1 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: Always great to see Judy Batista from NFL Network. It's 2 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: not too far of a commute for you. 3 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 2: Right, not too bad. Good to be here. This is 4 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 2: my second time here already, second time in a week. 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:15,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, how about that? 6 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 2: Very good? 7 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: How was your first visit to One Judge Drive. 8 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 2: The first visit was really good. Frankly, the weather was 9 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 2: a lot better that day, so that always helps. 10 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: I'm not complaining about the heat, Judy. You know you're 11 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: in New York or it's going to be November, it's 12 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: going to be for looking, it's going to be dark. 13 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: You're right school at the at you right, so you know. 14 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 2: He But the first day we were here Saturday, and 15 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 2: I thought the team looked good. At the offense looked 16 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 2: they didn't have pads on at that point. Most importantly, 17 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 2: I mean, the thing we're all watching is Aaron looks 18 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 2: like he's moving normally. Like if you bald Brian Baldinger 19 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 2: was here with me and we were saying, if you 20 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: did not know what happened last year, you would not 21 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 2: know what happened by watching him right now. 22 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: You've talked to him a number of times over the years. 23 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,919 Speaker 1: What was your latest visit like with number eight. Uh. 24 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 2: I thought he sounded upbeat and optimistic. He feels good, 25 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 2: you know. We asked him about, like, do you still 26 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: have things you need to do to prove to yourself 27 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: that you're all the way back, and he said yes. 28 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 2: And actually there was a play on Saturday that he 29 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 2: said was one of those plays where you know the 30 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 2: pressure was coming and so he got flushed out of 31 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 2: the pocket and he had to roll out and then 32 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: he hit Alan Lazard on the sideline for like a 33 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 2: you know, twenty yard game, which that part looks just 34 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 2: looks effortless, of course, and he said, like he got 35 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 2: to the sideline a few plays later and he realized 36 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 2: like he had not thought about in that moment, like 37 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 2: is my like going to be okay, can I still 38 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: do this? It's been a long time since I've done 39 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: this kind of thing. Is going to hold up? He said, 40 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 2: he wasn't thinking that anymore. So that was you know, 41 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: a hurdle that he had gotten over. So I think 42 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 2: there's still like a few little things that like he 43 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 2: needs to I would imagine I didn't ask him this, 44 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: I'm sure being in game action right a game speed 45 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 2: with a you know, defensive end chasing him. He probably 46 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: you know, where he has to put his foot in 47 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 2: the ground and take off. Probably needs to do that 48 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: to be sure he can still do it. Yeah, but 49 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 2: he seems to be I mean, he seems to be 50 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: very comfortable and he feels good. 51 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,399 Speaker 1: You were out here a number of times last year too. 52 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: Do you sense the surrealness is over now for the Jets? 53 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: I do. I think the last year was so like 54 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: I mean, even reporters were out here like what like, 55 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 2: you just haven't seen that level quarterback, that kind of 56 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: superstar here and so you know, when you see somebody 57 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 2: who can perform like that, you're just like WHOA. And 58 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 2: so I think the whole I mean, I think the 59 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: whole building, right, all of the media, we were all 60 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 2: reacting to that. Plus of course the Hard Knocks cameras 61 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 2: we're here, like you know, the circus came to town. 62 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: It's a lot more settled down this year, right, I mean, 63 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 2: first Hard Knocks is not here, so that's part of it. 64 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: But like listen, we all saw what happened last year, 65 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 2: and so I think that's sort of takes you. You know, 66 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: you're a little bit more reserved this year, Like you know, 67 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: how fragile. Everything is. He looks great, the team is good, 68 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 2: the rosters is better than it was last year. But 69 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: things have settled down like you're used to it now, 70 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: and again you're sort of in your head thinking like, well, 71 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 2: if he stays healthy, this could happen to the Jets. 72 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think things are a little quieter this year. 73 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, Robert Salaz said more business like. 74 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: I think, you know, Aaron made the point, like the 75 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 2: offensive line is more veteran now. Obviously the offensive line 76 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 2: had a lot of injuries last year, but a bunch 77 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 2: of veterans, experienced guys like very business like. They know 78 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: how to practice, and that helps the whole team, right, 79 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: if you've got a few older guys who really know 80 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: how to set the tone of like this is how 81 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: we're going to practice, like this is how we're going 82 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: to prepare. I do think it's more business like. And again, 83 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 2: last year there was so much extraneous stuff and people 84 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 2: like emotions were so high. That's all settled down now, right, I. 85 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: Totally agree with that. September eleventh, I actually think we 86 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: shared that elevator down to the first floor after Rogers 87 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: went down. 88 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 2: Yes, Mike Garrafalo and I were in the press box 89 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 2: when it happened, and we immediately said to each other 90 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: like we immediately thought it was the Achilles. And I 91 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 2: just said to him like a start saying like I 92 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 2: can't believe that just happened, Like I can't believe that 93 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: just happened. And so we took off and went down 94 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 2: down to the tunnel, and I mean, it was surreal, right, 95 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 2: And that was just such a I felt so bad. 96 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 2: I mean, obviously you feel bad for him and the 97 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 2: players and the coaches, but like I felt bad for 98 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 2: everybody in the building because people were so excited about 99 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 2: the season and had so many great plans, and I 100 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 2: just felt like, you know, I mean, you knew walking 101 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 2: out that night, there was no question it was a 102 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 2: terrible injury. You could. You know, we saw him on 103 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 2: the cart. He looked devastated, so you knew it was bad. 104 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 2: It was That was just a. 105 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: You used to cover this theme as a Beaver report 106 00:04:54,839 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: in New York Times. Jets fans do they have to 107 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: see it like right now, it's like, Okay, we got 108 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: a good roster, but it's been a long time and 109 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: you just got to go out there and do it 110 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: because you get this sense from a lot of people 111 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: that we can't have nice things. 