WEBVTT - Jets OTA Observations with Brian Baldinger (6/4) 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:07.480 All right, my man Baldy is here at one Jet's Drive. 0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:11.479 We're taping this here in June, this time of year. 0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:16.600 You never take any time off. Take time off. 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:19.000 I mean, you know, I'm coming back from an injury, 0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:21.320 so if I get a chance to go watch football, 0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:23.800 it takes my mind off the injury. You know, these 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:26.599 kind of things happen. So look, you get a chance 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:29.040 to watch one of the thirty two teams in this league. 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.440 With Anon Rodgers out there directing traffic and seeing some 0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:34.680 of the new guys out there, it's it's worth my time. 0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:37.519 All right, let's suck injuries. What was your latest surgery. 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.040 My latest surgery was I had to get a tricep 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:45.200 tendon reattached. And when you get tendons attached, like Annon 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.600 Rodgers had his achilles attached, I got my tricep attached. 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.040 I mean, it's all the same. You gotta you know, 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:56.080 they they anchor the tendon with the suture and they 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.640 sew the tendon to the suture, and then you just 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.200 need to let it rest. You have to fight the urge. 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:03.840 Get out there and do Baldy kind of things. Get 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:05.720 out there and dive and fish and do the things. 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:07.720 I like to do, so you have to. You have 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.200 to just basically buckle down and just say I can't 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:11.400 do it for two and a half months. 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:12.080 Just let it heal. 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.440 But you're not completely off. Morgan Moses was in the seat. 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.959 Very recently told us he tore a pack yep when 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.760 he was blocking Miles Garrett of the Browns. He thought 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.040 he was having a heart attack during a game, but 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.760 he ended up not only finishing that game but for 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:30.479 the season. Yeah, playing the rest of the season. You're 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:34.360 in the gym. Yeah, you're lifting with one hand, lift 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:35.720 with one one arm. 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.520 So bandit right now. 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.000 Yeah, And it looks weird to everybody that sees me 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.840 in the gym, but there's signs behind it that if 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.000 you just work out with your good arm and your 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.160 good side of your body, you can maintain your muscle mass. 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:51.800 On the other side, you won't atrophy as much as 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:53.000 if you didn't do anything at all. 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.200 Here's a secret with Baldy, he's never out of the gym. 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.280 Well, you have to, like, I'm trying to maintain whatever 0:01:59.280 --> 0:01:59.920 I got left. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.720 Yeah, you know, so thirteen surgery, as though you told me. 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:08.480 My thirteenth surgery. Yeah, knees sports hernias, you know, Meta 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:13.320 Taar sols, carpal tunnel, you know, stuff just happened overall. 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.920 You're feeling. I feel good today. Today I'm doing the 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.400 white out and I got the zinc sunscreen. I just 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.520 got to protect myself from the sun and my smart 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.280 My hair might be more gray than usual because I 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.480 got some of the zinc up there. But you come 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:31.200 in with the ball, these breakdown shirt, the red yes, 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.399 and I'm kind of upset because I want mine. 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:33.639 Yeah. 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.560 Well we're you know, we're we're just getting them to 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.840 the presses now, Okay, So we will have we'll have 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:42.000 these things stocked up here pretty soon, maybe if I 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.200 come certainly by time I come in the summer training 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.600 camp will outfit the whole staff. But even maybe by 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.680 next week when I come back for mandatory mini camp, 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:53.120 maybe I'll have some in tow. 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.959 I like the red. It's popping. So when you're out there, 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.959 you're watching from the balcony up here in the second 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.320 floor at one Jets Drive, what are you looking at 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.799 in terms of guys being out there in shorts, Well. 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.560 I mean the connection that Aaron Rodgers has with Garrett Wilson, 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:12.399 like to every Jet fan. It's it's good the ball 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:16.040 doesn't hit the ground. Anytime Garrett's targeted the ball, it 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.959 gets caught, you know, whatever type of acrobatic move. 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:19.440 He's got to make. 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.959 Like he just has these legs that just have a 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:23.600 lot of life to. 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.320 Him, you know, so he's bouncing. 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.480 I'm looking at Brayln Allen, you know, the rookie running 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:33.320 back at Wisconsin, and wisconstantly don't total football to the 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:35.960 running backs. It's just not part of their offense. But 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.600 he's lining up a wide receiver. He's catching everything they're 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.960 through to him. And you see look at Isaiah Davis. They're, 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.040 you know, running back out of South Dakota State. Like 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:47.520 both those kids are big guys, and with Breis Hall 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:49.360 not practicing today, they've got a lot of reps. 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:50.080 So I see that. 