1
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: It's always a joy here on the Official Jets Podcast

2
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: when we are joined by ESPN's Adam Schefter. Adam, so

3
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: great to see you down here at the league meetings

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: of Orlando, Florida.

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 2: Nice to see you, Eric, Nice to be with you again.

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: How is everything going for you progressing here this offseason?

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 3: Well, you don't have an offseason.

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: It never stops.

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 4: The league gets to be more and more relentless. I

10
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 4: think we're through the thicker free agency. That's a good thing.

11
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 4: Jets have made some moves and now I think it's

12
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 4: on to the draft for most people.

13
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: What do you make of some of those moves that

14
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: juts GM Joe Douglas has made.

15
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 4: They've added a lot of really compelling players, and I

16
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 4: think you could ask this question for almost all of them.

17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: Can they and will they stay healthy?

18
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 4: And if you could tell me right now that all

19
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 4: these guys are gonna stay healthy this year, then they're

20
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 4: gonna have a great year of the Jets.

21
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 2: And if they can't stay healthy, they're not.

22
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: Would you have been surprised if I told it before

23
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: free agency started in the league year commenced that the

24
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: Jets were going to land John Simpson, then trade for

25
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: Morgan Moses and then get Tyron Smith at the end

26
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: of that, well, I would.

27
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 4: Have been surprised probably by those three names, but I

28
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 4: would not have been surprised at the effort and energy

29
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 4: and resources put into the offensive line. Look, we knew

30
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 4: that they were going to do something to beef up

31
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 4: the offensive line and improve.

32
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: It, right no matter what.

33
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 4: Now, it was just a combination or question of what

34
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 4: was going to be the combination that they were going

35
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 4: to go get.

36
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: And I didn't know that that would.

37
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 4: Be the trio Morgan Moses, Tyron Smith and John Simpson,

38
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 4: but that's what it turned out to be. And again,

39
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 4: if Tyron Smith is healthy and he hasn't been, that's

40
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 4: a great move. Morgan Moos has been pretty reliable and

41
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 4: John Simpson'll be reliable, but Tyron Smith, we don't know.

42
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 4: Mike Williams is coming off an acl you think he's

43
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 4: going to be healthy, but we still have to see

44
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers coming.

45
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: Off the corner of torn Achilles.

46
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 4: We think he's gonna be healthy, but you have to

47
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 4: wait and see, and so there's a lot of wait

48
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 4: and sees.

49
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: And while you wait and see, you won.

50
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 4: Well, if they're playing these guys have a chance to

51
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 4: be really good and really competitive, and if one or

52
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 4: two or three of them are not playing well, you

53
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 4: saw what happens last year when there's injuries, right.

54
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: Did you like the move picking up Mike Williams, the

55
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: guy who's been one of the best deep threats in

56
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: the National Football League when's been on the field.

57
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: When he's healthy, he's tremendous.

58
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 4: And I had a chance to speak to him Saturday

59
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 4: from my podcast, and he believes he's going to be

60
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 4: ready for opening Day.

61
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: He's excited about the idea.

62
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 4: He's still hadn't spoken to Aaron Rodgers on Saturday, so said, hey,

63
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 4: I still had his number, I would give it to you.

64
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 3: What do you make of his personality? He's so engaging,

65
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: isn't he?

66
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: My nice guy?

67
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, very nice guy, like I said, first time I

68
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 4: talked him at length like that, And he's excited about

69
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 4: the idea of being in New York. He loved his

70
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 4: ham and egg and cheese sandwich.

71
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: How about that.

72
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: He's looking forward to more of.

73
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 4: Them as we talked about the podcast, and he was

74
00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 4: a very nice, engaging guy.

75
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 3: You'll like this.

76
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: I actually went to my local pizza place the other

77
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: day and then said, hey, why are you doing the

78
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: egg sandwiches? How about the pizza?

79
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 3: Yeah?

80
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of different things you could do.

81
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, no doubt about it.

82
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: You know you want to come to New York, You're

83
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: not going to lack for good food. Yeah, that's true.

84
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: New York and New Jersey.

85
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 4: I include New York metropolitan area.

86
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: I want to be very clear.

87
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: Of course Long Island the city I mean in New Jersey. Yeah,

88
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: everybody's included Aaron Rodgers, like you said, forty you're gonna

89
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: enter a season when he's going to be forty one

90
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: in December. It feels much differently being here at lead

91
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: meetings than it did last spring because we were talking

92
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: about what's going to happen done. Yeah right, that was

93
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: the story. In fact, I remember true story.

94
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 4: I was checking into my hotel room at the Biltmore

95
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 4: in Arizona, and I was walking up the pathway to

96
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 4: get to the room with the Jets general manager Joe Douglas.

97
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: There you go, and who's coming right at us?

98
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 4: And we stop and talk but the Packers general manager

99
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 4: Brian Goodikins. Wow, there was the three of us. As

100
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 4: I was checking into the hotel and I thought, wow,

101
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 4: this is interesting. And obviously the deal got done, if

102
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 4: I remember correctly, two three weeks later, the trade got consummated.

