1
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to the official Jets podcast, Ericalling here at One

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: Jets Drive joined by Ethan Greenberg. We're gonna get into

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: free agency right now. It is Thursday. The NFL leaguer

4
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: actually commenced on Wednesdays, so if you're listening to this

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: after Thursday afternoon, there could be a move or two

6
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: that Joe Douglas has made. With that being said, we

7
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: gotta get to some news, and later on in the podcast,

8
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna give you a little bit of light a

9
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: window to what's been going on here at One Jets

10
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: Drive today because we want speaking to all the new Jets,

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: including Trod Taylor, and to Rod Taylor, I got a

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: chance to sit down with him, but let's start with

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: greens Ethan Greenberg in the house. Ethan, from your perspective,

14
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: what's his day like in terms of let's take people

15
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. Oh sure, as far as the guys

16
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: actually coming in, they signed their contracts, and then what

17
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: happens From a content perspective, I think it's.

18
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 2: Kind of like hurry up and wait a little bit.

19
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 3: Because the guys that come to the facility, they have

20
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 3: an itinerary and they have to whether it speak to coaches,

21
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 3: Joe Douglas, personnel staff, take medicals, sign contracts like there's

22
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: so much that goes on that we don't see, and

23
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 3: then we just we wait and then those guys come

24
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 3: to the studio that we're recording in right now, we

25
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 3: interview them, whether it's podcast, whether it's one on one,

26
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: whatever it is, get a little FaceTime, then get up

27
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: on out of here.

28
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas has been active at all fronts since last Sunday.

29
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: He resigned two potential UFAs off the bat and Chuck

30
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 1: Clark and Greg Zerline agreed to terms of a couple

31
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: of his ourfas and Kenny Oboa and Jay Canson. He

32
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: went the UFA route for Tarrod Tayler, John Simpson and

33
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: Javon Kinlaw. He even to trade for Morgan Moses. Then

34
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: there was a reported restructuring today of linebackers CJ. Moseley.

35
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: There are also two additions to that list including Thomas

36
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: Morstead uh that happened throughout the week, and then the

37
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: big defensive tackle from Arizona as well, who you go

38
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: ahead of? Lucky FO two actually has a Jets connection

39
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: because he played collegiately at Utah and his defensive line

40
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: coach was so we're gonna have to talk to him

41
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: about uh lucky. But with all that being said, what

42
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: do you think about what's been done here from Joe

43
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: attacking every possible possible avenue and also with this restructuring

44
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: reporter restructuring CJ. Moseley and also DJ Reid's been quite

45
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: active on social media as well, so maybe there's something there.

46
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's been telling us something, but

47
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: I don't think the Jets are done.

48
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: I don't think they're done either.

49
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: I think a lot of like cap analysts, like we've

50
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: talked to Brad Spielberger from PFF in the past, and

51
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: guys like him and who really take a look at

52
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 3: the numbers when you look at restructuring. A couple guys

53
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: had mentioned, you know, do you extend someone like DJ

54
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: Reed now to try to free up more cap space

55
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 3: this year? And I think that we kind of saw

56
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 3: that with CJ. Moseley, who this was I believe the

57
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: last year of his contract and he gets a two

58
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: year deal reportedly in terms of the restructure, which frees

59
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: up some more money for the Jets this year to

60
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: probably make more moves. Whether that's free agency, the draft,

61
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: whatever the case may be. But I think that Joe

62
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 3: Douglas has I think Jets fans were a little antsy

63
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: early in the negotiating window, which happened two days before

64
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 3: free agency began. But I think when you look at

65
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 3: the whole picture of what he's done, I think you

66
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 3: have to be happy. You bring back to your point

67
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: Zerline and Moristead, who were both essentially weapons for the Jets.

68
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: Both of those players won the Jets games in twenty

69
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 3: twenty three. Chuck Clark is interesting because I think that

70
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: he was such a versatile piece in Baltimore. We just

71
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: never really got to see it last year because he

72
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: tore his ACL. Then you add some big boys up

73
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: front in terms of Morgan Moses and John Simpson and

74
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 3: Javon Kin Long Lucky Fotso like the Jets right now

75
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 3: going into the offseason, I think a lot of people

76
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 3: would say, you're looking at the positions in which he filled.

77
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: So let's go right there, perfect transition segue, as we'd

78
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: like to call into business. Jets enter the offseason with

79
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: needs it offensive line, backup, quarterback, wide receiver. Then defensively,

80
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: you'd start at defensive tackle and safety. Let's go to

81
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: offensive line first. What do you make of the moves

82
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: is Simpson and then Morgan Moses returning for his second

83
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: stint with the je Well.

84
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 3: I think Simpson's really interesting because just speaking to him

85
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 3: and doing some research, he was the first one to

86
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 3: say like he didn't quite have the confidence he has

87
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 3: now when he got cut by Las Vegas and then

88
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 3: he kind of refound himself in Baltimore and he was

89
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 3: in a left guard competition. He wins the job, then

90
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: he gets a little pay day comes here, and I

91
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: think that you can see it when you if you like.

