We're gonna break down each of 8 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: the players strengths, weaknesses, basically their backgrounds out their respective colleges. 9 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: Olivia Land has talked to the Mad Backer Bart Scott, 10 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: so will here from her and Bart in a little bit. 11 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 1: But e a another day, another pod here in Jets world. 12 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: What's going on the greens Son is out. I think 13 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: we've probably hit what the midway point of free agency. 14 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: You know, we always talk about tears. You know, there's 15 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: the first tier, the second tier, multiple waves and things 16 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: like that. The Jets are still going to have to 17 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: add a number of players um along the way here 18 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: before the draft. But it is draft season because we're 19 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: less than a month away until April and the three 20 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: Night Day UH Extravaganza begins and and and very unique 21 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: format this year. We'll have to see how that all 22 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: plays out. But Jets sitting there at number eleven in 23 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: the first round, four picks in the top seventy nine overall, 24 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: I know you are pumped for the draft, Greens, as 25 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: is everybody in Jets Nation. Yeah. I love the draft, 26 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: and what you know, without further ado, let's just dive 27 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: into it. We're gonna go alphabetically in regard to the 28 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: core for the big four. So up first is the 29 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: big man. That's McKay Beckton out of Louisville. And not 30 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: only is he a big ugly, he's probably the biggest 31 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: ugly six seven, three hundred sixty four pounds and oh 32 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: at the combine he ran the forty and five point 33 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: one seconds. You know, Jane Brugler of The Athletic always says, 34 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: you look for traits and a guy, and the draft 35 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: is highly you profile guys and no number of ways, 36 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 1: but you think of a guy's traits. Maybe sometimes over 37 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: production and McKay Beckton was productive for the Louisville Cardinals, 38 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: but oh my god, you think about these guys traits, 39 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 1: they're off the floor. Yeah, agree, in some monstrous man, 40 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: six seven three sixty four. I'll tell you what, I'm 41 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: a little bit under five ten. I'm not even gonna 42 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: give out my weight, but I can't run one what 43 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: this guy and what money these prospects can do. It's 44 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: just it is amazing. There's no other word for it. 45 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: And isn't there the great video of Beckton Donking. You 46 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: know this is a guy who can get it up 47 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: and throw it down right. Yeah. Former Louisville head coach 48 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: Bobby Petrino said that he knew he wanted to offer 49 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: Beckton a scholarship when he saw him doing reverse dunks 50 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: in high school. And of course now I mean we 51 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say his height and weight again, six seven, 52 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: three hundred sixty four pounds. I mean, don't be deceived 53 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: by his height and weight. He's a premier athlete, and 54 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: he's nasty as a finisher. He likes to punish people well, 55 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: and that's the thing you keep on mentioning his weight, 56 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: And I think it's fairer because where the teams envision 57 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: him playing at, not only which side, because he is 58 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: a tackle who started out at the start out on 59 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: the right side for Louisville, but then he started shifting 60 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: over right as his college career went on. Ten starts 61 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: at left tackle as a sophomore and then eleven more 62 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: at left tackle as a junior, garnering first team All 63 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: a CC honors. But that way, you know it's gonna 64 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: be very interested. I'm gonna be very interested to see 65 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: how teams project him at because when I hear three 66 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: sixty four, a lot of times I'm thinking, oh God, 67 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: maybe he'd be better suited for the right side, but 68 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: he played both in college, most recently played the left 69 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: side in six seven, means he's awfully long. Um, I 70 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: think he A lot of the traffic pondits, including they 71 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: four mentioned Dane Brewler would say, hey, maybe a little 72 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: bit raw, maybe he's got to get more refined, but wow, 73 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: what a ceiling. When you're talking about beck then yeah, 74 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: I feel like Beckton definitely has the biggest ceiling and 75 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: he's like a crazy athlete. And obviously we'll talk about 76 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: all four of these guys, but in terms of Beckton, 77 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: something that you know we'll get New York fans a 78 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: little excited is that at the combine, somebody asked him, 79 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: what do you think about New York? And I don't 80 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: remember if the reporter was Jetter Giants. But he said, 81 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: I love New York. I love the grimy nous that 82 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: New York basically is represented by. And I think that 83 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: if he he's there at eleven, he'd be in a 84 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: drinking option for the Jets along with the other three 85 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 1: of these guys and just plugging along here quickly moving 86 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: through these guys. Now, let's head talk about Andrew Thomas. 