Speaker 4: I can't complain everything as well. I love coming back

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 4: to the building. Brings me back, you know, So those

20
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 4: are always great memories.

21
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 3: All right.

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: So from a player's perspective, when the schedule is released,

23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: do you pay any attention to it?

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 4: Just a little bit, you know? Everybody's different. I'd say

25
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 4: for myself, I think back to like twenty sixteen, we

26
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 4: play the Chiefs and we play the forty nine Ers,

27
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 4: if I'm not mistaken, and those two games are important

28
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 4: to me because I grew up a Chiefs fan, and

29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 4: then my family's from California, so I'm like, okay, where

30
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 4: am I going to see my family? So I just

31
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 4: had to make sure I knew when that time was coming.

32
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: All right. You guys are creatures of habit, though, do

33
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: you ever look at the times of games or travel

34
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: Because for the Jets from their perspective, this year thirteen

35
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: one o'clock games, not many travel miles either, about half

36
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: of them one trip to London.

37
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I think that's definitely a big part of it.

38
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: You know.

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 4: I think you love the Pride Time game just because

40
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 4: you get more eyes on you. But it's always good

41
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 4: to get a one o'clock game. Then you get your nights,

42
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 4: you know, to recover, and it's not so late, right,

43
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 4: so you get to play the game, you get to

44
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 4: do your work, and then you get to go home

45
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 4: and enjoy yourself obviously after a win.

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: So what was your game day prep like? If you

47
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: knew a one o'clock game was on the rise, because

48
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: that's where the Jets are gonna start at the friendly

49
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: confines of MetLife Stadium week one against the Steelers and

50
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: then week two against the Buffalo Bills.

51
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: It was pretty simple. You know.

52
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 4: Obviously I would wake up. I tried to wake up

53
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 4: before breakfast so I can kind of get my mind

54
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 4: ready for the day. Go down to get breakfast, you know,

55
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 4: go over any notes I need to have, watch a

56
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 4: little bit of film, and then from there, you know,

57
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 4: I'm at the stadium probably as early as possible. You know,

58
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 4: if it's in away game, then you have certain busses

59
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 4: that will leave at certain times, but if it's a

60
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 4: home game, you could just drive there. So I try

61
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 4: to get there pretty early. Because what's pretty early, I

62
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 4: want to say like ten, maybe around there, nine thirty,

63
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 4: just so I can kind of I like to So

64
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 4: what I like to just get here is early. I

65
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 4: mean you saw me say I guy here early. I

66
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 4: don't always like to do that.

67
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're taking a nine ques already on the staircase

68
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: at eight fifteen saying where the hell is everybody?

69
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 4: So you know, I like to get early and just

70
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 4: kind of get comfortable, you know, so I like to

71
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 4: walk on the field, you know, just kind of look

72
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 4: at the bleachers, look at the sign, like I don't know,

73
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 4: I like to ground myself in the place that I'm at.

74
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: All right, So, holistically, thirteen one o'clock games, two prime

75
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: time games for the Jets. Your thoughts in terms of

76
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: the change and maybe what the league expects from the

77
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: team this year.

78
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 4: I mean, to be honest with you, let's just talk

79
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 4: about ag I think it's exactly what he wants, right, Like,

80
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 4: he'ss not looking at a season like we've had the

81
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 4: last couple of years, where it's so many primetime games,

82
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 4: so much attention. I think this is exactly what they're

83
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 4: looking for. Less eyes on them, so they can just

84
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 4: kind of work, right. Those one o'clock games will have

85
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 4: just kind of the local people and anybody wants to

86
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 4: tune into a Jets game. And so for the team,

87
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 4: it's like, okay, you know, we don't have as much expectation,

88
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 4: but that's okay because we can come from the bottom

89
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 4: and really show what we're capable of.

90
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: How about the storylines there in Week one? The Jets

91
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: and the Steelers have never met in a season opener.

92
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: Justin Fields is new here the QB one for the

93
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: Green and White. He signs an offseason. He was the

94
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: starter for the Steelers last year, appeared in ten games,

95
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: started six, but after leading the Steelers to a four

96
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: and two start, they gave the keys to Russell Wilson.

97
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: He signs, Field signs with the Jets and free agency,

98
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: and now his first start with the Jets comes against

99
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: the Steelers.

100
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

101
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 4: I mean there's going to be a lot of storylines there, obviously,

102
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 4: and I think the biggest one for him will be

103
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 4: the emotional part of it. I think you think about

104
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 4: this is his first game as a starter for the

105
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 4: New York Jets and it's against your former team. I

106
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 4: don't think there's any animosity for him against but I

107
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 4: know from what he's spoken about, they didn't let him

108
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 4: be his best self at quarterback, right. There was a

109
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 4: little bit of they didn't have confidence in him to

110
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 4: be the starter. They didn't give him the reins to

111
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 4: just go ahead and do everything he wanted to do.

112
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 4: So I think he wants to go out there and

113
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 4: show like, this is what I'm capable of. And one

114
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 4: thing I like about ag is that He's putting a

115
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 4: lot of confidence in his coaches, so we're gonna see

116
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 4: hopefully the best version of him because they're going to

117
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 4: coach him hard.

118
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: What do you think feels is capable? This is his

119
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: third team, obviously drafted by the Chicago Bears' number eleventh

120
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: overall back in twenty twenty one, then traded to the Steelers.

121
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: This is his fifth season coming up.

122
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's crazy to think about that,

123
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 4: but I think you know, we've seen what he's done, right,

124
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 4: He's done something that maybe only I think two other

125
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 4: quarterbacks have done in the running game as a quarterback.

126
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 4: So that's amazing, right. His legs are elite. Right now,

127
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 4: we've got to see a little bit more of his arm.

128
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: I know that he can throw the ball. He has

129
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 4: some issues with accuracy at times, but I think what

130
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 4: we're going to see here is the ability to add

131
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 4: in the play action pass right, So that'll give him

132
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 4: the opportunity to make those quick passes like you think

133
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 4: about like tool right, Like their offense is so quick.

134
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 4: He's an accurate quarterback, but they also don't make him

135
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 4: think too much. It's just kind of getting the ball

136
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 4: out of there. I kind of want to see that

137
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 4: a little bit with him and allow him to use

138
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 4: his legs really be a dual threat, because then it'll

139
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 4: kind of put a little pressure on the defense.

140
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: Do you like the Jets overall starting at home though,

141
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: in front of their fans, You know that atmosphere is

142
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: gonna be crazy because those Pittsburgh fans travel pretty well themselves.

143
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: That's the national brand Jets Steelers.

144
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I think so. I think that first home game,

145
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 4: or that first game being a home game is deep

146
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 4: because you know, you want to get that fan base

147
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 4: kind of on your side early, right, and so when

148
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 4: you can get that, when you go out on the

149
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 4: field and everybody's cheering.

