1 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Official Jets podcast, The 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: Jets two TASM of twenty one schedule release, presented by 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,120 Speaker 1: Jet Bluer here the bet MGM studio. Let's just start 4 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: up top the Jet season opener, A juicy one going 5 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: down to Charlotte, North Carolina and taken on Sam Donald 6 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: in the Carolina Panthers. The season is almost here. I 7 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 1: can't wait to see a lot of people at MetLife 8 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: Stadium next year. We're getting great news in terms of 9 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: the pandemic where we're at with the vaccinations. So last year, 10 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: at this time, we were wondering if we were going 11 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: to have an NFL season. Now as we approached one 12 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: NFL season, we're thinking about having the Green and White 13 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: Faithful back at MetLife Stadium. The season opens up on 14 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: the road. You mentioned the juicy storylines. Of course, the 15 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: Jets started April by sending Sam Donald to the Carolina 16 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: Panthers in exchange for three draft picks they and April 17 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: by taking Zach Wilson at b y U. This will 18 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: be Robert Sala's first game as head coach of the 19 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: New York Jets. Yeah, I think that the storyline is 20 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: an NFL intriguing storyline. I kind of like you ripped 21 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,839 Speaker 1: the band aid off when the Jets straight at Sam Donald, 22 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: they knew that they were gonna see him this year, 23 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: although he was traded outside of the conference. Having a 24 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: B week one, there's no time. Well, I guess you 25 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: would say there's no time for the storyline to be 26 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: built up. But you do have the preseason in training camp, 27 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: and I'm sure that a lot of analysts when the 28 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: schedule was released said, you know what, at a game 29 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,199 Speaker 1: that most people are gonna circle and talk about now 30 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: in May. But having a B week one, I think 31 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: it's a Also when you think about where the Panthers 32 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: finished last year they were draft they drafted in the 33 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: top ten, number eight overall. I mean surprised on people 34 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: by taking J. C. Horne. A lot of people thought 35 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: they might still take a quarterback even after drafting for 36 00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: Sam after trading. Like matchups though, and generally speaking, I mean, 37 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: it's not like the Jets are gonna face let's say, 38 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: like last year at Buffalo. Buffalo had a great season 39 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: last year, and I would say that they are a 40 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: better team than the Panthers. Yeah, well, listen, the Panthers 41 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: do have a lot of talent to skill positions. I 42 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: like what the Jets are gonna throw at San Donald Company, 43 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: and it's starting with that defensive line. Daniel Jeremiah said 44 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: the other day that by the time this season has done, 45 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna be talking about Quentin Williams being the second 46 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: best defensive tackle in football, with Aaron Donald having his 47 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: own room. But the Jets got better up front, so 48 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: they will be tough to contend with their in Week 49 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: one because Carl Lawson on the outside, Sheldon Rankins joins 50 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: the rotation on the inside, Vinny Curry gives you more 51 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: depth for the rotation at the opposite end position. So yeah, 52 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fascinating. You know, you never knew obviously 53 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: before Schedule King came out, where was that NFL gonna 54 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: put this one? You thought week one was always a possibility, though, Yeah, 55 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: I mean I thought maybe Thursday Night had a possibility 56 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: to just because you want that storyline in prime time. 57 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: But I think Week one is prime time enough for 58 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: this storyline. And you know, there are a lot of 59 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: familiar faces down in Carolina, but like Robby Anderson, Pat Alfly, 60 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: Justin Burris, Trenton cannons on that roster as we speak. 61 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: And then after Week one, the Jets open up at 62 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: MetLife hopefully with fans in the stands. I know. Governor 63 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: Phil Murphy said that he's expecting or the hope is 64 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: to have close at MetLife Stadium. And then the Jets 65 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: host the New England Patriots, who have had a just 66 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: a totally atypical New England Patriot off season. Yeah, because 67 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: they spent a boatload and free agency and a lot 68 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: of guys going in there. They addressed the tight end position, 69 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: the linebacker position of former Jets defunts alignment actually ended 70 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: up there and Henry Anderson and all by the way 71 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: that they became the second team in the a f 72 