Speaker 1: Like games over and you are are the world. You
Speaker 1: plenty to win the game. He's got it. Jet Touchdown Camp.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Official New York Jets podcast, but
Speaker 1: Jets three sixty production Hot, It's human, It's training camp.
Speaker 1: The Official Jets podcast is back in studio Ethan Remer
Speaker 1: and Aeric Allen. This is like the best time of
Speaker 1: the year because football is back. I like fall better, Okay,
Speaker 1: but then the air is a little bit different. We're
Speaker 1: talking about Brandy camps calling. No, I mean it's football.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about seasons. I'm just talking. This is
Speaker 1: like a very exciting time because you see everything that
Speaker 1: transpires for like six months start to come to fruition
Speaker 1: and then not to mention the training camp battles and
Speaker 1: the position death and you can go a position by
Speaker 1: position and be intrigued by what's gonna happen and what's
Speaker 1: gonna transpire over these twenty eight days. For the first
Speaker 1: couple of days though, it's really not football because Gode
Speaker 1: Bowls would tell you it's still shorts and T shirts.
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams previewed what's ahead for this coming week Here
Speaker 1: with the pads. It's time. It's real football, and now
Speaker 1: we're gonna start to see people try to separate themselves.
Speaker 1: But it's early on the camp and I think the
Speaker 1: Jets are feeling plenty good. Jermaine Johnson, a newcomer signing
Speaker 1: free agency the Big Ticket Edition, talked about that during
Speaker 1: his media availability first day here, saying that you know,
Speaker 1: he was a part of a Rams team that struggled
Speaker 1: and they made the playoffs last season, and he said
Speaker 1: this Jets team has the potential to make the playoffs.
Speaker 1: All eyes always on the quarterbacks every year. We've talked
Speaker 1: about it at length that this is one of the
Speaker 1: most unique quarterback rooms in the league. It's only been
Speaker 1: a couple of days, but what what do you like
Speaker 1: what you've seen out of Josh mccounty and Teddy Bridgewater,
Speaker 1: Because there, at least through my eyes, have had pretty
Speaker 1: good camps so far, and they both look like they're
Speaker 1: splitting the reps pretty evenly. They're splitting them evenly, but
Speaker 1: right now, I would say Greens, I haven't seen Teddy
Speaker 1: take any first team reps right now. It's all Josh
Speaker 1: taking all the first team reps. But those guys are
Speaker 1: getting plenty of work and they'll take it. I think
Speaker 1: McCown said, what do you say after the first day
Speaker 1: that h he could he because he had the extra reps,
Speaker 1: he would indulge in some ice cream. Oh wait, wait,
Speaker 1: hold on, I gotta talk about ice cream real quick.
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of Martha's and Lake George? Have
Speaker 1: you ever been to Lake George? No? No, never. It's
Speaker 1: a basically is there ice cream? It's soft serve. It's supersized,
Speaker 1: so a kittie is like off the cone. But soft
Speaker 1: serve isn't the stuff you scoop up, correct, No, it's
Speaker 1: the thing out of the machine for people, for people
Speaker 1: coming to training camp. And there's still a couple of
Speaker 1: practices left. I think open to the public. There might
Speaker 1: be a cap on the number because after this weekend
Speaker 1: there's just two more open practices. And and sorry, folks,
Speaker 1: but the Jets are going down and they're gonna practice
Speaker 1: with the Redskins down in Richmond, Virginia, so they kind
Speaker 1: of split up training camp a little bit. But come
Speaker 1: out to Rutgers Saturday night for the Green and White.
Speaker 1: Just relating to ice cream, I'm getting there, Okay, I
Speaker 1: didn't know. I didn't know. For the people who are
Speaker 1: definitely coming out here to Flooring Park, stopped by Madison,
Speaker 1: go to the cools. That's the spot. Mccool's is the spot.
Speaker 1: And what is the ice cream flavor of choice for there?
