Speaker 1: Let's bring him in. Matt Lombardo, what's up, Mat.
Speaker 5: Well, good morning, happy pervated Father's Day. And you and
Speaker 5: I touched on this on off the air last night.
Speaker 5: We were talking about what we're gonna bring up on
Speaker 5: the show. Kudos to you and said, taking your father
Speaker 5: to the concert, I have a little bit of a
Speaker 5: connection to that region where you guys saw the show
Speaker 5: to that Nue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, dude, tell.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Probably about eight or ten years ago, my father and
Speaker 5: I went to see Bruce Springsteen in the East Street
Speaker 5: Band at Hershey Park Stadium. Decided to head over to
Speaker 5: dinner at the Hollywood Park Casino where you guys saw
Speaker 5: Brett Michaels. And you know I've been known to dabble
Speaker 5: with the ponies, So we took a stroll over to
Speaker 5: the horse track, the off betting horse track, if you will,
Speaker 5: and I decided, hey, there's a race at Santa Anita.
Speaker 5: Let me throw down a three dollars exacta just for
Speaker 5: the heck of it, just to see what happens. Three
Speaker 5: hundred and seventy five dollars. Three hundred and seventy five dollars.
Speaker 1: Richard.
Speaker 5: Dinner was paid for and we had a great time
Speaker 5: at the show in the pit, great time, and I'm
Speaker 5: glad that you and your father got to experience the
Speaker 5: concert and have a really special Father's Day weekend as
Speaker 5: well well.
Speaker 1: Thank goodness, the Lombardo luck was still hanging in the
Speaker 1: universe as we won the random meet and greet with
Speaker 1: Brett Michaels after the show, which was so Yes, the
Speaker 1: Lombardo luck was very much in the air, and appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Thank you for leaving that there. You didn't have to
Speaker 1: do that, but you chose to do that. What a guy.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: You have me on the show every week. It's the
Speaker 5: least I can do to sprinkle some of that good
Speaker 5: luck over the essence. And now I'm glad you guys
Speaker 5: had a great time. Seriously, Happy Father's Day to you.
Speaker 5: And all the dads out there. Sorry we couldn't make
Speaker 5: it on Sunday. A little bit of you know, family
Speaker 5: things to attend to. But we're back and before we
Speaker 5: know it, regular season football is going to be back
Speaker 5: here as well.
Speaker 1: Paul, that's true, and Matt, quite frankly, what it really
Speaker 1: just shows is that you're willing to call some audibles
Speaker 1: at the line of group. You're willing to change your
Speaker 1: play if it's not going to work, like a boy
Speaker 1: eight Sunday's not going to work. But gave a little bluebird,
Speaker 1: red Cobra forty seven, the forty twos, the mic over there,
Speaker 1: big boom bam. We're here on a Tuesday. So we
Speaker 1: have the magic of Matt Lombardo here which could lead
Speaker 1: to unbelievable things moving forward, and I fully expect that
Speaker 1: moving forward. Speaking of unbelievable things again, between the hashmarks,
Speaker 1: Matt Lombardo latest NFL news analysis in said from across
Speaker 1: the league, some exclusive juicy stuff is going on in there.
Speaker 1: Find out yourself. Go to the substack link down below
Speaker 1: to support all things NFL Insider Matt Lombardo and if
Speaker 1: we dive into it, part of your a couple of downs,
Speaker 1: fourth down, one of my favorites. I had some New
Speaker 1: York Jets love going on there and a variety of
Speaker 1: commentary from your sourcing around the league here, Matt Lombardo,
Speaker 1: and I was fascinated to hear it, including some observations
Speaker 1: on what we believe, what we're speculating can potentially happen
Speaker 1: here with the New York Jets during the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five season. So let's start diving in. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff to sort of unpack here with all your
Speaker 1: conversation on the New York Jets and Matt, we've talked
Speaker 1: about this before. You're pasted with the Philadelphia Eagles, and
Speaker 1: it seems like it's not just a connection you have
Speaker 1: with the Eagles, that perhaps this Jets team could have
Speaker 1: some connections to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 4: Man for sure.
Speaker 5: And you know, for the column on Monday, I decided
Speaker 5: that this was the perfect time of year to survey
Speaker 5: my contacts, reach out to the sources, the executives around
Speaker 5: the league to find out who are the teams that
Speaker 5: are going to surprise people. Who are the teams that
Speaker 5: missed the playoffs a year ago might have been seller dwellers,
Speaker 5: but because of what they've done in the offseason could
Speaker 5: surprise the upside. And Paul I had two different people
Speaker 5: mentioned in New York Jets, so decided right then, and
Speaker 5: they're okay, I have a couple of contacts within that building.
Speaker 5: You know, these people in passing mentioned the Jets that
Speaker 5: they could be a team, that they could be on
Speaker 5: the rise this year. So I reached out. I said, okay, here,
Speaker 5: here's what people are telling me. What are you feeling
Speaker 5: in that building. What are you guys believing is going
Speaker 5: to be different this time around? And we touched on
Speaker 5: this one of the first times on the show that
Speaker 5: last year the defense was built to protect leads that
Speaker 5: they didn't really have the chance to do. They wilted
Speaker 5: down the stretch. A lot of that was because of
Speaker 5: the poor play from Aaron Rodgers, the turnovers, falling behind,
Speaker 5: having to throw their way out things. But you know,
Speaker 5: there's a belief within the Jets organization that the offense
Speaker 5: is going to be improved this year. And I was told, quote,
Speaker 5: I guess we're going to wind up looking similar to
Speaker 5: what the Eagles do on offense. The offensive line and
Speaker 5: the running game set the table sprinkled in with some
Speaker 5: manageable third downs, play action shots and design quarterback runs,
Speaker 5: keep the ball and take the pressure off the defense. Finally, unquote,
Speaker 5: and it's that final way that's with me there. And
Speaker 5: you know, you think about what they did in the
Speaker 5: offseason bringing in Justin Fields. You have Garrett Wilson, You
Speaker 5: bring in a rookie tight end till you took early
Speaker 5: on in Mason Taylor. You know, I have two bookends
Speaker 5: at offensive tackle. Paul, I don't know about you. I'm
Speaker 5: not sure there's a path to climbing to the postseason
Speaker 5: this year because I think the AFC is loaded. But
Speaker 5: I can start to see the formula. I can start
Speaker 5: to see that if you believe in Justin Fields and
Speaker 5: what Justin Fields does well with his mobility backed by
Speaker 5: two really good running backs behind an improved offensive line,
Speaker 5: I could see a world where we look up in
Speaker 5: January and the Jets are hovering around five hundred or better,
Speaker 5: feeling better about themselves than they think. Okay, we have
Speaker 5: this twenty six year old quarterback, we have the system
Speaker 5: that works for him. Let's go on in and see
Speaker 5: what happens.
Speaker 1: Well, the Jets have only been over five hundred by
Speaker 1: the seasons and once over the last fourteen years, so
Speaker 1: that'd be refreshing, and why not mix things up a
Speaker 1: little bit if we could do that. There was a
Speaker 1: decade ago in twenty fifteen. But you just mentioned it
Speaker 1: there that if anything like that is going to remotely happen,
Speaker 1: it's going to come down to a variety of things.
Speaker 1: One of those things is the running backs in the backfield.
Speaker 1: Breeshall's entering the last year of his deal. We can
Speaker 1: sort of get more exploring that in a moment, but
Speaker 1: just him and Braylan Allen. The thing that I also
Speaker 1: took away from the column was the tone setting nature
Speaker 1: that some people expect to be delivered with Bristol and
Speaker 1: Brailn Allen. Brailan Awen not a lot of people may
Speaker 1: not know as well as a fourth round pick last
Speaker 1: year at Wisconsin, the youngest player NFL history, making all
Speaker 1: these records early in the season last year as a
Speaker 1: twenty year old coming in. But let me ask you
Speaker 1: about him, what more can you tell us about? There?
Speaker 1: You go, Jay Boys saying it here in the comments section.
Speaker 1: You know, keep putting respect on Agent zero as his
Speaker 1: nickname is. But let's do that as well. Braylan Allen
Speaker 1: Breeshall tone setting that seems to perhaps speak into that
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn identity he seems to be looking for.
Speaker 4: For sure.
Speaker 5: I think it's borrowing a page or even a chapter
Speaker 5: from the Detroit Lions playbook. I mean, you look at
Speaker 5: what makes them so successful. Yes, Ben Johnson helped turn
Speaker 5: Jared Goff into one of the more efficient and prolific
Speaker 5: quarterbacks in the league, but that offense was built on
Speaker 5: two dynamic running backs with David Montgomery and Jamier Gibbs.