112 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 2: Well, last year really reinforced that feeling, right, like you 113 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 2: had a nice thing, and then you know it falls 114 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 2: apart four snaps into the season and you're like, oh 115 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 2: my god, maybe is this team really cursed? Like I 116 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 2: don't usually buy into that, but like after that, I 117 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: was like, you know, is there a black cat in 118 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 2: the building, Like what's going on? I do think fans 119 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 2: need to see it. The team looks great on paper, 120 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,119 Speaker 2: but you know, if you went to the other thirty 121 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 2: one teams around the league, like, everybody feels good in 122 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 2: training camp. 123 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: You know, That's what I try to remind people around everybody. 124 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 2: Everybody always feels good in training camp. Nothing bad has 125 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 2: happened yet hopefully you know, yeah, I haven't lost a 126 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,119 Speaker 2: game yet, So most teams feel optimistic in training camp. 127 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 2: And again it's been a long time for this franchise, Like, yes, 128 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: they need to see the need to see the team 129 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 2: win some games and and like see the team function 130 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 2: at a high level to believe that it's possible. 131 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: What do you make of the position Robert Salazon here 132 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: heading into his fourth year, because he's talked about it 133 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: last year was the anticipated leap. Right. Year three, that's 134 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: when we're ready to assent, we're gonna take off. And 135 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: obviously Aaron goes down and then you got to scramble. 136 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: You win seven games. But year four, now you gotta win. 137 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta win. And I don't I don't mean 138 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 2: that like you got to win the super Bowl, but 139 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 2: I mean you've you've got to win. You've got to 140 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,239 Speaker 2: make the playoffs, you know, I mean, especially look everything 141 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 2: hinges on. Is Aaron healthy throughout the season, and does 142 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 2: he play all the games or you know, or most 143 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 2: of the games if he is healthy? This is this 144 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 2: is a playoff roster. It's a playoff team. And so 145 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: you know, you got to win the games. You've got 146 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 2: to You've got to do it right. Like all of 147 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 2: the planning, you know when they got here, right, they 148 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 2: had to do they had to execute it. A real 149 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 2: roster overhaul, and that has happened, and now you have 150 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 2: a really talented roster. It's a better roster than last 151 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 2: year at this time. And you obviously have the quarterback 152 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 2: who you've got for two years, right, you got this 153 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 2: year and next year it looks like so, I mean, 154 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: this is it. This is the window is here. You've 155 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 2: got to jump through the window. 156 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: The problem I have when I look at the AFC 157 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: East is there's a lot of people who know football 158 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: very well and have traveled to various camps, and they 159 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: look at these rosters and say, yeah, the Bills might 160 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: not have the roster the Jets do, but they do 161 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: have Josh Allen, right, so, and they have owned the 162 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: division in recent times. And Miami's made the playoffs first 163 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: two years under McDaniel, and that offense still should be 164 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: quite explosive questions defensively, but changed up personnel and we've 165 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: seen in the past that they've gotten on people early 166 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: in the season. My thing is, when I look at 167 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: the division, I want to get your thoughts. Not all 168 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: these teams are gonna win ten eleven games. 169 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 2: Of course not no, of course not. First of all. 170 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 2: I mean again, you could go to the other thirty 171 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 2: one teams in the league. It's fragile. The seasons are fragile, right, 172 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 2: and we see this every year. There are injuries that 173 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 2: derail everything. The Dolphins looked great, the offense was humming, 174 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 2: and then Tyreek Hill gets hurt, like, oh okay, well 175 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 2: that's a problem. You know we've seen over the years 176 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 2: in Baltimore. Didn't happen last year, but in previous years, 177 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 2: like if Lamar gets hurt, I mean that's it. Joe 178 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 2: Burrow got hurt in Cincinnati, and I mean that's a 179 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 2: super Bowl team and they don't make the playoffs, right, Like, 180 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: so we saw that throughout the league last year, especially 181 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 2: with the quarterbacks. There were so many backup quarterbacks last year. 182 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: It's fragile, right, Like everything has to fall into place 183 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 2: and to make a real run, to make a deep 184 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 2: playoff run, I mean, things really have to fall into place. 