WEBVTT - Jets Training Camp Update (8/11) 0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:07.440 Welcome to another edition of the Official Jets Podcast. Training 0:00:07.480 --> 0:00:10.799 Camp Rolling on here, really getting in the dog days 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:13.480 of summer. We kind of talked about this earlier. It's 0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:17.239 August tenth right now as we record this, and it 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:19.960 feels like you're taking a deep breath. You're going on, 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:21.959 You're holding your breath under the water, and before we 0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:24.599 know what, we're gonna be talking about Jets Panthers Week one. 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:26.599 Do you really feel like you're holding your breath under 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:29.880 the water? No, I just are you blowing bubbles? Probably? 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:33.080 I just feel like it's where at the point in 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:36.680 training camp where you're so locked into what you gotta 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.680 do each day that it just goes by quickly and 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:41.879 then before we know it will be like, oh, what 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:44.080 do you what do we think about Jets Panthers matchups? 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:48.400 Week one? How many training camps is this for you? Now? Six? Yeah? Six? 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.040 It's like sixth seasons? So this is my twenty one 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.160 with the Jets. In twenty second, I believe in the NFL, 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:57.240 and I think the longer you're in this, and I 0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:01.040 wanted to get your thoughts on that, the longer you're 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:04.400 in the NFL, the quicker these camps seem to go. 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:07.240 My first training camp was back in two thousand with 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.640 the Buccaneers, and I thought, oh my god, training camp 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:14.199 is never going down. Now we're sitting here, like you said, 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:17.919 we're basically at the start of the third week a camp. 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.480 I know you started training camp like in midweek or 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:26.880 Thursday actually was your first practice. But I mean, the 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:30.440 Jets and Giants are playing Saturday night. We talked about 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:34.640 it earlier. They're gonna have a day off, then they 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:38.640 we'll have a practice Monday, leave for Wisconsin. Joint practices 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:43.280 to joint practices will walk through. You play Saturday, Sunday, 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:47.760 day off, Monday, probably a lighter practice, Tuesday, and Wednesday 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.120 practice twice with the Eagles right out here at once 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:54.280 Jets drive and then you play the Eagles. Preseason's over. Yeah, 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.800 like I said, goes by quick, and I agree with 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.280 what you said. You know, I feel like my first 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.920 training camp it was like, Wow, this is this is 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.320 the NFL. This is a lot. And now it's like, 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.320 not to say it's not a lot, but it does 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.920 definitely feels a little. I feel a little calmer in 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:11.600 the storm. Also, I'll put it that way. Can you 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.640 imagine two days though, No, I was. I was thinking 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:18.480 about that when you were interviewing Curtis Martin. No, I can't. 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.280 I can't imagine being outside and the kind of heat 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.040 that we got a glimpse of today, Like it was overcast, 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.880 so we were fine, but if it was sunny outside, 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:28.959 we would have been scorching hot. And in the past, 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.120 when it is scorching hot, I can't even imagine wearing pads, 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.440 let alone two days. So tough job for the equipment guys. 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.639 Because I used to play hockey and I was a goalie, 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.440 so I had a lot of equipment. And the reason 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.320 why I'm saying that is that you'd have tournaments where 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:47.600 you played multiple games in the same day. And I 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:50.800 hated putting on wet equipment. That's one of the worst 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.640 feelings in the world. And but if you notice the 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:57.040 equipment staff here at one Jet Stride. For those who 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.920 don't know, let's paint the picture. The Jets practice all 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.320 a grass field and that all the players with their 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.919 pads put them on the turf field. All the equipment 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:09.200 guys just have fans rotating and blowing. So I don't 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.560 think that they wear wet pads ever. But it is. 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.760 It's it's definitely not a good feeling. And I know 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:18.440 we're gonna start talking x is and always in football. 