One of the best guys in our industry. 9 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: And as we sit here, the backdrop again in Florin 10 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: Park is snow is ever going to stop snowing. With 11 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: that being said, we continue to push on spring is 12 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: on the horizon that means free agency. The Jets have 13 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: completed their coaching staff, solid tabs Jeff Albrick to be 14 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: this team's defensive coordinator and all Brick interesting background, and 15 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: we got a chance to know a little bit more 16 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: about him from a guy who's been covering him the 17 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: last few a few years with the Atlanta Falcons. And 18 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 1: Jeff Albrick for fans or anyone that doesn't know anything 19 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: about him, he comes over from the Atlanta Falcons, where 20 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: last season he was the linebackers coach and then the 21 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: interim defensive coordinator when Raheem Morris was named interim head 22 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: coach when Dan Quinn was relieved of his duties as 23 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: head coach of the Falcons, So a bit of a 24 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: shuffle there in the middle of the season for Atlanta, 25 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: but he was with the Falcons for or since two 26 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,479 Speaker 1: thousand fifteen coaching the linebackers, and Dion Jones, of course, 27 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: is the big name there, so a lot of connections. 28 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: You go back to two thousand one, Albrick was just 29 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: starting his court is starting his career playing career as 30 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: a linebacker the San Francisco forty Niners, a third round 31 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: pick out of Hawaii. Believe his second year was two 32 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: thousand one. Well, dan Quinn was the quality controlled defensive 33 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: coach for the forty Niners at that time, so those 34 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: two start a relationship relationship there. Then all break after 35 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: his playing career is over, starts in the National Football 36 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: League on Pete Carroll's staff with the Seattle Seahawks. Albrick 37 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: was an assistant special teams coach in it at that time. 38 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: Dan Quinn was the defensive coordinator for Pete Carroll. So 39 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: fast forward, Dan Quinn becomes the head coach of the 40 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons and he brings all break on board, the 41 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: head up the linebackers. Then you look at this past 42 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: season when the Falcons make the coaching change Wherehee Morris 43 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: becomes the interim head coach and then Albrick becomes the 44 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. They shared play calling duties on the defensive 45 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: side of the ball. But you saw from Atlanta those 46 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: guys made a tremendous amount of strides after the changes. 47 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: And we got a chance to talk to dlat about 48 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: what was different about the Atlanta Falcons after the coaching 49 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: change and what did all Brick bring to the table. 50 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: And you want to take this a step further, keeping 51 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: things in Seattle with Dan Quinn, Well, they were Dan 52 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: Quinn and Gus Bradley and Robert Sala. So really bringing 53 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: this full circle, Coach Sala was brought up in the 54 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: coaching ranks in Seattle under that defense in which all 55 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: Brick saw firsthand in Atlanta. So there's a lot of 56 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: moving pieces. And now all Brick and Sala reunited or 57 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: united in Florham Park as they embarked together on this 58 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: coaching journey. And let's hear from d Orlando ledbetter on 59 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: coach Jeff Albrick, he led thanks a lot for joining us, 60 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: and we're talking Jeff Albrick, the new Jets defensive coordinator, 61 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: spent some years with the Falcons, mostly as a linebackers 62 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: coach and then transitioned into interim defensive coordinator. Can you 63 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: take us back to when he joined the team and 64 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: what his overall role has been on this defense. Yes, 65 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: we're did join the team. It was a little bit 66 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: of controversy. Um he had he was on the coach, 67 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: He was on the staff at you l a he 68 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: has signed ro KWin Smith to come out there and play. 69 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: Ro Kwan backed out and went to Georgia when he 70 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: found out that old Brook was coming here to coach 71 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: with the Falcon So he came in, uh, you know, 72 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: with a bit of a fury, into the state of Georgia. 73 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: He took over the group and uh you know got 74 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: Dion Jones later, Uh you know, and uh was able 75 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: to get that group to play at a high level 76 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: early later developed Foyer. Ulla Khan had Dabandre Campbell who 77 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: left and went to the Arizona Cardinals. Uh, so you know, 78 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: he had some young guys he had to teach and 79 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: get them ready to play, and did by all measures, 80 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: did a very good job. Was always uh good to 81 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: the media. He's gonna tell you right away, Hey, I'm 82 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: coach Brick. You know, don't call me Jeff or oh Brook. 83 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: But great guy. Played out in Hawaii, played in the 84 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 1: league for the forty niners. Uh and you know, the 85 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: guys in Hawaii always loved him, so you know they 86 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: would always called or keep keep track on him and 87 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: try to still get him on the show out there. 