92
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: I keep saying this, if you have highlights as an

93
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: offensive lineman, like if you're laying people out, you're.

94
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 2: Probably doing something pretty good.

95
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 3: And he's a tone setter, so I think from that perspective,

96
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: I think you have to like it, especially like.

97
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 2: It's a free agency.

98
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 3: It's hard to get I would say team friendly deals

99
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 3: with good players, but based on the reported numbers out

100
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 3: there compared to what some of his offensive line counterparts,

101
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 3: that guard received seems to be like a Jets friendly deal.

102
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: And then with Morgan Moses, but he was a Jet

103
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: and he was great, and he seems to be great

104
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: for Baltimore. Frankly, I'm not quite sure why Baltimore was

105
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: so okay with letting him go, And some people have

106
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 3: said that on Twitter, and I think if you're a

107
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: Jets fan right now, you think about where this offensive

108
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: line could hypothetically be, Like left tackles I would imagine

109
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 3: as a question mark guard. You would imagine Simpson Titman

110
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 3: right guard. Let's say Avt for all intention purposes, and

111
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 3: then Morgan Mojes. I mean, you're shaping up to have

112
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: a pretty nice starting five who get after it or

113
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: agile and our tone setters.

114
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: Well, Avt's the chess piece. He could play left tackle.

115
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: You can play all four of those spots on the line.

116
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: The only spot that you're probably not going to put

117
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: him at would be center. You're trying to find permanent home.

118
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering if the permanent home is right card

119
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 1: and if there is a move on the horizon again

120
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: Thursday afternoon, I guess it's a little bit after noon

121
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: right now. It's the in the twelve o'clock range, either

122
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: in free agency or the draft. Also, you got some

123
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: depth pieces there, Carter Warren, Max Mitchell, Wes Schweizer, of

124
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: course Schweitzer.

125
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a tough twist.

126
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

127
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: Also, just I can't imagine what it's like for some

128
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 3: of the like the Adam Schefters of the World, Ian Rapaport,

129
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 3: Mike Carfulo, Tom pelisera like the Insider guys. Like every

130
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: time my phone buzzes because I have their tweet notifications on, like,

131
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 3: I get like a little jittery and I feel like

132
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 3: I need to check it in case something happens. I

133
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 3: can't even imagine what those guys are like right now.

134
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: I think there's a mindset change going on here for

135
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: the Jets as far as what they want to do

136
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: up front along the offensive line you talk to Simpson,

137
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: I just feel like they want to get a little

138
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: bit grimier, nasty, ear set the edge. And there's the

139
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: guys in the past who've done some good things for

140
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: the Jets, no doubt about it. But I mean, when

141
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: you're talking about Simpson and Morgan Moses, thocial guys are

142
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: gonna get after you. And also, I think that what

143
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: we've seen in the past from Aaron Rodgers is that yes,

144
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: he can do anything, but he's especially effective with the

145
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: play action game and the Jets have one of the

146
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: best running backs in the National Football League in Brisall.

147
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do.

148
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 3: And I think that if you're Brice Hall, you got

149
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 3: to be really happy about this. Obviously, fans are going

150
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 3: to say, oh, this is great for Aaron, also great

151
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 3: for Breze Hall. I mean, you take a look at

152
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 3: Pro Football Focus, John Simpson had nine big time blocks.

153
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: I'm not quite sure what that means, but big time blocks.

154
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: You'd imagine that that's a good thing. And you have

155
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 3: he has highlights of laying dudes out and that ranked

156
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 3: second among guards.

157
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: And then Morgan.

158
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 3: Moses, I believe, had like the third best run block

159
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 3: raide on Pro Football Focus this past year among tackles.

160
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 3: So I think, basically to your point that Jets are

161
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 3: getting a little grime heer if they really start to

162
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 3: attack the running game with Priese Hall. I mean, he

163
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: gives Breesze Hall a sliver of daylight and he's getting

164
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 3: a decent chunk of change. You give him a hole,

165
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: we see what happens there. Like to me, I'm thinking

166
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 3: about that Denver run from this past season. He had

167
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 3: a gaping hole to run through and now ended up

168
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 3: in a touchdown. And we've talked about it so much,

169
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 3: like he is so strong that if he really gets

170
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 3: a full head of steam or a couple of yards

171
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 3: of steam, it's going to be really difficult for defenses

172
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 3: to bring him down.

173
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: Jets aren't done along that offensive line. Let's skill to

174
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: backup quarterback. We knew that was on their radar starting

175
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: in the off season as far as veteran quarterback was concerned.

176
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: They gave Zach Wilson and his team permission to seek

177
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: a trade to Rod Taylor, most recently with the New

178
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: York Giants last couple seasons. The Jets make a move

179
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: there to get a very capable backup quarterback.

