I think I feel like I 15 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: was spoiled even at a really good time. New coaching staff, 16 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 2: new general manager. I feel like I've loved the energy. 17 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: I've loved the new mindset that I feel like this 18 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 2: team has. Obviously I haven't seen what it's been like 19 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 2: in the past, but everything that I've seen, the vibe 20 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 2: just seems to be great with these players, with this staff, 21 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 2: So I'm excited for the season to get started. 22 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: All right, So folks are going to be reading you 23 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: on New York Just dot Com throughout the year. But actually, 24 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: last season twenty twenty four twenty five, you were with 25 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: the Broncos. That's one of Aaron Glenn's mentors in Sean Payton. 26 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: Tell us about that experience. 27 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great. I honestly feel like I see 28 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 2: a lot of similarities already, just between the things that 29 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 2: they preach. I think Aaron Glenn has talked a lot 30 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 2: about emotional maturity and how important that's going to be 31 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 2: for his team. I feel like that's definitely something I 32 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 2: saw with Sean Payton. And also, you know, with this roster, 33 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 2: it's a young team. I feel like that was something 34 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 2: I saw last year in Denver two and I kind 35 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: of liked the young and hungry type of team, and 36 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 2: I feel like something similar could be happening here. 37 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: When did you know the Broncos were on something last year? 38 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: Honestly, it was interesting because I felt it during training camp, 39 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: and I think that was my first NFL season, and 40 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: so a lot of people in the building were saying, 41 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 2: you know, there's always this excitement during the preseason. There's 42 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 2: always this excitement in training camp. You never know how 43 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 2: it's actually going to pan out. But from being around 44 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 2: the guys last year in the locker room during preseason, 45 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: I feel like there was just an energy there like 46 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 2: they had this internal belief. There were a lot of 47 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 2: people on the outside that were maybe doubting it, but 48 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 2: from the moment I got there, I felt like there 49 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 2: was an internal belief that the guys had in the 50 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: locker room. 51 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: So you are a New York native, I am in 52 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: Staten Island, right, Yes, we won't say what team your 53 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: family I was always rooted for might have been, the 54 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: crossdown neighbors in yours might have been. But with that 55 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: being said, do you find it different in terms of 56 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: daily coverage coming out from Denver and then now being 57 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: here in New York? 58 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean being from New York obviously very proud 59 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 2: to be from New York. I feel like there's just 60 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 2: a different energy in this city, and especially with this team, 61 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: Crosstown team, there's just this hunger to win. I feel 62 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: like these fans have wanted that for a while, and 63 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 2: so it's exciting to be here. It's a cool environment 64 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 2: and obviously you know, returning home is a special opportunities. 65 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: What about your interactions with the players. 66 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 2: So far, It's been great. I feel like, you know, 67 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 2: like I said, a lot of young guys that are 68 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: just eager excited to be here. I feel like I've 69 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 2: felt the energy from the moment I got here, and 70 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: you know, just excited to see what some of these 71 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 2: players do when they get out there in a couple weeks. 72 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: Speaking of energy, when people ask you on the outside, 73 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: what's ag what is Aaron Glenn like? Because you're absorbing 74 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: that energy on a daily basis, whether it's outside here 75 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,119 Speaker 1: during training camp or downstairs in the media room. 76 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 2: I feel like he tells it like it is. He 77 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: is like to the point, he's going to tell you 78 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: exactly what he thinks, how he feels. And I love that. 79 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: I feel like that's what you need out of a 80 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: head coach. I feel like you need somebody who's gonna 81 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: give it to you straight. And I feel like every 82 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: player that we've talked to is you know, said the 83 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 2: same thing that they never have to guess what he's thinking. 84 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: He's going to tell him, tell to him straight. And 85 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 2: we even saw that in the preseason games when he 86 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 2: would pull guys over on the sideline immediately when they're 87 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 2: coming off the field. So I love it. I think 88 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 2: that's what you need from a head coach. 89 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: All right, major takeaways from the roster cut down here 90 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: Tuesday that happened at four pm. The Jets also had 91 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: a few waiver claims three players that acquired via waivers. 