So a defensive 9 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: day for Joe Douglas and company. E A. First things first, 10 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: I don't think we've talked about this on the podcast. Oh, 11 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: real quick. Olivia Landis will be joined by Anthony Becks 12 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: talking Jets and talking Tom Brady, considering Anthony beck knows 13 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: a thing or two about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers living 14 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: in that area. Real quick, though, before we talk about football, 15 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: I don't think I've told you this. I'm thinking about 16 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: growing a quarantine beard and seeing what I can get. 17 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: What do you think about that? Uh? You man, you 18 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: can support a beard. You don't have bad facial hair, 19 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: so go for it. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. 20 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: So let's I tend to keep the bear. You want 21 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: to dive in. No, I tend to keep the beard, 22 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: and you're around myself. It depends how I know how 23 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: long it's gonna be. I have a friend, we have 24 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: a mutual friend across the street here in Green's in 25 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: Floria Park, Paul Marsh, who's been working. Uh, it's been 26 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: a colleague of mine for close to twenty years, been 27 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: a colleague yours for more than four years. He he 28 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: looks like a character straight out of Duck Dynasty. Yes 29 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: he does. Uh, you know, you used to do the 30 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: beard only from what Thanksgiving to Easter? Thanksgiving to Easter. 31 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: But uh yeah, but you listen. You gotta pay attention 32 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: to your loved ones. And if your loved ones tell 33 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: you what to do with something, you follow. That understood. 34 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: So let's let's dive into some Jets football here. Let's 35 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: start with the cornerbacks because it's rather timely with Arthur 36 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: Milette reportedly resigning. First is what's your overall take on 37 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: the move? That was his best professional season last year 38 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: with the New York Jets getting some starting experience. I 39 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: know one of those games he came out of there 40 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: with double digit tackles. What I like about Milette greens 41 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: and you can add to this just thinking about him 42 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: is he's a deaf guy. He can give it value 43 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: on special teams. He can play outside the numbers, and 44 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: he can play inside. Yeah, he started six games last 45 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: year for the Jets, appeared in twelve. He had, I 46 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: mean all career numbers for him, thirty eight total tables, 47 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: two past defenses. He got an interception in the season 48 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: finale up at New Era Field in Buffalo, and I 49 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: think I think Arthur Milette really grew as the year 50 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: went on, and I think this is a good move 51 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: for the Jets. And obviously we talked about just how 52 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: thin the position is from a numbers perspective. I mean, 53 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: the Jets corners under the roster, under contractor bless Austin, 54 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: Kyran Brown, Nate Hairston and Darryl Roberts. That's four defensive backs, 55 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: four cornerbacks. And Arthur Miletts definitely earned his spot, I 56 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: think back on the Jets, and it will have an 57 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: opportunity depending on who the Jets signed and bringing in 58 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: the draft to start. And the other thing I really 59 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: like about Arthur Millett is his willingness to tackle and 60 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: set the edge, and that's something that you and I 61 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: have talked to him about throughout the course of last season. 62 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: And he's a very physical corner and he's familiar with 63 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: Greg Williams, so the familiarity and the continuity can only 64 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: bode well for him. So I think it was a 65 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: good move by Joe Douglas. Yeah, that is very important. 66 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: And there's multiple ways of free agency and Uhmlett, like 67 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: we talked about here, here's a guy who's really takes 68 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: a hard nosed approach. He plays iron on the field. 69 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: I think he's a Greg Williams type player. Um, and 70 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: you need death and this is a guy who showed 71 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: last year when called upon is that he can go 72 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: out there and he can contribute for you, not only 73 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: on teams Greeds, more importantly the festival. Yeah. Absolutely. And 74 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: you know Arthur Mallett has a real interesting story and 75 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: we had him on the podcast once before Juco and 76 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: then goes and plays for the Saints, the Colts a 77 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: little bit, then joins the Jets and he actually started 78 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: like an all seafood diet became a pesketian at some 79 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: point last year and was very much enjoying that when 80 