Speaker 1: Sometimes you need to call an audible and we did
Speaker 1: this week on the podcast. We've got a training camp
Speaker 1: preview and reaction to some big news coming in this
Speaker 1: week for the Jets and their young stars. Le Jay
Speaker 1: Dousable is here and we're breaking it all downe we
Speaker 1: meet anybody in the world, and I think we're gonna win.
Speaker 2: Next Sunday to the scot That's wonder stream.
Speaker 1: Can't wait.
Speaker 3: Put your seat belts on and get ready for the ride.
Speaker 1: Official Jets Podcast is presented by Kendra Scott, the jewelry
Speaker 1: company that's shining bright and doing good shop Game Day,
Speaker 1: jewelry styles and so much more at kendrascott dot com.
Speaker 1: Let's welcome in, Lejayouzable. You were just at a cooking class.
Speaker 1: The Jets front office has been cooking themselves the last
Speaker 1: twenty four hours.
Speaker 3: I mean, what can you say about the Jets and
Speaker 3: this new regime. GM Darren Muji and also head coach
Speaker 3: Aaron Glenn locking in two foundational pieces, one on each
Speaker 3: side of the football. Start with Garrett Wilson yesterday and
Speaker 3: that was the massive news around the NFL being paid
Speaker 3: a top five receiver. He is one of five receivers
Speaker 3: in NFL history to start their career in the first
Speaker 3: three years with over eighty receptions each year and over
Speaker 3: a thousand yard receiving each year. The difference between Garrett
Speaker 3: Wilson and those guys hea He's played with.
Speaker 4: Seven different quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: Let me say that again, seven different quarterbacks, and yet
Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson continues to go.
Speaker 4: Out there and produce at a high level.
Speaker 3: And then obviously Sauce Garner, we actually kind of kid ea.
Speaker 3: We were talking off camera and everybody was wondering what
Speaker 3: SaaS be the next guy? And obviously you would think
Speaker 3: same draft class, what he's done his first three years.
Speaker 4: To me, the only question was how much more was he.
Speaker 3: Going to get than Derek Stingley Junior who set the
Speaker 3: market at thirty million.
Speaker 4: Well he went a little bit above that at thirty
Speaker 4: point one.
Speaker 3: So also a great job by GM Darren Moojie in
Speaker 3: the front office to get that deal done with Sauce Garner,
Speaker 3: a up and rising star at the cornerback position.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about Sauce today taking the social media announcing
Speaker 1: the deal is done.
Speaker 2: This is only the beginning, He said.
Speaker 1: He appreciated the Jets organization for believing in him, his
Speaker 1: teammates for the blood, sweat and tears we put in
Speaker 1: in Jets Nation. He appreciates all them for supporting him.
Speaker 1: So he's pumped. Bottom line here again, these two guys
Speaker 1: we're taping Tuesday night. We actually tape Tuesday morning, but
Speaker 1: we had to scratch that because Sauce's agreement came in
Speaker 1: later in the afternoon. That neither one of these guys
Speaker 1: have signed their contracts yet, but all signs are pointing
Speaker 1: to both Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner signing and then
Speaker 1: they will be part of the New York Jets organization
Speaker 1: at least until two thousand and thirty.
Speaker 3: I mean again, great to lock in foundational pieces. Ea,
Speaker 3: the Jets have kind of been synonymous the last couple
Speaker 3: of years of letting homegrown talent walk out the door.
Speaker 4: Via trade or via free agency.
Speaker 3: We just go down memory lane, right, Jamal Adams talk
Speaker 3: about Leonard Williams, a guy like Sheldon Richardson, And I
Speaker 3: know things didn't work out with Sam Donald, but he
Speaker 3: had his best career year last year and it wasn't
Speaker 3: in the Jets uniform. So even when you look at
Speaker 3: a guy like quinnin Williams right, his deal took a
Speaker 3: little bit. It wasn't until the fourth year. I believe
Speaker 3: he got his deal done. So I think they're setting
Speaker 3: a new precedent here with this new regime that if
Speaker 3: you ball out in your home grown we're gonna take
Speaker 3: care of you because we want to retain our own
Speaker 3: homegrown players. And I think free agents looking to come
Speaker 3: potentially play for the Jets, you like that, right because
Speaker 3: a team is rewarding a guy that's done it the
Speaker 3: right way, that's been homegrown, and you're taking care of
Speaker 3: him before you actually have to. So I think this
Speaker 3: is a good president that Aaron Glenn and the GM
Speaker 3: Darren Moodie are setting for the New York Jets, and
Speaker 3: all signs are pointing it heading to a new direction
Speaker 3: in regards to taking care of homegrown players a little
Speaker 3: bit earlier, a little bit earlier than later in their career.
Speaker 1: Quinn Williams got that long term extension after four seasons,
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson getting their long term extensions after.
Speaker 2: Three season, three seasons.
