1
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: We are presented by when Beatt Betty's the team's fourt

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: bet together went Bat. Eric Ellen in the studio, joined

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: by former Jets offensive linement Damian Woody, who is an

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: analyst on ESPN and you might find him on Twitter,

5
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: spaces anybody talking Jets football. D wood is the man.

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: So I figured, Hey, we gotta bring you on board

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: the official podcast. Great to see you. Thanks for having

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: me on the Uh, no doubt about it. So schedule

9
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: release a couple of weeks ago. You guys are in

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: the un enviable position of going through each team and

11
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: giving a record out game by game. You said, for

12
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: the New York Jets eight and nine of four game improvement,

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: you think things are looking up for this team? Oh absolutely, Eric,

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 1: I I love the vision um the coach that that

15
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas g MG improvement that they made down the streight.

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: Actually it didn't you know, it didn't quantify necessarily and wins,

17
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: but you just saw how this team just kept fighting

18
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 1: and and then to see the front office, front office

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: you know, kind of supplement what was already on the

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: roster with a strong free agent class and in the

21
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: draft class, and I think you know this has a

22
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: recipe for a big step forward for the New York

23
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: Justice year. What's the challenge in terms of instilling a

24
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: culture on a team that hasn't won in a long time.

25
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: We go back to your days and we're gonna talk

26
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: about that coming up. But as far as Robert Salah

27
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: is trying to bring um a different mentality and you

28
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: saw it last year. But now for the Jets, they

29
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 1: gotta take that next stop and actually win more games. Yeah,

30
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: So that's a great, really good question. I think, you know,

31
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: Number one, you gotta be a leader of men. You

32
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: gotta have the ability to have guys buy into your vision.

33
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: And that's the other aspect of it is you gotta

34
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: have a vision for what your program, what you want

35
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: your program to be. And then I think the third

36
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: thing is just a strong locker room chemistry bringing in

37
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: the right type of guys, guys with high character, high

38
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: football like you to be able to execute that vision.

39
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: And I think Robert salt is the is the right

40
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: guy to do that. I think you saw you know,

41
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: him laying the foundation last year in the season where

42
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: you know, obviously there was a lot of first going

43
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: on first year off of the coordinator, you know rookie

44
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: head coach. You know, uh, defensive plate called. There hadn't

45
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: been calling defensive players, you know that long and then

46
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: obviously a lot of first and second year players. But

47
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: the foundation was laid last year and that's that's how

48
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: you start to build a coach in the locker room. Uh.

49
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: Salis talked d what about closing the gap inside the

50
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: a Ces. The Billings have won the division the last

51
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: two years, I think in eleven of one mark inside

52
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: the division over that time span. The Jets looking for

53
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: their first division win under Robert sala I wrote the

54
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: other day that I think there's gonna be interesting race

55
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: as far as I can place in the FC East.

56
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: When you look at the Jets in the landscape of

57
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: the division, how has it changed this offseason? Yeah, I mean,

58
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: think about what's going on in the in the division.

59
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: Right you got Miami Dolphins with the new head coach

60
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: with Mike McDaniel for he's gonna be a first time

61
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: play caller. And then look what happened in New England.

62
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniel, the officer coordinator moves on to the Las

63
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders. So you have changed at a couple of

64
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: the divisional rivals, and we all know what with change

65
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: can come some you know, can come some adversity, um

66
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: you know, with those things. And the thing I love

67
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: about the Jets is that their whole system is in

68
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: place for a second year of a row, something that

69
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: wasn't It wasn't commonplace not that long ago in this organization.

70
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: So you got a team in the Jets where you

71
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: got you know, the same officer system, same defensive system,

72
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: same coach and staff and uh and then you just

73
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, adding no one players to go along with

74
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: the nucleus is already there. So that right there in

75
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: and up itself is is is an envious position, um

76
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: you know for the just compared to the the other two,

77
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: the other two teams in the division and the Patriots

78
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins. What's the importance of O T A

79
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: S from a team perspective? Obviously this is all still voluntary,

80
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: so within the confines of the CBA, players don't have

81
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: to come. And Robert Sale has talked about having a

82
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: different kind of pace another all pace is not the

83
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: right word, but different kind of format. This year, not

84
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: many uh team sessions where you're going eleven on eleven

85
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: more seven on seven work installs, individual work, what can

86
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: be uh dawn during the spring, that's very important for

87
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: a team. Well, I always say championships are one in

88
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: the off season. You know a lot of people think

89
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: it's the work that you're doing in the season, but

90
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: championships are one in the off season. Where they be

91
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: the weight room, meeting, you know, in the meeting rooms

92
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: O t a many camps. That's where you put in

93
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: That's where you laid the groundwork to in order to

94
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: win those hall hard fought games during the season. So listen,

95
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: I know the jets of putting in the work. Um.