180
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that if you're a Jets fan, you're

181
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 3: obviously very familiar with Taylor, because the Jets played in

182
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 3: this past year a little bit with the Giants. They

183
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 3: played him in against the Browns the Texans. Like, I

184
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 3: think that if you're a Jets fan, what you want, Well,

185
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 3: first of all, you don't really want to see your

186
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 3: backup quarterback on the field because you want Aaron Rodgers

187
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 3: to be healthy. But if for whatever reason Taylor needed

188
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 3: to come in, I think you'd feel confident that he

189
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 3: could not only play well, but win the football game

190
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 3: the way that this team is structured, where the defense

191
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 3: is so good, you add some pieces up front, like

192
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 3: we're talking about.

193
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: I don't think the Jets are done either, whether that's.

194
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: The I was like the ticketing team is not on either,

195
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of noise here and a bell

196
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: just wrung.

197
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: So I will say, like, let's take him behind the scenes,

198
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 3: like there's a probably less than five feet outside of

199
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 3: the studio to both of our rights, there's just bell,

200
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 3: and if you make a deal, you ring the bell,

201
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 3: and the bell's ringing right now.

202
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: Maybe they're excited about tyright.

203
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 4: About.

204
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: Yes, the New York Jets in twenty twenty four so

205
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: very capable backup quarterback. I can't believe he's entering year

206
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: fourteen already. With that being said, he's a guy who's

207
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: still t mobile and one of the most accurate long

208
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: ball throwers that I've seen in the league for a

209
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: long time. So listen, you're in capable hands. If Rogers

210
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: can't play. Now, if Rogers can't play, you're hoping for

211
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: is it just a couple of games? I don't even

212
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: want to think beyond of course, all right, so you

213
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: have a really seasoned quarterback room and maybe you add

214
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: a young guy to the mix. And Day three of

215
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: the draft, the Jets have three compensitory selections. We'll get

216
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 1: to that later. So let's flip into the defensive side

217
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: of the ball. A lot of movement defensive tackle, starting

218
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: with Kim Law. The connection there with Robert sala former

219
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: first round pick of the San Francisco forty nine ers

220
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty, so Salon knows exactly what he's

221
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: getting his hands on. And then you don't just stop there.

222
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: Fotwo comes in, big body, it's like six four, six five,

223
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: three thirty five, So you're thinking about that guy can

224
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: come in and be a run plugger and occupy space

225
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: and a younger version.

226
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 3: So I think with kin Lawn FO two, these are

227
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 3: like these are athletes. I mean you talk about Photo specifically,

228
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 3: he grew up playing rugby and the Athletic put out

229
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 3: this article on him that sheds a little bit of

230
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 3: light about to his upbringing and.

231
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: The hardship that he had to deal with.

232
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: I would suggest that if you wanted like a glimpse

233
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 3: or peak behind the curtain in terms of who Fotwo is,

234
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 3: but on the field, like this is an athletic defensive

235
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 3: tackle like al Woods. I think this is essentially the

236
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 3: al Woods type replacement, like the run stuffer FO two

237
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: is more athletic than al Woods is, especially at this

238
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 3: point in both of their respective careers. Woods coming off

239
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 3: a big injury and achilles injury at the twilight of

240
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 3: his career, where Folks who's coming off his rookie contract

241
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 3: with the Cardinals. So I think the upside is there,

242
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 3: And I think if you're a Jets fan, you have

243
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 3: to kind of believe in Jeff Ulbrick and this defensive

244
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 3: coaching staff that they're going to get the best out

245
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 3: of these guys. Solomon Thomas to your point, or someone

246
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 3: you mentioned, he had a career year in sacks in

247
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 3: this defense last year. Same thing with Quinton Jefferson, who

248
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 3: reportedly agreed to terms with the Browns. So I think

249
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 3: if you're a fan like Javon Kinlaw number fourteen overall pick,

250
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 3: he might be thinking, well, you know, he didn't maybe

251
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 3: play out the way that a lot of forty nine

252
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 3: ers fans were hoping this guy. I mean, I don't

253
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 3: know if you saw him today, he was in the

254
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 3: cafeteria downstairs, He is so long and so broad, and

255
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 3: you would imagine that Aaron whitecomm the defensive line coach,

256
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 3: it's gonna have a field day with this guy because

257
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 3: he's he has the measurables that the Jets want in

258
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 3: their defensive lineman. Now it's just about teaching them how

259
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 3: the Jets want to do it and unleash these guys.

260
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: Any defensive tackle was gonna be happy playing next to

261
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: a superstar in Quinn Williams, and the Jets have that

262
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: luxury here. Let's go back to the safety position. Chuck

263
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: Clark unfortunately wasn't able to play last year. We know

264
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: he's been here rehabbing consistently. People have talked about what

265
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: a good duty is, what kind of presence he brings

266
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: to the locker room. So Tony Adams returns that free safety.