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:22.760 But from a temperature standpoint, this has been about as 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.520 good as you could have hoped for. It's been rather 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:31.120 cool on the days when it's been Sonny hasn't been 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.240 too hot. It was very human out there today and 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:36.640 right now on the calendar, people are gonna be listening 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.880 to this on Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday and Thursday is 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.240 gonna be high nineties around here. Yeah, it's not gonna 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.840 be great, but the next two days are definitely like 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.400 T shirt and short kind of weather for me because 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.200 it's gonna be hot. But we got dudes on the 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.360 business side walking around here and wearing sweatshirts and jeans. Yeah, 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.240 I know, I don't understand it. I called out the 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.360 same person you did this morning and he said, you know, 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:00.720 e A. He just said the same thing to well, 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.280 you're talking to two guys that stand outside, and you know, 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.880 I got warm just looking at him in the sweatshirt 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.600 and jeans. So we were on the field late Green 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.800 and White practice Saturday night. I wanted to ask your 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.359 thoughts on just seeing people back in the building. It's great. 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.120 I think the phrase it's a sight for sore eyes 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.760 is probably often overused, but it really was. It was 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:29.640 great to hear fans cheer after pig plays, whether that's 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.719 the offense or the defense. And I think that I 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.839 think that the year away from football or the year 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:39.760 without fans really, um, I don't know. I don't want 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.159 to say like reinvigorated the fandom, but like there's something 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.880 extra about, something a little special about this season because 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.240 it's the first time that anyone's been able to see 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.680 the Jets in person from a fan perspective in a 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:57.520 year almost now what full year and a half. Yeah, 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.760 I'll tell you what. Elijah More is already a fan 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.360 favorite from what I can see. I mean, they've been 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:07.400 reading about him every day, and we've had an opportunity 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.120 to see a lot of fans come out to one 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:13.560 Jet strive for these open practices. Number eight is already 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.279 becoming a fan favorite. He came out of the tunnel 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.360 the other night at MetLife and you heard this roar, 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.240 and I loved what I saw out of McKay. Back then, 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.840 he was just wearing a smile on his space walking 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:24.800 out there on the field. Remember these guys who were 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:28.159 rookies last year, they did not have that experience. Yeah, 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:31.159 they didn't have a lot of experiences. Let's day back 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.280 to O T s and minicamp when Connam government was saying, 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.560 you know, I was talking to McKay back then, like 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.720 this is what football is supposed to be about, by 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:42.800 building bonds with your teammates and playing football. And McKay 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:45.080 backed in, and the rookie class last year didn't really 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.839 have that. Now they do. And um, you mentioned the 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.359 green and white practice, green and white scrimmage, whatever you 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.440 want to call it. You had. We had talked about 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.200 in the press box the emergence of three players, and 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.920 I think that maybe we haven't focused on them enough 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.039 on you know, just across different platforms. But that's why 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.040 we're gonna talk about it on the podcast, to make 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.760 sure that we cover our bases. Here. C J. Mosley, 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:12.040 we talked about a little bit. His neighbor on the field, 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:15.159 Jared Davis, I would say, has been ascending in practice. 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:19.440 And same with safety LaMarcus Joyner. Yeah, three defensive players. 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:22.400 How about that Jets transitioning to a four three and 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:26.640 you're talking about two linebackers. The two veteran linebackers Jeff 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:30.359 Albrick is going to depend upon, and you have a 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:34.880 lot of youth at that positions and Nasril Dean Jamie 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:38.039 and Sherwood of Black Cashman starting to make some plays 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.640 out there on the field as well, so don't forget 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:44.920 about him. And LaMarcus joint Or just brings another dynamic 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:48.640 I think to the defensive backfield. And you see him 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:53.600 and Marcus May starting both to make plays at practice, 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:57.880 and they both have very versatile skill sets and the 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.880 Jets like it that. Yeah, join Or is his safety, 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.800 but he does have that nickel versatility so he can 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:07.240 come down and play some man to man. It's it's 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:12.600 also feisty. And speaking of feisty, c J. Mosley