96
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: I think what Robert Salo is basically saying with you

97
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: know kind of um, I don't know if you know,

98
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: letting off the you know, letting off the gas per se.

99
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: But I think the overall focus is making sure his

100
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: guys are get to week one because ultimately, you noticed Eric,

101
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: you know, that's what's really important, making sure you have

102
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: your roster in tech, all your important pieces in tech

103
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: in order to go out there and attack the opponent.

104
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: So we saw what happened last year, you know, in

105
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: the in the off season training camp with you know,

106
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: for instance, called Lawson going down with that ruptured achilles,

107
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: just making sure this roster is is able to get

108
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: through clean and unscathed and ready to go Week one.

109
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: What do you want to see from the Jets of

110
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: the tackle position? McKay Backton obviously working out on its

111
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: own right now. We'll have to see what happens this week,

112
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: but Robert Sale has been clear about it that there

113
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: is going to be a battle to the left tackle position.

114
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: George Fann did some good things last season and a

115
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: perfect world on what do you want to see from

116
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: the Jets at the tackle spot? Well, listen, I I

117
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: can't you know, I don't have my crystal ball as

118
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: far who's gonna play where where? But what I will

119
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: say is, you know, once you get to you know,

120
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: many camp and ultimately training camp, you want to kind

121
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: of sort off this battle as soon as possible because

122
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: you want guys to find their positions and then ultimately

123
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: everyone you know, start working on that chemistry and cohesion

124
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: because as you know, Eric, you know the one thing

125
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: about the office line, you gotta get five guys to

126
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: play a players one and you don't want a lot

127
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: of you don't want a prolonged battle at the left

128
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: tackle spot. You want guys to kind of get settled

129
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: in their spots so they can work on the communication

130
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: between them and the and the person adjacent to them.

131
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: And and ultimately it just happened that chemistry between the

132
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: five guys who are wanna be out there once. The

133
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: potential of this line though, after adding Lincoln Thomlinson free agency.

134
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: The Jets love Elijah Vera Tucker. He's gonna slide over

135
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: to the right guard position. Connor McGovern did a lot

136
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: of good things at the center position. I think that

137
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: went under the radar last year. He loves this system.

138
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: Uh and Fant was really a fine, uh, highly athletic

139
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: dude who was used all over the place in Seattle,

140
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: and I know you have to love that consider in

141
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: your background. Absolutely, I think this offensive line has the

142
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: potential be really really good this year. Um, you know,

143
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: you got a mixture of like high draft fix along

144
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: on along the line. You got a late bloom and

145
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: George Fan who has like a basketball background, didn't get

146
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: utilized all that much during Seattle. So even though he's

147
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, I believe he's thirty, he doesn't have a

148
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: lot of tread on the time. As far as a

149
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: lot of playing time. Um, and then you know Connor

150
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: McGregor mcgovernor, who who's who fits this system to a team.

151
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: So I think you've got a really good blend of

152
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: guys who you know. I think everyone combined together that

153
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: some of the parts can be really really special. Um,

154
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: if you get those guys settled in and taking a

155
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: bunch of reps and reps and being ready to go,

156
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: what is well Zach Wilson, his next step look like

157
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: if we saw him take some strides down the stretch,

158
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: particularly protecting the football. But the Jets will always say

159
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: this offense is predicated on running the football, and we

160
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: talked about the strength with the offensive line than they

161
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: had a brief hall to the equation. You got Michael Carter,

162
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: you got Tevin Coleman, you have Ty Johnson. You have

163
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: guys who can uh get after it in the run game.