267
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: He was under contract a lot of uncertainty elsewhere as

268
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: he started the offseason. But you don't even let Clark

269
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: get the free agency. You re sign him and you're

270
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: set up there.

271
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 3: I think with Clark, like how many guys I'm serious,

272
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 3: like this is I'm curious in your wealth of knowledge

273
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 3: in terms of being in the league for a long time,

274
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: Like how many guys are as versatile as Chuck Clark

275
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 3: because for those who.

276
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: Don't know Ravens flying here to the Jets, by the way.

277
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 3: Yeah there are, Yeah, there are a lot of former

278
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 3: Ravens flying up by ninety five here. But with Clark, like,

279
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 3: he's taking snaps at every single defensive position throughout his career,

280
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 3: including like interior defensive line. So I'm not asking you, like,

281
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 3: who are players that have done that in the past,

282
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 3: but players who are talented and so versatile, Like I'm

283
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 3: trying to think of guys over the last couple of years,

284
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 3: and it's hard for me to name.

285
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 4: No.

286
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: They asked him to do pretty much everything, and he

287
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: was central command for the Ravens and he's a guy

288
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: who kept Kyle Hamilton off the field, which is crazy.

289
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: If you really think about it. That speaks to the

290
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: transition to the National Football League, and that's why you

291
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: should be excited about it. A guy like kN Law

292
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: not comparing these guys as far as positions are concerned,

293
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: but sometimes it takes players longer to transition to the NFL.

294
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: There's familiarity here and Kim Law's coming off a career

295
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: here with the forty nine years Hever Knights with the

296
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: reunites with a guy like Sala, who Sala has said

297
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: in the past, a lot of guys come here and

298
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: they end up having career years. Quinton Jefferson a great example,

299
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: six and a half sacks last year he signs with

300
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. Jets get younger, much younger at the defensive

301
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: tackle position. Is this defense will continue to be nasty

302
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: and salty in twenty twenty four?

303
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 4: Oh?

304
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: Say so, I will say this before we get to

305
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: to Rod. Can you speak to what's out there? What's

306
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: got your what's got your eye? What should we pay

307
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: attention to? Because one of the needs that I talked

308
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: about to start the offseason, the one position that Jets

309
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: haven't addressed just yet has been receiver. We know they

310
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: could have had another running back down the line. You

311
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: got Breist, of of course you're Bob Kyle, but Israel

312
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: Obana Kana very promising, a guy entering his second season.

313
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: But what else do you think potentially could be out

314
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: there here and free agency that we should continue to monitor.

315
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 3: Well, So, just going on receiver alone, I think it

316
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 3: was pretty quiet from the beginning, Like in the very

317
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 3: early stages of the negotiating window, guys like Gabe Davis

318
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 3: went and the most recent one was Calvin Ridley, who

319
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 3: got a lot of money from the Tennessee Titans. Yes, Now,

320
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 3: in terms of wide receiver, I mean we've talked about this.

321
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe this year's class isn't in terms of free

322
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 3: agent class isn't as active as a lot of people

323
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 3: thought because of the depth in the draft class, No doubt.

324
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: So if the Jets were to add people in free

325
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 3: agency at wide receiver, the guys who still remain as

326
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: of now twelve oh six, just making sure that who's available,

327
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 3: Guys like Marquise Hollywood Brown, Tyler boyd Odell Beckham Junior,

328
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 3: who it seemed like was definitely in the mix to

329
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 3: becoming a Jet last season. And then there's other guys

330
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 3: like if you go, I mean there's Michael Thomas, who's

331
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 3: obviously dealing with injuries as of late. I just think

332
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 3: that if the Jets want to add a receiver, they can.

333
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 3: I just keep coming back to that this receiving room

334
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 3: is going to be in a better spot with Aaron

335
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 3: Rodgers under center, regardless.

336
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 2: And I do think that.

337
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 3: We've spoke about this too, like Alan Lazard I think

338
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 3: will be a much better player in twenty twenty four

339
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 3: than he was last season for the Jets.

340
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: And Gibson and brownly give you a depth as well.

341
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: So okay, let's go to tackle. Tyrone Smith's out there,

342
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: Trent Brown is out there, David Bactieri's out there. What

343
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: do you think. Are you surprised it's Smith being out there?

344
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: And again he again he would fill the void and

345
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: left tackle. And obviously those three UFA's that the Jets

346
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: had in the house, they're also out there, in fact

347
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: in Brown, Billy Turner, and then a couple we haven't

348
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: talked about a number of UFAs, including Jordan Whitehead the

349
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: safety position going back to Tampa, but Ashton Davis remains

350
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: out there as well, justin Hardy another guy. But let's

351
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: focus on tackle.

352
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I don't know what the hold up

353
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 3: is with Tyron Smith. I think it's kind of interesting.