Speaker 1: When you're talking about Gardner, he's gonna turn twenty five
Speaker 1: in August.
Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson's going to turn.
Speaker 1: Twenty five on report Day, which is July twenty second,
Speaker 1: So you got to think that, hey, they're off the
Speaker 1: good starts in their careers, but these guys can actually
Speaker 1: get better.
Speaker 2: Lejay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we always said when we were playing, like your
Speaker 3: premium years are usually like twenty four through twenty eight, right,
Speaker 3: and they're right in the middle of that age range
Speaker 3: where you see guys really take their game to the
Speaker 3: next level. And you wonder, you know, with Garrett Wilson
Speaker 3: and all he's accomplished his first three years, if we
Speaker 3: can get some consistent quarterback play, could he be in
Speaker 3: the upper echelon of a top five, top seven receiver?
Speaker 3: And the NFL people are already talking about Sauce Garner
Speaker 3: being a top two three corner. Can he solidify yourself
Speaker 3: because a lot of people or Saint Patrick utan is
Speaker 3: the number one guy, but can he re establish himself
Speaker 3: and become that number one dominant corner in the NFL
Speaker 3: that takes the football away. So when you talk about
Speaker 3: these guys literally just stepping into their prime, that's literally
Speaker 3: what they're doing. And just imagine how much better they
Speaker 3: can get because they're still so young. And now that
Speaker 3: they know the nuances of the game, some of that
Speaker 3: veteran mindshift comes in with the athletic ability that each
Speaker 3: one of these players have.
Speaker 1: How much credit should we give to both men for
Speaker 1: the way they approach this During the offseason there was
Speaker 1: a regime change here. We had a lot of the
Speaker 1: offseason workouts. As you know very well, they're voluntary. Yes,
Speaker 1: there's a mandatory mini camp in the middle of June,
Speaker 1: but predominantly.
Speaker 2: Those first three phases are the first two phases. That's
Speaker 2: all voluntary.
Speaker 1: And those guys were here taking the proper attitude while
Speaker 1: the negotiations were underway.
Speaker 3: Eyah, I'm so glad you bring that up, because time
Speaker 3: and time again, I always hear people say for players
Speaker 3: when new regimes come in, that regime doesn't owe you anything.
Speaker 4: They don't know you.
Speaker 3: Well, the same kid be said for those players talking
Speaker 3: about that new regime, Like that new regime coming in,
Speaker 3: those players don't know them. And these two players are
Speaker 3: already well accomplished. And we talked about Garret Wilson being
Speaker 3: one of five receivers to put up the numbers he's
Speaker 3: put up his first three years. Sauce Garter was a
Speaker 3: two time first team All Pro his first two years.
Speaker 3: So I get what people say, well that new regime
Speaker 3: doesn't know about the player, Well, that player doesn't know
Speaker 3: about the regime as well. So it's a filling out
Speaker 3: process for both parties, right, because one, when you're a
Speaker 3: new regime, you want to see what the makeup of
Speaker 3: the player is. And to your point, neither one of
Speaker 3: these players had to show up in the off season.
Speaker 3: They could have been like, I need my new deal
Speaker 3: or I'm not going to show up. But they wanted
Speaker 3: to get to know Darren Muji. They wanted to get
Speaker 3: to know their head coach, Aaron Glenn, and see what
Speaker 3: they were about. Vice versa the front office in Aaron Glenn.
Speaker 3: They wanted to get to know Garrett Wilson. They wanted
Speaker 3: to get to know Sauce Garner. And after the off
Speaker 3: season they both GM Darren Muji and also Aaron Glenn
Speaker 3: figured a these are two foundational pieces, like, let's take
Speaker 3: care of these homegrown guys, even though we just got there.
Speaker 3: They were drafted by the previous regime, but they're homegrown guys.
Speaker 3: That's always a good look when you take care of
Speaker 3: homegrown guys and don't let them out the building. I
Speaker 3: think again, setting the president of giving them extensions before
Speaker 3: they actually necessarily had to to your point eight, only
Speaker 3: after their third season, I think it it bodes well
Speaker 3: for the trust for the player to the front office,
Speaker 3: but also it's smart for the front office and the
Speaker 3: team because if these players keep playing at the trajectory
Speaker 3: that they're playing, gap those.
Speaker 4: Contacts are only gonna go up.
Speaker 3: So I thought this was great business done on both
Speaker 3: sides by both the player filling out the new regime
Speaker 3: in front office, but also the front office understanding these
Speaker 3: two are foundational pieces.
Speaker 4: Let's lock them in for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 2: Well, football is a business.
Speaker 1: You played with multiple teams, But how much does this
Speaker 1: resonate within a lock room to saying, Okay, things are
Speaker 1: different here right now. The Jets are going about their
Speaker 1: business differently. So in terms of if I go out,
Speaker 1: if I go out and show out, if I become
Speaker 1: a foundational piece myself, they're gonna look to lock me
Speaker 1: up because they're trying to build this thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the business of football.
