Great to 4 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: see you just on the field watching a little bit. 5 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: I guess of voluntary workouts, right, Yeah, we've got all 6 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 1: the guys you know, vets and returning returning players out 7 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: on the field. So beautiful day weather was awesome and 8 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: felt great. Good to have guys out there. A lot 9 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: of guys back in attendance, especially after the draft. That 10 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 1: usually gets things going a little quicker, getting guys more 11 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: apt up about being back in the building. So have 12 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: you been able to sleep at all after the draft? Yeah, 13 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: a little bit. We're still trying to fill the rookie 14 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: minicamp you know, roster and and then you have guys 15 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: back out who signed contracts with other teams, because you 16 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: get you know, you have your seven draft picks and 17 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: the five guys that we signed as free agents, and 18 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: then there's gonna be fifty plus other guys as rookie 19 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: minicamp tryouts. So is those guys signed contracts with other teams. 20 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,279 Speaker 1: We have to fill those voids, and so still rolling 21 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: as of a few minutes ago. Everybody's talking about the 22 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: hall that you guys gotten in the draft, and we're 23 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: gonna get to that in a minute, but can you 24 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: talk about some of those undrafted free agents? A five 25 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: person class a little bit smaller than maybe in year's past. Yeah, 26 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: it's so obviously smaller. Like you said, we had more 27 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 1: players on the roster currently than in year's past. But 28 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: I think that speaks to the depth that we added 29 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: and through the offseason through free agency and the guys 30 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: we felt good about coming back from last year and 31 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: the new group coming in. There's a couple of guys 32 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: who stand out really are Arizonovan Knight, running back from 33 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 1: NC State who led the country and kick returns and 34 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: it has been a physical, durable back for for NC 35 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: State and productive. Another guy who would come to mind 36 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: would be Tony Adams, who has played safety and corner 37 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,639 Speaker 1: out of Illinois. Versatile defensive back who's going to provide 38 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: good competition for the depth. And then d Q Thomas 39 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: is a linebacker from Middle twen to See State who 40 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: we felt really good about, brought in on a thirty visit, 41 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: made a school visit, private workout with him. So another 42 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: guy who's gonna add what we feel good competition for 43 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: the depth in the back end of the roster linebacker. 44 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: What's important a rookie minikip because it's changed so much 45 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: that maybe when I broke into the league, you've got 46 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: in a league for a long time, used to get 47 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: guys on the field and it was a little bit 48 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: intense and you saw some physicality out there, whereas now 49 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: I think I think teams are taking the more proper approach. Right, Yeah, 50 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: you want to mitigate the risk of it. You know, 51 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: it's awesome to have the guys here and you know 52 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna be showing up, and the undrafted guys are 53 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: showing up and then the Ricky Minicamp tryouts trying to 54 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: prove themselves. So what you want to do is try 55 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: to mitigate the risk of of the guys who you've 56 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: drafted and signed and really get them acclimated to the building. 57 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: Might be there first, might be their second time in 58 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 1: the building if they made a thirty visit. So it'll 59 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: just get him opportunity to get in the locker room, 60 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: get around the guys, be on the grass, and get 61 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: used to our new um protocols that that we do 62 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: in player performance in terms of getting guys ready to 63 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: get back on the field last weekend. Let's go back 64 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: to the draft. If I told you beforehand this was 65 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: gonna be your seventh person class, would you believe that? 66 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: Not at all? I would have taken it and still will. 67 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: So it's awesome, man, to to get what we see 68 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: as four first round picks. You know, with Breeese Hall, 69 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: the way we traded up for him, and the grades 70 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: and that we had on him, and the the interest 71 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: and the value and the love that we had for 72 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: Breefe as a player. So fired up about it. So 73 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: Jermaine Johnson, We'll get back to Sauce Gardner and Garrett 74 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: Wilson in a second. But what's it like in the 75 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: room after Wilson selected at ten? You're not scheduled to 76 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: be on the clock again until early in the second round. 