Speaking of adventures, what is it 20 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: like for you as far as your draft preparation because 21 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: the one thing that really always stands out to me 22 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: is that you love to watch guys in person. Tape 23 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: is very important, but you like getting on the road 24 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: and watching guys do it in front of you. Yeah, 25 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: my draft prep starts doing the fall EA. And I'm 26 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: blessed to call college football, so I actually get a 27 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: leg up on a lot of these things compared to 28 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: other guys breaking down the draft because I actually get 29 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: to see a lot of these guys up close and personal. 30 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: So being able to call college games, I get to 31 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: see up close and personal where it's you know, pre game, 32 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: down on the field or calling the game live. You 33 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: get to see, you know, some physical presence of guys. 34 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: You know, we were talking about this earlier, Darnell right right. 35 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: You see the physicality on hey, But it's totally different 36 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: when I went to the Senior Bowl and I got 37 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,639 Speaker 1: to see it at field level. Being on the field 38 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: and seeing this guy dominate guys left and right. It's 39 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: a whole different field when you get to see it 40 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: up close and personal. I'm glad you mentioned Darnel right 41 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: last year we were both in mobile. Robert Sala, of 42 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: course and his staff were coaching up those guys, as 43 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: were the Detroit Lions. Both those teams, I would argue 44 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: two of the NFL's biggest surprises. The Jets would have 45 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: been in the playoffs last season had they not fallen 46 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: apart down the stretch, largely due to injury. And Detroit 47 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: really made a number of great strides. But last year 48 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: you came out of Mobile. I'll never forget this talking 49 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: up Jermaine Johnson, and now you're talking up a guy 50 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: on the other side of the line of scrimmage and 51 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: Darnel right, Yeah, definitely, Jermaine Johnson was my favorite player 52 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: in Mobile. A matter of fact, he dominated so well 53 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: the first two days. Decided to leave because I think 54 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: that could have helped. That happened with him hurt his 55 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: draft stock after that. Darnell Wright technically could have did 56 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: the same thing this year. EA, But that shows what 57 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: type of competitor is not the Jermaine isn't. Right. You 58 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: gotta make smart business decisions. If you feel like you're 59 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: at the pinnacle of where you could be draft at 60 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: his wise, why put yourself in harm's away? And Jamaine 61 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: Johnson was smart and he left Mobile. Darnell Wright, right, 62 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: I think coming into Mobile, a lot of people saw 63 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: him maybe as a second third round pick. I think 64 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: after Mobile and then going back and rewatching the tape 65 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: and getting some affirmations, I would not be surprised this 66 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: guy's a top fifteen pick in this draft. Honestly, some 67 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: talent evaluators and guys I've talked to have him as 68 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: a number one tackle, you know, in this draft class. 69 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: And you can see why. Right the physicality that he 70 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: brings now he struggled the year before playing at left tackle. 71 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: I think he's more naturally built for the right side. 72 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: He's more dominant on that right side. And then if 73 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: you turn on the film right versus Trey Von Walker, 74 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: you know, two years ago and then this past year 75 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: verst Will Anderson, who people cansider the best prospect in 76 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: his draft class, he put them in the blender EA, 77 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: like it was almost like they weren't even at the game. 78 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: That's how dominant this guy is. Like, if you put 79 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: your best rusher on his side, he can make them disappear. 80 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: And that's essentially what he did for the Tennessee Balls, 81 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: and then again at the Senior Bowl, where you know 82 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: you get some of the best players in the nation 83 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: dominated there too, had some really good battles with Will 84 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: McDonald from Iowa State, who a lot of people consider 85 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: to be a probably a better pro prospect than College, 86 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: had a lot of production two years ago in the 87 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: year before that. They kind of switched their scheme up 88 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: this year in Iowa State and kind of had him 89 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: reduced head up on the tackle. That's not what he's 90 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: gonna be doing in the NFL. It's gonna be coming 91 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: off the edge of Russian They had a lot of 92 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: good battles Ea, and I think both of those guys 93 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: that ultimately probably end up in the first round if 94 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: the Jet stew indeed keep that thirteenth overall selection, which 95 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: we believe they will. Many pundits think that ultimately it's 96 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: gonna come down to the best tackle available. Is