92 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: Rosters never entirely don Darren Mouji his personal staff going 93 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: to be continuing to look at all avenues in order 94 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: to improve it. But any surprises for you. 95 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I would say the only surprise is I 96 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 2: you know, you always are rooting for maybe an undrafted 97 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 2: guy to make the jump there, and we didn't see 98 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 2: any of that. I'm curious to hear about past seasons. 99 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 2: I know that you guys have typically had at least 100 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 2: one drafted rookie make the team, and I was a 101 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 2: bit surprised to not see at least one. But in 102 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 2: terms of just breaking it down position by a position, 103 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: there was nothing that really struck me as crazy, crazy surprising. 104 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: But I do think it's interesting how young the team is. 105 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 2: We've talked about it. I mean, thirty one players have 106 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 2: four or fewer years of experience in the NFL. I 107 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: think that's you know, but then you talk about the 108 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 2: guys who are the veteran players, and there's four guys 109 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 2: over that are thirty plus years old, and two of 110 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 2: them have extensive experience with the Jets. And then you 111 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 2: have you know, Josh Reynolds, who has experienced with a 112 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 2: lot of teams, also has experienced with Aaron Glenn and 113 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: with Tanner. So it's just an interesting group of those 114 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 2: veteran guys. I think pairing that with the young team 115 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 2: will be interesting to see. 116 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you mentioned a number of these udfa's 117 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: because in fact, the Jets late Wednesday afternoon early Thursday morning, 118 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: they're going to release a few of these names. As 119 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: far as Quentin Skinner being back, Brandon Smith as well. 120 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: Brandon Smith experience here with the Jets, he played during 121 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: the preseason last year, actually was acquired last August, and 122 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: then Quentin Prichard as well, so not Quentin Pritchard, Quentin Skinner, 123 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: excuse me, Jamal Pritchard back. So a few of those 124 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: udfas that I know fans were very much interested in 125 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: clearing waivers and coming back here, so they will be 126 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: part of this program. 127 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, and I think that's great. I feel like 128 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 2: with the practice squad you kind of have these like 129 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: roster mechanics that go on with like managing. Obviously, people 130 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 2: on the practice squad can be elevated up to the 131 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: active roster, so I think obviously there's a lot of 132 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: thought that goes into the practice squad as well, and 133 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 2: so having those guys back I think is super valuable. 134 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: Exavier Gibson on the roster. He was asked directly about 135 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: that today Aaron Glenn, and he said, this guy's dynamic 136 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: with the ball in his hands, and we have to 137 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: weigh special team failue big time in some of these 138 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: roster decisions. And when you look at a guy like Gibson, 139 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: not only does he provide an offensive skill set that 140 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: you like, but he is a sure handed return man 141 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: who's made some big plays in the league from that spot. 142 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: And for the Jets to win this year, they got 143 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: to have sound special teams. 144 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think special teams is really important. It doesn't 145 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 2: surprise me that that's something that they're focusing on because 146 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 2: it can essentially make or break a game. I think 147 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 2: somebody like Kenay as well, having him on the roster, 148 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 2: the expertise he brings with special teams, and then even 149 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 2: just one of the claims today we see is a 150 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 2: big special teams contributor. So I think it's an important thing. 151 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: Some teams may not value it as much as others, 152 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 2: but I think it's a good thing to focus on 153 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 2: here all. 154 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: Right, justin Fields, completely different quarterback than the guy you 155 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: saw last year in Boone Knicks bon Nicks, of course, 156 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: top fifteen pick overall, was in a quarterback competition. They're 157 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: in den and they got better throughout the year. Justin Fields. 158 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: He signs in free agency here in March, the Jets 159 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: safe from the get you are our quarterback one? What 160 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: have you seen from him? And also what have you 161 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: heard from Fields? 162 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, he seems like a very level headed guy, right, 163 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 2: And he even said that that's been just the past 164 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 2: six months that he feels like he's really gotten to 165 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 2: that point where he's not letting outside noise influence him. 166 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 2: But I think, you know, from what I've seen and 167 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 2: heard from the coaching staff, this feels like it's going 168 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 2: to be a system that is catered to his skill set. 169 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 2: You know, he was hesitant to speak on his previous 170 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 2: systems that he's been in. But from what I've seen 171 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 2: so far, I feel like this feels like a good 172 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 2: fit for him. And obviously it's his third NFL team. 173 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: Now he's really, you know, looking to take the next 174 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 2: step in his career, and this feels like a good 175 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 2: place to do it. 176 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: Third team of three seasons, fourth offensive coordinator in five years. 