354
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 3: Obviously I'm not privy to those conversations, but you would

355
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 3: imagine a guy who's still playing at an elite level,

356
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 3: even though there are durability questions, would sign rather quickly.

357
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 3: And we're standing here, you know, this is now almost

358
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 3: twenty four hours after officially, the new league year begins,

359
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 3: which means that teams have had at least won three

360
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 3: days to talk to Tyron Smith's representatives and try to

361
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 3: work something out. Am I surprised that there's been a

362
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 3: little no, little to no movement there a little bit.

363
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 2: I'm wonder what that means.

364
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 3: However, I will say I think Joe Douglas will end

365
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 3: up signing a tackle period, because I think when you

366
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 3: go into the draft.

367
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: You know, we know that we're going to try offensive line.

368
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: But they got a starting guard and you got a

369
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: starting right tackle.

370
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like you don't want to be pigeonholed no draft.

371
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 3: So if the Jets do sign someone one of the

372
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 3: guys that you just mentioned, Tyron Smith, Bactiari, Trent Brown,

373
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 3: even a guy like Donovan Smith Okay, who I'm pretty

374
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 3: sure is on record said something like it'd be cool

375
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 3: to block for Aaron Rodgers. This is when he was

376
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 3: with the Chiefs, like knowing that he was going to

377
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: become a free agent. I think that that there are

378
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 3: just a lot of options there, and so if the

379
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 3: Jets do sign one of those guys, then you go

380
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 3: in the draft and you can be in a spot

381
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 3: at ten overall, where you don't know how one through

382
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 3: nine is going to play out.

383
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 2: So if you want to add a receiver, you go

384
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 2: for it. If they're available. You want to add a tackle,

385
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 2: go for it.

386
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: Well, if you sign a tackle, starting caliber caliber tackle

387
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: over the next couple of days, maybe over the next

388
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: few hours. I wonder if the play is to get

389
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: another playmaker at the top of his draft, you can't

390
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: go wrong in another offensive linement. Moses is interesting, Like

391
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: people are wondering why did Baltimore part ways? I look

392
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: at that is probably more of a cost cutting future

393
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: move because he signed through twenty twenty four. They knew

394
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: maybe at the end of the day, is he gonna

395
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: be on this roster in twenty twenty five. So Joe

396
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: Douglas makes a move that's very smart, you know, and

397
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: you get a guy who's gonna be starting at the

398
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: right tackle spot. But as far as what he's done

399
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: here early on in free agency, every possible avenue RFAs

400
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: UFA's street. We didn't mention Isaiah Oliver. Guy's gonna come

401
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: in and provide some depth in the secondary and can

402
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: play multiple positions as well. The Jets have the best

403
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: cornerback group in football who add to the mix, and

404
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: it's just as a depth piece trade, you know. So

405
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: he's done everything the UFAs, but they're not done it,

406
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: and they also have flexibility and whatever move that they

407
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: make moving forward, you know, it sets it up for

408
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: an interesting spot. Remember he told us in Indianapolis not

409
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: too long ago that bottom line is, I like where

410
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: we're at now, we're kind of seeing the picture unfold

411
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: before us.

412
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

413
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 3: I think that obviously free agency crystallizes the draft. The

414
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 3: one team that's actually on the Jets schedule for twenty

415
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 3: twenty four that I think based on their free agent

416
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 3: moves kind of paints their picture a little clear in

417
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 3: the draft is Tennessee. You think about they have DeAndre Hopkins,

418
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 3: they just added Calvin Ridley, they already have trailing I

419
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 3: don't know what, so I don't know what their defense

420
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 3: is looking like. But to me, my uneducated opinion is

421
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 3: that they would likely go tackle or defense and they're

422
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 3: sitting there at seven. Last year under the same regime,

423
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: they drafted Peter Skoronski in the first round and he's

424
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 3: playing guard for them. Could they want to add someone

425
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,239
Speaker 3: to protect Will Levis or you know, depending on like,

426
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 3: if there's a quarterback available, would they be open to

427
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 3: trading back if someone wants to trade up. That's the

428
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 3: team that I kind of have circled right here based

429
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 3: on their free agency moves at impact the Jets come

430
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 3: draft time.

431
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 1: But even if they did, fashion new might be on

432
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: the table, and one of those top three receivers might

433
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: be on the table.

434
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 3: Exactly, which is why it all comes full circle to me,

435
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 3: because if the Jets do sign one of these tackles

436
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 3: we've talked about, you're in a good spot where you where.

437
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 3: Let's say, for the sake of this conversation, if the

438
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 3: Jets didn't sign one of those tackles, then all of

439
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 3: a sudden, you're worried Tennessee's drafting a guy, and then

440
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 3: maybe you have to figure it out what your solution

441
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 3: is at tackle.

