Speaker 1: We're presented by win Bett. Betty is a team's four
Speaker 1: bet together at win Bet. We are back at one.
Speaker 1: Jets drive inside the studio. Anthony back up from Florida.
Speaker 1: I think Eric Coleman over the bridge from Long Island. Correct.
Speaker 1: Good to see if fo Good to be back on. Man,
Speaker 1: it's been uh, I guess a quick off season for
Speaker 1: us back into it. It's already draft is crazy. Man,
Speaker 1: It's exciting. No, it's exciting time for this organization and
Speaker 1: what they can do. So exciting times for the Jets.
Speaker 1: But I have to ask you, maybe since he lived
Speaker 1: down in Tampa, what the heck was going on down there?
Speaker 1: Brady retires, then he decides he's gonna come back, and
Speaker 1: then Bruce arians retires and former Jets head coach Todd
Speaker 1: Bowls takes over. Yeah, I'm happy for Todd. Obviously I'm
Speaker 1: a big Bowls fan. You know, Look, I think Brady
Speaker 1: probably you know, it wasn't the most ceremonial exit. Initially
Speaker 1: with the leaks and all that stuff. I kind of
Speaker 1: like felt like I was like, you know, oh, he's
Speaker 1: done playing, but yet you know, somebody was saying it
Speaker 1: besides Tom Brady. Um, look, he had to make a
Speaker 1: decision if he was gonna come back, whatever that process was,
Speaker 1: I think, listen, you know you were driven to win
Speaker 1: the Bucks give you a really good chance. With the
Speaker 1: players that they have in place, I think they'd have
Speaker 1: been a nice job of accumulating a town around them,
Speaker 1: and um, he had to make the decision early on.
Speaker 1: I wasn't shocked that he said he wasn't coming back.
Speaker 1: I was just shocked in the fact that, you know,
Speaker 1: there's still some something there at the end of the
Speaker 1: rainbow for him to go through a season. I think
Speaker 1: the one thing that maybe crossed his mind when he
Speaker 1: decided to initially retire was, you know, God windn't getting hurt,
Speaker 1: which was his main target outside of Mike Evans and
Speaker 1: then Antonio Brown going a wall here in New York
Speaker 1: and not having those guys. And Brady was healthy, got
Speaker 1: through the season, he was playing well, but he just
Speaker 1: maybe felt like, you know what, I could do all
Speaker 1: those things perfect for me, but I can't control some
Speaker 1: of these other things that happened during a season. And
Speaker 1: that's a until grind, like to think like I was
Speaker 1: in perfect shape the whole year, but yet other things
Speaker 1: made us not get to where we wanted to go,
Speaker 1: and they almost got there without them. But still if
Speaker 1: you had those pieces in place, I think they were
Speaker 1: the favorite leading into it. And no surprise at all,
Speaker 1: right that Brady's back. Did he have kind of feel?
Speaker 1: You know what? I actually initially was like, Oh, this
Speaker 1: is the time where he's going to step away spend
Speaker 1: time with his family. Because you know, if you know
Speaker 1: anything about Tom Brady, you know that once it's the season,
Speaker 1: he's all in on the season. You know, the family, friends,
Speaker 1: all that stuff kind of gets put on the back
Speaker 1: burner and he focuses on his craft. And I, you know,
Speaker 1: I thought that maybe this was the time for him
Speaker 1: to step back and enjoy his family, enjoy that that
Speaker 1: that family time. But when when they said he's coming back,
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, So the key here for the
Speaker 1: Jets moving ahead is their second year quarterback. That is
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson. His best professional game. You were there with
Speaker 1: his family, I would argue, was against the Buccaneers. What
Speaker 1: do you think about the steps he took down the stride?