150
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 3: For you, you.

151
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 4: Know, there's so much more excitement. Now on the other

152
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 4: side of it. I do love playing the villain, you know,

153
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 4: I don't mind going to it in an away game

154
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 4: and everybody's kind of booing you. But it's something about

155
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 4: everybody cheering you as an entertainer that feels pretty good.

156
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: All right. Who's going to be the Pittsburgh Steelers starting

157
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: quarterback in Week one? Huh? Is it a guy who

158
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: started seventeen games for the Jets last year?

159
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 3: That's that?

160
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 4: It could be. I mean, I wouldn't put it past him,

161
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 4: but you know again, I don't.

162
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 3: I don't know.

163
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 4: It's hard to tell, Like you really don't know what

164
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 4: he's thinking. Obviously, we you know, we've we've we've dealt

165
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 4: with that, so we are going to see. It's getting

166
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 4: down to the wire, right He's starting to start. OTA's

167
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 4: you know, you kind of want to be in there

168
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 4: getting used to your guys, getting used to the system.

169
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 4: So I guess we're gonna find out if he goes

170
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 4: there otherwise makes the Rudolph exactly that that would be

171
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 4: the next guy.

172
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: I love it from the perspective of yes Fields against

173
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: the Steelers, the Moujik Glenn era gets underway at home.

174
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: Maybe Aaron Rodgers is facing his former team, the Jets.

175
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: But how about the jets vastly improved offensive line. You

176
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: got some depth pieces you draft ar My Membu is

177
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: gonna be competing for that right tackle spot against the

178
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: defensive line that starts with TJ. Watt, one of the

179
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: better defensive players in the National Football Cam Hayward's still there.

180
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: They drafted Derek Harmon in the first round as well.

181
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: This is a defense that gets after you and you know,

182
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: the Jets offensive mentality is going to be completely different

183
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: than it was last year when they were thirty second

184
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: in the National Football League in terms of rush attempts.

185
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: The Jets are going to try to win at the

186
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. And you know, the Steelers played bullie

187
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: ball themselves.

188
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 4: Yes, And one thing that we didn't talk about is,

189
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 4: you know, last year that wasn't the best game for

190
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 4: the Jets against the Steelers. But one thing I do

191
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 4: remember was Garrett Wilson had a pass that you know,

192
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 4: bounced off his chest. I know he's going to want

193
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 4: to come back. And now he's got his guys quarterback

194
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 4: they got exactly right, exactly He's gonna want to come

195
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 4: back and kind of prove that you know, this is

196
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 4: not you know, you guys are gonna play me at

197
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 4: my best self, right, And now I have my guy

198
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 4: from college. That synergy there is going to be amazing

199
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 4: for him. I think when you think about having a

200
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 4: guy that you got a chance to really become who

201
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 4: you were in college, now you get to go out

202
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 4: here and show that this is who he's capable of.

203
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 4: I think he's going to want to show that justin

204
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 4: fields is that as well. So it's gonna be a

205
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 4: great showing for that first game.

206
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: Steelers got a big weapon on the outside and all

207
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: season Tk Metcalf, but then they just traded George Pickens

208
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys.

209
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you thought it was gonna be a

210
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 4: little one two punch, but I guess they got tired.

211
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, I don't know Pickett or Pickings personally,

212
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 4: but there's a lot of talk on the outside about,

213
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 4: you know, his attitude and stuff like that. So we

214
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 4: know that Tomlin is a guy that can deal with

215
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 4: some personalities, but it seems like they kind of recent

216
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 4: end of his lease.

217
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: I guess, all right, so quickly we're gonna go through

218
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: every game and then I'm going to ask see it

219
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: for a record for this.

220
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 3: Let me make sure I see this go ahead, all right?

221
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: So second game, Buffalo, that's a team that's won the

222
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: division the last five years. Josh Allen coming off in

223
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: MVP type season. So from your perspective now in the

224
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: media world, does that put a little bit of extra

225
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: on that home opener where you like to get at

226
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: least one in your pocket before you to the road.

227
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: In Week three against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, not saying

228
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: you can't beat the Bills. Yeah, but we'll follow on paper,

229
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: probably the more complete team than the Steelers.

230
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 4: And you know what's you know what's wild about that

231
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 4: is last year there's a lot of question marks on Buffalo,

232
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 4: especially in the receiver room, like they don't have anybody.

233
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 4: You know, they just lost Diggs and you know those

234
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 4: guys stepped up, so you know, now they have Elijah Moore,

235
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 4: it's gonna be a challenge. You think about those two

236
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 4: games that the Jets played against them last year. You know,

237
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 4: it wasn't exactly the best. Josh Allen did some ridiculous things,

238
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 4: So you definitely want to get that win. It's a

239
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 4: divisional game, but the first game is definitely gonna be

240
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 4: a win you're gonna want because that second game is

241
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 4: gonna be a battle.

242
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Bills have won the last five AFC Eastern titles.

243
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: Week three going to Tampa. So Todd Bowles down there,

244
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: former Jets head coach. He was Aaron Glenn's positional coach,

245
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: both here with the Jets and later with the Dallas Cowboys.

246
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: How about this queue, Tampa is the only team in

247
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: the NFL he's made the playoffs in each of the

248
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: past five seasons, so quietly, just very consistent down there.

249
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: And if you're looking for a great story in terms

250
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: of a quarterback reclamation project, how about Baker Mayfield. So

251
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: Jets fans can look at Mayfield and say, hey, maybe

252
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: we got a different type player here with the physical

253
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: skill set. But Justin Fields is twenty six. His story's

254
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: not over by any.

255
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 4: Means at all, and I think that age is definitely

256
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 4: looking at that, right, He's looking at a guy like

257
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield. Obviously we talk all the time about Donald,

258
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 4: we talk all the time about Geno, but Mayfield is

259
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 4: another guy, you know, And I think that's something that

260
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 4: you want to look at and say, hey, listen, he

261
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 4: was coached this way. We put him in an environment

262
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 4: where he's successful. We gave him all the tools he needed,

263
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 4: and they're continue to give him tools.

264
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 3: Right.

265
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 4: They just drafted a Mecca a Buka. So yeah, I

266
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 4: think the Jets are looking at that mold and want

267
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 4: to do the same thing for Justin Fields.

268
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: Interesting challenge right away for the Jets secondary because you

269
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: mentioned a book Mike Evans just produces year and yeah, wow, crazy.

270
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're in the same Jeff guys. So see him

271
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 4: still going. I talked to him when we did the

272
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 4: joint practice, you know. So it's just cool to see

273
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 4: him continuing to be elite at a high level consistency,

274
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 4: like the model of consistency.