185 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 2: Like you've got to be mostly healthy, You've to have 186 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 2: your key players healthy, you got to get a few 187 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 2: breaks along the way. You know, you've got to manage 188 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 2: your schedule well so it you know, there's a lot 189 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 2: that goes into having a really successful season. And you're right, 190 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 2: like everybody in the AFC East is not going to 191 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 2: be eleven and six obviously, you know, and when you 192 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 2: play teams is important, Like it's just you know, it's 193 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 2: really hard to predict good but the roster is really good. 194 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: Good transition, but schedule, what do you make the Jets 195 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: be in primetime? Players? They have a schedule that's much 196 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: like the Kansas City Chiefs. Side. Bet, I think over 197 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: the first eleven weeks of this season, the Jets will 198 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: not have the same amount of preparation time, right, and 199 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: seven seven standalone games as well. 200 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 2: Right, not a surprise as long as Aaron Rodgers is 201 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 2: on your I mean, right, right, I mean they want that, 202 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: but the schedule does look I mean, obviously, going to 203 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 2: San Francisco for the opening month night is tough. I mean, 204 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 2: it's a tough place to play. They're obviously a very 205 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 2: good team. It's tough year already. Then you go into 206 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 2: Week two already on a short week because you got 207 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 2: a long flight home. Having said that, the schedule after 208 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 2: that does, on paper ease up a little bit. On paper, 209 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 2: you should be able to accumulate some wins there. Again, 210 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 2: you know this is all based on last year, which 211 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 2: was we know year to year in the NFL it 212 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 2: doesn't always hold up. But I do think I think 213 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 2: you have to coaches, the staff has to know how 214 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 2: to manage those weird weeks. Like the Kansas City Chiefs, 215 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 2: for instance, play a schedule. I believe they play every 216 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 2: day of the week except Tuesday because they're playing like 217 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 2: the Black Friday game, they're playing on Christmas, like literally 218 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 2: playing every day of the week. So they're not going 219 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 2: to have any routine. Same thing. You've got to be 220 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 2: able to manage that. Coaches have to know how to 221 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 2: manage it. Players have to know how to manage their bodies, 222 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 2: like the whole universe of the team has to know 223 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 2: how to get players recovered. 224 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: That's it's here, just what he can bring from a 225 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: physical standpoint. 226 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 2: But mentally, yeah, Shaking plays weird. Well, I mean he's 227 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 2: how many primetime games. I mean we could look this up. 228 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 2: I mean, how many primetime games has Aaron Rodgers played in? 229 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 2: Or standalone games? A lot? So he knows how to 230 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 2: manage it, and it's important to have those guys. 231 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: Here is the biggest storyline in the National Football League 232 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 1: entering the twenty twenty four twenty twenty five season. The 233 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: Kansasity Chiefs going for a three peat and if it is, 234 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: who in the AFC is ready to be a primary 235 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: challenger to the Chiefs. 236 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 2: I do think that's the primary storyline that's never happened 237 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 2: in the NFL before. Who would be the primary challenger? 238 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: Well, or you can give me a couple of teams. 239 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I look, the only team that has regularly given 240 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 2: them some issues is the Bengals. Burrow has given them 241 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 2: some trouble. So you would assume again, if Burrow is 242 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 2: healthy this year, that they could give them some trouble 243 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 2: somewhere along the way, especially because I mean the Bengals 244 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 2: are operating in their own window. They've got Jamar Chase 245 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 2: and T Higgins together with Burrow right now, so they're gonna, 246 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 2: you know, they're making a push. So I would say Cincinnati, certainly, Baltimore. 247 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 2: You know, Baltimore in the AFC Championship game should have 248 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 2: you know, they abandoned the run way too quickly. They 249 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 2: should not have. Now they've got Derrick Henry, so they're 250 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 2: probably not gonna abandon the run quite as quickly. But 251 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 2: I certainly think Baltimore a very good team. AFC North 252 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 2: is crazy. I mean, look at the AFC North is 253 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 2: going to beat each other up like that's the fear 254 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 2: of the AFC North if you're one of those teams. 255 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 2: Because the Steelers, the Steelers did not have good quarterback 256 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 2: play last year and they still made the play like 257 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 2: you know, now they're going to have presumably Russell Wilson 258 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 2: has their quarterback, really good defense, and the Cleveland Browns again, 259 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 2: you don't know if if Deshaun Watson can stay healthy. 260 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 2: You know, they looked good last year with backup quarterbacks, 261 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 2: So if Deshaun is healthy and can they make a run. 262 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 2: So you know what teams can can challenge the Chiefs. 263 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 2: You know, I think there's a handful, but somebody's got 264 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 2: to do it before. 265 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: I'd like to see against. 266 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 2: Right and again. Until we see the Jets do it, 267 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 2: you don't know, but like you know, if the Jets 268 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 2: perform the way we think they should perform on paper again, 269 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 2: then he should challenge for those playoff games. 270 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: You're going to talk to Quinn Williams and C. J. 271 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: Moseley later today, Eddrian those interviews. What kind of topics 272 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: are you thinking. 273 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 2: Of such pot Well, I would like to know how 274 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 2: much they are looking forward to playing with leads. When 275 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 2: we talked to Aaron on Saturday, he said, like, you know, 276 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 2: he wants to be able to give that defense like 277 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 2: a two score lead. And when he said it, you know, 278 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 2: he's talking and I'm thinking to myself, like last time 279 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 2: the defense had a two score lead, like Wow, a 280 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 2: two score lead. How much will those guys enjoy playing 281 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 2: with a lead, not that they're holding on, you know, 282 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 2: and holding the whole team trying to keep them in 283 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 2: a game, but playing from ahead changes everything for a defense. 