87 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: And I said alphabetical, so it's kind of funny going 88 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: from B T T. But the other two tackles, Jetrick 89 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: Wills and Tristan Worfs, are w guys, So we're going 90 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: to te and Andrew Thomas is somebody that started on 91 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: the right side in his collegiate career at Georgia when 92 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: Isaiah Win, former first round pick of the New England Patriots, 93 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: was on the left side, and then once Win got drafted, 94 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: Thomas has been the guy at left tackle for two 95 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: seasons for Georgia, and his strength accorded a bunch of 96 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: pundits really come in the run game. And he's another 97 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: guy that's just nasty on the ground. Yes, started thirteen 98 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: games at left tackle lest season Greens and the first 99 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: team associated Press All American and of course first team 100 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: All Conference guy to in two thousand nineteen, you would 101 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: figure he's gonna come in and be a Day one starter. 102 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: But we talked about this before here on the pod 103 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: that it's funny how things have changed in a matter 104 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: of months because because prior to this season, a lot 105 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: of pundits, a lot of pronosticators are taught. We're talking 106 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: in terms of Andrew Thomas is going to be the 107 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: top tackle overall selected, but I feel like these other 108 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: guys have been so impressive with their workouts and their combines, 109 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: showing that maybe he's going under the radar. He's long 110 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: to Green's six ft five um, thirty six arms um. 111 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: You know, he probably gets overshadowed because what other guys 112 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: did at the combine, meaning Backton Wills and works. Yeah, 113 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: I think that's fair to say and Andrew Thomas. I 114 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: said this earlier on another episode. It's almost like he's 115 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: been under the microscope for longer than any of the 116 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: rest of the prospects at offensive tackle in regard to 117 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: the top guys, So it's almost like you forget that 118 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: he's a good player because he's been analyzed for so long. 119 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: But you look at his forty yard dash. I mean 120 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: he's three fifteen and he ran the forty and five 121 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: point two seconds. This is a guy, to your point, 122 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: is probably a plug and play kind of guy. And 123 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: what you like about both Beckton and Thomas is that 124 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: they've played both left tackle and right tackles. So in 125 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: terms of the Jets, you know, we don't know where 126 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: or how the front office envisioned somebody like George Fan 127 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: where he's supposed to play or where they project him 128 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: to play or Tomadoga. But the good news about the 129 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: two guys we've talked about so far, they played both 130 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: sides of the line. And in terms of Thomas, I 131 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: just want to say this. You talked about you almost 132 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: forget about that he's a good player. Well, he was 133 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: the first Bulldog to win the Jacobs Blocking Trophy in 134 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: twenty one years, which is awarded to the top lineman 135 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: in the SEC, has voted on by the coaches, and 136 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: this is a conference that had the Joe Moore Award 137 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: in the l s U Tiger's offense of line, which 138 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: is voted the best old line in the country. So 139 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: Andrew Thomas is clearly a very good player. This guy 140 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: Andrew Thomas is considered very good in the run game, 141 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: and he's got a mller mentality. And the one thing 142 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: I would like to mention about the Jets, as you 143 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: mentioned media outlets having George Fan agreeing to terms with 144 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: the Jets and his versatility. We talked about that at 145 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: length here on the podcast. Brandon Shell, former Jet tackle, 146 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: reportedly agreeing to terms with Seattle, as did Brent Quality, 147 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: um agreed to terms with the Houston Texans. So Shell 148 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: was your opening day right tackle in two thousand nineteen, 149 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: and Quality was slated before he got injured to be 150 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: your swing tackle. So uh, moving parts, moving pieces here, 151 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: and remember Kelvin Beecham remains an unrestricted free agent as 152 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 1: of taping right now. All right, So on the other 153 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: side of Olivia's interview with Bart and I will break 154 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: down Jeddrick Wills and Tristan Worth. But right now, let's 155 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 1: see what Olivia and Barne to say. The Dynamic Duo 156 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: is officially back.