275
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: Wait, four Monday Night Football, Miami Dolphins. Yeah, so I'm

276
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: looking at the division and saying, hey, New England spend

277
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: a lot of money in free agency, a lot of

278
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: people really like their draft class. They got Mike Frable,

279
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: so they should be seeing it as a sending team.

280
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: I like what the Jets are doing here. Where does

281
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: Miami kind of fit in inside the division right now?

282
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 3: Yeah?

283
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 4: So that's it. That's a that's a good question. I

284
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 4: mean they've been in a little bit of a question

285
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 4: mark with two is health, right, So we're we're gonna see.

286
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 4: I know that there's another thing. Did they get rid

287
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 4: of Jayalen Ramsey or not? I know that was a

288
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 4: question mark, right, So that's another part there. Yeah, So

289
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 4: there's a lot going on there Tyreek Hill. So you

290
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 4: know they've got a lot. They got a cloud over them,

291
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 4: you know, So we're going to see how that looks

292
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 4: going into training camp and all those different things. How

293
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 4: does your team look this season. It's going to be different.

294
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 4: It's definitely going to be different. It's going to be

295
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 4: a little bit of a challenge for them to be

296
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 4: the team that we've seen at least two years ago.

297
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what's going to happen with Tyreek Hill now

298
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: that he's on the back half of his career when

299
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: we were talking about thirty years old. They did take

300
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: Kenneth Grant, the defensive tackle out of Michigan there in

301
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: the first round. We'll try to get some players back

302
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: that they lost the injury last year. You know, they've

303
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: always been very competitive with two is in the lineup.

304
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that Monday Night football earlier in

305
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: the year. From a player's perspective, what do you have

306
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: to do to get yourself ready for South Florida is anything?

307
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely.

308
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 4: I mean because it helps us game. It's a different heat,

309
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 4: but yes, the night game is going to be helpful.

310
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 4: I love I love the primetime games. Honestly, you know,

311
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 4: those are the opportunity for I always say this, like

312
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 4: NFL players were entertainers, right, this is an entertainment business,

313
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 4: and so when you go out there knowing that old

314
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 4: eyes are on you. Different level that comes out of you.

315
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 4: So that's gonna be a lot of fun to watch.

316
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 4: I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun to play

317
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 4: as well.

318
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: So two division games in the first four, you have

319
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo at home. You got the road game against the

320
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins the week four. Okay, let me throw a

321
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: couple games at you, all right, let's do it. America's team. Yeah,

322
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys coming back. That Dak Prescott returning from injury.

323
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: He's an elite player when he is healthy. We mentioned

324
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: Pickens before they got Cedee Lamb, so we got a

325
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: partner for Cedee Lamb Brian Schottenheimer now that head coach

326
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys. So it sets up like this.

327
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: Miami won in a football short week home against Dallas,

328
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: and then you're going across the pond where you're gonna

329
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: be the home team against Denver Broncos at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium.

330
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: And Denver is the team who's made the playoffs, it

331
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: made the postseason last year. Yeah, So first six games

332
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: you're playing four team teams that made the postseason last year.

333
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and week one Buffalo. In Week two, Tampa on

334
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: Week three, and then finally the Broncos in Week six.

335
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: The other two games are at Miami divisional rival went

336
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: eight to nine last year, and then the Cowboys, who

337
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: have a lot of talent themselves. So for me, this

338
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: six game stretch is awfully difficult.

339
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, But and I think that'll be something that

340
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 4: you talk about in the locker room. Is that or

341
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 4: excuse me, in the meeting rooms?

342
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 3: Is that? Listen?

343
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 4: Guys like these are some playoff teams, are teams that

344
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 4: made it to the playoffs last year, so we kind

345
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 4: of get to gauge who we are this year. Obviously

346
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 4: we have a whole new regime from the GM to

347
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 4: the head coach to the coaches in general, but you

348
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 4: kind of want to see, Okay, how do we measure

349
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 4: up to these teams that know what it looks like

350
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 4: to be in the playoffs.

351
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree with that. So after that game

352
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: against the Broncos, you come back home and you face

353
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, and that's followed by gas against Cincinnati

354
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: Bengals the Cleveland Browns and did I skip our bye here?

355
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: Then you have a Thursday night actually after the Bengals,

356
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: you have your buys. So the week nine by so

357
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: it's Carolina followed by the Cincinnati Bengals. Who listen, Joe

358
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,359
Speaker 1: Burrow and those receivers.

359
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, just pay those guys too.

360
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta get after them defensively though, Yeah, I

361
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: listen as far as the Jets are concerned.

362
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 4: That's why you drafted a corner and brought in another corner, right,

363
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 4: so you know you you you are ready for the

364
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 4: test this year.

365
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, But offensively, you know, when you're looking at Cincinnati Bengals,

366
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean the way you envisioned the Jets right now? Ye,

367
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: And I'm looking ahead the week nine on the schedule.

368
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: I know it's crazy, but I'm just saying from a

369
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: philosophical perspective, offensively, what do you think they want to be?

370
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 4: To be honest with you, I think they do want

371
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 4: to look like Detroit, you know. I think they're kind

372
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 4: of going in that mold. When you think about the draft,

373
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,239
Speaker 4: when they drafted Arion Smith, I knew they wanted a

374
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 4: speed guy, they wanted to burn it. They didn't have

375
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 4: anybody like that on the roster, And now Detroit had

376
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 4: a guy in Jamison William who's a little more than

377
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 4: just speed, but he does have the speed, and that's

378
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 4: something that they didn't have on the roster. So they

379
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 4: want to look similar to that. You know, you have

380
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 4: three great backs. Detroit had two really good backs, you know,

381
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 4: so it's very much in that mold. The one big

382
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 4: difference will be the quarterback and his ability to move. Now,

383
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 4: how are they going to switch there? Tanner Ainstran is

384
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 4: gonna have a little bit of a challenge because I

385
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 4: don't think he's had a quarterback that can move like him.

386
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 4: But that's a good challenge to have, you know. So

387
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 4: I'm excited to see how they can incorporate that.

388
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: Do you like fields as far as his opportunities in

389
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: the play action game if you get the run game gone,

390
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: because that's where Detroit completely excels. Yeah, where they started

391
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: dominating the line, pushing guys off the line of scrimmage

392
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: and then everybody was playing run and they go up top.

393
00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

394
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 4: And and one other extra piece that they had was

395
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 4: I talk about this repeatedly that they were a big

396
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 4: yak team too. So you know, you get that play

397
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 4: action pass and if you can't go deep, if you

398
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 4: can get it to somebody in the short shallow routes.

399
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 4: You know, you give him opportunity to make a big play.