Speaker 5: I can see the blueprint for the Jets replicating that
Speaker 5: kind of plan. I could see Breese Hall being the
Speaker 5: two down bellcal, the explosive back, the big play threat,
Speaker 5: and then you bring in this change of pace guy
Speaker 5: with Braylen Allen, and I think that he's one of
Speaker 5: the more underrated backs in the league. I think he
Speaker 5: could be a guy that pushes for six fifty seven
Speaker 5: hundred yards four or five touchdowns, carves out a legitimate
Speaker 5: niche in this offense. And there's a lot of uncertainty
Speaker 5: over Breese Hall's future in New York and what it's
Speaker 5: going to look like two in three years down the line.
Speaker 5: Braylen Allen can figure into supplanting him and eventually being
Speaker 5: the number one back in his own right. I thought
Speaker 5: there were some moments and some glimpses a year ago
Speaker 5: from Braylen Allen. If he can replicate that and expand
Speaker 5: on it behind an offensive line, then now has not
Speaker 5: one but two bookend offensive tackles, both chosen in the
Speaker 5: first round of the NFL Draft. This could be a
Speaker 5: as the executive within the building told me, a run
Speaker 5: first round and pound offense that sets up the passing game,
Speaker 5: doesn't put a lot of pressure on Justin Fields, leans
Speaker 5: into his mobility, and it just seems like there could
Speaker 5: be a different tone to what the Jets do, leaning
Speaker 5: into their personnel and what they do best versus trying
Speaker 5: to build a round owned what the quarterback wants to do,
Speaker 5: which is what they've been forced to try to do
Speaker 5: the last two years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one of the surprising things. Obviously, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of content going on right now, not from teams doing things,
Speaker 1: but from content creators creating things out in the universe.
Speaker 1: And Pro Football Focus released the quote unquote all breakout team,
Speaker 1: and for every position, they're like, hey, watch up for
Speaker 1: this quarterback or these receivers or this, or that they
Speaker 1: picked one running back in that group. It wasn't Brisaw.
Speaker 1: It was Braylan Allen, who they said would break out
Speaker 1: on the scene. And they even hinted at a little
Speaker 1: bit of what you said. Obviously, he could potentially supplant
Speaker 1: him if resol plays is here and then just simply leaves.
Speaker 1: But there was a suggestion in the PFF column that, hey, man,
Speaker 1: don't rule out Brailon Allen just supplanting Bresaw and being
Speaker 1: the guy this season with what he brings to the table,
Speaker 1: and how potentially that could work with this Tanner aank
Speaker 1: straight offense. So there is a lot of hubbub apparently
Speaker 1: this offseason for what Brailon Allen could be.
Speaker 5: Right, and again I'm not trying to lean too much
Speaker 5: on the history of Aaron Glenn in Detroit, but we
Speaker 5: saw that happen with the Lions a little bit.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 5: You have Dave Montgomery, who's supposed to be the veteran
Speaker 5: you draft Jamier Gibbs in Round one, explosive player, kind
Speaker 5: of a gadget guy, a little bit more than that
Speaker 5: as a rookie. You look up a year ago and
Speaker 5: I know Montgomery was banged up, so the door was
Speaker 5: open for Gibbs, who expand his role. But even before that,
Speaker 5: Gibbons became the guy, and sometimes you just have to
Speaker 5: ride the hot hand, especially the younger hand at that position.
Speaker 5: And you look Allen last year average three point six
Speaker 5: yards per cary, but he did have some explosive runs
Speaker 5: and he was still a guy that could force some
Speaker 5: mistackles in the open field. I happened to like him
Speaker 5: a lot. I think that Breese Hall has the chance
Speaker 5: to really do some special things behind that offensive line.
Speaker 5: But I think you're walking into a season where you
Speaker 5: have a two headed monster in the backfield with Bres
Speaker 5: Hall and Brailen Allen. And it wouldn't surprise me in
Speaker 5: the least if we look up by the second half
Speaker 5: of the year and it's Braylen Allen who's starting to
Speaker 5: not just set the pace, but chip into and chip
Speaker 5: away at Reese Hall's previous workload as he becomes the
Speaker 5: guy moving forward.
Speaker 1: NFO n sider Matt Lombardo joining us again. His direct
Speaker 1: link to a substack is down below. You heard Matt
Speaker 1: talk about writing the hot hand. Brett Michaels would say,
Speaker 1: riding the wind as one of his great songs there
Speaker 1: on the album. Yes, I work that in there. You're welcome.
Speaker 1: Speaking of all the running here, Matt, let me get
Speaker 1: into this because you know I had to google this term.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, this is a push push palooza. Perhaps
Speaker 1: that happening for the nyj You know, that's an interesting terminology.
Speaker 1: Can he dive in more? And how much more could
Speaker 1: we see of Justin fields and Toush push palooza? Because
Speaker 1: the Jets were an advocate for keeping the Toush Push
Speaker 1: in the National Football League this season.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Paul, this just goes back to those comments from
Speaker 5: the executive who also told me, quote, it all comes
Speaker 5: down to winning on first and second downs. Staying in
Speaker 5: front of the sticks make because third and long is difficult,
Speaker 5: whereas if you have third and short, it gives you
Speaker 5: the opportunity to go forward on fourth down. Unquote. And
Speaker 5: this is just me. The hamster wheels are turning. But
Speaker 5: if your goal is third and short, fourth and manageable,
Speaker 5: and you've supported the Tush push and you've voted against
Speaker 5: banning the play, and you have this quarterback who thrives
Speaker 5: in the running game, and you've invested in your offensive line.
Speaker 5: Over the course of the last two off seasons, the
Speaker 5: stars start to align a little bit to where if
Speaker 5: you're the Jets and you're facing third and three and
Speaker 5: it becomes fourth and one, why not put that play
Speaker 5: into your playbook? Why not add that element into what
Speaker 5: you do. It's no longer a forty one year old
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers. It is a twenty six year old Justin Fields,
Speaker 5: who's built for the running game, who might be a
Speaker 5: little bit more apt to withstand the physical punishment of
Speaker 5: the tush push.
Speaker 2: Play now and then.
Speaker 5: But if you're talking about relating what the Eagles do,
Speaker 5: and you've borrowed a chapter from Howie Roseman's Book of
Speaker 5: Roster Building, which is dominating both lines of scrimmage, especially
Speaker 5: the offensive line, and you have a mobile quarterback and
Speaker 5: you want to get into short yardage situations on third
Speaker 5: and fourth down, I could envision the push push or
Speaker 5: some variant of it being an element of what they
Speaker 5: do and how to keep the chains moving and keep
Speaker 5: drives moving and going strong for the Jets offense.
Speaker 1: Matt, I love our conversations where we'll of course talk Jets.
Speaker 1: This is a Jets show. Also go overall NFL another
Speaker 1: part I'd like to explore, and we could just sort
Speaker 1: of dip our toes in and see how the water
Speaker 1: feels moving forward. But you, as an NFL in center,
Speaker 1: that is one of the coolest gigs of all time.
Speaker 1: It's amazing for you to be able to build sourcing
Speaker 1: with all these different teams and you can share that
Speaker 1: information obviously here on the show. You talked about it earlier.
Speaker 1: Some of your sources, for instance in the Jets building.
Speaker 1: Can you break down for the fans how do you
Speaker 1: build sources in the NFL? How does that process work?
Speaker 1: Are you at a networking event and you're sort of,
Speaker 1: you know, sharing some whiskey, are like, hey, buddy, and
Speaker 1: there's something there. Are you both at your you know,
Speaker 1: your son or daughter soccer game, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden your rubbing UMAs, Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: What is the art of developing sourcing which ultimately helps
Speaker 1: you with all kinds of NFL insider scoop each.
Speaker 2: Yeah, magician never reveals his tricks, right, That's how I'm
Speaker 2: just kidding. I'm just kidding. So a lot of it,
Speaker 2: Paul comes from.
Speaker 5: You know, when I started my career, I was a
Speaker 5: beat writer, So I was in the Eagles building every
Speaker 5: day for three plus seasons. I then moved over it
Speaker 5: was promoted at NJ dot Com to cover the Giants.
Speaker 5: I was in that building every day for three four seasons.
Speaker 5: So you get to know people with practices your small talk.
Speaker 5: You eventually maybe ask for the email address or the
Speaker 5: phone number, and you keep in touch that way. But
Speaker 5: so much of it comes during events like the NFL
Speaker 5: Combine and the Senior Bowl, and you know you're all out.
