WEBVTT - Brian Baldinger's Takeaways from Jets Training Camp (8/1) 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:07.800 All right, it's always a camp treat. When Brian Baldinger 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:10.080 comes here to one jet's drive. I got some news 0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:11.719 to report right off the bat here. 0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:12.280 Uh. 0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:16.520 Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, he's a great football player. 0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:18.599 He's a great player, you know, and I'm you know, 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:22.040 just marveling out there today. Uh. He's not just great, 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.119 but he's entertaining, like because you know, you're in this 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:28.600 business and you see all kinds of levels of play 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:31.479 at all positions. But like the way that he still 0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:36.239 throws the football, the timing, the spin, the release, like 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:38.559 it's all there like you can't help it. And you 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:41.680 know that connection that he has and is growing with 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.880 Garrett Wilson is I mean, it's it's special. It's special. 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:46.920 You could tell you watch it today, Like just the 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:49.880 adjustment to these throws. It was fun to watch. 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:53.160 You had an opportunity to visit with him after practices, 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:56.040 you and Judy Batista from NFL Network. Of course we 0:00:56.120 --> 0:01:00.520 love Judy, yep. What were your impressions of where Aaron's 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:01.120 at right now? 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.760 I think he's first of all, he's so thoughtful. I mean, honestly, 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:07.959 people can have whatever opinion they want about anybody, but 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.759 when you sit down and talk football with Aaron Rodgers. 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.399 There's no cliche answers. There's no just you know, let's 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.880 get through this. Like he literally thinks about every question 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.600 and then his answers are so thoughtful, you know, and 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:27.640 there's one thing after another where you know, just in 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.120 a second year here of what they need to do 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.880 as a team and what can happen here and how 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.800 players why they can come together, and how they can 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.000 come together, and the new additions in the offensive line. 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:40.600 He knows every aspect of this. 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.840 The greatest players who've ever played this game enjoy the 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:46.000 grind the most, don't they. 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.440 Yeah, they do. In fact, Aaron was talking about, you know, 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.080 coming into this league and two thousand and five whatever, 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.480 and what practices were like back then. Yeah, the two days, 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.360 the contact, you know, you don't get that now, and 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:01.160 so guys like Aaron who's had to adjust, okay, is 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.400 every rep's important. You know, you don't get that chance 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.800 where you have an off day, you know, but you know, 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.120 we'll be back at the grind tomorrow. You don't. You 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.400 don't get that. There'll be in full pads on Monday. 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:14.799 And he's thankful that he gets a day off tomorrow. 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.480 But you know, for the most part, like he wanted 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:21.160 every rep out there to really he says he still 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:26.480 needs to refine his gain. Practice is important, the reps 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:31.160 are important, and he's still working on little things, subtle 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.720 things that maybe somebody else doesn't notice. But even like today, 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.760 you know, obviously we asked him about you know, the 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.400 Achilles and coming back, and you know, at the start 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.160 of camp he said he was five percent away. And 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.919 then he said, there was a play today that happened 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.360 where there was quick pressure up the middle and it 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.639 forced him out of the pocket and he was flushed 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.120 to his right right and he had to get on 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.560 the horse. He had to like explode and move to 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.600 make a throw over the middle. And he said that 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.720 felt Goodah, felt good today, you know, like that movement 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.280 that I need to have when things do break down. 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:02.680 I got to be able to do that. 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:08.360 How impressive is the arm? Still at forty this is 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.559 his twentieth NFL year. He doesn't seem like he's lost 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:13.800 anything off the fastball. 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.440 No, And you can't say that, you know, we we 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.120 saw you know, Brett Favre lose his We saw Peyton 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.840 Manning lose his not everybody. We saw Drew Brees lose 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:26.440 his You can't say this stage, after four practice that 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.000 anything is different from the way Aaron throws a ball. 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:33.720 It's still magical that the placement to touch. You saw 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.560 the play, you know, down the goal line the two 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.920 minute drill, so you know he got the call for interference. 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.440 So he got a second shot at the one yard 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.680 line and he stuck that ball to Alan Lazard off 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.000 a little play action. But the only way you make 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.800 that throw is you got to stick it like you 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.480 can't take it. Like it's got to hit Blazard right 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:56.480 in the chest and it did over everywhere. You know, 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.360 it's got to be it's got to be really fast, 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.600 and you know, just so there's different types of throws, 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:04.480 but that throw, you just see it, and you know 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:06.800 the only way they score is if that ball just 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:07.720 gets there that fast. 