he's 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:17.280 not the raw rack guy. But you saw him come 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:20.240 off the field other night. Actually, before he talked to 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.640 the reporters, he was saying he had a couple of 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:26.080 messages for the fans. Yeah, a couple of couple explicit messages, 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.400 like in a good way, not not like he was 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.400 taking umberge with the fans, but he was basically saying, 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:35.320 I'm still that guy. Yeah, I'm still a dog. Couple 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.320 you know, you want to put whatever flavor, whatever explicit 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.840 words within that sentence, use your own imagination. But I 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.520 think I think with Joyner and Jared Davis in particular, 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.320 I think maybe I'm wrong here. Something about being under 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.160 the lights just kind of clicked with them, and maybe 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.360 it felt a little reminiscent of a game, even though 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.960 it was just a practice, like it was a standard 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.960 padded practice with some scrimmage like elements. There wasn't full 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:05.880 tackling or anything like that, but it definitely felt like 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.440 everyone tried to to elevate their levels a little bit, 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:11.680 and those two guys in particular, I think you saw 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:16.840 it well. The Thursday prior to the Green and White scrimmage, 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:22.200 I guess or game like practice, the offense was leaning 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:25.120 on the defense out here is a longer practice. We 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:29.520 saw a lot of ground games, but on Saturday night 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:35.520 you saw the first team defense handle things and put 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:40.600 them in unfavorable down in distance situations, and Jared Davis 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.960 was flying all over the place. You talked about LaMarcus Joyner. 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:49.920 He set up C. J. Mosley's interception, making a great 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:53.959 read on the ball deflected into the air. Mosley comes 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:57.840 down with a diving interception. Mosley made a past defense 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.640 earlier in that practice, and Joiner, we should have had 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.320 an interception inside the red zone when he had a 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:08.160 beat on. I would say a force throw from Zack Wilson. 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:12.240 So listen, those guys have an opportunity here because it's 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.800 a fresh start for everybody. But when you're talking about 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:19.360 LaMarcus A. Joiner, he was most recently with the Raiders 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.920 strictly as the nickel. Now he is a safety with 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.000 the Jets, and C. J. Mosley is a fresh start 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:28.880 for him. We haven't seen him too much over the 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:33.160 last two years, and he's eager to remind everybody what 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.920 he can do on a football field. So you know, 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:39.560 those are three guys who could be who should be 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.360 key players for the Jets all year long. I just 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.320 want to say this about Jared Davis. You're probably gonna 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:46.640 make fun of me because it has to do with 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:51.960 the number. Here we go. Thankfully he ditched the forty 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.440 from Detroit. I didn't think forty was a good number 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:56.959 for him. I like that. I like the fifty, you know, 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.160 I like the fifty two. I know it's David Harris 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.520 and you know big, you know, you're a big David 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.880 Harris guy. I just think David Harris is a very 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.480 solid line. Me too, but I just got a lot 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.720 of flash, just a lot of substance. Jared Davis also 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:16.240 brings an element of piston vinegar, Like he is out there. 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.880 He seems like a mad player. He puts the pads on, 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.319 he's ready to go, he's raring to go, and he's 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.600 gonna leave it all out there. We saw one practice 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.840 he kicked his helmet to the sideline. I haven't seen 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.880 that in a long time. Uh. It seemed like the 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:34.480 next day he was almost in a skirmish with somebody. 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:38.120 So he's a veteran who's gonna, I think, gonna push 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.520 it and then maybe take a step back. I think 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:42.720 he knows where that line is. All right, Well, let's 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.680 talk about the offense. I feel like, if you're not 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.720 at Jets camping, you're going off the reactions of social 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:53.960 media beat writers. Tweets are tweets, you're eat our articles, 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.160 you're eating articles about the Jets offense. You're probably thinking like, 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:01.040 what in the world is going on here with Zack 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.600 Wilson in the offense Because the defense, I would say, 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:05.640 has been getting the upper hand the past couple of days. 