164
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: What do you think his next step is with more

165
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: pieces around him? Well, I think for him, it's the

166
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: mastery of the playbook, right, you know, just having to

167
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: learning the nuances, the little things that can take his

168
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: game to the next level. I don't think anyone can

169
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: doubt his physical attributes. I think it's arm talented special

170
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: I think he's a very athletic quarterback, but in this game,

171
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, you win the games from

172
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: the neck up. And so for for Zach Wilson, it's

173
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: it's just mastering the nuances of Mike Michael Flo's offense.

174
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: Combine that with you know, being a run first offense

175
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: and really getting his run game going. If he can

176
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: do that with the weapons that that that Joe Douglas

177
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: and company has surrounded him with, he can be he

178
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: can be primed to really take a huge step forward

179
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: this year. What weapon is gonna make the most impact

180
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: do you think? And I just talked about Hall, but

181
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: obviously the Jets selected Garrett Wilson number ten overall. And

182
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: then you've been very vocal about what you like at

183
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: the tight end position because this is a dramatic overhaul there.

184
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about the tight end position. You know,

185
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: it's been like a it's been like a like a

186
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: waste land for like a decade. To be honest with you,

187
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: at the tight end position, we know and we know

188
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: and this this system, this is michaelaforce system. The tight

189
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: ended position. It's very it's very important, it's unique it's

190
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: a it's a you know, it's a system that's very

191
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: friendly the tight end. So the Jets bringing it over

192
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: you know, c j Uzama and and uh and Tyler

193
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: Conkling over and then and then drafting the you know,

194
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: the Rouget kid out of Ohio State. Now you have

195
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: a totally different dynamic at the tight end position because

196
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: now only all these guys you know, very good at

197
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: being a good run blockers, but just adding a dimension

198
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: in the passing game um for a young quarterback. And

199
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: that's just so paramount, you know, for the development of

200
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: young quarterback is having reliable um pieces at the tight

201
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: end position. Do you think, I don't want to say

202
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: blasting and disguise vise, Tyree Hill is a great player,

203
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: but now looking back at it, the Jets obviously made

204
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: a play for him. Do you think this could work

205
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: out in the end as far as a favorable situation

206
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: when you're talking about costs certainty with young players, Yeah,

207
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: I do. I do. And and that's not taking anything

208
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: away from Tyree Gill. He's he's one of the special plays,

209
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: special players that we have in this league because he

210
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: has something you just can't teach with the is an

211
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: abundant of speed. But when you know with that type

212
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: of talent, there's a cost attached to it, and and

213
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: we know that with that that calls that contract. Some

214
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: of the other moves that the Jets, you know, we're

215
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: able to make this off season, probably wouldn't have been

216
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: made had they had traded for Tyree Hille. So listen again,

217
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm not taking anything away from Tyreek Hill because he's

218
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: a very special player, but you look at all the

219
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: moves in his totality. As far as the Jets concerned,

220
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: you're talking about a very well rounded offensive, you know,

221
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: offensive roster that has the ability to really be explosive.

222
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: When's the last time the Jets had the potential to

223
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: be this explosive at the wide receiver position. We saw

224
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: Elijah Morraw last year. He really got cooking before he

225
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: had it to enter the reserve. Joe Douglas reminded us

226
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: all that Corey Davis was on pace for a thousand

227
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: yards season and he's a big bodied receiver. Garrett Wilson

228
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: added to the equation his production Ohio State off the charts,

229
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: Braxton burials back in the fold and the Jets, by

230
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: all accounts, he would are really happy as far as

231
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: what Denzel Men's looks like right now. Yeah, Eric, you know,

232
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,599
Speaker 1: you know our friend Richard Men. He actually passed the

233
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: stat on to me, which was just mom boggling. The

234
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: jets between Elijah More, Corey Davis, and Um and Jamison

235
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: Crowder last year they only played sixty snaps together, which

236
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: is basically equivalent of one game. Think about that for

237
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback. And Zach Wilson, he basically played an

238
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: equivalent of one game with all his top targets on

239
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: the field. That's crazy. And so you think this year

240
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: with the plant the plan that that you know, Robert

241
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: Salo is going to implement, trying to make sure his

242
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: guys get you know, get to week week one healthy,

243
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 1: being able to have you know, Elijah More, Corey Davis,

244
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: Braxton Barrios, you know, Garrett Wilson, all of these guys

245
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: healthy and available. That is gonna do wonders for Zack

246
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: Wilson in this offense when is not live in New Jersey.

