WEBVTT - The EA Podcast: Live at the Combine - Day 1 0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:14.120 Good afternoon from Indianapolis, America. Allen here joined alongside by 0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:18.040 the New York Post Brian Costello. The two thousand seventeen 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.919 NFL Combine is officially underway. Because what do you think 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:27.880 about this new environment because we are at the convention center. Uh. 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:31.280 In years past, we were packed like sardines over at 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:33.879 Lucas Oil. It just keeps getting bigger. It feels like 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.680 every year there's more and more media covering this. It's amazing, 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:39.040 you know. And now they've gotten as a bigger room 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:41.320 and bigger you know, more space a little bit and 0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:43.120 moved us out of the stadium, which I think is better. 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.200 But it's just amazing how many people cover this thing 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:48.400 every year and how many more there are every year 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:51.239 covering it. And the thing that's going to change this 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:54.080 year is that the fans are gonna be making their 0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:59.720 way through here uh tomorrow, actually workouts beginning and this 0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:03.640 is the NFL's fan experience here in Indianapolis. And you 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:05.840 folks can't see this at home, but you'll be able 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:07.840 to check this out later on New York dot Com 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.920 and all our social media platforms. Is that fans can 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.760 go to the bench. proNTs area. Take a look at that. 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.080 They can run the forty yard dash, they can test 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:20.520 their verticals, um in the vertical jump area. This is 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:25.319 a massive, massive undertaking here in India. Will you be 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.559 doing the bench dresser? You go for the fans. I'd 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:31.559 like to for jets dot com. Right, let's do about 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.440 four or five times. What do you think about that? 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.560 You look get a good shape. Now you do some 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.200 cross fit yourself. So I don't think I could do 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:43.479 it now, I don't think I could do it. Um. Obviously, Uh, 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:48.880 nin jetson was very busy off season, as we expected, 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.640 uh Todd Bowls and like Macagnum, we're supposed to be 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.800 at the podium here at the convention Convention Center today. 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:59.960 Unfortunately that's not taking place, so uh they will act 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:04.520 talk to the reporters probably tomorrow, hopefully tomorrow tom all 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.840 and then we'll carry that live. But first things first, 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:12.919 cause the jets number of prominent offseason moves here, uh 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:17.520 and most recently releasing the roll rivas. Yeah, you know, 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.120 I think every winter your kind of condition and used 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.640 to this. Now that there's gonna be cuts for the 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.359 salary cap reasons. But these are some big names, you know, 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.480 you talk about the Roll revis, talking about Nick Mangold. 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:29.320 These are guys who are probably having the Ring of 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.960 Honor someday. You know. Rivas is twenty four, I think 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.560 could be retired someday. And you see those names getting caught. 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.960 It's still startling, even though we kind of have been 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:39.960 talking about it for a little while that it might happen. 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.360 It's just amazing to think about it, and amazing to 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.720 think about how much transition has happened with this team 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.440 in the last few years and to see those guys go. 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.320 You know, I think it's just startling to see the 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.679 names and see it actually happened. And you know, the 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.680 Jets are clearly turning the roster over like mccagney is, 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.639 you know, turning the page on the last two years 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.280 of what he's done. And I think it's you know, 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.919 this is the signal that the times are changing. We're 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:08.280 on the Jets right now. Revus Scots last year just 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.400 the one takeaway, But in two thousand fifteen, after he 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:13.960 came back to the Jets, they actually had a career 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.600 high nine takeaways. And when you look at the Jets 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:21.000 defensively in two thousand sixteen, that was the one thing 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.120 that Todd Bolts continued to say that that was the 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.200 biggest difference yet our unit year to year was the 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.359 lack of take week. Yeah, they just couldn't get the 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:30.400 takeaways in two thousand sixteen. I think when you look 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.520 at the signing of Reevus and two thousand fifteen, it's 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.200 easy to say it was a mistake. But in my eyes, 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.480 I understand what the Jets were thinking. They were coming 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.680 off a top season in two thousand fourteen, they had 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.360 regime change. It was a way to get a big 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.920 name in here and to give the fans something to 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.040 feel good about. And he was coming off a good season, 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:49.440 and he had a good season in two thousand and 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.880 fifteen for the most part. So I understand it, And 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.120 you know, I think ultimately, you know, when we get 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.720 five years away or ten years away and the Jets 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.920 are honoring throughout vous, no one's gonna remember two thousand sixteen. 