Speaker 5: If you're in Indianapolis, there's about twenty different sports bars
Speaker 5: within a half mile radius of each other, so you're
Speaker 5: out and about every night. Maybe I might buy a
Speaker 5: Scotch for a general manager if I see him out there,
Speaker 5: and maybe we chat a little bit.
Speaker 2: Eventually grab the phone number.
Speaker 5: You know, agents, if I have a question about a
Speaker 5: player who I'm covering on my beat back in the day,
Speaker 5: you might forge a relationship about you know, building a
Speaker 5: feature story around their client. But they represent clients from
Speaker 5: people all over the league at different position groups, so
Speaker 5: you kind of bank that information away for when you're
Speaker 5: talking about a Trey Hendrickson who represents defensive ends, who
Speaker 5: can I reach out to It's just a lot of
Speaker 5: text messaging back and forth, a lot of phone tag,
Speaker 5: a lot of you know, pounding the pavement at events.
Speaker 5: You know, Hecker flying to Mobile, Alabama. Not too many
Speaker 5: people go to Mobile, Alabama in January or February, right
Speaker 5: for the senior. So you're in the airport, you see
Speaker 5: a dude walking around with a Cleveland Browns hoodie during
Speaker 5: your connection in Atlanta. Chances are he works for the
Speaker 5: Cleveland Browns. Right, So maybe you're fortunate enough to land
Speaker 5: on the plane. You're on the same plane, maybe you're
Speaker 5: sharing an aisle an ile on the plane, so you
Speaker 5: strike up small talk at the end of the flight.
Speaker 5: Any man, can I shoot you an email? Sometimes what's
Speaker 5: the best way to reach you? So you just kind
Speaker 5: of build your network that way and stay in touch
Speaker 5: the best you can. And you know, writing the column
Speaker 5: each week, it gives me an excuse and a reason
Speaker 5: to reach out to some of these people to stay
Speaker 5: top of mind. And once in a while they toss
Speaker 5: you a scoop and other times they're just great sources
Speaker 5: out of analysis and insight and extending the story to
Speaker 5: the next level.
Speaker 1: What an interesting mating dance. It goes on between the
Speaker 1: inside and then the dance over here, Uscott here working
Speaker 1: trying to get a number, trying to get an email,
Speaker 1: trying to you know, smoke signal, pigeon carrier. What the
Speaker 1: hell's going on now? Very fair?
Speaker 2: Running to Brian Dable at a cigar bar in.
Speaker 5: You know, one of those and these coaches that you
Speaker 5: meet while you're covering a specific beat, think one to
Speaker 5: coach other teams, and all of a sudden you start
Speaker 5: to kind of broaden out that way. But yes, it
Speaker 5: is an extravagant mating dance and ritual for sure.
Speaker 1: Yes, you know that is fascinating again, and we'll continue
Speaker 1: to try to dive into that over the coming time.
Speaker 1: This is something I want to get into. So I'm
Speaker 1: glad that we got a super chat shout out about
Speaker 1: this every time we get one of these. Are here
Speaker 1: from my daughters, Ryolna raw Phill youngfl Film ninety eight
Speaker 1: member for eleven months on the channel. I can't give
Speaker 1: you a match, he asks, What is Matt's take on
Speaker 1: the defense? What is your take on the New York
Speaker 1: Jets defense? You're Matt Lombardo.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think that group could have got any
Speaker 5: more fortunate than to land Aaron Glenn as the head coach.
Speaker 5: I mean, here's a guy defensive minded, comes from a
Speaker 5: hyper competitive culture which really tends to show itself on
Speaker 5: the defensive side of the ball. I'm a big fan
Speaker 5: of the front seven. I think Jermaine Johnson, if he
Speaker 5: can get fully healthy, this could be a big.
Speaker 2: Year for him.
Speaker 5: Will McDonald, I think that he was a guy on
Speaker 5: the Comma year ago and who can't be enthusiastic about
Speaker 5: Sauce Gardner and what he does on the back end.
Speaker 5: I think it's still a little bit of a work
Speaker 5: in progress. But you know, I keep going back to
Speaker 5: the quote that resonated with me last year that they
Speaker 5: were built to protect the leads. They didn't have many
Speaker 5: of those to do a year ago. They didn't They
Speaker 5: weren't in a position to play defense the way that
Speaker 5: they expected and were built to play defense. I really
Speaker 5: think if they can get to more of a complimentary
Speaker 5: style of football, where the offense is pulling more of
Speaker 5: its weight and you can let Aaron Glenn tell his
Speaker 5: guys pin your ears back and just get after the quarterback,
Speaker 5: take a few more chances, be a little bit more
Speaker 5: aggressive I think that that's where you start to establish
Speaker 5: that identity.
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of talent there.
Speaker 5: You know, Quinnon Williams one of the top players at
Speaker 5: his position. I just think that they were put in
Speaker 5: positions to fail over the past two years. That should
Speaker 5: be different this time around than moving forward with Aaron
Speaker 5: Glenn and this offensive stuff.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the question, Philiam. If you guys have
Speaker 1: super Chat questions or thinks of that nature, feel free
Speaker 1: to submit them in again. Each week, Matt Lombardo will
Speaker 1: join us for the first thirty minutes of the show
Speaker 1: and we'll be getting into a variety of topics. And
Speaker 1: if you'd like to hear more from Matt Lombardo, why
Speaker 1: the hell wouldn't you? Between the hashmarks baby, they're on
Speaker 1: your bleep and screens also a direct link in the
Speaker 1: YouTube description down below, feel free to check that out
Speaker 1: as well. And one more thing, let me make sure
Speaker 1: I put this up on the screen, the QR code
Speaker 1: baby boom scan that puppy get involved and you could
Speaker 1: do that just as easy as having that on your screen.
Speaker 1: We have a couple hundred people in the room like
Speaker 1: the video. Hit subscribe if you are watching on the YouTube,
Speaker 1: make sure you do so. One of my favorite bits
Speaker 1: Matt Lombardo is I'm a big fan of the Richison
Speaker 1: Show and rich Eys and one of it. And for
Speaker 1: good reason, of course, why wouldn't we all be on
Speaker 1: that train? And he has one of these sticks where
Speaker 1: he does top five on a variety of things, and like,
Speaker 1: here's one. So Trey Hendrickson, right, there's potential of trade
Speaker 1: or maybe he's gonna stay. We'll see what happens. But
Speaker 1: when there's a conversation about trades, which as it goes,
Speaker 1: all right, let me give you my top five teams
Speaker 1: that should trade for Trey Hendrickson, I'm like, okay, fascinating.
Speaker 1: Let's see what it is. And he goes number five,
Speaker 1: your team, number four, your team, number three, your team,
Speaker 1: number two, your team and number one. Guess what your
Speaker 1: team saying that you know, like Trey Hendrickson will use
Speaker 1: him as the example, you know who should be interested.
Speaker 1: All thirty two teams, including the Bengals, should be interested
Speaker 1: in trying to keep this guys. So I turned that
Speaker 1: over to you, Matt Lombardo, because Trey Hendrickson, you know,
Speaker 1: a little bit of your mail bag action trying to
Speaker 1: figure out who would be the right fit. Maybe everyone
Speaker 1: could be the right fit for sure.
Speaker 5: I hadn executive tell me that if Trey Hendrickson becomes
Speaker 5: available now, obviously ESPN has reported this weekend that the
Speaker 5: Bengals and Hendrickson of Zoom talks towards a long term extension,
Speaker 5: And obviously that's.
Speaker 2: Probably the preferred path for that team.
Speaker 5: You draft Shamar Stewart in the first round, you finally
Speaker 5: after Mini Camp, get his contract locked down. You get
Speaker 5: the language right on that deal. So Cincinnati's hope is
Speaker 5: to keep Trey Hendrickson. You would think to pair those
Speaker 5: two pass rushers together in that division in the AFC,
Speaker 5: that's going to be a gong bit. But if this
Speaker 5: breaks down again and if it comes to pass, as
Speaker 5: an agent told me about a month ago that if
Speaker 5: he were representing Trey Hendrickson, he would have him sit
Speaker 5: out until week eleven or as long as it takes
Speaker 5: until the Bengals decide to come to the table and
Speaker 5: meet their demands. If it gets that ugly and teams
Speaker 5: start knocking and teams start calling, this executive believes thirty
Speaker 5: one team should be on the phone. And I had
Speaker 5: a scout, tell me, Paul, there's probably three really good fits.