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: C East at a quarterback in round one. Mac Jones 73 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: going to New England, it's anticipated. We anticipate Cam Newton 74 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: is going to be the guy in Week two. But 75 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: the Jets get a crack at their old nemesis in 76 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: week two. And speaking of the Patriots, they're gonna be 77 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: done with the Patriots here early this season because the 78 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,559 Speaker 1: return matchup is October at Gilt Stadium. They will face 79 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: that Patriots twice before facing the Buffalo Bills or the 80 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins once. Yeah, and to that point, the Jets 81 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: are done with the Patriots after week seven. Week seven 82 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: is the return trip where the Jets go up to 83 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: Foxboro for the second match up there. But you know, 84 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: if we were to look at let's say the first 85 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: nine weeks of the season, the first eight games the 86 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: Buys week six, by the way, I think what stands 87 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: out is the strength of schedule because the Jets host 88 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: the Titans week four, and then week nine they traveled 89 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: to Indianapolis for Thursday night f ball. Those are the 90 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: only two teams in the first nine weeks who made 91 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: the playoffs in two thousand and twenty that the Jets 92 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: will face. Yeah. I wrote about this that six of 93 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: the jets first seven opponents last year they had a 94 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: combined record of thirty two sixty three and one to 95 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: combine winning percentage of thirty three point three. So why 96 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: is that relevant? Because the Jets are gonna have a 97 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: learning curve, They have a new head coach and they're 98 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: installing new systems on both sides of the ball. They 99 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: could have a rookie quarterback from the get Go week 100 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: one and Zach Wilson, so there will be bumps along 101 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: the way, but they're facing a lot of teams who 102 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: are in similar situations where they didn't have stellar records 103 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: last year and they want to build things themselves as well. Yeah, 104 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, you're absolutely right. And also Week five 105 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: I think will be you know, there's gonna be a 106 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: lot of intrigue from Jets fans there because the Jets 107 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: are gonna go overseas to take on the Anna Falcons. 108 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: And we've talked about this. The Jets have eight road games, 109 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: really seven right at a neutral site in being in London. Yeah, 110 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: seventeen games for the first time in National Football League history. 111 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: Nine home games this year, so get out to MetLife Stadium. 112 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a raucous atmosphere because the 113 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: Jets are building something big here. Uh. Eight road games, 114 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: but I really think it's seven road games and one 115 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: neutral site game because this game against the Atlanta Falcons 116 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: in Week five in London in Tottenham, I think you're 117 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: probably gonna see more Green and White supporters overseas. And 118 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: this is a cool thing, a great thing for Jets 119 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: chairman Woody Johnson because most recently he served as the 120 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: U S ambassador to both Great Britain and Northern Ireland. 121 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: So now he's taking his team back there. And after 122 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: the London game, the Jets have a bye which you 123 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: know that that marries nicely because the Jets have a 124 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: have travel, heavy travel, heavy travel. They play nine thirty 125 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: in the morning Eastern Standard time. They come back, they 126 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: have the bye week, so things they get a little 127 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: extra rest, and then we've talked about this, they play 128 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: at New England and then they wrap up. That's late, 129 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: but in that same breath to your point earlier, in 130 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: the back half of the season, the Jets play Buffalo 131 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: and Miami four times total. You're skipping ahead of the 132 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: back half. How about the return matchups? Are some of 133 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: these guys you mentioned Tennessee, Yeah, alright, alright, I was 134 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: gonna do the return matchups as like a whole at 135 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: the end. No, I'll do that at no. But you're 136 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: right about the n FC East. You know it's the 137 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: Patriots flavor early and on the back half you have 138 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: that game mat is a Thursday night prime time game. 139 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: I know you're gonna get to that against the Indianapolis Colts, 140 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: but you have ten days to prepare for the Buffalo 141 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: Bills week nine at Life Stadium or Game nine at 142 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: Life Stadium, and then your tenth game is against the 143 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. So that's possibly setting up is a critical 144 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: two game stretch inside a division where after you play 145 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: the Colts, you get a chance to make your market 146 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: inside the division and hopefully you at least gain a 147 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: split with the Patriots early on. We'll have to see 148 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: what happens. And also the Jets wrap up at Buffalo. 