00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,159
Speaker 1: Jets Fans Welcome Jets podcast powered by Amazon Web Services.

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,159
Speaker 1: Another tearful reunion between myself and Marty Lyons and all

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: of the special surprise guests coming up in about five

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: or six minutes. With Marty. First of all, I want

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: to know how many marbles you still have rolling around

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: in your head right now. We're all still in for

7
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future, trapped in our houses, you know what, Bobby,

8
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how many marvels I had before this started.

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: But I'm doing well, you know. I get up every morning,

10
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: I have an hour conference call with the people who

11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: from the Lantech group and make sure that we're trying

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: to do as best as possible for all our employees.

13
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: Then I'll go out and walk anywhere from four to

14
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: seven miles, and I keep track of how many days

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: I've been out of the office because I try to

16
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: walk every day, so I know I've been out twenty

17
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: three days. So always well, you know, and it gives

18
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: you time to reflect, and every time they turn the

19
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: TV on, you get a whole new appreciation aition for

20
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: the doctors and the nurses and the volunteers and everybody

21
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: is on the front line. Uh going out there trying

22
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: to do the best that they can to protect us.

23
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: And I think if all of us can do the

24
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: best that we can by staying at home and staying

25
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: you know, away from other individuals and we're doing our party,

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: that's all you can do right now as we make

27
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: it through the difficult time. Four to seven miles, yeah,

28
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: forty seven miles a day, and you know, I just

29
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: uh started walking and all of a sudden, you know,

30
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: I went from two miles to four miles to six

31
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: miles and you just keep walking. It's one of those

32
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: things that you know, as long as you can keep counting,

33
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: and I count in paces of fifty and then I'll

34
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: go back to one, and you know, I just keep

35
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: the legs moving. You're like the forest gump of walking. Yeah,

36
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: you know I might be, but it's a it's a

37
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: what else am I gonna do? You know, you've got

38
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: to find something about I started reading a couple of books,

39
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: and then you start to watch different shows on the TV.

40
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: And I always find myself tuning into you know, Fox

41
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: News or CNN, and you jump back and forth, and

42
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, you can get depressed, but I I have

43
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: to commend that you know, Governor Cuomo and Governor Murphy

44
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: have done an excellent job trying to keep the people

45
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: of are of New York and the people of New

46
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: Jersey safe. I have to commend them. Yeah. Great, they've

47
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: done a great job. And I mean I played golf

48
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: with you. When you play golf, you welcome minimum of

49
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: nine miles with where you hit it. So it's probably

50
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: right about you know. I mean yeah, but it wouldn't

51
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: be nice if you give me a mulligan every now

52
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: and then on a t shot. That would be helpful. Yeah,

53
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: Long and Wrong is your nickname for a reason, you

54
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: know what, you know, it is amazing, and I'm sure

55
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: Jet fans and anybody listen to this podcast, everyone's kind

56
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: of going through the same thing. You know. I we're

57
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: not in prison, but it kind of feels like that,

58
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: I I kind of compared to what everyone's going through

59
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: right now, it's almost like it's a medium security prison,

60
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: like you're allowed to walk around outside and maybe visit

61
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: with people who are twenty feet away. But you know,

62
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's unbelievable not being able to live

63
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: your life, and on top of that, so slow and

64
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: fast time goes there's that unbelievable movie that people haven't

65
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: seen at the movie in the Name of the Father

66
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: with Daniel day Lewis. He plays that character Jerry Conlin,

67
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: who was wrongly convicted of a crime and spent about

68
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: twenty years in jail. And there's this one scene where

69
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: he's talking about kind of the concept of time and

70
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: it's like, drip, drip, drip. You like, can't believe how

71
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: long it takes for five or ten minutes to go by,

72
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you blink and years have

73
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: gone by. It's just we're all kind of in that

74
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: in our own weird way right now. I can't believe

75
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: we've been doing this for a month, you know, it

76
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: was it was almost exactly a month ago. I was

77
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: in Kansas City at the Big Twall basketball tournament and

78
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: they canceled it and sent us home. And now a

79
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: month later, we're still in this same cycle of having

80
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: to sit home. And I guess you're right to our part.