that 97 00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: the way you view it right now, And also connected 98 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: the Jets current landscape at the position he's Dwayne Brown 99 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: basically toughted out all year. He could have took a 100 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: payjack and he was playing on one arm. Unbelievable season 101 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: from my vanished point. McKay Beckton, he's been on social 102 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: media showing people the work that he's put into Shredded 103 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: body throughout throughout the off season, and then the Jets 104 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: were really happy about where Max Mitchell was at because 105 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: when they drafted him in the forced rown last year, 106 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: they were talking about, hey, this is more of a 107 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: developmental player. He was forced in the starting lineup and 108 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: they liked the play they got out of him. So 109 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: can you talk about these tackles in the draft and 110 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: also where the Jets are at the position? Yeah, before 111 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: we get into that ear, I would like to go 112 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: ahead and give Joe d some love because I know 113 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: he was kind of under scrutiny right because of what 114 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: happened at the tackle position. But if you're a GM, 115 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: what more can you do? Right? You literally brought into 116 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: Wayne Brown, right, who was a parent of a pro 117 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: bowler because McKay Beckton got her. George Fant was a 118 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,799 Speaker 1: guy I played at a high level of the year before, 119 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: and you drafted Max Mitchell. So you had four guys 120 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: for two spots and all four got hurt. So what 121 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: can you do in that scenario? If you're Joe Douglass, 122 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: So you want to give him a shout out because 123 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: we know that Joe Douglass likes to build his teams 124 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: from the trenches back right, and he tried to do 125 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: his best to make sure he had enough players for 126 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: those two spots, but all four got hurt. And then 127 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: a guy that they took in the first round the 128 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: year before that, Elijah Vera Tucker, who I think it'd 129 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: be a perennial All Pro at guard. He moved out 130 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: to left tackle and look really well, and then he 131 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: got hurt. So it's like, what do you do? So 132 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: if you're looking at this draft, right, I think they 133 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: are gonna go off of to Tagle. We don't know 134 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: what d Wayne Brown is gonna ultimately do. Is he 135 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: gonna come back and play another year? I think I know. 136 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: Last time, you know, I talked to Robert Salad and 137 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: the last time Robert solid at the press conference, he 138 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: says they're working through that right now, right mcay Beckton, 139 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: to your point, EA looks really good, but the injury 140 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: history is there, right, he hasn't been available. Max Mitchell 141 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: looked really good and then he ended up getting hurt 142 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: and had to sit out for the rest of the 143 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: year due to some untimely circumstances when it came to health, right, 144 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: So it was tough for that kid. It suck for 145 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: him because he's playing really well too for a fourth 146 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: rown pick to be thrust into the starting lineup, But 147 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: I don't think that was the plan coming into the season. 148 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: So now you look at it like this, does Dwayne 149 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: Brown come back? If? Yes, all right, we got some debt, right, 150 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: McKay Beckton's there, Max Mitchell. We have three guys hopefully 151 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: that can stay healthy and play. I think you still 152 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: got to add an offensive tackle for the future, right 153 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: because the Wayne Brown's on his last year. You gotta 154 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: figure out what you're gonna do with McCay Beckton in 155 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: the fifth year option. You're probably not gonna pick it up. 156 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: So essentially he could be free after this year as well. 157 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: So you talk about not having any depth at the 158 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: offensive tackle position, being right back where you were last year. 159 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: So as you break it down, Paris Johnson, to me, 160 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: the offensive tackle from Ohio State is the best pure 161 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: left tackle on this draft. Now, he does have flexibility 162 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: because he played guard all last year and before that 163 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: before moving to left tackle, but as far as just 164 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: pure left tackle, I think he's the best in his draft. 