149 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: That's gonna be a really cold game that is the 150 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: early part of January. But on the positive side of 151 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: the ledger, the past couple of years, the Jets have 152 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: been going down to Miami and the warmer climate, like 153 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: you know, October early November. Now they get a December 154 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: game at Miami, so that that'll be a nice little 155 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: break for the Jets, you know, assuming it's cold up 156 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: here and a little warmer down in South Florida. It's 157 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 1: always human down in South Florida. But yeah, break weatherwise. 158 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 1: The other thing that stands out as far as the 159 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: schedule down the stretch, not too many crazy cold weather 160 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: games unless it's a home game where you don't mind 161 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: if it's the New Orleans New Orleans Saints come in 162 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: your place and Jags, Yeah, having to face you inside 163 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: the elements per se, but going down to Miami late 164 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: in a year, it can be awfully humid and hot 165 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: in September, so you'll take that in December. But that 166 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: finishing stretches something else. If Tampa and Buffalo have UH 167 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: reason to play all their starters throughout the defending Super 168 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 1: Bowl champions, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers come in your place 169 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: the second last game in the season, then going to 170 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: Buffalo in Western New York. UH, the Bills thirteen and 171 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: three last year undefeated inside the a FC East. There 172 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: are teams will be reckoned with they are for certain. 173 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: And you mentioned the Colts game, the lone primetime game 174 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: as it stands on this slate right now. I don't 175 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: want to say I was surprised that was a Thursday 176 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: night game, but I would not have selected I would 177 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: not have guessed that that would have been the Thursday 178 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: night games. You wouldn't keep what you originally said as 179 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: far as you would not have selected it, will you 180 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: you would not have selected it. I I don't understand 181 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: the Thursday night intrigue between the Colts and the Jets. 182 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's like a storyline there, and 183 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: if you want like somewhat of a hook, why not 184 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 1: do Jets Jacks Thursday night? Potentially the number one and 185 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: number two overall picks going up against each other first 186 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: time head coaches like Dad has a little more appeal 187 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: to me than Colts Jets playoff team number two overall 188 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: pick or you know, two and fourteen team last year. 189 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: I don't understand it. You always can look at the 190 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: quarterbacks right and and the Colts I think they potentially 191 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: have upgraded the quarterback position. Philip Rivers finishes out his 192 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: career there, they trade for Carson Wentz. Uh. That roster 193 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: is built up pretty well. Rex Hogan, the Jets assistant 194 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: GM had a hand in building that roster. We're seeing 195 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: the Jets do that right now with Joe Douglas and 196 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: company at the helm. Uh, trying to build this thing 197 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: up front. Of course, the Jets draft McKay backed in 198 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: two thousand twenty. They come back this year. Uh, you know, 199 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: let's not overlook the fact that the Jets had two 200 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: first round picks this year and they take Elijah Vera Tucker. So, uh, 201 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: you know, didn't you write about this the other day, 202 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: former or USC head coach Clay Helton has compared Elijah 203 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: Vera Tucker to That article has not been posted on 204 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: New York Jets dot com, but a little bit of 205 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: sneak peaked there. Basically, he compared their versatility because he said, 206 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: both of those guys are very good at guard on 207 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: the interior and they can get you out of a 208 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: pinch if you need either one of those guys to 209 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: play tackle. Of course, Elijah Vera Tucker played guard at 210 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 1: USC before he kicked out to tackle. In two thousands 211 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: twenty won the Morris Trophy award, which goes to the 212 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: best Pack twelve offensive and defensive lineman as voted by 213 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: the players in the conference. So the defensive players in 214 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: the Pack twelve voted Elijah Vera Tucker as the best 215 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: offensive lineman in the conference, which is cool. I know 216 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: that's kind of off track there, but now he got 217 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: me going. So you were talking about the Colson Thursday nights. 