Um, it's been good. Um, 161 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: just trying to make the best out of it. Right. 162 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: So you're sitting home and what you're doing is you're 163 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: doing things that you normally wouldn't do because you don't 164 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: have the ability to drive around go do things. So 165 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: I spend a lot of time with the kids, being 166 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: able to read books, watch you know, been watching Netflix 167 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: all day.

That's that's the big that's 169 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: a big thing. You're cooking three meals a day. That's 170 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: something you know. I have been been a part of 171 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: since I was a kid, with my mom and my 172 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: grandmother making sure that it was no McDonald's. Yeah. McDonald's 173 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: was only on Friday when I was growing up. I 174 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: mean when he was watching Women's watching Only Matters, when 175 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: Arkle was coming on, Mom comes on with the McDonald's 176 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: on Friday. It was our only junk fool day. I 177 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 1: love that. So you've been You tell me that you've 178 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: been cooking, cooking every day. Yeah, let's see today, Let's 179 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: see yesterday. When I cook yesterday, I kind of you know, 180 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: I cooked two roasted chickens the day before. But then 181 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: you know, after works, you just have you just have 182 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: the spare chicken. So what you do is you take 183 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: all the spare meat off, you put it in there, 184 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: you take the grease from it, you make a gravy, 185 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: and you make chicken and rice, you know, with the grave, 186 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: and then make some biscuits. It's like biscuits with like 187 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: streaded chicken and rice. And did that. Then I made 188 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: some tenderloins the day before. Then we had turkey tacos 189 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: the day before that. So I'm not gonna lie. I 190 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: didn't know you had it in you. Yeah, today's making 191 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: Today's man, you was gonna be uh cabbage and and 192 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: corn beef. I love corn beef. Yeah, I'm impressed. All right, cool, 193 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: So better see some of these cooking schools when the 194 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: season starts and we get back into doing our next 195 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: gen stats segments. You have to bring some foods we 196 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: can test it. Absolutely. Yeah, let's talk a little bit 197 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: into Jets free agency. I know you've been following the 198 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: Jets obviously throughout this entire offseason. It's been an uncharacteristic, 199 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: very out of the ordinary off season. We know that. 200 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: So a lot of times. The teams have not been 201 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: able to make official announcements yet because of the coronavirus 202 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: and the restrictions of travel. However, we do know that 203 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: multiple NFL analysts around the league have reported a lot 204 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: of stuff that Joe Douglas and the Jets have been 205 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: doing in free agency to rebuild this roster. We mentioned 206 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: it right before we came on the podcast. You said 207 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: that he seems to have added quite a few former 208 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: Ravens players. Would have been some of your initial reactions 209 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: to some of those additions on the squad. Well, just 210 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: the fact that he's bringing god that he understands that 211 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: are important for culture. Um and it isn't you know, 212 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: Joe dugans for the first time in free agents and 213 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: just recent free agencies, not trying to win the back 214 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: pages and it's not pretty, but these are very quality 215 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: football players that are going to add a lot of depth. 216 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: You have enough, you know, splashy players, right, you have 217 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: you have the Jamal, you have most that you have Bell, 218 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: you have Donald and so you have enough of those 219 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: type of players. Now you need quality guys. You need 220 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: glue guys. You need guys that you can count on. 221 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: You need guys with versatility, and that's what he's been 222 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: trying to do. He brought in a lot of guards 223 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: slash centers to be able to be swing man. I 224 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: think you they still believe in Adoga to be that 225 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 1: right tackle, maybe even a left tackle. You know, it'll 226 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,839 Speaker 1: be interesting to see where he decides to go in 227 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: the draft, but I say, you know, you continue to 228 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,719 Speaker 1: you continue to build on that left tackle. If it's 229 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: a great left tackle there, you solidified that because you know, 230 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: if you don't, Sam doesn't have time, He's not gonna 231 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: be able to take the weapons that he's had so 232 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: far perman. It was sad to see Robbie Anderson leaves, 233 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: but Robbie Anderson took a deal. I believe that was 234 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: for himself, betting on himself. He wants to bear to 235 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: prove itself a little bit more with a quarterback. Yeah, 236 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: you know, maybe he hasn't really went over a thousand yards, 237 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: so he wants to go. And whenever you see a 238 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: player take a two year deal, they're betting on themselves, saying, Okay, 239 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: after two years, I want to be back up and 240 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure everybody what I can do that I am 241 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 1: a thousand yard receiver that I can't take the next step, 242 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: and it seemed like he wanted to go somewhere where 243 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: he was comfortable with the head coach. You know, it's 244 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: a different relationship you have with your head coach when 245 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 1: you when you are in college. It's a different relationship 246 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: with junior college coach than you and your professional coach. 247 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: And yeah, I wish Robbie well, but when you look 248 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: at Brashad Perriman, you know, great talent evaluators. We all 249 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: give the Ravens, you know, staff and organization a lot 250 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: of credit for their ability to to see talent, and 251 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: they thought Brashad Perriman was worthy of a first round 252 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,719 Speaker 1: draft pick. He's a vertical receiver as well, averaging over 253 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: seventeen point six yards per catch last year. He's a burner. 254 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: He may be faster than Robbie with some of his 255 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: unofficial clock times at what four, one, nine and all 256 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: these crazy things. He's a track star. So I think Joe, 257 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: you know, I was able to fill that void. But 258 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: he also was able to save some money because Robbie 259 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: is at the tim million mark, Brashod is on the 260 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 1: eight million dollar mark. Yeah. Absolutely, and we'll see more 261 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: how free agency unfolds a little bit. But you mentioned 262 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: culture with Joe Douglas, and I think that's something he's 263 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: really emphasized throughout his entire time with the Jets so far, 264 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: and he's talked about how that is so important inside 265 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: of the locker room. Being a former player yourself, why 266 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: is culture so critical and how large of a role 267 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: does it play on a team? Because, like, like they said, 268 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: and remember the Titans, attitude respects leadership, right, So, like, 269 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: if you if you have great leadership, you're gonna have 270 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: a great attitude. And sometimes things aren't always going to 271 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: be going for you in the football seasons. You know, 272 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: football seasons full of peaks and valleys. But if you 273 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: have high character guys, you have a great culture, you'll 274 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: be able to fight your way out of it and 275 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: be able to rebound. But if you don't, you're just 276 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: going to have an environment that compounds problems. Right that 277 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: what you call people or or teams are uh their 278 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: their fair weather or there you know they're they're front runners. 279 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: You don't want to have front runners because you know 280 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: the majority of the time things are going to go bad, 281 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: and you want to have people to have a belief 282 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: that when things get bad or things don't go the 283 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: way you think they're gonna go, they pull together. And 284 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: that's all about culture. That's all about having that family environment. 285 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: You know, you want to have your players that pull 286 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: together and not pull apart and fragment inside of a a 287 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: locker room, because what happens is you get clicks. We 288 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: have clicks, then you have division within the locker room. 289 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: You need everybody pulling the rope in the same direction. 290 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: And that's what the cultures, all cultures basically about leadership 291 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: and togetherness and humiliarly, yeah, that makes that makes a 292 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: lot of sense, especially within a locker room, and you 293 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: see the different types of personalities all coming together for 294 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: that one goal. Now, I want to specifically zone in 295 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: on the defense. You a former defensive player yourself, know 296 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: how hard Greg Williams worked with its defense last year, 297 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: especially when you think about the run defense. There ain't 298 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: number two overall against the run last year. Now, obviously 299 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: they can use a little bit of help when it 300 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: comes to um past defense, but you've already seen Joe 301 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: Douglas takes some of the steps by report saying that 302 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: he resigned quarterback Brian Pool. What other directions. Do you 303 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: think