400
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 4: They've got some guys that can do that for you.

401
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 4: So it should be a pretty big year. I really

402
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 4: want to see how Corley steps up this year, right

403
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 4: like being a draft pick last year not getting his opportunities.

404
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 4: This is an offense that is kind of catered to

405
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 4: his skill set. He's not an I'm mon Ross Saint

406
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 4: Brown receiver, but he can at least look at that

407
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 4: model and say, look, this is how I want to play.

408
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be fascinating because this is not

409
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: the coaching staff that was here when he was.

410
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 3: Drafted, not at all. That's always tough, but you.

411
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: Know, he basically had a red shirt year last Year's

412
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: second offense in as many years. But we should not

413
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: forget him, forget about him when we're talking about the receivers. Okay,

414
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: So after the buye Yah Cleveland at home, you have

415
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: a road game against the New England Patriots. That's Thursday night,

416
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: the New Patriots, and then you're coming back ten days

417
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: later and you face the Baltimore Ravens. So that's gonna

418
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: be a tough two games stretch on the road.

419
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely. In Cleveland, we don't even know, you know,

420
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 4: what they're gonna look like.

421
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 3: At quarterback.

422
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna be sure Sanders is gonna be Joe blackall

423
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: I know.

424
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 4: Now, I think when you look at the roster, I

425
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 4: would like to see shutter standards, But we don't know

426
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 4: what's gonna happen in that building. They got a lot

427
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 4: of guys there.

428
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: But in a stout defense Myles Garrett.

429
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 4: Well, they've had a great defense for a while, so

430
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 4: you know that that's that's no question there. You know,

431
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,479
Speaker 4: New England is a new that's a new team. Stephan

432
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 4: Dizzy at that point will probably be healthy enough to

433
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 4: beat Stephan Diggs, you know, so that'll be a different way.

434
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 4: You know, they'll have another weapon for their quarterback. And

435
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 4: then Baltimore is Baltimore. You know, so that's that's that's

436
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 4: a that's a that's a tough stress there.

437
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Baltimore. Lamar Jackson, he was not the MVP last year,

438
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: but he easily could have been the m v P.

439
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: And you're talking about a guy who man a dual threat.

440
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: They just resigned King Henry in the backfield, they continue

441
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: to load up on defense. I like that draft pick

442
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: of Malchai starts one of the tougher places to play

443
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: international football League. You mentioned Diggs before with New England

444
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: coming back from injury. Yeah, you like that pick up

445
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: for the Patriots.

446
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 3: I think it's a it's a good safe pick, you know.

447
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 3: I was.

448
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 4: I think that you want to give your guy as

449
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 4: many weapons as possible. You know, he ended up playing

450
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 4: pretty well done the stretch last year. You know, they

451
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 4: started off I think with Brissett, and then he came in.

452
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 4: He showed himself, he showed he showed that he's you know,

453
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 4: he's an adequate quarterback. So you know, you give him

454
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 4: some more weapons, you know. I think that was one

455
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 4: thing that was kind of missing for them last year.

456
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,479
Speaker 4: They didn't really have any weapons back there. So you know,

457
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 4: now he's got some receivers or he's got a receiver,

458
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 4: and I think they picked somebody else up as well.

459
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken, Yes they did.

460
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: I mean they made a ton of moves in offseasons.

461
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: So I also wanted to ask you about you mentioned.

462
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: You know, we're talking about Digs from a professional perspective

463
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: on the field. He was at the garden the other

464
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: night with Cardi b So.

465
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw that.

466
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, tis getting front row treatment.

467
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, in New York. We got to have our guys

468
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 3: out there, right, Yeah.

469
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: Well Fields has been the MSG a few.

470
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 3: Times, threw the ball around a little bit.

471
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, so let's keep on rolling with

472
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: the schedule. Here. We got through Baltimore and now we're

473
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: going to go to at the atl Yeah, narrowly missed

474
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs last season, but you bring them up here.

475
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: That's a team that plays inside. Yeah, here's a defensive

476
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: coordinator that knows you very well on Jeff Albrick.

477
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, right, knows the roster in and out at

478
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 4: this point, right outside of a couple of guys. Yeah, no,

479
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 4: that'll be an interesting game, especially because Obrick is coming

480
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 4: back here, right, So there's a good chance. One thing

481
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 4: that I noticed when he was the head coach is

482
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 4: that he now kind of took over a little bit

483
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 4: more of the defense, and they were blitzing a lot,

484
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 4: a lot, a lot more than they usually had. Whether

485
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 4: that's because of the people on the roster at the

486
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 4: time or because he felt like now he can do

487
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 4: a little bit more of what he wanted to do.

488
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 4: So you know, we're gonna have to watch out for that.

489
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 4: You know, you've got to make sure that you're prepared

490
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 4: that this guy might bring the house a little bit.

491
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: Did you like Panis Yeah? Yeah, on small samples last year.

492
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 3: You know, I liked it a little bit. I like,

493
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 3: I liked what I saw.

494
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 4: I didn't get to watch too much of them, but

495
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 4: it's got He's from the same area as I am.

496
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 3: Saw. You know, he already gets my support.

497
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: Drake London he's coming on too.

498
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, definitely.

499
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,479
Speaker 1: Okay, So after Atlanta, we run through a few games here. Yeah,

500
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: we're already into December. We got Jets at Jaguars Travis Hunter,

501
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: so he's gonna play on both sides of the ball.

502
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be seeing Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson?

503
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 3: I don't think.

504
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 4: I think you don't. You don't jump up to grab

505
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 4: him if you're not going to use him in that way.

506
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 4: You know, like they they they knew what they wanted

507
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 4: out of them. So I think there's going to be

508
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 4: you know, I think we're going to see some some

509
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 4: crazy stuff.

510
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: I skipped a return matchup with Miami because I was

511
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 1: going back and forth here. Yeah, yeah, so Atlanta. Then

512
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: you're home to Miami. That's a game where I circle

513
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: on the calendar and say, you have to win. Yeah,

514
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: you've won two in the past three at home against

515
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. You got them up here at your place

516
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: in December. It's a divisional matchup. I like holme serve

517
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 1: at home inside the AFC East. I just look at

518
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: that one. It's like, let's take care of business.

519
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 3: Definitely.

520
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 4: And last year you think about how they lost in

521
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 4: the overtime. You know, that's not something that you want

522
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 4: to relive.

523
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: So they didn't win at home in the season of Finelle.

524
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you got a little chip on your shoulder.

525
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 4: I didn't talk about that when we talked about them

526
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 4: in week four, but yeah, I think that's something to

527
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 4: think about.