442
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: Afterwards, I thought, on and you're going to get a

443
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: starting tackle and you're gonna starting guard, and free agency

444
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: you've already done that, so maybe one more is in

445
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: play and this line looks completely different again. But one

446
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: guy is gonna be lining up behind the offensive line

447
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: in the spring and throughout the preseason. Tara Taller hopefully

448
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: he's not taking too many regular season snaps, but we

449
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to talk to him. For myself and Ethan,

450
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: We're going to keep you updated. Remember our apologies in

451
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: advance because this was TAP twelve thirty Thursday, our free

452
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: agency reset. At this point, Joe Douglas has been a

453
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: busy man, and I can tell you right now the

454
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: hall's buzzing down there right now. Hey, So how does

455
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 1: it feel to Rod to embark on a journey with

456
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:26,959
Speaker 1: your seventh NFL team? Now?

457
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 5: It's a blessing. Each team or each city has been

458
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 5: unique in his own I've learned a lot and I've

459
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 5: grown as a person as a player, and thankful for

460
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 5: this opportunity I have here.

461
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: What did you think when the season ended with the Giants?

462
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: What was ahead for you?

463
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 5: Truly, I honestly didn't know. Finished off on a good foot,

464
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 5: but yeah, you never know. The league changes day to day,

465
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 5: week to week, so you really have to be at

466
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 5: peace about what you put on the field. And for me,

467
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 5: I'm a believer, uh so I think that God, God's

468
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 5: timing is everything, so he'll find the right the right

469
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 5: steps in the right uh direction for you, and I

470
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 5: just trust trust them.

471
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: You've been through this before, no stranger of the process.

472
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: What was it like this time around?

473
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 4: Wasn't that bad? Actually?

474
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 5: Obviously, listening to your agent, you're weighing out different different options.

475
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 5: You're trying to see what makes the best, what's what

476
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 5: makes the most sense, and ultimately thought that this was

477
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 5: a great fit. Fortunately I don't have to move places,

478
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 5: but excited about this, this journey here with the Jets.

479
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 5: Have a talented roster, a lot of players that I

480
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 5: respect from playing or just knowing alone in the years,

481
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 5: and uh excited to get to work with these this

482
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 5: group of guys.

483
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: You just touched upon it a little bit, but money talks.

484
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: We know that you got to make a living. But

485
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: what made the Jets attractive to you?

486
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 5: You look at the roster, very talented roster. I mean,

487
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 5: obviously some injuries last year that you can't control. But

488
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 5: I believe everything is in the house to be able

489
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,719
Speaker 5: to achieve what every NFL team is trying to achieve,

490
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 5: which is a Super Bowl early right now. Obviously you

491
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 5: never want to get into that. There's a lot of

492
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 5: steps they got to get to that, but I believe

493
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 5: that this team is capable of achieving that goal with

494
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 5: with the with the right work to just.

495
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 4: Put in.

496
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 5: What do you see from them? Offensively explosive, group wide receivers.

497
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 5: They compete their butts off, makes contestant catches. It knows

498
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 5: how to stretch the field and just explosive playst's.

499
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: Specifically, I wanted to ask you about guys like Garrett

500
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: Wilson Brew.

501
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm very I'm a big fan of Garrett as

502
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 5: well as Breece. Too fast guys to electric, guys get

503
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 5: the balls in their hand and it could be a

504
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 5: big play.

505
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 4: Wait to heaven.

506
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: What's the mindset for you now at this point in

507
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: your career, entering year fourteen, joining a team with the

508
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: future Hall of Famer here and Aaron Rodgers coming back

509
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: from the Achilles. You guys have a lot of combined

510
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: experience when you're talking about being in that room together.

511
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, obviously being able to assist Aaron at any capacity,

512
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 5: but also staying ready for the opportunity if it presents

513
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 5: itself well at the same time, being able to offer

514
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 5: my leadership and my knowledge that I've accumulated over the

515
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 5: years to the younger guys within the locker room. My

516
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 5: goal is to just help any capacity that I can.

517
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 1: Over the years. What kind of interactions maybe have your

518
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: head with Aaron and how much do you appreciate his game?

519
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 4: I appreciate his game. I've said this before.

520
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 5: He ranks very high on my list of quarterbacks, one

521
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 5: of my faves. I haven't had a lot of interaction

522
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 5: other than pregame conversations postgame conversation, but I have a

523
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 5: ton of respect for Aaron. A big fan of his

524
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 5: games and looking forward to being able to learn from

525
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 5: him and and working alongside him.

526
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: Why A big fan of his game Just the way he.

527
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 5: Carries himself on the field obviously one of the in

528
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 5: my opinion, one of the best passes of the football

529
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 5: that the NFL has seen. And not necessarily the prototype

530
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 5: that you see a lot of these guys that I

531
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 5: was kind of conditioned to growing up, that you had

532
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 5: to be a certain high, you have to fit a

533
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 5: certain build.

534
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 4: He's kind of broke that mode and he plays the

535
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 4: game the right way.

536
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: How do you break that mold when when you talk about.