Speaker 1: But what more so I know, I guess a B
Speaker 1: where does he have to go from here? Because Robert
Speaker 1: Sala talked about it the lead meetings. He really wants
Speaker 1: them to master that playbook. Well, that's cute, listen football acumen. Um,
Speaker 1: going through the film profusely and finding out what you
Speaker 1: have to improve in as a player. Um. I think
Speaker 1: it's one thing to you know, you see guys train
Speaker 1: and show film and throwing all that stuff is great, right,
Speaker 1: building that continuity with players, But I think as an
Speaker 1: individual you have to really hone in on the craft
Speaker 1: of the mental side of it. And I think that
Speaker 1: just comes with the work and seeing why I did
Speaker 1: things wrong, why I didn't, why this worked, why it didn't,
Speaker 1: going through scenarios, watching other guys play in certain scenarios,
Speaker 1: understanding how your division uh plays defense versus you that
Speaker 1: year because you've got to play those teams twice. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of work that that gets needs to be
Speaker 1: put in behind the scenes that maybe isn't filmed. And
Speaker 1: I think that's the big thing, not just for for Zack,
Speaker 1: just in general. Young players in the league really have
Speaker 1: to go and do that that dirty work that's not
Speaker 1: necessarily bigger, faster, stronger, right, it's making this muscle better
Speaker 1: and then of course putting that into play with all
Speaker 1: the other work that he's putting in on the field
Speaker 1: will ultimately take him where he wants to go. There's
Speaker 1: no laps, especially at quarterback, you know. Well get Brady, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he announced his retirement. He's coming back. He didn't wait
Speaker 1: a long time. He knows offseason's creeping up. He's got
Speaker 1: to be there every single day and put his mind
Speaker 1: fully immerse himself into it. And for a young player,
Speaker 1: you have to do that even earlier. You don't get
Speaker 1: extra time in the off season. I remember, I don't
Speaker 1: know how you did it. But as a player, when
Speaker 1: I in the beginning of my career, I only took
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks off after the season. Now, as
Speaker 1: I got older, I knew how I have to do
Speaker 1: my craft. I knew the system, and I knew my body,
Speaker 1: and I was able to take a little bit longer,
Speaker 1: maybe a month or a month and a half. But
Speaker 1: when you're young man and you're still trying to and
Speaker 1: I was a first round pick, I was still I
Speaker 1: having to be great. You gotta really just you know,
Speaker 1: it's seven seven days a week, all year long for
Speaker 1: you as as a as a ball player, especially if
Speaker 1: you want to be great. Well, I wanted to ask
Speaker 1: both of you guys this because your former players. Do
Speaker 1: you like the news you're hearing from Wilson in terms
Speaker 1: of he was down in Nashville throwing to Corey Davis,
Speaker 1: He's down in South Florida throwing to Braxton Burials. So
Speaker 1: of course resigned here and other receivers including Elijah More. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you love to see your your quarterback take
Speaker 1: that initiative, you know, to go out and keep his
Speaker 1: players comfortable. He understands that. You know, I'm the leader
Speaker 1: of this team. I'm the one who should be getting
Speaker 1: out of my comfort zone and making sure these guys
Speaker 1: are comfortable and going in their environment. Maybe learn something
Speaker 1: more about Corey Davis by spending some time in this town,
Speaker 1: spending some time with Braxton Burials on a personal level,
Speaker 1: you get to know him a little better and you
Speaker 1: get that trust factor. So I think that's smart. But
Speaker 1: to go back to what you were saying about, you know,
Speaker 1: his progression in year two. I think back to when
Speaker 1: I was a rookie and I was out there playing,
Speaker 1: and a lot of the time I was out there
Speaker 1: just reacting to what was happened. I was just balling,
Speaker 1: and it was like someone happened a football man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was just I would just finding finding the ball.
Speaker 1: But as I grew and as as a game kind
Speaker 1: of slowed down for me, I started to dictate what happened.
Speaker 1: And I think at quarterback, especially, Zach is gonna start
Speaker 1: learning the offense. He's gonna start understanding better how the
Speaker 1: defenses are attacking him, and he's gonna understand how to
Speaker 1: dictate what they do and where the guys are gonna
Speaker 1: be open based on the things that he could do
Speaker 1: as an offensive Let's talk about your favorite position, the
Speaker 1: tight end spot. The Jets went into the off season
Speaker 1: with a big need. There they go get c J. Zama,
Speaker 1: who most recently was with the Cincinnati Bengals, flourished with
Speaker 1: the young quarterback. I mean there's a lot of talented
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks, but Joe Burrows right up there with many
Speaker 1: of them, and then another under the radar signing and
Speaker 1: Tyler Cochlin who became Kirk Cousins favorite target last year. Basically,
Speaker 1: in terms of the tight time position, I like the
Speaker 1: signs first aims, and this has been a position honestly
Speaker 1: with this organization well before Joe Douglas just just not
Speaker 1: has not panned out well, and you know, would you
Speaker 1: go back to color, Yeah, of course. I mean he
Speaker 1: was super productive. I mean, if you get that kind
Speaker 1: of play out of a tight end, that'd be huge
Speaker 1: for this organization. Um. You know, when you get two
Speaker 1: guys that are young, that are healthy, that are driven,
Speaker 1: that we're big part of their former team's success. Um,
Speaker 1: I think it's key. You know, when I look at Conklin,
Speaker 1: I see a guy. You know, a lot of intermediate
Speaker 1: past catching, did a nice job in the naked game,
Speaker 1: the movement stuff, a lot of stuff that the Jets
Speaker 1: like to do. He's able to find holes and seams,
Speaker 1: and he's there for the quarterback when needed. Um. You know, blocking,
Speaker 1: past protection, those things are good. It's average, they're they're there.