77 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: What happens with you? Guys with you Joe Robert and company. Yes, 78 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: so we you know, we start talking about guys who 79 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: are still on the board and where we value them. 80 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: And we had meetings leading up to the draft about 81 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,839 Speaker 1: guys if somebody somebody slid uh, who are a group 82 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: of guys who we would be willing to to look 83 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: at going up from the second round to get in 84 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: back in the bottom of the first or at some 85 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: point in the first. So we had targets and Jermaine 86 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: was one of those. And and so as we saw 87 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: him slide, Uh, we were making all kinds of calls 88 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: and reaching out to teams about, you know, if you 89 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: guys interested moving out here.

Yeah, 172 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: he's a really unique personality because he has this he 173 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: the Sauce Moniker on him, right, So he's got that 174 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: the nickname, and you you think this is gonna be 175 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: the personality, but then you meet him and he's got 176 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: just this real, genuine, humble, modest personality to him. But 177 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: he's comfortable and who he is and what he's gonna 178 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: bring to the team. So it's kind of unique to 179 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: get that, especially for a corner who's drafted that high 180 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: and with that skill set and then that mentality and personality. 181 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: So we're fired up about Sauce. Obviously, I think some 182 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: guys probably it would have been tough for them because 183 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks didn't throw his way last year, but he 184 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: stayed engaged and still came up with the three interceptions, 185 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: never gave up a touchdown during his college career, and 186 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: they even it's amazing. Yeah, they even sent him on 187 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: some bulitz is as well. You three six yeah, yeah, 188 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: I think he ended up with six in his career, 189 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: so you know, send him as a cat corner. It's 190 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: it's awesome when he get a guy that size who's 191 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: coming off the edge and the ability to track down 192 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: a quarterback from the back side, the would be a 193 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: good value. What about the transformation of the secondary and 194 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: not only Sawce, but you guys signed DJ Read and 195 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: free agency and bringing Jordan Whitehead and all those are 196 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: just three moves, but those are the headlines. No, and 197 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: then bringing back LaMarcus Joyner as well. You know, coming 198 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: off Lamarcus's injury last year and he was starting for 199 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: US and started the year down to Carolina before you know, 200 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: unfortunate injury. But it yeah, it's uh, it's reshaped it 201 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: and it's created some serious competition because you know, Bryce 202 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: Hall started played a lot last year, Echoes started and 203 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: played a lot last year. Ashton Davis, Um, I'm Elijah Riiley, 204 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: Jason Pennock made the transition. So you know, there's a 205 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: lot of guys at each level now who are going 206 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 1: to compete to start going to compete for backup, compete 207 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 1: for sub packages. So we we feel great about the 208 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: situation now and it's we're looking forward to those guys 209 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: who are competing to try and make that next step. Yeah. 210 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: I love that mentality that both Gardner and d J 211 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: bring to the table, Like DJs the Ultimate Yeah, five nine, 212 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna play like up six seven Yeah. Yeah, 213 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: you can't tell him he's five nine's and the way 214 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: the way he plays it's it's great. You know, there 215 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: there's guys who have been really successful throughout their career 216 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: and at that size, but it's more the mentality and 217 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: what type of athleticism and how sticky they are in 218 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: coverage and in terms of their ability to match routes 219 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: and so that we think that's what DJ brings. He's 220 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: got a high level of instincts, high level of toughness, 221 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: and it carries over in his play with with the 222 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: interceptions he made in the Seahawks and part of the 223 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: reason we went for him. Yeah, um, and you don't 224 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: see a lot of guys his size play outside, but 225 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: he does it, and he does it well. Uh, let 226 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: me ask you about the transformation on the offensive side 227 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: of the ball at the tight end position. A lot 228 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: of people probably surprised that you guys take Jeremy Ruckert there, 229 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: but I kind of think that speaks to you guys 230 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 1: with the best player available approach right exactly, you know, 231 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: the trusting the board and the value of the board, 232 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: because I'm sure the outside perspectives, well, you you've signed 233 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: c J, You've gone and got Tyler conklin so and 234 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: then you've got Kenny yo Boa coming back and Trayvon westco. 