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.600 Every time I see pressure, I'm like, defense is gonna 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.760 be in trouble on this one because he sees it's 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.760 coming and he knows exactly where the weakness is in 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:16.400 your coverage. 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.640 Yeah, now he sees, he sees all eleven, he sees 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:23.400 the sideline, he sees the substitutions. He you know, he 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:29.120 knows like, look the game. He knows the game. He 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.080 knows the game inside out. He knows how to get 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.640 the You know, I guess here's an old saying. Yeah, 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.279 I love this saying, but it applies to Aaron. You 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.440 know the problem with experiences is that by the time 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.440 you get enough of it, you're too old to enjoy it. 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.919 And I feel like with Aaron, all that experience, he 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.479 can still enjoy it. He can still use it to 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:52.280 his advantage whenever he can see the opportunity for an advantage. 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.120 So what I see is the opportunity for the Jets 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:59.600 to have complementary pieces. For a while now, we've been 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:03.920 watching this team have very solid defense paired with special teams, 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:08.960 while offensively scuffled due to injuries. We go to it 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.719 last year and the number of quarterbacks you played in 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:15.520 the different line combinations. But now you watch them and 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:19.640 I know they're in shorts, but you wonder, what is 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:23.039 the potential of this offense? And when is the last 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:24.560 time we've said that about the Jets. 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:26.640 Well, a couple of things. One and the tern pointed 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.520 us out, like, Okay, you bring in Tyron, you bring 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.160 in Mortgage, you bring in John Simpson, but a lot 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:33.800 of guys got a lot of reps last year. Carter 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:38.160 Warren played, you know, Wes Weitzer played, you know, you 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.760 know the Max Mitchell played. I mean, you got a 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.600 lot of guys that got a lot of experience last year, 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.720 and so now you know if something would and you 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.919 draft Olu, right, so now something happens, you feel like 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.400 you've got depth to hold up. And guys that are 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.800 in the system, been in the system, know the offense. 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.719 So that's that's a positive. But the thing that really 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.600 jumped out was he said, you know, Baldi, sometimes when 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.360 you're in shorts, the run game sort of suffers. It's 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.120 kind of hard to see holes. Defense has the advantage. 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.440 He said, Breece Hole has been saying like, this looks different. 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.360 I can see movement, I see holes, I know where 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:17.000 they're at, you know. And so Breece, I feel like 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.200 is going to benefit when you talk about this offense, 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.400 I feel like this season, I know it's his third year, 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.599 but I think this can be one of those years 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.159 that you just you know, you put it up there 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.560 at or near the top of the record books. 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.560 Wow. And he had more than fifteen hundred yards from Scribbler. 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.760 He was second to Christian McCaffrey and total yards last year. Yeah, 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.880 behind a broken line and quarterbacks that through a grand 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:45.239 total eleven touchdowns like this, this could be really special. 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.719 The roster was pretty good last year, but that's what 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:54.000 Aaron has emphasized, that we're better up front, and that's 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:55.920 just changed his entire dynamic. 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:57.760 Well, I mean, look, if you want to look at 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.000 the best teams in this league, the teams that are 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.920 are in playing in the divisional round, playing in the 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.960 you know, semi finals, like you just look at their 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.359 offensive lines and look at how they play. And you 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.160 look at Detroit's offensive line right now, you look at 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:16.240 Kansas City's offensive line, you know, San Francisco when Trent's 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:19.800 in there like there. You can talk about the quarterbacks 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.000 all you want in all those places they had great seasons, 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.640 but it starts upfront. And it always does. When when 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.080 Kansas City got whipped by Tampa and the Super Bowl, 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.160 they went out and drafted Creede Humphrey and Trey Smith 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.640 and these guys have played nearly every snap since and 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.840 they fixed their line in one off season, and Mahomes 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:36.760 has benefited from it. 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.840 What's gonna change when these guys get pads on. I mean, 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:43.960 we might be running this podcast, you might be listening 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.040 to it, washing it while the pads are on. But 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:51.440 we just got through the acclamation period. Now what changes, well. 