Speaker 1: Those always can get improved. But we need these guys
Speaker 1: to be products as far as what they do when
Speaker 1: they leave the line of scrimmage. When you look at
Speaker 1: c J, you know, he's a different a little different
Speaker 1: pieces of fact that I see a lot of him
Speaker 1: when he catches the ball, he's really has some urgency
Speaker 1: about making a guy miss and getting up the field,
Speaker 1: in particular in that red zone area. It's twenty five
Speaker 1: yards in. He really tries to. You know, you could
Speaker 1: tell there's an urgency about him, and everybody has that urgency,
Speaker 1: but for him, he knows he's limited. When he gets
Speaker 1: the ball in that area, he's got to make something
Speaker 1: happen to make people miss. I think he does that.
Speaker 1: He's got a big body, he's a good target. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, none of these guys are game breakers speed wise,
Speaker 1: as far as running rounds. I do think when they
Speaker 1: catch the ball and they get vertical, they do have
Speaker 1: some really good speed where they can get some distance
Speaker 1: and kind of get to where they need to be.
Speaker 1: So good signs good additions to really valuable pieces. And
Speaker 1: I really think you can still add another piece just
Speaker 1: because of the usage of the position in general, fullback,
Speaker 1: H tight end. You know you need more than two
Speaker 1: guys and West goes here, and then maybe you can
Speaker 1: get another guy valuable piece later on the draft where
Speaker 1: a lot of good valuable players are coming out of
Speaker 1: this year's class that can help you in those rounds.
Speaker 1: So you live down in Florida, you spend a lot
Speaker 1: of time down in Florida. What's going through your mind
Speaker 1: when you hear the Jets pursuit the cheetah of Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's exciting, it's exciting to think about.
Speaker 1: You know. I know my son was was happy about it.
Speaker 1: You know, he's seven years old and he loves, you know,
Speaker 1: watching touchdowns. That's all he wants to see his touchdowns
Speaker 1: and you know, to to see the Jets make that
Speaker 1: active um pursuit of Tyreek Hill. It was exciting, you know.
Speaker 1: But and then you start thinking about what are we
Speaker 1: gonna have to give up to get Tyreek Hill, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? And how much value is he
Speaker 1: going to add versus you know, I know there's a
Speaker 1: lot of positions that they need to be addressed. You know,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of youth here on this team, and
Speaker 1: those draft picks are gold. And when you can draft
Speaker 1: a player, bringing the player young, kind of groom them
Speaker 1: under your way of thinking, in your way of playing,
Speaker 1: I think that's a lot that's that brings a lot
Speaker 1: of value. You know, Tyreek Hill, you have to give
Speaker 1: up a ton of draft picks. You have to give up,
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of money, and that takes away
Speaker 1: from the pot from the rest of the guy. So
Speaker 1: while one player is great to have one great player
Speaker 1: to have. I think when you can get a multitude
Speaker 1: of players, especially young ones in the early rounds, you
Speaker 1: can't beat that this right now. But what does this
Speaker 1: say about Joe douglas philosophy that he does want to
Speaker 1: build it through the draft, like you just mentioned, but
Speaker 1: they also want to accelerate the development of their young
Speaker 1: quarterback exactly. Well. So, look, having a lot of draft
Speaker 1: picks is awesome, especially ones that are in the first
Speaker 1: three rounds. You know, I think when you look at okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: you got to give up a bunch of picks, but
Speaker 1: this is a Tyreek kill is a game changer, right.
Speaker 1: You don't have to throw them the ball down the
Speaker 1: field to make him do things. You know, you don't
Speaker 1: have to be perfect with him. You just a little
Speaker 1: check pass or a little jet sweep and he makes
Speaker 1: something happen. Right, So there's only a couple of guys
Speaker 1: you know, that can do this. There are some other
Speaker 1: receivers potentially, and again you said we're taping this down,
Speaker 1: that are available that can do those kind of things
Speaker 1: as well, and they you know, there's there's actually a
Speaker 1: little bit of a list of those guys. You know,
Speaker 1: people talking about you know, Metcalf being available, A J.
Speaker 1: Brown could be potentially these guys are gain changing receivers.