528
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: So Jaggs, they got a first year head coach. So

529
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: when you're talking about these next couple of games coming

530
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: up December fourteenth and the twenty first, and even the

531
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: twenty eighth, if you want to include that into the Yeah,

532
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: Liam Coloran, Kellen Moore, Mike Rabel, they're all first year

533
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: head coaches with the respected franchises. Obviously, Vrabel a lot

534
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: of head coaching experience with the Tennessee Titans. But these

535
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: are all teams that are starting out or are in transition.

536
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: I would argue that the Patriots are further along than

537
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, and the Jaguars further along than the Saints.

538
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: Saints look like on paper, that could be a team

539
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 1: that has a top five pick next year.

540
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, they just lost Derek Carr too.

541
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know when you look at it though, since

542
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 4: we're talking about December, you know, at that point, you

543
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 4: think that you're a little bit more set in who

544
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 4: you are and who your identity is, so you would

545
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 4: hope that it's not You're not going through those oh

546
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 4: I got new coach mistakes at that point, I think

547
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 4: everybody will kind of be solidified and like, this is

548
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 4: who we are, this is our identity. But you never know,

549
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 4: you know, sometimes things just don't go to way you

550
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 4: want throughout the whole season.

551
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: So you think Hunter's playing both sides.

552
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 4: I think he's going to get opportunities to play both sides.

553
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 4: Is he going to play consistent like he did in college?

554
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 4: Dad is ridiculous in NFL, but he does it better. Man,

555
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 4: He's ridiculous as a corner. Yeah, Like some of the

556
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 4: plays he was making sitting in there. Yeah, there was

557
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 4: a couple of plays that he's that I watched him,

558
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 4: and it's like, that's like unguardable, I mean, excuse me,

559
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 4: undefendable in terms of a quarterback being able to read

560
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 4: that and know what to do.

561
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 3: Right.

562
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 4: The guy is so rangy at receiver, I think it'll

563
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 4: be easier for you to just kind of plug and

564
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 4: play him than it is on defense. So I think

565
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 4: personally I would put him on defense and they just

566
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 4: kind of plug and play him on offense.

567
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:39,239
Speaker 1: Okay, and then Jets Bills. That's a final game at

568
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo's old stadium, high Mark Stadium, after a fifty three

569
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: year run. So who knows what's going to be at

570
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: stake at that point? Yeah, last couple of years. I

571
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: don't even know if Buffalo has been playing for anything

572
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: in that final week, right, But you finish up the

573
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: season with two divisional games, prediction time.

574
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 3: Let's do it.

575
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,239
Speaker 4: So, Yeah, what I think, Yeah, to be honest with you,

576
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 4: I'm thinking about I think about the season. I think

577
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 4: about what the past few seasons seven and ten, seven

578
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 4: and ten, five and twelve, with high expectations, and now

579
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 4: this is a very similar roster. My hope is that

580
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 4: he can get nine and eight. Right, I'm looking at

581
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 4: nine and eight. I don't think I think they'll just

582
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 4: miss the playoffs. But I think if you talk about

583
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 4: a guy like ag who comes from such a successful

584
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 4: background in terms of being with the Lions, he knows what,

585
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 4: he knows what to expect, he knows what he wants

586
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 4: to see. This roster has the ability to be good

587
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 4: this first year. But I don't think they are make

588
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 4: a run through the playoffs just yet.

589
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 3: Now.

590
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 4: I've never been to the playoffs, right, so I really

591
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 4: don't know what it looks like personally, but I think

592
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 4: that it'll be tough to bounce back from where they

593
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 4: were and just be that team right now.

594
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: But nine and eight would be something very big to

595
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: build off for s year one hour program. Absolutely, when

596
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: you're trying to instill a new culture.

597
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and I think you know you talk about the

598
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 4: way the roster's built. One thing that I keep saying

599
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 4: is that he's really expecting a lot from his coaches, right.

600
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 4: He has a lot of confidence in his coaches. He

601
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 4: wants everybody to get the most out of his players.

602
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: Save your thoughts, yes, speak, We're going to take a break, yes,

603
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna come back and talk about the roster.

604

611
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: just mentioned a very important point when we were ending

612
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: our schedule discussion. Aaron the philosophy with his coaching staff elaborate.

613
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, So you know, I think he's expecting a lot

614
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 4: from his coaches. He wants them to get the most

615
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 4: out of his players. When you look at some of

616
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 4: the guys, whether it be the free agent acquisitions, right,

617
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 4: you talk about Cisco, you talk about Stevens, both guys

618
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 4: that everybody was like, oh, they didn't have great years

619
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 4: last year, right. Think you talk about Aaron Smith in

620
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 4: the draft, right, these are guys that you know, everybody's

621
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 4: talking about their flaws, right, But ag sees something out

622
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 4: of them, and I think every time he talks about them,

623
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 4: he acknowledges maybe that they didn't do what they wanted

624
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 4: to do last year, but also how talented they are underneath.

625
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 4: And so that's that's big on coaching. I think about

626
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 4: when I first got here, you know, there was a

627
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 4: lot of knocks on me, not being able to catch

628
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,479
Speaker 4: the ball, all these not being able to run routes right.

629
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 4: And I think one thing that really helped me was

630
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 4: good coaching, right, coaches that believed in you but also

631
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 4: knew how to get the technique out of you. So,

632
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 4: you know, I think he's really crafted a coaching staff

633
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 4: that can do that. Now this first year will be

634
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 4: the test to see if they're really capable of doing that.

635
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 4: But I'm looking forward to it because I think you

636
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 4: don't put this much confidence in these guys if you

637
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 4: don't believe in them.

638
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: All Right, you played receiver. You just mentioned some of

639
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: your experiences. Let's talk about a couple guys. We don't

640
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: have to go inside the entire group. We know what

641
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: Garrett can do. Yeah, that two spots hanging out there,

642
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: dangling out there for fans and they've been circling that. Yeah,

643
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: what do you see right now, as far as roster construction,

644
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: who should be the two early on?

645
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 3: Yeah?

646
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 4: So, I mean I think right now everybody's talking about

647
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 4: Alan Zard. He's been with a team longer. You know,

648
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 4: he's got more experience being in New York. But I

649
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 4: think Josh Reynolds will push him. I think there's the

650
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 4: reason why they brought him here. They know what he's

651
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 4: capable of. And I think he is of the two

652
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 4: more consistent receiver, right and that's one of the biggest

653
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,719
Speaker 4: things you want from me number two. Now, Alan Lazard

654
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 4: had a good showing the first few weeks before he

655
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 4: had that injury, and you know, that was a pretty

656
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 4: that was a pretty tough injury that he's not really

657
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 4: spoken on. But it's have to come back from that

658
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 4: and then go ahead and play at a high level again.