81
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: But week based at least the numbers that the governors

82
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: are talking about in both of our two states, and

83
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: we're the two hardest hit states in the country right now, Um,

84
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: we're having an impact we're definitely having a positive impact. Yeah,

85
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: you know what, Bobby gives you a chance to reflect

86
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: and just realize how fortunate we really are, both you

87
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: and I to be doing what we're doing doing it,

88
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: you know, be associated with the New York Jets, and

89
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: you kind of look back and say, wow, where did

90
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: nineteen years go? And and all of a sudden, you

91
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: know what, reality sets in that all these people dying

92
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: from coronavirus or dying alone, and you think about how

93
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: sad that is, and you think about a guy that

94
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: we have worked with for nineteen years, Dave Shapiro. He

95
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: lost his father and mother there within seven days of

96
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: losing one another. I mean that, and you don't have

97
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: a chance to have awake, you don't have a chance

98
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: to have a funeral, and there's no real closure because

99
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: you never had a chance to say goodbye. And that's

100
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: the hard part that this deadly diseases doing to every

101
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: one of us. So I think for all of us

102
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: staying at home, we need to take time to reflect

103
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: and realize, you know, just how fortunate we are and

104
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: realize that all the gifts that we have around us,

105
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: uh use them to the best of our abilities. Yeah,

106
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: I was you I was gonna complain about being stuck

107
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: in my house. But you know, you're good at that

108
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: making me feel like a jerk. It's kind of your specialty,

109
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: Mr Party, Mr Foundation, And I'm the idiot that that's

110
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: another is you know what we've already We've already canceled three,

111
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: maybe four fundraisers, and you know, if I can't get

112
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: get the golf tournament in in the second Monday in

113
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: July and foundation, I'm going to be in trouble. You know,

114
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: we're a mom and pops shop. At last year we

115
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: were a little short on bringing in money and started

116
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: January we had eighty one kids in the pipeline. And

117
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: with all these you know, charity events being canceled, I

118
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: think I'm just like every other nonprofit. Everybody's struggling at

119
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: this point. And you know, if I can't get that

120
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: big golf tournament off in July, then we're gonna have

121
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: some problems. Well, we will use the jets and my

122
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: vehicle and your vehicle to get the word out there.

123
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: If that's the case of try and draw. Yeah, I actually,

124
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: uh just did kind of spur of the moment go

125
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: fund me and if Jet fans are out there. You

126
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: can go on go fund me and search my name

127
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: and you'll find it. I mean, I was able to

128
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 1: raise about seven thousand dollars and I don't know, seventy

129
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: two hours to bring food to area hospitals. And it's easy,

130
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, people donate and then you're able

131
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: to kind of spend the money around and go to

132
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: some local restaurants. It's a win win because the restaurant

133
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: gets some take out orders, which of course that's the

134
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: only thing that a lot of member subsisting on right now.

135
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: And I'm able to bring that up to some area hospitals,

136
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: and uh, I guess the good time to bring in

137
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: our surprise guests by the way, because um, I'm married

138
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: to her. My wife, Julie is sitting right here, and

139
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: she about three weeks ago decided as a registered nurse

140
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: that she was frustrated because she felt like she wasn't

141
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: doing anything. And so all right, leaning here, honey him already.

Speaker 1: love it. Um, but that's what I've been doing. And

156
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I really need to help now.

157
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: I feel I kind of feel like a jerk. I'm

158
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: like in home, in my nice safe house while my

159
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: other fellow nurses and healthcare professionals are out on the

160
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: front lines. And UM, I ended up seeing my other

161
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: great friend, Kathleen Ollen and jet fan herself and she's

162
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: also registered nurse. I saw her in the shop right

163
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: and she said, Juel, you we gotta. I got in

164
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: touch with UM the Medical Reserve Corps and UH for

165
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: our county, and UM, she hooked me up with this

166
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: lovely woman. Her name is lovely Randall and the next

167
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: thing I knew about two days later, we were at

168
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: the Kane University COVID nineteen testing site, which they had

169
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: one week to put together. The National Guard in our

170
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: county officials put this together and now it's become the

171
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: gold standard of the of the entire state. They have

172
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: other people from other counties coming to see what we've

173
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: done and it's it's unbelievable. I was going to say,

174
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: I feel um proud to be a part of it.