103
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 2: Now, of course tray got consummated.

104
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: And.

105
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 4: It was obviously a huge deal. Obviously a different energy

106
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: around the whole thing. And now the question again, as

107
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 4: we've talked about, is can he stay healthy?

108
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: Can he be healthy? Will he be healthy? If he is,

109
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: he runs it on the field. We were there that night.

110
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 4: And it was unbelievable the energy in the building and

111
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 4: then boom, all that energy was sucked right out of

112
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 4: the building the moment he went down.

113
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: You've been to so many events, what was that night?

114
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: Like September eleventh, There aren't many that have.

115
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 4: Gone that high in emotion, infinished tele And I remember

116
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 4: at the end of the game. You know, I live

117
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 4: in the New York area and I have so many

118
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 4: friends who are Jet fans, diehardship, and they texted me

119
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 4: all excited.

120
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: That they won the game and overtime, and I'm.

121
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 4: Thinking, you don't get it. You won the battle and

122
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,119
Speaker 4: lost the war like it's over.

123
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: It's over.

124
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, you enjoyed tonight because there aren't going to be

125
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 4: many more happy nights in this season, and that was

126
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 4: how I felt that night, and I remember feeling that

127
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 4: as I went on the Late Sports Center with Scott

128
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 4: Van Pelt and getting the word that they believed it

129
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 4: was an achilles and obviously needed the test to confirm

130
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 4: that it was torn, which came back the next morning.

131
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 4: But it was surreal because when he ran out with

132
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 4: that flag on that day, with that energy, it was unbelievable.

133
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 4: And then minutes later he's down and you know that

134
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 4: it's serious, and you're like, man, so just a night

135
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 4: with incredible highs and lows.

136
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: He's always carried such a chip on his shoulder throughout

137
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: his career. What do you think the mentality of the

138
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: mindset's going to be like for him now this time? Right?

139
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 4: Eric, what I would say, I don't really care about

140
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 4: the chip, and the chip has helped him get to

141
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 4: where he is and be who he is, But the

142
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 4: fact of the matter is the chip isn't going to

143
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 4: I don't believe play a part in whether he can

144
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 4: stay on the field, and that's what they need him

145
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 4: to do. They need him to be on the field

146
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 4: and to be healthy, and if he can do that,

147
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 4: then everything's great, and you just want him out there.

148
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 4: You want to see what he can do with this

149
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 4: organization and these players in this offense. And if he

150
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 4: could do that, then that's great. The chip doesn't enter

151
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 4: into that in my mind.

152
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: That's Roberts. Sila is going to be addressed in the

153
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: media at the FC Coach's breakfast here Monday morning. He

154
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: actually talked earlier today and he said that it's been

155
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: a quiet offseason for the Jets.

156
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 2: Would you agree, So far, so good for them.

157
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 4: I mean again, last year, everybody was waiting for them

158
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 4: to trade for Aaron Rodgers, and so now Aaron Rodgers

159
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 4: is there. Now you're waiting to see how they shore

160
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 4: up the positions around Aaron Rodgers.

161
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: And they've done a good job with that.

162
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 4: But with all the respects signing John Simpson and trinding

163
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 4: for Morgan Moses their headlines absolutely, but they're not the

164
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 4: big splash. Oh my god, look what happened here the

165
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 4: way that landing Aaron Rodgers would be.

166
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: So they've done what they're supposed to do.

167
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 4: Joe Douglas has done a nice job adding the pieces

168
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 4: he should and again, can they all stay on the

169
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 4: field and stay healthy.

170
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's somebody so familiar with the deals all throughout

171
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: the league, no surprise. I would imagine the way he

172
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: structured these contracts with some of these guys incentives.

173
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, you know the reason for that, obviously.

174
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 4: I think Aaron Rodgers is the impetus for a lot

175
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 4: of that because they saw what he went through and

176
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 4: they don't want to bring in another veteran have him

177
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 4: go down for injury and be on the hook for

178
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 4: all that money. So the idea is, if they play,

179
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 4: and they play well, they're gonna earn what should be

180
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 4: their salaries. And if they don't play, the Jets have

181
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 4: a little bit of a built in cushion there to

182
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 4: protect themselves in the event that these guys don't play

183
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 4: the extended season.

184
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: That's the idea.

185
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 4: And by the way, well, if Aaron Rodgers is here,

186
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 4: isn't here, would they still be adding Tyron Smith? I

187
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 4: don't know. Would they be structuring his deal, Mike Williams

188
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 4: deal the way they are.

189
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: I don't know. Would Mike Williams come with that Aaron

190
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: Rodgers probably not.

191
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 4: So, you know, it's all stemming from and off of

192
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers, his presence and what he's been through.

193
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: You're hoping he plays seventeen games and the Jets fans

194
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: I would love to see them want to see him

195
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: in the postseason for the first time in green and white.