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: we spoke to him. But when you look at the 81 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: status so the rest of this Jet secondary one, I'm 82 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: sure Joe Douglas is going to add more players at 83 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: corner in particular, because you think about one, the numbers 84 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: like we talked about, and two you think about or 85 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: I think about at least what Joe Douglas said at 86 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: the combine when he said, we, yes, we need explosive 87 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,559 Speaker 1: playmakers on offense, but on defense you need to add 88 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: edge ushers and corners because that's the best way to 89 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,799 Speaker 1: affect the past. And we'll see what happens, of course 90 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: with the draft. And when you look at the Jets 91 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: safeties when you go back there, obviously you think about 92 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams and Marcus May, but then really question marks 93 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: behind those two guys. Yeah, I don't just want to 94 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: get back to the cornerback position just for a second here, 95 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: early in free agency, a couple of veterans out there 96 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: on the market that aren't traguing Greens. He's Jimmy Smith. Uh, 97 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: Joe Douglas, a former Baltimore scout when the Ravens made 98 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: him a first round pickback in two thousand eleven. I 99 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: know he's a veteran thirty two years of age, but 100 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: he still can play, and somebody is going to sign 101 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 1: him oop, I would imagine relatively soon. Another guy played 102 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: cross town for the New York Giants, Prince and Mukamara, Right, 103 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: so he's out there as well. Uh, and he's an 104 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: older guy, thirty one years old. But uh, those are 105 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: two guys who can come in and play roles for 106 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: whoever picks them up, no doubt about it. But at 107 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: a safety position. Listen, man, you gotta be really excited 108 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: if you're Jets fitting you got a two time defunding team. 109 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: I'm VP. And Jamal Adams, who is also a two 110 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: time Pro bowler who also first team All Pro All 111 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: Pro for the first time in his career last year, 112 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: all over the place, six and a half sacks might 113 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: have set the NFL defensive backs sack record had not 114 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: he had suffered that ankle injury in December. But still 115 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: a fabulous season all over the place. He can kind 116 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: of do it all. Greg Williams, I think um was 117 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: a perfect match for him. Greens And how about Marcus 118 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: May only guy in the defensive backfield to start all 119 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: sixteen games? Range E and he is central command. He's 120 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: a guy making sure everybody is lining up in the 121 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: right position. And when you think about the Jets last year, 122 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: what impressed me most about may perhaps was the guys 123 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: all pointed to him and said, especially the guys on 124 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: the outside, those cornerbacks we mentioned the guy like Arthur Roulette, 125 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: is that he was the guy making sure everybody disguised late. 126 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: There were a lot of times last season when the 127 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: Jets based a veteran quarterback he didn't know what was coming. 128 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: I think about that Oakland Raiders game and Derek Carr listen, 129 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: give the guy's credit up front, But what the Jets 130 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: were doing in the defensive backfield and how Greg Williams 131 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: was disguising, I thought really had him baffled. And we 132 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: saw that on occasion, no matter who was playing on 133 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: the outside. So Marcus may not only talk about what 134 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: he brings athletically, We got to talk about what he 135 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: brings from the mental standpoint, all right, Well, before we 136 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: dive into the linebackers and defensive line. Here's Olivia Land. 137 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: That's his interview with Anthony Beck. To you living in 138 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay as well as was being involved in the 139 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: football world, everybody on God's Green Earth knows that Tom Brady, 140 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: the former Patriot, New England Patriot, he was there for 141 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: twenty years, officially committed to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So 142 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: he's actually um on your side of town now, which 143 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: is kind of great. Think it's unbelievable. Uh, you know, 144 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: twenty years ago the two thousand draft. We both came 145 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: out of that draft. Of course, myself, Chad Sewan, Elis Abraham, 146 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: we were all part of that same draft. He he 147 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: obviously went later in the sixth round, and just an 148 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: unbelievable run for him and the fact that he is 149 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: arguably this is probably the largest free agency signing. Some 150 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: people say since Peton Manny. I would say ever, you know, 151 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: since Tregy White, because this guy is arguably the best 152 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: quarterback to ever play the game. I don't think many 153 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: people right at this point, with all his rings and 154 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: everything he's done, would say differently. So, uh, just a 155 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: long string of events, Olivia that kind of went on 156 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: from start to finish finish when you talk about him 157 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: becoming a Buccaneer, and I don't think a lot of 158 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: people really believed it was gonna happen. You know, if 159 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: you look at the past for the Buccaneers, a lot 160 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: of kind of hand up in your face kind of situations. 