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.560 Then I'm looking at Keith Carter coaching the offense lines. 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:57.600 So you're looking at Olu Fashion who playing strictly left tackle. 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.840 You're looking at a pumped up, beefed up Carter Warren 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.520 in the second year. You know, you're looking at Joe Tipman, 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.960 you know, taking all the snaps, so you know you're 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.360 looking at some pieces John Simpson coming in playing guard, 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.880 you know, next to Olu right now playing left guard. 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:13.800 So you're just looking at some of the pieces that 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:17.120 you can project, you know, down the road this season, 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.120 where they're going to be, what they might be doing. 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:24.200 Does it surprise you? Again, it's summer. I know the 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.440 pads aren't on, so everything's going to change when the 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.080 pads come on. But Brylin Allen's twenty years old. You 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.840 talked about him not getting many opportunities to catch the 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:36.640 ball Wisconsin. Yeah, and he caught some balls, but he's 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:40.120 out here today. He made a catch thirty five yards 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:41.839 down the field with a little linebacker. 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:42.560 Yeah. 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.599 Back shoulder, yeah, back shoulder adjusted to the ball in 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:49.240 the air. Everything I saw him catch, he caught it 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:50.880 with his hands. He didn't catch it with his body. 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.360 He trusts his hands. I think he's got good hands. 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.800 I mean, it's one day that i've seen him live, 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:57.240 so I you know, I don't I'm not going to 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:01.200 go crazy, but it's encouraging, you know. They they did 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:02.800 a lot of empty sets today. They put him out 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.360 at wide receiver. The one you're talking about was coming 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:06.520 right into our living room. 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:08.160 Yep. It was a nice adjustment. 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:12.359 In fact, It basically got about the biggest resound of 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:16.280 applause by the offense all day with that catch that 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:17.840 really finished a period. 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.080 How advantageous is it for the young dudes out here 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:26.560 that Aaron is here at OTAs Because Aaron himself personally, 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.200 he doesn't have to be out there, but with those 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.400 guys being around and getting those reps with him and 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.159 also being coached up by him. 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:37.720 Well, you know Aaron, well he was. It's important. It's 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:38.800 really important, and I'll. 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:39.160 Tell you why. 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.320 Because we know that breist Hall is gonna line up 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.040 and he's going to get you know, seventy percent of 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.400 the snaps at running back. Okay, he's an elite player, 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.440 but you know, to work with Braylen Allen, to work 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.400 with Isaiah Davis, to work you know, you look at Rutger, 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.720 Jeremy Rutcker right now. You know it looks like he's 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.200 going to have a bigger role. Like all these things, 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.560 you can't have enough timing with any of these players, 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.159 you know, whether it's an adjustment, whether it's a play call, 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.400 whether it's seeing it the way he sees it. I 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:13.240 think it's incredibly valuable people can they can undermine what 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:18.640 voluntary OTA's are, but for a guy like Aaron, he 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:20.680 needs all this time with all these young guys he 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:22.760 can get. You don't know when they're going to get 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:24.640 their chance or when they need him to take a chance. 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:26.760 And anything that you can. 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:31.279 Communicate right now can transfer to summer, to the fall, 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.960 and to when the games really matter, when you get 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:35.159 to Thanksgiving and beyond. 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.800 He literally is a field general because we're watching out 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:42.120 there today he was having another rookie running back, Isaiah 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.760 Davis motion out of the I don't want to give 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:48.160 too much away. Let's just say he lined up outside, 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:53.000 but he before the snap, he got a little excited. 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.320 He wanted to get out there in a pass pattern, 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.800 and Aaron pointed the sideline that went like this. 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.719 He went like he literally made the switch right like 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.520 only and not to punish the kid, like he knows 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.400 he made a mistake, but like you know, they can't 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.760 afford those mistakes, Like it's it's a it's a mental 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:16.400 error on you know, Isaiah Davis's fault. Uh part, it's 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.320 a it's a mental error. And so you just have 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:21.120 to you just have to that that rookie has to 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.640 know that that's not going to be tolerated by Aaron 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:27.040 the staff Robert Saliz standing behind the offense when that happened, 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.880 like immediately, I said it before it happened, I said him. 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:30.320 He's going out. 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:34.240 Yeah, he's going out like I because you know, in 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:35.920 some places you go and you take a lap you 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:37.800 when you make a mistake like that. Now they're not 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.320 doing that here. They've done that in other places, but like, 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.160 you just can't tolerate a mistake like that. 