284 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 2: So I'm talking about that, and I think probably just 285 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: talking about, like, you know, the vibe around the team 286 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 2: and how it feels this year, stuff like that. 287 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: Why does Mosley I don't think in NFL coaching offices 288 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: and scouting offices he flies under the radar. But you know, 289 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: again I'm close to it. But just watching him every 290 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: day and the way he he just goes about his 291 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: business and how professional he is, right, b Yeah, it 292 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: just flies under a radar constantly, doesn't he a little bit? 293 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 2: He's not flashy, right, Like, he's not a flame for 294 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 2: when he does interviews, like you know, he's he is 295 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 2: exactly what a team like this needs, which is like 296 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 2: like we were talking about a veteran who knows how 297 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 2: to prepare, who knows how to practice, who knows how 298 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 2: to conduct himself, Like that's exactly what you want for 299 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 2: this team. And I think, but you know, that's not fiery, 300 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 2: and it's not crazy and stuff like that. So it 301 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 2: does fly under the radar. We you know, we in 302 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 2: the media of like crazy personalities or that kind of stuff, 303 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 2: and he's not that. But in football terms, if you're 304 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 2: a fan, I mean, this is exactly the kind of 305 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 2: guy you want on this team. 306 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: Do you like the balance on the roster, because we're 307 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: just talking about Moseley, But then you go back at 308 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: the safety position, Chuck Clark, he's another grizzly, fat Trian. 309 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: You flip it on the other side of the ball. 310 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: You mentioned offensive line before. I know, Aaron's awfully excited 311 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: about that, Like Tyron Smith comes, these are guys who bent. 312 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 2: He talked about that, right, he talked about that when 313 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 2: we talked to him about He thinks it's a really 314 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 2: good mix on the offensive line now because you've got 315 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 2: veteran guys who have been through it again know how 316 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 2: to prepare with the benefit of all of those guys 317 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 2: who were forced into action last year now have experienced 318 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 2: so you actually have some depth there, which is important 319 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 2: because we saw the offensive line got beaten up last year. 320 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 2: I mean that happens, so that that should actually benefit them. 321 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: But yeah, having those guys who have been in it, 322 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 2: who know how to go week to week like that's 323 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 2: really important for a team that has aspirations of, you know, 324 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 2: playing well into January. So I think the offense, I mean, 325 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 2: obviously the offensive line is better, I'm on paper, and again, 326 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 2: everybody just has to stay healthy, which is always the 327 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 2: concern when you have a few older players. You've got 328 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 2: to stay healthy. But you know, they are certainly better 329 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 2: and I think I think the Jets are in a 330 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 2: better position to protect Aaron this year. 331 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: I know this team hasn't made the playoffs, but as 332 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: far as roster construction is concerned, and what Joe Douglas 333 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: had to do this offseason, you got to give them 334 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: a lot of credit. Right listen, point emphasis, We need 335 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: something with the offensive line. He's got three new starters now, 336 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: he brings Wriam Moses back. 337 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 2: He built the offensive line. Got another weapon to you know, 338 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 2: whenever Mike willim whenever Mike Williams comes back. He needed that. 339 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 2: Malachi Corley. I'm really excited to watch the Yak King. 340 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,719 Speaker 2: I love that NICKNAMEK. So you know they got some 341 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 2: more weapons. This is not something that Joe Douglas did, 342 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 2: but Breeze Hall being healthy right out of the gate 343 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 2: is huge which we don't talk enough about huge that 344 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,479 Speaker 2: he'll be there, you know, when Hassan Reddick shows up 345 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 2: whenever they come to some when they figure that out, 346 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 2: and he comes in like he's a really good player. 347 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,719 Speaker 2: So I yes, I think the roster was improved from 348 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 2: last year, and he he addressed the obvious needs. I 349 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 2: mean the offensive line clearly had to be changed, had 350 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 2: to be upgraded, and he did. 351 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: How about the third year guys, Garrett Wilson. You mentioned 352 00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: Brice Hall, Jemaine Johnson, Sauce Gardner, and there are few others. 353 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 2: I would think we're going to see Garrett Wilson before 354 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 2: you even go any further. Garrett Wilson's going to take 355 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 2: a jump again, assuming Aaron is healthy. I mean, Aaron 356 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 2: talks about Garrett Wilson potentially being the best receiver in 357 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 2: the league. He talks about him in the same breath 358 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 2: as he talks about DeVante Adams, which is the highest 359 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 2: possible praise from Aaron. So you know, he is talking 360 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 2: about just like the little things that Garrett has to 361 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 2: do to make the jump right, learning to practice at 362 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 2: a certain level, the sort of attention to detail, the 363 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 2: consistency of practicing Garrett Wilson had. You know, I don't 364 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 2: think it's hyperbole to say he had like one of 365 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 2: the worst quarterback situations in the league, and he still 366 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 2: had a thousand yards and he was the only weapon 367 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 2: on the field. So every defense pardoned me microphone. Every 368 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 2: defense knew you had to get this guy out of it. 369 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 2: And he's still had a thousand yards, right, So he's 370 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 2: a star. Sauce is obviously a star, right, and and 371 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 2: Prie's I think it's and again I think we forget 372 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 2: how good Breese Hall is because he started LAXT year, 373 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 2: you know, sort of still coming off the injury and 374 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 2: so you know, had to ramp up. I mean he's 375 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 2: healthy now, he is a weapon. 376 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, and he took good jump. Right. 377 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 2: I'm hopeful this year. I really I am not to 378 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 2: get too far ahead of it, but like we. 379 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: Got to go back to the twenty twenty three podcasts. 380 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:24,479 Speaker 1: I think, do you do hopeful less a hopeful? So 381 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: what do you you live? You make your living in 382 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: the media, what do you make of these social clips 383 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: and these guys are asked about it now where Aaron's 384 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: having these animated conversations with Garrett. 