Speaker 1: by Amazon Web Services, back on the podcast waves here Monday,

4
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: are basically gonna go through free agency, not only in

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 1: terms of the Jets, but in terms of the a

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: f C East, a little bit of the entire NFL,

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: and basically do like a superlative style podcast here where

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna answer some questions in terms of the Jets,

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: like who who's somebody that either signed with the Jets

10
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: officially or reportedly agreed to terms with that. E and

11
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: I are excited to see in Green and White and

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: questions along those lines, and that Olivia Landis who was

13
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: joined by Ralph Bacciano of s n Y. But E

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: A just first things first, do you have a nice

15
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: weekend in quarantine Land? Green's a great weekend. Again, we're

16
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: thinking about everybody out there, especially those out on the

17
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: front line. But free agency is rolling on for the

18
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: New York Jets and everybody else in the National Football League,

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: and that draft is right around the corner, only about

20
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: three plus weeks away. But you know, I'm happy to

21
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: take a deep dive look at free agency. So far

22
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: about two weeks in. Okay, just wanna start things off here.

23
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: The first one is which free agent signing that became

24
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: official by the Jets or which reported signing so agreement

25
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: to terms agreement in principle. Who's somebody in anybody? It

26
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: could be either or are you most excited to see

27
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: play in the Green and White? Well, I think you

28
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: got to go to a new player, right, you know,

29
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: because we've had an opportunity to watch novel ewit blossom

30
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: before our eyes, or a guy like Brian Pool really

31
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: flourished under Greg Williams or Alex Lewis showcases tennactity inside

32
00:01:54,400 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: the trenches. I'll take a player who It was announced

33
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: on Monday that it is official Connor McGovern now New

34
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: York Jets, signing with the Jets. Twenty six years old,

35
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: Green started thirteen game. I've started all sixteen games for

36
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: the Broncos last season and thirty one in the last

37
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: thirty two. It always catches my and a center does

38
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: not commit a penalty, and Connor McGovern did not commit

39
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: a punally last year for the Broncos. Also last two

40
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: years or the last two years with the Denver Broncos.

41
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay became the first undrafted free agent running back

42
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: in NFL history to eclipse the thousand yard mark. Uh.

43
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: McGovern's considered a very good pass protector and he also

44
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: gets after it in the run game. And he has

45
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: position flexibility. You know, Joe Douglas likes that, being the

46
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: former offensive lineman at Richmond himself. Uh. He can play

47
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: guard as well, and that's where he started on a career.

48
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: So interesting the interested to see McGovern and if indeed

49
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: he is the jets new pivot, especially as you consider

50
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: that the pivot has been has been pretty much in

51
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: flux ever since Nick Mangold retired. Uh, there seems there

52
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: was Wesley Johnson one year, that was Jonathan Harrison, and

53
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: the Spencer Long is Ryan Khalil. Kind of a revolving

54
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: door there. So I'm excited to see mcgoverned too. For me,

55
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: the person that I want to focus on, also on

56
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: the offensive line, is somebody that the Jets reportedly agreed

57
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: to terms with. That's George Fan, And to me, I'm

58
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: excited because the thing that stands out with Fan is

59
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: the athleticism and seattle. He played both on the left

60
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: and the right side. Started for Dwayne Brown on the

61
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: left side when Brown went down. And I want to

62
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: see what this guy has, because the one word that

63
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: you hear in terms of George Fan is one athleticism

64
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: and two is upside, because he's somebody who has rare

65
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: size and rare athletic ability body of that size. And

66
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: we've talked about his bat basketball background in college before.

67
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: And I was just looking this up today, and I'm

68
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: not trying to compare these guys by any stretch of

69
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: the imagination, but somebody that was a rather you know,

70
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: it wasn't an early bloomer in the sense of he

71
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: was a first round picker whatever. Jason Peters is somebody

72
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: that was undrafted in two thousand four, signs with the

73
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: Bills practice squad players first, becomes a full time starter

74
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: three seasons after the fact. And that's similar to George Fan.

75
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying George Fann is gonna become Jason

76
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: Peters and by any means, but I'm saying his athletic

77
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: ability is rare, and I'm excited to see what he

78
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: can bring to the Green and White. Okay, So that

79
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: was that question. Now let's go to kind of the

80
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: opposite here. Which free agent signing official or not meaning

81
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: free agent signing or reportedly agreed to the terms for

82
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: the New York Jets, do you think has the most

83
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: approved Let's stick on the offensive side of the ball.