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:55.400 What changes is the intensity. No, Like, look, when you're 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.760 in shorts and shoulder pads, if you're walking through, there's 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.880 a tant to see to just mentally lighten up a 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.880 little bit. When the pads go on and the pop 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.720 and you can hear the popping that the intensity goes up, 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.840 the competition goes up. The one on ones now, the 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.640 one on ones offensive and defensive line. You know, is 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:18.080 Jermaine Johnson winning, Is Tyron Smith winning? Like you're trying 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.680 to win the rep. Now. It's not life or death, 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:24.480 but it changes your the contact of the game. You 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.400 hear the contact. You know, Quincy and CJ get to 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.600 unload got you know, throws over the middle all of 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.559 a sudden aren't gonna be so easy. So like you 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.120 want to you want to practice safely, but at the 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.679 same time, mentally, you step on the field and you're 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.600 in full pads, you're like, okay, like I gotta bring 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.280 my a game right here. I gotta be on today. 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:48.360 We saw today Jermaine Johnson and John Simpsons exchanging pleasantries 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.880 after a play. Think little cooler heads prevailed. I want 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:55.920 to ask about Javon Kinlaw. I was amazed the other 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.600 day after practice when these guys were walking off the field. 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.839 How big of a do dude? This is former first 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.199 round pick. That means he has loads of potential. Robert 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.240 Salad knows it better than anybody. He coached him up 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:11.560 in twenty twenty. You think, if your kin Law, you're 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:16.000 looking at this is this is my second chance, a 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:17.600 chance at a career breakthrough. 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:18.280 It's a fresh start. 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:18.520 Yeah. 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:20.200 I mean, look, his first two years in this league, 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:21.880 he was injured a lot, didn't you know, miss a 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.440 lot of games, missed a lot of time, had you know, 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:28.360 a variety of injuries. He looks healthy, he is, he's 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:32.559 a specimen. I feel like this is a chance he had. Look, 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:37.520 they have a great defensive front in San Francisco. They 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:39.800 put a lot of resources into it. But this is 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:43.960 a chance for him to get more snaps, more meaningful snaps. 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.520 And look, if he's going in there for Quinn Williams 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.920 and quinnin needs a blow, you don't want to be 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.360 that guy where the big plays happen, Like there's peer 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:57.160 pressure that if you're in that second wave of you know, 0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:59.600 second wave of guys up there, and they might be 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:03.600 mass substitutions, resting your starters what you have to do 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.440 to get through a seventeen game season. So time a 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.000 chance for Javon to like more than just be a 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.199 power pusher, and he's got to become a better passer 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:12.679 rusher and he's got that chance. 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:17.160 Jermine Johnson talked about it the other day, said Tyrone 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.839 Smith is the best pass protector in football. With that 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:23.040 being said, how much does that help a guy like 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.080 him and whomever is out there on the edge going 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:27.080 against that guy. 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.880 Well, I mean the first thing is, you know, Tyrone 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.560 is a pro and you just watch him after practice 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.360 work on his craft, like the game is highly highly important. 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.560 Jermaine's gonna go against one of the best, Uh, you know, 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.679 not to not to say that Pina or Lane or 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:47.600 Trent isn't the best. He's going up against the best. 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.120 That practice is hard every day and you know, and 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.800 so you go against the best, you got to bring 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:57.240 your best. And just talking to Jermaine during practice today, EA, 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:01.079 I feel like his approach is the best approach he's 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.640 going to have. I think he's studied the game. I 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.160 think you'll see him in a lot more two point stands, 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.640 like the way Von Miller rushes when you're kind of 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.319 rolling off your foot. If you're waiting on the ball 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:16.199 to move to win the rep, you might be too 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.720 late because these tackles are leaving early. So you better 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:20.960 be watching the foot. You better be watching the knee 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:24.120 of the offensive tackle, like that's gonna be your indicator. Yeah, 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.800 I think because he's getting bigger and stronger, I think 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.280 some of these guys getting off like you might see 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.480 more speed to power from him. But I think you're 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.000 going to see the very best of Jermaine And it 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:38.600 will actually shock me if he doesn't play at a 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:42.200 Pro Bowl level, because the talent is there and the 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.400 system is there to be a Pro Bowl player. 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:46.640 John Franklin Moiers, he's in done for He was a 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.560 valuable piece of the defensive line. He's a guy who 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:57.160 couldnage and then dip inside. You think Jermaine possibly could 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.720 do that. He talked about the other day that hey, 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.160 I'm willing to do anything these guys want me to. 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:05.600 Another guy who caught my eye today just looking at him. 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:10.440 Michael clembs Clements has definitely lost some weight. Yeah, his 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:12.319 body looks a little bit transformed. 