659
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 4: But I would say, if he can bring that out

660
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 4: and be consistent with that, and I think that's kind

661
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 4: of been the biggest question with Alan REZARTI is are

662
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 4: you going to be consistent. If he can do that,

663
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 4: he'll be the number two. But right now, what I've

664
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 4: seen from Josh Reynolds is he's capable of being at

665
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 4: number two.

666
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: Well, talk to us like one of the wide receiver role.

667
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: What do you like about reynolds game.

668
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I like one thing I've seen while watching

669
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 4: this film is that he's got consistent hands. He's able

670
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 4: to get open on slant routes. You see him win

671
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 4: multiple times in the red zone in the field. He's

672
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 4: able to do that. He can go up and get

673
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 4: the ball right. He just doesn't have that exceptional speed

674
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 4: and he doesn't have that exceptional leaping ability, but he

675
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 4: has those qualities that you need from a receiver that

676
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 4: shows like, Okay, this guy is a consistent receiver. That

677
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 4: The other side of it, though, is he didn't have

678
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 4: many special teams reps. And this is a guy that

679
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 4: was not fully on a roster all year and still

680
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,239
Speaker 4: didn't have a lot of special teams reps. So are

681
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 4: you going to be able to pull a lot that

682
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 4: pull that out of him? If not, then it's tough

683
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 4: to put him at the three. So that's why I say, Okay,

684
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 4: this guy is probably more of your two guy. He's

685
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 4: able to run the rouse for you, he's able to

686
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 4: get open, he can stress the field a little bit

687
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:03,239
Speaker 4: for you.

688
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 3: Just so that Garrett wasn't gonna come underneath.

689
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Smith can streuss the field a lot.

690
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 3: Oh yes, Aaron Smith is another guy really stretched.

691
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: Okay, so what does Sean Jay Shawn Joffres have to

692
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: work on with him? Is he attempts to make this

693
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: transition because we know what he can do and what

694
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: he struggled with because his speed, one of the faster

695
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: guys in the National Football League, probably entering his career.

696
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: But at the same time, the big knock on him

697
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: last year coming out of Georgia, we all know what

698
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: was the hints.

699
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is what I say.

700
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 4: I kind of did a little bit of research on him,

701
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 4: and one thing is that all four years he was there,

702
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 4: or at least the last four years Georgis had a

703
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 4: different starting quarterback, So you don't really have a guy

704
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 4: to grow with. And college is a position where some

705
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 4: guys play receiver in high school for maybe four years, right,

706
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 4: so you don't have a lot of you know, background

707
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 4: in the receiver position. So once you get to college,

708
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 4: you really want to have somebody that you can assistantly

709
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 4: grow with.

710
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 3: He didn't have that.

711
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 4: On top of the fact that he was also doing

712
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 4: track right like he was the All American in track.

713
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 4: So I think when you get a guy in the

714
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 4: building that you can now say, look, we're going to

715
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 4: focus on football and this is your quarterback, like really

716
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 4: get to know him and feel comfortable with him, you

717
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 4: can change everything. Like again, I'll bring in my own

718
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 4: experience in college. I had my senior year, I had

719
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 4: three different quarterbacks, right, so hands was tough for me

720
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 4: because I felt like I had the confidence to catch it.

721
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 4: But it's hard when you have three different quarterbacks and

722
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 4: you had to have confidence in those three guys. Sometimes

723
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 4: you lose confidence in yourself trying to figure out what's

724
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 4: going on so that may or may not be happening

725
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 4: to him. But I think with coaching right, you can

726
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 4: get these guys to focus on just being within yourself

727
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 4: and stop worrying about all those other things. But also

728
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 4: like all the other technique things that come with running around.

729
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: I have two questions about fields. Do you like the

730
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: dynamic that he played collegiately with Garrett, So there is

731
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: a relationship already there. I know it's a few years

732
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: ago when you go back to Ohio State, but it's

733
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: not like, Hey, we're meeting each other for the first time,

734
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: and can you speak to a wide receiver quarterback dynamic

735
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: because something struck me the other day that Aaron Glenn

736
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,719
Speaker 1: said about Justin he's just not going to speak to speak.

737
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: He will speak when he has to, and there's ways

738
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: of communicating. So can you speak to that dynamic those two? Yeah,

739
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: and also what you want from a quarterback that's your guy,

740
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: that's the leader, because what we're hearing about Fields is

741
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: he's really well respected and he can communicate quite well,

742
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean he's the most vocal dude in

743
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: the row.

744
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, honestly, like, one thing that I personally

745
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 4: appreciate about a quarterback is somebody's gonna get a little dirty,

746
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 4: and a guy that's running the ball is going to

747
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 4: have to get a little dirty, right, So I think

748
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 4: that gains your respect, right if you go out there,

749
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 4: you don't see anything there and you're gonna go get

750
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,479
Speaker 4: those tough yards, you know, and make those big plays.

751
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 4: Honestly like that, because everybody wants to see a football

752
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 4: player right like old school. As much as you love

753
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 4: having a quarterback that can go out there and sling it, like,

754
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 4: I love to see guys that just love to play football,

755
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 4: right like whether or not. You could throw it, you

756
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 4: could go out there and play. So personally that's a

757
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 4: big plus for me. But in terms of just that

758
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 4: relationship with having a guy from college, like man, college

759
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 4: is like it's so different from me even the NFL

760
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 4: because you're just so close to people, right, like you know,

761
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 4: sometimes you be in the same dorms or all these

762
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 4: different things. It's just you don't have your outside family.

763
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 3: Everybody.

764
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 4: Your family is the team. So that's a relationship that

765
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 4: goes long past college. So I think no matter what,

766
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 4: they're gonna have that relationship and it's gonna be good

767
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 4: just to kind of go out there and have that together.

768
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: On the other side of the ball. Quickly, you mentioned

769
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: Cisco and Stevens before they also took a z Thomas

770
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: Yep in the third round on of Florida State. Do

771
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: you like what Aaron's saying here in terms of what

772
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 1: he wants from his cornerback, from a guy who played

773
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 1: the receiver position, because we're seeing the prototype that he wants.

774
00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: He wants big dudes on the outside, physical, their hands

775
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: on people and can play man.

776
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely.

777
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 4: I mean I think when he on the draft call,

778
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 4: he told him the choke guys or something like that. Right,

779
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean, listen, he's got a guy that

780
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 4: he can model his game after and sauce a guy

781
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 4: that he can really learn a lot from. But one

782
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 4: thing I saw about Az is that he's a long,

783
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 4: physical guy. He loves to get his hands on guys.

784
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 4: And you know, he may not have the speed, I

785
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 4: think that's one thing that people were talking about. But

786
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 4: if you can slow down the route, that's huge. I mean,

787
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 4: the biggest thing is timing with the receivers in the quarterback.

788
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 3: So if you're.