218 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: Do you think I like? I get it, okay, But 219 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: do you consider the Colts the a f C self 220 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: favorite or do you consider the Tennessee Titans, whom the 221 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: Jets host early in the season. And I think that's 222 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: a great question. Um. I would say the Colts right now, 223 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: because I think the Titans lost some players where including 224 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 1: Corey Davis, and they lost the Dory Jackson. I believe 225 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: they let go of Malcolm Butler. The Colts got Carson Wentz, 226 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: who you know, we'll see what what Carson Wentz looks 227 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: like after a questionable last season in Philadelphia. They just 228 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: addressed the offensive line the other day, adding former Chiefs 229 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: tackle Eric Fisher. Yeah, and that that offensive line has 230 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: been good for a long time now. So and they 231 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: got continuity from top to bottom. I mean I think 232 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: that bottom here. Let's just circle back on the Thursday night. 233 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: You have a New York market, you have a draw 234 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: on Robert Salam, you have potentially the number two overall 235 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: pick in the draft, and you have a playoff team 236 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 1: who could contend for the FC championship. If Zach Wilson 237 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: starts that game, you're looking at two quarterbacks elected number 238 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: two overall, both wearing number two. If Zach Wilson in 239 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: fact keeps number two, because I believe Carson Wentz is 240 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: now number two in Philadelphia after not wearing two in Philadelphia, 241 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: and then so let's move on here just looking at 242 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: the rest of the slate, I mean, not like a 243 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: whole lot of storylines, but the circle back what you 244 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: talked about before when you talk about guys playing former 245 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 1: teams and whatnot, and the storylines there. Obviously, there's Sam 246 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: Donald playing the Jets in week one, but then how 247 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: about Carl Lawson playing the Bengals in Week eight, Corey 248 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: Davis playing Tennessee in Week four. There's a lot of 249 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: that too. Jeff Albrick, the Jets defensive coordinator, coaching against 250 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: his former team last year in Week five in London. Yeah, 251 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: a lot of connections there. At Corey Davis nearly a 252 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,239 Speaker 1: thousand yards receiving last season for the Titans. He considers 253 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: himself a number one receiver. He joins a wide receiver 254 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: group that got a lot better this offseason, and New 255 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: York Jets. And then on the other side of the 256 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: ball for Tennessee, thinking about a j Brown, right, and 257 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: the connections he has with Elijah Moore and Corey Davis. 258 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: So that's that's a cool storyline. Carl Lawson, he disropted 259 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: the cornerback as well as anybody in terms of hits 260 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: and prussures last season. Now he's gonna be targeting Joey Burrow. 261 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: Did the Cincinnati Bengals do enough to address their offensive line? 262 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: Remember Burrow went down early last season. You know Lawson 263 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: will be amped for that game. You mentioned Jeff Albrick, 264 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: who was calling to defensive shots for the Atlanta Falcons 265 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: down the stretch last year. Did a great job. Raheem 266 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: Morris was interim head coach. But I think all Brick 267 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: really made his mark. He'll be contending with a group 268 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: that includes Matt Ryan, Julio Jones if he's still there 269 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: by the time the season starts. Kelvin Ridley and Kyle 270 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: Pitts the number four overall selection and the draft taking 271 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: two spots after Zack Wilson. Also Vinny Curry against the 272 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: Eagles like that one. Uh. Obviously Tom Brady against the Jets. 273 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 274 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: They've never won a road game at the Jets ever. Well, 275 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: I think Jets fans are crossing their fingers that remains 276 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: that record remains perfect. And also, the Jets have never 277 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: beaten the Philadelphia Eagles, who was added as the ninth 278 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: home game, and now that is Week thirteen, so the 279 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: Jets will host the Philadelphia Eagles old games seventeen. Alright, 280 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: so let's do something different here. Let's do early thoughts 281 00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: on each game. Run them down quick, Oh wow quick? 282 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: All right. Yeah, we're gonna have to rip through these. 