385 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 2: So yeah, so, first of all. I think the reason 386 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 2: they go viral and everybody latches onto it is because, 387 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 2: let's face it, most fans do not go to practice 388 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 2: every day, do not see teams practice every day. For reporters, 389 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 2: you're like, yeah, whatever, I mean. It happens all the 390 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 2: time in professional sports, every sport, there are practices where 391 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 2: teammates are barking at each other. That's the norm. First 392 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 2: of all, it is part of why you want Aaron 393 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 2: Rodgers here because what he is doing is holding people 394 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 2: to account, and he is telling people I need you 395 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 2: to do this, I want you to do this, and 396 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson barking back at him. I have no problem 397 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 2: with that. Garrett Wilson is incredibly passionate, cares bad. He 398 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 2: wants to win so badly. He wants to win so 399 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 2: badly that last year when we would interview him after 400 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 2: the games, when the if the offense did not have 401 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 2: good he literally looked like he was going to start crying. 402 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 2: He was so frustrated. That's how much he cares. So 403 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 2: those two I'm fine with that. They're basically the same person. 404 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: Right. 405 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 2: You're seeing the flip side of Garrett Wilson's frustration is 406 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 2: his passion for it, so. 407 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 1: Both sides. 408 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 2: Absolutely No, I am certain Aaron Rodgers has no problem 409 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: with Garrett coming back at him. Absolutely not. You want that. 410 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: And by the way, these guys did not play in 411 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: the regular Crest together, so they got to work. 412 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 2: They got a lot of things to work out. There's 413 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 2: no question there's there's clearly still working things up. And again, 414 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 2: part of why you want Aaron Rodgers on your team 415 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 2: is to do exactly what you saw him doing, which 416 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 2: is like, right, he was jesting like this. He clearly 417 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 2: wanted him to run around a certain way. Go here, 418 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 2: cut here. That's exactly what you want your starting quarterback 419 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 2: to do, is telling the receiver do this. You saw 420 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 2: Tom Brady do that all the time. No, da Kayton 421 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 2: Manning did it all the time. And again, I think 422 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 2: it's just you know, fans don't see that all the 423 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 2: time because they're not watching practice all the time. Reporters 424 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 2: see it all the time, and you're like, yeah, okay, 425 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 2: that's exactly what they should be doing. 426 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: I like it because you like it. It speaks to 427 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: how engaged Rogers is, like absolutely, talk about Okay, this 428 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: guy he's all in. He's in. 429 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 2: Oh no, he's totally invested in this, there's no question, 430 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 2: and that shows you, like, that's what he does. If 431 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 2: you watch him during practice and don't watch anything else. 432 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 2: He'll take his reps. First of all, he takes every 433 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 2: rep possible, right, He's practicing like a madman, does not 434 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 2: have a veteran playoff, takes every rep. And then when 435 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 2: he's not taken, when the second team is in, he 436 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 2: is talking to his teammates, talking and telling them again 437 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 2: what he wants done, what he's seeing, talking to the coaches, 438 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 2: and not just Salah talking to the position coaches and 439 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 2: not just the offensive coaches, talking to the defensive coaches 440 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 2: to tell them what he sees. He's incredibly engaged. And 441 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 2: again this is obviously you want Aaron Rodgers for the 442 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 2: skill on the field, but you also want Aaron Rodgers. 443 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 2: It reminds me of when Tom Brady went to Tampa 444 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 2: and everything you heard from Bruce Arians and Jason light 445 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 2: their GM was he raised the game not just in 446 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 2: terms of his own performance, but he raised the game 447 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 2: because of how demanding he was and like they would 448 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 2: practice and if a rep went wrong in practice, Brady 449 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 2: would be furious and demand that they do it again. 450 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 2: That's what Aaron Rodgers is doing. That's what you're seeing. 451 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 2: That's what you want. 452 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, Garrett is something else because he's much like Aaron 453 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: in the sense they're very reflective when they talk, they 454 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 1: think about our answers. Yeah yeah, and they're also almost 455 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: soft spoken to a certain extent. But when they get 456 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 1: on the field. 457 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 2: They're nuts. 458 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're right. Yeah, they're ready to slit your throat 459 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: and then they're going to tell you about it. But 460 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: that's what you need in this league, and that's what 461 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: you need on this team. Uh. And then at Aaron 462 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: after plays, to your point, the two guys I see 463 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: him hanging out with most after plays, and sometimes Aaron's 464 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: seeking them out, but a lot of times the guys 465 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 1: are going to him. It's Garrett and Brief and then 466 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: the third guy you can add Joe Tippman and center, 467 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: which all makes And if you're here and you're observing 468 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: that and you're a Jet fan, you're like, that's what 469 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: I want. 470 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 2: That's exactly what you want. I I know the video, 471 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 2: I mean, it's enticing and it's sort of amusing to watch, 472 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 2: but like, I have absolutely no problem with that. And frankly, 473 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 2: if they weren't talking to each other, you'd be much 474 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 2: more worried about that. 475 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: You're going on live in a couple of minutes, we're 476 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: gonna have to let you go. What's your summer looking 477 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: like coming up? 478 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 2: I am after this Tomorrow I leave for Pittsburgh, Latrobe, PA. 479 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 2: And then I'm doing a little tour there Latrobe. Then 480 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 2: I go to the Commander's the Ravens, and then I 481 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 2: will be in New England for their first preseason game. 482 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 2: So get a look at the debut of girod Mayo 483 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 2: and maybe Drake may I'm sure he'll play somewhat in 484 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 2: that game. 485 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 1: So we'll see any Will we see you at any 486 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: Jets joint practices? 