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.240 Well, he had to be. He had to be quicker 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.400 off the edge. He's a guy that could play inside 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.679 and outside. He's mostly been on the edge. But this 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.240 is his third year signed for Michael to like prove 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.480 that he belongs in his business. You know, we all 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:26.560 raved about him when he first came and his work 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.400 ethic and how hard he played the series approach to 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.839 the game. But you know it's it's about production now 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.760 and there's gonna be an opportunity for the second wave 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.080 of guys to come in and get reps, meaningful reps. 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:41.480 But I can see Jermaine. Look, you're looking for matchups 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:43.640 in this thing. Yeah, and so Quinn is going to 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.600 draw double teams. You leave quinnin one on one in 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:47.640 this business, you put him on a center one on one. 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:49.360 It's not a center. He's not going to be. I 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.000 don't care where and who it's against. So you better 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:56.560 give Quinn that type of attention. And so the guy 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.720 opposite him, whether he's out at end or on the 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.760 other at defensive tackle, that guy's going to get a 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:04.880 chance to get a one on one and a lot 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:08.520 of pass protection schemes, and so you know you want 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:09.400 to be able to win those. 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.160 I think Hassan Raddick can fit in any defense. He's 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:16.600 so talented. Specifically, what do you think about the fit here? 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:19.400 I think it's an awesome fit. I mean if you 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:22.760 look at Hassan and Jermaine and you know whether it's 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.120 Lecky or whether it's kin Law and quinnin, I mean, 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:31.000 that's that's four dudes up front. Like Hassan. Look, he 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:34.120 broke his thumber wrist earlier season. Last year he was 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.280 playing with the cast on. I mean he had nineteen 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.480 and a half sacks a year before. Like he was 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.480 like he was a quarterback killer, you know. And he's 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:46.640 got such quickness and change the direction. He could rush 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:50.440 from anywhere. He's excellent coming off stunts. That's why getting 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:55.080 him in here is really important because those stunts aren't 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.240 you like you just don't show up and run. These 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:02.280 stunts are based off timing, like the drive. There's different 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.760 things to look for. You've got to build timing with 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:05.719 the guys next to you. 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.120 So that goes under the radar. As far as storyline, 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.480 way under the radar, Yeah, because there are changes up 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:15.640 front and you do have talented pieces, but oftentimes you're 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:16.439 working together. 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:20.240 Well, sometimes you don't even call a stunt. Sometimes you 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.600 fall into a stunt. You know, if Asan takes an 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:27.200 inside rush and he's getting penetration, but there's nobody out 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:30.600 there setting the edge, your defense tackle might just see 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.400 that and play off them. So he might just go, Okay, 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.360 we gotta have somebody if Josh Allen gets out like 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.640 it's containing him and so they might not be you know, 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:43.080 an exit call and then tackle game like that might 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:46.960 be something that that tackle's got to just realize and 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:50.280 fall into. And so there's a lot of you know, 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.560 there's a lot of communication that has to take place. 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.680 It starts in meeting rooms, going through tapes. It's out 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.520 there on the practice fields and walkthroughs. It's certainly in 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:03.120 the scrim in the games. These these things are really 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:04.080 really valuable. 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.920 If you had any question marks about the Jets right now, 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:08.680 what would it be. 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.760 Well, I mean it's every every team, but you know, 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.720 there's there's an injury history here with certain players, and 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:19.280 so the injury thing outside of that, I feel like 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.280 the team is very complete. You know, we need Hassani 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.160 in here. We need Michael Williams to keep getting closer 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.920 and closer and closer to getting out here. Yep, you know, 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.400 and you can't push that, like I saw him running today, 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.560 like he still needs some time, but you know, you 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.000 want to try to get as many healthy bodies as 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:39.600 much practice time and prep time going into week one? 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.560 Right now, what were your thoughts on to his new 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:46.560 contracts and you just talked to Aaron Rodgers about Jordan Love, 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.600 Jordan Jordan Love celebrating a new deal. 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.720 Well, here's the thing, and you know it's it's great, 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:54.640 I mean because honestly, the fraternity of players are always 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:58.280 pulling for other players, because honestly, Aaron Rodgers set the 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.520 bar at one point in his career, you know. And 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:04.200 now you know Joe Burrow, you know Lamar Jalen Hurts 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.400 like now Tua, you know Joe. You know, so all 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.920 these guys are just feeding off the other guys, you know. 