196
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: What does the player trot thirteen years?

197
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: It's going back to twenty ten the Divisional playoffs, Divisional

198
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: playoffs time when they took down the Patriots Jillett's Stadium.

199
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 2: I remember that game. What do you think?

200
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: God bless you, sir? To Rod Taller. The reason why

201
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: I bring him into the conversation is you said it

202
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: was over after Aaron went down. Do you still like

203
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: the move if Rodgers does have to miss a couple

204
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: games whatever.

205
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: Well, I like Tyrod Taylor.

206
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 4: I think he's a good quarterback and he's never gotten

207
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 4: a fair shake and he's never been able to play

208
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 4: an extended season. I've always felt like he was capable

209
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 4: of doing really good things. But do I think that

210
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 4: Tyrod Taylor can get this team where it wants to go.

211
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: I wonder anybody would, but I don't know.

212
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 4: That he can get this team obviously, as far as

213
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers can.

214
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 2: I mean that just common sense. But Tyro Taylor is

215
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: a good quarterback, and.

216
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: That's a good veteran backup, pickup any news on the

217
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson front. You know, the Jets gave him and

218
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: his team permission to go out there and seek it.

219
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: Trade.

220
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 4: Well, you think at some point in the off season

221
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 4: they're going to move on from him, right, I mean

222
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 4: that seems to be a foregone conclusion. The question is

223
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 4: how and when that comes, and it just hasn't had yet.

224
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 4: And I think you know, there's money involved in there

225
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 4: that I think he's owed four point two million dollars

226
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 4: And we've seen other quarterbacks get traded this offseason. Mac

227
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 4: Jones win for a six and Justin Field's went for

228
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 4: a conditional six, and so I think you begin to

229
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 4: see where the market is and he hasn't really even

230
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 4: accomplished what some of those guys have. So it's just

231
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 4: really I think, you know, we'll see how it plays out.

232
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: We'll see how the draft plays out as well. Yeah,

233
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: what do you make of the changing landscape of the

234
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: FC East? The Bill's got to make some cost cut.

235
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: He moves Miami. I think you would say the same

236
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: category in New England in a period transition.

237
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 4: Well, the division's there if they again, Here's here's the

238
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 4: only thing that I would say to you, if all

239
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 4: these guys stay healthy, yep.

240
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 2: They have a chance to have a good season.

241
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 4: If they don't, it's not going to be the kind

242
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 4: of season that Jet fans want. If you can tell

243
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 4: me Aaron Rodgers is going to play a full year,

244
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 4: not miss any time or any extended time. If you

245
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 4: can tell me Tyron Smith's gonna play a full season

246
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 4: not missing any extended time.

247
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 2: Mike Williams, same thing. Sign me up, Sign everybody up.

248
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 4: They're gonna be good if some of those guys are missing,

249
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 4: all bets are off.

250
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: What are you most looking forward to here this week?

251
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 4: Oh, it's just nice to see people because you know,

252
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 4: I think in the world we live in, you know,

253
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 4: I work out of my home office so often you

254
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 4: don't come face to face very often with a lot

255
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 4: of people. So you have, you know, every organization well

256
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 4: represented here and it's nice to see some of the

257
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: people one final time because I may not see him

258
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 4: again until, you know, Yeah, maybe the summer training camp, maybe.

259
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 2: The drift camp.

260
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 1: You're gonna come to one Jets drive during the summer.

261
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: Right, We'll say, maybe, uh possible.

262
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 4: I never know, like if I'm gonna be out there

263
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 4: I would imagine there's a possibility I'll be out there

264
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 4: for a day.

265
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 3: We'll see.

266
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, we ought to put that on the table. Uh,

267
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: the draft positioning for the Jets. Tenth overall, what do

268
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: you make of where they're at after these first waves

269
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: of free agency.

270
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 4: Well, that's the great part about it, Eric, is that

271
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 4: they address so many needs that they don't have to

272
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 4: come away with anything. Yeah, I mean, in a way,

273
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 4: I don't mind the idea of Hey, if there's a

274
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 4: guy like a JJ McCarthy's still sitting there in Minnesota

275
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 4: or Denver or Las Vegas or somebody wants to come

276
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 4: up and they want to move up to the Jets

277
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 4: spot and the Jets get extra picks, like, nothing wrong

278
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 4: with that too, But they have options and if there's

279
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 4: somebody they love their attend, whether that's one of those

280
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 4: offensive linemen, which I still that's that would be my vote,

281
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 4: an offensive lineman still.

282
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 2: Rock Bowers, whoever it may be.

283
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 4: Whatever they want to do, they're gonna have some good

284
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 4: options and they've taken the pressure off them I think

285
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 4: by what they've done during free agency.

286
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: Oh, finally, it's a great transition by you. Of course.

287
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy you are a Michigan man. Yeah, yeah. What

288
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: do you make of him as an NFL prospect? And

289
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: what's the word right now about a month away from

290
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: the draft.