88 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: So he was a good guy all the way around 89 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: and did a great job here by all accounts. D 90 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: lad what happened last year when Dan Quinn was relieved 91 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: of his head coaching duties, Raheem Morris takes over and 92 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: Jeff Albrick became the insim defensive coordinator in Atlanta. Why 93 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,799 Speaker 1: did the defense perform so much better down the stretch 94 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: after the change was made? Well, what they did as 95 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: a group, and you know, they split the call and 96 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: it was weird. I think Jeff called first and second 97 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: down and Raheim caught third downs in the red zone. 98 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: It was some funky split like that, But um, you 99 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: know that's how they did it. Uh they started um, 100 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: you know, using more blitzes, started taking more gambos. Uh 101 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: you know, demanded players to you know, uh you know, 102 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: play their roles, to do what they asked them to do. 103 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: They with some people around, uh you know, got Isaiah 104 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: Oliver off the corner, move him inside the nickel, and uh, 105 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: you know, win after people with blitzing the linebackers Dion 106 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: Jones and uh Foyer La Khan, those were the main blitzers, 107 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: but they also blitzed the safety and brought some corners 108 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: from time to time. They just you know, they knew 109 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: they didn't have a pass rush and they weren't gonna 110 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: let teams just sit back there and throw for five 111 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: hundred yards a game, So that that helped them out. 112 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: They were able to win a couple of games there 113 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: and then uh you know down the stretch, playing Brady 114 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: twice and uh Kansas City in one game. You know, 115 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: they they ended up losing the last five, but they 116 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: made some changes and they did some different and unconventional 117 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: things to get that defense to perform at a higher 118 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: level when they were shuffling around. When dan Quinn was 119 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: relieved of his head coaching duties, like Eric said, why 120 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: was Jeff all Break the guy to take on more responsibility, 121 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: Why was he a good fit for that role? And 122 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: why do you believe that the Falcon staff chose him 123 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: to fill that role. Well, him had been over there 124 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: with him, you know, Ryan was mostly on the offensive 125 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: side here. Then he went over last year when uh, 126 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: you know they started one in seven and let a 127 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: turnaround that last year too, So that got him the 128 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator job. And uh, he was working closely with 129 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: Jeff throughout the season, and the secondary coaches were less senior, 130 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: Uh just came over, you know, Joe Witt from Green 131 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: Bray was just here for the first year. And then 132 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: the defensive line coaches were uh, you know, old college 133 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: guys and uh from Miami and Alabama, so you know, 134 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: they weren't gonna be able to call it. So Jeff 135 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: was the natural person to call the defense. And uh 136 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: he had um, you know, already had a relationship with 137 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: you know, Rayhey Morris. So he was the trusted defensive lieutenant, 138 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: highest ranking one left, uh, you know to call it. 139 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: The other option would have been Bob Sutton, the former 140 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: Kansas City chief coordinator. But Bob was more of the 141 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: senior assistant more a senior quality control person hadn't caught 142 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: any plays in a couple of years, so it would 143 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: have been uh probably you know, uh probably been a 144 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: little bit difficult to give it to coach Bob. Bob 145 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: Sutton the longest tenure Jets assistant defensive assistant in franchise history. 146 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: D lad Hey, how relatable is Brick Jeff All Brick, 147 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: because when you hear the players talk about him, he 148 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: seems like just a tremendous communicator. And people around the 149 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: building said, he brings the juice. Oh yeah, no, DoD, 150 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: he brings the juice to the media sessions too, so 151 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: you know that was always helpful. But yeah, great communicator. 152 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: You can see where he's a good teacher. Um, you know, 153 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: very specific and clear and how he wants the players 154 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: to play, very truthful with them. Uh you know, I 155 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: know Beyond Jones is one of his pride rice projects 156 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 1: and developing him and he always wanted him to you know, 157 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: they got him to be a cover linebacker, you got 158 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: to cover album Kamara. Uh you know McCaffrey, you know, 159 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: and uh, you know Ronald Jones to a lesser degree 160 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: in the NFC South So Dion was drafted to cover 161 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: running backs and occasional tight ends as big interceptions against 162 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: New Orleans. They needed him to get better and tougher 163 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: against the run as a smallish, you know, two hundred 164 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: thirty pound linebacker. So you know, Jeff was always truthful 165 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: about that, and uh, you know, it was always up, 166 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: you know, pressing Dion to get better. It got him 167 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: to one Pro Bowl and you know, maybe that's some 168 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: more in his future. But uh, you know, he's definitely 169 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: a teacher, a builder of men and uh you know 170 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: preacher's character and honesty and and into his players. You 171 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: kind of talked about it, but how would you describe 172 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: coach all brooks coaching style. Well, you know, these days 173 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: it's hard because they don't really get an we're not 174 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: only feel like we used to be, you know, so 175 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: you know we we we get to see special teams 176 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: and get to see it warm up. So, um, I 177 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: have to kind of just go from what he you know, 178 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: what I've seen during the games and uh, you know 179 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: what I've seen during while I'm out there watching special 180 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: teams and they're warming up. Uh, you know, that's one 181 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: of the downsides of these closed practices. So maybe they'll 182 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: open them back up. Hopefully you all get open practices 183 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: up there, but we're all pray that, Yeah, hopefully we 184 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: all get those open practices. So but so what I 185 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: did see was, you know, a composed teacher. He's not 186 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: a while you think of defensive guys, you think wild 187 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: crazy guys just you know, hey, let's go get up. 188 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: But no, he's more a tactician from what I've been 189 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: able to see. And uh, a quiet you know, he's 190 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: not gonna get up in your face and yell at you, 191 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: but he's gonna quietly come forcefully demand what he needs 192 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: out of his players. Now. See, I'm probably probably missing 193 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: the wild side because we're not there, but I'm sure 194 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: he's got it because he's a linebacker. We all know 195 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 1: linebackers are crazy at some point, but um, you know, 196 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,719 Speaker 1: uh or you know, have that kind of linebacker main 197 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: streak in him, so we uh you know, I'm pretty 198 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: sure he has that. We just haven't. We just didn't 199 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: get to see that here. Uh for the five years 200 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: in Atlantis, there's no doubt linebackers haven't mean streaking them. 201 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: What do you think about his playing career? Not evaluating 202 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: his playing career but how that experience helps him, uh coach, 203 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: because he initially after he was done with the forty niners, 204 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: he played ten seasons after being a third round pick 205 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: out of Hawaii. He said that my career kind of 206 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: went in an inverse compared to most people. I started 207 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: as a starting linebacker, and then I became a special teams, 208 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 1: key contributor down the stretch of my career. Um. And 209 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: then after he was done, he said, I want to 210 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: coach college players because I want to be like a 211 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: surrogate dad to them. But one thing Brick has noted 212 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 1: as saying was, hey, recruiting, that's a hundred percent you 213 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: have to be available. And he didn't really love that 214 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: aspect of it. So he made that transition to the 215 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: National Football League. But he always talked about coaching being 216 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: in his future after his playing career. Yeah, no doubt 217 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: about it. Uh. You know his career that says a 218 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: lot about him as a player and a person that 219 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: would stay around to be a special teamer after being 220 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: a starter in the third round pick. I've seen that 221 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: in a couple other players I know that played that position. 222 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: Steven Nicholas here, Uh you know, he was a fourth 223 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: rounder out of South Florida. You know he's getting in 224 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: the coach and now too he's down to Tampa the 225 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: year under on Dirk Cutter Staff and uh he ended 226 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: his career on special teams. Then Alex Gordon to throwback, uh, 227 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: top pick of the Jets ended up being a special 228 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: team guy uh in Cincinnati for you know, to get 229 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: his team to ten years in the league. So you know, 230 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: that's a tough, tough road to go in a tough 231 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: to do it, but you know he did it that way. Now, 232 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: college wise, I'm sure the recruiting situation where road Kwan 233 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: Smith may have been the last straw for coach Old Brick. 234 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: It was a big deal down here in Georgia. The 235 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: kid flipped from u c l A to Georgia after that. 236 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: Now you know he's the middle linebacker of Chicago Bears. 237 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: So um, yeah, I'm pretty sure that the college recruiting 238 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: the fact that they didn't have that much success on 239 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: Jim Morris Staff and U c l A either had 240 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: something to do with it. You know, a former Fountain coach, 241 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: but he was good friends with Dan Quinn and very 242 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: loyal to him. You know, they did get to the 243 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, Uh. But yeah, he was part of that 244 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: unit too that gave up the three leads. So uh 245 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: and they all on that uh and uh, you know, 246 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 1: take their their fair share of the blame for that. 247 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: But he was very likable, Uh. Great uh person to 248 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: talk to and should have a right future in New 249 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: York coaching up there with coach, I wanted to ask 250 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: you about the system here in a moment, But let's 251 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: go back to this past season. We talked about the 252 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: defensive improvements. What the heck did Atlanta do with Morris 253 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: and all Brick against the Kansas City Chiefs Because most 254 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: teams prior to the Super Bowl nobody could stop the Chiefs. 