165 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: Peter Scronsky, I don't think he's a left tackle in 166 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: the League, even though he played that at Northwestern. I 167 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: think he's better student to play right tackle. People talked 168 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: about his arm length. I think it'd be a really 169 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: good guard as well too. But I think if you 170 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: really play at right tackle and be good, and then 171 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: if you need him to move into guard, I think 172 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: they won't be any fall off if he does move 173 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: into guard. A lot of people have already penciled him 174 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: in at guard at the next level because of the 175 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: arm length and that being a concern right and if 176 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: you look at some of the people that have given 177 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: them issues before, some longer length, you know, defensive ents 178 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: if he struggled with so I mean maybe that's the 179 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: issue when you come when it comes to arm length 180 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: and Peter Scronsky Roderick Jones to me, EA has the 181 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: highest ceiling out of everybody. I mean the athletic ability 182 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: that he has. A lot of people have penciled him 183 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: in at thirteen to the Jets, which makes a lot 184 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: of sense because he does have the flexibility to play 185 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: left or right tackle. So say Dwayne Brown does come back, 186 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: you could play him at the right tackle. I think 187 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: he maybe can even play some guard too, But I 188 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: think he's a guy that you know coming out has 189 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: a higher ceiling than Andrew Thomas. And we saw Andrew 190 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: Thomas take a big leap this last year and he's 191 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: a really good tackle. But I think Roderick Jones could 192 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: be even better. Let's not forget he's young, EA kids, 193 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: twenty one years old, he has a lot of room 194 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: to grow, so I think he could be. He could be. 195 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: As far as having the highest setling out of the 196 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: all four, I think it's him. And then talking about 197 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: the most physically dominant tackle, it's without a doubt Darnell 198 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: right right, I mean struggled last year at left tackle, 199 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: moved the right tackle and was all a world this year. 200 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: We talked about it. Some of the guys he's face, 201 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: Will Anderson made him disappear on film, and a lot 202 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: of people have Will Anderson as a number one prospect 203 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: in this draft. Right, you talk about Trayvon Walker who 204 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: went number one overall last year, ate his lunch too, 205 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: So like, this is a guy that can be physically 206 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 1: dominant and then he's gonna make your run game leap 207 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: from day one. So if you're looking for somebody to 208 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: come in and jump start your run game, look no 209 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: further than Darnelle, right. I think Douglas continues to be 210 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: crafty and free agency, most recently with the signing of 211 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: Quentin Jefferson and a guy who played well in Seattle 212 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: last season, I believe a career high in sacks five 213 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: and a half sacks. So you'll add him to the 214 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: rotation because defensive tackle certainly a need after Sheldon Rankin's 215 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 1: departs in free agency too, got a nice deal with 216 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: Damiko Ryan's in Houston. As they try to rebuild that thing, 217 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: they kick get strained, Nathan Shepherd now in New Orleans, 218 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: Solomon Thomas back, but so they add Jefferson. But the 219 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 1: reason why I bring him up is do you think 220 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: the Jets, possibly on the other side of the ball, 221 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: could add a center before the draft so that they 222 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: don't have to go into the draft with that immediate need. Yeah, 223 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: I think so. They've been linked with Ben Jones right now. 224 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: They think about Ben Jones. He's tough, right, he ate 225 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: toughest nails glass eater, but he's been banged up and 226 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: he's older, right, So that's a concern when you look 227 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: at it from that standpoint, because the Jets had so 228 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: many injuries last year on the office line. If you 229 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: bring in the Aaron Rodgers, who's an older quarterback, I 230 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: mean it's passer rating when he's had a clean pocket 231 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: his night and day from and he hasn't had a 232 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: clean pocket. So like you want to make sure you 233 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: have some continuity on offensive line, you want to make 234 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: sure that you can line up all five pieces for 235 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: the majority of the season. And Ben Jones has had 236 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: some issues. So I think whether they bring Brent Jones 237 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: in or not, EA, I would not be surprised if 238 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: they sell address center in this draft. I don't know 239 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: what round it would be, maybe four, second round. We'll see. 240 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: Right now, they got those two twos, I don't know 241 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: what they'll do. Who knows how things shake out, Say 242 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: top the top four officive tackles are off the board 243 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: at thirteen to the Jets trade back and get some 244 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: more draft capital, right, that could be an option as well. 245 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: So I could see them addressing that, you know, center, 246 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,719 Speaker 1: because I think that's more of a need right now, 247 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: especially with the signing of Quintin Jefferson than defensive tackle. Now, 248 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 1: I don't get it twisted, right, with the way this 249 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: defensive line rotates, you definitely need another defensive tackle to 250 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: put in there with Quinnon Williams, right, because Quintin Jefferson, 251 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: for all intents of purposes, is more of a pass 252 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: rush guy on third down. He's a guy that can 253 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: give you some five technique reps. But I mean the 254 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: Jets are deep at defensive end. They don't need enough 255 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: the guy that can line up outside and you know, 256 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: play on the rundowns. Jefferson can play in at the 257 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: three technique on rundowns, but he's more of a pass 258 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: rushing three techniques. So I think they need another guy 259 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: that could be stout inside with Quinny Williams, but also 260 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: has the ability to get up the field and recab it. 261 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: It depends on what they do in the second round. Right. 