Speaker 3: You hear they all saying you can't pay everybody, But
Speaker 3: I will tell you this, EA it resonates in the
Speaker 3: locker room, how you treat your star players, especially your
Speaker 3: homegrown star players, Because say you're a guy that you
Speaker 3: know is on the friends of the roster or even
Speaker 3: of free agent that sign is coming to sign with
Speaker 3: the Jets. If you see a team not taking care
Speaker 3: of their homegrown players, especially when the player has done
Speaker 3: it the right way, that rings alarm bells, right. And
Speaker 3: we've seen multiple scenarios across the league with star players
Speaker 3: not being taken care of by their quote unquote team,
Speaker 3: and guys look at that and say, I don't know
Speaker 3: what they're really about over there. Is it truly about winning?
Speaker 3: Why haven't they taken care of this star guy? I
Speaker 3: don't know if I want to be a part of
Speaker 3: that regime. So I think, again, this is a good
Speaker 3: business by the front office and Darren Muji, the GM,
Speaker 3: and also Aaron Glenn to take care of these foundational pieces,
Speaker 3: to let the let the rest of the locker room
Speaker 3: know if you come in here, do your job, play
Speaker 3: at a high level, and do things the right way,
Speaker 3: we're gonna take care of you.
Speaker 4: Now again, there is a business of football. We can't
Speaker 4: take care of everybody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we're gonna take care of our foundational star
Speaker 3: players because we know we got to build it around
Speaker 3: these type of guys.
Speaker 1: Finally, can you tackle each one of their situations. You're
Speaker 1: talking about Wilson, who is going to be reunited here
Speaker 1: with Justin Fields, a guy that he respects so much,
Speaker 1: and those guys have a personal relationship as well. And
Speaker 1: you know, the emphasis for the Jets is gonna be
Speaker 1: running the football. And we talked about it before. What
Speaker 1: are safety is gonna do now? Because you have to
Speaker 1: count for Justin Fields. He's averaged fifty yards per game
Speaker 1: on the ground throughout his career. A couple years back
Speaker 1: with the Chicago Bears, he reached a thousand yards rushing.
Speaker 1: He's an electric arm so he's gonna put pressure on you.
Speaker 1: And then on the other side of the ball, you
Speaker 1: got Gardner, who has a coaching staff led by Aaron Glenn,
Speaker 1: who played fifteen years in the National Football League, was
Speaker 1: a former first round pick who was an elite cornerback himself.
Speaker 1: Chris Harris, who played in the league at the safety position.
Speaker 1: You got Dre Blig helping out as well. Bli was
Speaker 1: outstanding cornerback in his own right. And those guys had
Speaker 1: talked about, Okay, Aaron has said on the offensive side
Speaker 1: of the ball, we got to feed Garrett the football.
Speaker 1: On the defensive side of the ball, these guys are saying,
Speaker 1: we have to put Sauce in position to make plays,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna do this. We have full confidence in
Speaker 1: this guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So we'll start with Garrett Wilson, and we kind
Speaker 3: of alluded to this earlier EA in regards to where
Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson can take the next steps right first and foremost.
Speaker 4: I think there's something to.
Speaker 3: Be said that this might be the quarterback he's had
Speaker 3: the most continuity with his entire career, because they go
Speaker 3: back to their time at Ohio State. I talked about
Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson accolades being one of five receivers to have
Speaker 3: over eighty receptions each of his first three years and
Speaker 3: have over one thousand yards each of his first three years,
Speaker 3: again with seven different quarterbacks. So you would assume, if
Speaker 3: there's some continuity at the quarterback position, that Garrett Wilson
Speaker 3: could tick up to thirteen fourteen, fifteen hundred yards and
Speaker 3: put himself in that rare era of a top five
Speaker 3: receiver in the NFL. I mean, I just go back
Speaker 3: to that catch on Thursday Night football versus Houston Texans,
Speaker 3: when he's able to box out a defensive back, go
Speaker 3: up with one arm, pin the ball and then just
Speaker 3: get enough of this shin down.
Speaker 4: Like again, Garrett Wilson's not the biggest guy, but.
Speaker 3: He's one of the best separators when it comes to
Speaker 3: being able to separate from defensive backs and his ability
Speaker 3: to go up and high point the football like he's
Speaker 3: aggressive with the ball in the air, like if you
Speaker 3: put in his vicinity, you can go up and get it.
Speaker 4: I barely remember when we drafted him, going back.