255 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: But they held them to under twenty points and they 256 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: put their team a position and win that ball game. Yeah, 257 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: no doubt. They dropped a pick in the end zone 258 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: that could have clinched it. What they did and I 259 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: went back and looked at it twice because you know 260 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: I wrote about it doing Super Bowl week. Was they 261 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: kept two people over Tyreek Hill and then two people 262 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: buzzing around, Um, Travis Kelsey. So those are pat my 263 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: home the first two targets and south he threw a 264 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: lot of balls away that game. Because he didn't he 265 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: hadn't seen that. You know, they weren't you know, they 266 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: weren't clearly bracketing them, but they were running people in 267 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: front of him behind them, and uh, you know just 268 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: the creative scheme, you know where they would come up 269 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: to the line like they're guns double a got blitz 270 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: and they dropped it to a zone. So they did 271 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: a great job of disguising the coverages and it threw 272 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: Mahomes off and he was it was his worst game 273 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: other years Lord passing read another year, but he got 274 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: him late because of you know, while they had to 275 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: commit to people to uh Tyreek and uh to Kelsey. 276 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: Then de Marcus Robinson gets loose on a triple move 277 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: because no pass rush right, so he he just he 278 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: got wide open on Sheffield and got open for a 279 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: twenty five yard touchdown, easy left throw to win the game. Uh, 280 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: the balconst came down. Mr field go could have tied 281 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: it once to overtime, but you know that was their season. 282 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: You know ms field goes dropped the deceptions, not recovering 283 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: on sidekicks. It was quite the campaign. So if you 284 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: had to guess what type of players or what type 285 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: of defens coach all Brick would bring to New York 286 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: with head coach Robert Solid, what would you say, he's 287 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: gonna on and play with speed? You know, we heard 288 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: a lot about fast and physical down here when they 289 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: first got here, and uh, you know, uh that's gonna 290 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: be you know that was because you know, you had 291 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: the speed teams here and the dog teams down here. Uh, 292 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: you know with the Saints and you know, uh the 293 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: path Thurs and you know Tampa Bay. You had a 294 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: lot of speed in the NFC South. I think they're 295 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: gonna have to do um, you know in New England 296 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: and when in the ANFC East teams you all play 297 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: or you know, more traditional a little bit more you know, 298 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: standard power teams. You don't really have the the speed 299 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: track meet type team. So I'm thinking he can. He's 300 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: gonna be able to get back to his four three 301 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: cover three uh roots, you know, kind of you know, 302 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: emmanating from the legion of Boom in Seattle, that whole 303 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: operation that him and Quinn tried to bring down here 304 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: and at some speed to it. So that's what I'm 305 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: thinking you all are headed for. And you know, mixture 306 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: that mixed that in with what Salo was doing with 307 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: the forty Niners. You know, he had a pass rush, 308 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 1: which you know that would be new for Jeff Obrick 309 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: to get a pass rushing into New York like Robert 310 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: Salo had in San Francisco. Yeah, specifically, do you think 311 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: the Jets like most teams and you just articulated right there, 312 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,959 Speaker 1: everybody's looking for a great edge pass rusher. But when 313 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: you move from a three for to four or three 314 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 1: are you looking for more speed on the outside? And 315 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: then you talked about Atlanta's linebackers. The emphasis there and 316 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: player acquisition was speed correct and then on the outside 317 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: you want those long rangey cornerbacks right yeah, you know 318 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: the you would two thirty pounds you know when we 319 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: you know that that was too light. I mean David 320 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: Fulcher used to play safety at two forty. So it's 321 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: a new way of looking at you know, guys that 322 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: would have been safeties are now a linebacker. So people 323 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: a people are looking at that, you know, and they 324 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: want the corners to slow the receivers up. The corners 325 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,239 Speaker 1: can't jim the receivers. That's gonna you know, mess up 326 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: the whole pass defense. And we saw that here. Um 327 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: edge rushers. You gotta have, um, they they look for 328 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: a combo. You gotta have the guys that can set 329 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: the edge in the run game that are gonna get 330 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 1: pushed around. So they gotta be a little bit bigger 331 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: than your two forty two fifty pass rushers. So you 332 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: need a couple of the two eighty guys to hold 333 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 1: up and then maybe