84
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: Let's go to a skill position. Let's talk about Brashad Perriman.

85
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: I would say most to prove because the former first

86
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: round pick, so a lot of expectations for a guy

87
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: who had selected overall in two thousand fifteen out of

88
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: Central Florida. With that being said, when you look at

89
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: the Jets where they are at at wide receiver, they

90
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: need help on the outside, and Perriman flourished down the

91
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: stretch for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Remember last year playing

92
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: under Byron Leftwidge and Bruce Arians there in Tampa, they

93
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: had a pair of stud receivers and Mike Evans and

94
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin, and still down the stretch, Perryman flourished thirty

95
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: six reception sive yards, almost eighteen yards of reception, six

96
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: touchdowns at all. We talked about what he did down

97
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: the stretch over that those final five games with the Buccaneers.

98
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: But this is a big time talent. He has big

99
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: time ability. I just think that when you think of

100
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: a former first round picks, great job by Joe Douglas,

101
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: low risk, potentially high reward, and if you just look

102
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: at the way he finished last year, maybe Perriman is

103
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: a late bloomer. He's had some hiccups along the way

104
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: with injuries and things like that. But the Jets are

105
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: getting a guy who should feel awfully good about himself

106
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: coming to play with UH very accurate quarterback when he

107
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: has time, and Sam Donald who also can deliver on

108
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: the money. Verdictly I like that answer. And in terms

109
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: of Powerman, I think that if you're a Jets fan,

110
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: you're hoping that the last five games of the season,

111
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: really Powerman turned a corner and he carries at into

112
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: two thousand and twenty. For me, I'm going on the

113
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. For me, it's Pierre to Zeer,

114
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: who had just reportedly agreed to terms with after he

115
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: was officially released by the Indianapolis Colts, and he had

116
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: a great, a stellar really two thousand eighteen in Indianapolis.

117
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: He started twelve games for the Colts and he had

118
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: only one pick, he had eight pass defenses. And then

119
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: he gets um then he gets a deal from the

120
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: Colts and he ends up being released a year later.

121
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: He only started eleven games last year in twenty nineteen,

122
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: and it feels like that he had an injury plague season,

123
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: even though he didn't miss a whole lot of time.

124
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: And you just get the sense that Pierre Desire is

125
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: one of those players that he bounced around a little

126
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: early in his career. He uh two years with the Browns,

127
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: then one year with the Chargers before spending the last

128
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: three with the Colts. And I think that Pierre Dezier

129
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: definitely has the size that you're looking for in a

130
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: corner six one two. He's twenty nine years old, will

131
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: be thirty when the season starts, assuming it starts on time,

132
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: and I think that he has an opportunity here to

133
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: one come in and start right away, just given the

134
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: numbers that the Jets have on the outside. As we

135
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: talk here on March, are you and too? I think

136
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: that he's shown flashes where he can be a legitimate player.

137
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: I've seen on Twitter a lot of people posting clips

138
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: when he was lining up against DeAndre Hopkins, and those

139
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: two teams, the Colts and the Texans obviously see each

140
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: other twice a year. So I think that Pierre to

141
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: Year has a lot to prove, but he also has

142
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: a great opportunity ahead of him. And moving on to

143
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: our next question, which resigning, whether it's official or reported

144
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: agreed to terms, do you think will turn out to

145
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: be the most beneficial for the Jets if we're talking

146
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: like a year from now. Well, you know, call me

147
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: a homer, but I like all the resignings. You know, Alex,

148
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: I do. Alex Lewis started what twelve games for your

149
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: last season, and there was a reason why Joe Douglas

150
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: went out and sent a seventh pick, seventh round pick

151
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: to the Ravens because he didn't want to chance it

152
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: when he hit waivers double. Hewitt uh had a career

153
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: year last year and flourished. And we've talked at length

154
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 1: about the depth at the inside line record position. But

155
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm going with the pool. I'm going with the Florida Gator.

156
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm going with the nickel corner who was fantastic last season,

157
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: seven defensive snaps. He also contributed plays on special teams.