Speaker 1: Of course, you're talking about guys with expiring contracts exactly,
Speaker 1: So you know, can they come in and be a
Speaker 1: difference right now like they're on in their organizations. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: they're they're ones, They're true ones. You know, in this
Speaker 1: draft there is a high a number of really good
Speaker 1: receivers that are coming out. We've talked about on some
Speaker 1: of the segments already. They're just you know, they're still
Speaker 1: driven on potential. You don't know, you know, either're not
Speaker 1: guaranteed to be uh you know, uh you know, uh
Speaker 1: Jefferson or uh oh boy from Chase coming to the Bengals.
Speaker 1: I mean, they just aren't. You can't guarantee that or
Speaker 1: a Wattle in Miami. So, you know, although they have
Speaker 1: what it takes and it looks like they could be
Speaker 1: those guys, they're still draft pick guys and you have
Speaker 1: enough capital in the draft where I honestly I believe
Speaker 1: that when I saw that the way they packaged it,
Speaker 1: they still had some good They were still gonna have
Speaker 1: four intense. Yeah, they're still gonna four intent. So to me,
Speaker 1: it was like, wow, like this isn't bad because to
Speaker 1: get that kind of value for a second or third
Speaker 1: round picks or whatever it is. I thought it was good.

Speaker 1: All right, we're a couple weeks removed from that first
Speaker 1: wave of free agency, and we talked about the tight
Speaker 1: ends a little bit. The Jets get a lank and
Speaker 1: Tom wins in a Pro Bowl offensive lineman Joe Douglas
Speaker 1: also attacked offensive line those first two drafts, going with
Speaker 1: a lineman in the first round on the defensive side
Speaker 1: of the ball to keep pickups. There include Jordan Whitehead,
Speaker 1: a guy with championship pedigree who formally played with the
Speaker 1: Boxers first four seasons. Just within the postseason with Tom
Speaker 1: Brady and company with the Rams, DJ read, fascinating story
Speaker 1: because Robert Salo was in San Francisco when he started
Speaker 1: his career, and you really flourished on the outside of
Speaker 1: five nine corner. How many times have we ever said that?
Speaker 1: With all that being said, you can comment on your
Speaker 1: favorite signing, but also make a transition. What are the
Speaker 1: Jets clear needs heading into the draft? Well, you know
Speaker 1: heading into the draft. Obviously pass rusher is one of them.
Speaker 1: You know you want to you want someone to be
Speaker 1: able to get you off the field, help get you
Speaker 1: off the field on third down. Carl Lawson going down
Speaker 1: was it was a big um. It was a big
Speaker 1: blow before the season even started. Uh, you know, you
Speaker 1: look at wide receiver. You know, yes, you have Corey Davis,
Speaker 1: you have Elijah More Braxton Burials. It would be nice
Speaker 1: to add another receiver to make things easier for Zack Wilson. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, when I when I think about the other positions,
Speaker 1: I would like to add some depth that linebacker. You know,
Speaker 1: I think that while like Quincy Williams is a guy
Speaker 1: who emerged as a as a very good player and
Speaker 1: a guy who's going to be here for the future.
Speaker 1: C J. Mosley obviously is a game changer. But when
Speaker 1: you can add some depth, I think that will help
Speaker 1: this d defense quite a bit. So you know, I
Speaker 1: look at it from a defensive perspective, so it's easier
Speaker 1: for me. But you know, pass rusher linebacker on defense
Speaker 1: another skill position on offense. I'll about you ab well,
Speaker 1: you know I know where this is a deep draft
Speaker 1: for pass rushers, and honestly, I don't know how these
Speaker 1: thing's gonna shake out in the first four picks. I mean,
Speaker 1: quite frankly, who knows who's gonna fall into your spot?
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's predicting the Hutchinson is going to be gone.
Speaker 1: You know, Cavan is gonna be gone. Well maybe not.
Speaker 1: They may both be available, I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: so you know, there's gonna be surprises. So you may like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is what's gonna happen, but you know, you've got
Speaker 1: to kind of go by what you and a good
Speaker 1: though part about it is those players are kind of
Speaker 1: like what you need, right, so it just depends on
Speaker 1: how you rate them. So yeah, pass rushers is key.