283 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: So you wanna start Week one, alright? Week one, Jets 284 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: at Carolina. Everybody's gonna be talking about the quarterbacks, but 285 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to contain Christian McCaffrey, who is one 286 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: of the top offensive talents in all football, and also 287 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: Robby Anderson and DJ More. They add Terroris Marshall, and 288 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: I think the Jets can give you some problems up 289 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: front with what they're doing on the defensive side of 290 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: the ball, and then on the opposite side. It's the 291 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: first time we'll get a chance to see Mike la 292 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: Fleur at the helm calling offensive shots for the first time. 293 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: And I think Carolina's defense we'll see home against New 294 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: England Patriots. Fascinating off season, one of the most intriguing 295 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: off seasons all throughout the National Football League. Bill Belichick 296 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: has said this is Cam Newton is the starting quarterback 297 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: of the New England Patriots. With that being said, I 298 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: think the environment and Life Stadium is gonna be off, 299 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: especially if the Jets are able to squeak out a 300 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: win in Week one against the Panthers. I think MetLife 301 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: will be rocking week two. Then the Jets head out 302 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: west to take on the Broncos in Week three. Bronco's 303 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 1: interesting tim took Patrick certain Uh Alabama cornerback of one 304 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: of the top defensive players in the entire draft class. 305 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: They have a lot of pieces there gonna be riding 306 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: for Drew lock or is it or is it Teddy Bridgewater? Well, 307 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,959 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think that's part of the question. 308 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I think whoever's name started week one will 309 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 1: be started week three, assuming there's no injury. But I 310 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: think you know that Denver's got some interesting pieces on 311 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: the outside. They drafted Javonte Williams. You will have a 312 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: nice Javonte Williams. Michael Carter, Uh, Hello, I guess whatever 313 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: you wanna call it. But they'll be playing against each 314 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: other for the first time ever because they played with 315 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: each other for many years down in North Carolina, and 316 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: the Jets got numbers and offensive backfield. Like you mentioned, 317 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: Michael Carter, you know you look about the production that 318 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: both him and Jamante had at the college level that 319 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: was really something else. But uh, the Jets going a 320 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: mile high, they're gonna have to make sure they get 321 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: their air UM four or five kickoff there early in 322 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: the season Eastern time, right, yep. And then Week four 323 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: the Jets host the Titans. My first thought is, what's 324 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: that offense gonna look like without Arthur Smith? Yeah, you know, 325 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: but for me, it starts with Derrick Henry. You know, 326 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill has been awfully productive, but you're taking Corey 327 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: Davis out of the equation. Corey Davis now a New 328 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: York Jet, he will be amped for this game. Uh. 329 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: You know, if you can contain Henry, then I think 330 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 1: you can settle in and get after Tannehill and company. 331 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: On the other side of the ball. Um, They've got 332 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: some changes over there, but it's gonna be interesting to see, 333 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: Uh the Jets match up with his team. For my 334 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: mom any Tennessee has always been one of the most 335 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: physical ball clubs in the National Football League. Yeah, I 336 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: agree with that. And then Week five the Jets at 337 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: Atlanta technically, but it's really a neutral site game in 338 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,959 Speaker 1: London Tottenham. That's gonna be so cool. A great experience. 339 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: Who's gonna handle that better? Going overseas, going overseas, going 340 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: across the pond Atlanta. You mentioned Arthur Smith before. What's 341 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: gonna happen Mett Ryan this season? They still got a 342 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,479 Speaker 1: lot of weapons there in Atlanta. I like that all 343 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: Prig has got a lot of intel on those guys. 344 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: I can't wait to see his game plan for them. Yeah. 345 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: I think the defense also another question mark. What's that 346 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: gonna look like this year? But then the Jets have 347 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: the buy in Week six, then they go to New 348 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: England in week seven. I mean, we talked about New England, 349 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: so I'm just gonna keep going here. Week eight, the 350 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: Jets host the Bengals. Joey Burrow Company coming here. Jamaar Chase, 351 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: great receiver. Uh, you know, what are the Jets gonna 352 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: do upfront with that new four three h uh defensive look? 353 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: And then on the other side of the ball. You know, 354 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: I think this will be a point of the season 355 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: where you're kind of getting a feel for what the 356 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: Jets are offensively because it's that new system under the 357 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 1: Fleur and they're gonna try to run the football and 358 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: use the boots and get the quarterback out of the 359 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: rollouts and try to attack you down the field. I 360 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: think the Jets have gotten so much better at receiver. 