Here the 3 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:15,239 Speaker 1: Free Agency Breakdown thirty eight. It's Tuesday. I believe, I 4 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,159 Speaker 1: believe it's Tuesday. All the days feel the same. We 5 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 1: talked about that a little bit yesterday and we have 6 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: a lot to get to today, but let's just kick 7 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: things off right off the bat. That Jets officially made 8 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: their first move of free agency, resigning or agreeing to 9 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: terms should I say, with starting left guard for twelve 10 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: games this past season Alex Lewis. Joe Douglas of course 11 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: said that the offensive line was going to be a 12 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 1: priority for this team in the off season, in every season, 13 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: at off season in which he is a general manager, 14 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 1: and his first semi official move because of everything going 15 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: on and the league at technically starting tomorrow, Alex Lewis 16 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: as a member of the New York Jets, and then 17 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: it was reported that the Jets had agreed to terms 18 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: or reportedly struck deal with Broncos center Connor McGovern. So 19 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: e A, let's just start with the resigning of Alex Lewis, 20 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 1: because that was the agreement to terms that was official. 21 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: Of course, the social platforms put it out there. So 22 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: what do you think of the moving what this means 23 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: for the Jets now and moving forward. Well, Green's good 24 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: evening to both you and live. Happy to be with 25 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: you guys once again as we roll on here through 26 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: free agency. Just a crazy time. We're living in Kevin 27 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: Durant test positive group for coronavirus today along with three 28 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,839 Speaker 1: other Brooklyn nuts. You've got Tom Brady announcing that he's 29 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: no longer going to be a New England Patriot um 30 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: and much of the United States on lockdown. So I 31 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: feel blessed to have an opportunity to keep on talking 32 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: a little bit about football with you guys and maybe 33 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: get our minds off of things just for a moment. 34 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: And I hope we can provide just the slightest distraction 35 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: for everybody out there. But yeah, Alex lewis tough, hard 36 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: nose guy. Remember when he was acquired by the Jets. 37 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: Um Baltimore was actually going to put him on waivers, 38 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: but Joe Douglas said, oh no, I'll give you a 39 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: draft pick um, and he came in. Last year. Greens 40 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: was supposed to play a reserve role, but then the 41 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: Collectia assumble situation occurred and Lewis came out board. I 42 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: thought he played uh pretty well, uh, and he started 43 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: twelve consecutive games for the Jets, so um, I thought 44 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: all along that would be a guy of the six 45 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: Jets unrestricted free agents who started along the offensive line 46 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: last year. Was not surprised at all that Douglas brought 47 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: him back. And I would also say that Joe Douglas 48 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: is following up on everything he has said so far. 49 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: He said he's gonna emphasize the offensive line, while he 50 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: agreed to terms with George Phant from the Seattle Seahawks, 51 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: then he resigns Alex Lewis, and then tonight we find 52 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: out the Jets signed or agreed and principle correcting myself here, 53 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: agreed and principle with former Broncos center kind of recovered. Yeah. 54 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: I think when you look at Joe Douglas and how 55 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: he's been talking about building this offensive line, one of 56 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: the most important things to do, first and foremost is 57 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: to take a look at the pieces you already kind 58 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: of had inside that locker room and say which piece 59 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: has worked so for them to bring back Alex Lewis, 60 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: who I think played such a critical role on the 61 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: offensive line this past season is really huge, and like 62 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: you already mentioned, it's kind of crazy to have a 63 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: guy who originally wasn't really meant to be a starter 64 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: and now you're signing him and bring him back for 65 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: three years. So he also had I mean, he was personally, 66 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know about you, Ethan, but he 67 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: was one of my favorite guys to always interview in 68 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: the locker room. He's yes, always willing to do in 69 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: one on one no matter what you know. Alex Lewis 70 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: is one of the more interesting guys. He's a character, 71 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: that's for sure. And I don't know if a lot 72 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: of fans know this, but he has a dance background 73 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: because his mom was a dance teacher when he was 74 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: a kid, and then he took dance and so he 75 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: was big into dancing when he was little, all different forms. 76 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: I asked him what his favorite form of dance was. 77 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: He said, oh, you know, I dab a little little ballroom, 78 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: a little hip hop, a little bit of whatever. Before 79 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: he was like three hundred some pounds and um. You know, 80 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: it's funny because these past two days feel like it's 81 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: been forever and everybody's on the edge of their seat 82 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: waiting to see not only what the Jets do, but 83 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: what their team does in free agency, but so far 84 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: before free agency technically opens tomorrow, I believe it's at 85 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: four o'clock four pm on Wednesday, the Jets and Joe 86 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: Douglas theoretically have agreed in principle with three offensive linemen, 87 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: and I believe that was really the only moves that 88 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: have been reported on the surface so far of George Fant, 89 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: the former Seahawk, resigning Alex Lewis and then bringing in 90 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: Connor McGovern from the Denver Broncos, who has been their 91 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: starting center for the past two seasons. He actually tweeted, 92 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: I mean, nothing's official yet, I know, but he tweeted, 93 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: couldn't be more excited to be a Jet. Hopefully with 94 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: all this craziness going on, we can get to work soon. 95 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: Excited for big things to come. Hashtag take flight and 96 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: that is some positivity from the Jets new center e 97 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: A and I think Jets fans should be excited about 98 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: the direction that Joe Douglas is going, not only by 99 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: addressing the offensive line, but really a bargain so far 100 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: on these deals, not