Speaker 3: And looking at Ohio State tape with Justin Fields, and
Speaker 3: he had a circus catch. Literally I think Fields kind
Speaker 3: of under throw the ball and it seemed like Garrett
Speaker 3: Wilson jump twenty feet in the air to come back
Speaker 3: and get the ball and he was able to get
Speaker 3: one foot down before going out of bounds. That's the
Speaker 3: type of skill set Garrett Wilson has. So you talked
Speaker 3: about with the run game that Tanner Ingstrang coming from
Speaker 3: the Detroit Lions, with this young offensive line plans to
Speaker 3: have with the three headed monsters of the backs that
Speaker 3: we have led by Breist Hall and then the running
Speaker 3: ability of Justin Fields. I think a facet that people
Speaker 3: aren't talking about enough is when things break down because
Speaker 3: sometimes the defense just has your number. Justin Fields his
Speaker 3: strength and also athletic ability not to get out just
Speaker 3: to run the ball, but to scramble, drill and keep
Speaker 3: things alive. And then Garrett Wilson being able to uncover,
Speaker 3: like those could be big plays down the field between
Speaker 3: Justin Fils and Garrett Wilson. That as a defensive coinator
Speaker 3: keeps you up at night because even if you have
Speaker 3: the perfect play call, a guy like Justin Fils and
Speaker 3: his athletic ability can kill the perfect play call with
Speaker 3: his ability to get out of trouble with the strength
Speaker 3: and athletic ability. So to me, the next step for
Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson is obviously making him the focal point of
Speaker 3: the offense, but then also him taking that step to
Speaker 3: being a top five, top seven receiver in the NFL,
Speaker 3: getting over the sauce Garner. You talked about how the
Speaker 3: coaching staff and we didn't mention Steve Wooks, who also
Speaker 3: played in the league, who's been a head coach as
Speaker 3: well defensive coordinator. They talked about getting him in the
Speaker 3: right positions. But they've also challenged Sauce Garner and he's
Speaker 3: told it. He's come out and said it blatantly himself.
Speaker 3: I got to be better at taking the football away.
Speaker 3: And we talked about this earlier EA. I had an
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator tell me once, if we throw at a
Speaker 3: guy and we know the worst thing that's going to
Speaker 3: happen as the PBu, we can live with that. The
Speaker 3: one thing we can't live with is if a guy
Speaker 3: can turn you over. Right, So, and I know that's
Speaker 3: what Sauce Garner has kind of hyped on or talked
Speaker 3: about throughout his first three years, like being that guy
Speaker 3: that when guys do target him because he doesn't get
Speaker 3: targeted targeted as much as the other corner opposite of
Speaker 3: him for good reason.
Speaker 4: He wanted. He's one of the top corners in football.
Speaker 3: But when they do target him and he has a
Speaker 3: chance to take it away, he's got to make teams play.
Speaker 3: We talked about earlier two years ago that Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 3: game that was a potential pick six that could have
Speaker 3: swung the game in favor of the New York Jets.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: So, like game, teams and plays like that for him,
Speaker 3: I think that's where his next step is so he
Speaker 3: could solidify himself as the top corner in football. Because
Speaker 3: even though you don't challenge me often, when you do,
Speaker 3: I'm going to make you pay.
Speaker 4: For doing it.
Speaker 3: So that, to me is where Sauce Gardner needs to
Speaker 3: take his next step. He's already one of the best
Speaker 3: corners in all of football, but to solidify himself as
Speaker 3: the top guy, he's got to make teams paid when
Speaker 3: they do try him on the outside.
Speaker 1: It's been a huge twenty four hours for the New
Speaker 1: York Jets, for Sauce Gardner and for Garrett Wilson, and
Speaker 1: ultimately those guys are going to be here at One
Speaker 1: Jets Drive signing their new deals. A lot to celebrate
Speaker 1: here before training camp begins next week. Let's take a
Speaker 1: break and then we'll take a look at Camp Gleun.
Speaker 1: You're ready for all the action and energy of Jets
Speaker 1: Gain day the season with twenty twenty five Jets season tickets,
Speaker 1: locking your seats to be there for every snap of
Speaker 1: exciting matchups at my Life Stadium at and why Jets
Speaker 1: dot com slash season tickets dudes quickly top storylines heading
Speaker 1: into camp.
Speaker 3: So I went back and forth on this one. To me,
Speaker 3: the safety position is a big storyline because who is
Speaker 3: going to be the incumbent starter next to Andre Cisco.
Speaker 3: Will it be the guy that's held that position down
Speaker 3: for two years and Tony Adams, who was an undrafted
Speaker 3: free agent worked his way up to depth and became
Speaker 3: a pencil then starter for the New York Deets, Or
Speaker 3: is it gonna be Mattlecot Moore, a guy that I've
Speaker 3: heard rave reviews coming out of OTA's in mini camp,
Speaker 3: A guy that actually played free safety at Alabama, kind
Speaker 3: of like Andre Cisco, but I think has a skill
Speaker 3: set that he could play in the box and be
Speaker 3: a strong safety, kind of like Brian Branch for the
Speaker 3: Detroit Lions.