Speaker 5: A good fit would be the Los Angeles Chargers with
Speaker 5: Jim Harbaugh. A good fit would be the Los Angeles
Speaker 5: with a budding defense of homegrown talent. They loaded up
Speaker 5: on offense, they bring in DeVante Adams, Matthew Stafford is
Speaker 5: still there. They were a play away from the NFC
Speaker 5: Championship game last year with a big drive down the
Speaker 5: field against Philadelphia. And maybe the best fit of all
Speaker 5: the Arizona Cardinals. And you look at the Cardinals, you
Speaker 5: and I have touched on this. I think that Arizona
Speaker 5: is a team on the rise. If you drop Trey
Speaker 5: Hendrickson into that defense after going out and bringing in
Speaker 5: Josh Sweat is one pass rusher, bringing in Walter Nolan
Speaker 5: in the first round of the NFL Draft as an
Speaker 5: interior pass rusher. Adding Will Johnson with tremendous value at
Speaker 5: cornback in the second round after he slid you start
Speaker 5: talking about Trey Hendrickson on that defense, the power structure
Speaker 5: starts to shift a little bit in the NFC West.
Speaker 5: With a defense that has that much talent and a
Speaker 5: game changer like Trey Hendrickson, Hypothetically in that front seven,
Speaker 5: they can start to dictate to teams like the San
Speaker 5: Francisco forty nine Ers, who I think are starting to
Speaker 5: have some real durability concerns with Christian McCaffrey, with a
Speaker 5: team like the Seattle Seahawks that are in a little
Speaker 5: bit of a rebuild, reloading, retooling phase with Sam Darnold
Speaker 5: but trading away DK metcalf And of course the Rams
Speaker 5: are still going to be a team that's probably the
Speaker 5: team to beat right now in that division. But if
Speaker 5: you want to talk about fits, it's a team that
Speaker 5: plays a four to three defense. It's a team that
Speaker 5: has a need pass rusher. It's a team that believes
Speaker 5: they are a player away from going over the top
Speaker 5: with a difference maker like Trey Hendrickson. And I think
Speaker 5: the scout is absolutely right. I mean I could see
Speaker 5: the Rams, I could see the Chargers, I could see
Speaker 5: the Cardinals. I could see Detroit kicking the tires. But
Speaker 5: they have real cap issues going into next year. They
Speaker 5: have the cap space this year, they have the worst
Speaker 5: cap situation in the league in twenty twenty six, so
Speaker 5: that could be a little bit of a hurdle to
Speaker 5: getting that long term extension done. Maybe that's why they
Speaker 5: didn't go gangbusters in free agency at the top of
Speaker 5: the pass rush market. But Detroit would be a fit. Heck,
Speaker 5: the Jets should probably get involved and put him. Put
Speaker 5: Trayn into the mix there in that front seven that's
Speaker 5: kind of on the come as well. But Trey Hunderson's
Speaker 5: a game changing talent and I think he would have
Speaker 5: a pretty robust market from people that I spoke.
Speaker 1: To, all right, questions coming in. Everyone is fascinator with
Speaker 1: your toush push balluta. So we have a super chat
Speaker 1: here from Asus bade As Spade. We appreciate it every
Speaker 1: time we get a super chest. He asked you, Matt,
Speaker 1: does Justin Fields have the leg strength for the juge bush,
Speaker 1: because obviously that's a big calling card for one Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts and his phenomenal strength that he has in his
Speaker 1: lower body. Does Justin Fields have the prerequisite tools to
Speaker 1: be able to pull off the touche bush successfully?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I don't know if he in his spare time squat
Speaker 5: six hundred pounds like Sae Kwon Barkley and Jalen Hurts too.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure if that's part of the training regiment.
Speaker 5: But he's two hundred and seventy one pounds, So you
Speaker 5: think that he's going to be in that mix, to
Speaker 5: be in the mix to have that sort of two
Speaker 5: hundred and twenty seve pound Sorry, my brain like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, yeah, that's breaking news. He's put on a wow.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: No, Justin Field the two hundred and twenty seven pounds.
Speaker 5: I don't know that he squats six hundred pounds like
Speaker 5: Jalen Hurts, but I think he has the requisite size
Speaker 5: and frame to be able to orchestrate the play, especially
Speaker 5: if when you start to think about this, I don't
Speaker 5: know necessarily how much the push element makes that much
Speaker 5: of a difference. I think it comes down to the
Speaker 5: leverage of the center and the offensive line. I think
Speaker 5: it's an expanded quarterback sneak more than anything else. And
Speaker 5: if you can practice the technique, if you can get
Speaker 5: the center and the guards working in unison on how
Speaker 5: they technically, you know, create the leverage against the defensive
Speaker 5: lineman in that situation, the push kind of puts you
Speaker 5: over the top, like It's world where they can execute
Speaker 5: that pretty well. But it all comes down to I'm
Speaker 5: not in the weight room with Justin Fields. I don't
Speaker 5: know how much propaganda video we get out of the
Speaker 5: Jets and that working out, but I think that at
Speaker 5: two hundred and twenty seven, I think that he has
Speaker 5: the frame to at least make this an experiment worth trying.
Speaker 5: If your mentality is continuing to get into third and
Speaker 5: fourth and short situations.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you for the question. I answer to speed Matt.
Speaker 1: Let's end here. Okay, let's end here. Let's talk some
Speaker 1: Jets giants here. But first we'll start off with Giants.
Speaker 1: Who had a very interesting quote from an exec in
Speaker 1: your column. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I was kind of floored by this one as well.
Speaker 5: The Jets being mentioned twice were kind of surprising. But
Speaker 5: I an executive tell me quote, I'd watch out for
Speaker 5: the Giants because of their additions at quarterback, upgrades along
Speaker 5: the offensive line, and besides, they can't really be worse
Speaker 5: than they were last year unquote. Now, I agree with
Speaker 5: the I agree with the ending, right. I agree that
Speaker 5: it doesn't get much worse for the New York Giants
Speaker 5: than it did a year ago. But this quarterback situation, right,
Speaker 5: it's a tightrope that Brian gonna have to walk because
Speaker 5: on one hand, you have a dual mandate. Right, you
Speaker 5: have a mandate from ownership to win as many games
Speaker 5: as necessary to show that you've made progress to save
Speaker 5: your own job in Joe Shane's job going into next year.
Speaker 5: But on the other hand, you trade up to draft
Speaker 5: Jackson Dort at number twenty five overall, when you can
Speaker 5: talk about red shirt years and holding a clipboard and
Speaker 5: learning behind the scenes. I don't know how much that
Speaker 5: jobs in the modern day NFL. When we watch Jaden
Speaker 5: Daniels lead his team to the NFC Championship game a
Speaker 5: year ago, when we watch Bo Knicks lead his team
Speaker 5: to the playoffs a year ago, When Drake May gets
Speaker 5: meaningful snaps over the second half of a season a
Speaker 5: year ago, takes a lot of MPs behind the horrible
Speaker 5: offensive line, but you not only evaluate what he does
Speaker 5: well and evaluate what you need to improve around him
Speaker 5: to take the next step.
Speaker 2: But he gets those.
Speaker 5: First steps, first plays, first games out of his system.
Speaker 2: So you're hitting the ground running in twenty twenty five
Speaker 2: if you're the Giants. I believe there's.
Speaker 5: Value in playing Jackson Dart at some point, and that's
Speaker 5: where I think that signing Russell Wilson, while it satisfies
Speaker 5: potentially mandate number one of winning games. It could come
Speaker 5: at the expense of developing your quarterback, and I thought
Speaker 5: that it was a little bit of quarterback overload bringing
Speaker 5: in both Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson. So I'll put
Speaker 5: it to you, two situations, two different offseasons, two different philosophies,
Speaker 5: two different visions. Which New York team do you see
Speaker 5: with more upside? Because I have my feeling here, but
Speaker 5: I'd love to hear what you think as far as
Speaker 5: the Giants Jets debate going into twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, We'll start with the Giants here for a second,
Speaker 1: and I will say despite their superstar first round pick
Speaker 1: app Deul Carter being unable to convince any legend to
Speaker 1: give him a jersey number and he had to go
Speaker 1: with the eighth option, just like the New York Knicks
Speaker 1: with their next head coach, that's neither here nor there.
Speaker 1: Suppose I would say that the Giants defense looks awesome.
Speaker 1: You have Sexy Dexi, you have Abdell Carter, you got
Speaker 1: Brian Burns, my boy Kevon Timbadeau. I loved KT coming
Speaker 1: out of the draft, Like there is such unbelievable talent.
Speaker 1: And as long as they keep everybody, I think they
Speaker 1: can run some insane NASCAR packages and get after people agree.