Speaker 1: There are any number of flavors, But I'm like a chocolate,
Speaker 1: peanut butter cookie dog kind of guy. And are you
Speaker 1: coner cup? I do come like the comb because it
Speaker 1: can get to uh, it can get a little bit messy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and in the heat, specifically in the summer, I feel
Speaker 1: like it's a race to eat the ice cream for
Speaker 1: drips on and gets on your hand. Yeah, But I'm
Speaker 1: a guy gets the ice cream, puts it in a
Speaker 1: bag and I go eat it at home. I don't
Speaker 1: have to eat it right there. And I don't want
Speaker 1: to eat it outside. You don't like a nice stroll
Speaker 1: in Madison eating your ice No, I don't. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: going back to going back to mark is real quick.
Speaker 1: The reason why I brought it up is because they
Speaker 1: had something I've never heard of before, and it was
Speaker 1: mint chocolate sprinkles s. Back in the day when I
Speaker 1: was a kid that you either called them sprinkles or jimmy.
Speaker 1: Do you hear that? Yeah? My mom calls him, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: all right, let's get this back on track here. Alright. Fine,
Speaker 1: that was a little ice cream diversion there, that was
Speaker 1: that was a break. But Josh m count said, he
Speaker 1: indulged in some ice cream and I want to move
Speaker 1: on from the quarterbacks. I know, crazy idea, crazy idea. No,
Speaker 1: we should go. Well, we'll get back there at some point. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there there's plenty. There's plenty of time left. It's a
Speaker 1: marathon training camp. But I wanted to know, e A,
Speaker 1: give me a position or two that you're most excited
Speaker 1: to see as training camp transpired. Maybe it's a battle.
Speaker 1: Maybe if you just curious, have the depth chart. It's
Speaker 1: sight is your buzz word today. You really pumped up,
Speaker 1: aren't you. I'm excited. Yeah, Wide receiver position because you
Speaker 1: have Quincy and Nona who the first day had repenny on.
Speaker 1: Then he was able to take that penny off, uh
Speaker 1: and participate in team drills. And then on the third
Speaker 1: day when the Jets went to pads, he had the
Speaker 1: penny back on. So the Jets gonna take the cautious
Speaker 1: approach with him. But he looks like his old self
Speaker 1: as far as exploding in and out of breaks and
Speaker 1: he was really coming into his zone before he got
Speaker 1: hurt last year at the Green and White at Motlife Stadium.
Speaker 1: And then Terrell Prior is another guy that we have
Speaker 1: to continue to monitor because here's a guy who is
Speaker 1: a veteran. This league started out his quarterback jer Maine
Speaker 1: Curse talked about the last time I was a teammated
Speaker 1: this guy, he was a quarterback in Seattle. But Prior,
Speaker 1: you know, as we mentioned many times before, was coming
Speaker 1: into his own in Cleveland, and then he was banged
Speaker 1: up all last year Washington and he had to boot
Speaker 1: on throughout the spring. He's been able to do some
Speaker 1: things in individual drills. He's trusting in the process. He's
Speaker 1: saying he's feeling as good as he has in a
Speaker 1: long time. But if you add those two Jermaine Curse
Speaker 1: and possibly a budding star here and Robbie Anderson, this
Speaker 1: wide receiver group could really be something I agree. And
Speaker 1: something that Quincy tweeted was that the receiving room has
Speaker 1: four people that have had at least eight hundred yards
Speaker 1: one season in their career, and that's Robbie Quincy, Germaine,
Speaker 1: and Terrelle Pryor also Terrell Prior, just so I know,
Speaker 1: he is huge. He is very very big, very very tall,
Speaker 1: and he's someone that I forgot about this. I think
Speaker 1: he has the NFL's longest touchdown run as a quarterback,
Speaker 1: not only three yards in Oakland. And then so I'm
Speaker 1: gonna ask you a question. I'm gonna go to the
Speaker 1: defensive line to him. So I'm gonna switch back to
Speaker 1: the defense. And it's easy to say cornerback. But the
Speaker 1: couple of guys who jumped out to me, there are
Speaker 1: some rookies who quietly made a couple of plays here early.