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:10.720 So can you please tell everyone watching, everyone listening, like, 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.840 what why we gotta pump the brakes a little bit 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.199 and not overreact on a day to day basis, Well, 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.480 what are you gonna overreact to? Because like we just 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.080 got off the practice field today and one is Zeke 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.840 Wilson's and might have been his first passing team. You'd 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:28.240 have to correct me. Here was a forty yard past 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:32.360 down the field, back shoulder to Jamison Crowder. You can't 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.760 throw it any better? No, I was. You're right, You're 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:39.280 absolutely right, But then there's no decision making. I feel 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:43.520 like based on green and white and all the other stuff. Listen, 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.559 he's a rookie quarterback who's played in the league for 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:52.760 eleven Training camp practices on certain days that we don't 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:56.680 know about solid talks about it post practice. You have 0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:01.000 more installations than other days. There are days where the 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:05.720 head coach knows when one side of the ball is 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:11.280 going to be on ice skates going uphill backwards. You know, uh, 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.520 and there there there have been certain days like that 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:20.000 for the offense at camp um. I think sometimes yeah, 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.240 you know, even in a completion another night to Vincent Smith. 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.480 I bet you Zack Wilson would have said afterwards, when 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.679 he's watching the film that maybe releases the ball earlier, 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.000 or maybe there were a couple of decisions out there. 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.520 Maybe he doesn't throw that ball to Crowder where Javelin 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.920 Gudry is pretty tighten coverage and comes up with interceptions. 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.400 No doubt about that. No quarterback wants to turn the 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:46.680 football over. But Sala continues to talk about the process. 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:51.000 Another thing that we don't talk about nearly enough at 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:55.160 practice is you have no idea what the practice script is. 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:59.600 So sometimes they're working on third downs, but it's not 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.920 third it manageable. It might be third and fifteen, it 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:05.679 might be third and twelve. There are certain points at 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:11.480 practice called god to have its fourth down situations. We're 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.120 gonna throw the ball up in there and things like that. 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:16.840 So there's different things going on. Sometimes you're facing more 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.439 blitz packages, so you're gonna take a sack where maybe 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:24.319 you're just gonna get better from it the next time around. 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:27.720 I just think that for anybody to anticipate that Zach 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:31.160 Wilson was not going to have bumps in the road, 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:36.200 uh you, I mean, go watch It's a wonderful life 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:40.160 fifty times. The bottom line is, there is adversity. There 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.640 is adversity for young quarterbacks in the National Football League. 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.640 We haven't guys got more than a month until he 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:49.400 even plays his first NFL game? Am I missing something there? 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.120 I just like getting you fired up. I think you 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.280 made a good point about not knowing what the practice 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:58.600 script is because I'll give you a great example. If 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.000 it is a third and long period, which means that 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:05.160 every snap the Jets offense takes, whether that's Zack Wilson, 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.920 Mike White, James Morgan, or Josh Johnson, it is third 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:12.640 and ten plus, which means that the defensive line can 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.800 pin their ears back and really get after the quarterback. 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.839 Where if the Jets, let's say, on a standard drive 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.280 in the regular season, run the ball twice and they 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:26.240 get to a third and four area, the defensive line 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.440 of whatever opponent is probably not going to be able 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.240 to pin its ears back. So I think that it's 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.760 a good you have to take that into account. But 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:39.400 when we watch, we don't know what exactly they're working 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.560 on on a day to day basis. Like today, the 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:46.040 Jets offensive line, the reserve offensive line did a great 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:51.760 job opening up the holes for Ty Johnson, like here 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:55.440 we come, and those guys couldn't stop them. It was 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.040 full steam ahead. It was like here and that's really 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.200 I think what the Jets want to do as an 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:05.480 offense is establish a