Speaker 1: Where my concerns lie is on the offensive side of
Speaker 1: the ball. I think Bill Parcells is the one who
Speaker 1: said it, if you have more than one quarterback, you
Speaker 1: don't have a quarterback. You know, as far as I know,
Speaker 1: the the you know, technology of combining human beings together
Speaker 1: into a singular entity has not existed yet. So famous
Speaker 1: jamis eaton, W's Russell dangerous, Wilson missed it unlimited, and
Speaker 1: then you have Jackson Dart. They just have a lot
Speaker 1: of weirdness happening there at the quarterback position. And the
Speaker 1: offensive line scares the Bejesus out of me. And if
Speaker 1: you don't have an offensive line, quite frankly, doesn't matter
Speaker 1: where else anything else goes. And there's some injury concerns.
Speaker 1: That's positions on that offensive line to the New York Giants.
Speaker 1: So I love there's nothing more inspirational from that executive
Speaker 1: that you spoke with, that had all these wonderful things
Speaker 1: to saying at the end says, you know, come on,
Speaker 1: they can't be any worse. They like you right. Hell,
Speaker 1: giants can often say, oh, by Beard, we'll find out altogether.
Speaker 1: So for me in terms of relevancy, who can push
Speaker 1: it to me? The thing that makes me feel even
Speaker 1: more compelled that I believe ultimately that will be the Jets,
Speaker 1: because I don't think again. It sort of goes to
Speaker 1: what you said initially about Brian Dables, very dueling philosophies
Speaker 1: on a coach should not have doing Fosters. He should
Speaker 1: have one philosophy it's this, but unfortunately his toush is
Speaker 1: on the line, so he has to do something to
Speaker 1: win games. But also he wants to show the allure
Speaker 1: to your point that hey, look, we haven't used the
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart lottery ticket full yet to just show a
Speaker 1: peak of it at some point at the end of
Speaker 1: the season, so the front office is intrigued, say well,
Speaker 1: we got to keep them so they can see this
Speaker 1: thing through. I don't think Jackson Dart is gonna get
Speaker 1: anywhere in there, barring some catastrophic injury earlier in the season,
Speaker 1: but I think they will show a peak real quick
Speaker 1: of look at what this looks like, and then hopefully
Speaker 1: that can buy them time heading into twenty twenty six,
Speaker 1: all back. So they're going to try to win games
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson and Jamis Winston, and I think that
Speaker 1: will lead, unfortunately to some port result. So I am
Speaker 1: leaning yj based on offensive line playing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm with you, and that's exactly why you have
Speaker 5: the two bookend tackles. You continue to invest along the
Speaker 5: offensive line, and there's a clear philosophy and vision with
Speaker 5: the Jets, right, and Justin Fields this might be an
Speaker 5: evaluation and an audition year, but he's not looking over
Speaker 5: his shoulder. There's no Jackson Dart in that room that
Speaker 5: you invested a top twenty five pick in that you're
Speaker 5: trying to fend off. This is Justin Field's playing golf, right.
Speaker 5: This is Justin Field's playing against himself, playing against the
Speaker 5: course to audition for that long term con tracked next
Speaker 5: year and that commitment from the Jets moving forward. You
Speaker 5: have the running game that you've built up with the
Speaker 5: two backs that we talked about. You've talked about the
Speaker 5: defense and how they might be improved and why, and
Speaker 5: some of the additions they've made there, the philosophical changes
Speaker 5: with Aaron Glenn coming in. But I looked at the
Speaker 5: Giants and I had multiple people tell me throughout the
Speaker 5: offseason that the Giants were going to quote unquote build
Speaker 5: a veteran team capable of winning enough games to save
Speaker 5: Brian Dables job. And you saw that with what they
Speaker 5: did over the offseason, right. I mean, I love what
Speaker 5: they did with Abdul Carter. I love the NASCAR package.
Speaker 5: I think that pass rush has danced to be top five,
Speaker 5: top ten in the league just because of the personnel.
Speaker 5: But bring in Paulson Adebo, who's really good at breaking
Speaker 5: up passes, but a major injury concern.
Speaker 2: You bring in.
Speaker 5: Javon Holland, who should be give you some leadership at
Speaker 5: the safety position, a group that you're trying to fix
Speaker 5: after letting Xavier McKinney, a home Droune talent, walk out
Speaker 5: of the building. But you're dropping veterans into these key spots,
Speaker 5: whereas the Jets, this is kind of a couple of
Speaker 5: draft classes now beginning to rise to the occasion, rise
Speaker 5: into more marquee important roles. And that's where I think
Speaker 5: that that internal player development. A quarterback situation that at
Speaker 5: least for twenty twenty five, feels pretty stable. It feels
Speaker 5: like the path for the Jets who aren't butting their
Speaker 5: heads up against the Philadelphia Eagles, who have the deepest
Speaker 5: roster in football, against the Washington Commanders, who are nipping
Speaker 5: at Philadelphia's yields with a franchise quarterback arguably top five
Speaker 5: quarterback in the league. The Dallas Cowboys are going to
Speaker 5: be better. Yeah, the Jets have to deal with the
Speaker 5: Buffalo Bills, and that's a three headed monster and a
Speaker 5: behemoth and a dragon you're gonna eventually have to slay
Speaker 5: if you're going to compete. I'm not buying on the Dolphins.
Speaker 5: I think the Patriots are going to be better. I
Speaker 5: think they're going to be competitive, but they're not the Commanders,
Speaker 5: the Eagles, or the Cowboys. So it just lines up
Speaker 5: not facing the most difficult schedule in football for the
Speaker 5: Jets to have that clearer path to relevancy in competing
Speaker 5: than the Giants do going into this season.

Speaker 1: let's go to my boy take Flight Eric who all
Speaker 1: so he and his dad will be at the Jets
Speaker 1: Cup Boys tailgate coming up a week five. BG. If
Speaker 1: our line has good effectiveness, we can have a lot
Speaker 1: of success on the play action. I agree quite frankly,
Speaker 1: and I heard people making jokes that the Junts are
Speaker 1: going to be booty cheeks this year. Who knows, well,
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens there, but I would say this.
Speaker 1: I would say this that the reason I feel so
Speaker 1: confident about this Jets team in twenty twenty five is absolutely,
Speaker 1: unequivocally the offensive line. We've got youth, we've got potential,
Speaker 1: we've got star power, we got a veteran in there,
Speaker 1: and that John Simpson. You look across this unit. I
Speaker 1: have not felt this good about a Jets offensive line
Speaker 1: since twenty ten. And that's a god honest truth. Olu
Speaker 1: Fashiono I think is going to be the left tackle
Speaker 1: for a very long time. That Jets will have to
Speaker 1: make some big boy decisions at guard boy. John Simpson
Speaker 1: and a live Fair Tucker are free agents after this season.
Speaker 1: Do they resign one, they resigned both? Do they lose both?
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen? Who knows? You have Joe Chipman, who
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about. He's a unique center being that
Speaker 1: incredibly lanky and tall. He's a big dude. Obviously there's
Speaker 1: some pushing apparently that's happening from Josh Myers. I fully
Speaker 1: expect Joe Tipman to win that battle, then obviously another
Speaker 1: top fifteen pick armand gosh yarn membu baby, they're at
Speaker 1: right tackle. This unit can be really good, and if
Speaker 1: they're good, that opens up things in the running game.
Speaker 1: If they're good, that opens up thing of the passing game,
Speaker 1: specifically to your point of play action. We did not
Speaker 1: do nearly enough of that last year. And imagine if
Speaker 1: the Jets are just pounding away in the run game
Speaker 1: boo yah boo yah boo yah, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the demons like Jesus, all right, everybody, come on in,
Speaker 1: come on in, we got we gotta load up the
Speaker 1: box here. Then Justin Field's on a play action boop
Speaker 1: and then throws a deep bobski to Old g Dub
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson unlock the deep level of the passing game
Speaker 1: against something else we haven't seen a lot is taking
Speaker 1: advantage of the vertical element, getting some explosives and that
Speaker 1: can come off the run game. They are married, they
Speaker 1: come together. That's what we want to see. So take flight,
Speaker 1: o Eric, I like the cut of your jippal because
Speaker 1: that's one hundred percent of the truth unlocking that is
Speaker 1: unlocking everything else with the New York Jets. Thank you
Speaker 1: tiqu Flight Eric for that super chat. Thank you, as
Speaker 1: Tony Aleuxio says, Bookend tackles for a decade, Olu, Fashnu
Speaker 1: armand Membu. That's incredibly exciting, incredibly exciting. Yes, that group
Speaker 1: is quite nice. Lane Train too, dude. How do I
Speaker 1: feel about Aaron Rodgers on Pittsburgh fhim? Okay, if you
Speaker 1: are not on my team, you are my enemy. Now
Speaker 1: you want to root for Aaron Rodgers out there in
Speaker 1: the universe, are Aaron Rodgers Jet fans and root for
Speaker 1: him in week two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Speaker 1: I ain't rooting for him in week one. I want
Speaker 1: him to get smacked around. That's what I want. So
Speaker 1: how do I feel about it?