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:48.480 How about the way Aaron manipulates the funders. There's a 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:53.560 situation here late in practice where he's looking off to 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.960 the right and obviously it's gonna make you pause for 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.120 a second. Then he comes back all the way across 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.920 cross field. Take Xavier Gibson. Yeah, for what ended up 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.440 being a fifty nine yard touchdown. Here's the situation it was. 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.600 Then in the half was seven to five, offense has 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:10.520 the ball. There was a little bit more than a 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:14.080 minute on the clock. Can you get into scoring territory? 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.720 It took Aaron Rodgers one play not to get in 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.360 scool touchdown. 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:19.240 But I've seen him. 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:23.320 I've seen him run that play in Green Bay many 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.480 times over the years. Where it's play action roll right, 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.720 And what you're doing on that role is a you're 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:33.319 you're resetting the protection, but you're allowing Xavier Gibson get 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:35.920 down the field, right and uh, and then he just 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:39.840 launched it, you know, and he's had you know, that's 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:41.520 a play that he's had a lot of success with 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.400 in his career. And sometimes it is just a one 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.920 play drive. You know, you're you're you're, you're going for 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:47.559 the home run. 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:48.040 Uh. 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.440 It's a contested catch by Gibson against the safety. I 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.640 think that was there Tony Adams, and he came down 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:55.920 with the ball and it was one play he was 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:57.080 off the field touchdown. 0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:57.560 Yeah. 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:00.520 Every time we're out there in the pray this field, 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:04.640 Aaron Rodgers makes a throw and you say, wow, maybe 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:08.320 a couple of practices. It's it's a few throws, but 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:10.240 he's he's still got it. 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.800 Oh yeah, and I think he knows that he's got it, 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:16.480 and he also knows what happened last year. And look, 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.120 everybody's going to get excited about all these throws. They're 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.360 going to put it in social media, right A right, 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:26.240 nobody is going to get excited really until you know, 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:29.000 they get to Week one in San Francisco and Nick 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.240 bos is barreling down on him, you know, and he's 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.880 got to make this throw against an elite defense. So 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.280 I mean, that's but but that's fine, that's okay, he 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:40.080 knows that. But at the same time, you still have 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:43.040 to go the guy still has a live arm. Yeah, 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.240 it's it's a very live arm. The ball still spins, 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.320 he can put it anywhere he wants to put it, 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.800 and so he still has elite talent throwing the football. 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:53.920 It's fun to watch. Let's flip it the defensive side 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.640 of the ball. The Jets have talked about maybe using 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:01.240 sauce gardener as a trail more than in the past. 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:05.040 They've done it in the past, not frequently. And you 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.760 do have the luxury of having a guy Oppositey that 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.400 you have a lot of confidence in and a very 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.719 solid player in DJ Reid. But what would that do 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:18.199 for the defense as far as saying, okay, well you 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:21.200 got a top receiver, maybe this week I'm gonna throw 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:22.120 sauce on him. 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.160 Well, sometimes there's a different ways to do it. First 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.240 of all, it's a change up for the defense, all right, 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.959 So you're not really sure to the offense how they're 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.000 gonna line up. But there's a couple of different ways 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.800 to do that. One is you could put Sauce on 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:39.080 the number two receiver and double team the. 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:39.880 Number one receiver. 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:42.920 Or you could put Sauce on the number one receiver 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:47.040 you know, and and then play you know, DJ on 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:49.600 the other side. Whatever like all those but you should 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:53.880 play around with different different styles because it can both 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:55.400 be effective sometimes. 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:57.840 We've talked about it in the past, but there's a 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.520 lot of changing faces there along there on the line. 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.800 I know, we can't seal out right now. Son Reddick, 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:04.760 he wasn't out there on the field today. He will 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.400 be out there at mandatory mini camp whenever this runs. 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.559 What do you think about the dynamics up front? You 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.199 got the star with Quinn Williams, you got Jermain coming 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:18.520 off a big second year, you got Reddick coming in quietly, 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.319 the Jets have changed some parts next to Quinn and 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:25.240 Williams because Lucky Photo is going to be here, as 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:29.199 is Javon Kinlaw and those guys replace a pair of 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:34.800 veterans in Quentin Jefferson el Woods. And then also let's 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:38.000 see what will McDonald has in his second season. Can 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:38.840 he make an other jump. 