run and then execute chunk plays 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.080 off of play action. And that period it seemed like 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.000 they were moving the ball up, so it wasn't like 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:13.840 a third and long specific period, but earlier in practice 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.960 when you see Zach Wilson roll to his right and 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.920 you know, make a what I think people would say 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.400 is a questionable decision, like, oh, why didn't you throw 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.960 that away? To your point, maybe you know it's a 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.080 third and long or it's a gotta have it period 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.240 and you have to throw the ball. We don't know 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:33.560 exactly what's going on. Sala also said something very interesting 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:37.160 that he's going through a learning process in terms of 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:41.360 seeing what he can do and what he can't from 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.560 that's all part of it as well. Yeah, you never 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:48.920 want turnovers. I get that, and I'm not minimizing uh mistakes, 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.440 But where do you want to make mistakes on the 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.360 practice field? Right? I want to make I want my 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:57.960 young players to make more mistakes on the practice field 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.920 so they can go back and have film to look 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.440 at it, learn get better tomorrow, and then get better 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:08.200 against the Giants, and get better during practices against the 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:12.800 Packers and so forth. Um. The other thing is they 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:16.040 continue to say that he soaks things up like a sponge. 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.640 He can't get enough. And in fact, today Salo was 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.640 referring to him going across the hall. Not only is 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.720 he learning from Michael Flour and Rob Calibery's the Jets 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:30.800 quarterbacks coach, but I haven't heard too many young quarterbacks 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:33.360 do this at this stage of their careers. Where he's 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:37.160 going into Jeff all bricks room, the defensive coordinator at 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:41.359 the Jets, and talking through things from a defensive lens. 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.800 So he wants to know what they're thinking, how they're attacking. 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:49.040 So that speaks to what he wants to be, what 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.680 he aspires to be. Yeah, has it been perfect out there? No? 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:55.480 Has there been times where you're shaking your head and 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:59.760 there like it doesn't look good? Yeah, but there have 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.280 also been plenty of times on the practice field. Case 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:10.160 in point red zone yesterday, throws an unbelievably gorgeous toss too, 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:15.760 Corey Davis back shoulder to sick catch. But that's the 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:17.680 kind of connection you want to see throughout the year. 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:22.040 And you mentioned it before. La Fleur has mentioned it before, 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:26.520 Sala talks about it, Albrick talks about the problems this 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:30.439 run game will give opposing defenses. Is everything they're going 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:34.120 to do offensively is predicated on the run game done 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.880 a lot of play action and boots that fit. Zack 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:41.600 Wilson's game is going to follow. It's not like Sala 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:44.240 and La Fleur are gonna have him come out and 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:47.000 they're gonna throw twelve straight times and Caroline on, here 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.919 we go and we're just running spread off us. I 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:53.800 also think I don't know, no, I agree with everything 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:55.879 you're saying. I also think that over the next week 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:00.480 between the green Bay joint practice, let's let me rewind 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.159 the Giants Gang, the Green Boy, the Green Boy, the 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:07.560 green Bay joint practices, and the game next Saturday against 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:09.720 the Packers at Lambeau, I think you're gonna learn a 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:13.840 lot about this Jets team. And the Jets have had 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:19.240 what four for four padded practices, five padded practices maybe, 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:23.199 And I think that when you have joint practices and 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:25.720 you have a game, things get elevated up another level. 0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:29.119 I understand the preseason you're probably running vanilla schemes, but 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:34.080 I do think that you'll be able to see certain things. 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.719 You'll be able to tell certain things, like for just 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:40.119 using special teams as an example, when the lights are on, 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:46.520 that's really when you evaluate your special teams, whether that's kickers, punters, returners, gunners, 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.920 core special teamers. Rand lawyers consistently set it. You can't 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.600 really go a hundred ten miles an hour on the 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:57.720 fields behind us because that's friendly fire. You can't. And 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:01.000 when you're on special teams, you gotta go at a 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:05.359 crazy speed all the time. Yeah, and you're right about that. 