Speaker 4: Let's not forget that's.
Speaker 3: Where our head coach, Aaron Glenn came from, and he
Speaker 3: actually spoke to Brian Branch about Malachi Moore before they
Speaker 3: traded up to get him on Day two in the draft,
Speaker 3: and he got the kudos from Brian Branch. I think
Speaker 3: he could play a similar role that Brian Branch has.
Speaker 3: Maybe not slot, but he did play some slide of
Speaker 3: Alabama as well, but maybe put him in the box
Speaker 3: over some tight ends. Use him to blitz a little
Speaker 3: bit because he's also a physical tackler as well. And
Speaker 3: another guy that a lot of people aren't talking about,
Speaker 3: Isaiah Oliver. I think you mentioned this earlier.
Speaker 4: EA.
Speaker 3: Him and Steve Folks have a pass together from their
Speaker 3: time in San fran and Isaiah Oliver has been a
Speaker 3: viable piece that you can play at safety at the
Speaker 3: stock corner position, So maybe he feeds into that competition
Speaker 3: at the other starting safety as well. That'd be to
Speaker 3: me one of the most intriguing camp battles. Who starts
Speaker 3: opposite of Andre Cisco?
Speaker 2: Who's going to be a third linebacker? Here? No more CJ.
Speaker 1: Mosley, your last two MVP's Quinty Williams, and then Jamie
Speaker 1: Sherwood who replaced Mosley. Great job by Darren mooe aching
Speaker 1: him to a three year deal at the start of
Speaker 1: free agency. But I got my eyes when the Jets
Speaker 1: are actually playing in a four to three and they
Speaker 1: got the three linebackers, Who's going to be the third.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And for the longest we never had to worry
Speaker 3: about that because Jamien Sherwood was the third guy behind
Speaker 3: the captain.
Speaker 4: CJ. Mosey and Quincy Williams.
Speaker 3: So now that Sherwood has solidified himself as the mike linebacker,
Speaker 3: you have Quincy Williams there, who's going to be that
Speaker 3: Jamien Sherwood, And to me, it's probably gonna come down
Speaker 3: to Jamon Davis or Zaire Barnes. Zier was drafted a
Speaker 3: few years ago. It's been a really good special teams player.
Speaker 3: He's gotten a few reps here and there, and I
Speaker 3: think it all depends on as they go through this
Speaker 3: training camp, who does the coaching staff feel more comfortable with,
Speaker 3: Because to me, Zaira is a more athletic guy that
Speaker 3: can help you out coverage. He's a run hit guy,
Speaker 3: where Jamon Davis is more of a first and second
Speaker 3: down guy. If you're going to be in some twelve
Speaker 3: personnel or jumbo package with an extra offensive lineman, Jamon
Speaker 3: Davis may be a better fit as that third linebacker,
Speaker 3: right they might put him on the edge to set
Speaker 3: the edge. I know they did a lot of times
Speaker 3: in those three linebacker sets with Quincy and they had
Speaker 3: Jamien in the middle, I mean Surewood in the middle
Speaker 3: so I could see, you know, Steve Wilkes and also
Speaker 3: Aaron Glynn potentially doing that depending on the personnel we're
Speaker 3: playing against. If it's a twelve personnel just one back,
Speaker 3: two tight end, maybe Zaire Byrne Barnes gets the nod
Speaker 3: in that package. But maybe if it's a jumbo offensive line,
Speaker 3: which we knew the divisional foe, the Buffalo Bills like
Speaker 3: to run often, they bring in that offensive extra offensive lineman.
Speaker 3: Maybe Jamien Jamon Davis is the guy that comes in
Speaker 3: and starts in that scenario.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Davis is a former first round pick, and make
Speaker 1: no mistake about it, Wilts likes running nickel. The Jets
Speaker 1: have a guy who's on a mission in Michael Carter
Speaker 1: the second Let's move up to the defensive line quickly.
Speaker 1: Quinn Williams is going to have new neighbors next to
Speaker 1: him at the defensive tackle position. The Jets have a
Speaker 1: number of bodies. Will McDonald came back in fantastic shape.
Speaker 1: He had double digit sacks last year. Two guys, two
Speaker 1: spots you can touch upon, though, Jermaine Johnson, how do
Speaker 1: you go about setting his timetable? Because he could start
Speaker 1: camp on the pup list. The Jets have Week one
Speaker 1: in mind. They want to make sure, Jermaine's getting after
Speaker 1: his former teammate and Aaron Rodgers. And also you're looking
Speaker 1: at that third spot, aren't you as far as thatdge.