Speaker 1: a gambling problem, call one seven zero seven one one seven.

260
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: What do you like most about what you're seeing on paper?

261
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: From the defense as far as the numbers concerned the

262
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: defensive line, you mentioned it before, clean bill of health.

263
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: That's huge for the Jets moving forward. If Carl Lawson

264
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: is gonna line up Week one against the Baltimore Ravens

265
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: is gonna be a big piece. They trade up for

266
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: Jermaine Johnson. Michael Clements added to the mix. They also

267
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: resigned Vinny Curry. H Jacob Martin comes over from Houston.

268
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: So you got a lot of numbers up front, or

269
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: do you look back at the reshuffled secondary what stands

270
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: out to you most about defensively, what the Jets have

271
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: done here this offseason, everything, Eric, everything, because when you'll

272
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: talk about defense and coach Solo would talk about this

273
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: rush and cover go hand in hand, right, So the

274
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: Jets actually addressed both of those. They are super deep

275
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: at the defensive line position. Obviously, the headliner is getting

276
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: called Lowson back who was primed to have outstanding year

277
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: last year, and then you know, unfortunately had the Achilles injury,

278
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: but him and him coming back in and hopefully being healthy,

279
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: plugging him next to Quentin Williams. You know, I've always

280
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: said this, man, when you're surrounded by good players, guess what,

281
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: It elevates your play. So I think Quintin Williams is

282
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: gonna have a breakout, you know, a breakout year this year.

283
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: And then obviously John you know John Franklin Myers on

284
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: the other side, and Jermaine Johnson and you know Sheldon Rank.

285
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: Because this is a very very deep room. I don't

286
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: even know if all these guys will be able to

287
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: make the roster. It's that it's that much competition the

288
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: d line room. And then when you look in the

289
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: back end the second particularly in the secondary. The thing

290
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: I love about last year when they played all those guys,

291
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: those young guys you know, the Bryce you know, Bryce

292
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: Hall and and the Brandon Echos and and all those

293
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, young defensive backs that now it has created

294
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: depth because you draft Source Gardener with the number four pick,

295
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: You bring in DJ Read you know, through free agents

296
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: via Fregie from Seattle, Jordan Whitehead. So all those young

297
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: guys got a lot of playing time, and now you're

298
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: talking about a uh, you know, a depth chart that

299
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: looks totally different than it than it did in one.

300
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: So I'm really excited about this defense. I think, uh,

301
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: this is an opportunity for those guys give me snaps

302
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: and O t s and mini camp and ultimately training

303
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: camp to continue to bond and mech together. And I

304
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: think we're gonna look at that much improved defense as well. Man.

305
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: I am so happy you mentioned John Franklin Myers because

306
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: we cannot forget his part to this equation. He got

307
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: that resigning, got the new deal early last year. But

308
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: his flexibility and his versatility really can come to light

309
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: this year. Right when you have that kind of numbers

310
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: the defensive end, he can play outside, but then he

311
00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: can shift inside and he's a big mismatch against those

312
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: cards in the National Football League. Yeah, I think, you know,

313
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: I think that's where he can really wreck having right,

314
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, you put in the work on first and

315
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: second down, and and and then on third down, the

316
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: money down. Now he kicks inside and that's where the

317
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: real advantage comes and you get and obviously you're getting

318
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: your best rushes on the field. You're talking about it

319
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: potentially a you know, Carl Loss and Quinn Williams, John

320
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: Franklin Myers, and then you know a combination of all

321
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: the other guys, whether there's Jamaine Johnson, you know, Michael Clemens,

322
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, all the Jacob Martin, all these other guys.

323
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: And now you've got guys just humming off there, you know,

324
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: humming getting after the quarterback. So this just defensive line

325
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: has a lot of variety. You can mix and match

326
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: a lot of different ways, and most importantly, you can

327
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: keep guys fresh because they have so much depth in

328
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: the defensive line. Uh cjm moss c J. Mosley was

329
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: the team MVP last season. If anybody had any doubts

330
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: on what he still got left in the tank, all

331
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: those questions were answered and then something he's still wanted

332
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: the finer inside linebackers in the NFL. Let me ask

333
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: you about Quincy Williams, ol, what is his ceiling? I

334
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: think he can be I think he can be special.