Speaker 1: I think fans should be really excited here. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: use your word. The fans should be really excited about
Speaker 1: Nathan Shepherd. He flashes. There was a one on one
Speaker 1: drill that we were watching offensive line, first defensive line,
Speaker 1: big carp out there, one of the Jets better offensive linemen,
Speaker 1: and ship, Wow, you put on a move, showcased his
Speaker 1: power and he was in the backfield and heartbeat and
Speaker 1: everybody on the sideline was like whoa, yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 1: then four lines of photocos. He's also getting some reps
Speaker 1: in there in the first team. Henry Anderson is a
Speaker 1: guy who's got some starting experience with Indianapolis Colts. Leonard
Speaker 1: Williams has talked about first day camp when he reported said, Hey,
Speaker 1: the thing I gotta do is late in games, since
Speaker 1: I'm a bigger guys, keep that pad level down. But
Speaker 1: Leonard is the guy up there. Who are the guys
Speaker 1: who are going to be fixtures and staples along with him?
Speaker 1: Shep is the guy who Todd Bowles really likes because
Speaker 1: in the hands and we'd be remiss if we didn't
Speaker 1: match it. Steve McClendon, who you know, in addition to
Speaker 1: being the philosopher on the team, the guy who's almost
Speaker 1: he talks like it's almost like a Sunday sermon sometimes
Speaker 1: because he's emotional, he's driven, he's passionate. You love that
Speaker 1: kind of guy. I feel like whatever he speaks to
Speaker 1: the media, I feel like I'm in the game huddle,
Speaker 1: right And so he's ready to go. And you know,
Speaker 1: and he at thirty two, I think he's the second
Speaker 1: oldest player in the roster. But McClendon gives you good
Speaker 1: snaps up there, particularly against the run. But how are
Speaker 1: all these other guys up front going to take the
Speaker 1: next steps here in the next few weeks. But this
Speaker 1: Shepherd guy and he got some first team raps too,
Speaker 1: and he was doing something as well. I got two things.
Speaker 1: One is Shepherd. If you remember in the Senior Bowl
Speaker 1: everyone raved about he broke his hand at the Senior
Speaker 1: Bowl when everyone raved that he was dominating Will Hernandez,
Speaker 1: who's now the Giants offensive lineman. And well, Hernandez was
Speaker 1: regarded as one of the top linemen in the draft.
Speaker 1: And then not only that, but Bowles mentioned after the
Speaker 1: Jets drafted him, he just kept talking about his heavy
Speaker 1: hands and you saw it when he lined up against
Speaker 1: carp And the other thing is, here's a piece of
Speaker 1: Jets roster trivia this year. You said McClendon is the
Speaker 1: second oldest player on the team. Believe there are three
Speaker 1: players thirty or older. You know it's McCowen, McClendon. Can
Speaker 1: you name the third or can Jets Nation also named
Speaker 1: the third? Well, Blog is gonna turn thirty in October,
Speaker 1: so it's not him yet. And by the way, two,
Speaker 1: niness looking fine. Yeah, he is looking pretty good, like
Speaker 1: on wine vintage wine down there? Um the third over
Speaker 1: thirty offensive line Dodd do do don receiver do do
Speaker 1: do do the food linebackers. Welcome back to Double Jeopardy Daily,
Speaker 1: Andre Roberts. That's a good call, okay, So Andre robertson,
Speaker 1: you know, that's something that the fans don't here too
Speaker 1: much about, and that's gonna develop over time during training camp.
Speaker 1: But the guys back there who returns at the return
Speaker 1: spot we're gonna battle is Andre Roberts you just mentioned,
Speaker 1: also Trent and Cannon, the rookie from Virginia State. But
Speaker 1: he's getting a lot of run and team rops and
Speaker 1: we're gonna get the running back here in just a second.