175
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: It's a very safe and well coporation. Last yesterday we

176
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: saw five hundred patients. I my team of three nurses

177
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: saw three uh one hundred patients. UM, it's a very

178
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: well run system. Basically, the cars pull up after getting

179
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: a health screen UM through a phone call the day before,

180
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: and then they are told to show up. They get

181
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,239
Speaker 1: registered at the front of the line. UH. They basically

182
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: match up their ID and their slipped to get the test.

183
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: It's tucked into their windshield. They get an X made

184
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: out of soap on the car window. That's UH the

185
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: designated person to receive the test. And they wind through

186
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: this line and then the National guardsmen send them into

187
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: one of the tents and We're in the tent and

188
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: it's a team of three nurses and we communicate with

189
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: the patients holding up signs because we don't want them

190
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: opening their window. If they don't have to, their windows

191
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: are closed of the time. We swab them and out

192
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: they go. They get the results in about three days.

193
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: It's a very efficient system. But at the same time,

194
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: the whole thing is surreal. Every day and we're out there,

195
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: we're looking at each other saying, I cannot believe we're here.

196
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: This is absolutely bizarre. We're in a testing site. It's

197
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: like being in a science fiction movie. We are well protected,

198
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: we are in full ppe. Our safety is there, you know,

199
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: the natural guard in the county. That is their main

200
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: focus is our safety. And uh, it's been going well.

201
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm proud to be a part of it. I'm humble

202
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: to be a part of it. I can't believe they

203
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: put it together so quickly and so efficiently. It's smarty,

204
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: you're you're like the foundation. So we both felt guilty.

205
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: We were sitting here like schlunkers. So I had to

206
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: start to go funding and she had to go to

207
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: the drive up testing site. And now we're both volunteering

208
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: and I don't know. I guess we all feel like

209
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: we're doing our part to trying to get through this.

210
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: You know what, Julie, what was the what was Bob's

211
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: first reaction? Because you're now you're putting yourself in harm's

212
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: way with the beautiful family that you guys have. I

213
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: commend you for doing that, and you know it doesn't

214
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: surprise me that you're doing it. But what was Bob's

215
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: first reaction when you said, hey you he wasn't happy? Yeah, yeah, yes,

216
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: I can understand that. My friend. Yeah, he was with

217
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: me when I saw my girlfriend Kathleen in the in

218
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: the shop, right and we hatched this plan and he

219
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: was like he made He kept looking at Kathleen. He

220
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: was like, shut up, Kathleen. Yeah, thanks a lot, Kathleen.

221
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: Yeah great, Okay, let's go. We gotta go get more

222
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: or more serial let's go. And you know, when he

223
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: was kidding, because obviously I think he knew that it

224
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: was gonna I was I was kind of kidding, yeah,

225
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: kind of kidd And I swear, like, you know what, Julie,

226
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: when your heart opened up when that earthquake happened back

227
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: in two thousand and ten over in Haiti. He tried

228
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: to talk Bob into maybe adopting some baby from over there. So,

229
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: like I said, what happened. I mean, I'm not completely

230
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: that really just you know, makes me think of you,

231
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: because honestly, I didn't go to Haiti on those health

232
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: missions until you went, you and fired me, and that's

233
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: why I've been there. Well yeah, but you know what, Julie,

234
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: it is. It is inspiring to go over there and

235
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: see the the type of world that those kids have

236
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: to grow up into and the environment that they have

237
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: around in and it just kind of makes you feel

238
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: good that, you know what, even if you're over there

239
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: for a day or you know, a couple of days,

240
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: you know you're making a difference. And when you leave,

241
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: you you realize that it wasn't You didn't just make

242
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: a difference for them, You made a difference for yourself.

243
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: You come back and you look at everything a little

244
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: bit differently, and you feel better about it, and you

245
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: can share that experience with the kids. I'm trying to

246
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: What I'm trying to do is I want them to

247
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: feel like good things happen when you're brave. You know.