291
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 4: Well, I think if this is even possible, I think

292
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 4: his stock is rising, which I always laugh. He hasn't

293
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 4: played any games, but I think people have come around

294
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 4: on the fact that they recognize he's a really good

295
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 4: quarterback and he's He's a really positive, upbeat, energetic guy.

296
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 4: He's a guy you want to be around. I personally

297
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 4: like the young man, like he's engaging. He's a pretty

298
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 4: cool guy, and he's a pretty mature guy and he

299
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 4: gets it, I think, and I think other teams are

300
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 4: onto that. And I'm not a Johnny cum lately either.

301
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 4: My college buddies are are on a text chain. I

302
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 4: point this out before I'll point that out again. It's

303
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 4: not gonna be the last time. But our college buddies

304
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 4: were complaining, why is he coming out? I'm like, why

305
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 4: is he coming out?

306
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: Why do you think he's coming out of this?

307
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 4: He's gonna be a mid round pick. I'm like, mid

308
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 4: round pick, He's gonna be a first round pick. And

309
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 4: they said mid round picking me and a ten of

310
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 4: my college buddies, well, one of them. We bet dinner

311
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 4: for the entire group. I said JJ would be a one.

312
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 4: This was in December. The other guy said he would be.

313
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 4: I said, if he goes anywhere too or beyond, I

314
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 4: lose the bet and I buy this group dinner.

315
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: So we have a big dinner. How big you as

316
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 2: a group ten people?

317
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 4: You know it'll be you know, a nice place, not

318
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 4: a cheap dinner. Sure there'll be some drinking going on.

319
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 4: And I feel very confident and comfortable that JJ McCarthy

320
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 4: is going to be buying me and my friend's dinner

321
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 4: courtesy of I'm not going to expose his name. I

322
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 4: won't mention his name right here, but but yeah, one

323
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 4: of my college room mates. I expect us. I expect

324
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 4: him to be buying us dinner.

325
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: Great scening, brother, Eric, Thank you for having me.

326
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 4: I appreciate always a pleasure and continue to enjoy the

327
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 4: off season.

328
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 3: Thanks pleasing.

329
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: We're joining here on Official Jets Podcast by Tom Palissaro

330
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: NFL Networks. Tom Palissaro down in Orlando, Florida the annual

331
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: league meetings. You're brought out the pin strips today looking untackle.

332
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 5: I've learned through the years of this event that we're

333
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 5: in the dark suit generally ends up being a bad move.

334
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 5: Looked like it was gonna be really hot today, but

335
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 5: I was just out there and it's actually very windy,

336
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 5: so might not have mattered. But we're doing the Insiders

337
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 5: live one pm Eastern Time both Monday and Tuesday here

338
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 5: from the league meeting.

339
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: Got great guests lined up, So I don't want to be,

340
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 3: you know, s fitzing all over the place.

341
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: Nice plug. What should we what should we know about

342
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: league rule proposals and what's going to happen?

343
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 5: Well, they were debating them this morning to my knowledge,

344
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 5: check my phone real fast.

345
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 3: I've not yet voted.

346
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 5: You know, both the kickoff and the hip drop, the

347
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 5: swivel hip drop tackle are both.

348
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 3: Going to be debated.

349
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 5: And you know, the the hip drop is such a

350
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 5: priority for the league, and you've heard Roger Goodell say it,

351
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 5: Trey Vinson has said it, Rich McKay has said it.

352
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 5: Everybody wants it out. Nobody walks out of that room

353
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 5: going we want to keep that play in the game.

354
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 5: And so I think the one way or another.

355
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 3: That's going to get passed.

356
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 5: It's going to be a matter of you know, do

357
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 5: they feel like they can push it through here and

358
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 5: again that highly possible, that's what happens, But there's gonna

359
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 5: be enough questions raised.

360
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 3: Is the language consistent enough?

361
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 5: It doesn't song it's gonna be a big penalizing on

362
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 5: the field thing out of the gate. I bet you

363
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 5: see a bunch of flags and fins in the preseason

364
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 5: as they're just trying to correct technique.

365
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 3: You know, is it going to make a huge difference

366
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 3: in games?

367
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 5: I think that above all else, they just want to

368
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 5: make sure that nobody's teaching that style of tackling. It's

369
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 5: not a strategy with the kickoff, you know, that's another

370
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 5: one that the league has been pushing this for years.

371
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 5: But I think this will be the fourth time in

372
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 5: five years they've changed the kickoff rules. So just teams

373
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 5: coordinators have been you know, going round and round on this,

374
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 5: but they've been consulted throughout the process. Last year when

375
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 5: they made the legislation about the fair catch that we

376
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 5: did see and that was essentially like punishing the special

377
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 5: teams coordinators and the coaches like, hey, you didn't call

378
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 5: with anything better, so now it's just a dead play. Well,

379
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 5: they don't want a ceremonial dead play, as Troy Vincent

380
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 5: called it back in December. They wanted to have some excitement,

381
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 5: and so they're coming up with this new thing. They're

382
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 5: not calling it the XFL kickoff. It's the NFL hybrid kickoff.