361 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: Not sound like a broken record, but you like what 362 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,959 Speaker 1: you've seen out of Elijah Moore and that really small 363 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: sample size. These explosive player Corey Davis, Key Link Cole 364 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: and you do have talent at the skill positions right now. Yeah, 365 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: And I think that for the Bengals defense, they lost 366 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: William Jackson, so I think that I think the Jets 367 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: could take advantage of that defense, and I think the 368 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: Jets defensive front could take advantage of the Bengals offensive 369 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: line as it currently stands. Then Week nine, I mean, 370 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,479 Speaker 1: we talked about this at Indianapolis. Sure week, how you're 371 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: gonna deal with it, right, I think that's basically what 372 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: it comes down to. Their And then the Jets host 373 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: the Bills for the first time in the season Week ten, 374 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: first matchup, and just like how you're gonna deal with 375 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: the short week, the Jets now have ten days to 376 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: prepare for the a f C Each Champs. Yeah, and 377 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: that's nice and nice little break um after that game 378 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 1: with the Colts and the Bills. What they addressed in 379 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 1: the offseason that stood out was they resigned a lot 380 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: of their guys and then they went defensive line because 381 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: they want to be able to get after guys like 382 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and company. So how can that Jets new 383 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: look offensive line? I say new look because you're adding 384 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: a big piece of equation. Elijah Vera Tucker deal with 385 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 1: what the Bills are gonna try to bring up front. 386 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: And then the Jets host the Dolphins. And the one 387 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: thing I'll say about the Dolphins before you give your 388 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: two cents, is I know that they were had a 389 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: good record last year. They had a Jalen Waddle too, 390 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: you know, should be a better quarterback in his second season. 391 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: That defense let go of a lot of key pieces, 392 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: Kyle van Noy, Bobby McCaine. I mean, they let go 393 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: of some good players and some captains on that team. Man. 394 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: I know Brian Flores got some tricks up his sleeve, 395 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: but I got some questions, how's that defense gonna look fair? 396 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: But they are very good at the cornerback position, and 397 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: perhaps they got the top pass rushing talent and an 398 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: entire draft class and Jayalen Phillips. Yeah, yeah, a good point. 399 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: So we'll see what that defense looks like because they 400 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: did some shuffling as well. Then the Jets go and 401 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: play at the Texans week twelve. Jordan Jenkins now on 402 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: that team, Terrence Brooks, a couple of former Jets. I 403 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: don't really know what to make of the Texans. I mean, 404 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: it just feels like they made a lot of free 405 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: agency moves. Obviously, the big question is who's playing quarterback 406 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 1: for them? Is it Tyrod Taylor is it? Or is 407 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: it Stanford's Davis Mills? Davis Mills. So they just selected 408 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: in the draft. Uh, yeah, they have some issues to 409 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: deal with because everybody's watching the Shawn Watson um dealings 410 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: unfold here and we don't know what's gonna happen with that. 411 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: But right now, Uh, the Houston Texans are a team 412 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: that very much in transition. And would it surprise you 413 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: at all if Houston was one of those teams we're 414 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 1: talking about potentially could have the top overall draft pick 415 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: next year, No, it would not be surprising. And then 416 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: Week thirteen, the Jets played the Eagles, and I think 417 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: with the Eagles, obviously there are a lot of questions 418 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: going into the season, but it seems like the riding 419 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: with Jalen Hurts. But also by week thirteen, I think 420 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,239 Speaker 1: you'll know you'll have your answer with Jalen Hurts one 421 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 1: way or another. Wouldn't you say that's fair? I'd agree 422 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: with that. And how about the little divisional trade in 423 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: round one of the draft? Is the Eagles get Davante Smith? Huh? Yeah, 424 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: that's true too, so, uh, we'll see the former Heisman 425 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: Trophy winner. And the Jets addressed a cornerback position on 426 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: Day three of the draft that got a lot of 427 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 1: youth at that position. Um, and the Eagles took Landon 428 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: Dickerson to fortify the line up in round two. Yeah, 429 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,719 Speaker 1: no doubt about that. So yeah, they've got some changes 430 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: in changing pieces. Uh. I don't know where the Eagles 431 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: are at right now. Yeah, I think me neither neither. 