335
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: This is a guy last year who has unbelievable athletic ability.

336
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: We saw it last year, the speed, the the the

337
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, the impact on you know, the the violence

338
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: that he brought as far as his tackling. But he,

339
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, this is a guy that came you know,

340
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: came to the Jets, you know, the latter part of summer,

341
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: early part of the season, so he was still trying

342
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: to figure the system out. He was running more on

343
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: just athletic ability than actual the instincts of the linebacker position.

344
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: So now giving him the whole all season to kind

345
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: of understand the nuance of playing linebacker in the system

346
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: and learning from a guy like C. J. Mosley, now

347
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna have a smarter linebacker, a guy

348
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: who who is able to use his physical traits and

349
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: physical true tools to the best of his ability. That

350
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: would make him an even better linebacker. So I'm expecting

351
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: huge things from Quincy Williams. How much have you enjoyed

352
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: watching Slid and Joe Dougus go to work. Since Solid

353
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: came on board in January two thousand one, it's really

354
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: been refreshing because, you know, I talk about the one

355
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: thing that I love is a synergy between the two

356
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: that seems like there's a synergy between the front office

357
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: and the coach of staff. And you hear all the time,

358
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: you know, Joe Douglass talks about what Coach Solid you

359
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: know it's brought to the table as far as culture,

360
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: and you hear, you know, Coach Solid talk about how

361
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas involves him and a lot of you know,

362
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: kind of like the player profile, player descriptions as far

363
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: as the type of players that they want to bring

364
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: in this into this program. So there's a tremendous synergy

365
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: between the two and what usually happens is that permeates

366
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: to everything else within the Jets organization. So I think

367
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: this is the first time in quite some time where

368
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: you're seeing everyone kind of um, you know, linked together

369
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: and thinking of thinking the same way within the organization.

370
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: Did you take anything from this schedule? I know you

371
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: want through the game by game on spoun and said eight,

372
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 1: eight and nine, And you think they can get on

373
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: a second half run. But particularly I wanted to ask

374
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: you about the a f C North run with those

375
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: first four games and then the a f C East spread.

376
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: The would you have three home games before the bye

377
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: against your division rivals, three road games after the bye

378
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: against a FC Eastern teams. Yeah, you know that. I

379
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: would say the schedule makers didn't do the Jets any favorites.

380
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: But listen, if you aspire to be one though, you know,

381
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: to take that that giant leap. That's what it is.

382
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: The schedule is what it is. But you know, the

383
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: one thing I would talk about as far as the schedule,

384
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: it's conturn. As a formal player, you know, all we

385
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: usually concern ourselves with is number one. Who we played

386
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: Week one? Okay? And when when it's a buy? And

387
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: I think the boy falls at the perfect time for

388
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: the Jets, But you can't when you always you know,

389
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: as players were taught to break everything down in quarters.

390
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: We know the first quarter is gonna be the whole

391
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: a f C North, the Old Garland, the NFC North,

392
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: and you just got a quarterback quarter. Try to win

393
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: the quarter. If you can put together that, that's how

394
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: you ultimately get yourself in what I call the tournament

395
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: in the postseason. Uh. And that's a great transition because

396
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: I want to go back to you and you're playing

397
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: career with the Jets. In one second, you played with

398
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: the young quarterback in Mark Sanchez. Do you see similarities

399
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: between him and Wilson or just totally different guys. I mean,

400
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: obviously it's a totally different team, totally different situation. But

401
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: I always tell people that Sanchez walked into one of

402
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: the most unique opportunities ever considering he was an early

403
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: first round pick, great offensive line, great running game, great

404
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: running game, historically good defense. Yeah, that was a unique

405
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 1: situation because you know, usually when you pick it in

406
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: the top five, you're bad franchise. But that wasn't a

407
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: case when Mark Sanchez was. When we trade up to

408
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: number five, we were a good football team and we

409
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: had a lot of veteran players, a lot of really

410
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: good pieces in place. So Mark was in the kind

411
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: of unusual situation where you know, he didn't have to

412
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: be kind of the savior. You know, we we were

413
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: you know obviously that you know, when he first came on,

414
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: it was about running the ball and it was about

415
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: playing really good defense. And letting and letting. Mark Sanchez

416
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,959
Speaker 1: kinda you know, learn learn on the fly. And I

417
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: think you know the difference with him and Zach is

418
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: Zach is in a situation where the whole team is young, right,

419
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: the whole team is young. So you got a you know,

420
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: a young head coach. You know who's in the second year.