487 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 2: I don't know those are I like joint practices. I 488 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 2: think you see a lot. You'll probably be here for 489 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 2: the Giants, I bet you maybe. I think you see 490 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 2: so much more in joint practices now than you do 491 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 2: in preseason games that I mean, you really see what 492 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 2: the teams are working on. Because it's a controlled environment, 493 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 2: Coaches feel more comfortable and players feel more comfortable doing stuff. 494 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 2: So those are you really see. 495 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: Great stuff there? Gracy News always you have a nice 496 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 1: red shirt on today and you look good at it. 497 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: But Baldy had the NFL Network green. 498 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 2: So they gave us a green shirt this year, and 499 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 2: which I always wondered why we didn't have a green 500 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 2: shirt because we have all the other primary colors, and 501 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 2: so they sent the green shirt. And then I realized 502 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 2: that two of my first three training camps on camera 503 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 2: were Jets and Eagles, and I'm like, can I wear 504 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 2: a green shirt to either of those teams? And I 505 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 2: decided no, And then Baldy showed up in the green shirt, 506 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 2: and I was like, all right, I guess we could have. 507 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 2: But anyway, so I have to court. I have to 508 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 2: plan these things. 509 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: You don't want to look like a fan. 510 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 2: Yeah you don't, you know, Sorry, but no, but it's 511 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,239 Speaker 2: a really nice green shirt. I told the person who 512 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 2: sent it to us, like, looks really good on camera. 513 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: Scene likewise, so I wanted to ask you and how 514 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,199 Speaker 1: is your visit been so far? And how did you 515 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: want to attack today? 516 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 3: Okay, so this is my fourth stop on my training 517 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 3: camp tour, but I was here on a very truncated 518 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 3: version of visiting camps last year, and it feels very 519 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 3: I have to say, it feels very different and it's 520 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 3: not a bad thing or a good thing or anything. 521 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 3: Last year, I felt there's a lot of newness in 522 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 3: the building. I felt like Aaron Rodgers was a little tighter, 523 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 3: and now I feel like he is the perfect balance 524 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,199 Speaker 3: of dial down and dialed in. In speaking with him today, 525 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 3: I think he does set the tone for the energy 526 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 3: in the entire building. I believe that I saw that 527 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 3: last year. There's a little bit of newness, freshness, tiptoeing, 528 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 3: feeling things out. And even though there was the injury, 529 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 3: and even though the pressure is on, make no mistake, 530 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 3: that's fans. 531 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: How about that. 532 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 3: I feel as if I've never seen a more dial 533 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 3: down and dialed in Aaron Rodgers and whatever it took 534 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 3: to make that happen, keep doing to they are. 535 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: You have a great way of connecting with people. What 536 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 1: is it like interviewing Aaron? 537 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 3: You're always on your toes with Aaron because he you know, 538 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 3: Aaron today told I told him a quote that he 539 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 3: said and he said, he didn't say it. I said, 540 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,479 Speaker 3: you said, Aaron that you would play for another two 541 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 3: you got two more years left in U and he said, 542 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 3: I didn't say that. And at that point, what do 543 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 3: you do he's the goat, you know, argue with him, 544 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 3: sit there, so's there's never a dull moment. I think 545 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 3: he note I'm a little more stressed around him. I 546 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 3: think he felt that today. I really, I really respect him, 547 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 3: and I want people to celebrate the greatness we have 548 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 3: while we have it, and instead of the fussy headlines, 549 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 3: I'd like people to see maybe the more human levity 550 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 3: that he does bring to this sport. And I can 551 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 3: just tell you that every person, even if it's somebody 552 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 3: went against him, somebody that he's had battles with, people 553 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 3: will go run through a wall for him. Every teammate 554 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 3: will do that. They will go and you need that 555 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,719 Speaker 3: at the quarterback spot. I feel like it doesn't get 556 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 3: talked enough. So I feel a bit of pressure knowing 557 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 3: that in bringing that forward and drawing it out. But 558 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 3: interviewing him is always She's delightful. He makes me wait 559 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 3: two hours every time just to let me sweat it 560 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 3: out and Sharon Rodgers experience. 561 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: We were just talking before we started that this is 562 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,959 Speaker 1: your fourth stop on your training camp tour that is 563 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: going to include sixteen or seventeen stops. 564 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 3: Yes, and I believe all of your division rivals. Right, Yeah, 565 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 3: we're hitting the entire age. 566 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: You're going to Buffalo next? 567 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,479 Speaker 3: Who would say the word buffalo in this building? Are 568 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 3: you trying to get me killed? 569 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: I grew up in Once, New York. 570 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 3: I thought maybe Hasan Reddik would come tackle me off 571 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:35,640 Speaker 3: a side if I said the word buffalo. 572 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: Hey, if a Sona Reddick was here, that's good news. 573 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 3: Maybe say buffalo three times? Like what's it called? Like 574 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 3: beetle juice? Hasan Reddick, Casan Reddick, Casan Reddick. We got 575 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 3: to get him here, Eric, What do you know? 576 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: Not too much, but I think he'll be here at 577 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: some point, right, all right, So you talked to Aaron, 578 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: but you also talked to Garrett Wilson. I did, what 579 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: are your thoughts on Garrett? 