158
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: Greens Um. This is a guy who we saw I

159
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: get a safety in Week one standing up Frank Gore,

160
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: one of the toughest running backs in NFL history at

161
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: the goal line MetLife Stadium, then to pick six against

162
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: the Raiders. He was an integral part of the NFL

163
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: number two run defense. It's like you have a linebacker

164
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: down in the box and he plays such a critical

165
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: role um covering those guys, those shifty guys who run

166
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: those multiple option routes. Uh At Brian Pool, a physical

167
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: player who's just a perfect bit for this defense. I

168
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: didn't want to see him anywhere else. So let's take

169
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: the gator. I like that answer. I was between Brian

170
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: Pool and Jordan Jenkins, and I'm gonna go with Jordan Jenkins,

171
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: who reportedly resigned with the Jets. And for Jenkins, he's

172
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: somebody that every year since he was drafted in two

173
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: thousands sixteen in the third round, his sack production has

174
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: increased to the point last season when he had a

175
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: career high eight sacks. And we've talked about it before.

176
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: You could make the argument that he could have reached

177
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: ten sacks had he played in a full sixteen games. Well,

178
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: I think that there's a good chance this season that

179
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: Jordan Jenkins could get ten sacks, especially if you look

180
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: at the trajectory of his career so far. So I

181
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: think that Jordan Jenkins resigning very imperative for the Jets,

182
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: not only from pass rush, but also when you look

183
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: at what he does against the run. I think that

184
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: he's got that dog mentality. That's not a Georgia pun,

185
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: but he's got that dog mentality that Greg Williams is

186
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: looking for. And I think that was an integral to

187
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: your point, Brian Pool, an integral part of the jets

188
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: number two run defense and part of this defense overall.

189
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: I think Jordan Jenkins is the same thing. And and

190
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: Green's I would say, all these guys that we're talking about,

191
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: and I'm glad you took Jordan Jenkins there, and want

192
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: with the bulldog we stayed in the sec per se

193
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: is that these guys are great cultural fits. And I

194
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: don't want to get us off tangent here as we

195
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: continue with our little question series reviewing free agency, But

196
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: the Alex Lewis is, the Jordan Jenkins, the Brian Pools,

197
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: the Novel Hewitts, and the list goes on. Those guys

198
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: are big fits in the room as well as what

199
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: they bring to the table on the football field. Very well,

200
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: said a couple other guys you think that the Jets

201
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: resigned and reportedly Reef signed Bennet Jackson, Arthur Millette, James Burgess,

202
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: just to name a few more. And real quick, let's

203
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: hear from Olivia Landis, who caught up with Ralph Acciano.

204
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: General manager Joe Douglas. Obviously in his first year as

205
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: the Jets g M, there's been some reports around the

206
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: league by multiple NFL analysts on some moves that he's

207
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: already made heading into free agency, he made it very clear,

208
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: both vocally and to everybody, that one of his first

209
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: priorities was going to be building that offensive line. When

210
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: you look at some of the moves he's made regarding

211
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: the offensive line so far, what stands out to you

212
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: most well, the overall focus of Joe Douglas on that

213
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: offensive line has stood out, and it's exactly what he

214
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: promised to do, and he went out and did it.

215
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: Um He didn't do it by going out and doing

216
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: kind of making the mistakes that a lot of people

217
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: doing free agency where they go out and they buy

218
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: the biggest ticket items, the most expensive players, the biggest names.

219
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: He didn't do that. He approached this like a scout

220
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: and found guys who he valued, who he fit his system,

221
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: who he could get on reasonable deals. And when you

222
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: look at what he's brought in, you know, George Pant

223
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: at left tackle, Connor McGovern at center, a Greg Van

224
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: rot In at guard. Um he brings back Alex Lewis

225
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: and guard a guy he traded for from the Ravens

226
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: last summer. All these players um are upgrades over what

227
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: they had last year. And they may not be exciting signings.

228
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: They're not the flashy ones that will get the back

229
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: pages in New York and get the fans pumped up.