421
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: You know, young played caller on both sides of the

422
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: ball um. A lot of the critical foundational pieces are young.

423
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: So this whole operation is growing together. And what you

424
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: want is you want these guys to hopefully these guys

425
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: mature together, mature to really good pace, and that's how

426
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: you have something special brewing for years to come. If

427
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: if that happens. Okay, so, oh, Damian Wood. He signs

428
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: a free agency deal with the New York Jets. What

429
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: attracted you to the Jets? And can you talk about

430
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: your start because there are some interesting names on that staff,

431
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: including current Giants head coach Brian Dayball. Yeah. Yeah, it

432
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: was um, you know, when I was a free agent,

433
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 1: you know, I was really eyeing the Jets because obviously

434
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: my relationship with Eric Mangini, who which dated back to

435
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: my New England days. He was a coach on the staff,

436
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: and we was always really you know, really good, uh,

437
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: really friendly and good good friends. And and I was

438
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: you know during that time, I wanted I was craving

439
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: for that that flavor again, that structure that that program,

440
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,719
Speaker 1: and uh, Eric Mangini brought you know, he brought that

441
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: to the New York Jets. And obviously you know Brian

442
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: Bables on that staff as well, So there was a

443
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: lot of familiarity and and I love the pieces that

444
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: the Jets had already had on the on the on

445
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 1: the ross, a lot of really good young pieces. They

446
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: just needed to augment it with a lot of uh,

447
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: with some veteran layers. Obviously myself, Alfannica came on that year,

448
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: Tony Richardson, Calvin Pace. There were a lot of guys

449
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: that the Jets brought in and then um ultimately that

450
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: you know, over the over the next couple of years

451
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: that led to back to back a f C Championship runs. Um,

452
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, during that time, during that time period, what

453
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: would have made for a different ending. In two thousand

454
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: and eighteen, you guys were eight and three, you went

455
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: to Tennessee. He was unbeaten, the uppounded that Manto thirteen

456
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: Russian for nearly two hundred yards on the ground. What

457
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: would have made for a different ending. I know it

458
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 1: all turned out good because you made a transition and

459
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: made it look seamless, but I just wanted to ask

460
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: you about the end of that oh eight campaign. Yeah, yeah, Unfortunately,

461
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: you know, Brett got hurt. I think he had the

462
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: the l It was an elbow shower, one of those

463
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 1: injuries that that really derailed us because we were high.

464
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: I feel like we were the best team to lead,

465
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, um, we would absolutely have

466
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: the The week prior we went up to New England

467
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: beating New England and then we came back against an

468
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: undefeated Tennessee Titans team on the road and just really

469
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: smacked them around. So we felt like we were in

470
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: a great position. Unfortunately, breath fall sustain the injury and

471
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: kind of you know tail spend that you know tells

472
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: after that. But that was a really good team, which

473
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: you know, actually it set us up pretty well, you know,

474
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: because we go out, we get Rex, and Rex comes

475
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: in and he brings his own culture in with the

476
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: veteran presidents that we had, We draft Mark san Jenz

477
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: and we went on a nice little, nice little run

478
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: those skills, you know, for myself those next couple of years.

494
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: you guys lose And I remember this vividly to Atlanta

495
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: at the Meadowlands in week fifteen and Rex comes out,

496
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: talks to the media says, well, that's it, that's it,

497
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: We're done. We're not gonna be in the playoffs anymore,

498
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: and then of course you go to Indianapolis, they sit

499
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: there starters, you win that game, then the winning they're

500
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: in against the Sinstanti Bengals and you trash them, and

501
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: then you get on that running the playoffs, beating the Bengals,

502
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: going to San Diego and taking care of business against

503
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Before that season as an Indianapolis what stands

504
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: out above all when you're talking about oh nine, Yeah,

505
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: there was a lot of roller coasters. Obviously with the

506
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: young quarterback who was still finding way I think against

507
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 1: the man like to the n Falcons. That was that

508
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 1: was a tough, tough loss in that game against the

509
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. But you know, the one game that that

510
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: that it just really stood out to me was and

511
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: in the divisional round, we played the then San Diego Charges,

512
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: and I believe that that team was really good. I

513
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 1: think they were like fourteen and two. They were they

514
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: were like the maybe the best baby, I think, the

515
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: best team in the league. And we went out there.