going for the splashy guys, but 101 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: going for more quantity and quality and finding the perfect 102 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: mix of those too well value, that's the word I'm 103 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: gonna look for. And a guy like Fan, he's got 104 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: experienced greens and lived both at left tack Atlanta right tackle, 105 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: was a third tight end for the Seattle Seahawks at 106 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: times as well. Um, I'm sure he projects to be 107 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: a tackle for the Jets. Um, we'll have to hear 108 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: Adam Gates and Joe Douglas talk about Fan, but he 109 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: could be potentially you're starting left tackle in two thousand 110 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: uh twenty. And then Um lewis again one of those tough, 111 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: hard nose mallers. He's a good locker room guy. I 112 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: think it also underscores what Joe Douglas said has continued 113 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: to say he's looking for certain types of guys, people 114 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: who love football. He said that there are too many 115 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: easy ways out and he's looking for petitive guys, team 116 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: oriented guys. And then he follows it up today with 117 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: Connor McGovern, who former fifth round pick from the Denver Broncos. 118 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: And if you look at the directory, uh the trajectory 119 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: of his career, he started out, he didn't play his 120 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: rookie season. Uh, and then he got in and he 121 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: was playing some guard and center, and then in the 122 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: third and fourth seasons he became the full time center 123 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: for the Denver Broncos and Philip Lindsay became him. Became 124 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: the first undrafted free agent in the history in the 125 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: National Football League to record back to back a thousand 126 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: yards seasons. And the guy calling the signals and helping 127 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: the quarterback with protections is a very important piece because 128 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: the Jets most valuable player is Sam Donald. Liv Did 129 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: you see the video of George Fan catching a football 130 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: and and he had a reception on Monday night football 131 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: for the Seattle Seahawks and their highlighted green uniform. I 132 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: did not see that, you're as you got to look 133 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: for it, because it's evident that he is extremely athletic. 134 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: And you know, I will sorry to interrupt you, but 135 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: real quick, I will say that somebody did send me 136 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: a video on Twitter of him absolutely destroying people in basketball. 137 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: So I didn't Yeah, yeah, so okay. So we talked 138 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: about it yesterday that he's an athletic guy, and I 139 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: think that um Randy Lang was doing some research. Are 140 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: basically our historian, the best stats guy in the Northeast, 141 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: and Randy came across this article that basically said fan 142 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: wanted an opportunity to play on the left side of 143 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: the line, and whether or not he found that with 144 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: the Jets, I guess will be to be determined. But 145 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: we'll see. And you know, as we move forward to 146 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: the official starter free agency, if the Jets want to 147 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: look to add some more pieces along the offensive line, 148 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: you know, there's still a handful of guy is out 149 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: there that could be starters and one guy that I 150 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: think piques my interest, and I don't know it probably 151 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: I don't know if the signing of Alex Lewis makes 152 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: this unlikely. But just Pete, who played for the Saints 153 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: for the past couple of seasons. I mean, he's a 154 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: pro bowler in two thousand and eighteen and two thousand nineteen. 155 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: He's a former first round pick in twenty fifteen. And 156 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: when you look at these guys, I mean, I'm just 157 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: curious to see if Joe Douglas is interested in any 158 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: any of the top second tier options. I mean, you 159 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 1: look at Jason Peters. I know I mentioned him last night. 160 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: He's on he's old, he's thirty eight, years old. Andrew Whitworth, 161 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: the left tackle for the Rams for the past people, alright, fine, 162 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: but it is old in NFL years, And I think 163 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 1: that Andrew Whitworth is, you know, another one of those 164 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: guys where I'd be curious to see what Joe Douglas 165 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: want to go after either of those two, because if 166 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 1: you were to sign Jason Peters or Andrew Whitworth, I 167 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: would imagine George Fant would be playing the right side. 168 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: But then yet again, I don't know. And you know, 169 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: I think a lot of fans want to see some 170 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: more additions to the offensive line, and a lot of 171 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 1: fans will point to the Bills from last year and 172 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: how they approach free agency and they signed seven offensive 173 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: linemen and they just said, you know what we're gonna 174 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: We're gonna build a wall around Josh Allen. And you know, 175 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: Joe Douglas loves his his his big uglies. So I 176 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: don't know if this prohibits them from going after these 177 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: kind of guys or if we're looking at a different 178 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: tier after Louis fan and McGovern a good point about 179 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: the Bills last year because a lot of those signings, 180 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: like a guy like Quentin Spain who they just resigned. 181 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: Here in free agency, we're value based signings. They had 182 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: the one guy with the very lucrative contract in that 183 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: with center Mitch Morse. So yeah, I can I'm starting 184 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: to see some similarities there. Greens. I'm glad you mentioned 185 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: the Bills, um because they wanted to fortify what was 186 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: in front of Josh Allen. Now I would also add 187 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: what we all, you know, we followed the combine, we 188 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: were there. Uh. One thing that struck me was Joe 189 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: Douglas was very complimentary of Brian winners. So I mean 190 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: left to right, right now you could be looking at 191 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: fant then Um, Alex Lewis McGovern winners. And remember to 192 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: Mindoga you got some starting experience as a rookie last year, 193 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: so he he'll be entering his second professional season. And 194 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: another thing I'd like to stress is that the Jets 195 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: are still sitting there with the eleventh overall selection, and 196 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: again one of those really talented board tackles could be 197 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: on the board, and maybe the Jets like all those 198 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: options and maybe they could still go tackle early in 199 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: the draft. Yeah, especially when you mentioned a couple of 200 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: older guys Ethan. You mentioned Jason Peters Andrew Whitworth. I 201 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: don't know for me personally, do you think it makes 202 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: more sense to pick up guys who are a little 203 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: bit older or does it make more sense now that 204 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: you've signed a couple of guys in free agency and 205 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: you have some guys that might be returning, then just 206 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: turn your focus to the draft. Yeah, I think that's uh. 207 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: I think it's a good question. I think that it's twofold. 