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.640 Well, yeah, but we saw Jermaine make a huge jump 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:43.800 last year, you know, a huge jump, and that's the 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.360 jump that you hope Will makes this year. Can he 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:50.920 make the jump where Jermaine became a really legitimate starting. 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:53.520 Defense fan that. 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.280 Looks like he's got Pro Bowl potential, Like he's on 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:56.840 that track. 0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:59.120 A son. Reddick is an a player. 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:01.640 He just you know, he's used to playing sixty five 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:05.080 seventy percent of the snaps. He started last year with 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.920 a broken thumb or hand whatever it was, and it 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.600 hampered him a little bit, but he he still has 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.760 elite change the direction. He has a variety of moves 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:19.320 to win. You get inside push from quinnin sally kin Law, 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:23.880 like the guys inside right now, Jermaine outside, Like you 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.600 could get a NASCAR line with Will and Jermaine and 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.040 Hassan and Quinn. I mean, there's there's gonna be some 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.360 good change ups here. What you hope, though, is what 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.959 never materialized last year where this team could play with 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:38.840 the league in the second half. You just didn't score 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:42.200 enough points. So can you get to the second half, 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.640 late third quarter, fourth quarter with the lead where teams 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.880 basically have to throw to catch up and if you do, 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.520 they were pretty good last year. They had twenty six, 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:55.280 twenty seven takeaways. Like, this is a defense. That's that's 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.120 the step that they got to take. They got to 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.720 take the ball away even more. And I think if 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.760 you get give this defensive lead, this defensive line a lead, 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.600 and you let them pin their ears back, like we 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:10.000 could see some big number sack wise and takeaways. 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.680 Wise, Howard team's going to try to detect the Jets 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.840 defense on paper. I know it's June. Not a lot 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:19.120 of weaknesses there. We mentioned the defensive line, you go 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.600 back to the cornerbacks. You have to say the Jets 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:27.520 top three is up there with anybody. Yeah, you got CJ. 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:31.560 Moseley and Quincy Williams the team out there in the middle. 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.440 I know, it's interesting. Robert s always asked about it. 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.400 Today said, do you think that these guys can hold 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:41.480 up on the edge, the Hassan Raddicks of the world, 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:45.240 the Will McDonald's. They're to forty two point fifty. Are 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.719 teams going to try to attack the perimeter here? 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:50.920 Well, it always starts with stopping the run. Yeah, it 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:51.800 just always does. 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.640 You know, Buffalo changed their offense last year mid season fire, 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.840 the offensive coordinator went to the running game. Josh Allen 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:01.840 became a bigger part of it. James Cook really took off, 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.160 Like there's a team that wants to run the ball different. 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.880 You know, they're they're looking a little bit different now, 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.319 two tight end sets playing to their strings. So it's 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.360 always going to start with their ability to stop the run. 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.320 And so yes, those guys will get tested on the edge, 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.840 no doubt. If Will's out there and Hassim's out there, 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:22.600 like you got undersized defensive ends. Okay, well, I mean 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:26.800 Hasan's been like that, as you know, since he transferred 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.080 from off the ball inside linebacker, how he started in 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.840 Arizona team, what he did in Carolina and then Philadelphia. 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:35.360 All right, but he's you know, he's a very skilled 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:39.360 player out there on the edge, and so you know, 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.400 you want to test it, go test it. 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:47.080 The Jets have had the Bills kryptonite. I think when 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:50.120 you look at their matchups and you're talking about Buffalo 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:54.240 shifting strategies, when you look at the division, how much 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:59.600 of these roster constructions with the Jets, with Miami, with 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.360 buff flow. I'm not even gonna put New England in 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.720 that category because I think they're in a different spot 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:09.760 right now. But how much do these management teams have 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:13.000 to look at those three teams and say, we're playing 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:14.200 them twice a year. 