516
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: Nobody gave us a chance to win that game against them,

517
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: and we went out there and just played our brand

518
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: of football. We smacked them around, ran ran the ball

519
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: all day on their throw defense, play, played lights out,

520
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: and uh, you know the one play that stood out

521
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: obviously was Seawan Green when he just busted line and

522
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: ran that. You know, it was like a like a

523
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: fifty some of y'all touchdown run and uh you know

524
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: that kind of you know, that kind of sealed the deal,

525
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, in that game. So that

526
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: game was was really special and really stood out for me.

527
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: I special. It wasn't fourth and the foot a minute

528
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 1: nine loft you're holding on to that fourteen lead and

529
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: Rex says stay on the field and you guys get

530
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: two yards with t J. Well, that's that's that's typical Rex, right.

531
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: Rex was like, you know, the one thing, one beautiful

532
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: thing about Rex was he really consulted and believed in

533
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,239
Speaker 1: the players. And his whole thing is, Okay, if we're

534
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: gonna ride with you, you gotta make it work. And

535
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: so we're on the sideline and Rex like, what what

536
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: do y'all want to do? And without get you know,

537
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: sending it, you know, explicatives, we were like, man, let's

538
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: we're going forward. We we didn't come this far too,

539
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: you know to not go forward, and uh we just

540
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: lined up and and ran our usual short yards play

541
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: and we got more than enough to convert the first

542
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: down and ultimately ice the game. So it was just

543
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: one of many special moments during that time. And we

544
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: had a really we had an elite officer line, elead backs,

545
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: and uh, it was really fun playing that Brandon ball.

546
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 1: Do you think we're ever gonna see a team like

547
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: that again? Who played that way? Oh? Man, you know,

548
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 1: sometimes I think things happen in cycles, but man, it's

549
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: just hard to envision things going back that way because

550
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: of the rules and how it is, how easy it

551
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: is to you know, the league wants you to be

552
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: a passing lead because passing you get a chance to

553
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: score a lot of points. So I don't know if

554
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna ever go back to the ground and pound

555
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: and teams that uh, you know, predominantly run the football

556
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: like that, but man, it was it was fun from

557
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: from my office alignment perspective, but I enjoyed watching these

558
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks going out there and throve on the football field. Yeah, okay,

559
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: so ten, what is your perspective there as far as

560
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: that run, because dude, you were such a big part

561
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: of that team and you go down with the Achilles

562
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, So can you take me through your mind

563
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: during that time? Yeah, man, I you know, I was

564
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,959
Speaker 1: really excited about that team. I thought I thought that

565
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: team was a super Bowl team as well. And uh

566
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: that wild Card game, boy, it was. It was a

567
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: great game going up going up against Peyton Manning again

568
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: in uh in the and uh I think it was

569
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: I forget the building that was in but man, that

570
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: place was rocking, and and to be able to have

571
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: that chance to to get a win against great Peyton

572
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: Manning and ultimately, you know, for me, unfortunately I end

573
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: up tearing my chillies on the last drive of the

574
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: game and a two minute drill, but ultimately we got

575
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: the team winning. It was a big win and we

576
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: knew that it was. It meant so much to everybody,

577
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: you know, whether you're talking about Jason Taylor who was

578
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: part of the who was on their roster that time,

579
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: you know, Ladinian Thomason, and then obviously Rex Ryan, who

580
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: was you know, Peyton Manning always been a thorn in

581
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: his side and be able to get that win against

582
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning was what was something special for a lot

583
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: of people. I think that would have remember is one

584
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: of the most magical runs in NFL history if the

585
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: Jet said completed that deal in Pittsburgh. But for you,

586
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: those two games Indianapolis and then Pittsburgh, how did you

587
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: take them in? You were so durable throughout your career.