537
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 5: A well, when I say that, I mean not from

538
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 5: when I first came into the league, I was told

539
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 5: that I was too short.

540
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 4: I'm six to one.

541
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 5: I don't know there's plenty of guys that have came

542
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 5: after me, but I think it also starts with Aaron

543
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 5: Rodgers Drew Brees not being the six four the six '

544
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 5: five stationary guy like can be as mobile as you

545
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 5: need to, but also throw from the pocket, make plays, extend,

546
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 5: extend plays as well too.

547
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 4: Just a big fan of his.

548
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: How have you been able to do it? Because you

549
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: were a six round draft pick out of attack who

550
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: had to wait his turn to actually get that first

551
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: start in the National Football League where when you look

552
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: at your resume now, most of your starts, of course

553
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: came with the Jets division rival to Buffalo Bills.

554
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, just staying committed to the process. My time in Baltimore,

555
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,959
Speaker 5: obviously I didn't get a chance to play as much

556
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 5: as I want, but I had a chance to learn

557
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 5: from a veteran group of guys. I walked into a

558
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 5: locker room with ray Lewis ed Reed. Flacco wasn't necessarily

559
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 5: a veteran at the time, but I learned a lot

560
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 5: from Flacco and Kwam Bolden, a lot of a lot

561
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,719
Speaker 5: of friends that I still have to this day. But

562
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 5: I look back on that time and it was those

563
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 5: four years prepared me for the opportunity that I had

564
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 5: in Buffalo, and from there, I just, like I said,

565
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 5: staying committed, not necessarily getting discouraged about the downs of

566
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 5: the NFL season or of a career, but just going

567
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 5: out and playing at a high level whenever you whenever

568
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 5: the opportunity presented itself.

569
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: Man, you're so level hated. But when you finally had

570
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: the opportunity to get a start, when you're out there

571
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: with the Bills, and we were just talking about it

572
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: before we started recording, what do you think about the

573
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: play call? Because here you are, you're getting your first

574
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: start in the NFL and just saying, well, actually we're

575
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: going to line you up as a decoy. And I

576
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: first played at receiver.

577
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wasn't a big fan of that. I never

578
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 5: spoke on that, but also it's part of the game.

579
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 5: We try to throw a wildcat formation out there to

580
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 5: confuse the defense. Ultimately won the game, and that's really

581
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 5: what matters is winning, and that's that's really what my

582
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 5: mindset is. I mean, stats, yeah, they mattered to the outside,

583
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 5: but for me, it's about wins. And ultimately we won

584
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 5: that game against the Coats. It was a great feeling

585
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 5: and it, like you said it, it sparked my career

586
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 5: as a starter and very thankful for that time.

587
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,959
Speaker 1: What makes for a successful quarterback in the National Football

588
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: League Because you said, you're not a big numbers guy,

589
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: because you're interested in winning and losing. But with that

590
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: being said, I think one of the most impressive ratios

591
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: that you've had throughout your career is touchdown to interceptions.

592
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: And now you're joining forces with a guy like Rogers

593
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: number one in NFL history touchdown interception ratio.

594
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 5: Yes, obviously, protecting the ball gives your your team the

595
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 5: best chance to go out there and win. From a quarterback,

596
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 5: you have to be a leader. You have to be

597
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 5: able to perform on the pressure, and you have to

598
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 5: be a guy that the team coaches, everyone organization depends

599
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 5: on and can count on, and and crunch time on

600
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 5: the field. As a person, you have to be truly

601
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 5: the dependable person. And there's other factors that play into

602
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 5: quarterback play, but I think those those three speak out

603
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 5: to me.

604
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: How is your game changed over time from the guy

605
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: who came out as a hockey and starting with the

606
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: Ravens and now.

607
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 5: I think, if anything, I've just got better at the

608
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 5: things that I do. Obviously being able, I've always been mobile.

609
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 5: I've always been able to extend plays, never been afraid

610
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 5: to push the ball down the field. Uh, the game

611
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 5: has changed from when I first came into the league.

612
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 5: Not to get too deep into it, but I like this.

613
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 5: You see more of a spread offense. Now, you see

614
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,479
Speaker 5: more obviously air attacks. It was pretty balanced early on

615
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 5: in my career as far as just offensive approaches. But yeah,

616
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 5: I think I've just had a chance to grow and

617
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 5: get more comfortable with the things that I do and

618
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 5: the things that I've done, and I'm looking forward to

619
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 5: still building and shoppening those twos and just continue to

620
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 5: keep growing as a player. I think each year, obviously

621
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 5: you look back at the things that you've done good

622
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 5: and you want to build on those, but you also

623
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 5: want to attack the weaknesses of what you could have

624
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 5: done better and.

625
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 4: Quarterbacks.

626
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 5: Each year you have to find ways to get better,

627
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 5: and it starts with self reflection and looking yourself in

628
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 5: the mirror.