262 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: Keano Betton as a guy I really liked from Wisconsin 263 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: out of Tama while out of Bare from Northwestern's another 264 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 1: guy that if he fostered the second round, makes a 265 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: lot of sense because they fit the philosophy that Robert 266 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: Salo likes. Right foot speed and strain. Both of those 267 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: guys constantly try to get to the quarterback and there's 268 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: no quitting them. What do you make of the receiver position? 269 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: I know I'm jumping around a little bit, but you 270 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: know that's the revamped room. You still have the headliner. 271 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: You know, that's Garrett Wilson. That's your number one. He 272 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: was always gonna be your number one. We knew that. 273 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: But the Jets go out in free agency they signed 274 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: Allen Lazard. Of course, he's got the familiarity with Nathaniel Hackett, 275 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: He's got the familiarity with Aaron Rodgers. If a trade 276 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: does indeed happen, then at the slot position, Elijah Moore 277 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: in a third round pick, goes to Cleveland and exchange 278 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: for a second round pick, and then the Jets bring 279 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: in a versatile burner and McCole Hardman Jr. Of course, 280 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: Bracton Burial signs with the Miami Dolphins. Yeah, so I 281 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: think the jetson will be looking to add one more receiver. 282 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: We don't know what round it will be in. There's 283 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: actually pretty good depth and this receiver, you know class. 284 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: I think Jaden Reid is a guy that if he's 285 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: there in the fourth round, makes a lot of sense 286 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: from Michigan State for the Jets. And then we talked 287 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: about it, right ea, say all four of the top 288 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: official tagles are gone, Does Jackson Smith and Jigbua become 289 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: a name at thirteen? Nova Texas pick at twelve. So 290 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if they, you know, would let him go, 291 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: especially if they get Bryce Young at number two. I 292 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: think it just makes too much sense for them not 293 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: to take him. I don't know if you take Quentin Johnson. 294 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: That's why you kind of signed Alan Lazard. Same type 295 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,839 Speaker 1: of body type, same type of molde. They don't have 296 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 1: a you know, unique route tree. But there are guys 297 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: that can go up and get the fifty fifty jump balls, 298 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: those those drag routes coming across the middle. They're both 299 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: good at that. So I don't think you go Quentin Johnson. 300 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: Maybe Jordan Addison is a name that you look at right. 301 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: He's got some position back flexibility where he could play 302 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 1: in the slot as well, So that's the guy that 303 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: could potentially look at. I just think if Jackson Smith 304 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: and Jigbud has gone, the top four tackles are gone. 305 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if Joe Douglas traded back, 306 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: But receiver could be a pick they take in the 307 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: first round only if all four officsive tackles are gone. 308 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: But it's also because I talk about it's pretty good 309 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: depth at this receivering class. I could see him wait 310 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: until the fourth rounds go get a receiver. A trade 311 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: back would be interesting, no doubt about that. What did 312 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: you think about the Jets interest in Nodell Backham and 313 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: the money he got from the Baltimore Ravens and Joe 314 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: Douglas continues to stick to his plan And I think 315 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: that's another example of it, isn't it? Oh one hundred 316 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: percent and shout out to Odell? I couldn't be more ecstatic. 317 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: And I knew that Jets were never gonna pay that much, 318 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: right because he essentially got fifteen million guarantee with a 319 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: chance to make eighteen mill, Like that's literally like top 320 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: number one receiver money in the league. And he didn't 321 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: play all last year. Hea he's coming off in ACL 322 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: and I think he turns thirty one this year. And 323 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: I love O'Dell, but father time is undefeated. Right, Teams 324 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: at a GM tell me once, we'd rather pay a guy, 325 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: you know, let a guy leave one year too earlier 326 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: than one year too late. Right, that's the philosophy for 327 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: steel or philosophy. Yeah, that's that's the philosophy of a 328 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: lot of these teams. So like, I'm so happy from 329 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: a player's point of view, that O'Dell got that, specially 330 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: coming off an injury. I just know Joe Douglas was 331 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: never gonna pay that. Now, I think the Jets were 332 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: willing to pay more than people thought they would. Now 333 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: I've heard around twelve million dollars, which I was surprised, right. 