161 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: Going back to Bill Parcels, who was supposed to coach here, 162 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: I thought that was a done deal. He goes when 163 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: Chip Kelly was hot, he was a big name, he 164 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: was supposed to sign here. He goes somewhere else. And 165 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: then of course Brett Barr, who ended up going to 166 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: the Jets and played for the Vikings, didn't uh, didn't uh, 167 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: you know, come to Tampa Bay where it was a 168 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: potential option for him. So this is kind of a 169 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,719 Speaker 1: surreal moment for the fans down here. I don't think 170 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: a lot of people really believed in the fact that 171 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: it was gonna happen. It was a lot of talk, 172 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people kind of talking about interest. But 173 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: within the organization and the people that I know from 174 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, you know, this thing has been going on 175 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: since early February. You know, the talks, the push when 176 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people weren't thinking that Tom Brady was 177 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: ever gonna leave. They kind of pushed the envelope a 178 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: little bit. And you know, Bruce Arians, the head coach 179 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: down here in Tampa Bay, kind of pushed the envelope 180 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: got Tom Brady kind of talking to the right people, 181 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: and those people were Peyton Manning, you know, players that 182 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: played under Bruce Arians and kind of get to know 183 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: what he it in that transition when they were with 184 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: the Colts and of course when he went to Denver, 185 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: when he left Indianapolis. No whatever thought that Peyton would 186 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: do that. So this is the first time deal for 187 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, first time free agency, just not really getting 188 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: you know, the kind of ups and downs, the ins 189 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: and outs of the situation. A lot of information was 190 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: being gathered, and the Buccaneers continue to push, continue to push, 191 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: and and of course you see now the pieces, the rosters, 192 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,719 Speaker 1: the coaching staff, former head coach of the New York 193 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: Jets is down here as the defensive coordinator, Todd Bowls. 194 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: All those things I think come together, uh, in a 195 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: in a in a in a high you know, weathered 196 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: area where you love the play and the sun's out 197 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: every single day. And an older player, I remember that 198 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: for myself, going somewhere and playing somewhere with the weather 199 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: is great and it just feels good. So his body 200 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: is gonna be great. So coming down to Tampa Bay, 201 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 1: as many who thought it wasn't gonna be or it 202 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: wasn't a great idea, turns out to be his best choice. 203 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: And it's definitely a surreal moment for the fans down 204 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: here with Brady leaving the a f C East. Sam 205 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: Donald now because the longest tenord quarterback in the a 206 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 1: f C East, which is kind of crazy to think about. 207 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: But when you look at Sam Donald because he was 208 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: drafted in the same draft class as Josh Allen, but 209 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: he has more starting experience. How is he going to 210 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: build off of that in year three? Yeah? I think 211 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: the one thing we can all agree upon with Sam 212 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 1: and he's determined to be great and he's determined to 213 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: get better. Uh, you know, he's a team guy. You know, 214 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: he's not necessarily worried about statistics. The only statistic he 215 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: has and thinks about his winning football games. And it 216 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: was a disaster last year when he missed several games 217 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: because of getting mono nucleosis. So I'm excited for him. 218 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: He has to be pumped up. I mean, it's a 219 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: huge off season for him. You know, him, his his 220 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: skilled position players, these guys working together training, I mean, 221 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: you know right now, they're not together during this time, 222 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: which it wouldn't be anyway, but you know, getting the 223 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: juices flowing and wanting to come back, get stronger, get faster. 