Speaker 1: I mean the fact that Lass is going to be back,
Speaker 1: and you know, if he were all assuming he's gonna
Speaker 1: come back the same guy was when he was with
Speaker 1: the expectation levels. And now to have a guy that's
Speaker 1: premier that's coming out of this draft, to have a
Speaker 1: partner in crime really amps up what you can do
Speaker 1: with the younger guy and enhance his skill set in development. Normally,
Speaker 1: if if you're going to the Lions or whatever, you're
Speaker 1: the only guy, right, so you gotta do it on
Speaker 1: your own. Well, if you got another piece on the
Speaker 1: other side and some inside guys, it can help speed
Speaker 1: the production of which is good receiver I think is
Speaker 1: always gathers. I think you can get a good receiver
Speaker 1: all the way through to your fourth pick that the
Speaker 1: two second round. In my opinion, you know, now, how
Speaker 1: much are you rolling the dice if you don't go
Speaker 1: in there, if you don't make a yeah, I think
Speaker 1: you are again you can always move up with the
Speaker 1: two second round picks. I mean, so again, you're not
Speaker 1: out of it, but you know you'd like to kind
Speaker 1: of keep those guys and I think cornerback. I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: if you can get the Gardener kid, just man, you know,
Speaker 1: I really like them, and not only does his play
Speaker 1: and size matchup, but there's production. Like you know, sometimes
Speaker 1: I feel like these top corners come out they don't
Speaker 1: have any picks or you know, this guy's got picks.
Speaker 1: Like people that attempted to kind of go his way,
Speaker 1: he made them. Hey, very active, comes from a little
Speaker 1: chip on your shoulder college. You know, everybody doubts Incinnati,
Speaker 1: and he's gonna come in with that. It's well learned
Speaker 1: for him to be in a position that he's in.
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, Stingley's out there again, a guy
Speaker 1: that everybody loves. Production wasn't as great as early on
Speaker 1: in his career. Is he going to be that kind
Speaker 1: of guy coming into the league? You know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean traditionally Alice, she was put out some really
Speaker 1: good corners. But you know, this Sauce kid. You know,
Speaker 1: Gardner's a good looking guy. Good looking probably I think
Speaker 1: he's I don't want to say is it can't miss,
Speaker 1: but he's pretty close to it. He's probably gonna be
Speaker 1: there for Yeah. I know we can't just look at
Speaker 1: mock drafts and say, well, this is exactly what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: But what do you think about that the guy who
Speaker 1: played the safety position, Because if you filed San Francisco
Speaker 1: that model or the Seattle model, very rarely did they
Speaker 1: take cornerbacks early. But maybe this is a unique situation
Speaker 1: where Robert Sale has talked about, hey, if the unicorn
Speaker 1: is there, um and he probably referred to more of
Speaker 1: the safety position because people are talking about Coleton, like
Speaker 1: where do you stand on sauce? How much do you
Speaker 1: like him and how much does he change the dynamic
Speaker 1: defensively if you get him in here. I like him
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, he's six three, he can run,
Speaker 1: he can cover a man. The man you know, when
Speaker 1: you're playing against teams like Miami and they have a
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, he's one of those guys. He's not gonna
Speaker 1: completely eliminate Tyreek Hill, but he's going to limit a
Speaker 1: lot of those big plays that he can make and
Speaker 1: force someone else to make the play. Then you look
Speaker 1: at the other side. You know Price Hall, he's emerging
Speaker 1: as a cornerback doing a great job and coverage. You
Speaker 1: add a dj Reeve, he's another corner you can play.
Speaker 1: And you know, let's not forget they play a lot
Speaker 1: of cover three. You know, the Jets play a lot
Speaker 1: of his own schemes. They rely on the past rest
Speaker 1: of the linebackers underneath to have a lot of speed.
Speaker 1: So you know, with getting him in that fourth pick,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you need to, you know, just
Speaker 1: like in the past, like they found a Richard Sherman.
Speaker 1: He became that cornerstone toward their defense. If you could
Speaker 1: find him, it's great, But I don't know if there's
Speaker 1: a need. I don't know if you need to have
Speaker 1: a guy just a lockdown corner. Yes, you think that's it?
Speaker 1: Like if he go to tent like, yeah, I would
Speaker 1: love him at Tad right, I would love him maybe
Speaker 1: better great, it would really just open up. I mean,
Speaker 1: you had pass rushers, you got corner, you know it.
Speaker 1: Just where do you guys stand on Hamilton's because you
Speaker 1: mentioned his safety and the Jets in first round and
Speaker 1: Jets fans have bad memories with With that being said,
Speaker 1: A lot of people think this guys can't miss prospect.
Speaker 1: He's long, he's rangey, he comes downhill, he can play
Speaker 1: over the tight end, and he can cover. He's got
Speaker 1: alpha qualities. It's high. You know, we've been through that before.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think, um, look, white Head is
Speaker 1: is it is a really good sign for this organization. Uh.
Speaker 1: He is a monster in the box. I honestly feel
Speaker 1: like if he's correctly he could be a more productive
Speaker 1: than Jamal Adams is in the box in my opinion.
Speaker 1: That's how good I think he is. I really think
Speaker 1: he performed well and I think there's You've got a
Speaker 1: lot of value in the in the what you paid him.