Speaker 2: Great?
Speaker 1: Your lunch meet for Jermaine Johnson and Will McDonald. That's
Speaker 1: how I feel, buddy, boy, that's how I feel about it.
Speaker 1: All right, let's see, I think I caught up on

Speaker 1: big D's right again, could you imagine go el Roy,
Speaker 1: go el Roy, you know, go Boy Green daily right
Speaker 1: or like, I don't even know how that song would go.
Speaker 1: It's just not as compelling. There's just no questioning about it.
Speaker 1: So well, pour one out for all the el Roy
Speaker 1: action that couldas should it would have happened. There you go,
Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, let's go to the phone lines.
Speaker 1: We got the legendary Eazd here on the program. Let's
Speaker 1: start off there.
Speaker 4: Good morning, I was everybody today?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're on the move.
Speaker 6: So yeah, So did Giovanni may the ninety one or
Speaker 6: was he just like you know, they just like gave
Speaker 6: mccurtesy try out.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know, is he actually on the
Speaker 4: ninety one roster?
Speaker 1: He is not. He is not on the ninety one Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: the ninety one man roster. But what I'm curious about,
Speaker 1: and this is a question I planned on asking him anyway,
Speaker 1: what did the Jets say when he didn't make the team,
Speaker 1: Because sometimes they say a variety of things. Sometimes they
Speaker 1: just say yeah, thanks, but like this is never happening. Basically,
Speaker 1: they're normally not that blunt. But sometimes they'll say, hey, man,
Speaker 1: be by your phone right and you get added basically
Speaker 1: to the emergency list. So if a linebacker goes down, GEO,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be one of the first ones we call.
Speaker 1: So I'm sort of curious as he walks us through,
Speaker 1: how the Jets tryout went and then at the end saying, hey,
Speaker 1: so what they say when you know it all when
Speaker 1: the conversation was over, did they say, like, stay by
Speaker 1: your phone, like it's still possible. Have you been exploring
Speaker 1: other NFL opportunities. I'll be sort of to hear where
Speaker 1: that goes.
Speaker 6: I would I would venture to guess that because his
Speaker 6: brothers are on the team and he wasn't good enough
Speaker 6: to make the team, they probably told him we appreciate
Speaker 6: you trying out.
Speaker 4: You know, we would have loved for you to work out.
Speaker 6: It would have been great, but unfortunately, you know, it's
Speaker 6: you know, this is a business, and you know we
Speaker 6: have other other people, but but we were We were
Speaker 6: more than happy to give you the tryout, and don't
Speaker 6: give up in your dream, keep going, just keep working
Speaker 6: at that work out with your brothers in the off season,
Speaker 6: and you know.
Speaker 4: You never know, you never know. Some guys could certainly
Speaker 4: be exactly.
Speaker 1: What you said. It could be exactly what you just
Speaker 1: said that they give him a chance and after the
Speaker 1: chance to like, you know what, you know, it's just
Speaker 1: not going to happen here. Good luck to prove us wrong,
Speaker 1: which I've heard on hard knocks all the time, like
Speaker 1: prove us wrong, go to some other team and kill it.
Speaker 1: But amazing because I'm sure they would have loved to
Speaker 1: make the NFL history to have three brothers on the
Speaker 1: same team. That would have been insane.
Speaker 6: Well, I think there's only like one other team that
Speaker 6: did that, wasn't it the San Francisco Giants. They have
Speaker 6: the Alu brothers, uh Felipe Alu and uh Hesuslu.
Speaker 1: That's possible, yeah, because like the JJ Watt, t J
Speaker 1: Watt and Derek Watt, they were not all on the
Speaker 1: same team at the same time. But those three brothers
Speaker 1: were all in the NFL at varying times, but they
Speaker 1: never ended up all on the same team.
Speaker 6: More likely in baseball, any good players five thirty year
Speaker 6: career in baseball, I mean, well, maybe not thirty, but
Speaker 6: you know, well I'll tell you. You know, if if
Speaker 6: I had the skills and the talent to be in
Speaker 6: any major sport as a player.
Speaker 4: Okay, it would have to be baseball. It's the least physical.
Speaker 6: It's the least physical because I mean, you make stupid listen, listen, low,
Speaker 6: you make stupid money in basketball.
Speaker 4: I mean, like absolutely stupid money.
Speaker 6: In basketball, but that sport will absolutely tear your knees
Speaker 6: to shreds playing on that hard court every night.
Speaker 1: That's true. But you know, here's the thing, right, So
Speaker 1: in NBA you play eighty two games. In baseball you
Speaker 1: play one hundred and sixty two games. In the NFL
Speaker 1: you play seventeen. Obviously, I'm not talking about playoffs. I'm
Speaker 1: just talking about regular season, but also the physicality for
Speaker 1: each of them has to be sort of factored into.
Speaker 4: So, well, have you ever played have you ever played softball?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: Not competitively like just low levels?
Speaker 4: Well in the league, I'm talking in a league.
Speaker 6: No, No, I've played competitive in the league's And there
Speaker 6: were games where I was out in like right field
Speaker 6: or something.
Speaker 4: I got maybe one hit, one hit my way, you know.
Speaker 6: So I mean, so you could basically, I mean, you
Speaker 6: could play half the season and not see hardly any action.
Speaker 4: And then when you come up to bat.
Speaker 6: Especially in baseball where you're only on base one third
Speaker 6: at the time, if you're good, yeah, you only have
Speaker 6: to worry about running and all that stuff, like one
Speaker 6: third at the time. Well, I mean, you know, what's
Speaker 6: a good batting average, three thirty three?
Speaker 1: That would be a that'd be a Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: batting average right there, that'd.
Speaker 4: Be great, right, yeah, well yeah, well very good batting average. Yeah.
Speaker 6: So, I mean most of these guys hit around two
Speaker 6: seventy to eighty. They're on the you know, they with
Speaker 6: a few walks, maybe hit by a pitch or something
Speaker 6: like that. You know, they're they're on the They're only
Speaker 6: actually on the diamond maybe forty percent at a time.
Speaker 6: And then when they're playing defense, if they're not in
Speaker 6: the infield, I think the pitcher's job is the most
Speaker 6: dangerous because he's got the most risk for arm injury
Speaker 6: and getting his face destroyed by a line drive. But
Speaker 6: other than that, I mean, most of those eyes they
Speaker 6: can have a pretty long long career and not really
Speaker 6: hurt themselves too bad. That in general, in general, I
Speaker 6: guess right, right, So, if I if I could excel
Speaker 6: at any major sport, I'd probably pick baseball because it's
Speaker 6: the last the least amount of getting your body and
Speaker 6: brain scrambled. Football is like the worst as far as
Speaker 6: being a pro athlete, with the non guaranteed contracts or
Speaker 6: partially guaranteed contracts, and the fact that professional football has
Speaker 6: a one hundred injury rate, meaning if you play professional football,
Speaker 6: you were guaranteed to have a major injury at one
Speaker 6: point or a semi major injury.
Speaker 1: That maths tracks, Yeah, that maths tracks.
Speaker 4: I mean, think about it.
Speaker 6: JJ was only kind of following up on a play
Speaker 6: when his achilles went out.
Speaker 1: Right, He was just right, he did his pass rush by,
Speaker 1: and then he was going back upfield and then boop
Speaker 1: fell right down.
Speaker 6: Yep, yeah, it was who's just trotting? I think it
Speaker 6: was actually trotting still trailing the play. I think the
Speaker 6: play went to the to the left and he was
Speaker 6: started trailing from the right hand side, and all of
Speaker 6: a sudden, he just you know, went up lame.
Speaker 4: So yeah, but uh, that guy you have had on
Speaker 4: I agree with him.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think I think, uh, the Jets are going to
Speaker 6: be surprisingly better than most people think they are. And
Speaker 6: like we've discussed many times, the coaching staff last year
Speaker 6: was overwhelmed. I think if they'd have kept Salah they
Speaker 6: would have had maybe eight wins, nine wins, but one
Speaker 6: Sola left and Ulbrick had to do everything.
Speaker 4: I think Ulbrick was just like, holy shit.
Speaker 6: I think I really think he had his holy shit
Speaker 6: moment I think that hurt Ulbrick's career too, because now
Speaker 6: people don't look a look at him as a potential,
Speaker 6: you know, NFL head coach. But that really wasn't his fault.