208 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: I think first of all, I don't know. This is 209 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: just me and uh with some some guessing here. I 210 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: feel like Joe Douglas, between the two older guys that 211 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: I mentioned, would feel more comfortable bringing in Jason Peters, 212 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: considering he spent time with the Eagles and he knows 213 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: probably better than anybody else in the Jets organization what 214 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: Jason Peters could have left in the tank compared to 215 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: Andrew Whitworth and Jason Peter is is I feel like 216 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: one of those staple guys that Joe Douglas would want 217 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: to emulate in terms of traits. And you know, I 218 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: know Jason Peters has had injury questions in the past, 219 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: but from everything that you read about Jason Peters, it 220 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: seems like um it seems like he can still play, 221 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: and there's a decent amount left in the tank. And 222 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: the benefit of going the draft route is one the 223 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: price you pay for some of these guys because they're 224 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: on a rookie contract and to just their youth. And 225 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: the benefit of all these guys is they all have 226 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: experience on the right side. So let's say theoretically, you 227 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: did sign Jason Peters, who has been, you know, a 228 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: staple left tackle in the NFL for years, and you 229 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: drafted Andrew Thomas out of Georgia. Let's say Andrew Thomas 230 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: has played left tackle for the Georgia Bulldogs past two years, 231 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: but his freshman year he started at right tackle, so 232 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 1: it's not it's not new for him, Whereas if you 233 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: look at Jeddrick Wills, he's never played on the left 234 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: side of the line at Alabama or in high school. 235 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: So there's still so many ways that Joe Douglas can 236 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: add to this offensive line, and the one that we 237 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: haven't talked about yet is trade. And Joe Douglas has 238 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 1: consistently said there's so many avenues in which you can 239 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: add to a team at any position. But because we're 240 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: talking about the old line, one of the big fish 241 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: names out there that's been dangled around is Trent Williams, 242 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: the Redskins left hand. But what would the price be 243 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: and where that I feel like the price isn't in 244 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: the traft capital you'd give up. I feel like the 245 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: price would be in the extension that he supposedly is seeking. 246 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: So I think that's I'm just using Trent Williams as 247 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: an example, but I feel like Joe Douglas could go 248 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: down that route too. If you wanted to bolster the line, 249 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: you could always examine trade just as the just as 250 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: Douglas did in August with Alex Lewis. Understood you mentioned 251 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: Peters a couple of times, and listen, I'm not taking 252 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: anything away from a great career, well respected guy, tremendous 253 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: in the room. And you mentioned a Green, still a 254 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: very effective player despite his age at thirty eight years old. 255 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: But if you're bringing fant I kind of think you're 256 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: gonna puncil him in a starter. I don't want to 257 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: get ahead of myself and speak for these guys. I 258 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: agree with you. I know you're gonna have to win 259 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: the job and the other guy to factor in an equation. 260 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: Even prior to the draft is a DOGO. I'm not 261 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: saying a Douglas being a starter is definitely starter next year. 262 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: But say you did draft to tackle, um uh, maybe 263 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: Chuma becomes your swing your swing tackle, m h um. 264 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: So I just think what Douglas is doing right now 265 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: is everything that we thought he would. And I think 266 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: that people externally we're looking at the monstrous names on 267 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: the market and saying, well, the Jets are definitely gonna 268 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: make a splash with those guys. I never thought that 269 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: it was death finite that they were gonna get one 270 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: of those top guys and they were gonna go above 271 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: a price that they said internally. And he wants to 272 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: build that. You're seeing the ways of trying to build it. 273 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: And again third time the night, we're gonna mention Buffalo. 274 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: Last year, a lot of value guys they got, and 275 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: they spent on one big name and that was Mitch Morse. 276 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: And again this draft is loaded with offensive tackle talent. 277 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: So what's to see what happens. And there's plenty of 278 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: time still remaining in free agency um to do even 279 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: more upfront along that offensive line. Well, I'm glad you 280 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: mentioned the Bills because I wanted to pivot into some 281 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: bill stock, not because of what they did last year, 282 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: but because of what they did right after we stopped 283 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: recording our podcast last night, the Bills and acquire Stefant Diggs, 284 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: the receiver from the Minnesota Vikings, of course supremely talented. 285 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,239 Speaker 1: So and one day the Andre Hopkins was traded about lunchtime, 286 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: and then right before everyone went to bed, Stefon Diggs 287 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: got traded to the Buffalo bill So the Jets will 288 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: see Diggs twice a year for the foreseeable future. So live, 289 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: I just wanted to get your take on Stefon Diggs 290 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: now being a member of the a f C East, 291 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: I was definitely not surprised that he got traded because 292 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: he had that tweet yesterday with the eyes emojis, you know, 293 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: and everyone was talking about him wanting change in this 294 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: and that. So I wasn't surprised that a trade happened. 