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.840 They're gonna remember two thousand nine. They're gonna remember the 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.600 interception in San Diego. They're gonna remember the interception in 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.960 September eleven, two thousand eleven against Dallas. They're gonna remember 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.880 all those great memories of Revis and not necessarily some 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.720 of the struggles he had last year. Woody Johnson said 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.880 in a statement that, hey, listen, Darrell Revis home is 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:22.000 always going to be here with the Jets. You also 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:26.320 mentioned Nick Mangold, a guy who the Jets draft had 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:29.880 played eleven seasons here with the Green and White, seven 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:35.320 Pro Bowls, um a number of All Pro appearances or honors. 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:39.640 I should say as well, uh, an elite center, and 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.880 that's a tough one too. And then Mike mckangnon said, 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.640 with that decision, tough business decision, Yeah, you know, and 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.880 I think with Mangold, it's funny. As a center, it's 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.159 hard to appreciate that they're not in the highlights. You know, 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.080 you don't see a lot of film on them on TV. 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.839 You don't know what's going on necessarily, you know, in 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:01.040 the trenches. To me, the moment I realized what Mangol 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.039 meant this team was when he wasn't on the field. 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.559 You know, I remember in two thousand eleven he missed 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.200 two games and it was the first time he had 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:11.560 missed games, and things just weren't operating well for the offense, 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.400 and there were Blitzer blitzers coming from everywhere, and Mark 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.560 Sanchez was ducking and diving in Baltimore remember a night game, 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.640 and you know it was like wow, you know, Mangol 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.880 might be the m v P the way they couldn't 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.200 handle it without him. And so you know, he talked 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.840 to his teammates and he talked to the quarterbacks he's 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:32.919 played with. He can't overstate the importance he had to 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.400 this team. He really was the brains of the offense 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.880 on the field, and he had some young quarterbacks to 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.719 work with through the years with Sanchez coming in Gino Smith, 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.440 and you know he was kind of a guy who 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.560 guided them when they were in their early days and 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:50.359 helped them through it. So you know, I think, um, 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.080 the time had come clearly. You know, they had to 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.080 make this decision, was a business decision. But Mango is 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.080 another one who's going to be clearly honored by the 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.760 Jets someday and you know will always be I think 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.679 a favorite for the Jets. Yeah too, future ring honor 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:06.640 and ductees, no doubt about it. In Mangold and Reeth 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:10.240 this uh two thousand six, the Jets drafted the Brickshaw 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:13.440 Ferguson out of Virginia number four overall that came back 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:18.080 picks later in the first round, took a center at 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:21.560 Ohio State by the name of Nick Mangold, and uh wow, 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.200 those two had a hell of a run. We know 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:31.040 the Brickshaw Ferguson obviously retired before the two thousand and 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.560 sixteen campaign and Nick Mangold becomes a free agent, and 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:38.839 opinion he said very clearly that we'll see where the 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.080 future holds. It looks like we'll be playing against Yeah, 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:42.840 I think he'll play somewhere. And if you look at it, 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:44.560 you know, in two thousand and six they take the 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.480 Britishaw and Mangold. Two thousand and seven they take Durell 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.240 and David and that was really the foundation of then 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.600 that run to the playoffs in two thousand nine, two 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.800 thousand ten, and those really good teams. And I think 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.360 you know the Jets, you always hear people saw built 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.760 through the draft. Build that was truly building through the draft, 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.520 and then you supplement around it. You know, I think 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.560 from Mike McCadney, now when you're looking at it, turning 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.040 the page, now, that's what you want to duplicate. You 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.600 want to try to get two guys two years back 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.440 back to back that are gonna be you know, ten 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.200 year players for you. That's the way it works. You know. 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.960 Now we can take the questions. Uh, we're live here 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.560 in Indianapolis at the Convention Center, Eric Ellen joined alongside 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:28.080 by the New York Post Briant Costello, the two thousand 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:33.720 seventeen NFL Combine underway. In addition to uh Reeve the Mangold, 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.440 the Jets also let the number two score in their 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:41.600 franchises history go and Nick Folk, who had a tremendous 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:46.200 run himself. Don't underestimate his importance, not only on the field, 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:49.760 his game winning kicks and uh, he had a tremendous 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.240 year last year, but the guy, it was just like 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:55.000 Nick and Durrell have done some good things in the 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:56.920 community as well during the time here. Yeah, that one 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.120 surprised me a little more than Mangold and Reeves. I 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.440 kind of saw those coming. Folk. I didn't see coming 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.600 as much as cap number wasn't as large, but you know, yeah, 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:06.760 I mean the game winning kicks, you go through them. 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:10.440 And he started thinking about you know, in hearing you 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:14.000 know right down the road, um is the biggest one probably, 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:18.800 But then against Dallas. We talked about Darrell's interception set up. Folks. 