224 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: You know, you're more intelligent with the system now. All 225 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: these things put together with another year under your belt, 226 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: just makes everybody better. So you know, the organization from 227 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: the top with Joe Douglas and his staff, Rex and 228 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: all those guys are gonna put together the best team possible. 229 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,599 Speaker 1: Gaze and his staff, you know, make sure everybody is 230 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: complimentary and what they're trying to propose as far as 231 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: plays and enhancing from last year in the system and 232 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: what worked and what didn't. And then of course all 233 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 1: the players coming back healthy. You know that that's gonna 234 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 1: be uplifting. I think it's exciting. Every team gets excited. 235 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 1: But you know, as I look at what the Jets 236 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: did and you start early in the season, you know 237 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: that first game, you know what they look like when 238 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: they came out the gates, and then how the kind 239 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: of team dissipated because of injuries, missing Moseley and all 240 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: these kind of players not being at full task. Uh 241 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: that that that'll be a difference this year and that'll 242 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: be huge. So I'm looking forward to it, and I 243 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: think Sam most importantly have any player on the football 244 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: team can grow and become even better than he was 245 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: last season. That's what you want. You want to be 246 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: peeking at year three. That's kind of how the evolution 247 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: of a player is in the NFL, the great ones, 248 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: the high draft picks. When you play your first your 249 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: second years, you get thrown into the are Now it's like, okay, 250 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: you gotta be peaking. So he's kind of, you know, 251 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 1: he's got out of that youth um process and now 252 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: he's stepping into that bed room world where he can 253 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: become even more of a leader on that end to 254 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: which would be great for him. I think this goes 255 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: without saying as well, but I'm going to say it anyways. 256 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: If there's any person to listen to when it comes 257 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: to some of the college prospects coming out into the draft, 258 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: it's definitely going to be you because you are watching 259 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: these players every single week when you're doing the college 260 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: you know, being a college football analyst. So I think that, um, 261 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go ahead and listen to what you 262 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: have to say. I'm listening on some of these guys. 263 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: But yeah, that's great. I think Joe Douglas very vocally 264 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: addressed the fact that the offensive line was going to 265 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: be a number one priority coming into this offseason, and 266 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: so far he has lived up to his words. So 267 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: it's really good to see that they are getting some 268 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: things done along the offensive line. Now, before I let 269 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: you go, I want to get some final thoughts. We're 270 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: going to circle back to the Tom Brady and the 271 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: jem It's in the a f C s this whole talk. Obviously, 272 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: you do a lot of work for both the Jets 273 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: and some team coverage for the Bucks as well, since 274 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: you live down there in Tampa when you are you know, 275 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: you're an insider, but also from an outsider looking in 276 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: when you look at this entire situation, is there anything 277 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: else that really stands out to you about this Tom 278 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: Brady being in Tampa Bay and how can how this 279 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: really affects the Jets in the a f C East. Well, 280 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's a you know, it's a 281 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,359 Speaker 1: tremendous springboard for this team to take advantage of a situation. 282 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there's gonna be some some struggles 283 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: here for the Patriots, and and that's one team in 284 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: the division and I think last year not a lot 285 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: of buzz was put around the Buffalo Bills. But I 286 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: think right now, you look at the Bills where they're at, 287 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: that's your main kind of you know, competition. It's Jets 288 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: and of course, um, you know, Miami trying to figure out, 289 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: you know, what their quarterback situation is. They've gotta they 290 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: bought a ton of players, but I don't know how 291 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: good of a team will be, so um, it'll be interesting. 