295 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: I was surprised that it came. You know, he's headed 296 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: to the a f C East, to the Buffalo Bills. 297 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: But right away you saw Josh Allen tweeting your dig 298 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 1: and so they had that back and forth, which was 299 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: really cool. But to have Stephen Diggs in the a 300 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: f C East, which now means that Greg Williams and 301 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: this defense has to face a wide receiver with so 302 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: much talent one of you know, I would I would 303 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: say it's fair to say he is one of the 304 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: top fifteen twenty wide receivers in the league. That's my 305 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: personal opinion. But to have him, to have the Jets 306 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: defense with Greg Williams faced him twice a year, I mean, 307 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: that's gotta be in the back of Greg Williams mind, 308 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: now right. I would assume So, I don't know, you know, 309 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: you know Greg very well. Live I I think he's 310 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: always like, hey, hey, I'll play with you three. I'll 311 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: play with Live Greens and we'll figure this out. Make 312 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: it work. He's going to make it work. He's got 313 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: so much confidence. And he was one of the top 314 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: assistant coaches in the National Football League last year. Uh, 315 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: what a wonder it was just to watch him, uh 316 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: work because the Jets endured so many injuries last year. 317 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: And I will say that the price was steep, but uh, 318 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: what do you think both of you to ask the questions, 319 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: I would turn the table on both of you in 320 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: terms of Diggs, and maybe it was worth it. For 321 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: the Bills to go in that direction because they needed 322 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: a number one receiver. John Brown is a good player, 323 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: but this opens things up for him even more. You 324 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: got Cole Beasley at that slot position, and Diggs becomes 325 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: a true number one receiver. He can go, go up 326 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: and get those contested balls. Is also a deep threat um, 327 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: and the Bills are surrounding Josh Allen with a lot 328 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: of offensive talent. UM. So when you looked at the price, 329 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: originally I have a sinking Oh my god, it's a 330 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: lot of draft capital. But even though this is a draft, 331 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: I should say a receiver rich draft. Um. I don't 332 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: know if the Bills were going to get somebody the 333 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: talent of Stefon Diggs at twenty two overall, So then 334 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: what do you look at what you're giving up in 335 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 1: a into that Yes, the fourth next year, but I 336 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: believe it was what a five and a six this year? 337 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: That might be. I don't know if it's a gamble 338 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 1: at all. I think people looked at the compensation and say, 339 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 1: oh my god, but they're comparing it to the DeAndre 340 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: Hopkins deal. Again, Um, every deal is different. But the Bills, 341 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 1: I think we're determined that we're gonna go out and 342 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: get a piece. That gave them an opportunity to see 343 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: what Josh Allen really is and can he take that 344 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,719 Speaker 1: next step. I feel like the Bills have officially like 345 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: they're shooting their shot. For lack of a better analogy, 346 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: it feels like they're really going all in this year. 347 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: And you know, they were a playoff team last year. 348 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: And to your point, I felt like they needed a receiver. 349 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: And Stefon Diggs is I know live you said like 350 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: top twenty, i'd even you know, I'm gonna argue probably 351 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: top eight Stefen, Oh for sure. Yeah, I said top eight, 352 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: just to you know, make it a little more bold. 353 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: But I know, thank you very much. But I think, uh, 354 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: I think it was a good move for the Bills. 355 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: And to your point, he I mean, they have money 356 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: to spend in free agency and they've been doing so. 357 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,959 Speaker 1: I saw it was reported they just extended Jordan Poyer. 358 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: They signed Mario Addison, who I'm sure it was under 359 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott and Carolina back when he was their defensive coordinator. 360 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: So I feel like the Bills are are officially taking 361 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: an aggressive step forward. And I think to your point, 362 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: it's probably for the best, you know, moving forward this year, 363 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: and you know, let's see what you got. And I'm uh, 364 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: I thought it was a good deal. And you know, 365 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: I understand that giving up a lot of draft capital 366 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: isn't necessarily uh common for Brandon being the general manager there, 367 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: but if opportunity arises, I mean, you remember last year 368 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: it was Ian Rappaport reported that Antonio Brown was being 369 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: traded to the Buffalo Bills, and then that ended up 370 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: falling through, and of course Antonio Brown went to the 371 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: Raiders and is now out of the league. But the 372 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: Bills were clearly in need and wanted a top tier receiver, 373 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: and I think they got one. Yeah. I think when 374 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: you just take a look at the trade as a 375 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: whole and look at this Bills team, there a team 376 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: who made a playoff run last season, and they have 377 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: a lot of the same pieces returning. They made the 378 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: big trade for Stefon Diggs, signed a couple of free 379 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: agents already resigned, some returning, so some players that are 380 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: going to be returning to this roster. I think I 381 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: think that they're going to be again, yet again, a 382 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: very good team this year. And I don't know about 383 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 1: you guys, But I'm super excited to see Stefon Diggs 384 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: twice a year playing against the Jets. I think that's 385 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: going to be a great competition for Greg Williams, and 386 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: I just think of players like Jamal Adams. Obviously he's 387 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: a safety, but we've seen him in pass coverage before too, 388 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: So I'm really excited to see what this Jets defense 389 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: can do against why receiver like him. Yeah, that is 390 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: a great That's a great lead in UH live because 391 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: we can make the transition here when you're talking about 392 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: digs and what the Bills are doing offensively. Um, the Jets, 393 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna find out here in the