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.080 You know, crazy night at MetLife and you know, one 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.400 of the loudest nights I think I remember at MetLife Stadium. 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.520 So you know, Folk had a really good run for 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.360 the Jets. You don't see kickers have runs like this often. 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.200 So I think the Jets will miss him, and you know, 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.640 maybe fans, you know, I don't understand how important he was. 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:37.959 And you right, he was a good guy in locker 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:40.800 room to Bruno Jackomani another good guy in the locker room. 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.120 The first two years here with the Jets. He started 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.880 thirty two games. A back ailment, uh really set him back. 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.040 Last year's limited five games and he couldn't over come 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.440 at the Jets let him go. Yeah, you know, and 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:55.600 Brenda I thought brought some toughness to the line. He 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:57.160 was always a good guy in the locker room. He 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.679 was fun to talk to, funny guy. You know, maybe 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:01.679 he go a little too much toughness with the penalties 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.400 from time to time. But you know, I think, you know, 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.199 the writing was on the wall this year with Brenta's 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.400 back that that's a tough injury to come back from. 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.760 When you're three pound offensive time and back injury. So 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.080 you know, I think, um, you know, he did some 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.000 good things for the Jets at the time he was there, 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:19.480 but you know, it was clearly time to move on 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.640 for them. So what do these releases mean for a 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:24.960 number of the young guys on this roster? And we 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.320 just talked about Branald jack Amenia. How about a guy 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.640 like Brandon Shell. Could he be in line to be 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:33.199 the starting right teckle? The Jets release the roll read this, 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.760 does that mean, Hey, we're gonna be expecting more out 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.320 of a guy like Justin Burrs next year? And then 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:43.040 Nick Mangold went out last year. I thought West Johnson 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.959 came in and played pretty warm song. Yeah. I thought 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:48.520 West did a good job to last year, and I 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.720 thought I could see kind of as the season was 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.640 going on, I felt like the Jets were seeing what 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:56.280 he could do, and that factored into the Mangold decision, like, hey, 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:57.920 maybe we can live with West at center. So I 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.200 think he's gonna get a good crack at that and 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.800 the other guys. I think now two seventeen is about 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.600 let's see what these young guys can do that they've drafted. 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.640 You know they've Mike mccagnell's hob Bowls and Wedy Johnson 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.040 repeatedly we're gonna build through the draft, built the draft. 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.800 It gets tedious when the press conference and hear it 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:16.880 over and over again, but it's truly what you know 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.600 they're trying to do. Well. Now it's time to see 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.760 what they've built I think in these last two years, 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:23.319 and then this year what they can get in the draft. 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.480 So Ken Brandon shall slip in there and be the 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.400 right tackle. Can Justin Burrs be the quarnerback, Is Lorenzo 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.079 Maldy gonna take that next step and kind of solidify 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.240 himself as that pass rusher on the outside. Of course, 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.240 they have the quarterbacks, Bryce Petty, Christian Hackenburg. Can one 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:40.880 of them emerge? You know? Uh? So I think now 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.440 is the time to see. Let's let's see what mccagnet 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.240 has done in these first two drafts, and then I 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.280 think this year they're gonna be looking to add to 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.360 that with you know, at least two or three guys 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.080 I think in those first few picks that I can 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.720 play right away. What are you most interested to hear 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.719 from both Mike mcagnet and Todd Bowls when they go 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:02.880 to vodingum uh tomorrow. I'm interested to hear, you know, philosophically, 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.200 what they're thinking, how honest they'll be if they think, 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:09.280 you know, we've heard competitive rebuild for the last two years, Well, 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.480 is now a true rebuild? Is now they're really going 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:17.520 at it? Um, you know they The most interesting thing 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.560 to me right now is the two tracks long term 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.560 and short term. For Todd this is year three. Traditionally 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.000 in the NFL, that's you know, coaches gotta gotta get 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:27.480 to the playoffs. Coaches have to do big things in 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:29.640 year three? Will he be able to do that? If 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.880 the Jets are so focused on going young and starting 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.560 to turn the page towards you know, the next wave here, 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:38.760 it's an interesting balance, and so I'm kind of curious 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.520 to hear that. Um. You know, they've had some time 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.800 to reflect on the season and now it's time to 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.800 start looking aheads to two thousand and seventeen. I'm always 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:51.040 interested to hear about quarterbacks. What's the planet quarterback? I 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.280 think that's probably the biggest question on everyone's minds. Um, 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.440 you know, which was is it? Which isn't unusual with 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.200 this team? Every year it feels like there's some kind 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.760 of question