Speaker 1: I mean, um, I think he played one of the
Speaker 1: better safeties all around safeties in the league last year
Speaker 1: that he played that well awesome tackler. So you know, now,
Speaker 1: is his cover skills where you want to be? A
Speaker 1: guy got where he needed to be. He's very good.
Speaker 1: He's not wasting reps in the wrong spot and they
Speaker 1: moved them around. Yeah, he understands his assignment, so he's
Speaker 1: in there. So again, is it is it speed related?
Speaker 1: Covering all those things? Now? The kid from Notre Dame
Speaker 1: a lot of people are questioning his speed. I look,
Speaker 1: film is film. They played really good competition. The kid
Speaker 1: can play ball. Is he in a racer? Is he
Speaker 1: a guy that you know how many safeties in the
Speaker 1: league are racers? Off the top of your head, I
Speaker 1: mean a couple, yeah. If I mean, I'd rather get
Speaker 1: to the quarterback with a guy on the line then
Speaker 1: try to figure out what my safety can do in
Speaker 1: the back end and hoping he can get somewhere or
Speaker 1: prevent something. You know, you can stop everything at the
Speaker 1: line of script. So if you feel like there's a
Speaker 1: pass rusher there that's legit elite, even if like In's case, well,
Speaker 1: you know, you don't get every play I played against
Speaker 1: the guy that's probably gonna well he is going to
Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame. One of the best
Speaker 1: pass rushers ever is Julius. He didn't play every play
Speaker 1: the way you maybe, but I'm telling you now, he's
Speaker 1: screwed up a game a week. I mean, that's just
Speaker 1: what he did because of those one one and a
Speaker 1: half splash plays came on. Could be one of those guys. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, those game changers on the edge,
Speaker 1: if they're available, I think that super ces maybe a
Speaker 1: safety that potentially hard to say he's going to be
Speaker 1: an a racer just there's no rookies coming and doing
Speaker 1: anything that's an a racer. But he is a good player.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a tough deal. It would be fascinating
Speaker 1: if they do. Indeed, gold Gardner four and then what
Speaker 1: pass rusher is there at is tackle out of the realm.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm just saying, like, look, I
Speaker 1: hope Beckton doesn't get hurt again or anything like that.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, Fan is not getting any
Speaker 1: younger play phenomenal last year and of course yeah now
Speaker 1: in this moment he's he's there and he's good. But
Speaker 1: you never have enough guys if you can get another piece,
Speaker 1: I don't know too much, especially afore if like that
Speaker 1: that perfect guys like man, you know what he's fallen here,
Speaker 1: and some silly teams take quarterbacks early and just put
Speaker 1: some guys in front of you, like you like both
Speaker 1: of Kuana O'Neil, both both you guys, Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: they're I think they're both nasty. I mean, and you
Speaker 1: and you see what a good officsive line does for
Speaker 1: a quarterback. I mean, you saw the offensive line of
Speaker 1: the Colts carry them. They should have went into the playoffs,
Speaker 1: you know. But you look at the you know, the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, they have a great offensive line. It just
Speaker 1: makes the quarterback job so much easier. You you can
Speaker 1: run the football, make sure it allows your defense to rest.
Speaker 1: It just is good for your your organization when you
Speaker 1: have a great offensive line that can run the football,
Speaker 1: protect your quarterback, sustained drives. Just dictate the way that
Speaker 1: you're going to play the game. I would never get
Speaker 1: mad at first if you went with a tackle of four,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have to go tenant receiver in my opinion.
Speaker 1: Now you can slide down or come up a little
Speaker 1: and you can go in those areas and find that
Speaker 1: Now those receivers that we you know, maybe a sky
Speaker 1: More uh Christian one or something like that, those guys
Speaker 1: become better players because of protection purposes. But you think
Speaker 1: about it from the other side, like, look what Cincinnati
Speaker 1: did you know they needed offensive linement. They wouldn't got
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase. And there's there's no there's no question. You know,
Speaker 1: maybe there's enough. You know, you're right, Look, but I'm
Speaker 1: with you. I'm a big line was not good and
Speaker 1: they got there. But I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: think that they could be safe money here, that you're
Speaker 1: gonna go edge for time. You got John Franklin Moyers
Speaker 1: in the mix, you still have Quinnin Williams and Sheldon
Speaker 1: Rank in the middle. You added a former first round
Speaker 1: pick who's familiar with the system and Solomon, So you're
Speaker 1: starting to see the pieces come together the way Robert
Speaker 1: Salo wants to do this thing right right. You love it,
Speaker 1: you love it. You love to see the team come together.