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.600 But the fact is, if you don't have that guy, 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.880 you can't compete. And so you look at Jordan Love, 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:18.680 God bless him, like nobody knew that he could do 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:20.720 what he did until he did it, and now you 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.560 feel like Green Bay's in good shape. And the fact is, 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:27.440 and now Tua got his. So we got some young guys. 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:29.840 I mean, these guys aren't twenty five years old and 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.800 they're getting their second contracts and their teams are being 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.960 led by them. But from a league standpoint, we can't 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.880 have enough great young quarterbacks. It's a quarterback driven league. 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:43.480 The ratings are driven by it, the games are driven 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:47.120 by it, every aspect. Fantasy football fans, you get great 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.560 quarterback play, you're going to get a great game. 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:52.680 Do you like what you see in the AFC at 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.400 the quarterback position? We can go up and down the list. 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:59.200 He talked about Josh Allen before Aaron Rodgers inside his division. 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:01.760 I think I think most people would make the argument 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:05.360 that too is not elite, but he certainly had success. 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.320 Then you go to a f C North, you got 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.639 Joe Burrow coming back. You got Sean Watson, he's got 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:14.240 a chip on his shoulder in Baltimore, you got a 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:17.840 two time NFL MVP and Lamar Jackson. We can continue 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:19.680 last year. 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:21.520 I mean, oh, look, it starts with Mahomes. 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.120 Okay, you know, but you know Lamar I was gonna 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:24.399 get there. 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:28.439 Yeah, I mean, you know it starts with Mahomes. But look, 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:30.879 Justin Herbert probably gonna get the best out of Justin 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:35.000 Herbert with with you know, Jim Harball out there, Lamar 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:38.240 is set. Like the Baltimore Ravens last year led the 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.520 league in play action passing, Okay, I mean it's the 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.680 threat of their run game gets their deep passing game going. 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:48.440 They've got some very good skilled people. Now Derek Henry's there, 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:53.200 I'll see Joe Burrow tomorrow, you know. And look, Jamar 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.399 Chase came out and said last year when Joe was injured, 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:59.480 he said, quote, I'm open. I'm always bleeping open. Like 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:03.280 the quarterback receiver combinations are dangerous, and you go up 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:05.520 and down the roster of these teams right now in 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.080 the AFC, Josh Allen will like, we know his talent, 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:12.120 We'll see what the receivers emerge to. It probably has 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:14.560 as much speed on his side of the ball as 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:16.200 any team that's ever played the game. 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:17.480 Yeah saying something. 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:21.800 Yeah, you know Devanna Chain and Mostard and Tyreek and Wata. 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:24.320 I mean, it's it's scary how much speed they have. 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:28.880 And so look it's it's uh, only seven can make 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:31.800 it from the AFC. It's gonna be highly highly competitive. 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:36.800 Where are your camp tours taking you of this? 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:37.760 I'm gonna yeah. 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:39.520 So you said you're going to Cincinnati and wall where else. 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:43.600 I'm gonna be in Cincinnati. I'm gonna be in Tampa, Jacksonville, Atlanta. 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:45.600 I'll be at the Hall of Fame game. I'll be 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.879 with the Giants. I'll be with h Buffalo. I'll be 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:53.440 in Cleveland for Houston Cleveland scrimmage. I'll be in Philly, uh, 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:55.960 and then I'm going out west. I'll be here for 0:18:56.080 --> 0:19:00.240 your scrimmage with Washington on August eighth. I'll be out 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.800 West doing stuff at our NFL network in Los Angeles. 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.440 So I hope to see the Chargers and the Rams. 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:07.399 The Raiders are out there, so I hope to see them. 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:11.040 When I'm out there, I should see over half the league. 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.600 You love football? How much do you enjoy this time 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:15.760 of the year, particularly? 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:18.200 You know, I love this time of the league the year. 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:19.720 I mean, I get a chance to go talk to 0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:22.680 Jermaine Johnson. Today, I get a chance to spend time 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:26.240 with Tyrone Smith. We sat down with Aaron Rodgers. It's 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:29.080 great to build one on one relationships, especially with the 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:31.760 young guys like I talked to Garrett Wilson today and 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:34.280 you know, Sean Jefferson's you know, is back here. He's 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:38.200 a great receiver coach. So I feel like this time 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:40.439 of the year to go see some of the veteran players, 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:42.680 but meet the young guys like I met Olu today 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:44.720 for the first time, you know, so you know, you know, 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:46.600 I've done the breakdowns on him and he knows who 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:48.600 I am. But it's good to, you know, face to 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:50.879 face to see him out there work with Morgan and 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:53.320 Tyrone after practice, Like some of the stuff is just 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:56.960 cool to me. And so I really treasure the time 0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.600 I get to spend with some of the coaches. I 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:01.480