they need to go on the defensive side. I mean, 304 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: I see that they brought back George Jenkison. That's a 305 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: good quality pick, right, He's a solid guy, but he 306 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: can't be your dominant pass rusher. You know, I look 307 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: at guys out there like Marcus Golden that's still out 308 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: there that can potentially be a retread. You know. Of course, 309 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: the elephant in the room is would you pony up 310 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: the money for gollege David Clowney if that price tag 311 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: comes down. A move like that signals that you have 312 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: you know, next year has to be goal time because 313 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: you can't pay a player fifteen twenty million dollars a 314 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: year and then not expect to be winning or in 315 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs. But you know, this is the business wide open. 316 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: With the exit, Tom Brady, you know you have an 317 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: opportunity now to to to have somebody out other than 318 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots as pensylvan as the divisional champs. 319 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: So we'll see how Joe wants to wants to go. 320 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: You look at Buffalo, looks like they're all in. Miami's 321 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: read too nicely and they still have a lot of 322 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: draft capital. But the Jets, you know, can be right 323 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: there if sound chitect the next step. And that's why 324 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: I said this all season has to be all about 325 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: building around Sam Bronald. We know the defense can be solid. 326 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: It can be a top ten defense with the pieces 327 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: that we have. Great Williams is just that good, you know. 328 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 1: You know, do you want an elite pass rush? Yes, 329 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: you know, look at look out there some potential moves 330 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: out there as well. You hear that Brandon Cooks is 331 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: potentially available. You know, you know in a trade that 332 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: they want to move them because you know this would 333 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: be the fourth time that he moved. But we all 334 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: know that he's a quality number one receiver in his league. 335 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: So it's moved to be made. And Joe Douglas sure 336 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: he has a plan in the draft. You know, the 337 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 1: great thing is if they decided to address the offensive 338 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: side of the ball and get the left tackle with 339 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: the you know, the eleventh pick. It's so many quality 340 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: receivers in this draft right now. You know, everybody wants 341 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: to talk out you know last year, well the two 342 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: best round wide receivers last year came in the second round. 343 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 1: You talk about a J. Brown and you talk about 344 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: DJ Metcalf. You know, these are guys who are picked 345 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: in the second round, So that second round draft pick 346 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 1: for the Jets, and the fact that you know, Joe 347 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: Douglas was able to flip Lennard Williams into a third 348 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: and a fourth round draft pick if he signs with 349 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: these guys, is another way to move up and down 350 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: the board. Gives you board flexibility, gives you options, and 351 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: you know, I think the Jets to be doing well 352 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: if they're able to pick any of those guys. You know, 353 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: Joe Dougats has a great eye for for the offensive line. 354 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,479 Speaker 1: We know that, but this is his first off season 355 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 1: and all eyes on him part. I know that you 356 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: are one who absolutely loves defensive schemes because there have 357 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: been a few times during our Next Gen Stats episodes 358 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: where you've actually walked me through and explained a lot 359 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: of schemes yourself. When you look at Greg Williams, what 360 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: do you like specifically about his coaching style or what 361 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: stands out to you most? Well, what really stood out 362 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: to me most by just kind of breaking them down 363 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: and watch them last year, it was just the fact 364 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: that he's a teacher, right, He's a teacher and that's 365 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: the important part. You know. Um you hear when when 366 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: Joe Judge came in with the Giants, the first thing 367 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: he's talking about was he wants teachers. He doesn't want 368 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: to hear what somebody can't do. You want to see 369 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: what they can do. And I think that's what Greg 370 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: Williams kind of figured out. You look at what he 371 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: was able to do with Hewitt, but what he's able 372 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: to do a blessed on what he was able to 373 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: do with Burgess. You know, these guys with guys that 374 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: struggled at first, but then by the end of the 375 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: season you can tell that they have been coached up, 376 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: learn from their mistakes, and you know, it really helps 377 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: you to be able to develop