230
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: But this is how you win. He said, this is

231
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: what he was gonna do. He said, you have to

232
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: build that line. You need that to win. And you

233
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: know he he kept his promise. When you look at

234
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: some of these additions along the offensive line, what makes

235
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: this offense now different with some of the new players

236
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 1: that he's added, Well, we can only hope that it's different. Obviously,

237
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas knows a lot more about some of these

238
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,599
Speaker 1: players than I do, than it really anybody does. I

239
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: don't think most of us have seen George Fant play

240
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: at left tackle. I'm assuming I'm sure you know we'll

241
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: talk about this at some point. I'm assuming they're going

242
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: to draft another tackle as well. The finishing pieces aren't there.

243
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: But what will be better, What will be different is,

244
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: you know, Sam Donald will not be running for his

245
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: life as he was so much towards the end of

246
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: last year when he was finally healthy. H Levian Bell

247
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: will have room to run, actual holes that he can

248
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: get through. Um that transforms the offense. You have too,

249
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: dynamic playmakers in a in a great young quarterback. I

250
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: think it is going to be just a fantastic player

251
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: for years to come. Levian Bell one of the best

252
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: running backs in the league when he's healthy. When he

253
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: gets going, if you don't have the offensive line in

254
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: front of them, he doesn't matter. Their ability just doesn't

255
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: matter at all. You need to block for them. You

256
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: need to protect them. You need to open the holes.

257
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: And in theory, that's what this offensive line will be

258
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: able to do that last year's offensive line couldn't. Ralph,

259
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: We're already nearly two weeks into free agency so far.

260
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: A lot of people always talk about that initial first

261
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: wave of free agency, but it's still going and I

262
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: don't know if a lot of people know that but

263
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: what is the biggest difference between that first initial wave

264
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: and maybe some of the guys that kind of go

265
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: under the radar that the Jets can snag. Well, the

266
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: biggest difference obviously price. Usually any guy that still out

267
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: there now, with maybe the exception of Javian Clowney, is

268
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: the big name, the edge rusher that everybody seems to want.

269
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: Most people are going to get UM deals that are

270
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: much shorter, lower price than they wanted that anybody expected.

271
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: They're gonna be bargains now, and this is where general

272
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: managers really uh earn their money. That you know, the

273
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: big splashy free agents, the top guys, those are easy

274
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: to find. It's can they use the remaining cap room.

275
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: Can you find a cornerback that maybe nobody's looking at,

276
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: who can fill in the way you know Brian Poole

277
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: last year it was a bargain free agent, came in

278
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: a one year deal, played terrific for the Jets. Can

279
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: they find a receiver, for example, the way they just

280
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: found Brashad perriman very inexpensive deal. When you look at him,

281
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: he's as good numbers wise, speed wise as Robby Anderson

282
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: who they lost so UM now that second wave are

283
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: guys who are not going to necessarily excite you when

284
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: you hear the names. They're not gonna be break the

285
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: bank type free agents, but you know, very good team.

286
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: Towards the end of the year, if the Jets are

287
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: completing for a playoff spot, you may look at some

288
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: of these guys and think, wow, I can't believe that

289
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: the Jets got him for that little You know, those

290
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: are the bargains that the GMS now have to find.

291
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: Besides the offense, the Jets obviously have a lot of

292
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: holes to fill on this roster. It's been reported that

293
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: they made some cuts already and they're bringing some former

294
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: players back onto the defense. When you look at this

295
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: defense and what Greg Williams did with it, they were

296
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: ranked number seven overall as a defense in the league,

297
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: number two against the run. What other holes do they

298
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: need to fill to provide Greg Williams with what he

299
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: needs to succeed. Yeah. For first of all, Greg Williams

300
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: was a miracle worker last year, and I think what

301
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: he did was, you know, we all looked at the

302
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: defense and thought the players just aren't there, but he

303
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: showed us that in the right scheme they are there,

304
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: and you know, guys who didn't think a lot of

305
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: last year Neville Hewitt, m James Burgess linebacker are now

306
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: being brought back because Greg Williams knows how to use

307
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: them and there's value in players like that. So, UM,

308
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: you know the things he's able to do. You know,

309
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: he doesn't necessarily need that. We're talking about Clowne a

310
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: little while ago. Obviously the Jets could use an edge rusher.

311
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: They bring Jordan Jenkins back, UM, that will help as well.

312
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: They don't necessarily need that one guy who's going to

313
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: get seventeen eighteen sacks because Greg Williams knows how to

314
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 1: use the pieces that he has. UM, what are they missing?