Speaker 1: It's gonna take a couple of years. You always say
Speaker 1: that it's not gonna be the way you wanted the
Speaker 1: first year. But you know what I liked about last
Speaker 1: season is that there are a bunch of youngsters out
Speaker 1: there playing their butts off, no matter what the score was,
Speaker 1: no matter what the situation was. At the end of
Speaker 1: the year, beginning of the year, they were going out
Speaker 1: there and giving it they're all and that's a reflection
Speaker 1: of the coach. And then when you add some more
Speaker 1: talent to that and you get more experience with the
Speaker 1: young guys, you added some superstars with that with the
Speaker 1: same mentality, it's going to cause a lot of problem.
Speaker 1: They're gonna win a lot of games that a lot
Speaker 1: of people don't think they should. You know, so, I
Speaker 1: think that when you add those players, you get Karl
Speaker 1: Losson healthy, you add somebody in the draft, you get
Speaker 1: some more superstars, it's gonna be a problem. You've got
Speaker 1: some of young leaders that we talked all year about
Speaker 1: the two twenty one rookie class, how impressive it was.
Speaker 1: But from your perspective in terms of free agency, how
Speaker 1: key was it getting these guys in here. Yeah, veterans
Speaker 1: with experience, but guys who played in the postseason use
Speaker 1: I'm I just saw the rise with the Bengals from
Speaker 1: two to four and he's playing in the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: with Joe Burrow, uh Lankin. Thomlinson was part of that
Speaker 1: build in San Francisco where they compete in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Last year, they're playing an NFC championship game on the
Speaker 1: other side of the ball. G J. Reid as postseason
Speaker 1: experienced and Jordan White had can walk downstairs inside that
Speaker 1: locker room. He's got a ring. When you get a
Speaker 1: taste of that success, usually good players want more of it.
Speaker 1: And the fact that they've had the track and they
Speaker 1: know how to get there, and they've seen how a
Speaker 1: team can kind of get themselves prepared to go in
Speaker 1: the direction they want to go and achieve greatness. Uh,
Speaker 1: guys start listening, you know, teammates start, You've been there, Like,
Speaker 1: what's it take? You know, Jordan White is going to
Speaker 1: be in a dB room that's thirsty to know what
Speaker 1: it means is to be a winner, like be in
Speaker 1: a position of greatness, and he can offer that to them.
Speaker 1: You know that that's gonna be huge, Just like you
Speaker 1: said those other pieces. Now you're starting to collab really
Speaker 1: good talented players that have won real meaningful games in
Speaker 1: this league, championships, and they can spread that to the
Speaker 1: young players in the roster. I think it's big. What
Speaker 1: do you think of the arms race in the s C.
Speaker 1: Let's go through the quarters. We don't have to evaluate
Speaker 1: every team, but we just throw the names out there. FC.
Speaker 1: He got Josh Allen, the FC North through the Jets,
Speaker 1: by the way battle next year, DeShawn Watson. I was
Speaker 1: thinking all along that yes he would be traded, but
Speaker 1: maybe New Orleans or Atlanta. No, he winds up in Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson gonna be back healthy for the Baltimore Ravens
Speaker 1: to talk about Joe Burrow and the success he had
Speaker 1: last seasons. Yeah, of course, if you go to the West,
Speaker 1: everybody's got a good quarterback. And even if you don't
Speaker 1: want to say Derek Carr is not a lead, he's
Speaker 1: a very good quarterback. And now he's got I don't
Speaker 1: know all the top two receiver NFL and Dante Adams
Speaker 1: he is thrown to. Russell Wilson has joined the number
Speaker 1: Broncles a f C. We've never seen anything like that
Speaker 1: to me, and that those guys don't matter. We're trying
Speaker 1: to win a division, right, I mean, so it's really
Speaker 1: what's in this division. And clearly the Bills have shown
Speaker 1: us right now that they're the class and they've upgraded
Speaker 1: around this team a little bit to him free agency
Speaker 1: that I felt like they've made themselves a little bit better. So,
Speaker 1: you know, Uh to Uh is a guy that's like
Speaker 1: the Jets are doing. They're putting pieces around this kid
Speaker 1: to see if he can be the guy. They got
Speaker 1: a solid guy that's gonna push him in Teddy Bridge.
Speaker 1: But we all know Teddy he can manage. When you
Speaker 1: can manage a bunch of stars, you can have some success, right,
Speaker 1: so that again you talk about the arms race in
Speaker 1: the division. And then of course new wingol is always
Speaker 1: going to be there. Matt Jones played as well as
Speaker 1: any rookie quarterback in the last several years, and they're
Speaker 1: only going to try to add more around him as well.