Speaker 1: Eli McGuire not gonna be part of I need that
Speaker 1: return competition right now, and then the other guy in
Speaker 1: the mix as well as Lucky Whitehead. So let's make
Speaker 1: the transition right there to Eli McGuire. I feel really
Speaker 1: bad for him. Strong spring first day camp, non contact
Speaker 1: tracts foot so Toddles didn't give a timetable here at
Speaker 1: the time, but he'll be out for a little bit
Speaker 1: right Adam Schefter tweeted he's gonna get he meaning McGuire
Speaker 1: is gonna get surgery should be at least three to
Speaker 1: six weeks. Okay, that's what Chefter said, but I'm just
Speaker 1: telling absolutely okay, So we'll go by that, and you
Speaker 1: know what it means for the running backs is that
Speaker 1: you know you brought up Chefty. So then we'll go
Speaker 1: down and outworking and talking. And Rappaport he said that
Speaker 1: the Jets worked out of Ulford Morris and former Giant. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go. But the guy immediately this week when
Speaker 1: we're talking here on the podcast who's gonna get more
Speaker 1: opportunity is a guy who had some success in Seattle.
Speaker 1: That's Thomas Rawls. Because if you're looking at a dub
Speaker 1: Charter goes one ballah to Isaiah Crow three Eli. Wait,
Speaker 1: take Eli out of the equation. Thomas Rawls will get
Speaker 1: some more run. And the guy who I think is
Speaker 1: probably getting a lot of ice best here early is
Speaker 1: in it because Cannon's getting a lot of work. He
Speaker 1: is Thomas Rawls. Also, I mean, he had some good
Speaker 1: moments there in Seattle, and he's not a bad running
Speaker 1: back whatsoever. In fact, I'd say he's more talented than
Speaker 1: you may think. But before we wrap up here, you
Speaker 1: know we can talk about training camp battles every day,
Speaker 1: all day, every podcast, all podcasts. Is there anything else
Speaker 1: that you want to talk about before we get into
Speaker 1: this old on, I want to throw it. You want
Speaker 1: questions on Twitter, because I'm telling you to use the
Speaker 1: Twitter more, use the Twitter and as the Twitter and
Speaker 1: and ask people, you know, ask people to be part
Speaker 1: of the program. I do ask people people don't want
Speaker 1: to be a part of I tweeted out they don't answer.
Speaker 1: Just by the way, shameless pluck follow him at e
Speaker 1: Allen Jet. You can follow me at e Greenberg Allen
Speaker 1: Jets on Instagram too, because I'm trying to pump up
Speaker 1: the product there, all right, trying to improve the product,
Speaker 1: I promise. Uh. Justin writes in how do you feel
Speaker 1: about the Jets acquiring Isaiah Role? I like to move.
Speaker 1: I think how old is he? Like twenty five or
Speaker 1: something like that. Yeah, right, so he's young. He's a
Speaker 1: bully when he runs, but he can also catch out
Speaker 1: of the backfield, and I think that he's a nice compliment,
Speaker 1: especially compared to Bilal and Eli. I think you have
Speaker 1: three backs that are similar, but I think bilal and
Speaker 1: Eli when he's back or more similar than Isaiah. So
Speaker 1: a lot of fans, I think, enjoy the bully runner
Speaker 1: and when Chris Ivory was here. He was that guy.
Speaker 1: But I think Isaiah Crowell's a little more versatile think
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory, and he's younger, and he has less tread
Speaker 1: on the tires, and he put up pretty good numbers
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. He did. He put up very good numbers
Speaker 1: and I think his average was over four, right, So
Speaker 1: just watching him individual drills and he got into the
Speaker 1: end zone a lot. And I think where you might
Speaker 1: see him a bunch is maybe some short yard situations.
Speaker 1: Maybe if the third on you decide you want to
Speaker 1: you want to get that one yard, maybe go two tights.