432 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: I could see it going either way. And and I 433 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: mean you talked about question marks at quarterback in New 434 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints come to town? Is it Jamis is it Taysom? 435 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: Could we have a b y U B y u 436 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: quarterback matchup? I wonder how many times in history in 437 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: NFL history that's happened where you've had two starting quarterbacks 438 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: both be by you guys. Yeah, well, it certainly could 439 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 1: be Hill and it certainly could be Jamis. And even 440 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: if it is Jamis, Hill is gonna take snaps at 441 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: the quarterback position, so you have to be prepared for that. 442 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: I do think people might be overlooking the Saints a 443 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 1: little bit. Yes, Drew Brees was as good as they 444 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: come at the quarterback position. What a career he had. 445 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: I just think the coach is so good there, Sean Payton, 446 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: and he always seems to get things done. You can 447 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: talk about, oh, maybe they've st going to the playoffs 448 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 1: on occasion and stuff like that. You can't debate this 449 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: guy's record what he's done over the years. But yeah, 450 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: they're starting a new era there and the defense is 451 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: pretty good. People will see what happens with Marshawn Lattimore. 452 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: I know he was he was facing charges. They lost 453 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson. But Michael Thomas, if he's a hundred percent healthy, 454 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: I mean he wasn't last year, and the saying still 455 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: did pretty well without him. To Barrio Davis has become 456 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: you know, what a career he's had. Former New York 457 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: Jet and for me, one of the top storylines that 458 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: I'm looking at for the Jets is how is this 459 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 1: all going on? Folded? Linebacker? Got Jared Davis here, c J. 460 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: Moseley hopefully returning Blake Cashman, and then you address the 461 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: linebacker position taking a couple of former box safeties in 462 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: Jamie and Sherwood and hamsa N Dean. That's right, Yeah, 463 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: So how how much can those guys contribute in year 464 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: one and will they be playing big roles for the 465 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: Jets against the sat Right. Also, I mean, I think 466 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: we often don't talk about Blake Cashman because he's been 467 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 1: hurt the past two years, but someone that I think 468 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: would fit the system well if he's fully healthy, because 469 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: he's got that spece and Mosley is an awfully good 470 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: football player. We forget that because we haven't seen much 471 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,719 Speaker 1: of them. But C J. Molesley could be a difference maker. Absolutely. 472 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 1: I think I think he's kind of a you know, 473 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: he's a wild card. Week sixteen, the Jets host of 474 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. The obvious storyline here is number one and 475 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: number two Trevor Lawrence and Zack Wilson. But also it 476 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: feels like the Jets and the Jaguars kind of married 477 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: with their paths. First year head coach, first year head coach, quarterback, quarterback. 478 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: Both had a lot of money to spend in the 479 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 1: off season, both had a lot of draft capital. So 480 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: I think that what I like about this and having 481 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: them week sixteen is that you kind of know what 482 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna be thrown at you, whereas if you played 483 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,199 Speaker 1: them early in the year, you don't really know what 484 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: urban Meyer is gonna want to do on either side 485 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: of the ball there. Yeah, you know, and he's gonna 486 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: be one of the top storylines that people are gonna 487 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: track throughout the two thousand twenty one season is how 488 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: has one of the top college coaches in history of 489 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: the game make the transition to the National Football League. Obviously, 490 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: you thought this was a very unique opportunity going there 491 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 1: and get the number one pick, a special prospect and 492 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Um, yeah, I said, I see some parallels here. Um, 493 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 1: but well, to see what happens again. Robert Sala used 494 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: to be an assistant coach there in Jacksonville. So much 495 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: has changed since then. You know, I'm curious of your 496 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 1: thoughts before we wrap up here, one more opponent. I 497 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: saw something about, you know, I think it's Bleacher Report 498 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:45,959 Speaker 1: tweeted about Trevor Lawrence's supporting cast James Robinson, Travis E, TN, 499 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: DJ Shark, Levisca, Channal, Marvin Jones Jr. And now it 500 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: seems like Tim Tebow will be joining the fold there. 