315
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: Depth at cornerback is something I'd like to see more of.

316
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: Both of their starting cornerbacks Tremaine Johnson and Darryl Roberts

317
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: have been cut or will be cut, you know, according

318
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: to our reporting. UM, I think that they need they

319
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: need that edge rush or even with Jordan Jenkins supposedly

320
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: coming back, I think that they could use some other

321
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: help and that edge rushing department. UM. But for the

322
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: most part, he has more players there than we ever

323
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: gave him credit for. UM. Adding some depth, adding a

324
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: few more under the radar pieces, they could be even better.

325
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: And it's mostly because he's such a good coach. Ralph.

326
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: When you look at free age agency as a whole,

327
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: and really just the Jets considering the draft is coming up,

328
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: although we're not quite sure what's going to happen with

329
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: that yet, there's still a lot of free agency left.

330
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: What are some of your final expectations or moves that

331
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: you expect Joe Douglas to make before the start of season. Yeah.

332
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: The two things that I'm watching our offensive line because

333
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't believe he's done yet with that rebuilding project,

334
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: and receiver because I just don't think the Jets have

335
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: enough weapons right now. Um, we'll start with receiver. Obviously,

336
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: Jameson Crowder was terrific. With Robby Anderson gone and Brashad

337
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: Perriman coming in, that's you know, it's kind of a

338
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: pretty close to one for one swap there. Beyond that,

339
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: I'd like to see Sam a few more weapons. And

340
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: this draft, from everything scouts and and personnel people have

341
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: told me over the last few months, this is an

342
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: incredibly deep drafted receiver um, and even in the second

343
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: and third round. So I could see the Jets definitely

344
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: adding one receiver UM in those first two days, maybe more.

345
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: There's a couple of free agency bargain guys still out there,

346
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: but they need guys for Sam Donald to target to

347
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: guy and hopefully somebody who's kind of a game breaker,

348
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: either with speed or ability, just something where he can

349
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: change the way a defense plays. UM and the offensive line.

350
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: You know, when you look across that offensive line, you know,

351
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: assuming George Fanta is the left tackle and everybody else

352
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: is sort of an interior guy, there's still that right

353
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: tackle spot. So maybe he moves Fan to the right

354
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: side and drafts a left tackle. Maybe he drafts the

355
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: right tackle. But I gotta believe that with that eleventh

356
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: overall pick, a receiver might be in play, but there

357
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: are still some really good offensive lineman that should be there.

358
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna end up drafting a tackle in

359
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: that spot. So those are the two positions. I'm kind

360
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: of waiting to see what happens next. There's a lot

361
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 1: of time left still. The draft is coming up, like

362
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: we just talked about, still a lot of moves to

363
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: be made in free agency, so we'll have to see

364
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: where Joe Douglas goes for the remainder of the time.

365
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: But for now, Ralph, thank you so much for coming

366
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: on the podcast. I appreciate your input. Thank you so much.

367
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: My pleasure, Livia anytime. Thanks to Olivia and Ralph. And

368
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: let's dive right back into our question series here. Let's

369
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: let's hit the market here. I'm gonna say, who's somebody

370
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 1: that's on the market still so unrestricted free agent that

371
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: you think could potentially be a good fit for this

372
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: Jets team, whether it be on offense or defense. Going

373
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: back to the offensive side ball, let me stay at

374
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: tackle and Joe Douglas knows the line better than anybody.

375
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: There's two guys on the market right now. Who I am?

376
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: My name? Huh? I have my eye on Jason Peters

377
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: thirty eight years old, uh nine time pro bowler six

378
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: four three eight pounds. Another guy lead by example type. UM,

379
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: it's interesting that he is still out there. What does

380
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: his future hold? You know? Joe Douglas knows that and

381
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: this man very well and also everybody talks about what

382
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: he brings to the table from an a tangible standpoint.

383
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 1: The other guy that is completely went under the radar

384
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: is a guy who told our own people that he

385
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: thought he had his best year last year, and that's

386
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: Calvin Beachum, so Kelvin Beachum and another guy who really

387
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: makes a ton of contributions inside the community. And you

388
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: know also us studying presence for that offensive line last

389
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: year that suffered so many injuries. So I think either

390
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: one of those guys, they they would be good fits.

