stride for stride with John Smokey Brown when he 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:28.560 got hurt. And John Brown is a speedster in the 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:31.440 eyes of many. Well, another thing is that he knows 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.000 how offenses are trying to attack. Yeah, that's the thing 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:38.240 about mostly such a hetty ball player, so he oftentimes 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:41.480 is going to read your route before you start making 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:44.639 your own moves. He can pick up things tendencies just 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:47.840 from film work. And uh he's also very long, and 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:50.760 that's gonna help him in coverage as well. So the 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:54.399 shakedown defensively, Yeah, those are gonna be two groups that 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:56.800 we're gonna keep a close eye on. I think throughout 0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:02.080 camp will be cornerbacks and then linebackers. Offensively, it's been 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:05.680 interesting to watch the running backs um here early on 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:09.960 because Tevin Coleman this is just spring and he's a veteran, 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:12.439 but he's got some pop to his game. And another 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:17.520 guy who's got some legit explosive ability is the running 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.480 back from North Carolina, Michael Carter. Yeah, he does well. 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:22.679 Like I said earlier, Michael Carter, it might have been 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:25.720 a no contact run, but he really hit that whole hard. 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:29.719 And Michael Flore speaking of the media the other day, 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:35.119 was saying that I was saying that basically one of 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:37.600 the key elements and running backs that he looks for 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:40.960 is playing your foot in the ground and go north 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:42.760 and south, not a whole lot of dancing. And I 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:46.520 feel like we knew that when Michael la Flour first 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:49.320 signed on to be the offensive coordinator. But at the 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.399 same time, Michael la Flore also said, while that's a 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:56.160 key element and maybe like the common denominator of everybody, 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:58.880 all the running backs come in different shapes and sizes, 0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:00.520 and I think the Jets have a little bit of 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:02.960 everything in the running backs room right now. In terms 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:05.640 of Tevin Coleman, like you said, it is the spring 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:08.040 and he knows this system better than anyone else in 0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:10.879 that room. But he's really light on his feet and 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:15.080 it seems like he gets around very quickly and he 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:18.040 almost just kind of glides on the field, whereas someone 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:21.720 like Michael p Ryan feels like he's got a little 0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:25.040 bit of more of like a heavy footed run, like 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:28.959 both good running backs and Michael p Ryan can plant 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:30.840 his foot and go, but it just feels a little 0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:33.200 bit different, feels a little more physical of a runner 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:36.879