Speaker 3: Position, Yeah, because you got to have three solid edge
Speaker 3: guys going into the season that you can trust, because
Speaker 3: that third edge guy is going to take at least
Speaker 3: forty to forty five percent of the snaps throughout the season. Right,
Speaker 3: And let's go back to year two for Jermaine Johnson,
Speaker 3: and it was Carl Lawson that was banged up in camp,
Speaker 3: which gave Jermaine Johnson an opportunity to be the guy
Speaker 3: that he ended up being in being a pro bowler,
Speaker 3: and nobody could block him throughout that training camp. So
Speaker 3: if Jermaine were to start on pupp it's a really
Speaker 3: good opportunity for a guy like Tyler Baron that they
Speaker 3: took in the draft.
Speaker 4: Michael Clemens is still there as well.
Speaker 3: Right, you talk about McGregor being there, Watts Rashad Weaver, like,
Speaker 3: this is an opportunity for a guy to step up
Speaker 3: and say, coach, I'm a guy that you can trust
Speaker 3: and put in scenarios to potentially start for us, start
Speaker 3: for us. If Jermaine or even will McDonald get banged up, like,
Speaker 3: I'm your guy you can trust in. So to me,
Speaker 3: that's an intriguing camp battle as well to see who's
Speaker 3: going to be the third guy. We don't know if
Speaker 3: Jermaine is going to actually start on the pupp or not.
Speaker 3: If he does, it's a real opportunity for some of
Speaker 3: those guys that I just mentioned to step up and
Speaker 3: stake their claim as the third defensive end and maybe
Speaker 3: even a spot starter for the Justice season.
Speaker 1: Offensively, Garrett Wilson, who got the bag, is one of
Speaker 1: the best wideouts of football. A lot of people have
Speaker 1: been talking about in regards to the Jets, who's going
Speaker 1: to be the number two receiver. But me and you
Speaker 1: have had this conversation multiple times of late, and you're
Speaker 1: actually focused a little bit more on the tight end
Speaker 1: position because you're thinking that Tanner Angstrand, who was a
Speaker 1: passing game coordinator in Detroit where they had the emphasis
Speaker 1: with the run game, where they ran multiple backs at you,
Speaker 1: they could employ a lot of multiple tight nd sets
Speaker 1: here with Jeremy Rucker, Mason Taylor, who was taken in
Speaker 1: the second round on LSU and also a pickup their
Speaker 1: free agency with Stone Smart, a young player who can
Speaker 1: get vertical on you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, without a doubt.
Speaker 3: You got to understand him coming from the Ben Johnson tree,
Speaker 3: and they love twelve personnel, which is one back to
Speaker 3: two tight ends.
Speaker 4: Brock Right was a guy.
Speaker 3: As matter of fact, they tendered him, another team tried
Speaker 3: to offer him a deal, and they gave him an
Speaker 3: extension because they didn't want him to walk out the building.
Speaker 3: And then they drafted Sam Laporter. So they love their
Speaker 3: two tight end sets because not only do they stretch
Speaker 3: you horizontally, but they'll stretch you vertically off the play
Speaker 3: action with that, so I could see Mason Taylor. I
Speaker 3: know people are talking about who's gonna be the number
Speaker 3: two receiver? Could it be Mason Taylor? Mason Taylor could
Speaker 3: be the number two option on the outside as well.
Speaker 3: Could you use Stone Smart and Jeremy Rucker and some
Speaker 3: of those you know, heavy play action passes getting him
Speaker 3: down the scene on a linebacker or a safety. I
Speaker 3: think that is something that we should watch throughout training
Speaker 3: camp because there's something they implored in Detroit as well.
Speaker 3: We're getting back to the number two receiver spot, right,
Speaker 3: is it gonna be Josh renos Alan Lazard is still there.
Speaker 3: You still have gifts in there as well. Tyler Johnson,
Speaker 3: Like which one of these guys is gonna step up
Speaker 3: to Garret Wilson because he's gonna get a boatload of attention,
Speaker 3: which means that other guy's gonna get a lot of
Speaker 3: one on one coverage and they have a real opportunity
Speaker 3: on that backside to make plays. And it's gonna come
Speaker 3: down to who the coaching staff trust, but more importantly,
Speaker 3: who does justin Field's trust, Like, you gotta have that
Speaker 3: continuity between receiver and quarterback. And if I know Garrett
Speaker 3: Wilson is getting bracketed or double team, I know I
Speaker 3: can trust it.
Speaker 4: This guy on the backside, he's gonna win his one
Speaker 4: on one.
Speaker 3: So that'll be intriguing to watch as well as Camp
Speaker 3: you know goes along who kind of separates himself as
Speaker 3: a number two receiver. But going back to what you
Speaker 3: said he I would be on the lookout for more
Speaker 3: twelve personnel, one back, two tight ends, and look out
Speaker 3: for Mason Taylor because he can really stretch teams vertically.
Speaker 3: I think he didn't do a lot at LSU, but
Speaker 3: he has a skill set.
Speaker 4: To do it.
Speaker 3: Every time they gave him the ball, he would break
Speaker 3: a tackle and then try to punish a corner of
Speaker 3: safety trying to get into the end zone.