248
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: That's like the the thought that I want to try

249
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: and get across the hint to them. But the thing

250
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: with Haiti and with the thing that's happening now, what

251
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: I said to Bobby was that it's um this heightened

252
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: sense of all of your feelings. When I'm in Haiti,

253
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: and as I when I'm in the testing site, You're

254
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: feeling um, nervous, You're feeling um confused sometimes about what's

255
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: going to happen next, You're feeling hopeful for the people

256
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: that you're taking care of, your feeling inspired by the

257
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: other people that you're working with. You're feeling all of

258
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: these emotions all at once. And that's how I feel

259
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: when I'm in Haiti, and that's how I feel now. Honestly,

260
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: it's uh and that and that's exhausting that, you know,

261
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: to be feeling all those emotions um at once, at

262
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: such a heightened level. And I felt a lot better

263
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: about it once I saw what they were, you know,

264
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: strapping them into when they went to this, And that

265
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: made all the difference when they when they first went,

266
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: we didn't know and they didn't know what they were

267
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: walking into. I mean, all right, all right, we're gonna

268
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: go volunteer to drive up test things. So Okay, well,

269
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: we're registered nurses, let's go help. And then they sent

270
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: me a picture and they've got the face shield on,

271
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: they've got the full you know, gown on, they've got

272
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: three or four pairs of gloves on, they're taped in.

273
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: I mean, they they we actually feel more endangered at

274
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: the grocery store than I think they feel the testing

275
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: site we did. Yeah. Yeah, wait, Julie, being that you're

276
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: on that front line, how much longer do you think

277
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: that America is gonna be, you know, running these tests

278
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: before we can really get back to having a normal

279
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: day and normal life. Right. Yeah, that's of course the

280
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: million dollar question. I mean, and that adds to, you know,

281
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: the confusion and the uncertainty of it. But I mean,

282
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: I definitely think it's we have a lease another two months,

283
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: another two months at least. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I

284
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: don't know if we're gonna be locked down for another

285
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: two months, but I think they're gonna be testing people

286
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: pretty regularly for for the four seeable future. And I

287
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: hope we don't. But I can't wait for this job

288
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: to end. Yeah, you to do it, but I can't

289
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: wait for it to be over. And this will just

290
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: be the you know, it's a main parking lot of

291
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: this beautiful school and I just there and there's no kids,

292
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: and it's just, you know, it's like just another level

293
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: of all the weirdness that's going on. Well, I think

294
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: I speak for a lot of us, a lot of

295
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: the jet fans, and just two people that maybe you

296
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: don't hear from every single day. But thank you for

297
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: what you're doing, and you know, we really do appreciate it.

298
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: Make sure that you tell all the doctors and nurses

299
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: how much we appreciate them, and you know, we'll just

300
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: keep praying. There's a lot of jet fans at the

301
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: testing site. There's a lot of jet fans, a lot

302
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: of jet stickers on the cars, lots of fans. I

303
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: don't get a Jenny chance to talk to them because

304
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: I basically am like, okay, open your window, let me

305
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: swab get a minute. Yep. And these are these are

306
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: now and these are now Julie's people in a way

307
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: that she never expected that they would be, because she

308
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: legitimately has become a lunatic jet fan over the last uh,

309
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: you know, twelve to fifteen. You and I've been doing

310
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: this for eighteen years. I would say the first two

311
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: or three years that did this, she was, you know,

312
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: kind of a fan and grew. But by the time

313
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: we were like three or four years in, I mean

314
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: she became a borderline face painter. Like I think she's

315
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: on that level. I didn't grow up in an NFL house.

316
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: My dad loved Notre Dame. My brother went to Virginia Tech.

317
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: I went to the Lenovo. We are college sports people.

318
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: I didn't have that feeling when Bobby got the job.

319
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: I was like, that's nice, Sonny, here's some spaghetti and

320
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: met Paul's good for you. I'm so happy. And now

321
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:57,479
Speaker 1: it's like, uh love that. Well, you know what Julie

322
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: throw into the mix with Katrina singing the Nashoy anthem

323
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: the way that she has the last couple of years,

324
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: that's Christmas present. That's been my Christmas presents for the

325
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: past two years. Off the most. That's just an unbelievable moment.