292 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: You know. Look at this is uh, this is a 293 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: great time to be to be a Jet fan. I 294 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: think they're positioned properly, like we talked about in the draft. Um, 295 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: and look, Tom Brady is not in not only in 296 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: the division, but in the conference, and that that sets 297 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: that sets a huge bar. I mean, honestly, those are 298 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: two games that the majority of the com of the 299 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: division we're not winning. I mean, it's just bottom line, 300 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: regardless it may have been close, but Tom just been 301 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: a thorn and everybody's everybody's back for the last twenty years. 302 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: And you know, now you've gotta you know, I would 303 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: expect the Patriots to lose games within the division, and 304 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: the pain and the and the Jets have to be 305 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: those trend setters early to take advantage of that, and 306 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: ultimately that will give him the confidence. And that's that's 307 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: what's gonna be good and and look good teams. You know, 308 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: winning one game two games in a row are great. 309 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: That the really good teams that come out each year 310 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: can win three or four games in a row. That 311 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: those are the kind of trends you want to look 312 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: for when you're looking for teams that are good. You know, 313 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: when you start losing two or three and then you 314 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: gotta bounce back when one you'll lose one, that's not 315 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: really a good sign. So early on that will be 316 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: That's what I'll be looking for out the Jets, and 317 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: I think they're fully capable of that along with some 318 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: of the weapons. Again, it's early on here in March. 319 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: They're going to continue to add to this football team 320 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: and and and hopefully, you know, uh, live up to 321 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: the expectation that I think they should have moving into 322 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: next season. Anthony, I can't thank you enough for your 323 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: time coming on the podcast, give me yes your thoughts 324 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: not only on Tom Brady but the Jets as well, 325 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: So thank you so much. We really appreciate it. Listen, enjoy, 326 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: Tom Brady down there in your sunny Florida. Okay, I'm 327 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: very happy he's gone exactly a f C, which is 328 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: great for us because you know that that's exactly what 329 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: we want. And of course I'm happy because Tampa. It's 330 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: been a struggle down here to the teams I cover, 331 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: just trying to get over the hump, and I can't 332 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: wait to see how both teams react to both of 333 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: the of those leaving and coming. It's gonna be an 334 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: interesting year. Always great to hear from Anthony back to 335 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: of course, was one of the four players drafted in 336 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: two thousand by the Green and White. And as he 337 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: and I spoke with Anthony back at the combine, he 338 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: still extremely proud of his combine numbers, and you know what, 339 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: like good for him because I didn't even know that 340 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: he had those kind of numbers in Indianapolis, and he 341 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 1: really tore it up. And if he were, I mean, 342 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: he talked about this, if he were a current day prospect, 343 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: he would be a big time riser after the combine. 344 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: Anthony Beck played at two or seventy pounds, known for 345 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: his blocking prowess, but yeah, what he did at the combine, 346 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: I would consider him somewhat of a freak athlete bottom line, 347 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: pulling off those numbers and some of those cone drills, 348 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: some of those shuttle drills. Uh yeah. And it was 349 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: hard to fit his head into the convention center because 350 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: he was feeling quite good about himself talking to the 351 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: college kids and remembering what he had posted twenty years prior. Yeah, 352 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: no doubt. And I know we got off in a 353 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: little bit of tangent talking about some offense on the 354 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: Defense podcast here. So let's go back to another reported signing, 355 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: Neville Hewitt. So we're supposedly rejoined the Jets, and he 356 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: he had a roller coaster year in the sense of 357 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: he was the backup will linebacker, then he becomes a 358 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,479 Speaker 1: starter when Avery Williamson goes down. Then C. J. Mosley 359 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: gets hurt in week one, so a week two he's 360 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: the mic linebacker. After two weeks before he was a 361 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: reserve player. And he played very well for the Jets. 362 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: And you asked me the other night about Burgess because 363 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: he was an exclusive rights free agent as well, and 364 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: he's a restrictive free agent, and we're covering all these guys, 365 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: and I forgot to even mention Neville because the first 366 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 1: guy on my mind was C. J. Mosley, and then 367 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: I thought about Avery, and then I thought about Blake Cashman. 