177 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: So do you imagine this is going to be a 178 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: bit of a growing process for everybody, not just Fields 179 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: Tanner Angstran who is ready for this opportunity to be 180 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: calling place in the NFL. It's got great mentors and 181 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: guys like Jim Harbaugh and Ben Johnson of course there 182 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 1: with the Lions, but you know, these guys are all 183 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: working together for the first time. 184 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I feel like it's a growing process 185 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 2: every year, right, Like I feel like out the gate 186 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 2: week one, a lot of fans will like panic if 187 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: like they're not, you know, seeing what they want to 188 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 2: see on the field. But I mean, I look at 189 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 2: last year in Denver, they started off oh and two, 190 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 2: it looked like bo Nicks was not really clicking with 191 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 2: the offense and things were just seemed off. And then 192 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 2: week three that you know, they win a game, come 193 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,719 Speaker 2: here in Week four and that was a you know, 194 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 2: an interesting game, and then kind of go on a 195 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 2: little bit of a run in the middle of the season. 196 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 2: So I feel like it's a growing process. Every year, 197 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 2: every team is different. Every even if you bring back, 198 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 2: you know, however many people, it's still every year is different. 199 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: So you know, there's gonna be a learning curve, there's 200 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 2: gonna be a grow process. But I don't think that 201 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 2: that's anything to freak out about. I think it's just 202 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 2: the natural progression of the season. 203 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: What do you make of the star power on both 204 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: sides of the ball. Start off offensively, you got Garrett Wilson. 205 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: Then the the defensive side, of course, you got Quinn 206 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: and Williams. I go back a level, you got Jamie Sherwood, 207 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: you got Quincy Williams. Of course Quinn's brother, his older brother. 208 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: You got Saus Gardner as well. You're very familiar with 209 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: number one cornerbacks Patrick Certan, the twenty twenty four Defensive 210 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: Player of the Year. Yeah. 211 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 2: I mean, I think you look up and down this 212 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 2: roster like they've got the guys, They've got the star 213 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 2: power offensively and defensively. I'm excited to see Garrett Wilson 214 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 2: obviously connecting with his former college teammate. That's, you know, 215 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 2: going to be a big storyline this season, and we've 216 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 2: already seen it out on the field. And you know, 217 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 2: same thing. Defensively, I think cornerbacks. You know, obviously I 218 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 2: saw how valuable of a position that can be last year, 219 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 2: and you know, having one side of the field entirely 220 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 2: shut down is very valuable. So really excited to see 221 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 2: Sauce this year. I think he's in for a big 222 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 2: year as well. 223 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: I think people are sleeping on the defensive line a 224 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: little bit because we just got done with those joint 225 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: practices with the Giants, of course, and then the game 226 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: a couple weeks later. You look at the judge projected starters. 227 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: Up front, you got quinnin, you got Will McDonald who 228 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: a ten and a half sacks last year. You got 229 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: Jermaine Johnson who was lost to an achilles terror in 230 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: Week two last year. He's cham chomping at the bit. 231 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: And then finally you trade for Harrison Phillips, an established 232 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: run stopper and he's got great presence. That's one thing 233 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: that I want to get your takeaway on this. He 234 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: spoke to the media the other day. Aaron Glenn stressed 235 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: the fact that he's one of us. He's kind of 236 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: a guy that we want in this program. 237 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think just from that one him 238 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 2: talking to the media once, you could tell like it 239 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 2: feels like he's built for this team. He's built to 240 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 2: be coached by Aaron Glenn. I mean that emotional mature 241 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 2: that AG has talked about, I feel like he's got it. 242 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 2: He's obviously a veteran guy. He's seen a lot of football, 243 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 2: and I really liked what he said about you know, 244 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 2: obviously he has a proven track record of being successful 245 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 2: on the field, but he felt like his biggest contribution 246 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 2: was going to be helping the guys around him and 247 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 2: pointing out things that he's seen before and you know, 248 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 2: kind of pouring into the younger players. So I liked 249 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 2: that that was where his mind was at. Obviously, we 250 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 2: want to see him, you know, produce on the field too, 251 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 2: but like having the mindset that he wants to help 252 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 2: the younger players around him, I feel like fits what 253 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 2: they're trying to do. 254 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: I thought it was fascinating that he also said that 255 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell talked to him when the Vikings traded him 256 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,959 Speaker 1: to the Jets and said, this team is on the rise. 257 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 1: You rarely don't hear that come trade time. Maybe you 258 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: exchange pleasantries and say thank you for this, but Koc 259 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: went out of his way to say that, hey, you're 260 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: going to a place where good things are around the corner. 