326
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: It's amazing. My you know, Bobby's you know, giving her

327
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: the thumbs up out the press window and she's down

328
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: there and that girl, man, she's got some pipes. Yeah,

329
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: I wish you to give her the volume. I don't

330
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 1: know where the rest of it came from, but I

331
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: definitely want at least accounted for projections. What she probably

332
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: doesn't see is seeing Bob wipe his eyes. Yes, well

333
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 1: I'm up there, you know, but I've got enough of

334
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: a buffer that she might not be able to see

335
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: the full emotion on me. But but I want to.

336
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: I want to thank my bride for everything that she's

337
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: doing and for joining us here on the Official Jets Podcast. Julie,

338
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: stay safe. I love you, thank you, love you. Marty.

339
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: We gotta do a little football here because you know,

340
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: this is a football podcast as well, and the draft

341
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: is a couple of weeks away, and I mean right

342
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 1: now it's our escape to talk about football free agency

343
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: and who the Jets might take, and sitting there at eleven,

344
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean from everything that you've read,

345
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: everything that you've heard, whoever you've talked to, Like, what

346
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: do you right now, if you had to make your

347
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 1: best guess at what you think they are going to do?

348
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: What do you think it's gonna be? You know what

349
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: I mean. I'm thinking that they're gonna go with a

350
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I know that they've rebuilt the offensive line.

351
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: They already have four new offensive lineman that they got

352
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: during the free agency period. I think they got to

353
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: give Sam some help on the outside. You've got Paraman

354
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: coming in, but you still need somebody to compliment him.

355
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: So I would hope that they would, you know, lean

356
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: to the offensive side, get a wide receiver. Maybe in

357
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: the second round you can get an offensive tackle, and

358
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: then of course you need to get a pure pass

359
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: rush or you've got to get somebody off the edge

360
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: that can beat the tackle one on one and without

361
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: blitzing a lot. So you know, I think that uh,

362
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas has done a fantastic job. He hasn't gone

363
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: out and opened up the bank and overspent. I think

364
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: he's bringing in some quality players. There's gonna be good

365
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: competition at both the offensive line in the middle linebacker

366
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: position because they got quite a few players in there.

367
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: And I think if you have that open competition and

368
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: you fit into the system and you don't make a

369
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: lot of mental mistakes, and the biggest issue is you've

370
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: got to stay healthy. I mean, look how many players

371
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: the team ended with I R last year. I remember

372
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: talking to Chris Johnson at the end of the season.

373
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: I said, Chris, I don't know what it is, but

374
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: I've never seen this many players on an IR list

375
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: at the end of the year. Something's not you know

376
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: what I mean. I know that you know they've ended

377
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: up with you know whatever, winning six out of the

378
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: last eight and ended up with seven wins. If you

379
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: would have told me at the start of the year,

380
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: these are the injury these these are the guys who

381
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: are gonna be out, and here has cumulative how long

382
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: they'll be out for. I would have thought they would

383
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: have been a four win maybe a five win team

384
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: losing all of those guys for the time that they

385
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: lost them. So I agree. I think they did well

386
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: last year to be as competitive as they were. Having

387
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: said that, um, let me put it this way, because

388
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: I'm not a hundred percent sure that I agree that

389
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna go with a wide receiver in the first round.

390
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: I guess I think going with a wide receiver in

391
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: the first rounds and no brainer if all four of

392
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: those tackles are all off the board by the time

393
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: they get to eleven. But let me put it this way.

394
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: Let's say that their number one tackle is on the

395
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: board at eleven and their number one wide receiver is

396
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: on the board at eleven, they just get lucky. And

397
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: however they have the tackles graded, their number one guy

398
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: actually drops to them at eleven, and you still have

399
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: whoever Jerry Judy or Stedey Lamb or whoever their number

400
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: one receiver is. Given that, do you still think they

401
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: would go with a wide receiver or do you think

402
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: they would take the tackle if the guy they had

403
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 1: rats Plot rated highest was available at the level you know,

404
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: if Ibban, that's a good question. I think Joe Douglas

405
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: being an offensive lineman, he made lean a little bit

406
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: more to get in that fifth offensive lineman in there

407
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: and try to build, try to build something in front

408
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: of sam Um. But do you know what you gotta

409
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: look to and see if Quincy and Noua, if he's