383
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 5: You hear be in a setup zone at the forty

384
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 5: and the thirty five, and then there's a landing zone

385
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 5: where you need the ball to land, and then if

386
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,479
Speaker 5: you kick it past the landing zone then that's touchback.

387
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 5: Then now is going to come out to the thirty,

388
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 5: not the thirty five, which was what the original proposal was.

389
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 5: So this has been tweet YadA, YadA, YadA. It's gonna

390
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 5: lead to a play that what they want to do

391
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 5: is reduce the space and the speed because what they've

392
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 5: been charged with for the NFL is come up with

393
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 5: a way to make this an exciting play with lots

394
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 5: of returns, but also an injury rate we can stomach

395
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 5: because they.

396
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 3: Always cite that.

397
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 5: It's however, many X injuries on kickoffs versus any other play,

398
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 5: and so I think it's going to be fascinating to see.

399
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 5: I do think that that it's going to You're gonna

400
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 5: have fewer high speed collisions. That's going to you would think,

401
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 5: lead to fewer injuries over the course of time. But

402
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 5: there's definitely skepticism among some of the coaches I've talked

403
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 5: to here about what exactly this is going to look like.

404
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 5: I mean, I had one head coach telling me yesterday

405
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 5: his concern is, you're gonna have too many big plays

406
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 5: on kickoffs because goes imagine like we're playing cover zero

407
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 5: zero blitz. If you get through that initial hole, you're gone. Well, now,

408
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 5: if you look at the drawings, the renderings, that's what

409
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 5: it is is it's everybody's lined up here.

410
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 3: Well, if they all get blocked.

411
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 5: Up and you get through, the first thing is that

412
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 5: are you gonna have just a ton of kick return touchdowns?

413
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 5: Is that can overemphasize that part of the game strategically.

414
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 5: It's gonna be really interesting because again special teams coordinators,

415
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 5: every year they've got a new rule. This one, you know,

416
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 5: has the possibility to have maybe some unintended consequences, but

417
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 5: to the extent that the league wants an exciting play

418
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 5: that's not going to get people hurt, this is the

419
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 5: best idea they've come up with yet.

420
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: That's interesting how concerned is the league as far as

421
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: scoring being down over the less part of it too.

422
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 5: I mean, when you have I remember the exact numbers,

423
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 5: but I want to say it's been cut by like

424
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 5: three quarters the number of kick return yards or no

425
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 5: kick returns from the Super Bowl, and they attribute that

426
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 5: in part to field position, the lack of big plays.

427
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 5: You know, just it has changed the you know, it

428
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 5: has changed the fabrica of the game to a degree.

429
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 5: And there's a lot of other factors involved with it,

430
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 5: but this is definitely one of them where last year,

431
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 5: you know, everybody could stand up and you know, go

432
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,959
Speaker 5: get a beer on a kickoff and you weren't going

433
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 5: to miss anything. That NFL doesn't want that. It's the

434
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 5: same reason we now have thirty eight yard extra points

435
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 5: because they looked at that and it was like, well,

436
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 5: these are being converted in ninety nine percent. Well as

437
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 5: some of the kickers have lost their jobs because of it,

438
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 5: you know, the fact that now they have to make

439
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 5: essentially a mid range field goal however many times in

440
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 5: the game. That's not really the NFL's concern. It's how

441
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 5: do you make every play worth watching? How do you

442
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 5: make every moment exciting? The kickoff last year was not

443
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 5: an exciting play. It was a dead play to a

444
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 5: large degree. I still have real questions about the on

445
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 5: side kick aspect, because there was talk among this best

446
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 5: teams coordinators about maybe allowing like slight overload formations like

447
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 5: six on one side, four on the other side, or

448
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 5: being able to motion someone. If you read the proposal,

449
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 5: that doesn't exist. It's still five and five. So the

450
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 5: onside kick, which has been virtually impossible, remains virtually impossible.

451
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 5: The Eagles, like they do every year, proposed the fourth

452
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 5: and twenty alternative to the on side kick.

453
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 3: It is not to this point gain traction.

454
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 5: Some people just think it's too gimmicky, it's too far afield,

455
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 5: you can't go that direction. But until they come up

456
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 5: with some way that when there's four minutes to go,

457
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 5: when you score a touchdown to get down two scores,

458
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,239
Speaker 5: you have, you know, until you can create a way

459
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 5: to get back into the game, they have to continue

460
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 5: talking about these things because right now, you know, one

461
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 5: of the beauties of the NFL has been for years,

462
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 5: like there weren't a lot of deficits late in games

463
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 5: that were insurmountable because you did have you know, even

464
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 5: if it was a ten or fifteen percent recovery rate,

465
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 5: that's way better than the three percent or whatever it is.

466
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 2: Now.

467
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 3: Now it's like, all right, well, we know this isn't

468
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 3: going to work.