334 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: I thought it would be more of a nine million 335 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: dollars type deal with incentives to make it up to 336 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: like fifteen or you know, sixteen million dollars. But from 337 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: what I've heard that potentially the Jets were willing to 338 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: pay twelve million dollars with some incentives to to you know, 339 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: to bump that number up. But I don't think they 340 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: were ever going to get close to eighteen million dollars, 341 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: whether it was incentive based or not. Jets fans were 342 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,239 Speaker 1: in our final push and the clock is ticking.

Rogers he's 353 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: still a member the Green Bay Packers right now in 354 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: Arizona at the league meetings, saying that, hey, these teams 355 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: have had productive conversations. I know Jody was at an 356 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: event the other nights of where a lot of fans 357 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: were at and then he was asked about to buy 358 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: boomer size. And the Packers continue to be asked about 359 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: the situation themselves. When do you see the next flashpoint. 360 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 1: We're two weeks out from the NFL Draft right now. Yeah, Ea, 361 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: it's it's getting to the point where something just needs 362 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: to get done. I think literally the day they were 363 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: looking at is either the twenty seventh or the twenty eighth. 364 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: Those are the first two days in the draft. So 365 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: you're Green Bay, like you would have to think something 366 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: has to get done before them, because you would want 367 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: draft capital to add to your roster, right to truly 368 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: evaluate Jordan Love, you would think, right, the betting man 369 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: would believe that. And from what I've heard, Ea, I 370 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: know they've had production converenation, productive conversations, but it seems 371 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: lately that both teams are kind of dug their heels 372 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: in and nobody's willing to blink. Essentially, it's the word 373 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: that comes to mind EA to me, if you're Green Bay, 374 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: and this is not even just being a homer, right, 375 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was going to retire, that means forty million 376 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: dollars is gonna be stuck on your books. Now, you 377 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: could have allocated that through multiple seasons, but at the 378 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: end of the day, you still would have had to 379 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: pay that bill. Right, the Jets were taking that bill 380 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: off your hand. Right, And if Aaron Rodgers decides to 381 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: change things up and show up when obviously he's in 382 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: programs started for Green Bay, you owe him sixty million dollars. 383 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: In the locker room where everybody thought that you guys 384 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: are moving forward with Jordan Love, you've already come out 385 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: publicly and said, you know, the only way Aaron Rodgers 386 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: is back with us, is things don't go the way 387 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: we want them to go. That was your president, Mark Murphy. 388 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: That's what he said, right. Bryan Goudakas said, Supposedly the 389 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: conversations weren't as fluid with him and Aaron Rodgers going 390 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: into the all season when he went into the dark hole. 391 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: You know, you know that he was supposed to call 392 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: us and didn't happen. Aaron Rodgers says, you know, after 393 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: coming out of the black hole, he's supposed to have 394 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 1: a conversation with him. When he came out of the 395 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: black hole, it was Jordan Love's gonna be our quarterback? 396 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: So like, what are we doing here hea end of 397 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: the day? Like I know, you know, the Jet fans 398 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: are tired of this. The Green Bay Packers fans have 399 00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: to be tired of it. They think they're getting the 400 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 1: first like Joe Douglas is not given the Green Bay 401 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: Packers the first round pick for Aaron Rodgers one. He's 402 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: a thirty eight, thirty nine year old quarterback, I believe, 403 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: And we don't know how many years he's gonna play. 404 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: Now we know he'll play the twenty three season, but 405 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: who knows what's gonna happen in twenty four So you're 406 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: right back in this position again a year from now, EA, 407 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: needing a quarterback if Aaron Rodgers doesn't play two years. 