391
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on the defensive side of the ball,

392
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna avoid Jenavion Clowney because he's somebody he's

393
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: unrestricted free agent right now, and obviously he could make

394
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: an impact on whatever team he ends up with. I

395
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: want to go kind of that next layer and somebody

396
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: keeping it at edge that I think that had a

397
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: good year last year for the Crosstown Giants. That's Marcus Golden.

398
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: And Joe Douglass has talked about adding some presidence at

399
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: edge and on every team because he said on defense,

400
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: if you're keeping up with the passing league, you gotta

401
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: affect the pass and that comes in two ways, getting

402
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: after the quarterback and in the secondary. And the Jets

403
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: reportedly resigned Jordan Jenkins and to add Marcus Golden, who

404
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: had ten sacks last year, played in sixteen games with

405
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: the Giants. I think, you know, he's had a kind

406
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: of a peaks and valleys career so far, Like he

407
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: had twelve and a half sacks with the Cardinals in

408
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: seen and then had two and a half and eighteen,

409
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: So I think that he's somebody that's been streaky, but

410
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: I think that he could add some value there and

411
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: on at corner. I mean, it's basically whoever Joe Douglas

412
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: and company think could add to this team. I think

413
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: that the Jets are probably gonna look at corners, whether

414
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: it be in the draft or free agency, but that's

415
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: who I have my eye on, in particular, somebody like

416
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: Marcus Golden. And I just want to wrap things up

417
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: by talking about the Jets one more time. Where do

418
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: you think that the Jets can can continue to be

419
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: active as the spring rolls on? And then where do

420
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: you think that they won't be so active before the

421
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: draft starts. Let's start where they don't have to be,

422
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: and I don't need to anticipate they will be defensive

423
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: side of the ball. You are sat inside linebacker. I

424
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: don't remember ever a time that the Jets had so

425
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: much depth at the position. That speaks to the coaching

426
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: and the development here. Uh, Frank Bush, Greg Williams, because

427
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: whoever they had out there last year, we're so productive

428
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: at the tight end position. I feel it's awfully similar

429
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: offensively where you have four guys, especially if Herndon comes

430
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: back healthy greens. Those are two positions where I'm like, okay,

431
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: you know you go to sleep tonight. You know you

432
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: sat there. Um tackle offensively because Joe Douglas and his

433
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: staff had at tacked the interior offensive line, So tackle

434
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: across the way wide receiver. We talked about Perran Perriman earlier, right,

435
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: so uh, there's some question marks. Who's gonna be lining

436
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: up maybe across the way. We know Jameson Crowder is

437
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: the slot backup quarterback because the Jets owen six the

438
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: last two years in games that Sam Donald has not started.

439
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: Remember Sam Donald seven and six as a starter last year.

440
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: Backup running back lebian Bell remains one of the top

441
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: talents in football. I don't care what his numbers say

442
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: last year. You go back and look at the film

443
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: when he brings to the table as a blocker, as

444
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: a receiver. You know, listen, lebian Bell is still he's

445
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: still a very effective player, especially if you get some

446
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: more blocking on front um. But who's gonna be behind him?

447
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: Because Blap and Time Montgomery unrestricted free agents, so there's

448
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: some question marks back there. And then defensively, you've talked

449
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: about it before, cornerback and edge very well said, and

450
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: particularly the positions that stand out to me, and we

451
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: discussed this in the video series is quarterback and running back,

452
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: just because right now Mike White is the only quarterback

453
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: outside of Sam Donald on the roster and he was

454
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: a practice squad player for the Jets. There's still a

455
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: lot of moves to be made here in free agency,

456
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: and you know, we have to say this again and

457
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: feel like we're being a dead horse, but the Jets

458
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: have four picks in the top seventy nine and in

459
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: the draft, and two of the most rich positions are

460
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: tackle and wide receiver. So if the Jets don't address

461
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: one of those positions through free agency between now and

462
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: the draft, they could very well address it in the draft.

463
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: And the same thing goes for edge and corner. But

465
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,320

466
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,880

00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,320

00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: day one, in Round four or before. So a lot

469
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,439

00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: that was Monday's podcast here on the Official Jets Podcast,