Speaker 1: I love that the Jets obviously offensive line has been
Speaker 1: an emphasis here every step along the way. The first
Speaker 1: draft pick in the Mujie Aaron Glenn regime number seven overall,
Speaker 1: Ermann Mambu out of Missouri. You have circled the Jets
Speaker 1: joint practices here with the Giants because this line that
Speaker 1: is awfully talented, that has increased its depth big time,
Speaker 1: is gonna face one of the better defensive line in football.
Speaker 2: When you look at what the Giants have.
Speaker 3: Talk about a litmus test right as far as your
Speaker 3: first time practicing against another color. Not only is it
Speaker 3: a crosstown rival, but it's probably a top five defensive
Speaker 3: line in all of football. We talked about Brian Spider
Speaker 3: Spider Burns being on the outside, Dexter Lawrence, who a
Speaker 3: lot of people consider the best d tackle in football.
Speaker 3: Right now, they drafted Darius Alexander Kavon Thibodeaux. Right They
Speaker 3: also took up Dual Carter in.
Speaker 2: The first round.
Speaker 3: People also forget Chauncey Golston. They paid him this offseason,
Speaker 3: so they're going to have a boatload of rushers coming
Speaker 3: at the Jets offensive line. So it'll be a great
Speaker 3: litanus test for the Justice. See where they're at about
Speaker 3: three weeks into training camp as they prepare uh and
Speaker 3: I'm not sure do they play the Giants right after
Speaker 3: that that cross practice they do?
Speaker 2: They got the two practices, so they got yep, that's right.
Speaker 3: So that'll be a good litanus tests for them, not
Speaker 3: only that week there's two practices versus Giants, but then
Speaker 3: also playing them in the game. Because for this offensive young,
Speaker 3: young offensive line, again, nobody's older than twenty seven. I
Speaker 3: Beiek Simpsons is the twenty seven year old. The average
Speaker 3: age is twenty four years old on head offensive line,
Speaker 3: which not a lot of teams can say in the
Speaker 3: NFL like this is a great litanus test. It's one
Speaker 3: of the young, refreshing, hungry offensive lines to face that
Speaker 3: Ferosi's defensive line from the New York Giants.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Passionate and Abdul Carter are gonna think
Speaker 1: they're back at Penn State when they're facing each ow
Speaker 1: they're at practice, and then you might see Burns go
Speaker 1: against Membo and by the way, Mambo's getting great work
Speaker 1: out here at one Jets Drive each day because he's
Speaker 1: facing a guy in McDonald who's got freakish ben and
Speaker 1: he came back at two hundred and fifty and he's
Speaker 1: trying to set the edge better, be more of a
Speaker 1: powerful presence, and the coaches have been really encouraged by him.
Speaker 3: And to your point, him and Ryan Burns have a
Speaker 3: similar skill set with their athletic ability and frame as
Speaker 3: well too. Their freakishly athletic can bend like a hula
Speaker 3: hoop like getting around the edge again, freakish athletic. So
Speaker 3: I think Mimbo getting that work against McDonald will only
Speaker 3: aid him when he gets ready to play a guy
Speaker 3: like Burns Burns in that cross practice and even getting
Speaker 3: ready for week one, when you see a guy like
Speaker 3: Alex Heismith and potentially a TJ.
Speaker 4: Watt as well.
Speaker 1: Let's take a break and we'll come back with our
Speaker 1: extra point game day and everyday score a Drury touchdown
Speaker 1: with Kendra Scott. Shot Fashion and the Drooy Fit for
Speaker 1: another winning season at your local store or Kendrascott dot com.
Speaker 1: Shine Bright Do Good with Kendrick Scott Dude's time for
Speaker 1: our extra point. Can you give us a break out
Speaker 1: candidate for the Jetstern training camp.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were talking about this earlier. Who's gonna step
Speaker 3: up and be the third defensive end. I think it's
Speaker 3: gonna be the draft pick from Miami and Tyler bearon
Speaker 3: the defensive end. To me, he has a little bit
Speaker 3: of Jermaine Johnson in his bag. When I went back
Speaker 3: and watched his tape again after we drafted the Jets
Speaker 3: drafted him, I saw the physicality at Jermaine place with right.
Speaker 3: I saw the elite effort that Jermaine plays with, and
Speaker 3: then also the ability to kick inside. Let's not forget
Speaker 3: a lot of times they were kicking Jermaine inside and
Speaker 3: some of those spinner packages two years ago, and I
Speaker 3: could see them potentially maybe doing that again. Tyler Barron
Speaker 3: has that skill set to potentially rush inside next to
Speaker 3: Quinn Williams on third down as well. Also, you think
Speaker 3: Leonard Taylor would factor into some of that as well.