Speaker 1: You're bringing a big alte that's Lawrence Thomas, and give
Speaker 1: the ball to crawl. Maybe he's the guy right there,
Speaker 1: but he thinks his versatility wasn't used as much as
Speaker 1: it could have been in Cleveland. And he's not not
Speaker 1: going to Browns or anything like that. But the one
Speaker 1: thing you do notice, Green's when we're standing on the
Speaker 1: sideline each and every day, hydrating on that sideline while
Speaker 1: the sun beats down on us, is Isaac Rowell has
Speaker 1: good hands. He does. He has good hands, and you
Speaker 1: know he catch the ball out of the back field too,
Speaker 1: So that stood out to me. So moving on, Greg
Speaker 1: writes in what are some differences you've noticed between Jeremy
Speaker 1: Bates office and John Morton's. Also how our second year
Speaker 1: receivers are Darri Stewart and Chad Hands And looking first
Speaker 1: thing I'll say about Bates this so early in camp
Speaker 1: right now, the thing that Todd Bole said when he
Speaker 1: made the change he promoted Jeremy Bates is I think,
Speaker 1: and you just from Calvin Beacham too, I think the
Speaker 1: Jets want to be a little bit more balanced this
Speaker 1: year as far as the run game is concerned. But
Speaker 1: Jeremy Bates is Mr Energy. Really liked his approach on
Speaker 1: the field again, tremendous job with Josh McConnell last year,
Speaker 1: career year. They have that good relationship and everybody has
Speaker 1: been positive about Jeremy so far. But it's been early
Speaker 1: on in the process. But I would just anticipate from
Speaker 1: a philosophical position, Todd Bowles thinking when we were running
Speaker 1: a little bit more here this year. This is something
Speaker 1: that you just have to see what it looks like
Speaker 1: on game day and then you know, practice is so
Speaker 1: hard to tell, especially like you talked about before, you're
Speaker 1: installing things and installing things. But to the second half
Speaker 1: of that question, how our second year receivers Chad Hanson
Speaker 1: and our Darius Stewart. Well, Hanson had a very good spring,
Speaker 1: and something that we've talked about is I think it
Speaker 1: will be interesting to see how he adjust wants the
Speaker 1: pads come on, and how he adjust to contact, because
Speaker 1: you don't really have that in the spring. It's the
Speaker 1: light contact. You can't really hit. But I'm very intrigued
Speaker 1: to see that step that Chad will take. And I'm
Speaker 1: very interested because the thing is everyone said, okay he
Speaker 1: and he even he said, my legs got stronger. I
Speaker 1: understand how to set guys up more. Okay, Well, then
Speaker 1: once the paths come on, you can really tell. Stewart
Speaker 1: had he closed the first practice on a forty yard
Speaker 1: bomb from Teddy Bridgewater. And he's someone that you know
Speaker 1: is very aggressive with the ball in his hands, and
Speaker 1: last year he flashed at times of the Titans. I
Speaker 1: actually think he'll be better with pads. Yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: absolutely he And so in the preseason against the Titans,
Speaker 1: he had that nasty stiff arm and he had that
Speaker 1: one handed catch against the Dolphins in Week three where
Speaker 1: he go over the middle, So I'm interested to see
Speaker 1: how he does too. I'm I'm not gonna lie. I'm
Speaker 1: a big sucker for the second year guys because I'm
Speaker 1: always curious to see how they do. I'm always optimistic
Speaker 1: about their progress to break for start suspended for the
Speaker 1: first two into the season, but that means more opportunities
Speaker 1: for other guys, like the Hands of the World, because
Speaker 1: that at that battle, after those top guys receiver, that's
Speaker 1: gonna be something that's gonna be something we're gonna be
Speaker 1: talking about over the next couple of weeks. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: want to break down the news here, Yeah, let's break it.
Speaker 1: Break it down man. Coming in two thousand nineteen, on
Speaker 1: a date that has yet to be determined, Ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: the New York Jets are unveiling new uniforms. Okay, number
Speaker 1: one is this uniforms the Jets currently wear and they
Speaker 1: will wear in two thousand eighteen. The current jersey state
Speaker 1: this season was an outstanding uniform. I think, uh paying
Speaker 1: homage to the Super Bowl team in the past, really
Speaker 1: traditional vintage. With that being said, my interaction with people
Speaker 1: on social media on me that a lot of folks
Speaker 1: really desired to change uniforms, and you're seeing that all
Speaker 1: over the place nowadays. Titans this year. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: the Rams are gonna have the Jaguars changed our helmets.
Speaker 1: Thank God, that God, that gold, that Matt Gold was
Speaker 1: not doing it for me. I'm talking about the Jets
Speaker 1: uniforms here. Let me give you some facts here. The Jets,
Speaker 1: of course, started as the Titans in New York Navy
Speaker 1: golden white back from nineteen sixteen and nineteen sixty two.