501 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: So what do you think about Lawrence's supporting cast versus 502 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: let's say Wilson supporting cast. I think people have a 503 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: stigma attached to the Jets. Is simul Jets? Well it's 504 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: not simule Jets. Um. Are the Jets gonna be one 505 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: of the most prolific offenses in football next year? I 506 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't say that, but we talked about Michael Carter before, 507 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman, Ty Johnson, LA, Michael p Ryan, Josh Adams. 508 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: How is that running back by committee going to shake 509 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 1: out tight end position? What is Chris Herndon going to 510 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 1: look like in this system wide receiver? I'm gonna bang 511 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: the drama on that until we get to Week one 512 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: because the people are sleeping on the Jets receivers. Dunsl 513 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: Memsy flashed last year. What is he gonna become when 514 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: he has a full off season under his bout. We'll 515 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: have to see. Corey Davis has a proven commodity in 516 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: the National Football League. Jameson Crowder would have been a 517 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,959 Speaker 1: thousand yard receiver last year had he not gotten injured. 518 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 1: Keelan Cole was one of the Jacksonville Jaguars most productive players. 519 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: There then Elijah More, most people think that he was 520 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: a top first round talent, top half or second half 521 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: of the first round talent. He was the most productive 522 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: receiver in the best conference in college football that had 523 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: the trophy winner. That's right. So Elijah More enters the 524 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: Fray as well. So I do like the Jets and 525 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: as far as what they're doing at the skill positions, 526 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: and they're not done. But I would not you asked 527 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: me the question, I wouldn't think that, Oh, Trevor Lawrence 528 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: has a far different starting point than what Zack Wilson does. No, 529 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: I do think the one the one thing with the Jaguars. 530 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: I think that DJ Shark gets a little overlooked. I 531 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: think he's a He's a good player, but very good, 532 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: very good player. But I'm just looking at his totality. Yeah, 533 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: I agree. I agree with everything you said. And then 534 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: you know, it's almost fitting that the Jets end the 535 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: season at Buffalo. But we've discussed Buffalo, So it's only 536 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: fitting that we end Tom Brady returning to MetLife Stadium, 537 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: and he has a very good record against the Jets. 538 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: I mean, he's the only team he's beat more than 539 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: the Jets is the Buffalo Bills, who, of course the 540 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: Buccaneers will face because they played the ANFC East. It's 541 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: so hard to repeat. You mentioned it to me when 542 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: I looked at that final four games, and I said, wow, 543 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: that's a tough finishing kick those final two games, and 544 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: you said, well, what are the Buccaneers and the Bill 545 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: is going to be playing for at that point? Could 546 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:43,479 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay runaway with the NFC self? Potentially? On paper 547 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: it sets up like that. We don't know what's gonna 548 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: happen as far as injuries and things like that, but 549 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: they are an overwhelming favorite. A lot of people think 550 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: they could be playing for the super Bowl once again 551 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: this year, whereas last year people thought, oh the Jets, 552 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: but can years are gonna get their feet while Tom 553 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: Pratty of course, then win the championship. Uh, I think 554 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna have a tougher road, but we'll 555 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: have to see what happens. But if both those teams 556 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: are playing for a lot of things down the stretch. 557 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: That's as tough as a final two games as you 558 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: will find. I've looked at all thirty two teams schedules, 559 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: but nobody's gonna have as tough as those final two 560 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: games as New York Jets. Yeah. I agree with that, 561 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: and that is a perfect way to end this edition 562 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: of the Official Jet Podcast. The Jets two thousand one 563 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: schedule release, presented by Jeff Lilli