next couple of 394 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: weeks and in months what they're gonna do at the 395 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: cornerback position, um, because right now there are some question marks, 396 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 1: and you know I talked about it on the inside 397 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: last night. Is that nickel corner Brian Pool still out there? Um? 398 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: And then maybe some decisions to make with guys who 399 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: currently have contracts, but the Jets could uh free themselves 400 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: up with some space as well. So we'll have to 401 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: see what happens in terms of what the Jets are 402 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: not only doing at that nickel spot, but on the 403 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: outside as well. And I mean just a couple of 404 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 1: things here. We're talking about receivers, well, Mary Cooper, Reese 405 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: and that. Like at midnight, basically he resigned with the 406 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. Robby Anderson still remains unsigned, so we'll see 407 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: what his market is like externally, and we'll see what 408 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: his market, you know, if he ends up back in 409 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: green and white. But I just wanted to focus on 410 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: the a f C East because all these new faces 411 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: between the Miami Dolphins bringing in Byron Jones, the Buffalo 412 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: Bills bring in Stefon Diggs, well, a very familiar face, 413 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: probably the most familiar face in the a f C East, 414 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: will no longer be reportedly no longer be in the division. 415 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: That of course, Tom Brady earlier today on Tuesday, said 416 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 1: he will not be resigning with the Patriots, will be 417 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: taking his football journey elsewhere, and all signs point to 418 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay and Adam Schefter and all the experts reported 419 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: that Tampa Bay is basically the front runner here for 420 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: Tom Brady to be his new home in South Florida, 421 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: which is I mean, it's just crazy to think about. 422 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 1: It feels like one of those days where everyone was like, 423 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, Tom, Tom mich go somewhere like he's 424 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: just gonna resign like this happens every year whatever. And 425 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 1: the fact that it's actually coming to fruition that he 426 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: will no longer be on the Patriots and we'll be 427 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: wearing Pewter and whatever their colors are. I can't even 428 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: think about it because my mind is just I can't 429 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: even picture him in a uniform there. Yeah, it's gonna 430 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: be weird to see think about it feels like Doomsday 431 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: is officially here. Oh god, easy, okay, especially where we're 432 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: at right now. Easy, I will say this, this is 433 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: this makes me think I just wanted to make sure 434 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: you guys were awake. All right, I'm always going This 435 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: makes me think of Indianapolis when we had Anthony beck 436 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: town Official Jets podcast and he said at the end, 437 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: I said, what do you think you know, Greens when 438 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: we had him out, and what do you think about 439 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: Brady said, I'm beginning to really think that he could 440 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: go elsewhere. Well, Anthony backed a former buccaneer. You know, 441 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what he was hereing in Indianapolis, but 442 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: uh yeah that could have happened. Brady. Um, you can 443 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: make the argument, and I don't think too many people 444 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: are going to fight you on it that perhaps the 445 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:21,719 Speaker 1: greatest quarterback of all time. Six super Bowls, thirty playoff wins, 446 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: fivet one touchdown passes for one team. He's the first 447 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: player in NFL history to switched teams after twenty seasons 448 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: with one team. And I'll always go back to September 449 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: September two thousand one Jets ten to three victory over 450 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:49,959 Speaker 1: the Patriots at Foxborough when uh Sean ellis Um and 451 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: company got to uh Drew Bledsoe and enters here comes 452 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: a skinny kid from Michigan. Tom Brady goes five at 453 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: ten for forty six yards, and twenty years later we're 454 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: talking five at times for forty six yards in the 455 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: Jets victory, and twenty years later, here we're talking about 456 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: perhaps the greatest ever. And yeah, it's gonna be odd. 457 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: It's gonna be odd that he's gonna be playing with 458 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: the different team. And in January Live, if I asked 459 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: you live, do you think Brady number one is going 460 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: to play for a different team next year? And number 461 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 1: two are you gonna be playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 462 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: What would you have told me, I would have told 463 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: you that you were crazy, honestly, because I'm not gonna lie. 464 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: I was shook when when he posted that on both 465 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: Twitter and Instagram and forming everybody that he was no 466 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: longer going to be a Patriot. I just it's crazy 467 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: to wrap your head around, as you know, a person 468 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: who is not a professional athlete to think, wow, it's crazy. 469 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: He spent twenty years with one organization. I don't know 470 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: how many other players or if there are other players 471 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: that have ever done that, but yeah, I was definitely 472 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: a little bit in shock, and like to your point, YEA, 473 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 1: to imagine him in any other team color, but let 474 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: alone Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that's crazy. I did see this 475 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: tweet um earlier and it said t B plus TV 476 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 1: in TV. So Tom Brady plus Tom Bowles in Tampa Bay, 477 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. Yeah, I'm gonna add another 478 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: be in there. You know. Uh, Antonio Brown had reported 479 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: or had told everybody that he's only playing if he 480 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: plays with Tom Brady. And not to speculate here, but 481 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown is from Florida. He lives in Florida. And oh, 482 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: by the way, Bruce Arians was his coach on the 483 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, not his head coach. Yeah, so there are 484 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: some ties there, and uh, you know, I wonder you know, 485 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: I don't want to speculate, but I just wonder if 486 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: if Tom and Antonio Brown had um. All right, you 487 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: are speculating. What do you think about? What it is? 488 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: What do you want the conspiracy theory? Brady? Take it easy? 489 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: What do you think about? Though? On a serious note, 490 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: and we're gonna joke about it a little bit here 491 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: in a second, we'll get back to some light moments. 