469
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 5: It's academic and it's again that's another dead play. So

470
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 5: that's one aspect I'm interested to see. Does that get changed,

471
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 5: does that get tabled for further discussion. We'll see on

472
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 5: the fourth and twenty thing. But the Eagles, like I said,

473
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 5: they propose it every single year and it hasn't got

474
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 5: anywhere yet.

475
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: All Right, fans as opposed to getting up and getting

476
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: that beer at the stadium, you might have to order

477
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: a beer. Have somebody they get you a.

478
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 3: Beer they have somewhere.

479
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, all right, So what do you think about

480
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: the jets of free agency to date? We've been through

481
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: multiple tiers. We talked to you in Indianapolis before.

482
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 5: How my predictions come out? I can't remember who I predicted.

483
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure he was wrong.

484
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: Well, I remember case Keno because you you know that

485
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: was your wild guys, right, that was definitely Wyron Taylor

486
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 1: kind of kind of in the same vein.

487
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 5: I'll get myself a half a point. I had the

488
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 5: right idea of how they would they would get on.

489
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 5: Who do I say for a receiver, So Mike.

490
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: Williams, I don't know if you had Mike Williams, you're

491
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:31,959
Speaker 1: supposed to know this.

492
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 5: Yes, I know, I wrote it out real fast for it.

493
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 5: I remember doing it. I just don't remember what I wrote.

494
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to pull that up.

495
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, anyway, Mike Williams, you know, a significant addition.

496
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 5: It's an incentive laden contract, and you know, if he

497
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 5: plays well it comes back from the ACL and produces,

498
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 5: It'll be very happy. Because Mike Williams when he's on,

499
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 5: I mean, he's a big, strong receiver that you have

500
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 5: on the perimeter. Just let you know exactly the type

501
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 5: of guy that Aaron Rodgers would like to have at

502
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 5: that position. So I thought that that was a significant edition.

503
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 5: The obviously, you know, wanted to address the offensive line.

504
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 5: You know that there were you know, based on the

505
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 5: number of signings on Monday, they were I'm sure Jets

506
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 5: fans were stressed out, like what's going on? And then

507
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 5: Joe Douglas went on that late night run where he

508
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 5: signed Tyrod and he signed John Simpson as well, and

509
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 5: traded for Morgan Moses and then you bring in Tyron Smith.

510
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 5: You know, you can't say they didn't try to address it. Listen,

511
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 5: Tyrons dealt with a lot of injuries. He's got a

512
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 5: bad knee, he doesn't practice a whole lot, but he

513
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 5: still is such a huge guy, like he can engulf

514
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 5: people if he's healthy. You know, you're probably going in

515
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 5: this not thinking, all right, we can get seventeen games

516
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 5: out of Tyron Smith, must playoffs, that's probably not realistic.

517
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 5: But can we get twelve fourteen games out of him

518
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 5: and then have him healthy at the end of the season.

519
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 3: That's really the focus.

520
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 5: I would imagine that they really manage his reps, you know,

521
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 5: do everything that they have to do to make sure

522
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 5: that he gets into the postseason. But you know, if

523
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 5: you have to win a pinch, play Morgan Moses over there,

524
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 5: or you have to I know they want to keep

525
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 5: Elijah Vera Tucker in one spot. I think he's gonna

526
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 5: be the right guard since it's the left guard. You know,

527
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 5: they've done a lot with that group, and I think

528
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 5: that's you know, that's significant when you think back to

529
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 5: what the primary issues were last year. Yes, he lose

530
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 5: the quarterback after four snaps, you probably don't have a

531
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 5: chance no matter what. But you really don't have a

532
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,959
Speaker 5: chance when you're playing thirteen or fourteen different offensive lineman

533
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 5: and your second, third, fourth quarterbacks.

534
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: These contracts have a lot of incentives. No surprise, I

535
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: would imagine from your perspective. But with that being said,

536
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: were you surprised what happened with Tyrone Smith? How the

537
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: market kind of Okay, nobody jumped early.

538
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 5: But Tyron took a cut last year. He was making

539
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 5: right around this same amount. I don't have it in

540
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 5: front of me, but I want, say to cut down

541
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 5: to like five million with upside. Just gave him what's

542
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 5: six point five with upside? So no, it's not a

543
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 5: huge shock, just because again, he's he's missed a lot

544
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 5: of time. I mean, he has his body's been through

545
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 5: a lot, and he's got that knee that he's always

546
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 5: got to manage.

547
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 3: But when he's on, when.

548
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 5: He's playing, he's still playing at a Pro Bowl type

549
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 5: of a level.

550
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 3: So you're just hoping that you can get him there.

551
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,719
Speaker 5: You're hoping that you've given yourself enough options in terms of,

552
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 5: you know, if something does happen to them, how do

553
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 5: you rearrange everybody. There's still other offensive linemen out there,

554
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 5: but they got in terms of you know, just pure

555
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 5: left tackles, they got the best one out there. It's

556
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 5: it's merely a matter of how many games do you

557
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 5: get out of them? And those games in December and January.