789
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 4: Messing up the timing because you're keeping the guy in

790
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 4: position in space in that space for a second, right,

791
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 4: that turns off the timing. And unless the quarterback is like,

792
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 4: you know, forget it, you know, f it ball right,

793
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 4: Like I'm just gonna throw it to my guy. Anyways,

794
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 4: he's got to go to the next guy, you know.

795
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 4: So the biggest thing there with the corner position is

796
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 4: the d line that pass rush has to get to

797
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 4: the quarterback and make it hard.

798
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: But ag in his time as defensive coordinator with Detroit Lions,

799
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: Steve Wilks, Yeah, throughout his career, they're both known for

800
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: bringing the heat in numbers, So those guys are going

801
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: to be asked, They're going to be asked to play

802
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: be played. Play it on an island. Yeah, yeah, you're

803
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: alone there, Q.

804
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 4: It's the perfect combination there. I think as long as

805
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 4: you have a know, a good pass rush, I don't

806
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 4: think speed is as important at the corner position. If

807
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 4: you can make sure you can just kind of mess

808
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 4: things up.

809
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 3: Yeah.

810
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: Lastly, before we get to OTAs, is this the perfect

811
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: spot for Sauce Gardner right now in his career, entering

812
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: his fourth year? Because you mentioned Aaron's faith and the

813
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: coaching staff and how they're gonna coach people up. You

814
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: not only have Aaron Glenn here, you have Steve Wilkes,

815
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: who's specialty before he long before his calling plays, was

816
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: the defensive backfield. You have Chris Harris here, you have

817
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: dre BLYI here. Is this the perfect spot for Sauce

818
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:45,439
Speaker 1: right now?

819
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 4: Absolutely? I think for Sauce is gonna be for him.

820
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,879
Speaker 4: I don't think that he has an ego, but it's

821
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 4: just going to be about dropping any ego he has

822
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 4: because a lot of coaches will come in and they'll

823
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 4: know that this guy, I mean, rookie of the year right,

824
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 4: all those different accolades that he has, and they'll be like, Okay,

825
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,959
Speaker 4: I don't have to too much. Some guys might push

826
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 4: you in as a as a guy that kind of

827
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 4: has a lot of confidence in your ability, you have

828
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 4: to be willing to be coached, you know. And even

829
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 4: those year four he's a vet, you know, and so

830
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 4: he knows exactly what he needs to do. He also

831
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 4: has to be willing to say, hey, listen, I don't

832
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 4: know everything you know. Let me go ahead and listen

833
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 4: to what you have to say.

834
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 1: Let's say your quick break and I want to get

835
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: your final thoughts here on OTAs Official Jets Podcast is

836
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: presented by Kendrick Scott, the jewelry company That's shiny brighton

837
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,520

838
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: much more at kendrickscott dot com. Ota is coming up. Man,

839
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable how quickly the off season is flown by

840
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: the Jets. Start of the off season with searches for

841
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: a GM and a head coach heiror Aaron Glenn, then

842
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: Darren Mougi, we see how they operate in free agency.

843
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 1: The draft is behind us. Now, what are you looking

844
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: forward to? In terms of OTAs.

845
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 4: Uh, you know you kind of I want to see

846
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 4: because I know OTAs are now where you can kind

847
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 4: of go against the defense, right, so you get that

848
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 4: opportunity to kind of see how do I match up

849
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 4: against the d You know you got You've been able

850
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 4: to watch them on the other field a little bit,

851
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 4: but now it's like, okay, it's mono imano, let's get

852
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 4: this little test in, especially those young guys, right, Like

853
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 4: you got a young corner as a receiver, you got

854
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 4: a young corner over there, right, You've got some corners

855
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 4: from another team, and Brandon Stevens, right, So you just

856
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 4: kind of want to see how you measure up going

857
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 4: into uh, now OTS and then training camp.

858
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: What's it like for rookie coming in? It was just

859
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: drafted a couple of weeks ago, and now we're out

860
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 1: here practicing.

861
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 3: And it's weird.

862
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie to you, like I throw myself

863
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 4: back in that position. And when I think about when

864
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 4: I was going through OTS, I mean we had Mike

865
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 4: Vick out there right, Like, I mean it was just

866
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 4: so many uh we didn't have read that yet, but

867
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 4: we did have Chrimarti out there, right, so guys that

868
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 4: you grew up watching like that you were watching in college,

869
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 4: now you're playing. Eric Decker was there too, So it's

870
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 4: it's it's a little bit of like okay, I got

871
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 4: to get through that shock of like like okay, yo,

872
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,919
Speaker 4: these guys are my teammates, and then it's like, okay,

873
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 4: now let's work for real.

874
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: Even as a young buck, because you dudes come out

875
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: of college, you know a lot of times like hey man,

876
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm the man.

877
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 3: Well I was a six round drafted, like I barely

878
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 3: got drafted, you know. So to me, it's like I

879
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 3: got a lot to work.

880
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 4: And we had three we drafted three receivers that year,

881
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 4: so those two guys ahead of me, I felt like

882
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 4: they had the spot right. I had confidence in my ability,

883
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 4: but also knew like that I had a tougher role

884
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 4: to make, you know, so you kind of have to

885
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 4: get through that and then also obviously what I talked

886
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 4: about before.

887
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's just work. You know.

888
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 4: You try your hardest to make sure you get the

889
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 4: playbook down. Like every day is like let me make

890
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 4: sure I know what I'm doing, because it's not a

891
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 4: lot of reps.

892
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: Do you think it's advantageous for a guy like Mason

893
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: Taylor to have a pops. Jason Taylor's a Hall of

894
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 1: Famer in our league. Now he's coaching defensive line for Miami,

895
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: of course, but yeah, giving him tips about what's.

896
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 3: To come, Yeah, definitely.

897
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 4: I Mean, the NFL loves pedigree, right, they love pedigree,

898
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 4: So you know, I think ultimately there's a reason behind that.

899
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 4: You know, you get to see, like I imagine, I

900
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 4: imagine putting myself in Jason Taylor's shoes, right and getting

901
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 4: to give him so much game because I knew what

902
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 4: the NFL looks like, I know what it feels like

903
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 4: to make it to this point. So it's you just

904
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 4: have a leg up again above everybody else.

905
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: What do you think about Mason what you saw on

906
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: tape at LSU.

907
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 4: Oh Man, great hands, great hands. One of those that

908
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 4: was one of the biggest things I saw was like,

909
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 4: when the ball comes to him, you know he sticks it. Now,

910
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 4: He's not a guy I didn't see like, you know,

911
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 4: he was making like contested catches right like, but I

912
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 4: saw that when the ball came to him, it didn't

913
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 4: feel like, even if he was open, that he was

914
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 4: going to drop the ball.