492 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: Bruce Arians you know who I think is one of 493 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,959 Speaker 1: the top offensive minds in the game, bottom line, and 494 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: he's a tremendous guy and he's a good coach. Mike Evans, Uh, 495 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: you got Godwin there, o, J Howard, Cameron Braid and 496 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: then tb the former Jets head coach, Todd bowls Um 497 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: heading up that Tampa Bay defense. What do you think 498 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: overall about the Buccaneers? I'm not asking predictions two thousand 499 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: and twenty, but what do you think about what they 500 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: can do with Brady down there? I feel like I 501 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: feel like, on paper, you gotta why chout for the 502 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,959 Speaker 1: Buccaneers because if you when you look at what Jamis 503 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: did last year, he had a career year. Granted, he 504 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: was a part of the thirty thirty club, the thirty 505 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: touchdown thirty interception club, and Tom Brady between two thousand 506 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: sixteen to two thousand nineteen only had twenty nine interceptions 507 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: compared to jamis Is thirty just this past season. So 508 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: I feel like, I feel like Tom Brady's gonna love 509 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: it down there. I mean, He's gonna sling the rock 510 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: to Mike Evans, who's obviously one of the best receivers 511 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: in the game. And then Chris Godwin is one of 512 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: the best in the game just based on this past 513 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: year alone. And you know, Chris Godwin is probably gonna 514 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: have to change his number. I'd assume he's war number twelve, 515 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: a Penn st eighties number twelve for the Tampa Bay 516 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: Buccaneers currently. But and then how about this, I mean, 517 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: they have O. J. Howard and Cameron Bread And I 518 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: know that O. J. Howard didn't get used a lot 519 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: this past season, but just to have somebody that was 520 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: so productive and such a high draft pick, I feel like, 521 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, the offense will necessarily change 522 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: with Tom there. But we know how much Tom Brady 523 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: loved to throw the ball to Rob Gronkowski in his heyday. 524 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: So I wonder if the tight end will be a 525 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: little more utilized this next season in two on each twenty. 526 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: And I think on paper, you know, it looks pretty good. 527 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: They resigned Jason Pierre Paul yesterday. They franchise tag Shack Barrett, 528 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,959 Speaker 1: who led the NFL in sacks this past year. And 529 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: you know, I still think that they have some some 530 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: holes to fill if you're just going by on paper, 531 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: but I think that every team's gonna have holes. And no, 532 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: how about this Devin White, the rookie linebacker this past year. Yeah, 533 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: he had a pretty good year for being a rookie. 534 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: And I think that the arrow is definitely pointing up 535 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: for the Tampa Bay Bucks. And you know, put Tom 536 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: Brady there the Super Bowls in Tampa. Let's let's start 537 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: to speculating here. You know, there's definitely gonna be there's 538 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: a gonna be an article talking about Brady being the 539 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: first was whatever, that's what you're getting it from. Anyway, Hey, 540 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: when you think about jumping off your guys point also 541 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: when you think about it, uh, if he does sign 542 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: with the Buccaneers, He's also going to be facing every 543 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: single day in practice a Todd Bowls defense. And little reminder, 544 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: the Jets were, you know, number seven overall ranked defense 545 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: this past season, but they were number two against the run. 546 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: They came second to only Todd Bowls run defense. So 547 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: to think that they're going to have the Buccaneers are 548 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: already going to have a very solid defense. Now add 549 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: Tom Brady into the mix with some of the offensive 550 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: weapons that they have. UM big fan of Mike Evans 551 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: over here. He uha team right for a past few years. Yeah, 552 00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: I think could be a pretty pretty deadly on paper anyway, 553 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: no doubt. So let's let's bring this back the Jets 554 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: angle though live. What do you think not? Obviously this 555 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: is gonna have an impact on the Jets because the 556 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: Jets face the Patriots twice a year, and this is 557 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: a team which dominated the a FC East. You're talking 558 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: about I believe eighteen division titles over the last twenty years. 559 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: With that being set, do you think, uh, the Patriots 560 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: will have Jared Stidham start opening Day or you think 561 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: their starter starting quarterback is not currently on the roster. 562 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: You don't even gotta name names because there are guys 563 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: out there who people are talking about trade targets. So 564 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: we all know the various names. I just want to 565 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: know what you think. If you think that perhaps they 566 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: stick with Stidham and bring somebody else in and as 567 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: an insurance maybe to compete with them, or do you 568 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: think that Belichick has a guy in mine because you 569 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: know he's prepared for this. I think, and this is 570 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 1: just my personal opinion, I think they are going to 571 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: I think Belichick is going to bring in another guy. 572 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: I mean, when you think about some of the quarterbacks 573 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:22,359 Speaker 1: that are out there still, what if possibly I don't 574 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: know if schematically it would work, but what if Cam 575 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 1: Newton came to the Patriots. I mean that could be 576 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: something very interesting. Wow. Yes, and today it was granted 577 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,839 Speaker 1: what permission that the secret trade And I know there 578 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: was a little bit of back and forth that we 579 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: don't have to get into, but everybody knows what we're 580 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,320 Speaker 1: talking about. Yeah, And when you think about Jared Stidham, 581 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,919 Speaker 1: the first time the Jets kind of went up against him, 582 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams had a pick six. So yeah, I'm not 583 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: gonna say I'm you know, I'm just bring that up 584 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: the I want to throw it, Okay, I want to 585 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: throw in an interesting wrinkle here. Jamis Winston a restricted 586 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: free agent. Yeah, well, actually what I wanted to I 587 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 1: think an interesting potential ripple effect could be what happens 588 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: with Jucoby Brissette in Indianapolis and if he ends up 589 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: getting cut because of salary cap reasons or whatever it is, 590 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: because Philip Rivers reportedly is going to join the Colts, 591 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 1: does Jacoby Brissette go back to New England and compete 592 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,720 Speaker 1: with Jared Stidham for the starting job. And Jared Stidham 593 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: won the backup job in New England this past season. 