580 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 3: He strikes me as an a third year player. He 581 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 3: strikes me as someone who's more tenured. But then I 582 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 3: think about it, and he's done a lot over two years, 583 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 3: with a lot of adversity and a lot of quarterbacks 584 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 3: through a revolving door, seven of them in fact, in 585 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 3: two seasons. So and he's managed to hit that one 586 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 3: K mark. I think he's going to have an all 587 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 3: Pro esque year. I wouldn't put that behind him. He 588 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 3: seems very focused. I think the way he likes to 589 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 3: be motivated, Aaron is pushing him towards that, and Aaron 590 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 3: wants him to want to be the best. And that's 591 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 3: sort of the vibe I got out of him today 592 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 3: that they're very much on the same plage, point blank. 593 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: They've had a bunch of animated conversations during King Yeah. Right, 594 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: can you speak to that because social media puts things 595 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: in one context. But like you're saying, Aaron and Garrett 596 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: really communicate well together, and they also demand certain things. 597 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 3: From each other. I think both. I think passion is 598 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 3: a great thing. Now's the time to do it. We're 599 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 3: here in camp. They're trying to speak the same language, 600 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 3: get on the same page. And I liked hearing Garrett 601 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 3: Wilson today tell me we actually he said, it's crazy. 602 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 3: He goes, it's actually kind of weird how alike we 603 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 3: are and how we share a brain on certain things. 604 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 3: And I think he meant that in a human way 605 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 3: off the field and on the field when they're looking 606 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 3: at plays, there's nothing to it. You want that, you 607 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 3: want that. I want to see a camp fight, I said, 608 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 3: I want to see I want to see these guys 609 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 3: good after we're sauce. Why Sauce being so quiet? That's 610 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 3: the real story around here. I need him to start 611 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 3: chirping at camp and picking off ar. They obviously had 612 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 3: a great day to day red zone day. 613 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: So you come out and Aaron Rodgers throws six touchdown 614 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: passes in the red zone? 615 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 3: Was it six? I only saw two six. 616 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: Three to Garrett Wilson, two Debris Hall one rookie. 617 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers is always trying to impress me. That's the story. 618 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, so we have to have you out more. 619 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 3: I think Eric, I'm the happiest k Adams in New 620 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 3: York for sure. 621 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: Speaking of that New York Aaron Rodgers. Everybody got robbed 622 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers in New York last year. It goes 623 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: down after forced naps. I was there the storyline this year. 624 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: What do you think about Okay Rogers coming back from 625 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: the Achilles forty years old, going to turn forty one 626 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: in December, trying to take a team to the postseason 627 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: who has not been there since twenty ten, and a 628 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: lot of doubters on outside. 629 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 2: What is your question? 630 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 3: Do I think that they will go? 631 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: No? I'll ask you that later, but just the storyline 632 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: as far as itself. 633 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 3: That is the storyline. If this is a window, very 634 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 3: small one, he's got to do it. I'd like to 635 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 3: see this team go all in.

The headline of twenty twenty four 647 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 3: is should we even have a season? Or should we 648 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 3: give the Lombardi Trophy to Patrick Mahomes? 649 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: Now Patrick Mahomes three peat? 650 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the story of the season.

Who's going to keep him out? 659 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: Jeffs fans thinks they have a team that might have 660 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: the potential to keep him up. 661 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 3: I would ask you, because now you're in this post 662 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 3: hype era of y'all got so riled up last year 663 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 3: and we drank the sauce and we got excited and 664 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 3: then there was a letdown, how do you, as a 665 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 3: fan base support this team. Not you specifically directly love error, 666 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 3: but you know, rally around this squad and don't have 667 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 3: these thoughts in your head that it's going to go bad. 668 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 3: Things turn, you know, thoughts turn into things everybody. That's 669 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 3: my advice. 670 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: My counter on that would be, this. 671 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 3: Is so Jets I can't. I'm I'm over here the 672 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 3: outside er hyping up the team, and Eric's counterpointing me 673 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 3: on this Jets. 674 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 2: Squad, No, I love it. 675 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: My counter on that is if Mahomes went down, yeah, 676 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: or Lamar Jackson went down, or Josh Allen you're going 677 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: to Buffalo next. We're not supposed to talk about that, 678 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: but if he goes down, how many wins are the 679 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: Bills going to have. If Mahomes doesn't play a season, 680 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: it's blame Gabbert. How many wins do the Chiefs have? 681 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: So my thought processes, Yes, were fans let down last year, 682 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: no doubt. But if this dude who you just talked 683 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: to on a mission play seventeen games, this team should 684 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: be in the postseason. 685 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 3: If this dude on the mission in the postseason, what 686 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 3: are we what are the what are we talking about 687 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 3: next season? If this dude plays seventeen games and knows 688 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 3: his limits and what I mean by that? Oh boy, 689 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 3: old man needs to reel himself in sometimes, you know, 690 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 3: give it to Brest Hall. Oh yeah, let that Oline 691 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,479 Speaker 3: Jewis think he knows. I will say this after today. 692 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,359 Speaker 3: He knows he is forty. That's a good thing. 693 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 2: Okay. 694 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 3: Can we do an hour on this? 695 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 2: When you get to be when you but when you. 696 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 3: As an athlete, as whatever, you push your limits. It's 697 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 3: when all these dudes tear their achilles when they're playing 698 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 3: basketball or trying to be young and cool. And it 699 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,839 Speaker 3: is he knows his he knows he is forty. He's 700 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 3: doing crazy stuff to keep himself in shape. He's very aware. 