Speaker 3: But I think Tyler Baron is a guy to keep
Speaker 3: an eye on because somebody needs to separate from the
Speaker 3: pack and be that third guy that the coaching staff
Speaker 3: can trust down in and down out. I believe Tyler
Speaker 3: Baron could be one of those guys.
Speaker 1: I'm going Mason Tayler, the second round pick out of LSU,
Speaker 1: the most productive by you bangle at the tight end position.
Speaker 1: A natural mover, he is great hands, a good feel
Speaker 1: for working those zones. And what I saw on the
Speaker 1: spring dudes is this guy could be an instant red zone.
Speaker 4: Threat, oh without a doubt.
Speaker 3: And the thing is at LSU, that's where they used
Speaker 3: him a lot, Like his target share went significantly higher
Speaker 3: in the red zone. We talked about how I felt
Speaker 3: like they could use him vertically down the seams.
Speaker 4: They didn't do that a lot of LSU, a lot
Speaker 4: of RPOs.
Speaker 3: They would give him some flare outs and then he
Speaker 3: would just make guys miss and take it the distance.
Speaker 3: But in the red zone that's where that trust between
Speaker 3: him and the quarterback really ticked up. And I think
Speaker 3: when you look at Justin Fields in this history with
Speaker 3: Cole Comet in the red zone, I think Mason Taylor
Speaker 3: could be that guy for him, that safety blanket where
Speaker 3: he feels comfortable putting it anywhere in Mason Taylor's vicinity
Speaker 3: and it can come down with the football.
Speaker 1: And final point, I'm really pumped to see Justin Fields
Speaker 1: because again this is the third team and three seasons,
Speaker 1: fourth offensive coordinator in five years. But he just has
Speaker 1: a commiss about him, a poise about him. He's also
Speaker 1: in an electric, dynamic athlete who can get it done
Speaker 1: with his arm and his legs. And I think he
Speaker 1: really is starting to feel at home from the get
Speaker 1: When you're talking about Aaron Glenn saying, hey, listen, we
Speaker 1: are going to surround you with people, we are going
Speaker 1: to put you in position to be succeed, he knows, dudes,
Speaker 1: this is his team right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that's the biggest thing, right you
Speaker 3: talk about the maturation of Justin Fields, just talking to
Speaker 3: people that followed him in Chicago, real quiet guy, not
Speaker 3: a row rock guy.
Speaker 4: Didn't say much, but I think.
Speaker 3: He's even in interview if he's come out and said
Speaker 3: he's been a little bit more vocal here with the
Speaker 3: New York Justin. I think first and foremost that comes
Speaker 3: with comfortability, right one. When the coaching staff in front
Speaker 3: off is say you're the starter bar none, You're the
Speaker 3: guy that we're believing it. We're gonna surround you with
Speaker 3: talent and then two, comfortability with knowing guys on the team.
Speaker 3: We talked about his relationship with Gary Wilson, going back
Speaker 3: to Ohio State.
Speaker 4: Josh Myers was the center at Ohio State.
Speaker 3: Germany Rutger was there, so you got three guys that
Speaker 3: he's very comfortable with going back to his college days.
Speaker 3: Like this is probably the most comfortable he's felt since
Speaker 3: probably maybe year one at Chicago, because even when he
Speaker 3: got to year two and three, people were always talking
Speaker 3: about the Chicago Bear is going to take a new
Speaker 3: quarterback out of the Chicago Bear's going to take a new quarterback. Well,
Speaker 3: this is the first time where he knows it's his
Speaker 3: team and he is the entrance starter. Because even going
Speaker 3: back to Pittsburgh last year, literally when they signed him,
Speaker 3: it was Russell Wilson's team. Russell ended up getting banged
Speaker 3: up and Justin Fields led them to the a four
Speaker 3: and two record, But even then, Russell Wilson was.
Speaker 4: In starting back into the starting lineup.
Speaker 3: So it's like it's hard to be a leader more
Speaker 3: vocally when you kind of don't know where you fit in.
Speaker 3: But I feel like Justin Fields finally feels like this
Speaker 3: is finally my team, Like I can be a little
Speaker 3: bit more vocal. I can, you know, let my hair
Speaker 3: down a little bit, be more of myself. And he
Speaker 3: talked about it like when he gets going, the offense
Speaker 3: gets going. When he has energy out there, the offense
Speaker 3: has energy out there. So I just think that's the
Speaker 3: maturation of Justin Fields going into his fifth year, understanding
Speaker 3: that I finally have a team that has backed me
Speaker 3: and I'm going to be their guy. And I'm comfortable
Speaker 3: with some of the playmakers on my side of the
Speaker 3: ball because I have history with them already. All that
Speaker 3: bodes well for leadership, not only just showing guys what
Speaker 3: to do, but also being vocal about it as well.
Speaker 1: A great job today, But you know what, vacation is overdues.
Speaker 2: We'll see up here soon.
Speaker 4: I can't wait to get up there.