you can rotate and bring in 334 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: some speed rushers and pass the situations that That's what 335 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: they tried to do here. Just finding the right mixture 336 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: of players just wasn't very you know, it just didn't 337 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: work out for should Quinn and Williams be very excited 338 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: about All Bricks edition and Robert Salaz considering they're gonna 339 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: go to the four three? And we saw what a 340 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: guy who like who is this talented as Grady Jared 341 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 1: did in that system, And now Quinn and Williams really 342 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 1: took off in his second season. It seems like the 343 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: sky might be the limit move into this system. Yeah, 344 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Quinnin and you know, we saw 345 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: him a lot down here in the SEC and the 346 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: SEC uh and was you know, it's tough. It's tough, 347 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: you know, making that jump to the pros and the 348 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: trenches and it takes a little while. So yeah, this year, 349 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: his third year in the league, should be very good. 350 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: They you know, they'll move him around and give him 351 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 1: some matchups. At least they did that was Grady and uh, 352 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: you know that worked out for him. He's gonna need 353 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 1: a thirty person next to him, Tyler Davidson did that here. 354 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: That's you know, one of the good things they had 355 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: is the interior that defense was stout. So if he's 356 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: got somebody playing next to him, you know, they you know, 357 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: won't be afraid to run him on some stunts, you know, uh, 358 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: you know, maybe run him on some twists with the 359 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: end and so forth, and try to get him into situations, 360 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 1: you know, where he can maximize and show his talent. 361 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: Break stuff from d lead As all ways, and a 362 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: couple of things really stand out to me. The first 363 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: thing is speed, because that's something that coach Solid said 364 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: he wanted to bring to this Jets defenses. Speed and 365 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: when d Leeds talking about Jeff Albrigg and the speed 366 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,719 Speaker 1: that he had in the NFC South on the Falcons, 367 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: feels like that's a good marriage. And furthermore, it feels 368 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: like the Jets are in the market for speed. Yeah, 369 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: and we've been talking about it, right. We discussed the 370 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: jets nineteen unrestricted free agents last week and I believe 371 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,479 Speaker 1: twelve hour on the defensive side of the ball. So 372 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 1: one of the most significant transitions when you think about 373 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: the new defensive system is you're going from a three 374 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: four base front to a four three. So you got 375 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: the defensive ends and d led talked about you need 376 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: edge rushers who not only have explosion, but can hold 377 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: up in the run game. Then you need linebackers who 378 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: can go sideline the sideline think about coverage linebackers when 379 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: you make that transition to the war three and then 380 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: on the outside, if you're gonna play a zone front 381 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 1: of a zone coverage excuse me, if you're gonna play 382 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: cover three cover two. A lot of times, what we've 383 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: seen from uh the cornerbacks in the system in the 384 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: past long range e types, most notably of course Richard Sherman, 385 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: but again Atlanta over the years when that team was 386 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: really good under Dan Quinn and company, when they advanced 387 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl, that team got all over the 388 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: place and they had speed at every level of the defense. 389 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: And as we inched closer to free agency, it's less 390 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: than a month away. We're gonna talk about the different 391 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: positions and maybe potential fits for the Jets based on scheme. 392 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: But I do think that when you look at the 393 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: potential list of free agents, there's a good junk that 394 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,479 Speaker 1: get after the quarterback, and there's a good chunk of speed, 395 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: not only on defense but offense as well. But that's 396 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: for another conversation. But schematically, you're right, it's it's a 397 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: new look system. The Jets have been a three four 398 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: for what what would you say, predominantly since two thousand, 399 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen? Is that right? Well, you gotta go back, 400 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: and then let's go back through the head coaches. Right, 401 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: So obviously prior to Greg Williams being here, um with 402 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: Adam Gatee, and you go back and you think about 403 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: Todd Bowls, primarily you run in the three four front. Uh. 404 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: Prior to Todd Bowles you go to Rex Ryan, of course, 405 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: and you're thinking about the three four front. And then 406 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: you think, prior to Rex Ryan, Eric Mangini at three 407 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: four front. So you gotta go back to HERM Edwards 408 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: if you really think about running a traditional four three 409 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: al Right, just this is why I brought it up 410 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: because it's been a while since the Jets have run 411 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: a traditional four three defense, and it's gonna be fascinating 412 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 1: for me and I think fans to to see what 413 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: types of players the Jets will target in free agency, 414 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: no matter what wave of free agency, or the draft 415 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 1: or the entire offseason. It is because you do need 416 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: a different skill set when you're a four three end 417 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: compared to a three four end. And I think that, 418 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: you know, I think that the Jets, we've talked about it. 419 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 1: They're they're in a good spot because they have a 420 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 1: lot of money to spend. A lot of teams are 421 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: not in that situation. I mean, d Orlando lad Better 422 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: said the Falcons are twenty million dollars over the cap. 423 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: So that's a team that could because you're playing, you're 424 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: paying a quarterback. You're paying a quarterback big money right now. 425 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: Very good point. And the Falcons also released a couple 426 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: of guys last week to try to recoup some money. 427 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: But the reason why I'm bringing this up is because 428 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: there will be teams like the Falcons who cut different players. 429 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: So the free agency pool, I think it's gonna be 430 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: very unique. With a blend of expiring contracts and players 431 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: that had to be cap casualties, where maybe in a 432 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: typical year that would not be the case. I think 433 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: the Jets have a good story to uh Sale's connection 434 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: with the San Francisco forty Niners. People talk about that, 435 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: They rave about his connection Albrick, similar background as far 436 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: as the way he could relate to players, and really 437 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: an interesting career. He grew up in northern California. Uh. 438 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: He went to high school at Live Oak and the 439 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: nickname of that high school team was the Acorns. The 440 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: cheer for the Acorns was Let's go Nuts. Uh. He 441 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: went to Yeah about that one, let On Stern a 442 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: little bit collegiately, and then ended up at Hawaii. We 443 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: talked about him becoming a third round pick of the 444 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: forty Niners. So that was the team he grew up 445 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: loving and his favorite player, Jeff albricks favorite player Ronnie Lott. 446 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: Ronnie Lott of course Hall of Fame safety uh most 447 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: notably playing days with the San Francisco forty Niners. But 448 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: he did have some time with the Jets at the 449 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: end of his career, and then all Brick coaching the 450 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: collegiate level with the u c l A and then 451 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: uh getting his start like we talked about with Pete 452 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: Carroll and company with the Seattle Seahawks and then jumping 453 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: over ultimately with the Atlanta Falcons. But people talk about 454 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: just what he does in the way he's been able 455 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: to just teach players, and you know, it's a different 456 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 1: old school football, old school mentality, old school ways. All 457 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: Brick what he was raised on. He knows that doesn't 458 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: work anymore, and uh, he's been able to adapt over 459 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: the years, and he and the players raved about him 460 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 1: in Atlanta and they had a lot of success there. 461 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: Now it's gonna be what's gonna happen with the Jets 462 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: because you're gonna have new wrinkles on defense. Solid brings 463 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: his system. All Brick comes over and he's got some ideas, 464 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: so you're gonna have different flavors and think sometimes people 465 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: try to make it too easy, right, we try to 466 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 1: peg these guys and say, well, this is their system 467 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: and this is what they're going to run. Just's gonna 468 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: play man coverage. I'm not saying they're playing man coverage 469 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: every down next season, but these guys are going to 470 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: change things up and when we talked to, uh, the 471 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: Orlando talked about against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Blitz packages, 472 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: the exotic looks that All Brick and Raheem Morris through 473 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: at them. And then uh, you know, we've talked for 474 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: weeks now about Salah how he was able to adapt 475 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: and change his system to the personnel last year when 476 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 1: the forty Niners had so many injuries. So these guys 477 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 1: um have been able to make transitions throughout their careers. 478 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: And the one the couple of things they have in 479 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: common is they get the bust out of players. Uh, 480 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: they are able to adapt, and also they have this 481 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 1: mentality of mindset to all Gas, no Break, They're gonna 482 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 1: go at it. And Brick is the guy who brings 483 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: the juice every day, but also very calm teachers who 484 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: get their point across and want every player who play 485 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 1: for them to have success. I mean that those are 486 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,719 Speaker 1: the common threads between Saleh and all Brick and Uh. 487 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: You know, I think if you're Jets fan, you can't 488 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: wait to see it all on fold. All I can 489 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: say is all Gas, no Break and let's go nuts 490 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: are too great mantras to have in Florim Park for 491 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 1: the Jets. That's all we have on this edition of 492 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: the Official Jets Podcast powered by AWS. Next week, we're 493 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: talking about Mike Laflour and what this Jets offense will 494 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: look like.