594 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: It wasn't like he was just you know, they drafted 595 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: Jared Sidham and he was the number two from the 596 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 1: day he was drafted. He I'm pretty sure he won 597 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: that job. Um. And so therefore I think that the 598 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 1: Patriots do have some saw some amount of confidence in him. 599 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: I just don't know to what extent or and none 600 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,800 Speaker 1: of us do really. I don't think anyone does because 601 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: he hasn't been thrown the keys. But I will say 602 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: if you look back to when Tom Brady first was 603 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 1: given the keys to the offense, no one thought that 604 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: the one nine overall pick was gonna do what he did. 605 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: And I think that the history that Bill Belichick being 606 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: comfortable with a young kid under center leading his team, 607 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 1: I don't I can't rule it out that Jared's did 608 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 1: him would not be that guy moving forward here. You know, 609 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:27,720 Speaker 1: I cam Newton and Annie to couldn't be a potential 610 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,919 Speaker 1: trade target. I know a lot of people have talked 611 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: about that. Jacoby Bersatt Greens. You brought him up, Jamis 612 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 1: Winston on restrict to free agent. Um. Uh. It is 613 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,840 Speaker 1: going to be fascinating for the Jets next year to 614 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 1: be facing a new England Patriots team without Tom Brady. 615 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: I know he's forty three years old, but we talked 616 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: about the Buccaneers a little bit before, and you said 617 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 1: the thirty thirty club. That's one thing that Brady always 618 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 1: did for the Patriots. He protected the football, and that's 619 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: something that Bill Belichi is stressed throughout his Hall of 620 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 1: Fame career. So whoever is under center is going to 621 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 1: be required to hold on to the football, protect the football, 622 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: you know. Um, Before we wrap things up here, I 623 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: just want to I want to focus a little bit 624 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,359 Speaker 1: more on the look ahead as supposed to look back. 625 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,800 Speaker 1: And one other thing before we continue on Teddy Bridgewater 626 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: supposedly no news Carolina Panther. Congratulations to Teddy. I mean 627 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: he had a short stint with the Jets of course, 628 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: uh summer in a preseason before he was traded to 629 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,879 Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. And he reunites with Joe Brady, 630 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panther offensive coordinator who spent some time in 631 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: New Orleans before joining the l s U Tigers for 632 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: a season. And of course they won the National championship. Whatever. 633 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 1: But moving forward, you know, one thing that I find 634 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: interesting is there still some very big names left on 635 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,959 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball in terms of free agent. 636 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: And I mean Robert Quinn reportedly went to the Chicago 637 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: Bears today, but Jeneveon Clowney is still out there, Dante 638 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 1: Fowler still out there, and then when you look at 639 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: the cornerbacks, Chris Harris is still out there, and Trey 640 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: Wayne's got a big deal today. But if the Jets want, 641 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: you know, I and I know that we talked about 642 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: Joe Douglas finding value guys to sign in free agency. 643 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: But if he decided, for whatever reason that he wanted 644 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: to address pass rusher or cornerback and go for a 645 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,920 Speaker 1: top tier free agent. There are still some very good 646 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: players left out there, and even if the Jets don't 647 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 1: get those guys, I'm very curious to see where they 648 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 1: end up overall. Oh, I agree, Listen, the league here's 649 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: that starting until Wednesday at four pm. I mean, I 650 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: guess some people could be listening to us around four 651 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: o'clock Wednesday or whatever, But the league, you're truly doesn't start, 652 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: um until four pm. That's when players can officially sign 653 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,080 Speaker 1: their contracts. But oh yeah, free agent is gonna go 654 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: on and on, and you have multiple tiers and multiple waves. 655 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 1: There are a lot of good players out there. Um. 656 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: The trick is, if you're going to sign somebody who 657 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:19,360 Speaker 1: is thirty plus, what role and I'm not talking about money, 658 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 1: I'm talking about age, is what role are they going 659 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:29,439 Speaker 1: to play for you? Because typically the cautionary talent free 660 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 1: agency is you want to find a guy who is 661 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: still an ascending player, who you believe by and large, 662 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 1: unless you're in a certain place, your organization, your team 663 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 1: is at a certain place and you need a piece here, 664 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 1: a piece there. You want to find ascending talents because um, 665 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: and that's where the Jets are at right now too. Yeah, 666 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,320 Speaker 1: you could they get a couple of guys thirty plus 667 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: in here. They could, But when you look at what 668 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,440 Speaker 1: they've done here early in free agency, when we talk 669 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 1: about the offensive line, all three of those guys there 670 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 1: in their twenties. You could say Fan is a guy 671 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:15,839 Speaker 1: with a very interesting ceiling, who is a tremendous athlete 672 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 1: who maybe they can take him to the next level. 