261 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that speaks to you know, what's going 262 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 2: on here, but it also speaks to the kind of 263 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 2: player that they saw in him where they wanted to 264 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 2: let him know. You know, like you're going into a 265 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 2: good place. We value you here, but we think you're 266 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 2: headed for good things as well. So I think you 267 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 2: know nothing but positive there in terms of what's being 268 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 2: built here, but also what he can bring to that. 269 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: Jets fans, the twenty twenty five season is almost here. 270 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: From now until September one, grab tickets to any Jets 271 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: home game with no fees during our limited time Labor 272 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: Day weekend offer by now at Onyjets dot com slash tickets. 273 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 1: When you look at the Jets by position, where do 274 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: you think they can hang their hat on? You know, 275 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: we just went through the roster cuts, reducing the roster 276 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: to fifty three, but the waiver claims come in and 277 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 1: things like that, Where do you think this team can 278 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: hang it head on early in the season. 279 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 2: I'm really excited about the defensive line, I think, especially 280 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 2: after those additions. I mean they've talked throughout the summer 281 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 2: everything starts up front, both offensively and defensively. But you know, 282 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 2: I was already feeling like the defensive line had some 283 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 2: star power, and now, you know, you get a few additions. 284 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 2: I think it's it's going to be an exciting group too. 285 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: Well. Off the side of the ball, we mentioned fields before, 286 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: Jets were less than the NFL. I've said this multiple 287 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: times on the podcast, less than the NFL in rush 288 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: attempts last year. They've put a lot of investments into 289 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: that offensive line. And then you saw the backs throughout 290 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: the summertime. You got Bret Saul, you got Braylan Allen, 291 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: who seemingly is gaining confidence by the day. And then 292 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: Isaiah Davis who's dealt with the ankle injury. But they 293 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: like his skill set as well, and he's got really 294 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: good hands out of the backfield. 295 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Isaiah Davis brailing out. Both still really 296 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 2: young players, right, so not only just they're in their 297 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 2: second year. But they're also on the younger age, you know, 298 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 2: entering their second year, so I think there's still tons 299 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 2: of development there for them. And you know, I what 300 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 2: I've seen from Allen in the preseason and you know, 301 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 2: out of training, I mean, it's just he is powerful, 302 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 2: He is like, he's a scary guy. So you know, 303 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 2: I'm excited to see I think he could take a 304 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 2: jump again. Obviously had a great start last year, but 305 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 2: I'm excited to see the wrong game. And then you 306 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 2: throw in justin fields as well, and having a you know, 307 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 2: a mobile quarterback also just is going to do nothing 308 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 2: but add to that. 309 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: So we're leaning on your experience here last year in Denver. 310 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: Is that where the Broncos were at early in the 311 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: year where they said, hey, our defense is going to 312 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: keep us in position to win games, and then the 313 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: offense is going to start to take off. Because the 314 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: Jets defensively a lot of pieces, a lot of continuity there, 315 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: where offensively there's a lot of newness. There is a 316 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: lot of talent, we know that, but do you see 317 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: similar blueprints. 318 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 2: Absolutely? I think, you know, like I said, there was 319 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 2: always the internal belief that they were on the right 320 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 2: track and that they could have something special offensively, but 321 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 2: it took a bit and you know defensively too though. 