with quarterback. Last year was could they get 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:02.959 a deal done with Fits? And now this here is 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:06.120 who's going to be the next quarterback? Yeah, you mentioned 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.280 Hackenburg red short season. I think that was the plan 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.480 all along, if you're listening to those guys even before 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:16.040 the season started. And then Petty got his feet when don't. Unfortunately, 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.640 uh suffered the torn laborer and it's a left shoulder, 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.959 non throwing shoulder, so he should be back. So you 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.040 got two young guys on the roster and then uh 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:29.520 Ryning Fitzpantri and Gino Smith both on restrict to free agents. Actually, 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.520 Genal spoke DOWNFL Network this week and he said he's 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:34.760 keeping all options on the table. Yeah, you know, and 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.000 with Gino, I think that's a situation where I don't 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.240 think that's kind of probably the first choice for either side. 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:42.320 But I do think if the Jets look around and 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.440 um don't see what, don't see anything they really like, 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.320 And I think if Gino looks around and isn't getting 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.040 the offers he likes, they might come back together and 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.760 make a deal. So I can see that happening. Uh, 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.800 for sure, they're with Gino because there's a couple of 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:59.800 Twitter questions here. Um Curtis asked, what does the camp 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:03.320 like right now for the Jet Well, after the Revas 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.679 release becomes official, I think they're gonna be about twenty 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.079 seven millions under the cap um, you know, and they 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.120 can still create some more space if they make a 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.640 few more moves. So I think, you know, they'll have 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:15.800 enough room to to make it moves in free agency here, 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:20.720 that's for sure. And Daniel asked specifically how much the 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.760 Putney release of Revas. How much money did that free up? 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.880 For that free up nine point three million dollars, Drew 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.120 was scheduled to make fifteen point three in two thousand 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.920 and seventeen, six of its guaranteed so nine point three 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:35.679 gets cleared up by that one. Um. I and to 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:39.720 ask you about the coaching changes year. Obviously, Kevin Green 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.760 comes in the coach outside linebackers, le Roy Glover assistant 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.880 defensive line coach. Jets have a new offensive coordinator and 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.840 John Morton and uh new quarterbacks coach, and Jeremy Bates 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.599 is having back for a second stint uh here with 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.760 the Jets. Yeah, a lot of turnover on the staff, 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.439 and you know, I think it's gonna be interesting to 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.600 see what John Morton does. I don't think one really knows. 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.920 You know, he's never been a coordinator before. He comes 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.040 from New Orleans. He's been with Shawan Paynton, been with 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:08.040 Jim Harbaugh in San Francisco. So those are obviously good 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:11.080 offensive minds, and we'll see what he brings. And um, 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:14.120 you know, defensively, I'm interested in what Kevin Green does. 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.440 I've heard good things. Actually talked to a j Hawk 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:18.400 a few weeks ago and he said, you know, wait 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.080 to see this guy in the field and the energy 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.600 he brings. I think the Jets could use that. They 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.160 were kind of a mellow group last year, and I 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:26.760 think they could use somebody that's kind of a little 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:28.960 bit crazy out in the practice field and bring some energy. 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.560 That's uh, the New York Posts. Bryan Costello, you can 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.960 follow him obviously at the post and it'll be uh 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:39.560 covering the combine wire to wire tomorrow top bowls and 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.520 Mike mccagnan at the podium here we're gonna bring in 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:47.640 a Monday morning quarterbacks. Albert Brier here momentarily. Thanks guys 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:53.640 so much for joining us, and uh listen, um, the 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:58.840 player workouts in Indianapolis begin tomorrow. Like I said, Bowls 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:04.520 and mccagnan will speak to the media Friday, a Thursday, 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.440 excuse me, and then the quarterbacks here in Indy uh 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:12.520 will uh talk as well. Um. We're here at the 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:17.200 Indianapolis Convention Center at the two thousand seventeen NFL combine underway. 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:20.280 He just heard from the New York Post. Brian Costello 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:24.400 momentarily will be joined by Albert Brier of Monday Morning 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.880 quarterback dot Com. Of course, Albert, thank you so much 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:32.720 for joining us. How are you enjoying the new game? Oh, 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:34.840 it's good, It's good. It's good. You know, it's kind 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:38.760 of an opportunity to, you know, work on building something. 