410
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: going to be back. You know he had that neck

411
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: injury last year. If he's back and they the medical

412
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: staff knows that he's going to be back, I mean

413
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,959
Speaker 1: that goes into the draft decision that Joe Douglas and

414
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: the coaching staff have to make also if any so

415
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: you know they've got a high to they've got two

416
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: high threes. Because I don't care what anybody says, it's

417
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: still highway robbery, what they did with the Giants with

418
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams. Oh, I mean the Giants pick is what

419
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 1: the fourth pick in the third round, and then they

420
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: got their pick in the third round in in historically

421
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: deep wide receiver draft. That's why I I put these

422
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: odds on it. I think it's seven that they're gonna

423
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: take a tackle at number eleven because I think one

424
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: of those four guys is going to be available, and

425
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: I still think that that's a glaring need even with

426
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: what they did bring in George Fantoon, even with the

427
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: guys that they've signed, unless they pull a stunner in

428
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: trade for Trent Williams, I think they will have tackles

429
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: a major need. So if you feel like tackles a

430
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: major need and you can get that in the first

431
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: round and you can still address wide receiver in the

432
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 1: second or third round, I think they're gonna take a receiver.

433
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: They might take two before the draft is over, but

434
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: I put it in about seven percent they'll take a tackle,

435
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 1: assuming one drops to eleven, about twenty percent that they'll

436
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: take a receiver because that could definitely play out of

437
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: the four tackles all go, or if they've got like,

438
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: you know, whatever, Jerry Judy as the third best player

439
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: in the draft, and he drops to eleven. Even if

440
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: a tackles there, you might say, well, I just I

441
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: can't not take my third best player, so I'm gonna

442
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: take him there, and I left ten as an out

443
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: that let's just say for the sake of argument, like

444
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: a Kuda or Isaiah Simmons, one of these really tremendous

445
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: you know, maybe perennial pro bowler defensive players drops to

446
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: that spot and they also maybe have that player third

447
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: or fourth overall on their board, and they're just stunned.

448
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: I can't believe that guy's there at eleven. You know,

449
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: you might take that guy too, So I mean, I

450
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: think all of that is in play, but I you know,

451
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: I think it just they're gonna have to read what

452
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: the board brings them at eleven based on what happens

453
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: in those top ten picks. And you know, unless somehow

454
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: you've got you know, spy as in every other front office,

455
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: you top ten are gonna go, and so they're gonna

456
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: be I think you kind of a read and react mode. Well, also, Bobby,

457
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: I was reading today about Jamal Adams and you know,

458
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: whether the Jets are really going to try to sign

459
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: them to a long term contractor where is he going

460
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: to be waved again out there? And maybe there's a

461
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: team that might want to trade for him. Uh. I

462
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: think Jamal Adams is one that require I don't know.

463
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: This was the trade that was kind of thrown out

464
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: there hypothetically if the Cowboys were still interested in Jamal Adams, Um,

465
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: you know, I think they've got the seven pick if

466
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: memory serves, So would you trade Jamal Adams for the

467
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: seventeenth pick and maybe the Cowboys number two pick as well? No,

468
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: I went not enough for two picks. I think if

469
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: you throw a player in there, then I might consider it.

470
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: I really think Jamal Adams is you know, certainly he

471
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: say star player for the Jets, and I think he's

472
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: a true leader on that defense. And I think too

473
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: that he adapted pretty well to Um. You know, Greg Williams,

474
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: you know, his the defense coordinator, put him in places

475
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: that he could come up with big plays. Now, can

476
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: you replace him? I think one thing that you realized

477
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 1: last year is that with so many players getting hurt,

478
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,239
Speaker 1: everybody can be replaced. But when you replace him with

479
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: somebody with less talent, you're gonna have worse results. So

480
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 1: I think that Adams also, Jamal Adams is a cultural

481
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 1: player in your locker room. Like he's just a natural

482
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: born leader. He's just one of those guys you were

483
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: that way. I remember watching you and like, you know

484
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: you you obviously weren't a perennial pro bowler, a Hall

485
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: of Famer, but you brought equality to the Jets that

486
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: only the guys in the locker room that were around you,

487
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 1: I think realized that you raw. And Jamal Adams is

488
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Jamal Adams could be a Hall of Fame safety,

489
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: but Jamal Adams does bring some of what you brought,

490
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, in a in a way as a leader

491
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: and as a you know, an emotional kind of um

492
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: barometer with that team. That that that's hard to replace.