322 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 2: You know, you look at that team, they really only 323 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 2: had like their biggest star power over there was Patzertan, 324 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 2: and you know the rest of them were kind of 325 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 2: like these self made guys that you know, just came 326 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 2: in and proved themselves and were ready to work. And 327 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 2: so I think, you know, there was the belief in 328 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: the defense, but there were question marks kind of all 329 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 2: over the place, but you know, they really outside noise 330 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 2: was blocked and they were like, we're here to work 331 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 2: and we're working with the guys that we got around us. 332 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 2: And so, you know, early in the season, definitely the 333 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 2: defense kept them in games, and then the offense was 334 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 2: able to capitalize. And then slowly throughout the season the 335 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 2: offense started picking it up and evening it out where 336 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 2: you know, defense was keeping them in games, offense was 337 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 2: keeping them in games kind of week to week. But 338 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 2: I definitely think, you know, they relied on that strong 339 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 2: defensive performance early on while the offense was still kind 340 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 2: of figuring out how to make things click with the 341 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 2: rookie quarterback. 342 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: How much did certain travel with opposition receivers because I 343 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: bring that up because the Jets of the ability to 344 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: do that now, and we haven't seen them game plan 345 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: anybody yet. So we're looking ahead to week one and 346 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna break this down next week with Bart Scott 347 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: and Brian Baldinger, of course. But DK Metcalf. People are 348 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: looking at DK Metcalf and saying, that's the Steelers top receiver. 349 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: Do you move Sauce with them? What did you see 350 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: last year in Denver? What also do you anticipate here 351 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: because one thing Sauces said multiple times is that they're 352 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: gonna do different things with me here. Yeah. 353 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 2: I definitely saw that from certain and that was like 354 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 2: a point of pride for him, Like he loved being 355 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 2: put in those positions. I remember even coming here in 356 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 2: week four and you know, he was looking forward to 357 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 2: going up against Garrett Wilson. 358 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: And like that was like over in London. 359 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he was, you know, he loved being He 360 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 2: always said he wanted to go up against the best, 361 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 2: the best, and they gave him the opportunity to do that. 362 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 2: I'm curious to see how that plays out here. You know. 363 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 2: I also think a guy like Brandon Stevens like that 364 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 2: is somebody that has really flashed in camp as well, 365 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 2: and so you know, I am us to see what 366 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 2: the game plan will be with that. I don't know 367 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 2: in past years has that, you know, I don't know 368 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 2: what the situation has been in past years. 369 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: I do a lot of that. No, Yeah, so you. 370 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 2: Know, I'm curious to see how it plays out. I 371 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 2: do think, like you said, they have said it seems 372 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 2: like they're going to do a lot of different things. 373 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 2: So you know, I'm curious what that will look like. 374 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, Jets obviously playing the Broncos this year in London 375 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: last year mentioned in the game week four. Yeah, Jets 376 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: Broncos a little bit later in this year and also 377 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: across the country. What do you anticipate in terms of 378 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 1: the unknown next week? Because it's interesting that the way 379 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn has approached this week specifically, like it's been 380 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: very much in training camp mode where he hasn't flipped 381 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: the page at least externally to Pittsburgh. But I'm sure 382 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: him and his coaching staff are well underway in terms 383 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: of their prep for the Steelers. And then maybe next 384 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: week as soon as Monday comes, Hey, fellas, it's the 385 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: Steelers and that's the only thing that matters. 386 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, obviously they've spoken extensively about 387 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 2: they want this to be a run first offense. I 388 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 2: think obviously with the limited snaps we've seen from Justin Fields, 389 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 2: I'm still curious to see how this past game pans out. 390 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 2: I know we've got Garrett Wilson, but we're still waiting 391 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 2: to see who else is, you know, going to really 392 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,719 Speaker 2: step up in that number two position. Obviously, you know 393 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 2: you have talented guys in the room, but you know, 394 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 2: just because we've had such a small sample size, I 395 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 2: think I'm curious to see, you know, the most how 396 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 2: that plays out. 397 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: Well. You mentioned Jay Ray before Josh Reynolds, and he's 398 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: got the familiarity with the coaching staff and I think 399 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: they know what he's going to bring to the table. Also, 400 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: good news on the injury front. It sounds like with 401 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: a number of these guys, like we talked about Isaiah 402 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: Davis before, we're going to have to see about the 403 00:19:54,840 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: health of Tyrod Tayler. But Glenn sounds confid and that 404 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: he'll be back as we would think that probably Ellen 405 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 1: Wizard too, because we