a lot of depth 378 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 1: because in football, you know, a hundred percent injury rate 379 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 1: is usually what it is. Right. Everybody's gonna be injured 380 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: or banged ever sometime. But if you have guys that 381 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: you can plug in and now you have confidence in 382 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: them because they were able to play. Now you have 383 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: a guy the c J. Mos, if he goes down 384 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: or if somebody else goes down, you feel confident that 385 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: you've seen these players do it before and perform well. 386 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: That's why it's great that he was able to retain 387 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 1: them and bring some of those guys back. I think 388 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: George Jenkings is a great quality player. He makes the 389 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: plays he's supposed to make, and then now that allows 390 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: you to see if he can take the next step 391 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: as he's on a one year deal, so God's be motivated. 392 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: I like the fact that all these deals or deals 393 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: that weren't at the top of the market, but they're 394 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: also deals that they're flexible and you can get in 395 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: and out of them if guys don't perform. Okay, if 396 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: you could choose, when you think about all of the 397 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: free agents that are out there right now, whether it's 398 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: be offensive or defensive, you can choose one top three 399 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: ament to come over to the Jets. Who would you 400 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: choose them one? I mean, I think I think the 401 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: I mean the like I said, the elephant in the room, 402 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: it's the elephant, right. I mean, you talk about the 403 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: most dominant players still left and available, it's you know, 404 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: it's got to be the Damon Clowney and what he's 405 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: able to bring to the team. But there's still some 406 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: quality guys out there, some corners out there that I 407 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: think that that can really help the healthy Jets out. 408 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: But it depends on how they wanted to decide to 409 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: build this team. But it has to start with the 410 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: pass rusher. And when you think about the pass rusher, 411 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: if they can get Marcus Golden, that's one thing. You know, 412 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: Marcus Golden is somebody that that you know, can really 413 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 1: help them out. You know, he had ten sacks last year. 414 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: He's a quality, you know, edge rusher. He would be 415 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: great to add if you can't get Ja Damon Clowney. 416 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: But you know, Ja Damon Clowney is the white whale 417 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: that everybody wants. The the issue is where he comes 418 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: down and and and gives not a discount, but with 419 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: the market dictate that maybe it wasn't as robust as 420 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: he thought it was because you look at guys like Beasley, 421 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 1: You look at guys you know, like Robert Quinn. They 422 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: jumped off the off the field, they dropped off the 423 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: free agency fast. So you know, maybe he'll be able 424 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: to come back and maybe he'll decide to bring his 425 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: you know, his his talents to Gotham City. All right, Bart, Well, 426 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,959 Speaker 1: as usual, it's been a pleasure. Thank you so much 427 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: for coming on the podcast. Giving us a little bit 428 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: of input on Jets free agency. Hopefully we'll talk soon 429 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: and take care in home quarantine. Likewise, many thanks to 430 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: Olivia and Bard and he A. Let's just keep plugging 431 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: along here with the draft. We talked about McKay, Beckton 432 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 1: and Andrew Thomas. Well, next up in the alphabetical order 433 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: in terms of the Big Four is the Alabama right 434 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: tackle Jeddrick Wills. And we've talked about versatility before. Well, 435 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: Jeddrick Wills has been a right tackle since high school 436 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: and he protected to his blindside at Alabama, so he 437 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: clearly had a very big role. And to a Taga 438 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: Vloa actually called Jeddrick Wills the Alpha of the old line, 439 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 1: and a lot of draft pundits have Wills as their 440 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: top rated offensive lineman. Physical dude, nasty street. Great point 441 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: from you Green saying that, oh, he did play right 442 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: tackle at Alabama, but oh, by the way, Alabama was 443 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: playing with a gifted left handed quarterback last season. I 444 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: don't know if you want to mess with it though, 445 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: because he's so good on the right side. Um, it's 446 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: all a matter of footwork, steps of releases, things like that. 447 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: But this is a guy who's got a tremendous nasty streak. 448 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: He plays with an edge. Um, he pretty much can 449 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: do it all. Uh. Solid run blocker, good past protector, 450 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: great feet, good hands. He's kind of like the total package. 