915
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 3: That was one of the biggest things.

916
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: Right.

917
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 4: He not as much wiggles as a as a as

918
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 4: a ball carrier. But I'm looking forward to seeing what

919
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 4: they do with him because I know that he has

920
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 4: some receivers around him, so he didn't get an opportunity

921
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 4: and college tight ends like if you're not a guy

922
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 4: where there you're the feature guy, you don't really get

923
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 4: to you don't really get to show who you are,

924
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 4: not only as a pass catcher but also everything else.

925
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: You know, So it's a fair point. I'm going to

926
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: put you under the gun here, so to speak. Yeah,

927
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: before we get back to just thinking about you, when

928
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: you're talking about some of the receivers and what you

929
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: like about Reynolds and Lazard coming back and the restructure

930
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: and the Jets draft Mason Taylor, who's gonna be the

931
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 1: target that gets the second most targets behind Garrett Wilson

932
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: on this offense.

933
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:28,439
Speaker 4: M that's a good question. I mean, we have to see.

934
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: You don't have to have the answer right now.

935
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think. I don't think I do.

936
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 4: I generally don't because I think what I need to

937
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 4: do is I want to see OTAs. I want to

938
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 4: see training camp. That's how I know, like, Okay, who's

939
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 4: really stepping up in this offense?

940
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 3: Right?

941
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 4: Because again we talk about quarterbacks and you know, why

942
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 4: didn't this guy perform? Well, why didn't this guy have success?

943
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 4: And a lot of it is the scheme, right, So

944
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 4: who's going to step up in this scheme? I can

945
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 4: say what I think guys do outside of this scheme,

946
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 4: But how do you show up when the players are

947
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 4: called and annou it's your turn to make a play?

948
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: How you approaching this spring if you are, because this

949
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: is a different situation. Now you are the guy, and

950
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: not only you are the guys coming in as a

951
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 1: rookie with Chicago where your head's kind of spinning, but

952
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: you're the guy and you can have a few years

953
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 1: under your belt in this organization is saying hey man,

954
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: we're embracing you, we're giving you the rock, and we

955
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: want you to be central command of the offense.

956
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:24,959
Speaker 3: Yeah.

957
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think he's really had that since

958
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 4: he first started in Chicago. And when you think about Chicago,

959
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 4: he had multiple coordinators, right, so it was a lot

960
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 4: of inconsistency there. So I think for him it's got

961
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 4: to be exciting to know that the team paid me

962
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 4: to be the starter. They have confidence in me as

963
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 4: a starter, they're getting me weapons. I think you approach

964
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 4: it as though you know this is a new start, right,

965
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 4: Like you've seen guys be able to like we talked

966
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 4: about Baker Mayfield. You've seen guys be able to do that.

967
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 4: Now you've got to go and prove that they did

968
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 4: the right thing and bringing you here, What do.

969
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: You expect from Aaron in terms of being on the grass.

970
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: That's one thing that he's always talked about. He brings

971
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 1: so much energy. This is a guy who scouted you.

972
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: Just now he's going to have everybody here. For the

973
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: first dove you could see how energetic and lively he

974
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: was here just for rookie mini camps. But now OTAs

975
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: is taking it up another step and then our next

976
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: step is training camp.

977
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing how he is as

978
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 4: a coach. You know, you got to see it a

979
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 4: little bit on the hard knocks kind of his attitude

980
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 4: and mentality. Now, one thing we saw was he was

981
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 4: barking back and forth with who was a duce? Day

982
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 4: was the other for the running back coach? Who was

983
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 4: I forgotten? But I think somebody. I know it was

984
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 4: a former Saints running back, but yeah, man, so it'll

985
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 4: be cool. Who's going to be his opponent now, Like

986
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 4: who's going to be barking back and forth with because

987
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 4: that energy, that competitive fire is cool to see that

988
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 4: it's stayed there because that's something that you experienced as

989
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 4: a player. To him to have as a coach, I

990
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 4: want to see if he still has as a head coach.

991
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said it during Rocky Mini camp. They said,

992
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: you know you're used to having your group. Yeah, it's

993
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: a secondary group in New Orleans from sixteen to twenty

994
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: under Sean Payton, and then he goes with Dan Campbell

995
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: to Detroit and then it's more like twenty three guys,

996
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: I got the defense now with everybody right, So Aaron

997
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: could be he can watch quarterbacks over here. Maybe in

998
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: the next drill he's gonna be looking at the linebacker.

999
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: Maybe the last group he's gonna look at now is

1000
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: the secondary. Or maybe he starts the secondary and then

1001
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: jumps around right.

1002
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, listen, this is a new spot for him.

1003
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 4: This is a new opportunity. I think in the beginning

1004
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 4: he might catch himself maybe too much in a defense

1005
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 4: and he'll have to kind of just every day kind

1006
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 4: of takeing a just kind of an examination of Okay,

1007
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 4: where have I been the most and how can I

1008
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 4: make sure that I'm spending myself around and making sure

1009
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 4: everybody feels my presence.

1010
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,919
Speaker 1: You like the hires at those important positions, and these

1011
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:43,879
Speaker 1: are guys that we're gonna get to know a lot

1012
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: better here in the next couple of weeks and months.

1013
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: But you got Wilkes who's got head coaching experience. I've

1014
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: been calling defensive plays for Roberts, so he can lean

1015
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: on him if he's got any questions from a head

1016
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: coach perspective. Engstrand, he was a very valuable piece that

1017
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: Detroit offense. I asked Ben Johnson about him at league

1018
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 1: meetings in Palm Beach and he said, well, he got

1019
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: involved in everything we were doing here offensively, passing game coordinator,

1020
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: calling the shots now and Chris Banjo talk about energy.

1021
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 3: Dude. Yeah, oh my god, he was playing when I

1022
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,919
Speaker 3: was playing. He still can play, definitely. Yeah.

1023
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 4: No, it's cool to see that, you know, guys, uh,

1024
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 4: that he's given young guys an opportunity, right like, not

1025
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 4: just Tanner Ekstra, because that's a guy that climbed the ladder,

1026
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 4: but climbed it pretty quickly.

1027
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 3: Right.

1028
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 4: He passing game coordinators in that officer corner. He took

1029
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 4: the same route to Ben Johnson. But Chris Banjo is

1030
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 4: a guy that you know I was playing when I

1031
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,439
Speaker 4: was playing. Now he's special teams coordinator. That's a big

1032
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 4: spot to be at. Man, Special teams really changes the game.

1033
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 4: We've seen that over and over again last year missing kicks, right,

1034
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 4: There's so many different aspects of the special teams game

1035
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 4: that are important to win. So you know, to be

1036
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 4: exciting to see that.

1037
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,560