558
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 5: I know they all count the same up until the playoffs,

559
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 5: but those are ultimately where you're going to you know,

560
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 5: make your hay. It's not in those games in September

561
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 5: and if they need to hold them back a little bit,

562
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,719
Speaker 5: they need to take some snaps off and whatever it is,

563
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 5: I would anticipate they'll do that.

564
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: Everybody emphasizes continuity along that offensive line. That's that's going

565
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: to have three new starters with day Forum mentioned Simpson, Moses,

566
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith. How much does a healthy Aaron Rodgers help

567
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: those guys.

568
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 5: It's huge and Aarin you know, listen, him and Nathaniel

569
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 5: hacketd have a very special relationship. Those guys are going

570
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 5: to be you know, they're going to be in sync.

571
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 5: I think that if there was any lesson out of

572
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 5: on my board. Yeah, Ridley, tell them Ridley signs a

573
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 5: big contract, that they get a big contract.

574
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 3: But Fuaga listen, listen.

575
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 5: I think that the the cautionary thing if you saw

576
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 5: of those four snaps right, and it's extremely small sample size,

577
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 5: but Aaron gets hit on two of them last year,

578
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 5: the second one of Taris's achilles. I think that when

579
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 5: you've seen Aaron Rodgers at his best in his career,

580
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 5: yes he can extend plays, Yes he can do some

581
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,479
Speaker 5: unbelievable things on the run out of the pocket, but

582
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 5: he's forty years old and he probably needs to be

583
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 5: the Aaron Rodgers who's running. They're running the football, and

584
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 5: then it's the backside options and it's a boom getting

585
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 5: it out one step routes, smoke routs, slants, it's getting

586
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 5: the football out of his hands if you take a

587
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 5: lot of hits. And I'm sure he's doing a million

588
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 5: different things and things I've never even heard of to

589
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 5: get his body right for this season, but realistically, like

590
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 5: you need to get the ball out of your hands

591
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 5: more often. And I think that when you go back,

592
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 5: I get it. He's in a new place. He's always

593
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 5: played like you might not be able to play like

594
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 5: that all the time anymore. You have that tool in

595
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 5: your toolbox, you don't have to go to the toolbox

596
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 5: all the time. So what he can do to help

597
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 5: the offensive line is get the football out of his hands.

598
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 5: You not have to block forty true dropbacks every time

599
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 5: because a lot of the stuff, a lot of his

600
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 5: passing yard and stuff. If you go back to the Packers,

601
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 5: and this is something that you know, the Packers sort

602
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 5: of invented with Brett Favre in the nineties, was you

603
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 5: know this idea and you see it all over the

604
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 5: league now, which is you have these zone running plays

605
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 5: and on the back side of it, you have some

606
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 5: type of route built in and you see one on

607
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 5: one there, you like the route, you like the alignment,

608
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 5: you just chuck it out there. Aaron did that all

609
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 5: the time, which is why sometimes when it was Hey,

610
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 5: I threw the ball forty five times, why didn't you

611
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 5: run it more, It's like, well, yeah, half of those

612
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 5: were called run plays. And Hackett's entire offense was built

613
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 5: to give Rogers the authority at the line of scrubbers,

614
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 5: not to audible, not to change the play, but it

615
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 5: was he could have a bunch of different plays all

616
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 5: available to him at the line.

617
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 3: A lot of that's going to be built on the

618
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 3: Hey it's.

619
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 5: The three step drop, take a shot, it's one step round,

620
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 5: it's all these different things. That's what he's done really

621
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 5: well throughout the course of his career. That's what's going

622
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 5: to help keep him healthy, take the pressure off the

623
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 5: offensive line, elevate everybody around him, which is what the

624
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 5: Jets brought him in to do.

625
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: What do you make of the edge market out there

626
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: right now? Bright so Uff of course signs the Lucra

627
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: deal and free agency. I think a lot of people

628
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: were expecting that the Jets do have. Jermaine Johnson made

629
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: a huge seismic jump in the year two, John Franklin

630
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: Myers a versatile piece up there, Will McDonald. They took

631
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: fifteenth overall in last April's draft. They hosted j Davian

632
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: Clowney at the Complex last week. Jets fans are circling Clowney.

633
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: What do you think about the possibility there?

634
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 5: I mean, Clowney's been on you know, a series. I

635
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 5: think he's had a two year deal in there somewhere,

636
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,959
Speaker 5: but he's more or less play his whole career on

637
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 5: one year deals. And you know last year he came

638
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 5: off a strong season, so you would anticipate the market.

639
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 5: It's going to be a little bit richer for him

640
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 5: this year as he gets close to fifteen million. We'll see,

641
00:27:58,119 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 5: you know, there's probably gonna be a bunch of incentives

642
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 5: the one year get built into it, you know, I mean,

643
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 5: it could be something different, but at this stage in

644
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 5: his career is the number one picking what twenty fourteen?