408 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, I think they 409 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: just need to come to terms whether it's a second 410 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: round pick this year, conditional third next year, depending on 411 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers if he plays, and then they can even 412 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: do it where it's per raded by stats. EA. Right 413 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: say Aaron Rodgers hits a crazy stat line he throws 414 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: for four thousand yards to Jets, go to the Divisional 415 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: AFC championship game, then it moves up to a second 416 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: round pick and get the deal done so both teams 417 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: can move forward, because right now both teams are at 418 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: the standstill because if you look at what Green Bays 419 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: done this off season, they've done anything. Ea, they're in 420 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: the standstille because of that number that Aaron Rodgers has 421 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: on the books, and the Jets have made some moves 422 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 1: right Allen's are McCole, Harman, quinnin Jefferson, but they're still 423 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: kind of had a standstill as far as what they're 424 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: gonna do in the draft because right now they have 425 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: those two second round picks that you talked about, But 426 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: a lot of people assume one of those picks are 427 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,199 Speaker 1: going to Green Bay. So I think Joe Douglas and 428 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: the staff probably have two, you know, they have two 429 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: routes they're gonna take, whether the trade gets done before 430 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: the draft or after the draft. Right now, they're probably 431 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: assuming that the trade gets done, so they're gonna probably 432 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: assuming they only got one second round pick. But as 433 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: time gets closer, they're gonna have to have a plan 434 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 1: drawn up where they're gonna have to use both of 435 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: those second round picks just in case the trade doesn't 436 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: happen before the draft. Man, that would be such an 437 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: interesting Thursday night if oh yes, it would if it 438 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,479 Speaker 1: gets through a round one no trade. But that's why 439 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: I said the twenty eighth, because you gotta think the 440 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 1: first two day to draft, the first two days, the 441 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: draft starts later in the afternoon, right, say things like 442 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: seven o'clock, right, if I'm not mistaken, So you literally 443 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: have all Thursday night throughout the draft and then Friday morning. 444 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: A lot of those drafts, you know, things happen literally 445 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: like minutes before the picked happen, and so I think 446 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: that could happen. We saw the A. J. Brown trade 447 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: happen on draft night, right, So it's like, you gotta 448 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: have your plans ready if you're Joe Douglass in the staff, 449 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: just in case things go left and the trade doesn't 450 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: happen before the draft. You got to be prepared to 451 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: use both of those second round picks where you trade 452 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: back on the second one, or you're ready to pick 453 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: two players at forty two and forty three. Jets had 454 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: they had a health down the stretch, they were a 455 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: playoff team last year, but they didn't have health, and 456 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: then we're in a playoff team when we saw it 457 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: fall apart. What are they if Rogers is wearing green 458 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: and white next season, what are they their playoff team 459 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: competing for the AFC East Crown. Right, They competed for 460 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 1: it last year for most of the season, and you 461 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: talked about the EA injuries and then you know up 462 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: and down quarterback play kind of hurt them last year 463 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: down the stretch. So if they have Aaron Rodgers in 464 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: quote unquote in a down year, Aaron Rodgers through for 465 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: almost thirty seven hundred yards EA, twenty six touchdowns and 466 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: twelve interceptions in point to your poor Randy lang are 467 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: a great statistician here, editor, feature writer, He's done everything 468 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 1: here for the Jets. He looked up Rogers numbers twenty 469 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: twenty two and compared it to every single season passer 470 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: in Jets franchise history. That would have been one of 471 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: the best in Jets franchise history. Sea, That's what I'm saying. So, 472 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: even in the down year, Aaron Rodgers would have had 473 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: the Jets in the playoffs because that would have been 474 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: statistically one of the best years of Jets quarterback has 475 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: ever had. And it's crazy they think that's a off 476 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: year for Aaron Rodgers if you look at the league 477 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: as a whole, like that's a good year for most 478 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL, but that's a subpart year for 479 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. So that lets you know the skill set 480 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers brings, even in an off or quote 481 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: unquote down year, right, him throwing for almost thirty seven 482 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: hundred yards pushed the Jets probably in you know, AFCA's 483 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: contention to win it, because let's not forget, I believe 484 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,040 Speaker 1: five games is the Jets loss, right, the defense of 485 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: up twenty points or less. So if Aaron Rodgers just 486 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: averages twenty one points. They just have five more wins 487 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 1: at twelve wins AA on the season. To put that 488 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: into the perspective, I know, obviously a lot of pressure 489 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: on any gum Joe Douglas. It's got to feel a 490 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 1: little bit different this year as opposed to last year. Yes, 491 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: the Rogers thing is the big piece out there. As 492 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 1: Woody Johnson said at the beginning of the offseason, quarterbacks 493 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: been kind of the missing link. So let's just to 494 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: assume that down the line, this trade's gonna happen. Douglas 495 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 1: last year had to hit a home run in the draft, 496 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,239 Speaker 1: and you look back at it, you might have hit 497 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: a Grand Slam. Yeah. Yeah, I think we said this 498 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: last year on the podcast and throughout other shows. To me, 499 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: it was a franchise deciding draft. Right when it came 500 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: to what Joe d did last year. You're talking about 501 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: getting Sauce Garden and Garrett Wilson with your first two picks. Right. 502 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson, for all intentsive purposes, should have been for 503 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl because he played with four different quarterbacks. EA, 504 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: we saw what Sauce Gardner did, he was All Pro 505 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: four reason right, he literally shut down everybody that was 506 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: outside to come in and lead the league and PBUs 507 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: as a rookie is something amazing. And again DJ Reid 508 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: and let's not talk about what Joe Douglas did in 509 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: the off season two right, getting guys like DJ Reid 510 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: and Tyler Conklin who had a quiet actually really good 511 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: season as well. So like that, and then getting Breece 512 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: Hall in the second round, Jermaine Johnson who was playing 513 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 1: really well before the foot injury, got him in the 514 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: first round, and then Max Mitchell and Michael Clemens in 515 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: the fourth round. Like how many times is your fourth 516 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: round picks are they called upon their first year and 517 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: they take significant snaps, but hold up right, that rarely happens. Ea. 518 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: So the due diligence of this, you know, you know, 519 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: scouting department and Joe Douglas and his staff. You have 520 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: to give him a kudos because they did a really 521 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: good job in that draft, not only in the draft 522 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: but also in free agency. All right, I don't want 523 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 1: to give everything away that you said during the Jets overtime, 524 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 1: and you can watch that CBS Saturday Night, eleven thirty. 525 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna preview the offense, the offensive side of things 526 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 1: as far as the twenty twenty three NFL Draft, and 527 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: then next week we're gonna preview the defense. But one 528 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 1: of your favorite guys overall. You talked about your infatuation 529 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: with Darnell right, how impressed you are with him. You 530 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 1: like another guy in that sec a playmaker, a running back. 531 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about b John Robinson, You in fact have 532 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 1: your eyes set on somebody else. Yeah, Jamir Gibbs. I 533 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: have him as a first round running back. And I 534 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: don't think that lightly because I'm a big on position 535 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 1: of value guys. I feel like you can get more 536 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 1: value in the second, third round with running backs. But 537 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: he's an elite talent. Right when you talk about first 538 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: and foremost, let's just go to special teams. Droute Ea, 539 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: the return ability and the kickoff return game. He's a 540 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: game changer when it comes to that. Then you're talking 541 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: about a guy that has contact balanced like Alvin Kamara, 542 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: where guys just bounce off on I mean, Dress Sanders 543 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people because of to him the number 544 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: one linebacker in this draft class. Go turn on that 545 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: Arkansas film and see how many times Drew Sanders missive 546 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 1: tackle on this guy and just bounced off from where 547 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: people thought he was tackled for loss. They say, you 548 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: know he's got five or six yards ea. So you 549 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: talk about the contact balance and then the explosiveness and speed, right, 550 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: game changer screenplays, zone plays, being able to take it 551 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: sixty seventy yards and outrun angles. That's what Jamir Gibbs 552 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: gives you. Now. Bjon Robinson gives you a lot of 553 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: that as well too, as far as catching and catching 554 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: the ball out of the backfield. He's a tough guy 555 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: to bring down, right. I just like the explosiveness of 556 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 1: Jamir Gibbs a little bit better. Interesting, this has been great. 557 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: You gotta roll. Let's end here. Top three needs for 558 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: the Jets quarterback aside top three needs, I would say 559 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: offensive tackle for sure, center and then defensive tackle in 560 00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 1: that order too. Offensive tackle, center than the exactly perfect 561 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: For those of you locally, you can check dudes out 562 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 1: Saturday Night Jets Overtime CBS eleven thirty and we're also 563 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: gonna make that available on Eurochess dot com and YouTube. 564 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: Great seeing you, my friends, you as well appreciate it.