Speaker 1: That and those three years you were in that was kindergarten,
Speaker 1: the second grade for you, greens. Uh. Then nineteen sixty
Speaker 1: three the Jets become the Jets, the Titans transition to
Speaker 1: the Jets. Uh. And then we see the Kelly green
Speaker 1: and white becoming synonymous with up stars from the American
Speaker 1: Football League Greens. Three major uniform changes since, including prior
Speaker 1: to Bill parselves over saw a color change from Kelly
Speaker 1: green to Hunter green, removing black as an excent color.
Speaker 1: Painting homage that Super Bowl three championship team with the
Speaker 1: modified version of that over on the helmet that was
Speaker 1: used from sixty five to the nineteen seven. So you
Speaker 1: have favorite uniform, I don't know favorite helmet, do you
Speaker 1: because they're old school. I like the Kelly Green with
Speaker 1: the lettering Jets on the side. I do like those,
Speaker 1: but I think that'd be a sweet alternate jersey. One
Speaker 1: of my favorite uniforms were actually the Color Rush because
Speaker 1: he got the white face mask when when when the
Speaker 1: Jets go all white, it's a night game, and he
Speaker 1: got the white face mass that is clean. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: Jets have had a couple of white outs with the
Speaker 1: white face masks, but the Color Rush game in Buffalo,
Speaker 1: that's when you're talking about Yeah wait too, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was an exciting game to two sixteen. I guess
Speaker 1: that would be two thousand six. So we have to
Speaker 1: stress this. The Jets will be in their current uniform
Speaker 1: throughout the two thousand eighteen season one on mission though
Speaker 1: Week seven against the Minnesota Vikings at My Life Stadium,
Speaker 1: Green Out, the Jets will be wearing their quote unquote
Speaker 1: Color Rush uniforms Green on Green Week seven against the
Speaker 1: Color Rush like the okay, and so does that mean
Speaker 1: that the Thursday game against I don't think. I don't
Speaker 1: think the Jets will not. I believe the Jets are
Speaker 1: not in Color Rush for that game. Oh they're not.
Speaker 1: Maybe you sure, maybe it's I was thinking maybe that's
Speaker 1: the all white. I don't know. I know for certain
Speaker 1: that I think a lot of people. Listen, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: We don't know the details, so we can't comment on
Speaker 1: the new uniform, so we can't break it down for you.
Speaker 1: Oh this color this or that logo this or that
Speaker 1: jersey this or that pant stripe or whatever. We don't know.
Speaker 1: But uh, Jets did a nice on veil on Sunday night.
Speaker 1: Pretty cool, I guess. Uh. The Fellas in social media
Speaker 1: decided to do like a word puzzle or something I
Speaker 1: didn't play with that. I didn't play with that, so
Speaker 1: I wrote the article and I know, I know the
Speaker 1: Fellas did a nice job with going through the uniforms
Speaker 1: over the years. So check that out in the UK
Speaker 1: dot com and all our social media properties. That is
Speaker 1: something that I think fans are going to react enthusiastic too.
Speaker 1: And by the way, when we get the spring, they're
Speaker 1: going on something. There's always gonna be some people don't
Speaker 1: like it. Because you have a section of people who
Speaker 1: don't like anything, you know, you can tell them, you know,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what it is. They're just they're hey,
Speaker 1: you're a hater. Uh. There'll be other people like I
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe this is too much of a throwback,
Speaker 1: or maybe it's too fashion forward for me or things
Speaker 1: like that, but I think when you put Nike together,
Speaker 1: you put people in eternally together. As far as people
Speaker 1: are looking out for the uniforms, I have complete belief
Speaker 1: that they're gonna come up with the nice design that
Speaker 1: the majority of people will like. I'm gonna second that.
Speaker 1: And on that note, come out to training camp green
Speaker 1: and White Saturday, Rutgers. Well, green and White. You that's
Speaker 1: your best opportunity, I think right now. And that's the
Speaker 1: first for the Jets. Uh. And that's always a nice
Speaker 1: fun family event there. It is the Official Jets Podcast,
Speaker 1: Ethan Greenberg, Eric Allen. We're