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.840 And I think that the model, uh, you know for 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.720 what what we have is something it's effective. I think 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:46.880 we've seen it work. You know, there are places I mean, 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.200 you know, in essence, Barston was a vertical, you know 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.760 what I mean, like in uh, you know, obviously Bill 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.040 Simmons has had some success with it, both the ESPN 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.480 and now on his own with the Ringer. Um, you 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.040 know what's done a great job with the vertical, Yahoo 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.920 and so um it's been a great opportunity to kind 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.680 of get in and try to help build something where 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:07.440 you know, I think that the it's in a place 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.400 where the business is going. How long has it been now, 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.520 and what are some of the what are some of 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:14.720 the projects that you're currently working on? Yeah, I mean 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.480 I like right now. I mean we've got a lot 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.320 of stuff going on. But I you know, I'll have 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.240 a story up tomorrow. And Joe Mixon and um, you 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:25.960 know what the who who he is? You know? And 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:27.960 I think that if he had been they hadn't put 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.120 the rule and to prevent him from coming. And obviously 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.920 Chad Kelly and to Mario uh string Fellow were also 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:37.000 affected by that. Uh, this would be Joe Mixon week 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.520 because the video that came out in December and so, um, 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.160 you know, I I talked to Joe last week. I've 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:45.400 talked to a couple of people at Oklahoma, talked a 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:48.200 couple of people around the league, and um, just trying 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:50.440 to get an assessment on on on who he is 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.440 and what teams think of him, and um, you know, 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:55.280 I think once we get out of here, you know, 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.120 Oklahoma's Pro Days next week and so that's gonna be 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:00.400 a very very big story and so that that's the 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:02.760 next thing that's uh, that's gonna go up from a 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.120 power teams approaching to Joe Mixing. Like you said, three 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.560 in the top college prospects are here, and Mixing is 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:11.720 one of the better players there was one of the 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:16.080 better players in college football. But uh, obviously, uh yeah, 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:20.040 it's situation there Uh hit a woman. It was on 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:24.520 tape that was released and Uma, he was not invited 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:26.840 here to the combin. Yeah, and you know, I think 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.200 that a big part of it from the week's perspective. 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.160 I mean, they they've turned this into a TV show, 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:32.960 and so they didn't want the TV show this week 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.320 to be Joe Mixing Week, which you know we've seen 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.040 that in the past with guys like Cam Newton and 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:41.080 man Tito and Johnny Manzel were one personality kind of 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.800 like that that becomes what the week's all about. And so, um, 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:47.840 I think they wanted to and they actively wanted to 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.080 avoid that, and that's I think the real reason why 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:52.760 he's not here. Um, look what he did. I mean, 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.280 there's no question it's horrific. You know, in that video 0:17:55.480 --> 0:18:00.480 is absolutely positively revolting to watch and so jarring anytime 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:02.800 you actually see it. And that's the issue. You know, 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:06.560 it's because they had you know, in July of two 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:10.960 thousand and fourteen that happened, and you know, I you know, 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.840 I talk him to people around him like, um, Now, 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.239 he stayed there in Oklahoma and it was a very 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:21.280 tough environment obviously, and um, you know it would have 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:23.040 been easy for him because his losses and leave. I 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:24.760 think the teams like the fact that he stuck it 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.560 out there. Um, you can question whether or not Oklahoma 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:29.280 should kept him, but that's not a kid, you know 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:33.480 what I mean. And so there's um, there's just I 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:38.280 think when you look at it, there's a he he 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.080 had kind of moved past it, you know, as a 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.560 college player, and he'd gotten to the point where he 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:46.040 was well beyond where um you know where that was, 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:48.600 where that was affecting him all that much. And then 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:50.879 the video kind of gave it new life. And it's 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:53.040 a good example of how video changes everything. We certainly 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:55.159 saw it in the Ray Rice case. Um. You know, 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:57.320 there have been other cases like Tyree Kale where you 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.800 didn't see the same level of attention um on an 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:04.280 incident because there was right and so I think the 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:06.040 question becomes, I mean, they're gonna be certain teams that 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:07.680 can't touch him, you know, with the Giants and the 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.719 in the you know, the Ravens, teams that have been 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:14.000 through that probably can't touch him. But I think a 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:16.400 lot of teams look at and say, we think he's 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:19.920 learned his lesson. Um, what he did horrible, Um, But 0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:21.680 you know, he did all the right things for the 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.720 last three years. And that happened on the day after 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:28.040 his eighteenth birthday, and we think he deserves a second chance. 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.800 And I look, here's the bottom line. In the NFL. 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:34.760 The second chances are a function of talent, and if 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.280 this is an average player, he may not get a 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:39.320 shot in the NFL. This is not an average player. 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.280 I mean, this is like a first round type of back. 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:43.679 And so somebody I think is gonna be sitting there 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:45.840 on the third, fourth round. Besides, we're Sports Takes a 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:50.359 ask Overt Brier from Monday Morning Quarterback joining us right 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:53.160 now on New York Just dot com and Facebook Live 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:57.239 teams Facebook a page.