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:18.000 Oh look, I mean Miami speed is ridiculous. And their 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.960 ability to run the ball. I mean, look, Devon h 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.160 Chan averaged almost eight yards of carry last year as 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.400 a change of pace back to a he moster and 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.720 then they just you know, drafted jail and right. I mean, 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:31.680 they've got three home run hitters in the backfield, and 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.760 they have three home run hitters at receiver, and so 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.720 how do you affect Tua like and he gets the 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.120 ball out quick? So you know, they do a lot 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.880 of things motion wise, formation wise in the run game, 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.080 and so you have to you have to match up 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.040 to that, you know, And so you've got to defeat 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.960 one on one blocks, you've got to defeat their stretch game, 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.960 their zone stretch game. There's a lot there and all 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:57.480 of their motions and shifts cause you to really blink 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:03.440 and freeze. And so that's that's them, you know, Buffalo. Look, 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:08.080 I don't know the receivers yet. Keon Coleman's a rookie, Okay, 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:10.800 it looks like that's a perfect matchup for Sauce to 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.000 go up and just take a big receiver out and 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.600 make Josh Allen do things with it. But Josh Allen's 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.040 a Bill. He ran for fifteen touchdowns last year. Everic, 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:21.240 you know, this is a guy that you have to 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.920 account for in so many different ways. 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.120 Do you think when the Bills were making their team, 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.760 they're looking at the Jets defensively when you're talking about 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:34.520 that offense strategic shift, or are they looking at Kansas 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.720 City and saying, hey, we want toll to toll with 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.080 them for sixty minutes. That's the beast, that's the team 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:39.640 we got to beat. 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.160 Well, they've won the division four years, right, Okay, four 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:48.760 years straight division champs, So you always build your team 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.720 to beat the division winner, right to try to take 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:56.080 Buffalo down. So you know, have they done enough to 0:16:56.400 --> 0:17:00.000 you know, use Quincy and CJ as spies in some form, 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:02.920 you know, on Josh so that when he does escape, 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:06.960 he limit the damage. They've got tight ends that both 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:10.199 can run. Dawson Knox and Dalton Kinkaid. Like how you're 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:13.280 handling the tight ends. You know, they could be mismatches 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:15.720 if you put Kincaid against Michael Carter on the slot, 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.600 like how you're handling that mismatch. I feel like you've 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:21.359 got to build your roster to go take down the 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.240 Buffalo Bills, and I feel like that's what Miami is 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:25.160 trying to do as well. 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:27.720 Yeah, and I feel like the Jets, and we talked 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:31.439 about it before. I think on paper, the Jets do 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:33.800 have a roster that should be able to take down 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:35.800 on the Bills. They should be able to take down 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.800 to Miami Dolphins. But do you see this as a 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:41.040 three horse race? 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:42.480 Yeah? I see its three horses, you do. 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:45.359 Yeah, I don't think like I'm not discounting New England, no, 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:48.639 because it's just gonna be so different what Girod's doing, 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.480 what Elliott Wolf the general manager is doing. He's just 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:54.320 gonna be such a departure from how they build a team, 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.760 how they design, you know, game plans just gonna be 0:17:57.840 --> 0:17:59.879 so different than what you've seen for twenty plus years. 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:01.720 So you just have to kind of wait. I don't 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:05.159 think they have a very talented roster. They'll do what 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:07.000 everything they have to do in order to try to 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.240 win games. But you know, obviously, you know the Jets 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:13.440 have had a hard time beating the Patriots defense. So 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:15.679 I think they're going to be very very good. Yeah, 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:18.800 and so they probably will do a pretty good job 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:22.479 of keeping to score under twenty points and playing close games. 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.359 What do you make of the AFC as a whole. 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:30.080 Kansas City is a dynastic team. I mean, that's a dynasty. 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:33.560 Right now, we're watching Jim Harrobaugh has returned to the 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:36.399 National Football leagus taken over the Chargers. You got his 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:41.720 brother John in Baltimore. You have four teams the AFC 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:44.400 North that you could sit there and say, hey, those 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:48.240 are playoff teams. I got CJ. Stroud and the Houston Texans. 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:51.080 Indianapolis is trying to get into that mix with their 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:54.200 young quarterback Anthony Richardson. I know Jacksonville is high hopes 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:56.880 with Trevor Lawrence. And we've been talking about the FC 0:18:57.440 --> 0:18:59.760 East as well. What do you make of this conference? 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.040 It's wicked. It's a wicked stretch. 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:08.280 Some of these teams, like the AFC North, Baltimore, I 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:09.920 mean Pittsburgh actually was five. 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:11.760 And one in their division last year, which is crazy. 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:15.399 Three teams made the playoffs. Okay, you know in the 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:18.399 AFC North, they have the three toughest schedules on paper. 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:22.120 To start the season, Cleveland the toughest schedule, followed by 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:26.680 Baltimore and Pittsburgh. So it's it's a brutal schedule. So 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:29.600 they're going to beat up each other when Joe Burrow 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:33.800 plays seventeen games. They're a completely different franchise. Yeah, so 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:39.720 the quarterbacks are elite. Russell Wilson, like Pittsburgh made the 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:43.040 playoffs last year, won ten games, and their three quarterbacks 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:47.320