have not seen Allen's Layard Ellen Zard, 406 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: excuse me, the last couple of weeks of the shoulder injury, 407 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: so that could change the dynamic. Also, you just wrote 408 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: a story about Arian's death. Where's his mindset right now? 409 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: Because I think he can change the entire dynamic of 410 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 1: the Jets offense down the line. I'm not saying he's 411 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: got to have one hundred yards in Week one. I'm 412 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: not saying that at all. But I'm saying he's got 413 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: a skill set that nobody else does on this team. Yeah. 414 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean you've heard it from everybody across locker room, 415 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 2: cross coaching staff. He is a speedy guy and I 416 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 2: really liked what he was just He was just talking 417 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 2: to me about how he's just being a sponge soaking 418 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 2: in everything he can from every player. And you know, 419 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 2: I even asked him, like which players, and He's like, 420 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 2: you know, the veterans in my room, but I'm also 421 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 2: talking to the quarterbacks. I'm also talking to guys who've 422 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 2: just been around the league for a while and can 423 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 2: really just give me any sort of nuggets that will 424 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 2: help me in my first year. So he seems like 425 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,959 Speaker 2: he's eager to learn, he's eager to fill in wherever 426 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 2: need be to help this team, And I think that's 427 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 2: the best approach you can have as a rookie, right 428 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 2: is like, I'm here to do whatever I can to contribute. 429 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 2: So I love his mindset. I think. I agree his 430 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 2: skill set is extremely unique. I think he can add 431 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 2: a lot to the offense, and he's explosive and I'm 432 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 2: just excited to see what he can contribute. 433 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: Do you like his energy when you spoke to him, 434 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: because it seems like the game is definitely not too 435 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: big for him. 436 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. No, he he seems like he is kind of 437 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 2: similar to how I feel about Justin Field's just level headed, 438 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 2: like you know, he's just even keeled, you know. He 439 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 2: seems like he's taking in that emotional maturity that Age 440 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 2: is preaching about. So I'm excited about him. 441 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: No surprises here the Jets seventh player draft class. They 442 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: are all on the roster. Malchi Moore went out with 443 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,479 Speaker 1: a bang this preseason, very impressive outing against the Philadelphia Eagles, 444 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: so he's another guy to watch Defensively. The Jets are 445 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: set at starters week one when you're talking about Andre 446 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: siscoing Tony Adam, but will we see mel Kai Moore 447 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: as some personnel packages. That's something we don't know. 448 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I mean at the beginning of the summer 449 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 2: ag he was saying he was going to compete for 450 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 2: a spot, and we've seen him do that throughout the summer, 451 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 2: and so, you know, I don't think the competition stops 452 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 2: here just because you know, training camp's over and maybe 453 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 2: the starters have been you know, solidified. I think, like 454 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 2: similar to the roster, it's fluid, and so I think 455 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,719 Speaker 2: we're going to continue to see him compete for that 456 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 2: spot throughout the season. 457 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn very direct. He'll let you know where he 458 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: stands on everything. He was asked about the center competition 459 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: today and that right now he's not ready to unveil. 460 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: So I mean that could go all the way up 461 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: to Gain day. That's that's kind of my takeaway from 462 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: today's news conference. 463 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, No, I agree. I mean, even if he 464 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 2: does know, he doesn't want to say. 465 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. Yeah, So he's not gonna be saying 466 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: so that's right now. We'll have to see if that 467 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: changes next week. But the other thing, when you look 468 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: at the Jets, you have offensive lined up and I 469 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: think they kept what is it the number we were 470 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: counting up the position groups. I think it's ten offensive 471 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: linement in all. Initially we got to see what the 472 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:20,719 Speaker 1: corresponding moves are after these waiver claims. But when you're 473 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: speaking about a line that goes from left to right 474 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: olu fashion to at left tackle entering year two, you 475 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: got John Simpson left guard, the veteran Well's thee its 476 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: center position, either it's Tip or Josh Myers, the guy 477 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: who's got a lot of starting experience with the Green 478 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: Bay Packers. At right guard, Elijah Vera Tucker, and then 479 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 1: of course at right tackle the rookie or my membo. 480 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: I would be remiss if I didn't ask you about 481 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: Veratt Tucker, because he somehow kind of flies under the 482 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: radar here because the Jets do have those young bookend 483 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: tackles and they're gonna be challenged right away by TJ.