588
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: And then obviously at Kellings during a situation where you

589
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: were such a big part of that offensive line and

590
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: Wayne Hunter comes in, uh and takes your spot. Obviously. Yeah. Yeah,

591
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: Like I said, man, injuries are part of the game.

592
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, you know, that was my twelfth year International

593
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: Football League and things like that happened. But it didn't

594
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: stop me from being the biggest cheerleader for uh, for

595
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: for my team. And then they wouldn't you know. Obviously,

596
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: the Jets went on it beat beat the New England

597
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: Pages in Foxborough. That's one of the one of the

598
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: biggest games in Jets history, going out there and get

599
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: exacted that revenge in that game up there in Foxborough.

600
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: And and ultimately, I think running out of time against

601
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers in the n f C Championship Championship

602
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: game because boyd, man, you know, just talking to the guys,

603
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: if guys say the same thing, man, we had like

604
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: another three minutes we would have won that game because

605
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: the ballmentium was clearly on our side at the end

606
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: of the game. So, you know, things happen, injuries happen. Know,

607
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: I don't regret any of that. You know, that's just

608
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: part of the game. But boy, I was I was

609
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: really fortunate, blessed to be a part of part of

610
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: the organization, in particularly part of that Uh that that

611
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: locker room. How much do you enjoy being a part

00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,080

618
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,880

619
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: that you guys got being part of Hard Knocks? It

620
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: was great, man, because we had you know, Hard Knocks

621
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: was Taylor made for that team. We had so many characters.

622
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: Obviously started with Rex Running and Wreck. Everyone knows Rex

623
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: run is a character and of it himself, but we

624
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,959
Speaker 1: had so many guys on the team. You know that

625
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: was just you know, really funny man and um. And

626
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: the one thing that Rix talked about was like, look,

627
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: guys embraced us, enjoyed like play into it, and so

628
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: that the whole crew at Hard you know, with the

629
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: NFL film, did a tremendous job of kind of blending

630
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: in behind the scenes and and just making the whole

631
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: experience fun. And the whole team really embraced it. And uh,

632
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: you know, just talking to people over the years, everyone

633
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: always mentioned that Jet team as the as at the

634
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: best Hard Knocks season that they've ever saw. So we

635
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: had a great time with it, and I think the

636
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: fans did as well. You grew up in Virginia, you

637
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,800

638
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: two championships with the Patriots, you decided to settle here

639
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: in Jersey. Can you talk about what you like about

640
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: this spot and then also your connection with Jets fans

641
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: because we were talking about it at the beginning of

642
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: this podcast at you instantly engage folks in such a

643
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: positive way. Yeah, yeah, it's um. You know, when I

644
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: when I decided to retire after the Achilles injury, you know,

645
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: my my older kids were teenagers, and I didn't want

646
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: to move them anymore. We really love New Jersey. We

00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: just my affinity for the organization. I love the people

651
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: in the organization, um, you know. And and because I

00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: had such a great experience, um playing with the organization,

Speaker 1: help further that along, I'm willing to do that. So. UM,

658
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: I love the direction that this team is headed. I

659
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: think they got the right leadership in place. I love

660
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: coach Solid what he's brought to the table. And then

661
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: some a lot of these young guys that are there,

662
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, my hope is they think that

663
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: they take this next step forward um this year and

664
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: really uh you know it really let the league know that, hey,

665
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: you know, the Jets are back. Indeed, what he says,

666
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: don't be surprised if the Jets are eight and nine

667
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: playing a meaning football games in December. What do you

668
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: think that atmosphere is gonna be like at MetLife Stadium

669
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: twenty one years after nine eleven, when the Jets do,

670
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: in fact host the Baltimore Ravens for their opener, a

671
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: game that you pick the Jets to win. Yeah, it's

672
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: gonna be special. It's gonna be special area because you

673
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 1: know obviously the day and nine eleven and what it

674
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: means to New Yorkers just to try state area in general.

675
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: I think that the energy from the fan base, from

676
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: everything that's happened with this organization this offseason and combining

677
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: that with a home opener and going up against the

678
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, a very good opponent in the Baltimore Ravens,

679
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: it has a recipe to be electric. So I expect

680
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: this crowd to be electric, to be far it up.

681
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: And uh, I'm going to be in the house and

682
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch that game set on September eleven.

683
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: We can't wait to see you there. We appreciate you