Speaker 6: I mean, he did didn't have the personnel decisions being
Speaker 6: being a defensive coordinator, because there were a lot of
Speaker 6: decisions that Robert Sala should have made in the offseason
Speaker 6: getting rid of some coaches who really didn't have any
Speaker 6: business continuing with the Jets because.
Speaker 4: Of their poor performances. You know. His example would be
Speaker 4: Keith Carter.
Speaker 6: And I know everybody blasts Keith Carter, but I mean
Speaker 6: the guy has been fired from many NFL teams and
Speaker 6: he's had many NFL players hate him from many different teams.
Speaker 4: So that is that was he was just not a
Speaker 4: good fit on our team. And uh and there was
Speaker 4: some other public things.
Speaker 1: Let me look, let me look where he landed. Yes,
Speaker 1: he's the he is the he is the assistant offensive
Speaker 1: line code for the Vikings.
Speaker 4: Right assistant.
Speaker 6: You cannot put that guy in power because he's he's
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, but dickheads shouldn't have power, and he's kind
Speaker 6: of a dickhead. I mean, just this, that's you know,
Speaker 6: it's not like the players hate him. They don't hate
Speaker 6: hate hate them, but he's kind of a dickhead and
Speaker 6: he's kind of got an attitude that professional football players
Speaker 6: that are making millions of dollars don't want to deal
Speaker 6: with someone with an attitude problem.
Speaker 4: They just don't want to deal with it. They don't
Speaker 4: have to. They've they've they've.
Speaker 6: Had to deal with high school coaches and doing bull
Speaker 6: in the ring and doing all those you know, those
Speaker 6: little punishment drills like doing crabs down the field.
Speaker 4: You remember doing crabs are very painful.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, running on all fours for fifty yards and
Speaker 6: then making you come back and then making you run
Speaker 6: win sprints to your vomit.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 6: That's that's in high school. That was back in the
Speaker 6: day when I went back in back in the seventies.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just like we used to hide pitches
Speaker 6: of water down behind the backstop because he'd have us
Speaker 6: run around the whole field and we would all stash
Speaker 6: like a bag of oranges and in some water because
Speaker 6: we weren't allowed to have breaks.
Speaker 4: We weren't allowed to have you know, juice or drink
Speaker 4: or anything.
Speaker 6: Back then, they thought it made you tougher, and they
Speaker 6: wondered why people used to die on the field, you know.
Speaker 1: And so you said, this was what you said, what
Speaker 1: you were playing back in the seventies.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in high school?
Speaker 1: Yeah, what were you guys graduated?
Speaker 4: No, we weren't wearing leather helmets. But I bet you
Speaker 4: wore a leather helmet on the short bus.
Speaker 1: Hey.
Speaker 4: Ooh, hey, man, you had it coming.
Speaker 1: Man, that's true.
Speaker 4: But but but seriously, no, I'm just i.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 6: One of the things I wish the NFL would do,
Speaker 6: uh would be to uh coordinate with some airlines so
Speaker 6: that people could fly up the games. That would be
Speaker 6: a nice little thing for the NFL to do. Coordinate
Speaker 6: affordable travel packages. Hey, I think it would be good
Speaker 6: for the airlines. I think if they made affordable packages, okay,
Speaker 6: for for uh, for fans to participate in either away
Speaker 6: games or to fly back home to see their beloved
Speaker 6: home teams. Like I'm in North Carolina, so you know,
Speaker 6: I can't just go to a home game anytime I want.
Speaker 6: Matter of fact, the one thing I was disappointed in
Speaker 6: this year was that the Panthers were actually playing the
Speaker 6: Jets up in New York, because that's one less game
Speaker 6: that I.
Speaker 4: Could see down here.
Speaker 6: It's like a three three and a half hour drive
Speaker 6: to Charlotte to see the see the Panthers stuff.
Speaker 4: And you make a weekend out of it, you know.
Speaker 6: You go, Yeah, you drive down on Saturday, you go
Speaker 6: to Cara Wins, which is a which is a theme park.
Speaker 6: Uh and then uh and then after that you go
Speaker 6: to the game the next day.
Speaker 4: It's fun.
Speaker 1: Sounds like a whop.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: But anyway, I think to that's gonna do okay this year.
Speaker 6: I think the defense is gonna be okay this year.
Speaker 6: I really wish that they would get Clowny though has
Speaker 6: even signed up yet.
Speaker 1: No, he remains a free agent as far as I know.
Speaker 1: I'll do a quick goog search to make sure. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think he has been picked up yet. Let's see,
Speaker 1: he remains a free agent.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he'd be a great emergency backup because
Speaker 6: as much as I like Jermaine Johnson, I do not
Speaker 6: know exactly if he's going to be ready really until
Speaker 6: week four or five at full strength.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and to have and to have Jadavian Clowney in there.
Speaker 6: Because he does run for run style. He's a good
Speaker 6: run stopper, which is one of the things that he
Speaker 6: can even help teach. I mean, he's a run stopper.
Speaker 6: He's at the age now where he's veteran leadership on
Speaker 6: showing how an edge player cannot only rush the passer
Speaker 6: but also participate in the run game.
Speaker 4: He is.
Speaker 6: He is a really good and always has been a
Speaker 6: blue chip player. I just think he never was able
Speaker 6: to fit in with the right I just don't think
Speaker 6: he ever got the right team and the right scheme
Speaker 6: for him, which I can't understand why someone wouldn't scheme
Speaker 6: for him being the talent that he is. But sometimes
Speaker 6: you know, coaches have egos and they think, go I'm
Speaker 6: gonna make them do me. I'm not gonna do them,
Speaker 6: and that's why they're not that good coaches. You got
Speaker 6: to take the talent you have, evaluate what they're good at,
Speaker 6: and put them in positions to succeed. And that's really
Speaker 6: all the coaching is is recognizing what your players have
Speaker 6: to offer and making them and putting them in a
Speaker 6: position to do the best that they can do. And
Speaker 6: that's one of the things that I think that Aaron
Speaker 6: Glenn is going to do. That's why he's very vague.
Speaker 6: That's why he's not telling anybody what he's gonna do.
Speaker 6: He's still trying to figure out what he is going
Speaker 6: to do. I know he's going to be successful at
Speaker 6: it because he always has been. I mean, look what
Speaker 6: he did last year. Oh my god, he literally made
Speaker 6: chicken salad out of chicken ship last year with all
Speaker 6: the injuries he had. I mean he's I mean, if
Speaker 6: that team would that team would have won the Super
Speaker 6: bo Bowl if they didn't have the amount of injuries
Speaker 6: they had.
Speaker 4: Let me just think about it. There were their best
Speaker 4: defensive edge rusher was out. So what's the kid's name?
Speaker 4: The you know what I'm saying, right the kher?
Speaker 1: I'm not sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the edge rusher for for Detroit that got hurt,
Speaker 4: the young kid. Yes, he was out most of the
Speaker 4: last year.
Speaker 1: Yes, So, I mean.
Speaker 6: Aaron Clint did an amazing job of who we had
Speaker 6: left and he had he and he had like a
Speaker 6: lot of injuries. Were like ten or eleven guys that
Speaker 6: were out, So he's proven he can get it done.
Speaker 6: So let's hope for the best. Anyway, next up on
Speaker 6: the list, I'll see you.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about, right, BG? No, no,
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I sort of got lost there.
Speaker 1: I give a lot of credit easy leather helmet seventies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Jets. I hope they're doing pretty good this year. Hey,
Speaker 1: by the way, there's an amusement park over here. Oh
Speaker 1: is there?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 1: All right? Nice?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I wish the Panthers would have been playing at home
Speaker 1: against the Jets this year. That would have made a
Speaker 1: lot of sense. But hey, Paul, look at this drive. Hey,
Speaker 1: look what I'm at over here. Yeah, this is what's
Speaker 1: going on. This is what's going on. Boy, whoever wins
Speaker 1: the lottery for the e ZD drive up for the
Speaker 1: Jets Cowboys tailgate, make sure you record it. I'd love
Speaker 1: to hear about it. All right, let's go back to
Speaker 1: the fellow chat here on the show. What's I bet?
Speaker 3: Hey, Paul, Hey, easy, you gotta go on a dating
Speaker 3: site and look for a rich American widow.
Speaker 1: There you go, there you go?
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, yeah, man, that'll keep you straight.
Speaker 2: You have stuff to do.
Speaker 3: I mean, you gotta be a little you know, you
Speaker 3: can't be a cave.