368 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: But how can you not remember nevill Hewitt. He was 369 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: terrific last year, seventy eight tackles. He had three sacks, 370 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: seven quarterback hurries, a couple interception, six past defenses. And 371 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: here is a guy that you out in your system 372 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: again Frank Bush, inside linebackers coach, and also defensive coordinator 373 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: Greg Williams. You have to credit those guys for his 374 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: development because uh douvill Hewitt largely thought of as a 375 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: debt player, a reserve. I'll tell you what you look like, 376 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: a front ride starter towards the end of the season, 377 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: no doubt about debt and when he's not, And the 378 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: only thing or the other thing about nevil Hewitt that 379 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: I like is when he's not starting at either the 380 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: mic or the will. He's a very solid special teams contributor. 381 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: I believe the year before he was one of the 382 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: core members of Special Teams and he did a great 383 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: job for Brand Warrior's unit as well. So he's another 384 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: one of those guys that brings intensity and he might 385 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: not be the most outgoing off the field. But on 386 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: the field, he runs with his hair on fire. He 387 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: hits hard. He had a great game against Dallas before 388 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: he went down with a stinger for a couple of weeks. 389 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: And I really like where the linebackers right now. It's 390 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: a linebacker as an embarrassment or Richard if you really 391 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: think about it. Now, if those guys stay, if they 392 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: all come back, and that is the big caveat. But C. J. Mosley, 393 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if all Jets fans remember 394 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: just how good of a player this guy is. We 395 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: saw glimpses of it against the Buffalo Bills when he 396 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: was the best player on the field of Week one. 397 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 1: To get him back, and he's also one of the 398 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: most cerebral players in the league. He's gonna be a 399 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: perfect fit with Greg Williams, got Avery Williamson still on 400 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: the roster. He led the team in tackles in two 401 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 1: thousand eighteen. Blake Cashman, I thought you showed a lot 402 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 1: of things in coverage last year before going down. So 403 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: I just think the biggest thing for the inside linebackers 404 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: breeds his health and then check the box because just 405 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: like the tight ends are set on the offensive side 406 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: of the ball. You gotta like where you're at an 407 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 1: inside linebacker, Yeah, and I even think the same could 408 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: be said for defensive line And we'll touch on them 409 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: right after we talk about the outside linebackers, because right now, 410 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: I mean the big the big guy that you don't 411 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: think about in terms of or that you do think 412 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: about potentially not returning is Jordan Jenkins because he's not 413 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: under contract. He's currently a free agent. And then you 414 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: think about Terrell pass Um who came on late at 415 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: the end of the year. He had his first career 416 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: interception against the Steelers that was impressive. Then Frankie lu 417 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: Wu's an exclusive right free agent, so I don't know 418 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen there. Harvey Longy is another one of 419 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: the guys that plays all over the place, and the 420 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: Jets right now they're gonna need some guys on the 421 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,719 Speaker 1: outside at the linebackers. Its gonna step up. And you 422 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: mentioned Joe Douglas is saying the point in emphasis talking 423 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: about edge guys and cornerbacks. So Bashroom is a guy 424 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: who you mentioned that interception interception. I believe that was 425 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: a zone drop. I thought Jamal Adams was coming on 426 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: a blitz and they're Bash display his athleticism and a 427 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: lot of the big guys they might drop a ball 428 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: like that, but he showed his hands off. I like 429 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: his speed off the edge. He's a big guy. The 430 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: versatility to Greens is that he could put his hand 431 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: in the dirt and he also can stand up. Of course, 432 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: so Bash intrigues me because I look at him as 433 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: another developing player on this team. Jordan Jenkins, Yeah, the 434 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: watches on because the fifteen sacks the last two seasons. 