673 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 1: McGovern is what six years old who's been a two 674 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 1: year starter at center, so you have to think his 675 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 1: best football is ahead of them. And likewise, Alex Lewis 676 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 1: is a young guy as well. So I'm looking at 677 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: the guys in the in the twenties and can you 678 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,920 Speaker 1: bring them into your system and develop them? Because everybody 679 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,840 Speaker 1: thinks of players sometimes it's finished products. But what roles 680 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,400 Speaker 1: are they playing for you in your system? And remember 681 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 1: what the c b A really emphasized to me. Everyone 682 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,720 Speaker 1: was at sixties sixty of the players in the National 683 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 1: Football League are your men, mom salary guys. So you're 684 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 1: gonna have to fill out the roster as well. Yeah, 685 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: that's a great point. I do have a question. So 686 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 1: I know that the official league gear starts tomorrow at 687 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 1: four pm, as in Wednesday, March four pm Eastern time. 688 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 1: But what you know with these new rules as far 689 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 1: as the coronavirus goes and how it's going to affect signings, 690 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 1: aren't some teams basically being given the right to decide 691 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: to not sign a guy until they have completed that 692 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: physical because a guy can technically still decline doing a 693 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 1: physical that them and the team are trying to agree on. 694 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,879 Speaker 1: So if a guy doesn't get the physical, can they 695 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:46,279 Speaker 1: still choose to not sign a player. I'm not sure 696 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:50,839 Speaker 1: on the exact nature of the literature. Obviously this is 697 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: like uncharted waters, and but I did see to your point. 698 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: I did see that, let's say, theoretically a free agent 699 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,240 Speaker 1: is across the con tree or in a different state, 700 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 1: the player and the team can agree on a neutral 701 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 1: physician to conduct a physical. But I did see that 702 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,799 Speaker 1: the player had the option to decline. So, I mean, 703 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,359 Speaker 1: we've talked about this before, Like, how do you how 704 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,560 Speaker 1: I don't know how a team signs off on paying 705 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: somebody lucrative contract without that player taking physical. And you know, 706 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm very curious to see how it all 707 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,239 Speaker 1: plays out and yeah, I think it's just one day 708 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:33,919 Speaker 1: at a time. Maybe it's one of those things where 709 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 1: teams just agree to terms and then once this whole 710 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,759 Speaker 1: thing kind of blows over to a point where you 711 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 1: can travel safely, or you know, you think you can 712 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 1: travel safely, then you go to the facility, you take 713 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 1: a physical, and then everything becomes official at a later date. 714 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,959 Speaker 1: Short answer, I have no idea. I think I think 715 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,800 Speaker 1: I think where all right now? Is that third party 716 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna you know, it's unsettling. It's probably probably unsettling 717 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 1: for every team in the National Football League. It's it's 718 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 1: not the way um any team would want it. But 719 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 1: given the current situation, I think the league and the 720 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,840 Speaker 1: players Association are trying to make the best out of 721 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:21,320 Speaker 1: a tough situation. Bottom line, Yeah, absolutely, I think tomorrow 722 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:26,239 Speaker 1: is really going to go down as a very interesting day, 723 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,919 Speaker 1: to say the least. I think we'll, yeah, we'll find 724 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,760 Speaker 1: out a lot of stuff. Maybe we weren't expecting. Who knows. 725 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,400 Speaker 1: Tom Pealicero just tweeted he says don't expect a flood 726 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,960 Speaker 1: of official signing announcement at four pm tomorrow. The memos 727 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 1: says teams may not announce a player has agreed to 728 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:49,360 Speaker 1: terms pending a physical only if they have executed a 729 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: contract with the players. So obviously this is a lot 730 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 1: of way to see right now. But but that doesn't 731 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,880 Speaker 1: mean that there's not a lot of free agent juice, 732 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,600 Speaker 1: because it's not only it hasn't even been forty eight hours, 733 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,720 Speaker 1: and we're talking about a lot of top tier talent 734 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,479 Speaker 1: that has, you know, reportedly agreed in terms of different teams. 735 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,480 Speaker 1: So I expect more of that to trickle out tomorrow, 736 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:16,239 Speaker 1: but nothing official. Yeah, Greens and Live, it's for me, 737 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,480 Speaker 1: it's gonna be the domino game. You talked about some 738 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 1: of those defensive talents on the edge, So let's just 739 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 1: say a Clowney goes first and does that kind of 740 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,919 Speaker 1: set the market where teams start and then they start 741 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,800 Speaker 1: moving in that direction. Likewise, there's a lot of cornerback 742 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,919 Speaker 1: names out there, A lot of cornerbacks out there. I mean, 743 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 1: we talked about Bradbury Jones going early, no doubt, but 744 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 1: there's still a lot of uh prominent names on the market. 745 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 1: And then I go back to the receiver position. Yet 746 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 1: Marie Cooper got the deal, the five year or one 747 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 1: a hundred million dollar deal. I think it was reported, 748 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:58,280 Speaker 1: but uh, Robbie Anderson still floating about Brushard Perryman door set, 749 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 1: Manuel say it. There's the markets, Robinson. I know there's 750 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,359 Speaker 1: a lot of Dave's still out there. There's a lot 751 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 1: of ball left to be played. So just wrapping things up. 752 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,959 Speaker 1: That was the tip of the iceberg. And so many 753 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,400 Speaker 1: moves have been made over the past, you know, thirty 754 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,279 Speaker 1: six hours. So many more moves will be made, especially 755 00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 1: when you consider the middle class of each team, and 756 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,319 Speaker 1: I think the Jets, to your point, are gonna look 757 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,600 Speaker 1: to fill out a lot of the middle class moving forward, 758 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 1: considering the way that Joe Douglas has started his free 759 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,320 Speaker 1: agency with Connor McGovern, who, to the e S point, 760 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,920 Speaker 1: is turning twenty seven in late April, Alex Lewis re 761 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,600 Speaker 1: signed or agreed to terms he will turn twenty eight 762 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 1: in late April. And then George Fant who agreed to 763 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:46,279 Speaker 1: terms with the Jets reportedly yesterday. He's twenty seven years old. 764 00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,400 Speaker 1: So the first three moves for Joe Douglas and his 765 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 1: first free agency as general manager of the New York 766 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,960 Speaker 1: Jets to surprise nobody. Three offensive linemen and will monitor 767 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,400 Speaker 1: this each day as we move forward. So if anything 768 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 1: happens past the ninety hour here, it's not our fault. 769 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 1: We'll cover it tomorrow. And thanks for listening to the 770 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,920 Speaker 1: Official Jets Podcast powered by a W S E A Lives. 771 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 1: Stay safe and keep washing those hands out, Oh yeah, 772 00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 1: no doubt