629
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: How hard is that to start a new because I

630
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: don't know if a lot of people could do what

631
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: you've done throughout your career in terms of going to

632
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: a new team and a new organization and picking up

633
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: and then going to another team and another organization.

634
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

635
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 5: I want to say this too, but I think it

636
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 5: really goes back to what I said about staying committed

637
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 5: as a young kid Hampton, Virginia, having goals of get

638
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 5: into this this level. You don't take anything for granted.

639
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 5: You challenge yourself to be better, and ultimately you have

640
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 5: to say so in that. I mean, you can you

641
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 5: can go about the day. You can look at just

642
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 5: being in the NFL and you could just be happy

643
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 5: with that. But I'm always challenging myself to be better

644
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 5: as a person and as a player, and that's just

645
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 5: who I am. And I take those those challenges personally

646
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 5: and I attack them daily and put the work behind it.

647
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: What do you attribute to your upbringing you just talked

648
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: about Hampton. Yeah, as far as what you learn there

649
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: and what you carry with you.

650
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm the only child, so I spent a lot

651
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 5: of time my parents, but also spent a lot of

652
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 5: time playing sports. Hey you basketball, football, baseball, ran track.

653
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 5: There's just a little bit of everything. But I also

654
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 5: was fortunate to grow up watching Alan Iverson, Michael Vick,

655
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 5: Ronald Cerry, Aaron Brooks, a lot of names from just

656
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 5: guys from my hometown or the city over for the

657
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 5: next city over, and trying to write my own story,

658
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 5: trying to give something to a young kid back in

659
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 5: Hampton Hampton Roads, something to look up to. So, yeah,

660
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 5: I had role models, but I'm also trying to create

661
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 5: that opportunity for the next generation as well too.

662
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: How influential was Mike Vick with you in terms of

663
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: maybe his guidance along the way, and he's a guy

664
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: who had to stop here later out in his career.

665
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I learned a lot from Mike. We didn't meet

666
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 5: until I got to college.

667
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 4: I grew up.

668
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 5: Knowing Ronald Cerry very closely, Alan Irverson very closely, and

669
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 5: I watched Mike, but I didn't meet him until I

670
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 5: got to school. But he's he's helped me along the

671
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 5: way as long as as well as those other guys

672
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 5: as well, Aaron Brooks, Irvers and Ronald carry Out. I

673
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 5: thank them for my success, but I also just thank

674
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 5: them for being who they are and and uh and

675
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 5: helping me throughout this journey. Someone that I could lean

676
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 5: on and someone those people I could call any day

677
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 5: and they pick up the phone and offer anything, whether

678
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 5: it's just about life or about sports, to offer any

679
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 5: of us anything they have to give to me.

680
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 1: The longer you're in the league, how small this will become.

681
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: Because you've mentioned Ronald Curry a couple of times now

682
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: he's Buffalo.

683
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 5: Even last year, UH our officeer coordinator Mike Kafka, we

684
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 5: joked about it all the time. He was drafted the

685
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 5: year before me, so he had. The longer that you

686
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 5: stay in it, it definitely gets smaller. You see a

687
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 5: lot of familiar faces, a lot of people that you've

688
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 5: crossed paths with somewhere. But that's the that's the beauty

689
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 5: of this business. That's a relationship business. Definitely at the

690
00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,959
Speaker 5: you don't have to, but I think when you treat

691
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 5: people the right.

692
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 4: Way that that.

693
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 5: That lasts and that memory goes a long way for

694
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 5: a lot of people.

695
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: Give us scatter report what you're at at this point

696
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: your career. Throughout the years, You've always been accurate that

697
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: long ball. When you've talked about the ability to extend as.

698
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 4: Well, Yeah, I think I spoke to it.

699
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 5: Like you said, obviously an accurate deep ball passer still

700
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 5: mobile and can extend plays. I think the true definition

701
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 5: of a do a thread quarterback.

702
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: Defensively, you've gone against these guys. Very tough, okay, So

703
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: so what's it like behind center liner up against this defense.

704
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 4: It's tough.

705
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 5: They create challenges, especially up front, but on the back

706
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 5: end as well too. They have a we have a

707
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 5: fast defense on the back end, and in a group

708
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 5: of guys up front that can get after it. Linebacker

709
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 5: position probably one of the best duos in the league.

710
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 4: And just have a lot of respect for for the

711
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 4: guys on this defense.

712
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: So you're part of this free agency class and I'm

713
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: gonna let you get going here in a second. What

714
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: do you think about some of these big guys coming

715
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: up in front of you and John Simpson walking in.

716
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: You got Morgan Moses coming on board. Quarterback's best friend, right.

717
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm excited. I was spending time this morning, but

718
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 5: I'm excited to get a play with these guys.

719
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: And lastly, staying in New York, you don't have to

720
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: you don't have to pack the bags or anything at all.

721
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 4: It's the best city.

722
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,200