701 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 3: But I don't think he's gonna push it. I think 702 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 3: he knows he wants a balanced team, he wants a 703 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 3: great defense to carry him. He's been there and tasted 704 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 3: it before. But I think I think it's a waste 705 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 3: of time to say, if they have Aaron Rodgers for 706 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 3: seventeen games, do they make it to the postseason. I'd 707 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,800 Speaker 3: frankly be disappointed if they just made it to the postseason, 708 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 3: wouldn't you? 709 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: Yes, no doubt. 710 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 3: Now you got me fired up. 711 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 1: I'm right there with you. Okay, a FC East, Hmmm, 712 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: what do you make of the landscape there? As far 713 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: as the Jets competition, one team's owned a division of late, 714 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 1: lost a bunch of pieces. 715 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 3: They had a red wedding of Game of Thrones proportions. 716 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: Miami's got a lot of changes on the defensive side 717 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: of the ball, very good offensive attack, and the team 718 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 1: that dominated the division for twenty plus years. They're going 719 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 1: under major renovation. 720 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 3: Patriots will be better than everybody thinks. I started my 721 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 3: tour there a bit of a home for me. I 722 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,760 Speaker 3: used to work up there. It is, make no mistake, 723 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,240 Speaker 3: the Patriot Way alive and well there is no new 724 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 3: player coach new Gi Meo is getting after them. Okay, 725 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 3: so they're going to be better because of their defense, right, 726 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 3: They're going to be better than people think. Christian Gonzales 727 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 3: is healthy, you're gonna have you're gonna have a tough 728 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 3: time with them. So I think I think they're they're 729 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 3: over under on them is like four and a half 730 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 3: or something crazy like that. Oh bang, the over bang, 731 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 3: the over on that. You know, I think you can't 732 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,240 Speaker 3: say they'll be better than Buffalo. But if Aaron's healthy 733 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 3: the whole time, I'm happy to say they're going to 734 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,839 Speaker 3: put it to the Bills because the Bills have had 735 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 3: so many changes offensively, defensively, the whole thing. And I 736 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 3: think the Jets give the Chiefs a better shot to 737 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,479 Speaker 3: take them out than the Bills do, as we've seen 738 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 3: in history. So it's hard to not root for the 739 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 3: Jets to go and try to get that done. 740 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: Do you like it from the perspective if you are 741 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: a fan of the Jets, which is most people are 742 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,360 Speaker 1: either listening or watching this right now, that it does 743 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: seem different, a little bit quieter here this year, that 744 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,720 Speaker 1: there's no hard knocks. Of course, they've reported to camp early. 745 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 1: There was the newness of Rogers's coming over from green 746 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: Bay after this illustrious, illustrious run. But now it's kind 747 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: of like, Okay, it's old hat, We've done that before. 748 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 1: Now we got to go out and take care of 749 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: what Case says we should take care of. We've got 750 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,399 Speaker 1: to go compete for that championship. Now. 751 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 3: I've known Aaron a long time, and Aaron has always 752 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,320 Speaker 3: said that he's thought about his end of his career, 753 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 3: and that he has thought about the fairy tale and 754 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 3: what that could look like and the mortality out of 755 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 3: it all. Even in changing teams from Green Bay, what 756 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:27,360 Speaker 3: does that mean following the all of that Peyton storybook. 757 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 3: He looks at that Tom, He looks at that so 758 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,439 Speaker 3: I think he can make that happen here. I think 759 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,720 Speaker 3: last year sets him up for this year. I believe 760 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 3: that I do. I think it's a positive thing for 761 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 3: every reason you're saying. Now there's less distractions. It was 762 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 3: a long time since y'all had a star like Aaron 763 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 3: Rodgers walk into this building. Do not lie. There was 764 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 3: some tiptoe, you know, eron to look out for it. 765 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 3: Now it's what up erin. I'm sure are things feel 766 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 3: different in that way from when I was sitting in 767 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,919 Speaker 3: the seat last year. So I think that has nothing 768 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 3: to do with Aaron or this organization. I think it's 769 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 3: human nature. I think it's human nature. Or if a 770 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 3: larger than life star, a person that you cannot write 771 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 3: the history of the NFL without mentioning, is in your 772 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,400 Speaker 3: building day in, day out, and he has a standard 773 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 3: and he's got a way about it. Things are a 774 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 3: little more tense it is. There's excitement, there's nervous theirs 775 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 3: all that, and this might have been what needed to 776 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 3: happen in some crazy way to let him have the 777 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,320 Speaker 3: best effing story. 778 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 2: ARC. 779 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,279 Speaker 3: Ever, let's beat Peyton Manning story. 780 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: ARC. 781 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,359 Speaker 3: Let's take these Jets to super Bowl. At least that's 782 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 3: what I think he's thinking. Let's go, let's Evan go. 783 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 3: Can we say that? 784 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 2: Sorry? 785 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,840 Speaker 1: Okay, thank you so much, Eric, thank you?

I do come back anytime, because remember the day 788 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 1: that Ka showed up at one juts drive six touchdown 789 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 1: passes from afore mentioned Aaron Rodgers. 790 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 3: It's just basic math. Everybody k plus New York equals 791 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 3: a Super Bowl. Can't we understand? Give me a quick 792 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:57,360 Speaker 3: place to go eat on my way. 793 00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 1: Out of town around Flora, Parker City, the. 794 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:04,279 Speaker 3: City, give me your best New York spot on No No, 795 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,320 Speaker 3: I just want Eric to get killed on his podcast 796 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 3: with the comments what are you going to say? 797 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 1: Well, I can't go in that direction? 798 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 3: What do you mean you can't give me a food? 799 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 3: You know, because I don't know where you're Oh do 800 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 3: you not eat?