645
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 5: He's probably better off just doing one year deals.

646
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 3: You never know.

647
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 5: I mean, you could do a longer one with him,

648
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 5: but he's shown the appetite to continue to go a

649
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 5: year to year throughout the course of his career. Here,

650
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 5: I think the fact that the Jets have invested what

651
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 5: they have in the defensive line probably gives them a

652
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 5: little bit more flexibility to wait and see whose prices

653
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 5: come down into the arrangement. Bryce Huff goes and gets

654
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 5: what eighteen nineteen million from the Eagles, Like, good for him, man,

655
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 5: I mean, they were getting offered like late round picks

656
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 5: for him in camp last year, and Joe wisely did

657
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 5: not take any of those those offers. But you know,

658
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 5: he's somebody who you know, grew into it and maybe

659
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 5: now with you know him not being there, maybe this

660
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 5: is where will McDonald you see him step in and

661
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 5: take on a bigger role. Obviously, Jermaine is just one

662
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 5: of the baddest dudes that you're going to see on

663
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 5: the field. Really, to John Franklin Myers, there'll be somebody

664
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 5: out there. There's enough pass rushers, there are veterans available.

665
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 5: Clowny at this point, you know, the top guy, but

666
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 5: you're also going to have to beat out the likes

667
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 5: of Baltimore to you know, trying to bring them back.

668
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, nine a half sex last year a career high

669
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: for Clowney. How about the flexibility maybe Joe Douglas has

670
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: right now entering the draft. He's got seven picks tenth overall.

671
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: What to see how the quarterbacks shake out at the

672
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: top of the draft. But after addressing the offensive line,

673
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,719
Speaker 1: even though you got to keep these guys healthy, we

674
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: know that some tankering on the defensive side of the ball,

675
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: but this still should be one of the top units

676
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. How do you think this

677
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: sets up for them as far as the draft is.

678
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 5: Concerned now, Well, I think that you've got enough of

679
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 5: a base built that you do have a lot of

680
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 5: different options, and you filled some of your needs offensive

681
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 5: linewise through free agency, and a trade you signed Mike Williams,

682
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 5: who you know, became available here. I think there's a

683
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 5: lot of different options there. I mean, you're not taking

684
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 5: a running back up that high. You've obviously you got

685
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 5: briefs and there's no running backs that are really you know,

686
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 5: you want to take up there. But you know, could

687
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 5: you take a running back in the second round. But

688
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 5: there's a bunch of good players, it's certainly a possibility,

689
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 5: you know. In terms of with their top pick, I

690
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 5: think that there's a lot of different directions that you

691
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 5: can go. I think that the fact that those top

692
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 5: picks probably be a lot of quarterbacks sets up well

693
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 5: for teams that don't need one to be taken one high. So,

694
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 5: you know, from the Jets' perspective here, I think that

695
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 5: they're in a good position. We were talking about them

696
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 5: last year, so are they going to win the Super Bowl?

697
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 5: It's largely the same group. It's a lot of the

698
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 5: same pieces here, so just I don't think you need

699
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 5: you know, big wave types of stuff. I think that

700
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 5: whether you draft a receiver, you draft another lineman, you

701
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 5: draft somebody on defense, I think there's a bunch of

702
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 5: different ways go get another good football player on a

703
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 5: pretty talented roster, and let's see what happens.

704
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: This is awesome. Let's end here. What do you think

705
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: about the message from Robert Salad this morning. I know

706
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: you were working sixteen respective tables, so you're not able

707
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: to take in each of these thirty minute sessions. But

708
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: something's stuck out to me when he said that you

709
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,719
Speaker 1: don't win in an offseason. Winning is about winning games

710
00:30:58,720 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: in the regular season.

711
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think that that's the lesson out

712
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 5: of last year. Right again, I don't know how much

713
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 5: you can read into anything that happened last year, because

714
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 5: you lost the guy who your entire offense was built

715
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 5: for after four snaps, and you had to play people

716
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 5: who weren't supposed to be playing, like Zach who was

717
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 5: supposed to, you know, sit for the entire year. Here,

718
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 5: I think that after all the hype of last year

719
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 5: and Salla is certainly somebody who's like aware kind of

720
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 5: the environment around the team. Everything was building toward this

721
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 5: and it was at a fever pitch going into last year,

722
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 5: so then you know, everybody forgets those first what six

723
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 5: games after Aaron gets hurt, They they battled and they

724
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 5: won some games, and Zach played well at times, but

725
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 5: you know, realistically, you were never going to You weren't

726
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 5: going to win.

727
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 3: The Super Bowl.

728
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 5: Once Aaron went down, you probably weren't going to make

729
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 5: the playoffs. Even if everything fell right now, the expectations

730
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 5: are far lower. The last thing they're going to do

731
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 5: is start amping them up again. It's let's let's actually

732
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 5: get to the games and then decide who who's going

733
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 5: to win them.

734
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: Appreciate your time as always, Tom,