451 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: And then in years past we'd all always say that 452 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: total package has gotta be a left tackle. Well, maybe 453 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: this guy is so good on the right side, and 454 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: like you said, he's been playing it since high school, 455 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,199 Speaker 1: maybe you just don't mess with it. Maybe he just 456 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: comes in and he's somebody's right tackle. I think that's 457 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: an interesting point. And he's six four three twelve. He 458 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: ran the forty and five point zero five seconds. So 459 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: the top guys that we've talked about so far freakish athletes. 460 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: We haven't even talked about Tristan Worfs, who debatably had 461 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,919 Speaker 1: the best combine of any offensive lineman. But I just 462 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: want to say this in terms of I think some 463 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: people out there, fans or whoever may be, may say, well, 464 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: why would you draft a right tackle that high? And 465 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: I'll point to a couple of people. The first guy 466 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: I want to say is a former free agent of 467 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: this class, Jack Conklin, who signed with the Cleveland Browns 468 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: the eighth overall pick in two thousand sixteen, and then 469 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: you think of somebody like Lane Johnson to the Philadelphia Eagles. 470 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: He was a top ten pick. He's plugging play on 471 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: the right side, and he's debatedly the top right tackle 472 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: in the game right now. So to your point, why 473 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: would you mess with it? It's not I know a 474 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 1: lot of people will say, well, left tackle is more 475 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: important than right tackle. Well, you know, the way the 476 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: game is shaping up, you gotta be able to protect 477 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 1: no matter what the position is. So if you think 478 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: Jeddrick Wills is the next Lane Johnson or you think 479 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a top elite right tackle, I don't 480 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: think you messed with it either. I think that's a 481 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: very good point. Yeah, And we went through the mock 482 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: draft the other day. Uh mel kiper uh perhaps the 483 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: first real NFL draft guru. And he's still going strong. 484 00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: God bless him. Uh. You know, looking at the flashpoints 485 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: for the tackles, here are the teams that I'm paying 486 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: attention to. Green's Giants of four, Arizona Cardinals at eight, 487 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 1: wild card, maybe Jacksonville at nine, and Cleveland at ten. 488 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: To the Giants go with the tackle as early as four. Again, 489 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: we talked about it the other day. Arizona receiver or 490 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: tackle seems to make sense there, We don't. It's hard 491 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: to get a read what's going on in Jacksonville right now. 492 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: We know they are rebuilding, but Cleveland definitely has some 493 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: work to do with the line. I would imagine the 494 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: Browns barn a move. They're gonna go with one of 495 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: these guys at ten right before the Jets. That's just 496 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: my hunch right now. Yeah, I think that's fair to say, 497 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: And it'll be interesting to see if maybe Joe Douglas 498 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: and the front office potentially want to leap frog a 499 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: team like the Cleveland Browns if one of these guys 500 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: on the board, depending on how everything shakes out between 501 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: now and then. But let's wrap things up. Who are 502 00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: talking about? Tristan wharfs and Worths absolutely blue doors off 503 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: of Lucas Oil Stadium. He's six five, three twenty. He 504 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 1: ran the forty yard dash in four point eight five 505 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: seconds abroad jump of a hundred. I this guy, you know, 506 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: he you knew he was part of the Big four, 507 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: but it almost kind of felt like he was maybe 508 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: the the odd one out. And after his workout in Indianapolis. 509 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: He might be the first guy taken, first true freshman 510 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: to start for Iowa under head coach Kirk Farrence. That's 511 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: saying something considering how long Farrens has been there. The 512 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 1: other thing to take in an account is Iowa runs 513 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: a pro style offense. He has played both sides, just 514 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: like a few a couple of these guys that we 515 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: talked about today, but last year. Green's more on the 516 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 1: right than the left. Home tenant tense starts at right tackle, 517 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: three at left tackle. Um listen, state champion, high school wrestler, 518 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: a guy who is tremendous in track and field as well. 519 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: UH gifted athlete. It's funny you speak about the combine. 520 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: I was at his podium session and people were asking him, Hey, 521 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: do you think you gotta get a little bit meaner? 