493
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: That that's an intangible that I'm not sure everybody realizes

494
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: you're also trying to replace if you get rid of

495
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 1: a player like that. Yeah, you're exactly right, Pop, because

496
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: you know what, football is a very emotional game. You

497
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: have to play it with emotion, and you know it's

498
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: contagious also, and Jamal Adams has a way of bringing

499
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 1: out the best of his teammates. He just you know,

500
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: sometimes he may go over the top a little bit,

501
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: but that's his personality. UM, So it'll be interesting to

502
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: see again what Joe Douglas does with that. But again,

503
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: the communication lines from everything that I'm hearing from the Jets,

504
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: from you know, Joe Douglas to Adam Gaze, to the

505
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 1: coaching staff and the scouts that they have. Everybody's in

506
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: one room talking about the players, just not a closed

507
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: door meeting with just Joe Douglas and his staff and

508
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: the coach is not having some sort of an input.

509
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: That's why I think this is going to be a

510
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: valuable year, and this is the year that you can

511
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: judge whether Adam Gaye and Joe Douglas and where the

512
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: future of the Jets are going to go because they're

513
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 1: bringing in their players. Last year they had to coach

514
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: somebody else's players and unfortunately, you know, going seven and nine,

515
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: you have to restructure the The NFL team will never

516
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: be the same as it was last year, is constant changing.

517
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,239
Speaker 1: I'm excited about it. I'm decided to get to know

518
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: some of these new faces. You know, you you read

519
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: about the players coming in and you've built relationship with

520
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: players from last year and they're no longer there. And

521
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: and we've seen a lot of rotation of players over

522
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: the last nineteen years, but to see Jordan Jenkins get

523
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: resigned and I I will always really enjoyed watching you know,

524
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: was James Burgess. They're going to bring him back, so

525
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: you know, you're excited about, uh seeing what they can

526
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: do with a whole new roster and making the perfect

527
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: example of one of those guys. There's a cultural effect

528
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: to having him in the locker room that unless you're

529
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: around Jordan Jenkins and you hear him, you know, you

530
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: hear him talk yere I was, teammates react to him,

531
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: you know, you you see the role that he plays

532
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: from a leadership standpoint on that team, You just you

533
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: don't totally get it um because I mean, he may

534
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: not be an All Pro on the field, but there's

535
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: a trickle down effect on that defense happening there. There

536
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: just is well, you know, if Bobby I think he

537
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: would be an All Pro player if they didn't go

538
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: seven and nine. You know, Unfortunately, unfortunately a lot of

539
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: players fly underneath the radar and they're not getting voted

540
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: into the Pro Bowl because of the team record. Um,

541
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: so I think Jordan can. He can definitely go out

542
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: there and perform like that. And I think if the

543
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: Jets go maybe eleven and five or ten and six,

544
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: you'll see him out of Pro Bowl And it will

545
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: be interesting to see if Avery Williamson can come back. Yea,

546
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's it'll be they They should have some

547
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: pieces on defense this year that they didn't have last year,

548
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: or at least on the front seven. Hopefully they can

549
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: stay healthy and hopefully we'll get a chance to do

550
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: this again, Marty. So I want Jet fans out there

551
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,760

558

00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: you know, let everybody know that uh, you know, I

575
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: said that on the last podcast that we did, Bob

576
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: that you know what, when you're sitting there doing enough

577
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: and take out your roll decks, take out your phone,

578
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: call somebody that you have and talked to in a

579
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: while and just see how they're doing one. You know,

580
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: that means a great deal to the person on the

581
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: other end of the phone because you know what, maybe

582
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: you haven't had a uh conversation with him in any year,

583
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: two years, three years, maybe you had a little bit

584
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: of a falling out and you just call him up.

585
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: You say I was thinking about you today, and you

586
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: hang up the phone and trust me, you'll feel a

587
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: lot better that you did it. And on the other

588
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,520