Speaker 1: But look, it's no easy task. Yeah, they're that other
Speaker 1: stuff out there. But when you're playing teams twice a
Speaker 1: year in your division, you're trying to win a division.
Speaker 1: You got to figure out how to match up against
Speaker 1: those guys. And and then when you get to those
Speaker 1: other teams, you have a chance. They beat the Bengals,
Speaker 1: you have a chance when you don't play common the folks,
Speaker 1: you know, because you you're just out of the realm
Speaker 1: because everybody's locked in. All those teams in NFC wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna be locking into their division, right, They're gonna end
Speaker 1: up losing silly games, and maybe they didn't think they're
Speaker 1: gonna lose because you're so focused on the division. I
Speaker 1: think the division is important and it's a tough one.
Speaker 1: This this is it's an outstanding point. Listen, Sali said
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, the gap between Austin Buffalo,
Speaker 1: it's big. How do you close it? Or you guys
Speaker 1: looking more along the lines of these other three teams
Speaker 1: in the division. You're talking about a Bills team on
Speaker 1: what eleven of one inside the NFCS the last two years. Well,
Speaker 1: you know when you when you were mentioning in all
Speaker 1: those teams, I'm thinking about all the wide receivers you
Speaker 1: know from from each team. You know you you have
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle in Miami. You know you
Speaker 1: have digs up in up in Buffalo. DeVante Parker just
Speaker 1: signed with New England. You know you're going to need
Speaker 1: some defensive actually need some pass rushers to get to
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks to help flip things in your direction. You're
Speaker 1: also gonna have to put up points. So you know,
Speaker 1: when you look at the two positions that we've been
Speaker 1: talking about for the first round, why receiver, cornerback, pass rusher.
Speaker 1: You know all these things are going to do nothing
Speaker 1: but health the Jets. You close the gap of quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: You just asked, how do you close the gap? You
Speaker 1: need a josh Own type of player that's making plays
Speaker 1: like that, that's winning games. It's putting up numbers. That's
Speaker 1: not you know, is not the opponents. It does. And look,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of pressure. And that's what this league is,
Speaker 1: man Like, there is pressure for the top guy. When
Speaker 1: I was a first round pick and Chad and Abraham
Speaker 1: and Elise, there was pressure for us to perform period.
Speaker 1: Now it might be told the players differently, might be
Speaker 1: projected to players differently, but when I was here, is
Speaker 1: playing simple. My coach told me we need more. Your
Speaker 1: first round pick, you need to play better. We have
Speaker 1: more expectation out of you. And that was what I
Speaker 1: was told. That hurt your feelings. They may may make
Speaker 1: you scared, or it may raise you up to a
Speaker 1: level that makes you great. But that's kind of how
Speaker 1: it works. Like you, you gotta play better, like all
Speaker 1: these guys from last year, like your Tucker and and
Speaker 1: my car. Great starts, but man, we want more, we
Speaker 1: need more. And it's started to me. Zach has got
Speaker 1: to take leaps and bounds and he's healthy, he's going
Speaker 1: the all season. He's got some weapons. Some players just now,
Speaker 1: not even with the draft. He's got to go out
Speaker 1: there and do whatever he can to better himself. And
Speaker 1: like talking about they're out there throwing. All that stuff
Speaker 1: is great. It's a small piece of the pie. There's
Speaker 1: other things you have to do, and he may be
Speaker 1: doing that, and if it is, that's great. I hope
Speaker 1: he is because he's supposed to. And if he is
Speaker 1: doing those things, he's gonna be fine. But he has
Speaker 1: to take leech and strides because that is the difference
Speaker 1: maker in the NFL quarterback position. All that other stuff
Speaker 1: is great. We need it, pass rushers, all that stuff.
Speaker 1: Just like you mentioned, Joe Barrow got to the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl y because of his offensive line. Hell no, because
Speaker 1: of his offensive mind. You're nice to have it. You
Speaker 1: have the Jets offensive line. Who knows how many jams.
Speaker 1: I think this line is really good. Quarterback play is
Speaker 1: premium and you have to find a way now that
Speaker 1: everybody else gotta do their jobs around them, but the
Speaker 1: quarterback has to find a way to be elite. And
Speaker 1: that's hard in this business. And you know there's some
Speaker 1: signs of it last year. Now you need more sign
Speaker 1: more things. More it's and and look, tighten the screws.
Speaker 1: That's what it is. When you're top tier pick forget
Speaker 1: regardless of that anybody else, you gotta raise the level play,
Speaker 1: and that's my expectation for any top round guy. Win