Speaker 1: Man, you know, that's right, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: You gotta understand they have feelings too, you know. So anyway,
Speaker 3: how's it going, Paul?
Speaker 1: Hey, not bad? Not bad? Hap, We're we're through. We're
Speaker 1: in another week and again we're getting closer and closer.
Speaker 1: Jets football. We're about a month ish away from training
Speaker 1: care returning. It's something like that a month and some change.
Speaker 1: So hey, baby, it's right around the corner.
Speaker 4: All right, that's great.
Speaker 3: I'm looking for any Do we have we signed anybody,
Speaker 3: any free agents or anything?
Speaker 1: M Well, we did, I guess we never did a
Speaker 1: show on it. I'll give a shout out to and
Speaker 1: let me make sure I have it here. Get all
Speaker 1: the names appropriately. After mini camp we did have a
Speaker 1: flurry of action. Let me make sure I see it here. Ah,
Speaker 1: here it is. Let's bring it up. So we had,
Speaker 1: you know, technically four moves, but it was just signing
Speaker 1: to you guys, releasing to you guys. We added Mark
Speaker 1: hes Hayes, an offensive lineman, and Kingsley Jonathan, who I know,
Speaker 1: and I'll get back to him in a second of
Speaker 1: pass rusher and the Jets cut bait was Zach Bailey
Speaker 1: in defensive back trace swilling, Kingsley Jonathan I covered here
Speaker 1: at Syracuse, So I don't know how all this Tudd.
Speaker 1: We're gotting this Syracuse pipeline going on, and I gave
Speaker 1: a shout out to Kingsley on social media. It's awesome
Speaker 1: to have him on the team. So he's been a
Speaker 1: special team and sort of a rotational guy. He hasn't
Speaker 1: really found his footing in the NFL. He was with
Speaker 1: the Bills for like three years, so he's a good guy.
Speaker 1: It's good for the ninety one man roster. We'll see
Speaker 1: if you can make any noise in camp. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that was really the only flurry of moves was a
Speaker 1: little bit of that roster shuffling at the end of
Speaker 1: Mini caamp and that's been it so far.
Speaker 3: Any reason why we're not getting Clowney in here? Is
Speaker 3: he asking for like a ton of money or something.
Speaker 4: What's going on with that?
Speaker 1: It's a good question. I don't know. Clowney. At the
Speaker 1: after he got cut by Carolina, he was speaking with
Speaker 1: I think it's Joe Persons is the contact down there,
Speaker 1: and he was just at I got plenty left in
Speaker 1: the tank. Someone's gonna get like the Panthers are gonna
Speaker 1: pay for making this mistaken Like someone else in the
Speaker 1: NFL is about to get like a great version of
Speaker 1: Gebion Clowney. By the way, I believe it all. So
Speaker 1: I don't why is he not signed yet. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe some guys are waiting it out. There's nothing going
Speaker 1: on for the next month, so maybe no deadlines, no
Speaker 1: rush or anything from that perspective. Maybe that's it. But again,
Speaker 1: I would love to add Jenevion Clowney to the mix.
Speaker 4: How old is Clowney, Now that's a good point.
Speaker 1: My guess would be thirty two. But let me try
Speaker 1: trying to do the math of when he was drafted.
Speaker 1: Let's see what he is. Bingo was his name, though
Speaker 1: he is thirty two, born in ninety three. There you go.
Speaker 2: It seems like he's been around forever, right.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Absolutely, And like I said, he one
Speaker 1: of the most unique number one overall picks ever because
Speaker 1: he never began a superstar. He never had He has
Speaker 1: not had to this point a double digit sex season.
Speaker 1: All of his sacks have been between nine and a
Speaker 1: half and three and a half basically his entire career.
Speaker 1: So he just kind of has a nice floor, but
Speaker 1: no crazy ceiling. He's just been a really good run defender,
Speaker 1: So I mean, that's a good player in the NFL,
Speaker 1: But that's not number one overall pick worthy. You know,
Speaker 1: he had that crazy play in college where he blew
Speaker 1: that dude's helmet off. I think that Michigan game or something,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, boom, is stock Rose
Speaker 1: crazy in that draft. I just think he's a good player.
Speaker 1: I think he just does his job, does his business.
Speaker 1: And again with what the Jets defensive line is looking like, again,
Speaker 1: the Jets must know something I do. They have plenty
Speaker 1: of money, so what do we Why are we not
Speaker 1: using it, you know, to help him?
Speaker 3: Character is a character issue?
Speaker 1: Possibly it could be. I guess I have not heard
Speaker 1: any care issues with Davian Clowney in any of his
Speaker 1: previous stops, but I guess, you know, it could be
Speaker 1: possible that there was some rub there. Why why did
Speaker 1: Carolina pull the plug at the timing of the off
Speaker 1: season was a little interesting? So yeah, yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: that's a I'll have to try to explore some more
Speaker 1: on that.
Speaker 3: Finnie's not the guy that stepped on that guy's head
Speaker 3: early in his No.
Speaker 1: That's Albert Hainsworth.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Andre Gerad, the former Dallas Cowboys offensive line He kicked
Speaker 1: his helmet off and then like I saw it live
Speaker 1: and I'm like, that's he's not doing what I think
Speaker 1: he's about to do. And he did. I'm like, Jesus,
Speaker 1: you have cleats on you freak what are you doing? Like,
Speaker 1: it's just I just that's come on, man, you want
Speaker 1: to fight someone, Manda, Man, you guys take your helmets off.
Speaker 1: You want to swing at each other's face. Okay, I
Speaker 1: could sort of respect that trying to cleat somebody that's
Speaker 1: fucked up. So, yes, that was Albert Hainsworth who did that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, I played football in the nineteen seventies and I
Speaker 3: was running back and the only difference I noticed that
Speaker 3: was really tough.
Speaker 4: You played, you played hurt.
Speaker 3: Well you did that too, you know you play, Yeah yeah,
Speaker 3: and it's all about knocking the snot out of the next.
Speaker 1: Guy and you know that's it.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 1: So anyway, peace out, love it, hep, thanks for the call,
Speaker 1: and that's the rules. Yes, there's a difference between being
Speaker 1: injured and being hurt. I always felt like anytime I
Speaker 1: got banged up, and uh oh, I have more concussions
Speaker 1: than I can count. That was my biggest injuries. That
Speaker 1: I had in college, but I was either too stupid,
Speaker 1: prideful wanted to be a tough guy. I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I just said we got to do this as a
Speaker 1: team get up, which is cool. By the way, I'll
Speaker 1: have to share it to I'll have to share it
Speaker 1: over here. It's on The Manchut Show boy Green Digital.
Speaker 1: We posted it last night. If you guys want to
Speaker 1: hear anything about my high school football journey, it's a
Speaker 1: small piece of the interview. We're more so promoting the
Speaker 1: current program, but that's at the end of the interview.
Speaker 1: My radio partner wants to know, so what was Boygreen
Speaker 1: like as a teammate? And there's a full interview up
Speaker 1: on The Manchu Show with boy Green Digital. That's our
Speaker 1: radio show that's making the transition to full time digital.
Speaker 1: If you go over to that YouTube channel, it's a
Speaker 1: audio only. You don't see any video. There's just like
Speaker 1: a little picture up. But it's our full radio interview
Speaker 1: with my former teammate Chris Pike, who is our quarterback
Speaker 1: my senior season. And yeah, he's told some stories about
Speaker 1: me being a teammate, and so there's some fun stuff
Speaker 1: in there. If you guys want to check that out
Speaker 1: on the Manchet Show Boy Green Digital thing, and it
Speaker 1: was fun. I played running back and cornerback in football,
Speaker 1: and one time we had injuries or something, so I
Speaker 1: played middle linebacker at five foot two, one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty pounds, and I put on this jersey and like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, like somehow I had a sense of
Speaker 1: the plays and I was blowing things up. But sometimes
Speaker 1: the offense hates because they're trying to go through their process.
Speaker 1: So if someone's blowing up their plays, that's normally bad
Speaker 1: for business. And I still have that ripped up linebacker
Speaker 1: jersey I wore for that practice. That's hanging up somewhere
Speaker 1: in my closet. I just it forever. It was just cool.
Speaker 1: They hit Paul linebacker, like all right, sure, I'll figure
Speaker 1: it out. I had not been playing linebacker, had never
Speaker 1: played linebacker previously, and to this day, I've not played linebacker.
Speaker 1: That was the one practice I had to do it
Speaker 1: for our offense and defense because of injuries. And that
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun. So some cool stories in there,
Speaker 1: because check those out again the Man Shot Show with
Speaker 1: Boy Green Digital. Since we're talking about it, let me