235 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: But when you get to that point of the draft 236 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: in the third round, um, Jeremy stood out, you know, 237 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: stood out on our board as a guy who had 238 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: fallen a little bit from where we never thought he 239 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: would be. But he had had a foot injury. It 240 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: had suffered during the Senior Bowl, never really got to 241 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: do anything in the combine or at a pro date, 242 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: so I'm sure that affected his slide a little bit, 243 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: but uh, hopefully we can reap the benefits of it. 244 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: And obviously being a New York kid and Long Island kid, 245 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: it's a dream come true for him and it's a 246 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: great story. Uh Hesama Cochland. They combined for a hunter 247 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: Atten catches last year. Right nearly have yards receiving and 248 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: then you add Rutger to the mix. And I know 249 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: the numbers don't really jump out at you in terms 250 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: of what he did at Ohio State. But we gotta 251 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: remind everybody who was playing with Garrett will Soon just 252 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: playing with Crystal, but he was playing with Jamison Williams exactly. 253 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: And doesn't that say something about his mentality that the 254 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 1: kid never transferred. He stayed at Ohio State because he 255 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: probably could have got more opportunities in the pass game 256 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: somewhere else. Yeah, for sure. And just everything you talked about, 257 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: everything mentioned the you know, the guy stuck it out 258 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: and he will do the dirty work. He'll be attached 259 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage as a why he'll block. 260 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: He can play off the line, he can run crunch, 261 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: he can run wham, you can make athletic perimeter adjustments 262 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: as a blocker, and then he can stretch the field. 263 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: He had a awesome catch, sick one handed catch. I 264 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: think it was in the Big Ten Championship two years 265 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: ago when Justin Fields was still there that that really 266 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 1: kind of springboarded them into the second half of the 267 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 1: success of that game that they played in. Roberts said 268 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: that it's hard to consistently have eight nine ten play 269 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: drives and depend on that score. In the NFL, can 270 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: you talk about the playmakers with Wilson and Breece Hall, 271 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: because those guys you don't think of a Hall at 272 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: two seventeen pounds and says up four four, But he is. 273 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: He got fifty six touchdowns that Iowa stay. And then 274 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: Garrett I was telling him about this, like every time 275 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: you see a Garrett Wilson highlight, very rarely is a 276 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: defensive back in the picture because he creates so much separation. Yeah, exactly, 277 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: And just speaking on the you know, it's hard for 278 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: those nine play drives. We were looking for adding playmakers 279 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: and guys who have the ability to make explosive place 280 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: and when you look at what we've built offensively, you know, 281 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: starting with the free agency last year of adding Corey 282 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: Davis and then we draft Elijah Moore. In addition to 283 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: the fact now we have uh, we add Garrett Wilson 284 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: at receiver, and we have Barrios coming back, We have 285 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: Denzel Mims coming back. So that's a group right there, 286 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: in addition to Jeff Smith and a few other guys 287 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: who I'm obviously failing to mention. But you add those 288 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: guys with the three tight ends who we've added, and 289 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: then you know, we have Michael Carter, we have Keevin 290 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: Coleman and Ty Johnson and guys and Michael p Ryan, 291 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: and you can go on and on about in the 292 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: offensive skill players where we've added, and it's guys who 293 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: have the ability to break explosive place and make life 294 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: easier for Zach and make like life easier for the 295 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: play caller and Mike and the offensive line. So we're 296 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: fired up about what we've added. A lot of options, 297 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: a lot of versatility, and all started free agency with 298 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: Lincoln Thomlinson because Joe continues, you guys continue to build 299 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: that offensive line. Yeah, yeah, it's say it was a 300 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: key component for us. Um you know, we address things 301 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: in free agency where it gave us the flexibility in 302 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: the draft. Lacoln obviously is at the forefront of that 303 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: what we added on the offensive side of the ball. 304 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: Uh as a former pro bowler who's really knows this system, 305 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: having played in it in San Francisco, having been coached 306 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: previously by John Benton and La Fleur, so it's a 307 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: natural transition for him in the offense and just adding 308 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: him inside and and matched with Elijah Vera, Tucker and 309 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: Fanton Beckton and McGovern. We feel really good about the 310 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: five we have right now. What about on the other 311 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: side of the ball defensive line. We talked about Jermaine 312 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: a little bit, but if you had Loss and then 313 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: he's a hundred percent at the start of the the season, 314 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: I know we're looking at training campus, maybe at target 315 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: right where he gets back on the field, but Loss 316 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: and Jermaine Johnson and then Michael Clemens as well. Yeah, 317 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: you resigned Vinnie Curry, you brought in Jacob Martin from 318 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: the East and Texas as well. We know what you 319 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: have in the tier with leading the way there of 320 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: course as Quinn and Williams, but Sheldon Rankins the company resigned. 321 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: Nathan Sheppard can talk about the front line talent you've assembled, 322 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: but the depth as well. Yeah, it's it's gonna be 323 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: an incredible competition. Uh, not only for who's gonna start, 324 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: but for the back end. Who who's gonna this Our 325 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: competition for the fifty three is gonna be one that's 326 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: one to watch. It's gonna be really fun with the 327 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: depth that we have, Like you mentioned, a defensive end 328 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: and on the interior d tackle um with with quinnin 329 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: with Sheldon rankins Um. We've got the young guys from 330 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: last year and two years with with Zuniga and the 331 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: addition of Timmy Ward and Bryce Huff the way Bryce 332 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: Huffs played, so John and Jonathan Marshall, and I mean, 333 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: I could go on and on about the numbers. Right 334 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: now we're eleven deep at defensive end and uh six 335 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: or seven right now on the interior. So it's a 336 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 1: good problem to have. It's gonna be a fun offseason 337 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: and see how these guys compete against each other and 338 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: fight for reps. Man, I gotta imagine Salah is so 339 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: pumped up in terms of we know, like the way 340 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: he he wants attack opponent offense is and now it's 341 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 1: got the strength and numbers. Yeah, the the depth is 342 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: significantly different than you know where we've got here from 343 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, and the turnover has been crazy. It's from 344 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: out of the players are currently on the roster. I 345 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: think we have seven from that twenty nineteen team. So 346 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: it's we've continued to add depth across the board, and 347 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: I know Robert's happy about it. We're happy about it, 348 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: coaches staff is happy about it. So looking forward to it. Yeah, 349 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: can you speak to going back to those trades that 350 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: gave you this draft capital, the trade of Sam Donald 351 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: in the trade of Jamal Adams. For a while there 352 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: we were just looking at and saying, oh, you got 353 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: the draft capital. Now you're actually putting names and faces 354 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 1: to that capital, right, And you know that was a 355 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: tough Those are tough decisions because both those guys had 356 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: had been high picks for us, and we're talented players, 357 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: and you know, part of the reason Joe made decision 358 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: to come GM, part of the decision made to come 359 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: back with assistant GM. You look for guys who are 360 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: are difference makers and reasons to to make a transition 361 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: to come to the Jets, and both those guys were 362 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: part of those components. And you know, you have to 363 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: make tough decisions in the league and how you want 364 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: to assemble your roster, and you're the way you compose 365 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: the roster. And we felt like taking those draft picks 366 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 1: that we that have obtained for both those players was 367 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: gonna help set us set us up for for more 368 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: success down the road. Right, And again, there's always inherent 369 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 1: risk involved, and I think when you make those moves, 370 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: people at the time are gonna be on either side 371 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: of the funds. And you trade a guy like Jamal 372 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: Adams use a bus player on your roster. But now 373 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: you look at it in terms of where the roster 374 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: is right now, you guys, I know the proofs in 375 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: the pudding as far as the wins and the losses 376 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: on the field, things like that. It's really something in 377 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: terms of how this thing has changed since Salah walked 378 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: in the building and you guys took over in terms 379 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: of you just said it, the numbers on this roster, 380 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: how you've completely flipped this. Yeah, and that's you know, 381 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: like we've discussed with the picks and how we wanted 382 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: to address it, and we've done it with both sides 383 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: of the ball and with multiple players that we've obtained 384 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: from from those two two guys. So the volume of 385 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: picks have helped us spread out, you know, evenly across offense, 386 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: across defense, and upgrade at the same time at other 387 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: positions of value. So it's been good. When we're not 388 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: done yet, keep working. Well, what do you want to 389 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 1: say about your staff? The guys you work with every day? 390 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: You know, I know you can talk just about Joe, 391 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: but the is the world or Socie or dan Zy, 392 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: what do you want to say about the guys were 393 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: there every day. I can't say enough about about those guys. 394 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: And you know you started within our within our department UM. 395 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: From a personnel operations standpoint, what Christina Wedding and dance 396 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: by Osky do for us from coordinating our day to 397 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: day operations, It's it's priceless. I can't I can't say 398 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: enough good things about them and how they keep a 399 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: structure and keep us in line, keep us in our 400 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: processes and our plan together. And then it really helps me. 401 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,959 Speaker 1: It helps chat Alexander, it helps Greg when Greg's handling 402 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: everything pro side. And then with John Carr, how we 403 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: you know, function and handle things. From the college level UM, 404 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: our college staff did an epic job this year in 405 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 1: terms of volume of players. It's a record number of 406 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: players we have written. There were eighteen thousand players entering 407 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: the draft compared to a typical twelve to thirteen thousand 408 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: players enter the draft. So just the numbers alone that 409 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: our guys have had to write and the players they 410 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 1: had to evaluate in the time they spent on the 411 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: road and away from their families and just driven to 412 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: help us improve our roster and improve the jets. I 413 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: can't think him enough. The the entire I know I've 414 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: missed some names, but the entire group is has been 415 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: phenomenal for us. What's Joe d like when this is 416 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: all happen? And um, we saw the moments captured through 417 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: video and phones and things like that, but the bear hugs. 418 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: What was he like throughout the weekend? He always stays steady. Yeah, 419 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: it's like he's he's even Keel stays cool. You know. 420 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 1: The I guess the old the duck adage is it 421 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: are the the swan on top of the water. Everything 422 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: is is calm and smooth, and underneath the feet are paddling. 423 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: And I would say Joe has has a very calm 424 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: demeanor like that, and and I'm sure we're all on 425 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: the inside, we're ready to go, but man, he never wavers. 426 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: And then but when he makes that trade or we 427 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 1: get a picked, you know, it's hard, the energy and 428 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: the excitement and how just the presence of the room 429 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: and how everybody just explodes just waiting for that moment 430 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: and then it happens, and it's like it erupts. It's cool. 431 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: It's really cool to be part of it. How cool 432 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: is it the way the staffs have aligned. Uh. Robert 433 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: Sala comes in here in January, but Joe didn't know. 434 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: He knew of him, obviously, he goes through the interview process, 435 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: but it's not like those guys that worked together before. 436 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: He brings in his coaching staff and then from your side, 437 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: from the football side, as far as the scouts are concerned, 438 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: it seems like the alignement is just off the charts. Yeah, 439 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: it's been that way since they arrived in January of 440 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: last year. Because they they put out their profiles what 441 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: we want offensively, what we want defensively, by position. Robert 442 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: had a plan for how he wanted it to look 443 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: from from scheme aspect, from player profile aspect, how things 444 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: wanted they wanted it done on a day to day basis, 445 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 1: and our guys made an incredible adjustment from player player 446 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: personnel side, you know, because it's not easy in January 447 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: where you've been writing and looking for two different schemes 448 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you have to switch and like, 449 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: all right, I've got to make some adjustments to these positions. 450 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 1: Specifics what we're looking for. Our our staff did an 451 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: incredible job of adjusting to that.