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:10.280 The kicking battle, uh is ongoing. You know those two 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:14.199 guys who are here had good days today, and that 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:18.760 he humanity that the kickers gotta love. Um Braxton Burials 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:22.080 has done some very good things to the punt return 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:26.399 on the National Football League. Corey Valentine Um was a 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:30.199 lead kickoff returner last year, but it extends beyond that, 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:33.720 because who are going to be your core special teamers. 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:37.280 Justin Hardy left practice early today. Hopefully that's something minor, 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:41.840 because I like what I saw in limited plays Saturday 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:44.639 Night when he was a gunner, he was all over 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.040 the place, like as far as when that punt was 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:49.480 coming down, thirty four was right there. Also, you got 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.880 you gotta talk about Justin Hardy as a corner because 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.840 we often think of him as just a special team's ace. 0:19:56.320 --> 0:20:00.480 Feels like he's quietly having an impressive camp on the outside. Yeah, 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.960 and I know he's going against reserves mostly, but if 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:09.200 you have charted all the pds in camp, I don't 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:11.240 know hard he might have the most p ds out 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:14.080 of anybody. But speaking of cornerback, I'm glad you brought 0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:19.800 that up. I believe it's open competition everywhere. Everywhere. That's 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:23.359 nickel and both outside spots. Yeah, that's that is straight 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:28.399 up a fact. And I'm key at the Green and 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:31.359 White practice. After a couple of days of seeing rotational 0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:34.399 guys on the outside, like Salas said, as I had 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:38.440 done getting some run, Brandon Echols getting some run, both rookies, 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:42.359 one drafted, one undrafted. Then we saw Bryce Hall and 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:48.040 Bless Austin. And I feel like Bryce Hall the past 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.280 four days or so has really started to come on 0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:55.359 strong in terms of coverage, and he's a player that 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:59.119 in college before his scenes, so his senior year was 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:02.280 basically washed with an ankle injury or leg injury that 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:06.040 pushed his NFL debut back up to Monday Night Football 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:09.720 midway through the season last year and against the Patriots. 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:14.840 He was an ultra productive player at Virginia the year before, 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:17.640 led the nation in past defenses. He's got height, he's 0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:20.560 got length, and I feel like if they were a 0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:24.679 player that could take a pretty sizeable jump with a 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:29.840 proper offseason with I don't know a scheme fit, it 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:33.280 could be Bryce Hall. You could definitely make that argument. 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:37.160 You know, you mentioned his length, and that's what he's 0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:40.840 known for, right So, I think where you gotta watch 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:43.560 him now as the Jets take the next up here 0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:47.720 in the preseason, as he's talked about defeat and the 0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:50.400 quickness aspect of it, he can only get better from 0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:53.360 facing the guy like Elijah Moore, and I think oftentimes 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:56.760 we've seen that matchup here in training camp. You're not 0:21:56.800 --> 0:22:00.200 gonna play too many players in this league or face 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:03.040 too many players in this league who can match the 0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:07.199 quickness of Alijah More. Just watching those guys from the 0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:10.679 press box angle the other night, and I'm gonna including 0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:14.280 Corey Davis in this one. Wow, those guys really make 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:17.320 some sharp breaks on ropes. Corey Davis is another player 0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:20.280 who I think maybe had a quiet first week. And 0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:23.680 since he's just he's hitting doubles all the time, he's 0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:25.840 not hitting singles and he's not in hitting home runs. 0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:28.160 He's just always there when you need him to be. 0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:31.720 And whether that's a red zone fade from Zack Wilson 0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:34.160 with a nice little toe tap on the end zone, 0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:36.960 whether that's third down on the outside, something over the middle, 0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:40.439 I think he's really come on strong. And this is 0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:44.840 he's really a solid player. You you just watch four 0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:49.000 watch him play and play out. Yeah, he's so solid. 0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:53.000 And I think Wilson a good point there, I think, 0:22:54.000 --> 0:22:57.360 and would you say this is fair? I think Wilson 0:22:57.520 --> 0:23:00.520 is camp has progressed, is looking in his direct action more. 0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:03.159