435 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: He led the Green of White and sacks last year. 436 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: The thing about Jordan's that he's gonna have to weigh 437 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: in his representation and things like that is what is 438 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: the best system fit for me? Where am I comfortable? Uh, 439 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: let's see how that plays out. Valuable piece. But if 440 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: the Jets don't go in that direction, of course they 441 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: might be looking to add at edge, regardless whether you 442 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: bring George Jenkins back or not. Right, Yeah, I would 443 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: definitely think so, and was one of the positions. Like 444 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: I said earlier that Joe Douglas talked about being imperative 445 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: on any good defense and real quick, let's just wrap 446 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: things up on the defensive line, and you talked about 447 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: an embarrassment of riches before. Well, this defensive line just 448 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: when you thought it couldn't get you know, on paper, 449 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: it was good entering last season. Then you get contributions 450 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: from Tolronzo Farukasi, Nathan Shepard had a good year. You 451 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: knew what you were gonna get out of Steve McClendon. 452 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: And then, really, what's the biggest surprise I think if 453 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: you look back at last year was the production by 454 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent rookie and Kyle Phillips. Yeah, it's 455 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: something else. Before I dive in to the defensive line 456 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: real quick because I don't even know how much time 457 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: we've got to spend on those guys because they are 458 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: set up front. A couple of guys on the market, 459 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: interesting names. Let me throw this at you. Vinny Curry 460 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: played the Eagles. Of course it's gonna be thirty two. 461 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: But if I say X last year Green, so let's 462 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: see how the market develops for him, i'mout. Marcus Golden 463 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: uh played last season with the Giants. This shocked me. 464 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: Greens he had ten sex last season. So there are 465 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: a couple of guys out there, I know every we're 466 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: talking about your Damon Clowney. Okay, Um, we'll have to 467 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: see how that all uh continues to progress. But I 468 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: think Clowney is a guy who's gonna want to break 469 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: the bank. I don't know what the market will be 470 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: ultimately for him. Right now, he's sitting it out. Now, 471 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: let's go to the defensive line. You mentioned all those guys. 472 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: Steve mclennen, Jim's always open uh. He's stout as ever, 473 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: a great leader inside the locker room. Credit him for 474 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: a lot of the development for full of runs of Fatasi. Listen, 475 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 1: when guys started talking about Fatacasi last year, they weren't 476 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: saying that he's one of the better run stuffers on 477 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: the Jets. They were staying he's one of the better 478 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: runt stuffers in the National Football League. Do you think 479 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: about what the Jets did last Steer in terms of 480 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: either stops at the line of scrimmage or stops in 481 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 1: the backfield, stops for a loss. It was really something else. 482 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: Quinn and Williams, is there two greens? We got to 483 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: mention him number three overall selection in the two thousand 484 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: eighteen thraft. Um. So I still have high hopes for him. 485 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: I know sometimes you're gonna see the biggest leap from 486 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 1: a lot of these young guys. You know this Greens 487 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: is from is not the rookie seasons. From year one 488 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: to year two, you got Henry Anderson still on the roster, 489 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: big rangy guy um who can be used in different situations. 490 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: So depth, talent, hard working guys, uh pluggers. You got 491 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: everything up there. Yeah. I just want to say one 492 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: thing about Quinny Williams. You mentioned the the you mentioned 493 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: the leap that a lot of players take from year 494 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 1: one to year two, and you just for me, I 495 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: look at Floronzo Pardokazi and Nathan Shepard, two defensive linemen 496 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: who had quiet rookie years, and Florenzo I don't think 497 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: he was active for a single game before becoming one 498 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: of the better, if not one of the best, run 499 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: stuffers in the NFL. I mean, he had a great 500 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: year last year for the Jets in his second season. 501 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: So to your point, I do have high hopes for 502 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: Quentin Williams entering his second season. And I think Quentin 503 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: Williams has high hopes for himself, and I think he 504 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: knows it because he's somebody that was very well regarded 505 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 1: at Alabama that just doesn't go away. So I'm pretty 506 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: sure like if you asked me today who might breakout 507 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: player next year would be, I would be saying Quentin Williams. 508 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: Obviously I'm not gonna don't hold me to that, but 509 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: that's what I'm going with right now.