They 488 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: might be eating or hanging out, just just talking and 489 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: joining the moment. And it makes you reflect on the 490 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: sacrifices that you make as a as a as a 491 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: parent and or as a husband, and you understand the 492 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: sacrifices you miss in the time you miss with them, 493 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: and so you cherish those moments, man, and you understand 494 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: that sacrifices it that your your wife and your kids 495 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: make also and it's a two way street. But it's 496 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: really cool when you can come down the steps and 497 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: they come running over to you and just, oh, what 498 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: an awesome draft, you know, and so it's it's just great, 499 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: especially after COVID. Nobody's been in the building in two 500 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: years and didn't get really get to do anything. So 501 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: they're they're back in here again and they love it. 502 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: So so let's close with this. You've been part of 503 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: builds before. Is something special happening here again? It's all 504 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 1: all It always comes back to the wins and losses. 505 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: But when you saw what Solid is Aft did and 506 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: you guys, as an organization, said, we are playing young players. 507 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: I believe you let the National Football League in terms 508 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: of starts from rookies and second year players, and we're 509 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: second in snaps last year. So you saw and then 510 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: you saw those guys develop under the leadership and the 511 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: guidance and the mentorship of Solo and his staff. And 512 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: now you follow this up with a very good offseason 513 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,239 Speaker 1: and you guys don't even have to say you had 514 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 1: a good offseason. Everybody in the national football he can 515 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: say that for you. The win columns have to say that, 516 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: has to say that. But but do you feel that that, hey, 517 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: something's happening here. Yeah, we we really do because we 518 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: focused on on getting younger players, guys who are hungry, guys, 519 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 1: who were driven, guys who want to develop, and we 520 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: as a group, we focus on it. From the coaching staff, 521 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: two player personnel to the player performance group downstairs. We 522 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: all acknowledge and understand that our focus and to build 523 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: a great team, you have to do it with player development, 524 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: and everybody's on page with that, and we understand there's 525 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: there's young guys and they're gonna play and they're gonna 526 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: make mistakes, but they're gonna do it fast, they're gonna 527 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: do it with a love of football. They're gonna do 528 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: it with a love and energy and excitement that you 529 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: feel in the building every day. And that's what creates 530 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: your culture, is when guys buy into being developed and 531 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 1: want to have this growth mindset and want to prove 532 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 1: who they are and improve that we're a winning club. Yeah, 533 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 1: it's clearly happening here and the quarterbacks. Zach Wilson's got 534 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: to be one of the happiest people in the building. 535 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: I think for probably from your perspective clothes right here, 536 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: is that he's got to feel good or you guys 537 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 1: have to feel good. That he doesn't have to do 538 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: it all on his own. You set this up with 539 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 1: the pieces around him that, yes, there there will be 540 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: expectations that he's going to take a leap in year two, 541 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: but he can take a leap in year two by 542 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: just playing within the system. Yeah. I think Robert said 543 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 1: it best when he told Zach, and you know I'm 544 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: paraphrasing here when he told Zack when we drafted him 545 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: last year, Hey, you don't have to worry about raising 546 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: up this organization. We're gonna raise you up and we're 547 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna build players around you. We're gonna build protection, 548 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna add playmakers, and we're gonna help you become 549 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: the best player you can be. And we've done it 550 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: through this offseason. So we're really looking forward to to 551 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: Zach taking the next step in year two. And you 552 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: can already see it in his physical development, the effort 553 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: and the work he put into his body in the 554 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: off season, the time he went and spent with the 555 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,959 Speaker 1: skill guys throughout the country and getting guys together, and 556 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,479 Speaker 1: it's it's showing right now on the field and hopefully 557 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: shows throughout O t a S training camp and this 558 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: upcoming season.