522 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: And the work said, you know, I consider myself a 523 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,360 Speaker 1: nice guy. My mom wants me to be a polite guy. 524 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: I consider myself a nice guy. But listen, accomplished player 525 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: and his athleticism just off the charts. Yeah. I think 526 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: a couple of things here. One, he's the first Hawkeye 527 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 1: to win Big Ten Offensive Linemen of the Year since 528 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: Brandon sheriff in ten. You mentioned Kirk Farrens. He's been 529 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: there since ninety nine, and for Tristan Worths to be 530 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: the first true freshman to start under him in a 531 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: pro style offense, when you think about the kind of 532 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: guys and the kind of nastiness that Ferrens and the 533 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: Iowa Hawkeye program likes to employ, I think that says 534 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: a lot about Worths and his nastiness. And in terms 535 00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: of right tackle left tackle, Dane Brugler of The Athletic 536 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: told me this. He said, well, the only reason why 537 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: Tristan Worfs is playing the right side is because their 538 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 1: left tackle cannot play on the right side of the line, 539 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: so wors has the flexibility to be able to do both. 540 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: And when you just even if you just watch his 541 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: highlights on YouTube or just punch something, and you can 542 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: see how well he moves, which is why he's such 543 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: an intriguing player. And I think that if any one 544 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 1: of these four is on the board at eleven for 545 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 1: the Jets, I don't think that they can go wrong. 546 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: And I know some of the other names out there, 547 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 1: whether it be trade back options or potential trade back 548 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,239 Speaker 1: options or the next tier, you think of guys like 549 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: Houston's Josh Jones, who played in a lower level of 550 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: competition than the guys that we've talked about. You think 551 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: about USC s Austin Jackson, and then even talk about 552 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: somebody that played opposite of Andrew Thomas potentially in round two, 553 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: Isaiah Wilson out of Georgia, Ezra Cleveland out of Boise State. 554 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: But this tackle class is top heavy and there's a 555 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: lot of talent here. If the Jets want to beef 556 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: up their offensive line on draft night, yeah, and the 557 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: chances are I would say good that there will be 558 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: one or two there at eleven. Now, I don't think 559 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: all four are gonna be there. I don't think that's possible. 560 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: We just talked about the Giants. We talked about UM Arizona, Jacksonville, Cleveland, 561 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: UM and and some of their needs and where they 562 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: are as franchises. But I don't think all four will 563 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: be off the board at that point. And no, this too. 564 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: Joe Douglas is not going to go into draft weekend 565 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: saying I have to get this or I have to 566 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: get that. He's not going to construct the roster like that. Um, 567 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: you know, these guys, this is a top heavy draft 568 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: tachle class. But I would say to Greens, there's a 569 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: lot of people high on the depth in terms of 570 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: round two in three, And you just mentioned a number 571 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: of those games and names, including Josh Jones, and some 572 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: of those players might not be Day one starters for you, 573 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: but ultimately they might project as starters. And when you 574 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: look at the Jets where they're at, go back to 575 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: last year too. Now this was before Joe Douglas came 576 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: in as general manager, but the Jets took Chuma Dog 577 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: out of the USC in the third round. And again 578 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: maybe potentially he could take a leap for you in 579 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: between years one and two, So a lot to play 580 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: out before then. But yeah, I don't remember a tackle 581 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: class like this in a while. Yeah, I think that's 582 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: fair to say. And it's funny that you mentioned. Obviously, 583 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: it seems like right now all four of those guys 584 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: won't be available for the Jets at eleven. But you know, 585 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: with that being said, the receivers we mentioned this yesterday, 586 00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: none of them might be taken by the chance by 587 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: the time the Jets draft at eleven. And we'll break 588 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: down the draft between now and April twenty three, when 589 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: the first round is scheduled to go. Obviously will monitor, 590 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: but it seems like all things are pointing that the 591 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: draft will remain April twenty three to April. And that's 592 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: all we have here on the Official Jet Podcast powered 593 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: by Amazon Web Services. E and I will be back 594 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: next week. Many thanks to Olivian barn and e A. 595 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: Have a great weekend and I'll catch up with you Monday. 596 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: Yes sounds good.
